• 1:35
  Speaker 4: I have a fucking do.
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: What is it bad?
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: My phone didn't work this weekend because I would have
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: told you about it already, but I'm glad I kept
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: it under racts. So I was at my boyfriend's parents'
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: house this weekend and we stayed over, and they just
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: are like the most wonderful, wholesome family ever.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: Like it's just they all love each other and hang
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: out and I love it.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: I'm like I'm part of it too.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Anyway, we went out that night with some of my
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: partner's mates, and so the next morning everyone was kind
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: of like, like, ROB was a bit sleepy and they're
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: kind of like a sleeping family, and I need to
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: go to the bathroom. I was like, oh, I think
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I've got my period. So I went to the bathroom
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: and like the first day of my period is like omageddon.
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: Yes, She's like, yeah.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: The road, I swear I have like fifty percent of
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: my period in the first day. And in the next
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: four days it's just like so and I'm like, just
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: fuck off. And then I just gas light her into
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: leave and she's like, oh okay, but anyway, so I
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: was like Jesus Christ, and I've cleaned myself up and
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I've done it all and I have to use I
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: end up using like a whole bloody roller toilet paper.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: That's an embellishment, but you know what I mean. And
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: then I flashed the toilets out. I flashed the toilet, Maddie.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I guess what doesn't flush the toilet. I've blocked the
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: toy toilet at my boyfriend's parents' house with blood. With
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: blood I would have rather ship because then I could
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: have blamed it on Rob. But it looks like I
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: have done a Satanic ritual in this toilet.
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: It's murderer on the pilet.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: And I'm looking and I was like and it just
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: kept rising, and I was like, I have a shower.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: I break down.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: I'll let it, I'll let it go down, and I'll
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: have a showers and you come in.
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: The water will break down the exact paper right exactly, exactly.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: No, No.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: I was in the shower like half and now Rob
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: was like, what are you doing?
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: I was shop, what did you do?
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: I had to call in him and I was like, I.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Feel it's bad.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: Period is less embarrassing than a big ship, though I agree.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day, the toilet bowl is
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: at the rim and it's a household of suns, three boys,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: a dad, and the mum was at a girl's week
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: end away.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: It was all boiling.
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: Your way to test if they're feminists.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: Or yeah, but it ends up.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Rob was like, I was like, you have to say
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: it was you, And.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: He was like, how could it not be any say
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: you had a.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Beetroot juice or something like.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: I was like, you have to say it was you
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: because I'm dying. And I was like, I don't care.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: I had like a noseblade and you chuck the toilet paper.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, toilet. But then I started panicking.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I was like, they're going to think I put a
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: tampon down the toilet and I didn't.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: I have a life hack on how to flush. What's
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: the word clogged? Toilet. Oh yeah, you just need like
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: a bucket of water. So you could have filled up
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: that bucket in the shower if you had a bucket.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: What do you mean that bucket and you just you
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: just have to pour like a large amount of water
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: in a fast so if the f because the flush
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: isn't fast enough. But that's all it is, right, It's
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: just a large amount of water dumping it onto the
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: contents which flushes it over the you bend. You just
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: have to pour a bucket of water in there.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: So it just needs something to like a wave.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: That would have been nice on Saturday.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: Morning if he had a bottle of water, like a
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: frank green bottle. Take off the lidi, no, because the
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: force of it pushes it under the spend. So that's
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: life lesson for your chicks.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: The next time I block my boyfriend's parents.
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: Toilet, that's a sligh way to test.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: It's the second time I toilet period. That's just been
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: a human I just think maybe I've been a bit
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: excessive with the toilet paper situation.
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: Also, like do the courtesy flush, like if whether it's
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: your period or like you're going downtown releasing the devils
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: just like flush halfway through, so you're not like feeling
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: people do that.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't, but I know that people do.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the courtesy flush Yeah, okay, I've learned a lot.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good one for like public toilets.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: The life lesson here is have a boyfriend that'll take
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the fall for you.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and if they won't, jumps them.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: And the bucket tricky.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: There's like three life lessons in that.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Are we done?
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: That is an episode.
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: Actually, bye, we did say for a shitty day.
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: Oh well time. I love that.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: Great works out Getty Race. Okay.
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: My life lesson is boring, And it's just a reminder
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: to actually look at your bills when they're coming through,
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: especially for like those recurring payments like your electricity and
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: gas and stuff that sort of just like comes out
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: in the background, at least for me it does. And
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: they had been overcharging a ship time, much like hundreds
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: of dollars for a quarter, and Chris and I were like,
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: what because we knew that our rates had gone up.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: Do you remember you.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Told me what your electricity sally, what have you been doing?
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Oh that's like no, believe that's correct.
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: But it had gone up even more and then more again,
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: and I was like, there's no way, and.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Then so Chris called them.
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: They're like, oh, yeah, sorry, we've been overcharging you.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: What the final bill was that you were like something?
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: It was nine hundred dollars three months.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, nine hundred dollars.
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: So we now have an eight hundred dollars credit on
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: our And if.
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: You had called that out, would they have said no way?
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Oh my god?

  Speaker 3: Like, oh sorry, like they don't really give a fuck.

• 9:39
  Speaker 6: But yeah, that was that's who. Yeah, I meeting lots
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: of celebrities. It's star struck. Yeah, it's been wilds, just
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: a bunch of like celeb and I met Chris Emsworth
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: and you Tailor Joy. It's just been like a couple
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: of months of meeting celebs.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: I don't have jobs like a celeb hunter, apparently I'm not.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: It's going to be like a TikTok correspondent to meet
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: all the celebrities. It's wild. It's foulating you because.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: You've been on a journey in terms of your career,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: because you've been pursuing acting, which I can imagine would
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: have a lot of highs and lows in acting, mostly lows.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Well, talk us through it. What's the lows with that?
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, in terms of being an actor, you're
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: just like auditioning constantly with a whole lot of rejection
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: and then they never tell you why. And like for me,
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: as an actor in Australia, in a very small industry
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: with not a lot of roles for women, I don't
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: even get into the room. I don't even get the audition,
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: so I'm getting rejected before I even get to try.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: So it's been it's been like a really hard kind
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: of journey. And this year it's kind of shifted for
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: me in terms of like what I want for my
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: career because I do have this platform now, which kind
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: of happened by accident in the last two years. So
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: I'm like, I think I'm just gonna walk through that
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: door and see which doors open in the hallway because
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: I've been acting for so long and it's just so
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: disappointing to just get rejection with no no reason why.
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: It's like, well, to help me, how can I fix
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: myself to no feedback? Like how can I you know,
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: so I'm not I'm ready to just like let the
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: hallway go wherever it's going.
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and like why shut the door on opportunities that
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: are presenting themselves exactly just because they weren't on your
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: vision board initially?
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Yes, like life will find a way.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: How do you go through the process of like leaning
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: away from something that you've been pursuing for a really
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: long time without finding that as a failure because it's not.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: It was heartbreaking. Yeah, and a lot of people in
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: my life who were not creative couldn't understand why it
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: was because I've been trying to be an actor for
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: ten years, Like I started studying when I was twenty
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: one and I turned thirty one next month, and it
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: was just kind of like, I've been at this for
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: so long, and it's not like I'm giving up on
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: a dream, but it's like allowing the dream to shift
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: and change, evolve and evolve. And I think that like
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: when you've had your like your vision board on something
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: so strong for so long, it's really hard to let go.
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: And so in the beginning it was really heartbreaking. But
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: now it's been really exciting because it's like I know
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: that there's these opportunities available for me, but I don't
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: know what they are yet, and I'm so excited to
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: discover and to say yes to things because I have
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: definitely said no to things to be like, no, I
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: want to be taken seriously as an actor, so I
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: can't say yes to this. I can't say yes to this.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: But now I'm just like, yeah, I'll say yes to
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: all of it. I will fly to LA for two
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: days time and meet Glenn Powell and the cast of
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: Twisters and interview them like, Wow, what an amazing opportunity.
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: So I'm like, I've been so lucky to have this
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: kind of like new career journey on social So I
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: mean not new, I've been doing it for two years,
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: but to actually like really lean into it has been
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: really exciting. Dreams can change and that's okay, you know.
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: So it's been Yeah, a little heartbreaking but mostly mostly great.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think is it can be difficult looking at
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: all the work that you've put into it, yeah, being
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: like does that make it for nothing? But it doesn't
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: because if you didn't put all that work.
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: I wouldn't be exactly it is. I am still using it,
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: It's just in a different way, exactly.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: I love that.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: And dealing with the rejection that you had to deal
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: with as part of, you know, the industry you were
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: going in. I can imagine that would lead to some
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: pretty shitty days.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: I'll see where I'm going with, see where I'm going with.
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, So how would you turn around? Like, what's one
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: way that you would turn around that shitty day? Let's
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: say that you just got a rejection, Yeah, how would
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: you go about that.
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: I mean, I definitely have a good cry, and I
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: think that that's okay. Like one of my favorite things
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: to do is to run a hot shower and like
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: play a really good playlist of like sad songs that
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: I can belt and cry to because sometimes sitting in
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: it actually helps because then afterwards you can laugh, you know,
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: and you have a good sleep when you have a
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: good cry as well.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: So it's on the playlist.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: I think a bit of like Adele definitely, I feel
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: like Paloma faith is. Do you know that song only
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: Love Can Hurt like this? See that one is such
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: a good song to scream cry to in the shower.
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: So stuff like that, like actually sitting in it and
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: having a good bed rot when you're having a bad day.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: In terms of like positive things, I mean that's not
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: not a positive but like you know, going for a
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: walk for your mental health, seeing a friend and having
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: a chat, maybe having a wank, you know.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Always good.
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I realized I filmed something the other day and I
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: was making my bed and I did a you and
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: my toy was still in the bed.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I live with mine, my pillow. I can't anymore
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: because I have a dog who will find So now
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: it sits in the drawer, it's moved. I've grown up.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: But I think that's a good point in terms of,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: you know, looking at what's happened that day and not
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: not necessarily sitting in it entirely, but giving yourself the
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: moment to like feel it, because if you don't sit
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: and have the cry or have the shower or maybe
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: like sometimes what I do is I'll put on like
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: a comfort show that I've watched a lot that I
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: don't really need to watch it that I can think
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: and digest my emotions, but I'm not going full throttle
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: into the fields that i can sit there and have
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a comfort through it.
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it gives you that little bit of structure and
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: routine and repetitiveness and comfort. But then also in the
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: back of your mind you can still have these conversations
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: with yourself, so you're not completely sedating yourself and bottling
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: up the emotionans.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: It's kind of like half half approach definitely.
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: Which I think I love to do, like a physical
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: reset and refresh on the day. So for me, I
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: love to like close all of the tabs on my
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: laptop and be like.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: The day it's over, like clean slate. If the tabs
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: need to come back to me, they will find their way.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: I love doing that.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I do that, dude.
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Like put my phone on do not disturb. But
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: then I'll have a shower. I have like the full
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: what's it called again, the everything shower everything shower, wash
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: my hair, get into like fresh clean pajamas, change the sheets,
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: actually take time to do like a proper skincare routine,
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: not just like my everyday one, like sit down and.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Put like the lace ones one hundred and twenty steps exactly.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I like the led mask, like do a facial like
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: all of that stuff that's very intentional and being like no,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: like that day is done, I'm pressing reset and we're
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: starting fresh and like doing very intentional physical things that
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: aren't just in my mind. Because I feel like that
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: translates across to me emotionally and mentally.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: I feel like I can be like okay.
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: Like I can sort of like wash my hands of
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: this day.
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, And it also shows me that like it's so
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: easy to do that, Like all of these things are
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: at my disposal and I can do them in my
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: own house, and it takes me like half an hour
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: to do that, and already I feel so much better
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: and have some control I think over the day.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like the key thing across like what
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: we've all said is like having a clear physical reset
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: to the day, like within the day, whether that's having
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: a shower, whether that's you know, doing a step, closing
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: all the tabs and having a clear reset. One thing
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I like to do is I like to actually leave
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: the house. And it's like because as well, especially if
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: you're working from home, a lot of life lack bleeds
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: into everything, even if it's not work related, like if
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: it's you know, friendship related, everything's on social media, if
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: it's work related, it tends.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: To follow you home.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: That Like, you know, technology gives us so many opportunities,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: but it also like makes everything bleed into everything that
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: it's really hard to have that distinguisher.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: Whereas when I was working.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: In an office full time, I'd have a bad day,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: but at five point thirty when I get to leave
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: and walk home, and like everything in my brain's romanticized
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: because I hate living in reality, and i'd be like
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: on the bus and on the train looking at the window,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I'd be like, I mean anything, but having that clear
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: reset whatever that is for you. That doesn't need to
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: cost you money. It's just okay, that's done. And you
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: can do that at like ten am in the morning.
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, leave the house, leave it behind. Yeah.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Well I mean not everyone can just like leave probably
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: work at ten am, but like go for a walk,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: grab a coffee.
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: But that's the thing. It's like finding the thing that.
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: Works for you.
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: Like, if you can't get up and leave your job,
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: maybe it's a matter of like opening up your notebook
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: and writing down whatever is pissing you off, ripping it out,
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: scrunching it up, throwing it in the bin and bad.
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: And that's what it sound. I used to do when
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: someone would piss us off.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: And this is this was only when they like really
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: really okay.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: So when we wanted someone out of our lives.
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: This is feeling.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Very witchy, okay. So basically what we would do is
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: you write down their names favor and then you get
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: like a ziplock bag and you feel a ziplock bag
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: with a little bit of water, and then you put
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: the name in the water in the zip hop bag,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: and then you put in the freezer and you freeze them.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: Oh oh, my god, you're physically freezing them out. Yeah.
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: My mum taught me that when I was like in
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: primary school and it helps.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, wow, that is very witchy.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you have to do it with like good intentions.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: It can't be that like you wish any ill will.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: No holds the bag.
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: It's just like you just want them out of your life.
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: I don't want anything bad to happen to them.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: You just want them.
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: Out of your life, out of mind.
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and like even if it doesn't work and it's
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: just a placebo again, it's all about like having some
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: semblance of control and being.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Like, well, I put a curse on you, so no.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: You know, when I was like sixteen, I tried to
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: do a love spell on who someone at at work,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: but then I like got the eats.
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: It was really dumb.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: Love spell you had, I'm trying to remember it.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: You wrote down their name and then you had to
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: like fold it a certain amount of times.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Probably like seven or something.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was like three.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Or seven number like that, and then you had to
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: like kiss it in red lipstick, and.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: Then you had to burn it with a red candle.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: I'm going to do this.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: We'll get into the dating series waiting.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: Let me segue.
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: Wait, I have one more tip about how to get
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: yourself out of a shitty day. You haven't mentioned. Listen
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: to a good podcast Guys Two Broke Chicks. Yes, sometimes funny,
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: always awkward. I come here for the Yeah.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: On that note, it's like with podcasts as well.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: There's this one that I listened to and they just
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: like talk about movies that I watched like growing up,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: and it's but.

  Speaker 4: It's Britney Spears. You would have seen them.
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: On and Brain with an E b are e T

  Speaker 6: T and yeah, but that's clever.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: They're fabulous creator and they just feel like the funniest person.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: And it's like one of those because I think, as well,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: we need to find the time for self betterment and
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: then we need to find the time.
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: To just exist just a brain rot brain.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: It's just it can be a bit hard.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Like I've found recently that with podcasts as well, that
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: like a lot of the podcasts I do listen to
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: have are always like, you know, about motivation, motivation and
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: doing better in career, your own productivity. And then recently
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: I've just been a bit like.
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I just want to not really think.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: You need to find the things that are just there

• 22:00
  Speaker 2: And then we started dating and then he gave me
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: glandular fever.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: Was really annoyed about it, so I dumped.
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: Him red flag.
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: I was like fifteen, by the way, being like some
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: witchcraft something backfired.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: And then the universe was like, no, it's giving the
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: fact that we were fifteen years old and everyone hooked
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: up with each other.
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: At because of it.
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: Is this episode not actually the Practical Magic remake. You know.
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: It was so good as well because I had to
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: sit in the doctors with my dad and they were like,
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: they will give me the blood desk back, and he's like, yeah,
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: you've got glandula fever also known as the kissing disease.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: And I was like, you knew exactly what you were doing.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so much rounded you might as well have showed
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: up with a hickey.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: So, speaking of the kissing disease, there it comes.
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: You've recently launched a new dating series. Use about it please.
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: I've decided that I'm on the Bachelorette, except that I
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: make my own edits.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: Are you giving yourself the villain?
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: I get the good edit? Of course, the princess the
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: Princess edit. I've started a dating series because I've been
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: single for almost four years now, and I make comedy
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: content and I wanted to kind of like make some
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: more lifestyle content. But that wasn't just to get ready
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: with me or like a come on this blog. I
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: was like, what can I share that people would be
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: interested in that I would be interested in making? And
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: I was like, I have to share my dating life.
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: But it's also been a really great way to actually
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: force me to go on dates because I haven't been.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: I've been really bad at it. It's like I really
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: want to meet someone, but I work from home and
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: I never leave my house, So like, when's that going
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: to happen. I'm not going to meet someone out in
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: the wild the postman, yeah, or like the people that
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: I meet on my walks, which are like just other
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: women my age, do you know what I mean? So
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: it's just like I'm not going to meet someone if
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: I just never leave my house. I was like this,
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: I like, I regret starting it, but I also don't
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: because I've started it and it's had a really positive response.
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: But it's made me have to go on dates because
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: I have a new account of it's keeping me accountable
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: and so I'm having to like actually get out of
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: my comfort zone and go on them. But it's been
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: really fun. I've posted five dates so far, and it's
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: not they're not first date. So some of these are multiple.
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: So I've gone on like multiple dates with people. I
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: am actually currently up to date ten. I just haven't
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: posted it. Why Well, because I've I feel like we're
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: maybe kind of seeing each other, but it's like more
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: like it's situationally.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: It's wait, so is this dates five to ten like
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: you've been dated this past?
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: Okay?
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: No?
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: For date five, date five is one person that I've posted,
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: six and seven is one person, eight is another person,
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: and then nine and ten is this guy that I'm
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: still seeing. I was literally at his house last night.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I like want to get into that, but
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I want to take it back to like date number one. Yeah,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: and out of dates one to ten, has there been
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: one that's been absolutely dismal that you yes? What the fuck?
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: Okay? Yes, So I haven't posted it yet, this will
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: be date eight. If you're keeping tabs on check it out.
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: I went on this date with a guy. We were
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: there for like an hour maybe, and it was a
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: day drinking date on a on a weekend, so we
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: met it like three or something. When we finished the date,
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: I cut it short. The only thing he could tell
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: me about me was my name. That's it.
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: So we just talked the whole time.
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: He talks the whole time. And you know, when you're
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: having a conversation with someone, you input without them asking.
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: You're like, oh, that reminds me of this, so then
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: you'll put something in, and that's how a conversation works.
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: He would pause to let me say my bit and
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: then would go back to his story as if I'd
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: interrupted him.
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: I think I've done that, but you still are a
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: good conversationalist, Like it always come back right.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: But if I'm mid story and it's a really good story,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yep, I wasn't done yet.
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: But then you come and then you come back to it,
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: like I could tell you like where he grew up,
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: how many siblings he had, what his career goals were,
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: Like I'm not an extra and ask him all these
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: questions and maybe like ten minutes in like of me
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: trying to contribute to the conversation, I was like, I'm
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: going to test him and just not actually contribute and
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: see if he asks me back.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, it's fun.
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: No. He doesn't even know what I do for work,
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: he doesn't know anything about me. He knows my name
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: is Maddie, he knows what's on.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Me, and ask his single question what No.
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: And so then after an hour, I was like, this
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: has been nice.
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: I'm going to leave for an hour.
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: That's yours?
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: So nice.
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: I just finished the drink that I had fair Yeah,
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: so that's get that in there. But I'm also I
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: think the reason I didn't end it earlier than an
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: hour is because I also am still a bit of
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: a people pleaser, and so like I couldn't just be
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: like this is fuck. I couldn't call him out. I
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: would love to have called him out and been like
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: this is fuck. Are you going to ask me a question?
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: I'm going to leave. So I stayed there for what
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: I thought was a reasonable amount of time for a
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: first date. And then when I'm going to go, you know,
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: I'm going to go take my dog for a walk
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: before it gets dark. So this was really lovely. And
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: then he never texted me. I never texted him, so
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: see you later.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: I wasn't meant to be.
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: I feel like you have to stick it out a
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: little bit as well for the sake of the content.
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: Maybe, like sometimes when I'm not feeling like going on
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: a date at all, Like sometimes I would call it
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: and I'm like, oh god, ah, gotta make the video.
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: You know, yeah, I guess, And I'm excited to post
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: that because I feel like it's relatable, but it's also
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: like what a dud date.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: That's what I've really enjoyed with this series is I
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: feel like you're really.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: Tapping into the relatableness.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: I started strong with my journalism and then I take.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: But like it's really relatable in the way that you're
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: showing both the highs and the lows in terms of
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: like people will get really invested and they'll be like,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: oh my god, I'm so excited for you, and then
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: you're like, okay, guys, I'm sorry, got bad news.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: It didn't work out.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: And I feel like that's like definitely this thing that
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: especially like obviously in a relationship now.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: But it was similar to you we single for like
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: three years.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: That it can be really really hard navigating the dating
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: world because you get your hopes up.
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: And then they'll drop off. And you know, I'm sure
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: that you've experienced that as well.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: So how do you kind of pick yourself up and
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: dust yourself off and make yourself feel better after a
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: shitty date?
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: Just like start a dating series that forces you. And
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: I mean like, I've had those moments I've had, Like
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: I literally have video content of me last year crying
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: because a guy canceled on me for the third time
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: and I'd never met him, but it was more so
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: like that repetitiveness of always being left on red or ghosted,
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: and I was like, what am I doing wrong? I
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: just feel like, I mean, I will get to the
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: like making yourself feel better in a second, but I
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: just feel like dating app culture is like it's changed
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: the nature of dating because there's so much choice available
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: and I feel like even I'm guilty of it. It's
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: like I'm liking these people and I'm contacting them, but
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: I have other options.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: It's a game of hot on all.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: It's fucked Like it's literally a game that people are
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: playing on their phone.
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: It's not people behind a screen, and.
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: Is it like, am I going to get a better offer? So, like,
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to invest in you just in case
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: someone better comes along.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: There's a backup. There's a world of thousands.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: And hundreds and millions and jillions of backup.
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: There's no accountability. It's not like they have to give
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: me a reason why they can just unmatch with me
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: and then I would never find a way to contact them.
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: Like it's just that. Yeah, it's really crazy, and it
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: has been disheartening in the past. And last year I
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: had a really bad year of dating and it was awful.
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: It was just really sad.
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: I remember we were talking about it.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: Yes, but I think going on more dates has made me.
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: I think forcing myself to just go on more has
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: made me more confident with it. And it really is yeah,
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: and it actually has made me have more fun. It's
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: made me set better boundaries for myself as well. Like
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: I mean an hour, I still committed to but I
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: think the last year I probably would have stayed for
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: longer just to be a people pleaser. But I was like, no,
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: I'm going to call this and end it here and
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to talk to him and.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Do you think it's been going on the dates that
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: has given you those boundaries and forced you.
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: To Yeah, because I think it's just like really boosted
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: my confidence. And it's just like, although it is a game,
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: you just got to play it, you know, put that
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: shit on a show.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: So how do you come back from feeling really shitty
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: after a date?
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: I mean, I always feel better the next day after everything,
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: you know, so like having i mean like not writing
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: off the day and like it's good that a date
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: is at the end of the day because you close
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: to bedtime, but I always feel better. I always tell
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: myself that the next morning, I'm going to feel better.
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: But also just having a good like rant to a
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: friend on the phone is the best way. And now
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: I'm kind of doing it to you know, my audience
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: as well. We have a little debrief at the end
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: of the video, but like calling a good friend and
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: just being like, let me tell you about this fuck
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: date or this fuck thing that's happened. My other single
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: friends as well, like because they're kind of going through it.
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: We're in the trenches together, so that's been really helpful
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: to get me out of it. But mostly, yeah, I
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: just have an awarank and a sleep and then I'm
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: good the next morning.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know there's literally.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Well like probably not many of them could do it anyway,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: but I feel like that's the biggest, Like I know,
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: the whole thing is like turning around a shitty day,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: but I do think that is the fail safe that
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: you have that like, whatever you're going through, whatever emotion
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: is weighing you down, sleeping it off is literally the cure.
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: All you will be fine. You know, in a week's time,
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: you won't even remember what their name was. You know,
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: you to be a funny story. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: all about perspective. Doing it for the plot, yeah, doing
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: it for the And I.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Do think like whatever time of the day it is,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: whether it's a shitty day, whether it's a bad day
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: at work, relying on other people to pick you up
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: when you can't pick yourself up is going to be
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: one of the best things you can learn to do.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: It is a bit hard though, to get past, like
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: the mental.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: Barrier of being like I don't want to be annoying.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I don't want to pest my friends, but like you said,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: like we're all in the trenches together.
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: Whatever that is, because like if they're going to pick
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: you up this time, you know, there's going to be
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: a time when they're going to need you to pick
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: them up. You know. That's what a good friendship and
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: relationship is.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: There's a certain therapy to having a bitch.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, definitely.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a difference between like bitching, gossiping, inventing.
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you guys made this video. It's like, you don't
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: have a diary. You are your human diaries. Yeah, that's
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: what you have friends for.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly, And as well.
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: I just find that it stops you from spinning your
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: wheels on a topic in your own head. Like you'll
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: have one conversation with someone, they'll validate you and then
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: you're like okay, cool, like I'm done. Yeah, Versus if
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: you are just talking to your own brain, you're like, yeah,
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: and remember this.
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: I know we.
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: Spoke about this five minutes ago, but let's talk about
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: it again.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like it just goes around over and over.
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: You can verbally physically get it out to somebody else
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: and it's like I don't know why, but it's like
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: it's just I'm over it now.
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, we love it.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: On that note, there was this book that I found
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: in my house, which I don't even know where it
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: came from, and it was I think it's called it's
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: like a little pocketbook and it has it's like a
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: little book.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: Of life, the little rules of life, and it has
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: like an inscription in the front.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: Again, I don't know where this.
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: Book came from.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: Which he speakyver, which he is Speakyver.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: And it's got these little rules in it to just
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: like fulfill your life.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: And one of them is to ask someone three questions
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: about their day.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: We'll just ask someone like three questions whenever I've had
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: a shitty day, I kind of want to just know
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: that someone else had a good one. Yeah, So like
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: I'll ask I'll call my mom and I'll just talk
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: to her about her day and it takes my mind
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: off my day. Or I'll like ask my partner when
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: he gets home and I'll be like, what was your
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: favorite thing that you ate today?
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: And like he'll be.
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: Like, oh, but me.
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: Every time, Or like I'll tell you, I'll ask mom.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: I'll be like, what was the highlight of your day?
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: And just like doing little things like that just resets
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: and kind of is that whole thing.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: That's my favorite thing? That I don't ever stop talking about.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: But is like you were like tiny little speck just
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: on a rock and nothing matters and that's it, Like
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: that's all you have. And I was telling Sal about
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: this that we had.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: It's a bit more bird, a bit sad.
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: We had a chick send in in our Broke Chicks club.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: She was asking for recommendations on like affordable wedding arrangements
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: because unfortunately her partner was diagnosed with stage four bow
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: cancer Oh my god, and was given fourteen months to live,
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: and like, it just stayed with me the whole day.
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: I just kept thinking about this and.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Just how horrible it would be, whether it was you know,
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: like a family member or a partner or a friend,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: and just how like And then I was like what
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: would I do?
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: I was like, what would I do if I.
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: Had fourteen months to live? And I was like, I
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: wouldn't care. I wouldn't care about anything.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't let like the little tiny things that like
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: annoy me during the day, pissed me, or you know,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: those little things people say and you're like, oh that
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: hurt my feelings, Like you just wouldn't care, And just
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: really trying to remind myself that like there is such
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: a privilege in having as much time as we do,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: and it was like the biggest thing that I've like
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: and that was only a week ago that I saw that.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: But every now and again it's just like.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, stuck with me one thousand percent, but yeah, what
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: about you, Siah.
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: One of my like zero dollar ways to get myself
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: out of a shitty day is I don't.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Know if this is going to be like so niche
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: to me, but whatever.
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: It's watching fairy porn. That's shit. Wait, it's coming together,
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: going bag.
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: Sorry, But it sort of relates to like allowing other
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: people to help pick you up. And I always ask
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: my boyfriend when he comes home to shrink me down,
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: And basically it means that I like get in like
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: the fetal position or whatever, and he like will wrap
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: all of his like limbs around me and like squeeze
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: me so tight, and I imagine that I'm like shrunk
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: down to like the size of like a little like
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: baby chick or something, you know what I mean, like
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: just tiny, and he like puts compression on my head
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: and like around my body and just like makes me
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: feel like it's okay again, Like you would this big.
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: It's okay, Like I'm here to like protect you. Tell
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: me what's happening, talk, talk me through it. And it's
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: just like in those moments, I feel like the physicalness
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: of that and feeling just like safe and that literally
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: getting a big, full body hug from someone can like
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: immediately turn my day around. Yeah, and it's that easy,
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: but I can't please shrink me down so cute and
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: it works.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: A trait every time.
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, very good.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah he's a weird babby, But that's the thing. It's
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: like you just have to you need to know what
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: works for you.
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: But also like just be willing to ask people for help,
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: like even if you don't have a partner, or you
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: live with housemates or you still live at home, like
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: ask your roommate to give you a big hug, or
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: like sit down with your mum.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: And be like can I please just like rant to
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: you for ten minutes.
• 37:19
  Speaker 7: And just don't be afraid to ask people for help
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: in whatever way suits you, because not everybody's a physical
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: touch person like me.
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: Say, get a dog. Yeah, I'm not a physical touch
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: person either. Maybe a weighted blanket, Yeah, yeah, I love
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: that having a rant can be like to a loved
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: one can be just as helpful as a hug, though
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: if you're not a physical touch person.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: True, yeah, do you find that ever since you got
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: a pet, though, Like navigating all those emotions has been
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: a lot easier.
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: He changed my life. Yeah, I was having like a
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: real like the mental health last year was like he
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: mostly rather than physical touch, gave me a routine, and
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: he got me out of my house like what you
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: said before, because I have to take him for walks
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: and I'm caring for something other than myself, got me
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: out of my own head. And so yeah, he's been
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: really great. I mean a dog is a lot of work.
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: You know, if you want something a little more low
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: maintenance and go for a cat, probably you could attest
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: to that. Yeah, he's been really great. He gets me
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: on my walks for my mental health.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: We love it also unconditional love. Yeah, Like it's so nice.
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: He always loves me no matter what. It's the best.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: It just peels it back and I feel like that's
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: like been the whole essence of this episode is like
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: it just gets so complicated, and people make it complicated,
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: like going on dates.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: It's like there's these weird written rules.
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like screw the rules, but that's what I mean,
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: but it's there.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, weird rules or like changing your career, Like at
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: the end of the day, you can make whatever decision
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: you want to do, and you've done that, and like,
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know, watching you've just flourish on social media,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: which you have done since I've met you, has just
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: been like such a pleasure and watching you step into
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: your own and I feel like you're glowing so much
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: more after making such a hard decision.
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it's been hard. But yeah, once you like
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: find it, find your pathway, yeah, it does. It changes everything.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to be like twenty years from now
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: and we're like sitting around like complaining about I don't know,
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: younger people I know, and we're going to like all
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: be where we're supposed to be. It's going to be
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: so exciting and we'll be like remember that podcast episode
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: on a massive transition And.
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because I also in the same vein love seeing
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: you guys thrive, Like it's so crazy. But yeah, in
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: twenty years time, yeah, being like those little things that
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: didn't matter.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: We'll do do two Broke Chicks reunion specials and we'll
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: have like all the best geests like.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: Shy, two Broke Chicks, all Stars.
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: Yes, we'll give tips for menopause.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, everyone's homework for this episode. I think they
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: have to find three things that costs them zero dollars
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: that reset their day. Whether that's doing your skincare, having
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: a shower, going for a walk, having a bitch to someone,
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: or having a wank, whatever that is.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: Those are just some examples that we love.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Watch some fairy porn. Yeah, watch, but it's ready.
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: And I really want to sure, I really want to
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: firm that. I don't think I would like that, But.
• 40:19
  Speaker 6: I reckon Akatar has been so popular that that's going
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: to surely be made into a series.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: It's being made into a TV series.
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: There you go. That's going to be fairy porn.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: Very soon.
• 40:32
