• 0:51
  Speaker 2: my own. So before we get into this, sour, I
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: need to know what's.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Your obsession of the week?
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: Know, well, my obsession of the week is something that
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: I know is also your obsession of the week. And
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: I guess should we say it three two one three
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: two one?
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Never mind it.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: We weren't anyway, is.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: Something that I know that we both are obsessed with,
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: and it's the new TV show over compensating.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Then out of fucking head.
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: It's on Prime video. It's like a coming of age
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: comedy TV series. It was created by Benny Drama. He
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: probably recognized from TikTok. He is hilarious, but it's such
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: a good show.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: It's very nostalgic.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: It has like ninety five percent on Rotten Tomatoes, so
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: it deserves that.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Also, he stars in it.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's the main character.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think it's loosely based on his life
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: and it's amazing.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: Ten out of ten.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Definitely watch it one hundred percent. We like, literally our
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: jaws were dropping. We watched it all in one day
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: and when it finished, we were like.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Screaming, no, no, no, no, no, Like we're like, no,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: I need season two now, please immediately.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: We needed it yesterday.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I have never do you know what I loved about
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: it as well is that so many of the actors
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: in it were people that I had never seen before.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I think it was only one that I had seen before.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: He was like the toxic hot guy that I was like.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: And also came over from Charlie xc Oh. Yes, she's
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: great in it. It's just fucking dumb and stupid, and
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I love it, yeah, but so smart and also heartwarming.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: All, Okay, My obsession of the week is I don't
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: know if you would have seen this online, but Steve
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Madden on The Cutting Room Floor podcast. No, Oh my gosh,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: So Steve Madden, the shoe designer, right, he went on
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: this podcast, The Cutting Room Floor, And I haven't listened
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: to the full episode. It's just the clips that I've
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: seen because I went to go listen to it and
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: it's I think it's on like Patreon or paywall, and
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I honestly couldn't figure out.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: How to do it on Spotify. But I'm absolutely going
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: to be listening to the full thing.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: And the podcast host, she is literally incredible. She does
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: not hold back in the way that the clip that
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I saw was discussing basically his like knockoffs or his
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: inspiration of designer shoes, and she pulls up photos of
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: his shoes and quizes him on the designer that has
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: been the inspiration I say in quotes or like that
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: they've dooped or knocked off or whatever, and he gets
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: every single wine.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: But I love it. He's just like this big man.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: That's been like, oh, I love them, like it's just
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: icon behavior.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I don't really.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: I feel like, no shame, literally.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: No shame.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: This is like my first interaction I've ever seen of
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Steve Madden on the internet. Just yeah, that sniffert. I
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: was like, I'm obsessed. Yeah, I'm obsessed. And then the
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: other obsession I have of the week is that men
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: who kiss their partners before leaving for work live an
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: average of five years longer than men who don't. So
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: this is design to send this to your boyfriend to
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: make sure you get a forehead kiss before he leaves
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: for work every day, or before you leave for work
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: every day.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: If you're not already getting one, dump here, dump hiven
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: find one will.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Literally when I said this to my partner, he was like,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: so I'm going to live forever And I was like, yeah, bitch,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I'm immortal.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: So the psychological study mentions that a nineteen eighties study
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: observed similar findings, with men who kiss their wives before
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: work living an average of five years longer than those
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: who didn't. Kissing has always been shown to release hormones
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: like oxytocin and dopamine, which improve mood and reduce the stress.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Hormone cortisole, which can negatively impact health. When chronically elevated,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: regular kissing may foster a positive attitude and a sense
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: of connection, leading to a better mental.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: And physical health. This is propaganda I'm falling for.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, more kissing, Honestly, more.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Kissing, more making out, more head kisses, all of it.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: So send this, Send this to him or them or whatever. Yeah,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: your lover a. Yeah.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Shall we get into our propaganda that we are, propaganda
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: that we are falling for.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Yes, My first piece of propaganda that I am falling
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: for is the internet's boyfriend.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, who's our boyfriend at the moment.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: I personally love a good celebrity crush, and I doesn't.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Some people don't.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: Some people like aren't really into it. I remember I
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: was like, which is so fine, Which is so fine?
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: But ever since I was like.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: A little kid, I've always had like a new celebrity crush.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I cried when I watched High School Musical two because
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I had the realization that Zac Efron didn't know who
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Honestly, it's a true heartbreak.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: But I absolutely love this trend and that we all
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: have a new Internet boyfriend pretty much every single month.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: So let's run through some of our favorite Internet boyfriends Okay,
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Adam Brady yep, Pedro.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Pascal, Oh, yeah, that one, that one.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Love him, Paul Mescal Oh yes, Henry Cappell.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Don't know, Smash Sorry, that's actually a bit too much.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Sorry, Harry Styles. You know he's all right. You wouldn't
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: shut the door in his face?
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Well yet, no, Michael B.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: Jordan, Oh yeah, especially like recently, I feel like, oh,
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: I've been there.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I've been there since he was in the movie with
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Zach Effron.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Zach Efron. Yeah, I love that.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Miles Taylor is another one I reckon, yep.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: And then last but certainly not least, Timothy Shallow May.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: I think it's interesting though, because I do feel like
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: the Internet's boyfriend is different to maybe like the hottest
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: man of the year kind of vibe, because I feel
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: like maybe the Internet's boyfriend is typically like maybe a
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: little bit more nerdy, seems like a little bit more approachable, because.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, like, I dress Elba, but
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I'm like, but he's amazing.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like there's a difference between like the
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Internet's boyfriend and then a sex icon, yeah, a man.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: But I do think there's.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: Potential to have some crossover because I do think that
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Pedro does kind of sit into that.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah no, because he's yeah being like daddy's the
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: state of mind. Yeah, And I.
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: Love all those clips of him being asked, like if
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: he looks at the fan edits and he's so into it.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like he doesn't deny that he is the Internet's boyfriend.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Love that.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what's your first one?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, my first propaganda that I am falling for is
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: girl Math. Oh yeah, but let me explain, because girl
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Math isn't dumb. It's rebranding financial savvy and like moving
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: away from this sexist narrative that women shop but men buy.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: And when I'm saying I subscribe and I believe in
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: this propaganda, I'm not talking about like the playful rhetoric
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: that's like if I return it then I made money
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: or like that's just lighthearted giggles, you know. But I
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: think what girl Math has done is put more of
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: a light on value and getting more bang for your buck.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: And it's not about impulse, so it focuses on you know,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: it's put a massive spotlight on you know, cost per wear,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: shopping sales and using discounts, making sustainable and thoughtful purchases
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: and sticking to budgets, and it just kind of challenges
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: that notion that like women are just here like frivolously
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: buying shit.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah you know what I mean, we don't know what
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: to do with our money. Yeah, that way to shopaholics.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And like, yes, the term has been used for
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: jokes and giggles and whatever, but it's also used to
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: highlight when we're being like, yes, I'm gonna buy this,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: because even though this pair of jeans is like two
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars, if I wear it twenty times, you do
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the math, and I'm like.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm subscribing to that. I'm a part of that.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I love that propaganda, absolutely love it.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah fully.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: And also even in its silly elements, I also you know,
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: I like consuming the content that's just like silly and fun.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah as well.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: But I think it has given us a word that
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: is a bit sexier to talk.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: About getting more bang for your buck.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because like, especially coming into you know, our job,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: it's kind of hard to communicate like saving money and
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: finances in a fun way.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: So being like this is.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Why this is a good deal, Because if you subtract
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: twenty dot.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: People like I'm board scroll.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: But if you're like, no, the girl mapth on this
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: is really good. People like I'm listening tell mimo. Yeah,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: and so yeah, I love it. I'm not glorifying the
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: side that's like, oh, if I use after pay it's free.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's no, Like we're not glorifying debt, but yeah, it's.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: More the highlight.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: It's given to actually focusing on the value and cost
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: and getting the most bang for your bart.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, yeah, our fucking yep.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: My next propaganda that I'm falling for is Type A
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: and Type B dynamics.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, I've also seen Type C.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: What's oh yes, yes, yes, okay, yeah, Type C.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: I like because while I do really.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: Like this trend and I do think it's funny and
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: also relatable, I do think that sometimes people could be
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: a Type C because sometimes you are a bit of
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: the best.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Of both worlds, you know what I mean.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: But I also love the trend that's like behind every
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: anxious woman who is overthinking everything is their boyfriend who
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: has never worried about anything a single day in his life,
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: and like or friends on a trip, and it's like
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: the type A friend and they're the one who's like,
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: I've booked this, I've made reservations for blah blah, this
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: is the activity we're doing. And then the other friend
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: who's like the type B friend who's like.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Where are we going?
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know where my passport is, like, and
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: it's just like living off of vibes.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: You know what I've seen, though I've seen it reversed
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: as well, where it's like, you know, the couple and
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: it's like the type beavers type A, and every time
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I scroll past, I expect the girl to be the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: type A because like, statistically women carrying more mental load
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: and organization and shit like that.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah that when it's the guy, I'm like where and
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: how like I am always like you are living the
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: dream like but then again, I would never let a
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: man control the shit that I do, but I'd be like, hmm,
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: your schedule sucks, I'm doing it.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: But like that to me is I'm like whoo yeah. Yeah.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: Another part of this trend that I have saying that
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: I feel like I relate more to is like the
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: anxious girlfriend and the calm boyfriend. And I do think
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: that that is a dynamic that we see whether it's
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: just in a partnership, regardless of gender and regardless of
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: who sits under what. But I do think the opposites
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: do attract sometimes with these dynamics, and it can make
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: for really good relationships, whether that is in romantic or
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: in friendships as well. So if you're not familiar with
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: what type A and type B is, I'll give like
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: a quick rundown. So Type A is the type of
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: person who is like competitive, ambitious, time conscious, maybe a
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: little bit impatient, often experiencing stress and a bit of
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: anxiety because they love their schedule and they love to
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: be in control of the situation. But they're often hard
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: working and driven towards achieving their goals. Then, on the
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: other hand, Type B is more relaxed, patient, flexible, easy going,
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: maybe less prone to stress. And then there's type C,
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: which I believe is the sort of person who may
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: show habits of type B but then potentially has the
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: stress of type A. So some examples that I've seen
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: is I'm a Type C girl. I'll spend hundreds on clothes,
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: but they never wear them. I can wake up at six,
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: but I can also sleep until noon. I procrastinate everything,
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: but we'll get it done two minutes before it's due.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: My room can be immaculate, but my drawers and closet
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: are an absolute wreck. I get ready five hours before,
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: but I'm still late, Or I get ready thirty minutes
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: before and I'll be on time. So they're kind of like,
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: am I the mix of both. But I also think that,
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: like with these sorts.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Of labels, it's also just you know whatever.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I'll get into this a little bit more
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: later with one of the other propagandas I want to
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: talk about, But I do think it's one of those
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: exact I know that you can kind.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Of like pick and choose between.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: But the reason why I do subscribe to this propaganda
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: and I personally like it, especially for like the anxious
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: skins early calm boyfriend ye doing at me. So there
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: are many benefits to maintaining a balance in relationships between
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: these two types of people. So Type A tends to
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: go go go, which can lead to burnout, and two
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: type as can feed off each other in unhealthy ways
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: because there's no Type B like pulling back and being like,
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: let's maybe like not do this, like to go with
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: the flow.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: It's kind of like two type as being.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, that's optimize every single hour.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah exactly.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: But then on the other hand, Type A can encourage
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: and motivate Type B who may be a little bit
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: more relaxed and not much so I think that they
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: can bring out the best and each I agree. Yeah,
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: you kind of briefly touched on it as well, And
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: I do want to say that the part of this
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: like propaganda that I don't agree with is that it
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: is the woman who is always Type A and having
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: to carry all of the emotional labor and load, and
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: then the man who's just like like and doesn't know
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: like their own mum's birthday.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: And I also think with these things, I don't know,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: and I know you would agree with this as well,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: but like people just get really kind of wrapped up
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: and being sometimes a label that they then kind of
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: attribute their entire personality to it good and bad.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: That like sometimes when people are just being an asshole,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: they're like, sorry, that's just me being like so Type
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: A exactly. I'm like, actually you're being a bitch, Jessica,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Like yeah, like it's just or people being like when
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: people fucking rude, And we'll probably talk about this later.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Being like, ah, sorry, that's just me being as Sagittarius.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: No Jessica bitch again.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, my next one is actually a propaganda I am
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: falling for that I'm stealing from someone else who we've
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: actually already discussed this episode, and as Charlie xx and
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: in her list, which I was like, oh, taking that
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: and peppering it into my life, was not being obsessed
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: with yourself all the time?
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: That I was like, fuck yeah, I like that.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: There is such a strong movement of self love and
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: body positivity and embracing self care and identity and et cetera,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: et cetera. Put those words in a posaurus, right, that
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: it also becomes a little bit of toxic positivity that sometimes,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: you know, allowed to just like feel a little bit
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: shit about yourself, Like you're not going to be obsessed
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: with yourself all the time. And then whenever I'm not
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: in those moments where I'm not obsessed with myself, right,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I'm a fraud. I'm a fraud telling
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: people to love themselves and I don't even love myself.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: But that's just normal and natural, and half the time
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: it's ainy alluvial phase. Let's be honest.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think that is a good reminder that, yeah,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: the way that you feel about yourself, about your work,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: about your relationships, friendships, whatever, it's not linear, like it
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: is a bit of a rollercoaster.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: And I just I liked that because sometimes I actually
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: I think this is a bit roue to say.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I just want to talk shit about myself and
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: not have someone being like, no, you're beautiful, and like, listen, Jessica,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: I fucking have seventeen pimples on my face, my period hurts,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: my hair's oily, and I haven't fake tanned, and also
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: my ex mes itchy. Like just just let me say
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: that I feel ugly and I'll get over it.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: It's not gonna be forever.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: But sometimes I just want to talk shit about myself
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: without someone being like no, Like we should be able.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: To have, you know, those down days you do a
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: little bit negatively, feel like a.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Bit neutral, like you don't have to like sure, I
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: love feeling like I could kick a door if its
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: hinges and like gas myself up. And I love my
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: like god complex flare ups like that's a vibe. I
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: love when that happens, right, But to expect that all
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: the time is just exhausting.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: And also you're gonna fail at that like all the time.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So yeah, balance balance baby.
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and don't feel bad if you do have those
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: days when you're not feeling like you're biggest fan.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, or if you're just neutral. Yeah you know.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: My next propaganda that I am falling for, it's a
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: quick one. The full face of makeup and dressing like
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: Adam Sandler.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Combo.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Oh oh, I've seen this trend. I've seen this trend,
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: and it's like, do I look like a boy popa?
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: I fucking love that. I think that is the ultimate combo.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: I would rather have a full face of makeup on
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: and my hair done and then dress really comfortably. If
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: I have to pick one of the two.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: You're talking to a bisexual icon, I absolutely self climb
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: yeah to me just previously saying don't be obsessed with yourself.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Five minutes later, I'm.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: A bisexual icon. I feel like for our live show
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: tour later this year, we should do themed nights and
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: one of the theme yeah, and one of the theme
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: nights should be dressed like Adam Sandler full face of makeup.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'm everyone comes when.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: You dressed like that too.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's so cute.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah done.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: My next one is PROPAGANDAA am falling for intuition whispers
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: anxiety screams. So if a thought feels frantic, fear driven,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: and pushy, it's probably your anxiety. If it feels quite clear, steady,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: it's likely your intuition. And the inability to tell the
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: difference between these things can often be what causes us
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: to make the wrong decisions or leads us down a
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: path that maybe isn't necessarily the best one for us
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: out of a place that's not necessarily looking out for
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: what's best for you, but it's coming from a place
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: of fight or flight, right, and learning to tell the
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: difference is a skill, but brings you to more of
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: a place of clarity that I think anxiety does serve
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: a purpose.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: However, Now, the.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Things that can trigger it are often not life threatening, right, Yeah,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Like and I say often because asterisks. Right, if you're
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: in a woods and there's a bear, shiel or whatever
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: it is you're sending an email, Yeah, that's that's not
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: necessarily what it means. And like examples, I pulled some
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: examples together to kind of make this a little bit clearer. So,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: for example, the situation is you're dating someone new and
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: they haven't texted you back.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: For a few hours.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Anxiety screams they're losing interest, they no longer want to
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: date you, they found someone new. Should you double text
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: You're never going to find someone like quick, double down,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: like reach out now, whereas your intuition would whisper, they're
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: probably busy. They'll get back to you when they can.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: If it's not meant to be, then it won't be right.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: That's the difference there. Another situation would be your debating
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: buying something a little bit more expensive. Maybe it's a laptop,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: a design, a handbag, whatever you want.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Anxiety would scream if you don't buy this now, like,
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: you'll miss out.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: What if it sells out, what if you regret not
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: treating yourself, And intuition would whisper, this isn't the right time.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Maybe let's sit on it for twenty four hours. I'll
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: wait one week and see if I still want it,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, I'm trying to kind of embody that
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: a bit more of being like, is it my intuition
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: or my anxiety talking right now?
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Is that fucking bitch? Yeah, Jessica, and her name
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: is just a gap.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: No.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: I love that, and I do think that when you
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: do sit down and think about it, it's you know,
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: the difference between the anxiety and the intuition propaganda.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: I'm falling for zodiacs.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: All right, hit me, little WITCHI shit, So I tell
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: myself that I.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Don't believe in zodiac science. Just silly. It's just fun.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Ha ha, It's just something fun to say.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: And yet and yet whenever I ask somebody what their
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: staff sign is, nine out of ten times their characteristics
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: line up with that.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: Am I fucking with a plus zbo? Probably?
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Probably?
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: But you know what she's always said, I fuck with
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: the place ebo.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: That's right. A lot of people feel this way.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just fun.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: It is just fun.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: And apparently this is explained by something called the Barnum effect.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's in like PJ. Barnum or whatever. The
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: circus guy's name is, yeah, Hugh Jacksman.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: But we just swing from Machine de Leer and seeing
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: the soundtrack to the Greatest Showman who.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: I believe so because because it was based on like
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: a magician who can convince people that what they're saying
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: is true, I'm pretty sure, So whether or not that's influenced,
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: we can look into it. The Barnum effect is a
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: cognitive bias where individuals believe that vague and general descriptions
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: apply specifically to them. So this could include zodiac science,
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: psychic readings, motivational quotes and speakers, memes, and also marketing
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: and advertising. And the cause of the Barnum effect is
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: that when we're isolated and disconnected as human beings, we
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: don't thrive. We are a communal beast, like that's just
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: how we've always been. So, according to doctor Edward Ratouche,
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: humans are biologically designed to seek out connections with each
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: other and the world around us. So that's why I
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: fuck with the propaganda of zodiacs just trying to connect
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: to you, man.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, fuck, I like it. I think they're fine.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I love looking at the memes, which are always accurate.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: And when every time I check like a meme page,
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: a zodiac meme page, I always check mine and I
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: check Alex's too, and they're always so spot on.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Do you know what I wonder? Though?
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure there'd be studies on this, and if
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: they haven't, then hit me up. But when you understand
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: a label or the categories under that label, do you
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: grow into that label? So, for example, but where by
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: being young and hearing that, you know, an ares is
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: always really spicy and outgoing and blah blah blah blah blah,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: if I just grown towards that or is that me?
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: They did the question to e Mass to ask us
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: said the questions. Yeah.
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: The weird thing is that when I was little and
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: I heard about Pisces, I just thought it was like
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: creative and likes like art and music.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: That was kind of all I understood about it.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: And then as I got into my twenties and probably
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: saw more of the memes and like looked into it more,
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: I was like, what, there's actually a lot of things
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: that a line that I had no idea had anything
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: to do with the zodiac sign until I was in
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: my twenties and I already had grown into the person
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: that I was.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: Probably a coincidence, still fun, Yeah.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, next one, my next propaganda, I am make up first,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: hair second.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: If you do it the other way around, that's weird.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, make up first, hair second, outfit last.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Yes, and if you do a different do a different order.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: I'd love to hear why, because here's here's my breakdown. Right,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: to do your makeup, it's got to be off your
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: face because you've got to get into the roots and
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. Especially if you've got really light hair,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: you've got to be able to clean the makeup off
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: that gets on your hair. So if you do your
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: hair and it's done, then you've got to like wet
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: it again you've ruined your hair. So then once your
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: makeup is done, then you do your hair. Because again,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: if you do your hair first, then you're like there
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: with like a bare face, being like whose horse is that?
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: You know, and then your hair looks shit exactly by proxy,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: you know, by proxy. And so then that it must
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: be the way because as well outfit last. Can't put
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: the outfit on before you're going to get makeup on it,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: that's not even a question.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: And also you can't get a true understanding.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: If the outfit looks like without the makeup and you
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: thank you even without the hair done.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Like if the hair is in a messy bun and
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: I've got makeup on and I put the outfit on, crazy,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: I hate it.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Crazy business a whole wardrobe. Actually, I'm not even coming anymore. Yeah,
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: I'll put Majami's on and I'm going to bed. Yeah.
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: My last piece of propaganda that I am falling for
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: is my eight dollar ice coffee.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, mine's five dollars.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, mine's five dollars. Your local, does you a good
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: a good deal?
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Yours is five fifty because you get the soy, But
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: mine's oh.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: At yours, yeah, at my local, mine's like seven eighty.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: So but it's the propaganda I fall for, I guess.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: And I love it.
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: But I was looking into what the average price of
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: coffee is because this is something a piece of propaganda
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: that I have been falling for for the last ten years.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: And I'm like, at what point will I be like enough,
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: I can't afford this anymore? Yeah, Like, is coffee one
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: day going to be like thirty bucks?
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: What is the most you would pay for a soy
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: ice latte.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: If there was no other option?
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Like, as we walked into a cafe and you ordered one,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: what's the price that they would say back to you
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: and you go, don't worry about it?
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: Twelve dollars?
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think, yeah, And that's pretty bad. I'm not
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: proud of that because that shows how deep in this
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: propaganda I am.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: And I hate myself for that because.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: It's only four dollars more than eight dollars, you know,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: I know, but that's like a lot.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: That's a lot, okay, But I was curious, like, what
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: is the average price of coffee?
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: The average price of.
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: A cup of coffee in Australia has risen by thirty
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: seven point five percent from pre pandemic levels, moving from
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: four dollars to approximately.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: Five dollars fifty.
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: A flat white now costs between six dollars and seven
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: dollars in major cities, while an iced long black ranges
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: from six to fifty to eight dollars. In regional Australia,
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: some coffee prices have reached close to ten dollars per cup.
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: Fock, yeah, so oh many like pre pandemic that was
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: you know, five or six years ago. So how much
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: am I going to.
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: Be paying in six years? Because I don't see this
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: addiction being curved anytime soon? Oh my gosh, I'm deep
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: in the propaganda.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Baby, Yeah damn, what's yours? Okay?
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: My propaganda that I am falling for is recipe talk.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: I love TikTok recipes. I think they're like one of
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: the best things to come out of the app.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: And it's just made cooking so much more fun and
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: so much more experimental, and.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: I've just made things that I've never even conjured in
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: my brain before. My one of my favorite.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Recipe TikTok is is Michael Finch, Yeah.
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: Which I really like his content as well.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: I love it and like I used to watch his
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: YouTube beauty channel make Up by Michael Finch, so it's
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: just like so nostalgic to me as well. Yeah, like
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: I don't think anybody would have predicted that story art
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: I know what's happened, and like their recipes and their
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: con is just so so good. And there's one called
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: fuck Me Salmon Pasta. It's like people have like marry
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: me pasta, but he's like, I call this one fuck
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Me sam and Pasta, and it's so yum and delicious
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, give it to me. But if you
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: also fall into the trap of like saving and liking
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: recipes and then never being able to find them, there's
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: this app called Recie Me Recime, and you can send
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: the TikTok to this app and it breaks down the
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: recipe for you in the app. That's like all the
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: ingredients and the directions, and I think there is like
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: a paid element to it. So you could also just
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: when you save it, organize it in the folders of
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: your TikTok. So when you save something on TikTok if
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: you don't know, I'm sure most do that, you can
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: put it into a folder and so you can save
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: all your recipes in there. But sometimes it can be
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: a bit hard to find, like the information or whatever.
• 29:57
