Transcript

00:00:00.000 think, what do women bring to society that is essential?
00:00:04.260 Yeah, I agree with love.
00:00:06.540 Other words that come to me are sensuality and sensitivity,
00:00:11.340 I heard just then as well.
00:00:14.080 And sensuality can be anything like the appreciation
00:00:19.260 of your daily activity.
00:00:20.920 There's a beautiful flower.
00:00:21.920 There's some amazing architecture.
00:00:23.200 You're tuning into that frequency,
00:00:24.620 that emotional frequency that I think a lot of men
00:00:27.320 don't tend to normally have.
00:00:29.340 I think the argument here is about the argument we're
00:00:31.920 having here, a lot of your responses
00:00:33.360 have been emotional.
00:00:35.660 But there's a beauty in that as well,
00:00:37.420 because we can take that on board in a positive way.
00:00:50.720 So in the jobs that we listed earlier that men perform,
00:00:53.760 vehicle technicians, carpenters, electricians, metal workers,
00:00:57.660 plumbers, machine drivers, forklift drivers, vehicle delivery drivers,
00:01:02.940 onsite construction workers, and window fabricators.
00:01:08.400 How long do you think you would work in any of the 10 jobs listed
00:01:13.860 that men perform?
00:01:14.840 I wouldn't, because it's not my thing to do.
00:01:20.120 Yeah.
00:01:20.620 I'm not good at it.
00:01:21.160 Is that like, I can pick any one of them?
00:01:23.720 I can't.
00:01:24.460 Yeah.
00:01:24.720 So like, how long do you think you would last before you had to cut?
00:01:28.580 I mean, you know, it kind of depends on like the scenario.
00:01:32.400 Like, I'm quite into the idea of a zombie apocalypse,
00:01:35.080 and I reckon I could, you know, like cope if I really need it too.
00:01:39.560 But if you're asking me like, you know, I've got a choice here.
00:01:43.380 I can carry on leading the life I do live in which I sacrifice the amount of money
00:01:48.940 that I'm able to earn in order to be able to work from home for five days a week,
00:01:54.560 nine to five, and manage my own time because I have other priorities.
00:02:00.800 So yeah, if I have a choice that is not something difficult,
00:02:04.520 then I'm not doing something difficult now.
00:02:06.840 I think I'd last six months.
00:02:09.360 Yeah.
00:02:09.660 I think then I would quit.
00:02:11.220 I would last.
00:02:12.000 As a plumber, I would be gone.
00:02:14.040 I would last.
00:02:14.640 These are things I'm into, though.
00:02:16.140 I'm into building.
00:02:17.120 I'm into doing this.
00:02:18.020 So that stuff I wouldn't mind doing and perfecting.
00:02:20.320 Actually, you know, I do my own DIY, and like if there's, you know,
00:02:23.760 a sink that's blocked, I can deal with that myself.
00:02:26.860 Why aren't you doing it then?
00:02:29.080 Why aren't I doing it?
00:02:29.800 Well, no, I am doing it at home because...
00:02:32.460 I mean for the lady that likes to build.
00:02:34.320 Why aren't you building?
00:02:34.900 Oh, sorry.
00:02:35.540 Why am I not building?
00:02:36.820 Because I work a job where I'm able to make money to travel the world
00:02:40.240 because that's what I want to do right now.
00:02:41.740 I want to travel.
00:02:42.540 I'm trying to work on my acting.
00:02:44.200 I'm trying to do this and do that.
00:02:45.640 And why not?
00:02:45.720 If you can, why not?
00:02:46.440 That's why I'm not.
00:02:47.120 But guess what?
00:02:47.780 If I had money, if I had the money, what did I say the other day?
00:02:51.560 I want to go into mechanic school because I want to learn how to fix cars.
00:02:55.340 This is stuff that I'm genuinely...
00:02:56.500 It's survival.
00:02:57.800 I'm sorry.
00:02:58.260 I have a survival mentality.
00:02:59.680 So these are things I actually want to watch.
00:03:01.700 Yeah, and you want to watch zombie movies as well.
00:03:04.160 You said I watch zombie movies.
00:03:05.240 Yeah, yeah.
00:03:05.860 Wait, what's your day job?
00:03:08.080 Bartending.
00:03:09.360 And we make tips.
00:03:10.260 So I make a lot of money.
00:03:12.100 And that allows...
00:03:13.020 Okay, do you see the disconnect?
00:03:16.220 From what?
00:03:16.740 You're on survival, but your job is a bartender.
00:03:19.500 Yeah.
00:03:20.540 But if you need to survive, you do what you need to do, right?
00:03:22.640 Exactly.
00:03:23.240 I bartend at night.
00:03:24.220 I work on sets during the day.
00:03:25.780 Yeah.
00:03:26.200 I work two jobs.
00:03:26.860 There's nothing wrong with that.
00:03:29.020 But I'm saying that's not like what you're saying.
00:03:30.640 You like to build things.
00:03:32.160 But that is what I do.
00:03:33.120 I think you like to talk.
00:03:34.540 No.
00:03:35.100 Which is okay.
00:03:35.720 I like to talk too.
00:03:36.560 That's why I do what I do.
00:03:37.620 I actually like to build things.
00:03:39.380 Like I literally sit at home.
00:03:41.240 Like when I, let's say, move something breaks, I will fix it.
00:03:44.920 That's things that I actually like.
00:03:46.160 When things go wrong, I will fix them.
00:03:48.080 Yeah.
00:03:48.420 That's the point.
00:03:48.940 That's something I enjoy.
00:03:49.440 If you actually dedicate time to becoming a builder, you make way more money and a way better
00:03:54.340 career than what you're trying to do right now.
00:03:56.880 I would have to always work.
00:03:57.880 You just said you love building.
00:03:59.740 I would have to always work though, right?
00:04:01.400 I would have to always be at work, right?
00:04:03.080 I'm a person who I like freedom, right?
00:04:05.020 So my job gives me freedom.
00:04:06.360 I could take off whenever I can do it.
00:04:07.980 I don't have to come in for a month if I don't want to.
00:04:10.580 That's the type of freedom I like.
00:04:12.120 If I could be a builder, right, and still make the same amount of money a year, but only come
00:04:16.620 in half the year, why wouldn't I do it?
00:04:18.240 You would easily cut.
00:04:19.380 Why wouldn't I do it?
00:04:19.780 You would easily cut.
00:04:20.140 I don't have the same luxury of what you just said.
00:04:24.440 As in?
00:04:25.040 As what?
00:04:25.880 I can't choose a job where I can just get up and go whenever I want.
00:04:30.200 Why can't you?
00:04:31.160 There's a whole bunch of male bartenders I work with.
00:04:33.520 They do the same thing.
00:04:34.740 They travel the country singing.
00:04:36.320 This is why we say women can never understand the disconnect between women and men.
00:04:40.720 Just like, obviously, I'm doing a job I enjoy.
00:04:43.440 I'm doing a job I love.
00:04:44.460 And I appreciate having this kind of job.
00:04:46.600 Most people are not even in the position I'm in right now.
00:04:49.140 But I still can't just get up and go whenever I want because of the responsibilities that
00:04:54.400 I have as a man.
00:04:55.260 Yeah, you plan around, obviously.
00:04:56.800 If you want a construction job, tell me.
00:04:58.960 I have connections.
00:05:00.420 Oh, wow.
00:05:00.900 I want a construction job.
00:05:01.960 But that's the thing.
00:05:03.760 You're saying you don't have the luxury because, again, that is the job that you chose.
00:05:07.300 I chose a job that gave me those luxuries.
00:05:09.320 No, it's because the reason why I don't have the luxury to get up and go is not really
00:05:12.700 about the job.
00:05:13.300 It's about the goals I have for my life.
00:05:16.160 So if I were to be getting up and going whenever I wanted to or whenever I felt like, I'm literally
00:05:21.660 putting stops on my way to get into where I need to be in life.
00:05:25.340 But why is that?
00:05:26.220 I have goals, right?
00:05:27.260 I'm sitting here on a podcast, which is networking, which is furthering my goals.
00:05:32.880 Go and look at every successful person that has made any amount of money that you can
00:05:36.420 never be proud of or say, this is a good body of work.
00:05:39.840 They never had the luxury to get up and go whenever they wanted.
00:05:42.380 But we're saying again, women should be, you know, wives and teachers and not think about
00:05:48.180 money.
00:05:48.640 Men can't think like that.
00:05:50.000 And that's why men are where they are.
00:05:51.860 And because men would literally work 80 hours a week to get to where they need to get to.
00:05:56.180 But who says that I don't sit there and work?
00:05:58.840 I work 80 hours a week in a 40 hour amount of time.
00:06:03.180 What?
00:06:04.280 Easy.
00:06:04.840 Right?
00:06:05.000 So instead of working seven days a week, right?
00:06:07.780 Instead of working one job seven days a week, I'll work two jobs four days a week.
00:06:12.260 Same thing, right?
00:06:13.260 I'm putting the same time in.
00:06:15.000 And this is literally what I do.
00:06:16.920 And you know what I do in my off time?
00:06:18.360 I go to try to further what I'm getting into, right?
00:06:21.140 I'm trying to move to the UK soon.
00:06:22.780 So what am I doing?
00:06:23.860 Making a name for myself in the UK.
00:06:25.720 I'm still furthering my career.
00:06:28.280 We're doing the same thing.
00:06:29.520 We're just taking different routes to do it.
00:06:31.080 If a man decides that he needs to work 80 hours a week to further himself, that's on him.
00:06:36.340 I chose a job that's going to give me the luxury to do what I need to do for myself that works for me.
00:06:41.640 So tomorrow is your first day on the building site.
00:06:48.100 How long is it going to be until you're back doing what you're doing now?
00:06:52.160 Because I think that's more of the question, isn't it?
00:06:54.500 Is what?
00:06:54.960 If I start working on a building site?
00:06:56.320 Yeah, so construction.
00:06:57.040 How long do you think you'd last in a construction job?
00:06:59.100 In a construction job?
00:07:02.080 What is it?
00:07:02.700 You get two weeks out of vacation, three weeks vacation a year?
00:07:06.120 Maybe.
00:07:07.640 What are the wages?
00:07:09.440 So this is how I would think about it.
00:07:11.240 I would literally think about it like, okay, if I work a construction job for five years, right?
00:07:15.460 I'll work that job, make enough money to build my own whatever company, whatever like that,
00:07:22.080 and now start another business from that.
00:07:23.560 That's how my mind works.
00:07:24.800 Five years.
00:07:26.260 Five years to make enough money to have my own business.
00:07:29.120 It would last five years.
00:07:29.800 No, she's staying in, she's staying in the industry.
00:07:32.260 I'm staying in the industry.
00:07:32.620 Yeah.
00:07:33.020 But I'm just...
00:07:33.580 She's in for life.
00:07:34.500 She's starting tomorrow.
00:07:36.420 And the next, like, Trump Tower, it's going to be Peeps Tower.
00:07:40.280 Next door, next door, they're building a building.
00:07:41.820 I'll sign you up.
00:07:43.240 You can move to the UK.
00:07:44.420 I promise.
00:07:45.080 If they give me a visa, I promise I'll move here tomorrow and start building.
00:07:48.680 You can get a master's degree and get a visa, you know.
00:07:51.120 You can marry me instead.
00:07:52.900 There we go.
00:07:53.720 You can get a visa through a master's degree, though, just so you know.
00:07:58.260 What, here?
00:07:58.660 Yeah, you get it with a two-year visa or a two-year degree.
00:08:02.920 No, you can get a master's degree in a year, one year, and then get a visa at the end.
00:08:06.460 And they'll give you a visa.
00:08:07.460 What, indefinite visa?
00:08:08.580 Yeah, it's like two years or something.
00:08:11.340 What, you mean coming here, going to school here?
00:08:13.800 No, like, you get a work visa once you graduate.
00:08:17.400 That's what I'm saying, here or back in America?
00:08:19.240 No, UK.
00:08:20.060 So, do you want to move to the UK?
00:08:21.540 Okay, so just apply for school.
00:08:23.120 Yeah, okay.
00:08:23.860 I have a bachelor's.
00:08:25.120 That's what I did.
00:08:25.800 Yeah, thank you.
00:08:27.560 That was one of the best advice I've had so far.
00:08:29.980 I appreciate it.
00:08:30.620 Yeah, yeah.
00:08:31.120 Sisterhood.
00:08:31.920 Very nice.
00:08:32.300 Yeah, how long do you think you would work?
00:08:34.480 Have you ever worked construction?
00:08:36.020 Any blue collar?
00:08:37.360 Too good looking for that.
00:08:39.360 You know, when I was younger, like, Saturday jobs and stuff like this.
00:08:42.380 Oh, yeah.
00:08:42.700 How long do you think you could have worked a construction job?
00:08:47.680 Not very long, to be honest.
00:08:49.440 I mean, I don't find joy in it.
00:08:51.780 I get stimulation through the practicality of it, yes.
00:08:54.900 But, I mean, you know, I went to study engineering, you know,
00:08:58.760 so it's similar, but I quickly realized I didn't want to get my hands
00:09:01.500 studied for the rest of my life.
00:09:04.020 So, how long?
00:09:06.240 A year.
00:09:06.740 I said six months.
00:09:10.820 I was like, I couldn't be me.
00:09:13.540 I'm like, you're a good looking man.
00:09:14.880 Of course, you're not doing construction.
00:09:16.320 Come on.
00:09:16.980 That's not a construction phase.
00:09:18.360 That I love the buddy.
00:09:19.220 All right.
00:09:19.680 We're going to do one more question, then we're going to close out the show.
00:09:26.980 All right.
00:09:27.340 If a man were to get a maid, a prostitute, and a cook,
00:09:31.760 what would the man need a woman for?
00:09:33.640 To cuddle.
00:09:39.840 To listen to him, and to speak to him, and to be a companion,
00:09:45.000 and to grow together.
00:09:46.820 That's the prostitutes I have.
00:09:49.380 They do that with prostitutes now.
00:09:51.800 I'm sorry.
00:09:52.320 I'm not too involved in the business.
00:09:55.160 Yeah.
00:09:55.520 What services is he buying?
00:09:57.280 Is it the girlfriend experience?
00:09:58.760 Yeah.
00:09:59.260 This is a high-end.
