• 0:24
  Speaker 2: We are throwing it at the fuk back.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: We're throwing at the back because we got a little
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: bit junkie per the other week and we were like,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: how funny would it be if we recorded an episode
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: reacting to our first ever episode of Two Broke Chicks
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: when we had no idea what we were doing. I
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: don't can still think we have what we're doing.

  Speaker 3: Hopefully hopefully you guys like that.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: So I am low key nervous, but I'm excited.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I have never listened back to our old episodes.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: May neither, because we listen back to the episodes every
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: week as they go live, you know, to do the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: edits and all of those things with our fabulous team.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I've never retrospectively gone back and listened to
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: any episodes so I feel like we're going to be
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: either shocked by how different we are or maybe pleasantly
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: surprised that we're still the same.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know it's going to be good.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: But before we get into it, what's your obsession of
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the week. My obsession of the week is a new
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: skin care product that I got to try.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: This week.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: We were invited by ESMI to get facial at the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Parlor Room in Redfern to try out their new hydrogew
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: gel masks and I love them. Oh these are the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: like the patches, right, yeah, yeah, So they are gel
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: patches that you can put under your eyes and they.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Have three different types.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: So there's one for brightening, another one for depuffing, and
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: then another one that targets like fine lines. And in
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: my service, I got to try the brightening and the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: depuffing and I love them both.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I also learned that you can use.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Gel patches all over your face, yeah, not just under
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: your eyes, which I was kind of like, duh, but
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I'm like, no, you can use them like anywhere that
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you feel like you need them, And yeah, definitely give
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: them a go.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I think they're thirty nine dollars and you.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Get sixty patches, so it is around like sixty five
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: cents per patch or something like that. But yeah, they're
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: gorgeous and I love a gel.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: You do, especially that Pop them in the fridge.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pop them in the fridge, like so beautiful when
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you're getting ready in the morning to depuff. I definitely
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: recommend gorge what's yours? My obsession is that by twenty thirty,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: forty five percent of women are predicted to be single.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: According to research, This is great news for them. So
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: research consistently shows that single women are happier than married women,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: live longer, and make more money.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I know.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: And the opposite is true for men.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: So the why, And it's because in heterosexual relationships, women
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: still do majority of the unpaid labor yea. And the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: rise of single women is primarily due to the fact
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: that women are no longer pressured into marriage for financial
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and cultural reasons.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: So, for example, it wasn't.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Until nineteen seventy five that UK women could open a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: bank account in their own name. And while this independence
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: benefits women, it hurts men, who lose access to the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: unpaid labor of women supporting their careers and overall wellbeing.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that was from Female Invests, and I was like, Slay.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Honestly makes sense.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: They don't have their mummies to take care of them anymore, exactly.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: So if you're a single girlie, slay, Yeah, things are
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: looking up.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Chy mean, shall we throw it back? Let's throw it back.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: To twenty twenty one. Oh my god, something's never changed.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: The music is still exactly the same.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: It's never going to change. Pay Pals, Welcome to the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: pal Pal House.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Fuck is pals pal pay Pals?
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Oh my god? Oh my god? Not on brand cells?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: No, yuck.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: We hadn't formed a bond with you.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Check very first episode of Two Broke Jicks, the show
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: sharing life lessons from the gals for the goals. We
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: know firsthand that navigating your twenties is bloody hard and unfortunate.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: You usually have to learn those lessons the hard way.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: But with this show, we're hoping we can make it
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: that little bit easier.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: I believe we've done that.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I think so as well. I think we've.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Nailed the breez.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Yes, Also, did we suck on a helium balloon?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Do we sound Is that you?
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Or no? Is that what I said? Is that what
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: I sound like I feel like we sound I feel
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: like we sound different.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we were a little bit more
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: scripted in the beginning, and that's why it sounds like
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I have a stick up my arm. But also when
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: we recorded the very first season, we're in lockdown, so
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: we were recording it via a like tool called riverside. Yeah,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: so maybe that's why we sound like we gave a
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: helium balloon a gobby. Yeah.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: The audio quality has definitely had to blow up.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, from how to land your first full time gigs.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Bro bro, who is that?
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Honestly?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: To getting over an X or even just horrace housemates.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: So am I as well as some fabulous guests.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Along the way.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: We'll do some digging and get the answer to the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: questions that will help you live your.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Very best life.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: She is reading a script, whoever that is, is like,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I am absolutely reading a script there because I was
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: nervous and with lots of laughs and probably a few
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: too many inappropriate jokes along the way. Never cy, I
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: do want to say that, but as this is our
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: very first season, we should probably introduce ourselves, right, So
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I'll go first. No, no, no, no, no, I hate
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: this shit. I feel like my skeleton wants to escape
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: from my bodies because I just feel like I'm reading cringe.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I feel like my first day at UNI and you're
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: going around and like telling like an interesting fact about yourself,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and I vaguely remember what we.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Said, and I tried to be funny. I'm just dying
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: and we haven't even Let's just.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay, everybody.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Gergeloin's McMullen, a sixty year old rock and roller stuck
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: inside the twenty eight year old's body. Eight.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: It's true.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I live in Sydney's in a West with my boyfriend
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: of many years, but I'm also engaged to Harry Styles.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: But she doesn't need to se Alan I met because
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: we're actually both journalists, believe it or not, and we've
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: been working in the media industry for many, many years.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Why does this sound like a job intertion, That's what
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's so I think the full name, not
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the full name, I am, Sally McMullen. I guess we
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: really felt like we had to introduce ourselves because you know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: we didn't come from a reality TV show, which is fine.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: We didn't come we weren't like influencers with a huge community.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Around our personalities already.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: So I think we really were like, we have to
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: introduce ourselves to the content groo, like why people should listen,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: being like we have degrees worked in this, Like we
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: felt as though we needed to prove ourselves to strangers. Yeah,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and be like this is why we should listen, Like
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: we're good, we swear yeah.
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: Fuck.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I've written about everything from now Polish to credit scores. True,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: so the exact range that you would expect. But I
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: also do freelance music journalism on the side.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: You sound really cool. We should be friends.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: We should be best friends.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, I feel Yeah, that's a great idea.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Let's do that.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: So I'm Alex.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I'm twenty five, single and have worked as a shopping journalist.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm still twenty five and single, right,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. For context, I am now nearly twenty nine,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and I am a wife and a mother to a
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: child to a child.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is crazy.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: This is so like fuck.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: The last four years I've worked at some incredible places
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: like MTV and Chauffeur as well.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: But the main things that.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: You need to know about me is that I have
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: a crippling shopping addiction.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Still, I'm the one on this.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Podcast who will be probably just cracking the wise guy jokes,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: but also I'm very softy at heart and also quintessential areas.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: If you can tell that we're reading these from like that,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: we had talking points today, I like literally being like
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I'm so funny. I mean, like, guys, I'm really funny, Like, oh,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: you're not funny.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: If you have to tell people you're funny.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. If you ever hear me slipping into an English
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: accent for no apparent reason, don't worry about it.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: It's just something that happens, and just go with it.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: That's when you know it's serious business when the British
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: accent comes out. Am I either serious or drunk sometimes
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: always both. At the time of this recording, Sal and
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I were both in Sydney's very very long Lockdown.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: So you know we've been surviving but not thriving. Pray
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: for us, which is it? Please still do?
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: So we thought we would kick off the season with
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: some super easy self care habits to get that sweet
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: serotonin hit that we all know we sound so loveous.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Give it to me.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: What's your life? Lesson this week al.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: My life lesson is just always going to be the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: dumb thing that I did that way.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: I know what disease, shit, I don't remember.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: My life lesson this is to always check your details.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: In your resume, or you're signing up for a free
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: trial or.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: In my case, opening a high interest savings account. There
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: should be like a chime here, but for like brownie
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: points for me for doing that.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I was signing up with a bank that I don't
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: normally bank with and putting in all my details and
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I accidentally put my email in as my email at
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: gmail dot vomb iconic for the life of me, couldn't
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: realize why I wasn't getting this email to confirm my identity.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: And I was like, what has happened?
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: And I go back to the page and it's my
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: email at gmail dot vomb and I'm on the phone
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and they're like, sorry, can you say that again? I'm
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: like no, no, like dot vomb, like vomit, like not dot com.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: She had a good love, I had a good cry,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: everyone came out of it a winner.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: But check you details. That's my life lesson. Why is
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: it always me? Why is it always me?
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Peras a good time.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Across the three years that we've been doing this show,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I've had to have that embarrassing moment with the bank
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I've got my tits out of the skin check that
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I didn't mean to. I talked about shooting myself at Toddy's.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I talked about getting my kouchie out in Bondai when
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I was wearing a crotchless one piece that I didn't realize.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Why is it always mean press play?
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, my life lesson is kind of linked to
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: what we're talking about today. So I was scrolling on
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Instagram as one does during lockdown, and I learned that
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the physiological lifespan of an emotion in your body and
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: brain only.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: Last ninety seconds.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Right, I didn't believe you could say this.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Today's so safety get really angry about something. That feeling
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: of getting angry and like feeling hot, feeling a bit flustered,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: whatever it is, feeling a bit anxious that only lasts
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: for ninety seconds. Interesting because you remember that, you have
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: you remembered that since you said that was your life lesson? No,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I feel like I remember it, but it's a life lesson.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Is I look at a sky of I'm like we're learning,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: we're learning.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Something from us.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I'm like, that's a good one.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: So yeah, good jobs out.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: And then the rest of it is your brain and
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: your attitude focusing on it and just like elongating that
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: emotion kit. Being like four years past this episode, how
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: do you feel like you handle your emotions now in
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: comparison to like that girl.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Going to therapy.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I think I could wear a lot better. I think
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: we're so much better.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I think whenever we're like going down a little bit
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: of like a nag headspace, obviously it's touch and go
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and it does depend on the context, but I do
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: think we pull ourselves out of it, and we pull
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: up on it very quick. We hit the handbrake before
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the spiral can like, yeah, take us out. Like if
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: we're being negative or like having a win, to'll be like,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: but do you know what, like at the.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: End of the day, and we'll like list like three positive.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Things that I think we are a lot less grumpy.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: So that was my life lesson for the week.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Amazing.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I'm going to try that count to ninety instead of
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: count to ten, Count to ninety. World Mental Health Day
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: is actually coming up in a couple of days by
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: the time we release this episode. But I feel like
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: this is a conversation that we can be having all
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: year round, especially right now. And like you said, our
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the last twelve eighteen months have been the worst for
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: pretty much everyone.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Stop talking about COVID.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole episode about being backed down, but that's
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: what it was like at the time. Back to it,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: move on, Yeah, to talk about now with Mental Health day,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: but also just all the time.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, especially with the lockdowns that we've had. Everyone's trying to.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Take a shot every time you say lockdown.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: On feeling the heat a little bit. So I think
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: we could all.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Use dos as self cave self love, but it can
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: actually be really hard to kind of make time for
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: it and muster up the energy to do it and
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: also know what will work for you. A few easy
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: habits to get you out of that funk. Some of
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: them are tried and true, others are backed by science,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: and a few of them are just weird little habits
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: us every site enjoy those. My first one is move
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: your body the singing.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: I know it's an annoying guy.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: We know the singing is annoying.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: But it's just like ingrained in our DNA.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I've just really want to point out that we've really
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: cut back on the singing, whether it is physically or
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: just via the edit.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: And that's for you chicks.
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, might get copyrighted for that.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Bring it, Olivia, let's go trying to find I don't
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: love working out.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: What I know, I'm sure that's you.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: That's do you want to give a bit of context
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: to that now, because I feel like that is not
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the case anymore. Yeah, I would say that prior to
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: lockdown or anything, it was like a real chore that
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I felt like I had to do, and if I
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: didn't do it one day, I would like really spiral
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and feel guilty and just felt like it completely knocked
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: me off, like my goals.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: For the week.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Whereas now I have a more healthy relationship with it
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: because it is about how I feel after the workout
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: and picking workouts that I actually enjoy and not just
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: doing classes or things that I feel like high intensity
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: workouts that I feel like I should be doing. How
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: do you feel like you got to that point? Because
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I think that's one of the things that people who
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: were maybe in like that earlier stage that you were in.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: That's like working out feels like a chore, They feel
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: like they have to do it. If they don't do it,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: they feel guilty. How did you kind of go about
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: like developing that relationship, because then you see people who
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: feel like that, They see people being like I was you,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: and I like, I am in love with working out
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: it and it kind of seems like I would even
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: go as far to say, like unrelatable in some instances, Yeah,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: not with you at all, But like, how did you
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: kind of transition to that point of realizing, No, I
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: actually really do enjoy this and this is like a
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: pleasure for me. I think it's trying different things and
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: figuring out what you want to do with your workout,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: because I fucking hate doing box jumps and shit like that,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: and always felt so anxious before the class even doing
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: things like that.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Whereas now that I've learned what I actually.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Like doing and what makes me feel fell stronger both
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: physically and mentally, I just get more out of the
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: workout and I don't walk into the gym with anxiety,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: which is what I had before, And I know that
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: no one there cares what I'm doing, nobody's looking at
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: what I'm doing, and as much as I really loved
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: classes at the time, Maybe it was that maybe.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: The classes were too restrictive for what I wanted.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: To do, or just only doing classes, which is what
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I was doing previously, was a bit too restrictive, whereas
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: now I've been doing a little bit more of my
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: own thing and then doing like pilates and things like
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: every so often.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: You really like the kick app, don't you?
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: I love the kick App.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I think the way that they talk about exercise really
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: really healthy and soft, and it's pretty much all to
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: do with strength and mental health, which is so important.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Love Steph, love Laura mummy.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Speaking of your body, Oh no, into.
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: Mine the sound effects already, but I don't think.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Whether it's with yourself with someone else?
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Why is it going on for so long? Why is
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: it going on for so long?
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: Actually made me.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Go soft hell for a bit of BTS.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I wanted to say masturbate in this, but I can't
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: remember if I was too shy or if our old
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: editor said that I wasn't allowed to, so I had
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: to say the intimate, whether it's with yourself or with
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: someone else. It was it was heavy on the yourself. Yeah,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: it was heavy on that, but I can't stand this.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Elevator Music Partners single Bubbles that Snake a little link,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: be intimate with yourself or someone else, because finding that
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: release can cause dopamine? Why am I so serious about
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: talking about mausing pleasure and gets released into your body
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: and not only makes you feel good, but it puts
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: you into go marry.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: It's true. Who doesn't love that?
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm trying to be around the bush here, but.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Sorry, mum fucking been around the bush heo, Oh my god,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: she's so shy. Honestly, actually, it's crazy how much like
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: I think there is a narrative of like, I've definitely
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: developed maybe some insecurities from this job of like being
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: on a platform and you know, we get opinions twenty
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: four hours a day, and there is definitely a negative
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: element of that.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: But listening to this has made me realize.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: How much confidence this job has given me, how much
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: like building and creating and bonding with this amazing community
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: of just being ourselves has like actually built my confidence
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: because I would have said that, like, I wouldn't have
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: realized this if we weren't listening to this. I feel
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: like we're so much more confident, confident now.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Honestly like I'm too scared to be like yeah, and.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Like I just sound so nervous.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: We both sound we both.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: You can tell that we're okay.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: And it also releases oxytocin which lowest cortersold levels and quarters.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Old way am I trying to see?
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: That is the truest form of self love.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: I know, self love, baby to give that cause on giving.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: This is one that we both enjoy, especially read something
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: to escape this cruel, cruel world basie Bitch Book Club.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: We both love reading, but especially we love to read
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: fantasy or anything that's basically going to take us out.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: Of modern day twenty twenty one.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: We are nothing if not consistent.

  Speaker 1: Honestly, see, this isn't an act, this is true.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: This is true love.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: So I also love a good rock autobiography or like
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: a fiction that transports me to another time, a completely
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: different decade or world. Sometimes if you're reading something and
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: it's just going to get you down in the dumps
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: as well, Like, of course it's good to be informed
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: and educated, but in this time, during lockdown, we're already time.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: I definitely recommend diving into a fantasy something where you
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: can really just like shut out the rest of the
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: world for.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: Ten minutes, half an hour.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: I find that so relaxing right now, like at the
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: end of a long work day.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Can I just.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Say, oh, I love like the moment that fantasy books
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: are having at the moment me too.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: They're getting their time in the sun fun.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Oh did I.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Single handedly the rise of book talk.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Definitely?
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Maybe, maybe finally.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I have been embarrassed about reading these like fairy LoVa
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: books my entire life.

  Speaker 3: You're like, what are you reading like that?
• 22:57

  Speaker 3: These two little girls hadn't written a book?
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what the hell.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Do you think that if you had told twenty twenty
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: one Alex that you were going to be.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: A published author, would you believe it? No fucking way,
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: would you know?
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: So we found out that we were. We got offered
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: the chance to write a book.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: In what twenty twenty Yeah? Wow, yeah, so that was
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: a year later. Yeah, that's fucking crazy. Isn't that wild?
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: And just like again, the like confidence level of like
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: I'm even still being like, oh yeah, like books, whereas
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: now I'm like basic Bach book Club fifty.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Thousand followers, and like I'm literally talking about the rogus ship.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Being coy about fantasy. But like, god, we've come so far.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: I'm so far.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, So my next one is a good old tip
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: from my therapist or m oh my god.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: My god, if wolves could talk.
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: Oh fuck, that was I wish I had some like
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: hot like therapist story. But he literally was like the
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: fucking professor from Back to the Future.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: I love him. I don't even know.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Thanks thanks for taking our girl.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Honestly, I'm curious as to what this tip will be.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: So Sally's like, thank you.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: But one really good tip that he gave me Also,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I paid like lots of money for these sessions, Gales,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: so like, take the hips as like am they're free. Else,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: one thing that he gave me that was really helpful
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: was whenever you feel yourself going through that spiral, whether
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: it's like an anxiety spiral or like a little bit
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: of a sad spiral and you can't really pull yourself
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: out of it, focus on the physical. So, for example,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: if you had a fight with your boyfriend or something
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: bad happened at work and you're watching TV and you
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: feel yourself mentally going back to that and thinking about
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: the conversation or thinking about what you would have said.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Go do something. She's been an overthinker.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I think that's really physical for your body, and that's
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: not necessarily a workout either. It could literally be jumping
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: in the shower and focusing on the water droplets on
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: your body, or go for a walk and really focus
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: on like the heel tone movement of your.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Fucking sound effects. I'm crying if I can't, what the
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: hell do we meant?
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Well? But unless heel but if you do that, please
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: switch this off.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: I don't want to know.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: My next one is Harry Poppins that so have a
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: good chuckle. I learned that laughter can increase your dopamine
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: and serotonin activity scientific science. Feeling a bit flat, do
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: something that will make you laugh.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: I love watching What are the things that make you laugh?
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 26:33

• 26:58
  Speaker 1: jokes that we've had over the last six or seven years.

  Speaker 1: it will keep us like accountable?
• 28:51

  Speaker 1: the next episode as well.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: So we never did that, but.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: We had like two listeners, no legit.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: I think on our first season we did a total
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: of thirteen episodes. Yeah, and I think we had less
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: than ten thousand downloads. I think it was like, yeah,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: I think we would get like one thousand downloads per episode, which.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Is not bad. No, it's a great place to start.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: But yeah, there was.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: A thousand people listening, like, yeah, that's that's for two
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: people that came from nowhere, people that came from a
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: small town.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: Again that we literally popped up out of a hole
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: in the ground.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: I hear you what. We're going to move into our
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: next segment, classes in session, So we're going do you
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: don't remember.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: That class is in session?
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Session? What is this advice of the chief? You said
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: to me, did you ever have a segment on your
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: show classes in session with Chest? I would have said,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: did we do this the whole first season? No way,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I have no idea.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: What the fuck?
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Oh my god?
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: To answer some cute advice as a chief that y'all
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: have sent in some advice from us. There were a few,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: but we thought that this one was pretty relatable. The
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: question was I struggle to make time for self care?
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: What can I do to make it stick?
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: Now? I feel like you have.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Some really good tips for this one, because, like you said,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: you've tried a lot.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm also really lazy.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: One till I got from a life coach that was
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: really helpful in terms of making time for suff Can
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: you tell that I was like going through it because
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I was like my therapist, my life code. We Yeah,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: both sound like we're having a rough time. Yeah, working out,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: whether it's studying, is the way and trick to make
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: time for something is to set a timer for ten minutes.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Now, I can love this.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: I think has been mentioned like seventeen times.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Actually getting the motivation to do it, Like I said before,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: for me, it's always putting on my shoes before doing
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: a workout is the part that I will procrastinate the most.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Still is that still true?
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the ten minute timer thing has really helped.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: And also setting them out beforehand.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: That tip has been flogged like a dead horse.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you set that timer, then it's only ten
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: minutes and yeah, if you don't like it, then whatever,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I try something else.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: It's not for you, that's fine.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: That just reminded me of the time that you went
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: to the gym before work and you just pack your
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: boots for work and you just went to the gym,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: you came to work wearing jeans and then your runners.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: It was so funny.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: But all the fucking funniest part of that is that that.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Was such a conundrum. I was like, what the fuck
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: do I do? I didn't pack my boots. I've only
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: got like new balanced sneakers to wear my jeans.
• 32:17

• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Today's episode that self isn't a one size fit all
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: solution doesn't have to be expensive or time consuming, which
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I think is the message that's push on to us

  Speaker 1: a lot of the time. And it also doesn't have

  Speaker 1: Yeah, we recorded this entire first season in lockdown take
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: a shot, but we also bulk recorded all the episodes
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: before releasing them. And then I think something that we
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: changed for the second season is that we record every week,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: and I think that has also been recording in person
• 33:54
