Hello, Hello, Hi, Now 21 00:01:09,895 --> 00:01:12,975 Speaker 1: you're here today because we're talking about our brand new 22 00:01:12,975 --> 00:01:14,975 Speaker 1: show on the network, which is called Unleashed. But you 23 00:01:14,975 --> 00:01:17,015 Speaker 1: want to make it very clear, and it's very obviously 24 00:01:17,015 --> 00:01:19,655 Speaker 1: if you're watching this on our social media that you 25 00:01:19,735 --> 00:01:23,615 Speaker 1: are not hosting this show because your hat. 26 00:01:23,455 --> 00:01:26,575 Speaker 3: Says producer, It says producer. 27 00:01:26,815 --> 00:01:28,255 Speaker 2: It took a minute to get there. They're like, you 28 00:01:28,295 --> 00:01:30,415 Speaker 2: fired yourself from the show. I really did so. 29 00:01:30,895 --> 00:01:32,815 Speaker 3: I did so. I was originally going to be on 30 00:01:32,855 --> 00:01:35,375 Speaker 3: the show, and they're just for the first few episodes 31 00:01:35,375 --> 00:01:38,415 Speaker 3: to settle everyone in, and then I went, you know what, 32 00:01:38,455 --> 00:01:40,615 Speaker 3: they don't need me. It's my producer era. 33 00:01:40,855 --> 00:01:44,455 Speaker 1: So you are embracing this, not just hat wires, but 34 00:01:44,575 --> 00:01:46,775 Speaker 1: you are coming on here today to tell us a 35 00:01:46,815 --> 00:01:49,415 Speaker 1: little bit about the show itself, who is involved, and 36 00:01:49,935 --> 00:01:52,295 Speaker 1: what it means, because from what I've been told, Unleashed 37 00:01:52,775 --> 00:01:54,735 Speaker 1: is for gen X women who want a bit of 38 00:01:54,735 --> 00:01:55,095 Speaker 1: a laugh. 39 00:01:55,455 --> 00:01:59,015 Speaker 3: Yeah, so you're really going to not like to hear this, 40 00:01:59,135 --> 00:02:01,815 Speaker 3: either of you. But there is a big push away 41 00:02:01,855 --> 00:02:05,775 Speaker 3: from the news, which thanks and really time for not 42 00:02:05,975 --> 00:02:09,334 Speaker 3: exactly clearly not now. I thought i'd announced that the 43 00:02:09,415 --> 00:02:13,895 Speaker 3: Quiki is ending. No, not on this show, obviously, but 44 00:02:14,495 --> 00:02:18,335 Speaker 3: there is a general fatigue with the news cycle being 45 00:02:18,615 --> 00:02:22,735 Speaker 3: pretty grim, and I think that the last few years, 46 00:02:22,775 --> 00:02:25,375 Speaker 3: well of last ten plus years, and the fact that 47 00:02:25,455 --> 00:02:28,895 Speaker 3: news is coming at us all day every day has 48 00:02:29,015 --> 00:02:31,575 Speaker 3: started to take a toll. So people it's not that 49 00:02:31,615 --> 00:02:33,734 Speaker 3: they don't want to know what's going on, and they do, 50 00:02:34,095 --> 00:02:36,375 Speaker 3: so they'll come and listen to the Quickie, but then 51 00:02:36,415 --> 00:02:39,375 Speaker 3: they want to rest until tomorrow's news, like back in 52 00:02:39,415 --> 00:02:41,375 Speaker 3: the olden days when you used to read a newspaper 53 00:02:41,455 --> 00:02:43,775 Speaker 3: or watch the news on the TV, but now with 54 00:02:43,855 --> 00:02:45,615 Speaker 3: the idea that news is hitting you all day, every 55 00:02:45,695 --> 00:02:47,335 Speaker 3: day and it can be a little bit grim. So 56 00:02:48,055 --> 00:02:50,095 Speaker 3: we cover you know, We've got other shows on the 57 00:02:50,095 --> 00:02:52,375 Speaker 3: network that cover all sorts of things. We talked to 58 00:02:52,415 --> 00:02:56,454 Speaker 3: all sorts of generations and where I thought I could 59 00:02:56,495 --> 00:03:00,095 Speaker 3: identify space as a woman in this demographic. I'm fifty four, 60 00:03:00,135 --> 00:03:05,295 Speaker 3: I'm gen X was a show that didn't teach you anything, 61 00:03:06,095 --> 00:03:11,535 Speaker 3: didn't make you feel particularly informed or alarmed, but was 62 00:03:11,655 --> 00:03:13,375 Speaker 3: just a bit of an escape and a distraction. 63 00:03:13,655 --> 00:03:15,135 Speaker 1: Is the Seinfeld of podcasts. 64 00:03:15,495 --> 00:03:16,935 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, maybe. 65 00:03:16,815 --> 00:03:17,655 Speaker 1: What's the show about? 66 00:03:18,015 --> 00:03:22,055 Speaker 3: It's about nothing. I'm not a huge Siginfeld fan, but 67 00:03:22,135 --> 00:03:25,815 Speaker 3: it's just it's a distraction. I just keep saying distraction 68 00:03:26,255 --> 00:03:28,855 Speaker 3: because you know, I'm on another show that has a 69 00:03:28,855 --> 00:03:31,135 Speaker 3: lot of gen X listeners, that's multi generational. Mum and 70 00:03:31,175 --> 00:03:33,855 Speaker 3: me are out loud, and that's where you really stay 71 00:03:33,855 --> 00:03:36,735 Speaker 3: across everything from pop culture a little bit of news 72 00:03:36,775 --> 00:03:39,535 Speaker 3: and other things. And it was important that this show 73 00:03:39,615 --> 00:03:42,495 Speaker 3: was very different because out Loud is climbing the charts 74 00:03:42,575 --> 00:03:45,575 Speaker 3: might even be number one pretty soon. Don't want to 75 00:03:45,615 --> 00:03:48,495 Speaker 3: go against that, but I thought there was some space 76 00:03:48,535 --> 00:03:51,095 Speaker 3: to carve out because the other thing, apart from just 77 00:03:51,175 --> 00:03:53,975 Speaker 3: wanting some laughs, is that there's something about being with 78 00:03:54,015 --> 00:03:57,015 Speaker 3: women your own age that you discover as you get older. 79 00:03:57,495 --> 00:04:01,335 Speaker 3: The other gap that I really identified was that it's 80 00:04:01,455 --> 00:04:04,495 Speaker 3: lovely to have somewhere where you just with people your 81 00:04:04,535 --> 00:04:07,695 Speaker 3: own age, because as you get older, whether you have 82 00:04:07,815 --> 00:04:10,855 Speaker 3: kids or not, and I've got adult kids and teenage kids, 83 00:04:11,215 --> 00:04:16,135 Speaker 3: you are mocked relentlessly by younger generations. And also you're 84 00:04:16,175 --> 00:04:19,935 Speaker 3: always making references to things that they don't understand, you know, 85 00:04:20,175 --> 00:04:22,335 Speaker 3: like I don't know Princess Diana. 86 00:04:22,775 --> 00:04:25,735 Speaker 1: We literally made a Royal HG comment out of the 87 00:04:25,855 --> 00:04:27,735 Speaker 1: office today, which was met with some blank stairs. 88 00:04:27,975 --> 00:04:29,895 Speaker 3: So what I started to do, what I did and 89 00:04:29,935 --> 00:04:32,214 Speaker 3: what I love to do in my creator mode, is 90 00:04:32,255 --> 00:04:35,495 Speaker 3: I started printing out pictures and sticking them on walls 91 00:04:35,535 --> 00:04:37,854 Speaker 3: with blue tack. I've got a little wall outside my office, 92 00:04:38,095 --> 00:04:40,735 Speaker 3: and I started putting up all these cultural icons of 93 00:04:40,775 --> 00:04:43,414 Speaker 3: genics so it's like Dolly magazine covers and pictures of 94 00:04:43,455 --> 00:04:46,855 Speaker 3: Tom and Nicole and Diana and Banana Rama. And it's 95 00:04:46,895 --> 00:04:48,935 Speaker 3: really funny because there's so many young people in the office. 96 00:04:48,935 --> 00:04:50,935 Speaker 3: I'm pretty much the oldest, and people will walk past 97 00:04:50,975 --> 00:04:52,895 Speaker 3: and going, I don't know who any of those people are. 98 00:04:53,775 --> 00:04:57,055 Speaker 3: There's something just really lovely about being with your tribe 99 00:04:57,055 --> 00:04:59,135 Speaker 3: of people where you don't have to apologize that your 100 00:04:59,175 --> 00:05:01,055 Speaker 3: socks are the wrong length because you're always giving us 101 00:05:01,055 --> 00:05:03,015 Speaker 3: shit about our songs. You don't have to explain anything, 102 00:05:03,055 --> 00:05:05,214 Speaker 3: you don't have to explain the jeans that you're wearing. 103 00:05:05,495 --> 00:05:08,055 Speaker 3: You don't have to feel like you're doing everything wrong. 104 00:05:08,655 --> 00:05:10,895 Speaker 3: And look, that's the job of younger generations to make 105 00:05:10,935 --> 00:05:14,575 Speaker 3: older generations feel dumb, and we do the same to boomers. 106 00:05:14,615 --> 00:05:17,415 Speaker 3: We're always rolling our eyes at boomers, and no doubt 107 00:05:17,455 --> 00:05:19,935 Speaker 3: that shits them. But I just wanted to create this 108 00:05:20,055 --> 00:05:22,815 Speaker 3: kind of space where you could wear whatever socks you 109 00:05:22,855 --> 00:05:24,295 Speaker 3: want not get mocked for them. 110 00:05:24,455 --> 00:05:25,335 Speaker 2: Is that the tagline? 111 00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:29,615 Speaker 3: Yes gus for gen X women who want to laugh. 112 00:05:29,775 --> 00:05:30,974 Speaker 3: Do you know who's on the show? 113 00:05:31,095 --> 00:05:33,255 Speaker 1: I mean, yes, yeah, probably said that. 114 00:05:33,335 --> 00:05:35,055 Speaker 2: So the first thing I did this is bad of 115 00:05:35,135 --> 00:05:37,055 Speaker 2: us to all be producers and not have picked up 116 00:05:37,095 --> 00:05:37,255 Speaker 2: on that. 117 00:05:37,495 --> 00:05:39,455 Speaker 3: It's so funny because when I was doing a couple 118 00:05:39,455 --> 00:05:42,015 Speaker 3: of the pilots on the show, I'm used to being 119 00:05:42,055 --> 00:05:44,855 Speaker 3: dominant as well, not on out Loud. I know podcasting 120 00:05:44,895 --> 00:05:47,495 Speaker 3: obviously pretty well, and all the people that I gathered 121 00:05:47,535 --> 00:05:50,135 Speaker 3: and we were doing pilots with, most of them were 122 00:05:50,215 --> 00:05:53,775 Speaker 3: new to podcasting. The women that we've got are a 123 00:05:53,815 --> 00:05:55,935 Speaker 3: lot of names you will have heard of. Mary Custas 124 00:05:56,415 --> 00:06:00,935 Speaker 3: Fie Amazing Sally Hepworth, best selling author, Bruna pap Andrea, 125 00:06:01,255 --> 00:06:06,335 Speaker 3: iconic producer, Big Little Lies, Nine Perfect Strangers, Grace Lamb stylist, 126 00:06:06,655 --> 00:06:11,615 Speaker 3: former editor of Folk China, doctor Ginny Mansburg, absolute menopause guru. 127 00:06:11,815 --> 00:06:14,575 Speaker 3: Even though this show isn't about menopause, the people on 128 00:06:14,695 --> 00:06:17,575 Speaker 3: the show have all been through it, are going through it, 129 00:06:17,935 --> 00:06:22,135 Speaker 3: and Catherine Mahoney, who is a fantastic comedian host, choose 130 00:06:22,175 --> 00:06:24,615 Speaker 3: to be a celebrity publicist. Most of them didn't know 131 00:06:24,735 --> 00:06:27,095 Speaker 3: each other before we brought them together, so it was 132 00:06:27,135 --> 00:06:29,895 Speaker 3: a little bit of a gamble, and I started a 133 00:06:29,895 --> 00:06:32,455 Speaker 3: WhatsApp group so that we could communicate logistics with them. 134 00:06:32,455 --> 00:06:35,015 Speaker 3: But they've actually gone off and turned into an actual 135 00:06:35,455 --> 00:06:39,054 Speaker 3: friendship group. It is highly inappropriate, not safe for work, 136 00:06:39,135 --> 00:06:41,775 Speaker 3: that WhatsApp group. But yeah, the chemistry is great. 137 00:06:42,095 --> 00:06:44,455 Speaker 1: We're just in a new sense. Don't add any journalists 138 00:06:44,535 --> 00:06:47,654 Speaker 1: to that group chat oh knowingly? Yeah, and then watch that. 139 00:06:49,615 --> 00:06:50,935 Speaker 2: Don't add the Atlantic editor. 140 00:06:50,975 --> 00:06:52,575 Speaker 1: Don't add the editor of the Atlantic. 141 00:06:52,655 --> 00:06:56,095 Speaker 3: Yeah, really that would be a very much of own goal. 142 00:06:56,295 --> 00:06:58,895 Speaker 1: Okay, so you are here representing gen X today, Yes, 143 00:06:58,935 --> 00:07:02,455 Speaker 1: saman Taylor Stano, you are family in millennial territory. 144 00:07:02,695 --> 00:07:05,655 Speaker 2: Well, firmly is probably the wrong word.

So a 177 00:08:17,695 --> 00:08:19,735 Speaker 3: lot of them are dog toys. I have to say. 178 00:08:19,775 --> 00:08:22,735 Speaker 3: The two that we've got today dog toys. Mine is 179 00:08:22,895 --> 00:08:25,375 Speaker 3: in the shape of a dinosaur. Yours is in the 180 00:08:25,415 --> 00:08:27,255 Speaker 3: shape of a duck. 181 00:08:27,335 --> 00:08:28,175 Speaker 2: We want to say duck. 182 00:08:28,575 --> 00:08:30,695 Speaker 3: This is how inappropriately I think. 183 00:08:30,575 --> 00:08:32,655 Speaker 1: So, I'd say they look quite a lot like other 184 00:08:32,694 --> 00:08:34,735 Speaker 1: things I might live in people's bedside draws. 185 00:08:35,054 --> 00:08:37,094 Speaker 3: ME say that because back to the inappropriate nature of 186 00:08:37,095 --> 00:08:39,335 Speaker 3: the group chat, they all suggested that they bring in 187 00:08:39,415 --> 00:08:41,415 Speaker 3: various sex toys that they have at home, but I 188 00:08:41,415 --> 00:08:44,854 Speaker 3: felt that would be unhygienic and a workplace hazards. So 189 00:08:44,895 --> 00:08:48,055 Speaker 3: these are the talking sticks. 190 00:08:48,135 --> 00:08:50,295 Speaker 1: Okay, amazing, aren't we prepared? 191 00:08:50,375 --> 00:08:50,535 Speaker 3: Yeah? 192 00:08:50,615 --> 00:08:57,375 Speaker 1: Yeah, or today's generational showdown? Your first question? In recent 193 00:08:57,455 --> 00:09:01,415 Speaker 1: polling for the Financial Review, which cohort of Australians did 194 00:09:01,415 --> 00:09:04,295 Speaker 1: they find and now more likely to vote for Pauline 195 00:09:04,335 --> 00:09:08,415 Speaker 1: Hanson and One Nation? Well, Taylor Strano, I know. 196 00:09:08,415 --> 00:09:10,455 Speaker 2: This only because we are so in the weeds of 197 00:09:10,455 --> 00:09:14,895 Speaker 2: politics at the moment. Okay, is gen x but specifically 198 00:09:15,135 --> 00:09:15,855 Speaker 2: gen x men? 199 00:09:16,095 --> 00:09:20,175 Speaker 1: Gen X boys? Yes. The Redbridge Accent Research poll for 200 00:09:20,175 --> 00:09:22,295 Speaker 1: the finn Review found if you are male, aged over 201 00:09:22,335 --> 00:09:24,735 Speaker 1: fifty and feel a little way down by the cost 202 00:09:24,775 --> 00:09:26,895 Speaker 1: of living, there's a one in four chance you would 203 00:09:26,975 --> 00:09:30,055 Speaker 1: vote for One Nation if an election was held. Now 204 00:09:30,535 --> 00:09:32,935 Speaker 1: lower for male baby boomer is it twenty two percent? 205 00:09:33,215 --> 00:09:34,175 Speaker 1: Oh wow? 206 00:09:34,215 --> 00:09:36,175 Speaker 2: What is it that happens in that weird little gap 207 00:09:36,255 --> 00:09:38,135 Speaker 2: of time between being a gen X man and a 208 00:09:38,175 --> 00:09:41,535 Speaker 2: baby boomer man where you go, actually am off, paul enhansed, now, like, 209 00:09:41,575 --> 00:09:42,375 Speaker 2: where are they turning? 210 00:09:42,455 --> 00:09:45,415 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's interesting, but it's a funny thing 211 00:09:45,455 --> 00:09:47,495 Speaker 1: because there's this idea that as you age, you become 212 00:09:47,535 --> 00:09:51,015 Speaker 1: more conservative, and that's not happening as much as it 213 00:09:51,135 --> 00:09:54,815 Speaker 1: used to, so I presume that women in the same 214 00:09:54,815 --> 00:09:57,695 Speaker 1: cohort gen x women are not going in the same direction. 215 00:09:57,895 --> 00:10:01,295 Speaker 3: I actually think that's so interesting. Most of the studies 216 00:10:01,335 --> 00:10:05,415 Speaker 3: show that people get happier as they get older, particularly women, 217 00:10:05,615 --> 00:10:09,694 Speaker 3: and I think that maybe Pauline Hanson is often a 218 00:10:09,695 --> 00:10:13,975 Speaker 3: party that attracts people who feel disgruntled, and I wonder 219 00:10:14,054 --> 00:10:17,175 Speaker 3: if the most disgruntled time in your life for men 220 00:10:17,255 --> 00:10:19,815 Speaker 3: is that for women it's also a little bit bad. 221 00:10:19,855 --> 00:10:22,495 Speaker 3: That's why we're often dismissed as Karen's because it's like 222 00:10:22,535 --> 00:10:24,255 Speaker 3: we're always wanting to speak to the manager. But that's 223 00:10:24,255 --> 00:10:25,335 Speaker 3: because we've got some good. 224 00:10:25,175 --> 00:10:28,135 Speaker 1: Feedback through that. And men are also adjusting to a 225 00:10:28,175 --> 00:10:30,574 Speaker 1: world where they're told it's not for them. It's not 226 00:10:30,655 --> 00:10:32,855 Speaker 1: for them anymore, and they're struggling to find their place, 227 00:10:32,895 --> 00:10:34,015 Speaker 1: which is understandable. 228 00:10:34,054 --> 00:10:35,135 Speaker 2: We're pulling Hanson, don't know. 229 00:10:35,335 --> 00:10:38,655 Speaker 1: That is one for the millennials. Question two, According to 230 00:10:38,735 --> 00:10:41,975 Speaker 1: data from KPMG, gen X now hold the most what 231 00:10:42,335 --> 00:10:46,495 Speaker 1: and what compared to every other generation. There are two things. 232 00:10:46,815 --> 00:10:49,655 Speaker 1: This is hard, it gets easier. These are the two 233 00:10:49,655 --> 00:10:50,415 Speaker 1: hardest questions. 234 00:10:50,415 --> 00:10:52,255 Speaker 3: I thought it was going to be about pop culture. 235 00:10:53,095 --> 00:10:56,175 Speaker 1: Say culture club, this is a news program mea friedman. 236 00:10:56,295 --> 00:11:00,495 Speaker 2: Ah, oh, I know one of the things, all right. 237 00:11:01,335 --> 00:11:04,015 Speaker 1: Money of a half point Oh, yeah, you're in the 238 00:11:04,054 --> 00:11:04,694 Speaker 1: right territory. 239 00:11:05,535 --> 00:11:06,535 Speaker 2: At the point that I was. 240 00:11:06,535 --> 00:11:08,535 Speaker 3: Going to say inheritance, yeah, I was going to say, 241 00:11:08,535 --> 00:11:09,454 Speaker 3: like housing, it. 242 00:11:09,455 --> 00:11:13,735 Speaker 1: Is properly is property in wealth and shares. So with 243 00:11:13,815 --> 00:11:16,295 Speaker 1: an average of one point four four five million dollars, 244 00:11:16,375 --> 00:11:18,855 Speaker 1: Boomers in second place at one point three million for property, 245 00:11:19,054 --> 00:11:22,215 Speaker 1: still wealthier than everyone else because they've downsized and cashed 246 00:11:22,255 --> 00:11:24,135 Speaker 1: in shares. They have more liquid assets than the rest 247 00:11:24,175 --> 00:11:27,535 Speaker 1: of us. So yeah, only eight hundred and ninety k 248 00:11:27,735 --> 00:11:29,775 Speaker 1: in property.

Do you know 253 00:11:38,975 --> 00:11:41,935 Speaker 3: that what any of those words mean, because the answer 254 00:11:42,015 --> 00:11:44,575 Speaker 3: is not I feel like I'm a dog blah blah 255 00:11:44,575 --> 00:11:45,934 Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah blah. 256 00:11:46,295 --> 00:11:47,775 Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the dinner. 257 00:11:47,815 --> 00:11:50,735 Speaker 3: The interesting thing I've learned because I think also what 258 00:11:50,775 --> 00:11:53,255 Speaker 3: people underestimate is the financial power of gen X women, 259 00:11:53,615 --> 00:11:56,015 Speaker 3: and there's about to be the biggest wealth transfer we've 260 00:11:56,015 --> 00:12:00,255 Speaker 3: ever seen, generational wealth transfer as the baby boomers pass on, 261 00:12:00,735 --> 00:12:03,575 Speaker 3: and billions and billions and billions of dollars over the 262 00:12:03,615 --> 00:12:05,855 Speaker 3: next sort of ten to fifteen years are going to 263 00:12:05,895 --> 00:12:09,575 Speaker 3: be transferred to gen X and sixty five percent of 264 00:12:09,615 --> 00:12:11,934 Speaker 3: that money is going to be controlled by gen X women. 265 00:12:12,535 --> 00:12:16,455 Speaker 3: They're calling it the older Daughter economy.
