Speaker 1: This podcast is being recorded and produced on gadiicol Land.
Speaker 2: We pay our respects to the traditional custodians of this
Speaker 2: country and elders past present.
Speaker 1: We extend our respect to any First nations Aboriginal and
Speaker 1: Torres Strait island of people joining.
Speaker 2: Us today, always was, always will be Aboriginal Land. How
Speaker 2: do we start close? Friends, it's been so long? Do
Speaker 2: we do anything?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do a little intro at the start.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you found in your gives friend? Fuck it,
Speaker 2: it's close, friends, Let's move on. Let me tell you
Speaker 2: I was saying in the main episode that I wanted
Speaker 2: to do my Matt's round of the Wig. Now, Hannah produce, Hannah,
Speaker 2: please if I may, do we have a better fucking song?
Speaker 2: We don't.
Speaker 1: By the way, no one has messaged me about that
Speaker 1: little song. Has anyone messaged you?
Speaker 2: No? What about like the math.
Speaker 1: Of the work, Like, no one has said anything about it?
Speaker 2: Is it still on every episode that I do a
Speaker 2: rounds on the broadcast channel?
Speaker 1: What is there on? Think of it? Let's just play
Speaker 1: it now for fun, go.
Speaker 2: MAT's rid of the Week. Oh my god, Like it's
Speaker 2: actually it's the most off brand thing I think I've
Speaker 2: ever seen in it makes.
Speaker 1: It so funny. We need to get a little snippet
Speaker 1: of it so you can put in the broadcast. Now.
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk about this in my rant of
Speaker 2: the week in the main episode, but we've saved it
Speaker 2: for Close Friends. I can get into it. It's about
Speaker 2: a trend that I saw while we were on break
Speaker 2: and I couldn't wait to come here and talk about it.
Speaker 2: But of course with my rants, it's always a little
Speaker 2: different to I think where you think it's going to go.
Speaker 2: And I have something to say, which I've actually not
Speaker 2: been brave enough to say on the internet. I have
Speaker 2: made a video two with this opinion, and then I've thought,
Speaker 2: you know what, do I just hold off a little
Speaker 2: bit because maybe I don't know how people are going
Speaker 2: to respond to this. And as we've said, what have
Speaker 2: we said.
Speaker 1: Brittany, this is the close Friends.
Speaker 2: Oh I was gonna say that this is a podcast.
Speaker 2: I feel like I can't get canceled for anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I mean. Like this is the little
Speaker 1: quiet corner of the Internet.
Speaker 2: Yes, safe, safe, little pocket, safe space, safe space. You know,
Speaker 2: we listen and we don't judge. So we need to
Speaker 2: talk about the TikTok tan line trend in Australia. And
Speaker 2: you know what, I have an opinion on this that
Speaker 2: might shock you. This might get me canceled. Okay, I
Speaker 2: don't care. Three words, doll, I don't care.
Speaker 1: Okay, more context.
Speaker 2: And what I mean by that is if you are
Speaker 2: dumb enough to go out and sit in the sun
Speaker 2: in UV thirteen with no sunscreen on so that you
Speaker 2: can get your little tan lines on your chest. So
Speaker 2: many people on my full you page out baking themselves
Speaker 2: in the sum sun, all summer, all.
Speaker 1: In the name of getting a tan, all in.
Speaker 2: The name of getting a tan. And I think my
Speaker 2: opinion on this might shock you. And I still am
Speaker 2: a little nervous to talk about this because the thing
Speaker 2: is is that I have seen Daily Telegraph came out
Speaker 2: and they were like, you know, influences should be saying
Speaker 2: more content creators need to say more promote sun safety.
Speaker 2: I will say this and hear me out. Listen to
Speaker 2: the full episode before you cancel me. But like, I
Speaker 2: actually don't care. I couldn't give a fuck about these people.
Speaker 2: Not my job to tell them about sun safety, is it?
Speaker 1: Because like that everyone already clearly knows.
Speaker 2: They fucking should. And I understand that there are probably
Speaker 2: some very niche people or you know, certain groups of
Speaker 2: people who maybe not like maybe you.
Speaker 1: Maybe they have no idea.
Speaker 2: Maybe you have no idea because you don't speak English,
Speaker 2: or you weren't brought up with the messaging your whole
Speaker 2: life here in Australia. Maybe you are a tourist, so
Speaker 2: you don't know. Maybe I don't know. There's probably some
Speaker 2: instances where people don't know. But that's not who I'm
Speaker 2: seeing on my for you page.
Speaker 1: I'm saying I'm seeing twenty something you're on that definitely
Speaker 1: know better and like cancer and melanoma, yes, but yet
Speaker 1: they just actively choose. They're like, I think genuinely they
Speaker 1: would say, I don't care. I want a tan.
Speaker 2: If I was like, hey, like you know you can
Speaker 2: get a melanoma, they'd go, yeah, no bad, But like
Speaker 2: want I want to look cute.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they just don't cares. That is ignorance.
Speaker 2: They don't care, So I don't care. That's what I'm
Speaker 2: trying to say here. So I just love that like
Speaker 2: sometimes like these things happen in Australia around the world
Speaker 2: and everyone goes, well, the influences should be saying more
Speaker 2: about it. My job, love. They already fucking know, they
Speaker 2: already know.
Speaker 1: There are influences like the ones that are getting called out.
Speaker 2: Well true, actually, these.
Speaker 1: Are influencers that are doing this and getting the defined
Speaker 1: tan lines all in the name of what all in
Speaker 1: the name of just having a tan. You know that
Speaker 1: you can just do a fake tan. Yeah, hello, you
Speaker 1: can just do a fake tan. And also, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: come out and say it. Tan lines are fucking ugly
Speaker 1: right when I see these TikTok garlies and they've got
Speaker 1: a little single on and then I can see their
Speaker 1: whole to neck white and the little triangles that ruins
Speaker 1: every outfit you wear. Honestly, I'm gonna come out and
Speaker 1: say it. It doesn't look good. The only people that
Speaker 1: it looks good to is other idiots that go out
Speaker 1: and get those stupid tan lines.
Speaker 2: And I liken it to people who smoke a pack
Speaker 2: of day and then get lung cancer. You know what
Speaker 2: I mean? No, stick stick with me with you if
Speaker 2: you have never smoked a cigarette in your life or
Speaker 2: not many cigarettes, because I think we all probably have a
Speaker 2: fucking perfect one point. But like you know, you're not
Speaker 2: a full time smoker or whatever. You had a cigarette
Speaker 2: here or there and you end up with lung cancer.
Speaker 2: I'm devastated for you. That is that is horrible. I'm
Speaker 2: so sorry that that has happened to you. Cancer is
Speaker 2: a fucking horrible thing. I get it. I'm not saying
Speaker 2: I'm I'm not saying I hope all these people will
Speaker 2: get cancer, because that's not what I'm saying. All I'm
Speaker 2: saying is, you know, lung cancer. If you smoke two
Speaker 2: packs a day, like one of my family members, he
Speaker 2: smoked all of the time. He hands up with lung cancer.
Speaker 2: We all go, well, you took the wrist, Dalin. We're
Speaker 2: not like, do you know what I mean? I don't
Speaker 2: know whether the same goes.
Speaker 1: For like if you're laying in the sun and you
Speaker 1: know that you can get melanoma, yes, Like yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like we're gonna feel bad if someone gets melanoma, Like
Speaker 1: we don't wish that upon anyone. Yes, but like what
Speaker 1: do you expect if you're baking yourself in the sun
Speaker 1: on purpose?
Speaker 2: And that's what I mean by I don't care. Go
Speaker 2: out there, it's your funeral. Rest in peace, Stalin. Go
Speaker 2: out there and break yourself in the sun in your
Speaker 2: UV twenty five with your tanning oil on and all
Speaker 2: the rest.
Speaker 1: Of that can lines. Look shit, I'm sorry, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna say it. It ruins your whole outfit. You can
Speaker 1: have a cutest outfit on. If you got those white
Speaker 1: streaks on your chest, outfit ruined. Sorry, just do an
Speaker 1: even fake ten.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying, and I'm with you, Matt.
Speaker 1: I think the one thing and like why we see
Speaker 1: people saying like influencers need to speak about it more
Speaker 1: is like for the younger, younger generation because like obviously
Speaker 1: when we were young, skin cells in trauma, like that
Speaker 1: is ingrained into our head. Like you remember all those
Speaker 1: ads and it was like skin burning in the sun and.
Speaker 2: It was like I still sometimes see them though.
Speaker 1: For ages. But the thing is these little twelve year
Speaker 1: olds that are following the twenty year old TikTokers that
Speaker 1: are promoting tan lines, Like it's those kids that don't
Speaker 1: know and like they're following these influences and they have
Speaker 1: influence that we didn't when we were young. Like when
Speaker 1: we were young, we couldn't look up to fucking TikTokers
Speaker 1: because it just didn't exist, like we had Britney Spears
Speaker 1: on Rage Hits on a Saturday on our TV, so like,
Speaker 1: there's so much more heavily influenced now than when we
Speaker 1: were young, and yet it's on their parents and or
Speaker 1: caregivers to educate them. But they're looking up to people
Speaker 1: that are just promoting this shit. So I really think
Speaker 1: the one that we need to be pointing fingers out
Speaker 1: as the ones with the fucking tan lines. No offense,
Speaker 1: but grow the fuck up. Also, you're gonna look disgusting
Speaker 1: when you're older. The week now it is rand of
Speaker 1: the week, Make me and my own song. Yeah no,
Speaker 1: i'na like the number. Like, Okay, we're living in a
Speaker 1: world where everything is anti aging. We all want to
Speaker 1: look as young as possible. The number one way to
Speaker 1: make yourself look gold is to bake in the fucking sun.
Speaker 1: That is the number one cause of aging.
Speaker 2: The second is probably like you're vaping and you're smoking.
Speaker 2: You see all these people do in the ten step
Speaker 2: skincare routine and all the rest of them, then sucking
Speaker 2: on a blueberry skin at the club on.
Speaker 1: A weekend skincare routine with retinol and everything doesn't matter
Speaker 1: if you're vaping and laying in the sun, that is
Speaker 1: out the window. Literally throw out the fucking retinal and
Speaker 1: your salacilic acid. If you're laying in the sun and vaping,
Speaker 1: there is no point in doing a skincare routine.
Speaker 2: Just saying literally, oh my god, round of applause. Do
Speaker 2: so in saying all of this, speaking about it, I
Speaker 2: guess I have fed into the Daily Telegraph article that
Speaker 2: I saw about people having to you know, like calling
Speaker 2: up on influences.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're are here on the poet promoting at the
Speaker 1: end of the day. Yes, slip slap, slap, wear sunscreen,
Speaker 1: don't lay the sun.
Speaker 2: It's more now it's slip slop, slap, slay, slay. No,
Speaker 2: there's something else. Go Google girl. That's my first. Go
Speaker 2: Google girl. Of twenty twenty five. There's there's five of them. Now.
Speaker 2: I think it's slip slop, slap, spray or something like that.
Speaker 1: Seek shade and slide on sunglasses. Say that, quick, Matt,
Speaker 1: Go slip stop slap, seek shade and slide on sunglasses.
Speaker 2: Slip stop, slap, seek inside. Wait what yeah, slip stop, flap,
Speaker 2: sleep inside inside.
Speaker 1: Oh, I thought it was the whole thing.
Speaker 2: Slip stop, slap seat, slide, slide, slip slap slap, seek
Speaker 2: and slide, Yes, seek shade, slip on your sunglasses, slap
Speaker 2: and bong here so it's two slips. Slip on a hat,
Speaker 2: slap on clothing, Slip on clothing, slop on sbs, slap
Speaker 2: a hat, seek shade, slide on sunglasses. There you go
Speaker 2: and smock up as well. Get when a Lauren Curtis
Speaker 2: is smock up, smock smock? What the smock? She should
Speaker 2: have called it?
Speaker 1: That?
Speaker 2: What the smock? Sun? Safe driving things? Which the gloves? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean fun very niche.
Speaker 1: Though makes sense though, Like again, like look at like
Speaker 1: truck driver's hands, Like there you can see the sun
Speaker 1: damage because our hands are just so exposed to the sun.
Speaker 1: Like I every now and then we'll put sunscreen on
Speaker 1: my hands when I remember, but I always forget. So
Speaker 1: I'm all for like protecting our hands or like even
Speaker 1: your right arm, because you always put it, like on
Speaker 1: the window.
Speaker 2: Aren't windows like UV protected them? No they're not.
Speaker 1: No, whoa wow, even if it's tinted, it's not.
Speaker 2: I've learnt so much today that's crazy.
Speaker 1: Actually, Yeah, even like older people if you look at
Speaker 1: their arms their right arms always more freckly and like
Speaker 1: got more sun damage just because we naturally put our
Speaker 1: arm up on the window without even realizing. Ah, so
Speaker 1: I'm all for like a driving room.
Speaker 2: It's funny though, older generations, I reckon like my because
Speaker 2: my granddad always did the driving and my grandma didn't
Speaker 2: really drive much, so her left arms probably because she
Speaker 2: was a passenger.
Speaker 1: Her left arm a passenger princess.
Speaker 2: I have to look at Grandma. I'm seeing her this week.
Speaker 2: It's actually today when this close friend's episode goes out
Speaker 2: to be granddad's anniversary from passing way. Sorry to bring
Speaker 2: the mood down everyone, but if you're listening to this
Speaker 2: on Friday, I'll probably be at the cemetery. So was
Speaker 2: it melanim and nobody did have that? And so he
Speaker 2: had like six different cancers? Was he wasn't smoking though
Speaker 2: he was a good boy. Never got the lung cancer,
Speaker 2: but he got the prostrate and the melanim and I
Speaker 2: can't remember what else. Fuck cancer, but yeah, fuck cancer
Speaker 2: for sure. Anyway, that's enough of that. Don't sit out
Speaker 2: in the sun, you fucking idiots. And God bless him
Speaker 2: be gay.
Speaker 1: We'll see you next Tuesday.
