- Hi we're Joel and Lia.
-
- And today is another episode of
-
Ask yourself,
-
which is our series where Joel and Lia go deep.
-
- Yeah.
-
- So,
-
(laughing)
-
It feels weird saying that.
-
- I've got itchy nose.
-
- Itchy mitchy.
-
- Itchy mitchy.
-
And yes, if you've noticed my voice is weird,
-
it's caused I've got acute briconters, broconters,
-
- Bronchitis!
-
What is broconters?
-
- Briconters
-
(laughing)
-
I've got broconters. I've got bronchitis.
-
- You're such a prince.
-
Joel in his Disney prince cottage in the Cotsworld,
-
being like, I've got acute bicohonters.
-
- Bicohonters. I've got acute pocahontas.
-
- That's so sweet.
-
- Anyway, I've got acute bronchitis so that's that.
-
- Yeah, when you go to the doctors next week,
-
please say it wrong,
-
- Yeah, I will.
-
- That will be amazing.
-
- I've diagnosed myself with pocahontas.
-
- Then just do a little cough.
-
For anyone who saw the last episode of this,
-
we finish every episode with the first question from
-
this episode. So,
-
- Which was,
-
- Do you prefer being around men or women?
-
Do your closest friends tend to be men or women
-
so is that all in one go?
-
- Interesting.
-
- Well, what do you think?
-
- I prefer being around
-
men, I think.
-
- Really?
-
- I have a few female friends and I treasure them like
-
when I find a female that gets on , we get on with each
-
other really well, finding each other really funny,
-
it's just like winner winner, chicken dinner. But,
-
I just don't really have many.
-
- No?
-
- No. I've got, I got female cousins, and family members
-
that I love being around but in general,
-
I'd say most of my friends are men.
-
- Yeah, yeah?
-
It's interesting I think it might, it could be our
-
generation as well because most of my close friends
-
are girls.
-
And again, when you meet a guy, someone of the same
-
sex as you that you get along with so well is like
-
amazing and you can't replace those relationships, but
-
there's something being around women,
-
I just find it more relaxing, like if you've put me in
-
a room with loads of women, I'll be like,
-
they're all gonna love me within like 5 minutes,
-
like they're gonna love me.
-
Whereas if you've put me in a room full of men
-
for 5 minutes, I'm like, they're all gonna hate me.
-
They're literally all gonna hate me.
-
- And I think that because that is an ingrained thing
-
in your mind, you now believe that that is what's true
-
moving forward.
-
And I kind of have left my, in the same for me, as well,
-
I'm like, me and women, like I just don't have many
-
female friends and that's why I don't have any
-
many more female friends cause I've said it to myself
-
so many times.
-
- Exactly, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy
-
all the time.
-
I think also for me being bullied at school,
-
it was always by the boys and a few girls,
-
but mainly boys so then I'm just always like,
-
yeah, they're just gonna hate me and they're just
-
gonna bully me so.
-
- It makes so much sense like, of course that,
-
that because that has happened, you're like, you know,
-
closer with girls.
-
- But you know what? It used to really bother me,
-
I was like, why do I have so many friends are girls
-
and not guys, but actually now, I'm just like,
-
I don't care like, I don't care if they're boy, girl,
-
whatever you're identified with, I'm like,
-
as long as I like you and you're a nice person
-
and you make me laugh, that's fine.
-
- That is so true, love that.
-
Okay, I think I wanna skip the next one,
-
- Okay, shall I read the next one?
-
- Yeah you go on
-
- So we'll skip that one.
-
Oh, okay, this is a long one so buckle up.
-
- Okay.
-
- Right, while on a trip to another city your spouse
-
or lover
-
whether you put a ring on it or not.
-
- In brackets, or lover.
-
- Meets and spends the night with an exciting stranger.
-
Given that they will never meet again
-
and that you will not otherwise learn of the incident,
-
would you want your partner to tell you about it,
-
and it roles were reversed, would you reveal what you
-
have done?
-
- Oh my gosh.
-
- I wanna know it all, I think I'd wanna know. Wouldn't you?
-
- I wouldn't wanna know.
-
- You wouldn't?
-
- Not want to know, no, I don't wanna know.
-
- So yeah your partner might never see those people again,
-
- Yeah.
-
- But it says something about their personality and
-
their character the fact that they cheated on you.
-
- Yeah, and I think that, that's their issue,
-
that's their problem that they cheated on me.
-
- Yeah, but do you still wanna be around them for
-
doing that? You still wanna keep someone in your life
-
that did that to you?
-
- I think if, maybe this is really controversial,
-
but I think if they were to deal with their own
-
fears, anxieties and whatever they like have to deal with
-
because they did that,
-
then I'll be willing to stay with them if they were to
-
willing to like learn from it, be a better person,
-
- Yeah, but you don't know any of this.
-
- I know, I think that's also me protecting myself from it,
-
like if they were to do it, and then like, how would I know?
-
Great, I think like ignorance is bliss.
-
I'd rather not know.
-
- I'd rather the bliss was ruined and that relationship
-
ended and then move on with someone else,
-
I just think it's unforgivable.
-
I would never, ever forgive anyone that ever cheated
-
on me.
-
- That's good, yeah, I mean. I think I would, but,
-
I don't think,
-
I'm not saying I have like a partner that would,
-
I really, really, really trust who I'm with but
-
if it was to happen, I just wouldn't wanna know,
-
I know it would bother me,
-
I think it would damage me so, so much,
-
but if I was to know, I would obviously end it.
-
But I think if I wanted to stay in something and have it
-
like a strong forever, I would rather not know.
-
How funny that we're just, I just would rather not know,
-
but I would want that person to go and deal with their,
-
do you know what I mean, I look after my half,
-
you look after your half.
-
Together we're great but you've done something
-
and you've messed up,
-
- Yeah
-
- I'd rather not know.
-
- Wow, interesting. Would you tell if you'd done it?
-
Would you tell or would you keep a secret?
-
- Yeah, I would tell because I think if it was my beef,
-
I'd have to end that relationship.
-
- See I think, we're completely different,
-
cause now I think I would probably keep it a secret,
-
after what I've said like, I'll never forgive anyone,
-
I'll be like, I'll just keep it a secret.
-
If I'm never gonna see them ever again, and I'm like,
-
I don't wanna ruin what I've got,
-
I'd probably would just be like,
-
I'm not gonna say anything, which is really hypocritical.
-
- You know it's true though because I see where you're
-
coming from because what good will it do to that person
-
to know?
-
Like what good would I do to my partner to inflict this
-
information on them that's gonna probably ruin their life.
-
- I know.
-
- If they were that into me.
-
- Yeah.
-
- It's so tough, what do you guys think? Let us know.

- Okay, are there people you envy enough to want to
-
trade lives with them? Who are they?
-
Are there people you envy enough to want to trade
-
lives with them?
-
- Definitely people I envy and like I'm jealous of
-
what they've got in their life and but,
-
yeah I'd never wanna trade lives because I'd wanna
-
be me in their position, I wouldn't ever wanna just
-
be them.
-
- Yeah, I agree.
-
There's only one Joel Wood, and that's you.
-
There's only one, there's only one person with these
-
fingerprints and that's me.
-
- And that's me.
-
- Yeah, and I also like, I think a lot of envy or
-
jealousy comes from like, other people's achievements
-
or other people stuff that they've like smashed it,
-
but surely so much of that is from experiencing it
-
yourself.
-
Do you know what I mean? Like so much like that you gave
-
from that.
-
- That you've worked from it rather than just being
-
given it.
-
- Yeah. Imagine just swapping lives I mean like,
-
Ah, this is amazing like I fly, I'm in a private jet.
-
- Yeah, no exactly.
-
- It's not gonna be fun is it?
-
- Right next one, okay. Sorry, this is really funny.
-
- What is it?
-
- For an all-expense paid one week vacation anywhere
-
in the world, would you be willing to kill a beautiful
-
butterfly by pulling off its wings, what about stepping
-
on a cockroach?
-
Absolutely, of course. I'm sorry butterfly and cockroach
-
but yeah, I would.
-
- That is hilarious.
-
- Isn't that funny?
-
- I mean obviously like when you get the butterfly in
-
your hand, you're gonna be like, oh it's so pretty,
-
like you don't really wanna pull its wings off
-
- But then I'd be, all-expenses holiday
-
- All-expenses, bye.
-
- I've already done that, I know I'm a horrible human
-
being, loads of you are probably gonna unsubscribe
-
because I'm admitting to this, but when I was a child,
-
I used to love catching those flying daddy long legs,
-
you know the ones that are flying spiders almost,
-
I don't know if you call them the same thing,
-
and I used to catch them, pull of their wings,
-
pull off each leg and just leave them as a wriggling
-
body.
-
Awful, isn't that awful?
-
- I can't believe you were one of those kids,
-
only the bullies in my school did that and you aren't
-
a bully.
-
- I've never hurt any animals but insects,
-
I was just like, you deserve to die.
-
Apart from wood lice, I love wood lice.
-
- That's so bizaare.
-
- Isn't it weird? It's so horrible.
-
- Don't like you, you're a spider, you deserve no legs.
-
- Oh I hate spiders.
-
- Okay would you be willing to murder an innocent person
-
if it would end hunger in the world?
-
The classic like
-
- Which is never gonna happen, so why are we discussing it?
-
I don't think I would, I'd feel really guilty.
-
- You can't imagine
-
- Imagine the guilt you'll live with,
