0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.560
<v Speaker 1>This podcast was recorded and produced on gadigal Land.

0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:05.400
<v Speaker 2>We would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians and pay

0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:07.240
<v Speaker 2>our respect to Elder's past and present.

0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:10.719
<v Speaker 3>Ladies and gentlemen, Can I please have your attention? This

0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:14.200
<v Speaker 3>is my final MATHS related interview. Are they talking about me?

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 3>She's like, yep.

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:19.119
<v Speaker 2>It was Australia's reactions because a lot of drama and

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:20.240
<v Speaker 2>they never got it.

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:23.760
<v Speaker 4>It just went nuts.

0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Hello and welcome back to another episode off back to reality.

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm Selena and I'm Tany and today we have, for

0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>the first time, in fact to reality history, our first

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:40.879
<v Speaker 1>ever non reality ya Pista. I big for us, very

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:42.879
<v Speaker 1>excited because this is not what I think you guys

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 1>would expect from us. If he's ever made it to

0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Legal Talk, which I am immersed in, you would probably

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:52.560
<v Speaker 1>recognize his face, if not his iconic mustache.

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:57.320
<v Speaker 1>But what I love about this particular guess is I'm

0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>not the sharpest tool in the shed. I'm the kid

0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 1>that sit next to Tarni and copy her work. But

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 1>the way this person explains things, he just it's so simple.

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>It's like if I can understand anyone can understand it.

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>He breaks down celebrity cases like the Justin Baldoni and

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:18.120
<v Speaker 1>like Lively from like how to Claim Insurance claim if

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:19.119
<v Speaker 1>a Hurricane's drunk?

0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, like with Naughty.

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Stars mass So we thought, why not have the man,

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 1>the myth, the legend. Jihan Kalanta Welcome, what an intro.

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 3>Thank you for having me. Can you guys follow me everywhere?

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 4>Let's get into it.

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I think it'd be great to give the audience a

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.119
<v Speaker 2>little context about you and how you got started in

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 2>the legal industry, because it's personally something I'm quite interested

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 2>in and I just love to hear how you got

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 2>there and then the transition to this social TikTok ozzy

0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 2>lawyer space.

0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 4>Love it.

0:01:58.200 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, look up. So I've been a lawyer now for

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 3>I think thirteen years. I kind of came into it

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 3>after a career in banking. I didn't really like it,

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 3>and I went to law school post banking, and I

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 3>kind of fell sort of into this practice of criminal defense,

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 3>family law, sort of clients that have faces and clients

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:17.640
<v Speaker 3>that have stories, and I really enjoyed it. And I've

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 3>been doing that for pretty much NonStop for thirteen years,

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 3>in different capacities, in different practice areas. But about five

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 3>years ago. You guys probably remember during the COVID nineteen pandemic.

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 3>Essentially we had a huge reshuffle here in Sydney and

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.800
<v Speaker 3>every day at eleven am, the Premier would come out

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 3>and be like, hey, these many people are dead, this

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 3>people are sick. Here's a new law by and would

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.359
<v Speaker 3>bail And I was like, well, that didn't make any

0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 3>sense to me, and my practice is on hold, I've

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 3>got stuff. It was really stressful, and so I thought,

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to explain sort of how these rules work.

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:53.640
<v Speaker 3>And the first thing I did was I read a

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 3>really detailed LinkedIn article like no one read, no one

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 3>cared at all. And then there was this thing called

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 3>TikTok that was kind of popping off. Kids were doing

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:02.959
<v Speaker 3>dances on it. I thought I might explain like how

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 3>a LGAF concern works on TikTok, and like overnight I

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 3>got a hundred followers, which was crazy crazy. Yeah, that

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 3>was like unimaginable to me. So I just kept at it,

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 3>and slowly, over time, I've come to understand that people

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.920
<v Speaker 3>really need access to the justice system. They feel a

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 3>little bit overwhelmed, and I don't think that we as

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 3>lawyers are particularly good at communicating what information people need.

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 3>And so I've created sort of my TikTok channel and

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 3>across TikTok, install YouTube, sort of LinkedIn and other channels

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 3>kind of explaining the lord, making it a bit simpler

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 3>because it is complicated, but you don't need to know

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 3>the complicated part. You just need to understand the dynamics.

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.120
<v Speaker 3>And so that's what I try to do in my channels.

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:44.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we were talking off Mike before.

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 2>How I think when you think of like the legal

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 2>system or like lawyers, you think it's like a faceless person.

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 4>You're like, where would you actually go to look.

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:56.120
<v Speaker 2>For someone and like what like specializing field that they

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 2>are like you literally I'll go and look on TikTok

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 2>like lawyer for X, Whereas before you just would be

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 2>googling and the website like there's no one's faces on there.

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 2>You don't know who the person is representing you. And

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 2>it's especially when it's quite like personal things or whatever

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 2>the issue is, it's really hard to be like am

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 2>I gonna trust this person too?

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:15.840
<v Speaker 4>Am I going to go to jail?

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 3>Or like what you've made? And this is a story

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.599
<v Speaker 3>I always tell. We had a client that basically found

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.040
<v Speaker 3>us online and he came to a conference. And this

0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 3>is before the TikTok thing blew up. And I always

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 3>ask people like, why did you choose our law firm?

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 3>And he goes, well, it's really funny. I went to

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 3>like five different law firm sites because I was it

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 3>was an ip technical dispute about who owns the rights

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.679
<v Speaker 3>to something. And he goes, I went to five different

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 3>websites and four of them had like these lawyers like

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.600
<v Speaker 3>looking sad and angry, like you know, like, and then

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 3>there was your website and you seem like you were

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 3>smiling and happy and normal and like, I just wanted

0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 3>to chatter that someone. Yeah, And so I realized that

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:53.840
<v Speaker 3>from that experience that people there's going to be people

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 3>who see a smiley, happy, layering thing. That person doesn't

0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.479
<v Speaker 3>get it. They shouldn't, they don't, you know, they're not

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.480
<v Speaker 3>right lawyer for me. But there'll be other people who,

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.599
<v Speaker 3>just like you've said, they want to speak to a human,

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.160
<v Speaker 3>they want to see a face, They want to get

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:08.279
<v Speaker 3>someone who understands things, watches reality TV and is like

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.480
<v Speaker 3>a normal human being. And so I think it's really

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 3>important to spread the message that lawyers come in all stripes,

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 3>including weirdos like myself with funky mustaches.

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:16.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.039
<v Speaker 2>No, we'll speak of reality TV. Do you watch reality TV?

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 2>And what's your what's your favorite show?

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.600
<v Speaker 3>In our household? A lot of reality TV is watched

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:27.720
<v Speaker 3>mostly by my beloved wife.

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.919
<v Speaker 2>Your wife is beautiful, by the way, we love her.

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.280
<v Speaker 3>Big shout out to Hannah. She she should really be here.

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 3>She's she's the reality TV champion of the house. But

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.279
<v Speaker 3>a lot of it is watched over my shoulder. Love

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 3>is blind. Yeah, and we just last night last night

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.839
<v Speaker 3>she watched I observed, but she watched the wedding episode

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 3>and it was who stayed together and who didn't. So yes,

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.279
<v Speaker 3>a lot of reality TV show is watching our house.

0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:56.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I love so that.

0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Would you say that's your favorite show?

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 3>I must say if you want to me what mine

0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:01.720
<v Speaker 3>is too hot to handle?

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 3>You know what I mean, And I'll tell you why.

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.039
<v Speaker 3>Because you've got these people who are so attractive, they've

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 3>never been told no, and then they have to like

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 3>be old. It's fantastic. It's a social experiment like like

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 3>anything I've ever seen. Because they're not used to they're

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.840
<v Speaker 3>not used to hearing no and that is a wonderful

0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.039
<v Speaker 3>thing to see. It's like like watching a child being

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.159
<v Speaker 3>told like no, no, you can't go and you can't

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.280
<v Speaker 3>just draw on the walls. It's that but for adults.

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 4>And it seems like, guys, it's not that hard.

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:33.160
<v Speaker 3>Seriously, money on the table one hundred grand, just like

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 3>be good for ten days.

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Seriously, it's a lot of amount of money.

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 1>So what inspired you to make tiktoks to begin with?

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 2>With?

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:45.279
<v Speaker 4>Like all the subjects you talk about, Well, the thing

0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:45.599
<v Speaker 4>is I.

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 3>Didn't know what people were weren't interested in. And so

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.119
<v Speaker 3>one of the funny things is when you are sitting

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 3>in sort of the shoes of a lawyer, you think

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.479
<v Speaker 3>that people are like really interested in things like how

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 3>does the separation of powers doctrine work? And no one

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.080
<v Speaker 3>cares about that sort of stuff. What people like? The

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 3>number one question I got asked was can I drive barefeet?

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 3>With bare feet? Res A good question, right, can you?

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:09.640
<v Speaker 3>You can? As long as you control the vehicle, you can?

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.680
<v Speaker 3>And so what people were interested in was understanding things like, well, look,

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 3>how does how does the Justin Baldoni thing go down?

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.120
<v Speaker 3>How does the Johnny Depth thing go down? Yeah? What

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 3>you know what when you know, they get up and

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.480
<v Speaker 3>say objection, hearsay, what does that mean?

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And so you start to get really good at

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 3>understanding what people want to understand, and then you get

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 3>curious as well, like with the Johnny Depp thing, crazy.

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 2>The going on that, the whole seeing things in the

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 2>public forum. I think with that case specifically, I completely

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:42.440
<v Speaker 2>disagree with like that was so done botched, and I

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 2>just was like, this shit is not right, and I

0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 2>think it does sway public opinion and I think it

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 2>does impact Like I'm an amber heard girly like I

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 2>will be be there, like I know, I think they're

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 2>both done really bad things. I just think she was

0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 2>never going to win that battle, and I think she

0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 2>also lied about things which made it.

0:07:58.880 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 4>Worse for her.

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 2>And I'm just like, like, it just was awful to

0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 2>watch the train wreck of that whole thing. Yeah.

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, And from a lawyer's perspective, my mindset was more like, Okay,

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.800
<v Speaker 3>you've got an article in the Washington Post about two

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:16.400
<v Speaker 3>Californian movie stars going through a divorce. Why are we

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 3>having a court case in Virginia and why is it

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.840
<v Speaker 3>being publicized in the world. That's an interesting question. League.

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 3>How do you end up in Virginia behind that? How

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 3>do you end up there? And so for me, I

0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 3>found that particularly fascinating. I found I mean, whether you

0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 3>like him or you hate him, and I think we

0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:37.679
<v Speaker 3>can both agree both of them are highly problematic, particularly

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 3>in that relationship context. But Johnny Dep's lawyers did a

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 3>fantastic job totally. They did a fantastic want them and

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.920
<v Speaker 3>you know, and the caliber of the witnesses you see,

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:51.720
<v Speaker 3>you'll never see something like that because most of the time,

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.440
<v Speaker 3>the people with the resources to play at that level

0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 3>they settle. They settle ninety nine point nine percent of

0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.400
<v Speaker 3>those cases. And so to be able to see that

0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 3>and see it play out in real time, it's like

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.719
<v Speaker 3>watching the oj trial, right, Like that's the only thing

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 3>I can kind of like, yeah, it's this it's this

0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.040
<v Speaker 3>circus that sways public opinion. And now we're seeing a

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 3>lot more of it, like you see the Asap Rocky

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:16.480
<v Speaker 3>case with you know, the Megan the Stallion with Tory Lanes.

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:21.319
<v Speaker 3>It's it's becoming more of spectacle justice. And I think

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.319
<v Speaker 3>that's something that's gonna it's going to be a thing

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 3>that happens. We have to get better at understanding how

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.680
<v Speaker 3>we can make sure that we don't lose we don't

0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 3>lose justice in the spectacle.

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 1>You had a look over the Maths contract and you

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 1>spoke about this on your tip.

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:40.720
<v Speaker 4>I love that video. We referenced it in one of

0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:42.079
<v Speaker 4>our first episodes.

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Actually, yeah, because I was like, it's I've never seen

0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 2>a lawyer speak about the contract ever before. And so

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 2>when I was like, oh, you've actually seen it, be like,

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm dying to get your thoughts on it, and just

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.520
<v Speaker 2>one the most concerning clause that you saw.

0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So look, I won't tell you who engaged me.

0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 3>I won't tell you what season. I don't know if

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 3>it's evolved. And I get what you're saying. It's like saying, hey,

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 3>someone's all big foot, Like it's real. I've told you,

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:15.040
<v Speaker 3>but you know you're gonna like, yeah, it's true. What

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.679
<v Speaker 3>I'll say is this, I've read a lot of Look,

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:21.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm not an employment sorry, I'm not in a entertainment lawyer.

0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 3>I've seen a lot of contracts. The thing that's jumped

0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 3>out at me is the first page is in plain English,

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.720
<v Speaker 3>and it's basically like a warning you get on a

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 3>can of bug spray like you will be portrayed however

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 3>we want, we own you, like do like be very

0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 3>cautious of what you sign. And that to me was

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.800
<v Speaker 3>something quite unusual, And I mean good on them for

0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 3>at least like putting the label up front and letting

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 3>you know. But things like you know we're going to

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.199
<v Speaker 3>record you. You may not be aware that we're recording

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.479
<v Speaker 3>you as a part of that particular contract. It's staggering.

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.679
<v Speaker 3>Like it's really genuinely staggering. And like when you look

0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 3>at particularly, I think a lot of people think, oh,

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:00.880
<v Speaker 3>you go on reality TV. It's going to be like

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.839
<v Speaker 3>a couple of hours of filming a day. It's gonna

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.720
<v Speaker 3>be like pretty chill. They get really good money. Nah,

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.880
<v Speaker 3>It's it's like it's like the work of a galley slave.

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 3>Like you're working twelve, thirteen, fourteen hour days being paid

0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:18.240
<v Speaker 3>like basically minimum wag. Yeah, very few, very few of

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.920
<v Speaker 3>the off the safeguards you'd have in a standard employment

0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:25.320
<v Speaker 3>contractor there. And basically they are telling you, like, based

0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.080
<v Speaker 3>on how we feel, we very well may portray you

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.640
<v Speaker 3>in a way that is completely disingenuous to who you

0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 3>actually are, and we may very well destroy your life.

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.640
<v Speaker 3>So to me, it is I can understand why people

0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 3>sign the thing because like, you know, you've got a shot.

0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.240
<v Speaker 3>You gotta you know, you gotta sometimes you got to

0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 3>risk it for way Ski podcast. So it worked out

0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.680
<v Speaker 3>to Yeah, it worked out few to you and you guys,

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.599
<v Speaker 3>that's a testament to your tenacity and your intelligence you

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.920
<v Speaker 3>pilate it correctly. But and I also think a lot

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 3>of people think like you just go on the show

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.320
<v Speaker 3>and then that's it, Like as soon as the show's done,

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.160
<v Speaker 3>you just answer phone calls. Oh yeah, sure, I'll do

0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:00.599
<v Speaker 3>that endorsement dealt.

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.199
<v Speaker 4>And it's just not realistic at all.

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.439
<v Speaker 3>It's a springboard. It's a springboard, and that's still.

0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.439
<v Speaker 4>Ask but I think they do.

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.720
<v Speaker 2>They can kind of wave that around people as like

0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:14.560
<v Speaker 2>a you and I remember from out like briefing chats,

0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:16.080
<v Speaker 2>like they would be like, if you want to be

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 2>like X y Z couples from the show all these people,

0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:20.600
<v Speaker 2>you need to listen to what we tell you. And

0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 2>that's the kind of general sentiment you have going into it.

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.560
<v Speaker 2>And I was always very and I think we've had

0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:30.199
<v Speaker 2>conversations about this very realistic. I'm like, Okay, I might

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.000
<v Speaker 2>look like an idiot. I need to just behave their

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:34.640
<v Speaker 2>way I would in real life, and then if people

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 2>don't like me who I am, I would have to

0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:37.720
<v Speaker 2>have to deal with that. The only thing is I

0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 2>was like, if they don't like me for something that's

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 2>not who I am, is where I'm going to have

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:41.560
<v Speaker 2>a problem.

0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:43.959
<v Speaker 4>But it's it's the roll of the dice.

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Right, And I say high risk, high reward, but extremely

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 2>high risk, and only such a small percentage of people

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 2>can even sustain their normal job even after the fact, right,

0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Because I think there's not I guess again it's all

0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.120
<v Speaker 2>in the contract, but I don't think there's a seriousness

0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.000
<v Speaker 2>of like, hey, you probably shouldn't be a lawyer, a teacher,

0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 2>a certain careers. If you go on maths, I would

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 2>be like, oh, there should be a list of careers

0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:10.920
<v Speaker 2>to have that you should never ever ever go on

0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.240
<v Speaker 2>a show because it's like, yeah, you're probably not going

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.320
<v Speaker 2>to work in that field again, even if you look good.

0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:20.800
<v Speaker 2>It's just not really appropriate. And I don't think there's

0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:23.840
<v Speaker 2>that like really intricate unless you're speaking to someone like

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:27.360
<v Speaker 2>yourself or like family and friends that are educating the space,

0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:28.120
<v Speaker 2>you just wouldn't know.

0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 3>I spent hours trying to persuade my client not to

0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.439
<v Speaker 3>go on this show. He was a smart guy. I

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.120
<v Speaker 3>knew him, he was a nice person. I spent a

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.719
<v Speaker 3>lot of energy telling him, don't do this. He did

0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:43.720
<v Speaker 3>it anyway, right, So you can you know, I advise

0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 3>you decide. That's the role. That's my role, right, I

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:50.640
<v Speaker 3>advise you decide. Fundamentally, it speaks to I think exactly

0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:52.920
<v Speaker 3>what you're saying, which is the what's not in the

0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 3>contract and what's not in the contract? Are those conversations? Listen,

0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 3>you want to be like this person, don't you like?

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 3>This person's gone on to have such a della career.

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.160
<v Speaker 3>They were on this show and they did what I said.

0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.080
<v Speaker 3>So if you follow the formula, you're going to be fine.

0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:09.719
<v Speaker 4>She's like one in a hundred yea, right.

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Do you think the contestants have like any grounds

0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 1>to fight the contract after the fact?

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:16.000
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:19.240
<v Speaker 3>You you it's a I think pretty tight. It's pretty

0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:22.600
<v Speaker 3>water tight. It's designed to be read and understood, and

0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 3>there's a time to have those negotiations. But I think

0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 3>that the power disparity is so substantial, right, because if

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:29.880
<v Speaker 3>you say no, I'm not going to sign this I

0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 3>want to change this. They go, no problem by and

0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 3>get put in someone else. Right, So it's a it's

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.200
<v Speaker 3>a seller's market. They can do as they wish. Yeah,

0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 3>And so I think it is a very much take

0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 3>it or leave a type situation. The only exception to

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.480
<v Speaker 3>that would be, let's say you're a high profile person

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:45.960
<v Speaker 3>coming into maths.

0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 4>Especially if they've approached you.

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.760
<v Speaker 2>I think it's different if you've applied versus you being scouted,

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:54.040
<v Speaker 2>because I know there were whispers of this conversation of

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 2>certain like things being relaxed. I don't know where things eventuated,

0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.480
<v Speaker 2>but people that were a roach or being asked multiple

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 2>times they were able to like tighten a couple things

0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:05.480
<v Speaker 2>in their favor.

0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 3>I think you should always always, whenever you're given a contract,

0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 3>you should always get legal advice on it. You should

0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.160
<v Speaker 3>always push back, even if that means you lose the opportunity,

0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 3>so be it. Right. I always say, if someone's not

0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.400
<v Speaker 3>willing to negotiate with you before they're in a relationship

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.280
<v Speaker 3>with you, they're not going to negotiate when they're in

0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 3>the relationship, right, So period, that's really simple. Right. So

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.400
<v Speaker 3>the dynamic bit that defines the relationship before entering it

0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 3>is going to define it during Yeah.

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:31.720
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely.

0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:36.200
<v Speaker 2>And what advice would you give people looking to sign

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.120
<v Speaker 2>a contract like this, whether it's maths, whether it's another

0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:40.120
<v Speaker 2>reality TV show?

0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 4>What would be your like number one advice.

0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:45.320
<v Speaker 3>Go speak to a lawyer, Go speak to a lawyer,

0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 3>Tell me about yours. It also depends on the individual, right,

0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 3>Like should say you are a you know, you're a

0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:54.720
<v Speaker 3>well respected and regarded teacher, and there's a possibility that

0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:56.680
<v Speaker 3>you're never going to be able to work in that field. Again,

0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 3>that's a very different situation than you're like an eighteen

0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:01.800
<v Speaker 3>year old and like this is what you have your

0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.640
<v Speaker 3>heart set on. You really haven't really gone out there

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.960
<v Speaker 3>and tried other things. Very different, Yeah, very very different.

0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.480
<v Speaker 3>And so you have to basically understand your client and

0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:12.520
<v Speaker 3>understand the contract and make sure that it makes sense.

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:14.760
<v Speaker 3>But get advice. Yeah, definitely get advice.

0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.280
<v Speaker 2>I didn't do this, but I think it's beneficial for

0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:21.120
<v Speaker 2>future cast to reach out to past participants, especially the

0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:24.000
<v Speaker 2>ones that they might want to emulate a career that

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:24.480
<v Speaker 2>they've had.

0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.520
<v Speaker 4>It's I find interesting when I.

0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.880
<v Speaker 2>See people go to like the villains or like the

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 2>people that didn't have a good experience, as if it

0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.560
<v Speaker 2>would kind of help them pave a path that would

0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:36.440
<v Speaker 2>be different to the people that they're asking of.

0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:38.840
<v Speaker 4>So I find that interesting.

0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I always think like when you have these resources like

0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 2>go get legal advice, which we found like a lot

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 2>of people just didn't do. Like I feel like in

0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.320
<v Speaker 2>my season, I was like one of the only ones

0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 2>even had the lawyer like look over it, and it's

0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 2>just like that's crazy to me, Like I don't think

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:54.200
<v Speaker 2>I've had a contract that I haven't even had like

0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:55.280
<v Speaker 2>my dad like.

0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:56.680
<v Speaker 4>Give it, you know.

0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Like it's like the contracts scare me, and I think,

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:02.160
<v Speaker 2>especially something like this, there's nothing scary than something like

0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:03.160
<v Speaker 2>this type contract.

0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 3>It's look, I'm telling you, I look at contracts all day,

0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:08.960
<v Speaker 3>and I look at big contracts. We're talking sales of

0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:12.960
<v Speaker 3>multimillion dollar properties and whatnot. This is a big scary contract,

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 3>Like it's intimidating.

0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:16.639
<v Speaker 4>I was naughty. I didn't care to do that.

0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I looked over at myself, but yeah, I guess like

0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:23.120
<v Speaker 1>COVID time, that's when my show was on, and I

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.800
<v Speaker 1>was so desperate to find my husband, Like I was

0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.320
<v Speaker 1>just blinded by anything else. So even if a lawyer

0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:31.760
<v Speaker 1>had said to me. You know, it probably still would

0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 1>have just been like, what, I'm gonna meet my soul mate?

0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:36.840
<v Speaker 3>You know yourself, right, And there's something to be said

0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:38.960
<v Speaker 3>for that. There's something to be said for Look, I'm

0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.919
<v Speaker 3>that gung ho on this that nothing you say is

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.080
<v Speaker 3>going to dissuade me. And look, sometimes I've been wrong.

0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:46.080
<v Speaker 3>I've told people to Like there's been deals where I

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:47.720
<v Speaker 3>been like, you shouldn't do this, and then they did it.

0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:50.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, it ended up really really good. So all

0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.840
<v Speaker 3>I can do is advise based on today. Yeah, but

0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:55.800
<v Speaker 3>I think you also need to understand yourself. But at

0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:59.160
<v Speaker 3>the very least going to someone and knowing, hey, they're

0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.800
<v Speaker 3>going to do these eighteen things that I didn't expect.

0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:04.760
<v Speaker 3>I better keep my If I was on the show,

0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:08.120
<v Speaker 3>I would just be taking a sobriety break. I would

0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:08.800
<v Speaker 3>not be drinking.

0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:09.520
<v Speaker 2>I didn't.

0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:11.600
<v Speaker 4>I had no alcoholic wine. The whole time.

0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.760
<v Speaker 2>I was like, you were not catching me looking like

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:16.560
<v Speaker 2>a hot mess for the rest of my life.

0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:17.880
<v Speaker 4>No, there's no way.

0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.600
<v Speaker 2>So I had like not and I was just like, no,

0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:21.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm just not interested in that.

0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:25.920
<v Speaker 3>So smart, such a simple one, because you don't and

0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.080
<v Speaker 3>you're filming the same scenes over and over again. They

0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:31.720
<v Speaker 3>keep topping up the thing. Just there's so many little

0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:33.400
<v Speaker 3>simple tricks you could use. I think that would make

0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:34.440
<v Speaker 3>you experience slightly better.

0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:36.480
<v Speaker 1>We were in the most severe lockdown.

0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:37.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so there.

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Were no restaurants, pulb cafes to go to. We had,

0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:43.359
<v Speaker 1>like we call them our dog walkers. Like you were

0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:46.439
<v Speaker 1>only allowed out once a day for one hour with

0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:48.920
<v Speaker 1>a producer. You couldn't even go on a walk with

0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:52.440
<v Speaker 1>your partner. So alcohol is the only thing we had.

0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:53.480
<v Speaker 4>So we just.

0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Drank like little fishies. And that's why I think our

0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:57.800
<v Speaker 1>season was so explosive.

0:18:57.960 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, for sure.

0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:00.240
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, entertain.

0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:03.719
<v Speaker 2>Entertaining, well, we've seen this year a lot of the

0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:07.200
<v Speaker 2>participants go a bit rogue on socials, create accounts, which,

0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:11.160
<v Speaker 2>just to preface, there's your contract obligation with the production company.

0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Then there's also your Channel nine social media engagement contract,

0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:18.159
<v Speaker 2>which essentially signs away your usage of your socials to

0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:21.160
<v Speaker 2>them for like six months. They'll post on your behalf

0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:23.200
<v Speaker 2>that whole thing, and then you get the account back.

0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.760
<v Speaker 2>And we've noticed a lot of people this year not

0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:28.480
<v Speaker 2>do that because I thought we didn't really have a

0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:30.800
<v Speaker 2>choice to kind of caught it and you just thought, oh,

0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:31.160
<v Speaker 2>I have.

0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:35.359
<v Speaker 4>To do this otherwise I don't know, And we've seen.

0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Quite a bit of the cast go so rogue ruin

0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:43.760
<v Speaker 2>storylines just completely go, just ruin the whole production essentially.

0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Do you think there's any grounds for Channel nine and

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:50.760
<v Speaker 2>ESA to sue them or Yeah, it definitely is.

0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:54.360
<v Speaker 3>I thought about this at some length. Why haven't they?

0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:57.440
<v Speaker 3>They probably haven't because it's good for ratings and right

0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:00.679
<v Speaker 3>now the Going Rogue has actually probably helped people about it,

0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:02.639
<v Speaker 3>so maybe that's why they haven't. But I think they

0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:04.520
<v Speaker 3>probably do have grounds to see if they wanted to.

0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:07.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I wonder I always wonder what would be their

0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:11.480
<v Speaker 2>like trigger point, because I feel like it's progressively gets

0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:12.200
<v Speaker 2>worse and worse.

0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I feel like by far I f feel

0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:17.919
<v Speaker 1>worse in terms of going rogue and leaking stuff.

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:21.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm not the demographic and it's hitting my channel right,

0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:24.800
<v Speaker 3>and so if it's hitting me, it's hitting everyone.

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it seems like nothing gets done about it. I

0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:30.440
<v Speaker 2>know there was people in my season that broke the rules. Yeah,

0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:32.400
<v Speaker 2>and then I was like, oh, well, there's no consequences

0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:34.440
<v Speaker 2>to it, so why did I not do that? But

0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:39.159
<v Speaker 2>also part of me kind of respects their courage to

0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:41.600
<v Speaker 2>be so vocal about their experience because it is hard.

0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:45.240
<v Speaker 2>I think typically if you were following the contract, following

0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:47.439
<v Speaker 2>what has been set out, you're not allowed to comment

0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:50.639
<v Speaker 2>on anything really, like when these storylines are happening, or

0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:51.640
<v Speaker 2>when you look bad, you can't.

0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 4>You have to just cop it.

0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:56.800
<v Speaker 2>So I think part of me does respect them being like, no, actually,

0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.720
<v Speaker 2>this is how it happened some people. I probably agree

0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:03.159
<v Speaker 2>with more others, but yeah, I think it's almost like

0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:05.200
<v Speaker 2>people are like biting back, which.

0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I know, Oh I just wait, just wait a few

0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:07.359
<v Speaker 1>more weeks.

0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:09.680
<v Speaker 2>People are still going to listen, Like, just wait out

0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:11.720
<v Speaker 2>for the season to air. People will still listen to

0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:12.480
<v Speaker 2>what you have to say.

0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:13.040
<v Speaker 4>Trust me.

0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:16.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think that it's a highly emotive thing, and

0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:18.760
<v Speaker 3>I can imagine if someone was portraying me in a

0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:21.480
<v Speaker 3>way that was disingenuous, I would want to get on

0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:24.960
<v Speaker 3>the front foot and be like, how dare you? Yeah,

0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:28.080
<v Speaker 3>the other side of it might be, you know, maybe

0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:31.000
<v Speaker 3>they think that they're the level of exposure because we

0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:32.800
<v Speaker 3>are all talking about it, like they have done a

0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:35.320
<v Speaker 3>fantastic job of getting us to talk about it, which

0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:38.480
<v Speaker 3>is why I think the downside of suing is do

0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:40.480
<v Speaker 3>you really want to stop people who are talking about this,

0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:43.200
<v Speaker 3>or maybe they've already threatened. Maybe it hasn't gotten anywhere.

0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:45.320
<v Speaker 3>Maybe it's because they've got other bigger fish to fry.

0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:47.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean, the police have been involved in this particular site.

0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Because I wonder what the what the grounds are there?

0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Because we're not employees, we're contributors. That's the way it's positioned.

0:21:57.200 --> 0:21:59.000
<v Speaker 2>So I feel like we don't actually have riots like

0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:02.159
<v Speaker 2>you can't. I would probably say, yeah, if it was

0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:05.160
<v Speaker 2>a traditional workplace, the way we were treated at times,

0:22:05.160 --> 0:22:08.440
<v Speaker 2>probably it wouldn't fly in a normal like environment.

0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:11.560
<v Speaker 3>Save you absolutely it wouldn't fly. You would absolutely be

0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:15.240
<v Speaker 3>filing cases in relevan jurisdictions. It's insane, right, you can't

0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:17.359
<v Speaker 3>treat people that way. You can't work them fourteen hours

0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:20.159
<v Speaker 3>a day for minimum wage and then portray them in

0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:22.159
<v Speaker 3>negative lights and tell them to do this and to

0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:24.920
<v Speaker 3>tell them to do that. Like it's it's pretty insane, right,

0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:28.320
<v Speaker 3>And the fact that the fact that they get away

0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:30.959
<v Speaker 3>with it season after season is I think leading to

0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:33.639
<v Speaker 3>it becoming slightly more extreme. If you watch it, to me,

0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:37.280
<v Speaker 3>the show is getting more extreme every season, right, like

0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:41.000
<v Speaker 3>things that fly now would never have flown five seasons ago.

0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:43.280
<v Speaker 3>And I think it's dangerous, right, I really do. I

0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:47.720
<v Speaker 3>mean it concerns me that there hasn't been more oversight

0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:49.840
<v Speaker 3>over it, you know, if you have people acting in

0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:53.480
<v Speaker 3>ways that are violent. I genuinely thought after that particular

0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:56.960
<v Speaker 3>incident there would have been like, Okay, you're leaving the show.

0:22:57.160 --> 0:23:01.080
<v Speaker 3>Australia has a domestic violence problem. This is completely unacceptable.

0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:04.040
<v Speaker 3>You should be you know, taught some consequences for your actions,

0:23:04.119 --> 0:23:06.520
<v Speaker 3>regardless of what your partner thinks about the particular situation.

0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Act this week.

0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:10.480
<v Speaker 3>Bye, yeah, that's what I thought, would you know, pop out?

0:23:10.520 --> 0:23:13.440
<v Speaker 2>But in regards to Paul punching the wall, yes, yeah,

0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:15.640
<v Speaker 2>this we did want to ask your opinion on this

0:23:15.720 --> 0:23:18.600
<v Speaker 2>because it's it's interesting to see because yes, like you mentioned,

0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:21.800
<v Speaker 2>like we're in a really dark time for DV in

0:23:21.880 --> 0:23:25.760
<v Speaker 2>this country alone, and I think being able to see it,

0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:27.760
<v Speaker 2>it could have been an opportunity to really talk about

0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:32.439
<v Speaker 2>it and like to share resources, do a decent trigger warning,

0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:35.280
<v Speaker 2>to really like educate on how no, the behavior is

0:23:35.320 --> 0:23:38.160
<v Speaker 2>not okay and what if the wall isn't there next time?

0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Or you know, and what actual services and stuff have

0:23:41.040 --> 0:23:42.680
<v Speaker 2>they given him after Like they said, Okay.

0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:45.240
<v Speaker 4>We're going to give you some resources, what are those?

0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Maybe share that with the audience, because say someone is

0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:51.400
<v Speaker 2>in a real life situation, like, hey, they've never done

0:23:51.440 --> 0:23:53.760
<v Speaker 2>it before and this is the first time they've acted out,

0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:56.680
<v Speaker 2>which my personal views on that is separate.

0:23:58.119 --> 0:23:59.720
<v Speaker 4>What what do they do? Where do they go? Where

0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:00.440
<v Speaker 4>are they help?

0:24:00.480 --> 0:24:03.639
<v Speaker 2>What's the strategy? Then I feel like that wasn't shown,

0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:05.439
<v Speaker 2>and that could have been like, Okay, if we're going

0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:08.560
<v Speaker 2>to keep him on, let's show Okay, if this happens

0:24:08.600 --> 0:24:10.960
<v Speaker 2>in your relationship, I don't know.

0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:12.760
<v Speaker 4>I feel like you don't stay personally.

0:24:12.800 --> 0:24:15.360
<v Speaker 3>I think you don't know. You don't because it escalates

0:24:15.400 --> 0:24:15.920
<v Speaker 3>and you die.

0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:18.840
<v Speaker 2>It's not serious.

0:24:18.560 --> 0:24:21.480
<v Speaker 3>It's very serious. Okay. Was she speaking to him in

0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:24.320
<v Speaker 3>a disrespectful manner? Maybe? Does that give you the right

0:24:24.359 --> 0:24:27.400
<v Speaker 3>to take hands on someone? No, it's pretty clear card.

0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:29.719
<v Speaker 3>These are binary things, right, And I think what I

0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:32.560
<v Speaker 3>think a lot is that that is underestimated is young

0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:35.720
<v Speaker 3>people are watching this and they're starting to see, oh, well,

0:24:35.760 --> 0:24:37.800
<v Speaker 3>it's okay. If he punches the wall and then says

0:24:37.840 --> 0:24:41.000
<v Speaker 3>sorry to me, that's okay, then Yeah, that's all right,

0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:44.400
<v Speaker 3>He's sorry, right, And what I've seen is the whole

0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:47.840
<v Speaker 3>spectrum of domestic violence on this episode, on this season. Sorry,

0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:52.040
<v Speaker 3>you've got physical, proper domestic violence, You've got coercive control

0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:57.040
<v Speaker 3>on the other side, basically on camera coercive control. Don't

0:24:57.080 --> 0:25:01.159
<v Speaker 3>you dare tell them about how I You've got experts like,

0:25:01.280 --> 0:25:03.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean this, why is it not being called a Seriously,

0:25:03.960 --> 0:25:07.280
<v Speaker 3>why is there not like the registered board coming and saying, sir,

0:25:07.640 --> 0:25:12.120
<v Speaker 3>You're witnessing on camera someone coercively controlling a young woman.

0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:14.760
<v Speaker 3>She's terrified. Why are you making her say things she

0:25:14.880 --> 0:25:16.879
<v Speaker 3>likes about him? This is not healthy or normal.

0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:18.720
<v Speaker 2>That didn't make sense to me, And I was like,

0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:21.159
<v Speaker 2>what is the thought process behind her then saying what

0:25:21.200 --> 0:25:22.840
<v Speaker 2>she likes to then catch her out being like she

0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:24.760
<v Speaker 2>doesn't like him or she wants to say Like I

0:25:24.800 --> 0:25:27.399
<v Speaker 2>didn't understand where that was going.

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:29.200
<v Speaker 4>And I was just like, and then it just ended.

0:25:29.400 --> 0:25:31.880
<v Speaker 3>I was naive. I thought this was a great opportunity

0:25:31.960 --> 0:25:35.400
<v Speaker 3>to show that there isn't anything you like about him.

0:25:35.440 --> 0:25:38.760
<v Speaker 3>You should leave this. Really, this is a great exercise

0:25:38.760 --> 0:25:42.639
<v Speaker 3>for people. Instead, it completely created the opposite sort of experience,

0:25:42.720 --> 0:25:45.840
<v Speaker 3>and like, if these experts don't have DV training. You

0:25:45.880 --> 0:25:48.480
<v Speaker 3>need experts to do because I'm telling you for me.

0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:51.280
<v Speaker 3>You know, I have younger siblings. I don't want them

0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:53.639
<v Speaker 3>to watch that and think this is an acceptable way

0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:56.879
<v Speaker 3>to treat your partner. You cannot punch walls because you're upset.

0:25:57.280 --> 0:25:59.640
<v Speaker 3>That's what a four year old does, not a grown

0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:03.000
<v Speaker 3>adult television and if that's how he behaves when television

0:26:03.000 --> 0:26:06.359
<v Speaker 3>cameras are on, respectfully, I have genuine concerns about what

0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:09.679
<v Speaker 3>happens when there's when there's no oversight. And secondly, you

0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:12.160
<v Speaker 3>don't speak to your partner that way. You don't gaslight

0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:15.639
<v Speaker 3>them in the way that that's happening. It's proper coercive control.

0:26:15.680 --> 0:26:17.040
<v Speaker 3>There's legislation design.

0:26:17.200 --> 0:26:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and this is like new stuff that's been implemented.

0:26:20.840 --> 0:26:23.640
<v Speaker 2>And it's interesting because going back to Paul, we obviously

0:26:23.680 --> 0:26:26.679
<v Speaker 2>saw it was his turn to share his experience and

0:26:26.720 --> 0:26:29.400
<v Speaker 2>like write a letter about how he feels about Karina,

0:26:29.440 --> 0:26:34.080
<v Speaker 2>and for him to say she's a jealous person, she's judgmentary,

0:26:34.400 --> 0:26:35.480
<v Speaker 2>gives me the ick.

0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:37.879
<v Speaker 4>And then all this stuff. I was like, jealous person,

0:26:37.960 --> 0:26:39.440
<v Speaker 4>But did you not punch your wall because you were.

0:26:39.400 --> 0:26:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Jealous that she slept sleeping with a wrapper, and then

0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:45.560
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna have the ike about her being upset you

0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:47.480
<v Speaker 2>staying with a woman for three nights.

0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:49.359
<v Speaker 4>It was so like typical.

0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Anyone that's been in situations of similar dynamics can recognize

0:26:52.480 --> 0:26:54.920
<v Speaker 2>his behavior. And I think it's really hard and from

0:26:54.920 --> 0:26:57.159
<v Speaker 2>my experience, until I was in it, you never realize

0:26:57.320 --> 0:26:59.400
<v Speaker 2>and until you're exposed to it, you will never know.

0:26:59.359 --> 0:26:59.840
<v Speaker 4>What it's like.

0:27:00.240 --> 0:27:02.800
<v Speaker 2>We're having opportunity now to be exposed to it. We

0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 2>need to then explain, hey, red flag, red flag, this

0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:08.320
<v Speaker 2>is really bad, because yeah, you don't You sometimes don't

0:27:08.359 --> 0:27:11.000
<v Speaker 2>know until you're in it, right, And I just think

0:27:11.000 --> 0:27:14.679
<v Speaker 2>there's not many other ways to have these conversations like

0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Maths is doing, and they just haven't really they missed

0:27:18.280 --> 0:27:21.840
<v Speaker 2>the mark on how it's presented, I think, and just.

0:27:21.800 --> 0:27:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Like allowing him to stay and continue for the whole experiment,

0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:28.000
<v Speaker 1>it's just setting the tone that that behavior is okay.

0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:29.399
<v Speaker 1>So people are going to watch that and be like, oh,

0:27:29.400 --> 0:27:30.360
<v Speaker 1>it's all right to punch your wall.

0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:31.000
<v Speaker 4>Well exactly.

0:27:31.119 --> 0:27:36.719
<v Speaker 2>And in addition to that, we've seen Adrian the DV charges,

0:27:36.720 --> 0:27:39.520
<v Speaker 2>which I believe have been dropped. I'm not sure what

0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:41.840
<v Speaker 2>exactly those were and what the terms are around that.

0:27:42.760 --> 0:27:44.800
<v Speaker 2>I personally don't know if we should be platforming people

0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:46.200
<v Speaker 2>that have even just an allegation.

0:27:46.440 --> 0:27:48.600
<v Speaker 4>When you're doing the application process.

0:27:48.200 --> 0:27:50.560
<v Speaker 2>You have a police check, you do psychological of ours.

0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:52.439
<v Speaker 2>This is definitely something they would have been aware of

0:27:52.440 --> 0:27:55.240
<v Speaker 2>if they did a simple police check. Right, Whether that

0:27:55.720 --> 0:27:58.040
<v Speaker 2>was done or whether it was ignored, I'm not sure.

0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:01.880
<v Speaker 2>But what's your thoughts on I guess the mainstream media

0:28:01.920 --> 0:28:03.440
<v Speaker 2>being able to platform.

0:28:03.119 --> 0:28:06.399
<v Speaker 3>It's very tough, right, It's really tough because you know,

0:28:06.640 --> 0:28:10.480
<v Speaker 3>they're false. Allegations happen. They're rare, but they happen. They're

0:28:10.520 --> 0:28:13.640
<v Speaker 3>about two to five percent basically. So do you want

0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:16.679
<v Speaker 3>to destroy someone's opportunities because a false allegation or an

0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:19.880
<v Speaker 3>incorrect allegation is made. Probably not, But do you? I mean,

0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:23.080
<v Speaker 3>I guess, is it possible to have someone who has

0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:28.159
<v Speaker 3>no allegations and no backstory whatsoever? Yes? It is, And

0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:29.600
<v Speaker 3>I think that's the kind of people that you want

0:28:29.600 --> 0:28:30.080
<v Speaker 3>to promote.

0:28:30.160 --> 0:28:30.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:28:30.480 --> 0:28:33.440
<v Speaker 3>Right, So to me, I understood the charges were dropped.

0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:35.399
<v Speaker 3>I understood the matter has gone away. He's entitled to

0:28:35.440 --> 0:28:37.399
<v Speaker 3>his presumption amnisions. He should be allowed to go on

0:28:37.480 --> 0:28:40.480
<v Speaker 3>with his life. But I think that what I have

0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:44.320
<v Speaker 3>seen portrayed with my own eyes barring. I mean, we

0:28:44.360 --> 0:28:46.560
<v Speaker 3>all know editing can make for sure custard out of

0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:50.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, anything. But what I've seen is some pretty

0:28:50.240 --> 0:28:53.400
<v Speaker 3>concerning dynamics. And what I'm shocked at is the complete

0:28:53.480 --> 0:28:57.280
<v Speaker 3>lack of dialogue around those dynamics and the complete lack

0:28:57.320 --> 0:29:01.360
<v Speaker 3>of psychosocial education around this particular stuff. Because if you

0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:05.280
<v Speaker 3>allow this, I'm telling you it's only inevita. It's a

0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:08.080
<v Speaker 3>matter of time until someone gets hurt, right, And it's

0:29:08.160 --> 0:29:11.120
<v Speaker 3>it's not a game, it's not entertainment. You can't you know,

0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:13.400
<v Speaker 3>you can't be having these things play out in this

0:29:13.640 --> 0:29:16.920
<v Speaker 3>horrific way and not say anything or do anything.

0:29:17.360 --> 0:29:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's hard because I think like a lot of

0:29:19.360 --> 0:29:22.200
<v Speaker 2>the stuff we've discussed a very important conversations to be

0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:24.320
<v Speaker 2>had in this stuff that's very real in like the

0:29:24.360 --> 0:29:26.800
<v Speaker 2>world we live in or just reality TV. But I

0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:31.680
<v Speaker 2>think there's like a disjoint with how that's being communicated

0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:35.600
<v Speaker 2>in such a like a mainstream like this is primetime

0:29:35.680 --> 0:29:38.440
<v Speaker 2>TV slot, right, so like you've got families watching this,

0:29:38.840 --> 0:29:41.880
<v Speaker 2>how are they explaining stuff to kids? Or like how

0:29:42.480 --> 0:29:44.320
<v Speaker 2>how is that I don't know, there's not it would

0:29:44.320 --> 0:29:45.000
<v Speaker 2>be it would have been.

0:29:45.040 --> 0:29:45.720
<v Speaker 4>I would have loved to.

0:29:45.680 --> 0:29:48.280
<v Speaker 2>See a great opportunity to like educate on the space

0:29:48.400 --> 0:29:51.200
<v Speaker 2>or like bring people in to like workshop.

0:29:51.280 --> 0:29:53.760
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. I don't know what I expect from them.

0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:55.520
<v Speaker 4>I don't really expect something.

0:29:55.600 --> 0:29:58.040
<v Speaker 3>It's something, right, Like, I don't expect this complete void.

0:29:58.040 --> 0:29:59.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean, look, there's an argument, you know, the David

0:29:59.760 --> 0:30:02.840
<v Speaker 3>att Atborough approach. You know, you you see a tiger

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:06.280
<v Speaker 3>chasing a rabbit and you don't interfere that. I don't

0:30:06.280 --> 0:30:09.600
<v Speaker 3>think flies when it's a primetime slot about something as

0:30:09.640 --> 0:30:13.360
<v Speaker 3>important as, you know, the relationship between two people. And

0:30:13.400 --> 0:30:15.720
<v Speaker 3>so I think you need to have a discussion to

0:30:15.800 --> 0:30:18.680
<v Speaker 3>tell people this is not normal or healthy or appropriate. Right,

0:30:18.920 --> 0:30:21.520
<v Speaker 3>and if I understand it correctly, Paul got like he

0:30:21.560 --> 0:30:25.920
<v Speaker 3>does a counseling session once on Saturday every Saturday. Like, okay, well, sure,

0:30:25.960 --> 0:30:28.640
<v Speaker 3>what has he learned in those sessions? What is about?

0:30:28.760 --> 0:30:31.440
<v Speaker 3>Let's share that? Right, Let's share that, you know, because look,

0:30:31.640 --> 0:30:33.680
<v Speaker 3>I can understand people losing their call. You don't want

0:30:33.680 --> 0:30:37.200
<v Speaker 3>to destroy someone because they've had a moment of madness.

0:30:37.480 --> 0:30:40.360
<v Speaker 3>But also, right, you don't punch a wall like, I mean,

0:30:40.400 --> 0:30:43.560
<v Speaker 3>I love how we keep just like acting like this

0:30:43.640 --> 0:30:47.480
<v Speaker 3>is a normal behavior. It's not right. And if the

0:30:47.560 --> 0:30:50.320
<v Speaker 3>mainstream Australia starts to think that that's okay, you're going

0:30:50.400 --> 0:30:52.200
<v Speaker 3>to have a spike in domestic violence and it's just

0:30:52.240 --> 0:30:52.800
<v Speaker 3>what happens.

0:30:53.000 --> 0:30:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely true, because it escalates every season. Like season

0:30:56.920 --> 0:31:00.640
<v Speaker 1>six we saw Martha throw wine at Cyreen. Then my

0:31:00.800 --> 0:31:04.160
<v Speaker 1>season on season nine, we saw Dominica smash a wine

0:31:04.160 --> 0:31:06.320
<v Speaker 1>glass in front of the whole group and then that

0:31:06.480 --> 0:31:08.320
<v Speaker 1>was deemed okay, and everyone's like.

0:31:08.400 --> 0:31:09.680
<v Speaker 4>Yay, slay queen.

0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like it's crazy, and now this guy is punching

0:31:13.680 --> 0:31:15.880
<v Speaker 1>a hole and a lot of things and things happened.

0:31:16.000 --> 0:31:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Nothing's happened.

0:31:16.920 --> 0:31:19.360
<v Speaker 3>What is what five seasons from now? Yeah, it's fine.

0:31:19.400 --> 0:31:21.600
<v Speaker 3>It just didn't break the leg. It just injured it.

0:31:21.720 --> 0:31:27.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, yeah, you know what I mean. You know

0:31:27.240 --> 0:31:29.600
<v Speaker 3>they were only in a coma for five months. You know,

0:31:29.800 --> 0:31:33.240
<v Speaker 3>it's it's what you would walk past, is what you accept, right,

0:31:33.280 --> 0:31:34.800
<v Speaker 3>And I think that the fact that there hasn't been

0:31:34.800 --> 0:31:36.240
<v Speaker 3>bigger pushback is concerning.

0:31:36.440 --> 0:31:37.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I agree.

0:31:37.280 --> 0:31:39.600
<v Speaker 2>I think I do feel though this year, I think

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:41.520
<v Speaker 2>I just feel something brewing. I feel that there's going

0:31:41.600 --> 0:31:43.640
<v Speaker 2>to be more change or I don't know. I just

0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:45.760
<v Speaker 2>feel like it's starting the conversation a bit more and

0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:48.520
<v Speaker 2>it might trigger things to happen.

0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:48.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:31:48.920 --> 0:31:52.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm hopeful of it, but it's yeah, it's interesting to see.

0:31:52.760 --> 0:31:55.040
<v Speaker 2>What has transpired off the back of like topics from

0:31:55.080 --> 0:32:00.960
<v Speaker 2>this season. Yeah, very fascinating. And I'm just curious your client.

0:32:01.120 --> 0:32:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Did he ever come back and say you're right?

0:32:04.560 --> 0:32:06.520
<v Speaker 3>He did not, And I did bring it up because

0:32:06.560 --> 0:32:10.080
<v Speaker 3>I felt that. I also feel like, yeah, you just yeah,

0:32:10.160 --> 0:32:11.800
<v Speaker 3>that's he's gone.

0:32:11.600 --> 0:32:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Through enough, but you're still friends.

0:32:15.600 --> 0:32:17.960
<v Speaker 3>Not really, No, I think I think that I think

0:32:18.000 --> 0:32:22.680
<v Speaker 3>that he I was shocked at how much it fundamentally

0:32:23.000 --> 0:32:27.960
<v Speaker 3>changed his personality being publicly shamed in such a wide way,

0:32:28.560 --> 0:32:30.960
<v Speaker 3>And I think the poor guy probably got PTSD or

0:32:30.960 --> 0:32:33.400
<v Speaker 3>something out of it. It seemed like and I can understand,

0:32:33.520 --> 0:32:35.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I can understand that happening to people. I

0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:37.719
<v Speaker 3>think that we all look at these things as this

0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:40.040
<v Speaker 3>like harmless bit of entertainment, but at the end of

0:32:40.040 --> 0:32:42.600
<v Speaker 3>the day, there is someone whose life has changed in

0:32:42.640 --> 0:32:44.120
<v Speaker 3>a way. You know, you guys would get a better

0:32:44.120 --> 0:32:47.480
<v Speaker 3>far better than I would. But just it's not it's

0:32:47.480 --> 0:32:49.080
<v Speaker 3>not meant to be a blood sport. It's meant to be,

0:32:49.200 --> 0:32:51.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's meant to be an opportunity to find

0:32:51.440 --> 0:32:53.680
<v Speaker 3>the love of your life, you know, make some friends

0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:56.640
<v Speaker 3>and you know, hey, I thought I liked the beach

0:32:56.680 --> 0:32:59.720
<v Speaker 3>type and like a mountain type. Who it's meant to

0:32:59.760 --> 0:33:02.160
<v Speaker 3>be some goofy not like, Hey, I didn't you know

0:33:02.280 --> 0:33:04.400
<v Speaker 3>I have to live with the domestic violence abuse or

0:33:04.400 --> 0:33:05.719
<v Speaker 3>like it's to be like that.

0:33:06.080 --> 0:33:07.080
<v Speaker 4>No, totally.

0:33:07.520 --> 0:33:09.400
<v Speaker 2>And do you think like given like the duty of

0:33:09.480 --> 0:33:15.520
<v Speaker 2>care when it comes to production and with like with this,

0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:19.680
<v Speaker 2>do you think there's I think, because we've spoken about

0:33:19.720 --> 0:33:23.520
<v Speaker 2>people taking it too far of maybe ending their life

0:33:23.560 --> 0:33:27.000
<v Speaker 2>based on their experience, whether it's on the show or

0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:30.360
<v Speaker 2>the aftermath of it, do you think that the production

0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:33.320
<v Speaker 2>or the network could be liable for that.

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:35.719
<v Speaker 3>All the rules and regulations are quite different here. I

0:33:35.720 --> 0:33:38.440
<v Speaker 3>know in the UK, I think we were discussing this

0:33:38.520 --> 0:33:40.920
<v Speaker 3>off are They've got some tighter regulations around that sort

0:33:40.960 --> 0:33:44.440
<v Speaker 3>of thing. But I mean, what people have to understand

0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:49.000
<v Speaker 3>about the law is it's always inherently it's always inherently reactive.

0:33:49.080 --> 0:33:51.040
<v Speaker 3>So I always say this when I was in law school,

0:33:51.040 --> 0:33:52.840
<v Speaker 3>and that wasn't that long ago. I like, you know,

0:33:52.920 --> 0:33:56.200
<v Speaker 3>the fourteen fifteen years ago, same sex marriage was not legal.

0:33:56.600 --> 0:34:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Cryptocurrency was not a thing. Now in my current practice,

0:34:00.400 --> 0:34:02.400
<v Speaker 3>the argument is which one of the husbands keeps the

0:34:02.400 --> 0:34:05.880
<v Speaker 3>cryptocurrency wallet? Right, I couldn't have learnt how to deal

0:34:05.880 --> 0:34:07.360
<v Speaker 3>with that when I was in law school. It wasn't

0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:10.359
<v Speaker 3>a thing. Yeah, And so there's always going to be

0:34:10.560 --> 0:34:13.640
<v Speaker 3>a step behind as we catch up with the law.

0:34:13.760 --> 0:34:15.680
<v Speaker 3>So does someone need to pass for that to be

0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:19.160
<v Speaker 3>the case? Hopefully not. I'm hopeful that this particular season

0:34:19.200 --> 0:34:20.960
<v Speaker 3>people have gone, yeah, look, we really push things a

0:34:21.000 --> 0:34:23.279
<v Speaker 3>bit too far. We better calm down and better, you know,

0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:25.439
<v Speaker 3>we better retool, or at the very least, we better

0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:29.040
<v Speaker 3>get a couple of actual DV experts on the path.

0:34:29.160 --> 0:34:31.640
<v Speaker 3>And if they do have those experts, maybe they're not

0:34:31.680 --> 0:34:34.200
<v Speaker 3>listening to them, or maybe they're not. I don't know.

0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:37.319
<v Speaker 2>And I think it's hard because I also think the

0:34:37.480 --> 0:34:40.000
<v Speaker 2>experts play their own role as.

0:34:41.440 --> 0:34:42.319
<v Speaker 4>Actor is not the right way.

0:34:42.320 --> 0:34:47.759
<v Speaker 2>They are being a character that is supplementing the whole thing. Right,

0:34:47.800 --> 0:34:49.920
<v Speaker 2>So I don't really hold things against them because I'm

0:34:49.920 --> 0:34:53.440
<v Speaker 2>sure they have their own how they feel ethically about stuff,

0:34:53.440 --> 0:34:56.799
<v Speaker 2>and I'm sure that the actual the specialization that they

0:34:56.880 --> 0:34:59.840
<v Speaker 2>do privately with their private clients is completely different.

0:34:59.600 --> 0:35:00.640
<v Speaker 4>Than what they are receiving.

0:35:01.000 --> 0:35:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Basically, like glorified hosts, there's a flip to that.

0:35:03.840 --> 0:35:07.120
<v Speaker 3>You are a professional, You've taken oaths, you've made standards,

0:35:07.160 --> 0:35:10.319
<v Speaker 3>you hold certain licenses and representations. Right, So for me,

0:35:10.960 --> 0:35:13.160
<v Speaker 3>I can't mislead the court. It's something I can't do,

0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:16.000
<v Speaker 3>even if it's in a like showy context, I can't

0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:18.919
<v Speaker 3>do that. I've made an ethical determination that I'm going

0:35:18.960 --> 0:35:21.279
<v Speaker 3>to discharge my duties in a certain way. If you're

0:35:21.280 --> 0:35:25.279
<v Speaker 3>a glorified host, right, we wouldn't held nick Liche to

0:35:25.360 --> 0:35:30.160
<v Speaker 3>the same Okay, okay, so you just it's just a

0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:32.120
<v Speaker 3>different sort of thing. But if you are, if you

0:35:32.200 --> 0:35:35.680
<v Speaker 3>have those expertises right, people are gonna people will expect

0:35:35.680 --> 0:35:38.439
<v Speaker 3>you to do something about it. And if you're not right,

0:35:39.040 --> 0:35:41.600
<v Speaker 3>maybe behind the scenes they're raising whatever alarms they need

0:35:41.600 --> 0:35:43.879
<v Speaker 3>to raise. But I mean, if you're a host and

0:35:44.000 --> 0:35:45.880
<v Speaker 3>you get the benefits of being a host, unfortunately, you

0:35:45.880 --> 0:35:48.399
<v Speaker 3>gotta have the responsibilities of being the hosts for sure.

0:35:48.520 --> 0:35:51.400
<v Speaker 1>That's sure. The scary thing is not even them talking.

0:35:51.400 --> 0:35:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the audience, no wear ear piece.

0:35:54.360 --> 0:35:56.520
<v Speaker 2>And you can hear you can hear jarring because I

0:35:56.680 --> 0:35:59.480
<v Speaker 2>literal you'd sit there and like probably the same distance

0:35:59.480 --> 0:36:00.920
<v Speaker 2>we are now and you can hear it.

0:36:01.000 --> 0:36:03.160
<v Speaker 4>You can literally hear what's being said in the earpiece.

0:36:03.320 --> 0:36:06.239
<v Speaker 4>And then you're like and it's just like just looking

0:36:06.280 --> 0:36:10.720
<v Speaker 4>at each other dead pants, and it's just like sorry,

0:36:10.719 --> 0:36:11.640
<v Speaker 4>it's so, just.

0:36:15.760 --> 0:36:20.480
<v Speaker 3>Give me a murder trial any day versus this. It's hard.

0:36:21.239 --> 0:36:23.719
<v Speaker 2>So if people were to go tell us about your

0:36:23.719 --> 0:36:26.520
<v Speaker 2>firm and what I guess services you offer any people

0:36:26.680 --> 0:36:27.560
<v Speaker 2>to go to for?

0:36:28.360 --> 0:36:30.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, what are some of the some of the things

0:36:30.239 --> 0:36:30.880
<v Speaker 4>people could go to.

0:36:33.160 --> 0:36:35.440
<v Speaker 3>We're a full service law firm. My firm's called Executive

0:36:35.480 --> 0:36:37.680

<v Speaker 3>do employment disputes, family law, crime, commercial disputes, what have you.

0:36:48.680 --> 0:36:50.680

0:36:50.719 --> 0:36:53.320
<v Speaker 3>of influencers who are dealing with things like not getting paid,

0:36:53.520 --> 0:36:56.680
<v Speaker 3>making sure they understand their obligations and their rights, making

0:36:56.719 --> 0:36:59.839
<v Speaker 3>sure that any sort of agreement is made, that's fair

0:36:59.880 --> 0:37:01.160
<v Speaker 3>to We do a fair bit of that sort of

<v Speaker 3>stuff and it's a really exciting space. I love it.

0:37:03.360 --> 0:37:06.960
<v Speaker 3>I love working with influencers. It's it's it keeps me young.

0:37:07.719 --> 0:37:09.640

0:37:09.680 --> 0:37:10.520
<v Speaker 3>You girls keep you young?

0:37:11.480 --> 0:37:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's literally, like you said before, like thirteen years ago,

0:37:14.480 --> 0:37:16.920
<v Speaker 2>influencer wasn't even a word that existence. So I think

0:37:16.960 --> 0:37:20.120
<v Speaker 2>it's like, I love that you're evolving with the times

0:37:20.160 --> 0:37:22.680
<v Speaker 2>here and like taking the career seriously because there is

0:37:22.719 --> 0:37:25.799
<v Speaker 2>these like what's the regulations? You know, we never get

0:37:25.800 --> 0:37:27.840
<v Speaker 2>paid on time, like all these things which I think

0:37:28.239 --> 0:37:30.279
<v Speaker 2>lack that structure, And I feel like it's great to

0:37:30.360 --> 0:37:32.200
<v Speaker 2>have a resource week. You'd be like, yeah, actually, these

0:37:32.239 --> 0:37:32.920
<v Speaker 2>are your rights.

0:37:33.200 --> 0:37:34.920
<v Speaker 4>It's like any typical job you would do.

0:37:35.000 --> 0:37:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you shouldn't have to wait in never sixty days

0:37:37.080 --> 0:37:38.400
<v Speaker 2>because people don't feel like paying you.

0:37:39.680 --> 0:37:42.120
<v Speaker 4>So I love. I love that you're doing that as well.

0:37:42.200 --> 0:37:45.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it's staggering how many influencers get taken for a ride,

0:37:45.200 --> 0:37:47.440
<v Speaker 3>like you know, I I you know, from the outside,

0:37:47.440 --> 0:37:49.200
<v Speaker 3>when you look at the world of an influencer, you think,

0:37:49.239 --> 0:37:51.560
<v Speaker 3>what a cushy job? Right, Oh my god, they just

0:37:51.600 --> 0:37:53.239
<v Speaker 3>go and eat like a burger and they get paid

0:37:53.239 --> 0:37:56.280
<v Speaker 3>a fortune. If you are hustling hard as an influencer,

0:37:56.320 --> 0:37:58.920
<v Speaker 3>it is hard. Like there are people who take a

0:37:58.920 --> 0:38:01.120
<v Speaker 3>lot of liberties, and so it's actually been really nice

0:38:01.120 --> 0:38:03.719
<v Speaker 3>to support people who are just like trying to, you know,

0:38:03.920 --> 0:38:05.560
<v Speaker 3>do their thing and try to learn a little bit.

0:38:05.680 --> 0:38:07.600
<v Speaker 3>It's it's been a really positive experience.

0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:10.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no, I love love that. And tell us about

0:38:10.080 --> 0:38:10.480
<v Speaker 4>your book.

0:38:10.640 --> 0:38:14.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh, thank you, thank you for remembering I've forgotten. My

0:38:14.600 --> 0:38:16.520
<v Speaker 3>book's called Talk You Out of Trouble. It's coming out

0:38:23.960 --> 0:38:28.560
<v Speaker 3>audiobook I narrated. Yeah, okay, love that and it went.

0:38:28.640 --> 0:38:31.080
<v Speaker 3>And let me tell you, narrating an audiobook is so

0:38:31.200 --> 0:38:33.160
<v Speaker 3>much harder than people tell you. You've got to get

0:38:33.280 --> 0:38:35.960
<v Speaker 3>every word right and if you get it, John, I'm

0:38:36.000 --> 0:38:38.120
<v Speaker 3>sorry you just you sounded a bit off there. Can

0:38:38.120 --> 0:38:40.920
<v Speaker 3>we just get the last sentence again? So it was

0:38:40.960 --> 0:38:44.640
<v Speaker 3>it's a mission. But yes, I've narrated it amazing. It's

0:38:44.640 --> 0:38:46.960
<v Speaker 3>coming out April twenty nine, So in any good bookstore.

0:38:47.280 --> 0:38:50.680
<v Speaker 3>Great gift for loved ones and family. And if you

0:38:50.760 --> 0:38:53.320
<v Speaker 3>like my content, it's kind of the stories and the

0:38:54.239 --> 0:38:56.080
<v Speaker 3>way that I became a lawyer, what I've learned being

0:38:56.080 --> 0:38:58.080
<v Speaker 3>a lawyer, and how you can implement that in your

0:38:58.080 --> 0:38:58.520
<v Speaker 3>own life.

0:38:58.680 --> 0:39:02.000
<v Speaker 4>Love that I will same absolutely.

0:39:02.480 --> 0:39:05.319
<v Speaker 1>Finally, ending up with one last question, let's just say,

0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:09.640
<v Speaker 1>if these crazy contracts weren't a thing, what reality TV

0:39:09.680 --> 0:39:10.680
<v Speaker 1>show would you go on?

0:39:13.719 --> 0:39:15.160
<v Speaker 3>What a tough one.

0:39:15.719 --> 0:39:18.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, like Survivor.

0:39:18.160 --> 0:39:20.640
<v Speaker 4>Oh brother, look, Apprentice.

0:39:20.800 --> 0:39:22.960
<v Speaker 3>You have to understand The Apprentice would be a good one.

0:39:23.239 --> 0:39:28.920
<v Speaker 3>Check out The Apprentice. The Apprentice. Yeah, my wife has

0:39:28.960 --> 0:39:32.279
<v Speaker 3>always said she wanted to go on Survivor. That's been

0:39:32.320 --> 0:39:35.160
<v Speaker 3>her big dream. So you know, use your energy, Internet

0:39:35.239 --> 0:39:37.480
<v Speaker 3>and make that happen for her. But I think Apprentice

0:39:37.480 --> 0:39:38.960
<v Speaker 3>would be great. I think it'd be a lot of fun.

0:39:39.040 --> 0:39:43.080
<v Speaker 3>You go out there, you'd know all you hustle, you know,

0:39:43.120 --> 0:39:48.680
<v Speaker 3>get fired, You're fired. I thought it was self employed.

0:39:48.880 --> 0:39:52.120
<v Speaker 4>I would be able to deal with that cry probably literally.

0:39:53.520 --> 0:39:55.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh thank you so much for coming on. I've learnt

0:39:55.840 --> 0:39:57.719
<v Speaker 1>so much. I feel like I've been in class, but

0:39:57.840 --> 0:39:59.080
<v Speaker 1>in a good class, like a.

0:39:59.120 --> 0:40:02.840
