Transcription

Chapter 1: What thoughtful Mother's Day gift did Dalton give Laura?

3.558 - 10.354 Unknown

So this problem has been with us through the ages. Shut up.

0

10.474 - 13.982 Laura

People were asking about this in the 1800s and we still are.

0

14.002 - 16.909 Unknown

We haven't solved the problem of the bridesmaid.

0

22.576 - 48.838 Steffi

Hello. Hi. How are you today? I am swell. Cool. Have a quick update. Great. So we had a possum man come and we found the hole that the sugar gutter came out of and it was behind the TV, which makes sense now why it was running towards the TV. It was trying to find its way back into the roof of the house. and they put a little thing there. Anyway, they've done it.

0

48.858 - 67.628 Steffi

There's this contraption that basically any possums that are in there, because they sleep in your roof in the day, they will be able to get out, obviously. Wait. Are you catching the possums? No, no, no. So they leave the house. Yep. And they can't get back in. So no new possums can come in. Perfect.

67.648 - 72.961 Steffi

But the possums will go out for their activities because they're awake at night and then they'll come back and they'll be like, oh, I can't get in.

73.603 - 75.428 Dalton

And they can't get in the roof either anymore?

75.448 - 76.731 Steffi

No. Yes.

76.711 - 79.977 Dalton

Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They can't get in the house or the roof.

Chapter 2: What update does Steph provide about her sugar glider situation?

79.997 - 83.164 Dalton

Great. Perfect. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you're not housing possums anymore.

0

83.384 - 84.065 Steffi

No, exactly.

0

84.206 - 88.133 Dalton

Also, just a reminder for anyone that missed the last episode, it wasn't actually a possum.

0

88.314 - 92.181 Unknown

It was a striped bladder, which is a very cute little mouse-like thing.

0

92.341 - 93.243 Dalton

Maybe a little bit bigger than a mouse.

93.263 - 95.147 Unknown

Definitely bigger than a mouse. But anyway.

95.427 - 99.732 Dalton

Okay, well, that's awesome to know. I'm very happy to hear no more sugar glider stories for you.

99.752 - 100.093 Steffi

Thank you.

100.313 - 115.452 Dalton

Now, I have to ask you. Okay. So this is a very different thing for me to be wearing today. Yes. Okay, now, for everyone listening, I bought this outfit two years ago and I missed the return. I hate that. time.

Chapter 3: What historical book from 1878 does Laura discuss?

978.5 - 985.849 Dalton

Keep your ideal restful response always in mind's eye when you realise how much more attractive to the male eye... The male gaze.

0

986.17 - 986.591 Lindsay

Oh, my goodness.

0

986.611 - 998.11 Dalton

This aspect is when you're nervous, fidgety, jumping one, you'll find it easy to put yourself through the paces necessary to acquire the calm you desire. You feel infinitely better when you get eight hours sleep. You know this.

0

998.45 - 1021.142 Dalton

This is your immediate reward if you require a reward for perhaps giving up a late party occasionally or forcing yourself to go to bed when you feel that you'd rather sit up and finish that... And finish that absorption of how, what is it, that absorbing story you've started. The realization of how much better, also guys, the words are so small.

0

1021.542 - 1035.518 Dalton

The realization of how much better you'll feel tomorrow should be a reward enough. Your calmer, steady nerves, brighter eyes will endow you with charm and you'll gradually achieve the restful personality that is normal for any person.

1035.498 - 1040.974 Unknown

Perfectly healthy woman to have. Isn't this insane?

1041.917 - 1063.411 Steffi

Lindsay and Steffi, give me your thoughts. Wow. Wow. I mean, like, yeah. I mean, we know. I mean, things like... ADHD symptoms, which sounded like a lot of those things, like that didn't literally exist for women until, I don't know, was it like 40 years? I don't know. It was not that long ago that women actually started getting diagnosed.

1063.452 - 1085.935 Steffi

It was men and boys, and then they started to see it in girls a little bit ago, but it was still only a childhood thing, and it was very underlooked at. So it's just, it's no surprise to me, but it's also like just... I think you just have to laugh, unfortunately, at, like, how fucking barbaric that is. Barbaric. Linz, what do you think?

1085.955 - 1090.821 Lindsay

Yeah, it just makes me sad to think of women living in this time, like how limited their lives must have been.

Chapter 4: How do beauty standards from the 1800s compare to today?

1907.699 - 1923.118 Dalton

We have got blue-eyed Kayla Jade on. We sure do. Who you may know from TikTok or Instagram. I love her content so much. She's such a good storyteller. Anyway, her book is out and we are asking her a lot of questions in that episode. It is a very good, juicy episode. Highly recommend listening to it.

0

1923.698 - 1930.146 Dalton

And then we will be back on you tomorrow, Wednesday, and then back with a Monday episode next Monday. Love you guys. Bye. Bye.
