Are you good?

SPEAKER_04 0:01

I'm tweaking. We're okay. So there's a little square that like stays on my eyes following it.

SPEAKER_02 0:07

I don't think I've ever noticed it till now. And I was like, damn, do I have a white spot on me?

SPEAKER_05 0:15

Welcome back to the Intersect Podcast, Australia's number one trading podcast. How are we all doing? I'm good, mate. How are you? I don't I think that's a lie. Because you're tired.

SPEAKER_04 0:27

Well, I just woke up. Yes. So who isn't tired when they just wake up? Me.

SPEAKER_05 0:32

If you wake up energized, you're lying to yourself. Yeah, that is very true. Um, yeah, what I was saying before is that um yeah, there's been a massive discovery in the women's ovaries section, which is kind of cool. Tell me more. You were just babbling. So they um I don't know too much about it because I'm not a whammon, but they had a massive woman is plural. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 0:58

You are not a w a female.

SPEAKER_05 1:01

Yes. One of them. Um and yeah, massive discovery that they have the same like neuro connections as their brain does. So they have three brains. So think with their junk and not like guys. Yeah. So that misconception that blokes think with their wieners. It's actually women that do. Women think with their wieners. How cool is that? Because it's also um they can like they have like a gut feeling, and a lot a lot a lot of the time that gut feeling is true. So it's not gut feeling, it's gut thinking. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:37

They think with their gut. I thought I should just uh fact check you when we're speaking about women's bodies. Uh yeah, the female brain and ovaries are connected via the hypothalamatic pituitary ovarian HBO for short. Axes a neuro right. I regret opening this article because there's way too many words. It's a lot of words pronounced.

SPEAKER_04 2:01

I don't know what that said, but I'm pretty sure it's a highway in Europe somewhere.

SPEAKER_01 2:04

So it basically Yeah, it turns in turn affects the brain structure and function. So the estrogen acts as a brain protective factor influencing mood, memory, energy, and significant brain changes.

SPEAKER_03 2:20

It's making a lot of sense now, is it? Elaborate.

SPEAKER_00 2:23

What did you get from that? I got from that that feelings affect thinking a lot. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:32

And it basically, yeah, the the dynamics of the way the brain works during the menstrual cycle changes.

SPEAKER_05 2:38

Yeah, I was gonna say that would uh make me. How cool is that? Because it's also like um because a lot of now I've I've seen this firsthand. I'm not I'm not gonna dive too much into this because we're we're not qualified enough. Yeah, we're not qualified enough to talk about it. Uh, and I don't want to say anything wrong, but I'm saying this because a lot of women out there they think that their bodies or something is wrong with them, and they know it, obviously, because the the neuroconnection with the brain. So they know the feeling is something wrong, but they go to a doctor and they go, Hey, this is what I'm feeling. The doctor a lot of the time will just be like that's just here's some meds.

SPEAKER_04 3:23

I thought you were gonna say that like they know something's wrong, but they're just like let's just not worry about that and just keep telling you.

SPEAKER_05 3:29

So because a lot of doctors are also not uh educated on this type of stuff because the whole woman's woman's is that right? The whole woman's um organs insides are very complex. Yeah. We're very, as blokes, we're very stupid, like we're very basic.

SPEAKER_04 3:47

We uh the Toyota pickup of bodies. Yes. They are more of like a European Audi kind of spectrum.

SPEAKER_05 3:55

So they're a lot more in-depth with their stuff, and it's cool because Michaela sent me a video of it, and she, my wife has um my wife, my wife has PMDD, and it's a lot of um uh yeah, see, this is why I'm not educated on it. Um what's PMDD? Um post No, it's not. Yes, it is, it's post something. I know she has told me about it before.

SPEAKER_01 4:28

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder. PMDD. Yes, that one's beautiful.

SPEAKER_05 4:35

I was close, always nowhere fucking near. Um, and it affects her hormones. That's the word I was trying to think of. Her hormones. So she breaks out in a lot of like rashes on her face. Um, her period's very irregular, emotion spikes up and down, all that type of stuff. And she got it after her tubes got taken out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, and this is this is where the whole gray area comes in, is that it's no one really knows what happens after your tubes are out because there's not enough scientific facts on it. So, one thing that Michaela's told me is that they have done more studies on male pattern boldness than the inside of a woman's body. I don't know how true that is, but it kind of makes sense. And if there is something out there, please help me and fix me.

SPEAKER_01 5:26

I'm bold.

SPEAKER_05 5:27

I need help, please. Turkey, brother. Yeah, one way fight the turkey, maybe you'll be fine.

SPEAKER_02 5:31

One way, he's not coming back.

SPEAKER_05 5:33

I'm fucking sad over there. Just stuff, brother. So yeah, it's cool. It's cool that they've um they've got this whole thing going on that they're actually diving into a woman's body um and trying to figure out all that type of stuff.

SPEAKER_04 5:47

All that doctor stuff doesn't make sense. How can one person know that much information? It's so like you know, like you can get into specifics of this part or this part of women, men's, all the rest of it. How do you go to one doctor and be like, yeah, I've got this problem? And they're just like, ah, I know exactly what to do here. Panculus. That's what you need, and it will fix itself, you know?

SPEAKER_02 6:09

Like that makes I feel like there's very basic stuff.

SPEAKER_04 6:13

It'd be so hard to trust because you'd be like, Well, you don't fucking know what's going on.

SPEAKER_05 6:18

Well, my my my my Nuna, R I P Nunskis, um, she unfortunately passed away due to a misdiagnosis of her um arthritis painkiller, uh arthritis medication. Jesus. Yeah, which is pretty fucked. How old was she? Sixty-eight. Not that old. Yeah, very young.

SPEAKER_04 6:42

You were young. Not that young.

SPEAKER_05 6:43

She died.

SPEAKER_04 6:44

Hey, how old were you?

SPEAKER_00 6:45

Yeah, not like 50, aren't you?

SPEAKER_05 6:52

She died eight years ago. You have 42, 42, roughly about that. Yeah, so she died just before Pia was born.

SPEAKER_03 7:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 7:04

Yeah, which is shit.

SPEAKER_01 7:05

Lily's dealing with stuff like that at the moment. Well, I don't go into too much detail, but her she's had like an issue for years and years and years, and she's spoken to multiple doctors about it, and they've always just said, like, there's not a problem. It's basically just in your head. And she's then she's basically stopped seeking help for it because she was like, No one's listening to me. Like, I know there's something wrong with me. And so it's been years since the last one. She finally decided to go see another doctor. The first time she's had a female doctor, um, and they they um diagnosed it straight away, or they at least were willing to do the tests. They were like, Okay, well, sure, let's do the tests, did the tests, and straight away tests came back with something really bizarre that wasn't expected, but it's like a simple, like it's just a CAT scan or an x-ray or whatever the fuck it was. Um, and Lily found that really tough to deal with. Like, as soon as like it was like, Yeah, it's good news, like finally I've confirmed something's wrong, but it's like all these years I've known there was something wrong with me, and all these men are telling me there's not, and like that took a massive toll on her. Just like I fucking knew it, and it's like health, it's your health. So now for God knows how many years, you know, she's potentially made the problem worse because it's not been seen to.

SPEAKER_05 8:19

Um, yeah, dumb. Bro, unfortunately, so I I saw it with my wife, I've seen it with a lot of my female friends, and unfortunately, you go to a doctor to get help, and when they tell you that there's nothing wrong with you, you go, oh, okay. Cool, there's probably nothing wrong with me when your body is telling you that there is something wrong with you. So you trust these doctors to tell you the things that you should trust, but you you you you just can't. It's just it's such a weird thing. There's a lot of male doctors out there that are just fucking stupid.

SPEAKER_04 8:57

Or like just educated in the wrong area. Like they might be really good at figuring out that like, you know, exactly what to do with like when men get, I don't know, some symptom or something, but like comes to specific, like maybe female hormones and stuff, and they're like they know.

SPEAKER_02 9:14

I don't know what's going on, which it's like, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 9:16

And that's why like going to a female doctor that Lily did, I've I have heard a lot of the times I'll like a lot of uh women will go to a male doctor, they'll say, Hey, something's wrong with me. The male doctor will go, no, there's not, here's some fucking meds to fix whatever the fuck you think it is, and then they'll go to a female doctor, and because obviously a female doctor knows a lot more about a female's body, they'll go, Yeah, this is what you're actually saying, it's kind of linking up to all this stuff. And like what unfortunately Lily went through the years of telling herself that there's something wrong with it, but also getting told by other male doctors that there's nothing wrong with them, then going to a female doctor and affirming it is fucked. That shouldn't happen. It's they it should be like a there should be a medical profession that is certified in these type of things, like uh women's specialize.

SPEAKER_01 10:05

Well, I mean, these people are just GPs, right? So the GP's just being lazy as far as I'm concerned, because it's not their job, just refer to a specialist who would actually look further. The GP's just going, nah, you don't need a specialist because I'm saying there's nothing wrong with it. So what the fuck do you do? You're a GP, you're a general practitioner. You know, it's like sometimes they'll just give you meds to be like if you go in with a problem and they'll just give you meds because it's all they can do. But then when you actually speak to the expert, the expert might be like, I mean, you know, you don't need those meds now, let's get you off them kind of thing.

SPEAKER_04 10:33

And it's just it's one of those things you don't bring your Lamborghini to a Toyota dealership and hope that they know how to do it. Yeah, you go to the Lambo dealership because they know everything about it, and that's how it works. Yeah, like it just makes sense. Like a GP is just a normal mechanic. Yeah, he can change oil, but he might know not what to do when it comes to timing belts and random crap.

SPEAKER_01 10:55

A lot of your analogies come up with it. Every time you're like, Well, how do I make this make sense about parts?

SPEAKER_04 11:03

I know how to make this make sense to me. That's not true.

SPEAKER_01 11:06

Imagine she's a Lamborghini.

SPEAKER_05 11:13

Yeah. But really, there is. Yeah. That's yeah, I love your analogies because it's very, very uh, it's very romantic based. It's fucking hilarious. But it's also like this also goes into something that I also wanted to talk about. It's uh also mental health illnesses, and this isn't just women, this is also men as well. A lot of the time, like, and this I've also seen this firsthand. My wife went into and she had postpartum, so she was quite depressed, and then also this PMDB PMDD kicked in, and she just added letters every time.

SPEAKER_01 11:46

PMDD. PM HDMI P Sorry.

SPEAKER_05 11:49

HDMI. Yeah, so she she went into um this place and she said, I've got postpartum, and I also think I have PMDD. She obviously like I looked up all the symptoms and she can't affirm it, but she like everything is resulting back into the symptoms of PMDD. Um and she got super super fucking depressed for a long time. And one of the things that I've always been certain on is that if you are suffering from mental health issues, and you go to a doctor and they just go, Here's some medication, and like they don't even want to try and help. Just some of those happy pills that are like, Oh, take this antidepressants, and they go, Here you go, here's your fucking pills, take these, you'll be fine. So she did that, and when she came back with a prescription for antidepressants, I said, You're not going on those, you don't need to go on those. We can get through this together. Uh, and it was just a matter of like figuring out what her triggers were and um how I can help, whether it be housework or taking fucking, you know, whatever off. But that's the one thing that pisses me off with today's society is that a lot of the time people will go in and be like, hey, I'm not good mentally, what can I do? They'll go, here's antidepressants. Yeah, big follow. It's like a safe fucking that's the easy way out.

SPEAKER_01 13:11

Well, I think the takeaway here is to speak to a specialist no matter what it takes, because that's what your GP is always going to do. They're not specialized to handle, especially with mental health stuff. If you go in there and say, Oh, yeah, I've had some um, I'm feeling a little depressed or whatever, I have these thoughts. Their instant thing to go to just out of safety is oh, this guy's depressed, like suicide warning, whatever. Let's just get him on the antidepressants. We'll send you to a referral, but start taking the antidepressants straight away. And it's like, no, wait for the expert. They just do beyond what they need to do. And especially when it comes to things like antidepressants, like those are big mind-altering drugs. If you start on them, you can't just stop, you have to like wean off. And also the journey to start on them is is brutal. It makes the problem worse before it gets better. So if you're depressed and they just give this to you and you have to wait to see a psychiatrist or psychologist, whatever, um, and you just start taking these pills, your your situation could get way worse before you even actually speak to the specialist. And speaking to a specialist might just be enough. I don't know, it depends on your issue.

SPEAKER_04 14:18

But yeah, I've heard a lot of people say like antidepressants are just like it doesn't make you happy, it just numbs certain parts of your brain or feelings essentially. Yeah, you ain't feel any like you may take away a bit of the low, but you definitely take away the high as well. Yeah, like it just keeps you in that.

SPEAKER_05 14:39

I yeah, I would I would definitely say, and obviously we're not professionals, so we can't speak. But our well, my recommendation would be if you do go and seek someone, seek a specialist, like like what Tumi said, but also speak to a few different people, get a few different people's opinion, don't just rely on one person because a lot of a lot of the time from experience, it's I can tell you that they're either not right or they're not uh specialized in a certain area. And go, I feel like going on antidepressants is just a fucking easy way out, which sucks.

SPEAKER_04 15:14

It's not an easy way out, it's just a step sideways, like I said, keeping that numb set, you're not going better, you're not going worse, but you just you're just there, you're just maintaining the problem essentially. Talking about um hold up, firstly, I'm pretty sure it's Dana White. I don't know, he went to this whole big thing.

SPEAKER_05 15:31

Dana White's the president of the USC.

SPEAKER_04 15:33

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 15:33

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 15:34

Mm-hmm. That's where I'm going with this. Okay. Um, he had things with general doctors as well. Did not like, you know, all kinds of wrong. And like he's like a huge advocate. He's never trusted a doctor with his like physical health again or anything like that. He has like only specialists and only like actual I don't know what the name is for some other things, but he would not go to like a doctor or anything like that. Like a general practitioner stuff.

SPEAKER_05 15:59

He went to a fair few.

SPEAKER_04 16:01

He went to like one or two. I'm not sure exactly how story went, but he said he he'd never trust any doctor or anything like that again, only his like professional because and I'm like what for? It something to do with like getting not getting treated like whether there isn't the right problem or like you know, not misdiagnosed, but essentially stuff like that happened, and he's just like nah. Yeah, especially when it came to his own health, like especially being as rich as he is. Why why trust your, you know a doctor, yeah, that's normal GP when you can get like a professional for your health.

SPEAKER_05 16:36

If you are a doctor, like why not just take that little bit of extra time to just do a little bit of research and see what's actually out there because there should there's probably a lot of stuff that they don't know, like and yes, they are doctors, and like you said, they specialize in in certain things, but there's also like a lot of things in women's bodies that fucking a lot of people don't know. So, like, even just speaking to a specialist that's in that certain field and be like, hey, I've got this patient here, she has these type of symptoms. What do you reckon? And they'd be like, Oh, it could be this, this, and this, and this, blah blah blah. Just yeah, Dana White, hell yeah. Wait, is that a good thing? I think that's a good thing. Why is he not bad? Why is he bad? Firstly, I don't know. That's what I'm saying. Is it a good thing? Yeah, yeah, hell yeah, Dana White. Legend. I think so. Anyway, talking about um fat people as well. What?

SPEAKER_02 17:27

Um I forgot. I was saying before.

SPEAKER_04 17:30

Um, fat people get uh misdiagnosed all the time. Because they're fat. Essentially, what happens is doctors would be like, oh no, these are problems because of your weight. I heard this story recently from I can't remember her name, but it was uh a lady that was bigger went to the doctor having these problems, such, such, and such. Doctor being like, nah, your weight, you need to lose weight. So she would have been like five foot five and like huge hundred and something kilos. Yeah, like large and sorry, dangerously dense. And anyway, the doctor was just like, no, you're too big, like you've got to lose weight. These are where your problems are coming from. And this lady committed to like a whole year routine, lost so much weight, got to like healthy weight for her age, or like her height was like 55 kilos or whatever it was. That's fine. To go back to the doctor and be like, I still have all these problems to find out there was actually something wrong.

SPEAKER_01 18:36

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 18:39

It just tricked you into losing weight, tricked you into losing weight, and then it was like, I think it said it was something damaging, like it can't remember how the story goes. But anyway, like you're not being treated, you have to lose all this weight, lose all this weight to find out, oh, yeah, no, this is the problem, but that's gone too long now, so that part of your body is damaged now permanently.

SPEAKER_05 18:59

So they could have prevented the thing by treating her when she was overweight. But they were just saying it was the weight. I've been trying to get onto this. Um, and you just keep talking, you fucking asshole. Chuck Norris died, bro. You know, Chuck Norris.

SPEAKER_04 19:16

Do it, do it. I want to do it. How many Chuck Norris jokes did you prepare for today? Not many. What? Not many.

SPEAKER_05 19:22

You don't know just many? None? Do you have any? No. What? I'm relying on you because you're you're the jokester. I'm not a jokester. Well, how many did you come with a baby?

SPEAKER_02 19:36

Ah, Chuck Norris been at the hospital he was born in.

SPEAKER_00 19:39

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 19:40

Chuck Norris drove his mum home from the hospital.

SPEAKER_04 19:43

Do you know Chuck Norris once got angry at dinosaur? Oh, we don't have it anymore.

SPEAKER_05 19:49

Would make sense because he's an absolute fucking weapon. I know that I don't actually think he knows that he's dead. Chuck Norris died like 20 years ago, just death was too scared to tell him. Yeah, that that would make sense. I I think I just know he's just not dead, it's just false. And I have heard that they're just he's just in a cryo chamber uh waiting to come back.

SPEAKER_04 20:12

Waiting to come back. Do you know Chuck Norris once kicked a horse in the head? Those are now called giraffes.

SPEAKER_05 20:21

I love Chuck Norris' jokes. Well, there's um most children check their closet for the boogeyman every night, but the boogeyman checks his closet for Chuck Norris every night. Yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_04 20:31

Yeah, God said, let there be light. Chuck Norris said, say please.

SPEAKER_01 20:36

Yeah, see, I knew he came with his It only takes Chuck Norris 20 minutes to watch 60 minutes.

SPEAKER_04 20:44

When Chuck Norris left school, he told his dad, You're the man in the house now.

SPEAKER_05 20:51

Bro, what a fucking weapon though. What too? Talking about Chuck Norris, like I know he was in movies and shit. But Waldo is actually hiding from Chuck Norris. That's a good one. Um what is he actually famous for? Because I know he's he's a man's man action movies before your time.

SPEAKER_01 21:11

Yeah, so I know he was like full, like the Bruce Lee type fucking movies. Yeah, so like in like the 70s, I guess, late 70s, maybe early 80s, you had a spring of these like B movie, just like low budget. I mean, at the time they probably weren't low budget, but you know, just pretty shitty action movies where it was plot and acting came way below like stunts and like action, and they used to just churn those movies out, and he was a bunch of just to bloke that was fucking in a moment. And then that kind of then turned into maybe like the Arnie more actual Hollywood blockbuster action movies.

unknown 21:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 21:52

Bro, such a good fucking movie. Yeah. Factor is a fucking weapon, though. Like, I don't think I've actually seen him in any movie apart from Like ones where he plays Chuck Norris. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:03

Imagine being that good, you get to play yourself and just be the ultimate, like, I know.

SPEAKER_05 22:08

I think one of the only movies that I've seen him in is Expendables. Yeah. I think it was Expendables 2 or Expendables 3. And he was like the man. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:18

Even in that, they make like a Chuck Norris joke about his character. Like they do all these facts that we would, they start doing those kind of jokes about his character in Expendables.

SPEAKER_02 22:26

Bro, just imagine being like that. He's like the ultimate meme.

SPEAKER_05 22:34

Yeah, he's the man.

SPEAKER_04 22:35

Like he became essentially a meme, but the ultimate meme. Like, if you ever wanted to become a meme, that was that meme. Like being the man's man.

SPEAKER_05 22:45

He's just like one of those blokes that is just a manly fucking man. And I know before he died, he posted a video of him sparring up that one. He's just sparring up. And he's like, I don't fucking 86 years old. Yeah. Do you know actually what is funny about Chuck Norris is that Chuck Norris? Like 10. Probably 15 years ago. Like, do you remember the old commercials where they would um like the real old commercials where they'd be trying to sell you like a Pilates machine, but the ones that you just like hold and spin, and they're just like, if you do this for fucking 10 minutes, you can have abs like Chuck Norris. And Chuck Norris is in these ads just doing dumb shit at like the age of 70. And he's just like, you should be like me too if you do this.

SPEAKER_04 23:30

What else do you do? You go on side quests when you complete the main goal. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 23:34

I mean, Chuck Norris is just there's nothing to say about good things.

SPEAKER_00 23:39

I don't think there's anything bad about Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris is cool.

SPEAKER_04 23:45

Trying to think of any other jokes I had stash up here.

SPEAKER_05 23:48

You know you have a fair few in there.

SPEAKER_04 23:50

There's some I can think of. Something like about to do with Chuck Norris has a fist behind his beard. Gonna shave himself with the rock, but the rock beg for mercy.

SPEAKER_05 24:00

Stuff like that. Yeah, you can. I feel like you can just come up with these on the spot. Go give us uh give us your on the spot off the dump. Improvised, yeah. Let's go. I have nothing. We were talking about improvisation the other day.

SPEAKER_01 24:12

We'll give you a topic and you have to make a Chuck Norris joke out of it. The topic is sunflowers.

SPEAKER_02 24:18

Sunflowers. You got it. The only thing I can think of is like something to do with plants with zombies right now.

SPEAKER_01 24:27

You could say something like, uh, because sunflowers always face the sun, right? Unless Chuck Norris enters the garden and they face away.

SPEAKER_00 24:37

That's good, dude. That's good.

SPEAKER_01 24:39

Or common misconception. People think uh sunflowers are looking at the sun, but they're actually looking away from Chuck Norris.

SPEAKER_05 24:47

Wait, I think you met your back two music.

SPEAKER_02 24:51

The sun doesn't come up in the morning. Chuck Norris doesn't want to come up.

SPEAKER_05 24:55

Something like that. Chuck Norris is just on the other side of the world. Fucking I'm I'm shit at these. I'm bad. Yeah, this segment has gone quickly downhill.

SPEAKER_04 25:04

Yeah, it's so hard to just be like, ha, now do it.

SPEAKER_05 25:07

Yeah, be funny. Yeah, be funny. The the main topic for today that we actually wanted to talk about was uh the importance of friendship and connection and catching up with those friends. Yeah. One of the saddest things that I find is that especially when you're good friends, like you chill with your friends, you make friends when they're here, and then something in life will come up and they'll move away. And a lot of the time, like you'll still have this connection with the person, whether it be sending reels to each other or all that type of stuff. Um, and you just lose that like human connection or that best friend like status type thing when you're away from each other and life gets in the way and you don't talk to each other as much. And all and it I just found that it was really nice that I could spend two to three days with Adam. We went to bounce, we were the only adults there. We went to we went and did rock climbing, and we also went and played golf, which was fucking awesome because we're both so trash. And we could like it was just as if we didn't part ways.

SPEAKER_04 26:10

Yeah, look, uh if you don't like reassure those friendships when you're like apart for so long, they will fizzle out. Like when if you see them in person and whatnot, like it's all you still like it, yeah, it's like you've never missed a day. But it's that when you're so separated for so long and talking over the phone is never the same as catching up in person.

SPEAKER_05 26:33

But also talking over the phone, you um you still reassure the other person, especially if you just call them randomly.

SPEAKER_03 26:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 26:39

Where they're like, Oh yeah, this dude's actually thinking about me. How how sick is that? And then it just it reciprocates from there. Like you're both just talking to each other and you still have that connection. But then when you do go and meet up in person, then it's like sick, we're still sick.

SPEAKER_04 26:53

Because it it essentially helps with I know when people move away, especially like to the city, like Adam did and stuff like that, you feel very isolated because you need to make new friends and you need to do this, and you just want to be back with the boys, where you came from and you know how things used to be. And that calling randomly and just you know going to catch up really helps kill that isolated feeling of like not having anyone or not but not feeling like you can't actually go hang out when you can, like it's a weekend trip, you know, go hang out with them. Because obviously, isolation is one of the main factors of mental health. If you isolate yourself, your mind runs wild, things go bad, and just that random call, catching up with friends, that's super important, especially if you want to keep a nice healthy friendship.

SPEAKER_05 27:43

It's just nice to just catch up with them. Like I f I find it so hard now, like you said, like you kind of gotta make new friends. And this you can relate to this a lot is that when you and Regan uh started the gym, it was you two training together the whole time. And then obviously Regan uh moved away, and then it's kind of just been you. And then it was the same with me and Adam when I started the gym a few months later. I met Adam, and then me and Adam just trained like you and Regan were trained for four years or three years, and then me and Adam were training for the same amount of time, and then they both moved away. And then you kind of gotta readjust to this different circumstance when it comes to something that you both met at and still keep going and still have this same passion, even though that person that pushed you isn't there anymore. Which sucks because like me and Adam got close and we met through the gym. It was like me and you, like me and you met through the gym. We did, but you train like a little fucking bitch now. Because you go show elbow, your elbow shaw.

SPEAKER_02 28:48

Oh, yeah. Bro, my elbow is cool.

SPEAKER_05 28:52

See, I don't know, but my my elbows die. You have friends probably all over the world in Ibiza.

SPEAKER_01 29:01

Yeah, I I don't have any friends here. I have all my friends are remote, I guess.

SPEAKER_05 29:08

Yeah, so what's what's one thing that you like? How do you keep in touch with all your friends? Poorly.

SPEAKER_01 29:15

Which is very I'm bad at that, but it's not just my friends, it's my family. I'm just not big. We spoke about this in a previous episode. Like my partner is on video call with her parents every weekend. I speak to my mom video call a handful of times a year, and it's normally when she needs IT help, you know what I mean? But like I have group chats with friends. So a big thing I always say to people, as someone who's been through this a lot, like over years, I've kind of gotten used to it. Like you were saying, like people get lonely when they get isolated. And I've kind of been through all that. Like when I first moved to Australia, and when a lot of people move overseas for the first time or go traveling, you have this period of loneliness where you kind of regret leaving and kind of think everyone goes through it. But then once you kind of come out over it, you realize that it's not as bad as it seems, like, especially in the world that we live in today. Like all of my friends, all of my like best mates that I've been mates with for 15 odd years, I could message them all instantly with my the power of my phone. Do you know what I mean? And like I can have a conversation. Like I'm never feel that alone knowing that everybody I know is just one phone call away or a message away, even though I don't actively speak to them that often. But like I said, we have the group chat going. So I feel like we're always connected. We kind of stay up to date with each other. Um, in fact, one thing I wanted to bring up when we were going to speak about this subject was something me and my mate started doing in this group chat. So we're best mates who have been for like 20 years. I mean, some of them go even further back than that, but like you said, over the last 10 years, I've moved to Australia, another one's moved to Canada, another one's in New Zealand. Like we're really well spread out. Others have got married and got kids, others have whatever. Um, we started doing this thing that we saw online, which I think is brilliant, called the Wednesday waffle. You ever heard of a Wednesday waffle?

SPEAKER_05 30:57

I feel I'm gonna try and tell you what it is. You can tell me if I'm wrong. Okay, it's not a sex thing. No, no, no. Damn, I was hoping it was gonna be. Uh, I feel like to me, when I hear Wednesday waffle, it would be something to do like either you boys get into the group chat, you guys call, and you just talk uh shit on the Wednesday about shit that's been going on.

SPEAKER_01 31:17

Pretty much, but it's even less effort than that. So uh it was a guy on TikTok was promoting it as he started doing it with his boys in the group chat for this very reason to stay better connected, where it's just every Wednesday, you just send a little video update, you film yourself talking for one, two, three, four minutes, whatever, uh, and just a little update. Hey boys, how are you doing? This and just explain what you did the last week. And we started doing that, and every single week, not maybe not everyone does it every week, but at least every week a couple of us might do it, and then the other guys might do it, and then we all chime in and like, oh come on, Matt, you haven't sent one in weeks. Tell us what's going on with you. And it was fantastic. I have now a massive collection from like over a year where we just send videos to each other giving little updates on how things are going. Um, and I thought that was a really cool way to stay in touch.

SPEAKER_04 32:01

That is actually a really, really good way to do things, and it's so, like you said, low effort, and it's just low effort, but a big impact.

SPEAKER_01 32:10

Yeah, especially you could do it. Some of our mates they do it just while they're driving to work, walking the dog, like it's just a couple minutes out of your day, wherever, and it's just your mates, you don't need to worry about the production quality of the video or looking like a twat, like you're not publicly posting it, you're sending it to your boys. Um, yeah, yeah, a really good way to just kind of stay in touch.

SPEAKER_05 32:29

Yeah. On like TikTok, like not like going like personal, but just talking about the things that pissed you off. Because I feel like that type of thing would unload so much shit from your head in the boys' group chat. And you'll probably get the piss taken out of you if it's something stupid or fucking whatever, but like that's the comedic side of things, and it makes it funny. Like it turns like something where you're just like, yo, boys, like fucking broke my arm today. Like, and then they could be like, Oh, what were you doing? Fucking jerking your fucking shit too hard and you finally snapped your elbow.

SPEAKER_01 33:01

Like, you know, it just it just turns it into I mean, there has been a lot of that, a lot of stuff that like me and the boys wouldn't normally even talk about, like just how you're doing. Like, if we're catching up, it's normally like, what are you doing? What have you been up to? But on the Wednesday waffles, you see people's mood change week to week. Like, there might be weeks where I'm really struggling and you can see I'm just doing my Wednesday waffle, like another week, feeling miserable, life sucks, whatever, and then the next week I'm all chippy and someone else is like actually I'm really struggling at the moment. We all yeah, ebb and flow to like support each other, and it's a yeah, really cool thing to do.

SPEAKER_05 33:31

So on the Wednesday waffles, is if there is someone that is that posts a video and you can tell that they're struggling, they're saying, Yeah, just struggling life shit, do you do not all the boys, but do all of them kind of like chip in, be like, yo, what's up? Like, what can we do? Is there anything that we can do, bro?

SPEAKER_01 33:47

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, most of us it's it would just be like, hey brother, we've been I've been there before, you know. But most of the time it's been like tough time never lasts, only tough people last, you know. Yeah, so like connecting with the things last or not anymore.

SPEAKER_05 34:02

Only for a certain period. Yeah, that's um that is yeah, I like that. I fucking love that actually.

SPEAKER_01 34:08

That's really, really and sometimes we'll go months without doing it, and all it takes is one of the boys, normally me, who realizes it's a Wednesday, and I just send them boys, it's fucking Wednesday, haven't caught up with you in a while. Here's what's happening with me. Let me see what's happening. I just did that a few days on last Wednesday, and now I've got like four videos from my mates to watch.

SPEAKER_04 34:23

It's like I I do this thing with my missus. We have like a little uh originally it was like a shopping list book kind of thing that we have, and like because we work week on, week off, so she's away and whatnot. We'll like write like a page or two in there, just leave it there, and then the other person will might get to it in one week or someday, they'll get to it, read it, write their section in it, and eventually it'll come back to me, and then I'll write some things in it. And it's like a one-way conversation essentially with the other person. You can just say things, and it's nice, like it's uh it's not a Wednesday waffle, but it's uh it's just something I do with my partner to just you know, say things you don't normally say or won't normally come up in conversation.

SPEAKER_05 35:03

I don't know why, but this kind of reminds me like it's similar, but not we're like we're not actually writing and not talking to each other. But for the past, I'm not even kidding, three years, we have this little tiny baby, this little, little, little, little tiny baby, and we hide it until the other person finds it, and then they hide it again. It's like this little connection thing that we've been doing, and I haven't found it for fucking months. But she will like hide it in the most obvious spot. Like there was one that I found where we have like a hole in the wall where there was an old light and she hid it in there, and you could only just see the tip of the head. And if you were actively looking for it, maybe you would have found it. But I was just like, I think the reason why I found it is because I was trying to like I was up there trying to drill some holes, and I kind of looked in the hole. I was like, what the fuck is that? And it was this little baby, and it's just been cool to like have this little game to keep playing, and you're just like you it's it's almost like you're you're bringing out your inner child, where you're just like just playing these little games. Yeah, like it's literally like a little tiny plastic baby, and you just hide it in in different places, and it's cool. I mean, it's not not like a Wednesday.

SPEAKER_01 36:14

It's a little different from these two, but completely different, nothing similar whatsoever.

SPEAKER_05 36:18

It's all it's I think the thing that correlates both of the two is like it's a little connection thing, right? So like you're you're doing this one-way conversation and you're doing your um your Wednesday waffles, and even though we're not actually talking to each other, it's like this little thing that we connect with each other where we're playing a different game or this game.

SPEAKER_02 36:37

You're reaching hard, aren't you?

SPEAKER_05 36:38

Oh, I mean, tell me I'm wrong. Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me I'm wrong.

SPEAKER_01 36:42

I get the connection, it's fine.

SPEAKER_02 36:44

It's a connection. That's right.

SPEAKER_05 36:47

A connection.

SPEAKER_02 36:48

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 36:49

Lily and I do handshakes. We have a couple like secret handshakes, you know what I mean? I mean, they're not secret, but there's just like these odd. We have like maybe three just little handshakes that we've just made up once upon a time, and then every now and then she knows, depending on how I present my hand to her, what I'm doing, and it just it just feels cool sometimes when we're at the gym and we just bust one out like after the class or whatever, we're just like just like casual.

SPEAKER_05 37:14

That's just like a childish game thing. It's it's cool, it's fun, it's cool. It's cool, I'm sorry, sorry that you're depressed, all right?

SPEAKER_04 37:24

Um, I do we just try you know how you do the champ and buddy? We have like a whole list and we just rattle through the list every time. You just insult each other.

SPEAKER_02 37:31

You'd be like some something is like, all right, buddy, and then it's like champ, and it's like tough guy, fella, skidma, turbo, dipstick, tail light, and we just like we got to the point, it's it's getting worse because at this point we're just rattling off car terms. Like the other day, I told I called her a transmission tunnel or like a tail shaft, and every time it's the same thing, we'll just keep going to one of us, just bust out loud.

SPEAKER_05 37:57

It's so funny because within the context, it feels like an insult.

SPEAKER_04 38:00

But anything could be an insult, you fucking transmission, like yeah, it's just going back to JP being a classic mechanic.

SPEAKER_01 38:07

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 38:09

That's what she's doing too, right?

SPEAKER_05 38:10

So yeah, no, it's good, but yeah, um connect, connect with your boys. Connect with the boys. That's where I fuck with that.

SPEAKER_04 38:18

We're Wednesday Waffles.

SPEAKER_05 38:20

I do as well. That's it's a really, really cool.

SPEAKER_01 38:21

Yeah, as soon as I saw the guy on TikTok, so shout out the original creator, it's not us. But uh, as soon as I saw that TikTok, I like downloaded it, sent it into the group chat. Like, we need to start doing this, and all the boys were like, hell yeah.

SPEAKER_05 38:32

Anyway, um that's it. I do have a present for you though.

unknown 38:37

No, thanks.

SPEAKER_05 38:38

Yeah. Now this is so this is something that I know that you've told me about. Let's just make sure it's in here. Yeah, it's in there. You've openly said that you want this, and I've been trying to find this for ages, and I'm happy that I can present you this. That I think you've told me that you've wanted this about a countless amount of times for probably over the last year. Something pointless that I no, that's what that's what you do. You give me stupid little ducks. That's that's not funny. This is meaningful, nice, and fun. Fuck that thing off.

SPEAKER_02 39:18

Have you seen this, Timmy?

SPEAKER_01 39:19

He what he did the episode. Yeah, of course I've seen it. I had to edit that fucking sham of a sleeping.

SPEAKER_05 39:28

It's so dumb. But anyway, this is don't don't show the front because it's got my address. I would never dox myself, but hey birthday, friend.

SPEAKER_04 39:37

Thank you. All right, for those wondering, it is street name that's my address on the phone, you fucking idiot.

SPEAKER_05 39:43

Anyway, like I was saying, street name.

SPEAKER_04 39:46

No, I don't say so.

SPEAKER_05 39:47

When you when you open it, so you can either open it, don't look at it first and show the camera, or you can look at it first and then show the camera.

SPEAKER_04 39:57

Am I gonna break it if I like it?

SPEAKER_05 39:59

No, it's like metal. But good luck because it's that type of plastic. Show the show the camera first, turn around. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 40:07

I think I know what it is immediately. Oh, okay, it's not like the noise. You can give that out!

SPEAKER_05 40:16

That's not for you to hand out. I'm hoping that we we find a friend.

SPEAKER_01 40:23

I thought genuinely. I can't believe they let you buy it without the picture.

SPEAKER_02 40:28

It says official documentation grant any holder permission to say the n-word. Used responsibly, granted by www.mpath.co. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_05 40:42

Yeah, so technically you can't actually say shit until someone hands you that card.

SPEAKER_04 40:46

I thought it was genuinely gonna be because I thought about getting one of you these make metal cards like this, but it just says autism card. Nice. And I was gonna get you one.

SPEAKER_01 40:57

It's metal.

SPEAKER_02 40:58

Yeah, it's okay, it's it's quality. Good, good quality.

SPEAKER_05 41:02

It's it, it's so funny because I wanted it. I don't want it.

SPEAKER_04 41:05

You're a racist one. I know that you say it all the time. I say it. What last episode? Episode four.

SPEAKER_01 41:11

It's not racist if you have the past. That's the point.

SPEAKER_02 41:16

This is weird you can say it. I'm probably like the most against this out of everyone I know. Where did you even how much did this cost you?

SPEAKER_05 41:29

That's for you to know.

SPEAKER_04 41:30

Did you have to donate to an Nigerian prince to get this?

SPEAKER_05 41:33

You know what's funny is I had to um send in photo ID to make sure that I was black. I got a photo off Google. No, it's it like I was just Doom Scroll on it and I saw that an ad popped up and I was like, hell yeah.

SPEAKER_02 41:50

What are your targeted ads?

SPEAKER_05 41:57

Just gonna need the part. How awesome is that though? Like, I actually just kind of bought it because the the um the way that they presented the thing, I actually thought it was gonna come in like a chest and you could like have a little key to unlock it.

SPEAKER_01 42:14

I don't know if that's right to have there. Right. I don't know if that's right to have. It's like owning a gun, isn't it?

SPEAKER_02 42:24

I don't know if you'd have that, but you have it.

SPEAKER_05 42:27

Yeah, true. Well, that's probably gonna be the end of this episode, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you guys for watching. Um to wrap this whole episode up, uh why did I just say both? Uh just go see multiple doctors if you are dealing with something. Um doctors, specialists. Specialists. We've already gone into this.

SPEAKER_01 42:48

Yes. Second opinions, specialists. That's right. If you think there is something wrong with you and you doubt the advice you've been given, go see someone else. Go see someone else. Don't just deal with something because someone told you to.

SPEAKER_04 43:02

Second opinion does not hurt you or them or anyone.

SPEAKER_01 43:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 43:05

And R.I.P. Chuck Norris. Or if you I know you are out there, Chuck Norris, just come back.

SPEAKER_04 43:11

Who's gonna punch you through the camera somehow?

SPEAKER_05 43:13

I can I can say that. Um, and also reach out to the boys. Reach out, boys, get a weekly waffle going. Yep, that's right. Get a weekly Wednesday waffle um and just open up, even if it's just a one-way thing. So I hope everyone enjoyed this episode. Uh, go below to Clink all Clink. What was that?
