This is Mumma MIA's twice daily news podcast, 7 00:00:26,014 --> 00:00:29,014 Speaker 3: The Quickie. Well, now that we've ticked over from twenty 8 00:00:29,054 --> 00:00:31,614 Speaker 3: twenty four to twenty twenty five, what can we expect 9 00:00:31,654 --> 00:00:34,454 Speaker 3: from the year ahead. Our cast of experts will tell 10 00:00:34,494 --> 00:00:37,934 Speaker 3: us what's coming out of economically, globally, and even spiritually 11 00:00:38,054 --> 00:00:40,934 Speaker 3: in the new year. Will the unrest in Gaza continue? 12 00:00:40,974 --> 00:00:43,934 Speaker 3: What blockbuster movie will be the Oscar favorite? And will 13 00:00:43,974 --> 00:00:46,974 Speaker 3: those interest rates ever start to come back down? Strap 14 00:00:47,014 --> 00:00:49,534 Speaker 3: yourselves in. We're about to find out what's going down 15 00:00:49,694 --> 00:00:59,494 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five. Welcome to twenty twenty five, the 16 00:00:59,614 --> 00:01:03,934 Speaker 3: Year of the Snake, a time of growth, creativity, and introspection. 17 00:01:04,854 --> 00:01:08,134 Speaker 3: This year, we'll see same sex marriage legalized in Thailand. 18 00:01:08,334 --> 00:01:10,374 Speaker 3: The fee for World Cup will be held in the US. 19 00:01:10,694 --> 00:01:13,854 Speaker 3: Microsoft will stop supporting Windows ten, which was released all 20 00:01:13,894 --> 00:01:16,734 Speaker 3: the way back in twenty fifteen, and Rockstar Games are 21 00:01:16,774 --> 00:01:17,894 Speaker 3: you to release Grand. 22 00:01:17,694 --> 00:01:20,014 Speaker 4: Theft Auto six. There'll also be a. 23 00:01:19,974 --> 00:01:23,334 Speaker 3: Ton of elections across the globe this year, including one 24 00:01:23,534 --> 00:01:26,054 Speaker 3: right here in Australia, which at the latest will be 25 00:01:26,094 --> 00:01:29,254 Speaker 3: held by May seventeen. So what else can we expect 26 00:01:29,334 --> 00:01:31,734 Speaker 3: in the coming twelve months. We have a stack of 27 00:01:31,774 --> 00:01:34,694 Speaker 3: guests lined up to talk us through their predictions, starting 28 00:01:34,774 --> 00:01:38,094 Speaker 3: with Futurist and as Siman Nilsen and as how do 29 00:01:38,134 --> 00:01:40,454 Speaker 3: you think the federal election will pan out considering where 30 00:01:40,454 --> 00:01:42,134 Speaker 3: the major parties are at this point? 31 00:01:42,294 --> 00:01:45,694 Speaker 5: Yeah, good question. I think there was so much excitement 32 00:01:46,014 --> 00:01:48,734 Speaker 5: and the last federal election and a lot of talk 33 00:01:48,854 --> 00:01:53,174 Speaker 5: about change. You know, we had the Independent wave come 34 00:01:53,214 --> 00:01:55,934 Speaker 5: in and it feels like a little bit of a 35 00:01:56,214 --> 00:01:58,974 Speaker 5: meh moment. And I think at this point in time, 36 00:01:59,774 --> 00:02:04,934 Speaker 5: given house prices and interest rates and just an economy 37 00:02:04,974 --> 00:02:09,454 Speaker 5: that is just really really whimpering, Australians are ready for 38 00:02:09,574 --> 00:02:12,094 Speaker 5: a real change and I think people will be really 39 00:02:12,174 --> 00:02:15,014 Speaker 5: voting with their back pockets, and so I think their 40 00:02:15,014 --> 00:02:17,654 Speaker 5: Liberals are in with a very very good chance to 41 00:02:18,374 --> 00:02:19,294 Speaker 5: snatch this one. 42 00:02:19,414 --> 00:02:21,334 Speaker 3: Well, now that you've mentioned her, is this cost of 43 00:02:21,374 --> 00:02:23,334 Speaker 3: living crisis going to continue through next year? 44 00:02:23,374 --> 00:02:26,374 Speaker 5: You think, Well, you'd hope that the RBA would actually 45 00:02:26,414 --> 00:02:29,694 Speaker 5: wake up and look at the data properly and see 46 00:02:29,734 --> 00:02:34,134 Speaker 5: that Australian households are really really hurting. They seem to 47 00:02:34,414 --> 00:02:36,694 Speaker 5: sort of over index on some of the data that 48 00:02:36,774 --> 00:02:39,894 Speaker 5: suits them. But you know, just from a personal perspective, 49 00:02:39,934 --> 00:02:42,054 Speaker 5: the amount of kids that I see now at tennis 50 00:02:42,334 --> 00:02:45,894 Speaker 5: or soccer, et cetera, and after sports, you know, they 51 00:02:45,974 --> 00:02:48,934 Speaker 5: keep going down because people are really really hurting at 52 00:02:48,934 --> 00:02:51,774 Speaker 5: the moment, and this is across the country. People are 53 00:02:51,814 --> 00:02:55,014 Speaker 5: making some really really tough choices to just keep paying 54 00:02:55,054 --> 00:02:57,854 Speaker 5: the mortgages, and we know from the banks that mortgage 55 00:02:57,854 --> 00:03:01,294 Speaker 5: stress is going up. So I think the RBA needs 56 00:03:01,334 --> 00:03:02,574 Speaker 5: a reality check. 57 00:03:03,494 --> 00:03:06,294 Speaker 3: How do you feel the first year of the Trump 58 00:03:06,294 --> 00:03:08,774 Speaker 3: administration two point zero is going to go? I mean, 59 00:03:08,894 --> 00:03:10,894 Speaker 3: last time Trump was in we saw a lot of 60 00:03:10,974 --> 00:03:13,574 Speaker 3: chaos and we saw a lot of craziness. 61 00:03:13,574 --> 00:03:15,014 Speaker 4: Do you think that's going to be repeated? 62 00:03:15,734 --> 00:03:18,694 Speaker 5: Well, I think we all know what to expect. And 63 00:03:19,254 --> 00:03:24,774 Speaker 5: despite all the words, I sometimes feel like the bark 64 00:03:24,934 --> 00:03:28,774 Speaker 5: is actually bigger than the bite. He is an entertainer, 65 00:03:28,854 --> 00:03:33,414 Speaker 5: and I'm not necessarily condoning some of the blatant promises 66 00:03:33,454 --> 00:03:37,334 Speaker 5: and the hyperbole in any way, right, But I often 67 00:03:37,374 --> 00:03:39,774 Speaker 5: feel like he has a very very big mouth. We 68 00:03:39,934 --> 00:03:43,014 Speaker 5: know that after he last got into power. In the 69 00:03:43,014 --> 00:03:47,254 Speaker 5: first twelve months of his administration, according to the Washington Post, 70 00:03:48,214 --> 00:03:52,814 Speaker 5: donald Trump told six thousand misrepresentations or lies. With that 71 00:03:52,854 --> 00:03:55,294 Speaker 5: also comes a level of not delivering on some of 72 00:03:55,294 --> 00:03:58,374 Speaker 5: the stuff that he actually talks about. So I would 73 00:03:58,454 --> 00:04:01,574 Speaker 5: hope that things like, you know, sending a bunch of 74 00:04:01,894 --> 00:04:05,534 Speaker 5: immigrants back across borders, etc. You know, don't actually hold true. 75 00:04:05,574 --> 00:04:07,254 Speaker 5: And what we saw in the last election in the 76 00:04:07,374 --> 00:04:10,494 Speaker 5: United States is that a lot of the minorities, including 77 00:04:10,574 --> 00:04:14,854 Speaker 5: Hispanics and African Americans in the United States came out 78 00:04:14,854 --> 00:04:18,174 Speaker 5: in big numbers voting for Trump despite of some of 79 00:04:18,214 --> 00:04:21,734 Speaker 5: the things he was saying about the minority group. So yeah, 80 00:04:21,734 --> 00:04:24,054 Speaker 5: it's an interesting one where people actually see through him 81 00:04:24,334 --> 00:04:27,174 Speaker 5: and see this idea that the bark is bigger than 82 00:04:27,174 --> 00:04:27,814 Speaker 5: the bite. 83 00:04:28,214 --> 00:04:30,534 Speaker 3: Do you see any resolution to some of the bigger 84 00:04:30,614 --> 00:04:34,094 Speaker 3: conflicts happening around the world this year? So in Ukraine, 85 00:04:34,174 --> 00:04:36,294 Speaker 3: which is now years and years in, we're over a 86 00:04:36,374 --> 00:04:39,494 Speaker 3: year into Gaza, We've had unrest in Sudan, Will any 87 00:04:39,534 --> 00:04:41,014 Speaker 3: of those places you feel fine? 88 00:04:41,054 --> 00:04:41,774 Speaker 4: Piece this year? 89 00:04:42,254 --> 00:04:45,254 Speaker 5: Piece is an interesting term, right, particularly in the sort 90 00:04:45,294 --> 00:04:49,894 Speaker 5: of low level continuous cyber warfare and skirmishes et cetera. 91 00:04:50,294 --> 00:04:53,174 Speaker 5: Obviously there's a lot of contested territories in places like 92 00:04:53,574 --> 00:04:56,734 Speaker 5: the Ukraine. I think the Ukraine probably is a bit 93 00:04:56,774 --> 00:05:00,814 Speaker 5: closer than say an Israel plat Palestine conflict to get 94 00:05:00,854 --> 00:05:05,574 Speaker 5: to some kind of at least temporary solution that saves 95 00:05:05,614 --> 00:05:08,534 Speaker 5: maybe a little bit of face for someone like Putin, 96 00:05:08,614 --> 00:05:11,694 Speaker 5: But it's going to come with really hard choices for Ukrainians. 97 00:05:11,894 --> 00:05:16,894 Speaker 5: But I don't think you'll see permanent borders being redrawn, 98 00:05:17,334 --> 00:05:20,294 Speaker 5: but you might get some demilitarized zones, et cetera. And 99 00:05:20,374 --> 00:05:23,334 Speaker 5: I think that is more likely outcome than sort of 100 00:05:23,574 --> 00:05:26,294 Speaker 5: whole scale piece as we think of sort of a 101 00:05:26,694 --> 00:05:29,374 Speaker 5: nineteen forty five post World War scenario. 102 00:05:30,014 --> 00:05:33,574 Speaker 3: So you don't feel a Gaza solution is happening anytime soon. 103 00:05:34,614 --> 00:05:36,894 Speaker 5: I'd love to say yes, but I don't see it 104 00:05:36,934 --> 00:05:39,454 Speaker 5: on the future map at the moment. 105 00:05:39,574 --> 00:05:41,974 Speaker 3: Sadly, some of that you and I spoke about quite 106 00:05:42,014 --> 00:05:44,014 Speaker 3: a bit in twenty twenty four is the rise of 107 00:05:44,094 --> 00:05:47,454 Speaker 3: AI in our day to day lives. Is this year 108 00:05:47,494 --> 00:05:50,694 Speaker 3: the year that it takes over everything? Finally, what kind 109 00:05:50,694 --> 00:05:52,454 Speaker 3: of tech trends are you seeing this year? 110 00:05:53,054 --> 00:05:56,254 Speaker 5: I think with AI, what's important to realize here is 111 00:05:56,294 --> 00:05:59,134 Speaker 5: that it's helping us do less of the menial and 112 00:05:59,174 --> 00:06:02,334 Speaker 5: the mundane and helping us as humans sort of take 113 00:06:02,374 --> 00:06:04,774 Speaker 5: the robot out of the human in other words, you know, 114 00:06:04,854 --> 00:06:10,054 Speaker 5: do less data entry and menial, high routine work and 115 00:06:10,054 --> 00:06:13,374 Speaker 5: actually liberating us to not do the menial and the 116 00:06:13,454 --> 00:06:15,734 Speaker 5: mundane and do more of the meaningful and the humane. 117 00:06:15,734 --> 00:06:18,614 Speaker 5: In other words, it's helping us turn a shout into 118 00:06:18,654 --> 00:06:20,974 Speaker 5: a could. There's all things that we want to do 119 00:06:21,014 --> 00:06:23,214 Speaker 5: in our lives. You know, if we run a small business, 120 00:06:23,254 --> 00:06:25,494 Speaker 5: for example, we know we should be doing more newsletters. 121 00:06:25,534 --> 00:06:27,814 Speaker 5: We know we should be doing more video content, we 122 00:06:27,854 --> 00:06:29,814 Speaker 5: know we should be doing more blogging and social media, 123 00:06:29,854 --> 00:06:32,894 Speaker 5: et cetera. Well, AI and twenty twenty four made all 124 00:06:32,894 --> 00:06:35,414 Speaker 5: of that super easy, whether it was using you know, 125 00:06:35,534 --> 00:06:39,774 Speaker 5: Hagen dot ai for example for instant you know, video creation, 126 00:06:40,894 --> 00:06:43,734 Speaker 5: or whether it was using flick dot social to do 127 00:06:43,814 --> 00:06:46,534 Speaker 5: really great scheduling, or using chat GPT to you know, 128 00:06:46,694 --> 00:06:49,974 Speaker 5: take a video, transcribe it and turn into really great newsletter. 129 00:06:50,054 --> 00:06:53,694 Speaker 5: Certainly for my business, it's been massively helpful and helping 130 00:06:53,734 --> 00:06:55,334 Speaker 5: me do less of the menial and the mundane and 131 00:06:55,334 --> 00:06:57,694 Speaker 5: stuff that I know I should be doing and now 132 00:06:57,694 --> 00:07:00,734 Speaker 5: it's helping me turn those into a could because the 133 00:07:00,774 --> 00:07:04,414 Speaker 5: mental boundary to getting stuff done or getting shipped done, 134 00:07:04,454 --> 00:07:06,374 Speaker 5: as I like to say, you know, has just been 135 00:07:06,414 --> 00:07:08,854 Speaker 5: brought down excuse my French. And this is in a 136 00:07:08,934 --> 00:07:14,214 Speaker 5: year where GPT four was ten x as powerful as 137 00:07:14,294 --> 00:07:18,934 Speaker 5: Chat GPT three. In fact, the IQ of Chat GPT 138 00:07:19,214 --> 00:07:23,134 Speaker 5: four is one hundred and fifty five. Einstein's was one 139 00:07:23,214 --> 00:07:28,414 Speaker 5: hundred and sixty. So Chat GPT already is mensa level smart. 140 00:07:28,934 --> 00:07:30,894 Speaker 5: And really, what we've seen over the last couple of 141 00:07:30,934 --> 00:07:34,014 Speaker 5: years is that if the early versions of Chat GPT 142 00:07:34,254 --> 00:07:37,934 Speaker 5: was just like having a you know, university graduate, you know, 143 00:07:37,934 --> 00:07:41,134 Speaker 5: an undergrad, maybe a master's level student in your back pocket. 144 00:07:41,534 --> 00:07:43,294 Speaker 5: You know, the big question is what happens when we 145 00:07:43,334 --> 00:07:47,134 Speaker 5: will have a PhD or an Einstein in our back pocket. 146 00:07:47,534 --> 00:07:51,134 Speaker 5: This is going to revolutionize the game. And whether AGI 147 00:07:51,374 --> 00:07:53,654 Speaker 5: or artificial general intelligence is going to take over the 148 00:07:53,654 --> 00:07:56,214 Speaker 5: world or not this year, that remains to be seen. 149 00:07:56,934 --> 00:07:59,854 Speaker 5: But certainly it's going to boost all of our productivity, 150 00:07:59,934 --> 00:08:01,014 Speaker 5: that is for sure. 151 00:08:02,374 --> 00:08:04,974 Speaker 3: Let's move on to something a bit less heavy. How 152 00:08:04,974 --> 00:08:07,494 Speaker 3: will fashion look in twenty twenty five to tell us 153 00:08:07,534 --> 00:08:09,934 Speaker 3: what's in and what's out? Is mum and his own 154 00:08:09,974 --> 00:08:12,614 Speaker 3: executive editor and co host of Both of You Beauty 155 00:08:12,654 --> 00:08:15,854 Speaker 3: and Nothing to Wear podcasts Lee Campbell. Lee, can we 156 00:08:15,854 --> 00:08:19,214 Speaker 3: start with shoes first? I hear that thongs sandals are 157 00:08:19,334 --> 00:08:20,974 Speaker 3: everything in twenty twenty five. 158 00:08:21,534 --> 00:08:23,534 Speaker 4: This is true, so the song is back. 159 00:08:23,654 --> 00:08:28,054 Speaker 2: Not only are havianas the rubber thongs back, but leather thongs, 160 00:08:28,094 --> 00:08:32,734 Speaker 2: flat sandals, but also leather heel thongs. So your heel, 161 00:08:32,854 --> 00:08:34,814 Speaker 2: but it's going to go between your toe like a 162 00:08:34,854 --> 00:08:35,854 Speaker 2: traditional thong. 163 00:08:35,854 --> 00:08:38,494 Speaker 3: As someone who wore those to nightclubs in the nineties, 164 00:08:38,934 --> 00:08:41,974 Speaker 3: rip the in between of your big toe and second toe. 165 00:08:42,094 --> 00:08:45,334 Speaker 4: Just saying I agree, particularly with the heel. I'm into 166 00:08:45,374 --> 00:08:46,814 Speaker 4: the flat, you know, a flat sandal. 167 00:08:46,854 --> 00:08:48,814 Speaker 2: It's very sort of minimal, the very easy to wear, 168 00:08:48,894 --> 00:08:50,854 Speaker 2: although not a huge amount of arch support. 169 00:08:50,894 --> 00:08:52,774 Speaker 4: But with the heel, no, I can't do that. 170 00:08:52,894 --> 00:08:54,974 Speaker 3: Not me neither, all right, So moving along. I heard 171 00:08:54,974 --> 00:08:57,814 Speaker 3: that the color palette of twenty twenty five is not 172 00:08:57,894 --> 00:09:00,414 Speaker 3: just one color, but it's a print that we kind 173 00:09:00,414 --> 00:09:03,094 Speaker 3: of almost consider just a color on its own. So 174 00:09:03,134 --> 00:09:06,094 Speaker 3: I've heard that yellow and leopard print are all about 175 00:09:06,094 --> 00:09:09,054 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. Yeah, so it's kind of a buttery 176 00:09:09,094 --> 00:09:11,454 Speaker 3: yellow it's it's really sort of beautiful, I guess, kind 177 00:09:11,494 --> 00:09:13,214 Speaker 3: of muted pastal yellow. 178 00:09:13,214 --> 00:09:15,134 Speaker 4: You'll see that everywhere. And I've seen a pair of 179 00:09:15,374 --> 00:09:17,134 Speaker 4: keeled songs in that body yellow. 180 00:09:17,334 --> 00:09:20,614 Speaker 2: Great leopard prints having a huge moment right now over 181 00:09:20,654 --> 00:09:22,574 Speaker 2: the summer, but I don't think it's going to be 182 00:09:22,694 --> 00:09:25,494 Speaker 2: you know, throughout twenty twenty five, we're going to see 183 00:09:25,574 --> 00:09:28,774 Speaker 2: sage green being new neutral, so it kind of again 184 00:09:28,894 --> 00:09:32,974 Speaker 2: muted kind of pastel green. So leopard and yellow right now, yes, 185 00:09:33,054 --> 00:09:34,934 Speaker 2: but as we go into winter, we're going to have 186 00:09:35,054 --> 00:09:37,494 Speaker 2: more red, a different kind of red. We've had burgundy, 187 00:09:37,574 --> 00:09:40,534 Speaker 2: we've had bright red. Now it's cherry red and sage, 188 00:09:40,694 --> 00:09:43,014 Speaker 2: which I'm a bit more into than the leopard print. 189 00:09:43,174 --> 00:09:44,254 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say so too. 190 00:09:44,294 --> 00:09:45,934 Speaker 3: Can you tell me where we're going with pants though, 191 00:09:46,014 --> 00:09:48,174 Speaker 3: Lee Campbell, because I'm a massive fan of the wide 192 00:09:48,214 --> 00:09:50,214 Speaker 3: leg and I really wanted to stay Is that going 193 00:09:50,254 --> 00:09:50,654 Speaker 3: to happen? 194 00:09:51,414 --> 00:09:53,414 Speaker 2: I don't have great news to you. Look, the good 195 00:09:53,414 --> 00:09:55,094 Speaker 2: thing is you can wear whatever you want. The police 196 00:09:55,134 --> 00:09:57,614 Speaker 2: won't come and get you. We went crazy with wide 197 00:09:57,694 --> 00:10:00,254 Speaker 2: leg pants in twenty twenty four. There was no such 198 00:10:00,334 --> 00:10:02,654 Speaker 2: thing as too wide. So now as trends, you know, 199 00:10:02,694 --> 00:10:05,734 Speaker 2: they're a pendulum. We're going a little bit smaller, more 200 00:10:05,734 --> 00:10:09,214 Speaker 2: of a straight leg. You will see skinny jeans coming back, 201 00:10:09,294 --> 00:10:11,334 Speaker 2: but more of a straight leg. Still sort of that 202 00:10:11,454 --> 00:10:15,734 Speaker 2: tailored pant, but not super wide, just kind of not yeah, 203 00:10:15,854 --> 00:10:16,734 Speaker 2: just kind of straight. 204 00:10:16,894 --> 00:10:18,854 Speaker 4: But hey, you wear whatever pants you like. 205 00:10:19,054 --> 00:10:21,454 Speaker 3: Well, those of us with thighs and rather large calves 206 00:10:21,494 --> 00:10:23,494 Speaker 3: have really appreciated the wide leg trend, so. 207 00:10:23,574 --> 00:10:26,614 Speaker 4: Me, I have to stick with that. Mine aren't going anywhere. 208 00:10:26,614 --> 00:10:28,334 Speaker 2: They look good, they're comfy, so I don't care what 209 00:10:28,374 --> 00:10:29,454 Speaker 2: the trends true that. 210 00:10:29,534 --> 00:10:31,854 Speaker 3: Well, can we talk about dresses, because I'm hearing that 211 00:10:31,974 --> 00:10:33,974 Speaker 3: strapless is all the rage this coming year. 212 00:10:34,174 --> 00:10:36,374 Speaker 2: Kicking off this here we are seeing strapless dress is 213 00:10:36,414 --> 00:10:38,174 Speaker 2: not so much of the kind of going out dress, 214 00:10:38,174 --> 00:10:41,094 Speaker 2: but think a maxi dress that's strapless. But what they're 215 00:10:41,094 --> 00:10:44,134 Speaker 2: doing is it's basically falls straight from the bust, so 216 00:10:44,494 --> 00:10:47,094 Speaker 2: very a line. They're called a tent dress, and they 217 00:10:47,174 --> 00:10:50,214 Speaker 2: usually have either a very sin shoe string strap or 218 00:10:50,494 --> 00:10:54,574 Speaker 2: just they just fall from the bust, very comfy, often pockets, 219 00:10:55,054 --> 00:10:57,174 Speaker 2: mostly in a maxi length, but you can get them 220 00:10:57,214 --> 00:11:00,414 Speaker 2: in a mini dress strapless. For me, look, I think 221 00:11:00,414 --> 00:11:02,614 Speaker 2: they look beautiful, but I think they're hard to keep 222 00:11:02,654 --> 00:11:04,774 Speaker 2: on and you're kind of hyking everything up. So I 223 00:11:04,854 --> 00:11:07,094 Speaker 2: like it with the little strap and then you can 224 00:11:07,174 --> 00:11:08,894 Speaker 2: just pop it on and with someone with endo. It 225 00:11:08,934 --> 00:11:11,254 Speaker 2: doesn't matter if I'm having an endow flare, it doesn't 226 00:11:11,294 --> 00:11:13,734 Speaker 2: matter what's going on under there. It's very comfy. But 227 00:11:13,774 --> 00:11:16,134 Speaker 2: that's again, that'll be around for the rest of summer 228 00:11:16,174 --> 00:11:18,574 Speaker 2: and I think into autumn, but it's not particularly a 229 00:11:18,614 --> 00:11:19,294 Speaker 2: winter trend. 230 00:11:19,534 --> 00:11:19,614 Speaker 1: No. 231 00:11:19,854 --> 00:11:21,734 Speaker 3: Also, for those of us who have, you know, some 232 00:11:21,854 --> 00:11:24,174 Speaker 3: heavy breasticles going on at the front, a little strap 233 00:11:24,254 --> 00:11:26,694 Speaker 3: does hide a bra in order to keep that up too, 234 00:11:26,854 --> 00:11:29,054 Speaker 3: it does, or you need a very good strapless bra 235 00:11:29,214 --> 00:11:34,334 Speaker 3: Nahla Nassy brand that does a fantastic shoplus bra, no padding. 236 00:11:34,014 --> 00:11:35,414 Speaker 4: And it stays on. Trust me. 237 00:11:35,534 --> 00:11:38,614 Speaker 2: I have jumped several times practicing and it's a good 238 00:11:38,614 --> 00:11:40,094 Speaker 2: one for the art of stuff. 239 00:11:40,134 --> 00:11:43,254 Speaker 3: Okay, the jump test says knowledge love that. 240 00:11:44,094 --> 00:11:45,174 Speaker 4: Let's talk accessories. 241 00:11:45,214 --> 00:11:47,174 Speaker 3: We've been obsessed with the cross body bag for a 242 00:11:47,174 --> 00:11:48,934 Speaker 3: few seasons now, is that sticking about? 243 00:11:49,294 --> 00:11:51,374 Speaker 2: Look, I'm always going to use my cross body because 244 00:11:51,374 --> 00:11:53,134 Speaker 2: I think they're really handy. But we're actually going to 245 00:11:53,174 --> 00:11:55,734 Speaker 2: see the return of the good old classic shoulder bag 246 00:11:55,814 --> 00:11:59,694 Speaker 2: so literally that handbag that pops over your shoulder. It's big, 247 00:11:59,734 --> 00:12:02,014 Speaker 2: but it's not your big work tote. We're still having 248 00:12:02,054 --> 00:12:04,094 Speaker 2: our big work tote, but it's that kind of bag 249 00:12:04,134 --> 00:12:06,334 Speaker 2: that will kind of take you anywhere. You can go 250 00:12:06,374 --> 00:12:08,494 Speaker 2: to evening, you can go to lunch. It'll fit all 251 00:12:08,494 --> 00:12:10,734 Speaker 2: your necessities. But if you've got your laptop and your 252 00:12:10,734 --> 00:12:12,774 Speaker 2: shoes in your lunch box, you're still using a tote. 253 00:12:12,774 --> 00:12:14,294 Speaker 4: But yeah, just a good old shoulder bag. 254 00:12:14,574 --> 00:12:17,414 Speaker 3: Okay, Just finally, can we talk about skincare trends because 255 00:12:17,414 --> 00:12:19,534 Speaker 3: I feel like twenty twenty four was more and more 256 00:12:19,654 --> 00:12:21,294 Speaker 3: and we lay it and laid and we had twenty 257 00:12:21,294 --> 00:12:22,854 Speaker 3: steps and then we had a mass that we wore 258 00:12:22,894 --> 00:12:25,294 Speaker 3: for twenty four hours and it just felt like it 259 00:12:25,374 --> 00:12:27,454 Speaker 3: was a lot. What are we doing at twenty twenty bour? 260 00:12:28,334 --> 00:12:29,734 Speaker 2: You know what we did do a lot and we 261 00:12:30,174 --> 00:12:32,894 Speaker 2: you know, collectively destroyed our skin barrier. So it's all 262 00:12:32,934 --> 00:12:36,334 Speaker 2: about nourishment and looking after the acid mantle. So you'll 263 00:12:36,334 --> 00:12:39,214 Speaker 2: see a lot of peptides coming through anything that's going 264 00:12:39,254 --> 00:12:41,694 Speaker 2: to kind of calm and soothe and strengthen. 265 00:12:42,294 --> 00:12:45,374 Speaker 4: But given that, which leads in nicely is the rise. 266 00:12:45,174 --> 00:12:48,094 Speaker 2: Of k beauty and jade beauty. So Japanese and Korean skincare. 267 00:12:48,174 --> 00:12:51,054 Speaker 2: Obviously they're not a trend. Those countries have always produced 268 00:12:51,054 --> 00:12:54,094 Speaker 2: fantastic skin care, but as we have better access to 269 00:12:54,134 --> 00:12:57,494 Speaker 2: them now here in Australia, and they're all about that beautiful, glowing, 270 00:12:57,614 --> 00:13:00,974 Speaker 2: nourishing skin at an affordable price point.

We'll see more and more 272 00:13:03,334 --> 00:13:05,334 Speaker 2: of their products hitting our shores that are just going 273 00:13:05,374 --> 00:13:08,494 Speaker 2: to give us that glow without seven million steps. 274 00:13:10,574 --> 00:13:14,014 Speaker 3: Okay, what will we be watching in twenty twenty five 275 00:13:14,134 --> 00:13:16,974 Speaker 3: and what will be winning all the awards this coming season. 276 00:13:17,294 --> 00:13:19,494 Speaker 3: Laura Brodnick is Mom and Me is head of entertainment 277 00:13:19,534 --> 00:13:22,694 Speaker 3: and co host of the Spiel podcast. Laura Brodnick, I 278 00:13:22,694 --> 00:13:24,774 Speaker 3: think I know the answer to this question already because 279 00:13:25,054 --> 00:13:28,254 Speaker 3: we spoke about your experience whilst going to see Wicked 280 00:13:28,294 --> 00:13:30,854 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four. But what was your movie of 281 00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:32,054 Speaker 3: the year last year? 282 00:13:32,334 --> 00:13:32,614 Speaker 5: Oh? 283 00:13:32,774 --> 00:13:34,374 Speaker 6: I mean you think you know the answer, but it's 284 00:13:34,414 --> 00:13:37,774 Speaker 6: actually a tie between Wicked, which was the movie of 285 00:13:37,814 --> 00:13:40,174 Speaker 6: the Year. But I also think there was so much 286 00:13:40,174 --> 00:13:41,774 Speaker 6: build up to that and we knew it was going 287 00:13:41,814 --> 00:13:43,734 Speaker 6: to be a winner. But my other Movie of the 288 00:13:43,814 --> 00:13:46,214 Speaker 6: Year is Anora, which is going to be the kind 289 00:13:46,294 --> 00:13:49,494 Speaker 6: of big movie that takes over award season in twenty 290 00:13:49,534 --> 00:13:51,814 Speaker 6: twenty five, and that is a movie experience like I 291 00:13:51,854 --> 00:13:54,174 Speaker 6: can't remember the last time I had a cinematic experience 292 00:13:54,334 --> 00:13:55,894 Speaker 6: like that. So it's a tie I can't pick. 293 00:13:55,894 --> 00:13:58,094 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Okay, give us a little lowdown on Anura 294 00:13:58,094 --> 00:14:00,174 Speaker 3: and why you think it's going to win all the awards. 295 00:14:00,654 --> 00:14:03,574 Speaker 6: So it's a drama written directed by Sean Baker. It's 296 00:14:03,574 --> 00:14:06,134 Speaker 6: been blowing up the film festivals for over a year. 297 00:14:06,174 --> 00:14:08,574 Speaker 6: It won the Palm Dure at the carn Film Festival. 298 00:14:09,054 --> 00:14:12,214 Speaker 6: It's at a stuper INSECX worker working in New York 299 00:14:12,254 --> 00:14:15,694 Speaker 6: who meets the son of a Russian billionaire and they've 300 00:14:15,694 --> 00:14:18,294 Speaker 6: gone this wild adventure together but things take a big 301 00:14:18,334 --> 00:14:20,614 Speaker 6: turn when his family finds out. It's kind of like 302 00:14:20,654 --> 00:14:23,854 Speaker 6: a very dark version of Pretty Woman. It's been like 303 00:14:23,934 --> 00:14:26,414 Speaker 6: kind of the standout movie. The performance is the script. 304 00:14:26,494 --> 00:14:28,534 Speaker 6: It's one of those movies where you'll laugh, you'll cry, 305 00:14:29,014 --> 00:14:31,454 Speaker 6: and the audience reception from it has been crazy. 306 00:14:31,774 --> 00:14:33,614 Speaker 3: Who else is going to win big at the Oscars 307 00:14:33,614 --> 00:14:35,854 Speaker 3: from this past year's awards, because we kid got a 308 00:14:35,894 --> 00:14:39,094 Speaker 3: whole bunch of nooms recently, but the director didn't get any. 309 00:14:39,174 --> 00:14:41,294 Speaker 3: Are we feeling like that might be the theme for 310 00:14:41,374 --> 00:14:42,694 Speaker 3: the award season ahead? 311 00:14:43,094 --> 00:14:45,654 Speaker 6: Or actually, the twenty twenty five award season is going 312 00:14:45,694 --> 00:14:49,134 Speaker 6: to be the closest and most exciting award season we've 313 00:14:49,174 --> 00:14:51,174 Speaker 6: had in years. For the last couple of years, a 314 00:14:51,174 --> 00:14:53,494 Speaker 6: lot of the categories have been locked coming into the year. 315 00:14:53,894 --> 00:14:55,974 Speaker 6: It's been the same few people winning awards. There's been 316 00:14:56,014 --> 00:14:59,854 Speaker 6: no surprises with this twenty twenty five award season. There's 317 00:14:59,894 --> 00:15:01,814 Speaker 6: a few big movies at are neck and neck, and 318 00:15:01,854 --> 00:15:03,614 Speaker 6: if they weren't all in the same year, they would 319 00:15:03,614 --> 00:15:06,574 Speaker 6: all take out the awards. So we've got Anora, We've 320 00:15:06,614 --> 00:15:09,374 Speaker 6: got Wicked part one, Part two's coming at the end 321 00:15:09,374 --> 00:15:12,734 Speaker 6: of Ye, and Amelia Perez, which is the big French 322 00:15:12,934 --> 00:15:17,414 Speaker 6: crime musical starring Zoe's Eel Data and Selena Gomez. So 323 00:15:17,574 --> 00:15:20,214 Speaker 6: they're the three big ones that will be competing for 324 00:15:20,374 --> 00:15:23,334 Speaker 6: Best Pitcher. But also that means that the Best Actress 325 00:15:23,374 --> 00:15:26,774 Speaker 6: and Best Supporting Actress categories are closer than they've ever 326 00:15:26,854 --> 00:15:29,734 Speaker 6: been before because they've got Cynthia Rivo and Ariana Grande 327 00:15:29,774 --> 00:15:33,134 Speaker 6: for Wicked. Both of those people would normally win their categories. 328 00:15:33,174 --> 00:15:35,214 Speaker 6: But at the same time, you've got Zoe Saldana and 329 00:15:35,254 --> 00:15:38,454 Speaker 6: Selena Gomez in there, who are also most potentially going 330 00:15:38,494 --> 00:15:41,454 Speaker 6: to get the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress nominations, 331 00:15:42,174 --> 00:15:45,614 Speaker 6: And of course Mikey Madison, who is the star of Anora. 332 00:15:45,734 --> 00:15:47,654 Speaker 6: This is her huge breakout role. She's been in a 333 00:15:47,654 --> 00:15:49,974 Speaker 6: lot of movies before, like Screaming Once upon a Time 334 00:15:50,014 --> 00:15:52,694 Speaker 6: in Hollywood, but she seems very much a lock to 335 00:15:52,734 --> 00:15:55,334 Speaker 6: win the Best Actress award. But at the same time, 336 00:15:55,374 --> 00:15:57,534 Speaker 6: you've got Demi Moore for the Substance and any other 337 00:15:57,614 --> 00:15:59,614 Speaker 6: year this would be her year to win, but that 338 00:15:59,814 --> 00:16:03,254 Speaker 6: category is just so stacked, and also Amy Adams for 339 00:16:03,334 --> 00:16:06,574 Speaker 6: Night Bitch, and she's been nominated multiple times for an Oscar. 340 00:16:07,014 --> 00:16:09,134 Speaker 6: Everyone thought kind of coming into this year that this 341 00:16:09,134 --> 00:16:11,694 Speaker 6: would be her year, but the category is just too stacked. 342 00:16:11,934 --> 00:16:14,174 Speaker 6: And then you've also got Zendea for Challenges, so a 343 00:16:14,294 --> 00:16:16,134 Speaker 6: very stacked category. It's gonna be very exciting. 344 00:16:16,214 --> 00:16:18,694 Speaker 3: I think Challenges was my movie of twenty twenty four, 345 00:16:18,894 --> 00:16:22,054 Speaker 3: Like it was just so wildly different to anything I've 346 00:16:22,094 --> 00:16:24,534 Speaker 3: seen before and very different to what I expected it 347 00:16:24,574 --> 00:16:27,894 Speaker 3: to be, Like just crazy and Zendaia is amazing at it. 348 00:16:28,334 --> 00:16:30,494 Speaker 6: She is amazing in it, and also just the screenplay 349 00:16:30,494 --> 00:16:33,294 Speaker 6: and the cinematography that for that movie is incredible. But 350 00:16:33,374 --> 00:16:35,534 Speaker 6: that's the thing about the categories this year is that 351 00:16:35,534 --> 00:16:38,134 Speaker 6: they're so stacked. Any other year's challenges would be an 352 00:16:38,174 --> 00:16:40,414 Speaker 6: easy lock for a lot of winds, but it's just 353 00:16:40,454 --> 00:16:42,134 Speaker 6: going to be too neck and neck because there's too 354 00:16:42,134 --> 00:16:45,014 Speaker 6: many big names and too many big performances in the 355 00:16:45,054 --> 00:16:46,174 Speaker 6: category mix this year. 356 00:16:46,374 --> 00:16:49,374 Speaker 3: All right, well, let's talk about what movies are to come. 357 00:16:49,614 --> 00:16:51,414 Speaker 3: What are we expecting to hit the box office in 358 00:16:51,454 --> 00:16:52,214 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. 359 00:16:52,774 --> 00:16:54,974 Speaker 6: So we've got a bit of a big year four horror, 360 00:16:55,054 --> 00:16:57,374 Speaker 6: which is quite exciting. So we've got Leewan Al who 361 00:16:57,414 --> 00:16:59,854 Speaker 6: is a real master in that area. His movie with 362 00:16:59,934 --> 00:17:02,814 Speaker 6: Julia Ghana, Wolfman, which is a reimagining of the classic 363 00:17:02,854 --> 00:17:06,534 Speaker 6: Wolfman Tail, is coming out in cinemas. There's been a 364 00:17:06,534 --> 00:17:09,014 Speaker 6: lot of build up to that. We've also got twenty 365 00:17:09,054 --> 00:17:12,054 Speaker 6: eight years Later, so that's director Danny Boyle returning. So 366 00:17:12,094 --> 00:17:14,854 Speaker 6: obviously twenty eight days Later and twenty eight weeks Later 367 00:17:15,334 --> 00:17:18,454 Speaker 6: have been huge entries into the horror genre over the 368 00:17:18,534 --> 00:17:20,734 Speaker 6: last twenty years. That has been so much built up 369 00:17:20,774 --> 00:17:23,054 Speaker 6: to this movie. On the other side of the fence, 370 00:17:23,174 --> 00:17:25,814 Speaker 6: we also have a few more kind of family musical 371 00:17:26,174 --> 00:17:29,334 Speaker 6: categories there. Wicked Part two is coming out the end 372 00:17:29,374 --> 00:17:32,054 Speaker 6: of the year, which will be very exciting. So they 373 00:17:32,134 --> 00:17:35,334 Speaker 6: cut Wicked Part one where the intermission for the Broadway 374 00:17:35,414 --> 00:17:37,294 Speaker 6: musical is, so this is going to be part two. 375 00:17:37,614 --> 00:17:40,334 Speaker 6: What's interesting about that is though Part one was very 376 00:17:40,414 --> 00:17:42,614 Speaker 6: similar to the stage show with just a few tweaks, 377 00:17:43,014 --> 00:17:45,494 Speaker 6: but the cast and director John m Two have said 378 00:17:45,494 --> 00:17:48,974 Speaker 6: that Part two is where they've made their biggest story changes. 379 00:17:49,014 --> 00:17:50,774 Speaker 6: So I think even people who are big fans of 380 00:17:50,814 --> 00:17:53,894 Speaker 6: Wicked won't know exactly what to expect with part two. 381 00:17:54,454 --> 00:17:56,694 Speaker 6: And also in the musical realm, we have the live 382 00:17:56,814 --> 00:18:00,014 Speaker 6: action Snow White with Rachel Zegler and Gallaghado. There's been 383 00:18:00,094 --> 00:18:02,814 Speaker 6: a lot of kind of I guess, controversy and conversation 384 00:18:02,894 --> 00:18:05,054 Speaker 6: over the last couple of years about how they're changing 385 00:18:05,094 --> 00:18:07,534 Speaker 6: that story and who's cast in it, and we're finally 386 00:18:07,534 --> 00:18:10,094 Speaker 6: going to see the end result, so they'll be kind 387 00:18:10,094 --> 00:18:12,054 Speaker 6: of very much the big movie entries for the year. 388 00:18:12,534 --> 00:18:15,214 Speaker 3: All right, let's shift to the small screen. Do we 389 00:18:15,214 --> 00:18:16,894 Speaker 3: see another Bridgeton series this year? 390 00:18:17,014 --> 00:18:18,774 Speaker 6: No, we won't be getting a new season of Bridgeton 391 00:18:18,814 --> 00:18:21,414 Speaker 6: this year, just because the cast has only been announced 392 00:18:21,454 --> 00:18:23,254 Speaker 6: at the end of twenty twenty four, and we know 393 00:18:23,294 --> 00:18:25,814 Speaker 6: it takes over a year to shoot a production of 394 00:18:25,854 --> 00:18:28,494 Speaker 6: that size and to release it, so we probably won't 395 00:18:28,494 --> 00:18:30,934 Speaker 6: be seeing the new season of Bridgeton until at least 396 00:18:30,934 --> 00:18:34,454 Speaker 6: twenty twenty six. But in TV world in twenty twenty five, 397 00:18:34,534 --> 00:18:36,454 Speaker 6: it's going to be very much about the return of 398 00:18:36,534 --> 00:18:38,334 Speaker 6: a lot of big franchises, or a lot of big 399 00:18:38,334 --> 00:18:41,894 Speaker 6: franchises ending. We have Wednesday season two coming out. So 400 00:18:42,054 --> 00:18:44,534 Speaker 6: season one with General Tagar came out a few years ago. 401 00:18:45,094 --> 00:18:47,334 Speaker 6: It was a huge kind of cultural event and it 402 00:18:47,414 --> 00:18:50,454 Speaker 6: was the number rating show on Netflix for quite a 403 00:18:50,494 --> 00:18:53,134 Speaker 6: few weeks, and there's been quite a long time between 404 00:18:53,134 --> 00:18:55,374 Speaker 6: the first season the second season, but it's finally coming 405 00:18:55,374 --> 00:18:57,774 Speaker 6: in twenty twenty five, and they've got a few big 406 00:18:57,854 --> 00:19:01,014 Speaker 6: names joining the cast, including Lady Gaga and Billy Piper, 407 00:19:01,614 --> 00:19:04,014 Speaker 6: so that'll be exciting for fans of that series. And 408 00:19:04,054 --> 00:19:07,214 Speaker 6: then we also have the final season of Stranger Things, 409 00:19:07,254 --> 00:19:10,134 Speaker 6: which has been one of the biggest Netflix shows of 410 00:19:10,174 --> 00:19:13,054 Speaker 6: all time. There's been a huge gap between it's been 411 00:19:13,094 --> 00:19:15,694 Speaker 6: a couple of years since the last season they left 412 00:19:15,734 --> 00:19:18,254 Speaker 6: us on a cliffhanger. That show is coming to an end. 413 00:19:18,654 --> 00:19:21,454 Speaker 6: And we also have The White Lotus season three coming 414 00:19:21,494 --> 00:19:24,134 Speaker 6: in February of this year and they've announced the full cast, 415 00:19:24,174 --> 00:19:27,974 Speaker 6: so you've got Parker Posey, Patrick Schwartznaggad, Jason Isaacs, so 416 00:19:28,094 --> 00:19:30,974 Speaker 6: many big names there. In terms of new releases, there's 417 00:19:30,974 --> 00:19:33,334 Speaker 6: one documentary that people are very excited about and that 418 00:19:33,454 --> 00:19:35,454 Speaker 6: is called Molly May Behind It All. So if you 419 00:19:35,454 --> 00:19:37,494 Speaker 6: don't know Molly May, she is one of the biggest 420 00:19:37,534 --> 00:19:41,094 Speaker 6: influencers in the world and last year her breakup with 421 00:19:41,374 --> 00:19:45,454 Speaker 6: a fellow reality TV star, Tommy Fury, became worldwide news. 422 00:19:45,494 --> 00:19:47,854 Speaker 6: It was one of those stories that crossed over from 423 00:19:47,934 --> 00:19:51,574 Speaker 6: just celebrity and entertainment news into mainstream news. And she's 424 00:19:51,614 --> 00:19:54,334 Speaker 6: recorded a documentary that is going to kind of tell 425 00:19:54,414 --> 00:19:56,854 Speaker 6: the full story for the first time. And the other 426 00:19:56,934 --> 00:20:00,014 Speaker 6: Australian production that people are very excited about is Apple 427 00:20:00,094 --> 00:20:02,694 Speaker 6: Cider Viningar, which is coming out in the first half 428 00:20:02,734 --> 00:20:05,654 Speaker 6: of twenty twenty five, and that is the fictionalized account 429 00:20:05,694 --> 00:20:08,454 Speaker 6: of Bell Gibson's story. So Bell Gibson was an Australian 430 00:20:08,454 --> 00:20:12,054 Speaker 6: woman who you made a lot of money off selling 431 00:20:12,094 --> 00:20:14,214 Speaker 6: a health app and a health cookbook saying that she 432 00:20:14,294 --> 00:20:17,334 Speaker 6: had used this healthy diet to cure herself from a 433 00:20:17,414 --> 00:20:20,134 Speaker 6: number of illnesses, including cancer, and it all came out 434 00:20:20,134 --> 00:20:23,694 Speaker 6: to be a fraud. And so this fictionalized version Apple 435 00:20:23,734 --> 00:20:26,014 Speaker 6: Cider Vinegar is going to use that as inspiration to 436 00:20:26,054 --> 00:20:26,854 Speaker 6: tell that story. 437 00:20:27,454 --> 00:20:30,374 Speaker 3: To finish, let's get our spiritual on now. We don't 438 00:20:30,374 --> 00:20:32,974 Speaker 3: know what your faith or religious beliefs are, but we 439 00:20:33,014 --> 00:20:35,654 Speaker 3: are tapping into the other worldly skills of David the 440 00:20:35,734 --> 00:20:38,694 Speaker 3: medium today. David, we all want to know. Seeing as 441 00:20:38,734 --> 00:20:41,294 Speaker 3: March twenty eight, the contract date that Taylor Swift and 442 00:20:41,334 --> 00:20:44,294 Speaker 3: Travis Kelcey are supposedly going to be breaking up, is coming, 443 00:20:44,814 --> 00:20:46,814 Speaker 3: will this pair make it through twenty twenty five? 444 00:20:47,814 --> 00:20:48,134 Speaker 5: Ah? 445 00:20:48,694 --> 00:20:51,694 Speaker 1: Their relationship has always been really interesting to me because 446 00:20:51,734 --> 00:20:55,374 Speaker 1: even from the very start, I never necessarily saw longevity 447 00:20:55,454 --> 00:20:59,774 Speaker 1: in it, and they present a really good public image, 448 00:20:59,814 --> 00:21:02,014 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people are excited and 449 00:21:02,054 --> 00:21:04,614 Speaker 1: inspired by their relationship and we love to sort of 450 00:21:04,614 --> 00:21:07,374 Speaker 1: follow along and see what's happening. But I think twenty 451 00:21:07,414 --> 00:21:10,454 Speaker 1: twenty five for them really does represent a really big 452 00:21:10,534 --> 00:21:14,214 Speaker 1: shift again, and honestly, I think it can go either 453 00:21:14,254 --> 00:21:17,374 Speaker 1: way with them, there can be sort of talks and 454 00:21:17,414 --> 00:21:21,054 Speaker 1: continue in sort of chatter about breakups or any sort 455 00:21:21,054 --> 00:21:24,814 Speaker 1: of disengagement, in disconnections in their relationship. But it wouldn't 456 00:21:24,854 --> 00:21:28,574 Speaker 1: even surprise me if there was like an engagement or 457 00:21:28,614 --> 00:21:32,294 Speaker 1: sort of like another step in an evolution within their relationship. 458 00:21:33,134 --> 00:21:35,694 Speaker 1: But again, the energy behind it just doesn't seem connected 459 00:21:35,734 --> 00:21:37,654 Speaker 1: for me. So whether it's all for show or whether 460 00:21:37,694 --> 00:21:39,574 Speaker 1: it's all for a business purpose, I mean, I'm a 461 00:21:39,574 --> 00:21:42,014 Speaker 1: big swifty myself, so I just want to see her happy. 462 00:21:42,374 --> 00:21:44,454 Speaker 1: I would love to see Taylor have a child as well. 463 00:21:44,574 --> 00:21:47,414 Speaker 1: I'm sure she would if that's in her in her 464 00:21:47,454 --> 00:21:50,414 Speaker 1: life plan as well. But yeah, I think twenty twenty 465 00:21:50,414 --> 00:21:55,134 Speaker 1: five for them. It's i sound so contradictory, but it's 466 00:21:55,374 --> 00:21:57,014 Speaker 1: rough mixed with joy. 467 00:21:57,414 --> 00:22:00,254 Speaker 3: Okay, weird, We'll have to see how that pans out. 468 00:22:00,774 --> 00:22:03,334 Speaker 1: Really weird answer, isn't it all right? 469 00:22:03,414 --> 00:22:06,094 Speaker 3: Let's move to a couple who are already married, but 470 00:22:06,214 --> 00:22:09,374 Speaker 3: the divorce rumors are a swirling. What do you feel 471 00:22:09,574 --> 00:22:11,654 Speaker 3: behind Harry and Meghan this coming. 472 00:22:11,454 --> 00:22:14,334 Speaker 1: Year with their relationship? I've predicted everything from the time 473 00:22:14,334 --> 00:22:18,014 Speaker 1: that they were engaged up until now, really and quite Frankly, 474 00:22:18,054 --> 00:22:21,334 Speaker 1: I'm surprised that they didn't really separate officially in twenty 475 00:22:21,374 --> 00:22:23,214 Speaker 1: twenty four. You know, as you've mentioned, there was a 476 00:22:23,214 --> 00:22:27,014 Speaker 1: lot of sort of rumors circulating about their connections, and 477 00:22:27,254 --> 00:22:31,014 Speaker 1: rumors circulating that Harry had left and their relationship is 478 00:22:31,014 --> 00:22:33,854 Speaker 1: a bit disconnected. But I think in twenty twenty five 479 00:22:33,934 --> 00:22:37,094 Speaker 1: we are going to see a continuation of just a 480 00:22:37,134 --> 00:22:39,854 Speaker 1: lot of chatter around them. I mean, for me personally, 481 00:22:39,934 --> 00:22:42,534 Speaker 1: their energy is very separated, but it has been for 482 00:22:42,614 --> 00:22:45,854 Speaker 1: a good eighteen months, two years already, So I think 483 00:22:45,854 --> 00:22:48,614 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five will be a really interesting evolution for them. 484 00:22:49,134 --> 00:22:50,734 Speaker 1: I think we are going to see a lot more 485 00:22:51,134 --> 00:22:54,294 Speaker 1: public chatter and a lot more sort of public show 486 00:22:54,294 --> 00:22:57,854 Speaker 1: of force from them, perhaps, But I don't think twenty 487 00:22:57,854 --> 00:23:00,454 Speaker 1: twenty five is a positive year once again for Harry 488 00:23:00,454 --> 00:23:03,214 Speaker 1: and Meghan in terms of their relationship evolution. 489 00:23:03,934 --> 00:23:06,054 Speaker 3: Okay, twenty twenty five not shaping up for the year 490 00:23:06,094 --> 00:23:07,294 Speaker 3: of love, got it all right? 491 00:23:08,414 --> 00:23:10,374 Speaker 1: Well I'm single as well, you know what I mean, 492 00:23:11,974 --> 00:23:12,534 Speaker 1: what's happening? 493 00:23:13,494 --> 00:23:15,374 Speaker 3: Well, hopefully there's a hope for some of us in 494 00:23:15,414 --> 00:23:19,534 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. Four seat, So let's switch from entertainers 495 00:23:19,614 --> 00:23:23,094 Speaker 3: to politicians. What's your vibe on what the first year 496 00:23:23,134 --> 00:23:25,134 Speaker 3: of Trump back in the White House is looking like? 497 00:23:25,214 --> 00:23:28,494 Speaker 3: Because last time it was such chaos and so many 498 00:23:28,614 --> 00:23:31,414 Speaker 3: things happened. What are we feeling for twenty twenty five 499 00:23:31,454 --> 00:23:32,254 Speaker 3: in the US. 500 00:23:32,494 --> 00:23:34,854 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, it was really interesting because the first Trump 501 00:23:34,894 --> 00:23:37,814 Speaker 1: administration a lot of the sort of the chaos and 502 00:23:37,854 --> 00:23:40,854 Speaker 1: a lot of the disengagement that we saw around it 503 00:23:40,894 --> 00:23:43,854 Speaker 1: was a lot of just disconnection between the media and 504 00:23:43,894 --> 00:23:46,734 Speaker 1: disconnections between the government and just everything that was happening. 505 00:23:46,774 --> 00:23:48,894 Speaker 1: So the message wasn't really been able to put out there. 506 00:23:49,214 --> 00:23:51,774 Speaker 1: What I see for Donald Trump in twenty twenty five, 507 00:23:51,854 --> 00:23:55,334 Speaker 1: and keeping in mind I've predicted his whole rise in 508 00:23:55,374 --> 00:23:58,214 Speaker 1: politics since twenty fifteen, but especially with everything that occurred 509 00:23:58,214 --> 00:24:01,654 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four with assassination attempts. I also read 510 00:24:01,734 --> 00:24:04,254 Speaker 1: to Joe Biden leaving, but I did predict very early 511 00:24:04,334 --> 00:24:08,334 Speaker 1: on the Donald Trump would win again now in twenty 512 00:24:08,374 --> 00:24:13,134 Speaker 1: twenty five. Energy around this is also very similar to 513 00:24:13,174 --> 00:24:17,454 Speaker 1: a worldwide energy, which represents rebirth and revolution, and I 514 00:24:17,534 --> 00:24:20,134 Speaker 1: really do believe that it is going to be sort 515 00:24:20,174 --> 00:24:22,734 Speaker 1: of a rebirth and a coming of sort of a 516 00:24:22,774 --> 00:24:24,974 Speaker 1: golden age for America. I mean, it really is the 517 00:24:25,014 --> 00:24:28,414 Speaker 1: pendulum swinging in the other direction this time around. And 518 00:24:28,654 --> 00:24:30,174 Speaker 1: I do believe that we're going to see sort of 519 00:24:30,174 --> 00:24:33,854 Speaker 1: a new age of transparency and information that's been presented. 520 00:24:34,334 --> 00:24:36,934 Speaker 1: I think for Donald Trump particular in a personal state. 521 00:24:36,974 --> 00:24:40,094 Speaker 1: I mean, he's polling at the moment as the highest 522 00:24:40,094 --> 00:24:42,254 Speaker 1: it's ever been, and he's been, you know, a political 523 00:24:42,294 --> 00:24:45,894 Speaker 1: figure in America really since running in twenty fifteen for 524 00:24:45,934 --> 00:24:48,934 Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen elections, so he's been in the American 525 00:24:49,614 --> 00:24:52,214 Speaker 1: public mind for a good ten years now. It will 526 00:24:52,214 --> 00:24:54,454 Speaker 1: be a rough start on economic issues, but I think 527 00:24:54,454 --> 00:24:58,574 Speaker 1: that they will get quickly resolved and people, especially Americans, 528 00:24:58,574 --> 00:25:00,574 Speaker 1: will come to see sort of how much they've been 529 00:25:01,214 --> 00:25:04,534 Speaker 1: misled all even sometimes light to not necessarily by the 530 00:25:04,574 --> 00:25:08,534 Speaker 1: previous administration, but also for decades on certain topics, and 531 00:25:08,614 --> 00:25:12,374 Speaker 1: in just in terms of transparency from government, but also 532 00:25:12,734 --> 00:25:16,054 Speaker 1: foreign affairs in America and economic issues in America and 533 00:25:16,134 --> 00:25:18,934 Speaker 1: just even Department of Justice, and there's a lot of 534 00:25:18,974 --> 00:25:19,854 Speaker 1: sort of unveiling. 535 00:25:20,054 --> 00:25:20,574 Speaker 4: Essentially. 536 00:25:21,054 --> 00:25:23,494 Speaker 1: One big thing that Donald Trump also needs to be 537 00:25:23,694 --> 00:25:28,574 Speaker 1: mindful of is his quite controversial plan around illegal migrant 538 00:25:28,734 --> 00:25:32,014 Speaker 1: deportations that will get off to a really rough start 539 00:25:32,054 --> 00:25:33,854 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five as well. I do believe that 540 00:25:33,894 --> 00:25:37,334 Speaker 1: the administration will go ahead with its plan to deport 541 00:25:37,654 --> 00:25:40,614 Speaker 1: migrants in America that have entered, especially over the last 542 00:25:40,614 --> 00:25:42,214 Speaker 1: four years. We are going to see a lot of 543 00:25:42,254 --> 00:25:45,174 Speaker 1: sort of sabotage and maybe even some civil conflict around 544 00:25:45,214 --> 00:25:48,574 Speaker 1: that as it really sort of polarizes and separates America 545 00:25:48,614 --> 00:25:52,294 Speaker 1: into two camps. And for Donald Trump personally, I do 546 00:25:52,414 --> 00:25:56,614 Speaker 1: believe that he will go through unfortunate further assassination threats 547 00:25:56,614 --> 00:26:00,494 Speaker 1: to his life, not only him directly, but also other 548 00:26:00,614 --> 00:26:04,134 Speaker 1: members of the administration and also private members of Donald 549 00:26:04,174 --> 00:26:07,934 Speaker 1: Trump's circle, which includes his family. And in twenty twenty 550 00:26:07,934 --> 00:26:10,014 Speaker 1: four I did predict that there would be too asassination 551 00:26:10,094 --> 00:26:13,174 Speaker 1: attempts against Donald Trump that did unfortunately come to fruition 552 00:26:13,294 --> 00:26:13,694 Speaker 1: as well. 553 00:26:13,974 --> 00:26:16,654 Speaker 3: Are you seeing that kind of political chaos happening for 554 00:26:16,734 --> 00:26:18,294 Speaker 3: us here in Australia because there will be a federal 555 00:26:18,334 --> 00:26:20,894 Speaker 3: election this year. So what are we looking like for us? 556 00:26:20,934 --> 00:26:23,894 Speaker 3: Is that revolution and change coming to Australia? 557 00:26:24,654 --> 00:26:24,974 Speaker 4: Yeah? 558 00:26:25,014 --> 00:26:28,174 Speaker 1: Well, the very interesting thing is America is always the 559 00:26:28,254 --> 00:26:31,054 Speaker 1: ground zero, or what I call the spiritual empire for 560 00:26:31,094 --> 00:26:33,854 Speaker 1: any sort of energy that reverberates around the world. So 561 00:26:33,934 --> 00:26:38,454 Speaker 1: because we're seeing these themes and energies presenting in the 562 00:26:38,534 --> 00:26:43,014 Speaker 1: United States, it will inevitably reverberate to Australia. So I 563 00:26:43,134 --> 00:26:46,814 Speaker 1: made the prediction quite late in twenty twenty four that 564 00:26:47,014 --> 00:26:49,934 Speaker 1: once the federal election occurs, which is likely to occur 565 00:26:50,094 --> 00:26:54,134 Speaker 1: any time between March and May in Australia, that we 566 00:26:54,214 --> 00:26:57,214 Speaker 1: do have a very strong likelihood that there would be 567 00:26:57,294 --> 00:27:00,534 Speaker 1: a change of government within Australia as well, given that 568 00:27:00,574 --> 00:27:03,734 Speaker 1: the pendulum is swinging the other way. So I'm making 569 00:27:03,814 --> 00:27:07,614 Speaker 1: the prediction that I don't believe that Anthony Alberizi will 570 00:27:07,694 --> 00:27:11,134 Speaker 1: have a majority government. At the very least, there might 571 00:27:11,214 --> 00:27:15,294 Speaker 1: be a sort of a hung parliament situation, likely to 572 00:27:15,334 --> 00:27:17,894 Speaker 1: be with some of the till members of Parliament and 573 00:27:17,934 --> 00:27:20,294 Speaker 1: the Greens. But I think there's also a very strong 574 00:27:20,454 --> 00:27:23,694 Speaker 1: likelihood that Peter Dunnan could also form a majority of 575 00:27:23,734 --> 00:27:24,814 Speaker 1: government with the Liberal Party. 576 00:27:25,214 --> 00:27:27,854 Speaker 3: Anything else that you feel coming for us in twenty 577 00:27:27,894 --> 00:27:30,254 Speaker 3: twenty five, David, is this the year that the AI 578 00:27:30,414 --> 00:27:34,454 Speaker 3: robots take over the world, or you know, will the 579 00:27:34,534 --> 00:27:37,694 Speaker 3: seas rise? Will we all survive? Like, what's what's the 580 00:27:37,734 --> 00:27:39,014 Speaker 3: feel on twenty twenty five? 581 00:27:40,014 --> 00:27:42,694 Speaker 1: Well, given that it is the age of sort of 582 00:27:42,774 --> 00:27:44,214 Speaker 1: revolution and rebirth. 583 00:27:44,374 --> 00:27:44,574 Speaker 4: You know. 584 00:27:44,574 --> 00:27:46,974 Speaker 1: The biggest thing there will be sort of new ways 585 00:27:47,014 --> 00:27:51,574 Speaker 1: of thinking, and you know, AI especially. I mean we've 586 00:27:51,614 --> 00:27:53,814 Speaker 1: all seen the rise throughout twenty twenty four and really 587 00:27:53,854 --> 00:27:56,574 Speaker 1: how quickly it rose up as well. I mean before 588 00:27:56,614 --> 00:27:58,774 Speaker 1: you knew it, Elon Musk and Tesla were released in 589 00:27:58,814 --> 00:28:01,094 Speaker 1: these AI robots, which I still think was the craziest 590 00:28:01,094 --> 00:28:03,454 Speaker 1: thing I saw in twenty twenty four. But I think 591 00:28:03,494 --> 00:28:05,214 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five again we're going to see a 592 00:28:05,254 --> 00:28:09,774 Speaker 1: real drastic evolution in not only the use of AI, 593 00:28:10,094 --> 00:28:14,334 Speaker 1: but especially themes that were always so sort of magical 594 00:28:14,374 --> 00:28:17,574 Speaker 1: to us, like I think space exploration and a lot 595 00:28:17,574 --> 00:28:20,974 Speaker 1: of themes around the universe in that sort of sense 596 00:28:21,054 --> 00:28:23,654 Speaker 1: is going to become very mainstream and very public, especially 597 00:28:23,694 --> 00:28:25,494 Speaker 1: with a lot of the work that Elon Musk is 598 00:28:25,494 --> 00:28:28,254 Speaker 1: doing with SpaceX in the United States. It is a 599 00:28:28,294 --> 00:28:30,654 Speaker 1: bit of a continuing theme that I noticed as well, 600 00:28:30,854 --> 00:28:33,214 Speaker 1: especially when it comes to AI, that it's going to 601 00:28:33,254 --> 00:28:36,374 Speaker 1: be very hard to differential between what is real and 602 00:28:36,414 --> 00:28:39,374 Speaker 1: what's not. And that's going to be especially true in 603 00:28:39,414 --> 00:28:44,374 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five with maybe deep fake videos or you know, 604 00:28:44,494 --> 00:28:48,534 Speaker 1: pitches and just it will be a very mixy sort 605 00:28:48,534 --> 00:28:51,334 Speaker 1: of environment to try and work out what's real. 606 00:28:51,174 --> 00:28:51,574 Speaker 5: And what's not. 607 00:28:54,534 --> 00:28:56,494 Speaker 3: If you have any other predictions for how you think 608 00:28:56,534 --> 00:28:58,334 Speaker 3: the next year is going to shape up, let us 609 00:28:58,374 --> 00:29:00,774 Speaker 3: know about it.
