00:00I haven't yet received my advanced copy of Toxic Boss by Norma Pearce.
00:18You can't sue if the statement is substantially true.
00:21What about libel?
00:22Have you thought maybe you're overreacting?
00:25No! You're firing at the wrong enemy.
00:27That's not how I see it.
00:29I think what Norma means is reality is such a powerful source of inspiration.
00:33Thank you, Laura.
00:34Are you here to meet Daniel?
00:35Can you pick another husband to be obsessed with?
00:38I'm not going back to work.
00:39I don't want her to just be a wife.
00:40Okay, so here, here, you want this?
00:42My door is always open.
00:44I don't want any of you to feel unheard.
00:46Keep up the good work, guys.
00:48I mean, you're just inspiring me every day.
00:52I don't know.
00:53I'm not looking at you.
00:55I'm not looking at you.
00:56I'm not looking at you.
00:57I'm not looking at you.
00:58I'm not looking at you.
01:00Oi, don't cheat.
01:01I'm helping you.
01:02My daughter's very competitive.
01:04No, I'm not.
01:05Viv, are you sure you don't want to play?
01:07Oh, no.
01:08She doesn't like games.
01:09Yeah, poker's gambling and gambling's an addiction.
01:11Oh, well, we don't play with real money.
01:14Oh.
01:15Can we?
01:16I could do with some rent money.
01:17No.
01:18Can't afford it.
01:19Why don't we just have a conversation like adults?
01:21Because we like playing games.
01:22It's fun.
01:23Ev, have you thought any more about speaking to the assembly on Tuesday?
01:27Oh, International Women's Day.
01:29No, I'm booked.
01:31Sorry, but isn't International Women's Day a bit of a sham?
01:34Like, it's more about pinkwashing rather than actual equality.
01:37Oh, no.
01:38You can't afford to get betting with a bad hand.
01:39No, not with a gender pay gap.
01:41Oh, my gosh.
01:42Why does everything always have to be about gender?
01:43Exactly.
01:44Feminism is redundant.
01:46Why can't we all just be humanists?
01:48Because humans are the ones that are doing bad things to humans.
01:51No, I agree with Viv.
01:53Good.
01:54I am available on Tuesday, John.
01:56Lock me in.
01:57Okay.
01:58Do you know women are 50% more likely to be misdiagnosed after a heart attack?
02:02No.
02:03Who cares?
02:04Who cares about medical trials favouring men?
02:06Okay, let's just play poker.
02:09Mum's, like, always angry.
02:11Okay, here's the river.
02:12Boom.
02:13I'm all in.
02:14Somebody give me five more tips.
02:15No.
02:16Alright.
02:17Check.
02:18Fold.
02:19Fold.
02:20I drew the nut blush.
02:21Oh.
02:22Who's shuffling these cards?
02:23I'm not playing this game anymore.
02:25Oh, hang on a minute.
02:26Wait.
02:27Not finished.
02:28Who's up for a game of high card?
02:29No.
02:43I'm quite enjoying being a 50s housewife.
03:04What about your financial independence?
03:06Daniel's money's my money.
03:08Like, mine is mine.
03:10You won't have any.
03:12I'll have his.
03:13Wouldn't that be disempowering?
03:17Surely there's more to life than just motherhood and working.
03:20It's online shopping, but you need money to do that well.
03:23I think our definitions of success are just different.
03:26That's okay, Ed.
03:27Well, I don't know what you want me to say to that.
03:29Why should I feel ashamed to admit that I enjoy my work?
03:33You ever thought you might be a workaholic?
03:35Yeah, of course I am.
03:36I've worked hard at that.
03:37Nice one.
03:38What?
03:39What?
03:40That's...
03:41That's my therapist.
03:42She's picking up dog shit.
03:51Didn't say hello.
03:52It's out of context.
03:53She's protecting your privacy.
03:54Sylvie!
03:55Evelyn.
03:56I thought you saw me.
03:57That you turned away.
03:59I did see you.
04:00Morning.
04:01Morning.
04:02Morning.
04:03It's a bit weird not to say hello.
04:04Okay, that's weird.
04:05It didn't have to be.
04:06You made it weird.
04:07I have to go.
04:08Oh, God.
04:09What is with your hugs?
04:10It felt emotionally dusty.
04:11We've signed up for an intimacy workshop with a somatic therapist.
04:14Maybe you could join.
04:15There's nothing wrong with my intimacy.
04:16I'm intimate.
04:17It's a real problem for women our age.
04:18I'm fine, thanks.
04:19You could do a story on it.
04:22Who found that picture of me?
04:24Oh, yeah.
04:25Huh.
04:26The turnal clock is ticking for DiCaprio.
04:27That's very clever, Evelyn.
04:28We could have done nothing as a protest move to mark International Women's Day but we
04:33wanted to have some fun.
04:34Yeah, I mean I can't imagine someone critiquing my appearance.
04:39It's a real problem for women our age.
04:40I'm fine, thanks.
04:41I'm fine, thanks.
04:42You could do a story on it.
04:43Who found that picture of me?
04:44Paternal clock is ticking for DiCaprio.
04:45That's very clever, Evelyn.
04:46We could have done nothing as a protest move to mark International Women's Day but we wanted
04:49to have some fun.
04:50Yeah, I mean I can't imagine someone critiquing my appearance.
04:53I mean, what would they say?
04:55I don't know.
04:56Something about the cut of your suit?
04:58Your 90s hair?
04:59Looking like a cheating ex and a bad rom-com?
05:02No one wants to have their bodies splashed across the media in unflattering lights.
05:07Yeah, but don't some women, you know, solicit this type of coverage?
05:11Court controversy, per se?
05:13I mean, context is everything.
05:15Well they were definitely courting controversy.
05:30Riot girls!
05:31Viva la protest!
05:32I mean, what were they protesting?
05:34Briars?
05:35Beauty standards, the way the media treats women, domestic violence, predatory men.
05:41We need more activists.
05:42Yeah.
05:43Huh, Benny.
05:44Oh, hold on.
05:45I'm just getting word that the protesters are launching a new website called Tart.
05:50What?
05:51That was a PR stunt.
05:53Well, I take back what I said earlier about brave activists.
05:57They're not right, girls.
05:59Edited by feminist commentator Rosalyn Stone.
06:02She's good.
06:03Um, so, final word for International Women's Day, Evelyn?
06:09Just support women.
06:12Rosalyn Stone, two-faced, hypocritical.
06:16Bitch.
06:17I wasn't gonna say it out loud.
06:19Well, let's see if she pays her contributors.
06:21They say they pay 15 cents per word.
06:2415 cents?
06:25That's good.
06:26We pay $50 a piece.
06:27Now.
06:28$50 is 335 words at Tart.
06:31Whatever.
06:32Look, I wouldn't worry about it.
06:33It seems academic.
06:34That's not our audience.
06:35We're academic, aren't we?
06:38Penny's last story was titled,
06:40What My Undie Draw Says About Me.
06:42It's about getting comfortable with being comfortable, Paul.
06:46Gender and empathy.
06:47Men shouldn't need to imagine it if it were your wife slash daughter slash mother,
06:51written by...
06:53Written by who?
06:54Who, Jean?
06:55Your favourite Norma Pearce, senior news editor.
06:58What?
07:00Oh, good old Norma strikes again.
07:03Look, youthfulness is their thing.
07:05We're young feminists smashing barriers, kicking asses.
07:09Yeah, I'd like to know how young Rosalyn Stone is.
07:13Jean, find out.
07:14Ev, it's just highbrow, inaccessible, head-up-its-own-ass dribble.
07:19Let's keep the train on the tracks, folks.
07:21Yeah, Paul's right.
07:22It's just, it's just, head-up-its-own-ass dribble.
07:26Maybe I'll call Rosalyn Stone and congratulate her.
07:29No!
07:30Bitch.
07:31Signed you.
07:32Wait, what is it?
07:33I managed to get a small bank loan.
07:34Not easy with your history.
07:35The business account is overdrawn.
07:36You only have enough cash flow for the next three months.
07:37Fuck.
07:38Didn't you mention that there was another option?
07:41Look, I can get you an investor.
07:42But you need to know, the headquarters will be in Naples.
07:44Capisce?
07:45Oh, I like Naples.
07:46It's the New Yorker of Europe.
07:47The hustle, the pizza.
07:48It's fun.
07:49Cool.
07:50Naples, Naples.
07:51As in, what can I do?
07:52I can get you an investor.
07:54I can get you an investor.
07:55But you need to know, the headquarters will be in Naples.
07:58Capisce?
07:59I like Naples.
08:00It's the New Yorker of Europe.
08:01The hustle, the pizza.
08:02It's fun.
08:03Oh, cool.
08:04Naples, Naples.
08:05As in, what can I do?
08:06I want to do this?
08:07You know, I want to do this.
08:08I want to do this.
08:09I want to do it.
08:10I want to do it.
08:11You know, I want to do it.
08:12I want to do it.
08:13No, I want to do it.
08:14My name is.
08:15You know, I want to do it.
08:16Naples?
08:18As in organised crime?
08:20Naples?
08:21The mafia?
08:22I'm not saying another word.
08:24How the fuck do you have mafia connections?
08:30Okay, just give me one more day.
08:32Two on Monday.
08:33That's six more days.
08:34I'm not good at maths.
08:36No shit.
08:40Raise your hands if you love being a woman.
08:43Yes.
08:44I do too.
08:45And for me, being a woman is exhilarating.
08:49It's wondrous.
08:51It's emotional.
08:53It's sometimes hormonal.
08:55But I think we've tried so hard to normalise being a woman
08:59that we've forgotten how magical it is.
09:02We can be independent and well-educated.
09:06We have choices.
09:08We no longer need to be defined by being a boy or a girl.
09:11I know some of you are reading Little Women.
09:14And my message today is inspired by Jo March.
09:18My favourite March sister.
09:20She was the writer, the tomboy.
09:24And like her, I had a little crush on Laurie too.
09:26My message is Jo's message.
09:30It is so important to be independent and free so that you never have to ask a man for permission.
09:39Worse still, ask them for money.
09:42Even when you really, really, really need it.
09:48Those braille titles.
09:50Blindfold you.
09:51Blindfold me.
09:52No.
09:53I think so.
09:54Lady Japanese lover.
09:55Lady Japanese lover.
09:56It's okay.
09:57Are you going to read it to me?
09:58Later.
09:59Yeah, I'd like that.
10:00German literature.
10:01At least find some romantic fiction.
10:03We were just discussing reorganising the biographies.
10:06How stimulating.
10:07Okay.
10:08Great speech today.
10:09Thanks.
10:10Do you think that's appropriate?
10:11Canoodling in the library like horny teenagers?
10:12We were not canoodling.
10:13And don't say horny.
10:14I need to ask you something about work.
10:15No.
10:16No.
10:17No.
10:18No.
10:19No.
10:20No.
10:21No.
10:22No.
10:23No.
10:24No.
10:25No.
10:26No.
10:27No.
10:28No.
10:29No.
10:30No.
10:31No.
10:32No.
10:33No.
10:34No.
10:35No.
10:36No.
10:37No.
10:38No.
10:39No.
10:40You don't even know what it is.
10:41You're going to ask me to invest in Eve because you really, really need it.
10:46Just hear me out.
10:47No.
10:48Yes, I do need an investor for the business.
10:52But I'm starting to get really worried about my own financial future.
10:56Ginny's in a relationship.
10:57You've hooked up with Miss Honey.
10:59Don't be so hypocritical.
11:01You just did a whole rousing speech about the importance of financial independence.
11:04Yes, so those girls can secure their future without making terrible fucking life mistakes
11:09like I did.
11:10Excuse me.
11:11Excuse me.
11:12Could you take this out of the court wrangle, please?
11:13This is a quiet place.
11:14No.
11:15Yes.
11:16No.
11:17No.
11:18No.
11:19Yes.
11:20No.
11:21No.
11:22No.
11:23No.
11:24No.
11:25No.
11:26Oh, little women.
11:27Did my speech inspire you?
11:28Oh, no.
11:29It's part of the curriculum.
11:30Oh.
11:31No.
11:32It's part of the curriculum.
11:35Oh.
11:37Oh.
11:38Oh, no.
11:39Oh, no.
11:41Oh, no.
11:42Oh.
11:43Oh, no.
11:44Come on, I made a test for my article.
11:48No way, no.
11:49Come on, be a good girl now.
11:51Oh, breaking.
11:52A woman in Alabama is in an intimate relationship with a houseplant.
11:55You've got to hear this.
11:56Tart's posted a brutal takedown of Who Man's board.
12:00A bunch of men scratching their balls telling women what they want.
12:04We all love Tart.
12:05I mean, compared with Who Man, they write stories that matter.
12:08We do stories that matter, Penn.
12:10We've just got to be more edgy.
12:14Lily, get that wellness vertical up.
12:18You can do a podcast on it.
12:20I got a good lead on an orgasm workshop.
12:23I think it might work.
12:24In the meantime, Penn, give me 400 words on the woman in Alabama that fucks the plant.
12:29Okay, how are the dailies?
12:33You look stiff.
12:35Worried about you.
12:36Now, John's moved on.
12:38Good.
12:39Wish he'd move on out of the family home.
12:44I'm stiff because I'm a workaholic.
12:48Oh, she admits it.
12:51You know, Simon's an osteopath.
12:54Yeah, I know.
12:55I'm not interested.
12:57I mean, I don't even...
12:58I could have a look at your neck.
13:00Oh, no.
13:01No, I'm fine.
13:03I just...
13:04I didn't sleep last night.
13:07I haven't relaxed for 14 years.
13:10I'm guessing it's all coming from your hips.
13:12I could have said something really offensive about...
13:20Yes, but you didn't.
13:21I was literally about to say they're not real fucking doctors.
13:24I've asked him to move in.
13:26What?
13:27I don't even know him.
13:28Yes, I do.
13:29What star sign is he?
13:31I don't know.
13:31I don't follow astrology.
13:32There is Libra.
13:33May 6.
13:35That's Dad's birthday.
13:38Mum, you love having your own space.
13:40With me and John?
13:42What about your financial freedom?
13:44I like it when a man pays.
13:46Two steps forward, one step back.
13:48Yes, but we're always ahead.
13:51He makes me laugh.
13:53I make you laugh.
13:55And I sing in the shower.
13:56Do you love?
13:58Treats me well, Ev.
14:00Better than your father did.
14:01Charles Manson would have treated you better than Dad did.
14:04I thought he treated those hippies well.
14:06Oh.
14:07Loyal to the end they were.
14:08Look, can't you be happy for me?
14:15Welcome.
14:15Hi, welcome.
14:16Thank you for coming.
14:18Welcome.
14:19Oh, hi.
14:19I'm George.
14:20Hi, Evelyn Jones.
14:22I actually called yesterday.
14:24I'm hoping to run a piece on the workshop for my website, Eve Live.
14:29Do you enjoy watching people being intimate, Evelyn Jones?
14:32Um, well, it depends on what level of intimacy we're talking about.
14:38Well, it's not a spectator sport.
14:41If you want to stay, you're going to have to play.
14:43And then you can write with lived experience.
14:45They're straight reporting to.
14:47Um, I'm not really into this kind of thing.
14:51And I'm going through a divorce, so it might be wasted on me.
14:57I don't have a partner.
15:00Dennis!
15:01Come in here.
15:05Dennis?
15:06This is Evelyn.
15:07She'll be your partner today.
15:09Oh.
15:11Welcome, Evelyn.
15:12Don't worry.
15:13We won't see each other again after today.
15:18Okay.
15:19Come on in.
15:26Em!
15:28Eat it.
15:29What is she doing here?
15:30Oh, I'm going to do a story on George, but he's making me participate.
15:35Are you serious?
15:36Is this meant to be about, about us?
15:37I'm not doing sex stuff in front of her.
15:40Is this a group sex thing?
15:42Oh my God, relax.
15:44It's a couple's workshop.
15:46George is the best in the biz.
15:48What biz?
15:49Intimacy?
15:50Who's your partner anyway?
15:51Dennis.
15:52This book's Dennis.
15:54One in the sockets.
15:58Fall into their eyes.
16:01Feel yourself merging with their physical presence.
16:06A little closer.
16:12A little more.
16:19A tiny bit closer.
16:22Surrender and submit.
16:24I see the pain in your regret.
16:29I see your beauty and your courage.
16:33Explore each other's breath and body sensations.
16:36I see your lust.
16:37I want it.
16:40I see your love.
16:44We should all feel safe in our bodies so we can let go of pent-up emotions and trauma.
16:51I know you're blindfolded, but look deeply into your partner.
16:57Lucy.
16:59Lucy.
16:59Now, we're going to mix things up a little.
17:03I want you to reveal a secret to this new partner.
17:06Let's relish in that vulnerability and speak your truth.
17:19I don't really want to do this, so let's just pretend that we've said something dirty.
17:34Ev.
17:37I'm not happy.
17:38I don't know what's going on, but...
17:42Are you pretending?
17:43I'm not happy, and I don't know what to do.
17:47She's doing all of this for you.
17:50She's pole dancing, for fuck's sake.
17:52She's terrible at it.
17:54She's having sex.
17:55She hates sex.
17:56Stop it.
18:00Stop it.
18:00I'm fucking stuck in this.
18:02Stop it.
18:03Oh, I can't.
18:05Where's Dennis?
18:06I want Dennis.
18:13Tell your partner what you see.
18:16We've spoken our truth.
18:19Now, let's sit in it.
18:24Okay.
18:25Um.
18:26I see your relatively normal-sized head.
18:33I see your masculine energy.
18:35It scares me, actually.
18:37I see your lack of self-care.
18:40I see your narcissism.
18:42I see your desperation.
18:44I see your anxiety.
18:46You're barely hanging on.
18:49Can you feel the intimacy in that?
18:54He doesn't even know me.
18:56He doesn't even know me.
18:57He doesn't even know me.
18:58He doesn't even know me.

19:03Go on.
19:03Go on.
19:08I see.
19:13Your generosity.
19:13You are mirrors for one another, Evelyn.
19:19And this is an exercise in self-reflection.
19:21I see your trauma.
19:22I see your damage.
19:29I see your trauma.

19:43Good.
19:44But now it's time to forgive yourself, Evelyn.
19:49I see your pain.
20:04I see your anger.
20:06I know why you said no.
20:09I see your hurt.
20:11I see my blame.
20:16Have you been day drinking again?
20:19You encouraged me to start blogging on the living room floor.
20:24Then the coffee table.
20:26Then in the office when you stained the coffee table.
20:29You lent me $39 for the Eve Life URL.
20:34I didn't pay you back.
20:35You didn't have to.
20:36It wasn't transactional.
20:40I've always believed in you.
20:45I just feel so anxious.
20:48Dennis was right.
20:49I'm barely hanging on.
20:52Who the fuck is Dennis?
20:54Doesn't matter.
20:57I deserve a better deal.
20:58I undersold myself in the settlement.
21:03Out of guilt.
21:04And you know that.
21:05You knew it then and you know it now.
21:10I need your support again.
21:13If you don't want to sell the house, can you get a line of credit?
21:17I need the money, John.
21:20I can't just bail you out.
21:22But if I was to help, I would need a stake in the business and some sort of plan.
21:31Yeah, I've got a plan.
21:33I want to further develop the podcast channel.
21:35I mean, I know I'm onto something big there.
