Speaker 1 (00:00):
Look, I don't know enough about it.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Have you ever had both?
Speaker 1 (00:02):
No, I've thought about protox. Yeah, I definitely thought about
it then recommended it. But I'll see you one day.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Yeah, one day maybe aging like a fine one.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I am.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I wasn't saying.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Oh thanks Anna, I heard it come from it. Good
morning Anna.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello. How are you feeling today?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I'm good. I'm actually feeling quite wow. How about you?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yeah, I feel good. I had a good night's sleep. Swede,
I don't know what is going on with his sleep,
but for the past like four days, he's having like
a regression where he's been waking up every two hours
and it's been tough.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Why.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I don't know why. Well, he's a baby. Sometimes they
go through little growth spurts and they just need to
eat constantly.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Sleeping down pretty well.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
He's sleeping now, but like probably because he's been up
all night. So I'm like holding onto my coffee for
dear life.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
The coffee actually probably and energy drink would be good
right now.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, I definitely need a holiday. Michael and I have
actually been looking into going on a holiday with Swede.
So originally he had four weeks of paternity leave that
he could have taken and then in the midst of
his paternity, we were like, should we save a week?
So he ended up taking three weeks instead of four weeks,
so we have an extra week of paternity leave. And
(01:26):
obviously during my pregnancy, I could not travel because I
was low in Rebella, so I couldn't go international. But
now I'm not pregnant.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Well, I've seen you post some stuff in your calendar
because I'm in your calendar, and I asked.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
You so annoying that you're in my calendar. You know
things anyone.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Really came up and I was like, oh, are you
going to I'm not going to say where, and you
were like, Oh, it's just you're planning on it, yeah,
manifesting it.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, I put I put the holiday in the calendar
before anything's been booked, so I.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Thought you were going because you put it in there.
So if I put something in my calendar, it's confirmed.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Literally, everything that I put in my calendar is confirmed
except this holiday. But in my mind it's mentally confirmed
because we want to take sway away, so we're trying
to figure out a good place to take a baby.
He'll be four months at the time.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Wow. Power of manifesting.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Hey, it's happening, but like it's hard to know where
to travel with a baby. And something that is actually
really pissing off is like where we would normally stay.
I didn't realize at the time, but it's adults only places. Yeah,
And like now that I'm thinking about it, I'm like, oh, yeah,
there was like no kids around. But now that we
(02:37):
have a baby. I like because at the start, when
I was looking on booking dot Com, I would like
put in where we wanted to go, and all the
hotels would come up, and I was like, oh fuck,
I need to put that there's a baby coming, and
all those places were disappearing, and I was.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Like, what's surely they let it a thing for a newborn.
It's different than like, you know, a four year old
and five years old.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I don't know, but like babies can be really unsettled
and cry a lot, so they're thinking maybe it's like
ruining the ambiance of their place the hotel.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Need I need to pook a holiday later this year.
I'm just trying to figure out where or what I
want to do.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
You should definitely go on a holiday.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, clear my head, I was thinking to go to
Bali for like a retreat just a week.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
That would be awesome. Yeah, Thailand.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I've never been to Thailand.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
You can do really cool like meditation retreats in Thailand.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Just clear my head and find myself. Yeah, no phone,
just cut offrom the outside world.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I could go to like the Buddhist monk retreats. And
then some people choose to go silent for a few days.
Imagine you're going. Imagine, imagine you just observe everyone around you,
you know what, That would be your biggest test.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
That'd be a big challenge.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
You enter a room and you like, are the loudest.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Person in the room talking everyone work the room? Yeah,
I don't know. I would struggle with that.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But imagine just like observing people for once.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well I observe them, but in a different way.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Sometimes they say that the quietest people in the room
are the smartest.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Actually, I had my mate. Someone asked my mate about
me and they were like, he's not the sharpest. Is
he the sharpest tool in the shed? And my mate
said na, And he told me and I said, well,
definitely not the sharpest, but definitely the shiniest.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Really done something there, and in saying.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
That, makes me the sharpest. I was all about myself
after that. I was like, that's so funny. But granted, yeah,
granted it was someone just trying to take being mean
about it.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I think that you're smarter than a lot of people
give you credit for me. I think it's because of
your humor, Like you take the piss out of yourself.
It's like a really dry sense of humor that not
a lot of people get.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
People don't get it. Yeah, a lot of people don't
get it.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I feel like our listeners would get it. Like I
think that people who've listened to Where's your Head At
for a long time get me a sense of human
I agree.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I agree. Yeah, people who've listened and know me, yeah,
it would get it.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
People who might meet you, like on a one off they.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Might be like, yeah, this guy's from Yeah. And people
that were tuning into like one episode or something and
just trying to like, you know, listen for stuff'd be like, oh,
he's a bit. But people who know it would get it.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
And like your sense of humor as well. I feel
like you like love to like talk yourself up or
you'll be like, oh I'm so attractive or something. But
I think that people would not realize that you are
actually in some ways have a lot of insecurities and
it's something that you say as part of your like
hoping coping mechanism. Would you say it's part of your humor?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
For definitely, like.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Your alter ego, Charlie.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Mathew, the man that won the genetic lottery.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
That won the genetic lottery, this is Matt's wrestling alter ego,
Like it's part of that.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, it's just my humor. A lot of my mates
will say to people like you, when you get to
actually know him and sit down with him, is nothing
like that sort of like he's just a simple guy,
just chats normally.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Just grab yourself for one word, a simple guy. It's
not basic bitch, basic bitch. Okay man, I've been doing
a lot of online shopping obviously, Swayed, like I said,
has been up every two hours, and you know I
either have been turning on the TV. I've been watching
movies in the middle of the night. Yeah yeah, no,
(06:09):
I'll like go on to Netflix or Onto like Crime,
Amazon Prime. Huh.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I'm saying, what's on the TV, like on channel nine.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, there's like online shopping. I mean I've turned on
a TV sucks, like the middle of the night TV
is horrible, but yeah, I'll go into like Amazon Prime.
I've been watching Team Mum on there or whatever it is.
And yeah, I've been watching movies. I've been watching shows.
But something else I've been doing is online shopping.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yes, and I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
The other day I was hearing something about bow cancer
and how a lot of young people have been getting
diagnosed with bow cancer in our generation. And it used
to be something that I think the Australian government gives
people over fifty years.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Old unless your parent has had it, then you get
it at thirty. One of my exites had to do it. Interesting,
my mum called me as well about this. It's funny
you say it's common in your age group now blah
blah blah, go get tested.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, So, like in the middle of the night, I
don't know why I was thinking about bow cancer, but
I was like, I'm gonna order Michael and I the
test to do the stool sample, and so yeah, I
just got a notification on my phone then that said
it's on its way. That's how I brought this up.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I they say that like this this generation isn't eating fibers,
I said as well, like unprocessed meats like salami, twiggy sticks, pepperoni.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
It's a carcinogenic.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I'm a fucking whore for that, though. I do things
for twiggy sticks.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I try, I've been I love pepperoni and pizza like
that's my go to, like love it, I love it,
but yeah, I've been trying my best to move away
from that. Even bacon is really bad.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Fear well, they I've learned that those there's some of
those now, twiggy like stried meat sticks that are high
as in protein, so I would just snack on one
of them sometimes. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I did see something that said, like we eat so
much protein, but you need to be really eating whole foods.
Like there's so many health companies out there being like,
have a cookie that's hid in protein, and then people
are like, yeah, protein, protein, protein, but I don't know
balance diets.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Matt showing as muscles all the protein.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I e. Balance diets where it's at for sure?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah, I love her. I just I love those protein cookies.
So you're saying that, yeah, I love that really, the
white chip one, the chocolate chip, the white I don't
like chocolate. Oh, white chocolate, white chocolate chip one, it's
so good. So it's coming. You're gonna do the boar test.
Do you want to tell us about this boar test when
it's done?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah? I think you just like have to pooh in
like a bag thing test the test the sample and
then send it off or maybe it comes I think
maybe it comes up like a COVID test, it's positive
or negative.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Oh, I don't know when I had a coalie that time,
just randomly, well it was back when I got back
from BALI remember, Yeah, I did have to do a
stool test. Yeah, let's not talk about it on you.
People don't want to hear it.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Well like people laugh about it. But whatever, like's if
you're going to like it could help you, so so
dead it don't. Let's get the sell test going stel test.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
So we're going to do a Q and A on
today's episode, Anna, But before we jump into that, I
want to get where your head is at on this.
So I have some stuff and I want to ask
you if you prefer the hard or soft versions of them.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Obviously I had no idea this was coming.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Some of it right, hard or soft tacos hard really
soft all the way, but I like.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
The combo, like you know that, let's do both.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Ye yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
When I'm getting tacos, we do both.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Soft all the way. But I do like a hard
taco right, but it crumbles and then it's just annoying
to eat.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
And it's annoying to eat, but I still love it.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Right. Have you ever had a hard one? Deep fried?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It's one of my favorite that does sound great? Extra crispy, okay?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Hard or soft ice cream?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Hard? Really hard ice cream? I hate solg the ice cream.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Soft serve ice cream so hard ones you can put
stuff in them, No, like hard so okay.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
So what Matt's saying he's showed me the photo is
hard is like you know when you get the scooper, Yeah,
and you scoop it out. Or the soft one is
a soft serve from like a McDonald's. In that case,
I would choose the soft serve.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, soft better.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Do you know what I've just realized? Yes, when I
was pregnant, I was not allowed to eat soft serve
because there's a chance you can get listeria from that,
and that's one of the things I have not had yet.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
And I'm gonna have one to get fifty cent cone
on the way out.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I love a MacDonald's fifty cents.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I always order it as fifty cent cone and they're
always like, oh no, it's not fifty cents, and I'm like, no,
but I want the fifty cent one. Just look, gag
I do. Okay? Hard or soft pretzels?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Okay, so Matt's showing me a picture. The hard ones
are like the ones in the packet that literally snap,
and then the soft ones are like the dough bakery version. Yeah, bakery,
I'm going to go bakery version.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Really no, I'm not a fan of either.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
He's not really a fan of it.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
If I had to go one, i'd probably go the
hard ones. I would. I've had a soft one in
New York and I just just went in a flavor,
a little bit of salt, and the rest is just dowey.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
See that's a dream that you've went to New York
and done that or got it? Did you get a
New York pizza slice?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Oh that was all we were eating in the end
because we had no money. So we're just getting ninety ninercents.
Want me to wake up? Slice?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Hard or soft bacon.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Oh soft ooh Okay, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
An all oil dripping off it.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yeah, give Carson Jennic. We don't want to do that. Okay,
I'm going to say soft bacon if I'm having like
a bacon roll. But what I will say is when
I went on the Virgin Voyager, Yeah, they had this
crispy bacon and it was caramelized or maple syrupolized, and
it was the most delicious thing that I've ever put
(11:59):
in my mouth.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I might buttle on that and go, yeah, that that
would be.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
It's so good. It was literally like I can still
taste how good that was in my mouth.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I don't mind when it's hard and then it comes
soft with the fat like it's both. Yeah, that's dream.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah. I forgot about that bacon. Yea.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
We're leaning into foods right now, but I'm going to
lean into another one. Pillows hard or soft medium. I
reckon medium too hard, it's no good soft in a
hotel room. I lose my I have to double do it. Yeah,
I hate them soft.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, I have to go medium.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Cookies hard or soft soft and warm? Yeah, heated soft
eggs hard hardboid. I had one the other day. I
actually really liked it. Yeah, love it hard or soft?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Hard or soft?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Let us know on Facebook our Facebook page if you
have any more anymore. Yeah. So this week, Anna, we
got you guys to ask us where our heads are at.
So we put up a question box on our Instagram page.
We got a lot of questions. You guys wanted to
know a lot about us.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Let's jump into that.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Now, let's do.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
It, Okay, Matt, first question that's come through. This came
through a lot, and it's just how you're going.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah. Look, I said it on a couple of episodes ago,
and I'll stand by. Healing isn't linear. It's not like
just a straight path. It comes and goes in waves.
That Dan Louis song, I did think that was a
great analogy for it. Analogy, analogy, analogy, I'm sucking up today,
(13:38):
analogy for it. I really think that that was a
good one. I think the main thing where I'm finding
my healing is I'm finding peace in the piece, in
sitting there in peace, and I think that's what's getting
me through it. Mostly. I've tried a lot of different
things to heal. I've done a lot of therapy. I
(14:01):
found that very much is awesome. I recommend therapy to anyone.
I've joined Facebook groups, so I've joined liked communities where
I've found that they're going through the same thing as me,
and I read other people's stories and it helps validate
what I'm going through and what I've been going through.
You haven't commented on anything I follow different.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
You don't comment on it.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I don't. I just read it. I'm a lurker and
I'll read them.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Let's not self proclaim that.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
But like, I'm not going on these Facebook groups and
commenting my story, reading other peoples and I'm understanding. What
I've actually found was pretty good was I've been journaling,
so I would journal a lot. I really recommend that
as well. As I've been writing messages, but I haven't
been sending them. So I've been writing them, so I'm
getting that out and then not sending them. So and
(14:45):
voice notes, I mean, I did a lot of voice
notes for a bit that I was just so I
felt like I was getting it out of my system.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, I actually totally think that works. Like sometimes if
I hold something in that's upsetting me and just don't
verbalize it, it really like starts to get to me,
and it starts to eat me alive. And then I
feel like if I tell Michael or I tell you
all my family or whatever, it is as soon as
you say things out loud, it's almost like it's released
(15:11):
from your body. It's like such a weightlifted.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I didn't want to do that too much in telling
everyone everything, so I felt like, if I'm doing these,
I'm at least I've deleted some of the voice notes,
like A'm I going to go back and listen to
it just for like you said, to get it out. Yeah,
I was saying to blake before. I Actually when I
was I don't remember if it was this time when
I was leaving the sauna, I was crying on the
way home and it was raining, and I pulled over
at a park and I got out and just stood
(15:36):
there in the rain and just was crying and let
the rain to the sky. It wasn't that dramatic, I saw.
I just stood there and let the rain hit my
face and it felt like it was like washing everything
away because I was already wet from the sauna and
I just sitting there and I just it felt so good.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
That does sound nice.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, it was a movie scene. Yeah, that was probably
that going from my head the same time. Yeah, you
know they say like you're looking out the window to
a sad song driving along in the rain. Now, I
just I just saw, I thought of myself and I
just sat and I stood there and I just let
it wash me away and I was and I felt
good afterwards, how nice, you know what.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I was actually walking Swede. We went to a cafe
and he had like a little rain thing over us,
so he was fine over his prim But I was
walking in the rain the other day and it was lovely.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Well you're not worried about getting wet, so you just
sit standing in and I just was like letting it
just hit me every drop, and I just felt so
I was.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Like, it's hair washed day tonight anyway, so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Another one I did is that the full moon the
other day was the strawberry full moon. Yeah, and it
was apparently had to go out and look at it.
I read this on Instagram and TikTok and you had
to look at it and say what you let go of?
So I looked at it and I and I was
like saying, stuff, I let go of and I was
just yelling it all out at the moon, yelling it.
I like my neighbors couldn't hear it, but I was
like saying it, you know what I mean, like procrming it.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Literally thinks it's in like a Hollywood movie.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I let go. No, it's you know, I'm not trying
to make it sound so dramatic. I'm just you know,
I was having He's just in his fields. Good. Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
How important has your friendship been for each other?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Very important? I consider you one of my best friends,
and talking to you, I find a lot of peace.
You're very wise of what you say. Nine percent of
the time you've been right.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
So yeah, I think for me, our friendship has been
super important. And I think just for postpartum, I think
when I have stayed home with the baby all day,
by the end of that day, I've gone like quite
stir crazy. And I think, like even just me getting
out of the house once during the day, he's really
good for my mental health. And I think coming into
(17:34):
the podcast has definitely been really nice. And I'm so
lucky that my mum is sitting in the other room
watching Suede and it is so happy to do that,
and if she can't make it, Michael's mum said she
will do the same thing. So I think I'm so
lucky that I have that support that I can come
into this podcast and do that. And then obviously talking
to you, we always have a laugh. We can joke around,
(17:56):
like I think we are so different, but then we
just love like taking the piss and having fun, so
it works.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Okay, what are your thoughts on the current season of
Love Island USA? I love this question.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
You've been watching it, haven't you.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I was seeing actually you were sending me youah, the
tiktoks have gone super viral, and yeah, I was like,
you know what I'm getting Stan, And I've started watching
it and me and Michael have a loved it, and
just watching one episode tonight is so good postpartum because
(18:33):
sometimes you just want to watch stuff that isn't serious.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
What's the deal with Hooter? Yeah, it's just like because
from what.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
I saw, as bad as TikTok makes it like she's
not that like she's crazy, but she's not as crazy
as I feel like just some of the scenes make
her look. But it's just interesting watching it and it's
interesting even, just like discussing people's relationships with Michael and
being like, what do you think of this? And what
do you think of that person? And how they handled
this situation?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
And I saw her hood of things and I thought
it was quite quite well. I thought she was being
quite toxic. But I didn't watch the whole episodes.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I just saw the little Yeah, they're little parts. I mean,
I think like you have to really like know the
whole situation.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
That's the danger, isn't it of seeing stuff like that?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Are you gonna watch it?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
You never do? I never do. I will probably even lie.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I mean maybe this season of Love Island Australia, I
think it's coming out soon.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Interesting, we could watch it.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Maybe we might see some Goldie.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Bee that'd be exciting. Man. When's it filming? We don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I think it's filming in like August or something.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Exciting. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Okay, have you guys ever felt like you're nailing adulting?
If so, at what age asking for a twenty four
year old girlie who is lost? Help?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
No, I've never felt like I'm nailing it. I think
twenty when I turned twenty four was my favorite, My
favorite year. It was when I started to understand a
lot more life. I had a significant breakup started the
year and later on that year on too Love Island.
And I think that like it shaped me as a
person to understand, and I think that of who I
(20:07):
was and what I am. So I think, just keep
going every year you learn. Yeah, I've said this before
on the podcast. If I look back at my inner
dialogue from six months ago, completely different to now, then
let alone twelve months, eighteen months, completely different person and
it continues to change.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Yeah, And I actually think like everything that happens to
you makes you the person that you end up being.
And like, do I feel like I'm nailing adulting in
some ways? Yes, But then I feel like there's been
so many like highs and lows that have brought me
to this point. And I think, yeah, you're right, like
(20:44):
learning each lesson that you need to learn. Yeah, Like
I'm thirty three as well, and I think like sometimes
things might be really good at one point, but it
can just take one thing to happen it shall pass
that and it totally can like derail.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
You for sure.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
And so I think it's just about riding the wave
and realizing that no one really has it figured out?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
No one does, like you can pretend they do, don't.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah, like our parents are just people who had kids,
you know. Like I think everyone's trying to work shit
out and we're all on this journey together.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Someone would life they said they fully had it, can
figure it out.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
But I think it's I think I like like the
person who I am, and I think that's like something
that I would say. It makes me feel like I'm
nailing it because there's been times when I'm like, oh
I could have done better here, I could do better there.
But I think as long as you like the person
you are, I feel like you're I think it's I was.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
About to say, if you're growing and evolving and you're
not stuck and you're not like, well, no, I'm not wrong,
this isn't I'm still the best person, you know.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
What I mean.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I continue to grow.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And I think she's twenty four, like give yourself. You
give yourself a break, like you're you're killing it and
you know, learn from your mistake, say yes to things
like do crazy things. Just enjoy life. Yeah, I live
your life. Okay, Anna, how did you tell Matt you'd
first given birth to Swede? How did I tell you?
(22:14):
I saw your calendar, but I went in earlier than
the calendar.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I feel like I knew that. Yeah, I don't remember
how you told.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I started having contractions and.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
For four days or four days, yeah, and then I
think you just told me you're going in tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Did I just send you a message?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
You just sent photos? Yeah? And the name yeah, yeah, yeah,
because I knew you're going in the next day, and
I think I sent you good luck.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, that's right. No, we spoke the day before on
the phone.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah, the next day for me, and we're talking about it,
and then we're talking about you.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
That's right. Yeah. I was cooking dinner. Michael had went
for a run. I was cooking dinner. We're on the phone,
and then I was like, I'm giving birth tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, I vaguely remember that.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
How crazy is that?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Nuts?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
That was only eight weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
It feels like longer.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It does feel like longer.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
A lot has happened.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
A lot has happened.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Yeah, and then the next day you sent me on
trying to think what I was doing that day.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
No, it wasn't the next day. It would have been
a couple of days later.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Was it you'd know, probably better than me. I remember, Yeah,
it was it was a significant moment.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
It was nice for you to see the phone.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Yeah, it was nice. Yeah, and what did you think
of his name? I honestly, I just a name. I
knew yours was going to be out there. I'm not
I don't judge about that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Matt. What have you learned about yourself in this life
stage and moving back to Melbourne.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
I've learned that you're resilient. I believe that, like, no
matter what, you just got to keep going. I also
learned that, like my friends and family are very important
to me. Me being back here in Melbourne, I literally
caught up for my mates for a coffee and just
laughing with them and hanging out with them. Realized I
missed that a lot and that was something that I enjoyed. Yeah,
(24:05):
I mean I've learned a lot. Right now on the spot,
I can't hear anything else, but yeah, there's a lot
of lessons that I've learned in the last couple of weeks,
especially and months before that.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Yep, has your friendship changed since Anna became a mom?
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Yeah, you don't answer my phones regularly. Far from that.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I knew you were going to say that.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
You don't answer my eight am call and then my four.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Pm because I have a crying BAPM.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
But from that, no, nothing's changed. I wouldn't say no.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, no, I think it's just like we probably would
talk less because I have a lot of attention on sway. Okay,
how are you finding your thirties?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
That?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Would you do a thirty lessons you've learned before thirty?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Should I do that? I completely forgot about doing that.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I did that. I feel like you should definitely do that.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I'm going to do that. I'll go home and write
some down. Do it done? Yeah, I've done. Okay, I
think that'd be coming soon.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Guys, Anna, are you going to go back to piller
now you've given birth? Would love an episode on this
and procedures in general. I am fanging to get some botox.
Do you think I was gonna say that?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
No, I don't know. I honestly know nothing about botox
or filler.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yes, when you're breastfeeding, you cannot get any botox, so
I have to wait until after I stop breastfeeding to
get my first injections of botox. But yeah, I miss it.
I've been doing skin. I just miss like my face
looking a bit more frozen and having less facial expressions
(25:38):
and wrinkles. I mean, I have the smallest forehead of
all time, so like, I don't need a lot of botox,
but I just think it looks like so I like,
I like botox, just a little bit of botox. Like
the thing is is when you get pregnant, like before,
when you're trying to have a baby, you don't really
want to get botox because obviously you don't want to,
(26:02):
you know whatever. And then when you're pregnant for like
nine to ten months, you can't get botox, and then
when you're breastfeeding you can't get botox. You end up
not having it for a really long time. And I
was getting it, like I don't know, maybe every four
to five months. So yeah, I kind of miss it.
My friend got botox the other day and she's like, look,
my botox is kicked in, and I was like, daddy,
(26:22):
look good, you look good.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I don't rub it in. I know nothing about botox,
so I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Like there is times when I look at my face
and I'm like, I think sometimes I did overdo the botox,
and like you can look a bit frozen, and it
can make you look a bit older. It's like now
that I'm getting like I have full facial movement.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah. Probably, Look, I don't know enough about it.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Have you ever had botox?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
No, I've forgot about BROTOXA. Definitely thought about it being
recommended it, but I'll see one day.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Yeah, one day maybe aging like a fine one I am.
I wasn't saying much.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Oh, thanks, An, I heard it come from it, talk it.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I love it. Okay, Matt, how have you found that
Anna and Michael have handled parenthood.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
And you guys were naturals at it. I knew that
you would be, and from what I've seen you guys
have been doing well.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Appreciate that. Anna. How has your sex life been with
Michael post pregnancy? This is so interesting because I went
to my OSSIO appointment and she was kind of like
checking me out postpartum, seeing how my scar was healing,
seeing if I was going to be okay to go
back to pilates and exercise. And I did get the
all clear, but one of the one of the questions
(27:34):
that she asked me was have you and Michael had
sex yet? And I was like, no, we haven't had
sex and it was that was at the six week appointment,
but yeah, I was like and then I was thinking
about it and I was like, fuck, we actually haven't
had sex for so long. But it's so hard, like
once you have a baby, like all of your energy
and focuses on the baby. And I remember hearing parents
say this, and I was like, Oh, that's gonna suck
(27:55):
for you. But now that I'm in it, I'm like,
it's not that bad, Like it is what it is. Anyway,
we were like talking about it and we were like,
we should like have sex, but we did.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Did you make a time and date for it?
Speaker 2 (28:06):
We kind of like yeah, we like, we're like we
should have sex, and then we're like should we And
then we were like fuck it, and then we like
did it. And it was really painful. I'm not kidding.
It was so sore, like Postazairian section is. It was
not comfortable. It's quite a low down.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Scar, goes through multiple stuff, go through muscle, yeah, go.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Through like seven or eight layers of skin. They pull
the muscle to the side, you know what I mean,
and then they stitch it back up.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah, So then it felt like i'd been stitched up.
It wasn't that, it wasn't that comfortable. We will try
again and I'll get back to you now, guys, but
it's been once okay, So that's all we have time for.
Thanks for being so open and.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Honest, Mat, thanks for sending in your questions.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Guys, shate it until next time. Bye, mhm
Look, I don't know enough about it.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Have you ever had both?
Speaker 1 (00:02):
No, I've thought about protox. Yeah, I definitely thought about
it then recommended it. But I'll see you one day.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Yeah, one day maybe aging like a fine one.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I am.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I wasn't saying.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Oh thanks Anna, I heard it come from it. Good
morning Anna.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello. How are you feeling today?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I'm good. I'm actually feeling quite wow. How about you?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yeah, I feel good. I had a good night's sleep. Swede,
I don't know what is going on with his sleep,
but for the past like four days, he's having like
a regression where he's been waking up every two hours
and it's been tough.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Why.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I don't know why. Well, he's a baby. Sometimes they
go through little growth spurts and they just need to
eat constantly.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Sleeping down pretty well.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
He's sleeping now, but like probably because he's been up
all night. So I'm like holding onto my coffee for
dear life.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
The coffee actually probably and energy drink would be good
right now.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, I definitely need a holiday. Michael and I have
actually been looking into going on a holiday with Swede.
So originally he had four weeks of paternity leave that
he could have taken and then in the midst of
his paternity, we were like, should we save a week?
So he ended up taking three weeks instead of four weeks,
so we have an extra week of paternity leave. And
(01:26):
obviously during my pregnancy, I could not travel because I
was low in Rebella, so I couldn't go international. But
now I'm not pregnant.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Well, I've seen you post some stuff in your calendar
because I'm in your calendar, and I asked.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
You so annoying that you're in my calendar. You know
things anyone.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Really came up and I was like, oh, are you
going to I'm not going to say where, and you
were like, Oh, it's just you're planning on it, yeah,
manifesting it.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, I put I put the holiday in the calendar
before anything's been booked, so I.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Thought you were going because you put it in there.
So if I put something in my calendar, it's confirmed.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Literally, everything that I put in my calendar is confirmed
except this holiday. But in my mind it's mentally confirmed
because we want to take sway away, so we're trying
to figure out a good place to take a baby.
He'll be four months at the time.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Wow. Power of manifesting.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Hey, it's happening, but like it's hard to know where
to travel with a baby. And something that is actually
really pissing off is like where we would normally stay.
I didn't realize at the time, but it's adults only places. Yeah,
And like now that I'm thinking about it, I'm like, oh, yeah,
there was like no kids around. But now that we
(02:37):
have a baby. I like because at the start, when
I was looking on booking dot Com, I would like
put in where we wanted to go, and all the
hotels would come up, and I was like, oh fuck,
I need to put that there's a baby coming, and
all those places were disappearing, and I was.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Like, what's surely they let it a thing for a newborn.
It's different than like, you know, a four year old
and five years old.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I don't know, but like babies can be really unsettled
and cry a lot, so they're thinking maybe it's like
ruining the ambiance of their place the hotel.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Need I need to pook a holiday later this year.
I'm just trying to figure out where or what I
want to do.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
You should definitely go on a holiday.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, clear my head, I was thinking to go to
Bali for like a retreat just a week.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
That would be awesome. Yeah, Thailand.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I've never been to Thailand.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
You can do really cool like meditation retreats in Thailand.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Just clear my head and find myself. Yeah, no phone,
just cut offrom the outside world.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I could go to like the Buddhist monk retreats. And
then some people choose to go silent for a few days.
Imagine you're going. Imagine, imagine you just observe everyone around you,
you know what, That would be your biggest test.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
That'd be a big challenge.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
You enter a room and you like, are the loudest.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Person in the room talking everyone work the room? Yeah,
I don't know. I would struggle with that.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But imagine just like observing people for once.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well I observe them, but in a different way.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Sometimes they say that the quietest people in the room
are the smartest.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Actually, I had my mate. Someone asked my mate about
me and they were like, he's not the sharpest. Is
he the sharpest tool in the shed? And my mate
said na, And he told me and I said, well,
definitely not the sharpest, but definitely the shiniest.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Really done something there, and in saying.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
That, makes me the sharpest. I was all about myself
after that. I was like, that's so funny. But granted, yeah,
granted it was someone just trying to take being mean
about it.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I think that you're smarter than a lot of people
give you credit for me. I think it's because of
your humor, Like you take the piss out of yourself.
It's like a really dry sense of humor that not
a lot of people get.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
People don't get it. Yeah, a lot of people don't
get it.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I feel like our listeners would get it. Like I
think that people who've listened to Where's your Head At
for a long time get me a sense of human
I agree.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I agree. Yeah, people who've listened and know me, yeah,
it would get it.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
People who might meet you, like on a one off they.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Might be like, yeah, this guy's from Yeah. And people
that were tuning into like one episode or something and
just trying to like, you know, listen for stuff'd be like, oh,
he's a bit. But people who know it would get it.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
And like your sense of humor as well. I feel
like you like love to like talk yourself up or
you'll be like, oh I'm so attractive or something. But
I think that people would not realize that you are
actually in some ways have a lot of insecurities and
it's something that you say as part of your like
hoping coping mechanism. Would you say it's part of your humor?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
For definitely, like.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Your alter ego, Charlie.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Mathew, the man that won the genetic lottery.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
That won the genetic lottery, this is Matt's wrestling alter ego,
Like it's part of that.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, it's just my humor. A lot of my mates
will say to people like you, when you get to
actually know him and sit down with him, is nothing
like that sort of like he's just a simple guy,
just chats normally.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Just grab yourself for one word, a simple guy. It's
not basic bitch, basic bitch. Okay man, I've been doing
a lot of online shopping obviously, Swayed, like I said,
has been up every two hours, and you know I
either have been turning on the TV. I've been watching
movies in the middle of the night. Yeah yeah, no,
(06:09):
I'll like go on to Netflix or Onto like Crime,
Amazon Prime. Huh.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I'm saying, what's on the TV, like on channel nine.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, there's like online shopping. I mean I've turned on
a TV sucks, like the middle of the night TV
is horrible, but yeah, I'll go into like Amazon Prime.
I've been watching Team Mum on there or whatever it is.
And yeah, I've been watching movies. I've been watching shows.
But something else I've been doing is online shopping.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yes, and I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
The other day I was hearing something about bow cancer
and how a lot of young people have been getting
diagnosed with bow cancer in our generation. And it used
to be something that I think the Australian government gives
people over fifty years.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Old unless your parent has had it, then you get
it at thirty. One of my exites had to do it. Interesting,
my mum called me as well about this. It's funny
you say it's common in your age group now blah
blah blah, go get tested.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, So, like in the middle of the night, I
don't know why I was thinking about bow cancer, but
I was like, I'm gonna order Michael and I the
test to do the stool sample, and so yeah, I
just got a notification on my phone then that said
it's on its way. That's how I brought this up.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I they say that like this this generation isn't eating fibers,
I said as well, like unprocessed meats like salami, twiggy sticks, pepperoni.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
It's a carcinogenic.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I'm a fucking whore for that, though. I do things
for twiggy sticks.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I try, I've been I love pepperoni and pizza like
that's my go to, like love it, I love it,
but yeah, I've been trying my best to move away
from that. Even bacon is really bad.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Fear well, they I've learned that those there's some of
those now, twiggy like stried meat sticks that are high
as in protein, so I would just snack on one
of them sometimes. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I did see something that said, like we eat so
much protein, but you need to be really eating whole foods.
Like there's so many health companies out there being like,
have a cookie that's hid in protein, and then people
are like, yeah, protein, protein, protein, but I don't know
balance diets.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Matt showing as muscles all the protein.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I e. Balance diets where it's at for sure?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah, I love her. I just I love those protein cookies.
So you're saying that, yeah, I love that really, the
white chip one, the chocolate chip, the white I don't
like chocolate. Oh, white chocolate, white chocolate chip one, it's
so good. So it's coming. You're gonna do the boar test.
Do you want to tell us about this boar test when
it's done?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah? I think you just like have to pooh in
like a bag thing test the test the sample and
then send it off or maybe it comes I think
maybe it comes up like a COVID test, it's positive
or negative.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Oh, I don't know when I had a coalie that time,
just randomly, well it was back when I got back
from BALI remember, Yeah, I did have to do a
stool test. Yeah, let's not talk about it on you.
People don't want to hear it.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Well like people laugh about it. But whatever, like's if
you're going to like it could help you, so so
dead it don't. Let's get the sell test going stel test.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
So we're going to do a Q and A on
today's episode, Anna, But before we jump into that, I
want to get where your head is at on this.
So I have some stuff and I want to ask
you if you prefer the hard or soft versions of them.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Obviously I had no idea this was coming.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Some of it right, hard or soft tacos hard really
soft all the way, but I like.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
The combo, like you know that, let's do both.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Ye yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
When I'm getting tacos, we do both.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Soft all the way. But I do like a hard
taco right, but it crumbles and then it's just annoying
to eat.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
And it's annoying to eat, but I still love it.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Right. Have you ever had a hard one? Deep fried?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It's one of my favorite that does sound great? Extra crispy, okay?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Hard or soft ice cream?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Hard? Really hard ice cream? I hate solg the ice cream.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Soft serve ice cream so hard ones you can put
stuff in them, No, like hard so okay.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
So what Matt's saying he's showed me the photo is
hard is like you know when you get the scooper, Yeah,
and you scoop it out. Or the soft one is
a soft serve from like a McDonald's. In that case,
I would choose the soft serve.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, soft better.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Do you know what I've just realized? Yes, when I
was pregnant, I was not allowed to eat soft serve
because there's a chance you can get listeria from that,
and that's one of the things I have not had yet.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
And I'm gonna have one to get fifty cent cone
on the way out.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I love a MacDonald's fifty cents.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I always order it as fifty cent cone and they're
always like, oh no, it's not fifty cents, and I'm like, no,
but I want the fifty cent one. Just look, gag
I do. Okay? Hard or soft pretzels?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Okay, so Matt's showing me a picture. The hard ones
are like the ones in the packet that literally snap,
and then the soft ones are like the dough bakery version. Yeah, bakery,
I'm going to go bakery version.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Really no, I'm not a fan of either.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
He's not really a fan of it.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
If I had to go one, i'd probably go the
hard ones. I would. I've had a soft one in
New York and I just just went in a flavor,
a little bit of salt, and the rest is just dowey.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
See that's a dream that you've went to New York
and done that or got it? Did you get a
New York pizza slice?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Oh that was all we were eating in the end
because we had no money. So we're just getting ninety ninercents.
Want me to wake up? Slice?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Hard or soft bacon.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Oh soft ooh Okay, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
An all oil dripping off it.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yeah, give Carson Jennic. We don't want to do that. Okay,
I'm going to say soft bacon if I'm having like
a bacon roll. But what I will say is when
I went on the Virgin Voyager, Yeah, they had this
crispy bacon and it was caramelized or maple syrupolized, and
it was the most delicious thing that I've ever put
(11:59):
in my mouth.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I might buttle on that and go, yeah, that that
would be.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
It's so good. It was literally like I can still
taste how good that was in my mouth.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I don't mind when it's hard and then it comes
soft with the fat like it's both. Yeah, that's dream.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah. I forgot about that bacon. Yea.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
We're leaning into foods right now, but I'm going to
lean into another one. Pillows hard or soft medium. I
reckon medium too hard, it's no good soft in a
hotel room. I lose my I have to double do it. Yeah,
I hate them soft.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, I have to go medium.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Cookies hard or soft soft and warm? Yeah, heated soft
eggs hard hardboid. I had one the other day. I
actually really liked it. Yeah, love it hard or soft?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Hard or soft?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Let us know on Facebook our Facebook page if you
have any more anymore. Yeah. So this week, Anna, we
got you guys to ask us where our heads are at.
So we put up a question box on our Instagram page.
We got a lot of questions. You guys wanted to
know a lot about us.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Let's jump into that.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Now, let's do.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
It, Okay, Matt, first question that's come through. This came
through a lot, and it's just how you're going.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah. Look, I said it on a couple of episodes ago,
and I'll stand by. Healing isn't linear. It's not like
just a straight path. It comes and goes in waves.
That Dan Louis song, I did think that was a
great analogy for it. Analogy, analogy, analogy, I'm sucking up today,
(13:38):
analogy for it. I really think that that was a
good one. I think the main thing where I'm finding
my healing is I'm finding peace in the piece, in
sitting there in peace, and I think that's what's getting
me through it. Mostly. I've tried a lot of different
things to heal. I've done a lot of therapy. I
(14:01):
found that very much is awesome. I recommend therapy to anyone.
I've joined Facebook groups, so I've joined liked communities where
I've found that they're going through the same thing as me,
and I read other people's stories and it helps validate
what I'm going through and what I've been going through.
You haven't commented on anything I follow different.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
You don't comment on it.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I don't. I just read it. I'm a lurker and
I'll read them.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Let's not self proclaim that.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
But like, I'm not going on these Facebook groups and
commenting my story, reading other peoples and I'm understanding. What
I've actually found was pretty good was I've been journaling,
so I would journal a lot. I really recommend that
as well. As I've been writing messages, but I haven't
been sending them. So I've been writing them, so I'm
getting that out and then not sending them. So and
(14:45):
voice notes, I mean, I did a lot of voice
notes for a bit that I was just so I
felt like I was getting it out of my system.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, I actually totally think that works. Like sometimes if
I hold something in that's upsetting me and just don't
verbalize it, it really like starts to get to me,
and it starts to eat me alive. And then I
feel like if I tell Michael or I tell you
all my family or whatever, it is as soon as
you say things out loud, it's almost like it's released
(15:11):
from your body. It's like such a weightlifted.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I didn't want to do that too much in telling
everyone everything, so I felt like, if I'm doing these,
I'm at least I've deleted some of the voice notes,
like A'm I going to go back and listen to
it just for like you said, to get it out. Yeah,
I was saying to blake before. I Actually when I
was I don't remember if it was this time when
I was leaving the sauna, I was crying on the
way home and it was raining, and I pulled over
at a park and I got out and just stood
(15:36):
there in the rain and just was crying and let
the rain to the sky. It wasn't that dramatic, I saw.
I just stood there and let the rain hit my
face and it felt like it was like washing everything
away because I was already wet from the sauna and
I just sitting there and I just it felt so good.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
That does sound nice.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, it was a movie scene. Yeah, that was probably
that going from my head the same time. Yeah, you
know they say like you're looking out the window to
a sad song driving along in the rain. Now, I
just I just saw, I thought of myself and I
just sat and I stood there and I just let
it wash me away and I was and I felt
good afterwards, how nice, you know what.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I was actually walking Swede. We went to a cafe
and he had like a little rain thing over us,
so he was fine over his prim But I was
walking in the rain the other day and it was lovely.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Well you're not worried about getting wet, so you just
sit standing in and I just was like letting it
just hit me every drop, and I just felt so
I was.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Like, it's hair washed day tonight anyway, so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Another one I did is that the full moon the
other day was the strawberry full moon. Yeah, and it
was apparently had to go out and look at it.
I read this on Instagram and TikTok and you had
to look at it and say what you let go of?
So I looked at it and I and I was
like saying, stuff, I let go of and I was
just yelling it all out at the moon, yelling it.
I like my neighbors couldn't hear it, but I was
like saying it, you know what I mean, like procrming it.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Literally thinks it's in like a Hollywood movie.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I let go. No, it's you know, I'm not trying
to make it sound so dramatic. I'm just you know,
I was having He's just in his fields. Good. Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
How important has your friendship been for each other?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Very important? I consider you one of my best friends,
and talking to you, I find a lot of peace.
You're very wise of what you say. Nine percent of
the time you've been right.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
So yeah, I think for me, our friendship has been
super important. And I think just for postpartum, I think
when I have stayed home with the baby all day,
by the end of that day, I've gone like quite
stir crazy. And I think, like even just me getting
out of the house once during the day, he's really
good for my mental health. And I think coming into
(17:34):
the podcast has definitely been really nice. And I'm so
lucky that my mum is sitting in the other room
watching Suede and it is so happy to do that,
and if she can't make it, Michael's mum said she
will do the same thing. So I think I'm so
lucky that I have that support that I can come
into this podcast and do that. And then obviously talking
to you, we always have a laugh. We can joke around,
(17:56):
like I think we are so different, but then we
just love like taking the piss and having fun, so
it works.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Okay, what are your thoughts on the current season of
Love Island USA? I love this question.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
You've been watching it, haven't you.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I was seeing actually you were sending me youah, the
tiktoks have gone super viral, and yeah, I was like,
you know what I'm getting Stan, And I've started watching
it and me and Michael have a loved it, and
just watching one episode tonight is so good postpartum because
(18:33):
sometimes you just want to watch stuff that isn't serious.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
What's the deal with Hooter? Yeah, it's just like because
from what.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
I saw, as bad as TikTok makes it like she's
not that like she's crazy, but she's not as crazy
as I feel like just some of the scenes make
her look. But it's just interesting watching it and it's
interesting even, just like discussing people's relationships with Michael and
being like, what do you think of this? And what
do you think of that person? And how they handled
this situation?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
And I saw her hood of things and I thought
it was quite quite well. I thought she was being
quite toxic. But I didn't watch the whole episodes.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I just saw the little Yeah, they're little parts. I mean,
I think like you have to really like know the
whole situation.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
That's the danger, isn't it of seeing stuff like that?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Are you gonna watch it?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
You never do? I never do. I will probably even lie.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I mean maybe this season of Love Island Australia, I
think it's coming out soon.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Interesting, we could watch it.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Maybe we might see some Goldie.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Bee that'd be exciting. Man. When's it filming? We don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I think it's filming in like August or something.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Exciting. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Okay, have you guys ever felt like you're nailing adulting?
If so, at what age asking for a twenty four
year old girlie who is lost? Help?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
No, I've never felt like I'm nailing it. I think
twenty when I turned twenty four was my favorite, My
favorite year. It was when I started to understand a
lot more life. I had a significant breakup started the
year and later on that year on too Love Island.
And I think that like it shaped me as a
person to understand, and I think that of who I
(20:07):
was and what I am. So I think, just keep
going every year you learn. Yeah, I've said this before
on the podcast. If I look back at my inner
dialogue from six months ago, completely different to now, then
let alone twelve months, eighteen months, completely different person and
it continues to change.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Yeah, And I actually think like everything that happens to
you makes you the person that you end up being.
And like, do I feel like I'm nailing adulting in
some ways? Yes, But then I feel like there's been
so many like highs and lows that have brought me
to this point. And I think, yeah, you're right, like
(20:44):
learning each lesson that you need to learn. Yeah, Like
I'm thirty three as well, and I think like sometimes
things might be really good at one point, but it
can just take one thing to happen it shall pass
that and it totally can like derail.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
You for sure.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
And so I think it's just about riding the wave
and realizing that no one really has it figured out?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
No one does, like you can pretend they do, don't.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah, like our parents are just people who had kids,
you know. Like I think everyone's trying to work shit
out and we're all on this journey together.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Someone would life they said they fully had it, can
figure it out.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
But I think it's I think I like like the
person who I am, and I think that's like something
that I would say. It makes me feel like I'm
nailing it because there's been times when I'm like, oh
I could have done better here, I could do better there.
But I think as long as you like the person
you are, I feel like you're I think it's I was.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
About to say, if you're growing and evolving and you're
not stuck and you're not like, well, no, I'm not wrong,
this isn't I'm still the best person, you know.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
What I mean.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I continue to grow.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And I think she's twenty four, like give yourself. You
give yourself a break, like you're you're killing it and
you know, learn from your mistake, say yes to things
like do crazy things. Just enjoy life. Yeah, I live
your life. Okay, Anna, how did you tell Matt you'd
first given birth to Swede? How did I tell you?
(22:14):
I saw your calendar, but I went in earlier than
the calendar.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I feel like I knew that. Yeah, I don't remember
how you told.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I started having contractions and.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
For four days or four days, yeah, and then I
think you just told me you're going in tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Did I just send you a message?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
You just sent photos? Yeah? And the name yeah, yeah, yeah,
because I knew you're going in the next day, and
I think I sent you good luck.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, that's right. No, we spoke the day before on
the phone.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah, the next day for me, and we're talking about it,
and then we're talking about you.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
That's right. Yeah. I was cooking dinner. Michael had went
for a run. I was cooking dinner. We're on the phone,
and then I was like, I'm giving birth tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, I vaguely remember that.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
How crazy is that?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Nuts?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
That was only eight weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
It feels like longer.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It does feel like longer.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
A lot has happened.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
A lot has happened.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Yeah, and then the next day you sent me on
trying to think what I was doing that day.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
No, it wasn't the next day. It would have been
a couple of days later.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Was it you'd know, probably better than me. I remember, Yeah,
it was it was a significant moment.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
It was nice for you to see the phone.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Yeah, it was nice. Yeah, and what did you think
of his name? I honestly, I just a name. I
knew yours was going to be out there. I'm not
I don't judge about that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Matt. What have you learned about yourself in this life
stage and moving back to Melbourne.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
I've learned that you're resilient. I believe that, like, no
matter what, you just got to keep going. I also
learned that, like my friends and family are very important
to me. Me being back here in Melbourne, I literally
caught up for my mates for a coffee and just
laughing with them and hanging out with them. Realized I
missed that a lot and that was something that I enjoyed. Yeah,
(24:05):
I mean I've learned a lot. Right now on the spot,
I can't hear anything else, but yeah, there's a lot
of lessons that I've learned in the last couple of weeks,
especially and months before that.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Yep, has your friendship changed since Anna became a mom?
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Yeah, you don't answer my phones regularly. Far from that.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I knew you were going to say that.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
You don't answer my eight am call and then my four.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Pm because I have a crying BAPM.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
But from that, no, nothing's changed. I wouldn't say no.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, no, I think it's just like we probably would
talk less because I have a lot of attention on sway. Okay,
how are you finding your thirties?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
That?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Would you do a thirty lessons you've learned before thirty?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Should I do that? I completely forgot about doing that.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I did that. I feel like you should definitely do that.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I'm going to do that. I'll go home and write
some down. Do it done? Yeah, I've done. Okay, I
think that'd be coming soon.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Guys, Anna, are you going to go back to piller
now you've given birth? Would love an episode on this
and procedures in general. I am fanging to get some botox.
Do you think I was gonna say that?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
No, I don't know. I honestly know nothing about botox
or filler.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yes, when you're breastfeeding, you cannot get any botox, so
I have to wait until after I stop breastfeeding to
get my first injections of botox. But yeah, I miss it.
I've been doing skin. I just miss like my face
looking a bit more frozen and having less facial expressions
(25:38):
and wrinkles. I mean, I have the smallest forehead of
all time, so like, I don't need a lot of botox,
but I just think it looks like so I like,
I like botox, just a little bit of botox. Like
the thing is is when you get pregnant, like before,
when you're trying to have a baby, you don't really
want to get botox because obviously you don't want to,
(26:02):
you know whatever. And then when you're pregnant for like
nine to ten months, you can't get botox, and then
when you're breastfeeding you can't get botox. You end up
not having it for a really long time. And I
was getting it, like I don't know, maybe every four
to five months. So yeah, I kind of miss it.
My friend got botox the other day and she's like, look,
my botox is kicked in, and I was like, daddy,
(26:22):
look good, you look good.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I don't rub it in. I know nothing about botox,
so I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Like there is times when I look at my face
and I'm like, I think sometimes I did overdo the botox,
and like you can look a bit frozen, and it
can make you look a bit older. It's like now
that I'm getting like I have full facial movement.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah. Probably, Look, I don't know enough about it.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Have you ever had botox?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
No, I've forgot about BROTOXA. Definitely thought about it being
recommended it, but I'll see one day.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Yeah, one day maybe aging like a fine one I am.
I wasn't saying much.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Oh, thanks, An, I heard it come from it, talk it.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I love it. Okay, Matt, how have you found that
Anna and Michael have handled parenthood.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
And you guys were naturals at it. I knew that
you would be, and from what I've seen you guys
have been doing well.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Appreciate that. Anna. How has your sex life been with
Michael post pregnancy? This is so interesting because I went
to my OSSIO appointment and she was kind of like
checking me out postpartum, seeing how my scar was healing,
seeing if I was going to be okay to go
back to pilates and exercise. And I did get the
all clear, but one of the one of the questions
(27:34):
that she asked me was have you and Michael had
sex yet? And I was like, no, we haven't had
sex and it was that was at the six week appointment,
but yeah, I was like and then I was thinking
about it and I was like, fuck, we actually haven't
had sex for so long. But it's so hard, like
once you have a baby, like all of your energy
and focuses on the baby. And I remember hearing parents
say this, and I was like, Oh, that's gonna suck
(27:55):
for you. But now that I'm in it, I'm like,
it's not that bad, Like it is what it is. Anyway,
we were like talking about it and we were like,
we should like have sex, but we did.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Did you make a time and date for it?
Speaker 2 (28:06):
We kind of like yeah, we like, we're like we
should have sex, and then we're like should we And
then we were like fuck it, and then we like
did it. And it was really painful. I'm not kidding.
It was so sore, like Postazairian section is. It was
not comfortable. It's quite a low down.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Scar, goes through multiple stuff, go through muscle, yeah, go.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Through like seven or eight layers of skin. They pull
the muscle to the side, you know what I mean,
and then they stitch it back up.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah, So then it felt like i'd been stitched up.
It wasn't that, it wasn't that comfortable. We will try
again and I'll get back to you now, guys, but
it's been once okay, So that's all we have time for.
Thanks for being so open and.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Honest, Mat, thanks for sending in your questions.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Guys, shate it until next time. Bye, mhm
