"So. But it happened, and I don't think it's set well with a lot of talent. I didn't understand. The DX getting put over by the radicals. At the right place at the right time, I'm all for. Anybody can win anybody can lose as far the allure and the magic of pro wrestling. Or should be. But I don't know, man. I just thought it was way premature. And there is upward scrambling around for, you know, some quick fixes, and I'm not sure what was broken. And as we sit here and talk about it today, obviously no, the storylines and everything played out and went fine. The guys got their bill, they became world champions, Benoit Guerrero, and it all worked out. So again, we're just looking at this under a microscope of this time period, but also you have to think JR, we're in the middle of WrestleMania build season time. When you're bringing these four people, you know, these four guys in. So that's got to be a difficult to figure out a way to capitalize on the debut of these four studs while also building to WrestleMania. Is it not? A little bit difficult. It's challenging, just for new talents. And you know, you know you want to use them. Eddie, unfortunately, it was not going to be able to go. But we had the other three. To see how that works out, but also gives you the impact that Eddie Guerrero had on that group in his entirety. I mean, it's hard to say, who was the biggest star in the radicals group? For my money, it was Eddie Guerrero. And not that I didn't like the work of the other guys. I established that I had. I did like it. I have respect for them. But to Eddie was a star of the show. And it just too bad he left us way too soon to fulfill all of his destinies and pro wrestling. Chair, here's another question I have for you realizing the level that WCW is on at this point as far as viewers and ratings and things of that nature. Do you still think? Are you are you a believer that the WWE had to reestablish who these characters were who these guys were with their audience for people to actually know who they were? Of course. Okay. Of course. And that goes for anybody. Establish people need to be reestablished. I know that's oxymoronic, but you're always telling a story. You're always adding new content to the description of these television personas. So absolutely. It's always important. If you're telling a good stories, you got a little back where you got it, there's background that you can do. Well, I've only got the interest to get it in. Well, how long is the entrance? Oh, it's about 30 seconds. What I suggest you do is prepare 30 seconds of content. That describes this individual that we see coming to the ring, so that I have a better familiarity of who this individual is and why I should like him or her. Well, JR Benoit goes on live audio wrestling around this time and talks about the hunter versus Benoit match. And he says, the reason they didn't push the title versus title angles because the WCW title didn't mean anything and had no credibility to start with. He said because of the way they destroyed the belt that it meant nothing for him to win it and said he was disappointed because he never got to feud with Bret Hart or Ric Flair as promised to him many times in WCW and said that he only wrestled two world champions during his tenure in WCW, mentioning those two by name and said he rustled others that had won the belt, but he didn't really consider them world champions. Some guys got knocked big time there. That's just a total burial WCW there, but I mean, listen, Chris is saying what he thinks and what he believes. You got to respect him for his opinion. Talents are better off just being honest. And dropping their nuts if they have them. And becoming and becoming very transparent. Communicate is much better to converse in basic communication. Basic communication is a skill set that's totally lacking a largely lacking and pro wrestling these days. And so I believe that you got to be honest, you've got to be up front and continue to move forward, evaluating where you are every step of the way. So those guys, they were such a joy to be around too. They were having so much fun, except then when Eddie got hurt, then they all got paranoid. Now what's that mean for our Quartet? Well, I ain't a Quartet right now. So it was just interesting scenario poly. Interesting time to be in town relations. Well, buddy, listen, these guys would turn heel and would you agree that was probably the best thing that happened to them was becoming that heel faction? Yeah, probably. Yeah, probably. It almost gave him a fresh start. You know, and I think most wrestlers that I can relate to or talk to or

"Interview, but I hope it helps you understand what teens are going through and most importantly what you can do to be aware and to help them. Parents play an enormous role in helping their kids through depression. I really appreciate you listening today even though it was hard. Let's go over my points to ponder one. If you feel that your child or teen is depressed, ask them, often parents are afraid to broach the subject because they feel that if they talk about depression, this will make it worse for kids or put ideas in their heads. This is absolutely not true. The exact opposite happens. When a child sees that a parent understands him and is willing to help, he feels a sense of relief. Trouble is more likely to come when a parent pretends they don't see it or if they don't want to talk about it. Two, if you're concerned that your child might consider suicide do three things very quickly. First, call us suicide hotline. Second, don't leave your child alone and third take anything in your house that she could use to kill herself out of the house. Nice guns, ropes, et cetera. Look around your house for things she might be able to use. Third, pay close attention to your child's Friends. Sadly, there's a me too influence and suicide in a peculiar way. Kids romanticize suicide. They can see it as a grand gesture. When they see a friend commit suicide, they see the attention that person got, and that he escaped the pain he was in, so in their minds, he was, quote unquote, successful. I know, this doesn't resonate with you and I, but we're talking about kids here. First, look to see if your child hangs around kids who may be depressed. If you don't know, ask your child. Talk openly about depression to your kids to take away the stigma and the shame. And let them know that you're there to help them. I want to thank Emma for having the courage and passion to talk about her own story and to help other kids. She's a brave lady. Follow Emma on Instagram at Benoit, Emma, BEN, OIT, EMMA, and take a look at her documentary. My Ascension dot U.S. forward slash. Now let's recap my three points to ponder one. If you feel your childhood teen is depressed, ask them. Two, if you're concerned that your child might consider suicide, do three things very quickly.

"In the minutes that I was on hold that, like you said, just that spiral of thought, it really came full force. And I remember one of the biggest intrusive thoughts I had was you're going to take away a lot of problem and stress from people's lives. People, meaning my mom, dad, and my coaches. Because I felt like I had just been become such a burden. And so I made the attempt when I was on hold with my mom. And she came back to the line and didn't know anything that had happened, didn't know she'd had no clue. But she said that mother's intuition or a sign and feeling from God, she just knew that something really bad had happened. And so she immediately left work, didn't tell anyone she was leaving in just left and came home to find me. So after that, did your mother take you the emergency room? What did she do? Well, I want to give some context of my injuries and how I attempted. So typically I don't think the method is of importance, but to give context, I think it's important. I used a firearm to attempt suicide. So I shot myself in the chest. And when my mom found me, I was obviously bleeding very heavily and had some pretty intensive wounds and injuries. So immediately I was brought to ICU at the hospital, had to have a surgery to repair my carotid artery. That was completely severed by the bullet, and I suffered several strokes during surgery as well due to the loss of blood in the brain. And so when I left the hospital, I was diagnosed as C four quadriplegic because I suffered a spinal cord injury due to the internal bleeding and the blood clots that had formed on my spinal cord. So my injuries were quite extensive, so I was immediately airlifted to the hospital and spent the next I want to say it was three months four months in the hospital inpatient hospital inpatient rehab, et cetera so as a pediatrician, I have seen two many kids and teens struggle with mental health issues. If they're depressed, I'm straightforward and say, have you thought of killing yourself if they say yes, then I ask, how would you do it? Usually kids who are thinking about suicide

"Parents in this episode we cover a sensitive topic that deals with suicide. And the program is intended for mature audiences only. Have you ever worried about the possibility that your child would consider suicide? Well, if you're like any parent in America, of course you do. Depression, anxiety, have risen in the U.S. and this is an issue that's on all of our minds. Well, that's why I decided to interview a fascinating gal. Her name is Emma Benoit. And my tried and failed to commit suicide and is here to talk about what goes on in the mind of a depressed teen and how parents can help. When Emma attempted suicide and failed, she was a junior in high school. Her story is painful, but it's one that every parent needs to hear. Let's jump into my interview with Emma. Well, Emma, thank you so much for joining me on my podcast today. Your stories remarkable. When you were a junior in high school, you started experience some problems that led up to a suicide attempt before your senior year. Can you take us back to junior year and what was happening in your life or how you were feeling? Yeah, so prior to my high school experience, when I was in elementary and middle school even, I was really insecure, very self conscious, very not self aware, and just very much in my head all the time as a young kid. And growing up with these kind of issues as a young kid not knowing how to express myself, not really understanding my feelings. I grew up thinking that the best way to handle my feelings and the things that bothered me was to push them down and just kind of tuck them away. And so I grew up doing that with myself with my feelings. Anytime something would be bothering me or burdening me or I would have a heavy feeling or a big feeling, I would tuck it away, push it down. And so naturally, as I got older, you know, problems became bigger as I became bigger. And those feelings grew with me. And never really knowing what to do with them. When I got to high school, I was really caught in a state of depression and not really understanding why I felt so bad and why I felt so sad. But looking back in hindsight, it was because of the years worth of not expressing myself, not indulging on my feelings, not being open and expressing my vulnerabilities with people that kind of culminated and led me to feeling so depressed. My junior year of high school. Did you recognize you were depressed? Not at all. I came from an area where mental health was not talked about and furthermore, kind of stigmatized. The idea that I had of depression and what it looked like, did not align with my reality and what my feelings were. So I didn't, I didn't associate my mental and emotional pain with being depression. So you carried a loan. Did your parents have any clues that you were really struggling underneath? There were definitely warning signs looking back in hindsight that went missed. One of the biggest warning signs was the fact that I didn't try out for cheerleading prior to not trying out my senior year cheerleading had been my biggest passion. It was the thing that always brought me joy. I was constantly excited to go to practice. I loved my sport and I loved my team. And I loved being a part of that environment and community. And my depression had gotten so bad that I completely lost the passion and the desire and the drive to participate. So I didn't try out. And looking back, obviously, hindsight, that was definitely a big, big red flag. Another huge red flag that is pretty typical amongst teens and it was very true for myself and my experience is just overall character shifts. I think it's important to kind of know what is baseline based level character behavior for a person and a young person. And I definitely was not acting on my baseline character. I was very easily angered, my tolerance for frustration was extremely low. I was just like a short fuse. And that was not true to my character. Did your parents see that shift too? Did they ask you, hey, why aren't you trying out for cheerleading? They did see some shifts and they did ask me questions as to why I wasn't trying out. But I think coming from an environment where you my parents didn't know to be looking for these things. They did not have the knowledge that something that bad was going on within me. So I guess their frame of questions weren't really landing with me. So the questions that they were asking me, I wasn't receiving, therefore, I wasn't going to open up. I felt like, and I know a lot of young people feel this way with their parents. And it just is the way that the dynamic is, but I kind of felt like my parents were not concerned about me. They were just concerned about where I was at in life and where I was going and the progress I was making. Obviously, again, in hindsight, that was not the case, but the way I was perceiving it, that's just the way I felt. So when I was approached with questions like, what's going on? You're not yourself. Can we help you? Is there something going on? I would put up a wall of defense. Like I said, because I don't think that they were landing based on how I was perceiving it. You know, I think that parents often miss the boat and I'm talking about myself as well. Because we focus so much on how well our kids are doing in school and cheerleading in this and that, and we tend to put too much of our focus on that rather than sort of looking into the kid and going, wow, you know, I'm sensing there's something really going on with you. Let's just sort of sit back and sit down here and try to figure it out. So what would you say to a parent listening who thinks she was maybe my teen is depressed? What are the questions they should ask that would land? First and foremost, I would say, open up the conversation in a comfortable way. It's really uncomfortable for a young person to be expressive with their feelings. It just is. It's unnatural. There's no rule book on it. So going into the conversation with that frame of mind knowing that it's going to be uncomfortable, knowing that it's going to be difficult. And it very well may trigger emotions in you. And just having that idea that it's not an easy conversation to have, if you suspect your young one is struggling, but ultimately the best approach is one of compassion and empathy. And don't feel parents. It's crucial for you to know. You don't have to fix the problem. I know I can only imagine I'm not a parent yet, but I can only imagine how much hurt that brings to you to see your young one hurting. And I can assume that you just want to rush and coddle and fix the problem. But ultimately, that's going to do more damage than it is going to help. Because the problem with feelings is they need to be felt. They need to be felt. They need to have a space to be felt and to really just feel and express and get it all out without coming in and saying, well, how can we fix this? How can you feel better? So that's the biggest thing. It's just knowing that it's not going to be easy and don't feel like you have to fix the problem. The best thing to do is just sit there and listen, open up your ear and fully listen to receive instead of

"The core reason we did that. Sure. So no, I believe you. I believe you. So Benoit, what happens from here? We've had all of these ideas laid out here this morning. I think that have been actually really fascinating about the empowerment of customers to play a role in your business, through dows, the role of community, NFTs can play a role in marketing and building hype, but that there's real business opportunities here too. Paint a picture for us the next, not too far in the future. Because things are moving so quickly. But say three to 5 years from now, what does the space look like for brands working in the fashion industry? I mean, I hate this type of future questions because you can never guess either you have too late or too early. I never thought we would do that in two years at all. And we did it. I really don't like this, but I think in the first lot of brands I become irrelevant if they consume their short term driven marketing objectives. And I think really 99% of what brand do are is really bad so far and just taking liquidity of the market just to say, the NFT can have my promotion. I think it's really bad. I think what's interesting is you always say that you need your 101st true fans. As we made a 101st millionaires. So that's very different. It's not only us making money. Explain what you mean by you made your first hundred millionaire. Yeah, you know, the Gestapo and we know we gave pigeon for $1. We saw pigeon for $1. And now today it made people kept it so far more than $1 million worth of value. And so that's the type of community makes money. And it gets value from you. And then the value deployed by either by supporting or creating their own business, they will connect your ecosystem, supporting other artists, supporting other stuff. So I think three, 5 years from now, I don't know on the brands really, but me, I'm very interested in the new brands on new type of things are going on around the daoist city. I think it's going to do a little bit like an already like this today. Many countries that are very, very small countries because it's not like a million people of one country is communities of 10,000, 20,000 people. And I really like that dynamic of these small countries, the tokens, and together. They're going to actually invent something new. Instead of having the brain strength to integrate or participate in some weird ways because unless they're really start to make a dedicated unit for it, or even a new brand, that's still relying on using some of their resources. But do something new. I don't really see any of them succeeding really. And the worst case scenario would be that they all come in with their marketing dollars and their ideas around to protect their brand and all of that. And really fail to understand that this world has changed and now you're in the Internet world. You can't control the Internet. So I hope that three years from now, a lot of brands would have evolved from that that a lot of the staff that's in the office today would have changed with 20 years old guys who are good at Reddit that is replacing they call community managers, social media people or community managers is not a social media person. It's a community manager. It's very different type of job. And I hope that they really and raise it. I think luxury brands have a huge way of inviting it in the right way because as I said, you're in world building stage and luxury brands and most of the brands you work pretty good they understand how to make an experience to build an emerald thing in the pop up to do window display that tells you a small world in a window. So I think for once social media there were a bit of work it was going on everyone can comment on what I do want that. But I think we were free to really understand the layer of ownership and work building. A lot of them can embrace this really well, but it will all depend on who's at the helm at that strategy. And then if it's still driven by short term, I think a lot of them would just fail and you will see a very long tail of very interesting brands or communities or small countries that will actually dive most of the value because the communities are the people. We use the word consumer. They will go towards where they can add value and see that reward. And I get the community feedback every one. And we are as well they can get some of that value back and people will live there because from the moment you start to become a consumer that just buys and shows it off and you start to actually feel rewarded because you're part of a community or a really and you make encounters. I met so many people in the last two years on Discord and stuff. I met them for the first time only two weeks ago in Paris, but it's people I made collaborations with millions of dollars. We've never met them. And that's in real life. And I feel so good at them in their life in fact, okay, cool. I know you already, in fact, you see what I mean. So I think that's why it's going to go like how do you understand that expectations of your audience are going to change, because they want to add value to you. And they also want to get value from you. Not only from the product side. Okay. Well, thank you, Benoit for that. I can talk a lot more. I know. Well, we're going to have some time for some questions later, but I think this is clearly such a fast evolving space. And there's a lot that we're all still trying to understand. And sometimes you need someone like Benoit to really push the boundaries. So Ben watt, thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much.

"New frontiers in fashion and technology are first physical event in North America since before the pandemic. For more than two decades now, the fashion industry's technological transformation has been gathering momentum. But the pandemic turbocharged this. When we entered lockdowns in March 2020, we had no idea what was going to happen. And now that we are reemerging two years later, from a fashion technology perspective, it's almost as if ten years have gone by. Nowhere is this more clear than in the development of and the hype surrounding the metaverse and the poster child of this movement in fashion is the cofounder of artifact, Benoit pagoto, whose company was acquired by Nike in December. Benoit joined me for a conversation of the summit to explain why he agreed to sell his business now and unpack how brands can grow their communities in the burgeoning web three space. Here's Benoit pagoto at the BOF professional summit. For everyone who doesn't know what you do. I think we need to start with that very basic explanation that you gave to me a long time ago. To just explain the vision or something? Well, what does artifact do? Exactly. And I think when I asked you the first time, I said, you know, if you were explaining it to your grandmother, how would you explain it? Because this morning, we hear all of these different buzzwords web three communities. A lot of bad stuff that is where I disagree a lot with what some of the panels. Okay, well, that's what you want to dive into. Okay, so what we do with artifacts is when we started, we started with a belief. So first we are frequent cofounders and we're all from different backgrounds, but all like gamers, geeks, we love anime, all of these type of stuff. And we started with the vision thinking that in the future, a lot of what you possess digitally will be a lot more variable to you than what you possess physically. Both on the emotional level and economic level. And this is true today. It's true for me because I mean I'm an NFT king now or whatever. So of course I don't want to lose my mind. She fled back at really good weather with NFTs. But it's true for me as well. I grew up video games to me is the most amazing medium that's ever existed since I am three years old. I play every day and I have been fascinated by the industry as a whole. And a lot of my best memories in my life are not like with my big browser was not like stuff we did in holidays. It's definitely in games. Like hitting a bus and when your core thing participates in the quest. So I've got a lot of really great memories I remember with my browser or my friends online. And I cherish them almost more than the stuff I did at school in classroom or whatever. And it's true today and I don't know if there's any kids in there I don't think so because I would be we have but you should take any kid today you either tell anybody it's a Roblox account I'll take your childhood full of like plus years since you have one years old. They're going to cry a lot more. You should take out their Roblox account and you burn their pleasure in front of their eyes. And for a way longer. So that co believe that started it that, okay, so of course we should create a brand that would have digital items and digital goods as the first type of product. And fully trade for that world is not being constrained by your legacy, your existing business and having to ship stuff ahead shipping and logistica was in eSports shipping just. It was the worst thing to do to shift stuff around the world. So we started with that and the second belief we had as well is that in the future, you don't need brands need to change completely their approach. First they need to stop using the word consumer because that's over. But many is that the value of your brand in the future is not going to be made by your market cap, but by your community market cap. What community you have all the creative or the good or the supportive or this smart or the connected world in the world and how they can create value for you. And so that's how we created that brand because I worked for many luxury brands and Friends in my life has always had to be the cool guy with ideas. And I, for the kid, I feel all these guys are for years and they still don't really understand and they will never understand because they've been missing out on the gaming culture that I think taking over the major mainstream culture for the world, taking over hip hop and so that was the core belief and we thought we can actually create a brand brand new that is buying gaming culture one in crypto and from then you have a fully known horizon or whatever you want to do and you are not limited. We started with sneakers because we for the kids, great because sneakers are illustrated as an asset became the item for fashion since a very long time. But you're not limiting anything ourselves to that then after we did avatars, never making real estate. And I think a lot of the brands right now, they are still focused on their core product and their normal business, but I thought if you start from scratch, it's like a very thank you. But there are a lot of the brands right now that they need to shift into being a world building and not just building for themselves. And that's I think a mistake a lot of people sending the panelists before. What can they get from these and data? I know you need to ask yourself what can I do for them? And that's a big shift because it's more about what can I do for my community? Yeah, exactly. And for the community of all the community are in right now in the web three, everyone wants to come in. It's working like a comedian people so it's very, very small, but you guys might like to close about it all the time. About 1 million people. And you all want to come in because you are not in. And yes, there's gatekeeping, but just like there's been gatekeeping on us for years in fashion. And so now who's there? I'm here in this thing next to all these people when no one knew me, no three years ago or whatever. So I think it's very interesting change of power and very interesting dynamic because the power is going to the people and the community going to define your value. And that's a big mindset shift because as a brand you're looking at think of yourself of me, my marketing, my campaign, my competitor, but the real thing that we create the value is the community and how the ad value to you. Okay. So it's a big thing with the so this is the grand vision of kind of why you started the company the pandemic hits. We actually wrote the first time we mentioned artifact on BOS was July 2019. Yeah, before we were still stealth. Yeah. And you were in stealth mode. And we finishing, we gave you a more Jordan as the image because of our game in the end. Yeah, well, the point of the article was, would you buy a pair of virtual Nikes? So pandemic hits, last February, I think you did a digital sale of sneakers. With ferocious. Millions of dollars of sneakers sold in a very short spares of time, like 5 minutes. And that's when it really got.

"We'll talk to you again soon. Thank you. Welcome back. That's going to be an interesting thing and I really want to get on the aircraft now. The fact that the business class seat doesn't recline. I mean, it's just a, it's just a fascinating concept to me and now I really want to check it out. Yeah, there's a lot of the same flying out there. A lot of airlines flying the same core product from a very few selection of seating manufacturers. So it seems like thin air has gone outside the box and then taken a couple more left turns. Yeah, definitely, definitely so. And it'll be interesting to see how they do with their premium economy, which is basically everybody else's premium economy seating and layout and things like that. But we'll see what the soft product is because of all the new services that they're going to roll out. So we'll see how that goes. Having just flown finnair recently, the exclusion of premium economy was a real, real soft point in their overall product. They're like one of the only airlines flying over the Atlantic that doesn't have it. So that's finally nice to see from them. Before we go, we've got some flight radar 24 news. This week we released new search function and features on the web, so this standardizes the search experience across the web and the apps. And it's some really cool stuff as far as finding info that you want about a flight without having to search and then click and go somewhere else with the old search on the web. You basically, if you search for a flight or a route or an aircraft, you had to then click on it and you were taken away from whatever you were doing on the map and you had to go to a different page to look at any data. Now that we've got the new search you can basically stay in the search console and get information about those particular flights or pull up a list of live flights by airline, which is actually a fun thing that I've been playing around with seeing how many flights are in the air by a particular airline at any one time and where they're headed. And then for all of them you can see on a particular flight, you can see things like arrival and departure timings, which actual aircraft is operating the flight. And then you can dig into the historical data or things like that. If you want to go a bit further, you don't have to immediately go off the map page. So that should be fun and people should check it out and let us know what you think. If you have any suggestions about improvements in other areas, we're always happy to hear those.

"You're kind of like, are people really desiring it or are they just doing it? Because they feel like that's what they're supposed to be doing. So it is kind of hard to also be like, I don't even know whether I'm just being my little nonconformist self and just not copying them, whoever listens to something that people genuinely actually have a desire to do. I think it's a combination of the two. Well, one thing I wanted to ask you because you always seem to have had this very strong sense of self and where did that come from? And that kind of like, yeah, this is me, get over it. I mean, I like to I also say I feel like I just internalize those like Disney Channel messages a bit too much. That whole be yourself thing. I think I took that little too seriously to the point where it's kind of productive. But I also think it had I also think it was just 'cause I don't know, I think I'm an only child and I was predominantly raised by my mom and she really just let me be like this weird as I am. She didn't really try and really steer me in any kind of direction and she kind of just like, there was no one to really, I mean, of course you get compared to other people's kids. Even if you don't have siblings, but there wasn't really any kind of like, oh, I should be like this or I should be like that or feeling like I had to try and match up to anybody in particular. So I was kind of just left to, you know, find what I like to do my own thing and I don't entirely know where my where my kind of non conformist attitude problem. I think it was also partially, again, I listened to a lot of rock music as a kid. I wanted to be Billy Joe Armstrong. I was obsessed with Green Day. I was obsessed with this whole punk rock, vibe, and again, that was totally counterproductive, made me like the least cool person. Like I had no friends, but I had this mentality of like, why change to be friends with someone that doesn't actually like you for who you really are like, that doesn't seem constructive either. So I'd rather just do my own thing, sit by myself and see what happens. And I kind of maintained that and about over ten years later, eventually became somewhat practical 'cause I stuck to my guns and it turned out okay, but wasn't always practical, but I don't know where it came from. That's amazing, though, your mom sounds cool. She's awesome. And did you ever have like a coming out moment without you just said she just got who you were in that was that? I mean not really. I often guess, what was there like telling you, again, because I wasn't pretending to be anything else. There wasn't really anything to announce. I never acted like I wasn't asexual. I never acted like I wasn't a romantic. So I think it would have been weirder if I came home and said, hey, mom, this is my boyfriend. Should have been like, huh. Really? I mean, you didn't say you wouldn't, but you also had expressed zero interest like ever. So that would probably have been weirder. I feel like I just like, I don't know, I heard the word one day and I was like, oh, by the way, you know that's a word. I probably asexual..

"But for some asexual people, it is something that they don't mind doing within a relationship. It's not something that they desire to, but they don't mind doing it. Kind of like washing the dishes. I hear people kind of make that. Comparison is not the end of the world doing it, but I'm not going to spend all day thinking about how much I want to do it. But then, you know, there are some that they don't want to really want to have sex within their relationship. And if that is something that is a crucial component for their partner, then that is something that should probably be discussed and could potentially be worked around, so I think it's important to be open and see what happens. And talk about it, right? Like you say, every relationship could really do with more talking about all this stuff because needs change and grow. Definitely. I'm just looking at the other questions. This is obviously from a fan. Read Madden. What's your favorite metal genre subject? I like that this is obviously someone who is familiar with my stuff. I think I've mentioned before. I feel like death metal for me is a very good sex substitute. I don't know why, but there is something in particular about death metal that just really hits the spot sometimes. That is like in the same way so on my list it's like an Adele song and literally cry. I could listen to a death metal song and be like, oh my God, that was a deep emotional experience. Wow. I am moved, I'm physically moved. Sometimes I'll be like, I just want if there's a guitar solo right now, then that would just do it for me. And then there is one. And I'm like, oh, love it. Really? Because you like one hell of like an eargasm. So I would definitely say death metal is my. That's the early genre that does that to me. Okay, AC in the pack says, how can I be a better ally for asexual people? I think that one of the most one of the easiest things is be more inclusive in the way that you talk about sexuality, which again, I think is one of those things that it's beneficial for everyone like asexuality is not a bubble. It's just one of the multiple layers and experiences of sexuality. And I think that when we talk about sexuality in a way that is a little bit black and white. I don't think it's really helpful for anybody. And I think that people unintentionally, you know, they might, you know, like if someone's asking what your sexual orientation is and you might be like, oh, I get you into this. You went to that, like, are you gay? You straight are you by maybe just think, okay, well maybe someone say sexual, like we can bring that up as an option and also. Why also place the emphasis on like that element of sexuality where it is about the orientation? Like there are other layers to your sexual experience. And I think that people also, when you're talking about sex and you're placing important on the sex that you should be having or you kind of see that as being like, you know, an essential component to kind of like living like a normal life, like maybe just consider like, okay, is that actually that essential? Is this framing it this way going to be potentially alienating for people that don't feel that?.

"Well, yeah, it's interesting, you know, the hyper sexualization of black queer bodies and black female bodies, butting up against being an asexual activist. I wonder what that has been like. It's been weird, I think that people were kind of naturally like they often like, okay, well, you know, you're a lingerie model, so there is going to be a degree of sexualization that, but there is a difference between sexualization and hypersexualization and I think the best way I can describe it is that the kind of comments I get when people like, oh, well, you're asexual, you're in your underwear, those two things don't make sense. I get those same things in jeans and a T-shirt. I have had people say, well, you know, if you weren't dressed like that, if you were a dress, if you're wearing jeans if you cover it up, then I wouldn't be mad at you. I wouldn't be invalidating you. But I have and then but I have things where I am wearing Jesus. It's like, well, if you're a sexual and why are you touching your hair that's sexy? Why are you wearing jeans? I could almost see your belly button. That's too sexy. I get that for literally anything. And it's like, there is this weird mentality, like you can't, especially and it mainly comes from white people. I notice it doesn't matter what I'm doing. I'll be like, well, your face is sexy. I'll be fully Chloe, then they'll say I'm pornographic. And that's what I mean by hyper sexualization. It's almost like a kind of attack in a sense that they can't desexualize you. They only see you through a very sexual lens, no matter what you're doing, whether you're consenting to it or not, whether it's appropriate or not. And that is, I feel like that is a distinction that I definitely have encountered a lot specifically relating to me being asexual and black at the same time. That is absolutely shit and it shouldn't have happened..

"What they want to the portray. It's not as palatable from someone like me. It doesn't fit the ideas that people have. And if they do want to do things with me, they often emphasize it in a very shock value esque way. What you do get with other articles anyway, it is very much kind of voyeuristic and the way it's kind of depicted. It's very much got a kind of freak show undatable kind of energy. But then they definitely try and make it in a way that makes it very provocative and kind of invites trolling to me. In the way that they like they'll be like, oh, here's her in her underwear and then we're gonna use that as the first picture and then say, here's the lingerie model that will never have sex with you. And this and it's like, that's not what I'm talking about. That's how they like to kind of frame it if they are gonna put me on it. And you as an activist as a person who's trying to raise awareness is having to choose whether you're going to be included in given a platform in a way that is actually nutritious or useful for your cause, right? Well, I think the complicated thing is, is that you don't know that's how it's gonna be until. You don't get to choose the headline. Like I've done things where I thought that was a really good interview. That was really in depth. I feel like that's gonna be really sensitively done. And then I see they come out and I'm like, what the hell was that? That is not what we said that was not how I thought you were going to do it. I've had to tell them you got to change that headline. This was inaccurate. You've totally made me out to be like some kind of cocktails. And so it's almost impossible to even be able to 'cause I've done documentaries where I've been like,.

"Well, grace, sexual is pretty much feeling like you're in a kind of in between like you might not be a 100% asexual, not that there really is a 100% asexual or you're not a 100% not asexual. He kind of feel like you're kind of floating somewhere in the middle. It's pretty much what that means and then Demi sexuality means that you're only experienced sexual attraction towards someone after you formed like a kind of deep emotional bond with the person. So that has to be a component for there to even be a possibility of experiencing sexual attraction towards them. What would you say is your definition of asexuality and a romanticism as well? Yeah, well, I use the most widely accepted definition, which is for asexuality is experiencing a lack of sexual attraction or experiencing little to no sexual attraction. So there are some definitions like I believe. I don't know. I mean, last time I saw people often like when they're trying to kind of get on asexual people's nerves, they'll be like, roll the dictionary, says that it means that you have no sexual feelings and no sexual desires or no sexual interest, which is not actually the truth it is about sexual attraction. You know, saying that if you're asexual and that is being non sexual, which is not actually the definition or that it means that you don't have a libido, that's also not necessarily a definition. I mean, I'm asexual. I say my libido is pretty even average or high to be fair. And similarly, you can be asexual and still have sex. So that's also not necessarily a component or a synonymous with being asexual. So yeah, that is a definition that I personally use and that is the most common way. I'll mix up to definition. And then similarly for being your romantic, that means experiencing little to no romantic attraction. Because you're a romantic orientation in your sexual orientation aren't necessarily..

"This is part two of my lovely chat with yasmin Benoit. If you haven't heard part one, then you've got a treat in store, head back to the feed, go listen to that first. And if you had her part one, welcome to part two. What made you move from here I am living my life to know I'm going to become an activist I'm going to create visibility and visibility as a black asexual woman as well, which is challenging in its own ways. I mean it was like a hashtag everything was kind of somewhat accidental 'cause I mean, I didn't really I didn't have much exposure to activism. I wasn't really on the scene. I wasn't really using social media like that. I didn't join Twitter until like 2019 and I did not use tumblr. So that whole element of people kind of like make a job and make like a whole lifestyle out of raising awareness or something. I didn't really know that was a thing. For me, it was just kind of like I have a bit of a platform for my modeling and I often think, oh, I'll be nice if there was some black asexual representation there. And then I thought, well, I'm not consciously doing anything about it. So I literally it was just like it was supposed to be just like a kind of casual thing that I just brought up a few times. I didn't think anyone would really care, otherwise I wouldn't have waited for so long to really mention it. I generally didn't think anyone would care. And then I kind of noticed that there was kind of a gradual snowballing effect and I was just kind of riding the wave. And then when I finished my masters ago, I thought, let me steer the wave a bit more because if people are going to be like, as I noticed, they were like, yeah, you're like the asexual icon, you're like known for this now..

"This podcast some great guests funny and intelligent hosts. So that's one. Two. Stephen with the subject heading mister Y and our previous one was 5 stars this one's monster. You may enjoy if you compare the relentless use of the word queer. Was relieved to hear recent excellent guest Cyndi Lauper was not comparing the Q word to the N word. Don't expect any balance debate on the gender critical issue. They never have guessed who were GC being gender critical assume on their show to have a sensible discussion about the matter. Sounds like angry tearful alert to me. Stephen, everybody is entitled to their opinion, but this is a lovely warm bubble bath of a podcast and we'll use queer as much as they want. Thank you because that's what the community want to say. I can't see you getting a teacher, but I'm going to put it in your hands Jasmine, you're going to choose. Number three is from Paul. He says, love the show 5 stars. What can I say? I adore this podcast, and mister Sweeney, that's me. Has felt like a constant companion as I go about my daily chores. Oh, Paul, don't do your chores you do your back in. 5 stars all round. We like Paul. That was sweet. Yasmin, oh my God, I've had a better idea. You choose the winner but let's do it at the end. Fill the suspense. Yeah, so Jasmine is gonna tell us the winner at the end. Stephen, you do not have to continue listening. Let's have a look at some emails because as we know this season of the podcast is about you the listeners. It's about getting the questions that you want to ask to the people you want us to speak to. And there's two emails that come up yasmin that were about asexuality that got sent in. So I'm going to read them if that's okay with you. Sure. So the first one is from cat, the subject heading is uncovering the a, I love your podcast, have been listening since I discovered you during lockdown, which in Australia where I currently reside was most of last year. As a hetero asexual woman, brackets may be gray slash Demi, still figuring it out. I have continued to learn so much listening to your lovely voices. Sadly, however, I don't hear much discussion that includes asexual or any of the non sexual romantic people of the LGBTQIA+ community. Now 47 I was talking about the album. I think I had that. Now 47 I spent most of my life thinking sex was very overrated. Women were totally lying to keep men happy, or that there was something very wrong with me. I've had a lot of men been in a lot of relationships, tried nearly everything to feel turned on and nothing worked for me. I only discovered in the last few months that I'm not alone. While my first thought was that I had been dealt a short straw, I also found an explanation for how I am wired, which with time am coming to understand and accept. This is brilliant cat. I am now happily married four years in May to someone who is equally devoid of libido. We adore each other. We're extremely affectionate rarely ever apart and can go a year without either of us wanting sex sometimes longer..

Wall Street Journal reporter, David Benoit welcome back. Thanks forever. Of course. So I for those of us who didn't try it out. Can't now ask your date. I guess if you could I walk us through what Finn was because it was a bit of a digital hybrid. Right. Sure. So, so Finn would have been an online only Bank, so it would have been you, you download the app, and you go start in account in sort of like their various other options out there, right where you can transfer money in and out in get it only online really odd had some cool tools within about saving and some suggestions on, on how to use your money and budget. And then the, the extra the hybrid part here for for Finn was will you could also actually physically go to an ATM you go to a chase teller for some things and you could withdraw. In deposit money. And that's that was the big thing, you, there's a place where you could. You know if someone paid you in cash, or in check, which I think most people don't get millennials get cash. You could actually deposit it at an ATM and how it go into your county. That's a hard thing to do. Right. I guess it speaks to this shift, that's happening, obviously, especially younger people, they don't really finance the way the structure has been in place. So do we take this about face as big banks, having trouble circumnavigating this new space? I think everyone sort of experimenting a little bit in, in sort of testing things out. If Morgan certainly throws a lot of money around in technology in general, and I think he's willing to sort of drop things not work out the way they thought Jeep Morgan seems to have learned some things from, from their interactions with with Finn customers about and they've at the same time been improving their standard chase mobile app and expanding their branch network. And they just felt like we don't need this other. Brand over here. It doesn't mean they're going to stop trying to get millennials on their app in and you can actually now open up chase account, whether or not you have a branch near you. So there are other other ways they sort of trying to do it mentioned, how they're sort of a big player in this space. And there is such a aggressive spending on this kind of tech, our rivals faring as they try to restructure their whole being as well. Yes. So chases like one of the largest deposit banks in the country, they're second, most branches and deposits. So they're a massive organization. They touch him one into households what they talk about. Which is why they're allowed to sort of try this thing out, and then kind of quickly folded back into perspective. There are lots of other things Goldman Sachs's trotted out this Marcus checking and savings account, which is the difference between it and Finn was, we'll one didn't have that physical location. We talked about, right? But to Marcus and Goldman are paying you an awful lot of interest right now. So your money is making money for you. And that is a huge draw in his doing pretty well. We think with millennials. There are other options from places like acorns, which is, you know, building up trading in, in other ways investing, they're adding checking accounts on top of it. Everyone sort of trying to get at young people in how they use money and deposits in deposits is the key here for all the banks because they take your deposits, turn them into loans, which is where they make profit.
