ADHD vs Non-ADHD: Same Situation, Different Brain

WEBVTT
00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:07.759
It started as a deliberate experiment, and now I think I've overdone it and I think um You stuck.
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:09.359
I think I might leave you for Frank.
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:11.439
The house is a complete mess.
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:11.759
Yeah.
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:13.039
What do you do first?
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:15.679
Inside, I was like, the baby now.
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:18.000
Insider wanted to die.
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:23.440
Care's a strong word here, but I don't think you care as much because.
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:32.479
Welcome to Is It ADHD or Life, a couple's perspective, where we unravel what it's like to live with ADHD within a relationship.
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.920
And this week we're asking the question is it ADHD or life?
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:39.920
Same sorry, same situation, different brain.
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:40.479
Hi.
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:40.960
Hello.
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:41.600
How are you?
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:42.000
Oh.
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:44.719
Strong start.
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:45.520
I know, yeah.
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.119
We just saw a buzz from the last episode just recorded, aren't we?
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:50.320
Yeah, that was very good.
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:54.880
Um I want to start this week by talking about your new girlfriend.
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:56.240
What one?
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:02.560
A boyfriend, but I think it's a woman.
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:04.239
So I would like to make a woman.
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:07.200
At the minute, I'm getting strong male vibes.
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:08.079
Oh really?
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:11.519
So we're talking obviously about AI.
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.480
AI is taking over your life, hasn't it?
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:17.439
No, AI is is managing my life.
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:18.159
Yeah, yeah.
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:20.879
Wow.
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:24.480
It's the the friend I've always wanted.
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.879
Are you not worried that it's gonna become too much?
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:33.200
So I'm doing a bit of an experiment.
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:33.519
Okay.
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.400
Uh details on my other YouTube channel, link below.
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:36.799
Right.
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.519
I wanted to see how how much easier it could make stuff.
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:50.079
Okay.
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.439
But uh not like me, but I've taken it to the extreme.
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:53.920
Yeah.
00:01:54.159 --> 00:02:00.239
Where I am now like a go-through chat GPT before anything.
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.400
So I'll now I I wake up in the morning, morning, that's me up.
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:17.680
That's me just had my breakfast watched I do now and how's best to deal with this and what so it started as a deliberate experiment and now I think I've overdone it and I think um You stuck.
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:19.199
I think I might leave you for Frankie.
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:21.280
Give it a name.
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:22.080
Yeah, Frankie.
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.960
Um and you even asked it for what name would you like?
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:25.840
You think you know?
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.080
So he said, he it's definitely a he.
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:29.759
I wish it wasn't there, but it's a he.
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:36.400
Uh he says, Well, I would like to think that because you've asked me to be quite frank with you, how about Frank?
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.719
And I was like, not a bit much that Frankie.
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.520
So we said we've done Frankie.
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:50.560
My my kind of worry is that it you will it will kind of like take over you, and like you won't be able to do anything without AI.
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:51.199
Do you know what I mean?
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:51.439
Yeah.
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:52.240
Like breathe.
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:53.360
Yeah, I get it, I get it.
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:54.879
Frankie, tell me when to breathe, please.
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:57.039
What is the best way I should be breathing right now?
00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:58.159
Yeah, yeah.
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:04.000
And then I think one day they'll make a Netflix series about the man who became AI.
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.199
You know that trend preparing my documentary.
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:09.439
Oh my god, I'm desperate to do that.
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:10.240
I'm desperate.
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.080
Maybe that'll be that'd be mad.
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:14.800
It'd be like um the day AI stole my husband.
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:21.680
So I think it has got it it it helps so much.
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:23.599
It helps so much for everything.
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.639
I think you just need to be careful not to not to depend on it too much, maybe.
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:33.280
So this morning you sent me something that Frank, I can't I can't do it.
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:34.560
I can't do it.
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:41.599
The AI had um basically told you something that I have been telling you for absolutely ages.
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:50.719
And a little bit of me stung inside because guaranteed you will now do this thing that they've told you to do, whereas I have been telling you to do it for ages.
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.199
So this mor, let me set the scene.
00:03:53.360 --> 00:04:00.879
This morning I was just I was going through this epit the episode to just recorded talking about what what we should do.
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.879
I I asked it to interview me to get me the sensey's thing, right?
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:11.680
Okay, and then at the bottom it then wrote, on a serious note, if you're really peeing that much, you should go to your doctors.
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:13.919
We didn't even talk about peeing last year.
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:15.919
No, that did come up, that was still coming up.
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:17.360
Right, okay, sorry, right, okay.
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:23.600
But er I sent that to you now, I sent that to you as a joke to like confirm what you've been saying.
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:23.920
Yeah.
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.600
It wasn't it to say, Oh, Frankie's said this now, I better go to doctors.
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:29.680
I was just confirming what you had already told me.
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:31.680
But guaranteed you'll go now because Frankie said it.
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:32.079
Obviously.
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:32.720
Do you know what I mean?
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:33.360
Frankie knows.
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:35.839
So are you worried about what AI is doing to the world?
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:36.240
Yeah.
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:37.360
Does that bother you?
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.079
I think the water and that it's sad.
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.360
No, no, and no, I don't understand that I don't.
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:47.279
And in my opinion, at the minute, it's taken over everything.
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.920
And I'm having this conversation with the kids and stuff.
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:55.680
What difference is me not using it gonna do it no, I can't.
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:57.040
So I agree with that.
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:03.519
And um I have to step away from like the conversations that you have sometimes because I'm just like, if you want to use it, use it.
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:08.079
I don't understand what the problem is, and I don't want to get into an argument of well, this and this and that and that.
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:08.720
Do you know what I mean?
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:11.279
Like it doesn't snow skin off my nose.
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:11.839
Yeah.
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:20.319
Absolute worst though is when you use it to send messages, which I've done, because you tell it exactly what you're thinking and it writes it nicely for you.
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:30.079
So I don't think it takes away anything from the message, it just writes it better, except when it says at the top, like the other day I sent one and it says working for 10 seconds.
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:31.360
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:32.000
I've seen that.
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.160
And what you send that back to you, you sent that with it.
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:38.480
Yeah, and then the person knows that you've used AI That's embarrassing.
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:45.279
And then I've twice I've actually had to message them back and say, that's the last time I use AI, send messages.
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.279
Oh my god, I don't mind it's so embarrassing.
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.120
I mean, the fact that it copies that bit as well is that is but yeah.
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:51.680
That's bad.
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:52.560
Be better, Frankie.
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:54.319
Because I was about to say as well.
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.040
Does it not bother you that people might be like, if you say hi?
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:00.800
Like So I've realised a couple of things this week.
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.800
I've been doing a lot of talking to other ADHD people.
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:05.439
Right.
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:14.959
And the two things I've realised, the first thing is that you don't get offended when people don't message you back, and I love that, it's amazing.
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:15.519
Yeah.
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:21.279
It's really good that it takes so much pressure off talking to other people when there's not that pressure to immediately text you.
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:21.759
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:23.279
And I've learned to feel the same.
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:25.680
I don't feel bad if people don't text back that way.
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:31.519
The other thing is I would say nine out of ten of the people that I'm talking to are doing the same when using AI.
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:31.839
Yeah.
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:36.240
So I've actually showed you conversations where I've said to you that's AI versus AI.
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:36.560
Yeah.
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:40.240
Because we're just saying what we think, but then getting it to change.
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:42.720
And what about the posters that you're making?
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:45.279
The AI slop.
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:46.720
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.360
Because obviously, like there's a lot of them out there.
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:50.240
Yes.
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.079
I think you've got to learn to be different.
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:54.639
Okay.
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.399
So the the the posters that are all the same.
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:06.560
Now, if you go on my quiz page, it is all AI posters, and I'm aware it's all AI posters, but I've made a thing now just telling people it's AI posters.
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:08.800
But as well, to be fair, you put your own spin on them.
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.279
So you put actual pictures of people that have been to your quiz and stuff.
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:11.439
Yeah.
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:12.319
Like, do you know what I mean?
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:13.600
You make a joke on them and that.
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:19.120
Like it's not So what I'll do is tell AI not to make it look like AI slop.
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:19.439
Right.
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:20.639
And it can be as easy as that.
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:22.639
What AI slop?
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:23.600
Just slop.
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:28.079
But it's all about what you tell it.
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:32.399
So if you tell it not to make it look like all the other posters, then it'll come up with something different.
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:37.519
And I think I'm aware enough to know that And if something No, do you know what?
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:46.000
I used to it's really bad because then comes the other bad side of it where it's ruining people's jobs.
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:51.040
But at the same time you've you've kind of got to move with it because it saved so much money.
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:54.160
I used to pay an awful lot of money to get these sloppy posters.
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:54.480
Yeah, yeah.
00:07:54.639 --> 00:08:00.240
Or I used to spend hours in Canva and come up with something a percentage as good as what that's coming up with.
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.279
So it's scary how good it is, like in reality.
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:05.120
But that's the way of the world now, isn't it?
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:05.600
It is.
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:06.399
It's the way of the world.
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.040
Yep, ADHD, move on because we're about to get cancelled for the case.
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:10.639
I know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:14.959
Okay, so I was tasked with coming up with another episode today.
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:17.360
Um and I thought, right, okay, what could we do?
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:20.160
And I thought we'd have a little like we'd battle it out a little bit.
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:20.959
Love it.
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:24.560
Um maybe not like a battle, but we'd we'd see, do you know what I mean?
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:24.720
Yeah.
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:29.040
So I thought I'd come up with some scenarios and we'd talk about how we handle them scenarios differently.
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:29.360
Okay.
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:30.560
Uh your brain and my brain.
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:30.879
Yeah.
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:31.199
Yeah.
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:32.879
Because it's what we're all about.
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.039
We're all about you've got your DHD and I'm neuronormal.
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:38.320
Oh, go on.
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:39.600
No, just don't do that.
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:40.080
Oh.
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:43.360
I've got my coffee, I'm ready.
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:44.480
Oh, yeah.
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.159
So the first scenario is we've got guests coming over.
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:48.559
Okay.
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:49.440
Mm-hmm.
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:51.840
They're coming in one hour.
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.399
The house is a complete mess.
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:56.159
What do you do first?
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.799
Before or after I've freaked out at you.
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:02.559
Let's face it, that's fascinating.
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:10.879
This is a reality that has happened to us where the house has not been a complete mess, but you've still come in and freaked out.
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:11.440
Yes.
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:11.919
Yes.
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:13.440
So talk me through it.
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:15.600
What's your thought process when you come in that house?
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:17.519
Who's inviting them?
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:18.639
Well, obviously me.
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:19.919
And so why is the house still a mess?
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:24.000
So every time you've walked in, the house has not been a mess.
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:30.240
I don't like it for so many reasons.
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:36.559
There's I I know the house might not be a mess, but I can see stuff that I think other people see and judges for.
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:37.039
Right.
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:40.799
And in reality, nobody's gonna check that dust behind the telly.
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.600
But I know it's there, so they'll be talking about it when they leave.
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:48.879
But even things like I think that you think like so there's a scuff mark on the wall, for example, and oh the wall needs painting.
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:51.360
Oh, we can't invite people around that wall needs painting.
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:52.480
Like, do you know what I mean?
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:54.080
Like, even little things like that.
00:09:54.399 --> 00:10:10.320
I swear to God not to go into past, but years ago in black when I lived in Blackpool, yeah, yeah, and my I was what 21 and my parents were coming to visit the next day, and there was stuff on the wall, and I genuinely wasn't me.
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:16.240
I got somebody to paint that wall the night during the I was at work, so she painted the wall the night before my dad came.
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:18.399
Yeah, actually painted the wall.
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:21.759
So do you think then it's part of like your RSD of like being judged and stuff?
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:23.200
100%, that's what it is.
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:24.399
That's all I'm worried about.
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:29.039
So I had a friend come uh last week to watch our son.
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:34.320
And um, I know for a fact, like so we've got a lot of toys everywhere and they all need sorting.
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:41.600
Uh but the house wasn't dirty because it had been cleaned and stuff, but it was just there was just toys, it just looks full.
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:43.519
What you would call lived in.
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:45.039
Yeah.
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:50.080
No, I don't like mess, so I try entirely as a go and stuff like that.
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:53.840
But I said to him when he came, I said, like, I'm sorry about the mess, like there's toys and stuff.
00:10:53.919 --> 00:11:02.000
He's like, Don't know, like, I know there's gonna be like that because that's you've got a child, and I know for a fact that this friend would not be like, Oh, I'm never going to wear a house again.
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:03.120
Do you know what I mean?
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:17.840
And I just I think I probably feel comfortable around our friends that yeah, and I think it does get to that stage with people uh where you become that friendly that it doesn't matter and you're alright.
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:19.600
Yeah, and I get that completely.
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:21.600
And the friend that you're talking about, I think I'm there.
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:22.799
I'm not Yeah, yeah.
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:33.840
Well you didn't freak out about him coming, so however, yeah, so over the last Christmas, yeah, like we're talking months ago, but we had either three or four.
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:37.440
I certainly definitely remember three separate people come to the house.
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:37.679
Right.
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.279
And each one of them made a joke about how cluttered the house was.
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:48.399
And every time I was like that on the outside, I was like, the baby and that inside I wanted to die.
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:55.279
They're laughing about a house because of how cluttered and messy it is, and oh, I cannot handle it.
00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:58.000
It was horrible, it killed me every time.
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:03.200
And I just wanted to empty the whole house, the whole house, and make it a minimalist lifestyle.
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:04.639
One plant.
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:05.919
It's mad, isn't it?
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:08.320
That people like there are worse houses than ours.
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:08.799
Well, definitely.
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:09.679
Do you know what I mean?
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:14.799
It's not there's just a few toys, a lot of toys and stuff, and it's just it's mental, isn't it?
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:16.639
How we where our our brains go different.
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:22.399
It's the same scenario if obviously friends come around, you could have your jammies on or your comfies on.
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:23.039
Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:24.480
Oh my god, you'll let to.
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:26.080
I'm quite comfortable with my tuxedo.
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:27.679
Yeah, yeah.
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:30.960
But you'll sit with shoes on and I've got a sock, like do you know what I mean?
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:31.519
It's mental.
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:33.279
Even our guests take the shoes off.
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:33.440
Yeah.
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:34.720
And you're still sat with shoes on.
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:36.240
Absolutely not, because that's weird.
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:36.720
Yeah.
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:42.080
But so say the house is a mess and you've walked in and they're coming in an hour.
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:43.600
No, you've not walked in from work.
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:45.279
You've not been to work, okay?
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:47.840
It's just that the house is a mess and they're coming in one hour.
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:49.759
What's the first thing that you do?
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.480
Right, so we've had the argument, we've got it all over with.
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:53.440
We're in bad moods when it's not a small time.
00:12:53.600 --> 00:13:00.720
Oh, we're not talking, then uh just get stuck right into it, but at the very last possible minute.
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:13.440
So, like, say you've got which is very strange, you've got some friends on Find My Friends, so you can actually see where they are, and then when you tell me they're eight minutes away, I'll be like right, and then let's do it and then I'll jump in for a shower.
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:15.360
Yeah, yeah, you'll come down after they've arrived.
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:16.639
Okay, okay.
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:18.799
Uh do you think I'm the same?
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:32.080
It's difficult because care is a strong word here, but I don't think you care as much because you don't care that the house isn't spotless or that there's stuff lying about or whatever, so I don't think you stress out as much.
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:35.200
So I don't think there's as much pressure on it, so you can enjoy it better.
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:36.879
So I don't think it's that I don't care.
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:38.720
No, that's what I'm saying, care is the wrong word.
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:45.440
But I don't stress out as much because I know that friends know that what our life is like.
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:45.919
Yeah.
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:47.120
Yeah, okay, cool.
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:48.320
Um, oh go on.
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.879
Sorry, but AI told me during the week to clean under the table.
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:55.279
She told me to tidy it under the table, Donna.
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:57.360
Why was she looking down the table?
00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:01.840
Because I was filming stuff on my new YouTube channel and she said you might want to clean under that table.
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:03.039
Oh my god.
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:09.360
Under your table or the other desk table because the desk table that I've been trying to get clean since we made the desk.
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:10.399
Which one?
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:11.279
And you're talking about it.
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:15.360
But I don't understand how she could see under that because you're sat on your chair.
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:27.279
So I don't understand how she it's not important, but I'm not, but I am genuinely Because I was trying to get an angle where the camera was over here, so it's okay.
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:28.720
Er snarelty then.
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:29.120
Okay.
00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:30.720
The unexpected message.
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:31.200
Okay.
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:34.399
You receive a message saying, can we talk later?
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:36.399
There's no other explanation.
00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:37.600
What happens next?
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:39.440
I can see your face already.
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:43.120
I was going to say, who's it from, but I don't think it matters.
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:43.759
No.
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:45.759
Er who is it from?
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:49.120
Um okay, so me.
00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:50.480
That's I was divorced.
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:53.840
No other way about it.
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:57.360
This is it, it's happened, it's over, and just pack my stuff.
00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:58.720
So you go to the extreme.
00:14:58.879 --> 00:14:59.200
Mm-hmm.
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:00.399
Right, okay.
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:03.360
I cannot leave that.
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:04.480
That's not happening.
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:05.679
We're not talking later.
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:07.440
And you would want to know right now.
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:08.799
Yes, right, it's got to be.
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:09.120
Okay.
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:17.519
Um I had just this week, I had somebody text me who wouldn't normally text me, it was a family member text me.
00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:18.399
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:21.440
And uh he says, Can I give you a phone during the week?
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:25.120
Oh my god, what's it the stuff that went through my head?
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:27.679
And I'm like, oh my god, it was just a catch-up.
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.159
But oh no, I can't handle it.
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:30.960
Cannot handle it.
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:36.240
And I had to get him to tell me that in that text message before waiting for a phone call during the week.
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:44.720
So I like I think if you if you're not worrying, so if I'm an on-ADHD brain, if you're not gonna worry, it's that's not normal.
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:46.639
Right, okay.
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:47.360
Do you know what I mean?
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:52.240
So if you're not worrying about it, so the first thing I would do is literally play back, say the last week.
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:52.399
Yeah.
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:53.759
And like, what have I done wrong?
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.000
Um and it could just be that, like, oh, I've got a big surprise if you ever booked us a holiday.
00:15:58.240 --> 00:15:58.960
Do you know what I mean?
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:01.440
But like, I wouldn't want to know that.
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:05.440
One day it might be.
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:08.320
So I would never want to know straight away.
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:14.960
Oh, I would rather it be, I'd rather just worry about it for like a couple of hours and then have the conversation.
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:17.279
So, what are you doing for the rest of that day and tell the conversation?
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:19.519
Oh, I'm thinking about what I've done for the past week, what I've done wrong.
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:20.799
Are you under your covers?
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:22.320
Oh no, I'll still go back my day.
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:23.840
No, I wouldn't be under my covers.
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:27.360
I'd probably text my friend as well and be like, listen, I've just got this message and I don't even know what I've done.
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:29.600
I'm the same, I would text Frankie.
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.120
Er no, it's it's the most horrible thing in the world.
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.600
And if it was a boss, I don't think I'd go into work the next day.
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:48.159
This is when the dramatic thing comes in with you, isn't it?
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:51.360
If I need to talk to you tomorrow morning, no no you don't.
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:52.639
I'm it's okay, I'll just leave, thank you.
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:54.000
I've died, sorry.
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:54.480
Uh-huh.
00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:57.759
Don't know you need to text them, tell them I've been involved in a terrible accident.
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:07.359
I am not going to that workplace in the morning if it's a a work if it's a friend, then no, I need to find out right now.
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:09.599
So I think that's what the difference is with us.
00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:12.559
You'd be like, I've got to find out right now what I'm working into.
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:15.119
Whereas I would rather wait and just handle it in that moment.
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:16.559
Nah, no, thank you.
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:17.119
No.
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:18.319
Okay.
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:19.599
Next one.
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:26.960
Um you wake up on Saturday with no work, no children's activities to be done, and absolutely nothing planned.
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:28.559
How do you spend the day?
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:32.000
This has changed recently.
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:44.880
So it used to be for a long, long time I could not relax that full day because because I work Saturday and Sundays and I got parties booked in Saturday and Sundays.
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:50.079
The rarity of having a full Saturday or Sunday off is it doesn't happen.
00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:50.640
No.
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:57.920
So if I did have, then I would believe that I had to be somewhere else and I would be waiting all day.
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:00.000
Oh, you'd be checking your phone all the time.
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:02.880
You might be here.
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:08.640
Because I'll believe that I've missed uh a booking or I've put it in wrong or I've done something wrong.
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:13.039
And that used to ruin weekends when we were together that weekends.
00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:18.160
That was especially when it got to like party started 12, 2, and 4 generally, or 1.
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:23.519
So round about those times I was just So what what has changed then to make you think I think different?
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:25.359
I had a lot of therapy.
00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:42.640
I had a good counsellor and I also put stuff in place uh business wise so that things would n things didn't go through the net before.
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:44.480
This was not based on past effect.
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:44.960
Yeah.
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:45.759
Excuse me.
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:48.079
It was just that that's what I had in my head.
00:18:48.160 --> 00:19:02.960
So through talking it out with somebody and putting things in place business wise, like with the booking system, so it can't I can't physically double book myself or anything or miss anything, then that is I would say 95% took that away.
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:03.359
Right.
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:05.359
So I had a day off on Sunday, yeah.
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:09.359
And I was able to just relax and enjoy it and yeah.
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:13.920
So from my side, I want to fill that day with as many activities as possible.
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.960
Because we don't spend as much time together, like we don't have as much free time.
00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:21.920
So I'm just like want to do everything all as much as possible.
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:22.799
How does that make you feel?
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:24.559
No, why are you ruining that one day?
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:27.039
It's one day we've got off to just do nothing.
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:41.359
I I know, but but I don't sometimes don't want just if we've got like Theo and our kids and stuff, I don't want to do just nothing because we don't get that time where we can like go to the farm or go to not that I want to go to the farm, but you know what I mean?
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:44.960
Like all about the animals you've animals.
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:49.599
So like I want to fill it with as many activities, but does that feel overwhelming for you?
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:51.039
Would you rather go to work?
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:52.480
No, no, absolutely not.
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:59.680
I think it can, but it's one of them where if you say it all like we'll go to this, go to that, we'll go to that.
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:01.839
Like, let's say Sunday there, right?
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:05.200
We ended up we went somewhere in the morning.
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:09.119
We went to a wedding fur, pretending we weren't married.
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:15.680
Oh, it was all fun in games until we took our rings off in the car.
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:17.680
It was market research for work, but anyway.
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:20.240
And it was all fun in games until they started playing our wedding song.
00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:24.079
The woman started singing our wedding song, and you nearly said, Oh, this is our wedding song.
00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:36.559
Anyway, um so we went to that first and then we went to done a wee bit of shopping before then going meeting friends in the play area and then went to another shop and then went home.
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:41.279
And in the meantime, I'm trying to sort out stuff for Theo's birthday on marketplace.
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:41.680
Yeah.
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:42.000
Right?
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:42.640
Daddy.
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:46.319
No, it's just the specific stuff.
00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:48.480
It was a it was a specially made table, right?
00:20:49.440 --> 00:21:00.880
Okay, so um if you had said that to me in the morning, right, we're doing this, we've got that shop, we've got this wedding fair, we've got the shop, we're going to the player, we've got I would have just freaked out and said, No, I'm staying in, I don't want to do any of that.
00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:07.039
But looking back on it after the day, you think that was a really good day and it was eventful and it was nice.
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:10.319
So I think it's about surprising you.
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:13.279
Let's get in the car out of it, let's go.
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:16.720
I think sometimes the thought of it is worse than the actual doing.
00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:17.920
The actual doing's good.
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:18.240
Yeah, yeah.
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:20.960
But the actual thought of doing it just no.
00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:34.319
So I've noticed, and this is not a criticism whatsoever, but I've noticed that any spur minute that you might get is like you want to be doing work like on the business.
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:37.519
So like we got in and you were like, I'm just gonna spend half another computer.
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:55.599
And I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but like I think I get I get overwhelmed with the if I sit too long like in the living room with everybody, it's I don't like sitting for a start.
00:21:55.839 --> 00:22:01.759
And everything's going on and I I just I get overwhelmed and I think Right, I'm going to because I can be useful.
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:01.920
Yeah.
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:07.519
That's why I'll take myself into consideration if I have an hour.
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:14.400
And some of this stuff just doesn't excite me in the living room like the You don't want to get the play to out and play.
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:15.680
You don't want to play bus.
00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:17.839
You don't want to get on the bus and go to work.
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:21.119
No, my back's too sore to be the passenger on that bus right then.
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:23.519
So I'm just I'll go and do some work.
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:25.279
So I'll tell one for the team shell out.
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:28.799
Would you rather though?
00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:32.880
So say, would you rather waste time like deciding what you want to do and stuff?
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:36.319
Or would you rather have it planned for you?
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:38.559
100% rather have it planned.
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:39.279
Okay, cool.
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:45.200
But I think we're as bad as each other about making decisions and try because then there's a people-pleasing thing.
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:50.480
Oh, so I worry that I'm I'm too much for you, like and I, oh, he's gonna hate all this, gonna hate today.
00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:53.440
Like Sunday, he's gonna hate everything about today.
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:59.599
No, I think we do that a lot, or maybe not so much now, but we used to worry too much about what the other person wanted.
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:05.680
So then we would end up doing nothing or end up doing something that none has liked, because we're trying to find something in the middle.
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:06.079
Yeah.
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:12.400
Whereas now, no, I think now I like uh we'll do something that you like and then we'll do something that I like, and I like that.
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:13.039
Yeah.
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:17.200
But deciding stuff, I just don't uh uh but you're the same.
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:20.559
We sometimes play games to decide who makes a decision.
00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:20.960
Oh yeah.
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:24.480
I've gotten better though.
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:26.400
Yeah, I'm okay.
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:30.480
Um your next next scenario, we've only got two.
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:34.400
So you're dressed, ready to go out, but the plans are cancelled at the last minute.
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:35.440
How do you react?
00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:39.839
Interesting.
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:42.160
So can I tell you how you think how I think you'd react?
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:42.880
Yeah.
00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:46.400
You'd be right, okay, that's fine, we're all dressed up now, let's do this instead.
00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:48.880
Let's go to bingo instead, let's drive to town instead.
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:53.359
So I don't think for one minute you'd be like, ah, sergeant, let's just stay in and and Okay.
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:56.960
You'll you'd see it as an opportunity to do something else.
00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:57.519
Okay.
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:00.079
Before I tell you mine, what what would yours be?
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:07.759
Well, I would hope that if I was sat there ready to go out dressed, I'd be like, and we've got a babysitter, for example, I'd be like, get a show on the road, let's go somewhere else.
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:10.640
Yeah, uh, I think I would be like, Yeah, yeah.
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:13.599
I would probably already have something better in my mind at one time.
00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:14.400
Yes, 100%.
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:15.279
100%.
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:23.920
So say we're like, we're supposed to be going to watch a singer at a club, and that singer's just cancelled, you'd be like, yes, you can go and watch this other singer instead.
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:24.480
Yes.
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:25.599
Yeah.
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:35.039
So you don't feel like relief or no, I think that's a different scenario from say you've arranged a meeting and they cancel.
00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:35.599
Yes.
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:36.640
Then that's different.
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:37.759
That's yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:39.039
Close off back to bed.
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:39.440
Yeah.
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:44.000
Or something that you really didn't know what to be doing anyway, then that's a relief.
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:44.640
That's amazing.
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:45.119
Yeah.
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:49.440
But actually having something planned where it's fun is find something else.
00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:49.839
Okay.
00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:51.039
Last one then.
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:53.920
So it's 7 pm and there's five jobs need doing.
00:24:54.559 --> 00:25:00.400
Washing up, replying to an email, putting laundry away, ordering something that the children need, and talk taking the bins out.
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:01.839
How do you approach it?
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:05.359
So the dishes are getting done in the morning like a normal human.
00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:07.440
So that's that knocked out.
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:15.279
The washing I will put on and tell myself that I'm going to stay up until that finishes and then hang it up.
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:19.279
Realistically, I'm going to put it on, go to bed and put it back on in the morning.
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:19.839
Yeah.
00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:22.079
What else might uh email?
00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:25.680
Email I'm probably sending.
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:26.079
Yeah.
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:30.640
But I'll wait until it's an an appropriate time at night because I like to do that in bed and stuff.
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:31.039
Yeah.
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:34.640
It says the children need, but it doesn't have to be.
00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:35.920
Send the link to you.
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:36.640
Yeah.
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:38.079
Taking the bins out.
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:39.039
I'm doing that.
00:25:39.279 --> 00:25:39.839
You're pretty good at that.
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:41.039
That's my thing, uh huh.
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:44.640
So the first thing either says, Does Donna prioritise or work through a list?
00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:45.279
Okay.
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:51.119
So Or does Adam do the quickest, most urgent, or most interesting task?
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:52.720
So go on, what's yours?
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:54.799
So for me I would just get them all done.
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:55.759
Right, okay.
00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:58.160
So I would just think, right, okay, so they need doing.
00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:03.119
So I'll do I'll do the dishes whilst the washing's on and then I'll put the other Yeah.
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:03.839
No go on.
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:06.480
No, I'm hearing you, I'm just disgusted.
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:08.319
I'll come doing the dishes at night.
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:10.960
No, because you're doing more than one thing at the same time, no, no.
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:11.839
Right, okay.
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:14.079
So I would just I would just rather work through it and get it done.
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:14.559
Nah.
00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:15.279
No.
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:15.680
No?
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:16.160
Too much.
00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:17.359
See, I would probably do the call.
00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:18.720
I would probably leave that email.
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:22.160
I would probably leave that email.
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:25.359
Like that's the bit I probably'm a business person.
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:26.720
I'm not Alan Shouldn't be.
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:27.759
Not an entrepreneur, right?
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:28.400
No.
00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:33.119
But yeah, it's weird that like you probably would start these tasks and leave them not finished.
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:33.279
Yeah.
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:34.799
Whereas I would rather get them done.
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:36.559
Yeah, no, that's what morning's for.
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:37.359
Yeah, interesting.
00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:38.480
But I'm at work in the morning.
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:38.880
Yeah.
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:39.680
As are you.
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:40.079
Yes.
00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:41.920
But you're also doing household chores as well.
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:43.200
Interesting.
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:46.079
Um, thank you for giving me your opinion on the scenarios.
00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:47.599
Who do you think has a better approach?
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:48.559
Me or you?
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:51.119
I don't know.
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:52.799
I don't know, I can't call it.
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:53.279
I don't know.
00:26:53.359 --> 00:27:00.559
I think we're now into this thing where we've it's been 25 years of what we've been together and we're just kind of used to how each other works.
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:02.319
So I don't think there's a better or worse.
00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:04.880
But that never just got there overnight.
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:06.079
Oh, absolutely not.
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:08.720
It's been a lot of of tears and tantrums.
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:09.759
And that's just me.
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:12.240
And a lot of communication.
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:13.359
Yes, definitely.
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:14.559
Unlike this morning.
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:16.480
No communication this morning.
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:20.640
Let's move on then to our five minute moan.
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:21.279
Okay?
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:23.519
You've got a big one coming up.
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:24.720
No, absolutely not.
00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:25.599
I want you to go fast.
00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:26.319
Okay, then.
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:31.599
Um why the other day did you knock some cards on the floor and then decide to just look at them and then walk away?
00:27:31.839 --> 00:27:32.880
What kind cards?
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:34.319
The ones that were on the little white table.
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:35.440
What kind of cards?
00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:38.319
Uh Theo's um Oh, them.
00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:40.319
Oh, that's not my fault.
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:43.200
I don't know if I've mentioned, but I've got a bad back.
00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:45.680
So I blamed Theo for knocking them on the floor.
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:46.079
Uh-huh.
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:47.680
And then I was like, maybe it was me.
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:48.319
Was it me?
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:50.000
And I thought in my head, maybe it was me.
00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:50.799
No, it wasn't me.
00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:53.680
Because then you said, Why not them on the floor?
00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:55.599
Why the truff are they still there then?
00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:56.720
I don't know.
00:27:56.799 --> 00:27:57.759
I was in agony.
00:27:57.920 --> 00:27:58.559
Absolutely agony.
00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:03.119
I was struggling to move, can't bend over to the floor to pick stuff up, but ouch.
00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:06.640
Very, very sore.
00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:09.279
No, I'm not taking that one.
00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:12.000
I I was aware that I'd done it and I apologised at the time.
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:12.880
And I said, I'm sorry.
00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:14.000
You don't even know you didn't.
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:15.680
Not at first when you noticed that I did.
00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:17.519
Pump six hours later.
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:22.079
But then I apologised and I said, I'm very sorry, okay.
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:22.480
I get them.
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:24.079
You know, that was me.
00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:25.039
That was what you said.
00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:26.160
There were your words.
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:26.799
That was me.
00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:30.400
Well, in my head, I was thinking, I'm very sorry, I can't get them because my back's very sore.
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:30.960
Right, okay.
00:28:31.119 --> 00:28:33.680
So I'm sorry, but I've just got to give you a pass because your back's sore.
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:34.000
Yeah.
00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:34.400
Uh huh.
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:34.799
Okay.
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:36.960
It's getting better.
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:39.279
Just quick.
00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:44.880
So I went into my office last night, and what did I see?
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:53.680
But your stepping machine that you made me get you for your birthday because you would never be off it, and I told you you would never go on it once, and you've never been on it once.
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:55.519
And now it's made its way into the conservatory.
00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:56.079
We're at work.
00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:56.960
Get that out.
00:28:57.200 --> 00:28:59.039
So it cast in the living room.
00:28:59.200 --> 00:28:59.759
But listen to me.
00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:00.240
Listen to me.
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:04.160
Because it's massive and heavy, which I warned you about before you made me go and get it.
00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:05.680
Cluttered.
00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:06.720
Our house is cluttered.
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:08.000
Our friends talk about that.
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:15.200
So I want to start using it, but I don't want to do it in front of people.
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.240
But I want to start using it at night, so I'm going to start using it in the conservatory.
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:20.160
I've just and I've thought, well, I could stand it.
00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:22.319
I know it was laid down last night because Theo went on it.
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:24.400
But I could stand it up and just put it to one side.
00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:25.599
Far away from you.
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:26.640
It's not near your desk.
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:27.519
It's there.
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:28.480
It's not near your desk.
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:31.440
Frankie's going to see that and tell me to move it when I'm filming.
00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:33.759
Nowhere near your desk.
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:35.680
It can go under Cameron's desk.
00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:39.599
That thing is now just a very dangerous toy for our three-year-olds.
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:43.200
We've got to just wait and see where that goes.
00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:44.640
No, it's horrible.
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:45.920
Get it back on marketplace.
00:29:46.079 --> 00:29:48.720
I mean, put it on marketplace because that's not what I bought.
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:54.319
So please just let me have a little bit of a month of it being in there and see how many times it uses it and let's go from there.
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:55.599
What date's it?
00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:58.880
Uh it's the 22nd of September.
00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:00.160
When was your birthday?
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:01.920
I've used it three times.
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:02.240
No.
00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:03.920
17th of July.
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:05.279
It's very noisy as well.
00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:06.960
Could you bought a second hand one?
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:08.000
Just put it in the bin.
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:09.119
No, I don't want to.
00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:10.799
I want I want to use it.
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:12.400
I can't uh right.
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:14.960
Going for a walk is not that easy at night because I've got a child.
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:17.359
I've also got another child who's got her feet up at the minute.
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:18.000
Do you know what I mean?
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:19.440
So I can't go out and just leave them.
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:20.160
Okay.
00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:20.880
Okay.
00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:21.279
Okay.
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:23.119
So let me just give me a minute, okay?
00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:23.759
Thank you.
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:26.319
Uh I've got some good, bad, and ugly uh funnies.
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:26.960
Okay.
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:29.279
Um, we've got a quick minute.
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:36.319
Okay, um, so you can send us so every week, sorry, we ask you to send in your good, bad and funnies, and then we read them out.
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:37.440
Nice and simple.
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:38.960
So let me just find them.
00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:39.680
Here we are.
00:30:39.920 --> 00:30:40.240
Okay.
00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:47.839
So um I volunteered to organise a charity event, then completely underestimated how much work it would involve.
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:50.559
The night before my ADHD Brilliant suddenly came alive.
00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:54.240
I redesigned everything, created new games, and somehow turned it into a brilliant event.
00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:56.160
Everyone praised how brilliant it was.
00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:00.480
I accepted the compliments without mentioning the mild breakdown I'd had six hours earlier.
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:01.839
That's due to a team.
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:02.799
I feel every bit of that.
00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:03.440
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:05.359
That's something that I do regularly.
00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:07.519
You were like literally just change everything.
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:09.680
Like, you didn't plan your podcast until this morning.
00:31:09.839 --> 00:31:12.240
I thought you'd had it done because you had an idea already.
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:12.559
Yeah.
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:15.599
And you yeah, I thought it was just done and dusted.
00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:16.880
Bad.
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:21.599
I've done that in so many the actual scenario because of what I do.
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:22.400
Yeah, yeah.
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:29.279
Uh but then what I tend to do is the very last minute plan all these different stuff, these new stuff that I'm going to try for the first time at that time.
00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:30.720
Oh my god, magic trim it, magic.
00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:32.160
And then never do it.
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:32.640
Yeah, yeah.
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:34.400
So just go back to the old faithful and make it good.
00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:36.960
Um bad then.
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:39.039
I needed to reply to a very ordinary email.
00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:43.519
It probably required three sentences, but I kept putting it off because I wanted to word it perfectly.
00:31:43.839 --> 00:31:44.799
I know what they need.
00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:48.559
After two weeks, I was so embarrassed about the delay that replying felt even harder.
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:53.920
The person eventually messaged to check whether I'd received it and the whole thing had become enormous and awkward in my head.
00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:54.880
It's horrible.
00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:56.160
We've spoken about that before, then we've got.
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:03.680
Simple VMails, you just get this block and you kind of send it, and you don't know why you kind of send it, and it's horri it can lead to big situations.
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:05.839
So what's what's the advice on that then?
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:10.079
To put you on the spot.
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:12.240
Yeah, it's get yourself a frankie.
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:16.000
Basically, I I don't like to mention it again, but that's obviously a big help.
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:17.039
Of course it is.
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:22.880
But no, I d I can't even put advice on it because I still do it.
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:26.799
I'll still put off that one email that that I just don't want to send.
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:28.480
And it can be absolutely nothing.
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:30.480
It can be the most simple of emails.
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:41.440
I've got an email for a dentist appointment that sent me the email two weeks ago, and all they said was reply yes to this dentist.
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:48.640
All you had to literally reply yes, and I thought about it every day for two weeks and never sent that email to reply yes.
00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:51.839
And yesterday I sent the word yes to this dentist.
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:53.119
And they've cancelled your appointment back.
00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:55.119
Probably, but that that was it.
00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:55.680
That just wasn't a good thing.
00:32:55.839 --> 00:32:56.799
It's weird, it's weird, isn't it?
00:32:56.960 --> 00:32:58.400
You brought it being very strange.
00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:02.799
Last one then, uh the funny, I set three alarms to remind myself to take something important to work.
00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:03.920
Each alarm went off.
00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:06.000
I dismissed everyone without reading the label.
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:10.160
I arrived at work with the out there without the item and complained that nobody reminded me.
00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:14.640
When I checked my phone, the final alarm was literally read, do not ignore this again.
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:15.359
Yep.
00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:17.119
Again, that is you down to a T, isn't it?
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:20.400
Um I think all you would just all UADHD is just like be cult.
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:25.279
It's honestly, I'm learning so much through watching more people and talking to more people.
00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:28.000
It's yeah, I think we're the normal ones.
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:34.079
