- 0:59Speaker 2: I would love to one time experience a fall same Yeah,
- 1:06Speaker 2: like a Gilmore Girl's.
- 1:08Speaker 3: Yeah, like the Halloween fall.
- 1:10Speaker 1: Oh, like I would love to go to a Halloween

- 1:15Speaker 2: Yeah, in my mind, it's kind of already October. I
- 1:18Speaker 2: don't know how I've gotten there, but I'm already.
- 1:21Speaker 3: Like spooky season. Yeah it's not.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Yeah, but we were talking about potential Halloween plans last
- 1:28Speaker 1: night and like watching spooky movies with girls, So maybe that's.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Why Yeah in the air and like wake me up
- 1:35Speaker 2: when September end.
- 1:37Speaker 3: Literally yeah, yeah, you know.
- 1:40Speaker 2: But today we have a very fun little episode. We've
- 1:44Speaker 2: did one of these a while ago and you chicks
- 1:47Speaker 2: loved it, so we're doing an updated version and it's
- 1:49Speaker 2: basically how to become unrecognizable by the end of the
- 1:52Speaker 2: year because I've really got about five months left. I know,
- 1:56Speaker 2: literally like less than one hundred days till the end
- 1:58Speaker 2: of the year or something like that.
- 2:00Speaker 3: It's not but don't fact check me, but yeah, yeah,
- 2:06Speaker 3: and we're in like that second half of the year.
- 2:09Speaker 1: I think it's a good time to reflect on, you know,
- 2:13Speaker 1: where you feel like you're at at this point, like
- 2:16Speaker 1: the things that you've achieved so far this year. Good vibes,
- 2:19Speaker 1: good vibes, and just like maybe thinking ahead on how
- 2:23Speaker 1: you want to end the year and like who you
- 2:26Speaker 1: want to.
- 2:26Speaker 3: Be by the end of the year exactly. But before
- 2:29Speaker 3: we get into that, of course, we must discuss our
- 2:33Speaker 3: obsessions of the week. Yes, hit me, what do you
- 2:37Speaker 3: got me? Shut? My obsession of the week is Copenhagen
- 2:42Speaker 3: Fashion Week. Oh has this been all over?
- 2:44Speaker 2: Your feeding has been and it's the heavy on the heels?
- 2:48Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we've obviously discussed this this week.
- 2:52Speaker 2: But how do you feel about the heavy, the heavy heel,
- 2:55Speaker 2: the humble heavy heel?
- 2:57Speaker 1: Well, you know I love the humble heavy, Yes, I
- 2:59Speaker 1: mean I did the humble heavy need a humble heavy heel?
- 3:03Speaker 3: I think slave only because I'm like, why not innovate?
- 3:10Speaker 3: Do you know what?
- 3:10Speaker 1: I didn't expect this from you, and I really like
- 3:13Speaker 1: it and take a chance on something, and I just
- 3:16Speaker 1: think it's camp. Yeah, you know see I was being
- 3:19Speaker 1: a bit of a hater, Yeah, because I think that's
- 3:20Speaker 1: the thing. I was like, I don't know if I
- 3:22Speaker 1: love it or I hate it. Yeah, And I'm like
- 3:24Speaker 1: I don't know how to look away.
- 3:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like, I wouldn't. I don't.
- 3:28Speaker 1: I would never wear them, but I do think that
- 3:32Speaker 1: they're quite camp.
- 3:33Speaker 2: What happened if a Jeannie came out of a bottle
- 3:35Speaker 2: and then they said you have to wear the humble
- 3:38Speaker 2: heavy heel for every day for an entire year and
- 3:42Speaker 2: you will get fifty thousand dollars tax free, would you
- 3:47Speaker 2: do it?
- 3:47Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 3:48Speaker 1: I'd probably do it in this economy, Yeah, I would
- 3:52Speaker 1: buy my groceries for two weeks literally.
- 3:55Speaker 2: One yeah, literally, he went milk no for two years,
- 4:01Speaker 2: three years for that.
- 4:02Speaker 3: But yeah, tell me more about Copenhagenpenhagen. Yeah exactly, girl,
- 4:08Speaker 3: after your own Heart.
- 4:09Speaker 1: It's the fifth fashion week and it's actually the only
- 4:11Speaker 1: one where sustainability compliance is a mandatory.
- 4:14Speaker 3: To show, wow, which I thought was really cool.
- 4:17Speaker 1: So, for example, every brand that's showing in the calendar
- 4:21Speaker 1: has been screened against nineteen mandatory sustainability standards, including no
- 4:26Speaker 1: for no exotic skins, and no destroying unsold stock, which
- 4:31Speaker 1: I was like, that is amazing. And apparently London Fashion
- 4:34Speaker 1: Week are going to be following suit, yeah, because I
- 4:38Speaker 1: think their fashion week is in September.
- 4:40Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm like, yes, like, let that be a
- 4:43Speaker 3: trend seriously. Yeah. So I thought that was really really cool.
- 4:47Speaker 1: But I do think that interest in Copenhagen Fashion Week
- 4:52Speaker 1: has definitely increased over the last couple of years, and
- 4:56Speaker 1: it's where we see really really cool street style, and
- 5:00Speaker 1: I think because it is sort of innovating in that
- 5:03Speaker 1: space and showing that like fashion and sustainability can go
- 5:07Speaker 1: hand in hand and it's important to care about that
- 5:09Speaker 1: kind of stuff that it is becoming more and more
- 5:12Speaker 1: popular and getting more recognition.
- 5:14Speaker 3: Which I really really like because usually.
- 5:15Speaker 1: We would just think like New York, London, Paris fashion weeks,
- 5:19Speaker 1: so the biggest fashion weeks.
- 5:20Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I would argue that Copenhagen is the best
- 5:23Speaker 2: fashion week.
- 5:24Speaker 3: Hmmm, just throwing that out there. Yeah, well apparently been.
- 5:28Speaker 3: But from what we've seen from the other side of
- 5:31Speaker 3: the screen.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and yeah, apparently interesting. Copenhagen Fashion Week is
- 5:36Speaker 1: up one hundred and ten percent this.
- 5:38Speaker 3: Year versus the period last year. Yeah, pretty cool, very cool.
- 5:45Speaker 3: Copenhagen girls trip exactly. Yeah, what's your obsession?
- 5:49Speaker 2: Okay, my obsession of the week is a post I saw.
- 5:52Speaker 3: On the line and it's old jobs that no longer exist.
- 5:56Speaker 3: Oh my god, you're gonna like this.
- 5:59Speaker 2: So human alarm clocks. So before alarm clocks, knocker uppers
- 6:05Speaker 2: were hired to wake people by tapping on windows with
- 6:08Speaker 2: long poles, clubs or pebbles so they wouldn't miss work.
- 6:12Speaker 3: Well, you'd be like, fuck off, stephens, cut them on. Yeah,
- 6:18Speaker 3: go to work. I don't know why there's an accent there.
- 6:21Speaker 3: Why not. The Australian version would be like, oh, we
- 6:24Speaker 3: get up, but starting for work. You're lazy. Fuck, I'm
- 6:30Speaker 3: Saturday a lamplighter.
- 6:34Speaker 2: So before electricity, lamplighters used long poles to light, refuel,
- 6:38Speaker 2: and extinguish street lamps. Bring that back aircraft listeners, so
- 6:43Speaker 2: before radar armies use this giant acoustic device that was
- 6:47Speaker 2: like on people's heads that they would like capture the
- 6:51Speaker 2: sound and it would like go with like a big
- 6:53Speaker 2: cone in their ear to detect approaching enemy aircrafts.
- 6:57Speaker 3: You couldn't scroll on your phone on that job. Yea god.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Pressure pin setters at the bowling alley they would set
- 7:03Speaker 2: up the pins the Milkman factory lectors, so before radio's
- 7:09Speaker 2: factory electors read aloud to workers during long shifts, the
- 7:14Speaker 2: original live potio.
- 7:15Speaker 3: Yes, I was just gonna say, they're coming for a gig.
- 7:18Speaker 3: Town crier. We'd be good at that.
- 7:20Speaker 2: We would be yeah, being like yo, I got some tea.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Basically before newspapers and mass communication, town criers announced news
- 7:32Speaker 2: and public messages in the streets. I would love that job.
- 7:34Speaker 2: The next job I would not love is rat catchers.
- 7:37Speaker 2: Oh god, it seeks for itself. And then, last, but
- 7:42Speaker 2: not least, the human computer before electronic computers, human computers
- 7:47Speaker 2: performed complex mathematical calculations by hand.
- 7:51Speaker 3: We'd be really good at that one. I'd be better
- 7:54Speaker 3: at being a rat catcher than that one. I'd put
- 7:57Speaker 3: my hand up with that one over the human.
- 7:59Speaker 2: Seriously, would you rather be a rat catcher than a
- 8:02Speaker 2: human computer?
- 8:02Speaker 3: I think I'd be better at being a rat catcher,
- 8:04Speaker 3: for sure. I get await with animals. I like small,
- 8:07Speaker 3: but I don't know what happens once you catch the rats.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Right, they all live with me and they become my
- 8:12Speaker 1: army second moys.
- 8:15Speaker 3: Slowly over the word live live. Yeah, who do you
- 8:22Speaker 3: think would win? A thousand rats or a gorilla?
- 8:27Speaker 1: A gorilla stump stamp stump dead.
- 8:31Speaker 2: They take three steps stop, but they could really like
- 8:36Speaker 2: swarm it.
- 8:37Speaker 3: Yeah, it could just lay.
- 8:38Speaker 1: Down on them, but literally just lay down to a
- 8:41Speaker 1: couple of roly polies squashed a couple.
- 8:45Speaker 3: Like do the role? I should watch s Wrek this weekend.
- 8:52Speaker 2: Well, given that where we've answered many of the FAQ's
- 8:57Speaker 2: that we have multiple episodes gorillas and rats, let's get
- 9:02Speaker 2: into the episode. Okay, the first way to become unrecognizable
- 9:09Speaker 2: by the end of the year is lock back into
- 9:12Speaker 2: good vibes only we've kind of spoken about it here
- 9:16Speaker 2: and there throughout the year, but we very much try
- 9:20Speaker 2: to purposely keep a good ViBe's PMA all day. And
- 9:26Speaker 2: like that's not to say that you know there are
- 9:28Speaker 2: going to be moments where.
- 9:29Speaker 3: It's not good vibes.
- 9:30Speaker 2: Sometimes you have to have sad vibes, but there's definitely
- 9:34Speaker 2: moments where you can choose to lean into the winge,
- 9:38Speaker 2: or lean into the moan or the bend or being
- 9:40Speaker 2: angry about things, or you can kind of purposely project
- 9:45Speaker 2: and lean into positivity and good vibes only.
- 9:50Speaker 3: But I was doing actually a little bit of research, believe.
- 9:53Speaker 2: It or not, and bring in good vibes scientifically makes
- 9:57Speaker 2: you hotter. So this episode is not about literally being like, okay,
- 10:04Speaker 2: so now you're gonna get a blowout and now you're
- 10:05Speaker 2: gonna get a fig ten and you're gonna pluck your eyebrows,
- 10:07Speaker 2: don't wax them at home. But it's actually how can
- 10:11Speaker 2: you become unrecognizable in like your energy not physically, but
- 10:16Speaker 2: to your vibes that you're putting out to other people,
- 10:18Speaker 2: to your energy to other people, so.
- 10:22Speaker 3: Kind people are literally perceived as more physically attractive. MM.
- 10:28Speaker 2: So a twenty twenty five paper in the British Journal
- 10:30Speaker 2: of Social Psychology run ten studies with foury one hundred
- 10:34Speaker 2: and ninety two participants. People portrayed as pro social, kind, helpful,
- 10:40Speaker 2: generous were rated as more physically beautiful.
- 10:45Speaker 3: Isn't that wild? I can completely say that.
- 10:48Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm glad that there have been actual scientific
- 10:51Speaker 1: studies done to prove the fact. But how many times
- 10:55Speaker 1: do you, like, you know, you think about people and
- 10:58Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, they're really hot, but they have an
- 11:01Speaker 1: awful personality, so I don't consider them attractive anymore?
- 11:05Speaker 3: Like it really is?
- 11:06Speaker 2: It does. Yeah, it's like the twits, twats no tweets, twitts, twats.
- 11:12Speaker 3: It's like the twats. You know that kids the Kids
- 11:15Speaker 3: book the Twats.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's like the twits.
- 11:20Speaker 3: They have awful personality.
- 11:23Speaker 2: The ugly thoughts. You've become ugly on the outside. And
- 11:26Speaker 2: so this effect in the study appeared for both men
- 11:29Speaker 2: and women, and remarkably pro sociality think I'm saying that
- 11:34Speaker 2: right had a stronger effect on beauty ratings than other
- 11:37Speaker 2: desirable traits like intelligence or humor. So you don't need
- 11:41Speaker 2: to be the smartest person in the room. You don't
- 11:44Speaker 2: need to be the funniest person in the room. Being
- 11:48Speaker 2: hot in twenty twenty six literally is being a good
- 11:52Speaker 2: vibe and being kind and being nice. And it's very
- 11:56Speaker 2: very easy to get pulled into, you know, when someone's
- 12:00Speaker 2: bitching about someone at work.
- 12:02Speaker 3: Like oh yeah, yeah, be like, oh you don't like Jessica.
- 12:05Speaker 3: I fucking hate Jessica, Sorry Jessica, but.
- 12:09Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, it's actually better for you to lean into kindness.
- 12:14Speaker 2: And I feel like, not in like the way be
- 12:16Speaker 2: Me Kained, you know that show, but it really does
- 12:21Speaker 2: make a difference. And when I think of people that
- 12:22Speaker 2: I enjoy being around, they are those people that do
- 12:26Speaker 2: really lean into prioritizing positivity and niceness. So the researchers
- 12:33Speaker 2: also suggest that part of this happens because we want
- 12:35Speaker 2: to associate with good people.
- 12:36Speaker 3: Being around good people also makes us good people.
- 12:39Speaker 2: You are the company you keep seriously, and then it
- 12:42Speaker 2: kind of changes how positively we perceive them overall. And
- 12:46Speaker 2: the same thing also happens with random acts of kindness.
- 12:51Speaker 2: So researchers studying everything from giving strangers hot chocolate to
- 12:55Speaker 2: giving someone a gift found that the person performing the
- 12:58Speaker 2: kindness systemat underestimated how good it would make the recipient
- 13:04Speaker 2: feel the receiver valued the kindness more than the giver expected.
- 13:09Speaker 2: And there's also we've spoken about it before, but the
- 13:13Speaker 2: law of reciprocity, and basically when you compliment someone, you
- 13:18Speaker 2: also get the dopamine hit as if someone complimented you.
- 13:22Speaker 3: Yeah, So, like if.
- 13:24Speaker 2: You want to become unrecognizable by the end of the years,
- 13:27Speaker 2: just start throwing out the good vibes, yeah, and like
- 13:30Speaker 2: set that intention at the start of your day, like
- 13:33Speaker 2: it's all well and good to be like cool for
- 13:35Speaker 2: the rest of the year, I'm going to be a
- 13:36Speaker 2: really nice person. Like that's I feel like that's not
- 13:38Speaker 2: necessarily actionable, do you know what.
- 13:42Speaker 3: It's just easy to forget.
- 13:43Speaker 1: It's easy to back get to old habits because, like
- 13:47Speaker 1: Alexis was saying in our episode the other week, like
- 13:50Speaker 1: you can have a legitimate addiction to misery and you
- 13:54Speaker 1: get kind of almost like addicted to that, like those
- 13:57Speaker 1: senses of like those emotions and also the tension that
- 14:00Speaker 1: comes with that.
- 14:01Speaker 3: And also just it can be really easy to.
- 14:06Speaker 1: Rely on the negative, yeah, and just always focus on that.
- 14:10Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are like negatively biased
- 14:14Speaker 1: just by nature.
- 14:15Speaker 2: Well, it's like the Lucky Girl syndrome, which we're going
- 14:17Speaker 2: to do an episode on this, But there's actually science
- 14:19Speaker 2: behind like paying attention to good things that happen versus
- 14:23Speaker 2: paying attention to bad things that happen. It's easier to
- 14:26Speaker 2: pay attention to the negative and for that to stand out.
- 14:29Speaker 2: But when you purposely give your brain evidence of good.
- 14:33Speaker 3: Things, it'll be like, oh, no, it's a good day. Yeah,
- 14:35Speaker 3: this happened.
- 14:36Speaker 2: And then someone said your hair log nights, and then
- 14:39Speaker 2: you gave your brist you're a compliment and.
- 14:40Speaker 3: It was a good day.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're like yeah, okay, yeah, and then you're
- 14:44Speaker 1: more present in those moments when those good things happen.
- 14:47Speaker 1: But also they then become habits that like every day,
- 14:50Speaker 1: when you see someone, you're probably just going to give them.
- 14:52Speaker 2: A compliment exactly out of habit exactly. Okay, what's your
- 15:03Speaker 2: next one?
- 15:03Speaker 1: Okay, my next way to become unrecognizable by the end
- 15:08Speaker 1: of the year is breaking free from this self absorption paradox. Yeah,
- 15:14Speaker 1: stop being so obsessed with yoursessed with me?
- 15:20Speaker 2: What a hit?
- 15:21Speaker 3: What a fucking hit? Where I really ate with that?
- 15:24Speaker 2: You know about? I was literally about to say, can
- 15:27Speaker 2: we bring back good diss tracks please.
- 15:30Speaker 3: Like what swish swishish? Okay, seriously.
- 15:38Speaker 2: From the record, take it off the streaming services.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Yeah, but I want like distracks of like women on
- 15:45Speaker 1: like their shitty x's or just.
- 15:49Speaker 3: Whereas that was more like the girl and girl beef. Yeah,
- 15:52Speaker 3: let's start ripping on the man again. Yeah, let's polusic,
- 15:57Speaker 3: let's do that's the next way to become unrecognized? Bully man.
- 16:01Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I thought this was He said it quietly,
- 16:08Speaker 2: Bully like, it's a secret. Be like, now that you've
- 16:11Speaker 2: been in this episode for ten minutes and you know what,
- 16:13Speaker 2: girls have the men gone?
- 16:16Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 16:17Speaker 2: So yeah, that's yeah, bull men next to self absorption paradox.
- 16:21Speaker 3: Yeah, that one's self explanatory. Don't you dare cut that
- 16:24Speaker 3: from the episode either? All right, no, men are listening. Yeah,
- 16:29Speaker 3: we've seen in the audience demographics. Yeah yeah, yeah, I
- 16:32Speaker 3: think it's like one percent. Yeah. So, I think the
- 16:35Speaker 3: interesting thing is that I think a lot of people
- 16:37Speaker 3: would see the episode title like how to Become Unrecognizable
- 16:40Speaker 3: by the end of the year and think that it
- 16:42Speaker 3: really is like make of Vermontage.
- 16:45Speaker 1: Yeah, fully, like giving two thousands movies and listen here
- 16:49Speaker 1: you are ugly fucks a mirror.
- 16:52Speaker 3: Okay.
- 16:53Speaker 1: So I think the thing that is interesting about this
- 16:55Speaker 1: episode is that, yeah, a lot of people would look
- 16:57Speaker 1: at it and be like, all right, so I am
- 16:59Speaker 1: going to focusing a lot on myself and the things
- 17:02Speaker 1: that I can do and the things that I can
- 17:04Speaker 1: do to improve and better myself. But a big part
- 17:08Speaker 1: of that is actually stepping away and focusing less on
- 17:13Speaker 1: yourself and more so around like your self awareness of
- 17:18Speaker 1: other people and like the things around you that are
- 17:22Speaker 1: actually bigger than you, which I think it's only natural to, like,
- 17:29Speaker 1: we're all the main.
- 17:30Speaker 3: Character in our own yeah story, the.
- 17:32Speaker 1: Main character too hard though, Yeah, And it is really
- 17:35Speaker 1: good to have self awareness and know like the impact
- 17:39Speaker 1: that you have on people and that your habits are
- 17:41Speaker 1: having on yourself and your behaviors.
- 17:43Speaker 3: But I remember how we've.
- 17:44Speaker 2: Spoken about as well that like, I feel like we
- 17:47Speaker 2: could probably all think of or know someone that took
- 17:50Speaker 2: like being a main character a little bit too literally
- 17:52Speaker 2: as well. And then like chaos and misery and drama
- 17:57Speaker 2: becomes like a necessity, yeah, to life.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Because they're so often the juiciest plot lines. Yeah, so
- 18:04Speaker 1: they become you know, almost like a little bit addicted
- 18:06Speaker 1: to those sorts of things.
- 18:08Speaker 3: But then also, yeah, there's a difference.
- 18:10Speaker 2: They blame like being rude or late or being like
- 18:14Speaker 2: main character, not yeah, you just being a shit friend,
- 18:18Speaker 2: Like no, you actually forgot my birthday and didn't show
- 18:21Speaker 2: up and kicked my dog. Like that's not being a
- 18:24Speaker 2: main character, Jessica, it's being.
- 18:30Speaker 3: For I love Jessica.
- 18:32Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, so it's good to have self awareness,
- 18:36Speaker 1: but if you're obsessing over your behavior and being overly
- 18:40Speaker 1: controlling and rigid with your life or overly critical with yourself,
- 18:45Speaker 1: sometimes that can also do more harm than good. So
- 18:49Speaker 1: I think that when you are looking at how do
- 18:53Speaker 1: I want to spend the rest of the year, how
- 18:54Speaker 1: do I want like this second half of the year,
- 18:56Speaker 1: to look where do I want to be when I'm
- 18:58Speaker 1: like walking into twenty twenty s I.
- 19:02Speaker 3: Know it's crazy.
- 19:03Speaker 1: Instead of directing all of the attention just towards yourself
- 19:07Speaker 1: and what you need to control, you can also shift
- 19:10Speaker 1: your mindset to direct that attention elsewhere so that it
- 19:14Speaker 1: isn't all just about you and like what you're doing,
- 19:19Speaker 1: like focus on things that are bigger than you and
- 19:23Speaker 1: the people in your life. Who need you and what
- 19:26Speaker 1: is bigger than you, Because like you were saying in
- 19:29Speaker 1: your tip before, like you're doing something for somebody else,
- 19:33Speaker 1: but it does have direct benefits.
- 19:36Speaker 3: Oh in the longer, the biggest gas up.
- 19:38Speaker 2: Of the century, the best way, Like if you help
- 19:42Speaker 2: someone else, you're going to feel so gassed, and like
- 19:45Speaker 2: there are also such easy little ways to do all
- 19:49Speaker 2: of that, Like some of my personal favorites since you asked,
- 19:53Speaker 2: sound like donating blood, going and donating like plasma or blood.
- 20:00Speaker 2: You can also go and donate old books to those
- 20:03Speaker 2: like communal libraries on the street.
- 20:05Speaker 3: Like community libraries.
- 20:07Speaker 2: You can donate old towels or bedding to shelters like
- 20:11Speaker 2: they always need things like that. There's very easy ways
- 20:14Speaker 2: to kind of do something for someone else, and I'm sure.
- 20:17Speaker 3: It has the same effect as what.
- 20:19Speaker 2: We were saying before, is the compliment thing of being
- 20:21Speaker 2: like I did something for the greater good today.
- 20:24Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, signing a petition.
- 20:26Speaker 1: Literally yeah, or like going to a fundraiser or donating
- 20:32Speaker 1: to a charity that you care about, or even like
- 20:35Speaker 1: if you're say a friend is like hosting an event,
- 20:39Speaker 1: or they're you know, doing something for work, or they're
- 20:43Speaker 1: even like creating content on social media and you're like
- 20:46Speaker 1: engaging with their content, or you show up to the
- 20:48Speaker 1: event that they're doing, or you tell them congratulations.
- 20:51Speaker 3: Having a friend to an airport. Yeah, driving a friend
- 20:53Speaker 3: to the airport, helping them move.
- 20:55Speaker 1: The aim here is to do something for someone else,
- 20:58Speaker 1: and if you can't, at least try and surround yourself
- 21:03Speaker 1: with things that are bigger than you. Like, you know,
- 21:08Speaker 1: not everything has to be like altruistic and you don't
- 21:11Speaker 1: have to go and like donate to charity every single day,
- 21:14Speaker 1: but like you can do things like that, or even
- 21:17Speaker 1: just like show up for your friends or show up
- 21:19Speaker 1: for your family, like make sure that you're checking in
- 21:22Speaker 1: and like asking people how they're going, or if a
- 21:25Speaker 1: friend is sick, like offer to drop them off like
- 21:28Speaker 1: some soup or something.
- 21:28Speaker 3: Well, even if they're not sick, take your friend soup.
- 21:31Speaker 3: It's me, I'm the friend. Honestly, I would never say
- 21:35Speaker 3: nosily soup soup weather. Soup is good for the soul.
- 21:43Speaker 3: It honestly is.
- 21:44Speaker 1: But I just think that the purpose of this way
- 21:47Speaker 1: to become unrecognizable is that it can really help put
- 21:51Speaker 1: things into perspective and like help bring you out of
- 21:55Speaker 1: your own head, especially if you are finding yourself in
- 21:59Speaker 1: a position where you're like really obsessing over the things
- 22:01Speaker 1: that you're doing, and you're spiraling a little bit and
- 22:04Speaker 1: feel like you're not doing enough or that you always
- 22:06Speaker 1: need to be optimizing your life. It's like maybe becoming
- 22:10Speaker 1: unrecognizable and the better version of yourself isn't actually about you,
- 22:14Speaker 1: It's about the people around you, and like the values
- 22:17Speaker 1: that you align with.
- 22:19Speaker 3: Love that wholesome, wholesome queens.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Moving on to my neck's very wholesome tip is to
- 22:25Speaker 2: get rid of the friend that secretly hates you. Yeah,
- 22:28Speaker 2: as my headline, friendship audit friendship audits, but just like
- 22:33Speaker 2: drainers and diminishes, audit more so. Truly, if you want
- 22:38Speaker 2: to become unrecognizable by the end of the year, go
- 22:40Speaker 2: through a breakup.
- 22:42Speaker 3: That's the real glower pack. You are never hotter than
- 22:46Speaker 3: when you go through a breakup.
- 22:48Speaker 2: I have that's the hardest I've ever been in my
- 22:51Speaker 2: entire life. Seriously, I've never gone to the gym more,
- 22:54Speaker 2: I've never like worked on my actual self more, and
- 22:58Speaker 2: I've never.
- 22:58Speaker 3: Been hotter than when I'm dumped.
- 23:00Speaker 2: But you can break up with lots of people and
- 23:03Speaker 2: that's what I'm going to talk you through right now.
- 23:06Speaker 2: So basically, it's like a massive part of becoming unrecognizable
- 23:11Speaker 2: isn't adding things, but it's also deciding what you're no
- 23:15Speaker 2: longer available for.
- 23:17Speaker 3: So that's where.
- 23:18Speaker 2: We're identifying our drainers and our diminishers, because these are
- 23:22Speaker 2: the things that leave you feeling like lack.
- 23:24Speaker 3: Luster, a little bit meh, you know me. They can
- 23:29Speaker 3: be like people who make you feel stuck in the past.
- 23:32Speaker 2: Certain triggers from prior negative experiences or actions or habits
- 23:36Speaker 2: of others that don't align with your morals anymore. So
- 23:40Speaker 2: some friendships can be built on like competitiveness and jealousy
- 23:47Speaker 2: rather than mutual support and love.
- 23:50Speaker 3: Frenemies. Frenemies.
- 23:52Speaker 2: Frenemies are just the strangest thing to me true, Why
- 23:58Speaker 2: would you take, like fill up a slot in your
- 24:00Speaker 2: life which there's limited slots. There's only so many people
- 24:03Speaker 2: you can really be proper friends with due to just
- 24:07Speaker 2: like time and energy with someone that like isn't very
- 24:11Speaker 2: nice to you, or that you don't really.
- 24:12Speaker 3: Like that much, do you know what I mean? It
- 24:14Speaker 3: doesn't like you.
- 24:16Speaker 2: Like if you feel if you feel like you're taking
- 24:18Speaker 2: on the role of a savior in a new friendship
- 24:21Speaker 2: as well, Like, that's probably a warning sign, you know,
- 24:25Speaker 2: so this is unattainable for you, and it puts all
- 24:28Speaker 2: the responsibility on you to be the better person in
- 24:31Speaker 2: a friendship.
- 24:32Speaker 3: If you're kind of.
- 24:33Speaker 2: Always letting things slide with this one friend who you know,
- 24:36Speaker 2: maybe they're a little bit mean to you, or maybe
- 24:38Speaker 2: their tone is kind of a bit rude. Sometimes you're
- 24:41Speaker 2: a bit like, it's okay, it's just Jessica's just Jessica.
- 24:45Speaker 3: It's just jess Like that's just what she does.
- 24:47Speaker 1: They like make fun of you and out of their
- 24:49Speaker 1: way to like kind of embarrass.
- 24:51Speaker 3: You or battle you.
- 24:52Speaker 2: But the other thing that might be a sign that
- 24:55Speaker 2: a friend secretly hates you or is not a good
- 24:58Speaker 2: friend for you, is a friend of me if you will,
- 25:00Speaker 2: is that they're.
- 25:01Speaker 3: Always telling you who you are. They're always saying things
- 25:06Speaker 3: like that's so not you. You would hate that, since
- 25:13Speaker 3: when do you like this?
- 25:15Speaker 1: You know you'd never do that, and in a way
- 25:20Speaker 1: that's condescending. I think there could be a difference between
- 25:23Speaker 1: that and I don't know, like literally being like, oh,
- 25:27Speaker 1: you'd probably hate that movie.
- 25:29Speaker 2: These type of friends make you the villain for growing
- 25:33Speaker 2: or acting differently, or finding new passions or finding new friends.
- 25:38Speaker 2: If you have a friend that doesn't like that, you're
- 25:40Speaker 2: making friends unless these new friends are a terrible influence
- 25:44Speaker 2: and they're like, yeah, let's go rob a.
- 25:45Speaker 3: Bank or something. Yeah, and yeah, maybe.
- 25:49Speaker 2: Like the friendship hasn't always been like that. But if
- 25:51Speaker 2: there is a friend that is anchoring you, or a
- 25:55Speaker 2: relationship that is anchoring you to a past version of
- 25:59Speaker 2: yourself because that's more comfortable for them, that is an anchor,
- 26:03Speaker 2: you got a let up, cut off, get him out
- 26:07Speaker 2: of it, even just creating some space. But it kind
- 26:10Speaker 2: of when I was going down this rabbit hole, if
- 26:12Speaker 2: you will, I came across this thing which kind of
- 26:15Speaker 2: a similar kind of is not But have you heard
- 26:17Speaker 2: of the August theory.
- 26:19Speaker 3: I've heard of it, but I get confused.
- 26:22Speaker 2: Yes, every month, the March theory, there's the Updavid theory.
- 26:26Speaker 3: Now we have the August theory.
- 26:29Speaker 2: So it's basically a twenty twenty six like social media
- 26:32Speaker 2: dating trend, and it says that August is.
- 26:35Speaker 3: A relationship turning point.
- 26:37Speaker 2: It's when situationships either become more serious or they end,
- 26:41Speaker 2: or an x like will re enter the scenario, back,
- 26:47Speaker 2: get back. So the logic is that August kind of
- 26:50Speaker 2: sits at the end of you know, a loose, carefree
- 26:54Speaker 2: summer period if you're in the northern hemisphere, and it's
- 26:58Speaker 2: right before people kind of are returning to their routine,
- 27:02Speaker 2: especially for like as well Vice versa late summer.
- 27:05Speaker 3: Like you're going out, you're having.
- 27:06Speaker 2: Fun, you're getting out of hibernation that is winter, and
- 27:10Speaker 2: it's kind of this natural pressure to like reassess what
- 27:14Speaker 2: and who you want to take into the end of
- 27:16Speaker 2: the year. And experts quoted by Vice described it as
- 27:20Speaker 2: basically make or break moments, and that's what August is.
- 27:26Speaker 3: So like relationships either continue or the end.
- 27:28Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's like do you want to take this
- 27:30Speaker 1: relationship into Christmas and the New Year?
- 27:32Speaker 3: Exactly? So spoiler a lot.
- 27:36Speaker 2: There's actually no like magical force that makes this happen
- 27:39Speaker 2: in August. There is the lions Gate though in August,
- 27:44Speaker 2: which the lions Gate, it's lovely, it's a bit witchy.
- 27:50Speaker 2: I think it's the eighth of August, so it's gone
- 27:54Speaker 2: by the time this episode comes out. But we can
- 27:57Speaker 2: just maybe take that entire energy into August. But August
- 28:00Speaker 2: is like really strong for like wishing and manifestation, and
- 28:04Speaker 2: so the lions Gate is traditionally like really good for
- 28:06Speaker 2: manifesting what you want and putting good feelers out there.
- 28:10Speaker 2: The fifth of August is apparently also really good for
- 28:12Speaker 2: making wishes, which.
- 28:13Speaker 3: Both of those hast so say this episode for next year. Yeah,
- 28:17Speaker 3: they're like, you didn't do it earlier. I'm like, nah,
- 28:19Speaker 3: forgot sorry, Market and the Cow.
- 28:21Speaker 2: But there's also some psychology to why periods like August
- 28:26Speaker 2: can be so significant, and it's because researchers call them
- 28:30Speaker 2: temporal landmarks. So things like birthdays, Mondays, New Year's Day,
- 28:37Speaker 2: or the beginning of a new season naturally divide our
- 28:41Speaker 2: lives into before and afters, so they create psychological distance
- 28:46Speaker 2: between who we've been and who we want to become,
- 28:48Speaker 2: which can make it easier to start behaving differently.
- 28:51Speaker 3: And I think that's where this.
- 28:53Speaker 2: Whole idea of like August comes into it being like
- 28:56Speaker 2: five months left of the year, Who do I want
- 28:58Speaker 2: to be at the end of the year, Time to reset,
- 29:01Speaker 2: And it does have that kind of like feeling to
- 29:03Speaker 2: it that comes with a Monday, Yeah, you know, fresh
- 29:07Speaker 2: start exactly, because you don't have to wait till January
- 29:10Speaker 2: to like reinvent yourself.
- 29:11Speaker 3: You don't even have to wait till Monday.
- 29:13Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you can kind of just start uplifting
- 29:17Speaker 2: yourself whenever you want. But in order to do that,
- 29:20Speaker 2: you also can't be weighed down by things that diminish
- 29:23Speaker 2: or drain your light in that So if their relationship,
- 29:27Speaker 2: including relationships, if there's someone that makes you feel sad
- 29:30Speaker 2: or bad, like distance the shit out of that you
- 29:32Speaker 2: be like sorry, sorry, bye bye. I think that's the
- 29:35Speaker 2: thing that's so tough, because especially with those friendship Like
- 29:38Speaker 2: with friendships like that, I think a lot of the
- 29:41Speaker 2: reason that people hold on to them is because one, like,
- 29:44Speaker 2: you have history with somebody and like you probably still care,
- 29:47Speaker 2: Like you very likely still care about them even if
- 29:50Speaker 2: you have like a bit of a toxic friendship. But
- 29:53Speaker 2: also somebody who is like constantly putting you down or
- 29:58Speaker 2: like doesn't want you to grow or change and evolve
- 30:00Speaker 2: into a better version of yourself. Like maybe it's like
- 30:04Speaker 2: potentially likely to be more combative, and that can be scary,
- 30:09Speaker 2: But I think that's the thing to remind yourself that
- 30:11Speaker 2: you don't have to ease yourself out of these relationships
- 30:14Speaker 2: in a confrontation. You can set boundaries and do it
- 30:18Speaker 2: in a way that still feels like soft and safe
- 30:21Speaker 2: and gentle for you. You don't have to like go
- 30:24Speaker 2: in and be like fuck you Jessica, Like you can
- 30:27Speaker 2: just start putting up those boundaries first. Does it need
- 30:30Speaker 2: to be like a big announcement, Like you don't need
- 30:32Speaker 2: to send out a newsletter being like, by the way,
- 30:34Speaker 2: I'm not friends with Jessica anymore.
- 30:35Speaker 3: Yeah, get the town cryer. Yeah, send us to your
- 30:41Speaker 3: friends that you don't want to be friends with them.
- 30:42Speaker 3: We'll announce it on the podcast.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Yeah. It will be like remember on Saturday Disney and
- 30:47Speaker 1: they would do like the list of birthdays and you'd like,
- 30:49Speaker 1: watch out for your name.
- 30:51Speaker 3: These are the friends.
- 30:51Speaker 1: Getting dumped in today's episode.
- 30:54Speaker 3: Just check junking your friends. Yeah.
- 31:07Speaker 1: Our last way to become unrecognizable by the end of
- 31:10Speaker 1: the year is review.
- 31:12Speaker 3: Your life with the Wheel of Life Tooloo wheel of
- 31:17Speaker 3: the Wheel of something that's in like a romance book. Yeah,
- 31:22Speaker 3: the Wheel of Life tool.
- 31:23Speaker 1: I feel like this is something that could be really
- 31:25Speaker 1: useful if you're more of a visual learner or if
- 31:29Speaker 1: you're more of a visual person. That's how you like
- 31:31Speaker 1: to map out like goals and progress and like check
- 31:34Speaker 1: in with yourself.
- 31:36Speaker 3: So essentially, with the wheel.
- 31:38Speaker 1: Of life, then give your life like a pizza or
- 31:41Speaker 1: a circle.
- 31:42Speaker 3: I to go with pizza delicious.
- 31:44Speaker 1: Okay, So divide the circle into eight quadrants, and then
- 31:49Speaker 1: each quadrant will represent a different element of your life.
- 31:52Speaker 3: Okay, you obviously can pick whatever you customize your pizza.
- 31:56Speaker 2: You can be like pepperoni, pineapples, chili. We've really made
- 32:01Speaker 2: a very unique.
- 32:03Speaker 3: I feel like that's giving chef special. No, like, what's
- 32:07Speaker 3: the other one? Supreme?
- 32:09Speaker 2: Exactly, it's a supreme pezza and you are the supreme pezza.
- 32:13Speaker 3: Your life. Your life is a supreme pizza.
- 32:16Speaker 1: So yeah, obviously you can customize this to whatever your
- 32:20Speaker 1: priorities are in life. But for example, on each of
- 32:24Speaker 1: the slices, you would label it with.
- 32:25Speaker 3: Things like business and career, your physical.
- 32:28Speaker 1: Environment, your health, finances, romance, family and friends, personal growth,
- 32:33Speaker 1: fun and hobbies. Then you look at each of these
- 32:38Speaker 1: quadrants and you rate your satisfaction level with each area
- 32:42Speaker 1: of your life from one to ten. So you either
- 32:45Speaker 1: can like write one to ten or you can like
- 32:48Speaker 1: color it in a card. Yeah, and you're essentially because
- 32:53Speaker 1: I'm rather than looking at your life big picture and
- 32:55Speaker 1: trying to be like, how am I feeling right now?
- 32:59Speaker 1: Like that can be a little bit complicated because also
- 33:01Speaker 1: multiple things can be true at once. You know, like
- 33:04Speaker 1: you could have a lot of really amazing things going
- 33:07Speaker 1: on in your romantic life, but maybe work isn't so great.
- 33:11Speaker 1: And that's kind of the point of this exercise is
- 33:14Speaker 1: that it gives you a visual representation of how you're
- 33:17Speaker 1: feeling about those individual elements of your life that all
- 33:21Speaker 1: add up together into this big picture of.
- 33:24Speaker 3: Who you are.
- 33:25Speaker 1: And while there are eight different slices of this, it
- 33:29Speaker 1: doesn't mean that you have to fix all eight slices
- 33:32Speaker 1: at once. Ideally you would look at the areas of
- 33:36Speaker 1: your life that are low scoring and prioritize those as
- 33:40Speaker 1: areas to focus on because also, like you don't have
- 33:45Speaker 1: to like none of this is permanent either, Like these
- 33:48Speaker 1: things will change. And that's why I think it is
- 33:50Speaker 1: something that's good to do, you know, like once a
- 33:53Speaker 1: year or every six months, to like check in and
- 33:55Speaker 1: see how you're feeling about certain things and maybe about
- 33:59Speaker 1: how certain habits or routines that you've put in and
- 34:03Speaker 1: if they're actually helping or if you're loving.
- 34:06Speaker 2: As much effort into things in your life that you
- 34:09Speaker 2: want to be Like, yeah, does.
- 34:11Speaker 3: Where your scores on your pizza is sit?
- 34:15Speaker 2: Is that a reflection of your values or what you
- 34:17Speaker 2: want to be putting your effort into, Like should should
- 34:21Speaker 2: work be ten ten and friendship be two ten? Like
- 34:25Speaker 2: that's not actually strong? Like it's a strong pizza is
- 34:30Speaker 2: actually maybe everything's actually a seven because that's balanced, and
- 34:33Speaker 2: that's how you can actually achieve the supreme pizza.
- 34:37Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, but I do also think that it can.
- 34:41Speaker 1: It's important to remember that not every single element of
- 34:45Speaker 1: your life is going to be thriving at all times, Like.
- 34:49Speaker 3: That is quite unrealistic.
- 34:51Speaker 1: Like there's that quote in The Devil Wears Prata and
- 34:54Speaker 1: he's like, tell me, when your life goes up in flames,
- 34:57Speaker 1: it's time for a promotion.
- 34:58Speaker 3: It's like, when you're.
- 34:59Speaker 1: Doing well at work, then maybe, you know, some of
- 35:03Speaker 1: these other things in your life might fall by the wayside.
- 35:06Speaker 1: And this can be explained by something called the four burners.
- 35:10Speaker 3: Theory, which is basically like, so, like the burners on
- 35:15Speaker 3: the stove top, right, do you have a favorite one
- 35:19Speaker 3: just on the stove? Yeah, on my stove. Yeah, yeah,
- 35:23Speaker 3: which one's your favorite? The bottom right is my favorite.
- 35:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a bottom left, bottom left, and top right
- 35:31Speaker 2: that's the gombo oh, whereas.
- 35:33Speaker 3: I'm bottom right, top left. Well, look at us ying
- 35:36Speaker 3: and Yang. We perfectly slept together exactly. That's where I
- 35:39Speaker 3: cut your film exactly.
- 35:44Speaker 1: So basically, with the four burners theory, it refers to
- 35:50Speaker 1: this feeling where you want to be good at everything
- 35:53Speaker 1: and all these elements of your life and fill all
- 35:55Speaker 1: of your cups. But often being really good at one
- 35:59Speaker 1: thing means that you have to sacrifice the others. And
- 36:03Speaker 1: I don't like that. I know, but that don't like that.
- 36:05Speaker 1: That's kind of a reality of life though, Like you
- 36:07Speaker 1: can't be good at everything all the time, and that's okay,
- 36:13Speaker 1: just got ah.
- 36:14Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 36:15Speaker 1: So in this theory, for example, you have your four burners,
- 36:18Speaker 1: say you have like your health, family, social life, and
- 36:21Speaker 1: your career, and it's just about acknowledging that as people,
- 36:24Speaker 1: we only have a finite amount of resources and energy
- 36:28Speaker 1: to give to every single element of your life and.
- 36:31Speaker 3: To try and be present.
- 36:33Speaker 1: And know that if you're gonna, like if you're trying
- 36:37Speaker 1: to keep all four burners going and like bubbling at
- 36:41Speaker 1: the exact same time, it's very likely that one of
- 36:44Speaker 1: them is going to spill over and get burnt, and
- 36:46Speaker 1: you're going to get burnt.
- 36:48Speaker 3: As a result.
- 36:49Speaker 1: So instead, sometimes it's actually better to focus your energy
- 36:54Speaker 1: on like one or two burners at a time, so
- 36:58Speaker 1: you have the other ones just simmering in the back around. Yeah,
- 37:02Speaker 1: they can kind of just bubble away quietly in the
- 37:03Speaker 1: back bubble over. Yeah, And then the others is where
- 37:06Speaker 1: you're like putting your energy in. And just like with
- 37:09Speaker 1: a stovetop, you can always move things around, like.
- 37:13Speaker 2: You can move them to the top right, yeah, all
- 37:16Speaker 2: the top left, yeah. Yeah.
- 37:18Speaker 1: And I think that can help take off that pressure
- 37:22Speaker 1: and that feeling that we need to have it all.
- 37:25Speaker 1: Because as much as I do love that concept of
- 37:28Speaker 1: like you can have it all, you can have you know,
- 37:30Speaker 1: like an amazing career and social life and friendships and
- 37:33Speaker 1: you could also be going to the gym four times.
- 37:36Speaker 3: One can do that.
- 37:39Speaker 2: No one can do that unless you're literally a billionaire,
- 37:42Speaker 2: Like who can build a gym in your fucking backyard?
- 37:46Speaker 3: Yeah, and fly on a PJ to meet your friend
- 37:48Speaker 3: in MAYORCA.
- 37:49Speaker 2: Like, lower your expectations of yourself and then lower them again. Yeah,
- 37:55Speaker 2: because like we expect way too much of ourselves.
- 37:58Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think that that's why I like both
- 38:01Speaker 1: of these theories, because the wheel of life theory helps
- 38:04Speaker 1: you understand like the areas of life where you do
- 38:07Speaker 1: feel satisfied and the ones where you don't, and then
- 38:11Speaker 1: prioritize the areas where maybe you're not feeling as satisfied
- 38:14Speaker 1: and being like one does that like even align with me?
- 38:17Speaker 3: Is that something that I even want to put my
- 38:19Speaker 3: energy in? Or am I feeling dissatisfied by it? And
- 38:22Speaker 3: it actually is.
- 38:23Speaker 1: Something that I do think is important, but I just
- 38:26Speaker 1: haven't been focusing on. And is it time to like
- 38:28Speaker 1: move that pot onto the top the top right burner.
- 38:35Speaker 3: Yeah, if you will, it's a good one. I highly
- 38:37Speaker 3: recommend the top right burner.
- 38:39Speaker 2: It's a doodle be a good episode.
