<v Speaker 2>we talk about, all the big issues like what John's

0:00:45.513 --> 0:00:49.233
<v Speaker 2>death really means, the behind the scenes of those absolutely

0:00:49.314 --> 0:00:51.793
<v Speaker 2>epic sex scenes that I have not recovered from, and

0:00:51.873 --> 0:00:54.114
<v Speaker 2>the most important question they left us with at the end,

0:00:54.834 --> 0:00:58.154
<v Speaker 2>just who is Whistledown two point zero enjoy?

0:00:58.994 --> 0:01:01.714
<v Speaker 3>So at the end of episode eight, show hands us

0:01:01.714 --> 0:01:03.594
<v Speaker 3>a gift. There is a new whistle Doown.

0:01:03.834 --> 0:01:05.234
<v Speaker 1>I just want to float my own boat that I

0:01:05.274 --> 0:01:06.394
<v Speaker 1>did say that they should do this.

0:01:07.714 --> 0:01:08.914
<v Speaker 3>They heard this podcast.

0:01:08.994 --> 0:01:11.794
<v Speaker 1>I said, let's take a page out of Gossip Girl's

0:01:11.794 --> 0:01:14.794
<v Speaker 1>book and let's spin things around a little bit. And

0:01:14.834 --> 0:01:16.074
<v Speaker 1>that's what they've done. Well.

0:01:16.154 --> 0:01:18.434
<v Speaker 2>Jess Brownell admitted that they've gone rogue here. This never

0:01:18.474 --> 0:01:20.914
<v Speaker 2>happened in the books. And remember in the books, Colin's

0:01:20.954 --> 0:01:24.274
<v Speaker 2>book is after Benedict's. So reading this book and offer

0:01:24.314 --> 0:01:26.474
<v Speaker 2>from a gentleman. We don't know who Lady Whistledowan is.

0:01:26.914 --> 0:01:29.274
<v Speaker 2>But look, we have discussed the role of gossip in

0:01:29.354 --> 0:01:31.954
<v Speaker 2>this podcast previously and the most important part is that

0:01:32.034 --> 0:01:33.994
<v Speaker 2>it was real. These scandal sheets were real. The most

0:01:33.994 --> 0:01:37.314
<v Speaker 2>famous was the Teta tet column in Town and Country magazine,

0:01:37.354 --> 0:01:39.434
<v Speaker 2>which we would all be subscribers to if we lived

0:01:39.434 --> 0:01:39.834
<v Speaker 2>in this time.

0:01:39.994 --> 0:01:40.674
<v Speaker 1>Is that even mean?

0:01:40.794 --> 0:01:41.194
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:01:41.274 --> 0:01:45.394
<v Speaker 2>Head to head? Ah. So history tells us all about

0:01:45.434 --> 0:01:48.434
<v Speaker 2>women like Elizabeth Johnson, who edited the Sunday Monitor, and

0:01:48.474 --> 0:01:52.074
<v Speaker 2>Elizabeth Archbald, who wrote gossip for the World Newspaper. It's

0:01:52.114 --> 0:01:54.714
<v Speaker 2>an era where women couldn't vote, they couldn't own property,

0:01:55.034 --> 0:01:57.314
<v Speaker 2>but they could be the most powerful person in society

0:01:57.314 --> 0:02:00.754
<v Speaker 2>by writing these gossip sheets. But they didn't name names

0:02:00.914 --> 0:02:02.114
<v Speaker 2>like our mate Penelope.

0:02:02.274 --> 0:02:05.434
<v Speaker 3>So I was curious after we realized that it was Penelope,

0:02:05.474 --> 0:02:07.794
<v Speaker 3>why she wasn't doing the voiceover and why they kept

0:02:07.834 --> 0:02:11.353
<v Speaker 3>it as Julie Andrews. So in the end episode, I

0:02:11.394 --> 0:02:13.833
<v Speaker 3>don't know if you guys noticed this that Julia Andrews

0:02:13.913 --> 0:02:18.394
<v Speaker 3>does deliver the latest whistle down slightly different like o

0:02:18.514 --> 0:02:21.074
<v Speaker 3>Cadence the syntax of how she's speaking to do you guys notice?

0:02:21.274 --> 0:02:24.434
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and everyone online has also noticed, and that kind

0:02:24.434 --> 0:02:27.074
<v Speaker 1>of weaves into the theories about who it could be.

0:02:27.194 --> 0:02:30.394
<v Speaker 1>Particularly the biggest evidence is that they think it is

0:02:30.434 --> 0:02:33.674
<v Speaker 1>a man. They thought that the language was stronger, harsher,

0:02:33.834 --> 0:02:36.754
<v Speaker 1>and that is how a man speak less whimsy. See.

0:02:36.754 --> 0:02:38.793
<v Speaker 2>I read a lot of comments in this reddit deep

0:02:38.834 --> 0:02:41.474
<v Speaker 2>dive I did where they think that the voice sort

0:02:41.514 --> 0:02:44.914
<v Speaker 2>of morphed into the voice of Valley, the Featherington's ex

0:02:44.994 --> 0:02:48.314
<v Speaker 2>housekeeper and now the pen housekeeper. Now Julie Andrews is

0:02:48.314 --> 0:02:50.954
<v Speaker 2>still narrating it, and that is still Julie Andrews's voice.

0:02:51.074 --> 0:02:52.514
<v Speaker 2>And if you're a fan of hers like I am,

0:02:52.554 --> 0:02:54.194
<v Speaker 2>you know that one of her most famous roles was

0:02:54.194 --> 0:02:57.514
<v Speaker 2>Eliza Doolittle. The woman can do Cockney lower class accent.

0:02:57.594 --> 0:03:01.354
<v Speaker 2>So that's still Julie Andrews doing the vo like a pro. Now,

0:03:01.434 --> 0:03:04.274
<v Speaker 2>Jess BROWNO in the past has hinted at looking at

0:03:04.274 --> 0:03:06.913
<v Speaker 2>the people who keep these homes magnificent, which made people

0:03:06.954 --> 0:03:09.514
<v Speaker 2>think it was Vali. She's the ultimate gossip right, She

0:03:09.514 --> 0:03:12.554
<v Speaker 2>knows all the Featherington's secrets. She's a master of forgery.

0:03:12.634 --> 0:03:14.994
<v Speaker 2>We saw that in season two with the estate papers.

0:03:15.274 --> 0:03:17.954
<v Speaker 2>But I would say Vali's absolutely not an option. I

0:03:17.994 --> 0:03:19.314
<v Speaker 2>have a lot better theories.

0:03:19.474 --> 0:03:21.594
<v Speaker 3>Say Okay, let's dive into this because this is the

0:03:21.594 --> 0:03:24.594
<v Speaker 3>thing we're the most excited about to discuss live. I'm

0:03:24.594 --> 0:03:26.194
<v Speaker 3>going to hand it over to you to tell us

0:03:26.234 --> 0:03:27.394
<v Speaker 3>what everyone is saying.

0:03:27.514 --> 0:03:30.314
<v Speaker 1>Yes, okay, So I've done a lot of investigation on TikTok.

0:03:30.354 --> 0:03:33.234
<v Speaker 1>TikTok comments are the best place on earth, and I

0:03:33.234 --> 0:03:45.634
<v Speaker 1>would like to read you I have three Mamma Mia

0:03:45.714 --> 0:03:48.754
<v Speaker 1>acknowledges the traditional owners of the land. We have recorded

0:03:48.754 --> 0:03:51.794
<v Speaker 1>this podcast on the Gadigal people of the Oronation.

0:03:52.434 --> 0:03:55.034
<v Speaker 2>We pay our respects to their elders past and present,

0:03:55.314 --> 0:03:57.954
<v Speaker 2>and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait

0:03:58.034 --> 0:03:58.874
<v Speaker 2>islander cultures.
