• 0:47
  Speaker 2: to kick us off.

  Speaker 1: My first August favorite, drumroll please, is Sterling Point.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Oh my God.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Okay. So Sterling Point is this new teen drama, if
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: you will, rom-com drama, whatever, that's just dropped on Prime.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: And I literally am so obsessed with it.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I saw a post and.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: It was like, this is the new off-campus, blah, blah, blah,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: you're going to be just as obsessed.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I watched the first episode and I was like.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: I.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Don't know.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the correct take. And then
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I watched a second and a third episode. I'm in.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, really? I was locked in. I was so locked in.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Essentially, this show feels like The O.C.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: And Outer Banks had.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: A baby in the woods.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: What a combo. Right? It's set in this.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Beautiful forest woodland by the lake area called Stirling Point.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: And it focuses on the main character... Annie, who her
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: grandfather passes away, who she wasn't close with, but her
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: father's been keeping these letters from him her entire life
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: a secret.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: And she realizes that her grandfather owned.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: This island, Stirling Point, and he leaves her and her
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: twin brother the island. Her and her twin brother are adopted, though.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: So her parents, her dad.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: And her mom couldn't have babies.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: But her mom has died.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Sorry. That was very like, was your life traumatic? What's
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: your favorite color? Pink. Me too. Was your life traumatic?
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so that's essentially the first like 10 minutes
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: of the show.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: So in secret, she goes to Sterling Point. She doesn't
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: tell her dad.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: She goes to Sterling Point to kind of figure out
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: what's going on.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Cause she's like, why have I Why has he been
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: hiding all of these letters for all these years?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and why has he inherited this to me.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: When I'm that close with him?
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like I didn't even know that this place existed.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And so she goes to the island and she kind
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of starts meeting a couple little characters here and there.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: We meet like all of the side characters in like
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the span of maybe like 10 minutes, which is great.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Love that. Pepper in the characters for me. We're going
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to see more of them later. And then she goes
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and stays at her grandfather's cabin because she's inherited it. Mm-hmm.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: She goes back late at night and there's someone in
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the house. It's her grandfather's other granddaughter.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Ooh. So they go, she's like, who are you? So
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: her cousin? No, her sister. Whoa. Secret sister.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Whoa. Yeah.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: And so I'm going to leave it there. But basically
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: there's like also, you know, there's romance in it. There's
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: love triangles. But the main actress in it. Oh my God.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: She is so fucking talented.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: And this is the thing that I'm like, I feel
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: like I've been ranting on is like new talent, new talent.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I have not seen her in anything else before, but
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: it was so all of these people, I've never seen
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: them in any shows before. It's just so refreshing watching
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a show with new characters and new people and new talent.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: It's also an original show.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Like it's an original story and it is just so good.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: And the other thing that I, what I think just
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: makes this show work so well is it's set in
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a modern day and there's not a single fucking TikTok
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: dance in it.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Oh really? There is, it is a cell phones free show.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Do they reference phones at all?
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Like they text each other and they call each other.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Like they use their phones as we would, but it's
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: not trying to shove 2026 down your throat yeah thank
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: god and that's why it works i literally watched this
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and i was like that's it i'm moving to a

  Speaker 1: forest yeah it's so so.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: Good okay would i like it yes okay how long

  Speaker 4: are the episodes so the episodes are about 40 minutes
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: 50 minutes and how many episodes are there eight episodes
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: that's good for these days yes i would love if

• 4:57
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: There's kissing, there's plot twists, there's betrayal. All the things
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: we love. Okay.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I'll add it to the list.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: And wait, sorry, where'd you say you can watch it? Prime.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Prime.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: My first August favorite. So last week we were invited
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: to the Chemist Warehouse Showcase down in Melbourne, which is
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Really fun.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Sephora does a similar one as well.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: But for anyone who isn't across it, basically like lots
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: of different brands that are stocked at Chemist Warehouse showcase
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: their new arrivals or their hero products or upcoming launches.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: And we are lucky enough to get invited and we
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: get to go and get like a little sneak peek
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: and play with the products and whatnot. And so from that,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: my August favorite is a bunch of drugstore beauty items
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: under $ 30 that I'm.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Loving at the moment.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I will say we were invited, but this
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: isn't like a sponsored segment or anything. They're all just
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: products that I genuinely thought were cool and I thought
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: that you chicks would be interested in as well. So
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: my first one is the new Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: High Tubing Mascara.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Say that five times fast. I know.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: So the Sky High Mascara is like one of their
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: cult products, like probably one of their most popular products
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: of all time. And the mascara has gone through a
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: few different iterations. Like I think maybe last year they
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: brought out the blue and the burgundy one as well.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: And it's really popular and it is a really good mascara.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: And it's $ 29, so it sits in that range. pretty
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: affordable range, especially because it's always on sale. But they've
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: just launched a tubing version, which if you get panned
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: eyes or, you know, you get your mascara transferring or
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: going flaky, which I absolutely do, definitely try this.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: And tubing mascara is really easy to take off, isn't it?
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Is that the whole thing?
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: So basically it's like the mascara.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Forms like a waterproof, almost like casing around your eyelashes
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: so then when you're taking your mascara off it pretty
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: much just like pulls off like a little tube hence
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: the tubing of mascara so I have tried some in
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: the past that I found were quite waxy and they
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: almost like I felt like they really stuck to my
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: eyelashes I think because they have that like waterproof element
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: so I found them pretty hard to take off but
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: this one is good and it comes off easy and
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: I found that like yeah it didn't transfer throughout the
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: day and I have used other ones like the hourglass
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: one um the hourglass tubing mascara which I really like
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: but obviously that's quite expensive so I feel like this
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: is a more affordable option which is great and also
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: it's just good to see like a tubing version in
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: that iconic mascara the next The next launch that I
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: was excited about is the Rimmel Slipstick.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Yes, I loved these.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: So this is around $ 27, but it's basically a lip
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: oil cross lipstick.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Is it $ 27?
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's kind of spinny.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: All of these things that I've seen, though, because I
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: was looking on Chemist Warehouse, they were all on sale.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, true.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I think sometimes drugstore brands and affordable brands, I know
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: we don't say drugstore in Australia, it's just the easiest
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: way to- clarify where you get them from yeah um
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: like an affordable beauty brands i think they put the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: rrp the like retail price high so that they can
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: discount it as like a strategy yeah yeah because if
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: you're like it's half.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Off yeah i'm gonna get that now but it's half
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: off for like.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: The whole year i feel like that's like a technique
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: because i'm like 27 bucks i'm like that's kind of expensive.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: For lipstick yeah yeah but yeah when like drugstore lipsticks
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: yeah yeah but.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: I have seen that it has been on sale which
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: is good well that's good yeah but yeah so it's
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: like a lip oil cross lipstick and it's quite buildable
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: so it's that it has like a really beautiful sheen
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: to it um and if you want to use it
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: like on top of another lipstick or if you want
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: something that's a little bit more subtle you can do
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: that or you can build it up for it to
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: be like a more opaque, full coverage.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Kind of lipstick.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: But they also had so many beautiful shades in it.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: My favorite was Cappuccino, I think, which was like one
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: of the classic nude shades.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Was it Cappuccino Light? Yeah, Cappuccino Light. And then I
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: had Cappuccino. Yeah, and they were really beautiful. But there
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: was also like a really beautiful red that I want
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: to get. Oh, yeah. That looked really nice. Who would
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: look great in that? Maddie McRae.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: What wouldn't she look great in? Seriously.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Hate her.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Moving on to my next monthly favorite, Maddie McRae. Yeah.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Literal beautiful angel princess. That's a year-round favorite.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: But yeah, so definitely recommend that. And also because it's very,
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: very hydrating, which a lot of lip, like lipstick, products
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: can be quite.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: And you don't really know you don't normally go for
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: like a um oh no you do i'm lying i'm
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: still in our friendship of 10 years ago where you
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: would only wear like a matte lip but you wear
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: more of a because like In my brain, your character
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: wears matte lip all the time. Yeah.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: But you've started wearing more of a glossy lip, right? Yes.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: No.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: No, you're right because I always overline my lips and
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: whenever I apply lipstick, I'm always applying it over my
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: natural lip line. So I don't typically wear something that is, yeah,
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: like a glossy, like a really glossy light lipstick because
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: then I feel like you can see my natural lip
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: under it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Um, but because you can build this up and like
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: you can do multiple sort of.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: So if you want like a sheer kind of look,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: you can do that. If you want a more full
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: coverage look, you can do that. Yeah.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: And is it also, and how does it go if
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: you rub your lips a lot? Honestly, I, I.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Have yet to find a lipstick that can withhold my
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: lip rubbing.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Like there are so.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Many lipsticks that people are like, this lasts me forever.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Like I can eat, I can drink, I can kiss.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: And I'm fine. I can eat, I can drink, I
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: can kiss. Like so many people talk about that and
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: I'm like, great.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: And then I try it and after two seconds, it's
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: like a little anxious habit that I have.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I think I rub my lips together all the time.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, the jury's still out on that one. So it
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: just needs a little bit of reapplication. For me, I
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: think for your average person, it would be perfect. But
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: for me, I am cycle. No, don't say that.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: And then my last one is a skincare product, but
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: it's the... I don't know if it'll be the same one.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: We'll see. It's the Sookin Awakening Face Gel. Holy cow. Shit.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: So this is $ 25. I really enjoy Suken. I like
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: their like body range. I've used their skincare before.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Very affordable.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: I feel like it's kind of like back to the basics,
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: good skincare. But I'd never seen this before. I'm pretty
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: sure it is a new product, but I was like,
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: holy fucking shit.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Like I was so excited to get my hands on it.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: So it's essentially a face gel. That you use in
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: the morning. And it's got coffee seed to reduce puffiness,
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: guarana to boost circulation and radiance, and caffeine to brighten
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: and revitalize. But the best part is that it comes
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: in this tube with an applicator that has like four
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: silver balls in it. And then the gel comes out
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: like around those silver balls.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: And then you rub that on your face.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: It's like a massager.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: It's like a cleaning gel. massage applicator. Oh, it's the best.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: It's the beast.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: And for a morning when you're feeling puffy because I
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: think a lot of people use like those like different
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: massaging tools in the morning to de-puff and also just
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: to wake them up.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: And I'm like this is a two-in-one. A two-in-one. And
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: also I'm like imagine if you put it in the fridge.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: And how much is it?
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: $ 25.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: And I feel like that is such a good price
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: for the size of the product and also like the applicator. Yeah.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: There are some bougie brands that would be charging like
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: a fuck ton just because of that applicator.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: It's so, so good. And they also have an eye
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: version of it, right?
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's a smaller but still metal applicator,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: which I love. I've used some other.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: products like that. Like the Paula's Choice one has that
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: metal applicator as well. And again, it's just so incredibly
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: cooling to apply. And especially if you get puffy eyes,
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: which I do.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: In the morning, it's so good.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Sorry, I'm not getting that.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: I was more just like, no, no, no. I was
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: just sorry. But I'm like, God, I'm really glad we've
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: got it now.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: But can you imagine the amount of diabolical hangovers that
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: would have got us through? Yeah.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Take me back. Like the one today. If I could
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: turn back time, yeah.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Exactly. But yeah, that's it. Those are my faves. Oh,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: great picks. Okay, what's your next fave?
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, my next fave is a little hack that I've seen.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: But before I tell you the hack, I have some
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: questions for you.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, pop quiz. Pop quiz. How many times... This week,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: have you opened or used Pinterest? Maybe like four times. Wow,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: four times. That's good.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: I reckon I use it probably about four to six
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: times a week.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And what were you looking at? I was looking
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: at mainly stuff for work. So I was looking for
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: like funny reaction pics. And then I think I was
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: looking for an outfit inspiration for a concert I'm going
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: to tomorrow. Love that. What is your main gripe when
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: you're using Pinterest? The ads. Yes.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: So Pinterest closed out Q2 2026 with $ 1. 18 billion in revenue,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: up 18% year over year. Wow. They also hit a
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: record 640 million monthly users and have revealed Gen Z
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: now makes up over half of the platform, which that
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: all checks out.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: However, what was very interesting.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: to me is how much of the comments of this
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: post was Pinterest is ads only.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I need Pinterest to remove their ads. Pinterest is literally
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: AI and ads. And yeah, literally so many comments about
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: how Pinterest is just ads, ads, ads, AI, AI, AI, AI.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: So I have a hack to get rid of the ads.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: On Pinterest and it's not the one I've told you already.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: So a couple of little hacks. One, if you hide
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and you press three dots, on the images and you
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: go hide image, hide image, and you hide five or
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: more ads and then you refresh the page, all the
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: ads disappear.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: And you can get rid of all the ads on Pinterest.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: But if you put a swear word in your.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Search, no ads come up. I saw this on TikTok
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: and I was like– That makes sense. If you search
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: leopard print dress bitch– No ad.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Try it.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Try it right now. What are the search results like?
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Maybe I don't think they were affected on my endeavors.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Okay. If anything, they come off a little bit sassier. Yeah.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Let's do leather jacket.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Outfit.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Outfit. Fuck. No ads. No ads. Told you. Oh, my God.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: How good.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: I'm scrolling to see if.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And, like, all of the results are just as, like,
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: chic and Pinterest-y.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: As I would want. Oh, my God.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: That is amazing. Honestly, hats off to the person who
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: shared that. So good.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I saw it on Tikitoki. I can't remember the username.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I'll try to find it so I can make sure
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I credit them in the show notes.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: But I was like.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: What's it like being the best?
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly doing God's work. Doing God's work. Thank you
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: so much.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: And then also in settings, you can turn off AI mode.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: So that way you're getting more things. Cause also with
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: like book stuff, like I'll try to find things for
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: overlays for like book art.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: And I really, really try to prioritize like.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Non AI artwork.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Um, But fuck me, sometimes I just can't tell.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: It's really hard to tell. It's really hard to tell sometimes.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: So, like, that tool, being able to turn it off
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: is so helpful because I'm like, oh, thank goodness. Yeah,
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: and I think we've talked about this before, but, like,
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: finding inspiration to take to the hairdressers because you'll show
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: up and be like, I really want to achieve this color.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: And they're like, mama, that's AI. Like, mama. You didn't
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: even need me for the joke. No, I didn't.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: But yeah, it's like, and you can turn it off
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: by categories as well, I believe. Yeah.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Which is helpful. But yeah, that's my favorite thing. That
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: is a solid favorite. I like that. Okay. Next. Next.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Okay. My next August favorite is a couple of posts
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: that I've seen around how long it takes to become friends.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I know. I know.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: So apparently to be. Like are we friends? Well, we'll
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: find out.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Shit.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: So how long does it take to become friends? A
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: casual friend, 50 hours.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: A friend. 50.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: 50. Yeah.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: 50.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: What?
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Do we even know each other? I don't know. How
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: many days? That's two days, Alex. You're like, how many
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: years is that?
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, so a casual friend, 50 hours.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Then a friend, 90 hours. A close friend is
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: 200 plus hours. So the 200 hour plus mark is
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: where data showed people stopped describing someone as a friend
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: and started calling them a close friend.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, and interestingly... We're like really, really, really, really,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: really close. Yeah, we are as close as close can be.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: I wonder how many hours we have been friends. Spent together.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Fucking a lot.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: A lot.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: The only thing that does not exist.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Literally, you were getting out of my car this week
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: and we were saying bye and I was like, well,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: see you tomorrow.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I'll see you in eight hours. See you again. Yeah, literally.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: But yeah, what was also really interesting is that just
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: as important as the amount of time spent together.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: was the type of interaction. Huh?
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: And they were saying that repeated unstructured time together was
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: the key to solid friendships.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: So like just hanging.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Just hanging. Just hanging. Just hanging. Just hanging. It's the
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: key to a good friendship. I agree.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So in this 2018 study- they found that more
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: time hanging out together with no agenda predicted higher closeness,
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: while more time forced together, like at work or in class,
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: predicted lower closeness.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, that makes sense because when you're hanging out,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: it's a choice versus when you're at work or you're
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: at school or whatever.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: It's like, well, both of you might as well be friends.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: But I thought that was interesting in conjunction with, that
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: data around how many hours you'd spend together because maybe
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: you'd be like, oh, well, you know, we go and
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: do this gym.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Class together every week. So, like, that's enough for our friendship.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: But I was like, ooh.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Because I also saw this post from Ashy Branding and
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: she was saying that spontaneity is the new status symbol.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Ooh.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Do you know what?
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Love that.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Honestly. Love that. Love that. Throwback to our chic episode.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: I think that spontaneity is incredibly chic.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: And she quoted anthropologist Robin Dunbar said that the strongest
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: predictor of close friendships and community isn't how much you
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: like someone, but how much you saw them spontaneously, which
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: I think supports the research that we saw.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: The best hangouts, the best nights, the best moments. vibes
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: are the ones that were never planned yes the best
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: stories of being like do you remember that night we
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: tackled a crocodile in the sewer and met a drag
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: queen and worked behind a bar for an evening i
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: don't know i have transatlantic accent but like those are
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: the best.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Nights yeah and you can't plan them you can't schedule
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: them in and i think that is part of the
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: magic of like those really funny bond forming moments that
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: you have with friends and we need that more and
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: I think it was interesting in this post when she
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: was talking about spontaneity being the new luxury because so
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: many of us are really time poor now and also
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: like being spontaneous can sometimes come at a higher cost.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah and I also think like we.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Being spontaneous can also be a bit intimidating and it
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: can feel like a bit of work. Like, should we go, like,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: for example, the other week and I went down and
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: saw my friend in Melbourne and we're.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Like, should we go to a show tonight?
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Should we go?
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: And it's like, oh, do they have tickets? Like, normally
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: it'd be like, oh, like, do we got to buy
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: the tickets? Where would we go for dinner?
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: And like, you just start being an old boring bitch.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: But it was like, yeah, let's go.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: And it was just so fun because it's like, it
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: wasn't like it was planned six months in advance that
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: we'll go, I'll fly down to Melbourne.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: We'll go see Sixth Musical, blah, blah, blah.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I think I booked tickets that week on the Wednesday,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: literally went down, saw a musical.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: We just hung out and it was so fun. Yeah.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: And we need to do more of it.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: And researchers found that Gen Z are impulsively socializing less
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: than previous generations. Mm-hmm. Because for them, spontaneity is financially
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: and socially expensive.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: Like the idea of somebody, like a friend, like knocking
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: on your door and being like, hey, like I was
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: in the neighborhood.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Can I come in? Like, let's, you know, I brought
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: your coffee. That's what I'm saying. You would hate that.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: I would hate that personally.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: You would hate that.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: If I knocked on your door, I know exactly what
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: your face would look like.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: You'd be like. But that's what I mean. I'm like,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: maybe that's a problem.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: Like maybe we need to break against that feeling of
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: being uncomfortable and, or even just like the idea of
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: somebody messaging me being like, Hey, do you want to.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Go out tonight?
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I would be like, Oh my God, I haven't had
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: five to seven business days.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: To process this. But also it's like, what's the worst
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: that could happen for me personally, if I do that?
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: That's why I feel.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Like we're good for each other because I feel like
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: you're a planned person, which I need, and I'm quite like,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: fuck it.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Let's do this.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Why don't we go do that?
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Let's fly to Antarctica tomorrow. But I think that's also
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: good in friendships to have that balance. Not everything can
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: be spontaneous as well. All good things come in moderation.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: So wise.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: I'm an old man.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: I'm so old. Wow.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: No, but I think that that is definitely a good point.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: But yeah, not enough of us embrace or accept spontaneity.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: And especially in friendships, then it becomes so dependent on
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: scheduled contact and calendars and booking things in.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: And that can be really hard to do.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: It's like you're constantly trying to find the time to
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: fit in your friends instead of like maybe the reverse.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: And even just being like, hey, I'm free now. What
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: are you doing?
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: I think both have like a good strong place.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good strong place.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: Good strong place.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Well, speaking of spontaneity, that kind of is on a
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: similar van to My Last Favourite.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: And it is to do a book crawl.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Ooh.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: So you could do this with anything.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: But the other week, I'd had just a bit of
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: a week, and I'd just been a bit of a
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: mopey bitch. And my boyfriend, literally the epitome of if
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: you wanted to, he would, planned a secondhand book crawl
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: for me.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: And we basically... planned.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: All these little spots that had all these shops and
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: a walk that were all these secondhand bookstores to go
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: to like the markets two secondhand bookstores then we went
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: to a different suburb got lunch and then went to
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: two more secondhand bookstores yeah and it was just the
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: best day ever but we ended up making like a
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: book crawl challenge oh what was the challenge so You
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: had to find certain types of books and you got points.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Fun. But you had to still like the books.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: And want to read the books because otherwise you're just
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: buying books for the sake of buying books.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: And they'll just sit on a fucking shelf. Yeah.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: So for five points, a book that you already wanted
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: to read, a book you think the other person would like.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Ten points was a special edition or it had a
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: library stamp in it or a school stamp in it.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Cute.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Then for 20 points, it was annotated. For 25 points,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: it was signed by the author within the last 10 years.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: But then for 50 points, it was signed by the
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: author in over 10 years.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, cool.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: And then Rob found a fucking book that was from
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: 1938 and it was signed by the author.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: And I was like, no way. But it was so cool. Oh,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: and the other one was like first editions. But you
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: can basically make it up to be whatever you want.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: But if you're in Sydney, it was like, So easy
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: doing it. We did it around Glebe and then Newtown
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: and I can put like a list of the shops
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: that we went to if you're in Sydney.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: But you could very easily do it wherever you live.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: And it was just the funnest Saturday I've had in
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: like such a long time because it was just such
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: a different thing to do and it was very being a.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Tourist in my own city.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: It very much felt like that and it was such a.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: Intentional day of fun.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: And that's why it's my favorite of the month that
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I know that like, yeah, sure. Maybe not everyone wants
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: to go do a secondhand book crawl, but it was
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: about planning some intentional day on your Saturday and that
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: is just for.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: A fun activity.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And, you know, that wasn't around going into the pub,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: which love that too.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: You can finish there if you want.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Start there, finish there, pub crawl.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: But it was just such a fun day and we
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: just ended up with all these books. We saw a
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: cat in one.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Of the bookstores. Was that in Urchin's bookstore? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: And, yeah, it was just such a nice intentional day that,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Like we need to do that with our weekends a
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: little bit more because as well, we end up fucking
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: breaking our back Monday to Friday. That's Saturday and Sunday.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, yeah, I just want to lay down.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Close the blinds.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: I want to lay down, which fair and has its
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: time and place.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: But.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just the best and I had such
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: a nice day and it was such a nice thing
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: to do like with him as well.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so cute.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: Like what a wholesome activity, also relatively low cost.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Shopping at secondhand bookstores. Seriously, all the books were
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: like $ 4. Yeah. It was so cheap, so affordable. Yeah. No,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Also, secondhand bookstores are the best for really beautiful coffee
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: table books.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: Like coffee table books are so fucking expensive, but we
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: love them.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Well, I know I do. And so I often try
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: and get mine from secondhand ones.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it was so cool.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Aw, I loved that. Very cutie.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: My last favorite. Hit me. Hit me. My last favorite
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: is a new documentary.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: And it's the Travis Barker Louder Than Fear documentary that
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: just dropped on Disney +.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Have you seen this?
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Nope. So.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dropped like last week.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: But for anybody who doesn't know, Travis Barker is the
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: drummer from Blink-182. He's also married to Kourtney Kardashian. And,
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: you know, like he's a very famous individual. He's been
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: in like pop culture for.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: The last 30 years or something.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of people know him, but he
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: does have a lot of mystery around him.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Does he?
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's not like the loudest person in the room.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: If you go to a Blink-182 show, it's like Mark
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: and Tom talking absolute shit the whole show, which is
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: the best.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: But then Travis does not say a word basically at
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: all during the show. But he has a really interesting story.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: And what I enjoyed about the documentary, I am a
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: fan of the band, so I do think that I have.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: A bias there.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: But I do think it would be interesting for a
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: lot of people to to watch because they filmed the
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: documentary over like 10 years.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: So there was footage from, I think they started filming
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: in 2017.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: Which is also fascinating because I was like, ooh, like
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: seeing him even like pre-Kourtney Kardashian.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Pre-Kardashian. And how much he's changed even since then.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: But.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: He, like, grew up in America, not very well off and,
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: you know, started off when he was in his 20s as, like,
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: a garbage man and was really, really determined to join
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: a band and become successful in music. And he's, like,
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: one of the most successful people in music today. And
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: so it was really interesting even just from that, like,
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: the Rags to Riches story is always fascinating. But he
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: was also in a plane crash in 2008.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Have you heard of this? Yes, I do know about this.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and he was– he was getting in like a
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: private jet and yeah, they had this horrible plane crash.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: And I think it was.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: Four of his close friends, including like his assistant and bodyguard,
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: but people that he'd worked with and been friends with for,
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: you know, a decade or more all died. And then
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: him and one other person on the plane survived. And
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: as a result of that, he had like a lot
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: of post-traumatic stress from.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: That and had a lot of trauma from, that whole experience.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: And, you know, like he thought at one point he'd
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: never be able to drum again, let alone like walk
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: again or, and then all the, all of the survivor's
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: guilt that he had around that, like losing his friends.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: And he's like, why am I still here? And then
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: he also had a lot of addiction issues.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Prior to that too.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: So it's, it's an interesting story that I think a
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: lot of people would think that it's like sex, drugs,
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: rock and roll, but really it's a story about perseverance
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: and sobriety and and going through trauma and like he
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: thought that he would never get on a plane ever
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: again like I remember for a while there whenever Blink
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: would come down they like he was never there they'd
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: always have to have like a different touring drummer because
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: when he was touring to places in Europe he would
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: go on a 10-day cruise to get to the places
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: because he just like.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't even fathom getting on a plane which like Which
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: is so understandable.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and so it was interesting when he was talking
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: about that as well because Kourtney Kardashian is actually a
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: huge reason why he was able to get over that
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: and get on a plane again. And they even spoke
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: about their issues with fertility. And I didn't realize this,
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: but Kourtney Kardashian had had a miscarriage with him. I
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: think maybe six months into their relationship, they lost a baby.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: which I don't know if that was, had been made
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: public prior to the documentary. Um, but like that was
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: really eyeopening as well. And like seeing how they obviously
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: connected even further based on like that, um, shared trauma
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: that they had together. And, you know, like, I think
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: a lot of people were really excited when they announced
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: that they were having a baby a few years ago,
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: but then learning that too, I'm like, that's just so nice.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Like that all of the, issues that they both have
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: and then they found each other.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of people find them very divisive
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: as a couple, which I understand if, you know, PDA
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: isn't your cup of tea. But I think, yeah, watching
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: that kind of showed me that other side of their
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: relationship and I just thought it was really interesting. Includes
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: like a lot of cool interviews from obviously the other
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: members of Blink, but also then like a bunch of
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: other iconic drummers throughout history, which was really cool as well.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: And it's only like 90 minutes too. Yeah, it sounds incredible. Yeah,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: definitely recommend. Put on the watch list for the weekend. Yes, yes. Oh, well.
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: I think that's a wrap for our August favourites. As always,
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: let us know what you chicks have been enjoying this month.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: We always love to get another wreck. And thanks for
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: having us in your ear holes.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: We love to be here.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: Bye. Bye. Bye.
