0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:05.720
<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome to Mom and Mia out Loud. It's

0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:07.920
<v Speaker 1>what women are talking about on Monday, the twenty fifth

0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:09.440
<v Speaker 1>of May. I'm Holly Wainwright.

0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:10.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm Claire Stevens.

0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:12.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm Amelia Lester.

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Big weekend, didn't we, Holly?

0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:20.759
<v Speaker 2>Please? Did we? We're keeping some pretty pretty incredible company.

0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:23.600
<v Speaker 1>You had lunch on Friday with Jacinder a day.

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:24.880
<v Speaker 3>Can you tell me everything?

0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So, so we'll go chronologically because Holly's is more exciting,

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 2>but mine did happen earlier in the day. So on Friday,

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:37.400
<v Speaker 2>I was at a lunch for my wonderful publisher Alan

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:40.880
<v Speaker 2>and Unwin because the author Lily King, who wrote Heart

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:44.400
<v Speaker 2>the Lover, which a lot of out louders have read

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:47.240
<v Speaker 2>because I think Jess and I both recommended it to death.

0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:50.279
<v Speaker 2>So she was in Australia for Sydney Ryders Festival and

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 2>it was a lunch for her and Ja Cindra Adurn

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 2>is a fan of Lily King, so she just happened

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 2>to be at this lunch. I said to her, like,

0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm pregnant and I'm in my floppyre.

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 3>You probably didn't need to tell.

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 2>She's like, honey, I can see, but I was like,

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.039
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe you ran a country when you were this.

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 2>What did she say? She said, she was like, well,

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't do it if you didn't have to.

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, I know how Holly met her because I went

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 3>to see Holly everything.

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I interviewed Justina on Friday night at the town Hall

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 1>at Sydney town Hall. It was it was great. I

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.680
<v Speaker 1>was really nervous, really nervous, because this is the thing, right,

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 1>we're just cinda fangirls. I'm on the record as being

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>disinde fangirls. Not everybody is. In fact, I posted about

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>my disinder experience on Friday, and I knew what would

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:36.400
<v Speaker 1>happen would happen, which is that you get a lot

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 1>of people going yeah, yeah, amazing, and then the people

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>come who are like, did you tell her that she's

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.559
<v Speaker 1>ruined everything? And so you know, like this is a politician.

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 1>So I was very nervous about doing the interview. I

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>was very nervous about the preparation. I was very nervous

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>about all the things. But it actually went fine.

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 3>With more than fine, Holly. There was laughter, there was tears,

0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 3>and you had the most amazing sparkly socks and Shinysue.

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 1>She was great.

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 2>It was good.

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>But you know what, I only have one regret, and

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 1>it's a good regret to have about any big event

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 1>because it isn't about anything I said or did. It's

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>about one thing about the way I looked. I didn't

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 1>get my hair done, and so every time I look

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 1>at the videos, I just see this massive, really frizzy

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 1>hair and it's not important. That's not the important part.

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 1>The important part is what you say. But then you

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>look at the videos and you're like, why didn't I

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:25.959
<v Speaker 1>get my hair done?

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:30.359
<v Speaker 2>Jacinda got her hair done well on Friday. I relate

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:34.679
<v Speaker 2>Holly because I got a photo with Lily King and

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 2>jacindra I durn and Luke Bateman, who's the book was

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 2>so very important, very very exciting, and you know, when

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.960
<v Speaker 2>you're just not having the day to get the photos,

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:46.639
<v Speaker 2>I was like, these photos are all terrible, but I

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 2>have to post them because when else is this gonna happen.

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 2>But I did say to Jacinda, I said, you're meeting

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 2>my lovely friend Holly tonight because she's interviewing you. And

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Jacinda said her questions are brilliant.

0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 4>Oh.

0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.639
<v Speaker 2>So me and Jacinda were talking about your friend, Holly

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 2>is what happens?

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, here's what's made our agenda for today. Is

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>there such a thing as a good reason for your

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>dad to miss your wedding? What about trying to broker

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 1>a peace deal? Yes, we are talking about the Trumps.

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:20.239
<v Speaker 2>Plus the childwive conversation is everywhere from publishing to sixty minutes.

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 2>We can't look away. But what does it really say

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:23.919
<v Speaker 2>about us?

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 3>And I'm bringing something new. We can blame celebrities for.

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Hurrah, But first, Klaus Stevens.

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Taylor Swift, and Travis Kelcey were in the front row

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 2>of an NBA game in Ohio on Saturday night, and

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 2>I just want to play you a moment of commentary

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 2>and ask if you notice anything interesting about it.

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, Travis Kelcey and his fiance here of the game.

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Travis kelce that's good to have him here, at Ohio native,

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.480
<v Speaker 3>a Cleveland native, taker heights.

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 2>He's an Ohio boy.

0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Needless to say, the ovation was pretty good. In any

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>I didn't say the name of Travis Kelce's fiance.

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 2>They could mention that Travis Kelcey was from Ohio, but

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 2>they couldn't mention that her name is Taylor Swift and

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 2>you may know her as one of the best selling

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 2>artists of all time or the highest grossing live music

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 2>artists on the.

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.279
<v Speaker 3>Thing may have been proving a point.

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 2>So there are all these theories going around about why

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:32.360
<v Speaker 2>they wouldn't name her, and no one has actually offered

0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 2>an official explanation from ESPN or the announcers or anything

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>like that, so it's just speculation. But there's a bit

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 2>of a theory that they were making a point that

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.799
<v Speaker 2>they didn't want it to become a big celebrity.

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 3>Like distract what has happened with the NFL with football,

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 3>which is that because of course Travis is a footballer,

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 3>Taylor attends his games sometimes and in the NFL there

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 3>was there were complaints from the fan base that they

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 3>were turning the games into these Taylor Swift spectacles. So

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 3>maybe the basketball people are trying not.

0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:11.520
<v Speaker 2>To do that, which I say, any Taylor Swift spectacle amazing.

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, you can tell that the hype is ramping up.

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Those two are going out a lot in New York

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>this because it's leading into the northern summer, of course,

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 1>and so I'm seeing them everywhere, and the hype is

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.280
<v Speaker 1>building because we all know the wedding is any minute.

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.240
<v Speaker 2>It's very it looks.

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 3>Like Sleeping Beauty now, like you know the Sleeping Beauty

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 3>Disney movie. She's got the very, very thick fringe. She

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.719
<v Speaker 3>just looks like a beautiful startled sawn.

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>I have never related to her before, but I related

0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 1>hard at this game, because what did Travis douclaire.

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 2>Travis chugged a beer.

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 1>He chugged a beer, he stood a fourth quarter, he

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.599
<v Speaker 1>encouraged applause and chugged a beer in one and Taylor

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Swift just had to sit there like, yeah, this is

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:56.840
<v Speaker 1>my dude, And I was like hard.

0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Related was buried hands and she was visibly cringing, and

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.159
<v Speaker 2>I was like, that's love, that's true love.

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.840
<v Speaker 3>Also, how wild is it that three years ago, I

0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.720
<v Speaker 3>think three years ago, at this very time, she was

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:19.039
<v Speaker 3>dating a man who is sort of the exact opposite

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 3>of Travis Kelcey. I refer, of course, to frontman of the.

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, who famously is so pretentious that he only writes

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:35.320
<v Speaker 1>on a typewriter. Although I'm sure he's a Northern Englishman.

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he does like his football to a point.

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't chug beers at games like this is in

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.160
<v Speaker 1>fact speaking of the Other thing that I saw that

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.160
<v Speaker 1>was very like hard relate on the weekend was also

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Prince William was at a football game for his team

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 1>aston Villa. It is not clear why he supports them.

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.720
<v Speaker 1>They're from Birmingham. That's a long story. Normally Royal people,

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:58.040
<v Speaker 1>posh people support Chelsea or like some posh Anyway, they

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.679
<v Speaker 1>won a really important European game and there is video

0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 1>footage of William filming it and declining a call from Cape.

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, and I was like, that is everybody

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 1>when they are in the middle of being embodied in

0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:13.720
<v Speaker 1>their joy and they're like, no, not.

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Now, dull, not now, dull. We'll call you when I

0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 2>have a chance. I also loved they got footage of

0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Taylor and Travis sitting there. Travis says, do you have

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 2>any gum? She passes gum from her bag and says

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 2>last one, And it was very like maternal but also

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 2>like there was a slight annoyance that's like, it's the

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.600
<v Speaker 2>last fricking one taking my gum. Now you're so annoyed,

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.760
<v Speaker 2>but also have the gum because you just chugged a bet.

0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah exactly.

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 1>So last Wednesday's show, we solved a dilemma about a

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 1>woman who didn't want to go to her friend's wedding

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.480
<v Speaker 1>because it was going to make her feel bad. Right, well,

0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 1>we have listeners in high places, because immediately afterwards, one

0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump decided there was a wedding that he didn't

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 1>have to att and his sons. Look, we know that

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to news with the word Trump in it,

0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>there are many things we could talk about, many important things.

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>But in the interest of not making everyone want to

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 1>throw their phones out of the window right now, how

0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.080
<v Speaker 1>about we settle on this one. Donald Junior, lovely guy,

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Lovely guy, got married on Saturday May twenty four. His

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 1>lucky bride is Bettina Anderson, often most described as a

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:29.080
<v Speaker 1>model and socialite. Now, Don Junior lost his mum, Evana,

0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 1>four years ago, so it might have been nice for

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 1>his dad to go to the wedding, but he didn't

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.319
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to go. And look, he did have an excuse.

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Here's what he said, wedding.

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 5>He'd like, middy, go, I'm just going to be just

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 5>a small, little private affair, and I'm going to try

0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.719
<v Speaker 5>and make it. I'm in the midst, I said, you know,

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 5>this is not good timing for me. I have a

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 5>thing called the red and other things. That's when I

0:08:56.240 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 5>can't went on. If I do attend, I get killed.

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.840
<v Speaker 5>If I don't intend, I get you by the fake years.

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 5>Of course I'm talking about No. But he's a very

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 5>person who I've known for a long time, and hopefully

0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:12.480
<v Speaker 5>they're gonna have a great marriage.

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 3>Do he just describe his son as a person I've

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:17.960
<v Speaker 3>known for a long time or.

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Was he describing them He describes his son as a

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 2>person I've known for a long time.

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.839
<v Speaker 1>Look, I know it's really hard to put the trump

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:27.680
<v Speaker 1>of all this to the side, and maybe we can't,

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:29.960
<v Speaker 1>in fact, but if we try, if we really really try,

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 1>aren't there some things more important than turning up to

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 1>your son's wedding?

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 3>Amelia, No, I think you just deranged in this take college?

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Like really?

0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:39.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Like what, well, here's what I wonder. Will you had

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>an ear aware? So when Joe Biden was president, there

0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.439
<v Speaker 1>was this this memo circulated that was actually from when

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.679
<v Speaker 1>he was vice president. This memo predated his presidency, that

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:54.719
<v Speaker 1>he'd sent out to all his staff that said this,

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:56.319
<v Speaker 1>he said, I would like to take a moment and

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 1>make something clear to everyone. I do not expect, nor

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.679
<v Speaker 1>do I want any of you to miss or sacrifice

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 1>important family obligations for work. Family obligations include, but are

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 1>not limited to, family birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, any religious ceremonies

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.679
<v Speaker 1>such as first communions and bar mitsva's graduations, and times

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 1>of needs such as illness or a loss in the family.

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 1>This is very important to me, Biden said. In fact,

0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:22.320
<v Speaker 1>I will go so far as to say that if

0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I find out that you are working with me while

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:30.480
<v Speaker 1>missing important family responsibilities, it will disappoint me greatly. This

0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>has been an unwritten rule since my days in the Senate.

0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for all your hard work, Joe.

0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:39.040
<v Speaker 3>Okay, in retrospect, maybe some people should have missed some family.

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 1>And then contrast this with a tweet from Don Junior

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:49.079
<v Speaker 1>himself back in the day, who once tweeted in twenty twelve,

0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm at dinner with our greenskeeper who missed his sister's

0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:55.240
<v Speaker 1>wedding to work. No big deal. Hopefully she'll have another

0:10:55.360 --> 0:11:00.599
<v Speaker 1>someday celebrating the idea of working over family. So I

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I just wonder if we've got this cultural clash.

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:08.040
<v Speaker 2>No, see, I think if it was anybody else. Ironically,

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:12.680
<v Speaker 2>maybe if it had been Biden years before he was president,

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:16.719
<v Speaker 2>if it had been another politician who is known for

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:20.280
<v Speaker 2>how hard they work and their absolute dedication to their job,

0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 2>might be different. The funny thing about Trump is that

0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.960
<v Speaker 2>since when does he need to miss things in order

0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:34.680
<v Speaker 2>to be president? Like there's he has done the most ridiculous.

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:39.600
<v Speaker 2>He plays golf so often. Even the weekend of Don

0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Junior's wedding this past weekend he was scheduled to go.

0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 3>To That's not fair. He was scheduled to go and

0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 3>play golf. It's a long weekend in the US, and

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:52.280
<v Speaker 3>that is his traditional long weekend was scheduled, which hugely

0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 3>on long weekend, you probably watched maths because that so

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.160
<v Speaker 3>much more important than Trump's golf.

0:11:56.360 --> 0:12:00.160
<v Speaker 2>Not when I've got a long standing wedding invitation. That's

0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 2>the thing.

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.559
<v Speaker 3>He was scheduled till very recently to play golf, but

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 3>then he canceled the golf because he had a thing

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.600
<v Speaker 3>called a run. What part of that do you not understand?

0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.000
<v Speaker 2>But I think what happened is that somebody got in

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 2>his ear and said, hey, mate, if you are missing

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:16.600
<v Speaker 2>your son's wedding, you can't.

0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 3>Somebody got in his ear? Is that an ear joke

0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.199
<v Speaker 3>that you're making me clar he was shot in the ear.

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.280
<v Speaker 1>That's too soon, so insensitive.

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.400
<v Speaker 3>Look, I do have to say, I know you wanted

0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.679
<v Speaker 3>to take the Trump out of it, but can I

0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 3>just provide a tiny bit of context on John Junior,

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.199
<v Speaker 3>because I think there's a case to be made that

0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.199
<v Speaker 3>he might be Trump's least favorite son.

0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Which is unfortunate because of the name, which is yeah,

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 2>and for other reasons. And look, he's not He's not

0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 2>got a great track record sort of character wise. Just quickly,

0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:53.319
<v Speaker 2>he did compare Syrian refugees to skittles, and he has hunted,

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:59.319
<v Speaker 2>among other animals, endangered Mongolian sheep, leopards, elephants, and a

0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.480
<v Speaker 2>protected in a Venice lagoon.

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.439
<v Speaker 3>I didn't even know you could hunt in Venice lagoon.

0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, lovely guy, lovely guy, No, I think,

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.920
<v Speaker 1>but none of those things would bother dom you Non Senior.

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:12.080
<v Speaker 2>No, that's true.

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.839
<v Speaker 3>But look, I can't believe I'm doing this. But it

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:19.000
<v Speaker 3>does look like Don Senior had a busy weekend because

0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:23.000
<v Speaker 3>the iarandi that he references, it does look like it's

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:27.000
<v Speaker 3>about to happen and look, he did start the war

0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.280
<v Speaker 3>that he is now negotiating the peace deal for so

0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 3>one might suggest that if he hadn't started the war,

0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 3>he could have attended the wedding. But retrospects is easy,

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.120
<v Speaker 3>isn't it. It's always easy to say in retrospect what

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 3>you'd rather do. So we just heard him speak in

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.160
<v Speaker 3>a press conference and then he followed it up with

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:44.439
<v Speaker 3>a truth social post.

0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Yea, which is like, in the amount of the amount

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 2>of time you've spent releasing statements about this wedding, you

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.960
<v Speaker 2>should have just gone. But he's like, he would really

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 2>like me to go, like my son really like me

0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:57.959
<v Speaker 2>to go. And it's like yeah, because, which is weird.

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 1>There's a power play right between the Donaldso is that

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:03.839
<v Speaker 1>Donald can be like, I don't have to come to

0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 1>your wedding.

0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:04.599
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 2>But the funny thing is that Donald Trump literally two

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:13.720
<v Speaker 2>weeks ago had an event to promote a future UFC

0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:17.000
<v Speaker 2>about at the White House, Like he commits to things

0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 2>that are so ridiculous and unimportant cler and then I

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.800
<v Speaker 2>act like he couldn't possibly go to his son's wedding.

0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.600
<v Speaker 3>Fly it's a really expensive right now. Have you noticed

0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:30.800
<v Speaker 3>that he has a plane, and it was all quite quick.

0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.960
<v Speaker 3>They got engaged in December. It's may look you got

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.360
<v Speaker 3>to get cheap airf as you have to book way ahead.

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.600
<v Speaker 3>So I'm just thinking that maybe he dropped the ball

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 3>on the organizational part of it.

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 2>My favorite part is that Mary Trump, donald Trump's niece,

0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:47.040
<v Speaker 2>has come out and just stirred some shit, which is

0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 2>always really nice. She said, give me a break. He

0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.840
<v Speaker 2>doesn't want to go because he can't stand his kid.

0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:54.760
<v Speaker 2>And then she is a clinical psychologist.

0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:55.240
<v Speaker 3>She is.

0:14:55.520 --> 0:15:00.920
<v Speaker 2>She said he's incapable of loving, and but she also

0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 2>she basically said, and I think this is the point

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.800
<v Speaker 2>you're making as well, Amelia, which is, take one look

0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 2>at Donald Trump Junior. I don't particularly feel sorry for

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.720
<v Speaker 2>him in this situation. I'm not thinking that poor that

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.280
<v Speaker 2>poor man waiting for his dad.

0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 3>The projected ducks exactly after the break What celebrities have

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 3>taken from us? Our obsession with celebrities has had a

0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:31.280
<v Speaker 3>bad side effect, says celebrity Pempadgeley. It is robbed us

0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:36.440
<v Speaker 3>of stories. Allow Penn to explain on his podcast pod Crushed.

0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.480
<v Speaker 6>No, I definitely I've been thinking about this more and more,

0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:43.680
<v Speaker 6>Like I when I watched things now. I'm sorry, I

0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:45.800
<v Speaker 6>call it what it is. I feel like, I'm just

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:47.480
<v Speaker 6>all I can think of is like, oh, there's that

0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:51.840
<v Speaker 6>famous person doing it, delivering a performance. I celebrity culture

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:55.120
<v Speaker 6>is actually like robbing us of stories because there's because

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.960
<v Speaker 6>you know, in some ways agreed, the craft of cinema

0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:00.720
<v Speaker 6>is becoming more and more elevated. You know, people are

0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.160
<v Speaker 6>getting more and more specialized, We're capable of.

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 3>More and more.

0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:06.160
<v Speaker 6>But the stories are full of the same celebrities. And

0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:08.360
<v Speaker 6>I'm sorry, it's just like, let's be real, that's what

0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.200
<v Speaker 6>we all think. We're like, Wow, yeah, Timmy Schallamay is

0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:12.200
<v Speaker 6>killing this right now.

0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:19.040
<v Speaker 3>What this Gossip Girl star just said really clicked something

0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:22.240
<v Speaker 3>in my brain. It's why people loved Heated Rivalry. It's

0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.680
<v Speaker 3>because we've never seen these actors before, so you could

0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.920
<v Speaker 3>get fully immersed into the roles. It's why people are

0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.880
<v Speaker 3>now loving the show off Campus, which I hear that

0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.960
<v Speaker 3>you think is fantastic, and it's it's.

0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:37.840
<v Speaker 2>You're not distracted by knowing these people, knowing anything about

0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:39.920
<v Speaker 2>their lives. You just you just believe that it is

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 2>the story exactly.

0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.880
<v Speaker 3>Meanwhile, there is this huge debate right now over the

0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:47.720
<v Speaker 3>forthcoming movie of the Odyssey. Much of that debate is

0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.560
<v Speaker 3>deeply ridiculous, but nonetheless there is a debate that threatens

0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.400
<v Speaker 3>to overshadow the movie. And that's got the most insane

0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.360
<v Speaker 3>cast of all time. It's got mad Damon, it's got

0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.360
<v Speaker 3>Anne Hathaway, it's got Charlie's throat, It's got Zendea. Now,

0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:01.320
<v Speaker 3>speaking of Zendeia, this is I think he's onto something.

0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:06.200
<v Speaker 3>If you look at the three biggest young actresses in

0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.600
<v Speaker 3>Hollywood right now, arguably I think you would say they

0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.960
<v Speaker 3>are Zendaya, they are Emma Stone, and they are Margo Robbie.

0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.159
<v Speaker 3>We don't know a lot about these three women. I

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.040
<v Speaker 3>would say we barely know if Zendeia as married. We

0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.680
<v Speaker 3>only recently learned Emma Stone's actual name is Emily and

0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:26.240
<v Speaker 3>Margot Robbie has literally mentioned her baby in public once

0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:27.399
<v Speaker 3>and it was in passing.

0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:33.280
<v Speaker 2>And none of them I don't think have like active

0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:37.280
<v Speaker 2>behind the scenes social media. Like they're very much like

0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.920
<v Speaker 2>you know them from interviews where they don't give much

0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:43.640
<v Speaker 2>away in terms of their personal life, right.

0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.720
<v Speaker 3>Right, Who was Emmastone married to I barely know? And

0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:50.720
<v Speaker 3>then compare say and Naomi Watson and Nicole Kidman Naomi Watts.

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:52.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't know a lot about what's going on in

0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.199
<v Speaker 3>her life, but she just rather convincingly played Jackie Oh

0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:58.000
<v Speaker 3>in one thing and then someone completely different than something else.

0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:00.720
<v Speaker 3>And I would argue that Nicole Kidman is kind of

0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:03.359
<v Speaker 3>playing the one role, which is rich lady in Ashore,

0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:07.680
<v Speaker 3>and I wonder if she's capable or if we're capable

0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:09.920
<v Speaker 3>of believing her in anything else. To be clear, she's

0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.440
<v Speaker 3>got the acting chops, but it's about how we're receiving

0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 3>those roles.

0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand why this is new, Like as in

0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:21.440
<v Speaker 1>movie stars are as old as movies, Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart,

0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Greta Garbo. Right, We've always been fascinated by famous people,

0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:27.159
<v Speaker 1>and then the people get famous and we want to

0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.000
<v Speaker 1>go see them in things. So that's like literally they'll say,

0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.720
<v Speaker 1>can that person open a movie? And the more we

0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:34.960
<v Speaker 1>know about them, the more likely they are to open

0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:39.240
<v Speaker 1>a movie. So is this conversation about it's not about fame,

0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:41.920
<v Speaker 1>it's about social media? Is that what we're saying? Because

0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Margot Robbie, for example, in both her campaigns for Barbie

0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:49.680
<v Speaker 1>and Wuthering Heights, was everywhere I looked for a year. Yeah,

0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.800
<v Speaker 1>like everywhere I looked. So it's not like she's hiding

0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:57.280
<v Speaker 1>and some kind of recluse. Is it about personal brand

0:18:57.520 --> 0:18:58.600
<v Speaker 1>versus actor brand?

0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because I was thinking we used to what Penn

0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:06.040
<v Speaker 2>Badgeley's saying, it used to be the complete opposite in

0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:08.639
<v Speaker 2>that remember when there was an era of like the

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Love Actually movie and it's like you just had movies

0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:16.040
<v Speaker 2>that that had so many big names in it you

0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:17.160
<v Speaker 2>couldn't even count.

0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:19.240
<v Speaker 3>And that's why we went to the movie that reached

0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:22.560
<v Speaker 3>its nadea when there was the He's Just Not That

0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:26.119
<v Speaker 3>into You movie, and then we thought we've gone too

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:26.960
<v Speaker 3>far as a culture.

0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's true. Look look at the Odyssey

0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:33.320
<v Speaker 1>that's you just called out. Like every single famous actor

0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:35.440
<v Speaker 1>in Hollywood wants to be in a Christopher Nolan movie.

0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Everyone wants to be in White Lotus, everybody wants to

0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 1>be in whatever, and they're all campaigning for it. I

0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:44.879
<v Speaker 1>think the difference is whether or not they do brand

0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:47.960
<v Speaker 1>work as well as acting work, right. So one of

0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:50.879
<v Speaker 1>the things that's interesting about the modern world is like

0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:53.520
<v Speaker 1>all the celebrities have to be what we call diversified

0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:56.680
<v Speaker 1>so as well as being an actor, it used to

0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:59.600
<v Speaker 1>be a bit shameful to also have a tequila brand,

0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:02.320
<v Speaker 1>a makeup line, be the face of this, the face

0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:06.320
<v Speaker 1>of that. We've kind of done away with that judgment,

0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:08.639
<v Speaker 1>and now I mean Margot Robert. He has a massive

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:11.399
<v Speaker 1>contract with Chanelle for example, you know, and we have

0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Chalameaie was a really interesting example that badgely used there

0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:16.359
<v Speaker 1>because he's trying to walk this line.

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:17.399
<v Speaker 2>He used to be.

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:21.359
<v Speaker 1>Until relatively recently, i'd say, very respected as an actor,

0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:24.240
<v Speaker 1>and then his choice of girlfriend and his visibility around that.

0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:27.760
<v Speaker 1>We've talked about that before has kind of confused everybody,

0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and now we think, oh, are you a reality star

0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:34.320
<v Speaker 1>or are you a serious actor? But I think they've

0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:38.119
<v Speaker 1>been told that they can make more money and they

0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:40.720
<v Speaker 1>can therefore have more clout, more power to make the

0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:42.679
<v Speaker 1>movies they want to make all those things. If they

0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:45.399
<v Speaker 1>do lots of brand deals, have a hot sauce, you know,

0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:50.400
<v Speaker 1>have all of that stuff, does it damage their ability

0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:52.159
<v Speaker 1>to make people turn out for them. I don't know

0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.240
<v Speaker 1>that it does. I don't know that I would argue

0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:54.680
<v Speaker 1>that it does.

0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it does, but I wonder if

0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:03.399
<v Speaker 2>it affects storytelling like I do think. For example, I

0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:09.679
<v Speaker 2>saw the the Ryan Gosling movie The Space One Project Projectail,

0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:14.119
<v Speaker 2>and that is obviously like literally just him in a

0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:15.560
<v Speaker 2>frigging spaceship the whole time.

0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:18.240
<v Speaker 1>That he's a really interesting example because he's walking this line.

0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:23.159
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and he but at the same time, you're very

0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:26.440
<v Speaker 2>aware that it's Ryan Gosling. I'm watching it because I

0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:30.080
<v Speaker 2>find him charismatic and funny and interesting in all of that.

0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Was I like as immersed in the story or was

0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:40.160
<v Speaker 2>I distracted by Ryan Gosling? You know what I mean?

0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:43.320
<v Speaker 3>Yes, because that's what Penna's saying. He's not saying that

0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:47.479
<v Speaker 3>it necessarily necessarily affects bankability or how much money you make.

0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:49.960
<v Speaker 3>He's saying that it's taking us out of stories. We

0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:52.960
<v Speaker 3>talked about tell us with before. When her double album,

0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:56.440
<v Speaker 3>The Tortured Poets Department came out, everyone wanted to listen

0:21:56.520 --> 0:21:59.680
<v Speaker 3>to that to understand what had happened between her and

0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:01.760
<v Speaker 3>her ex Joe Alwin. Now it turned out to not

0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:03.920
<v Speaker 3>be about Joe at all, But that's a different conversation.

0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:07.919
<v Speaker 3>Were people able to immerse themselves fully in the music

0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:12.240
<v Speaker 3>or were they listening in part because they wanted the gossip.

0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but that's different because she literally is making a

0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:20.080
<v Speaker 1>project that is her words, her work, like, whereas Gosling

0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:22.359
<v Speaker 1>is playing a partner movie. Right, so he's an actor.

0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:25.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a different job, right, I would say that's what

0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:28.760
<v Speaker 1>a movie star is. Like the reason that movie is

0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:31.000
<v Speaker 1>huge is because Ryan Gosling is in it. Yes, and

0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 1>he does a great job. And is the fact that

0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:36.960
<v Speaker 1>he is really likable and charismatic and handsome is what

0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:38.800
<v Speaker 1>got us to the movies in the first pl.

0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Yes, but I don't know, Like, for example, even thinking

0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:45.000
<v Speaker 2>about something like Guardians of the Galaxy, which again is

0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:48.639
<v Speaker 2>like star studded, I couldn't really tell you what that

0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:53.520
<v Speaker 2>story is about. I'm not in a story. I'm watching

0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:58.720
<v Speaker 2>famous people. Whereas I think the biggest like storytelling phenomenons

0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:02.200
<v Speaker 2>of our time, you look at adolescents, for example. I

0:23:02.280 --> 0:23:07.119
<v Speaker 2>think a huge part of that was that several of

0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:11.240
<v Speaker 2>those actors, one they seem like real people, and two

0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:13.720
<v Speaker 2>they were relative unknown.

0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:16.960
<v Speaker 1>We can't compare adolescents with Guardians.

0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:19.840
<v Speaker 3>Of the Galaxy, but okay, or these are.

0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Two very different like projects with very different goals.

0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:26.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay, but let's get back to the Margot Robbie example,

0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:29.480
<v Speaker 3>because I think she's really interesting on this point. So, yeah,

0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:33.680
<v Speaker 3>she has been everywhere for two sort of essentially consecutive

0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:38.840
<v Speaker 3>projects that she did, but she was everywhere in service

0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:40.080
<v Speaker 3>of promoting.

0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:41.679
<v Speaker 2>The movie and the story of the movie.

0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:44.440
<v Speaker 3>So a lot has been made of her kind of

0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:48.640
<v Speaker 3>thematic dressing on red carpets ahead of these movies coming out.

0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:51.760
<v Speaker 3>In Wuthering Heights, she had a very distinctive sort of

0:23:52.240 --> 0:23:57.479
<v Speaker 3>Victorian romantic, corseted vibe. And then for Barbie, she very

0:23:57.560 --> 0:24:00.680
<v Speaker 3>famously worked with the stylist Andrew Murakama on a kind

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:05.000
<v Speaker 3>of dole like bubblegum pink aesthetic, and that was to

0:24:05.200 --> 0:24:08.600
<v Speaker 3>serve the movie, to get us intrigued and our curiosity

0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:11.600
<v Speaker 3>peaked about the movie. I still don't know anything about

0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:14.000
<v Speaker 3>her family life, and I'm delighted not to know.

0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:16.359
<v Speaker 1>No, I agree with you about that, but she has

0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:18.719
<v Speaker 1>definitely reached a level of fame where the people who

0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:20.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't like Wuthering Heights, that was part of the critique,

0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:23.880
<v Speaker 1>they said, I can't look past Margot Robbie in this film.

0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:26.399
<v Speaker 3>She is not. That was me because I said that

0:24:26.720 --> 0:24:29.520
<v Speaker 3>she has never been as cold as the characters on

0:24:29.560 --> 0:24:30.760
<v Speaker 3>the Moors were in their lives.

0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes, indeed, so you couldn't look past Margot Robbie like

0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:36.840
<v Speaker 1>she has become too big a star to disappear into

0:24:36.960 --> 0:24:38.920
<v Speaker 1>any part that she plays. And I think that that

0:24:39.840 --> 0:24:42.440
<v Speaker 1>is a problem that actors have always grappled with. I'm

0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:44.680
<v Speaker 1>not saying that I don't think it's true that our

0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:48.240
<v Speaker 1>obsession with celebrity, which has always been there, but is

0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:51.280
<v Speaker 1>morphed from being just looking at paparazzi pinches of them

0:24:51.600 --> 0:24:53.800
<v Speaker 1>to insisting that they share everything from what they had

0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:56.119
<v Speaker 1>to breakfast to their baby and all those things. I

0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:59.080
<v Speaker 1>think that it's I think it's kind of intensified. The

0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 1>sleuthing culture you're talking about with Taylor Swift is definitely intensified.

0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:05.240
<v Speaker 1>But I think that this has always been a problem

0:25:05.640 --> 0:25:08.520
<v Speaker 1>for actors is when they get bigger than the parts,

0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:11.280
<v Speaker 1>they have to do a lot more to make you

0:25:11.440 --> 0:25:12.920
<v Speaker 1>believe that they're that pass.

0:25:12.720 --> 0:25:15.240
<v Speaker 3>And there's also a certain strategy in their public persona

0:25:15.440 --> 0:25:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Like I would say that Emma Stone, you've pointed out

0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:21.680
<v Speaker 3>on this show before, she makes really interesting, somewhat weird

0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:24.359
<v Speaker 3>decisions about what movies she's in. She does a lot

0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:27.320
<v Speaker 3>of art house movies, which she doesn't have to do

0:25:27.400 --> 0:25:30.560
<v Speaker 3>at her level of fame, and maybe that's why. Maybe

0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:32.680
<v Speaker 3>what we're talking about here, another word for it is

0:25:32.760 --> 0:25:36.480
<v Speaker 3>exposure and the issue of overexposure. Emma Stone, despite having

0:25:36.520 --> 0:25:39.080
<v Speaker 3>two Academy Awards and being the most decorated actress of

0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:43.120
<v Speaker 3>her generation, somehow does not feel over exposed. And maybe

0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:46.400
<v Speaker 3>that's because she's made very conscious decisions to keep herself

0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 3>out of the public eye in these ways.

0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:52.760
<v Speaker 2>And she's unique in that. I reckon there's a bit

0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:57.480
<v Speaker 2>of a cyclical nature to this, and listening to I've

0:25:57.480 --> 0:26:01.080
<v Speaker 2>been listening to Famesick, the Lena Dunham memoir, and I

0:26:01.160 --> 0:26:04.640
<v Speaker 2>think she talks about this that one of the reasons

0:26:04.680 --> 0:26:07.919
<v Speaker 2>for the believability of Girls, and one of the reasons

0:26:07.960 --> 0:26:10.040
<v Speaker 2>it probably did so well, is because it was a

0:26:10.119 --> 0:26:13.760
<v Speaker 2>relatively unknown cast and you believed that that was Adam

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:17.159
<v Speaker 2>and that was Hannah, and because you didn't know who

0:26:17.200 --> 0:26:23.920
<v Speaker 2>they were. As her brand increased, I think probably as

0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:27.920
<v Speaker 2>a writer she became a writer and a performer, she

0:26:28.000 --> 0:26:31.200
<v Speaker 2>probably became a bit more self aware about what she

0:26:31.359 --> 0:26:33.479
<v Speaker 2>was representing and what she wanted to represent. And you're

0:26:33.560 --> 0:26:38.360
<v Speaker 2>overthinking and I'm watching euphoria at the moment, and that's

0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:41.040
<v Speaker 2>what's happened to that right and watching Jacob, I'm like,

0:26:41.320 --> 0:26:45.320
<v Speaker 2>I guarantee that Jacob A. Laudie has sat down with

0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Sam Levinson and said, I can't have my character be

0:26:49.520 --> 0:26:52.080
<v Speaker 2>a dick. I can't have my character be who he

0:26:52.320 --> 0:26:54.720
<v Speaker 2>was in previous seasons because that won't work for my

0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:58.400
<v Speaker 2>personal brand. And now the story is bizarre and makes

0:26:58.520 --> 0:26:59.520
<v Speaker 2>absolutely no sense.

0:27:00.000 --> 0:27:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I think that's also just the story of any time

0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:06.159
<v Speaker 1>a TV show or a project get gets enormous, then

0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:09.680
<v Speaker 1>the fame becomes a distraction. Well, have data friends, you know, like,

0:27:10.160 --> 0:27:13.240
<v Speaker 1>but I feel that euphoria. The criticism about this season

0:27:13.359 --> 0:27:15.399
<v Speaker 1>is a lot about that is that this was they

0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:17.520
<v Speaker 1>were all respected actors in their different fields, but now

0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:19.360
<v Speaker 1>they're the biggest stars in the world. You can't look

0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:19.879
<v Speaker 1>past them.

0:27:20.080 --> 0:27:22.600
<v Speaker 2>And there is something about Zendea where in her roles

0:27:22.680 --> 0:27:28.040
<v Speaker 2>she's very kind of stripped back, like she doesn't even

0:27:28.080 --> 0:27:29.280
<v Speaker 2>look like her Really.

0:27:29.119 --> 0:27:31.200
<v Speaker 3>Do you think she sat down and said I want

0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:32.600
<v Speaker 3>this and I don't want this or no.

0:27:33.600 --> 0:27:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't think her characters a train wreck. I don't

0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:42.359
<v Speaker 2>think she wants to be there. I don't think, but

0:27:42.480 --> 0:27:44.200
<v Speaker 2>I do think I look at the story and I'm

0:27:44.240 --> 0:27:46.760
<v Speaker 2>like they a one hundred percent. Rewrote this for Jacob

0:27:46.800 --> 0:27:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Alardi's personal brand and Jacob ELORDI like.

0:27:49.080 --> 0:27:52.920
<v Speaker 3>Timo's ay Shallamey has his love life has been a

0:27:53.000 --> 0:27:57.200
<v Speaker 3>subject of conversation, in part because he has made choices

0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:00.280
<v Speaker 3>in his love life that have attracted attention. Yeah.

0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:01.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Whereas and.

0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:06.080
<v Speaker 3>Daya is, we think, married to another very famous actor,

0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:09.720
<v Speaker 3>and yet for some reason that doesn't overshadow our appreciation

0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:10.920
<v Speaker 3>of her roles.

0:28:11.119 --> 0:28:12.879
<v Speaker 1>But I do think it has always been a thing

0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:14.800
<v Speaker 1>that when you want launch a new show, you want

0:28:14.880 --> 0:28:17.600
<v Speaker 1>unknowns who are going to become stars. That's what Friends was,

0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:19.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, That's what lots of things were, and then

0:28:19.560 --> 0:28:22.840
<v Speaker 1>they become stars and they can no longer be those people.

0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:26.119
<v Speaker 1>It's just the way of the world. Suddenly there are

0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:29.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of opinions everywhere about beds. I didn't see

0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:31.840
<v Speaker 1>this coming. I have to say, I didn't see this coming.

0:28:31.920 --> 0:28:35.000
<v Speaker 1>It started for me, Amelia when you shared a piece

0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:37.119
<v Speaker 1>in the New York Times that was an interview with

0:28:37.240 --> 0:28:41.959
<v Speaker 1>some very fancy designers who said they posited the radical

0:28:42.040 --> 0:28:46.280
<v Speaker 1>concept that pillow cases should not match. And I was like, well,

0:28:46.840 --> 0:28:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Brent will be happy with that news, since the man

0:28:50.200 --> 0:28:52.880
<v Speaker 1>has never made a bed that matches ever. But they

0:28:52.960 --> 0:28:56.120
<v Speaker 1>were saying, we want color, we want texture, we want personality.

0:28:56.240 --> 0:28:59.440
<v Speaker 1>We don't want the pillow cases to match ever, And

0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:01.400
<v Speaker 1>then I think, think, probably my phone listened to me

0:29:01.640 --> 0:29:03.560
<v Speaker 1>talking to you about that, because it led me to

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the world of influencer Louis Burke, and I know a

0:29:06.240 --> 0:29:08.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of other women too. He's a creative director and

0:29:09.000 --> 0:29:12.160
<v Speaker 1>a designer who has eight hundred thousand followers and has

0:29:12.440 --> 0:29:16.360
<v Speaker 1>very strict rules about beds. Here he is talking about

0:29:16.400 --> 0:29:19.560
<v Speaker 1>what's chic and what's cheap when it comes to making your.

0:29:19.480 --> 0:29:25.000
<v Speaker 4>Bed chic or cheap. Let's talk beds. You understand, and

0:29:25.080 --> 0:29:30.680
<v Speaker 4>you're not afraid of all beige chic. You think beije

0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:35.560
<v Speaker 4>is boring cheap. You wash and change your bed midden

0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:43.080
<v Speaker 4>weekly chic, You have perfect hospital corners chic, You use

0:29:43.280 --> 0:29:47.480
<v Speaker 4>a top sheet chic, and you know to cuffet over

0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:49.360
<v Speaker 4>your dovet sheep.

0:29:50.400 --> 0:29:52.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so the things he likes. Sorry, did you say

0:29:52.840 --> 0:29:55.120
<v Speaker 3>washing your sheets once week is she or cheap chic?

0:29:55.320 --> 0:29:57.160
<v Speaker 1>If he wants you to have fresh beds, he wants

0:29:57.200 --> 0:29:58.440
<v Speaker 1>you to have fresh beds. That's fine.

0:29:58.560 --> 0:30:01.800
<v Speaker 2>I was hoping you'd say that was cheap. I thought

0:30:01.840 --> 0:30:03.120
<v Speaker 2>he said cheap, and I was like, thank.

0:30:03.000 --> 0:30:06.320
<v Speaker 1>God, things he says it out a cheap pillow chopping.

0:30:06.640 --> 0:30:08.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, when you get your pillow and you chop

0:30:08.760 --> 0:30:10.240
<v Speaker 1>it with your hand to make it go like that.

0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's been doing that on the internet for a long time.

0:30:12.960 --> 0:30:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Out cheap propped up pillows, cheap out top sheets. In

0:30:18.440 --> 0:30:20.560
<v Speaker 1>as he said, he says, you've got to fold your

0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:23.040
<v Speaker 1>douve back further than you think you do with the

0:30:23.120 --> 0:30:25.760
<v Speaker 1>top sheet, coffing the top all the way down, and

0:30:25.800 --> 0:30:28.080
<v Speaker 1>then you have to put your pillows in a pile,

0:30:28.440 --> 0:30:30.600
<v Speaker 1>so not propped up against the bed like this, but

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:32.920
<v Speaker 1>stacked in a pile like a pile of books.

0:30:33.080 --> 0:30:33.200
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:30:33.600 --> 0:30:37.600
<v Speaker 1>That apparently is chic. This man has got a lot

0:30:37.680 --> 0:30:40.280
<v Speaker 1>of women, I know, very upset. How do we feel

0:30:40.320 --> 0:30:42.960
<v Speaker 1>about our beds being judged bed shaming?

0:30:43.520 --> 0:30:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I always look at my bed, and this has been

0:30:48.960 --> 0:30:51.360
<v Speaker 2>since I was sixteen and went to i KA for

0:30:51.440 --> 0:30:54.760
<v Speaker 2>the first time to get my own set of bed sheets.

0:30:55.760 --> 0:30:58.280
<v Speaker 2>Every time I look at my bed, I'm like, it's wrong,

0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:00.640
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know why I still look.

0:31:00.600 --> 0:31:02.200
<v Speaker 1>At it, Because you've been chopping your pillows.

0:31:02.920 --> 0:31:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Definitely not it's definitely because everything matches. But everything matches

0:31:07.400 --> 0:31:10.840
<v Speaker 2>because I can't afford to take a risk. I have

0:31:11.000 --> 0:31:13.960
<v Speaker 2>no taste. I have absolutely no taste. So what am

0:31:14.000 --> 0:31:16.400
<v Speaker 2>I gonna do? Throw clashing colors together?

0:31:16.680 --> 0:31:16.959
<v Speaker 4>So there?

0:31:17.200 --> 0:31:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Do you think there are ways to make so you

0:31:18.920 --> 0:31:20.800
<v Speaker 1>know how I said, Brent never makes a bed that matches.

0:31:20.840 --> 0:31:22.560
<v Speaker 1>It's true. When he makes a bed, he just pulls

0:31:22.640 --> 0:31:25.800
<v Speaker 1>things out like the like the doner doesn't match the sheet,

0:31:25.840 --> 0:31:28.800
<v Speaker 1>the pillow case, and he does not do that to

0:31:28.920 --> 0:31:29.479
<v Speaker 1>be chiced.

0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:32.520
<v Speaker 2>It does not look cheap. The question is does it

0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:33.840
<v Speaker 2>ever look good by accident?

0:31:34.120 --> 0:31:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Very occasionally. But do you think that the thing

0:31:37.040 --> 0:31:39.880
<v Speaker 1>is here is there's intentional clashing and then there's just

0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:41.520
<v Speaker 1>like Brent level message clashing.

0:31:42.120 --> 0:31:45.080
<v Speaker 3>In that video, he said texture. You don't want texture

0:31:45.120 --> 0:31:46.920
<v Speaker 3>in your bed. I'm like, I can't add this to

0:31:47.080 --> 0:31:50.680
<v Speaker 3>my list to texture in my bed. I just want

0:31:50.800 --> 0:31:51.840
<v Speaker 3>sheets and a blanket.

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:53.920
<v Speaker 1>He says. It can't be a throw blanket, though, he

0:31:53.960 --> 0:31:56.680
<v Speaker 1>says throw blankets always end up looking like a wet towel,

0:31:56.760 --> 0:31:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and they're not.

0:31:57.400 --> 0:32:00.080
<v Speaker 2>Called actually because wet towels just to be clear on

0:32:00.160 --> 0:32:00.600
<v Speaker 2>the bed.

0:32:01.800 --> 0:32:01.880
<v Speaker 3>Not.

0:32:04.080 --> 0:32:07.720
<v Speaker 2>But everybody like you describing that, I'm like, that's Jesse's bed,

0:32:07.840 --> 0:32:08.640
<v Speaker 2>she always has.

0:32:08.800 --> 0:32:10.240
<v Speaker 3>It's just a bed stylist.

0:32:10.440 --> 0:32:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Jesse's weirdly quite good at interior design. It's odd

0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:16.160
<v Speaker 2>and I don't understand how she got that skill, and

0:32:16.200 --> 0:32:18.840
<v Speaker 2>I didn't get that skill. But her douna is really thick,

0:32:19.320 --> 0:32:21.720
<v Speaker 2>and then she always folds it down halfway. I don't

0:32:21.720 --> 0:32:22.400
<v Speaker 2>know who told her how.

0:32:22.360 --> 0:32:23.280
<v Speaker 1>To do that, this guy.

0:32:23.440 --> 0:32:27.240
<v Speaker 2>And then and then the pillows are stacked like books,

0:32:27.440 --> 0:32:30.960
<v Speaker 2>not up against the headboard like they are though, like

0:32:31.080 --> 0:32:32.400
<v Speaker 2>if you wanted to sit on your bed.

0:32:32.440 --> 0:32:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Although I'm mad that she people don't do anything except sleep,

0:32:35.560 --> 0:32:36.000
<v Speaker 1>and you know.

0:32:37.680 --> 0:32:42.400
<v Speaker 3>They probably have not two bedroom apartments, they probably have probably.

0:32:42.160 --> 0:32:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Have because I work on my bed a lot, right

0:32:46.240 --> 0:32:46.720
<v Speaker 1>on my bed.

0:32:46.960 --> 0:32:48.760
<v Speaker 3>I eat my bed if I can get away with it.

0:32:48.840 --> 0:32:50.400
<v Speaker 1>I do lots of things in my bed, and I

0:32:50.520 --> 0:32:52.960
<v Speaker 1>need my pillows like that so I can lie on

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:54.560
<v Speaker 1>the same that's cheap.

0:32:54.800 --> 0:32:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think that's really cheap. But no, my bed

0:32:57.320 --> 0:33:00.440
<v Speaker 2>looks really wrong. Did he say that beige sheep?

0:33:00.600 --> 0:33:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Yes, beige is good.

0:33:02.760 --> 0:33:07.280
<v Speaker 2>The problem with beige is is if you're cheap like me,

0:33:08.040 --> 0:33:10.320
<v Speaker 2>stains and then you never really get them out.

0:33:10.360 --> 0:33:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Depends on the color.

0:33:11.440 --> 0:33:14.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Staines is she Yeah, I don't think so.

0:33:14.520 --> 0:33:17.200
<v Speaker 1>And if you just go on a limb there your

0:33:17.280 --> 0:33:19.280
<v Speaker 1>pillowcases match Melia Leicester.

0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:22.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm a bit ashamed.

0:33:22.360 --> 0:33:26.520
<v Speaker 3>I haven't thought a lot about my bed, and like Claire,

0:33:26.680 --> 0:33:29.640
<v Speaker 3>I feel that my taste level is low, you know

0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:32.880
<v Speaker 3>when you had that. I was recently featured in the

0:33:33.160 --> 0:33:37.240
<v Speaker 3>in the Muma mea out loud newsletter, and had a

0:33:37.280 --> 0:33:40.040
<v Speaker 3>few pickies of me in that and one of the

0:33:40.120 --> 0:33:43.360
<v Speaker 3>comments said, she looks different in every picture. And I

0:33:43.520 --> 0:33:45.880
<v Speaker 3>realize that's because I have no point of view in

0:33:45.960 --> 0:33:48.240
<v Speaker 3>my fashion. And if I don't have a point of

0:33:48.280 --> 0:33:50.200
<v Speaker 3>view on my fashion, as sure as heck, don't have

0:33:50.240 --> 0:33:51.240
<v Speaker 3>a point of view on my bed.

0:33:51.680 --> 0:33:54.720
<v Speaker 2>That's me. When when we moved into our current place,

0:33:55.760 --> 0:33:58.160
<v Speaker 2>my sister in law, who's very good at this stuff.

0:33:57.960 --> 0:33:58.160
<v Speaker 3>Was like.

0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:03.680
<v Speaker 2>One word, one word, like what's your oh yeah, what's

0:34:03.680 --> 0:34:05.520
<v Speaker 2>your aesthetic for the place? And I was like what

0:34:06.080 --> 0:34:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Campton's chateau like plane? Like I just couldn't. I was

0:34:15.239 --> 0:34:22.360
<v Speaker 2>like farmhouse kitchen and because you have absolutely no point

0:34:22.400 --> 0:34:24.640
<v Speaker 2>of view, but my bed is just beige and it's

0:34:24.719 --> 0:34:25.320
<v Speaker 2>got beage.

0:34:25.320 --> 0:34:25.640
<v Speaker 4>It is good.

0:34:26.520 --> 0:34:27.600
<v Speaker 2>No, it's not you.

0:34:29.000 --> 0:34:30.680
<v Speaker 1>You can't have a bed with a toddler.

0:34:30.880 --> 0:34:35.520
<v Speaker 2>No, after the break the trade wife conversation we've been

0:34:35.600 --> 0:34:40.719
<v Speaker 2>wanting to have for weeks sixteen minutes. Typical blue and

0:34:40.800 --> 0:34:44.600
<v Speaker 2>pink jobs, boyd jobs and girl jobs, generation old fashion

0:34:45.000 --> 0:34:46.640
<v Speaker 2>that means submitting to my husband.

0:34:46.760 --> 0:34:48.960
<v Speaker 1>The rise and rise of the traad.

0:34:49.239 --> 0:34:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Do you see the tradewife movement as a warning? Absolutely?

0:34:52.360 --> 0:34:55.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't think this movement is just led by women.

0:34:55.680 --> 0:34:59.520
<v Speaker 2>A novel about tradwives Yesteryear has been dominating our social

0:34:59.600 --> 0:35:03.799
<v Speaker 2>media for quite a while now, so it's we've all

0:35:03.920 --> 0:35:06.600
<v Speaker 2>heard about the novel and how Anne Hathaway bought the

0:35:06.719 --> 0:35:09.160
<v Speaker 2>riots and she's going to be in the movie, and

0:35:09.880 --> 0:35:11.000
<v Speaker 2>so many out louders are reading it.

0:35:11.160 --> 0:35:13.080
<v Speaker 1>We talked about it on a subset last week with

0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:13.879
<v Speaker 1>mea yes.

0:35:14.200 --> 0:35:17.560
<v Speaker 2>And then what I find interesting about that is that

0:35:18.040 --> 0:35:21.960
<v Speaker 2>the trad wife phenomenon idea is a few years old,

0:35:22.080 --> 0:35:27.600
<v Speaker 2>but it's really resonating right now, and it also keeps

0:35:27.640 --> 0:35:30.719
<v Speaker 2>popping up in other aspects of culture. So last night

0:35:30.840 --> 0:35:33.400
<v Speaker 2>there was a sixty minutes called The Truth about Tradwives

0:35:33.440 --> 0:35:36.840
<v Speaker 2>and the Men who want Them. It followed two couples,

0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Amber and Kreshi, who have two daughters and embrace pink

0:35:41.080 --> 0:35:43.959
<v Speaker 2>jobs and blue jobs in their home. That's an idea

0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:46.520
<v Speaker 2>that came up on Married at First Sight last season,

0:35:47.040 --> 0:35:50.120
<v Speaker 2>and Janey and Austin an American couple who don't have

0:35:50.280 --> 0:35:53.480
<v Speaker 2>kids yet, which makes Janey a stay at home girlfriend.

0:35:54.239 --> 0:35:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Then there's a new Australian novel called The Marriage Trap

0:35:57.520 --> 0:36:01.280
<v Speaker 2>by Victoria Perman, and it explores the of the historical

0:36:01.520 --> 0:36:05.160
<v Speaker 2>tradwife era and what women have to lose if they

0:36:05.600 --> 0:36:08.840
<v Speaker 2>return there. A recent episode of The Rest Is Entertainment

0:36:08.960 --> 0:36:12.560
<v Speaker 2>also delved into where the tradwives have killed feminism and

0:36:12.840 --> 0:36:18.360
<v Speaker 2>where the cultural phenomenon really came from. It's just a

0:36:18.560 --> 0:36:23.600
<v Speaker 2>conversation that keeps coming up. What do we think is

0:36:23.760 --> 0:36:26.240
<v Speaker 2>behind it? Why are we so obsessed with this idea

0:36:26.320 --> 0:36:28.400
<v Speaker 2>right now? Look, get out your redstring?

0:36:28.480 --> 0:36:31.240
<v Speaker 3>Do you know that meme of I think it's Charlie

0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Day with like looking manic and crazy as he's pointing

0:36:35.960 --> 0:36:38.919
<v Speaker 3>out as like elaborate theory he has about something. Here's

0:36:38.960 --> 0:36:41.640
<v Speaker 3>my elaborate theory. I don't think it's a coincidence that

0:36:41.719 --> 0:36:43.680
<v Speaker 3>this is all happening right now and in fact. One

0:36:43.719 --> 0:36:47.360
<v Speaker 3>of the experts interviewed last night on the sixty minute segment,

0:36:47.440 --> 0:36:50.480
<v Speaker 3>who was a professor at King's College, London, made this

0:36:50.600 --> 0:36:55.520
<v Speaker 3>point as well. So I feel a little vindicated. I

0:36:55.640 --> 0:36:58.279
<v Speaker 3>think there are a lot of men who have a

0:36:58.360 --> 0:37:03.080
<v Speaker 3>lot of power who they might not be overtly sexist.

0:37:03.239 --> 0:37:05.759
<v Speaker 3>They might not get up every day motivated by the

0:37:05.880 --> 0:37:08.080
<v Speaker 3>idea that they want women out of the workforce. But

0:37:08.160 --> 0:37:10.480
<v Speaker 3>I think they think things would be a little tidier

0:37:10.560 --> 0:37:14.040
<v Speaker 3>and a little nicer and a little simpler if women

0:37:14.239 --> 0:37:19.239
<v Speaker 3>just stopped trying to go into paid employment. And this

0:37:19.400 --> 0:37:22.799
<v Speaker 3>occurred to me last week because Jeff Bezos was interviewed

0:37:23.080 --> 0:37:25.840
<v Speaker 3>on CNBC. He said a lot of insane things. He

0:37:25.880 --> 0:37:28.080
<v Speaker 3>said that fifty percent of the population doesn't need to

0:37:28.120 --> 0:37:31.840
<v Speaker 3>pay tax. He dodged questions about why he himself doesn't

0:37:31.880 --> 0:37:34.880
<v Speaker 3>pay tax, And he told us that he's definitely going

0:37:34.920 --> 0:37:37.080
<v Speaker 3>to give away most of his wealth, which is cool.

0:37:36.960 --> 0:37:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Right, I would like him to do this.

0:37:38.640 --> 0:37:40.640
<v Speaker 3>He's definitely going to do it. He hasn't told us where,

0:37:40.680 --> 0:37:42.640
<v Speaker 3>nor where or how, but he's definitely going to do it.

0:37:43.200 --> 0:37:46.320
<v Speaker 3>But one remark he made did not get enough attention

0:37:46.480 --> 0:37:49.080
<v Speaker 3>in my view, and it's about the effects of AI

0:37:49.239 --> 0:37:51.920
<v Speaker 3>on the workforce. I personally found it chilling.

0:37:52.160 --> 0:37:54.960
<v Speaker 7>Let's listen, what's really going to happen is we're going

0:37:55.040 --> 0:37:59.960
<v Speaker 7>to have so much productivity in our economy that for exams,

0:38:00.920 --> 0:38:03.560
<v Speaker 7>this is one effect a lot of people who have

0:38:04.560 --> 0:38:08.319
<v Speaker 7>two earner income households, Right, what are the people who

0:38:08.400 --> 0:38:10.719
<v Speaker 7>is going to drop out of the workforce? That's why

0:38:10.760 --> 0:38:12.080
<v Speaker 7>we're going to have a labor shortage.

0:38:13.520 --> 0:38:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm really confused. What does he mean by that?

0:38:16.360 --> 0:38:20.200
<v Speaker 3>He means that one person in a two parent household

0:38:20.600 --> 0:38:22.600
<v Speaker 3>is just going to drop out of the workforce because

0:38:22.640 --> 0:38:24.560
<v Speaker 3>the robots are going to be doing everything and this

0:38:24.680 --> 0:38:26.440
<v Speaker 3>is apparently a good thing. This is part of his

0:38:26.520 --> 0:38:29.720
<v Speaker 3>conversation about why we should be so happy about AI.

0:38:29.960 --> 0:38:35.600
<v Speaker 2>But is aren't robots devaluing the work of human beings economically,

0:38:36.160 --> 0:38:39.320
<v Speaker 2>and so no one's going to be earning enough money

0:38:39.960 --> 0:38:42.680
<v Speaker 2>to be a single app income household.

0:38:42.760 --> 0:38:45.520
<v Speaker 3>All I know is that Jeff says be happy because

0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:48.719
<v Speaker 3>there's going to be fewer jobs and that we don't

0:38:48.760 --> 0:38:51.520
<v Speaker 3>need to have dual income households anymore. But again, do

0:38:51.640 --> 0:38:54.399
<v Speaker 3>I think Jeff is pushing for AI because he wants

0:38:54.440 --> 0:38:56.759
<v Speaker 3>women out of the workplace? No, he was raised by

0:38:56.800 --> 0:38:59.759
<v Speaker 3>a single mother. He's never said anything overtly sexist. But

0:39:00.040 --> 0:39:04.120
<v Speaker 3>I do think again that he's not necessarily thinking through

0:39:04.440 --> 0:39:07.000
<v Speaker 3>what that means for women, who would be the vast

0:39:07.080 --> 0:39:09.839
<v Speaker 3>majority of people in these two parent households who would

0:39:09.880 --> 0:39:13.839
<v Speaker 3>be dropping out of paid work. Bob Catter last week

0:39:14.040 --> 0:39:17.200
<v Speaker 3>also said he said the quiet part out loud. He

0:39:17.719 --> 0:39:21.160
<v Speaker 3>did an interview with journalist Victoria Divine. Divine thought they

0:39:21.200 --> 0:39:23.160
<v Speaker 3>were going to talk about how he wants to expand

0:39:23.239 --> 0:39:27.359
<v Speaker 3>mining in Queensland, but he had other ideas and I'm

0:39:27.440 --> 0:39:29.319
<v Speaker 3>just going to read to you what he said to her.

0:39:29.800 --> 0:39:32.279
<v Speaker 3>Before I could ask him about his economic interest in

0:39:32.320 --> 0:39:35.440
<v Speaker 3>that proposal, Kata cut me off to say, it's to

0:39:35.520 --> 0:39:37.600
<v Speaker 3>get you enough money so that you can stay home

0:39:37.680 --> 0:39:40.480
<v Speaker 3>and have some kids like every other Australian mother has

0:39:40.560 --> 0:39:43.160
<v Speaker 3>done for the last two hundred years, which you can't

0:39:43.239 --> 0:39:45.480
<v Speaker 3>do now. It's not an option that's available to you,

0:39:45.840 --> 0:39:47.560
<v Speaker 3>whether people want to do it or not. I just

0:39:47.640 --> 0:39:48.640
<v Speaker 3>want to give them that option.

0:39:49.800 --> 0:39:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Bob, Thanks Bob.

0:39:52.640 --> 0:39:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I think I think that Amelia is right about the

0:39:56.760 --> 0:39:59.480
<v Speaker 1>fact that there are there are a lot of big

0:39:59.600 --> 0:40:03.760
<v Speaker 1>forces of pushing the tradwifi business right but I worry

0:40:04.120 --> 0:40:06.719
<v Speaker 1>that the kind of debate that we end up having

0:40:06.800 --> 0:40:08.759
<v Speaker 1>about it. When I say we, I don't necessarily mean

0:40:08.800 --> 0:40:10.680
<v Speaker 1>the three of us, but I mean, you know, online

0:40:10.800 --> 0:40:13.799
<v Speaker 1>the rgibarji about it. We've been led by the nose

0:40:13.840 --> 0:40:16.400
<v Speaker 1>into a culture war about it, which is it's always

0:40:16.440 --> 0:40:19.080
<v Speaker 1>then framed as and the sixty minute piece was a

0:40:19.120 --> 0:40:23.520
<v Speaker 1>bit like this yesterday. Anyone who isn't broadly supportive of

0:40:23.880 --> 0:40:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the women who choose to stay home in these ways

0:40:26.120 --> 0:40:29.319
<v Speaker 1>and do homemaker things and make bread from scratching, all

0:40:29.320 --> 0:40:32.719
<v Speaker 1>those cliches that tradwives do, if they're troubled by it,

0:40:33.400 --> 0:40:38.000
<v Speaker 1>it's some kind of twisted feminist nonsense, and that really

0:40:38.120 --> 0:40:39.920
<v Speaker 1>this is a war between women who work outside the

0:40:39.960 --> 0:40:42.440
<v Speaker 1>home women who don't work outside the home. And I

0:40:42.520 --> 0:40:45.200
<v Speaker 1>think it needs any discussion about tradwifism has to be

0:40:45.400 --> 0:40:51.560
<v Speaker 1>really clear that tradwives need one very specific ingredient to

0:40:51.600 --> 0:40:53.640
<v Speaker 1>make them tradwives and not just women who stay home.

0:40:53.719 --> 0:40:57.240
<v Speaker 1>And that is the submission part. The whole point about

0:40:57.280 --> 0:41:01.440
<v Speaker 1>tradwives is that it is a declaration that their husband,

0:41:01.520 --> 0:41:03.920
<v Speaker 1>their partner, is the head of the household, and that

0:41:04.120 --> 0:41:07.400
<v Speaker 1>it's embracing a traditional role. It isn't about whether or

0:41:07.440 --> 0:41:09.600
<v Speaker 1>not you can afford or want to stay at home

0:41:09.960 --> 0:41:12.360
<v Speaker 1>and be with your children for longer. It isn't about

0:41:12.360 --> 0:41:13.960
<v Speaker 1>whether or not you want to make food or buy

0:41:14.000 --> 0:41:16.440
<v Speaker 1>it in. It isn't about any of those things. It's

0:41:16.520 --> 0:41:20.160
<v Speaker 1>about the idea of submission that is critical in trad

0:41:20.239 --> 0:41:22.400
<v Speaker 1>wife culture. And I think that when we all start

0:41:23.160 --> 0:41:26.040
<v Speaker 1>discussing whether or not we think it's anti feminist that

0:41:26.120 --> 0:41:29.480
<v Speaker 1>a woman likes making dinner, we've lost it, you know

0:41:29.520 --> 0:41:31.360
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, Because that's not what this is about

0:41:31.440 --> 0:41:34.879
<v Speaker 1>at all. And I think it's really there are lots

0:41:34.880 --> 0:41:36.319
<v Speaker 1>of really good reasons. I know we're going to talk

0:41:36.320 --> 0:41:39.680
<v Speaker 1>about why this tradwife ism is a very appealing aesthetic

0:41:39.760 --> 0:41:44.560
<v Speaker 1>because it seems it's often non urban, not in a city.

0:41:45.080 --> 0:41:47.640
<v Speaker 1>You've got space, you've got time, you seem to have

0:41:47.800 --> 0:41:51.120
<v Speaker 1>more choices about how you spend that time. You're in

0:41:51.200 --> 0:41:55.239
<v Speaker 1>a beautiful setting, you're wearing something gorgeous, your children are

0:41:55.239 --> 0:41:59.120
<v Speaker 1>all well behaved, the food looks delicious. It doesn't feel

0:41:59.239 --> 0:42:01.520
<v Speaker 1>like you're wishing to drop the kids at childcare and

0:42:01.560 --> 0:42:04.040
<v Speaker 1>then get on the bus to sit on a train

0:42:04.120 --> 0:42:06.080
<v Speaker 1>in the rain to get to your meeting. It's the

0:42:06.120 --> 0:42:09.160
<v Speaker 1>opposite of that, right, and so many of us are

0:42:09.239 --> 0:42:12.880
<v Speaker 1>so exhausted and burnt out by the need to constantly

0:42:12.960 --> 0:42:16.440
<v Speaker 1>keep puzzling just to have a lifestyle that seems vaguely

0:42:16.520 --> 0:42:20.840
<v Speaker 1>appealing that, of course this looks much more appealing, But

0:42:20.960 --> 0:42:22.520
<v Speaker 1>I think we have to be savvy to what it's

0:42:22.560 --> 0:42:24.239
<v Speaker 1>really selling us, which is submission.

0:42:24.480 --> 0:42:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yes, and I think you're right that that bit

0:42:28.239 --> 0:42:36.400
<v Speaker 2>gets ignored in favor of all the other aesthetic distracting

0:42:36.760 --> 0:42:41.919
<v Speaker 2>parts of what tradwife life looks like. What I found

0:42:41.960 --> 0:42:45.960
<v Speaker 2>really interesting about the Rest Is Entertainment episode where they

0:42:46.560 --> 0:42:48.600
<v Speaker 2>looked at a bunch of research into this and there

0:42:48.680 --> 0:42:53.080
<v Speaker 2>was all sorts of polling. They kind of attributed it

0:42:53.320 --> 0:43:00.160
<v Speaker 2>to a sense of false nostalgia that basically depicting depicting

0:43:00.520 --> 0:43:03.959
<v Speaker 2>a lifestyle that never actually existed. Even what Bob Katta

0:43:04.000 --> 0:43:07.920
<v Speaker 2>said about women have for two hundred years haven't worked

0:43:07.920 --> 0:43:09.840
<v Speaker 2>outside the home, they were able to just have children.

0:43:09.920 --> 0:43:12.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't think he's necessarily correct.

0:43:12.320 --> 0:43:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I thinking about as history, I know I thought

0:43:18.719 --> 0:43:22.879
<v Speaker 2>he'd be I thought he'd be right. But there's there's

0:43:22.960 --> 0:43:29.080
<v Speaker 2>this idea of we like to look back at this

0:43:29.280 --> 0:43:35.239
<v Speaker 2>bygone era of a simpler life, less technology, less less

0:43:35.239 --> 0:43:39.319
<v Speaker 2>of a rush, less comparison, less of that, and that's

0:43:39.440 --> 0:43:44.320
<v Speaker 2>what we find really really appealing. So they call it

0:43:44.680 --> 0:43:48.440
<v Speaker 2>this idea of returnism versus futurism. So there are some

0:43:48.560 --> 0:43:52.440
<v Speaker 2>people who, in terms of how they see the future

0:43:52.480 --> 0:43:54.600
<v Speaker 2>of society, they actually want it to go back in time,

0:43:54.920 --> 0:43:58.400
<v Speaker 2>and there are others who are very excited about technological advances.

0:43:58.680 --> 0:44:01.920
<v Speaker 2>And apparently forty seven percent of gen Z's want to

0:44:02.040 --> 0:44:05.800
<v Speaker 2>live in the past, which I'm like, Oh, when I

0:44:06.000 --> 0:44:10.760
<v Speaker 2>was growing up, I had no desire to go back decades.

0:44:11.080 --> 0:44:14.840
<v Speaker 2>I was excited about the present and the future. And

0:44:15.520 --> 0:44:18.360
<v Speaker 2>this whole kind of I get it served to me

0:44:18.480 --> 0:44:20.320
<v Speaker 2>all the time, and I do find it really appealing,

0:44:20.360 --> 0:44:23.279
<v Speaker 2>this whole cottage core thing of like being at home

0:44:23.400 --> 0:44:26.080
<v Speaker 2>and it's cozy and there's a textured bed with a

0:44:26.200 --> 0:44:29.600
<v Speaker 2>textured bed and you're just kind of sitting around reading

0:44:29.760 --> 0:44:32.320
<v Speaker 2>and you're not getting notifications on your phone and the

0:44:32.400 --> 0:44:35.600
<v Speaker 2>pace of life is slow, and I think that is

0:44:35.719 --> 0:44:39.320
<v Speaker 2>what a lot of the tradwife stuff is appealing to. Interestingly,

0:44:39.480 --> 0:44:42.000
<v Speaker 2>the research in the UK has shown there was an

0:44:42.000 --> 0:44:47.120
<v Speaker 2>interesting question about like who out of like public figures,

0:44:47.200 --> 0:44:51.680
<v Speaker 2>who do you think reflects like tradwife values, and one

0:44:51.719 --> 0:44:55.120
<v Speaker 2>of them was Princess Kate. And when you think about it,

0:44:55.239 --> 0:44:59.560
<v Speaker 2>there is something about the stuff that she she's very

0:44:59.719 --> 0:45:04.240
<v Speaker 2>like in nature. It's been very much like by grounding

0:45:04.320 --> 0:45:07.640
<v Speaker 2>herself in nature and being with her family that has

0:45:07.719 --> 0:45:09.480
<v Speaker 2>been really helpful. And there's a bit of like a

0:45:09.640 --> 0:45:14.160
<v Speaker 2>CPO tone to her images where it's this cozy, warm

0:45:14.520 --> 0:45:18.560
<v Speaker 2>vibe and that is aspirational for a lot of people.

0:45:18.600 --> 0:45:21.279
<v Speaker 1>It's very aspirational. I moved to the country because I

0:45:21.360 --> 0:45:24.560
<v Speaker 1>specifically wanted that I grow vegetables. I like cooking food.

0:45:24.680 --> 0:45:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Like but this is my point, we're getting it all

0:45:27.239 --> 0:45:30.640
<v Speaker 1>mixed up. So it's like Kate is not a trad well, actually,

0:45:30.719 --> 0:45:32.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe she actually is a tradwine.

0:45:32.520 --> 0:45:33.120
<v Speaker 2>The royals are.

0:45:33.120 --> 0:45:35.799
<v Speaker 1>Quite because she is married to the man who will

0:45:35.840 --> 0:45:38.360
<v Speaker 1>be king, so I guess by definition he probably is

0:45:38.480 --> 0:45:39.440
<v Speaker 1>head of the household.

0:45:39.560 --> 0:45:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like she'll have to admit the rest of the king.

0:45:43.719 --> 0:45:47.160
<v Speaker 1>That's not really what her vibe is. But the I

0:45:47.239 --> 0:45:50.400
<v Speaker 1>think the yearning that's so interesting that point Claire about

0:45:50.920 --> 0:45:53.919
<v Speaker 1>yearning for a simpler time. It's defined by that whole

0:45:54.040 --> 0:45:57.440
<v Speaker 1>I hate it here statement, right, which is basically living

0:45:57.560 --> 0:46:01.040
<v Speaker 1>life online I hate it heres are coming to do everything.

0:46:01.120 --> 0:46:03.359
<v Speaker 1>I hate it here, Like I don't know whether it's

0:46:03.960 --> 0:46:06.080
<v Speaker 1>it is a very anxiety inducing time.

0:46:07.000 --> 0:46:09.359
<v Speaker 3>Just said to be happy, Holly. That was the whole

0:46:09.440 --> 0:46:10.400
<v Speaker 3>point of that interview.

0:46:10.600 --> 0:46:13.919
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I don't. That does not give me any reassurance.

0:46:14.239 --> 0:46:18.080
<v Speaker 1>But the thing is, and this is the hypocrisy that

0:46:18.120 --> 0:46:20.280
<v Speaker 1>also needs to be pointed out by the tradwive culture,

0:46:20.320 --> 0:46:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and this was also borne out by one of the

0:46:22.120 --> 0:46:25.000
<v Speaker 1>couples who were interviewed on sixty minutes last night. Is

0:46:25.080 --> 0:46:27.160
<v Speaker 1>that a lot of the tradwives who are selling this

0:46:27.239 --> 0:46:29.560
<v Speaker 1>on social media. Of course they are working, That's exactly

0:46:29.640 --> 0:46:31.640
<v Speaker 1>what they're doing. And the stay at home wife who

0:46:31.760 --> 0:46:35.080
<v Speaker 1>was on sixty minutes last night, the American couple, she's

0:46:35.120 --> 0:46:37.960
<v Speaker 1>a content creator and that's a job, like it is

0:46:38.080 --> 0:46:40.440
<v Speaker 1>definitely a job. She gets paid to make content. That

0:46:40.560 --> 0:46:42.680
<v Speaker 1>is not an easy thing to do. And so I

0:46:42.840 --> 0:46:46.840
<v Speaker 1>think the thing that is worrying about it is not

0:46:47.560 --> 0:46:50.040
<v Speaker 1>that women might choose to stay home and might choose

0:46:50.080 --> 0:46:52.040
<v Speaker 1>to want to do things in a domestic realm that

0:46:52.120 --> 0:46:54.640
<v Speaker 1>has been devalued, and you can definitely argue that it's

0:46:54.640 --> 0:46:58.160
<v Speaker 1>been devalued, but that now they're saying that a quarter

0:46:58.920 --> 0:47:01.640
<v Speaker 1>up to forty percent gen Z men when polled, say

0:47:01.680 --> 0:47:04.799
<v Speaker 1>that they believe that their wives should obey them. Well,

0:47:04.840 --> 0:47:07.239
<v Speaker 1>it's that is the scary bit to me. It's nothing

0:47:07.280 --> 0:47:09.120
<v Speaker 1>to do with the sour though. It's got nothing to

0:47:09.200 --> 0:47:12.160
<v Speaker 1>do with being driven out of the city because it

0:47:12.280 --> 0:47:14.640
<v Speaker 1>can't afford to live a decent life of being sick

0:47:14.680 --> 0:47:17.880
<v Speaker 1>of talking about house prices all the time. That's not scary.

0:47:18.000 --> 0:47:22.360
<v Speaker 3>What's scary is the obey It's not just that domestic

0:47:22.480 --> 0:47:26.960
<v Speaker 3>labor has been devalued. It's not valued at all. It's unpaid.

0:47:27.160 --> 0:47:31.720
<v Speaker 3>And that is why this chad wife lifestyle probably needs

0:47:31.800 --> 0:47:34.240
<v Speaker 3>to come with a bit of a health warning because

0:47:34.400 --> 0:47:37.800
<v Speaker 3>the appeal of it, I think, as you pointed out, Claire,

0:47:37.880 --> 0:47:42.239
<v Speaker 3>is obvious and apparent. But women aged over fifty five

0:47:42.680 --> 0:47:46.480
<v Speaker 3>are among the fastest growing cohort of people experiencing homelessness

0:47:46.560 --> 0:47:49.799
<v Speaker 3>in Australia, and this can be linked in large part

0:47:49.880 --> 0:47:52.200
<v Speaker 3>to the fact that a majority of those women who

0:47:52.280 --> 0:47:55.800
<v Speaker 3>are at risk performed unpaid domestic labor for most of

0:47:55.840 --> 0:47:59.000
<v Speaker 3>their lives. Now, this is not to say that everyone

0:47:59.120 --> 0:48:05.160
<v Speaker 3>who has prayorized or has ultimately ended up performing unpaid domestically,

0:48:05.239 --> 0:48:08.080
<v Speaker 3>but for most of their lives will experience homelessness. Of

0:48:08.160 --> 0:48:10.800
<v Speaker 3>course not nor nor is it right to say that

0:48:11.200 --> 0:48:14.520
<v Speaker 3>everyone who looks after the home and performs that very

0:48:14.560 --> 0:48:17.960
<v Speaker 3>important work is submitting to their husband. But it's to

0:48:18.040 --> 0:48:20.239
<v Speaker 3>say that it's a risk that if you put your

0:48:20.280 --> 0:48:24.000
<v Speaker 3>financial future in the hands of your partner, you are

0:48:24.560 --> 0:48:27.440
<v Speaker 3>at a greater risk of ending up with nothing.

0:48:28.080 --> 0:48:32.040
<v Speaker 2>There's two aspects here, and one is the men who

0:48:32.120 --> 0:48:35.960
<v Speaker 2>are promoting this chadwife ideal. The other is the women

0:48:36.000 --> 0:48:37.839
<v Speaker 2>who are buying into it as well, and a lot

0:48:37.880 --> 0:48:41.000
<v Speaker 2>of the chidwife content. It's not men who are watching

0:48:41.040 --> 0:48:44.680
<v Speaker 2>the tradwife content, it's women. I love it, yeah, And

0:48:45.080 --> 0:48:47.600
<v Speaker 2>although many of us a kind of hate watching it,

0:48:47.760 --> 0:48:50.400
<v Speaker 2>there are some people who are finding it very aspirational.

0:48:50.840 --> 0:48:53.560
<v Speaker 2>And I do think there's something to be said about

0:48:53.719 --> 0:48:57.040
<v Speaker 2>how for a lot of us we feel like we

0:48:57.160 --> 0:49:02.480
<v Speaker 2>were given a binary choice between being a girl boss

0:49:03.040 --> 0:49:05.200
<v Speaker 2>or a trad wife. Like you kind of had to.

0:49:06.200 --> 0:49:08.600
<v Speaker 2>There was a girl boss era of the twenty tens

0:49:08.680 --> 0:49:11.040
<v Speaker 2>where it was like work, work, work, work, work, don't

0:49:11.080 --> 0:49:12.680
<v Speaker 2>listen to your body.

0:49:12.680 --> 0:49:16.239
<v Speaker 3>Well, go back with them, agreed too. I mean, girl

0:49:16.280 --> 0:49:20.120
<v Speaker 3>boss is making a return too. Interestingly that binary choice.

0:49:20.120 --> 0:49:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Exactly that it's like you feel like you have to

0:49:23.000 --> 0:49:27.239
<v Speaker 2>choose one, like you're either em agreed or your ballerina farm.

0:49:27.680 --> 0:49:32.480
<v Speaker 2>And the reality is no, most human beings sit somewhere

0:49:32.520 --> 0:49:38.560
<v Speaker 2>in between, and if we have more equality in our households,

0:49:39.160 --> 0:49:41.640
<v Speaker 2>then we can have more equality when it comes to work.

0:49:42.120 --> 0:49:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Like we're just as the expert said on sixty Minutes

0:49:45.280 --> 0:49:50.680
<v Speaker 2>last night, We're not at a point of equality where

0:49:51.120 --> 0:49:52.440
<v Speaker 2>this is just about choice.

0:49:52.560 --> 0:49:55.320
<v Speaker 1>No, absolutely, And it's interesting because when you say that

0:49:55.480 --> 0:49:57.319
<v Speaker 1>you can pick a girl boss or a trad wife,

0:49:57.440 --> 0:50:00.439
<v Speaker 1>it really I think it's it's true when you look around.

0:50:00.440 --> 0:50:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm always interested in the versions of womanhood that are

0:50:02.920 --> 0:50:06.880
<v Speaker 1>being sold to, particularly young women. But it's nonsense because

0:50:07.120 --> 0:50:10.000
<v Speaker 1>nearly everyone listening to this will be somewhere in the

0:50:10.040 --> 0:50:11.759
<v Speaker 1>middle of all those things and we don't have to

0:50:11.840 --> 0:50:16.120
<v Speaker 1>pick anything, you know. But I also think that I

0:50:16.560 --> 0:50:19.440
<v Speaker 1>personally I love watching tradwife content because I find it

0:50:19.840 --> 0:50:22.799
<v Speaker 1>fascinating and I find it really I'm always interested by

0:50:22.840 --> 0:50:25.320
<v Speaker 1>things that are really different from my life. In terms

0:50:25.360 --> 0:50:27.160
<v Speaker 1>of why you would choose to say, my husband is

0:50:27.160 --> 0:50:28.560
<v Speaker 1>the head of the house, I do what he says,

0:50:28.640 --> 0:50:30.719
<v Speaker 1>like I'm like, what and I like seeing it, But

0:50:30.840 --> 0:50:33.040
<v Speaker 1>also I do love the aesthetic like I love it.

0:50:33.440 --> 0:50:35.880
<v Speaker 1>I love country life and fresh veggies and let's make

0:50:35.920 --> 0:50:38.280
<v Speaker 1>butter from scratch. But you've just got to be aware

0:50:38.320 --> 0:50:40.279
<v Speaker 1>that a lot of this stuff is being served to

0:50:40.360 --> 0:50:46.120
<v Speaker 1>you with almost a subliminal message about something much darker,

0:50:46.280 --> 0:50:48.640
<v Speaker 1>which is about women giving up the right to their

0:50:48.680 --> 0:50:51.640
<v Speaker 1>own autonomy over their bodies, their lives, their jobs, their money.

0:50:52.360 --> 0:50:55.920
<v Speaker 1>So like, enjoy the sour dough, but don't quit your job.

0:50:56.400 --> 0:51:01.160
<v Speaker 2>One thing that's really promising about the data that they

0:51:01.239 --> 0:51:05.040
<v Speaker 2>talked about on the rest of His Entertainment is that

0:51:06.239 --> 0:51:10.120
<v Speaker 2>when they were researching about people's men and women's views

0:51:10.120 --> 0:51:12.520
<v Speaker 2>about trade, wife culture and feminism and all of that,

0:51:13.680 --> 0:51:17.480
<v Speaker 2>men who are in relationships with women are far more

0:51:17.719 --> 0:51:22.040
<v Speaker 2>likely to identify as feminists, and men who aren't far

0:51:22.160 --> 0:51:26.440
<v Speaker 2>less likely. And I think that that's the thing, and

0:51:26.600 --> 0:51:28.840
<v Speaker 2>that's a little bit of the comfort that I'm like

0:51:29.400 --> 0:51:32.160
<v Speaker 2>a lot of these like you've got. On sixty minutes,

0:51:32.200 --> 0:51:34.640
<v Speaker 2>you had Tyson from Married at First Sight, who is

0:51:34.840 --> 0:51:38.759
<v Speaker 2>a single man in his big Gold Coast home talking

0:51:38.760 --> 0:51:40.600
<v Speaker 2>about how he just wants to put his wife in

0:51:40.640 --> 0:51:45.040
<v Speaker 2>the kitchen and I'm like that you will find that

0:51:45.160 --> 0:51:48.480
<v Speaker 2>that is totally incompatible when you actually have to live

0:51:48.560 --> 0:51:53.040
<v Speaker 2>with a real human woman, Like, it is very unlikely

0:51:53.600 --> 0:51:59.880
<v Speaker 2>that that binary masculine and feminine life is going to happen.

0:52:00.200 --> 0:52:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, there are plenty of women who would want to

0:52:03.040 --> 0:52:05.560
<v Speaker 1>move into that house, like. I think that This is

0:52:05.600 --> 0:52:07.200
<v Speaker 1>one of the reasons why I say I think sometimes

0:52:07.200 --> 0:52:09.920
<v Speaker 1>are being led into a cultural argument, because there are

0:52:10.000 --> 0:52:11.640
<v Speaker 1>plenty of women who are like I would love that.

0:52:12.160 --> 0:52:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to work outside the home. I want

0:52:13.920 --> 0:52:16.719
<v Speaker 1>to live in that nice house and cook dinner and

0:52:16.960 --> 0:52:20.520
<v Speaker 1>whatever like this. It's not wrong to want those things. No, Well,

0:52:20.680 --> 0:52:23.520
<v Speaker 1>the pit of it that's scary is that Tyson from

0:52:23.640 --> 0:52:25.960
<v Speaker 1>math is telling you what to do everything.

0:52:26.080 --> 0:52:26.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:52:26.360 --> 0:52:29.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but that's what I mean is that you would

0:52:29.840 --> 0:52:33.000
<v Speaker 2>hope that even if you know jen Z men for example,

0:52:33.000 --> 0:52:37.160
<v Speaker 2>are having these ideas that as they end up in

0:52:37.320 --> 0:52:40.960
<v Speaker 2>long term relationships and as they tackle all the problems

0:52:41.360 --> 0:52:44.680
<v Speaker 2>of our time, such as cost of living and raising children.

0:52:45.000 --> 0:52:47.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's hilarious them talking about being the providers

0:52:47.680 --> 0:52:50.520
<v Speaker 2>when I'm like, yeah, you try and do that, you

0:52:50.680 --> 0:52:54.480
<v Speaker 2>try and provide for a household on one income. I

0:52:54.840 --> 0:52:57.560
<v Speaker 2>do think that they're going to find that it just

0:52:57.719 --> 0:53:01.920
<v Speaker 2>isn't possible, unlike what our friends Jeff says and the.

0:53:02.000 --> 0:53:05.000
<v Speaker 3>King's College professor we've been mentioning. He Jung Chung is

0:53:05.040 --> 0:53:07.560
<v Speaker 3>her name, and she said something that really stuck with

0:53:07.640 --> 0:53:09.560
<v Speaker 3>me on this Just as you know, Jeff is selling

0:53:09.640 --> 0:53:11.680
<v Speaker 3>us a particular vision of the future which may or

0:53:11.719 --> 0:53:14.840
<v Speaker 3>may not come to pass, and she points out that

0:53:14.960 --> 0:53:18.560
<v Speaker 3>what the tadwives are depicting never really existed either.

0:53:18.840 --> 0:53:21.960
<v Speaker 1>No, Out Louders, thank you so much for having us

0:53:22.000 --> 0:53:24.520
<v Speaker 1>in your ears. Listen, we have got a treat for

0:53:24.640 --> 0:53:27.960
<v Speaker 1>subscribers tomorrow. We are doing a proper unpack of the

0:53:28.120 --> 0:53:31.439
<v Speaker 1>Kylie Minogue documentary that I know a lot about Loud

0:53:31.480 --> 0:53:34.520
<v Speaker 1>has watched over the weekend. You can obviously save that

0:53:34.719 --> 0:53:36.920
<v Speaker 1>unpack for whenever you have watched it. But we're going

0:53:37.000 --> 0:53:40.680
<v Speaker 1>to go deep. Claire is joining me and the Spills

0:53:40.760 --> 0:53:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Laura Brodnick, who is the expert in all things entertainment,

0:53:44.320 --> 0:53:46.279
<v Speaker 1>to go deep on the Kyle Venoge Show.

0:53:46.400 --> 0:53:47.480
<v Speaker 3>And I can't wait.

0:53:47.719 --> 0:53:51.120
<v Speaker 1>It was so good. Anyway, until then, we'll see you

0:53:51.520 --> 0:53:52.480
<v Speaker 1>goodbye bye.

0:53:53.840 --> 0:53:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Mum. Mayer acknowledges the traditional owners of the land on

0:53:56.920 --> 0:53:58.560
<v Speaker 2>which we've recorded this podcast
