Hi, I'm Amy Shepherd. I'm locked and Stewart and although we have different last names, we're married. Now, we've been told the secret to a successful marriage is communication. So we're going to talk it out every week. Share our challenges, and pet peeves. Then we're setting each other. Some goals, some couple goals, couple goals. The podcast is for those who might be looking to life their way through challenging scenarios that all couples.

Let's see if this works. Well, we have back back, we

We are still tote that is people who have taken time out of your evening to join us for the live and the very first live episode

Of course, once you who are listening in and couldn't make the live, I've chopped all my hair off and it's short. It's like chin length and it feels great. I just woke up in the morning. Brush. The side. Brush that side, ready? Well, you see. I bet you I won cuz I don't even have to do that.
I just wake up. And should I go really, really sure why not? Well, let's see what happens before. We really dive into this episode. Firstly, as Amy said, we're so stoked to have you tuning in from wherever you're tuning in. I guess a bit of housekeeping because, as much as we're going to record this episode, and we're going to put it live on the show for next week, we want To connect with you.

Yeah, you know, we get to answer your question.
So, in the meantime, if you do have questions, post them in the side and we will do our best to answer them on the Fly, but what's been happening, Dal, the last week what's been going on? Like busy but still in Brisbane, which has been nice. I've just been doing lots of songwriting. And I mean, if you guys are members of my patreon, you are privy to, some of my little song ideas that I drop in there. And I do that because I really love the feedback.
I love to share what I've just written and I get really excited about it. But I often, you know, I don't want to put it out to their world, I just want to put it out to my very close Go sir. That goes to my patreon members and its really nice hearing the feedback and which ones I really, really love. Yeah, well, I was actually because you gave me your password to patreon just recently. So I get to little inside scoop
because I'm not in it really. I kind of a.m. but not really and I saw you uploaded a song that I hadn't heard. The Ricochet. One Ricochet. Yeah, cheeky actually showed a client today because I was like, yeah, I get really embarrassed because I with new songs. I'm still kind of learning how to Play it in my brains like think about guitar and singing it, you know, when you when you have practice songs over and over again, that's easy. But for a new song, it's like, oh, how does that go?
And then yeah. So it's a bit clunky. But well, you know, that's that's the charm of getting a new idea. I would love to be in that position because I'm just struggling to strum. So the fact that you can do that and sing is quite impressive. Yeah. It takes like it's like you know when you pat your head and rub your belly like that kind of thing. Hmm. I Yes, I do actually do it. What's been happening in your world lucky? Well, I didn't news from very
exciting. Well, I'd rather you announced at the me why But it's, you're my biggest fan. Well, lucky I do. You guys want to hear the news? I don't know, where can we are see their comments again, if you guys want to hear the news, post it in the comments or give us some hearts or loves if you're watching on YouTube? I'm really, really proud of this news. Why are you proud wife? Proud wife? Yeah, because I am the wife of an athlete. Everybody already knew that, but a professional.
Athlete, which you already wear but yeah. Anyway. Okay, going you tell ya, you are we getting there in a roundabout way. So some of you may know that lucky did a Spartan Race, a couple of weekends ago and he didn't train for it. He was just like I'm just gonna see how I go do it for fun. I don't think you've been wanted to do all of the races know you three. How many was it? I did a five kilometer 10 km and 21 km and I was supposed to do with my mates if my mates are watching this.
It's your fault. So all the people by all these friends bailed because and they had other, yeah, they had other commitments. So lucky did them all and he did so well that he managed to get qualified for the World Championships of Spartan Racing obstacle course racing. They call it and he's going to Belgium to compete and it's So exciting because he got the email. He's been invited and now we're planning a trip. Well, I'm planning a trip. Funny, a trip to Europe.
I'm, I can't go to that one, but I make so excited for you and me living through. Yeah, it's like a little athlete, spillage. There's like a uniform, it's not until the story. Yeah. Well, they pass it over to me the excitement's getting to me. But yeah, there's a hole opening ceremony. There's a, it's like a mini Olympics are trying to. It's the very first year, so they're putting together Spartan
races. The Warrior. Obstacle course, all the there's Tough Mudder, all of that making this cool little sport, called the world, obstacle course, racing championships and it's on the ski slopes in gank in Belgium. I think it's pronounced gang. Is it going to be cold? I think in September September, I'd imagine it will be 0. That is warm is Brisbane. I hope that it is it going to be snowing? Nah, I don't know. Well, I'm gonna have to prepare anyway. So now I've had to start
training. Do you think like it's going to be up in the mountains? Did you have to do is an altitude training? Where am I possibly going to do some altitude training? Oh, there is there are facilities that you can do. You can do. There is our locker. Yeah, I could do that. I don't actually know. Well, I'm going to just start start with training for it specifically for starters, and then we'll go from there. But anyway, it's a cool
experience. I have always loved what I really love is like as you get older, there's now more sports that you can get into, you don't sort of leave your athletic career behind when you leave your 30s. So I think that's awesome. So have you ever qualified for a World sport before never? I've been like a national champion and all of that but then rugby was always taking me away from other sports and now that I don't even know how good you were. It's climbing shit.
Well it's probably thought I reckon it's because you have to always jump over my clothes and shit. That's where. Yeah, getting through our bedroom, just to my side because I am situated on the window side of the bed to get to my side of the bed, I have to either climb over Amy's clothes or even Laying there. And then on the morning, I'm going to do the exact same thing in the dark, so you can. Thank me later. I'm a fair shot. Present from Europe. Well, there you go. So my take.
Now we've got the decision on who's coming with me because and we can't some it's down to three people. It's down to Bradley those who follow me. Brad's my one of my best mates and business partner. And we got mum, obviously, she's in the running and then Liam, you all know who Liam is actually episode 2. Two or something? Yeah, it was he was one of the early adopters of the couple goals, you know. So he's there as well. So we'll see.
We might put keys in a bowl and see who gets drawn out. Anyway, that's that's what I've been up to now. I work and training sleep for the next 16 weeks. Yeah, exciting. But we're going to live boring last for a couple of months, but then we got some exciting stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Really excited. Well, let's let's let's transition into your foot. So get this right once again. For those who have been listening for a number of weeks, we're in a temporary Studio. Where Amy's got a tick, tock
live straight after this. So we're trying to not mess up what they've got situated. I've put some notes down here and on a board and for those who are in Amy's, patron of take a photo photo of it so you can see what I'm dealing with here. Meanwhile aim is to this is her feet. She's just sitting here like this with her feet all over the Whiteboard with the notes. Realize that's what you doing. Like why are you looking at so intently, like make it subtle.
So as I'm trying to transition to where we're And next because I don't know, all I can see is a big hoof. Sorry. These are very talented Hooks and those Hoops actually got something to do with tonight's Reddit. So we've, we've got a, we've got a prompt. Now, we just go into, we should we switch it up? No, no, you want to save it, but I reckon. What do you reckon? What do you guys reckon? Do you want us to go? What are our options here? We can.
Comment to enter the notes. Read on Reddit section or we can go into our main topic of the evening. Oh main topic or Amy's? Reddit section. Now Amy's Reddit section, involves a banana involves this banana okay. Involves this lovely looking banana. There is a nice shape to that banana. And the only way you're going to find out what the hell. This banana is doing here. And what can be done with this banana aside from eating, it is
by commenting. So Mitch says, to hell with plans, so he wants to hear the story. Well, Zach Bernardo says go to the Meto. We got a 50-50. We need at least one more person to hit us up here to give us, you know, all enemies come through with the goods. So before we go into Amy's Reddit, Kirstie. Lovely, lady from Canberra, dropped us a line. And she was saying how exciting Amy's Life Sounds because she grew up in Papua New Guinea as she shared on an earlier episode.
And she wanted to know what it's like so quick little Segway in under 30 seconds and me. What was it like growing up in Papua New Guinea. So it was pretty very different from growing up anywhere in the first world because it's a third world country. And I didn't know any different because obviously, I was born there. Are we did come back to Australia for holidays, which was really exciting for me because, you know, I could cross the street and that could go the park as a kid and PNG has a
really high crime rate. So there's no going to the park and hanging out outside unless you, which we did a lot on the weekends. We'd go out to the islands on a boat and we'd hang out with our friends and that was always safe. The same thing to do on the weekend. So yeah, I always loved being in the tropics, I think that's because that's where I grew up any I like to go, you know, to Hawaii or to like somewhere warm and yeah, that obviously comes from Growing Up in PG.
But yeah, we had some crazy experiences as well. You know, being not the safest place in the world. We definitely had some scary moments there which maybe I'll save for another episode but we really covered it. Maybe maybe maybe not. I cannot relax some pretty serious things happened but we made it through and it's weird. I feel like I haven't LED like a part of me will always be Impact in, PNG Ivan life. Yeah, you do love laying down with your feet crossed on my board ring.
Yeah. Cocktails, I do think that's the island. No. But also like there's some really beautiful people and although they've got, you know, some social issues and lots of crime once you get out of the city, it's just so beautiful. It's Untouched by tourists, the people are just so kind and I really miss that about it. But Thank, you know, it's shaped who I am as a person. I feel like I feel like I'm
fairly down-to-earth. Yeah, considering and I think that's because I've seen how a lot of people live, you know, most of the most of the population in the world, have it really tough. So I think, you know, growing up amongst that has realized made me realize how lucky that I am cool. Well let's let's there's some so many buttons on here that are just grabbing my attention that I'm like, how can we Utilizing me.
But let's let's see what this does in order to segue, to your Reddit, doing a, grab your phone and get the red it up. Let's see what this does. Judy wasn't ready, you're ready? Take a read and read it with seven. He said, like a late night phone line. Like sorry guys for cutting you off there. It was about to get good anyway. We are back with Amy's, Reddit. So, I came across this late last night when I was scrolling read
it, and it made me laugh. I don't know what he felt me, chuckle, but I screenshot it right away because I wanted to share it with you guys. So very relatable for Lucky. My wife. Oh, oh. What's the username mi-28? Me, anyway. Yes, but how old I am, but I double the age of each other. Yeah. Over double My wife refuses to cut her toenails. The title is pretty self-explanatory. I know it might seem funny at first but I'm legitimately at a loss.
I wake up every morning with painful scratches all over my legs. She kicks at night, her toenails are so sharp. Whenever I asked her to cut them, she just responds. I don't like the feeling of my nails being clicked. I've even tried cutting them while she's asleep, but she woke up and we got into a heated
argument. She says the scratches on my legs must be coming from somewhere else, but unless there are mice living in our sheets, I'm not quite sure where she thinks they're coming from, how can I confront her about this? And finally, get my old legs back. Oh my fucking god. Like how how, how long do you think we're talking right now for these Sports? I don't know, but they've got to be pretty sharp cutting his legs in the Well, that would hurt so much.
Let's can we, can we get your feet up here for a second but there's no way those on the. Yeah, this might go viral for a foot fetish because people pay hundreds of dollars for toes. Down a divorce, hit me says divorce, 1900 dial, and Amy. I mean, it's pretty gross. I've just had a pedicure today. So you know, this was gonna happen. No, but I think so happens that, you know, I have very nice vote. Yes. Shortly.
But, in order to get to that point must mean that they were overgrown at some point and just how much help what happens with toes know, of course. But just how much overgrown we will leave up to everyone's imagination. But let's just assume they were unlike me. This lady could be. Yeah. But if she doesn't like people cutting them they must be really. What do you guys think in the comments? How long is too long? Look, I've got a quick segue and then we're going to come back to
why the banana is here. But I have been a Savage. Now to a my whole life is only been two times that I can ever recall not chewing my nails and I've actually grown in back through these beautiful things. They're not manicure. They're just self looked after. But last year when I was rolling the marathon's I think could because I was so tired, I didn't even think about it. And now all of a sudden like what would it have been a month ago?
I just stopped chewing my nails things to worry about. Maybe I've grown up finally, filthy habit because you have all, Sorts of literally shit under your nails and that's how you get worms but it's just wrong. When you chew toy, if you chew it, germs in your mouth, what do you guys think? Do you think that's a good way of looking at it? Or not so much, but to sure I'm not too short of, if you're putting holes in your own socks, as well as your husband's sake, you've got a problem.
I totally and I have had sharp toenails before and scratched you right? 100%. Oh my goodness! That's what you like. Oh sorry. so, I mean I did is weird thing which Maybe we've spoken about before maybe we haven't I can't remember.
But when we're watching like Netflix or whatever and sometimes you know we'll put the laptop between between the two of us. So it's not on anyone's area because you know you're worried about those those Rays I will put it between us but around it. You can sort of like kick your foot through like so and Link toes like this they're like scissoring toes which is but that's what it is, right toes, it's a quite a unique. Spear Ian.
So if you and your partner aren't into that, give it a crack if you want to try something new holding hands, but some potatoes that is fucking weird. I hope none of us have tinea otherwise it just like and I hope it's jams. Yeah, I hope you guys try and get back to us on that. Yeah, the time I didn't share my nails was when I was pregnant. I have then this is a comment. I like yeah sorry this is let me post it up. Boom. I then covered them with
acrylics. Yeah. That's always a great way of stopping chewing. Your nails. I've got Builder gel on so it's like gel, but it's hard. It's like a powder and they dip your nail in it and it's great. The problem is they grow so long and strong that I can't play guitar anymore. So I have yeah phylum. Yeah, get them short. Yeah, well that's an issue. What do we got here? Ella has a question. I need some tips on how to stop now biting look. I don't have tips.
I do now that I stopped chewing, but yeah, I think I'm having gel or Builder or SNS. Helps with, Cecily is, it's also like an acrylic, but it's, yeah. It just makes your nails to hard to even chew. Yeah, okay. Well, there you go. So do that makes typing hard to. Yeah, I can get SNS and build on short nails so that's always an option as well. All right, well, this conversation is really taking a turn for the worst and Nails aren't really my thing anymore. So, let's move on.
Let's let's spice this up. So as your for those who are tuning in as well, let us know where you've tuned in from whether you're in Brisbane. Or I know we've got some American listeners, we have people tuning in from about I think it's 40-something countries at the moment. Listening to cover girls, which is pretty awesome. Considering we still don't know what we're doing here. We're just figuring it out but quickly before we go to this banana. Why do we even start couple
girls? For those who haven't listened to perform? We got Sunny Coast on the map with Carmen. Boom. Why did we start couple goals? That's a question terrible. Well Now you got another reason. We just wanted to do it. Yeah, yeah, we just thought we were newly married. We thought we could offer some laughs. We wanted to focus. That wasn't like to self helpy. We wanted like a bit of self-help, but in a fun way.
So, and I think relationships ever ammonium that a central figure of life, even if it's whether it's intimate, like we are, or it's just your mates, right? You got to Two same skills. Make good relationships. I think it's fun to talk about now. People don't like talking about sex because it's taboo. We don't talk about it on here, either. So apart from this banana, but it's taboo.
But then also other things in relationships and it's just fun to talk about it because we know we're not the only ones who want to rip each other's heads off from time to time not that Amy would want to do that to me. But not today. It does happen and we can learn just as much from you guys as this continues to grow and our community continues to grow and we get To do more cool stuff like this. And eventually once we sort of hit our stride, We're going to
do it live. We're going to hit some cafes or bars goal is to like start touring with. Yeah. That's how cool would that be? That would be pretty gnarly. I'm pretty damn for that. Alright, but let's finish the Reddit so I think that was absolutely disgusting to be honest. The fact that your partner is cutting you because they will not Practice personal hygiene. I think that's it. Heidi, I think it is to like, grow up a cave.
Yeah. Like, literally, like, if you're not cutting your nails, once myself like I can understand. Maybe there's some weird thing about someone else cutting your nails but if you you do it or file them, I'll figure it out because you're hurting your husband and it's not cool. Yeah I think there's compromise and we will dive into that into main topic because we got some cool stuff around. Now that you've moved my schedule around, I don't even know what we're talking about relationship.
Milestones and Transitions and how to not let your relationship go. Stay like this banana is because I've been holding it for bloody well, 10 minutes. Well, okay, so when Amy read me to read it today I was like that's a great topic because we're going to get to do something that we rarely have the opportunity to do for people. And Amy has his Habit in the last time I saw it. I was blown away. We have it's a party trick. It's a part of yes, so not
habitat. Talent where she can peel a banana with her toes and rumors are true. Quite rapidly. Has anyone seen this before? It has any can any one of the you do it? I reckon I could charge a lot on like a foot fetish.com. Well we're going to put this out for free, know it, we're putting on our patreon. I said we're putting it on patreon so it's not free, but it's from three dollars a month.
So, yes, you can. I would love for everyone to see what I've been trying to. We've got two bananas here. So why don't we both do it? We'll have a competition. What do you say? I can't do it. You can do it. This is going to get really weird guys and I didn't want to have to do this but we're going to do it anyway. Now normally the trick is to peel it from this end. How the but I had a banana peeling competition with my friend and she smoked me.
I don't banana. Just a casual banana peeling. Competition, your friend right? Oh, what kind of friend groups are you hanging out with? How are you? Film this. Well, I'm going to angle the camera down. But so, the tip is from the tip. You try from that, and I'll try it from this end. I'm going with that end. Okay. Well, let's just see. That's going to get me, it's gonna get fucking very with hot and you gotta go back. I can do it now. I've talked a big game, I can
you guys see? I can't say I've got a bit unlucky. Mitch's back him. Here I've looked I've legitimately never tried this in my life. You can't see it like but I ain't a quitter. Yeah. So here we go. I'd say can we start already prepared? Yeah, I'm going to win it. Hey I already feel it in my toes, ready? Who back in guys, too. You have to peel it up, so it didn't peel. Fuck damn it.
If you keep watching this, this is phenomenal, live footage of Anna Banana being peeled at. This is also extremely, who's hungry lucky, take a bath. Ah, those bananas are going straight to the bin, what a waste, but I thought, you know, when you told me I saw her, I was like, you can't not get Amy peeling, a banana on live stream for Everyone to watch.
I sort of went with probably the Just pull its head off approach and it definitely is not edible and Amy actually pills it quite nicely, so we're basically Apes. Yeah. Well, we were watching chimpanzee Empire. The other night if anyone's watching Empire on Netflix. Great watch. Great couple. They're so human like an Amy definitely fits in there. So let's move on. Let's move on from the Reddit. Let's go. What do we do? Pet peeves or main topic main topic?
It will say, yeah, we'll get some serious stuff. So what do we got here? Comment rolling in love this forum. Love the pod. Cass. Listen religiously. I always just assumed it was called couple goals as a smart way to promote the song. Well, the song is a really clever song where it's like, what are the least? I've got a couple Gold Cup goes. Yeah, something like that.
I can't. I have a couple of goals which are to be couple goals which means whatever you guys want to be in a relationship and were like hmm. That's just our own song. You can use your song. How cool? So Right? Well, we had some serious Talent. You are a talented lady, Amy. What can I say? People have been saying it forever and I'm starting to believe it, okay? So tonight's Tick-Tock there should be to eat them all my goodness. Oh my God, that's a great idea. We were onto something,
brilliant. So for those who are going to tune into Amy's, you know what? We need another banana because you got to peel it on the tick tock and then there is another banana in the bottle. Maybe one of you can Be eating these ones. First will give it to Georgia and then once again, we'll play him the video of this, how to be funny as well. We got to stick to a timeline because yeah, I know we're on track with killing it. Okay, so main topic. What is it today?
We've got now, we got a serious topic is so obviously relationship, milestones and transition. So part of couple goals is obviously to improve your relationship and there are these Do you mind if I take lead here? So there's a lot of pressure in relationships to be at certain Milestones as we hit certain ages. You know, I think for people that's by 30, a lot of people feel pressure to be married and have the house and all of that sort of stuff, and that might not just be the case for
everyone. So, I think it's important to talk about the relationship milestones and transitions between that. And we can discuss some common Milestones. Obviously, if Us. You think about things like moving in with your partner? The first time you get fairy cares we won't talk about that. But that's that's a thing, right? That's a thing that people consider marriage having children and I got a house together, buying a house
together. Yes. And wild stuff that you don't necessarily get taught how to transition into those phases. Because obviously, when you go from living with your mates, or at home with your family today, Living with your partner. It's a bit different right? Because well, you know, it's just weird in the beginning.
You don't have necessarily boundaries or maybe even rolls around who does what around the house and if you grow up in a, you know, a household, my mum did a lot of the things and my dad did a lot of other things. So there wasn't much for me to do. But then when you get dumped with all the responsibilities of a fuck who's doing that and if it doesn't get done, you can bicker and I think I kind of grew up in a household like that to, you know, like Dad goes to
work. Mum makes a home and Things Different these days, you know, women are going to work as well. And I think it's just as important for men to take some of the leadership in the house as well, because we both live in the house, why shouldn't I? I've got to work as well. So let's both pitch in and do the housework as well.
Hmm, and I think that comes to communication, which we talked about Yeah, but that being said, that means that there's no role models to look too because in previous generations. You know what? Women didn't go to work. Yeah, it's yeah. So could be just there is still Role Models but it's not gender specific anymore.
So if you could use a role model, for example, I feel like I'm pretty good around the house in like the kitchen item, a dish Pig excetera, but I can use a role model of other people who've been dish pigs, for example, so more role-specific than Gender specific. That's what you say. That you take little bits from HP. Yeah. Like, you can't.
Yeah, and it's, you know, I make it home stress one day and you'll, you know, I feel like it's very easy to go has to be 50/50 down the line with everything that we do. So if I feel like I've been given to you, I can get resentful or angry. That hey, I mean, do something nice for me, but sometimes in relations, it's 70/30 or 80/20. And it's just like this continue. It's never going to have a job, perfect.
Ali amazing even. But yeah you pick up slack where you have to do that because you're ultimately in a relationship, you're trying to achieve the same things. I think we I did get some beautiful points here that I would love to question any other conversations coming through? We share the load because we both work and have three kids. It's a lot of work and we're tired. It's awesome. That you guys share the load. We don't have kids yet, so we Don't know what it's like.
We got a lot of friends who have kids and that's how I guess why we feel the pressure as well because we're doing things how we want to do it as opposed to, you know, a lot of our friends of all got kids and at times, you can be gone. Fuck we dragging our feet. Yeah. We messed up. Have all those sorts of us? I think we all do have those thoughts. That's for sure. I wish because Glenn hates it. He cooks better than me. Yeah, I'm look, I'm if I'm cooking, it's the most simple meal.
You'll ever eat is literally proteins carbs fat, that's it. And, like, we're talking steak Legend MASH, which is fine on some days, but often I can do to spice it up a bit, so I'm happy for him to do this pick, but yeah, it's not fair to have to cook and clean and do the washing and change the sheets and whatever else. Oh yeah, I think that's important in a relationship hundred percent. 100%. We're going to obviously, look at like three main key pointers.
What we do is take your time with kids, bloody leeches, suck the life out of you. That's encouraging. Well yeah. She's all right, well, might take an extra step away from you but some key key things around this that we thought was worth while to get people thinking about in their relationships, whether you're in a relationship or you're not loss of autonomy. So there's a sense of obviously feeling controlled You know, you can we control and I would consider that a toxic relationship.
So if you're in that situation, you know, maybe start considering how you can navigate a way out of that suppress. Individuality so the person's individual individuality and personal growth can be stifled not allowed to make your own decisions. And also dependency. I see it a lot where people do become dependent on the other person. So when they're not around, or if they would ever leave them, they don't have their own identity and I guess Path for what they're wanting to do.
So one thing I think we do really well as we work really well together about, you've got your thing and I've got my thing. So that, even if we ever split up, for whatever reason, who would be heartbreaking, it's sad. But you've got your stuff to do. I've got my stuff to do. So, happy confident, we'd have those sighing. Yeah, dependent upon yourself. And yeah, this is a support network as well.
Communication breakdowns, obviously potential for misunderstandings without proper communication, will wrap this up soon. Unexpressed, feelings got to do that. I'm shocked that I tell you, lack of emotional connection key to a strong, emotional connection. So that's, you know, time date nights. Going back to the communication showing he feeling when you're upset, all that sort of stuff, which I'm not very good at not. A lot of blocks are now I'm getting better, but I'm still very bad.
I would say And then the final one, is the respect in the equality. Pace obviously a power imbalance in their relationship now. Things like, who controls the finances as you know who's expected to do. What I think it's important to always talk about that and understands always be growing and think we're still working it
out. Yeah. Even now like his we have a house and we're like oh maybe it's better to do this financially and so I think you're looking at like restructuring all our finances which is really interesting but talking about it and doing it together rather than one person controlling fine. Answers. Hmm, 100% 100%. I think that's a fantastic feeling undervalued and mutual respect. Like I really don't like when people go up or blokes go on my wife's just to stay at home.
I do all the work so she should be grateful that I'm bringing the money and I'm like well you wouldn't be able to bring the money and have a nice you know, have your family. Been looked up the way it is or whatever their situation that they're complaining about is because you think money makes you better. It's like it's still the same household and it's still the same. Family. Yeah because I you taking time out of your day to go. Coals.
Yeah, exactly. What's like so slow time it's one of my pet peeves for what people say doesn't matter who says it. But you you saying your partners and grateful because you're out doing motorcycle, takes two to tango and to make a relationship work. So it's very important to appreciate that and sometimes you maybe feel like you're putting in more effort but you also know what it's like, hmm, the shoes on the other feet. That is this Serious part done. Does anyone have any questions
about that your comments? Thank God, someone says, hey maybe experiment with having a kid by getting a dog or a cat though. I've grown up with heaps of animals and doing it. Not yeah, dog. Yeah. Like I would rather just have a baby then have a dog because I think like you know, had Runs with puppies. And it's a lot of work like a baby like one of the other. This is a baby could eventually talk to you. I don't know.
Yeah. And don't, you know, I've had so many dogs passed away because I don't live that long live 15. It's too sad. I cannot have. Yeah, it's not nice. So yes that is I had this happen in a previous relationship. It's been a few years and I still sometimes feel like I need to ask if I could do something that I want to do. Mmm. Yeah, it creates trauma and you're in a bad relationship like that and Emily. I hope you continue to work through that because I've seen it with friends as well.
Have gone through a bad relationship and they feel weird when someone treats them well like, mmm, yeah, true to my you you let me just go overseas by myself. It's cool. Oh, you think that's trip. Think I was going to? No, no, I don't think you would do that, but I might some some people would do that, right? Some people would be like no, you know, that? Not, unless I'm coming flavor pack your bags and don't forget to thank you very much. What do we got?
100% communicate everything. Your feelings especially you should be able to trust each other and support each other cool. Borrow your nephew or niece. Yeah. Yeah. We've done that. We've tested it all. Guys. Look, we have tested at all. That's for sure. So we're about to send the link for those who are in the private chat.

There was a bit of chicken. That was uneaten know. It was, it was poor.
Okay. It was like a nice pork chop and she's salivating like a high-energy like hadn't been, like eating the bone, but he doesn't like, I, But I was to be this is my page.
