THE MANOSPHERE MADE US DO IT! - A Tangent.

This week, Georgia is joined again by her sister Bridie for what was supposed to be a structured discussion about the Netflix Manosphere Documentary… and very quickly turned into one hour of completely unfiltered opinions.

We talk about the rise of the Manosphere, the fear-based narratives behind it, and the personalities shaping the conversation online — with plenty of side tangents, questionable takes, and sibling energy throughout.

If you’ve seen the documentary (or don’t want to), this is your chaotic debrief. Im deeply grateful for you support

Special shout out to our Patreon Members Of The Week! Im deeply grateful to my patrons for backing this podcast and keeping the stories coming!

Bridie 0:00

Hi, my name is Georgia. I'm Black. Oh, I'm bridie. I'm georgias sister . Do do do do do.

Georgia 0:12

Welcome to Nurse Ratchet Podcast. Yet again, my name is Georgia and today we have ....(intro music) So I watched the Manosphere last night. Late last night, early morning, because I remembered last minute. Oh my god. When tucked myself into bed, and then I was like, fuck, I have to watch the manosphere. So I did that. So straight away, I just feel like here's my here's my recapped thoughts. Okay. I made notes, made dot points. My overall take is that the red pill movement is just basically a business model, obviously.

Bridie 1:08

Oh yeah, absolutely.

Georgia 1:09

Obviously.

Bridie 1:09

It's it's like a male version of a pyramid scheme. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty much. It feeds on outrage. Yeah. And belittling wives.

Georgia 1:22

Yeah. You know, outrage equals engagement equals money. And that's literally social media strategies.

Bridie 1:28

Yeah, well, that first guy, he's like, I hate her, I'd never hang out with her. But she has like 13 million followers, so I'm gonna hang out with her.

Georgia 1:34

Oh, he he, his name is Harrison, and I gave him a nickname. Harrison Sullivan, the mum-approved menace. Dicky Tockie. Ticky Tockie. What the fuck even is that?

Bridie 1:45

Like, wow, that's the most manliest man there.

Georgia 1:47

Also manly, manly, manly vibes. Manly-esque. Like, I honestly couldn't wrap my head around him and what he was deep down on the inside. But he was just be it. That's how I felt about all of them. Except for Louis. Like, oh my god, Louie was such a darling. He's so good. And he got so many good ones. And just, you know, prodding a little bit. And these fragile men got up in arms, especially Harrison, about his prodding. I mean, firstly, the fact that he was all like forthcoming, this Harrison guy, the first guy, about his life and his ethos and all of that. And then when his followers go, hey, heads up, Louis Thoreau, he exposes. Yeah, he does this. Yeah. Why wouldn't you do that fucking research beforehand?

Bridie 2:39

I know. That's what I thought too. I thought, who was taking an interview without knowing who you're talking to?

Georgia 2:44

Exactly. Do some fucking background research.

Bridie 2:46

Like idiots. A little Google would have solved like the first thing that comes up is like is exposes on like white supremacy and like prisons and things like that. Like he's not here for a good time. No, no.

Georgia 2:59

He investigates poor choices. Yeah. To just get a clear understanding of why you would choose something so terrible. Yeah, but the thing is, he's always very um diplomatic in the way that he approaches his questions and very mild, and people tend to like him, but not these men. Oh, I've noticed like every single fucking man has like a daddy issue or a mummy issue. None of them have dads. Yeah, what's that about? Love that for them because they always put that on women. She's got daddy issues. I know, right? But their dad's completely absent, so they're like the man of the house. But as I was saying, with like Harrison, he he doesn't know who he is. No. He's got to the point where he's trying to get engagement so hard that he'll do anything. Like bash people on camera? What even was that? Yeah, I don't know. What was that? And he was all like, oh no, I took it off, and then the clips are everywhere.

Bridie 3:48

Like, yeah, you put something on the internet, it's on the internet. Like, yeah, but I feel like his people clipped it and like of course.

Georgia 3:55

Like he he'll just use anything. It's for clout. And the next day he's all like, oh nah, like sand off ish because he realized who Louis Thara was. Meanwhile, he's already clocked you. He was really hot and cold. He was so cold. He's such a little bitch. Yeah, and then in front of his mum. I know. And I she confused me too because the way that he presented her in on the first day was like, no, she would never put up with any of this. Like, and I was like, okay, so you were sort of raised right. And then she turns up and then she's all like, not loving what he's saying, but also very defensive of him. Yeah. Mum-approved menace. And she like turned on fucking Louis. Like, everyone calm down on Louis. Yeah, Louis's just back off my man. Like, that's a real man, by the way. BTW, if you really want to know what a real man is, that that should exist in the manosphere and teach other men. Louis Thoreau.

Bridie 4:45

Yeah, someone who genuinely thinks that people women are people and aren't bred to be bloody side pieces.

Georgia 4:53

And deserve to be asked to be in a video of the thing.

Bridie 4:56

Oh, the thing that got me cocksucking was the podcast guy who was like, Are you willing to be someone's side piece because you only earn this much and you your expectations are too high and yada yada? I was just flawed by that. I was like, excuse me?

Georgia 5:14

She has a job where she earns. Yeah. Well, let's talk about them in order. The fucking ginger and the friend. That's the ginger of the ginger. Oh, Mr. I'm so deep. I'm so deep. Yep. And I have a one-sided monogamous relationship. That's not perfectly fine. That's a polygamy. And technically, I'm not married according to the state, but my wife thinks that we're married. And I've got two kids. Yeah, he he made me sad. And like I feel like he's really sad.

Bridie 5:46

They're all really sad. Yeah. But I felt like he just really needed a really good hug.

Georgia 5:52

He needs therapy. Yeah. And he needs to not think so seriously about himself. Like the way he got out of his fucking souped-up car, Louie's like, nice car. And he's like, success is not about the car. I just want to emphasize the car is not an epitome of success and it doesn't signify my success. My one million dollar car means nothing about it. Yeah, yeah. It doesn't show anything like that. And I'm like, okay, so are you gonna give us an example of actual success or are you just gonna fucking drop that hot potato and leave it there to rot?

Bridie 6:24

Like it's not a sign of success. Why are you not going around the toy like a Toyota?

Georgia 6:28

Why are you wearing a fucking tweed suit two sizes too small if you're not trying to fucking show off cunt? And also, Mr. $30 million man, why are you in a rental? Make it make sense. Go buy a house. The fuck? I think seriously overstating his net worth. That being said, I did look into him and he did start out well, it was football star to Manosphere Pipeline, but in between he started his own business. So he did earn his own money without social media.

Bridie 6:58

Yeah, but his business might be worth that much. He may not be.

Georgia 7:02

Yeah, correct.

Bridie 7:03

It's like when they say like Taylor's um records and her, you know, tracks are worth this much. It doesn't mean that she has that much in the bank. It means that that's what they are worth if she sold them.

Georgia 7:17

You don't think Taylor's a billionaire?

Bridie 7:19

Oh, I think she's a billionaire. Yeah, totally. But I don't think that like she's like a trillion billionaire. No, I don't know if she has a trillion billionaire. But she, you know, like saying someone's worth is not like I am worth more money because I own my house, but I don't have my house worth of money in the bank. Yeah. Because it's an asset. Gotcha. I hear and my business earns more than I do. Yeah. Yeah. So my business is worth far more than I am.

Georgia 7:46

Yes, it's true. And I'm the only one working there. Exactly. And he might be in a fuck ton of debt. Oh yeah. And he might have got that car on fucking, what is it? When you put it on top of like your business or on top of your your house, what's that called? Equity.

Bridie 7:59

Oh, an equity. Equity. Yeah.

Georgia 8:01

So it could all be that.

Bridie 8:02

Yeah. It could be in fucking mountains of debt. Oh, absolutely. I would I wish everyone walked around with how much debt they had written above their heads. Oh my god. It would feel so good. It would be so validating. I mean, mine would be significant because I have a house. Just thinking of that through fully for a second. I'm also like mortgages don't count.

Georgia 8:19

And like, because that's kind of a flex, if you ask me.

Bridie 8:23

Well, it's my only debt, so I'm like.

Georgia 8:24

Well, my debt is university, Bills. What don't you have a I had a full scholarship. A hex. Oh, that's right, Mrs. Smiley Pants. My brother had cancer. They gave you wait, they gave you a scholarship because special circumstances. Because I still got a high ATAR when I was barely there. It was entirely on your own.

Bridie 8:43

It was it was a high score while in extenu extenuating circumstances. Oh a bit of a bit of a mix.

Georgia 8:51

Yeah. Okay. Back to Harrison. He also called her mummy. Did anyone catch that? Yes.

Bridie 8:57

Tummy, I don't want my juice. I know. She's like, I'm gonna go to the juice shop. I don't want a juice.

Georgia 9:02

Oh my god, how old are you? Can you fucking pick a personality and stick with it, pretty much? You know, I don't think he can none of them know who they are, I don't think. Yeah, like and what's with his mate luring predators, quote unquote. Like the in-between guy from like from the UK? Yeah, what's his name? I can't remember. He was he was only like very brief.

Bridie 9:23

Um yeah, but he's not even luring people that are actually he's luring people that have been accused or have been someone's told him. Yeah, he's not actually using and then they beat the proper channels like and it's like, dude, call the police. Yeah, or like just maybe wait till they're actually prosecuted, or we have like solid evidence against it. Yeah. Because otherwise you're just bashing randoms on the street.

Georgia 9:52

Yeah, and you could end up in jail, much like fucking Harrison with his smashed up car. This guy's a fucking walking nightmare. Disaster, dumpster fire. Um, and he needs to just stop.

Bridie 10:03

My favorite thing was when Louie asked when Louie asked the girlfriend and was like, what's your favourite thing about it? Oh my god, and she was like, His money. I mean, yeah.

Georgia 10:13

I mean the realest thing ever. Absolutely. He's like, I don't even like that bitch.

Bridie 10:18

Okay. He's got a kid now.

Georgia 10:19

Just keep her run.

Bridie 10:20

He's got a um kid since then, yeah. Oh.

Georgia 10:24

Not with her though. I hope not. Um so Justin Waller was the guy, the $30 million man, Empire CEO with a lease agreement type vibes.

unknown 10:33

Yeah.

Georgia 10:33

Um what did I have a get on him? He's a he's a builder who pivoted into building a personal brand. Um he claims 30 million, he claims traditional values. Um It's not traditional. Like you're not gonna be able to do that. What is traditional if you're not monogamous? Why that's not traditional.

Bridie 10:52

Like I'm all for polygam polyg polygamy, but it's gotta be absolutely as long as it's everybody and everyone's okay with it and everything. Wherein you're you're forcing women to be monogamous, but you still get to sleep with others. That's just being an arsehole.

Georgia 11:06

Yeah, it's giving he wants control and flexibility. Yeah. Over everything. And and they all are like that. Myron Gaines as well with his fucking girlfriend who since dumped him. I know.

Bridie 11:19

I thought she looked up on my TikTok recently, actually. Was she saying anything about it? Yeah, I can't remember what she said, but she was like, Yeah, he's an asshole. Like, she has a a healthy relationship now, apparently.

Georgia 11:31

Good, good for her. Good for her. Define healthy because you were. I'm pretty sure they're monogamous. They're monogamous. Let's start there. I mean, there's nowhere but up if you come from Mara Games, that's how you mean throw a throw a ball in a room and anyone it hits is better. The founder of the Fresh and Fit podcast, aka the innocent until proven female podcast. Have you seen those clips? The way immediately he goes in on these women, and the way he was being all sneaky about his fucking recruiter. You know, oh my god, that made me laugh. She's like, oh, I'm said too much.

Bridie 12:07

I'm not allowed to talk to you.

Georgia 12:09

Oh my god, Myron, I'm so sorry. It was my vagina. You know? Constantly getting in the way. In the way. Apparently, according to him, he went from federal law enforcement to online persona. So he's a failed cop. Federal, apparently, yeah. That's that's that's out of his mouth. I don't I yeah, there was no evidence. Look, good for him. Yeah, yay, him. Um, except he goes straight to fucking perpetuating misogyny and violent crimes towards women because of his rhetoric. Yeah, make it make sense.

Bridie 12:40

When they turn up and they're like, Oh, my dishwasher's here.

Georgia 12:42

I'm like, nah, ick, massive fucking ick. That was the first guy. Yeah. He's just an um anyway. Um, but he just specifically brings on women to embarrass them. Yeah, and belittles them.

Bridie 12:56

And it's ridiculous. He's belitting belittling the people that have extreme success. Like yeah, the girl that was there and she's earning heaps of money and she's on OnlyFans, but she's making money. Yeah, she's making it killing it. She's killing it. And he's like, Yeah, but you're disgusting. And I'm like, you literally can't stay faithful to one woman, but okay.

Georgia 13:17

Meanwhile, Harrison, the first guy, we're back at him again, he fucking has like this um telegram with like links to fucking OnlyFans accounts, and then he like goes in on the OnlyFans model saying it's disgusting and I would disown my daughter if she ever did that. Yeah, because But he profits off OnlyFans models. So make it make sense, you're a fucking hypocrite. Pick a lane, pick a lane.

Bridie 13:39

Yeah, like, but he just wants the profits. He doesn't care how he gets the profits. He just he's willing to sell his soul for money.

Georgia 13:44

Yeah, and he doesn't give a fuck who knows it as well, which is pretty I mean, honest, I guess. In a way. Bold? Bold assumble. Okay, so what have I got about Marin Gaines and his little minion Walter Walter Weeks? Walter Weeks? They both go in on women and just b belittle them for functioning and existing. Existing without a man in their life, um, and even with they'll they'll say the men are fucking bitches if they're with women like that, and it's just like you don't actually know what the fuck you're talking about. I just found it the whole thing really funny, to be honest. They were all so ridiculous that I couldn't get upset.

Bridie 14:24

Well, the thing that just upset me was the fact that these people exist.

Georgia 14:27

And like I know that it's just like But uh yeah, it was kind of reassuring because it's kind of like it is the Manisphere red pill ideology, and it's very they're all sort of intertwined with each other.

Bridie 14:38

Like they stitch each other's videos and they kind of sort of niche. It's niche. Yeah, but the problem is that you know, like the biggest one is Andrew Tate, and it's the young kids that watch their videos. Yeah, that's the bit that terrifies me. Harrison's all like, oh, the parents should be working like your literally target audience is 13-year-old parents.

Georgia 15:02

And at the end, he's literally taking a photo with like a tween.

Bridie 15:05

Yeah, like and the kids all come up to them and they're like, Oh my god, I love you.

Georgia 15:10

Yeah, yeah.

Bridie 15:10

And I'm like, No, I'm not sure. Hello, they're all 13.

Georgia 15:13

Like poor, poor boys, like yeah, and that's the thing, they're very impressionable minds. And even if if tweens weren't watching it, it's still young adults are still very impressionable. Oh, yeah, very dumb, especially very naive.

Bridie 15:26

Like men's development, like delayed, delayed. Like 13, no shade. Like it's just like a biological fact that men maturity and stuff develop later than women, isn't it? Isn't that a biological thing? Yeah, it is. Yeah, um brain-wise. Yeah, like fully formed adult brains.

Georgia 15:46

Yep. So like they're sponges. The fun thing about all of this is that they make their money through like secondhand platforms because they get demonetized all the time, like the main ones. Like they can't be monetized on YouTube unless they're getting super chats. Do you know what a super chat is? No, someone fucking pays to have their comment read aloud. Oh my god, really? Yeah, so someone like pays them 99 bucks or whatever to read out a misogynistic thing and they will. Um, but yeah, women brought on to be embarrassed, monetized humiliation via YouTube, Snapchats, and courses. Yeah, and his girlfriend Angie, she just looks uncomfortable. Yeah, she I felt sad for her. When Louis brought up the fact that Myron is all about the one-sided monogamy and he wants multiple wives, that was the thing she was uncomfortable with. She was like, Is that actually legal in America? In Utah it is.

Bridie 16:36

Yeah, because that's where the Mormons are. Yeah, yeah.

Georgia 16:38

So I would imagine So it's like a city. Sort of amazing. Go and see Book of Mormon.

Bridie 16:45

Yeah, because I didn't think it was legal. Because they're all in LA and stuff, aren't they?

Georgia 16:51

Oh, and Miami. Miami is part of is apparently the spirit of the fucking manosphere. Because they're speech. Whatever that means, I thought it would be LA, but you know, it's overflowed they got kicked out of LA, apparently. LA is too forward, too progressive. Yeah, yeah. Um, also, Myron's real name is not Myron.

Bridie 17:09

Why would you pick Myron? It's um Amru food.

Georgia 17:15

I mean, Myron's easier to say. I mean, yeah, but it's Myron gains, like muscle gains. It's so like that's stupid.

unknown 17:23

Yeah.

Bridie 17:23

Myron's not a great name.

Georgia 17:25

Maybe he changed his name because he was in trouble with the federal police, allegedly. Just that's my opinion. I thought he was the federal police. I'm just speculating. Yes, that's what I'm saying. He fucked up. And then there's this last guy, Mr. Sneeko, whoever the fuck. Oh, yeah, the one that's been banned and everything. And have you noticed they're all fucking intertwined with all those conspiracy theories as well? Like it's like a thing with all of them and anti-Semitism as well.

Bridie 17:52

Yeah. What on earth? Yeah, I couldn't color I couldn't understand the correlation to that in my brain. It was the juice. And I was just like, Oh, it's the juice.

Georgia 18:02

I was like, uh uh okay. Please explain. But there's no explanations because they don't even understand their own fucking statements.

Bridie 18:11

Like, do you want to be Hitler? Like, I guess. That's like their whole thing.

Georgia 18:15

Half of them hang out with Trump and his son. Like, it's all just such toxic shit. And they're all like, toxic masculinity, he's gonna harp on toxic masculine. Yes, that's you. That's you. Hello, kettle black. Yeah, pot kettle black. Um, and this kid started at 15 on YouTube. Where are his parents? Where?

Bridie 18:41

He's no longer 15, but like Yeah, but I can tell you right now, if my 40-year-old son did that, I'd be going over and knock him over the back of the head with the textbook. I'd be like, excuse me. Excuse me, I do not approve.

Georgia 18:54

Get off that fucking thing.

Bridie 18:56

It's like the way I talk to my daughter is so different to how I talk to my son. Like with her, I'm like, you can do anything, believe me yourself. And I'm like, you will not step on women to get anywhere.

Georgia 19:04

No, I know. I go in on my son sometimes, and I've had to ease off a little.

Bridie 19:09

Oh yeah, he's like six, and I'm like, just remember in future.

Georgia 19:13

He's like, okay, but if you feel the urge, and I have a snack now.

Bridie 19:18

Yes.

Georgia 19:19

Oh my god. Um, but what this guy has been banned on every single platform, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and they've recently let him back on. So he like started Discord or a Telegram or whatever the fuck. Oh, really? And but they've recently re-platformed in on YouTube, and I'm just like, why? And also Harrison got arrested after the fucking documentary and was let off also. And it's just like you wonder why these guys exist and they continue doing what they're doing because there's no real world consequences for them.

Bridie 19:49

The president of the United States is a really great example. I feel like the president of the United States and a convicted rapist should not be the same person. Oh my god. They should be at least two separate people.

Georgia 20:00

He's only it was only a civil suit, so it's not technically he's not technically a criminal, apparently. Yeah, okay. And then throughout the whole thing, there's these flickers of Andrew Tate, who clearly couldn't be contacted for a surely he did. Yeah, he would be the one.

Bridie 20:20

Yeah.

Georgia 20:20

He's the godfather of misogyny. Did you recommend it? I'm sure he would take that as a compliment.

Bridie 20:25

Do you remember during COVID there was the tiger guy? What was his name? Um there's a Louis Thoreau on him as well. I bet the Tiger King, yes, or whatever. Yeah. He was one of the and it's actually very funny.

Georgia 20:36

Um he's a funny guy. Yeah. Tiger King. He's just objectively funny, even though he's a piece of shit.

Bridie 20:43

Yeah, absolutely. But even Louis in it is funny. Like there's moments you can see his face and his human. His humour's great. He's like, right.

Georgia 20:51

Yes. Oh my god, the way that he stared at one of them, like for a good five minutes, just trying to process. Oh, when he was on the podcast, it was my favourite.

Bridie 20:59

Like he was like, Oh, I'm just gonna interject here.

Georgia 21:02

I did like how he interjected and sort of course corrected or attempted to. Yeah, he's very political. As he should be, yeah. But he's just so good at what he does, he's so mild with it, and he can sort of like schmooze the most abrasive kind of character with his.

Bridie 21:18

He just genuinely wants to demand.

Georgia 21:20

And that's the thing. And these I've never seen people react to him the way that these men have, you know, because they're dumb. They don't understand why they're not.

Bridie 21:28

Well, the white supremacy one was a very similar. Really? They didn't like his questions.

Georgia 21:33

Oh.

Bridie 21:33

No, there was a few that he got like kicked out of and stuff. Too many questions. It was just that he was What was he doing? He was just having excellent logic.

Georgia 21:42

And the logic wasn't there. No, and that's the common denominator in all of these dumb asses. They don't have logic because they don't engage their brain in any any kind of critical thinking. Because they just contradict themselves left, right, and centre, again, with the OnlyFans thing. Like Yeah. What? I will never stand for this, but also if I can make a quick buck off. Yeah. I'm not homophobic, but also I would disown my son if he was gay. Yeah, that you're a homophobic. Louis, like, what? Make the make the logic make sense. I don't know. But anyway, um, Andrew Tate, he started off as a kickboxer and then went on to Big Brother. That's where he made his big break. Yeah, I remember that. And he got kicked off Big Brother for smacking a girl with a a belt or something. A video came out, not in Big Brother, but a video came out with footage of him beating a girl with a belt. He says it was BDSM, and she's corroborated that, but apparently the video looks aggressive and violent. You know what I mean? So they just kicked him out. He then built an online empire somehow, courses, hustle style platforms utilising women, but simultaneously hating on women, trafficking women, and creating a he's like the central manosphere figure. Of Andrew. Of Andrew's world. Yeah, so the the ethos, masculinity, money control, status, multiple women. It's interesting that they promote family values when they have fucking multiple women, traditional values.

Bridie 23:16

Again, like so you can't say family family values that are only your values. Like they're not family values, they're your values that you're pushing onto your family.

Georgia 23:27

Yeah. You gotta care about your family as a whole to value your family. And I really tried hard to understand the fucking logic behind the matrix and the whole it's the media, it's the the high-ups. Aren't you the higher up? Aren't you ballin'? Like, what the fuck?

Bridie 23:43

Aren't you rolling around with Donald Trump? Oh my god, my favorite thing was the guy that was like, mental illness doesn't exist. Oh my god. My brother died by unaliving himself. Lol, who said that? I missed that. It was like it was at like he was at the gym or something, um, like the outdoor gym with the first guy. And he went up to this guy and they were talking about how they were in the the red pill matrix bullshit. Explain it to me. Step by step. He was like, Please, oh yeah, no, there's no mental illness. Mental illness isn't a real thing, like from my brother's experience. And he's like, Oh, well, what happened to you?

Georgia 24:16

The epitome of mental illness.

Bridie 24:17

He's like, he's like, Oh, what happened to your brother? He goes, Oh, yeah, he killed himself. Right. And I was like, but mental illness a thing. Did he say why? Surely not.

Georgia 24:28

No. But like he's like, Yeah, we're just gonna leave that there. Feel sorry for me because I'm a sad, sad man. Yeah, they're all very sad men. Oh my god. Strong anti-establishment themes as well with these men. Like, um, I don't align with the system and the media. And it's just like, okay, what do you align with?

Bridie 24:50

Yeah. Me. I just make up my own room. Me, men, male, masculinity.

Georgia 24:57

And energy drinks. And pre-workout. Muscles. Oh my god. Yeah, they're idiots. But yeah, at the end of the day, it's a just a blueprint for making money, like selling confidence, you know, like selling a dream. Yeah, they're selling this idea. But they're not even living it, guys. That's the thing. It's all fake. It's fake. They might have money, but it's through swindling the public, selling your soul. Being confident and getting women and all of that shit. Like. Anyway. It starts relatable and then it comes a little bit more controversial and then it goes extreme. It's like a fucking pipeline. There's an escalation. So just be aware, young men, if you're listening to this woman. It is a true crime podcast, so dudes can. I'm pretty much pretty into that.

Bridie 25:47

I mean, I I hold out hope. Dudes can do whatever women do.

Georgia 25:51

Yes, they can. If they believe in themselves. Except give birth. Yeah, true. They can't do that. Um, except for trans men. True dad. Um, I just had something really profound to say and I can't find it. I just wanted to very untrend. Yeah. I had all these questions to ask you, but I don't ask me. Why do people overlook the contradictions, do you think?

Bridie 26:13

Because why don't they just why do men because they don't care what they're saying. They care what they look like and their money and their output, and it's all about the image and yeah.

Georgia 26:25

Do people not just like just not care if it's entertaining? Yeah. I guess that's part of it. I mean that contributes to views, but like to taking on that whole ethos. How are those two little minions that were just like floating around to these two big guns? Fucking Harrison and that. Klingons. And they're like, we really idolize the Tate brothers. Oh, we admire them so much. And then he moved to Miami to do what they're doing, and he's fucking homeless, working out in an outside gym. Dude, look at your circumstances. That is the reality. They're very good at judging others and not being able to self-reflect. But I do feel like people, I think this documentary has done a really good thing. Um, it's made them look ridiculous. You know, it's made them look comical, especially against so stupid, you know, a logical man. And so shifty. Because these guys' podcasts, they make them look so macho and so confident and so successful and get all the bitches. And Louis just showed them how they are. Myron was so fucking shifty, like inside arguing, running back and forth, avoiding fucking the co the question, the conversation, or like putting little gaps in between him asking and him finding the answer. Can't even think about it or throw him off. Yeah. It's just all very manipulative. They're all very manipulative. Some are better at it than others. Yeah, the ones with a lot of money are really good at it. Yeah, because they've found a way, I guess, to swindle the population. Exactly. Anyway, they're selling outrage, not masculinity consensus. I'm impressed that you're wearing the headphones today. Do you know why? Because you're like literally the only non-neurodivergent person that comes in here. Oh, well, what's wrong with wearing them? Kat no one wears them because they're too overstimulated.

Bridie 28:16

Oh, really?

Georgia 28:17

K can't wear them, Sarah can't wear them.

Bridie 28:19

Really? Yeah.

Georgia 28:20

Olivia. Anyway, I don't I don't think she's neurodivergent diagnosed. I think she's just OCD.

Bridie 28:25

My um Yeah, so my pre-autism test came back today. Oh, you've done you've done a pre-test. Yeah, to see if it was worth spending the money on testing it. And so what is it? I just on the questionnaire. Yeah, it was like a lot of questions. Um because of my social aspects, it's very likely I'm not autistic. Yeah, because you're quite because of my social, yeah. You can function in a social. But the I do hit a lot of the targets for ADHD. No, like OCD. Obviously. But the thing is, I don't have a lot of compulsions, but my thoughts are very obsessive. Which is included. And yeah, yeah, absolutely. Umbrella. But it also because I've got RFID, it coins with that. And then Can we clarify what RFID is? Um, I have it's technically an eating disorder, but I prefer to see it as an anxiety disorder. Um, it's called uh it's avoidance um and that's right, avoiding avoidance food restrictive intake disorder. And so I've developed it as a lack of control, and my anxiety's been like, oh, what the fuck can we control our food intake? It's basically I'm scared that I'll die if I eat foods that I am not familiar with and things like that. So, and that again coincides with obsessive thoughts. Yeah, because my brain's like, if you eat this, you will die. And then I say that to myself so often that my brain has been basically rewired to think that. The good news is that because it's I don't have like the eating disorder side of it, so I have no body image issues, I have no calorie intake issues, nothing like that. She eats what is safe, which is very little. Vegemites, sandwiches, which are great. Vegemites the shit. But it just means that I don't have a lot of variation in my diet, but I eat. You eat. I I am not I lost a bit of weight at the start. You did, but I have not I'm not doing that anymore. Like I've hit nearly every single recovery marker. At the end of the day, you're getting treatment. Yeah, and I'm eating. And that's cool. I eat over three meals a day. I I eat full meals. I don't let it stop me from going places, which is another huge like because it isolates a lot of people because they don't go out. Whereas I go out, I just take a sandwich.

Georgia 30:52

You can force yourself to.

Bridie 30:53

I take a sandwich to the pub because I don't want to miss out on hanging with my friends.

Georgia 30:57

Yeah.

Bridie 30:57

I'm not gonna miss out on the ice hockey. I'm gonna ice hockey, I'm just gonna take my Pringles with me.

Georgia 31:02

When is the next ice hockey?

Bridie 31:05

Uh the season starts April 18th. Oh. But I'm working that day.

Georgia 31:10

Yeah, of course you are.

Bridie 31:11

I have a book convention.

Georgia 31:12

We've had this fucking recording booked in for like over a month. She's like, this is my literal only free day.

Bridie 31:18

I'm a very busy woman. You're busy Kelly. I am very busy woman. Um, I don't like to sit still. Um and you stick to your sketch. Yeah. Who doesn't? Whereas I mean I couldn't. I turned up today and she's like, I thought you were coming at two. And I was like, no.

Georgia 31:35

I just assumed this. I just don't even know where you got the number from. Last time you went to therapy, it felt like we finished recording. Oh, but it changes every night. Exactly.

Bridie 31:44

See, see, see? It does, but I did tell you that I had therapy at 10. Did you say 10?

Georgia 31:49

Yeah, several times.

Bridie 31:49

Anyways.

Georgia 31:50

Um, would you like to correct me on the chair swinging thing?

Bridie 31:55

So, um, I do a lot of exposure therapy as part of my treatment because it's about trying things and trying things until they feel normal and I don't get scared, and my fight and fear response doesn't kick in. Because that's the thing that stops you from doing things, aka avoidance. Um Georgia came on here and said that with Sarah. With Sarah that I was spinning on a chair because is that part true? So, yes, I was spinning on an office chair. I was on it. And that is because I'm trying to try to expose myself to how I feel when I'm anxious, so I can learn that I'm not gonna die from a panic attack. Or vomiting. And when I'm anxious, I get nauseous. Yes, and you hate that so I hate it a lot. So to the point that when I get actually sick and I get nauseous, I panic that I'm dying because I'm I think I'm panicking, so my body gets confused. So we have to induce nausea so I can learn that it's not gonna kill me. So what do you then do? Just sit with the nausea? Yeah. You just have to do anything to fix it, you just sit. I get spun on a chair and I feel terrible. Oh, awful. Yeah, because I I get emotion sick. Yeah, no. So you spin me twice and I'm like, and um, but the idea is exposing yourself to that feeling and knowing it will not kill you over and over again. So it becomes normal. Do you spin today? I didn't spin today. Great. But I also didn't want to spin. Are you done with the spinning? No. I shouldn't be done with the spinning, but I'm doing this thing called avoidance. Where it's my um my main issue. I mean, yeah. Yeah. But yeah, it's just about I actually um I now have to schedule worry time. So through the day I write down things that I think about that worry me, and instead of thinking about them and obsessing about them in that time, I write it down and then I have a scheduled half hour a day where I sit down. Yeah, you have to. And you have to worry about it as much as you can because your brain learns that, oh, we're not worrying about this right now because we'll have to do it later in worry time. So that's kind of smart. It's like a proven anxiety theory. So, question when is your designated worry time? Between 8 30 and 9 30. 8 30 in the morning. No, no, at night. Oh, oh. Because it has to be a time when you're relaxed and quiet time and everything. And I have children.

Georgia 34:28

I have children, so I can't do it in the morning or in the evening. When you have a list of worries, do you ever work yourself up into a a state? You just don't look at it until it's worry time.

Bridie 34:39

No, when it's worry time, I mean. You have to. You have to. Oh, you have to, that's the point. Your body learns this is when I'm worrying. You get half an hour to actually panic and freak out, and the rest of the day you're like, I can't do that right now.

Georgia 34:52

I have other shit to do. So wait, once your half an hour's over, what then do you do to get yourself out of that state? I read. Okay.

Bridie 35:01

Or you can do, there's different therapies. There's box breeding. And there's um a thing called the calm place, which is like a guided meditation. Oh, okay. Um, things like that. But usually you can once you practice it enough, you're able to be like, cool, worry time's over. Now I'm gonna move on. If I'm gonna worry about worry time, I have to do it tomorrow. I need to worry about worry time. Yeah. In my worry station. That was the first thing on my worry time list was that I was like, I'm worried about worrying about worrying. I don't want to schedule worrying, it's worrying to me. Exactly. So I'm not allowed to think about that until worry time. But worry about that, it's really good because I'll be like washing a dog at work and I'm like and I'm like, I have to write this down, and then I'm like, okay, cool, I can go back to work now. That's kind of because I have to worry later about it.

Georgia 35:47

Just kind of offload it. What if what if you just don't do worry time, but you write down all your worries and then shove it under a that doesn't actually solve anything.

Bridie 35:59

That's like saying, Oh, I got this bill if I don't think about it. I do that. I will okay. Worry time may not be for you. Maybe okay, we'll we'll do financial time for you.

Georgia 36:10

Oh my god, no.

Bridie 36:11

No, no, I've got eight dollars in my bank account. Wow, that's impressive. No, it's in the positive. I mean, yeah. Just take it, take a win.

Georgia 36:21

I might go buy something with it.

Bridie 36:23

Um I mean, I'm just saying after this.

Georgia 36:25

Nah, I don't want to go outside.

Bridie 36:28

I mean online. Oh, what are you gonna get for eight dollars online?

Georgia 36:32

Um, I'll just Uber Eats a Red Bull. Um, we should fucking move on. It's been an hour. Yeah, I don't have Uber Eats. Well, count yourself lucky. Did you know that Costco is on DoorDash now?

Bridie 36:43

Oh, that's amazing. Yes, I did because I'm pretty sure that's how my sister-in-law gets her nappies.

Georgia 36:49

I feel like we'll chop and change this and like make two episodes out of it because we're gonna talk a lot. We're gonna talk. It's been a while, yeah. But my chaos brain redirects you and then we go get fucking distracted.

Bridie 37:02

Yeah, I'm really good at a side track.

Georgia 37:04

Yeah.

Bridie 37:04

It drives Tom insane. He tried to listen to the first one, he's like, uh, you you didn't talk about the topic.

Georgia 37:09

Oh my god, I know. I feel I and that that would be something that I would put on my worry list is the fact that I am chronically aware that I ramble and sidetracking.

Bridie 37:19

You would sit down for worry time and be like, the fuck did I put the list? I forgot what I was supposed to be worrying about. Shit. That's great.

Georgia 37:26

I wish I could forget about worrying things amazing. No, but then I miss deadlines and bills, and then I can worry for myself.

Bridie 37:34

I'd rather die than miss a bill.

Georgia 37:36

I've missed so many.

Bridie 37:37

We need a good in-between brain. Like if you mush our brains together, yeah, it would probably be really highly functional.

Georgia 37:44

Normal normativities. It's my husband. Yes. We should do the um, I just had the thought in my brain. We should do that um diver who lives after 20 minutes with no oxygen.

Bridie 37:56

Oh, the movie that you watch.

Georgia 37:58

True story.

Bridie 37:59

Yeah. In Scotland. In Scotland. Scotland. With the Highland cows. The Hulankus.

Georgia 38:05

That's how they say it.

Bridie 38:06

The Hulin cows.

Georgia 38:07

The Hulin Kus. Do you know that I'm Scottish guys? That's why I love Highland Cows. Yep. Oh, is that your dad's side? Yep.

Bridie 38:13

Oh, there you go.

Georgia 38:14

Um, and Irish. That's why you like yeah, well, I know that.

Bridie 38:17

Because you are too. Yeah, but my dad's side is also Irish.

Georgia 38:21

Is he? Yeah. That's why you're so fucking white. That's why you're see-through.

Bridie 38:25

Yes.

Georgia 38:26

That's why you can see my veins through my skin. Fascinating. But I think um Scottish people are pretty pale too, typically, aren't they?

Bridie 38:32

Also, um, why I'm Brady. Yes, that's Irish. Yeah.

Georgia 38:35

Yeah.

Bridie 38:36

Because mum and dad both wanted an Irish name.

Georgia 38:38

An Irish name? Oh. Brady. Brady. Brady. My name's Brady. They've got some pretty hectic fucking names in Ireland. Like the Gaelic. Yeah, and the spelling just doesn't match the pronunciation.

Bridie 38:51

Yeah, my friend's daughter's name is Neve, and it's N-I-A-M-H.

Georgia 38:57

What?

Bridie 38:58

The M.

Georgia 38:59

So I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Bridie 39:01

That sounds like it. Sounds like it's a few. And then there was the M, and I was like, no. If you read it like English phonetically, it would be like Niam. But it's I still like it. Yeah. I like Neve. Yeah.

Georgia 39:12

It's beautiful. Um, so Sasha. I love Sasha. Sasha, yeah. And it has like How's that spelled? I don't know. S-O, something like that. Something freaky deeky.

Bridie 39:22

Yeah, amazingly. Just the Gaelic. The Gaelic of it all. I love it. I saw a bridey the other day spelled B-R-Y-D-E-E. And I was like, that's it. Did you almost change her name? I was like, that's illegal. I actually hate that. Me too. I was like the Y is throwing me off. There's or they're all in the wrong spot. I was like, that's wrong. Like I've seen my name spelled a million times. I D. Yeah, but not like that. That's that's not that's not okay.

Georgia 39:48

For the listeners, how do you spell your name?

Bridie 39:50

B-R-I-D-I-E.

Georgia 39:52

Perriet. And that's how you spell it. Brighty. Brighty. It's been talking a long ass time. It's almost been two hours, in fact.

Bridie 40:00

My hairdresser's got an approach. On to the next topic, there, and her name's Georgia, but it's J-O-R-J-A.

Georgia 40:05

Fuck that. I don't like it.

Bridie 40:06

J-O-R-J-A.

Georgia 40:07

I went over a phase where I wanted it, but that was my angsty teenage years where I just wanted to be everything that I wasn't. It suits her. That's good. I don't like it though.

Bridie 40:19

She's very um Jay. She's a very cool youth.

Georgia 40:23

Is she?

Bridie 40:23

Yeah.

Georgia 40:24

Gen Z?

Bridie 40:24

Yeah.

Georgia 40:26

Oh my god, we encountered the perkiest Gen Z the other day. Um it was quite refreshing. We went to Tom's confectionery in High Point. And the girl running the human claw machine, for context, it's a claw machine where you strap your child to and they winch them over. Of course. Yeah. Of course. I've got a video. That actually sounds really fun. I'd do that. Yeah, but the lollies are just budget. I don't care. I just go in the claw machine. Chuck the rejects in there and then you grab as much as you fucking possibly can.

Bridie 40:55

Oh, that's cool.

Georgia 40:55

And then you dump it in a bucket and then they just give it to you.

Bridie 40:58

That's awesome.

Georgia 40:58

I know. But it's $35 to run.

Bridie 41:01

Oh, that's so expensive.

Georgia 41:02

I know. It's gone up. It was like 20 something last time I went.

Bridie 41:05

I've done it for like 15.

Georgia 41:06

I said, okay, so one of you gets to do this. Choose.

Bridie 41:11

Was it Ruby?

Georgia 41:12

Yes. Absolutely. Do you know why though? Because they both did it last time and Hunter fucked up because he overthinks everything and moved his arms after he grabbed it. He was trying to reposition and he lost half of it. Ruby used her legs.

Bridie 41:25

I was picturing her looking like a freaking koala bear, like grabbing a thing.

Georgia 41:29

So fucking much. Oh my god. And Hunter had this tiny little bag. That's um brand for your children. Gigantor bag of lollies, and it was just so unfair. I was like, Ruby, you're gonna have to fucking share some of that loot. So this time she just did it, and they just halved it, and it was more than enough. That's amazing. Anyway, the lady that strapped it to the fucking winch, so perky. So nice. So excited. So bouncy. Anyways. Cool. Oh my god, I'm just talking shit now. I'm gonna go to Kmart. Are you? What are you gonna get? How could we possibly have more to talk about? It's been a month. Tell the listeners what you've been doing quickly.

Bridie 42:06

I I work a lot. Um, true. Went to the ice hockey.

Georgia 42:10

Did you assess my dogs?

Bridie 42:11

Oh shit, I've got to look into my work calendar.

Georgia 42:14

I was supposed to go to the ice hockey with Party and then I faint. I went to fucking um uh you know that assembly thing that you do with the children every week. Fucking hate it.

Bridie 42:25

Assembly?

Georgia 42:26

I hate assembly.

Bridie 42:27

Yeah. I don't think many people enjoy assembly. Yeah.

Georgia 42:29

Do you go every week?

Bridie 42:30

No, I usually just go now when um I used to go every week, but I work. You got over it. Um I now go when we know that the kids are getting like an award. How do you know? They email us.

Georgia 42:42

Well, that's smart. Yeah. Anyways, Ruby was doing a dance, so she made me promise to come watch her do the dance. And it was kind of like a flash mob thing. And she kept looking at me the whole time, and uh meanwhile, I'm trying not to pass out. I don't know what was going on. Dehydration, probably. Don't know, or hormones, not sure. Both bit of both. Yeah. I felt so I I was fine, and then all of a sudden, wave of heat, feel faint, had to kind of like slide down the wall and squat. Hella embarrassing. Like flanked by parents on either side, and I'm just sitting on the ground. I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. Um, and then like waiting for the fucking dance to happen, which was at the end of the fucking assembly, and I was there at the start, like trying to pass out the whole time. Then her dance comes on. I stand up, I'm like, oh no, no, no, oh no, no. Felt nauseated, hot. I took off my jacket and it was freezing outside. I was like sweating. I felt like I was dying, and Ruby's dancing, looking to see my fucking I'm watching, I'm watching, I'm dying, I'm here. And then I called Brian and said, mate, there's something wrong. Not coming to the ice. I really wanted to go and perform. Well, if it's how did you go?

Bridie 43:53

Yeah, yeah, you did go. Did you take someone else? So my book friends also had bought tickets on your boat. Okay, so I had people to sit with, yeah. It was the most violent game I've thought of. It was so good. I knew it. A guy got sent off medical. He had his shoulder. What'd he break? Oh, his shoulder. He didn't break anything. I think he dislocated it. Rotate a cuff. And then there was like oh there were so many Sinbin people getting sent to the Sinbins. What's a Sinbin? Uh when they get in trouble, it's like a timeout. Oh, like a red card type situation. Yeah, but they get sent to a little. Yeah. And it's called the Sinbin. So they and they get locked in there for two minutes. And then they're like locked. Well, they get shut in there for two minutes. Oh my god. And then it's called power play. So the other team has one extra player. Wow. Yeah. And it was just, it was the most violent game of hockey that I knew that would happen. I knew it would be good. Because it's it's pre-season, so it doesn't count towards anything. So no one was caring. Like, so it was they were just fucking each other up.

Georgia 44:50

It was awesome. Oh my god. Okay. So good. I need to go the next one. It was so good.

Bridie 44:56

I don't even know when the next game I'm going to is, but um Let me know. I will. But oh my god, it's so good. It's the best fucking game. I love it so much. It's just so violent. It was really good because it was the Good Friday appeal one too. So they were raising money for the more children.

Georgia 45:13

The more injuries we have, the more donations.

Bridie 45:15

But like the kid that put the got to do the the puck drop was like an example.

Georgia 45:21

By the way, sorry to interrupt you. How was your Easter?

Bridie 45:24

Good, I made macarons. Oh, and they're delicious. I made macaroons for the first time. Macronage is something that I'm terrified of now. It's the the act of mixing the batter.

Georgia 45:35

Macronage.

Bridie 45:37

Fucking ages.

Georgia 45:38

Yeah, I know I've done it before. I lost interest.

Bridie 45:41

Um, no, I committed. I was there for fucking hours. Yeah, but you finished the job on it, you know. Yeah, and then I um went to my friend Shelly's house and hung out there for dinner.

Georgia 45:51

Did you get a chocolate egg?

Bridie 45:53

I did not.

Georgia 45:54

I didn't either.

Bridie 45:55

The Easter bunny went to Singapore this year.

Georgia 45:57

Oh my god, I did a night shift before Easter just to get a bit of because my rent was due. Yeah. And I asked the kids' dad to have them one more night because the shift came up and I was like, I have to. Yeah. They were so dirty at me. Because I was supposed to come home and have an Easter morning at my aunt's. Which they did. Just easy. He was like, it's Christmas. He was like, yeah, on the condition that you pick them up at 8 a.m. I was like, yeah, no worries, great. I'll just finish work and drive fucking straight there on no soap. Excellent. Um, so I did that and picked up a hot press button on the way. I did a detour home, grabbed the eggs, chucked them in the room. I just like spritzed them all over their bedroom. Oh god. You know? I mean, you did it. Like, that's the point. Like, the eggs were there, they were present, and then I drove like a zombie to McDonald's, got the children, brought them back, and be like, eggs are in position.

Bridie 46:49

Happy Easter. Good night. Well, it was great because it was the Happy Easter! Because it was daylight savings. I got an extra hour sleep because no one woke me up.

Georgia 46:59

Yeah. Meanwhile, I had to work an extra hour. Well, it was wonderful.

Bridie 47:04

And then I stayed in my jarmies all day and macaroons, and it was great. And then the next day we have um we do this thing, me and my friends called craft noons, and we go to someone like and we just craft and talk shit and stuff. So I like bedazzled a coaster. Nice. It was like it was so good to the point that like, oh, that's what I want to do. They've got them at they've got bookmark versions at Kmart, and I want to go get more. You're gonna go get bedazzled. Yeah, so we can do something tomorrow night and just like bedjazzle.

Georgia 47:31

Bedazzle your vjazzle. No, I didn't. That was a thing once, right? Yeah, I do remember vjazzled themselves.

Bridie 47:38

No.

Georgia 47:38

For context, Diamond did their pubes.

Bridie 47:40

No one wants to.

Georgia 47:41

Wait, I don't think they had pubes. I think they think it was without a dump.

Bridie 47:44

I think they would like sticking it on the skin. Which uncomfortable. Imagine putting your underwear back on.

Georgia 47:49

Yeah, just the friction on. I can't even have pubic hair because of the sensation of the hair poking through my eye. The you know how the hair pokes through your undies?

Bridie 47:58

Yeah. That's interesting.

Georgia 48:01

No, I can live with as much body hair. That and a scratchy tag. Nightmare. That's why I don't shave my bum hairs because the itch, the itch of it growing back, you know. It's horrible. I don't shave my bum hairs. I have done it in the past, that's how I know.

Bridie 48:18

You should get them lasered. No. That would hurt. Yeah, but it would be gone then.

Georgia 48:22

I don't give a fuck. I just have curly bum hairs now. Okay. You know, just let the bum hairs breathe and be free.

Bridie 48:28

Oh my god. How hairy is your butt?

Georgia 48:32

I just became, I don't know, I think I was scratching it one day and became aware. And I was like, Your fingers got tangled. I just like grabbed a bunch of them and I was like, what the fuck? It's like whiskers. I was like, oh my god. I have shit. Bum fluff.

Bridie 48:50

That's hilarious.

Georgia 48:50

Yep, so I shaved them off and then I regretted it because the itch is hectic.

Bridie 48:55

I can't imagine shaving like I'm quite skilled with my shaving.

Georgia 48:58

Yeah, like how we I get all the way up in the lips and everything when I'm doing my peeps.

Bridie 49:02

Yeah, I get that bit, but you can see that usually. Or like not the back bum. I mean, I could I guess I could put your legs in the air and like.

Georgia 49:11

Nah, just do it standing up. Just pull one cheek to the side.

Bridie 49:16

Usually get a wax.

Georgia 49:17

No, fire waxing. Why subject yourself to the pain of it all?

Bridie 49:22

I think I have an excellent pain tolerance.

Georgia 49:24

I do too. I just don't think it's necessary. You know, I went and got IPL like five sessions. That shit fucks.

Bridie 49:31

Oh, is that the face thing? You up.

Georgia 49:33

Yes. Yeah. It's like laser. That's what laser is, I think. It cauterizes your blood vessels underneath your skin with red light. Hot, searing red light. And it goes, and it's and it's she goes, cowmy goes. Um, the best I could describe the sensation is a hot lacquer band flicking you in the face. Who doesn't want that? Great.

Bridie 49:56

Insane amazing. I also pay for tattoos though. Like I'm not afraid of pain.

Georgia 50:02

Yeah, but you get something out. I mean, yeah, I got IPL. I got something out of IPL too, but oh, it's a process. Fuck's sake, I need to go back. I'm getting red again. It's like my capillaries have all appeared again.

Bridie 50:13

There's a yeah, a book convention I'm going to, and they've got pop-up tattoo artists there that day. I am working it, so I'll have to see. But there's this one that they did because they've got a flash sheet.

Georgia 50:25

Oh my god, yes.

Bridie 50:26

I ignore it. Absolutely.

Georgia 50:28

Right? Can you like make a print so I can put it up on my it's not my work, it's a tattoo artist.

Bridie 50:36

Just Google ghost cat. I'm sure you can find one on Pinterest.

Georgia 50:39

But if you gave it to me, it'd be meaningful. Oh, I told you about it. It's a ghostie on a toilet, isn't it? Oh, and it's reading a book. He's reading a book. That's cute. I've got my bathroom ghosties in my bathroom. No, don't do that. It would actually. You can have it.

unknown 50:54

Yep.

Georgia 50:54

Honestly, that is a it's yeah, take it. It is a vibe. From me to you. Thank you so much.

Bridie 51:00

Welcome. I made you macaroons.

Georgia 51:02

There's some in the fridge. Go announce it. I don't really do sweets. Did you see my eating sweet video that I just uploaded from?

Bridie 51:09

Oh, you're an American one? Yeah. Yeah, but it was a huge ass pickle.

Georgia 51:13

That wasn't sweet, was it? There was a pickle amongst all of the sweet.

Bridie 51:18

To be honest, I didn't find it that sweet because you had like pretzels and the tacky tiki. Tackies.

Georgia 51:25

Oh, true. Most of it was savory.

Bridie 51:27

What the fuck? I was like, that's not sweet. It's kind of like 50-50. You had a lolly and you had a peep.

Georgia 51:32

Oh my god, the peeps were nut. See, Tom loves a peep. I had a comment in the comment section say you should people leave them out to get a bit more firm and tacky and then they eat them. I'm like, wow, I'm not a marshmallow person. It's just that they were cute. I was like, I like the idea of marshmallows.

Bridie 51:49

Every single holiday because Tom's sister loves them.

Georgia 51:52

Uh because they had them in the US, yeah. It wasn't necessarily a sweet thing, it was the American snack thing. So American snacks. The pretzels are fucking shit. Yeah. But the butterfinger, fuck me dead, life-changing. Like JG. Honestly. Heard it here first. Do you like peanut butter things? No, I hate peanut butter with a passion. You would hate this. But it's kind of like oh, it's hard to explain. Is it creamy? If you've not had peanut butter brittle, you won't get it. I know what peanut butter brittle is. The brittle part is like the texture of the centre, and then it's coated in like a chocolate on the outside. But it's all like nutty. But it was French, fucking French toast um flavoured. That's off a movie, by the way.

Bridie 52:37

Okay.

Georgia 52:37

Let's make some fucking French toast. I think we should stop recording. What do you think? Which is gas bagging. I don't think I updated anyone on my Easter. I probably should do that. So I went to my mother's.

Bridie 52:47

Oh, you went to Mum's.

Georgia 52:48

That's nice. I went to Mum's after I woke up from sleeping off my night shift. So we ended up their evening of fucking so I slept Easter. The kids were fine. They were just too busy smashing their chocolate and just chilling, playing on their devices because they're not allowed to play on their devices at their dad's, so they come home to chill.

Bridie 53:05

But um I said to Tom was I had the kids go on the flight because their flight to Singapore was overnight.

Georgia 53:10

For context, the children are in Japan.

Bridie 53:12

Yeah, and um living it up. They only slept an hour each because they don't get unlimited tech time at home.

Georgia 53:19

They were excited.

Bridie 53:21

They had like unlimited tech time on the planes, and like why would we sleep?

Georgia 53:25

See, in this family, we love unlimited tech. I don't know, I'm a busy bitch, okay?

Bridie 53:31

No, my kids get like two hours a day on their pads. Like, I feel like movies are different. You know, if we all sit down to watch a movie, I feel like that's different.

Georgia 53:42

Like if I'm gonna sit down, I sound like the worst mother. But anyway, if I sit down with them, I feel so unmotivated to watch a movie with my kids that it has to be something that I find interesting, which is so fucking selfish. But I think it's my brain. Um I get that, yeah. So I have to, it has to be something nostalgic from my millennial area, like oh, you won't watch new movies. Thumbelina or something like that. I find them so fucking irritating and boring.

Bridie 54:08

I take the kids to the movies all the time because I love going to kids' movies. No, not kids' movies necessarily, but that's what I'm talking about though. Like I love like I went to go, we went and saw this the new Super Mario because I wanted to see Hunter wants to see that.

Georgia 54:20

Was it good?

Bridie 54:21

Yeah, I liked it a lot. But it's also Yoshi's in it, so I was like Oh, Yoshi. So, and it was adorable.

Georgia 54:28

But um We also sing the theme song to Super Mario Brothers in that episode. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Me and Sarah. We actually sing a lot. It's like one of them's one of us starts, the other one fucking keeps going. Oh my god. Um we also do a hymn.

Bridie 54:42

But also, you should take them to see the magic faraway tree. That's just come out.

Georgia 54:46

Is that a movie?

Bridie 54:47

Yeah, it's just come out.

Georgia 54:48

Oh fuck off. I'm I'm there. Like Moonfacing. See what I mean? Yeah. Like that was a book from my childhood, so I'm interested. But if it's Super Mario Brothers, couldn't give two fucks.

Bridie 54:59

I loved it. It was great.

Georgia 55:00

In fact, I'm dreading sitting through it, but I will do it.

Bridie 55:02

See, you are a good mum.

Georgia 55:04

Oh, only on the holidays. Only on my designated week. Um, like I was gonna say the last time I sat down and watched a movie, I forced them to watch Titanic.

Bridie 55:13

Oh my god, no way.

Georgia 55:15

No. We skipped the death part. Oh, you just watched the first half?

Bridie 55:18

Yeah. Remember how mum had the two DVDs, so you had to change them halfway through.

Georgia 55:23

Oh my god.

Bridie 55:25

So you just watched the first one and everyone lived happily over after.

Georgia 55:28

No, I had to watch the death scenes. I'm just morbid like that.

Bridie 55:31

No. I took I can still picture that mum in the bed with her babies and the old people.

Georgia 55:36

Brutal.

Bridie 55:37

Yeah, horrible.

Georgia 55:38

Yeah.

Bridie 55:38

The water just like encasing them.

Georgia 55:41

Ruined me. It wasn't even encasing, it was just running under their beds. So sad. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Not nice. And the fucking No Will. Will. The fucking boat man. Where he accidentally shoots someone and then he shoots himself in the head. Oh yeah.

Bridie 56:00

That was sad.

Georgia 56:01

It was because he had accidentally shot someone.

Bridie 56:06

And he was like, well, can't live with this.

Georgia 56:08

Chaos. I know. It was like.

Bridie 56:10

I mean, that's awful.

Georgia 56:11

Yeah. Some people just can't.

Bridie 56:14

Fair enough.

Georgia 56:15

There was so much more I had to say. Pigeons are so cute. Oh my god. They look like fat and fluffy. Fuck off. They're sitting in the sun and they're just like zhuzh. They've fluffed all their feathers up and their heads are like tucked into their fluffy birds. I would love to get like a parrot, like a macaw. Don't. They're so loud.

Bridie 56:36

I know, but it'd be so cool.

Georgia 56:38

But also and it was just a demon.

Bridie 56:43

Yeah, but I had birds growing up. Like I had the cockatiels and the birds. Yeah, they were cute. Yeah. But I'm not sure.

Georgia 56:48

Shut everywhere though.

Bridie 56:50

I also um don't like the ideas of birds being in cages and stuff, so I feel like I'd just feel bad enough. I'd just let it out.

Georgia 56:58

Yeah, and then there was shit everywhere.

Bridie 56:59

Yeah, so I've just I've made friends with the magpies at my house. The parents literally come by and drop off their three babies in the morning and at night. Yeah, feed my children. Yeah, I feed them and then the parents come back and pick them up like an hour later. It's amazing. I can hand feed them now. It's really good. I love that. I actually need to go buy more meal worms.

Georgia 57:18

They are quite easy to tame. Yeah. Especially babies.

Bridie 57:21

Hi babies! I need to go buy more meal worms. They run up to me. It's amazing. One has like awesome eyeliner. It's amazing.

Georgia 57:28

Oh, I have 2,000 pet worms. They're in my veggie garden.

Bridie 57:31

I had pet worms, but I think we killed them.

Georgia 57:34

Hopefully mine are still alive.

Bridie 57:35

I have sprouted seeds.

Georgia 57:38

Yeah, they're in the veggie garden.

Bridie 57:39

Oh, they're in the garden.

Georgia 57:41

I see. Okay. I juzge. You're ready for the apocalypse. Well, I've got peas planted in the veggie garden and I've got seedlings. Um, I'm just waiting for them to become a bit more robust.

Bridie 57:50

Why do worms eat? Oh no, because they eat up.

Georgia 57:52

No. They don't eat the compost. So I have a compost bin. It's called a a worm tower.

Bridie 57:56

Yeah, we have that.

Georgia 57:57

And it's in my garden bed and it has little holes that the wormies can get into the compost, and then they spread all the goodness around the garden bed. That's so clever. And it brings me much joy. I love that for you. I'm just bad at it. I'm just I'm not good. I'm good with the gardening. Do you know what's really hyped and up and life-changing for me? Chat GPT. Um teaching me how to garden. Oh, okay. Like it it like tells you everything you need to know. Have you seen the thing? Plants go with what plant? Like, like you can plant, you can co-plant plants and they will keep away the pests. Oh, that's amazing. Yeah, like herbs and shit. That's incredible. And then there's like plants that don't agree with each other either. Like you can't plant them next to each other.

Bridie 58:38

So many tomatoes at home if you want some. Because we have a hydroponic kind of garden, so it self-waters.

Georgia 58:42

Where?

Bridie 58:43

Um, where next to the granny flat where that carport needs to be. We've completely redone it, yeah.

Georgia 58:50

Oh, okay. Awesome.

Bridie 58:51

There's four like hydroponic things, and we've got tomatoes fucking everywhere. Coming out of your asshole. There's tomatoes everywhere. Wow. So it's like a heated sort of thing. Like it's not heated, it's just the water just continues to be.

Georgia 59:04

It's crazy that it's like growing. It's so much cold weather in the area that you live. Anyways, I'll let you go to Kmart.

Bridie 59:11

Yeah, I've got to go to Kmart. Spend some money. You should. Tom was like, I'm getting paid today, and I was like, Great, I'm gonna spend it while you're gone.

Georgia 59:18

Oh my god. So does he not get it over there in Japan?

Bridie 59:22

No, no, because he's got his own, like he's transferred all these money into the Japanese account, the Japanese whatever you use to spend over there. And so I've got full access to the account. Japanese yen? Yeah. Japanese yen. Yeah. Just pulled that out of my house. But also, like for Christmas, his mum gave the kids like yen and stuff so they can spend their own money.

Georgia 59:42

So by the way, have you started stockpiling your canned goods?

Bridie 59:45

No.

unknown 59:46

Fucking get on board.

Bridie 59:48

I have an electric car, I can get it anywhere.

Georgia 59:50

Doesn't matter. The food is gonna run out.

Bridie 59:53

No, it's not.

Georgia 59:54

It's not, I'm joking. But I am stockpiling.

Bridie 59:57

It's possible that you're on the internet too much.

Georgia 59:59

I think that's true. I live my life on the internet. I'm trying to make a fucking, you know, a living from it.

Bridie 1:00:05

I know, but that's probably what's causing you to worry.

Georgia 1:00:08

Um, I think I'm aware. Look at the bird now. Yeah, I know. Oh my god, he's like full stretching his wing out into the sun. Bassing. So majestic. My bird net is not functioning well. It's like half hanging off the fucking fig. Nothing. I've got the figs on it though. Delish. I've been eating them off the tree. I love figs. I'm gonna go. Alright, well, thank you so much for talking shit with me. You're so welcome. I'm gonna have to cut half of this out and make a second episode, I think, because it is two hours long. That's ridiculous. I know. Anyways, um, if you want to become a subscriber and get early episodes, you could do that. That'd be amazing. Click the link, um, and yeah, become a subscriber, that'd be awesome. And follow my Instagram and send me an email if you have a request. And I love you, and I'll see you in you in the next one. Bye.
