00:00:00:00 - 00:00:30:19
Speaker 1
Have you heard of the great adulting test? No. Well, that's because we just made it up. 20 questions to figure out if you and if we are actually functional adults. Welcome to late bloomers. But we are getting our lives together and adulting eventually brought you by our amazing sponsor, Loop Earplugs. I'm feeling fairly confident on this one. I love you, but I do not mean I like think that I'm going to do okay here.

00:00:30:21 - 00:00:52:03
Speaker 1
So this is the great adulting test. It's 20 questions that's basically been pulled from the internet and Reddit about what makes somebody a functional adult. Disclaimer it's obviously like tongue in cheek a little.

00:00:52:05 - 00:01:09:06
Speaker 1
So are you taking it really seriously already. It's like a test. Of course I'm going to take it and say Max you're going to be scoring. Okay. I'm gonna say Max is in the background. He kind of edits and manages the podcast. For anyone that doesn't know, he's more than that. Yeah, these are friends. He's more than that.

00:01:09:07 - 00:01:20:13
Speaker 1
He's a friend. He's a best friend. He's a best friend. He's a brother. And basically, you decide whether we get an adult point or not per question, and then give us the totals at the end.

00:01:20:16 - 00:01:22:11
Speaker 2
Okay, so I've got to really lock in here.

00:01:22:12 - 00:01:34:08
Speaker 1
You've really got to focus. You should be focused anyway, right? Are you ready for the first question? I'm ready. It just feels weighted against me. Well, adulting.

00:01:34:10 - 00:01:36:03
Speaker 3
Oh, well. The questions.

00:01:36:05 - 00:01:38:22
Speaker 1
Do you have a valid driving license?

00:01:38:24 - 00:01:43:15
Speaker 3
Yes. Of course. Do you.

00:01:43:17 - 00:01:50:23
Speaker 1
Think I have a valid provisional driving license?

00:01:50:23 - 00:01:55:07
Speaker 3
But you pass your driving test, haven't you? Yes. What happened there then, babes?

00:01:55:09 - 00:02:00:03
Speaker 1
I lost my license in my 20s.

00:02:00:05 - 00:02:02:21
Speaker 3
Because. Why? I think.

00:02:02:23 - 00:02:06:03
Speaker 1
I ran a few red lights.

00:02:06:05 - 00:02:08:01
Speaker 3

00:02:08:03 - 00:02:13:00
Speaker 1
And got sent a letter and had my license revoked.

00:02:13:01 - 00:02:14:05
Speaker 3
Just one letter.

00:02:14:07 - 00:02:15:03
Speaker 1
A few letters.

00:02:15:08 - 00:02:18:23
Speaker 3
Okay.

00:02:19:00 - 00:02:23:00
Speaker 2
I think there's a clear winner on that.

00:02:23:02 - 00:02:36:21
Speaker 1
Sure. Just so you know, you could give a point to each. It doesn't have to be a winner. I'm not arguing that I should get a point on that. It's a bad example, but for the listener at home, you get to have a point. You know, it's not okay when I lose.

00:02:36:23 - 00:02:38:24
Speaker 2
One nil to Rich. Just to clarify that.

00:02:39:00 - 00:02:47:04
Speaker 3
Yeah, sure. Are you ready for question two? Sure. Could you tell me within 100 pounds how much is in your bank account.

00:02:47:09 - 00:02:48:18
Speaker 1
Right now?

00:02:48:20 - 00:02:54:06
Speaker 3
Yeah. Not when you're looking at it, because then you definitely could. I could.

00:02:54:08 - 00:02:58:24
Speaker 1
Say my savings is.

00:02:59:01 - 00:03:00:16
Speaker 3
You don't have to give the amount.

00:03:00:20 - 00:03:02:00
Speaker 1
350 pounds.

00:03:02:02 - 00:03:03:18
Speaker 3
Oh, yeah.

00:03:03:20 - 00:03:04:20
Speaker 1
Oh.

00:03:04:22 - 00:03:09:10
Speaker 3
Do you know your current account? No, no.

00:03:09:12 - 00:03:12:14
Speaker 1
Do you know within 100 pounds?

00:03:12:16 - 00:03:14:18
Speaker 3
Yeah. How?

00:03:14:20 - 00:03:16:12
Speaker 2
Leave that.

00:03:16:14 - 00:03:17:18
Speaker 3
I can. I can prove it.

00:03:17:19 - 00:03:28:03
Speaker 1
And I want Max. Can you verify because I don't want you. Can you can you say it? And by the way, for viewers, listeners at home, say your number and then look. No cheating. All right?

00:03:28:05 - 00:03:35:12
Speaker 3
Okay. So I believe there is.

00:03:35:14 - 00:03:38:17
Speaker 3
Oh.

00:03:38:19 - 00:03:51:05
Speaker 3
2,600 pounds. That's loads. I know it's because I've. I've recently had to put money in there because I've got to pay the tree people. Wait. Two. Seven. Two, three. That's. I've, I've messed it up.

00:03:51:07 - 00:03:51:11
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00:03:51:11 - 00:03:52:01
Speaker 1
You should.

00:03:52:01 - 00:03:52:24
Speaker 2
I you work close.

00:03:53:00 - 00:03:56:02
Speaker 1
I feel like I should have a get you just like you get it.

00:03:56:04 - 00:03:57:04
Speaker 2
Claim theirs wrong.

00:03:57:07 - 00:03:59:15
Speaker 1
So is it my savings or my car?

00:03:59:16 - 00:04:01:03
Speaker 3
No. Your current account. Come on.

00:04:01:04 - 00:04:03:03
Speaker 1
What's the date of the month? End of.

00:04:03:04 - 00:04:04:08
Speaker 3
23rd or.

00:04:04:10 - 00:04:23:02
Speaker 1
End of the month? So I reliably spend all of my money every month. There's a week left. I get about 2,000 pounds a month. So I reckon there's 500 pounds left just by I spend money. Yeah. Oh, 350 pounds.

00:04:23:03 - 00:04:24:14
Speaker 3
So neither of us got.

00:04:24:15 - 00:04:25:22
Speaker 2
That wrong?

00:04:25:24 - 00:04:30:16
Speaker 3
No, he said 500. She's got 350. Don't try and hoodwink me.

00:04:30:18 - 00:04:32:11
Speaker 2
Both wrong there. So neither of you.

00:04:32:13 - 00:04:36:05
Speaker 3
Get a point. Come on, let's go. Next one. We've had enough time on that.

00:04:36:08 - 00:04:48:02
Speaker 1
Number three. Oh, are you registered to a dentist? And do you visit regularly? Read regularly.

00:04:48:04 - 00:04:50:19
Speaker 3

00:04:50:21 - 00:04:58:18
Speaker 3
We we both are. Because I did it. I went you canceled. You didn't go.

00:04:58:23 - 00:05:01:23
Speaker 1
Wait. I literally went like a couple of months ago.

00:05:01:24 - 00:05:05:23
Speaker 3
No, you did not. That is such a poor key party.

00:05:06:00 - 00:05:18:16
Speaker 1
We went to that lovely lady in on Orpington High Street together and got our teeth done together. You're talking about Seven Oaks, which was two years ago. So you don't go regularly.

00:05:18:18 - 00:05:22:05
Speaker 3
Neither do you. So we're both the same.

00:05:22:11 - 00:05:26:13
Speaker 1
Who? Who said we need to book the dentist this year?

00:05:26:17 - 00:05:28:02
Speaker 3
Who did it?

00:05:28:04 - 00:05:29:13
Speaker 1
Who said we needed?

00:05:29:14 - 00:05:36:00
Speaker 3
You said it doesn't. Like I made it happen. I found the dentist. I emailed a registered us.

00:05:36:02 - 00:05:38:06
Speaker 1
And she said we need to come back for hygiene.

00:05:38:08 - 00:05:41:11
Speaker 3
And we didn't.

00:05:41:13 - 00:05:43:02
Speaker 2
I think rocks actually went.

00:05:43:07 - 00:05:44:00
Speaker 3
Oh shut up.

00:05:44:04 - 00:05:44:10
Speaker 2
No.

00:05:44:12 - 00:05:45:00
Speaker 3
No, this.

00:05:45:00 - 00:05:49:23
Speaker 2
Is you didn't you didn't act on it off your own accord. You wouldn't have done that if you hadn't been told to do that.

00:05:49:24 - 00:05:52:06
Speaker 3
She wouldn't have acted on it on her own accord.

00:05:52:08 - 00:05:55:19
Speaker 1
Because I came back from therapy and was like, we don't take care of ourselves. Why?

00:05:55:21 - 00:05:57:02
Speaker 3
Why didn't you do it then?

00:05:57:06 - 00:06:00:04
Speaker 2
She might have done it if you had a given a given her a half an hour.

00:06:00:06 - 00:06:05:07
Speaker 3
No, she wouldn't have done it. Oh, this is. But this is rigged. I'm not happy about this.

00:06:05:11 - 00:06:06:18
Speaker 1
But am I getting the point or not?

00:06:06:19 - 00:06:07:17
Speaker 2
I know you've got the point.

00:06:07:18 - 00:06:08:02
Speaker 1
What's the.

00:06:08:02 - 00:06:09:06
Speaker 2
Score now? It's one all.

00:06:09:07 - 00:06:18:13
Speaker 3
This is ridiculous, right? Well, this next one's a clear, easy win for me. Do you open important mail?

00:06:18:15 - 00:06:20:19
Speaker 3
I don't know why you're thinking about this.

00:06:20:20 - 00:06:45:08
Speaker 1
So I'll tell you. Because important to me. To me would be delivery of my beauty products. My head, I, my skincare, my new clothes. I would never, ever, ever miss opening an important package to me.

00:06:45:10 - 00:06:50:22
Speaker 2
Can we just distinguish importance in terms of like the definition of which is.

00:06:51:03 - 00:06:59:21
Speaker 3
In my opinion, it's not shopping, it's bills, council tax, water, gas.

00:06:59:23 - 00:07:00:19
Speaker 1
But what.

00:07:00:20 - 00:07:05:07
Speaker 3
If government tax bills, all of that, all of the stuff that you actually have to do.

00:07:05:11 - 00:07:06:22
Speaker 1
And I don't even.

00:07:06:24 - 00:07:11:02
Speaker 3
I open all of mine and all of hers and action. All of it.

00:07:11:04 - 00:07:18:17
Speaker 2
Yeah. Well, much needs to be said to you.

00:07:18:19 - 00:07:26:17
Speaker 1
Number five shopping. Have you ever paid a bill late despite having money in your account to pay it?

00:07:26:23 - 00:07:28:10
Speaker 3
No.

00:07:28:12 - 00:07:29:01
Speaker 1
Ever.

00:07:29:04 - 00:07:30:04
Speaker 3
Never.

00:07:30:06 - 00:07:34:13
Speaker 1
Like entire life. You've never know.

00:07:34:15 - 00:07:35:14
Speaker 2
Live a little man.

00:07:35:18 - 00:07:36:16
Speaker 1
Do you live a little?

00:07:36:20 - 00:07:51:04
Speaker 3
No. Like I always, I always set up direct debits so I don't ever miss a payment for anything. What bills have you paid late, then? Like, what would it be like?

00:07:51:06 - 00:07:59:02
Speaker 1
So recently? Oh, no. No, I, I haven't paid my, you know, I went to see that doctor.

00:07:59:08 - 00:08:00:08
Speaker 3
Yeah.

00:08:00:10 - 00:08:02:14
Speaker 1
I still haven't paid that.

00:08:02:16 - 00:08:05:15
Speaker 3
Yeah. Were you going to say recently? I don't. I haven't paid anything late.

00:08:05:16 - 00:08:06:03
Speaker 1
Yeah.

00:08:06:06 - 00:08:08:20
Speaker 3
What do you have that you do pay then?

00:08:08:22 - 00:08:12:12
Speaker 1
And my phone bill.

00:08:12:14 - 00:08:13:16
Speaker 3
Okay.

00:08:13:18 - 00:08:22:04
Speaker 1
Or does that come out of the subscriptions? Oh, yeah, I don't. Come on. Bills bills bills.

00:08:22:06 - 00:08:35:11
Speaker 3
What, what? I tell you what. I'll share this point because it's. I'm not even like, this is the me. But if you can name our gas and electricity supplier.

00:08:35:13 - 00:08:37:04
Speaker 3
That's all I'm asking.

00:08:37:06 - 00:08:38:16
Speaker 1
Southern electric.

00:08:38:16 - 00:08:41:05
Speaker 2
No point to rich then.

00:08:41:09 - 00:08:41:22
Speaker 1
What is it?

00:08:41:23 - 00:08:43:03
Speaker 3
Octopus energy.

00:08:43:06 - 00:08:43:13
Speaker 1
Oh.

00:08:43:18 - 00:08:47:13
Speaker 3
This is not an advert for 71. They are brilliant.

00:08:47:14 - 00:08:49:05
Speaker 2
It's three one to Rich.

00:08:49:05 - 00:09:08:01
Speaker 3
They're okay. So number six. I don't know how this is an adult thing, but if someone is coming to your house, would you need to hide or tidy up? I guess you're talking about Heidi up. You're not talking about actually hiding from someone?

00:09:08:02 - 00:09:11:08
Speaker 1
No. It's like, would you need to hide stuff quick?

00:09:11:10 - 00:09:15:03
Speaker 3
I mess?

00:09:15:05 - 00:09:18:18
Speaker 1
I don't think so. Like I.

00:09:18:20 - 00:09:26:17
Speaker 3
What do you mean? If someone's coming around you, you tidy up and you light candles and all of that.

00:09:26:17 - 00:09:48:15
Speaker 1
Know if Max is coming round today, I don't feel they need to go and and hide things. Or if your mum and dad come to visit, I don't have to hide things like how I used to hide the way I lived. I'll do a quick tidy I like and make like it nice. But I think that relates to like, is your house in a state where people can show up at the door and you'd be fine?

00:09:48:20 - 00:09:54:03
Speaker 1
My answer in this house is yes, in historical houses would have been know.

00:09:54:04 - 00:10:18:07
Speaker 3
And and okay. That's cool. So and you're the. I didn't really understand the question, but just for clarity. So you. It's good. So you have a house now where you are like someone could come in. It's fine. It's like tidy. It's okay. And you're obviously you're the one that makes that happen like that. You're obviously facilitating the house looking presentable.

00:10:18:09 - 00:10:20:09
Speaker 1
He bought all of the decor.

00:10:20:10 - 00:10:21:19
Speaker 3
Oh 100% that you.

00:10:21:20 - 00:10:23:05
Speaker 1
Bought all of the candles.

00:10:23:06 - 00:10:29:23
Speaker 3
I'm not, I'm not I'm not professing this is a clear me. No. Or I think that.

00:10:30:00 - 00:10:30:21
Speaker 1
It's a team effort.

00:10:30:22 - 00:10:39:15
Speaker 3
Broadly day to day I'm more bothered about maybe clutter and mess stresses me out. You love the vibe and the funk way.

00:10:39:18 - 00:10:42:12
Speaker 1
Yeah. So together we keep a lovely, gorgeous, tidy home.

00:10:42:13 - 00:10:48:08
Speaker 2
Yeah. Is the difference now that you have a bigger space and more space to put things?

00:10:48:09 - 00:10:49:12
Speaker 1
No, I have him.

00:10:49:14 - 00:10:52:20
Speaker 2
Oh, that is the difference. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to give Rich to the point on that one.

00:10:52:24 - 00:11:03:16
Speaker 3
I tried to incorporate you and you also can't when you come into our front door, you can't turn right and go through that door. The junk room can, you know.

00:11:03:18 - 00:11:10:14
Speaker 1
Number seven. Can you wash, dry, fold and put away a load of laundry easily in a 24 hour period?

00:11:10:16 - 00:11:12:17
Speaker 2
I think you're really setting yourself up for failure.

00:11:12:21 - 00:11:14:14
Speaker 1
Well, it's not, it's. Read it.

00:11:14:16 - 00:11:20:00
Speaker 3
Yes I can. Yeah. And do.

00:11:20:02 - 00:11:21:17
Speaker 3
What about. What about you.

00:11:21:19 - 00:11:22:23
Speaker 1
Say.

00:11:23:00 - 00:11:26:01
Speaker 3
I feel like I'm being mean, so I'm gonna. I'm gonna be supportive.

00:11:26:03 - 00:11:33:05
Speaker 1
That's okay. Before I went away a couple of weeks ago. Yeah. Listening party tour. I did a load of washing.

00:11:33:07 - 00:11:40:15
Speaker 3
Yeah. Do you know who took that out of the dryer? That load.

00:11:40:20 - 00:11:41:08
Speaker 1
Did I live.

00:11:41:08 - 00:11:44:07
Speaker 3
In the. Yeah. All of it.

00:11:44:09 - 00:11:44:22
Speaker 1
Did I?

00:11:45:01 - 00:11:46:01
Speaker 3
Yeah.

00:11:46:03 - 00:11:47:10
Speaker 1
But how did I take it away?

00:11:47:13 - 00:11:54:08
Speaker 3
Oh, no. It was before your signing. You did a load and left it all in the.

00:11:54:10 - 00:11:56:21
Speaker 1
I did wonder why I ran out of clothes so quick.

00:11:56:22 - 00:11:57:21
Speaker 3
Yeah.

00:11:57:23 - 00:12:00:03
Speaker 1
I, I yeah like.

00:12:00:05 - 00:12:09:24
Speaker 3
An idea but but I, I can do multiple loads in a day. I quite, I quite often, I quite often get into a bit of a flow state you know.

00:12:10:05 - 00:12:13:12
Speaker 1
No I, I can't, I don't I'm, it's not my.

00:12:13:14 - 00:12:19:10
Speaker 2
Have you got any argument to know. All right. Concede that one then. Five one.

00:12:19:12 - 00:12:20:02
Speaker 3
Oh, babe.

00:12:20:08 - 00:12:21:08
Speaker 1
Okay. All right.

00:12:21:11 - 00:12:23:07
Speaker 2
Let's go to be another one for you. And they will.

00:12:23:08 - 00:12:29:12
Speaker 3
Do you plan meals and cook what you buy.

00:12:29:14 - 00:12:32:01
Speaker 1
So.

00:12:32:03 - 00:12:34:20
Speaker 1
I.

00:12:34:22 - 00:12:38:01
Speaker 1
I like to buy really really simple meals.

00:12:38:02 - 00:12:38:21
Speaker 3
Yeah.

00:12:38:23 - 00:12:46:05
Speaker 1
So I'll buy that like apple slices with peanut butter. I will buy a riveter with Pat.

00:12:46:10 - 00:12:49:24
Speaker 3
I think they're more snacks and but yeah.

00:12:50:01 - 00:13:04:22
Speaker 1
Yeah. But I'm just saying like I buy them because I plan to eat them and I do eat them like I will eat my snacks. Whatever. Like my ADHD girl dinner you often by a lot of vegetables.

00:13:04:24 - 00:13:05:12
Speaker 3
You can.

00:13:05:14 - 00:13:10:02
Speaker 1
Leave them to go rotten. You often throw away a lot of vegetables.

00:13:10:07 - 00:13:27:23
Speaker 3
Well, usually what happens, I think, is that we go shopping and I'm like, let's plan for the week and we buy meals for the week. And then when it gets to Tuesday you're like should we go Nando's and then again on Thursday. So like we've got too many meals and not enough days.

00:13:27:24 - 00:13:34:06
Speaker 1
So what you're saying is if I wasn't here do you think you'd be cooking more regularly at home. And like.

00:13:34:08 - 00:13:46:03
Speaker 3
I think I'd be cooking. I think I'd be putting lasagna in the oven and stuff. That's cooking. Sort of cooking. Yeah. I don't think either of us are very good at this because we do have some food waste.

00:13:46:05 - 00:13:57:10
Speaker 2
I yeah. On the topic of food waste, rock sounds like she wastes less food. And if you have enough snacks in a day, I would say that classes is meals. It goes beyond the realm of snacks and crosses into.

00:13:57:16 - 00:13:59:02
Speaker 3
That is a sympathy point.

00:13:59:03 - 00:14:00:04
Speaker 2
If I think.

00:14:00:04 - 00:14:06:14
Speaker 1
It is like because I know how I work, so I shop to make it easy for me.

00:14:06:16 - 00:14:08:17
Speaker 2
Yeah, that's an accommodation.

00:14:08:19 - 00:14:09:19
Speaker 3

00:14:09:21 - 00:14:10:24
Speaker 1
What's the score?

00:14:11:01 - 00:14:11:10
Speaker 2
Five.

00:14:11:11 - 00:14:17:04
Speaker 1
Two. Thank you. Okay. Number nine.

00:14:17:06 - 00:14:19:06
Speaker 3
Go on.

00:14:19:08 - 00:14:21:15
Speaker 1
When you leave the house.

00:14:21:17 - 00:14:22:22
Speaker 3
Yeah.

00:14:22:24 - 00:14:29:06
Speaker 1
Can you do it without a mad panic for keys, phone, bag or other items?

00:14:29:08 - 00:14:34:15
Speaker 3
Yes, yes, I can, and do.

00:14:34:16 - 00:14:38:15
Speaker 1
Well, I don't have keys.

00:14:38:17 - 00:14:39:09
Speaker 3
That's true.

00:14:39:14 - 00:14:46:23
Speaker 1
I have many multiple bags, so my bag finding is a joyful experience trying to match my outfit.

00:14:47:00 - 00:14:55:24
Speaker 3
Yeah, unless there's something in one of them that you don't know which one it's in, like your sunglasses or whatever. Or EarPods.

00:14:56:01 - 00:14:56:17
Speaker 2

00:14:56:19 - 00:15:00:12
Speaker 1
Phone.

00:15:00:14 - 00:15:01:12
Speaker 3
What are you saying about you.

00:15:01:16 - 00:15:09:18
Speaker 1
I, I lose. Yeah I often when I leave the house I'm quite stressed. Yeah. So.

00:15:09:20 - 00:15:10:02
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00:15:10:02 - 00:15:10:21
Speaker 3
Yeah.

00:15:10:23 - 00:15:12:05
Speaker 2
Takes two.

00:15:12:07 - 00:15:22:12
Speaker 3
Sorry babes. Oh. Oh one for you I believe. Oh. If plans change can you just go with the flow?

00:15:22:14 - 00:15:31:19
Speaker 1
Oh, wow. Yes. I'm so functional. I just flow in and out. In fact, I love a little changing of the plans, like. Let's go.

00:15:31:21 - 00:15:32:04
Speaker 3
No.

00:15:32:04 - 00:15:38:01
Speaker 1
Spontaneous. I can't know, like you will freak. But now I think it's unfair because that's just autism.

00:15:38:02 - 00:15:46:07
Speaker 3
Yeah, but most of this other. Stuff that I've won. The point is, because of your ADHD, let's be real. So like you get to.

00:15:46:13 - 00:15:51:10
Speaker 1
So I should take it. It. No. Yeah. I should use an abuse.

00:15:51:12 - 00:15:54:12
Speaker 2
Is that an adulting thing? Being able to go with the flow?

00:15:54:13 - 00:16:06:11
Speaker 1
I think so, because it's like just being able to, like, live in a world where sometimes plans change. Like you have to open mouth, not shut down. Like. But I feel bad saying that.

00:16:06:13 - 00:16:10:07
Speaker 2
I think it's good for the game. It's three. I like it.

00:16:10:09 - 00:16:11:01
Speaker 1
What's the score?

00:16:11:02 - 00:16:11:22
Speaker 2
Six. Three.

00:16:12:00 - 00:16:16:06
Speaker 3
Wait, how is it? Six, three. If we've done ten oh points. Yeah.

00:16:16:08 - 00:16:42:02
Speaker 1
Okay, before we go on to the next one, I'm going to talk about our wonderful sponsor for a second. If you are in your divergence, you will understand what I mean when I say the world can sometimes just be a little bit too loud. We are so lucky on this podcast to be sponsored by the Amazing Loop Earplugs, which is literally one of our favorite brands that we use pretty much every day.

00:16:42:02 - 00:17:03:16
Speaker 1
They help you whether you're on a train, going to a concert, going to restaurant, they've got loads of different loop earplugs for kind of blocking out the sound. You can still always hear and interact with people as much as you want to. We have got a website with loop earplugs, where every single one of our late bloomers listeners gets 20% off.

00:17:03:18 - 00:17:12:20
Speaker 1
You can get that 20% off by using the link in our show notes or in any of our social media bios. Right. You ready for number 11?

00:17:12:24 - 00:17:13:22
Speaker 3
Yeah.

00:17:13:24 - 00:17:25:06
Speaker 1
Oh, wow. This is the tide is actually changed. Can you easily attend social gatherings and partake in small talk?

00:17:25:08 - 00:17:30:16
Speaker 3
No. What you done that you haven't.

00:17:30:18 - 00:17:48:01
Speaker 1
I haven't. This was literally like finding obviously we've created the test, but like, this was like signs of functional adulthood. Like to go and hang out with people and to have a conversation like, I might not like it, but I can walk into any room, have a chat with like anyone.

00:17:48:05 - 00:17:48:15
Speaker 3

00:17:48:17 - 00:17:53:21
Speaker 1
And that's an adult thing because it means you can meet people, you can network, you can be polite.

00:17:53:21 - 00:17:58:17
Speaker 3
I'm not arguing, I can't, I hate it, I won't do it, I won't partake.

00:17:58:21 - 00:18:04:08
Speaker 2
I don't know if that's necessarily true. I feel like you're being harsh in yourself. They're a bit.

00:18:04:10 - 00:18:06:17
Speaker 1
Like you'd speak to Max in the corner.

00:18:06:18 - 00:18:09:19
Speaker 3
Max is not. We don't do small talk.

00:18:09:21 - 00:18:11:03
Speaker 2
We just big talk.

00:18:11:04 - 00:18:13:00
Speaker 3
Just big talk. Exactly.

00:18:13:05 - 00:18:20:13
Speaker 2
Know we're talking about your album party. We sat in the corner talking about ranking our favorite Marvel films for 20 minutes.

00:18:20:16 - 00:18:23:02
Speaker 1
I mean, that's like, perfect for you.

00:18:23:03 - 00:18:24:06
Speaker 3
That's a huge topic.

00:18:24:07 - 00:18:26:04
Speaker 1
Nerd talk. Okay.

00:18:26:06 - 00:18:29:09
Speaker 3
But I think for strangers, I would struggle a bit.

00:18:29:10 - 00:18:33:14
Speaker 2
Yeah, yeah, I'll give you that rock. So that's six four, right?

00:18:33:18 - 00:18:40:09
Speaker 3
Number 12. Can you tell when someone else is bored, annoyed or sad easily?

00:18:40:11 - 00:18:53:15
Speaker 1
So easily? I think that I'm really good at emotional intelligence, reading other people and knowing whether to stop talking or engage or give them a like. Yes.

00:18:53:17 - 00:19:01:22
Speaker 3
So I, I would admit that you are better than me at this, but I don't think I'm terrible at it.

00:19:01:24 - 00:19:03:03
Speaker 2
So that that's six.

00:19:03:03 - 00:19:04:11
Speaker 3
Five I can, I can.

00:19:04:12 - 00:19:05:22
Speaker 2
What a comeback.

00:19:05:24 - 00:19:07:19
Speaker 3
Come on. They call it a comeback.

00:19:07:20 - 00:19:11:08
Speaker 1
Come on. Are 13.

00:19:11:12 - 00:19:12:13
Speaker 2

00:19:12:15 - 00:19:18:23
Speaker 1
If someone says to you we should get dinner sometime. How do you feel?

00:19:19:00 - 00:19:35:09
Speaker 3
It depends who it is. No it is now. Now I think maybe the question is I would be like sure let's get a date in and then get our diaries out and then book it like I'm thinking Joey and Danny like people. So I.

00:19:35:11 - 00:19:45:12
Speaker 1
People that you like who say we should get dinner. You'd go cool, let's calendar now, let's book it. Whereas for me it would be like. Sure. And then it would just fumble away into the atmosphere.

00:19:45:14 - 00:19:51:05
Speaker 3
So dinner would never happen or it might. And then you might have to cancel out. Like.

00:19:51:10 - 00:19:58:03
Speaker 1
How do you feel? I kind of feel like yeah, sure. In the moment, but I wouldn't book it in. You go to book it in which I feel.

00:19:58:08 - 00:20:04:20
Speaker 3
Yeah, you don't. And then what you end up doing is, is maybe meeting a friend sometimes when you've got other plans.

00:20:04:21 - 00:20:05:01
Speaker 1
Yeah.

00:20:05:02 - 00:20:06:20
Speaker 3
Double booking and then having to cancel.

00:20:06:21 - 00:20:11:07
Speaker 1
I feel like I honestly feel like I'm happy to concede.

00:20:11:09 - 00:20:13:15
Speaker 2
Yeah. That's that's fair. Seven five.

00:20:13:16 - 00:20:17:08
Speaker 3
Just for everyone. We had plans tonight and rocks canceled.

00:20:17:10 - 00:20:18:03
Speaker 2
Furious.

00:20:18:03 - 00:20:20:11
Speaker 3
So.

00:20:20:13 - 00:20:28:00
Speaker 3
There you go. Number 14. Can you receive a text and reply in a timely fashion?

00:20:28:03 - 00:20:28:23
Speaker 2
Or that.

00:20:28:23 - 00:20:30:11
Speaker 3
Tide is turning back.

00:20:30:12 - 00:20:32:03
Speaker 1
I can.

00:20:32:05 - 00:20:34:23
Speaker 3
Oh, come on, come.

00:20:34:24 - 00:20:39:21
Speaker 1
Look, I physically yeah. Do you know just.

00:20:39:23 - 00:20:41:12
Speaker 3
Oh stop it.

00:20:41:13 - 00:20:46:01
Speaker 2
I will say you've got a lot better at it. I've noticed this. Thank you.

00:20:46:05 - 00:20:52:18
Speaker 3
How many? Get your phone. How many unread messages have you got on WhatsApp? Just what is the big bubble say?

00:20:52:20 - 00:20:54:02
Speaker 1
It's not unread.

00:20:54:04 - 00:20:57:04
Speaker 2
In a work situation. That's not right.

00:20:57:06 - 00:21:05:24
Speaker 1
I've made a conscious effort. By the way. Therapies also helped for work to go back. There is no bubble, it's just a play.

00:21:06:01 - 00:21:09:09
Speaker 3
What? Have you disabled it or something?

00:21:09:11 - 00:21:11:24
Speaker 1
Where would it say the bubble.

00:21:12:01 - 00:21:16:02
Speaker 3
Well you can't have you can't have none. Or is it just match three.

00:21:16:07 - 00:21:19:07
Speaker 1
Is it 350. Is it that 350.

00:21:19:09 - 00:21:25:08
Speaker 3
Oh that's unread. You've got 350 unread messages on 350 chats.

00:21:25:08 - 00:21:33:04
Speaker 1
And then there's my archive where when it's just gone too long, I just so I don't have to look at it.

00:21:33:06 - 00:21:40:18
Speaker 3
My chats is 34 and most of them are groups I'm not interested in.

00:21:40:20 - 00:21:48:02
Speaker 2
But that doesn't mean that you're you could just be ignoring people. You can just open the message and ignore it. And you wouldn't have.

00:21:48:04 - 00:21:50:12
Speaker 1
A you replying because like, you're not as.

00:21:50:12 - 00:21:55:06
Speaker 3
Good as that's different. If I get a message and I'm like, I don't even intend to reply to that.

00:21:55:07 - 00:22:02:13
Speaker 1
You're not as good as like Auntie Claire at replying, she would message, she'll check it. You're often not go back.

00:22:02:15 - 00:22:17:18
Speaker 3
Yeah, but that's just that's a choice. I what I won't do is be like, oh, I need to go back to that and then stress myself out about the fact that I haven't gone back. I would just reply, I don't think either of us are brilliant at messaging back, to be honest.

00:22:17:19 - 00:22:19:12
Speaker 2
Who wants the point? I don't really know.

00:22:19:13 - 00:22:19:21
Speaker 3
I think.

00:22:20:01 - 00:22:20:07
Speaker 1
I, I.

00:22:20:08 - 00:22:21:13
Speaker 3
Can't have that point.

00:22:21:19 - 00:22:23:10
Speaker 1
Wow. Okay.

00:22:23:12 - 00:22:24:20
Speaker 3
No points nil.

00:22:24:24 - 00:22:28:03
Speaker 2
What remains seven five.

00:22:28:05 - 00:22:34:21
Speaker 1
Could you enjoy a totally unstructured weekend free time?

00:22:34:23 - 00:22:37:00
Speaker 3
Yeah.

00:22:37:02 - 00:22:45:17
Speaker 1
Me too. Yeah. And we're just vibe. We'd just be like, yeah, on the golf course. Like if I had an or is that structure if I was like, can we play golf. Is that the instruction.

00:22:45:18 - 00:22:50:08
Speaker 3
That's not structured? Because you would say that in the moment if I have, yeah, I can absolutely.

00:22:50:09 - 00:22:56:03
Speaker 1
Do so. We can just vibe. So you don't mind. No plan. You just don't like a changing plan.

00:22:56:04 - 00:22:56:18
Speaker 3
Yeah.

00:22:56:20 - 00:22:59:12
Speaker 1
Unstructured time. We're just like vibing.

00:22:59:12 - 00:23:01:17
Speaker 3
Well, that's like a plan to have no plans.

00:23:01:19 - 00:23:14:14
Speaker 2
You made a video about it the other day, didn't you? Did I dig? Yeah. How about how when you say you're doing nothing? Yeah. I mean, that's my plan is to do nothing. Yeah, I like that. That's the point there.

00:23:14:16 - 00:23:35:22
Speaker 3
But that's different. I plan to do nothing. Then I'm doing nothing. If I have no plans, then I am open to go and play golf or whatever. That's different, right? Nothing is an activity. Okay. Number 16, do you know when mo insurance passports are going to expire?

00:23:35:24 - 00:23:44:11
Speaker 1
Oh, so I don't have a car like MIT. Doesn't count insurance for the house?

00:23:44:13 - 00:23:47:10
Speaker 1
No. Passport? Yep.

00:23:47:12 - 00:23:48:07
Speaker 3
When?

00:23:48:09 - 00:23:49:17
Speaker 2
Yes.

00:23:49:19 - 00:23:57:06
Speaker 1
So I got a new passport quite recently. And passports last ten years. Yeah. So,

00:23:57:08 - 00:24:05:24
Speaker 1
I think my passport expires in June.

00:24:06:01 - 00:24:09:13
Speaker 1
2035.

00:24:09:15 - 00:24:10:20
Speaker 3
No.

00:24:10:22 - 00:24:12:16
Speaker 1
Do you know when mine expires?

00:24:12:17 - 00:24:13:02
Speaker 3
Yeah.

00:24:13:06 - 00:24:14:12
Speaker 1
How do you know that?

00:24:14:16 - 00:24:25:08
Speaker 3
Because I got your passport for you. Because it was coming up for a renewal, and it was just before you went to Dublin. Yeah. So it's like 2031, 2032.

00:24:25:10 - 00:24:27:17
Speaker 1
When's your MLT. You.

00:24:27:19 - 00:24:33:08
Speaker 3
It's my car doesn't it's got like two and a half years left before it needs an MIT.

00:24:33:09 - 00:24:36:08
Speaker 1
When's your insurance due?

00:24:36:10 - 00:24:39:05
Speaker 3
14th of August next year.

00:24:39:07 - 00:24:41:08
Speaker 1
When's your passport renewing.

00:24:41:12 - 00:24:43:14
Speaker 3
2033.

00:24:43:16 - 00:24:51:02
Speaker 2
That's just that's such a boring adulting thing. Like, it provides no benefit to know those things. I mean.

00:24:51:04 - 00:24:54:07
Speaker 3
You can go on holiday without getting turned away at the.

00:24:54:07 - 00:24:55:15
Speaker 1
Airport, which has happened to me.

00:24:55:16 - 00:24:57:00
Speaker 2
And you don't live the year.

00:24:57:01 - 00:25:03:01
Speaker 3
And you don't lose your driving license or whatever, or get fined because you've got a valid MIT and insurance.

00:25:03:07 - 00:25:03:22
Speaker 1
He's right.

00:25:03:23 - 00:25:05:01
Speaker 2
Next. All right. You can have it.

00:25:05:01 - 00:25:09:04
Speaker 3
There might be boring, but it's necessary, right?

00:25:09:06 - 00:25:12:21
Speaker 2
Nine. Six. That one rocks.

00:25:12:23 - 00:25:24:15
Speaker 1
If something breaks in your home, could you easily find and book the correct tradesperson and arrange a date and be there to let them in?

00:25:24:17 - 00:25:26:08
Speaker 2
Yes.

00:25:26:10 - 00:25:27:16
Speaker 3
How about you?

00:25:27:18 - 00:25:29:14
Speaker 2
I think you could do that.

00:25:29:16 - 00:25:30:10
Speaker 3
Do you?

00:25:30:12 - 00:25:31:08
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00:25:31:10 - 00:25:40:13
Speaker 3
What was. When was the last time something went wrong with the house? I think it was maybe when you flooded the the kitchen.

00:25:40:15 - 00:25:41:20
Speaker 1
I've done that a few times.

00:25:41:21 - 00:25:42:20
Speaker 3
Yeah.

00:25:42:22 - 00:25:54:14
Speaker 2
Well, for example, there's doing a bit of work in your garden if you lived here on your own and you're like, oh, I'd like to have a patio redone. Could you go on Google and search patio man.

00:25:54:19 - 00:25:56:08
Speaker 3
Not to. She could search.

00:25:56:11 - 00:26:14:01
Speaker 1
I could, I could search it for hours and hours and hours and then get trapped in like comparison. And then I wouldn't be able to book it online. I'd have to phone. So I'm out. And even if I phoned and booked it, I'd be double booking the wrong date. And then even if I booked the right date and was in, I wouldn't answer the door.

00:26:14:02 - 00:26:20:08
Speaker 3
But in fairness, that's why we are a good team. Because she sources the companies and I actually booked them in.

00:26:20:08 - 00:26:30:15
Speaker 1
I find the dentist and you put the appointment. It's a similar thing, but I'm happy to I'm happy to like, no, I'm not a tradesperson person.

00:26:30:17 - 00:26:38:10
Speaker 3
And and what's more likely to happen is if I'm not here when they're arriving. But rocks is. She just won't answer the door.

00:26:38:12 - 00:26:40:02
Speaker 1
Yeah.

00:26:40:04 - 00:26:42:13
Speaker 3
Same with mail getting delivered.

00:26:42:15 - 00:26:48:08
Speaker 1
I used to be quite good if I got locked out at calling a local locksmith.

00:26:48:08 - 00:26:51:14
Speaker 3
I guess that's that's in a real emergency, right?

00:26:51:16 - 00:26:53:06
Speaker 2
That's kind of what we're talking about.

00:26:53:07 - 00:26:54:00
Speaker 3
I don't think.

00:26:54:04 - 00:26:59:21
Speaker 2
I think trying to get you anything. It's working. Okay. Ten. Six.

00:27:00:01 - 00:27:00:11
Speaker 1
Okay.

00:27:00:13 - 00:27:07:06
Speaker 3
Right. Number 18. I think that's it now, isn't it? I can't lose.

00:27:07:08 - 00:27:10:19
Speaker 2
This one's worth double points. Oh. Is it.

00:27:10:21 - 00:27:12:09
Speaker 3
However many that's needed.

00:27:12:10 - 00:27:14:08
Speaker 1
That's it. Max, keep it exciting.

00:27:14:09 - 00:27:24:18
Speaker 3
God, you can tell he's favorite. He is. Come on. Number 18. Do you regularly go to the supermarket and buy only what is on your list? No.

00:27:24:20 - 00:27:42:16
Speaker 1
I like to go to market. I'm not interested. In fact, in what's on my list. I want to go the home where I'll. If they've got one. I want to smell candles. I want to find clothes. I want to look at the shoes. I want to see just the bits and bobs. Like if they got a tent or what do you need?

00:27:42:18 - 00:27:54:14
Speaker 1
Swims. But I don't know. But like, I love seeing unique things. I love making it an experience. I might discover a new deodorant flavor or like a body spray. I love spraying like.

00:27:54:19 - 00:28:02:13
Speaker 3
You're so passionate about this. Answer. Do you do you believe that's good adulting? You're like so enthusiastic about this answer.

00:28:02:17 - 00:28:05:13
Speaker 2
I do. I think it improves other areas of your life.

00:28:05:14 - 00:28:08:07
Speaker 3
Oh my God, look at it. This is an actual.

00:28:08:13 - 00:28:09:16
Speaker 1
What about you?

00:28:09:18 - 00:28:12:14
Speaker 3
Yeah, I only buy what's on the list. Yes, you're with me.

00:28:12:15 - 00:28:16:07
Speaker 1
I think it is. Can you go with the shopping list? And by any. What?

00:28:16:09 - 00:28:18:04
Speaker 2
Would you put a candle on your shopping list?

00:28:18:04 - 00:28:18:12
Speaker 3
No.

00:28:18:14 - 00:28:22:22
Speaker 2
Well, that's a nice thing to have around the house. You wouldn't get that if you just went to the shop.

00:28:23:03 - 00:28:27:02
Speaker 3
Also not necessary for adulting. Whereas milk and bread.

00:28:27:03 - 00:28:27:08
Speaker 1
Yeah.

00:28:27:09 - 00:28:27:20
Speaker 3
I'm not.

00:28:28:00 - 00:28:30:02
Speaker 1
Like milk toilet roll butter.

00:28:30:03 - 00:28:37:15
Speaker 2
Like I'm in the wrong place for this because I often go to the shop and just buy the additional things without anything. That means.

00:28:37:15 - 00:28:44:20
Speaker 1
You are a bad adult like me. You can't twist the results. Even I'm saying that's Rich's point.

00:28:44:22 - 00:28:50:08
Speaker 2
I'm not happy about it. But if you want to give Rich the point, that's fine. 116.

00:28:50:09 - 00:28:51:08
Speaker 1
Oh, Lord.

00:28:51:13 - 00:28:52:11
Speaker 2
It's neck and neck.

00:28:52:12 - 00:29:05:20
Speaker 1
Neck, neck. On to 19. When someone that you love and are close to is upset, can you work out what they need from you?

00:29:05:22 - 00:29:10:23
Speaker 3
No.

00:29:11:00 - 00:29:12:03
Speaker 2
Unless you just tell you. Right.

00:29:12:04 - 00:29:19:10
Speaker 1
Yeah. I'm really glad that you. Yeah. Like. Yeah, it can confer all you a bit. I don't want to shame you because it's.

00:29:19:13 - 00:29:21:05
Speaker 3
Yeah.

00:29:21:07 - 00:29:26:00
Speaker 1
You're not sure. And it can sometimes be a surprise even if someone is upset.

00:29:26:02 - 00:29:28:00
Speaker 3
Yeah.

00:29:28:02 - 00:29:34:07
Speaker 2
Say I, this is where I'm in the middle of you guys because I'm the same. If you've got a problem, just tell me and I can sort it out.

00:29:34:09 - 00:29:47:18
Speaker 1
Yeah. Whereas I think for me, I can tell I like I'm would be attuned to. I'm just thinking of the kids, the little shoulders dropping, the little mouth, like those micro movements that are like this. This.

00:29:47:20 - 00:29:51:10
Speaker 3
What about me?

00:29:51:12 - 00:30:06:13
Speaker 1
So can I tell in you're upset. Yeah. Because when you're upset, which isn't like, very often, you get kind of angry, you get annoyed. And I can tell those because those often external emotions, like when you're driving a car and things.

00:30:06:14 - 00:30:07:00
Speaker 3
Yeah.

00:30:07:03 - 00:30:19:14
Speaker 1
But upset for you, you would be be visibly like you would have a little cry or you'd be bit low, I could tell, I'll give you a cuddle.

00:30:19:16 - 00:30:23:08
Speaker 3
I can tell if you're crying that you're up.

00:30:23:10 - 00:30:29:22
Speaker 1
On the Richter scale, like I have to get to crying. And then it's like, oh, Bobby. Okay, like all those the bits that come before.

00:30:29:24 - 00:30:40:05
Speaker 2
I think the other thing is I. You can recognize the emotion or the fact that someone's not behaving as themselves, but knowing what to do to resolve that issue. That's.

00:30:40:10 - 00:30:43:10
Speaker 1
Yeah. And it's what to do, how to show up for them.

00:30:43:16 - 00:30:52:01
Speaker 2
So that's that's a rock's point. That's 117. And this last one is worth five points. Good. As they're doing all good quiz show. Come on.

00:30:52:03 - 00:31:09:12
Speaker 3
Okay. Last one. Oh this is actually all right 166. It is. But if your partner disappeared for one month could you keep the house, finances, food, appointments, pets, work and your self functioning.

00:31:09:14 - 00:31:10:12
Speaker 2
Should call it a day.

00:31:10:12 - 00:31:16:19
Speaker 1
Then go through the list. I guess it's a point. Power of one house? Nope.

00:31:16:23 - 00:31:20:20
Speaker 3
Food. I know there was. Yeah, food.

00:31:20:22 - 00:31:22:00
Speaker 1
When you say keep the food.

00:31:22:00 - 00:31:23:22
Speaker 3
Functions, you'd be able to be alive.

00:31:23:24 - 00:31:26:05
Speaker 1
I'd order my apple and.

00:31:26:07 - 00:31:37:19
Speaker 3
You'd order it and you you'd you'd pay double what it actually costs you because you Uber eats it. Finances.

00:31:37:21 - 00:31:40:20
Speaker 3
No point. Mints, no pets.

00:31:40:22 - 00:31:45:07
Speaker 1
I'd keep rocket alive. It would be like me and rocket surviving.

00:31:45:09 - 00:31:48:11
Speaker 2
For the 27 hours.

00:31:48:13 - 00:31:53:14
Speaker 3
Work? Yeah, you'd be all right.

00:31:53:16 - 00:31:55:02
Speaker 1
Yeah.

00:31:55:04 - 00:31:56:13
Speaker 3
And yourself?

00:31:56:15 - 00:31:58:12
Speaker 1
Yeah. What about you?

00:31:58:14 - 00:32:02:22
Speaker 3
Yeah. Oh, fine. All of them? Yeah. Pretty be easier.

00:32:02:23 - 00:32:05:04
Speaker 2
I actually have a thing to say on that.

00:32:05:05 - 00:32:08:03
Speaker 3
No. Come on, Max, stop this nonsense.

00:32:08:04 - 00:32:09:13
Speaker 2
Let's talk about work.

00:32:09:16 - 00:32:10:09
Speaker 3
Yeah.

00:32:10:11 - 00:32:18:10
Speaker 2
Creatively, rocks is the powerhouse of this dynamic. How are you? How are you dealing with that? How are you coming up with all of your ideas?

00:32:18:11 - 00:32:26:05
Speaker 3
And that's a fallacy. Like, for video ideas and stuff like that, I think I'm. I'm completely fine.

00:32:26:10 - 00:32:30:12
Speaker 1
Yeah, he's he's very independent. He's learned quickly and so.

00:32:30:13 - 00:32:32:18
Speaker 2
I can see it.

00:32:32:20 - 00:32:36:08
Speaker 1
So final score. Don't give six. Just give one.

00:32:36:08 - 00:32:37:06
Speaker 2
Just one. Yeah.

00:32:37:08 - 00:32:41:07
Speaker 3
Oh right. So it's worth five of you.

00:32:41:09 - 00:32:45:00
Speaker 2
Know let's do it. It's 167.

00:32:45:02 - 00:32:47:07
Speaker 1
167. It was a good race.

00:32:47:13 - 00:32:48:11
Speaker 3
Was a good race.

00:32:48:11 - 00:32:55:00
Speaker 1
So on that scale which isn't accurate, you would be more of a functional adult than me.

00:32:55:01 - 00:32:59:16
Speaker 2
Well the actual score was 127. So it's it's not that far off double.

00:32:59:16 - 00:33:06:01
Speaker 3
What do you mean on that. Oh the the the the scoring is the accurate, right. Yeah. Okay.

00:33:06:03 - 00:33:21:18
Speaker 1
What did you guys get I hope you're counting. If not, go back and watch again. Are you a functional adult? Did anybody get less points than me? Let me know in the comments. And did anybody beat Rich? Please let him know in the comments.

00:33:21:20 - 00:33:23:11
Speaker 3
See you next week.
