GMM 984: People Who Live In A Time Warp

let’s do the time warp again let’s talk about that [Music] good mythical morning okay I have recently made a personal change in my life that I would like to share with you finally you mythical beats and that is that I no longer have my phone with me in the morning I you let it do its own thing what I have been doing for years since having a smart phone is I’ve been going to bed looking at the phone and then cutting it off using it as my alarm clock and then the first thing I do when I wake up as soon as I cut the alarm off what I do so this will mean to you lose the group pruner youtube meaning and so I’m just like I’m a slave to my phone so I recently read an article about how how horrible this is for us and I decided I put the phone in the bathroom oh no so it still works as an alarm clock if I need that but and I don’t look at it at night and I don’t after like 10 o’clock and I don’t look at it in the morning until I get to in my car actually so you pee and you put your phone down and then it’s there it’s not in the shower is it no it’s not in the shower it’s not waterproof and then when the alarm goes off it forces you get out of bed oh yeah but I’ve made a decision to simplify my life to go to a simpler time if it were before we had a smart phone I mean I’m not doing it you can do it but I have not gone nearly as far as the people that we will be talking about today I’ve actually decided to live their life in another era hmm starting with but their mobile phones are still in their rest rooms let’s find out maybe Sarah and Gabriel Chrisman of Port Townsend Washington they have chosen to live in the Victorian era now for those of you who didn’t pay attention in history class or haven’t had the Victorian era class yet this is basically the second half of the 19th century during Queen Victoria’s reign that’s what I call it before you Vicki I like to call a time when raw sewage ran through the streets children worked in factories yes women couldn’t vote in other words the good old days yeah let’s let’s live there exclusively this is the decision they made yeah they did so okay for the past six years this couple has done everything they can to live authentically in this era okay this is what they have done of course they have chosen to live in a circa 1888 Victorian house mm-hmm that’s that’s a detail if they didn’t get that one right if they were like living in a 70s split-level the whole thing would just be thrown off yeah well you know so they got that detail right but they went a lot further than just living in a Victorian I’d live in a ranch with some horses miniature ranch don’t that’s just single story they don’t come with horses really yeah well no just automatically get horses with the ranch well back to you then so every appliance in their house is peered appropriate they do not have a refrigerator they have an icebox which is just a box full of ice that you lay your meat on they also have a wood fire stove which Sara claims is quote much easier to control than an electric stove what what what rolls that dial the temperature right every tricky sometimes what kind of a life is does she been sold those I don’t know one you operate with your mouth I don’t know there’s also no washing machines no dryers and dishwashers in their home oh no wait actually correction they do help have all that her name is Sarah okay so Sarah and then Sarah dresses like Vicki did she dresses in the appropriate Victorian garb yes she does appropriate and the appropriate when you wear the right Victorian garb is called appropriate right your appropriate in and just put it together and he also wears appropriate garbage you can sell he also they also he’s got it easier than her she’s wearing a corset am i right well she wears a corset and she wears a hoop skirt which goes out really far but she says that it’s like having a cat’s whiskers and she can feel her environment that’s what she says to justify her dress has feelings it’s just like those chinko jeans that we used to work yeah you couldn’t sneak up on us right because you would touch us from like four feet away what about the fans okay I get it I get it now here’s a cool thing though they ride these tall bicycles I mean apparently the the male version of the bicycle you can see Gabriel mounting the bicycle here it’s kind of a hoppity hop hop hop hop skip skip and him up I haven’t seen any footage of him getting off but I can imagine it he looks just as cool as he does when he’s getting on it when he’s dismounting the bike and she drives this cool three wheel sort of trike version of this the skirt the hoop skirt you can’t be riding on that thing you got to be and they’ve taken like 75 mile bike trips together on these things I think she’s riding looks like a farm implement I mean farm implement huh I mean who’s been looking at the vocabulary book this morning that’s pretty cool oh man okay you wear a hoop skirt to ride that you know and you get the other one you get the male version I want that one there’s a male version and a female I want everything in the Victorian area okay so why are they doing this why are they doing this now they say that this is an ongoing research project that they have a genuine interest in the era they could love living life this way and they’ve essentially committed themselves and a lot of their work to this Sarah herself has written books about this using a period appropriate fountain pen no less titles of her books include this Victorian life Victorian secrets yeah yeah yeah I’m not making any of this I torian’s and her latest foray into fiction first wheel in town a Victorian cycle club romance I’ve already ordered a copy for everyone on the crew don’t worry of taking care of you now none of these none of these are to be confused with her children’s book everybody poops except women that would be inappropriate they didn’t do that no the 19 that’s what I made up okay and they also maintain wait for it a blog on the internet but yes they use computers but I know you feel ripped off link but let me explain they have a blog this Victorian life calm where they talk all about this I don’t know how they use the fountain pen maybe she hits the keyboard with the fountain she died if there’s a way to maintain that authenticity uh but she wrote a piece for voxcom back in 2015 where she talked about this and why they were doing it but she also kind of said that they identify with lots of the ideals of the Victorian era era as you heard those might be sort of controversial so there was this huge backlash on the internet which prompted ABC to come and do an interview with them and then things got a little bit awkward during the interview check this out reaction on the internet went viral yes with some on Twitter mocking her and websites joining is that happened on Twitter my mom didn’t even have the right to vote back then so big about a boat the life a democracy well I mean America with a lot less voters they’ve eventually become a conception of who should vote is evolved over too soon it’s really it’s something that we don’t necessarily see as being the most important thing in the world but you do agree that women should vote well I think that I think that voting in general is overrated if you can imagine just this piece really cleared everything up for all the people who had issues with them just keep it to your Victorian selves can I introduce you to someone else you can meet Joanna Frances she’s a 30-something living in scum Court Scunthorpe yeah North Lincolnshire England I’m sorry favorite town Scunthorpe every day of her life she lives as though it is 1939 yes look at how happy she is she’s rosy cheeked hands on the hips of her sweater tucked into her pants I’ll explain wine a little bit but why is she so happy because she’s living in a little thing called war war – okay Britain long said war war – by the way that’s what I used to say as a kid before I realized it was the world war did I say war war you kind of said world war but I like it man just roll with it war war – britain lost almost 1% of their total population fighting the Nazis but she doesn’t sound like a lot but it is a lot it is a lot and she’s chosen to go back to this time when she moved into her house she ripped out her kitchen in her bathroom because they were too modern so I admire this woman she really she went all the way give or take she now has an outdoor toilet and she dumps her chamber pot in it every morning oh look Joanna you know Joanna’s coming out to dump her chamber pot let’s watch okay you’d be into that way I don’t think you don’t answer that do it naked she probably goes out clothes it’s just Dookie in a pot yeah I know but that’s some people are into that I thought you would be okay I’m not so her outfit is an authentic land girl uniform which is that’s what it’s called land girls a woman that took over men’s jobs in World War one and World War two and I believe I have a picture of a white girl Halloween there she is it’s taken away from that it’s technically a glass I think but but let’s just go with it she recreates her own blackouts which I really don’t know what that meant but that’s when you turn you you cover your windows and turn all your your lights out so the Germans couldn’t see where to bomb at night because the Germans are still out there you got to look out for that Hitler it sounded more like Skeletor I was gone for like the radio hating Hitler everywhere everybody hated Hitler US military so Joanna’s living her best life but there’s one things one thing missing all she wants she says is to find a partner who shares her passions and interest but for some reason it’s tough what a man she does acknowledge that most of the men who fit that bill are quote probably ninety years old or dead mm-hmm so Joanna we know that you couldn’t do this so we took some liberties to create a tinder profile for you in order to drum up some some some love and some companionship 19:39 they did not have tinder but look at this here it is today I’m just your average land girl looking for a Winston Churchill type to share my rations with I enjoyed blackouts soap flakes chamber pots and outsmarting Hitler swipe right if you’d like to enjoy a pint and a night at the talkies oh you know the talk either movies where they would talk yeah you could hear it yeah it was amazing audio I prefer that you be under nine years old and still alive but I’m flexible if Italian German or Japanese swipe left oh okay well Joanna you’re in luck because we have taken the liberty to create some additional tinder profiles for men that we think would be great matches for you including one man named Vince and some real guy right yes he’s only 120 miles away from you he’s 37 years old but he lives in the year 1946 here’s a cinder profile I enjoy anything and everything from the year 1946 including my carpet it is 70 years old that it smells good full disclosure I have a gal pal but for some reason she refuses to share my love shack with me swipe right if you’d like to swing dance with me or see my slinky the slinky was invented in the 40s oh it was okay so yeah everybody had one everybody had one it goes downstairs yeah this which they have does in the 40 yes they had stairs I’ve got another candidate for you Johanna created a profile for him Aaron Whiteside 33 years old he lives 130 miles away from you in Blackpool I’m just your average bloke who loves everything in the great depression

period-appropriate fire – he’s got a given us an know what happens there my guy just has a slinky that’s all I know slinky or Joanna your choice just contact us if you would like the keys to your
