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