WEBVTT - A Theory About Kate Middleton's Hair & The Secret To Small Talk

0:00:10.622 --> 0:00:13.341
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to a MoMA Mia podcast.

0:00:13.822 --> 0:00:17.182
<v Speaker 2>Mamma Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of land and waters

0:00:17.222 --> 0:00:22.221
<v Speaker 2>that this podcast is recorded on Hello and welcome to

0:00:22.302 --> 0:00:25.061
<v Speaker 2>Mamma Mia. Out loud. It's what women are actually talking

0:00:25.102 --> 0:00:28.462
<v Speaker 2>about on Monday, the sixth of September. I'm Holly Wayne right.

0:00:28.622 --> 0:00:29.582
<v Speaker 3>I think it's the eighth.

0:00:30.022 --> 0:00:30.261
<v Speaker 4>Shit.

0:00:32.502 --> 0:00:36.422
<v Speaker 2>I was trying to look up now that we make

0:00:36.542 --> 0:00:40.222
<v Speaker 2>this podcast also for video, and I never know what

0:00:40.302 --> 0:00:42.582
<v Speaker 2>David is. I would be terrible in one of those

0:00:42.582 --> 0:00:44.782
<v Speaker 2>cognitive tests where people are like, what day is it, Holly?

0:00:44.782 --> 0:00:46.822
<v Speaker 2>What date is it? Holly? No idea, no idea.

0:00:46.902 --> 0:00:50.182
<v Speaker 3>Well, the only reason I know is because of something

0:00:50.262 --> 0:00:52.222
<v Speaker 3>I'm bringing to the show today. But I have looked

0:00:52.222 --> 0:00:56.022
<v Speaker 3>into the data significance. But it is, in fact the eighth.

0:00:55.862 --> 0:00:59.742
<v Speaker 2>She's right, She's right, out louders, this is what women

0:00:59.782 --> 0:01:02.702
<v Speaker 2>are actually talking about, not two days ago, but today,

0:01:02.822 --> 0:01:05.422
<v Speaker 2>on Monday, the eighth of September. And I am Holly Wayne.

0:01:05.222 --> 0:01:07.941
<v Speaker 3>Right, I'm Jesse Stevens, and I am Amelia Last.

0:01:08.262 --> 0:01:11.302
<v Speaker 2>And here is what has made our agenda today. I

0:01:11.342 --> 0:01:13.102
<v Speaker 2>know you knew I was going to talk about this,

0:01:13.262 --> 0:01:17.062
<v Speaker 2>the hair change that swallowed your weekend group chats, I

0:01:17.102 --> 0:01:20.102
<v Speaker 2>have a special royal roundup for you, and yes it

0:01:20.142 --> 0:01:21.782
<v Speaker 2>does include Princess Kate.

0:01:21.982 --> 0:01:26.022
<v Speaker 3>Plus Australian wellness figure Pete Evans has returned and why

0:01:26.062 --> 0:01:28.702
<v Speaker 3>does it feel like he is now a man who

0:01:28.702 --> 0:01:29.702
<v Speaker 3>has truly met his.

0:01:29.782 --> 0:01:34.342
<v Speaker 4>Moment and you're doing small talk wrong. I've learned about

0:01:34.382 --> 0:01:35.542
<v Speaker 4>a new theory about how.

0:01:35.422 --> 0:01:36.062
<v Speaker 1>To fix this.

0:01:36.462 --> 0:01:40.302
<v Speaker 3>But first, in case you missed it, early this morning,

0:01:40.342 --> 0:01:43.142
<v Speaker 3>a total lunar eclipse was visible in much of the world.

0:01:43.182 --> 0:01:47.262
<v Speaker 3>Who got up to see it, ladies not. I think

0:01:47.302 --> 0:01:49.462
<v Speaker 3>it was like three point thirty. It was really I

0:01:49.502 --> 0:01:50.342
<v Speaker 3>saw the.

0:01:50.182 --> 0:01:54.422
<v Speaker 2>Moon outside last night was very impressive. Yeah, that was

0:01:54.462 --> 0:01:56.622
<v Speaker 2>the and I was like, that's enough, that's enough now.

0:01:56.662 --> 0:01:59.102
<v Speaker 2>But then I started getting texts from people saying you

0:01:59.182 --> 0:02:00.782
<v Speaker 2>must go crystals.

0:02:00.222 --> 0:02:00.662
<v Speaker 1>Out, you know.

0:02:00.782 --> 0:02:02.902
<v Speaker 3>I was in Canada one night and they were like,

0:02:02.942 --> 0:02:04.222
<v Speaker 3>you know there's going to be the what do you

0:02:04.222 --> 0:02:07.262
<v Speaker 3>call them, the fancy lights, normal lights the middle last night.

0:02:07.302 --> 0:02:09.662
<v Speaker 3>All we have to do is at one o'clock go

0:02:09.742 --> 0:02:13.901
<v Speaker 3>and look at them. And I was like, that's too warm.

0:02:14.462 --> 0:02:16.782
<v Speaker 4>Did you see that there's this new add out for

0:02:16.822 --> 0:02:19.862
<v Speaker 4>Tourism Australia that's been playing in China, which features the

0:02:19.942 --> 0:02:23.742
<v Speaker 4>Southern lights in Tasmania. No, the only problem is they're

0:02:23.782 --> 0:02:26.302
<v Speaker 4>basically impossible to see and had to be photoshopped in,

0:02:26.422 --> 0:02:30.382
<v Speaker 4>so they are under all sorts of criticism.

0:02:29.262 --> 0:02:32.382
<v Speaker 3>Maybe a little bit. I are interesting. Well, this moon

0:02:32.462 --> 0:02:35.902
<v Speaker 3>really happened. The moon passed through the Earth's shadow, which

0:02:35.942 --> 0:02:39.822
<v Speaker 3>produced a deep red hue, hence why it is called

0:02:39.942 --> 0:02:40.621
<v Speaker 3>the blood moon.

0:02:41.181 --> 0:02:41.822
<v Speaker 1>I love that.

0:02:41.982 --> 0:02:45.102
<v Speaker 3>But the real question is what does the pretty moon

0:02:45.222 --> 0:02:47.862
<v Speaker 3>say about me in my life? That's what everyone is asking.

0:02:48.302 --> 0:02:52.262
<v Speaker 3>Does it mark endings or beginnings or significant shifts? Or

0:02:52.302 --> 0:02:54.142
<v Speaker 3>should I be manifesting or reflecting?

0:02:54.181 --> 0:02:56.022
<v Speaker 4>And what does it mean for my period? Because I

0:02:56.062 --> 0:02:57.941
<v Speaker 4>know the moon's linked to my period in some way.

0:02:58.142 --> 0:02:58.822
<v Speaker 4>So true.

0:02:59.022 --> 0:03:03.862
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, that sounds like a superperio. That sounds bad.

0:03:04.462 --> 0:03:08.582
<v Speaker 3>Eclipses are cosmic plot twists in our lives. Obviously, they

0:03:08.622 --> 0:03:12.222
<v Speaker 3>accelerate change and they dissolve anything outdated. Be ready, be

0:03:12.302 --> 0:03:15.782
<v Speaker 3>prepared for some revelations, because they're coming. Be ready to

0:03:15.822 --> 0:03:18.062
<v Speaker 3>be led in a direction your soul wants you to go.

0:03:18.582 --> 0:03:21.982
<v Speaker 3>There's something about alignment with your life's truest path. But

0:03:22.142 --> 0:03:24.222
<v Speaker 3>here is some practical advice that we must follow.

0:03:24.302 --> 0:03:25.982
<v Speaker 2>Do you think that's for like this week now that

0:03:26.022 --> 0:03:28.742
<v Speaker 2>the moon has happened, So like, don't be surprised if

0:03:28.742 --> 0:03:30.102
<v Speaker 2>things get a bit weird this week.

0:03:30.222 --> 0:03:32.822
<v Speaker 3>Exactly, it's going to be a bit chaotic, a bit messy,

0:03:32.902 --> 0:03:33.742
<v Speaker 3>but in a good way.

0:03:33.782 --> 0:03:34.222
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what.

0:03:34.262 --> 0:03:37.142
<v Speaker 3>That's your pads, yeah, exactly right. Yeah, and your period

0:03:37.222 --> 0:03:43.182
<v Speaker 3>undeas maybe some period genes. If something is leaving your life,

0:03:43.422 --> 0:03:47.022
<v Speaker 3>don't chase it. That's if you've got someone who, like

0:03:47.222 --> 0:03:49.462
<v Speaker 3>you're in the middle of a breakup, or something's going

0:03:49.502 --> 0:03:51.022
<v Speaker 3>wrong at work and you feel like you're meant to

0:03:51.102 --> 0:03:53.342
<v Speaker 3>let something go, You're meant to let it go.

0:03:53.742 --> 0:03:56.342
<v Speaker 2>That's so weird because I was driving in this morning

0:03:56.382 --> 0:03:59.942
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, let go, let go see and

0:04:00.022 --> 0:04:00.342
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't.

0:04:00.502 --> 0:04:03.462
<v Speaker 3>It was the blood it was the blood moon whispering

0:04:03.502 --> 0:04:09.502
<v Speaker 3>to you. Also, if you were planning on manifesting, don't manifesting.

0:04:10.022 --> 0:04:13.862
<v Speaker 3>Our job is too surrender, which I feel is lazier

0:04:14.062 --> 0:04:16.622
<v Speaker 3>and it's just more of a vibe. The instruction is

0:04:16.662 --> 0:04:18.822
<v Speaker 3>that we're not meant to do anything. We're just meant

0:04:18.861 --> 0:04:21.501
<v Speaker 3>to sit in like this, let the universe do what

0:04:21.502 --> 0:04:23.582
<v Speaker 3>it's meant to do. You're also the other thing you

0:04:23.662 --> 0:04:25.981
<v Speaker 3>meant to do is look through your photos from last

0:04:26.022 --> 0:04:29.421
<v Speaker 3>September because something significant happened and there's been like a

0:04:29.462 --> 0:04:33.302
<v Speaker 3>full circle thing, so I would do it. Yeah, and

0:04:33.541 --> 0:04:37.142
<v Speaker 3>that's when I got my THERMOMX. No, yeah, it is.

0:04:37.262 --> 0:04:38.942
<v Speaker 3>It is when I got my THERMOMX. So I feel

0:04:38.941 --> 0:04:39.662
<v Speaker 3>like that was a beginning.

0:04:40.022 --> 0:04:42.501
<v Speaker 2>And then she discovered vegetables. Yeah, and then there was

0:04:42.541 --> 0:04:43.502
<v Speaker 2>no stopping.

0:04:43.181 --> 0:04:46.261
<v Speaker 3>Us exactly exactly, and now I am basically Pete Evans.

0:04:46.262 --> 0:04:49.061
<v Speaker 2>So that's all I wish later.

0:04:49.662 --> 0:04:51.861
<v Speaker 3>That is all my blood moon update.

0:04:52.022 --> 0:04:53.861
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, I've immediately got to go and look at

0:04:53.902 --> 0:04:56.581
<v Speaker 2>last September's photos. Maybe we can put something on social Yeah,

0:04:56.621 --> 0:04:59.902
<v Speaker 2>exactly right, friends, I was wrong. You know, I don't

0:04:59.981 --> 0:05:02.141
<v Speaker 2>like to admit it. You know, I don't like to

0:05:02.181 --> 0:05:05.461
<v Speaker 2>admit being wrong, but I was really really wrong about

0:05:05.501 --> 0:05:08.101
<v Speaker 2>something very important that had something to do with the

0:05:08.181 --> 0:05:11.382
<v Speaker 2>royal person's hair color. Now you know I was going

0:05:11.421 --> 0:05:13.222
<v Speaker 2>to talk about this. It's my royal round up for

0:05:13.262 --> 0:05:16.301
<v Speaker 2>the day. A princess has changed her hair and I

0:05:16.381 --> 0:05:18.421
<v Speaker 2>have to deliver a mere culpa because just a couple

0:05:18.462 --> 0:05:20.302
<v Speaker 2>of weeks ago on the show, the first time there

0:05:20.342 --> 0:05:23.222
<v Speaker 2>was an image of Princess Catherine, Princess of Wales through

0:05:23.381 --> 0:05:25.902
<v Speaker 2>a car window a couple of weeks ago that made

0:05:25.902 --> 0:05:28.222
<v Speaker 2>it appear like her hair was sort of yellowish.

0:05:28.022 --> 0:05:28.941
<v Speaker 3>Honey honey blonde.

0:05:29.061 --> 0:05:31.222
<v Speaker 2>Yes, And it was all over the Daily Mail and everything,

0:05:31.262 --> 0:05:33.981
<v Speaker 2>and everyone was saying, oh my God. And I confidently

0:05:34.061 --> 0:05:39.861
<v Speaker 2>said on this show now, I can't really explain to

0:05:39.861 --> 0:05:43.142
<v Speaker 2>you how I know, deep in my soul she did

0:05:43.181 --> 0:05:46.342
<v Speaker 2>not dye her hair blonde. Princess Catherine is no more

0:05:46.381 --> 0:05:49.421
<v Speaker 2>allowed to dye her hair blonde than she is to

0:05:49.462 --> 0:05:50.782
<v Speaker 2>pick her undie's out of her bomb.

0:05:51.061 --> 0:05:53.421
<v Speaker 3>But I saw those pictures of her in the limousine

0:05:53.501 --> 0:05:55.101
<v Speaker 3>or something, and they think that it's blonde. Is it

0:05:55.222 --> 0:05:56.622
<v Speaker 3>just light? The lighting?

0:05:56.902 --> 0:05:59.581
<v Speaker 2>It's a pat picture right through a car window that

0:05:59.702 --> 0:06:03.462
<v Speaker 2>looks like she's gone proper blonde blonde. But a strategic

0:06:03.662 --> 0:06:07.141
<v Speaker 2>leak has already been placed with the Daily Mail that

0:06:07.262 --> 0:06:11.301
<v Speaker 2>says this is just yacht hair. She has spent the

0:06:11.342 --> 0:06:15.021
<v Speaker 2>summer in Greece and she's slowly been lightening her brown

0:06:15.301 --> 0:06:19.181
<v Speaker 2>from chestnut to more caramelli and there's just a bit

0:06:19.222 --> 0:06:24.782
<v Speaker 2>of summer sun on it. But Diana was blonde, yeah,

0:06:24.782 --> 0:06:26.141
<v Speaker 2>but she didn't start off brunette.

0:06:26.462 --> 0:06:28.101
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So it's a royal rule that you can't go

0:06:28.181 --> 0:06:28.782
<v Speaker 3>from brunette.

0:06:28.782 --> 0:06:31.662
<v Speaker 2>Well, I just think it's just very unlikely to have

0:06:31.702 --> 0:06:34.141
<v Speaker 2>such a dramatic hair chakee well until now, right, So

0:06:34.262 --> 0:06:37.541
<v Speaker 2>I was very very wrong because, as everybody listening to

0:06:37.582 --> 0:06:42.261
<v Speaker 2>this knows, on Friday Thursday, their time, she and William

0:06:42.421 --> 0:06:44.782
<v Speaker 2>went to an event I think they were Oh yes,

0:06:44.861 --> 0:06:47.342
<v Speaker 2>they were looking at the newly renovated gardens outside the

0:06:47.421 --> 0:06:49.581
<v Speaker 2>Natural History Museum in London, because that's the kind of

0:06:49.582 --> 0:06:52.981
<v Speaker 2>fun shit that is going to do. And all anyone

0:06:53.022 --> 0:06:55.021
<v Speaker 2>wanted to talk about was the fact that she had

0:06:55.462 --> 0:07:00.222
<v Speaker 2>blonde hair, big hair, the fonty hair, and the internet

0:07:00.262 --> 0:07:02.782
<v Speaker 2>went into meltdown. Yes, what did you two think when

0:07:02.782 --> 0:07:04.382
<v Speaker 2>you first saw it? I'm going to get to in

0:07:04.421 --> 0:07:06.062
<v Speaker 2>a minute to what people were saying, But what did

0:07:06.061 --> 0:07:06.581
<v Speaker 2>you two think?

0:07:06.861 --> 0:07:09.901
<v Speaker 3>Definitely drastic change, and there was a lot of andy

0:07:09.982 --> 0:07:12.782
<v Speaker 3>going around with the images, and a lot of people

0:07:12.862 --> 0:07:17.422
<v Speaker 3>were speculating about wig or extensions or topper all that

0:07:17.502 --> 0:07:20.222
<v Speaker 3>kind of stuff. I felt slightly uncomfortable with some of

0:07:20.262 --> 0:07:24.102
<v Speaker 3>the discourse, although I went, yeah, she probably does have

0:07:24.182 --> 0:07:26.622
<v Speaker 3>some sort of like topper, which is sort of not

0:07:26.742 --> 0:07:28.502
<v Speaker 3>a wig but additional hair.

0:07:28.662 --> 0:07:31.742
<v Speaker 2>Right, Obviously this is a sensitive topic and we're going

0:07:31.782 --> 0:07:34.062
<v Speaker 2>to put this on the table because, as we know,

0:07:34.302 --> 0:07:37.422
<v Speaker 2>in January this year, Princess Catherine said that she was

0:07:37.422 --> 0:07:40.221
<v Speaker 2>in remission from cancer and she had had chemotherapy treatment

0:07:40.302 --> 0:07:43.261
<v Speaker 2>last year, and she has spoken publicly about how She

0:07:43.342 --> 0:07:45.781
<v Speaker 2>called it a roller coaster. She said it was brutal.

0:07:45.862 --> 0:07:48.182
<v Speaker 2>She says that the adjustment to a post treatment life

0:07:48.222 --> 0:07:51.342
<v Speaker 2>has been really difficult, which is something that very many women,

0:07:51.422 --> 0:07:54.902
<v Speaker 2>well people can relate to. And there's no question that obviously,

0:07:55.102 --> 0:07:57.742
<v Speaker 2>the issues around hair with cancer treatment are very sensitive.

0:07:58.262 --> 0:08:00.141
<v Speaker 2>She never appeared to lose her hair, of course, but

0:08:00.462 --> 0:08:02.382
<v Speaker 2>we don't know and nor should we know, what's been

0:08:02.422 --> 0:08:05.901
<v Speaker 2>going on. So there's obviously a sensitivity around discussing this,

0:08:06.062 --> 0:08:09.022
<v Speaker 2>which feels a bit icky. But then on the other hand,

0:08:09.662 --> 0:08:12.942
<v Speaker 2>there is no question that often what a royal or

0:08:12.982 --> 0:08:15.302
<v Speaker 2>We've talked about this with other public figures like politicians,

0:08:15.302 --> 0:08:18.502
<v Speaker 2>with their appearance, they're often trying to have as little

0:08:18.542 --> 0:08:21.302
<v Speaker 2>commentary as possible, like I just look the same every

0:08:21.342 --> 0:08:24.581
<v Speaker 2>time you see me. I'm wearing very boring things. I'm

0:08:24.582 --> 0:08:25.901
<v Speaker 2>not doing you know, I'm not doing this, I'm not

0:08:25.902 --> 0:08:28.222
<v Speaker 2>doing that. I don't want to attract any commentary. And

0:08:28.262 --> 0:08:30.902
<v Speaker 2>this was a big shift, so Kate was not doing

0:08:30.941 --> 0:08:34.182
<v Speaker 2>that with this. Some of the commentary has obviously been

0:08:34.381 --> 0:08:37.421
<v Speaker 2>very icky around it because it hasn't been very complimentary.

0:08:37.902 --> 0:08:40.742
<v Speaker 2>But Amelia, do you think it's fair game for conversation?

0:08:41.102 --> 0:08:41.302
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:08:41.302 --> 0:08:43.062
<v Speaker 1>I think that was really well put, Holly.

0:08:43.182 --> 0:08:45.382
<v Speaker 4>And a lot of the debate that was happening in

0:08:45.382 --> 0:08:49.022
<v Speaker 4>my group chats was about whether or not it was

0:08:49.062 --> 0:08:51.822
<v Speaker 4>a wig. And what I found helpful was someone who

0:08:51.862 --> 0:08:55.142
<v Speaker 4>did some actual reporting on this, and that was Caitlin Colemore,

0:08:55.182 --> 0:08:58.782
<v Speaker 4>who's a hairstylist that Laney gossip called up and this

0:08:58.942 --> 0:09:02.142
<v Speaker 4>was in Laney's newslet of The Squawk, and Caitlin Colemore's

0:09:02.182 --> 0:09:05.102
<v Speaker 4>assessment was that these were extensions, they were not a wig.

0:09:05.542 --> 0:09:07.222
<v Speaker 4>And the reason she said that is because there was

0:09:07.262 --> 0:09:10.662
<v Speaker 4>no lace front visible, so it was Kate's actual hair

0:09:10.742 --> 0:09:13.862
<v Speaker 4>on top, the new blonde hair color on top. And

0:09:13.902 --> 0:09:16.342
<v Speaker 4>then the issue is that the extensions that have been

0:09:16.382 --> 0:09:19.862
<v Speaker 4>clipped underneath had not been executed well, meaning they hadn't

0:09:19.902 --> 0:09:22.222
<v Speaker 4>been brushed through in a way that made them look seamless.

0:09:22.742 --> 0:09:25.142
<v Speaker 4>Now Laney asks the question, and we all know that

0:09:25.262 --> 0:09:28.342
<v Speaker 4>Laney is an expert on the signals that celebrities and

0:09:28.382 --> 0:09:31.502
<v Speaker 4>public figures send in terms of things like their appearance.

0:09:32.102 --> 0:09:34.182
<v Speaker 4>She makes the point that Kate is the future Queen

0:09:34.182 --> 0:09:34.662
<v Speaker 4>of England.

0:09:34.942 --> 0:09:37.862
<v Speaker 1>She has plenty of resources, she has very skilled people

0:09:37.942 --> 0:09:38.742
<v Speaker 1>working with her.

0:09:39.062 --> 0:09:43.022
<v Speaker 4>So the question is why did they not give their

0:09:43.022 --> 0:09:45.902
<v Speaker 4>a game on this really important occasion for someone who's

0:09:45.902 --> 0:09:48.702
<v Speaker 4>going through a lot. And my personal theory on this

0:09:49.022 --> 0:09:51.502
<v Speaker 4>is that I wonder if Kate doesn't want to remind

0:09:51.542 --> 0:09:53.342
<v Speaker 4>us that she's going through a lot behind the scenes

0:09:53.382 --> 0:09:56.462
<v Speaker 4>that we don't know about. In addition to her recovery

0:09:56.462 --> 0:09:59.582
<v Speaker 4>from cancer, there may be other things happening too, and

0:09:59.622 --> 0:10:02.782
<v Speaker 4>it's just a reminder that we don't always know everything

0:10:02.822 --> 0:10:04.902
<v Speaker 4>that's happening in her life, and maybe she wants to

0:10:04.942 --> 0:10:07.342
<v Speaker 4>remind us that she's got more important things to think

0:10:07.382 --> 0:10:09.822
<v Speaker 4>about right now than making sure that her hair is

0:10:09.862 --> 0:10:11.102
<v Speaker 4>executed perfectly.

0:10:11.222 --> 0:10:13.942
<v Speaker 2>This is my theory, as much as it's in any

0:10:13.942 --> 0:10:15.582
<v Speaker 2>way okay for a grown woman to have a theory

0:10:15.582 --> 0:10:18.822
<v Speaker 2>about another grown woman's hair. A while ago, you might

0:10:18.862 --> 0:10:23.382
<v Speaker 2>remember that Kate's press office said, and then sort of backtracked,

0:10:23.382 --> 0:10:25.382
<v Speaker 2>that they weren't going to talk about her clothes anymore.

0:10:25.422 --> 0:10:27.862
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember that I said that it was always

0:10:27.982 --> 0:10:29.862
<v Speaker 2>very standard that you would release the details of what

0:10:29.942 --> 0:10:32.302
<v Speaker 2>a princess or a senior royal was wearing, like what

0:10:32.382 --> 0:10:34.582
<v Speaker 2>designers she's wearing, Da da, Da da, And they kind

0:10:34.582 --> 0:10:36.222
<v Speaker 2>of said, we're going to stop doing that. Then they

0:10:36.342 --> 0:10:38.102
<v Speaker 2>backtracked on it a little bit because there was an

0:10:38.142 --> 0:10:41.182
<v Speaker 2>outcry from people who were very upset about it. But

0:10:41.542 --> 0:10:43.942
<v Speaker 2>a lot of women who've gone through something as serious

0:10:43.982 --> 0:10:46.702
<v Speaker 2>and life altering as Kate has over the past year

0:10:46.782 --> 0:10:50.662
<v Speaker 2>or two come out with realigned priorities, And I sort

0:10:50.702 --> 0:10:53.702
<v Speaker 2>of wonder if Kate is just jack of being the

0:10:53.822 --> 0:10:58.182
<v Speaker 2>perfectly poised, quafft princess at all times and is kind

0:10:58.182 --> 0:11:00.702
<v Speaker 2>of like, all right, so the hair isn't perfect today.

0:11:00.782 --> 0:11:01.582
<v Speaker 2>I don't give a shit.

0:11:01.982 --> 0:11:02.182
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:11:02.262 --> 0:11:04.782
<v Speaker 2>I haven't done a million things to my face that

0:11:04.822 --> 0:11:07.462
<v Speaker 2>people think I should be doing. I'm wearing clothes I

0:11:07.502 --> 0:11:09.742
<v Speaker 2>was wearing six months ago, which is something she's always done.

0:11:09.782 --> 0:11:12.222
<v Speaker 2>For a start, she's always reworn clothes and things. She's

0:11:12.302 --> 0:11:13.982
<v Speaker 2>kind of going, who gives a shit. I want to

0:11:14.022 --> 0:11:16.782
<v Speaker 2>be here to support causes I care about, talk about

0:11:16.822 --> 0:11:19.742
<v Speaker 2>issues that matter. But the problem is that's all we

0:11:19.822 --> 0:11:21.542
<v Speaker 2>all care about. And when I say we, I don't

0:11:21.542 --> 0:11:23.622
<v Speaker 2>necessarily mean us. But you know, that's all the public

0:11:23.662 --> 0:11:25.261
<v Speaker 2>cares about when it comes to a princess, so it's

0:11:25.342 --> 0:11:28.182
<v Speaker 2>kind of it must be very frustrating if she's like,

0:11:28.782 --> 0:11:30.542
<v Speaker 2>I want to send a message that who cares if

0:11:30.582 --> 0:11:33.302
<v Speaker 2>I didn't brush my hair perfectly? But then that goes

0:11:33.302 --> 0:11:34.062
<v Speaker 2>around the world.

0:11:34.782 --> 0:11:37.582
<v Speaker 4>To extend that theory a little further, I think we

0:11:37.622 --> 0:11:40.822
<v Speaker 4>should remember that William is currently going through a kind

0:11:40.902 --> 0:11:43.502
<v Speaker 4>of renegotiation of what it means to be a royal

0:11:43.622 --> 0:11:46.222
<v Speaker 4>and how many engagements he should have each year. There

0:11:46.262 --> 0:11:49.822
<v Speaker 4>was actually some reporting in Tatler last month that Princess Anne,

0:11:49.862 --> 0:11:52.702
<v Speaker 4>who was seventy five now and who has always done

0:11:52.742 --> 0:11:55.062
<v Speaker 4>the most engagements of anyone in the royal family, is

0:11:55.142 --> 0:11:57.822
<v Speaker 4>annoyed at William. She says he is not doing enough

0:11:57.822 --> 0:11:59.982
<v Speaker 4>engagements and let me get the numbers right here. In

0:12:00.022 --> 0:12:01.902
<v Speaker 4>the last year she did four hundred and seventy four

0:12:01.902 --> 0:12:04.702
<v Speaker 4>engagement oh my god, which is mind boggling when you

0:12:04.742 --> 0:12:05.381
<v Speaker 4>think about it.

0:12:05.902 --> 0:12:08.342
<v Speaker 2>And I talked about this list in his book about

0:12:08.342 --> 0:12:10.622
<v Speaker 2>how when it comes out every the list that Amilia

0:12:10.662 --> 0:12:13.142
<v Speaker 2>is talking about, the royals will get really shitty with

0:12:13.182 --> 0:12:13.582
<v Speaker 2>each other.

0:12:13.782 --> 0:12:16.182
<v Speaker 4>And AD's always at the top. William last year did

0:12:16.182 --> 0:12:18.062
<v Speaker 4>one hundred and thirty five. Now, obviously it was a

0:12:18.182 --> 0:12:19.622
<v Speaker 4>hugely tough year for his.

0:12:19.502 --> 0:12:23.262
<v Speaker 3>Father and wife. Both were dealing with cancer diagnosis.

0:12:22.902 --> 0:12:25.622
<v Speaker 4>Yes, but also more generally, he and Kate have talked

0:12:25.622 --> 0:12:29.142
<v Speaker 4>about for a long time about how they want to

0:12:29.262 --> 0:12:32.622
<v Speaker 4>really focus on the early years of their children's lives

0:12:32.742 --> 0:12:35.142
<v Speaker 4>and give them the kind of care and attention that

0:12:35.142 --> 0:12:38.182
<v Speaker 4>frankly William did not get. They believe that that will

0:12:38.222 --> 0:12:40.942
<v Speaker 4>set them up best for a life in the public eye.

0:12:41.142 --> 0:12:43.462
<v Speaker 4>So this is part of also a renegotiation of what

0:12:43.502 --> 0:12:45.502
<v Speaker 4>it means to be royal, how often should you be

0:12:45.542 --> 0:12:47.462
<v Speaker 4>seen in public? And I think you've got to see

0:12:47.462 --> 0:12:50.942
<v Speaker 4>this hair change as part of that overall renegotiation.

0:12:51.222 --> 0:12:53.782
<v Speaker 3>I wonder if too, I've heard people talk about when

0:12:53.782 --> 0:12:56.542
<v Speaker 3>something really dramatic happens in your life, whether that's a

0:12:56.582 --> 0:13:00.822
<v Speaker 3>diagnosis or a loss that can't necessarily be seen from

0:13:01.062 --> 0:13:05.502
<v Speaker 3>the outside, sometimes you want a visual marker that you've changed.

0:13:05.942 --> 0:13:08.462
<v Speaker 3>So it's the classic getting a fringe after a breakup

0:13:08.582 --> 0:13:11.502
<v Speaker 3>in terms of I don't feel the same anymore. So

0:13:11.542 --> 0:13:15.222
<v Speaker 3>I can completely understand how Kate feels like a totally

0:13:15.262 --> 0:13:18.942
<v Speaker 3>different person if it has literally impacted her hair, which

0:13:19.062 --> 0:13:22.542
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it probably has even you know, that sort

0:13:22.582 --> 0:13:24.982
<v Speaker 3>of of treatment, it would make sense. I would think

0:13:24.982 --> 0:13:26.782
<v Speaker 3>that if you're in the public eye, and even for

0:13:26.822 --> 0:13:29.342
<v Speaker 3>the sake of getting ready more quickly, I would think

0:13:29.342 --> 0:13:31.782
<v Speaker 3>that having extensions or top of the pieces something you

0:13:31.862 --> 0:13:34.542
<v Speaker 3>do all the time. And the other thing that I've

0:13:34.542 --> 0:13:37.302
<v Speaker 3>heard a few hairdressers say is that for women over forty,

0:13:37.422 --> 0:13:39.662
<v Speaker 3>you often see them go to that exact color. And

0:13:39.702 --> 0:13:42.502
<v Speaker 3>the reason they go to that exact color is because

0:13:42.582 --> 0:13:44.142
<v Speaker 3>you don't need to cover grays as much. If you

0:13:44.142 --> 0:13:46.622
<v Speaker 3>have dark brown hair and you're starting to get little grays,

0:13:47.182 --> 0:13:51.022
<v Speaker 3>it's every two weeks you're having to cover them and exactly,

0:13:51.062 --> 0:13:52.702
<v Speaker 3>and so you go to that and you're able to

0:13:52.782 --> 0:13:55.342
<v Speaker 3>kind of mix it in a little bit more So

0:13:55.462 --> 0:13:56.262
<v Speaker 3>that kind of made.

0:13:56.102 --> 0:13:58.742
<v Speaker 2>Sense too out loud as prepare for much Kate hairwatch

0:13:58.862 --> 0:14:02.102
<v Speaker 2>because then on Sunday she was out watching our Wallaroos

0:14:02.462 --> 0:14:04.902
<v Speaker 2>get smashed by the English actually and the rugby and

0:14:04.942 --> 0:14:06.982
<v Speaker 2>it looked like she was brunette again. But then the

0:14:07.062 --> 0:14:09.542
<v Speaker 2>video in the change room with different lighting, Oh, look

0:14:09.702 --> 0:14:11.902
<v Speaker 2>like she was blood again. Brown blood, brown blood. We've

0:14:11.902 --> 0:14:13.942
<v Speaker 2>got whiplash. So just I think we all need a

0:14:14.022 --> 0:14:14.462
<v Speaker 2>chill PILLLP.

0:14:14.502 --> 0:14:16.902
<v Speaker 3>I think as a culture too, there's something about wigs,

0:14:17.142 --> 0:14:20.622
<v Speaker 3>because there is this obsession with men and wigs. So

0:14:20.702 --> 0:14:23.502
<v Speaker 3>Harry styles. There have been rumors for years about his

0:14:23.542 --> 0:14:26.022
<v Speaker 3>hair loss. Yes, about his hair loss. It's all the

0:14:26.142 --> 0:14:28.302
<v Speaker 3>f one. There are certain players where it's like he

0:14:28.382 --> 0:14:32.422
<v Speaker 3>has a topper or whatever. There are like Instagram accounts

0:14:32.462 --> 0:14:35.822
<v Speaker 3>dedicated to it, and I think it's it's almost been

0:14:35.942 --> 0:14:39.222
<v Speaker 3>coded or read. Is this thing about honesty or transparency,

0:14:39.502 --> 0:14:43.302
<v Speaker 3>like that they're being somehow dishonest. Harry has had to

0:14:43.902 --> 0:14:47.462
<v Speaker 3>address it publicly. Yeah, there's this idea that people are

0:14:47.542 --> 0:14:50.502
<v Speaker 3>kind of fooling us, which I think is really unfair

0:14:50.582 --> 0:14:53.142
<v Speaker 3>because you go, how many ways do we all change

0:14:53.142 --> 0:14:55.662
<v Speaker 3>our appearance before we leave the house, But wigs is

0:14:55.702 --> 0:14:56.502
<v Speaker 3>just this kind of other.

0:14:56.742 --> 0:14:58.262
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a really good point.

0:14:58.302 --> 0:15:00.782
<v Speaker 4>And I think that's actually also changing a little bit too,

0:15:00.862 --> 0:15:04.382
<v Speaker 4>because just recently John Cena came out and said that

0:15:04.502 --> 0:15:07.502
<v Speaker 4>when he was losing hair, he got hair transplants and

0:15:07.542 --> 0:15:09.342
<v Speaker 4>then his Hollywood career took off again.

0:15:09.942 --> 0:15:14.502
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's big business, the hair transplants. Oh, which brings

0:15:14.542 --> 0:15:16.982
<v Speaker 2>me in a nice segway to my friend Prince Harry,

0:15:17.182 --> 0:15:19.622
<v Speaker 2>who I am convinced has had a hair transplant, but

0:15:19.662 --> 0:15:22.182
<v Speaker 2>that's just my theory. Nothing to see him move along.

0:15:22.542 --> 0:15:24.942
<v Speaker 2>And we all know I was wrong about Kate's blonde,

0:15:25.022 --> 0:15:27.422
<v Speaker 2>so you never know. Anyway, a little bit of Harry

0:15:27.462 --> 0:15:31.022
<v Speaker 2>gossip for my Royal roundup. Watch this week what happens

0:15:31.062 --> 0:15:33.662
<v Speaker 2>in England with Hazard because he's there right and this

0:15:33.742 --> 0:15:36.462
<v Speaker 2>is significant because this is the first time that Prince

0:15:36.462 --> 0:15:39.102
<v Speaker 2>Harry has been back to Britain since he famously lost

0:15:39.142 --> 0:15:40.942
<v Speaker 2>that court case you know where he said that he

0:15:41.062 --> 0:15:44.902
<v Speaker 2>wanted to automatically get the highest level of protection from

0:15:44.942 --> 0:15:47.702
<v Speaker 2>the British police when every time he went to Britain

0:15:47.702 --> 0:15:49.622
<v Speaker 2>and he lost that case and he was really mad

0:15:49.662 --> 0:15:52.022
<v Speaker 2>about it, and he went on the BBC and sprayed

0:15:52.102 --> 0:15:55.062
<v Speaker 2>basically and pretty much accused his family of not caring

0:15:55.062 --> 0:15:57.102
<v Speaker 2>whether he died when he was on their soil.

0:15:56.982 --> 0:15:59.142
<v Speaker 1>And it cost him millions, to cost him millions.

0:15:59.182 --> 0:16:01.742
<v Speaker 2>It was not good. He was going nuclear about it. Anyway,

0:16:01.782 --> 0:16:04.502
<v Speaker 2>he's back and what's interesting is that he's gone back

0:16:04.542 --> 0:16:08.342
<v Speaker 2>for a charity function also the anniversary of the Queen's death.

0:16:08.662 --> 0:16:11.862
<v Speaker 2>But he has gone by for a charity function tonight London,

0:16:11.942 --> 0:16:14.022
<v Speaker 2>time for a charity that his sport's called Well Child.

0:16:14.062 --> 0:16:16.782
<v Speaker 2>He went to that last year too. He's also going

0:16:16.822 --> 0:16:19.662
<v Speaker 2>to another children's charity event where he's expected to announce

0:16:19.662 --> 0:16:22.142
<v Speaker 2>a big donation to this charity in another part of England.

0:16:22.462 --> 0:16:24.622
<v Speaker 2>But what's interesting is all the leaks that are coming

0:16:24.622 --> 0:16:27.222
<v Speaker 2>out clearly from his people, because they're in People magazine

0:16:27.262 --> 0:16:30.422
<v Speaker 2>and everything, are saying Harry is so excited to be there,

0:16:30.742 --> 0:16:32.262
<v Speaker 2>He's going to make the most of it, He's going

0:16:32.302 --> 0:16:34.742
<v Speaker 2>to have fun. They are clearly trying to change the

0:16:34.862 --> 0:16:40.422
<v Speaker 2>tune from sad Harry feeling unloved and unwelcome to happy

0:16:40.462 --> 0:16:42.822
<v Speaker 2>Harry can't wait to be back. But everyone is saying

0:16:42.982 --> 0:16:44.742
<v Speaker 2>is he going to see his dad? It is generally

0:16:44.782 --> 0:16:47.782
<v Speaker 2>believed that he has not seen Charles since February twenty

0:16:47.822 --> 0:16:48.422
<v Speaker 2>twenty four.

0:16:48.622 --> 0:16:50.622
<v Speaker 4>Well, the league's coming out on the other side too,

0:16:50.742 --> 0:16:54.422
<v Speaker 4>because in the Telegraph, which I believe is commonly referred

0:16:54.462 --> 0:16:57.302
<v Speaker 4>to as the Tory Graph because it's quite conservative and

0:16:57.382 --> 0:17:00.342
<v Speaker 4>more royal family and line establishment, there was an article

0:17:00.382 --> 0:17:03.742
<v Speaker 4>saying that he's absolutely not going to meet with Charles,

0:17:04.101 --> 0:17:05.661
<v Speaker 4>and he's certainly not going to meet with William.

0:17:06.022 --> 0:17:06.782
<v Speaker 1>That's not Willy on.

0:17:06.702 --> 0:17:09.821
<v Speaker 4>The Pale, but also not Charles and also make the

0:17:09.821 --> 0:17:12.982
<v Speaker 4>point that since Center Barlay, that charity that he started,

0:17:13.022 --> 0:17:17.101
<v Speaker 4>had the bullying scandal, he's really been casting about and

0:17:17.341 --> 0:17:20.542
<v Speaker 4>he wants to have a kind of royal proxy role

0:17:20.621 --> 0:17:22.622
<v Speaker 4>where he can show up at charities and he can

0:17:22.661 --> 0:17:25.782
<v Speaker 4>do the good works. But Center Barlay's kind of imploded

0:17:25.821 --> 0:17:28.061
<v Speaker 4>on him, and so there's a feeling with this visit

0:17:28.141 --> 0:17:30.222
<v Speaker 4>that he's kind of casting about something new.

0:17:30.502 --> 0:17:32.341
<v Speaker 2>It'd be really sad if he doesn't go and have

0:17:32.381 --> 0:17:34.142
<v Speaker 2>a pop in with King Charle, I know.

0:17:34.262 --> 0:17:36.862
<v Speaker 3>Especially since how much he's been expressing that he wants to.

0:17:38.101 --> 0:17:43.141
<v Speaker 3>In a moment, Australian wellness figure Pete Evans has returned

0:17:43.422 --> 0:17:46.101
<v Speaker 3>and we want to unpack what role he is playing

0:17:46.101 --> 0:17:52.741
<v Speaker 3>in the culture now. Pete Evans, the fifty two year

0:17:52.782 --> 0:17:55.302
<v Speaker 3>old former television chef he used to be on My

0:17:55.422 --> 0:17:58.742
<v Speaker 3>Kitchen Rolls, made a rare public appearance earlier this month

0:17:58.861 --> 0:18:02.061
<v Speaker 3>on a podcast called Get Harder. He was back on

0:18:02.101 --> 0:18:03.581
<v Speaker 3>my Instagram.

0:18:03.182 --> 0:18:04.942
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all over my socials.

0:18:05.101 --> 0:18:07.342
<v Speaker 1>Yeah to subscribe to the Get Harder podcast.

0:18:07.422 --> 0:18:07.822
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:18:07.821 --> 0:18:10.621
<v Speaker 3>No, I thought that there was probably a side of

0:18:10.661 --> 0:18:13.142
<v Speaker 3>Instagram where Pete Evans still was because I knew he'd

0:18:13.141 --> 0:18:16.901
<v Speaker 3>had his account reactivated, but I hadn't seen him before

0:18:16.901 --> 0:18:19.861
<v Speaker 3>we get to any of that, just to refresh. Evans

0:18:20.302 --> 0:18:24.262
<v Speaker 3>was an acclaimed author and TV personality whose claims about

0:18:24.302 --> 0:18:28.781
<v Speaker 3>health and wellness became increasingly outlandish. So first there was

0:18:28.861 --> 0:18:32.341
<v Speaker 3>the Paleo Cookbook for Mothers and Babies, which he released

0:18:32.381 --> 0:18:36.261
<v Speaker 3>in twenty fifteen, and that was enormously controversial because of

0:18:36.422 --> 0:18:40.621
<v Speaker 3>a recipe which of the bone broth recipe for infants

0:18:40.821 --> 0:18:43.061
<v Speaker 3>that dietitians came out and they were like, this would

0:18:43.222 --> 0:18:45.462
<v Speaker 3>do a lot of harm to a child a baby.

0:18:46.022 --> 0:18:48.741
<v Speaker 3>Then came the Healing Lamp he tried to market in

0:18:48.782 --> 0:18:51.982
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty as a treatment for COVID, and that landed

0:18:52.061 --> 0:18:54.302
<v Speaker 3>him with a fine of more than twenty five thousand

0:18:54.302 --> 0:18:58.621
<v Speaker 3>dollars from the Therapeutic Goods Administration. Look, there's much more,

0:18:58.782 --> 0:19:01.982
<v Speaker 3>but long story short. He got pulled off Instagram and Facebook,

0:19:02.022 --> 0:19:06.542
<v Speaker 3>where he was very influential and had a massive, massive platform,

0:19:06.782 --> 0:19:11.101
<v Speaker 3>and he was pulled off for deliberately spreading misinformation this year.

0:19:11.462 --> 0:19:15.182
<v Speaker 3>Earlier this year, however, he was back and he has

0:19:15.302 --> 0:19:18.142
<v Speaker 3>a much smaller audience, but he's there. He is being

0:19:18.182 --> 0:19:22.462
<v Speaker 3>interviewed on many podcasts about how the lockdown in Melbourne

0:19:22.502 --> 0:19:25.942
<v Speaker 3>was a disaster. How people are scared of his teachings

0:19:26.141 --> 0:19:29.021
<v Speaker 3>because they get people out of the system. By that,

0:19:29.061 --> 0:19:32.981
<v Speaker 3>he means the hospital medical system, and we all know

0:19:33.022 --> 0:19:34.421
<v Speaker 3>how lucrative that system is.

0:19:34.581 --> 0:19:36.222
<v Speaker 2>I think what you're referring to is what he would

0:19:36.222 --> 0:19:37.941
<v Speaker 2>call the medical industrial complex. Y.

0:19:38.141 --> 0:19:40.821
<v Speaker 3>Yes, exactly, rash exactly. He's going up against those guys.

0:19:41.022 --> 0:19:43.221
<v Speaker 3>He's wearing a t shirt that says food is Medicine,

0:19:43.302 --> 0:19:46.822
<v Speaker 3>and he's also selling a bunch of retreats. What's interesting

0:19:46.901 --> 0:19:49.782
<v Speaker 3>to me is that a lot of his beliefs now

0:19:50.141 --> 0:19:54.901
<v Speaker 3>are sounding familiar and quite in tune with a cultural

0:19:55.422 --> 0:20:00.101
<v Speaker 3>reset we've seen, particularly since the pandemic. A lot of

0:20:00.141 --> 0:20:02.542
<v Speaker 3>his beliefs are sort of the bedrock of the Make

0:20:02.581 --> 0:20:06.341
<v Speaker 3>America Healthy Again or MAHA movement, spearheaded by Robert F.

0:20:06.422 --> 0:20:10.701
<v Speaker 3>Kennedy Junior, the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Is

0:20:10.742 --> 0:20:15.381
<v Speaker 3>this all becoming far more mainstream and is it kind

0:20:15.381 --> 0:20:16.782
<v Speaker 3>of happening across the world.

0:20:17.222 --> 0:20:20.101
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And it's such a sort of strange alliance of

0:20:20.222 --> 0:20:23.502
<v Speaker 4>people because I think one of you mentioned that he's

0:20:23.542 --> 0:20:27.222
<v Speaker 4>also shilling for bitcoin at the same time, right, Yeah,

0:20:27.621 --> 0:20:30.662
<v Speaker 4>And he's appearing at a bitcoin conference in Las Vegas

0:20:30.702 --> 0:20:33.021
<v Speaker 4>as we speak, which I'm disappointed to be missing.

0:20:33.542 --> 0:20:34.622
<v Speaker 1>But I wonder.

0:20:34.341 --> 0:20:39.022
<v Speaker 4>Why there's this sort of overlapse between insul culture or

0:20:39.061 --> 0:20:45.501
<v Speaker 4>the manisphere. More accurately, I think cryptocurrency, health nuts. I

0:20:45.542 --> 0:20:47.942
<v Speaker 4>wonder what that coalition is all about. And we see

0:20:47.982 --> 0:20:51.341
<v Speaker 4>it most vividly in the Trump administration. Because Donald Trump

0:20:51.422 --> 0:20:53.982
<v Speaker 4>is not a man who's concerned with wellness culture. I

0:20:54.022 --> 0:20:58.901
<v Speaker 4>would say we talked about his love, but he knew

0:20:59.101 --> 0:21:02.702
<v Speaker 4>by inviting Robert F. Kennedy Junior, a former Democrat, into

0:21:02.782 --> 0:21:05.542
<v Speaker 4>his coalition, he knew that he was tapping into this

0:21:05.621 --> 0:21:11.421
<v Speaker 4>increasingly important, vocal group of men and women who were

0:21:11.462 --> 0:21:15.141
<v Speaker 4>interested in cryptocurrency, interested in health, and the idea of

0:21:15.182 --> 0:21:18.622
<v Speaker 4>bucking the mainstream culture in these ways. And he knew

0:21:18.661 --> 0:21:21.302
<v Speaker 4>that that was a very powerful political coalition. Of course,

0:21:21.302 --> 0:21:24.502
<v Speaker 4>Ourka Junior's doing all sorts of terrible things right now.

0:21:24.581 --> 0:21:27.901
<v Speaker 4>So for instance, when he was first nominated, he said, no,

0:21:28.022 --> 0:21:31.302
<v Speaker 4>I love vaccines. I'm very mainstream, I believe in science.

0:21:31.821 --> 0:21:34.181
<v Speaker 4>He appeared before a Congressional committee last week and kind

0:21:34.222 --> 0:21:36.502
<v Speaker 4>of just threw all of that out the window. He

0:21:36.542 --> 0:21:39.302
<v Speaker 4>said he thinks that the COVID vaccine should no longer

0:21:39.341 --> 0:21:41.902
<v Speaker 4>be recommended for healthy adults, and in fact, they've decided

0:21:41.901 --> 0:21:43.981
<v Speaker 4>not to do that in the US. He says he

0:21:43.982 --> 0:21:45.861
<v Speaker 4>doesn't know how many people died of COVID in the

0:21:45.942 --> 0:21:48.461
<v Speaker 4>US during the pandemic. It was one point two million,

0:21:48.901 --> 0:21:52.022
<v Speaker 4>and he fired an entire panel of childhood vaccine experts,

0:21:52.182 --> 0:21:54.341
<v Speaker 4>opening the door for states like Florida to say that

0:21:54.381 --> 0:21:56.821
<v Speaker 4>you do not have to get childhood vaccines to ender

0:21:56.861 --> 0:21:59.821
<v Speaker 4>school there, which is making people worried about polio. So

0:22:00.222 --> 0:22:02.422
<v Speaker 4>there are real effects of these Why do you think

0:22:02.462 --> 0:22:05.502
<v Speaker 4>this has such purchase right now? Because I think there's

0:22:05.502 --> 0:22:07.501
<v Speaker 4>a kernel of truth to it. There are things in

0:22:07.542 --> 0:22:11.542
<v Speaker 4>our modern lifestyle that clearly doing us damage. You only

0:22:11.581 --> 0:22:13.341
<v Speaker 4>have to look at the fact that early on set

0:22:13.381 --> 0:22:17.621
<v Speaker 4>cancers are hugely on the rise, particularly the gastro intestinal ones.

0:22:17.982 --> 0:22:21.061
<v Speaker 4>And look, doctors have speculated as to why this is,

0:22:21.101 --> 0:22:24.821
<v Speaker 4>and they've identified some things like obesity and microplastics, by

0:22:24.861 --> 0:22:27.102
<v Speaker 4>the way, two things that RFK Junior has been very

0:22:27.141 --> 0:22:29.262
<v Speaker 4>vocal about the fact that he wants to fight.

0:22:29.621 --> 0:22:31.022
<v Speaker 1>But also, we still don't.

0:22:30.861 --> 0:22:34.622
<v Speaker 4>Really know why young people are getting cancer at higher rates.

0:22:34.661 --> 0:22:36.502
<v Speaker 4>So I think there's a kernel of truth to it.

0:22:36.742 --> 0:22:39.142
<v Speaker 2>I'm fascinated by Pete Evans, and I always have been

0:22:39.182 --> 0:22:43.582
<v Speaker 2>because when he was at his peak of influence paleo influence,

0:22:43.621 --> 0:22:46.302
<v Speaker 2>I mean, because obviously he became very famous and built

0:22:46.341 --> 0:22:48.262
<v Speaker 2>up a massive following just being a handsome guy who

0:22:48.302 --> 0:22:50.022
<v Speaker 2>was on My Kitchen Rules and was kind of charming

0:22:50.061 --> 0:22:53.382
<v Speaker 2>next to Manu, right, and everybody liked that. And then

0:22:53.502 --> 0:22:56.742
<v Speaker 2>he became really interested in this Food is Medicine movement.

0:22:57.101 --> 0:22:59.262
<v Speaker 2>And what was fascinating is if you watched his social

0:22:59.302 --> 0:23:02.221
<v Speaker 2>media at that time, which I did. Obviously writing on

0:23:02.262 --> 0:23:05.262
<v Speaker 2>the internet was a He had a huge community, but

0:23:05.341 --> 0:23:08.581
<v Speaker 2>it started from you know, here's some nice salads, here's

0:23:08.621 --> 0:23:11.141
<v Speaker 2>some healthy things to that all looked delicious, and then

0:23:11.182 --> 0:23:14.781
<v Speaker 2>you could watch his slide into Black Lives Matter as

0:23:14.782 --> 0:23:18.341
<v Speaker 2>a conspiracy, COVID as a conspiracy big farmers out to

0:23:18.381 --> 0:23:20.542
<v Speaker 2>get us all, like it's like a case study of

0:23:20.661 --> 0:23:23.341
<v Speaker 2>radicalization if you watched what was happening with him. But

0:23:23.462 --> 0:23:25.861
<v Speaker 2>one of the things that made him so powerful and effective,

0:23:26.341 --> 0:23:30.581
<v Speaker 2>and I would say still makes him quite powerful and effective,

0:23:31.101 --> 0:23:33.822
<v Speaker 2>is that the community that he built up, particularly on Facebook,

0:23:33.861 --> 0:23:35.821
<v Speaker 2>because when he got tossed off those platforms, he had

0:23:35.861 --> 0:23:38.741
<v Speaker 2>and combined following about two million, and I listened to

0:23:38.782 --> 0:23:41.581
<v Speaker 2>this podcast interview that you're talking about Jesse. He is

0:23:41.821 --> 0:23:46.101
<v Speaker 2>entirely unapologetic about absolutely anything, and in fact, he's not

0:23:46.222 --> 0:23:48.341
<v Speaker 2>even whinging about it. He just says, this was my journey,

0:23:48.381 --> 0:23:50.302
<v Speaker 2>and I was. He sees himself very much as a

0:23:50.341 --> 0:23:53.701
<v Speaker 2>sort of messiah in a way. But he had this

0:23:53.821 --> 0:23:56.221
<v Speaker 2>very engaged community who had followed some of his dietary

0:23:56.222 --> 0:23:59.221
<v Speaker 2>advice and found it massively helpful. And those are real people.

0:23:59.262 --> 0:24:01.142
<v Speaker 2>And he said that most of them were women, most

0:24:01.182 --> 0:24:03.942
<v Speaker 2>of them were over forty, and they became his evangelical

0:24:04.061 --> 0:24:06.982
<v Speaker 2>foot soldiers. And I'm not diminishing them in any way.

0:24:07.061 --> 0:24:10.181
<v Speaker 2>The stories were very real about the ways that changing

0:24:10.182 --> 0:24:11.782
<v Speaker 2>the way they ate had made them feel better and

0:24:11.821 --> 0:24:14.502
<v Speaker 2>more energized and all of these things. And if you

0:24:14.621 --> 0:24:17.141
<v Speaker 2>ever wrote anything negative about Pete Evans on the Internet

0:24:17.141 --> 0:24:21.061
<v Speaker 2>in those days, which I did, I'm afraid it's trolling,

0:24:21.141 --> 0:24:23.341
<v Speaker 2>Like I haven't had it on any other topic. People

0:24:23.381 --> 0:24:25.861
<v Speaker 2>would come for you because it men or women, a

0:24:25.861 --> 0:24:28.861
<v Speaker 2>lot both, but a lot of people who genuinely felt

0:24:28.901 --> 0:24:31.861
<v Speaker 2>like this information had been really really helpful to them.

0:24:31.942 --> 0:24:33.821
<v Speaker 2>And who are you to say that it's nonsense? And

0:24:33.861 --> 0:24:36.581
<v Speaker 2>I get that right. But the thing that you then

0:24:36.702 --> 0:24:41.022
<v Speaker 2>saw that's overreach is like eating healthily, cutting out lots

0:24:41.061 --> 0:24:43.581
<v Speaker 2>of processed foods, trying to eat you know, lean meat,

0:24:43.621 --> 0:24:46.302
<v Speaker 2>lots of organic vegetables, all of that stuff. Great, great

0:24:46.621 --> 0:24:50.622
<v Speaker 2>bit privileged, bit special, but great. But then this overstep

0:24:50.661 --> 0:24:53.222
<v Speaker 2>would be and you can cure X, and you can

0:24:53.262 --> 0:24:56.462
<v Speaker 2>cure Y. And the reason your child has this diagnosis

0:24:56.502 --> 0:25:00.101
<v Speaker 2>is because that and it's the overreach and the overreach.

0:25:00.141 --> 0:25:04.421
<v Speaker 2>It's really interesting, and I wonder if that army of

0:25:04.462 --> 0:25:08.741
<v Speaker 2>his is still engaged in mainstream or not, because you

0:25:08.782 --> 0:25:10.661
<v Speaker 2>can't deny that some of the things that he was

0:25:10.702 --> 0:25:14.061
<v Speaker 2>talking about that sort of got him mocked in those days,

0:25:14.141 --> 0:25:16.262
<v Speaker 2>just like Gwyneth Paltrow says this a lot too, and

0:25:16.381 --> 0:25:18.982
<v Speaker 2>now pretty mainstream. If you want to go to Pete

0:25:19.022 --> 0:25:22.982
<v Speaker 2>Evans Retreat, I looked it up. Cost you about two

0:25:22.982 --> 0:25:25.461
<v Speaker 2>grand for two nights to go to the beautiful property

0:25:25.502 --> 0:25:28.581
<v Speaker 2>and have a weekend of wellness. But you're looking at

0:25:28.661 --> 0:25:33.462
<v Speaker 2>you know, magnesium baths, infrared saunas, forest bathing, like this

0:25:33.502 --> 0:25:35.342
<v Speaker 2>is all stuff that lots of people are doing all

0:25:35.381 --> 0:25:38.621
<v Speaker 2>the time. You know, even the heat lamp thing that

0:25:38.661 --> 0:25:41.942
<v Speaker 2>he sold, which was obviously extreme, and he massively overstepped

0:25:41.982 --> 0:25:44.742
<v Speaker 2>by tying it to COVID. But people are in infrared

0:25:44.782 --> 0:25:47.302
<v Speaker 2>saunas at all, kinds of wellness retreats all over the

0:25:47.341 --> 0:25:49.421
<v Speaker 2>place at the moment, and a lot of this stuff

0:25:49.422 --> 0:25:53.821
<v Speaker 2>has become really mainstream. And so his weapon, if you like,

0:25:53.901 --> 0:25:56.182
<v Speaker 2>is saying, well, I was right, I was right.

0:25:57.141 --> 0:26:00.661
<v Speaker 3>And never accepting for it, and never accepting the things

0:26:00.702 --> 0:26:02.861
<v Speaker 3>that he was wrong about. And the issue with a

0:26:02.861 --> 0:26:06.821
<v Speaker 3>lot of these alternative remedies is that they haven't been

0:26:06.821 --> 0:26:08.621
<v Speaker 3>put through clinical trials because a lot of them are

0:26:08.621 --> 0:26:12.221
<v Speaker 3>really difficult to do so, because these are human bodies

0:26:12.222 --> 0:26:15.381
<v Speaker 3>and it would be dangerous. And often traditional medicine doesn't

0:26:15.381 --> 0:26:16.941
<v Speaker 3>say these don't work. They just say we don't have

0:26:17.022 --> 0:26:20.662
<v Speaker 3>enough evidence. And that's the way that science works and evolves.

0:26:20.821 --> 0:26:23.462
<v Speaker 3>And so the criticism of science as well is that, well,

0:26:23.462 --> 0:26:25.901
<v Speaker 3>they told us this, and now it's this. Yes, science

0:26:25.982 --> 0:26:29.981
<v Speaker 3>changes its mind by virtue of running experiments and research studies.

0:26:30.061 --> 0:26:30.302
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:26:31.022 --> 0:26:33.662
<v Speaker 3>And I listened to this great Ezra Klein episode last

0:26:33.661 --> 0:26:37.302
<v Speaker 3>week about how make America Healthy Again is a bad

0:26:37.341 --> 0:26:40.421
<v Speaker 3>answer to a very good question, and the core of

0:26:40.462 --> 0:26:44.342
<v Speaker 3>it the idea that our diets and processed food and

0:26:44.381 --> 0:26:47.701
<v Speaker 3>maybe medicines that we're taking and all of that have

0:26:47.821 --> 0:26:52.902
<v Speaker 3>contributed to maybe more widespread ill health. The increasing kind

0:26:52.942 --> 0:26:56.981
<v Speaker 3>of diagnosis and stuff isn't necessarily helping. And I was

0:26:56.982 --> 0:27:00.142
<v Speaker 3>thinking about that and a lot of because, as you say, Amelia,

0:27:00.262 --> 0:27:04.222
<v Speaker 3>this rise of illnesses in young people, sort of these

0:27:04.341 --> 0:27:07.581
<v Speaker 3>random cancers in people that appear health like, it's just

0:27:07.742 --> 0:27:11.421
<v Speaker 3>it's horrific. Speaking to a friend recently, and we were saying,

0:27:11.982 --> 0:27:14.782
<v Speaker 3>people who have been diagnosed, gone through the treatment that

0:27:14.861 --> 0:27:18.181
<v Speaker 3>ultimately saved their lives, which is chemo or radiation or

0:27:18.182 --> 0:27:21.421
<v Speaker 3>a mixture or surgery, come out the other end with

0:27:21.502 --> 0:27:26.182
<v Speaker 3>an openness to alternative therapies and a streak of what

0:27:26.222 --> 0:27:28.942
<v Speaker 3>we call WU. And I don't mean that to denigrate

0:27:29.022 --> 0:27:31.101
<v Speaker 3>it at all. I just think it's a really interesting

0:27:31.182 --> 0:27:31.702
<v Speaker 3>data point.

0:27:31.782 --> 0:27:33.421
<v Speaker 2>I think the other reason for that, and this is

0:27:33.661 --> 0:27:36.502
<v Speaker 2>the demographic that Pete Evans says his followers were this

0:27:36.581 --> 0:27:40.661
<v Speaker 2>over forties women. There are so many women who are

0:27:40.702 --> 0:27:42.782
<v Speaker 2>not getting the answers to the questions that they have

0:27:42.982 --> 0:27:45.542
<v Speaker 2>at their GP. And that's where most of us who

0:27:45.581 --> 0:27:47.821
<v Speaker 2>don't have the resources or the access to go to

0:27:47.901 --> 0:27:50.302
<v Speaker 2>a million different specialists and get a million test runs.

0:27:50.302 --> 0:27:52.221
<v Speaker 2>We go to our GP and we say I'm feeling

0:27:52.222 --> 0:27:54.422
<v Speaker 2>like this, I'm feeling like that, and they'll be like, oh,

0:27:54.661 --> 0:27:56.542
<v Speaker 2>just could be nothing, could be this, could be that,

0:27:56.581 --> 0:28:00.061
<v Speaker 2>But they're unsatisfactory answers, and so you go looking online

0:28:00.061 --> 0:28:04.661
<v Speaker 2>for more satisfactory answers. And it doesn't seem massively odd

0:28:04.702 --> 0:28:07.101
<v Speaker 2>that if you change the way you eat and change

0:28:07.101 --> 0:28:08.982
<v Speaker 2>the way you live and start exercising and blah blah

0:28:09.022 --> 0:28:11.222
<v Speaker 2>and you start feel better, that you might feel incredibly

0:28:11.222 --> 0:28:15.582
<v Speaker 2>evangelical about that because it has changed your life. The problem, though,

0:28:15.581 --> 0:28:17.862
<v Speaker 2>the fact that he may well have had an undeniable

0:28:17.861 --> 0:28:21.061
<v Speaker 2>positive impact on some people's health through diet advice, is

0:28:21.101 --> 0:28:23.461
<v Speaker 2>that the other part that goes hand in hand with

0:28:23.502 --> 0:28:26.101
<v Speaker 2>this that really upsets people, and for very good reason,

0:28:26.381 --> 0:28:28.581
<v Speaker 2>is that the core of it all is a kind

0:28:28.661 --> 0:28:31.302
<v Speaker 2>of well, if you're sick, it's your fault. And he

0:28:31.341 --> 0:28:33.821
<v Speaker 2>says on this podcast as well as you know, as

0:28:33.821 --> 0:28:36.901
<v Speaker 2>I say, he's just incredibly confident, incredibly apologetic, but he

0:28:36.901 --> 0:28:40.302
<v Speaker 2>basically says he believes that mindset can cure almost anything,

0:28:40.862 --> 0:28:44.062
<v Speaker 2>and that kind of advice is not only dangerous because

0:28:44.062 --> 0:28:46.382
<v Speaker 2>it can stop people from seeking the treatment that they need,

0:28:46.742 --> 0:28:51.181
<v Speaker 2>but also is emotionally devastating because it really puts the

0:28:51.382 --> 0:28:53.461
<v Speaker 2>what you just didn't fight hard enough, You had the

0:28:53.462 --> 0:28:56.262
<v Speaker 2>wrong mindset, you weren't willing to be disciplined enough with

0:28:56.342 --> 0:28:59.342
<v Speaker 2>your diet, and that is the toxic part of all this.

0:28:59.542 --> 0:29:03.022
<v Speaker 3>You know what, though, Holly, it's also deeply attractive because

0:29:03.062 --> 0:29:05.382
<v Speaker 3>when people run out of options, I mean, there is

0:29:05.502 --> 0:29:10.342
<v Speaker 3>nothing that sparks fearing people like ill health and their mortality.

0:29:10.702 --> 0:29:14.142
<v Speaker 3>You would do anything, you would believe in literally anything,

0:29:14.222 --> 0:29:17.102
<v Speaker 3>And so I have such empathy for people who then

0:29:17.222 --> 0:29:20.102
<v Speaker 3>move to some of these alternative treatments or follow these

0:29:20.102 --> 0:29:23.622
<v Speaker 3>people like gurus, because you know, sometimes you do get

0:29:23.622 --> 0:29:25.782
<v Speaker 3>to the end of the road and all you need

0:29:25.862 --> 0:29:26.342
<v Speaker 3>is hope.

0:29:26.462 --> 0:29:28.982
<v Speaker 2>But it would be like, you know, a populist prime

0:29:28.982 --> 0:29:31.461
<v Speaker 2>minister getting voted in in Australia and putting Pete Evans

0:29:31.502 --> 0:29:33.421
<v Speaker 2>in charge of our health system. It is not that

0:29:33.622 --> 0:29:34.302
<v Speaker 2>different to that.

0:29:34.422 --> 0:29:36.822
<v Speaker 4>Is it. No? And I think the other thing, the

0:29:36.902 --> 0:29:40.542
<v Speaker 4>other lesson that we've learned from the pandemic is that

0:29:41.022 --> 0:29:45.421
<v Speaker 4>silencing these people or deplatforming them to use that expression

0:29:45.661 --> 0:29:49.342
<v Speaker 4>doesn't work. Because Donald Trump was kicked off Twitter too.

0:29:49.982 --> 0:29:52.822
<v Speaker 4>We really crack down on the idea of you're not

0:29:52.862 --> 0:29:55.542
<v Speaker 4>allowed to say certain things on social media platforms, and

0:29:55.622 --> 0:29:58.221
<v Speaker 4>social media companies got on board with that idea. Remember

0:29:58.222 --> 0:30:00.822
<v Speaker 4>there used to be those little warnings during the pandemic

0:30:00.862 --> 0:30:04.342
<v Speaker 4>about medical misinformation on Instagram.

0:30:03.702 --> 0:30:05.302
<v Speaker 3>Some of which ended up being true.

0:30:05.661 --> 0:30:08.662
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so I think there was this issue of if

0:30:08.661 --> 0:30:10.981
<v Speaker 4>we don't let them speak, then they'll go away, but

0:30:11.022 --> 0:30:11.582
<v Speaker 4>they haven't.

0:30:11.902 --> 0:30:14.382
<v Speaker 3>It's interesting too that we're now telling a story about

0:30:14.382 --> 0:30:16.822
<v Speaker 3>the pandemic, and in this as Reclined episode where he

0:30:16.862 --> 0:30:19.582
<v Speaker 3>interviews experts, they say the two things people have forgotten

0:30:19.782 --> 0:30:22.462
<v Speaker 3>is the death that it's more than one million people died,

0:30:22.782 --> 0:30:25.622
<v Speaker 3>and the second is that the only reason this pandemic

0:30:25.702 --> 0:30:29.022
<v Speaker 3>ended was because of the vaccines. And to have rewritten

0:30:29.062 --> 0:30:32.742
<v Speaker 3>that narrative by now is just a fascinating response.

0:30:33.661 --> 0:30:36.022
<v Speaker 4>The Internet has died, and I know who killed it.

0:30:37.222 --> 0:30:40.062
<v Speaker 4>Let's step back. The Internet's gotten boring, right, You've noticed this.

0:30:40.222 --> 0:30:42.421
<v Speaker 4>Every time I want to procrastinate from work, I go

0:30:42.502 --> 0:30:44.822
<v Speaker 4>on to the Internet, which we used to call the

0:30:44.822 --> 0:30:46.902
<v Speaker 4>information super Highway, and now it's more just like a

0:30:46.942 --> 0:30:48.222
<v Speaker 4>sort of clogged side road.

0:30:48.462 --> 0:30:50.142
<v Speaker 1>It's just sit there's nothing there.

0:30:50.302 --> 0:30:52.982
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, okay, there's a reason why the CEO of

0:30:53.062 --> 0:30:56.422
<v Speaker 4>chat gpt. His name is Sam Altman. He has tweeted

0:30:56.462 --> 0:31:00.142
<v Speaker 4>that he now believes in this so called dead Internet theory.

0:31:00.502 --> 0:31:03.262
<v Speaker 4>This is a conspiracy theory which says that the majority

0:31:03.262 --> 0:31:06.342
<v Speaker 4>of content online now is actually generated by bots, it's

0:31:06.382 --> 0:31:09.302
<v Speaker 4>not actually by humans, and that's why the Internet has

0:31:09.302 --> 0:31:12.502
<v Speaker 4>got really boring. And Oltman said that a lot of

0:31:12.502 --> 0:31:15.022
<v Speaker 4>tweets now are being written by l elms, that is,

0:31:15.142 --> 0:31:17.942
<v Speaker 4>large language models, like the one that he produces called

0:31:18.022 --> 0:31:22.981
<v Speaker 4>chat GPT. Now you may wonder why someone who is

0:31:22.982 --> 0:31:25.822
<v Speaker 4>shilling chat gpt is also telling us that it's making

0:31:25.862 --> 0:31:29.382
<v Speaker 4>the Internet bad. It's because he has another company that

0:31:29.622 --> 0:31:33.062
<v Speaker 4>works out whether humans are really posting things online, Like

0:31:33.102 --> 0:31:35.981
<v Speaker 4>you know when it says click the boxes here that

0:31:36.142 --> 0:31:38.461
<v Speaker 4>have motorbikes in them to proof that you're human.

0:31:38.902 --> 0:31:39.942
<v Speaker 1>That's his other company.

0:31:40.222 --> 0:31:42.662
<v Speaker 3>Oh the amount of times I have to prove I'm

0:31:42.661 --> 0:31:42.982
<v Speaker 3>a human?

0:31:43.062 --> 0:31:45.342
<v Speaker 4>Oh and I get it by yeah, I'm like, what

0:31:45.382 --> 0:31:46.462
<v Speaker 4>do you mean by motorbike?

0:31:46.582 --> 0:31:48.382
<v Speaker 1>Like a little bit of a corner here? Is that

0:31:48.462 --> 0:31:50.302
<v Speaker 1>a motive that a pushbike? I have to do it

0:31:50.342 --> 0:31:51.182
<v Speaker 1>like four times.

0:31:51.222 --> 0:31:53.502
<v Speaker 3>Same and it's like the amount of times I get tested.

0:31:53.582 --> 0:31:56.262
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, how many times are they not humans, and

0:31:56.302 --> 0:31:57.862
<v Speaker 3>couldn't you get a bot to do this? I mean,

0:31:57.902 --> 0:31:58.742
<v Speaker 3>I suppose apparently.

0:31:58.782 --> 0:32:01.062
<v Speaker 4>This is the one thing that bots still can't do,

0:32:01.222 --> 0:32:03.782
<v Speaker 4>is they cannot recognize patterns that tell them what things

0:32:03.782 --> 0:32:06.182
<v Speaker 4>are and what things aren't. That's like the one thing

0:32:06.222 --> 0:32:07.382
<v Speaker 4>they haven't figured.

0:32:07.062 --> 0:32:10.782
<v Speaker 2>Out what to do yet. They're threatening highest strata of

0:32:11.462 --> 0:32:13.982
<v Speaker 2>a community's jobs and all of these things, but they

0:32:14.022 --> 0:32:17.342
<v Speaker 2>can't pick a motorbike. They cannot pick a motorbikes.

0:32:17.382 --> 0:32:20.622
<v Speaker 4>While there's in fact these like big warehouses where people

0:32:20.942 --> 0:32:25.062
<v Speaker 4>are trying to train computers to recognize objects bridges, So

0:32:25.102 --> 0:32:27.501
<v Speaker 4>there are people whose whole job it is to be like, hey, computer,

0:32:27.622 --> 0:32:29.102
<v Speaker 4>this is a bridge, this is a bridge, this is

0:32:29.142 --> 0:32:29.502
<v Speaker 4>a bridge.

0:32:29.502 --> 0:32:30.822
<v Speaker 1>I'm hoping eventually.

0:32:31.702 --> 0:32:34.262
<v Speaker 3>I've often thought this about Reddit, though, because I spend

0:32:34.262 --> 0:32:36.421
<v Speaker 3>a lot of time on Reddit, and they'll be a

0:32:36.502 --> 0:32:40.181
<v Speaker 3>mighty asshole. Is a famous kind of Subreddit or today

0:32:40.182 --> 0:32:42.782
<v Speaker 3>I learned or whatever. And you see trends and you

0:32:42.822 --> 0:32:45.622
<v Speaker 3>see patterns, and I've always thought not that it's a bot,

0:32:45.702 --> 0:32:48.582
<v Speaker 3>but that it's someone from Reddit. And same with Twitter. Right,

0:32:48.622 --> 0:32:50.302
<v Speaker 3>it's like someone planting no.

0:32:50.302 --> 0:32:50.822
<v Speaker 1>It's a bot.

0:32:50.982 --> 0:32:52.902
<v Speaker 3>A really yeah?

0:32:52.942 --> 0:32:54.622
<v Speaker 1>And I think you can start to tell now.

0:32:54.661 --> 0:32:57.941
<v Speaker 4>There is in fact a really interesting Wikipedia entry which

0:32:57.982 --> 0:33:00.421
<v Speaker 4>is all about the ways you can tell that something's

0:33:00.462 --> 0:33:04.062
<v Speaker 4>been written by AI and among the many signs are

0:33:04.222 --> 0:33:05.941
<v Speaker 4>an overuse of M dashes.

0:33:06.262 --> 0:33:09.142
<v Speaker 3>Which is an M dash is like a lot.

0:33:09.142 --> 0:33:13.942
<v Speaker 4>Really online, and also a lot of hyperbole, like, for instance,

0:33:14.022 --> 0:33:17.022
<v Speaker 4>the most interesting plant in the world is such and such,

0:33:17.302 --> 0:33:19.942
<v Speaker 4>just because the computer thinks that, because it's being asked

0:33:19.942 --> 0:33:22.342
<v Speaker 4>to write about it, it's a really important topic, which

0:33:22.342 --> 0:33:23.422
<v Speaker 4>is always the case.

0:33:23.262 --> 0:33:25.302
<v Speaker 3>Because you always see as well at the end of articles,

0:33:25.342 --> 0:33:29.021
<v Speaker 3>now you know there's recommended articles just from around the internet,

0:33:29.062 --> 0:33:31.702
<v Speaker 3>and it'll be like, you won't believe what this nineties

0:33:31.742 --> 0:33:34.822
<v Speaker 3>pop star looks like now, and it's a one hundred

0:33:34.862 --> 0:33:37.782
<v Speaker 3>and forty year old AI generated woman from an internet

0:33:37.822 --> 0:33:42.422
<v Speaker 3>website that doesn't exist. It's like, it's just absolute slop.

0:33:42.622 --> 0:33:45.382
<v Speaker 4>It's crap and it's everywhere. So many cures for belly

0:33:45.422 --> 0:33:49.382

<v Speaker 2>all our current subscribers.

0:34:12.222 --> 0:34:13.942
<v Speaker 3>Small talk gets a really bad rap.

0:34:13.982 --> 0:34:16.142
<v Speaker 4>I think I think I've heard you say, Holy, you

0:34:16.182 --> 0:34:17.262
<v Speaker 4>don't even like small.

0:34:17.062 --> 0:34:19.982
<v Speaker 2>Talk, so I can't be doing with it okay, And

0:34:20.062 --> 0:34:22.501
<v Speaker 2>I'm also really bad at it. To be honest, Well,

0:34:22.862 --> 0:34:24.582
<v Speaker 2>I haven't just a study for you.

0:34:24.701 --> 0:34:27.301
<v Speaker 4>There's a new study that's come out that explains how

0:34:27.342 --> 0:34:28.821
<v Speaker 4>we can all get better at small talk.

0:34:29.181 --> 0:34:31.301
<v Speaker 2>Actually, I just have to do a little correction to

0:34:31.342 --> 0:34:34.542
<v Speaker 2>the record. Actually, Amelia is because I remember years ago

0:34:34.582 --> 0:34:37.421
<v Speaker 2>when I started working with some young promising journalists called

0:34:37.462 --> 0:34:40.102
<v Speaker 2>Claire and Jesse Stevens. I actually had a word with

0:34:40.142 --> 0:34:43.981
<v Speaker 2>them about small talk beauns right, because they hadn't worked

0:34:43.982 --> 0:34:47.142
<v Speaker 2>in an office before and they didn't know that like

0:34:47.181 --> 0:34:49.421
<v Speaker 2>when somebody comes into the kitchen and says to you,

0:34:49.502 --> 0:34:53.461
<v Speaker 2>like how should that? It was good to engage them

0:34:53.661 --> 0:34:55.942
<v Speaker 2>like smile, say hello when you walk in. And I

0:34:56.062 --> 0:34:58.301
<v Speaker 2>was actually being an advocate for small talk at that

0:34:58.422 --> 0:35:00.422
<v Speaker 2>time in my life, when I was a manager, I

0:35:00.462 --> 0:35:02.421
<v Speaker 2>was like, all be nice to each other, all ask

0:35:02.502 --> 0:35:05.462
<v Speaker 2>each other how your weekends were, smile and nod. But

0:35:05.622 --> 0:35:07.981
<v Speaker 2>now I think maybe my tolerance for it is just warm.

0:35:08.462 --> 0:35:10.381
<v Speaker 2>I don't know so much small talk in you.

0:35:10.582 --> 0:35:12.341
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know that, like it was a learned skill

0:35:12.382 --> 0:35:13.942
<v Speaker 3>for me, that when you enter the office on a

0:35:13.942 --> 0:35:17.582
<v Speaker 3>Monday morning you vocally acknowledge those around you Like that

0:35:17.622 --> 0:35:19.382
<v Speaker 3>doesn't come naturally to me.

0:35:19.942 --> 0:35:23.582
<v Speaker 4>I am going to wager that what you told Jesse

0:35:23.982 --> 0:35:26.181
<v Speaker 4>about how to do small talk is in fact wrong,

0:35:28.302 --> 0:35:30.982
<v Speaker 4>because you know, when we're all taught how to make conversation,

0:35:31.181 --> 0:35:32.982
<v Speaker 4>one of the key rules is that you meant to

0:35:33.022 --> 0:35:35.062
<v Speaker 4>folly back and forth. It's meant to be like a

0:35:35.062 --> 0:35:37.062
<v Speaker 4>game of tennis. I don't play tennis, but this is

0:35:37.062 --> 0:35:39.462
<v Speaker 4>my understanding. I let the tennis correspond to chime in

0:35:39.781 --> 0:35:41.942
<v Speaker 4>where some ask you a question, then you asked them

0:35:41.942 --> 0:35:43.942
<v Speaker 4>a question back. So here's an example of how you

0:35:44.022 --> 0:35:46.342
<v Speaker 4>might do small talk this way. How is your weekend?

0:35:46.781 --> 0:35:48.542
<v Speaker 1>Oh good, I've binge to Netflix you.

0:35:49.022 --> 0:35:51.102
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I took my dog to the park. Oh nice,

0:35:51.142 --> 0:35:52.941
<v Speaker 4>what sort of dog is he? So do you see

0:35:52.942 --> 0:35:55.342
<v Speaker 4>what happened there? There was just a pinging back and forth.

0:35:55.462 --> 0:35:57.701
<v Speaker 4>It never got anywhere. You didn't ask what they were

0:35:57.741 --> 0:35:59.902
<v Speaker 4>watching on Netflix. It never got below the surface.

0:36:00.022 --> 0:36:00.542
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:36:00.661 --> 0:36:03.381
<v Speaker 4>Now, these psychologists say that you've got to get below

0:36:03.422 --> 0:36:05.741
<v Speaker 4>the surface because that's where human connection is. If you

0:36:05.781 --> 0:36:07.781
<v Speaker 4>stay on the surface, just pinging back and forth, you're

0:36:07.822 --> 0:36:10.542
<v Speaker 4>never going to get anywhere. And they have introduced this

0:36:10.582 --> 0:36:14.501
<v Speaker 4>concept called riffing. It's almost like flirting by another name.

0:36:14.661 --> 0:36:17.221
<v Speaker 4>It's like picking up something that someone said and rather

0:36:17.261 --> 0:36:20.102
<v Speaker 4>than just immediately volleying back a basic question to them,

0:36:20.342 --> 0:36:23.062
<v Speaker 4>making a little joke about it, or starting to sort

0:36:23.102 --> 0:36:25.301
<v Speaker 4>of do a little bit of imaginary play around it.

0:36:25.342 --> 0:36:27.542
<v Speaker 4>Think about kids. When little kids go to the park,

0:36:27.622 --> 0:36:30.462
<v Speaker 4>they're not engaging in small talk. They're immediately like we're

0:36:30.542 --> 0:36:34.381
<v Speaker 4>playing like shipwrecked pirates. You're the pirate, you're the you know,

0:36:34.422 --> 0:36:36.422
<v Speaker 4>the ocean coming up to the ship. But you know,

0:36:36.502 --> 0:36:39.301
<v Speaker 4>they like to just assign roles immediately.

0:36:38.862 --> 0:36:41.102
<v Speaker 2>And not like how are your snacks? My snacks are good.

0:36:41.142 --> 0:36:43.701
<v Speaker 3>And they understand the concept of yes, and that in

0:36:43.822 --> 0:36:46.341
<v Speaker 3>order to socialize you've got to lean in and go yes.

0:36:46.422 --> 0:36:48.422
<v Speaker 3>All of the books I read to Learna are about

0:36:48.422 --> 0:36:50.542
<v Speaker 3>like you might not want to play round and round,

0:36:50.982 --> 0:36:53.822
<v Speaker 3>but you have to in order to get along with Morton.

0:36:54.221 --> 0:36:58.222
<v Speaker 3>And I'm like, oh, really learning these lessons, I guess.

0:36:58.261 --> 0:37:01.142
<v Speaker 4>And this is a famous improvisational technique which says you've

0:37:01.181 --> 0:37:03.582
<v Speaker 4>always got to go along with what someone else proposes.

0:37:03.622 --> 0:37:06.341
<v Speaker 1>So here's how it might play out in small talk

0:37:06.781 --> 0:37:09.022
<v Speaker 1>role play. How is your weekend good?

0:37:09.102 --> 0:37:11.461
<v Speaker 4>But I watched way too many tiktoks of people making

0:37:11.502 --> 0:37:16.022
<v Speaker 4>little food whoall like little food, like dollhouse sized food. Yeah,

0:37:16.102 --> 0:37:17.862
<v Speaker 4>if you want to learn how to make lasagna in

0:37:17.942 --> 0:37:19.301
<v Speaker 4>a dollhouse, let me know.

0:37:19.942 --> 0:37:21.022
<v Speaker 1>That's hilarious.

0:37:21.181 --> 0:37:23.861
<v Speaker 4>We can organize a tiny food poplark and put it

0:37:23.902 --> 0:37:25.262
<v Speaker 4>all on this coaster.

0:37:26.502 --> 0:37:28.742
<v Speaker 1>And it sounds like any.

0:37:28.701 --> 0:37:31.982
<v Speaker 3>Questions, Yeah, it sounds like we're in an episode of Friends.

0:37:32.022 --> 0:37:38.142
<v Speaker 4>That's hilarious. Okay, here's the problem with it. I went

0:37:38.181 --> 0:37:41.062
<v Speaker 4>to the hairdresser this morning and she asked me how

0:37:41.102 --> 0:37:42.062
<v Speaker 4>my father's day was?

0:37:42.261 --> 0:37:43.702
<v Speaker 1>And I just read this article.

0:37:43.781 --> 0:37:46.142
<v Speaker 2>Hold on, yes, and what time do you go to

0:37:46.181 --> 0:37:50.942
<v Speaker 2>the hair in the morning because it's Monday.

0:37:53.542 --> 0:37:55.502
<v Speaker 3>Wow, that's amazing.

0:37:56.542 --> 0:38:02.021
<v Speaker 4>This is my dedication to the VOD format. So she said,

0:38:02.221 --> 0:38:05.262
<v Speaker 4>how was your father's Day? And I said, oh, it's good.

0:38:05.462 --> 0:38:07.062
<v Speaker 4>How's your father's Day? Yeah?

0:38:07.142 --> 0:38:09.382
<v Speaker 1>Good? And I just thought to myself there was no

0:38:10.382 --> 0:38:12.502
<v Speaker 1>to be fair at once seven am. Are you going

0:38:12.582 --> 0:38:13.862
<v Speaker 1>to be able to incorporate riffing?

0:38:13.902 --> 0:38:17.502
<v Speaker 2>HOI let's see if you're on your game and you're

0:38:17.542 --> 0:38:20.102
<v Speaker 2>feeling energetic, then yes, because I have a lot of

0:38:20.221 --> 0:38:22.661
<v Speaker 2>questions for you about the hairdressers. At seven, I am

0:38:23.582 --> 0:38:27.542
<v Speaker 2>not before coffee, but definitely need a coffee. But it

0:38:27.661 --> 0:38:30.341
<v Speaker 2>is true that sometimes because the problem with small talk

0:38:30.462 --> 0:38:33.102
<v Speaker 2>is sometimes you just do it to box tick obviously,

0:38:33.142 --> 0:38:35.342
<v Speaker 2>So I'm like, in the kitchen this morning, cup of tea,

0:38:35.422 --> 0:38:37.501
<v Speaker 2>how is your weekend good? How is your weekend good?

0:38:37.701 --> 0:38:42.341
<v Speaker 2>Awkward size, and then you're kind of like, oh, the

0:38:42.382 --> 0:38:44.662
<v Speaker 2>weather was it? Because it was? The weather was lovely,

0:38:44.822 --> 0:38:46.902
<v Speaker 2>wasn't it. And the thing is is there's a script

0:38:46.982 --> 0:38:49.741
<v Speaker 2>that we I bet there were five different versions more

0:38:49.822 --> 0:38:51.861
<v Speaker 2>of that in the kitchen this morning, where we all

0:38:51.862 --> 0:38:54.701
<v Speaker 2>said exactly the same thing. So I guess the way

0:38:54.701 --> 0:38:56.781
<v Speaker 2>we should have done that is I go, how is

0:38:56.822 --> 0:39:00.542
<v Speaker 2>your weekend? You say good? How was your weekend? I say, well,

0:39:01.542 --> 0:39:04.102
<v Speaker 2>I got some bad news from home. My dog vomited

0:39:04.142 --> 0:39:06.542
<v Speaker 2>on the carpet. I spent way too much time up

0:39:06.582 --> 0:39:08.381
<v Speaker 2>to my ears in horseshit, Like.

0:39:08.462 --> 0:39:11.261
<v Speaker 1>How is The response is that's hilarious.

0:39:11.622 --> 0:39:15.021
<v Speaker 4>We couldn't start a horse stable with all that horseshit, Jesse,

0:39:15.181 --> 0:39:16.902
<v Speaker 4>you had to learn small Yeah.

0:39:17.062 --> 0:39:20.622
<v Speaker 1>How could you could you incorporate this new rule? I

0:39:20.661 --> 0:39:21.022
<v Speaker 1>think so.

0:39:21.221 --> 0:39:23.701
<v Speaker 3>I like the idea and this is something that comes

0:39:23.781 --> 0:39:27.701
<v Speaker 3>up in all the small talk advice is levity, right,

0:39:27.822 --> 0:39:29.622
<v Speaker 3>because I think some people are like, I don't like

0:39:29.661 --> 0:39:32.181
<v Speaker 3>small talk. I'm going to talk about death, and it's like, no,

0:39:32.422 --> 0:39:34.622
<v Speaker 3>not at seven am with the hairdresser people.

0:39:34.661 --> 0:39:35.102
<v Speaker 2>You don't know.

0:39:35.342 --> 0:39:35.502
<v Speaker 4>No.

0:39:35.781 --> 0:39:38.382
<v Speaker 3>So I read this advice from a woman named Alison

0:39:38.422 --> 0:39:42.381
<v Speaker 3>wood Brooks and it's the talk. It's like an acronym talk.

0:39:42.822 --> 0:39:46.742
<v Speaker 3>So the first one stands for topics, and the idea

0:39:46.862 --> 0:39:48.542
<v Speaker 3>is that you know what, before you walk in on

0:39:48.542 --> 0:39:51.861
<v Speaker 3>a Monday morning, maybe have some topics. Yes, it says

0:39:52.102 --> 0:39:54.462
<v Speaker 3>people prepare way more what they're going to wear the

0:39:54.502 --> 0:39:56.221
<v Speaker 3>next day than what they're going to talk about. We

0:39:56.261 --> 0:39:57.661
<v Speaker 3>put so much thought into what we're going to wear,

0:39:57.701 --> 0:39:59.942
<v Speaker 3>and then we get in and we're like, like, someone's

0:39:59.942 --> 0:40:02.701
<v Speaker 3>going to ask you about your weekend. Have a think

0:40:02.741 --> 0:40:03.542
<v Speaker 3>what you're going to say?

0:40:03.741 --> 0:40:05.861
<v Speaker 2>This is because I do this to my kids, right,

0:40:06.062 --> 0:40:08.341
<v Speaker 2>is that if I'm going to take my kids too,

0:40:08.422 --> 0:40:10.181
<v Speaker 2>now that they're older and they or you know, they

0:40:10.181 --> 0:40:13.102
<v Speaker 2>can be little kids are entertaining for everybody, but teenagers

0:40:13.422 --> 0:40:15.661
<v Speaker 2>they'll be like, oh oh, they're going to be on

0:40:15.661 --> 0:40:17.741
<v Speaker 2>a call with their grandma for a while, and they're like, oh,

0:40:17.781 --> 0:40:19.942
<v Speaker 2>I want to be doing this. I'm like, think of

0:40:19.982 --> 0:40:22.862
<v Speaker 2>one story. Think of one story you're going to tell grandma.

0:40:23.062 --> 0:40:24.942
<v Speaker 2>Or when we go to this thing today, they're all

0:40:24.942 --> 0:40:27.262
<v Speaker 2>going to want to know, Matilda about your grand final

0:40:27.302 --> 0:40:29.902
<v Speaker 2>and Billy how you're doing at school. Those are boring questions.

0:40:29.942 --> 0:40:32.102
<v Speaker 2>Think of a good story, just one yeah story.

0:40:32.221 --> 0:40:32.741
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:40:32.781 --> 0:40:35.381
<v Speaker 2>So I prep them like that, And so what you're

0:40:35.422 --> 0:40:37.942
<v Speaker 2>saying is we should all be prepping like that before

0:40:37.982 --> 0:40:40.741
<v Speaker 2>we step into the arena of conversation.

0:40:41.062 --> 0:40:44.022
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, I actually I ran into someone yesterday who's

0:40:44.062 --> 0:40:47.902
<v Speaker 3>like an acquaintance, and weirdly he had been on my

0:40:47.982 --> 0:40:49.942
<v Speaker 3>mind because of the last conversation we had. So as

0:40:49.982 --> 0:40:51.582
<v Speaker 3>soon as I saw him, it wasn't awkward because I

0:40:51.582 --> 0:40:53.142
<v Speaker 3>was like, oh, my goodness, I'm so glad I ran

0:40:53.142 --> 0:40:55.062
<v Speaker 3>into you. I've been meaning to tell you black Like,

0:40:55.302 --> 0:40:57.102
<v Speaker 3>so that sort of thing is meant to be really good.

0:40:57.181 --> 0:40:59.341
<v Speaker 4>Can we role play what should I have done at

0:40:59.382 --> 0:41:02.102
<v Speaker 4>the hairdresser when she said, how is your father's day?

0:41:02.701 --> 0:41:04.741
<v Speaker 2>I think he should have prepared like.

0:41:05.781 --> 0:41:08.181
<v Speaker 4>You know, what's interesting. We tried a new method of

0:41:08.181 --> 0:41:11.622
<v Speaker 4>cooking steak, boiled it at the end, and does anyone

0:41:11.661 --> 0:41:12.142
<v Speaker 4>want to hear me?

0:41:12.382 --> 0:41:15.422
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you need to think of one interesting thing that

0:41:15.502 --> 0:41:17.381
<v Speaker 2>happened on your Father's day. Give me one.

0:41:17.422 --> 0:41:23.222
<v Speaker 1>Now that was that technique. I'm sorry, steak.

0:41:23.582 --> 0:41:25.261
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to give you the next and then you

0:41:25.302 --> 0:41:27.582
<v Speaker 3>have to do it. Okay, A is for asking, So

0:41:27.622 --> 0:41:29.622
<v Speaker 3>then you have to ask Holly a question based off

0:41:29.622 --> 0:41:31.702
<v Speaker 3>your Okay, maybe did you have steak?

0:41:31.822 --> 0:41:34.062
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? What's your preferred method of cooking stack?

0:41:34.142 --> 0:41:36.982
<v Speaker 3>Yes? Perfect? And then Holly say I.

0:41:36.822 --> 0:41:39.142
<v Speaker 2>Didn't cook the steak. My friend did, but she's very

0:41:39.181 --> 0:41:41.542
<v Speaker 2>good at cooking steak, and she made garlic butter with it.

0:41:41.661 --> 0:41:43.262
<v Speaker 1>Oh, now that's hilarious.

0:41:43.781 --> 0:41:48.181
<v Speaker 3>And then that brings us to levity or lightness. That's

0:41:48.261 --> 0:41:50.741
<v Speaker 3>hilarious levity because then Holly is going to say I

0:41:50.781 --> 0:41:51.741
<v Speaker 3>can't cook ha haha.

0:41:52.622 --> 0:41:55.022
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to say I probably had too much garlic butter.

0:41:55.181 --> 0:41:57.142
<v Speaker 2>Don't come too close to me this morning.

0:41:57.502 --> 0:41:59.782
<v Speaker 4>But then tell me what is is it kissing?

0:41:59.862 --> 0:42:02.781
<v Speaker 3>No, it's kindness, and you're going to say you don't stink.

0:42:06.382 --> 0:42:06.862
<v Speaker 2>Exactly.

0:42:07.022 --> 0:42:10.821
<v Speaker 3>Generosity apparently meant to come into situation and go, what

0:42:10.902 --> 0:42:12.821
<v Speaker 3>does this person you know? Sometimes you have small talk

0:42:12.862 --> 0:42:14.582
<v Speaker 3>and you go, oh, this person seems a little nervous.

0:42:14.622 --> 0:42:16.422
<v Speaker 3>It's like, oh, my job is to make this person

0:42:16.502 --> 0:42:20.422
<v Speaker 3>feel comfortable or less overwhelmed or whatever. And so it's

0:42:20.462 --> 0:42:23.022
<v Speaker 3>about like bringing generosity.

0:42:22.382 --> 0:42:24.862
<v Speaker 1>To ask levity kindness.

0:42:24.942 --> 0:42:25.622
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I like that.

0:42:25.862 --> 0:42:26.301
<v Speaker 1>I love it.

0:42:26.542 --> 0:42:28.941
<v Speaker 2>You haven't told us one interesting thing about your father's day?

0:42:29.022 --> 0:42:30.781
<v Speaker 3>Oh, one interesting thing about my father's day.

0:42:30.942 --> 0:42:32.701
<v Speaker 2>Did you make a fuss with all the fathers in

0:42:32.741 --> 0:42:33.262
<v Speaker 2>your life?

0:42:33.502 --> 0:42:35.781
<v Speaker 3>Yes? And I bought my dad a new T shirt.

0:42:35.781 --> 0:42:37.261
<v Speaker 3>He already had this T shirt. He wore it too

0:42:37.342 --> 0:42:39.301
<v Speaker 3>much and washed it too much that it was destroyed.

0:42:39.462 --> 0:42:42.781
<v Speaker 3>I've recommended threadheads on here before and it's a collage

0:42:42.822 --> 0:42:46.862
<v Speaker 3>of the girl's faces and lunar and it says pop

0:42:46.942 --> 0:42:49.822
<v Speaker 3>is the best on it. And so now we've decided

0:42:49.862 --> 0:42:51.542
<v Speaker 3>that he just can't wash it because the images will

0:42:51.542 --> 0:42:51.741
<v Speaker 3>come on.

0:42:51.862 --> 0:42:52.741
<v Speaker 1>Can I riff on that?

0:42:53.502 --> 0:42:59.222
<v Speaker 4>I got my partner some socks that have our two kids'

0:42:59.261 --> 0:42:59.781
<v Speaker 4>faces on.

0:43:03.261 --> 0:43:04.942
<v Speaker 3>Oh, that's got just brought them online.

0:43:05.221 --> 0:43:11.382
<v Speaker 2>Okay, very levity with that. Something new afoot in the

0:43:11.661 --> 0:43:21.102
<v Speaker 2>Melia Lester household. That was terrible cut cut, Oh dear, okay,

0:43:21.342 --> 0:43:24.221
<v Speaker 2>on that note, not that classy, classy, very neat.
