Speaker 1: So much. You're listening to a MoMA Mia podcast. Mom
Speaker 1: and Maya acknowledges the traditional owners of land and waters
Speaker 1: that this podcast is recorded on Hello and welcome to Cancel,
Speaker 1: The Lazy Girl's Guide to Bizarre celebrity cancelations. I'm Jesse
Speaker 1: Stevens and I am joined by Claire Stephens and it's
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Yeah, and I have been dreading today.
Speaker 1: I've been dreading it. Canceled four years been my favorite
Speaker 1: day of the way. It's not anymore. Okay, Claire, what
Speaker 1: are we canceling today? We are canceling Canceled. That is
Speaker 1: both a summary of today's episode and on the next
Speaker 1: istential level, it is an announcement. This is our last
Speaker 1: ever episode of Canceled. We're going to get to why, because,
Speaker 1: as is the case when any podcast ends, he's drama.
Speaker 1: There are people throwing things, there's gossip, there are agreements broken.
Speaker 1: I have a list of enemies. Oh my gosh, there's
Speaker 1: only two, but it's Liz Okay, friendships down the toilet.
Speaker 1: Family is destroyed. Yeah, that's what happens when a podcast ends.
Speaker 1: There's no other way about it. There is always a
Speaker 1: few there's an official statement. There's also an unpacking of
Speaker 1: that official stag. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, but
Speaker 1: all that will be revealed. Our structure for today is
Speaker 1: as follows, the origin story when things got weird. Is
Speaker 1: there a feud, yes or no? Hint yes, yes, accusations
Speaker 1: of laziness Jesse the origin story. According to my research,
Speaker 1: we started this podcast in August one. That is such
Speaker 1: a long time ago. It is, and I actually confirmed
Speaker 1: because we've said this generally for a while. You know,
Speaker 1: the other canceled, the American podcast called Cancel Yes, that
Speaker 1: started on July twenty sixth, literally two weeks before our
Speaker 1: canceled style. So we did copy here, Well, we didn't know.
Speaker 1: And everyone says that the thing with copyright and trademark
Speaker 1: is if you didn't know, then it doesn't shrug elogi.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's what people say, because I
Speaker 1: think they can accuse you of knowing. Yeah, because how
Speaker 1: can you prove we didn't. TikTok kept getting mad and
Speaker 1: saying we copied, and it's like we didn't because we
Speaker 1: didn't check. Will do you know if you knew how
Speaker 1: lazy we are? We were just two girls with a
Speaker 1: dream and a perspective. We felt that the internet was very,
Speaker 1: very earnest about their celebrities. This tweet was discriminatory, this
Speaker 1: thought was coded, and we were lumping a dude who
Speaker 1: bumbled his words in an interview with a literal criminal.
Speaker 1: And that felt weird us. So we thought, we'll make
Speaker 1: a little comedy podcast where we take the piss out
Speaker 1: of some of these ridiculous celebrity cancelations. Because celebrities are
Speaker 1: not serious. This is all a bit of silliness. It's
Speaker 1: a bit of fun. And we did quite early on
Speaker 1: decide that the scope of our show was we'd stop
Speaker 1: at the legal line. Sometimes we went and did a
Speaker 1: little bit tech dance tap dance over that line. We went,
Speaker 1: you know what, So there the courts have dealt with Harvey. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein for the court, the actual court, whereas Will
Speaker 1: Smith slapping somebody at the Academy Awards, that's for our court.
Speaker 2: It is Oh wow, wow, Will Smith just smacked the
Speaker 2: shit out of it.
Speaker 1: Remember Jada, Oh how is Jada? She stopped revealing. Where's
Speaker 1: red table talk? She revealed too hard? Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: why are we doing this? We should be on Red
Speaker 1: Table Talk? Oh my gosh me you and Jada sorting
Speaker 1: it out. Yeah yeah, yeah, no that's not that's for later.
Speaker 1: But then in twenty twenty two, so we've started the
Speaker 1: podcast going swimmingly. In August, the celebrities started doing genuinely
Speaker 1: batshit things. I thought the celebrities were doing the bat
Speaker 1: ship things and that's why we started the pod. They were,
Speaker 1: but they went to the next level early twenty twenty, Okay,
Speaker 1: I cried a few things happened. Ilaria Baldwinitozra revealed to
Speaker 1: not beat Spaniel, remember that she cucumber correct. Then Armie
Speaker 1: Hammer started low key eating people. He's still there's a
Speaker 1: lot of shame. There's a lot when you see Army Tamma,
Speaker 1: you go, honey, you're just not going to claw back
Speaker 1: from that, babe, because it's the image of you eating people.
Speaker 1: And it was very like he was very like, we
Speaker 1: can't do anything anymore. Yeah, And you can't even eat
Speaker 1: a rib. You can't. You can't send a message to
Speaker 1: someone saying you want to eat them. How the world's
Speaker 1: gone mad? Exactly? Political correctness too far. Remember, the Internet
Speaker 1: relentlessly went after James Corden for six months because maybe
Speaker 1: he was rude to some white stuff. Well, we say,
Speaker 1: maybe he confess. He confessed, and then there was a
Speaker 1: hare and then I think there was too much egg
Speaker 1: and his egg on like the wrong type of egg,
Speaker 1: his egg white. And then there was that amazing story
Speaker 1: on Reddit that was definitely a lie about this woman
Speaker 1: who was really struggling on a plane and someone watched
Speaker 1: her like put the luggage up, and she's managing a baby,
Speaker 1: and then she snapped at the person next to her
Speaker 1: who wasn't helping her, and it was James Corden and
Speaker 1: it was her husband Da And then we told that podcast.
Speaker 1: We told that story of the podcast, and then James
Speaker 1: Cordon's publicist emailed us and said, can you take it down?
Speaker 1: He was quite polite, he was a threat. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: we're like, is it We always assument it's not the
Speaker 1: real publicist, it's just someone who feels passionately about James Cordon.
Speaker 1: And we were like, good on you, you sent an email,
Speaker 1: will take it down. We didn't. We took the TikTok down.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we felt not the yeah, yeah, yeah, Look,
Speaker 1: And what was funny about James Corden is it It
Speaker 1: wasn't about the restaurant. It wasn't about the plane, It's
Speaker 1: about cats, which had happened about twenty nineteen, and people
Speaker 1: were still mad about that, was still mad about cats.
Speaker 1: We mentioned a few weeks ago that Wicked was put
Speaker 1: on the back burner because they've cats, and that is
Speaker 1: just the definition of yeah, sometimes you make the wrong
Speaker 1: call creatively. Do you think this podcast has been our
Speaker 1: cats and then on the back burner has been have
Speaker 1: been a Wicked? Yeah? Yeah, great analogy. Actually yeah, people
Speaker 1: will be like, oh, that was cats in hindsight. So
Speaker 1: this show then started to write itself. Claire, when did
Speaker 1: things get weird? Okay? I believe there has been a
Speaker 1: symbiotic relationship between canceled the podcast and Hollywood where we
Speaker 1: started this podcast and they started getting weirder. You say Hollywood,
Speaker 1: but three words Carlos, Michael klark' that's one word and
Speaker 1: Nissa and a fist fight and Anthony belly Bell. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Remember that episode that we did. Was it on Michael
Speaker 1: Klark or was it on Carlos? Yeah? I don't know
Speaker 1: if it was on Karl Stefanovic. I think maybe it
Speaker 1: was on Karl Stefanovic because was it also about how
Speaker 1: he bitched in the back of the uber with his brother. Yeah. Fuck,
Speaker 1: done that a lot of times. And I thought, by
Speaker 1: the grace of God, go I stones glasshouses. I say
Speaker 1: that every time I bitch in ANBA, I think of Carlos. No,
Speaker 1: but remember NUSA. Yeah, and they ripped their shirts off
Speaker 1: and they started fighting. Yeah, and I was like, a
Speaker 1: story has never been written so much just for canceled. Yes,
Speaker 1: it should be a theater production because it was so
Speaker 1: quinnessentially Australian. Yeah, it's on the streets of neustrom People
Speaker 1: had to shield their children. They were like, he used
Speaker 1: to be the Captain of Australia. Yeah. There was cheating accusations.
Speaker 1: There were just so absolutely valid. There was yelling. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Carlos was trying to say keep it down. And Anthony
Speaker 1: belly Bell, who was a staple of the day in
Speaker 1: mayal May, I say, he pops up a lot. Is
Speaker 1: he an accountant? Yeah he is? Yeah, yeah, And I
Speaker 1: just die off in wonder. How are things in the
Speaker 1: group chat? Yeah with Clarkey and Carlos. Yeah. No, so
Speaker 1: that happened and we're like, okay, this is writing itself.
Speaker 1: We wouldn't call that Hollywood though, would we no better
Speaker 1: than But before this podcast, I was thinking, I'm like,
Speaker 1: before this podcast started, were there even cursed press tours?
Speaker 1: I feel like the cursed press tours have only started
Speaker 1: so we could prosecute them in the cancel court room.
Speaker 1: But then I was like, wrong because a simple favor
Speaker 1: press tour with Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, who seemed
Speaker 1: to have tension that actually predated the cancel court Yeah,
Speaker 1: but Madam Webb, Yeah, don't worry, Darling, it ends with
Speaker 1: us that wicked Yeah. Yeah, I will go to my
Speaker 1: grave believing that Chris pines bad on our style. I
Speaker 1: believe that I don't care what anyone says. No, it's
Speaker 1: my favorite drama. Weird moments that we uncovered Demi Levado
Speaker 1: in the docu series Unidentified with Demi Lovado, which I've
Speaker 1: not seen and refused to ever see. It's moments like this.
Speaker 1: I think this podcast is our cats, Like, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure that spending this amount of time doing what we've
Speaker 1: done was good for human No, no, no, for us. No.
Speaker 1: But there is a scene where Demi serenades a ghost.
Speaker 1: They're in an abandoned brothel. Do I remember what song
Speaker 1: it is? I do. It's in my head, but I
Speaker 1: can't sing it. Yeah. Yeah, Well, so all the detectives
Speaker 1: are like beat beat, beat, beat bait, and then they
Speaker 1: ask questions. They're like, did you suffer trauma? And it's
Speaker 1: like beat beet beep, and it's like, no, we haven't
Speaker 1: established the code for the beeping anyway. Demi decides the
Speaker 1: ghost name is Carmen. The ghost has been through trauma
Speaker 1: and the ghost would like her to sing. So what
Speaker 1: song does she sing in this documentary to a ghost?
Speaker 1: Sky scraper? Yeah, scraper and it's beautiful and we think again,
Speaker 1: I will go to my grave. The ghost liked it.
Speaker 1: The ghost did like it. My apprehension came from the
Speaker 1: claim no issue with there being a ghost, no issue
Speaker 1: with the technology to identify the ghost. My issue was
Speaker 1: with the claim that the most name was coming because
Speaker 1: I've never met Yeah, they're all named like Mary or Susan. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Carmen was just a very arbitrary. Yes. Things also got
Speaker 1: weird that she knows controversy. I cried she knows. So
Speaker 1: just a little bit of context on that. The Beyonce
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory about how she knows the song is actually
Speaker 1: about Sean Knowles. More you sing at the less, you
Speaker 1: might say, who's Sean Noles? And that's the question flash
Speaker 1: issue like I can't go back? Okay, kind of did
Speaker 1: make us crack. Will Smith slapped someone on live television
Speaker 1: and the Academy Awards to defend the honor of his wife.
Speaker 1: But then the family couldn't stop with the revelations until
Speaker 1: Jada Pinkett Smith's revelation too close to the sun and
Speaker 1: actually shed They weren't even married anymore, so it was
Speaker 1: clear unclear, and then she did stop. I think she
Speaker 1: listened to that episode I have I've overdone it the
Speaker 1: memes that like Jada vi it Smith reveals that she
Speaker 1: is too back. That was where we got culturally. Then
Speaker 1: the royals megan announcing a lot of stuff and not
Speaker 1: launching it. That was our prime kind of issue. We
Speaker 1: came back and we actually gave her a pat on
Speaker 1: the back when she did launch a few things. But now, honey,
Speaker 1: we're back with our fatal floor with American Orchid Riviera,
Speaker 1: Orchid Orchid Riviera. When on Tocito, where we'll ask again
Speaker 1: and again, where's the jam, where is the gem? Where? Yes, yes, well,
Speaker 1: we can't talk she no, well, at least we make
Speaker 1: this show. We made a lot of promises. Yeah, sure, God,
Speaker 1: we to do a whole episode on cats. We never
Speaker 1: every week we're like, we'll put the receipts on Instagram.
Speaker 1: And then it became part of our brands that we
Speaker 1: didn't that we didn't know. We let people down routinely,
Speaker 1: and we're even quite recently. A listener from Texas sent
Speaker 1: us a life size guard out of him and I
Speaker 1: opened it. I had a good chuckle. Yeah, I haven't
Speaker 1: told you this. The office manager here is like, hi, Jesse,
Speaker 1: just wondering. Still the life size guard out of the text,
Speaker 1: and I can't part with him. Every time I see it,
Speaker 1: I feel to leave it. No, I'll need that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll need that. That's part of my workplace possessions. It's
Speaker 1: very Megan Michael, because I have no plan I want
Speaker 1: to do no Also with the Royals, Harry sharing family
Speaker 1: secrets about Willie that was made for this podcast, Charles
Speaker 1: being an artist and also wanting to be Camilla's tampon. Yep,
Speaker 1: that was lovely and he got very bloody thing, angry
Speaker 1: bloody thing and his fingers were all swollen. Great timing.
Speaker 1: With Trump in the We've got a second term. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we got to explore the real issues, such as
Speaker 1: he drinks too many diet cokes a day and he
Speaker 1: believes that exercise isn't good for you because it will
Speaker 1: exhaust you and you've got a finite amount of energy.
Speaker 1: It's like a battery. Yeah. And the diet coke thing,
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen a resurgence in have you seen
Speaker 1: this apparently soft drinks back in there's a whole article
Speaker 1: in the cut about it, like diet co Wait did
Speaker 1: they ever go out? Yeah? Oh wow? But now because
Speaker 1: Trump has his diet coke button, apparently Elon Musk loves
Speaker 1: a chilled Oh wow, you and me both, Alon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but we know that twelve isn't good on the Stummach fining.
Speaker 1: I can't be, it can't be you know what's in it,
Speaker 1: which we can say now that we don't need any
Speaker 1: sponsorship from a soft drink brand you don't know what's
Speaker 1: in it. That was actually one of my feuds in
Speaker 1: my list of two. The first one was Pepsi Max,
Speaker 1: diet coke and Coke Era. I'm burned it to the
Speaker 1: ground because I'm going we asked you to sponsor us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we had you front and center videos to the absolute
Speaker 1: fury of the podcast team. That's a drink in the studio,
Speaker 1: especially not sticky ones. When I was pregnant, I ate
Speaker 1: during records, Yeah, because they're like, you're gonna spill your
Speaker 1: sticky drink on the mic, and the second you say no,
Speaker 1: I won't, Well that's what you do. Yeah. Yeah, are
Speaker 1: the weird times that things got weird. David Beckham propaganda
Speaker 1: documentary I Have, which revealed crimes such as moving countries
Speaker 1: too often and sometimes not trying even when people were
Speaker 1: paying him lots of money on the condition that he
Speaker 1: promised to trot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what a contract says.
Speaker 1: I don't have funds to go to the work to play.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Victoria Beckham, Nicola Pelts Beckham, Brookie and photo
Speaker 1: album and trying to be a chef Brooklyn Beckham, No,
Speaker 1: I actually like I have a really soft spot in
Speaker 1: my soul for Brooklyn because you know what he's trying.
Speaker 1: I feel as though Brooklyn Beckham is the soul of Camp. Yes,
Speaker 1: if we had a mascot, it'd be Brookie and Mariah
Speaker 1: Carey on that stage on New Year's e yeah, saying
Speaker 1: you guys get to be on holidays, why don't I
Speaker 1: can be on holidays because you're being paid a lot
Speaker 1: of money, Babe to perform. But then sometimes the news
Speaker 1: cycle was too much and we were like, ugh remember
Speaker 1: seventh Then yeah, when Matt and Mary practiced kissing on
Speaker 1: each other and later Matt took a slight to prompt
Speaker 1: was controversial also because yeah, we realized that it was
Speaker 1: just the Bible reimagined. Yeah. Also Titanic, which we essentially
Speaker 1: said was just a master no notes, and it's like
Speaker 1: that doesn't fit in the scope of canceled. But that
Speaker 1: was definitely a low week. Yeah. Yeah, Yeah. It's like
Speaker 1: when you have a puzzle and like there's one piece layer,
Speaker 1: loss of piece, so you just go and like fit
Speaker 1: the coffee table into your puzzle. It doesn't doesn't wear, yeah,
Speaker 1: but you want to finish it. Yea. So Birth that
Speaker 1: was one thing that didn't again, didn't fit the scope,
Speaker 1: but we thought, hey, this is where we're at, and
Speaker 1: that was probably a line that I did cross when
Speaker 1: I recorded you cheering Charlie birth. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We actually had a lot of reviews saying this is
Speaker 1: cruel yeah, And it's like, is it cruel if I
Speaker 1: don't find it cruel? And you might say, was I
Speaker 1: in the headspace? No, if I found it cruel. And
Speaker 1: the thing about that is I'm detached from my emotions,
Speaker 1: so it's absolutely fine. I also have as a note,
Speaker 1: remember when Joe Jonas said hi to my elderly dog. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then over the summer, yeah, Hugh Jackman said, how
Speaker 1: lady baby? Yeah? Yeah, So we did a canceled episode
Speaker 1: on Joe Jonas, and honestly, a big redeeming factor was
Speaker 1: that I had been walking my No, I was not,
Speaker 1: my partner was walking our dog, who's not a handsome
Speaker 1: man anymore. No, he has visible tumors. Yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 1: he's living his best life. And Joe Jonas did stop
Speaker 1: and say hi, and that was a really lovely moment.
Speaker 1: Look there all the moments things got weird, But things
Speaker 1: have gotten really weird now because is there a feud?
Speaker 1: Is there a few? Look? This show is what industry
Speaker 1: insiders call a behemoth. No one, not once has referred
Speaker 1: to it as that until me right now, nearly nine
Speaker 1: million downloads, that's true. I looked it up. Two hundred episodes.
Speaker 1: Do we do any of the logistics. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I just turn up to the studio. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's any of those things because we never got around
Speaker 1: to merch we never got around to trademarking anything anything
Speaker 1: like that. No. Look, this is a pressure cooker. Yes,
Speaker 1: like it ends with us am I justin Baldoni. I
Speaker 1: you Blake Lively is their beef, Claire. I thought that
Speaker 1: what I'd like you to do is read out your
Speaker 1: official Instagram statement about why you're leaving. There's a hint.
Speaker 1: There's a hint. So what would you say to your
Speaker 1: what thirty k followers? Okay, thirty k is mean how
Speaker 1: many forty six? You knew? So rude? Okay. I will
Speaker 1: just say that I was going to read this statement
Speaker 1: in the section of this show called accusations of Laziness,
Speaker 1: and now we're doubling up. Yeah, the accusations of laziness
Speaker 1: gonna be slightly shorter. Okay, okay. So the thing about
Speaker 1: my statement, yeah, did you get a writer or did
Speaker 1: you write it? Is that I got a I write
Speaker 1: it because I didn't want to write. All right, cool,
Speaker 1: So I'm leaving my Maya and by extension, the podcast
Speaker 1: that I do at mum Maya. And if I were
Speaker 1: the type of person to do such a thing, I
Speaker 1: would post a notes app announcement of why I'm leaving, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it would be sufficiently vague. Yeah, and it would
Speaker 1: be like, I can't tell you what's coming next, but
Speaker 1: stay tuned. But I'm too lazy, Okay, So I got
Speaker 1: Ai to do it for me. All right, Right, she's
Speaker 1: a lazy girl, So you need to know the prompt
Speaker 1: I said, write an announcement that I'm leaving a very successful,
Speaker 1: popular podcast after four years. I rounded it up. Okay, Hey,
Speaker 1: everyone to four incredible years. It's time for me to
Speaker 1: share that I'll be stepping away from podcast Name. Okay.
Speaker 1: This has been one of the most rewarding and fulfilling
Speaker 1: experiences of my life, and I'll forever be grateful for
Speaker 1: all the laughs, insights, and connections that have come from
Speaker 1: being a part of this amazing community. I think that
Speaker 1: if I was Ai, Yeah, I'd throw in it. It's
Speaker 1: time for me to hang up my insert my headphones. Yeah.
Speaker 1: When I first joined podcast Name, I could never have
Speaker 1: imagined the impact to it. We've created something truly special
Speaker 1: together and I'm so proud of everything we've accomplished as
Speaker 1: a team. But sometimes a team growth means I don't know,
Speaker 1: it doesn't understand where podcast is, but sometimes growth means
Speaker 1: embracing new challenges and opportunities. That's what I'm doing now.
Speaker 1: I want to thank co hosts for being by my side,
Speaker 1: every sech our, incredible listeners for their unwavering support, and
Speaker 1: everyone behind the scenes who made this journey possible. The
Speaker 1: call producers, I have some respect. Well, this is goodbye
Speaker 1: in terms of the podcast. It's not goodbye for good.
Speaker 1: I'll still be around and I look forward to whatever's next.
Speaker 1: Both for me to say, I just say, you're not dead.
Speaker 1: Ad for podcast name. I'm excited to see where this
Speaker 1: Joenny takes us all. Thank you again for everything. This
Speaker 1: isn't the end, It's just the beginning of a new
Speaker 1: chapter up. But I was like insuffusion, so I said,
Speaker 1: add more drama and intrigue. It's spout out just some
Speaker 1: here are some additional things. And this is also my statement.
Speaker 1: All right, sometimes life throws you a curveball, and you
Speaker 1: have to trust your gut when it tells you it's
Speaker 1: time to move in a new direction. What's the curveball?
Speaker 1: What's a curveball. I'm just saying there's a curve. So
Speaker 1: what's next for me? Well, I can't tell you everything
Speaker 1: just yet. Let's just say the future is looking pretty exciting.
Speaker 1: What a whanger? Okay, wait, wait wait wait, I have
Speaker 1: a weird competitiveness, and in fact my feud is with Ai.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, so I wrote my own Oh wait, can
Speaker 1: I just say I did think that there was something missing? Okay,
Speaker 1: so I said, adds alling snarky about Jesse, and then
Speaker 1: it was two lights, so I said, more snark about Jesse.
Speaker 1: Make it seem like out Okay. As for Jesse dot
Speaker 1: dot dot Oh, Jesse, it's interesting it knew you were
Speaker 1: my co host, the one co host who somehow managed
Speaker 1: to survive this long without getting fired or replaced. We've
Speaker 1: had our moments, haven't we. From passive aggressive banter to
Speaker 1: straight up feuds. It's been a ride. I mean sure,
Speaker 1: we had our differences, like when you somehow think you
Speaker 1: can take over the show just because you're louder than me,
Speaker 1: But hey, credit, where credits do you? You're still standing
Speaker 1: and I guess I should be thankful for that. In
Speaker 1: all seriousness, Jesse, you know I'll miss you. We've clashed,
Speaker 1: we've laughed, we've survived each other's questionable decisions on air,
Speaker 1: but hey, at least you've still got them right. Question?
Speaker 1: Am I doing? Canceled on my own? Now? I just
Speaker 1: remember the day you finally decide to fire me. I'll
Speaker 1: be out there living my best life, leaving you with
Speaker 1: the mess. Like I don't get it? Am I? How
Speaker 1: can I if I'm not here anyone? This is in
Speaker 1: the end when you were quitting. I'll be back, bigger, better,
Speaker 1: and Jesse, this is Jesse. Good luck without me. You're
Speaker 1: gonna eat it with love and a whole lot of SaaS. Okay,
Speaker 1: is modifying so embarrassing? Okay, I wrote a statement to
Speaker 1: put on Instagram, but me to put on for me.
Speaker 1: You okay, you do yours, and then I'll like, actually
Speaker 1: get because it's going to be on a black tile
Speaker 1: with white text. No, it's that feels more ominous. What
Speaker 1: I co partners co hosts co eggs? Did you totally right? Wow?
Speaker 1: I first met Claire in Dad's test and from there
Speaker 1: I knew one day we'd make a podcast and see,
Speaker 1: it's got typos because I wrote it interesting, it's missing
Speaker 1: and connecting. Yet we'd make a podcast about interesting yet
Speaker 1: ultimately and consequential celebrity misdemeanors. I have no regrets about
Speaker 1: our time together, where we built a family, a community
Speaker 1: to our lazy girls, because that's what you've got to do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you are still our number one priority. Yes, even though
Speaker 1: our paths might be diverging, it is still a road
Speaker 1: that is parallel and joined by a sleep road with
Speaker 1: no stop signs or traffic lights. Like a river, we
Speaker 1: flow in the same direction. But now our commentary on
Speaker 1: Selena Gomez will be the stuff of private messages rather
Speaker 1: than a public podcast, which perhaps should have always been
Speaker 1: the case. We are moving forward with love, kindness and
Speaker 1: guess laziness prospect. Oh that was taken directly from Jessica
Speaker 1: Alber's divorcement, and we are embarking on a new chapter
Speaker 1: apart but also together. We don't request privacy. This is
Speaker 1: important because growing our platforms is important to us. Follow
Speaker 1: us at the Twins, underscore thoughts on me personally at
Speaker 1: Jesse Stevens ninety, where I will provide more gossip if
Speaker 1: and when it comes to me. My statement Okay, follow
Speaker 1: me because again, not requesting privacy. Are you're going to
Speaker 1: comment on my statement on Instagram? Yeah? Okay, So the
Speaker 1: thing is like I do a joke AI statement and
Speaker 1: then you do an actual statement, which means that I
Speaker 1: have to respond. Yeah, and to that I say no.
Speaker 1: But seriously, I have ideas for larger scale projects and
Speaker 1: I want to do them on my own. Okay. I
Speaker 1: have this weird, illogical and frankly risky instinct, given my
Speaker 1: laziness to build something for myself and work out who
Speaker 1: I am side of being okay, feels feels pointed. It's
Speaker 1: very sad testicle anymore. It's very sad. And to clarify,
Speaker 1: like the thing about us, so we're always going to
Speaker 1: be twins. Shit, we are gonna do schoft together next
Speaker 1: week like what probably didn't week after? Well, like our
Speaker 1: girls are having swimming lessons, but it's not quite the same. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well we could well look commentate you lessons set. You
Speaker 1: have your projects that you want to do. Yeah, independently.
Speaker 1: I got dumped. Yeah, I got dumped. Yeah because I
Speaker 1: want to keep it, which is interesting because okay, just
Speaker 1: some inside of goss, Like, let's get into the feud.
Speaker 1: You have been very much like I'm not used to
Speaker 1: you calling the shots. I make the decisions for this duo,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, I think my instincts are telling
Speaker 1: me this is what I want to do career wise.
Speaker 1: I want to do something on my own. I want
Speaker 1: to build something of my own. And You're like, but hmm,
Speaker 1: but the lazy girls, believe me, the lazy girls of
Speaker 1: the hardest thing. You are fucking with the lazy girls. No,
Speaker 1: you've pissed them off. I just want them to know
Speaker 1: who the enemy is, Okay, I had no Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I told Luca my husband. I said, I've been dumped.
Speaker 1: I've lost my child. Claire has quish in an absolute
Speaker 1: tea absolutely several months long. Very she has thrown the mic,
Speaker 1: she has stumped on the headphones. And he said to me, yeah,
Speaker 1: I could go host. Oh wow. And I said, you're
Speaker 1: not lazy. You're not a girl. Yeah. No, No, you're
Speaker 1: not a lazy girl. You don't know anything about Selena
Speaker 1: Goer and her kidney. You don't know anything. You don't
Speaker 1: know that she wasn't, in our opinion, thankful enough about
Speaker 1: the kidney, and we have anxiety about that relationship. You
Speaker 1: don't know the James cordon as a cat gave people
Speaker 1: panic attacks okay because they ran out of CGI budget. Yeah,
Speaker 1: hands and glitch clitch. The won't know that were human hands.
Speaker 1: You don't know with cat faces. Do you know what
Speaker 1: that does to a person? No? I didn't think so.
Speaker 1: And it was very When we were being bullied in
Speaker 1: high school and dad said I'll be your friend, it
Speaker 1: was very bad. Like this has become souder. Yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: So I will say to clarify when people are like,
Speaker 1: stay tuned, can't tell you what's it sounds a bit
Speaker 1: like that. Well for clarity, very very open. Are you
Speaker 1: trying to get a job right now? I changed my
Speaker 1: LinkedIn setting to open. No. I have ideas, okay, but
Speaker 1: but you're not technically according to the government. When I
Speaker 1: leave this record, I am, for all intents and purposes,
Speaker 1: legally unemployed. Okay. I have one more fear. I don't
Speaker 1: want to just raise and put on the table here
Speaker 1: three words Australian Podcast Awards. Would you be quitting if
Speaker 1: we'd finally won an award? Probably? But would we have
Speaker 1: a trophy? Have things would be different? Yeah? So I'll say,
Speaker 1: actually we were nominator, we never won and so look,
Speaker 1: let's hope manifesting is really important. Here's my dream. Years
Speaker 1: from now, Australian Podcast Awards goes bankrupt. No, no, Australian
Speaker 1: Podcast Awards becomes Australia's Night of Nights. It already it's
Speaker 1: Australia's Night of Night. You're there, yeah, and I'm there.
Speaker 1: Yeah for different shows. Oh I don't like that, and
Speaker 1: or the same show. We might be on the same
Speaker 1: show anyway. All I hope is that there is drama
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. And yeah, no, it's going to be
Speaker 1: like justin about only I'm gonna send you to the
Speaker 1: basement basement yep, yet, and I'm gonna be upstairs. We're
Speaker 1: gonna throw drinks yep. We're gonna like give speeches that
Speaker 1: like snark on each other. Like that is where this
Speaker 1: needs to get to. Yeah, okay, I think it's got
Speaker 1: to get to a half a billion dollar lawsuit. We
Speaker 1: should fully we should say yeah, Claire, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: but we should fully start like an online feud. I
Speaker 1: mean no, I think it would actually be really good
Speaker 1: for profile. Our profiles profiles have stagnated, But we should
Speaker 1: we need to maybe okay, maybe we like really snark
Speaker 1: on each other and like really try to galvanize, like
Speaker 1: I can try to galvanize people against you. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: you want, Yeah, that's fine, that's fine. Okay. Finally, accusations
Speaker 1: of laziness. We have been accused by the haters of
Speaker 1: being lazy. That is a lie. We self identify as lazy,
Speaker 1: and it would appear we were correct all long, because
Speaker 1: there is nothing lazier than quitting Jesse. I did the
Speaker 1: maths and each episode genuinely takes us like three to
Speaker 1: four hours to prep. Like that's including like taking regular
Speaker 1: press of say, going to the shop to get our
Speaker 1: dream yes, and then we listen back and we do socials.
Speaker 1: It takes like an hour record. So I'm going to
Speaker 1: say each episode is five hours of work. Are you
Speaker 1: just telling your boss that's like you're not any more? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that means two hundred times five is one thousand hours
Speaker 1: of work on camp. Don't may say it takes one
Speaker 1: thousand hours to master or something. No, see, that's what
Speaker 1: I thought ten thousand. So that explains. That explains this
Speaker 1: because I was like, I think it takes a thousand
Speaker 1: hours to be an expert something, but it's ten thousand, Okay,
Speaker 1: so where one tenth of an expert in whatever the
Speaker 1: this is. Yeah, yeah, imagine what we could have done.
Speaker 1: This is what Mum would say, Yeah, imagine what let's
Speaker 1: when we played the simms for too long? Imagine what
Speaker 1: you could do with that. Well, it's forty one days
Speaker 1: straight of our lives that we will never get back.
Speaker 1: And I guess the question is what did you do
Speaker 1: with that time? What do you mean? I made cancel
Speaker 1: and this is okay. This has been the highlight of
Speaker 1: my week. I really like it. Now I just feel
Speaker 1: like you're just laying shit. No, it has been the
Speaker 1: highlight in my week two. As Ai would say, it
Speaker 1: has been the greatest privilege and joy of my life.
Speaker 1: For the last three and a half years. My favorite
Speaker 1: thing about this show has been the lazy girls. I
Speaker 1: go outside occasionally and from other work I've done, it
Speaker 1: is lazy girls that are most likely to come over
Speaker 1: to me and say, I'm a lazy girl. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you this story. I might just send it to you.
Speaker 1: I forgot, yeah, and they'll tell me something. And they
Speaker 1: are they are our people. They are good fun. In fact,
Speaker 1: I thought we would end on a few lazy girl stories. Yes,
Speaker 1: because we got some. We got some over the break,
Speaker 1: and they were they were really good stunners. One is
Speaker 1: from Catherine, and Catherine says that you know, kids named
Speaker 1: gotta come up with with names. Yeah. I recently read
Speaker 1: that Matilda is just one of the most popular, and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is the thing about being lazy.
Speaker 1: You think you're being original, but you're actually just the
Speaker 1: same as everyone. Well, Catherine got one of those books.
Speaker 1: I got one of those books, look through it and
Speaker 1: was like, all right, I'm having a boy. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go through get a sense of what I should call him.
Speaker 1: So if you've got one of those books where you start, hey,
Speaker 1: get start with. My oldest is named for Andrew. I
Speaker 1: didn't get past the a's. I was too lazy and
Speaker 1: couldn't be bothered. I also couldn't be bothered with middle names.
Speaker 1: Put his dad. I couldn't be bothered with a middle name.
Speaker 1: Didn't get my baby one. Mine is my mum's. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: then just pregnant girl this time. Oh she gets sad.
Speaker 1: Oh no, Abigail. If there'd be anything before Abigail first page,
Speaker 1: that's absolutely fine, absolutely fine. I considered Abigail or Abby.
Speaker 1: I love it. Also, I've got two a named kids.
Speaker 1: It wasn't on purpose, pure laziness. Lay, She's a lazy girl.
Speaker 1: Love it, love it. This is my other one. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is a Liza. During the winter in high school,
Speaker 1: we would sit in the classroom for recess. Yeah, yeap,
Speaker 1: he was on yep. We sat on one side and
Speaker 1: the bin was on the other, approximately a five meter walk.
Speaker 1: I hated having to get up and walk to the
Speaker 1: bin when I was all comfy and having a laugh
Speaker 1: spelled la with my friend Enter solution had an apple
Speaker 1: every day recess, so I decided to start eating the
Speaker 1: entire core so there would be no rubbish that required
Speaker 1: immediate disposal. In case you're wondering, the core was quote foul,
Speaker 1: but I remained comfortable and saved myself twenty steps. Lazy.
Speaker 1: She's a lazy girl. She's sustainable, sustainable girl. Sorry, lazy
Speaker 1: girls don't litter. No lazy girls put rappers receipts in
Speaker 1: their pocket. Yeah for ever, it doesn't end up in landfill,
Speaker 1: or on the street or in the water. Think about
Speaker 1: any applecle I think there's something about it's got a
Speaker 1: chemical in it. She's a livestele actually great point. But
Speaker 1: that's a really good lazy girl hack. Just like you've
Speaker 1: had a music by You've got the Rapper eat the Wrapper. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just yeah, yeah. Do you have a favorite laser girl
Speaker 1: from all these years on the show, A favorite lazy
Speaker 1: girl story? Yeah, the one I think about all the
Speaker 1: time is a ghost called Merle. This was on our
Speaker 1: Ben Affleck episode, and the story is that this lazy
Speaker 1: girl said her bedroom was at the top of the
Speaker 1: first floor, and Merle was a lot. She used to
Speaker 1: walk up and down the stairs, literally knock on her wall,
Speaker 1: and sometimes sit on her bed, which she is distracting
Speaker 1: and I imagine at times interfered with sleep. So the
Speaker 1: listener's parents asked if she wanted to move to a
Speaker 1: bedroom upstairs. Didn't go so much, but it meant being better.
Speaker 1: Everyone knows it. Ghosts only stay in the one room,
Speaker 1: but it meant further from the kitchen and the bathroom
Speaker 1: and stuff. She just continued being haunted by Merl. That's
Speaker 1: the thing. Like we've said this before, but it's like
Speaker 1: every time I watch a horror movie, I'm like, fuck,
Speaker 1: that's really good. But my biggest nightmare you moved to
Speaker 1: a new place. Yeah, just moved in our furnitures in yep, yep.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I'm never moving again. It's haunted. You
Speaker 1: look in the mirror, boom, dead person behind you, damn it.
Speaker 1: And You're like, I'm not gonna do anything. I'm not
Speaker 1: booking a prieze. I'm not moving now. I just have
Speaker 1: to live alongside this ghost which scares me. It does.
Speaker 1: I'm being haunted and it's like on the list of
Speaker 1: reasons to move, being haunted isn't no, exactly right. It
Speaker 1: is a thank you so much for joining us for
