Thanks to animates making happy happened for pets on.

Speaker 4 (00:09):
The Top six coming up dealing with the Yeah, well
said the second vote. It's called a confidence vote, right,
there's there's murmurs in a political party that they don't
have confidence in the fact that the leader of that
party is going to have them the knots. Yeah, so
this was taken them through to the election. The National
Party apparently called for this yesterday. Chrispher Luxen whipped around

(00:32):
remains the leader. But I've got the top six Chris
Is the National Party like better than Chris Luxon because
there was the other Chris Bishop Pink Pink Pink that
was trying to take out Chris Luxe Luson to go
up against Chrisship as well.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Too many Chris.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
It's very much the you know Hollywood Chris Is you,
Chris Hemsworth, you, Chris Evans, you, Chris Pine, Chris Pine,
all thess Pratt, all the crises of Hollywood.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
We've got all the chrises of Parliament.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
I've got the top six Crisses the National Party like
better than Chris Laksen.

Speaker 5 (01:07):
Next on the show, if you're listening to us as
you get ready for work, perhaps and you're putting on
a face or think about what to wear, but you
don't have a job that really requires you to be hot.
Think again, workplaces are getting hotter babes.

Speaker 6 (01:21):
The z N podcast Networks plays z ends flesh one
and Haley.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
So this is really interesting.

Speaker 5 (01:27):
This is a piece from the Guardian about whether or
not you need to be hot at work and it
was do you remember the book Dress for Success? Yeah,
nineteen seventy five that book was first released. It was
about dressing for the job you want or the respect
or the power that you want, you know, going into
the workplace and dressing up a bit Dress for success.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
It's not what we do, is it, Vaughn? Just rocking
and well No, and.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
Someday, I mean literally on Monday I was here in
Jim Yeah, because I was like, I'm going to Jim after.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Its presenting a radio show. We're not going to turn
up on suits.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
No, but it is filmed and sometimes you're like, hmm,
a little bit more if it would have been appreciated
in this moment. Sure, So that was this whole thing
Dress for Success, corporate attire getting, you know, looking your
best at work, and then that all moved aside when
blemen Silicon Valley and you know, in in California with

(02:24):
the tech companies and they're like, no, we wear hoodies.
You know, you're bloody Zuckerburbs and stuff, slopping into Google
and you know, just wearing your hoodies. And that was
supposed to just be open the world to this new
casual thing. Well, thanks to the rise and GP ones
and cosmetic surgery, people who previously had jobs where looks

(02:46):
were not really a huge part of it, like not
front facing or TV or even selling things. I guess
when they previously that wasn't an issue, it's now become
an issue. They asked eight people from very different industries
to talk about whether they've felt the pressure to look
better than they all have, including a divorce lawyer who

(03:09):
she's forty three years old. She drops four figures a
month on botox filler hair extensions because she says she
gets more respect when she's looking hother. She says she
was on a beach with a family, all looking rough
and everything when she got asked to go and give
an opinion on TV. She got clothes shipped to her
emergency here and makeup done shopping trip mid vacation, so

(03:31):
that she looked good on cameras for people respect her
rather than just like hearing a ponytail coming and be like,
my opinion matters. There was a shopkeeper who said she
literally got her job from her pretty privilege. There's a
welder who's a female who said she also got her
job when they found out that she had an Instagram
following being like, oh my female welder. This isn't very

(03:52):
common and I'm pretty We call her the blue collar Barbie.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
There's a dog.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
Walker who was an actor in a gig work signed
up to an agency called Hot Dogs because he wasn't
making enough money doing normal dog walking.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
So if you're hot and you walk the dog, get
paid more.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
What Jesus, why does it matter if someone's walking your dog,
get they're hot.

Speaker 5 (04:12):
But if you've got a dog and you're hiring someone
to walk your dog, Yeah, two applicants.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
One's a minger and one's a hot model, now a
manga because they won't get distracted. I'd hire more mingas
because they work harder. I'd hot person the person they
can take, the person they're going to slack off because
they know you won't remind them.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
Here's asked the podcast host. Previously, absolutely didn't matter. It's
all about the words. Now it's all filmed on camera
five times a week. Since it adds an hour to
her routine.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
I'm not doing that an hour.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
But they don't get up at bloody four o'clock.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
No, I just that's what as the average woman's been
on looking good for the workplace, because I do honestly
believe this is a female.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
Definitely female, you know, years but probably not now. Well,
there's another guy, just two more and then I want
to hear that the home builder.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
So there's a guy here the same thing. It was
just framing houses.

Speaker 5 (05:01):
Found as you put in more effort into his photos
and content and everything, and more effort into how he looked,
he got more work. And a publicist gets free cosmetic
treatments and everything, like it feels his more respect.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
But then when you said the hot builder, it's like
the hot bilder is going to get because then you're
at high he's building.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
You get to have a little lucky. If I'm pitching
a dram, you're going to get the hot builder.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Yeah. Yeah, So the average woman spends between three thousand
and five thousand US annually on maintaining a professional appearance.
It's called the grooming gap. And it's not only like
how much it costs, it's also the time investment, how
much time it takes. The average woman spends twenty seven
to fifty five minutes every morning getting ready for work,

(05:45):
so that roughly equates the ten full working days spent
on grooming before you even get to your workday. Wow,
how much would you spend this morning? Seven? Yeah, including teeth,
including getting changed. Yeah, yeah, getting changed teeth. How do
you show a woman in corporate settings historically spin up
to twenty percent of their salary on clothing to stay competitive. Yeah,

(06:05):
because men can just wear the same thing over and
over with a different check.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
We can just wear the same suit different time.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
I know.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
Do you remember that experiment on the news There was
a female anchor and a male anchor and she got
called out for wearing one jacket twice during the week.
He wore the same suit for a year and no
one's seen anything crazy. But also it's the GLP ones, right,
So it's like not saying they're getting thinner as hotter,
but that's a broad perspective. I guess it's out there.
Everyone's on them. So people that previously you know, everyone's going.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Like, oh, you're looking good or you've dropped a bit
of wey and you're sitting there like no one's coming
on my appearance.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
They're going to get hotter for work.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
We've got too much to think about, yeah, especially us.
I mean, we are lucky that Mostly it's.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
About the voice.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
It's about listening to the words that we say, and
not the face, Thank Christ.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Unless people are now watching this on the videos, another
one put the puffy six o'clock.

Speaker 5 (07:01):

putting puffy sex, and we're not putting putting puffy sex
on the cameras.

Z M podcast Network plays ms flesh.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
Worn and Haley this is quite a beautiful story.

Speaker 5 (13:54):
Actually, I want to tell you the most popular in
New Zealand lolly fla.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
Green green, red or green red or green real grain.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
That's your guess.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
The most popular flavor and how many you should take?
According to the man that makes them.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
The man that makes them Scott Obviously he's got an
interest in us. He'd want you to take more, so
they have to buy them, all right, You.

Speaker 5 (14:18):
Would think, you would think, so this is a nice story.
So Dieru Beaker he bought the Horners Confectiony Company in
nineteen eighty four, Antikuwity and it witty. Yeah, it nearly
collapsed and then they had to pivot hard. They went
into candy canes, bringing in candy like sugar cane from America,

(14:40):
and then they had a monopoly of New Zealand Australia
candy canes. They're like, right, we're all good. They outgrew
Tikiwitty moved to Auckland in ninety ninety nine. Two thousand
and five, Didu and his son Raj were on an
in New Zealand flight and the lollies were there and
he said, I'm going to make these one day, mark
my words. It happened like only a couple years later.

(15:01):
He took it on bomb. He's got it.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
He said.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
He had a bit of an early blunder, switched the
labels from rip from the wrapper, from twist to pillow
and everyone was like, oh gosh, bring back the twist.
What's a pillow like Worther's original? I like sealed. Oh okay,
don't be insane. We're back to twist. Okay, people, they
riot it. He makes twenty two million Air New Zealand

(15:24):
lollies a year, including the limited edition ones like the
Black Current All Black ones or the Christmas candy Cane
with one two million boiled sweets individual sweat. Absolutely insane. Ah,
so we have an opinion on how many should you take?
We have an opinion from Dido who owns the company,
Raj his son, who has taken over the making of it.

(15:45):
That's a nice story and Air New Zealand officially, Oh okay,
so do the lolly master. He says, one per passenger
and one per person you're meeting at the airport.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Oh so you bring them? Okay?

Speaker 5 (15:59):
That was the intention is, like, you have one for
you and I'm meeting my brother and his kids.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
So what if it's my uber driver?

Speaker 8 (16:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (16:08):
Grab him?

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Do you think us wait?

Speaker 5 (16:11):
Raj his sons says, take two, one that you like
and one that's a mint.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
The mint to finish.

Speaker 5 (16:18):
Oh okay, yeah, breath in New Zealand's official line, take
a handful of judgment, be damned.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
Arl Like, but if everyone starts taking a handful and
their lolly prices go up, yeah, they'll be reversing that.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Okay, opinion quick smart the.

Speaker 5 (16:32):
Most popular flavor, so popular that the Horns factory has
to make double the volume white.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
What it's mint? Are you kidding me?

Speaker 5 (16:43):
They make double the volume of mint because that's mental.
People are freshening their breath for their arrival, getting a mintiness,
and you get the.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
Red or the green.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
Yeah. Also, no one's getting the orange. No one's getting
the yellow orange or black.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
There's that special.

Speaker 5 (17:03):
Yeah you black current one they talked about. Yeah, so
they yeah, it's white to.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
Freshen your bread.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
Really that's disappointing, Yeah, I know.

Speaker 5 (17:11):
Do you know like candy can candy cane sales have
faded so much, you know, because we've got so many
cheap imports from around, so Hornets very.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
The you like, what why would you go a candy can?

Speaker 3 (17:24):
So many prellys shut up, so Horners.

Speaker 5 (17:28):
These two pivoted into doing stuff like throat lozenges and
gummies vitamin gummies because they're like, oh, yes, that's what
everyone wants. Yeah, but there it is. They say you
can't buy them anywhere either. They do it looking under
another thing. They're called fruits and the key we Land
called orchard fruits. But they're different flavors, different shapes. You

(17:50):
can't just go out and buy bags in New Zealand
lowers and do you know that's not an Air New
Zealand policy that they put in place. It was de
ru He was like, it holds the value. Yeah, you
can only get them when you're on the flight and
see like.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
Oh oh that's pretty.

Speaker 5 (18:04):
A little lolly so white the most popular nize and
lolly flavor.

Speaker 6 (18:08):
The ZM podcast network play z m's Flesh Forn and
Hailey Flesh Hailey.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Silly Little Pool Silly.

Speaker 9 (18:19):
It is so silly, silly, silly that the Silly Little
Pool selling set silly.

Speaker 4 (18:31):
It's a little pole. Todays when your clothes need repairing,
what do you do? Do you A repair them yourself,
B pay someone to repair them for me, CE, donate them,
d I throw them away. Interesting, well, a lot of
clothing brands are targeting gen Z's, you know, because they

(18:52):
obviously want to win them over with the.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Whole The planet screws.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
Spashion, The Planet screw so a lot of our stores
like Zara, unic Clothe, they'll have repair stations in store.
That's cool. Yeah, I mean lots of places like Patagonia
have done this for a while.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
I think Levi's, lots.

Speaker 5 (19:11):
Of key We companies do it too. Koto's one that
does it. You're sure Daily Ponies. You can take anything
there so that you don't throw it out.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
Is the Team and Shine Machine repair stations? No, they're
not here. On you're not here while that sucks, unfortunately,
it is the first time I wore that T shirt.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
Yeah, straight through it. So I'll go from lowest to highest.
Nine percent of people donate them if they need repairing. Sure,
I mean donate them with somebody.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Who don't donate ruined clothes.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
I mean at least they might get recycled. But a
lot of the time it gets shipped to like Africa
and they just they are a land fill. There are
mountains of clothing like you should look online, it's insane.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
Yeah, don't because you'll feel bad. Maybe do and they'll
stop here.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
Eighteen percent of people said I pay someone to repair
them for me, thirty four percent of people say I
throw them away, and thirty nine percent say I repair
them myself. There have been times I've taken stuff to
get repaired and it honestly is not worth the price. Yeah,
like it's so expensive alteration place, I mean in Auckland
downtown especially, maybe it's cheaper in the region.

Speaker 5 (20:23):
So yeah, I mean I've definitely like if something's expensive,
like a jacket or something that I've spent a bit
of money on, it's getting repaired. But yeah, a T
shirt when it gets a hole through it or a
rip or something. Yeah, but like maybe turn it into
rags and eventually in the burn Yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
Brand said I voted throw them out ninety five percent
of the time. I world, but if it's an absolute
favorite to make mum give the repair a go. I
can't try that un through a tantrum if it takes
more than two minutes. I think every second message was
I'll give it to mom. Yeah, that was deffinitely the
most popular one. Cants he expecs my T shirt, rembers
he expects your T shirt shirt.

Speaker 5 (20:55):
My mum came in and went through my wardrobe when
she moved into my house and anything it's a missing button,
a hole, she fixed it.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
And I was like, that's good stuff. Thank you did
she close up? You know, after a while buttonholes get
a bit stretched and they just need a little now, I.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
She didn't tighten my holes. No little get in there
with a little outer rim. Yeah, and you tie them up.
That's got a couple of things. I need that done.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
Nut Brand finishes up by saying, none of my clothes
are expensive enough to pay for them to be repaired. Yeah,
we do a bitch and stitch as a group every
few months and bring our clothes, says Best. It's so cool.
I'll do repairs. One friend does tailoring, one does drink making,
and the others on snacks.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
It's a great guttles craft to earn. How good is that?

Speaker 4 (21:36):
What a perfect group? Yeah, Leanne said, I'm forty nine,
so I asked my mum to fix them. We mum
still turning up. Amber says, repairs are my side hustle job.
So my own clothes always come last by the time
I get round to them. But obsess of making my
own dresses and hats. That's cool, Nicola. I get my

(21:57):
thirteen year old to whip them through the sewing machine.
If it's buttons, I stitched them myself. You go, thirteen
year old clothes maker in the house Dale, I use
them as farm clothes, or if they're already farm clothes,
they get turned into farm rags, and then after they've
been out, they get thrown out.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Yeah that's a great that's a great system. Um oops,
I clicked out.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
Needs another option and insist to myself that I'll repair
it one day and leave it in a pile for
many many moons every now and then actually following through
on one item, but then being bored after one and
ended up throwing them away. After sealing little pole, we asked,
when your clothes need repairing, what do you do? Nine
percent of you said her repair than myself. But you
met your mum the.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Fletchhorn and Haley Bee good.

Speaker 5 (22:42):
You may remember I was brought up in discussion a
couple of days ago the fact that my bestie has
been staying with me all week and we were going
to get a tattoo this week. She's got lots and
I've got lots, and we were going to get the
nineteen eighty nine, the year we were born.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
And then I was worried that.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
People think it was a Taylor Swift tattoo.

Speaker 5 (23:01):
So yesterday she we were like right, you know, in
the in the evening and late afternoon, we were like, Okay,
here we go, let's go. And then I was like,
I can't do it.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
I just can't do it.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
Nineteen eighty nine.

Speaker 5 (23:14):
Yeah, it was funny because a couple of friends said
to me, yes, I would have immediately thought that was
a Taylor Swift reference, and a couple of friends like
Jess herself, was like, oh, they wouldn't even cross my mind.
So anyway, we just decided. We were like, we're just
gonna go get something fun. So we were sitting in
the car outside of the Teddor studio, were like, oh, should.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
We do that?

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Wait, so you're about to get a tattoo. You're outside
the studio. This is nut.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
Weren't even a book.

Speaker 5 (23:39):
We're just like we're just walking. We're just on k road.
We were like, we're just walking. One of them will
take us, and it's like a popular thing to do.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
It's walking.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
You're just walking and I feel like a little something
in Yeah, hey I wanted tattill. And we just we're

starry thing.

They designed it and they were like, right, cool, got
two artists are going to do it at the same time.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
Here you go.

Speaker 5 (24:08):
Now, this tattoo took thirty minutes. My last four tattoos
have taken six hours. Oh wow, this is just line work.
There's no shading. It was the easiest, simplest, quickest tatto.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
What did you get.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
It's just a little little sort of ornamental starzy bursting.

Speaker 3 (24:27):

I've got all these big pieces. I nearly nearly cart it,
nearly fainted, and I hadn't I hadn't eaten enough would
be the.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Rare because you're six hour ones. You were fine, you
didn't faint. No, yeah, it was fine.

Speaker 5 (25:12):
I've never fainted in the tattoo and I was like,
this is quite like full on tatoo shop. I was like,
I'll be so embarrassed around all these tattoos if during
this like quite simple, you know, very pain free tattoo.
I hit the deck, but I did. I started getting
like everyone's talking, I started getting the sweats, sweats going
and stuff, and I was like, no, one better look
at my face because I know I'm the color of

(25:32):
a ghost. And I was like turning to the wall
going Meanwhile, Jess is there on the other bed like right, like,
oh this is great, this doesn't hurt at all.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
I was like, don't faint. This would be the worst time.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
I'll lose all cred. I'll lose all tattoo cred. But anyway,
I was thinking about fainting and I didn't.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
You didn't, But I want to know when you did.

Speaker 5 (25:51):
Faint at an embarrassing time, when you were just like
please don't do this now, or you you fell in
front of someone or at a terrible high pressure moment,
like at work or a wedding, because your body just
sometimes just goes not today, Satan, it starts failing down.

of everybody, practically in the waiting room.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
No, in front of strangers.

Speaker 9 (26:53):
Yes, they were so embarrassing, and I had to keep
myself fat and be like, I'm not feeling good.

Dentist would be a place where people pass out in
the chair, even I reckon I.

Speaker 3 (27:06):

But Mum was like, just stay here, I'm going to
go get a coffee.

Speaker 7 (27:51):

The room.

Speaker 11 (28:06):
Mum took her down to a fresh coffee in her hands.
We were and I electric slided across the ground.

Speaker 4 (28:17):

a table of club sandwiches.

Speaker 5 (28:20):

like distant relative.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Anyone's like she's made a real scene here is not
about you.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
And I was a teenager, so they kind of were like, oh,
she's just trying to get attention here, or.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah, Christie, there's great, thank you tie. When did you fad?

Speaker 7 (28:42):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (28:43):
Hey, good morning.

Speaker 12 (28:47):
So a few years back I decided to go on
a lunch break to the gym and whilst I was
on a Swiss ball, I was lifting up a really
heavy way it was four kilos.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Yeah, that's my goal.

Speaker 12 (29:00):
Fell off the Swiss bowl, did a vultion fracture on
my shoulder, ended up going to the ed, ended up

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Love did on the Swiss ball? Were you just going
too hard?

Speaker 7 (29:20):
No, no, no, it was just I just high per extended.

look like I do much exercise, so you can understand
why wait, take it out, oh.

Speaker 3 (29:33):

and singing some messages and great messages coming in.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
There are so many embarrassing Someone said I found on
aeroplanes all the time if I'm hungover, which is most
times that I'm on an aeroplane. Oh yeah, we need
going home. It's a big weekend. I founded in high
school after donating blood is sitting in a chair, and
as I went down, all I could say was one
of the first fifteen boys, and I called it his
name as he Johnny Johnny Johnny, where I woke up
and pursed myself mortified, was in sex to one and

(30:08):
had spread throughout the entire school before I ever managed
to get out of the school.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
No, and you no doubt your nicknames pass Yeah, Johney.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
Lots of lots of people fainting in churches, whether they're
there for funerals or whatever.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
Somebody said.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
I took great pride in making myself a full woolen
outfit to wear to church. I wore the minute I
got in there. I was like, man, this thing doesn't breathe.
I got hotter and hotter and hotter until I passed
out and I just slid off the chair, like.

Speaker 5 (30:35):
Oh you think that like grooms, you know in churches
or something that have their suits on, and the suit's fine,
But once you're there and all the people are there,
high and restricted and nervous.

Speaker 4 (30:47):
It goes m I was fourteen and fainted in one
of my close friends hospital rooms a starship after she
just had a stroke.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
It's not about you have a stroke in a great
place to faint, there's medical help. Yeah, yeah, great position.

Speaker 4 (31:04):
I've fainted in the hospital once.

Speaker 5 (31:05):
It was perfect because my granddad had who was on
what's that blood thinning wolf Wolfrid had slid and Skidder's
shin down and I walked.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
And just as the nurse was fixing it, and I
was like.

hospital floor while my sister was in hospital and the
throes of labor and they said, we're gonna put an
epy jural in.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
He didn't even need to see the needle. He just
heard the word and it was just like.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
Again the Muhi here.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
He got propped up in a chair and had to
watch from the cud. At your child birth.

but that's why you're there, That's why you're there and
the food is to come.

Speaker 4 (31:55):

When you fainted, unopportune moment and someone said they fainted
in part of a choir and hit the piano on

air balloon and all she remembers was doing a big
fight and then she woke up on the floor.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
Is it a wicked basket?

Speaker 4 (33:40):
And I'm not going on that. I'm too fair, I'm
too fat for worker. Dude, I've been in one and
I was heaving and it's a worker out your furniture
and it's gone.

Speaker 12 (33:50):
Basket.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
Thenet Morgan.

Speaker 5 (33:54):
So many people have been messaging us about this seven
seven seven rule.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
It's everywhere online. Can you break it down for us?

Speaker 13 (34:02):
Yeah, So it's a relationship framework that someone has created
and it's just gone la la LOOPSI on social media.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
And really what they're saying is that every seven days
you go on a.

Speaker 13 (34:13):
Date with your partner, and then every seven weeks you
spend a night away together overnight, and every seven months
you take a longer vacation or you have a bit
of a getaway.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
Right, And I mean, do we need to wend to
we're going to cost a living crisis going on? I
can do a maybe a fifteen fifteen fifteen, But as this.

Speaker 5 (34:32):
Morgs is this like about in a busy world where
you know, everything's go, go go, and everyone's got their
heads down or heads in their phones and stuff. It's
about making conscious time to be together.

Speaker 13 (34:46):
Yeah, exactly, they're trying to show how important it is
actually prioritize consistent time together.

Speaker 4 (34:53):
Quality time.

Speaker 13 (34:54):
And I guess it's to slow the erosion of routine,
you know, because you just get on with everything. But
exactly to all of yours point is like it's expensive,
and if you've got kids or pets, like how do
you get away this often?

Speaker 1 (35:06):
So you know the reality of it's pretty hard.

Speaker 5 (35:08):
I date every seven days, a night away every seven weeks,
and a trip every seven months. How not that you
we should get bad news brand on the other line
to be like how we going to how we're going
to afford this? Can you with your beautiful creative mind
and all of your ideas that you have for couples,
give us a cheaper version. That doesn't mean we have
to go to barley every seven months or an airbnb

(35:30):
in a wine valley every seven weeks.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (35:34):
Well, actually what I thought might be useful is for
the Gotmans are these relationship experts, and they've done research
for over forty years, so they've actually got five daily
habits that compound over time. And I actually think it
is in the daily things that make a really good relationship.
It's not once a week, because then what the hell
happens in the other six days?

Speaker 1 (35:53):
You know?

Speaker 3 (35:53):
Which is on our phone next to each other, not
touching each other?

Speaker 5 (35:57):
Yeah, you said the word erosion before sums up a relationship.

Speaker 13 (36:05):
The five daily habits, okay, that they reckon yeap.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Is love maps. Love maps. So this means knowing your
partners in a world, so not just their favorite.

Speaker 13 (36:13):
Restaurant, but like understanding their worries, their hopes and dreams,
and so this comes down to curiosity, like asking the
right questions of them.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
Number two fondness and admiration. So you're actively looking for.

Speaker 13 (36:25):
What your partner does right and you tell them and
you like give gratitude for it.

Speaker 5 (36:30):
I feel like the next one, if you're looking for
things they do right, will be picking apart what they
do wrong.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
Have I known it?

Speaker 3 (36:37):
Marks no babes Okay, Okay, looking for the g you've got.

Speaker 13 (36:43):
To turn towards them, okay, because think about how often
people are like, oh my god, look at this, or
people touch or they want to have a laugh, or
you know, start a bit of a conversation.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
You're like, oh, I'm just doing something, or I'm you know, no,
you don't.

Speaker 13 (36:57):
Look right now because I'm just finishing a text. But
then you miss the tenis shaped cloud in the sky
that the person was trying to show you.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
What you know, something like that cloud I do.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
I personally get hurt when I'm hey, look at this
and they take too long to look.

Speaker 5 (37:11):
Yeah, I've been called out on it because I'm always
brain in nine places.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
That's the last.

Speaker 4 (37:16):
So that's a good one to remember.

Speaker 3 (37:17):
This, really good leaning in the moment.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Yeah, those are the we call them bids for connections.

Speaker 4 (37:23):
I remember that.

Speaker 13 (37:24):
It's really vital managing conflict, okay, because we're not we're
not taught how.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
To actually manage conflict.

Speaker 13 (37:31):
Well, so we're not trying to eliminate it because it's
always going to be there. And their research said that
sixty nine classic percent of relationship problems are actually perpetual problems,
so they keep coming back like they're never going to
get fully resolved. So it's actually about how you handle
those conversations, right.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
So not weaponizing historical events.

Speaker 4 (37:54):
I'm going to get a pen and painting. I'm going
to get a pen.

Speaker 13 (37:57):
Final one is shared meaning, so you're building a life
that feels like it belongs to both of you. So
you've got your rituals like it might be how you
say goodbye to each other every morning, how you greet
each other when you get back together. You've got your roles,
You've got shared like dreams, goals, just like values that
you've chosen together. So you're your own little team so
you can always come back to like your core. I

(38:19):
guess your north star as a as a relationship.

Speaker 4 (38:22):
It's nice.

Speaker 5 (38:23):
So will you say you as someone who works with
couples all the time, the seven seventh rule seven seven
seven rulers, perhaps not your cup of tea.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
You're more about the small daily habits.

Speaker 13 (38:34):
Yeah, And I also think like sometimes it's good to
have something like this in the calendar. But also we
need spontaneity. Well, it's really important for a relationship. So yeah,
we just don't want to get too structured in this
world where we're already got an overflowing to do list
and you know, Google calendar.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
Well, Morgan's before we let you go, what are people
doing in the bedroom at the moment?

Speaker 4 (38:57):
Was hot.

Speaker 13 (39:00):
Cowgirl obviously right right right?

Speaker 4 (39:04):
I said, you are a six dollar just people.

Speaker 3 (39:07):
That's the one where the horse rides the y.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
D Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
Well, mor we love you very much and thank you
for your lovely insight.

Speaker 6 (39:21):
Comt the VM podcast network play z MS Flesh one
and Haley.

Speaker 4 (39:27):
Going to a concert last night, Yes, with the youth
plural with all the youths, with all the youths went
to l A U F E Y.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
If you're going to the concert? Should you know?

Speaker 4 (39:41):
How I told her a hundred times about my daughter,
but like I get confused every time.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
In the middle it was a spark.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
It was like completely sold out, full or halfway, and
then I said something. I was like, we don't even
play any of these songs on the radio, and August
I was like, yeah, I don't think she needs you
playing your songs on the radio to sell out Spark.
I was like, okay, you want old man.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
Yeah. I was just amazed. Did you say pay for
your own take next time?

Speaker 2 (40:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (40:07):
Yeah, yeah yeah. You don't dictate what's cool radio?

Speaker 3 (40:10):
And I snatched off the lollies. I brought her from
the concierge.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
Smart amount to me, Wow, what was the medium the audience?
What what was what was like young females and Dad's
yeah right, Like I was that right beside her dad,
and he was I was vibing more than him.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
And I kept looking at him and at one stage
and just.

Speaker 4 (40:29):
Shut his eyes.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
He just leaning back a little bit.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
Just shut his eyes. I was like, my man, my man,
watch Wednesday and it's bloody nine thirty. I would have
gone out into the concourse. That's Spark or anything. Some
people were out of the concourse the bathroom at one
stage of older people out there having having a game
of badueled. Oh.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
I was just going to say, have a sleep on
those long counches. There are long gids. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
waken up when it's finished.

Speaker 4 (40:53):
Yeah, she'll be right in there. But yeah, because it's
said doors having six thirty. Activities start at seven thirty,
but seven thirty was the opening act, and then she
came on. It was open thirty a British singer song,
right British someone, and it went to ten thirty five.
Then we had to do the because you have to
check your umbrellas nixt some I'm just shoving my umbrella

(41:14):
down my pants. I will put up with a wet leg.
I'm not waiting that line for an umbrella. It only
works if you've got a smaller, small umbrella, like a little,
a little blunt situation.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 5 (41:25):
And so her number one song from the start has
one billion one point two billion stream.

Speaker 4 (41:30):
Yeah, because that's what I said. And the lad's chat
everyone's like, what's happening, And I'm like, I'm at this concert.
And then and one of them is that, how has
someone had one point two billion streams and I've never
even heard of it.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
I was like, there's hundreds of millions of streams on
the other ones.

Speaker 4 (41:44):
Yeah, yeah, it's massive. And then yeah, so the umbrella
situation at the end is my biggest gripe at the night.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
Was it just Augie your youngest that you're away and
he didn't go. Does she have a good time, a
great time?

Speaker 12 (42:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (42:01):
Right.

Speaker 4 (42:01):
She was doing the screaming thing that they do. Yeah, yeah, right,
lots of screaming. Yeah, indeed of screaming. And I know
that she had a great time. And that was like
all made it worth it when we got home at
quarter past eleven.

Speaker 3 (42:12):
And why did they make it so late?

Speaker 5 (42:15):
Knowing that the target audience was a bit younger skewed,
I just think that's the.

Speaker 3 (42:20):
Concerts are. Was anyone buying alcohol? Yeah, yeah, yeah, but
there was alcohol, a couple of beers.

Speaker 5 (42:28):
Yeah, probably the same as you know, No, not like
a bloody tool concert or something.

Speaker 4 (42:32):
I did see someone wearing a Pantera hoodie and I
was like, you've got an eclectic taste. Yeah, that's diverse.
They're varying. Probably the daughter does.

My mum was the same. Anything big, anything difficult, you

Yes, a generational thing, is that gen z millennial Because
a lot of people on the back of this like
it's absolutely okay to send a text message.

I would say more and more. Now it's an old
school thing, which is like you've got to face up
to your you know your truths and say.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
It like a man.

Speaker 5 (49:52):
I mean, I feel like a long term relationship needs
to be in person, but a lot of this is
like a text gives the person space. It doesn't demand
in me get response. It gives you a privacy.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
Certainty as well. There's no dancing around. You can cry.
You know, you've got your phone.

it was to him like coming back home after a
night out on the town.

Speaker 13 (58:08):

Speaker 11 (58:26):
Renting a room off her in the UK and my

Oh god.

Speaker 4 (58:58):
My moms went into the hospital for a really you
know this is a while ago. Didn't tell us a
week she got out. Didn't want to worry.

Speaker 3 (59:04):
I've just had a little operation.

Speaker 4 (59:06):

Didn't My mom text me to tell me my cat
died when I was at school when I was six down.
I cried in front of all my friends. I still
remind her about that twenty years on, about how inappropriate
that was.

Speaker 5 (59:43):
Not via text but email, my step mom said her cancer,
which we did know about, had reached the end and
she's got six weeks to live. Then in the same
email was like, by the way, your dad's got early
on sid ol Seimer's.

Speaker 3 (59:54):
Na mah, I'll be leaving. I'm with you, no mah, Catherine.

Speaker 4 (01:00:03):
As a slightly more professional way to break bad news,
though text is informal and sloppy, my wife got a
text from her dad saying, your mum's been moved into
a care unit, probably be dead within the week. I
guess that's it. Then that's that's the last we heard
from him four weeks ago. So she's there, still hanging
in there where he hasn't bothered texting us to tell
her she's passed.

Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
These messages are unhinged.

Speaker 4 (01:00:23):
I love this.

Speaker 5 (01:00:23):
My darling mom loves a voice note. She'd taken my
auntie to the doctor. You like like voice to text? Yep,
she had taken my auntie to the doctor as she
was in a lot of pain. I text her to
ask her, how is she reply? Was she is deceased?
My heart sank. She then realized that her voice to
text thing. She said, no, she's been assessed.

Speaker 4 (01:00:41):
Ah, she was alive. I hope this makes the air,
says this text me. I received news last week via
text that my wife was cheating on me. My friend
found them in a hotel that he works for.

Speaker 4 (01:03:56):
Well, I mean one of my favorite, my favorite facts
effect of the day of all times is that if
a female dragonfly doesn't want to reproduce them out acts
dead and just drops, just tucks its wings and just
drops like it's dead, right until it's just about hit
the ground. Then sure byby yeah, and he's like, oh God,
she's dead, but she's not. We're talking about the globe

(01:04:16):
skimmer dragonfly.

Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
Today.

Speaker 4 (01:04:18):
It crosses the Indian Ocean. It does about six thousand
kilometers over open water. It's the longest migration of any
insect on Earth. Is a dragonfly smaller than your hand.
It doesn't eat the whole way. It's it's how doesn't
it eat for that long? How long does it take
to cross the Indian oceia? Well, it's six thousand kilometers.
There's one specific ocean crossing leg. It's two and a

(01:04:39):
half thousand kilometers NonStop from the Maldives to Somalia. Wow,
that's the equivalent of fifty point seven million body lengths
without a single chance to land or rest. So scientists
are like, they can fly, they can fly well, but
they can't fly that well. So they read the wind
currents and they ride the wind currents. They leave it
at the same time every year, and they ride the
wind currents. It's a multi generational relay apparently as well.

(01:05:03):
So you remember how I was talking about the monarchs.
They kind of lay on the way and then they
keep migrating down. The first people to leave know that
they're not going to make it. Yeah, they're not going
to make it. They're just starting the journey. So the
equivalent would be that fifty point seven million body lengths,
with the average human being about one point seven meters,
it would be a human flying non stop for eighty
six thousand kilometers. That's over twice around the entire earth

(01:05:26):
that without ever touching down.

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
I'd be so hungry, I'll be sod and that long.

Speaker 4 (01:05:32):
Yeah, what are they eating. They're not really eating. They
believe they might just catch bits and pieces in the
air on the way, smaller lame dire nants. Yeah, joy
of money, you're eating the thing that when they get
in my mouth and going I'm on a bike them.

Speaker 3 (01:05:52):
Yeah, absolutely disgusting.

Speaker 4 (01:05:56):
So yeah, today's fact of the day is that the
global doming dragonfly travel a massive amount of over six
thousand climbers over open water.

Speaker 8 (01:06:07):
Fact of the day, day day day, day, Do do
do do do do do do do do doo doo
doo doo dooo doo doo dooo do do doo doo.

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
Doo Please its Fletch one.

Speaker 4 (01:06:24):
And Hale, Olivia Rogrego dropped head on cit M, flex
one and Hailey It's fourteen minutes away from nine. Every
time Flitch is.

Speaker 3 (01:06:33):
The funniest one on the show.

Speaker 4 (01:06:34):
He's always the funniest one on the show, literally the
funniest and the terms of microphones on him leave us
a mess and then looks like a professional.

Speaker 3 (01:06:42):
Yeah, well, yep, exactly, son of a gum. Do you
know what's funny?

Speaker 5 (01:06:45):
So I remember I did I do this on a
podcast that I've been invited to my first school reunion?

Speaker 3 (01:06:51):
Or did I talk about maybe you have talked about enough.

Speaker 4 (01:06:53):
I mean, this is just a lesson for anybody who's
only catching the show and not that not the pod yourself,
the podcast podcast including my heart the only professional. You
get a bit more, you get a bit extra because
they do a little bit upon every day on top
of the radio word Yeah, so I heard Spotify, Apple
review podcasts, Torn and Haily the podcast.

Speaker 5 (01:07:13):
And don't put the bell down because you may want
to follow us on our socials f H d M,
where you will see we' shend It uploaded a video
that of our show yesterday where.

Speaker 3 (01:07:22):
I did my school speech that I think was from
fourth form based on the handwriting in the vibes that
I found.

Speaker 5 (01:07:30):
I've got a box of treasures, old notes, you know, cards,
letters written and that kind of stuff. I found like
what feels like six out of twelve Q cards for
the speech that I've given about being the tall girl
delivered that you can go see it on our socials.
It was an incomplete speech. It was had one good
joke and add one good joke of it, which was

(01:07:51):
why do we when we evacuate for a fire drawer?
Why do they line us up shortest to tallest with
me at the back?

Speaker 4 (01:07:59):
What do I and slower?

Speaker 3 (01:08:01):
It's a good jug It's a good joke.

Speaker 5 (01:08:03):
Yeah, I loved it, so good stuff. Anyway, we have
been contacted via the FH Socials by Kim who is
the alumni manager at Queen Margaret College, the college that
you witness. It's the college I went to in Wellington,
Queen Margaret College. I do declare the alumni we've got

(01:08:24):
the QC Old Girls Association.

Speaker 3 (01:08:26):
Is that all the people that went there before?

Speaker 5 (01:08:28):
Yes, that's a lot alumni is yeah right, the world
cans you crash down and take to this.

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):
What do you call it a your You just leave
and don't think about it. Yeah right.

Speaker 4 (01:08:41):
We have alumni alumni email once a quarter alumni. Why
do you sign up QMC old Girls alumni? Do you
think I care if my old school has a new classroom?
You can be like because you could say something.

Speaker 3 (01:08:58):
Like that where people accused it. Yeah, you could be
broadcasting school alumna. I couldn't kill Lis alumna.

Speaker 4 (01:09:08):
Plymouth boys. They only cared about like who played rugby
at that school?

Speaker 12 (01:09:11):
True?

Speaker 3 (01:09:12):
Yeah, yeah, well.

Speaker 4 (01:09:13):
Did the Barretts go to the new Plymouth Boys?

Speaker 3 (01:09:15):
No, they were Francis Douglas.

Speaker 4 (01:09:18):
Yeah. When I was a boys tig we always beed
them at rugby. Now it's vice versa three or four
or five. All Blake's still talking like you were a
part of that r I was.

Speaker 3 (01:09:28):
In the eight or fifteen. What so you are one
hundred and twenty players are better than at least yeah,
pretty much.

Speaker 5 (01:09:41):
Kim the alumni manager at Queen Margaret College, She says,
come on, Hailey, we invite you back to que him.
So I'm the alumni manager and I think we all
need to hear the speech when you next come down,
email me back. Now I forgot she'd emailed me about
coming down as part of the reun union.

Speaker 3 (01:10:00):
And then maybe you know, having a little whoey about
this would be success.

Speaker 4 (01:10:05):
This would be a speech, your speech to the entire
school in an assembly.

Speaker 5 (01:10:11):
Do you think it would be based on the speech
I delivered yesterday, written as a thirteen or fourteen year old?
Would it be that I give that speech and then
I talk to them about my job as a professional
public speaker and say how far I've come?

Speaker 4 (01:10:27):
Or do I just give that speech no context and leave.

Speaker 3 (01:10:32):
A comedian.

Speaker 4 (01:10:34):
Content that I wrote twenty three years now. I think
you have to rework out to how it is now.

Speaker 5 (01:10:42):
Oh so do the original tall Girl speech and then
do modern day Hailey. Modern day Hailey's comedy doesn't fly
into high school, which is why my shows a consistently
rat well.

Speaker 4 (01:10:54):
It would be a good challenge for you to delete
speech to a high school.

Speaker 3 (01:10:58):
Yeah, maybe I've forgotten, Kim, I have forgotten my emails.

Speaker 4 (01:11:05):
When this is your old high school's website, Fletch, they
call it the Old Boys, Yes, the Old Boys Boys,
the old boys ass well send is I'm on the website,

Speaker 5 (01:22:41):
Guys seen the hairless cats in a miracle called Noudicrous
and Naked minaj plays that end. I just realized this
is going to require me being quite vulnerable. We have
to admit something to the listener that probably they don't
want to know about me in the current state. So yesterday,
I'm worried that I've been heard on a over an

(01:23:03):
important Zoom meeting wasn't my meeting, And my best friend Jess,
who was on the meeting.

Speaker 4 (01:23:09):
Is also unsure.

Speaker 5 (01:23:10):
Okay, So she's been staying at my house and working
at home from home remotely, and she's quite high up
in her company. Like, oh yeah, she's really really high up,
like a very important person in her workspace, and so
she's always on these Zoom calls, Like I heard another
one the other day and she used words I don't

(01:23:33):
know and a lot of corporate that was like, I'm
going to pause it. Can I ask the question of
where we're going to go with these resources? And I
was like, oh wow, I know a very different version
of her.

Speaker 3 (01:23:43):
It's weird when you see your friends working, you're like,
stop at you, fraud, I've seen everything of you.

Speaker 5 (01:23:50):
Anyway, So I didn't realize yesterday when I got home
that she was in the middle of a Zoom meeting.
I just saw her sitting at the table. She had
literally a pods in and I walk in and I
opened the door, and the first thing I do, which
is not common for me, I burped.

Speaker 3 (01:24:05):
Okay, but Burt came.

Speaker 5 (01:24:06):
Out and I was like, And then immediately I said, man,
do you know I haven't pooped in three days?

Speaker 3 (01:24:16):
It's crack. I haven't put in three days? Which is
your best friend? This all?

Speaker 4 (01:24:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:24:25):
She usually would be like, holy Molly, like let's go
get some prunes, or like let's go do this, or
like she'd tell me about her poop that morning. But no,
she did the instant ear tap. You know, I'm on
a meeting of a situation, and yet it's TBC whether
or not they heard me say, man, I haven't pooped

(01:24:47):
in three days, But no one said.

Speaker 3 (01:24:49):
No one said anything. But you know she didn't. She
just didn't come to it. And I don't I don't
know when clocked did. I think you're just going to
make sure?

Speaker 4 (01:24:59):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (01:24:59):
What say? Also, I haven't pooped.

Speaker 4 (01:25:01):

really eaten. I have some food, some good like fibrous
food through me today.

I went to Consco.

Speaker 3 (01:25:15):
You don't need a Costco cib pretty hard.

Speaker 5 (01:25:18):
You won't be able to stop pooping if you had
a Costco size bag of prunes.

Speaker 3 (01:25:22):
I haven't for three days, so I feel like I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:25:25):
Just the fletch and haleyd.

Speaker 3 (01:25:31):
Sometimes when Vorn picks me up, by the way, can
you pick me out tomorrow? I'm not drinking tonight. I've
just got a plan in play.

Speaker 4 (01:25:37):
Remind me you're flying out or you're driving. Oh no,
see remember the last time he.

Speaker 5 (01:25:41):
Forgot and he's forgot me and I walked into the
office at five to being on ere and then I.

Speaker 3 (01:25:47):
Had two cars in town. Was your fault, though, because
you do need to remind Vorn eight times. I remember
him every I remind him every time, and that time
I'm just like, I don't need to remind him.

Speaker 4 (01:25:55):
Here, that's porridge.

Speaker 3 (01:26:00):
I will remind you.

Speaker 5 (01:26:01):
But anyway, when sometimes I get into Vorney's car and
he's got a podcast on and he's listening at double speed, No,
it's not double speed.

Speaker 4 (01:26:07):
I listen to voice notes at double speed unless it's
one of your quick talking mates, like.

Speaker 3 (01:26:13):
A one point five speed for a voice one point,
you do too on a podcast. But I was told
did you guys need to notice that?

Speaker 4 (01:26:25):
I was told off for listening to audio books fast
because that's an artist.

Speaker 3 (01:26:30):
Yeah, that's how it should be received.

Speaker 4 (01:26:33):
Maybe a smidge depending on who's reading it, you might
need a smidge fast.

Speaker 5 (01:26:37):
Sometimes I hear you listening it'll be doctor Shawn and
be like, Oh, we're gonna go, We're gonna go to this.

Speaker 3 (01:26:42):
It stresses me out.

Speaker 5 (01:26:45):
So the bad habit, the bad habit is speeding up videos.
So in twenty twenty three, right TikTok introduce the feature
you can watch things in two times YouTube you can
as well, Yeah, right, you can watch things never. That's
insanity to man. But there was a woman who said
she watches everything in two speed and it's kind of

(01:27:05):
like played with her hair because she sat there in
the Odyssey being.

Speaker 4 (01:27:08):
Like, God, I would love to that's not good, like.

Speaker 5 (01:27:14):
That's not this masterpiece and not being a wang it
like it was long for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:27:19):
I were like, oh, yeah, it's it's going on about
in it.

Speaker 5 (01:27:21):
But she's sitting there being like I am struggling with
the tempo that the slight master of the craft is
seet out for me because I watch everything in two speed.
There was a twenty twenty five study that said speeding
up videos can hurt memory retention. So it's coming in,
but it's not even if you listen to a podcast, like,
you're not retaining it the same if you were digesting
it at a proper level. Sixty four percent of Americans

(01:27:43):
say they watch things on two.

Speaker 4 (01:27:45):
Speed when they have the chance.

Speaker 5 (01:27:48):
It's exhausting and overstimulating for the brain, but it is
an upside. Now, we've talked lots about screen time. People
on their social media do scrolling screen time. There has
been a study that's done that says people who watch
things in two time overall are on their phones less

(01:28:09):
because they're watching the same amount of content but at
twice the speed, and because it's so overstimulating and stress injuicing,
you're like, oh shit, I need to break quicker than
us who are just going slow scroll, slow scroll.

Speaker 3 (01:28:22):
So it's like the both side of the bad habit.

Speaker 4 (01:28:26):
But it's bad because it's obviously stressing you out, so
it's pumping up your corn, which is making you realize
that you should stop watching. But you've had a flood
of stress hormone.

Speaker 5 (01:28:35):
Yes, but then stress screen time pre sleep is a
poorer sleep, anxiety and depression causer. So if you're getting
to be going quickly like and then down, you're getting
more sleep, whereas if you're just scrolling all night you
can be there for hours. Anyway, this isn't advice, by
the way, I'm not like pro two times there.

Speaker 3 (01:28:54):
Not pro stressing yourself out of necessarily.

Speaker 5 (01:28:57):
I'm obviously pro that, but I feel like it's if
you're watching a movie and struggling because it's not at
two speed.

Speaker 3 (01:29:04):
You've got a problem moment.

Speaker 4 (01:29:06):
It's like pull back a bit.

Speaker 13 (01:29:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:29:09):
Another podcast in the bag, the Plastic Bag. Are they back?

Speaker 4 (01:29:13):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:29:13):
No, still band? They never left? Where you come in
with the lineborn boy.

Speaker 4 (01:29:19):
Man, if you enjoyed that, okay, oh and if you
enjoyed it, give us a writing and a review and
be sure to tell all of your friends, God, I
need some sleep. Play Zidim's Fletchborn and Haley
