Hosts' ADHD Diagnoses and Pub Vision
00:01:03
Speaker
Very do you ah Do you want to describe your your hat for those who are listening in their car?
00:01:10
Speaker
It's kind of pork pie style, but a little bit, like a centimetre higher than your average pork pie hat. All right. It's kind of like a trilby, but but yeah with less of a rim.
00:01:24
Speaker
um Thanks, mate. Very nice. Careful. In a fetching grey. The children listening. great I'm wearing, as as as is my way of this time of year, my beanie.
00:01:37
Speaker
um And we're going to stay here in the pub. Oh, no, we're going to. This is where. See, this as' gone wrong this is where you, Paul. Introduce yourself.
00:01:49
Speaker
Yes, spontaneously. ah Hello, I'm Paul Thompson with a P. And I was diagnosed with the combined ADH and another D according to water a bunch of years ago.
00:01:59
Speaker
And I'm Martin West and I was diagnosed with the combined poo-poo platter in 2013. And we start off and we're staying in ah the local ah pub in ADHDville, the King's Agitated Head.
00:02:13
Speaker
ah Where we, the co-ex-mayors of ADHD, sit at the back, have a drink and take care of business. yeah um Have you ever considered, we have you ever pondered, cogitated and what would it would be like if we ran a pub within with an ADHD kind of, you know, theme?
The Focus and Symbolism of Hats
00:02:34
Speaker
It was a real ah ah real pub called the King's Agitated Head, you know. Right. We had snacks. Okay. We had, if the menu was ADHD friendly.
00:02:47
Speaker
Okay. It could be good. I think it could be a pretty cool pub. but Acoustics, not too loud. so Yeah. of like little bit Carpet, not too smelly and sticky. Yeah.
00:02:59
Speaker
Sticky carpet. Sticky carpet. Gotta love a pub with a sticky carpet. um Yeah. All right. So let's talk about hats, Mr. Paul. This was your subject. let's talk about hats. So I was thinking, i was i was um i was with a client this morning. I was driving back.
00:03:20
Speaker
to ADHDville, you know, headquarters and thinking, case um you know, if if you were someone that just hasn't listened to or watched any of our episodes before, you could, you know, casually come across this episode and think ADHD and hats. What the hell are you talking about?
00:03:44
Speaker
Right. Actually, there's this. Are you off your head? of you have your Out of your minds. out your minds Actually, there was there was some um research done in 2012, not so long ago, 13 years ago, and um' participants wore a baseball cap while performing memory tasks, and they found that the majority, the vast majority ah of them, they were able to recall information more accurately than those who did not wear a hat.
00:04:19
Speaker
What? Right? Yeah. So are we saying? It helped them to reduce distractions and improve focus just wearing a freaking hat.
00:04:33
Speaker
Well, firstly, I'm thinking maybe the thoughts don't evaporate out of your skull, right? Because you've got the hat there that kind of keeps the thoughts in rather than just yeah going out the ends of your hair.
00:04:45
Speaker
um So that's one one very scientific reason why I think that that could be the case. Yeah. Well, there's also the case of, um, there's other research, just pressure.
00:04:59
Speaker
Cause even if, you you know, it doesn't have to be the tightest hat, any hat increases a certain amount of pressure around your head. There's a, there's a, there's a sensual, you know, sensual element to the, the, of the experience. Okay. Okay.
00:05:14
Speaker
And so there is a certain amount of pressure around your your you know your lobes, your head. All right. You know that helps. Your body. you'll Your bonds.
00:05:26
Speaker
That's the word I was looking Your bonds. Exactly. yeah yeah But there I think there's also since there's also an element of it being symbolic. It just helps you. it's It's just a trick to help you concentrate.
00:05:40
Speaker
I heard someone say a couple of weeks ago, when they're looking for keys, they can't find their keys or wallet. They put a hat on all of sudden they remember where the wallet and their keys were.
00:05:53
Speaker
we may have that's that's nuts i mean i mean yeah no that's for sure for sure i mean like not everyone likes wearing a hat on on on on the head but i know that i i do and it and that pressure thing that you're talking about you know, definitely kind of like calms the yang anxiety down, which means, I guess, you know, like that's a way to kind of like make your brain stress less and less and can yeah remember.
00:06:27
Speaker
Well, the same studies sure proved that hats can significantly affect one's confidence. It says here one's confidence and attitude.
00:06:38
Speaker
um According to the studies, people who wear hats in social settings often feel more comfortable and safe, which might increase their confidence.
Historical Insights on Hats
00:06:48
Speaker
Ooh, I know for sure, yeah, that hats are are a good way of like...
00:06:58
Speaker
to kind like um signal personality. It's almost like playing, playing, playing, sort that that you are someone else a little bit, right? If you put on a hat, you you kind of like do bit of role play. Yeah.
00:07:16
Speaker
Yeah. There's also an element of masking. and Yeah. Funny enough, two minutes before we came on online, there's an article about Melania Trump, who's the brim of her hat is getting wider and wider and wider to avoid her getting any kisses from to have her husband, Donald.
00:07:39
Speaker
I love that. cream They actually prove that her brim is getting wider so that she can avoid as much as possible, you know, that the kind of impromptu attempt, you know, to kiss her on the cheek.
00:07:53
Speaker
Well, that's very practical. defensive ski to call Yeah, right practical. yeah Yeah, because i've got I've got written down here that wide-brim hats, you know can create ah a sense of personal space.
00:08:09
Speaker
So that kind of does doess that. yeah and And also, wide-brim hats are also very good... Well, actually, um are very good at at regulating sunlight.
00:08:21
Speaker
So, you know, like when things are too coursear are too bright, they can kind of like to salute like sunglasses can just take that edge off. yeah Especially if you've got blue eyes.
00:08:35
Speaker
If you've got blue eyes, you need more protection than people with darker eyes, like brown slash black eyes. All right. Well, i ah if we're talking about bit about about ah blue eyes himself, Frank Sinatra, i have a hat have a hat quote from him.
00:08:57
Speaker
Do you? He said, yes. Yes. He said, cock your hat. angles ah ah ah Angles are attitude. Okay.
00:09:08
Speaker
So, you know, like he he would he would have his hat at kind of luck and like a little cocky angle. Okay. Well, in English, you might say you doff your cap or your hat. You doff off your cap.
00:09:21
Speaker
Oh, yeah, because... Do you know that you and I have got a connection to Frank Sinatra? Okay. Well, blue eyes. mean, I've got of blue eyes. He's got blue eyes. We worked with someone who whose brother was Frank Sinatra's personal assistant.
00:09:39
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Jesus. bri Brian Stapley, photographer. brother went missing because he he was he was Frank Sinatra's personal assistant for many, many years.
00:09:52
Speaker
And when Nancy Sinatra came out with her autobiography, he helped him. He helped her write her biography and he went missing. He's never been seen since.
00:10:04
Speaker
No. No. Yeah. Wow. There you go. Connection to Frank Sinatra. That's a mystery. That's a mystery. I'll Google.
00:10:16
Speaker
Going back to practical things, the bowler hat, which, you know, people normally associate with like Britishness and, you know, you know, the city financial kind of things, you know, actually the bowler hat was invented for gamekeepers for safety.
00:10:32
Speaker
So if you're like hunting and stuff, it would um help to defend your head, protect your head. If you're like running through woodlands and stuff. All right. it's actually like It was like the prequel to the hard hat.
00:10:48
Speaker
Oh, that's all interesting. Well, yeah while while we're on the kind of like, I can tell you about top hats that once caused panic when it was first seen in London in 1797.
00:11:04
Speaker
seven So someone was walking down the street with a top hat. And newspapers reported that people fainted, horses horses are bolted, and the inventor was charged with disturbing the public peace.
00:11:23
Speaker
Oh, my God. Well, the same said hats were responsible for a lot of problems in Canada, um like 150, 200 years ago.
00:11:35
Speaker
All of the beaver skin wars, no beaver skins were most, vast proportion of beaver skins were used to make ah top hats.
00:11:46
Speaker
Yep. That's why they were hunted. And almost like caused wars between the English and the French to to keep hold of that, you know, protect that market. Right, so Manhattan itself, one of the main industries was was was the beaver pelts for top hats that they would, so they would go upstate, right, and then they would like hunt and then they'd bring them all down into New York and then they'd go off into into into into Europe.
00:12:20
Speaker
And half the that the beaver, You know, on Broadway, you know, that that saying on Broadway, well, that is ah long road that that goes up through Manhattan. And that is the old path that the beaver hunters would take go away to to go upstate.
00:12:43
Speaker
Does it still smell of beaver? it's It's heavy beaver. It's heavy beaver territory still, especially when you get around like that that Times Square area. Right, course.
00:12:58
Speaker
course, yeah, I know i guess. and While we're on New York, I will tell you a little short story. ah in ah In the autumn of...
00:13:11
Speaker
1922, there were the New hat riots. 1822 1922? 1922. Did say 18? 1922, the New York hat riots.
00:13:17
Speaker
and So what was happening that there was push for people to not wear straw and to go over to like silk and felt nineteen twenty two the ninety twenty two on new york pat writes so what was happening was was that there was a big push for people to not wear straw hats and to go over to like silk and felt by And at the end of the summer, you were supposed to switch away from the from yeah from the straw.
00:13:47
Speaker
But the workers protested obviously, you know, these other the hats were like more right it more work but more we more expensive. So they carried on wearing their straw hats into the fall.
Hats in Daily Life and Personal Expression
00:14:00
Speaker
ah and And there were gangs who would just knock off people's hats and the fights broke out. Okay. That's amazing. I like that. It reminds me, I don't know why, probably no reason at all, other than the fact that I have ADHD, but it reminds me of the story about the straight bananas and the curved bananas.
00:14:21
Speaker
There were riots and there was like protests in the Caribbean because they there was someone decided that the the English like straight bananas were and The problem with straight bananas is that they there's that you you actually can – it hinders the crop and you can't you can't make as much – they weren't making as much money as they were with bendy bananas.
00:14:44
Speaker
So they went on strike. Yeah. Perceptions, I suppose. Dumb perceptions. and and Yeah. I see. yeah I mean, so i I see, Paul. Very interesting banana facts.
00:15:00
Speaker
I'm a bit worried that you see because the light suggests that we you might be, you know, ah you might have ADHD as well as me. Is that true? No, mate. No. Oh, okay.
00:15:12
Speaker
You're denying it. so It's all a lie. um i What was I going to say? Hats. I don't know. Yes. So, I mean, my big thing about hats is, and anyone on TikTok who follows me will know, I have two hat seasons.
00:15:32
Speaker
In the summer, it is the baseball caps, and then I switch over in in the fall to the humble beanie, and then I'll wear and i'll wear a beanie until it gets hot again.
00:15:49
Speaker
and that's And that's like... but that's Is that since you moved to America, have you been contaminated? No, it's it's because since since I've been here, i've I've had less and less hair.
00:16:04
Speaker
Yes. And the the the winters here are pretty cold, not as cold as in Canada, obviously, but still pretty cold, so I have to have some ahead. And then in the summer, there is a lot of sun, so it just becomes practical.
00:16:23
Speaker
This is the reason why men wear more hats than women, because men have bald heads. That is true. there are i think a glad I saw somewhere globally there are slightly more hat sales to men than there are to women.
00:16:41
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, out there is. Yeah. I've done the research. I've done the research, mate. I've done the research. i there was I think some of it might be linked also, you know, the perception of of us men. If you lose your hair, you're losing some element of virility and therefore sexual desire.
00:17:01
Speaker
Not me, mate. Not me. Not me. No, me neither. on the peak. Wasn't my opinion. Yes.
00:17:13
Speaker
Yeah, I always think of you as being a a man of particular virility, Martin. that You know, that's... Like an example of virility. That's what my mum said as well.
00:17:25
Speaker
Okay. Okay. Yeah, I can imagine us doing that. Okay. No, Marty, you're a hunk.
00:17:35
Speaker
Oh, I've got here, the inventor of the bowler hat was a man called Edward Coke. I don't know why that's irrelevant. He would drink Coke out out of it? What?
00:17:47
Speaker
Oh, here's a fact. Here's interesting fact. Wild West. What hat would you associate with the Wild West? Obviously. Not mo Wild Martin West.
00:17:59
Speaker
Wild West. Wicky, wicky, wild, wild. You know, West. um i would i would i would I would obviously think of the Stetson, right?
00:18:11
Speaker
The kind of classic cowboy Stetson or the Clint Eastwood kind of weird brimmed hat thing. Why? There's the bowler hat vastly outsold the Stetson in the Wild West.
00:18:27
Speaker
Now you say it. Now you say it. Yeah. Isn't it funny? I like that kind of stuff. I like this kind of facts. You know, with this strong, I guess because the wide brain hat, it shouts a little bit more.
00:18:42
Speaker
It's a little bit more, you know, don't know. It's a bit more prominent as ah as a symbol. But, yeah, it's the thingy.
00:18:53
Speaker
So, yeah. I know that Abraham Lincoln used to keep keep the papers and in his stave pipe hat. Did Yeah, so it was it was his it was his touch it was hisir can't send out his his's stationary closet, cupboard.
00:19:16
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, he probably had us a some post-it notes up there, staplers, rulers. um Bulldog clips. Yeah, absolutely. It was all up there um in his hat.
00:19:33
Speaker
but going Going back to the like um um psychology of hats, I found that if i if I'm in a bad mood, Martin, and you probably find that impossible to imagine.
00:19:46
Speaker
It's like every fucking podcast, mate. Every podcast. you're You're such a grumpy... yep like If I put this hat... so i if i If I'm in a bad mood, i can I'll go and um trick my brain into thinking, no, I'm not in a bad mood by putting on one of my favourite hats.
00:20:09
Speaker
All right. So you can improve your overall yes happiness. Yeah, it's suppose my trickery. Your mood. Yeah.
00:20:21
Speaker
I like that. I don't have any fun hats. I used to have like a very, just think about some of the hats that I've had in the past. I had a very, had a kind of a top hat. It was like a felt top hat in, in, in dark green.
00:20:38
Speaker
It was like a big top hat thing. Well, you know, Paul, back in the, late 90s when we would like go to festivals right right and we'd be up dancing and doing all the fun festival things and you'd buy festival hats in wild crowd pleasing moves Yeah.
00:21:01
Speaker
Yeah. With hats. Yeah. With hats. Yeah. I would i would often buy crazy fun hats at festivals. Okay. Yeah. Okay. right All right. Well, that's another discussion, is it Because I generally, when I rocked up at a festival, ah generally after like the second day, would just like to say goodbye to every all my friends, including you.
00:21:26
Speaker
And then we'd meet up a couple of days later. Goodbye. and exchange And exchange stories. Yeah. You know. It be about it. So I probably missed at least a couple of days of your hat heart hat hat-wearing shenanigans.
00:21:43
Speaker
Mm-hmm. There's like a hole in my knowledge of, you know, you and your hats. Missed there, mate. Missed out, mate. Missed out a lot, big time. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
00:21:55
Speaker
um What else we got? What else we got? He says, vamping for time. that I think um'm that's me all used up on hats. All right. All right.
00:22:07
Speaker
So I think it would be interesting to know for the people at home or in your car or whatever, drinking your cup of tea. um Are you a hat person? Do you do you wear hats? but Yeah.
00:22:20
Speaker
What hats do you like? Let Right. You know what? I think actually there is... I put up a post saying that that i trent that I was transitioning sounds bad i'm transitioning oh um this is you from a baseball. I know. This is news. What are you transitioning into, Martin?
00:22:41
Speaker
What is it this week? Into a beanie hat. So I was trans i was tave i was transitioning from a baseball cap to the beanie hat. And I had comments on It was like, oh, my...
00:22:52
Speaker
My boyfriend has just transitioned to that, but my ex-husband hasn't trans transitioned to. So I think actually it is might might be more of a general thing than I thought that… The that American guys, maybe, you know, baseball hats, summer, beanies, winter. And there's a there's a swap over.
00:23:15
Speaker
And then once I swapped over, I'm not going back. I'm not going back. Something happens between food something over the Atlantic Ocean. Something happens with hats and hat wearing.
00:23:29
Speaker
Yeah. I like hats. So there we go. I want to say, I like hats. I like hat shop. All right. There we go. Have you been into a hat shop? Have you been into a hat shop?
00:23:42
Speaker
and into hattery no ah yes I have been into a hat shop yes yes there are I did have some so statistics about how many hat shops there were in the world but I've lost it now there's a couple in Milan there's this's one near me ah There's a couple near me. Actually, where I bought this hat was ah ah just a general fashion shop, clothes shop, and they happened to have hats.
00:24:15
Speaker
Yeah. But yeah, hat shop are kind of interesting places. Yeah. I mean, the thing is, I'd like to, yeah, be good to know about, because most of our listeners are women.
00:24:25
Speaker
So, you know, women and hats is probably a whole different story. Oh yeah. I mean like, uh, where, yeah. but Yeah. Like, uh, not, not so much in this country, but certainly if, if you're in the UK, if you go to a wedding,
00:24:44
Speaker
then that's when all the hats come out, right? That's when you get your hat Yeah, which always found a bit of a bit i was a bit ah found a bit um sad that times we really get the hats out is when it's like you know Ascot Day, you know horse racing and and weddings.
00:25:03
Speaker
Horse racing and
Interactive Elements and Listener Engagement
00:25:04
Speaker
our weddings. Why? what's all that about? Yeah, don't know. All right. Well, let's get into the tractor. because we're going to go to um a Alexandra's Haunted Inn for the next part of our podcast. let Yes. Let's just get in.
00:25:26
Speaker
Make our way over. um
00:25:40
Speaker
Now then, um Alexandra isn't isn't here, but she did leave a note, and the note was um about something that she wanted to put into Room 101.
00:25:52
Speaker
Okay. So last week's episode, if you don't know, we did Room 101, which is a place where Paul and I put five things each um that that we would banish from the world.
00:26:06
Speaker
and put it into Room 101. So she's got some things for that. And I thought, you know what? I'm going to collect up some of the listeners' things that they want to put in Room 101. So we'll do a listener episode um in a and in about two or three weeks' time.
00:26:25
Speaker
Because we were thinking before we came um on online and week before we we went live – We're talking about having maybe ADHD 101 being a kind of a monthly feature.
00:26:39
Speaker
I think so. um It could be. but So as we were at the Haunted Inn and as it's kind of like spooky season is upon us, is it upon you in
Spooky Season Quiz and Conclusion
00:26:52
Speaker
Italy? Not like It's Halloween a thing. like not in and Not like it in the States.

Yeah. They still, kids do trick and treat. But um it's not like, they don't go crazy for it. You kind of like get a couple of groups of kids knocking on your door.
00:27:10
Speaker
All right. Of an evening. Well, thought I would do a little one. I would do a quick, I would do like a quick ah ghost-themed quiz.
00:27:23

Speaker
Last week, right? Yeah. Room 101, we talked about, I talked about pens, okay? Yes, yes.
00:31:03

And one of one of the comments that you said about pens was that you had to, was that you had to, is that you had to blow, can't even say it, you had to blow. Oh, blow on the end of the pen. On the pen and then even yeah lick it to kind of get it going.
00:31:24
