WEBVTT - Inside The Fight That Ended Kyle & Jackie O

0:00:08.234 --> 0:00:10.953
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to a MoMA Mia podcast.

0:00:16.553 --> 0:00:19.393
<v Speaker 2>Hello and welcome to Mom and Mia out Loud. It's

0:00:19.393 --> 0:00:22.234
<v Speaker 2>what women are actually talking about on Wednesday, the fourth

0:00:22.233 --> 0:00:24.074
<v Speaker 2>of March. My name is Holly wayIn.

0:00:23.994 --> 0:00:26.394
<v Speaker 1>Wright, my name is Amelia Lester, and.

0:00:26.434 --> 0:00:27.954
<v Speaker 3>My name is Clare Steps.

0:00:28.674 --> 0:00:31.394
<v Speaker 2>And here's what's made our agenda for today. In the

0:00:31.434 --> 0:00:35.074
<v Speaker 2>middle of a dramatic conflict, why are there so many

0:00:35.114 --> 0:00:37.913
<v Speaker 2>headlines about influences stranded in Dubai.

0:00:38.193 --> 0:00:41.793
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to mount a vigorous defense for oversharing. TMI

0:00:41.954 --> 0:00:43.153
<v Speaker 4>is back and.

0:00:43.593 --> 0:00:45.434
<v Speaker 3>Is it the end of Kyle and Jackie?

0:00:45.434 --> 0:00:45.593
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:00:45.754 --> 0:00:46.754
<v Speaker 3>We have questions.

0:00:47.034 --> 0:00:50.593
<v Speaker 4>But in case you missed it, has Jim Carrey been cloned?

0:00:50.954 --> 0:00:51.154
<v Speaker 1>Now?

0:00:51.193 --> 0:00:55.154
<v Speaker 4>I kept seeing headlines about his face looking weird, and

0:00:55.314 --> 0:00:58.034
<v Speaker 4>I didn't care because I haven't thought about Jim Carrey

0:00:58.034 --> 0:01:01.234
<v Speaker 4>since the mask, which for younger listeners was during a

0:01:01.273 --> 0:01:05.234
<v Speaker 4>period called the nineteen nineties. But then I couldn't avoid

0:01:05.274 --> 0:01:08.114
<v Speaker 4>this particular headline because in twenty twenty six, you know what,

0:01:08.274 --> 0:01:11.033
<v Speaker 4>Jim Carrey probably has been cloned. And it's not even

0:01:11.034 --> 0:01:14.154
<v Speaker 4>the craziest thing to happen today. Jim Carrey was in

0:01:14.194 --> 0:01:17.714
<v Speaker 4>Paris recently receiving a prestigious award of which there is

0:01:17.754 --> 0:01:20.634
<v Speaker 4>no other kind in France, and apparently he received the

0:01:20.674 --> 0:01:23.394
<v Speaker 4>award by speaking influent French. But that wasn't even the

0:01:23.394 --> 0:01:26.034
<v Speaker 4>strangest part of the whole thing. People thought he looked

0:01:26.074 --> 0:01:29.074
<v Speaker 4>really different, and I'm talking really different. They were pointing

0:01:29.074 --> 0:01:32.953
<v Speaker 4>out that this particular new Jim Carrey has light eyes,

0:01:33.034 --> 0:01:37.034
<v Speaker 4>whereas real Jim Carrey has dark brown eyes. They were

0:01:37.074 --> 0:01:39.234
<v Speaker 4>pointing out other like little bits of his face that

0:01:39.274 --> 0:01:42.594
<v Speaker 4>looked very different. Even Megan Fox, remember her, She got

0:01:42.594 --> 0:01:45.594
<v Speaker 4>in on the action. She said, I can't handle any

0:01:45.634 --> 0:01:47.714
<v Speaker 4>more stress right now. I need to know if this

0:01:47.834 --> 0:01:51.994
<v Speaker 4>is real. You and me, both, Maggie, you and me both. Fortunately,

0:01:52.394 --> 0:01:55.594
<v Speaker 4>Jim's rep did come out and he confirmed that Jim

0:01:55.754 --> 0:01:58.714
<v Speaker 4>has not been cloned, so we can all relax.

0:01:58.874 --> 0:02:00.914
<v Speaker 3>That's what the rep of a clone would say.

0:02:01.674 --> 0:02:04.434
<v Speaker 1>You're good, You're good. So are you? Are you a

0:02:04.434 --> 0:02:05.114
<v Speaker 1>clone believer?

0:02:05.874 --> 0:02:08.954
<v Speaker 3>Okay? The biggest source of confusion in this story for

0:02:09.034 --> 0:02:13.314
<v Speaker 3>me is Jim Carrey in these photos and videos looks

0:02:13.353 --> 0:02:17.914
<v Speaker 3>significantly less unrecognizable than most people in Hollywood right now,

0:02:17.954 --> 0:02:20.554
<v Speaker 3>Like I was like, no, that's still him, that's still him.

0:02:20.634 --> 0:02:21.794
<v Speaker 3>Does he look really different?

0:02:21.994 --> 0:02:22.394
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:02:22.714 --> 0:02:27.073
<v Speaker 3>But I honestly think there are about twenty five other

0:02:27.154 --> 0:02:28.834
<v Speaker 3>people we need to ask questions.

0:02:29.034 --> 0:02:31.634
<v Speaker 1>You can't have like slightly longer hair to me.

0:02:31.874 --> 0:02:36.674
<v Speaker 2>Clone wars. I think it's interesting because clearly what has

0:02:36.714 --> 0:02:38.634
<v Speaker 2>happened here is that Jim Carrey and who knows of

0:02:38.634 --> 0:02:40.514
<v Speaker 2>what period of time, because as you said, merely we

0:02:40.554 --> 0:02:43.594
<v Speaker 2>haven't really been watching, we haven't really been paying close attention,

0:02:44.154 --> 0:02:46.394
<v Speaker 2>has done a lot of things to his face, and

0:02:46.474 --> 0:02:47.354
<v Speaker 2>what interesting some.

0:02:49.074 --> 0:02:52.274
<v Speaker 1>Just that masks fun intended.

0:02:53.394 --> 0:02:56.754
<v Speaker 2>But what's interesting to me is that this is really

0:02:56.794 --> 0:02:59.074
<v Speaker 2>interesting how this is how we talk about men who've

0:02:59.234 --> 0:03:02.634
<v Speaker 2>done anti aging procedures and surgeries, where he's like, there

0:03:02.714 --> 0:03:06.154
<v Speaker 2>must be something strange going on, he must be a clone.

0:03:06.234 --> 0:03:09.554
<v Speaker 2>Whereas the women who were doing this to your point, Clare,

0:03:10.634 --> 0:03:15.674
<v Speaker 2>we're all like, oh, so sad, slash so amazing.

0:03:15.674 --> 0:03:19.194
<v Speaker 1>Slash sire emoji, so tragic.

0:03:18.874 --> 0:03:21.754
<v Speaker 2>But also go you. But like with the men, we're

0:03:21.834 --> 0:03:24.754
<v Speaker 2>just like, there must be a scientific explanation. Yeah, I

0:03:24.954 --> 0:03:27.514
<v Speaker 2>it says a lot about true the aging of men

0:03:27.554 --> 0:03:29.073
<v Speaker 2>and women's differently.

0:03:28.714 --> 0:03:31.954
<v Speaker 3>And we find it interesting and like an investigation, but

0:03:32.114 --> 0:03:35.714
<v Speaker 3>not in the sense of has he had an upper bleft?

0:03:35.914 --> 0:03:39.474
<v Speaker 3>Not that it's like is he real? Yes?

0:03:40.154 --> 0:03:41.274
<v Speaker 1>Is he real?

0:03:41.514 --> 0:03:44.914
<v Speaker 3>Whereas when it's a woman, it's a moral failing. It is,

0:03:45.034 --> 0:03:49.274
<v Speaker 3>and if she hasn't changed her face she's utterly discussing, it's.

0:03:49.114 --> 0:03:52.634
<v Speaker 2>A moral failing both ways, whereas he's just a puzzle

0:03:52.674 --> 0:03:53.354
<v Speaker 2>to be sold.

0:03:54.034 --> 0:03:57.874
<v Speaker 3>For over twenty years, Kyle Sandlans and Jackie O Henderson

0:03:57.954 --> 0:04:03.714
<v Speaker 3>have been Australia's most commercially successful and most controversial radio duo,

0:04:04.234 --> 0:04:07.474
<v Speaker 3>but on Friday, the twentieth of February, the pair had

0:04:07.554 --> 0:04:10.914
<v Speaker 3>an on air clash that appears to have completely blown

0:04:11.034 --> 0:04:15.754
<v Speaker 3>up their working relationship. Anyone who has ever listened to

0:04:15.874 --> 0:04:18.393
<v Speaker 3>the show, which I will admit.

0:04:18.514 --> 0:04:20.794
<v Speaker 2>Is me, let's be clear, this is a very Sydney

0:04:20.834 --> 0:04:24.153
<v Speaker 2>based show. Yeah right, So although they're national in some ways,

0:04:24.873 --> 0:04:28.234
<v Speaker 2>Sydney people in particular have an intense relationship with Kyle

0:04:28.234 --> 0:04:28.753
<v Speaker 2>and Jackiet.

0:04:28.834 --> 0:04:31.433
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of unavoidable that you've been flicking through the

0:04:31.513 --> 0:04:34.073
<v Speaker 3>radio and you've caught a segment. So anyone who has

0:04:34.113 --> 0:04:36.794
<v Speaker 3>ever listened to it will know that a fight between

0:04:36.834 --> 0:04:40.473
<v Speaker 3>them is unsurprising. There are often headlines about one of

0:04:40.513 --> 0:04:43.354
<v Speaker 3>them storming out for summer. It'll be like, where's Kyle

0:04:43.474 --> 0:04:46.234
<v Speaker 3>He hasn't shown up for work for five days, or

0:04:46.633 --> 0:04:49.834
<v Speaker 3>that Jackie stormed out, whatever it is. But this clearly

0:04:49.914 --> 0:04:52.394
<v Speaker 3>was different because on that Friday show a couple of

0:04:52.433 --> 0:04:56.113
<v Speaker 3>weeks ago, they were addressing the news surrounding Andrew Mountbatton

0:04:56.154 --> 0:05:01.713
<v Speaker 3>Windsor when Jackie read out the ex prince's astrological birth chime.

0:05:01.594 --> 0:05:03.234
<v Speaker 2>Which is an angle we didn't think of.

0:05:03.474 --> 0:05:07.714
<v Speaker 3>I know, I'm disappointed. I'm actually really disappointed, and Kyle

0:05:08.433 --> 0:05:11.714
<v Speaker 3>lost it and I want to play a bit of

0:05:11.753 --> 0:05:17.034
<v Speaker 3>that exchange. Your fixation on this has made you almost unworkable.

0:05:18.154 --> 0:05:19.074
<v Speaker 2>It's not that bad.

0:05:20.794 --> 0:05:21.674
<v Speaker 5>You're not talking.

0:05:21.753 --> 0:05:25.154
<v Speaker 4>I'm talking to that like that's not fair like, but

0:05:25.674 --> 0:05:26.674
<v Speaker 4>it's actually true.

0:05:26.953 --> 0:05:29.273
<v Speaker 5>But you might have done that in five minutes.

0:05:29.313 --> 0:05:32.474
<v Speaker 4>But you're off with the fairies with where you no, no, no,

0:05:32.553 --> 0:05:34.394
<v Speaker 4>tell me where I've been off with the fairies during

0:05:34.433 --> 0:05:34.674
<v Speaker 4>the show.

0:05:34.674 --> 0:05:38.714
<v Speaker 2>I don't have to I don't have to prove something.

0:05:38.393 --> 0:05:40.674
<v Speaker 3>Listen to the program.

0:05:40.714 --> 0:05:41.593
<v Speaker 5>You'll hear yourself.

0:05:41.993 --> 0:05:44.953
<v Speaker 2>Just give me to be aware of what's really.

0:05:44.714 --> 0:05:47.713
<v Speaker 4>Can I ask you, as a I think it's better say,

0:05:47.794 --> 0:05:52.593
<v Speaker 4>seasoned listener of this show, how is this exchange to

0:05:52.753 --> 0:05:56.513
<v Speaker 4>your ears different from all those past blow ups that

0:05:56.594 --> 0:05:58.873
<v Speaker 4>you've mentioned have been documented in the press.

0:05:58.914 --> 0:06:01.753
<v Speaker 3>So in a lot of ways it's similar. Like they

0:06:01.794 --> 0:06:04.193
<v Speaker 3>do press each other's buttons, and Jackie does go, oh,

0:06:04.313 --> 0:06:06.553
<v Speaker 3>Kyle like if you if she had a SoundBite, it

0:06:06.553 --> 0:06:08.914
<v Speaker 3>would just be Kyle like, why are you doing that?

0:06:09.354 --> 0:06:12.193
<v Speaker 3>But in this particular one, I think you could tell

0:06:13.034 --> 0:06:18.154
<v Speaker 3>that she was genuinely offended and embarrassed that he had

0:06:18.193 --> 0:06:18.954
<v Speaker 3>embarrassed her.

0:06:19.073 --> 0:06:22.434
<v Speaker 2>And to me, the most painful bit of that conversation

0:06:23.513 --> 0:06:25.514
<v Speaker 2>isn't in that grab, but it's the bit where he says,

0:06:25.714 --> 0:06:28.794
<v Speaker 2>ask anyone in the building, everyone who works here has

0:06:28.873 --> 0:06:33.153
<v Speaker 2>been talking about it, and anyone in any workplace. The

0:06:33.234 --> 0:06:35.674
<v Speaker 2>idea that everyone in the workplace is talking about them

0:06:35.753 --> 0:06:38.473
<v Speaker 2>is particularly vicious.

0:06:38.393 --> 0:06:41.273
<v Speaker 3>And she says back to him, I would never say

0:06:41.313 --> 0:06:44.273
<v Speaker 3>things like that about you, which is true because as

0:06:44.313 --> 0:06:46.914
<v Speaker 3>a listener, there are many days where you're like, Kyle

0:06:47.073 --> 0:06:49.473
<v Speaker 3>is phoning it in today, he didn't go he was

0:06:49.513 --> 0:06:52.993
<v Speaker 3>recording from home, doesn't give a crap, and Jackie plays

0:06:52.993 --> 0:06:55.033
<v Speaker 3>along because that's how you have to do radio.

0:06:55.274 --> 0:06:57.594
<v Speaker 4>So do you think the distinction was a little bit

0:06:57.674 --> 0:07:00.553
<v Speaker 4>that they used to kind of like ragging on each

0:07:00.594 --> 0:07:05.234
<v Speaker 4>other personally within these boundaries, but in this situation. He

0:07:05.354 --> 0:07:08.033
<v Speaker 4>started telling her why she was bad at her job. Yeah,

0:07:08.073 --> 0:07:10.434
<v Speaker 4>and that was what was galling to her about it.

0:07:10.634 --> 0:07:14.074
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and that seems to be the line you don't cross.

0:07:14.114 --> 0:07:16.393
<v Speaker 3>It's like he can comment on her appearance, he can

0:07:16.474 --> 0:07:18.834
<v Speaker 3>comment on her love life, he can comment on her

0:07:18.874 --> 0:07:23.954
<v Speaker 3>sex life anything, but actually her professionalism is one place

0:07:24.274 --> 0:07:25.754
<v Speaker 3>that he doesn't usually.

0:07:26.114 --> 0:07:28.114
<v Speaker 2>Happened immediately after that.

0:07:28.074 --> 0:07:32.274
<v Speaker 3>When the news broke about Jackie walking out and not

0:07:32.634 --> 0:07:35.554
<v Speaker 3>being on air. We talked about it in our meeting

0:07:35.594 --> 0:07:38.834
<v Speaker 3>and we were trying to decide whether to cover it

0:07:39.074 --> 0:07:42.754
<v Speaker 3>at that time because this kind of thing has happened

0:07:42.754 --> 0:07:44.114
<v Speaker 3>a bit and we didn't know where it was going

0:07:44.154 --> 0:07:47.353
<v Speaker 3>to end up. But then on Tuesday this week, ARN,

0:07:47.714 --> 0:07:51.554
<v Speaker 3>the network therewith released a statement and it read, Jacqueline

0:07:51.594 --> 0:07:54.674
<v Speaker 3>Henderson has given notice that she cannot continue to work

0:07:54.714 --> 0:07:57.514
<v Speaker 3>with mister Kyle Sandalans. It went on to say that

0:07:57.794 --> 0:08:01.434
<v Speaker 3>ARN has terminated their contract with her and she will

0:08:01.434 --> 0:08:03.674
<v Speaker 3>cease to present the show, but they've offered her the

0:08:03.674 --> 0:08:07.354
<v Speaker 3>possibility of an alternative show on the network. Then it

0:08:07.393 --> 0:08:11.233
<v Speaker 3>went on to say that ARN have provided written notice

0:08:11.274 --> 0:08:14.994
<v Speaker 3>to Sandalands that it considers his behavior during the segment

0:08:15.034 --> 0:08:18.713
<v Speaker 3>an act of serious misconduct which is in breach of

0:08:18.754 --> 0:08:21.634
<v Speaker 3>his contract, and he's been given fourteen days to remedy

0:08:21.754 --> 0:08:25.314
<v Speaker 3>the breach and if it's not remedied, his contract will

0:08:25.354 --> 0:08:28.354
<v Speaker 3>be terminated and for those fourteen days he won't be

0:08:28.393 --> 0:08:31.593
<v Speaker 3>on the show. So the Kiss Breakfast Show, aka the

0:08:31.594 --> 0:08:35.874
<v Speaker 3>most lucrative show in Australian radio, has been taken off

0:08:35.914 --> 0:08:36.914
<v Speaker 3>air immediately.

0:08:36.953 --> 0:08:39.674
<v Speaker 2>The reason that that is also such a big story

0:08:39.714 --> 0:08:42.594
<v Speaker 2>too because again this is a Sydney radio show, but

0:08:42.634 --> 0:08:47.554
<v Speaker 2>their national figures possibly because famously, when they sign this contract,

0:08:47.914 --> 0:08:50.434
<v Speaker 2>it's the biggest contract in well in media, not just

0:08:50.474 --> 0:08:52.914
<v Speaker 2>in radio. It's one hundred million.

0:08:52.634 --> 0:08:56.994
<v Speaker 3>Dollars one hundred million dollars over ten years, so this

0:08:57.034 --> 0:09:01.154
<v Speaker 3>is unprecedented money and that when they signed that contract

0:09:01.194 --> 0:09:03.274
<v Speaker 3>it was quite public and it was a big celebration

0:09:03.394 --> 0:09:04.674
<v Speaker 3>and it was seen as you know, oh, in the

0:09:04.794 --> 0:09:08.154
<v Speaker 3>celebration for them, obviously not necessarily for the culture, but.

0:09:08.194 --> 0:09:11.514
<v Speaker 2>It was a big celebration and seen as like, wow,

0:09:11.594 --> 0:09:15.114
<v Speaker 2>this is the most lucrative partnership in Australian media, and

0:09:15.154 --> 0:09:18.634
<v Speaker 2>no question is the most lucrative and she is, as

0:09:18.794 --> 0:09:20.714
<v Speaker 2>Mia made the point when she was on No Filter

0:09:20.794 --> 0:09:23.674
<v Speaker 2>the year before last the highest paid female in Australian

0:09:23.674 --> 0:09:26.074
<v Speaker 2>media by a very long way. So this kind of

0:09:26.074 --> 0:09:28.514
<v Speaker 2>paints a picture of why this story is so big

0:09:28.554 --> 0:09:32.114
<v Speaker 2>because by blowing up this contract, as they have done

0:09:32.914 --> 0:09:37.474
<v Speaker 2>obstensibly over this fight, they've blown up one hundred million dollars.

0:09:37.554 --> 0:09:38.634
<v Speaker 1>And that's my question.

0:09:38.914 --> 0:09:42.554
<v Speaker 4>Do we think that this contract blow up is about

0:09:42.554 --> 0:09:46.314
<v Speaker 4>the fight or is there something else at work here?

0:09:46.354 --> 0:09:51.114
<v Speaker 4>Either strategy on the radio networks part, Jackie's part, what

0:09:51.154 --> 0:09:52.274
<v Speaker 4>do we think.

0:09:52.434 --> 0:09:55.314
<v Speaker 3>You often get this in media, but there has been

0:09:55.434 --> 0:09:58.833
<v Speaker 3>Like in January twenty twenty five, Jackie O did a

0:09:58.874 --> 0:10:02.314
<v Speaker 3>Stella interview and she talked about the boys club in

0:10:02.434 --> 0:10:05.114
<v Speaker 3>media that makes women feel like they don't matter and

0:10:05.754 --> 0:10:07.914
<v Speaker 3>her talking about this stuff. It was kind of tied

0:10:07.954 --> 0:10:10.834
<v Speaker 3>to promotion of her book, which came out late twenty

0:10:10.874 --> 0:10:15.354
<v Speaker 3>twenty four. It is kind of the first time she's

0:10:15.394 --> 0:10:18.234
<v Speaker 3>positioning herself as a bit of because she's in this

0:10:18.314 --> 0:10:21.714
<v Speaker 3>partnership with somebody Kyle Sandalans, who is known to be

0:10:22.434 --> 0:10:27.194
<v Speaker 3>absolute shock job, says awful things about women, and she's

0:10:27.354 --> 0:10:30.554
<v Speaker 3>kind of clearly trying to separate herself from that. And

0:10:31.394 --> 0:10:34.474
<v Speaker 3>then an in studio argument between Kyle and Jackie o

0:10:35.074 --> 0:10:37.754
<v Speaker 3>seem to have happened in May twenty twenty five, but

0:10:37.954 --> 0:10:41.834
<v Speaker 3>it was a similar conversation where Sandalans was criticizing Jackie's

0:10:42.394 --> 0:10:45.754
<v Speaker 3>work habits and she stormed out and he kind of

0:10:45.754 --> 0:10:48.154
<v Speaker 3>made fun of like, are you sure you're the full quid?

0:10:48.434 --> 0:10:51.914
<v Speaker 3>Like is basically is there much going on up there?

0:10:52.514 --> 0:10:54.994
<v Speaker 3>So there had been these little scandals that have sort

0:10:54.994 --> 0:10:56.794
<v Speaker 3>of been going on for the past years, so I

0:10:56.834 --> 0:10:58.274
<v Speaker 3>feel like it's been building.

0:10:59.034 --> 0:11:01.794
<v Speaker 2>So to be clear too, when she wrote that memoir

0:11:01.834 --> 0:11:04.234
<v Speaker 2>and she came into Mamma Mia and did two parts

0:11:04.274 --> 0:11:06.754
<v Speaker 2>sit down with me or about that. We'd actually been

0:11:06.794 --> 0:11:08.274
<v Speaker 2>trying to get her to come and talk to Momma

0:11:08.314 --> 0:11:10.914
<v Speaker 2>Mia for a long time because, as I say, whether

0:11:11.034 --> 0:11:13.394
<v Speaker 2>or not you approve of the Kyle and Jackie Oh

0:11:13.474 --> 0:11:15.914
<v Speaker 2>Show and whether you approve of her role as kind

0:11:15.914 --> 0:11:18.314
<v Speaker 2>of Kyle's chief apologist, which is a role she played

0:11:18.314 --> 0:11:21.954
<v Speaker 2>for a very long time. She is a very significant

0:11:22.434 --> 0:11:25.994
<v Speaker 2>media player. And when she wrote that memoir, she was

0:11:26.114 --> 0:11:28.274
<v Speaker 2>very honest about the fact she'd struggled with addiction, that

0:11:28.314 --> 0:11:31.674
<v Speaker 2>she'd gone into rehab in America for addiction to painkillers,

0:11:32.074 --> 0:11:34.274
<v Speaker 2>that she'd been through, you know, over the course of

0:11:34.314 --> 0:11:36.154
<v Speaker 2>two decades of working with Kyle. She'd been through all

0:11:36.234 --> 0:11:41.274
<v Speaker 2>kinds of things, you know, fertility troubles, divorce, financial issues, addiction,

0:11:41.914 --> 0:11:46.473
<v Speaker 2>and it was a very honest, frank kind of exploration

0:11:46.554 --> 0:11:49.794
<v Speaker 2>of what that career was like to And obviously in

0:11:49.834 --> 0:11:52.914
<v Speaker 2>the press for that, she is constantly asked, you sit

0:11:52.954 --> 0:11:56.074
<v Speaker 2>next to this guy. Women hate this guy, although not

0:11:56.114 --> 0:11:58.234
<v Speaker 2>all women hate this guy, obviously, but many women do.

0:11:58.874 --> 0:12:01.594
<v Speaker 2>Aren't you enabling him? And one of the things that

0:12:01.634 --> 0:12:03.954
<v Speaker 2>is obviously being speculated here is that for a very

0:12:04.074 --> 0:12:06.674
<v Speaker 2>very long time she wore that and she literally sat

0:12:06.714 --> 0:12:09.634
<v Speaker 2>there and in her book I've read a memoir, their

0:12:09.674 --> 0:12:13.514
<v Speaker 2>friendship appears to be genuine. He also famously is the

0:12:13.514 --> 0:12:16.274
<v Speaker 2>one who said will negotiate together anything I get paid,

0:12:16.314 --> 0:12:18.834
<v Speaker 2>you get paid, which you know, she's always painted as

0:12:18.834 --> 0:12:20.634
<v Speaker 2>a bit of a feminist move on his part, because

0:12:20.634 --> 0:12:24.074
<v Speaker 2>he certainly didn't have to do that, And it feels

0:12:24.074 --> 0:12:27.674
<v Speaker 2>to me like a sort of slow realization on her part,

0:12:27.834 --> 0:12:30.034
<v Speaker 2>or maybe not a realization, but of that I don't

0:12:30.114 --> 0:12:32.714
<v Speaker 2>think I can do this anymore. Yeah, you know, because

0:12:33.194 --> 0:12:37.314
<v Speaker 2>I think that she has always been good for his brand,

0:12:37.474 --> 0:12:40.794
<v Speaker 2>because she softens him, and there's always a kind of

0:12:40.874 --> 0:12:43.794
<v Speaker 2>idea that well, if she's there, he can't really be

0:12:43.994 --> 0:12:46.674
<v Speaker 2>a woman hating misogynist, even when he's calling a journalist

0:12:46.674 --> 0:12:48.594
<v Speaker 2>a fat slag or he's doing one of the many

0:12:48.634 --> 0:12:52.154
<v Speaker 2>other awful things he's done, whereas he's actually terrible for

0:12:52.194 --> 0:12:55.474
<v Speaker 2>her brand, like he's brought a riches and fame that partnership.

0:12:55.914 --> 0:12:58.514
<v Speaker 2>But it's always meant whenever we write about her or

0:12:58.554 --> 0:13:00.194
<v Speaker 2>have her a Mama Mire for example, when she was

0:13:00.234 --> 0:13:02.114
<v Speaker 2>on No Filter, will have a very large portion of

0:13:02.154 --> 0:13:04.874
<v Speaker 2>the audience. They're probably thinking it and doing it right now,

0:13:04.874 --> 0:13:09.234
<v Speaker 2>who go no, Like, she is not good for women,

0:13:09.274 --> 0:13:10.954
<v Speaker 2>she's not a supporter of women because she's worked with

0:13:10.994 --> 0:13:13.914
<v Speaker 2>that guy. And at what point do you get jack

0:13:13.954 --> 0:13:16.274
<v Speaker 2>of that? And at what point is what was once

0:13:16.514 --> 0:13:19.954
<v Speaker 2>joshing and fun and lucrative for you? Do you actually

0:13:19.994 --> 0:13:21.754
<v Speaker 2>go nah?

0:13:21.794 --> 0:13:26.594
<v Speaker 3>Because that's what was interesting listening to this exchange that

0:13:26.874 --> 0:13:29.953
<v Speaker 3>clearly upset her and he's taking a dig at her

0:13:29.994 --> 0:13:32.874
<v Speaker 3>work ethic and how she's become obsessed with astrology, and

0:13:32.914 --> 0:13:36.794
<v Speaker 3>it's derailing the show. As a listener, you're thinking derailing

0:13:36.834 --> 0:13:37.354
<v Speaker 3>the show?

0:13:37.714 --> 0:13:38.114
<v Speaker 5>Dude?

0:13:38.194 --> 0:13:42.594
<v Speaker 3>Do you know how many times you have had advertisers

0:13:42.674 --> 0:13:46.274
<v Speaker 3>pull out of the show have had us cautioned and

0:13:47.274 --> 0:13:51.794
<v Speaker 3>warned and suspended and got us in massive hot water.

0:13:52.354 --> 0:13:53.994
<v Speaker 3>And she's sat there and.

0:13:53.954 --> 0:13:56.314
<v Speaker 2>She famously have to have a sensor in the room

0:13:56.474 --> 0:13:56.954
<v Speaker 2>saw him.

0:13:57.234 --> 0:13:59.314
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and think about what they could be talking about

0:13:59.394 --> 0:14:02.914
<v Speaker 4>if they weren't talking about astrology. It's such a missed opportunity.

0:14:03.634 --> 0:14:06.514
<v Speaker 4>But just on the astrology point for a minute. I

0:14:06.594 --> 0:14:09.314
<v Speaker 4>think one of the most relatable parts of this story

0:14:09.354 --> 0:14:12.354
<v Speaker 4>about people earning one hundred million dollars for talking on

0:14:12.394 --> 0:14:17.194
<v Speaker 4>the radio is that every woman goes through a phase

0:14:17.274 --> 0:14:20.394
<v Speaker 4>where she is obsessed with astrology. It happens to all

0:14:20.434 --> 0:14:22.994
<v Speaker 4>of us. I know what happened to me, and it

0:14:23.154 --> 0:14:27.554
<v Speaker 4>typically coincides. I'm not speculating about anything in Jackie's life.

0:14:27.994 --> 0:14:32.994
<v Speaker 4>I'm noticing that anecdotally, it coincides with going through a

0:14:33.034 --> 0:14:35.394
<v Speaker 4>bit of a reckoning in your personal life, a bit

0:14:35.434 --> 0:14:37.954
<v Speaker 4>of a moment where you don't quite know where you're going.

0:14:38.394 --> 0:14:41.714
<v Speaker 4>You might feel a little bit lost, and looking to

0:14:41.794 --> 0:14:45.714
<v Speaker 4>the stars helps you feel a sense of confidence and

0:14:45.754 --> 0:14:48.714
<v Speaker 4>control that you don't otherwise have. I went through a

0:14:48.714 --> 0:14:51.674
<v Speaker 4>phase where I was paying for an app which told

0:14:51.714 --> 0:14:54.594
<v Speaker 4>me what the stars had in store for me that day.

0:14:55.114 --> 0:14:58.114
<v Speaker 3>It is really relatable because when you have that friend

0:14:58.194 --> 0:15:00.474
<v Speaker 3>who's gone down that rabbit hole, it's a sort of

0:15:00.514 --> 0:15:03.594
<v Speaker 3>thing where it's so interesting to them and it's so

0:15:03.754 --> 0:15:07.354
<v Speaker 3>boring to everyone else. Yes, because you don't understand any

0:15:07.394 --> 0:15:09.514
<v Speaker 3>of like a birth chart in your head, you're.

0:15:09.394 --> 0:15:10.834
<v Speaker 1>Like, hey, but that's absolute bullshit.

0:15:10.874 --> 0:15:13.074
<v Speaker 3>It's made up. There's no such thing like you're thinking that.

0:15:13.194 --> 0:15:15.394
<v Speaker 4>Well, remember they came out with that science a couple

0:15:15.434 --> 0:15:17.914
<v Speaker 4>of years ago. It said, we actually are all saying

0:15:17.954 --> 0:15:20.554
<v Speaker 4>that we're the wrong star signed because they've done the

0:15:20.554 --> 0:15:22.394
<v Speaker 4>calculations and it's changed.

0:15:22.634 --> 0:15:25.354
<v Speaker 2>So and if you're earning one hundred million, you could

0:15:25.394 --> 0:15:29.434
<v Speaker 2>probably have an astrologer on Speedaley if you would like. Also,

0:15:29.554 --> 0:15:32.954
<v Speaker 2>Jackie is just turned fifties, turn fifty last year. I mean,

0:15:33.074 --> 0:15:35.274
<v Speaker 2>I know this is maybe a generous take. The woman

0:15:35.314 --> 0:15:37.394
<v Speaker 2>doesn't need the money. Let's be honest. She's been earning

0:15:37.514 --> 0:15:39.874
<v Speaker 2>very very good money for a really long time. And

0:15:39.914 --> 0:15:43.914
<v Speaker 2>I think that if as is being speculated, that a

0:15:43.954 --> 0:15:46.434
<v Speaker 2>lot of what she's put up with in that studio,

0:15:46.514 --> 0:15:50.754
<v Speaker 2>in terms of the just joking from Kyle, does get

0:15:50.794 --> 0:15:53.074
<v Speaker 2>to a point where you're just like, no, Like, there

0:15:53.074 --> 0:15:56.274
<v Speaker 2>have been toxic work relationships in my life over the

0:15:56.474 --> 0:16:00.034
<v Speaker 2>years and in previous jobs where you have a dynamic

0:16:00.834 --> 0:16:03.994
<v Speaker 2>that you're willing to put up with because it's fun

0:16:04.194 --> 0:16:07.954
<v Speaker 2>and it's working, but it can very easy tip over

0:16:08.674 --> 0:16:11.314
<v Speaker 2>into something much more serious, depending on how you're feeling

0:16:11.314 --> 0:16:14.674
<v Speaker 2>about yourself, depending on your position, and if you're fifty one. Also,

0:16:14.754 --> 0:16:17.474
<v Speaker 2>twenty five years is a very long time to work

0:16:17.474 --> 0:16:20.034
<v Speaker 2>with somebody. I wonder it's like a marriage.

0:16:20.154 --> 0:16:22.874
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it really is. And I wonder the other thing

0:16:22.914 --> 0:16:25.594
<v Speaker 3>I kind of think I heard when I was listening

0:16:25.674 --> 0:16:29.634
<v Speaker 3>to this. Jackie has in terms of her brand, gone

0:16:29.794 --> 0:16:33.874
<v Speaker 3>through a bit of a metamorphosis over the last couple

0:16:33.914 --> 0:16:36.634
<v Speaker 3>of years, coming out about this addiction, that nobody had

0:16:36.674 --> 0:16:40.754
<v Speaker 3>any idea about being incredibly vulnerable, about how she was

0:16:40.754 --> 0:16:43.594
<v Speaker 3>showing up to work and what her life looked like

0:16:43.754 --> 0:16:47.954
<v Speaker 3>at that darkest, darkest moment. And I wonder when Kyle's

0:16:47.994 --> 0:16:50.234
<v Speaker 3>having a dig about her being off with the fairies,

0:16:50.714 --> 0:16:54.354
<v Speaker 3>about her not doing her job, and everyone's talking about her,

0:16:54.954 --> 0:16:57.714
<v Speaker 3>I think it kind of presses on a bruise for her.

0:16:57.954 --> 0:17:01.314
<v Speaker 3>It's not just like a funny haha, a dopey Jackie,

0:17:01.314 --> 0:17:05.434
<v Speaker 3>dopey Jackie. It's actually that is my core vulnerability that

0:17:05.474 --> 0:17:08.874
<v Speaker 3>I've shared with the world and you are pressing on it.

0:17:09.074 --> 0:17:11.954
<v Speaker 2>She also has another business going on right with her

0:17:12.154 --> 0:17:15.914
<v Speaker 2>best friend and manager, Jemma O'Neil, and they have a

0:17:15.914 --> 0:17:18.194
<v Speaker 2>business together called Besties and they do sort of events

0:17:18.234 --> 0:17:21.634
<v Speaker 2>and trips and they bring out speakers to Australia. And

0:17:21.674 --> 0:17:24.834
<v Speaker 2>that's clearly when she started that around the same time

0:17:24.834 --> 0:17:27.434
<v Speaker 2>as the memoir, it all began to feel like next

0:17:27.554 --> 0:17:30.793
<v Speaker 2>acts and stuff. And again, as I sort of said before,

0:17:31.234 --> 0:17:33.274
<v Speaker 2>one of the problems with her being able to move

0:17:33.314 --> 0:17:35.634
<v Speaker 2>into whatever her next act is is He's always an

0:17:35.634 --> 0:17:39.834
<v Speaker 2>albatross there, not in terms of finance and success, but

0:17:39.954 --> 0:17:44.954
<v Speaker 2>in terms of a happy, positive, female focused brand. It

0:17:45.234 --> 0:17:48.594
<v Speaker 2>just is a clash that is not gonna work.

0:17:48.594 --> 0:17:54.194
<v Speaker 3>And in terms of where they are professionally. I have

0:17:54.354 --> 0:17:57.553
<v Speaker 3>always found it a little bit funny that so with

0:17:57.674 --> 0:18:00.754
<v Speaker 3>this new one hundred million dollar contract, they went on

0:18:00.794 --> 0:18:02.634
<v Speaker 3>air in Melbourne and it didn't work.

0:18:02.954 --> 0:18:03.714
<v Speaker 2>Hasn't worked at all.

0:18:03.754 --> 0:18:06.074
<v Speaker 3>Everyone in Melbourne was like, absolutely not. And I just

0:18:06.074 --> 0:18:07.834
<v Speaker 3>think that is the biggest if they're just.

0:18:07.994 --> 0:18:11.994
<v Speaker 4>Ordering their like fancy types of expresso dress and saying

0:18:11.994 --> 0:18:15.354
<v Speaker 4>we don't have time for Trady versus Lady, which he

0:18:15.434 --> 0:18:16.754
<v Speaker 4>told me is a segment on the.

0:18:16.714 --> 0:18:19.714
<v Speaker 3>Show I was explaining to Amelia Trady versus lady, and

0:18:19.874 --> 0:18:22.194
<v Speaker 3>Amelia was like, is that because a trade can't be

0:18:22.234 --> 0:18:25.834
<v Speaker 3>a lady? And I said, yes, man, you've got it.

0:18:27.154 --> 0:18:29.273
<v Speaker 2>Are always very smug about their rejection of Kyle and

0:18:29.394 --> 0:18:31.954
<v Speaker 2>Jackie Hoe, and I think there is something to be

0:18:31.994 --> 0:18:35.114
<v Speaker 2>proud of there. But at the same time, and I

0:18:35.194 --> 0:18:38.234
<v Speaker 2>know this is an unpopular opinion, but the reason that

0:18:38.314 --> 0:18:40.513
<v Speaker 2>they make all that money is because they bring in

0:18:40.554 --> 0:18:43.033
<v Speaker 2>all the advertising. And what that tells you is that

0:18:43.074 --> 0:18:45.513
<v Speaker 2>there is an enormous audience what they do, and maybe

0:18:45.514 --> 0:18:48.354
<v Speaker 2>the audience is fragmenting and changing now and that the

0:18:48.434 --> 0:18:51.154
<v Speaker 2>peak has passed, right. I mean, you could totally see

0:18:51.154 --> 0:18:53.874
<v Speaker 2>a world where Kyle is now podcast king being a

0:18:53.954 --> 0:18:58.114
<v Speaker 2>Joe Rogany type following his mate Kyl. But it's like

0:18:58.674 --> 0:19:00.513
<v Speaker 2>they spoke to a lot of people, a lot of

0:19:00.554 --> 0:19:03.834
<v Speaker 2>a really diverse audience that a lot of media wasn't

0:19:03.874 --> 0:19:06.073
<v Speaker 2>speaking to for a really long time. And whatever you

0:19:06.114 --> 0:19:08.833
<v Speaker 2>think about that, it's impressive.

0:19:08.754 --> 0:19:09.394
<v Speaker 1>In a moment.

0:19:09.594 --> 0:19:19.394
<v Speaker 5>Why TMI is actually a Okay, hello out loud as

0:19:19.394 --> 0:19:22.954
<v Speaker 5>it's Mia and yesterday, what did we talk about on

0:19:22.994 --> 0:19:26.194
<v Speaker 5>our subscriber episode. Well, I'm so glad you asked, because

0:19:26.194 --> 0:19:29.394
<v Speaker 5>Amelia and I did a part two of our conversation

0:19:29.674 --> 0:19:34.394
<v Speaker 5>about c BK and JFK and the story of Well

0:19:34.474 --> 0:19:37.314
<v Speaker 5>the Love Story, which is the show that Ryan Murphy

0:19:37.314 --> 0:19:42.074
<v Speaker 5>made about their doomed relationship. If you're not already a subscriber,

0:19:42.194 --> 0:19:44.194
<v Speaker 5>please follow the link in the show notes to get

0:19:44.234 --> 0:19:46.634
<v Speaker 5>out loud in your ears five days a week and

0:19:46.714 --> 0:19:48.394
<v Speaker 5>you can listen to us right now.

0:19:52.034 --> 0:19:55.354
<v Speaker 4>So oversharing is generally seen as I think we can

0:19:55.394 --> 0:19:58.714
<v Speaker 4>say a bad thing. Think of some of the classic oversharers.

0:19:58.714 --> 0:20:02.754
<v Speaker 4>Prince Harry, in his book Spare talks about his frostbitten penis,

0:20:02.834 --> 0:20:05.034
<v Speaker 4>which he solved with Elizabeth.

0:20:04.634 --> 0:20:05.594
<v Speaker 1>Arden eight hour cream.

0:20:05.954 --> 0:20:07.994
<v Speaker 2>What doesn't it do again?

0:20:09.434 --> 0:20:12.674
<v Speaker 4>Or think about the Norwegian Winter Olympian who at this

0:20:12.914 --> 0:20:16.474
<v Speaker 4>Olympics desperately wanted to tell his girlfriend, who he loves

0:20:16.594 --> 0:20:19.833
<v Speaker 4>very much, that he had recently cheated on her. In

0:20:19.874 --> 0:20:24.394
<v Speaker 4>both these instances, you might ask why is this business?

0:20:24.674 --> 0:20:28.554
<v Speaker 4>But a new book by a Harvard psychologist says that

0:20:28.594 --> 0:20:32.154
<v Speaker 4>we would be wrong. In fact, oversharing is a kind

0:20:32.194 --> 0:20:35.394
<v Speaker 4>of shortcut to intimacy. It's a secret power. It can

0:20:35.434 --> 0:20:38.994
<v Speaker 4>benefit our love lives, our careers, our friendships, and the

0:20:39.034 --> 0:20:41.434
<v Speaker 4>only catch is that we have to be vulnerable. The

0:20:41.474 --> 0:20:45.313
<v Speaker 4>book is called Revealing the Underrated Power of Oversharing by

0:20:45.394 --> 0:20:46.154
<v Speaker 4>Leslie John's.

0:20:46.754 --> 0:20:49.474
<v Speaker 1>So Leslie says that you need.

0:20:49.234 --> 0:20:53.474
<v Speaker 4>To start sharing more in basically all situations. She says

0:20:53.554 --> 0:20:57.394
<v Speaker 4>at work, great dating, definitely people.

0:20:57.034 --> 0:20:57.874
<v Speaker 1>Who are married.

0:20:58.194 --> 0:21:01.714
<v Speaker 4>You have to keep talking about your feelings, which every

0:21:01.754 --> 0:21:06.154
<v Speaker 4>straight man loves to hear. So she has four steps

0:21:06.154 --> 0:21:09.234
<v Speaker 4>for sharing more for very private people. But before I

0:21:09.354 --> 0:21:12.154
<v Speaker 4>get to the four steps, I want to know what

0:21:12.274 --> 0:21:16.114
<v Speaker 4>each of you feel about TMI. Are you oversharers, Claire,

0:21:16.154 --> 0:21:16.793
<v Speaker 4>Let's start with you.

0:21:17.474 --> 0:21:22.954
<v Speaker 3>I think I've become more of an oversharer. Jesse is

0:21:22.994 --> 0:21:25.474
<v Speaker 3>definitely a lot more of an oversharer than I am,

0:21:25.674 --> 0:21:28.994
<v Speaker 3>which is yeah. So I think between the two of us,

0:21:29.394 --> 0:21:30.594
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I'm.

0:21:30.434 --> 0:21:33.793
<v Speaker 2>Not Are we defining oversharing is like really personal stuff

0:21:33.914 --> 0:21:34.994
<v Speaker 2>or sickness?

0:21:35.354 --> 0:21:37.434
<v Speaker 4>It depends on the context, right, Like I think at

0:21:37.514 --> 0:21:40.954
<v Speaker 4>work and Jesse and I know each other primarily through work.

0:21:40.994 --> 0:21:44.034
<v Speaker 4>I would say the bar for what is TMI at

0:21:44.074 --> 0:21:49.513
<v Speaker 4>work is fairly low, meaning that anything to do with

0:21:49.594 --> 0:21:52.954
<v Speaker 4>your toilet habits, perhaps if your stomach is a little

0:21:52.994 --> 0:21:55.074
<v Speaker 4>bit in a difficult spot.

0:21:54.874 --> 0:21:57.434
<v Speaker 1>Right now, you had a fight with your partner.

0:21:57.514 --> 0:22:00.914
<v Speaker 4>I think all of these things maybe not typically what

0:22:00.954 --> 0:22:02.754
<v Speaker 4>you want to be sharing with people at work.

0:22:03.194 --> 0:22:07.874
<v Speaker 3>I've seen Jesse on stage at out Loud show and

0:22:07.954 --> 0:22:13.674
<v Speaker 3>seeing her maybe talking about sex or talking about sex,

0:22:13.754 --> 0:22:17.554
<v Speaker 3>and I'm like, whoa, I never in one million years.

0:22:17.834 --> 0:22:21.274
<v Speaker 1>No sex. I think in general is considered overshare at work.

0:22:22.874 --> 0:22:25.714
<v Speaker 4>I mean you're British, like I assume that overshare for

0:22:25.794 --> 0:22:27.273
<v Speaker 4>you is like how you take your team.

0:22:27.554 --> 0:22:31.394
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, everyone has a different line, don't they. Right, So

0:22:31.594 --> 0:22:35.434
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I'm an oversharer. But because my job

0:22:35.554 --> 0:22:38.194
<v Speaker 2>requires me to talk about myself a fair amount, people

0:22:38.194 --> 0:22:40.594
<v Speaker 2>will often say, oh, I can't believe how open you are,

0:22:40.754 --> 0:22:42.874
<v Speaker 2>and I'll be like, oh, mate, you have no idea.

0:22:43.194 --> 0:22:44.434
<v Speaker 1>Think I don't tell you.

0:22:47.194 --> 0:22:51.114
<v Speaker 2>I find it in a private setting. If I've just

0:22:51.274 --> 0:22:53.914
<v Speaker 2>met somebody and they go straight in with an overshare,

0:22:53.954 --> 0:22:56.553
<v Speaker 2>I know some women love that. I can't say that

0:22:56.594 --> 0:22:56.794
<v Speaker 2>I do.

0:22:57.154 --> 0:22:59.314
<v Speaker 1>So can we talk about me for a little bit?

0:22:59.394 --> 0:23:02.114
<v Speaker 2>Please? Do I think that you're a very private Yes?

0:23:02.234 --> 0:23:04.114
<v Speaker 4>You said this to me in the prep and I

0:23:04.194 --> 0:23:08.074
<v Speaker 4>was fascinated because I think I'm I'm actually a very

0:23:08.074 --> 0:23:11.394
<v Speaker 4>frank person, and in fact that sometimes has got me

0:23:11.434 --> 0:23:14.754
<v Speaker 4>into trouble in my friendships that people perceive me as

0:23:14.794 --> 0:23:17.194
<v Speaker 4>being too frank. But I guess what you meant by

0:23:17.194 --> 0:23:19.714
<v Speaker 4>private is that I don't have social media, and social

0:23:19.754 --> 0:23:23.513
<v Speaker 4>media is a forum where people love to share. Is

0:23:23.554 --> 0:23:26.074
<v Speaker 4>that overshare if it's on social media, maybe almost by

0:23:26.114 --> 0:23:27.513
<v Speaker 4>definition it's not oversharing.

0:23:27.754 --> 0:23:31.074
<v Speaker 2>Well, social media runs on overshareh Let's be honest, and

0:23:31.114 --> 0:23:33.273
<v Speaker 2>again everyone has upset their boundaries about that. But I

0:23:33.314 --> 0:23:35.674
<v Speaker 2>think when I said that about you, because you're right,

0:23:35.674 --> 0:23:38.513
<v Speaker 2>you're a very frank and direct person and generally speaking,

0:23:38.554 --> 0:23:40.074
<v Speaker 2>if I ask you a question, you're going to tell

0:23:40.114 --> 0:23:43.074
<v Speaker 2>me the answer. But your private in that I don't

0:23:43.114 --> 0:23:45.434
<v Speaker 2>think that the average people who would mill around you

0:23:45.474 --> 0:23:47.874
<v Speaker 2>in an office would know very much about where you live,

0:23:48.074 --> 0:23:51.794
<v Speaker 2>what your family's like, because it's just not your thing.

0:23:51.914 --> 0:23:54.554
<v Speaker 2>You're not going around spilling personal details all the time,

0:23:54.594 --> 0:23:56.833
<v Speaker 2>whereas there are people in our office. Yeah, I love

0:23:56.954 --> 0:23:59.834
<v Speaker 2>very much, Yes, but I feel like I know way

0:23:59.914 --> 0:24:03.594
<v Speaker 2>too much about that weekend. Yeah, way too much, which

0:24:03.634 --> 0:24:04.074
<v Speaker 2>is fine.

0:24:04.514 --> 0:24:08.314
<v Speaker 3>Here's the complicated thing and why I find it hard

0:24:08.354 --> 0:24:12.594
<v Speaker 3>to define whether I'm an oversharer. The thing about sharing

0:24:12.914 --> 0:24:16.793
<v Speaker 3>and disclosure in general as like a psychological thing that

0:24:16.834 --> 0:24:20.114
<v Speaker 3>we do is that it should be based on reciprocity.

0:24:20.874 --> 0:24:24.313
<v Speaker 3>So it should be me having a conversation with someone

0:24:24.714 --> 0:24:31.594
<v Speaker 3>and they say, oh, I had horrible postnail depression with

0:24:31.634 --> 0:24:34.033
<v Speaker 3>my child, and like, oh my gosh, how hard is

0:24:34.034 --> 0:24:36.754
<v Speaker 3>it those few months? And that is how you develop

0:24:36.874 --> 0:24:40.234
<v Speaker 3>a relationship, where you go just a little bit deeper,

0:24:40.274 --> 0:24:42.954
<v Speaker 3>a little bit deeper, and you take turns. That has

0:24:43.114 --> 0:24:46.434
<v Speaker 3>changed in twenty twenty six where so much of our

0:24:46.474 --> 0:24:49.674
<v Speaker 3>sharing is one way. Like the weird thing about Harry

0:24:49.754 --> 0:24:53.674
<v Speaker 3>and that Olympian is that there was no reciprocity. It

0:24:53.714 --> 0:24:57.354
<v Speaker 3>was just them. It's just Harry being like, let me

0:24:57.354 --> 0:24:57.754
<v Speaker 3>tell you a.

0:24:57.674 --> 0:24:58.954
<v Speaker 1>Story in person.

0:24:59.354 --> 0:25:02.354
<v Speaker 4>We would then reciprocate to Harry with a story about

0:25:02.354 --> 0:25:04.954
<v Speaker 4>our private parts, and then we'd become closer us.

0:25:04.914 --> 0:25:07.074
<v Speaker 3>And we'd warm up to the penis.

0:25:07.354 --> 0:25:10.154
<v Speaker 2>So I think oversharing is what, as I say, is

0:25:10.154 --> 0:25:12.434
<v Speaker 2>the fuel of social media knowing what's going on in

0:25:12.434 --> 0:25:15.914
<v Speaker 2>people's lives. But it's been there's a sort of snobbery

0:25:15.954 --> 0:25:18.594
<v Speaker 2>about it. And so is this information, this article, this

0:25:18.754 --> 0:25:21.074
<v Speaker 2>idea that we should be less judged.

0:25:21.154 --> 0:25:24.114
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I think that's perfectly put and let me talk

0:25:24.154 --> 0:25:26.273
<v Speaker 4>you through the four steps, because they did get me

0:25:26.394 --> 0:25:31.474
<v Speaker 4>thinking about how I can maybe sprinkle a little bit

0:25:31.474 --> 0:25:34.714
<v Speaker 4>of Team I throughout my life to enrich and deepen

0:25:34.834 --> 0:25:38.354
<v Speaker 4>my relationships. Number One, you're meant to do an audit

0:25:38.794 --> 0:25:42.434
<v Speaker 4>of your daily life and identify those opportunities at which

0:25:42.474 --> 0:25:44.794
<v Speaker 4>you could have shared more. Now I think we all

0:25:44.834 --> 0:25:47.354
<v Speaker 4>have those, right. Maybe you're talking to a colleague you

0:25:47.394 --> 0:25:49.594
<v Speaker 4>don't know that well. They ask you how your weekend was.

0:25:49.634 --> 0:25:53.154
<v Speaker 4>That's a classic decision point where you have to decide

0:25:53.194 --> 0:25:54.793
<v Speaker 4>how much to share. You can either be like, it

0:25:54.834 --> 0:25:57.994
<v Speaker 4>was great, very relaxing, thank you, or you can tell

0:25:57.994 --> 0:26:00.394
<v Speaker 4>them about the stomach bug you had on Saturday night.

0:26:00.554 --> 0:26:04.554
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is a very good example because so if

0:26:04.554 --> 0:26:06.954
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to build a relationship with someone and I'm

0:26:06.994 --> 0:26:09.234
<v Speaker 2>in kitchen at work and they I say, how is

0:26:09.274 --> 0:26:12.714
<v Speaker 2>your weekend? And they say, I was actually really depressed

0:26:12.754 --> 0:26:16.914
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday. I've broken up with my partner and I

0:26:16.954 --> 0:26:21.634
<v Speaker 2>spent the whole day crying in bed with my cat. Like,

0:26:21.714 --> 0:26:25.313
<v Speaker 2>the problem with that overshare is what I do with it.

0:26:25.674 --> 0:26:28.874
<v Speaker 2>You've given me as you've opened that door, and I

0:26:28.954 --> 0:26:32.794
<v Speaker 2>can't just go, oh, great, see you later. But really

0:26:32.834 --> 0:26:36.634
<v Speaker 2>really can't. So but that person sharing that with me

0:26:36.754 --> 0:26:38.634
<v Speaker 2>tells me that A they really needed to get it

0:26:38.674 --> 0:26:40.834
<v Speaker 2>off their chest, and B they are trying to build

0:26:40.874 --> 0:26:41.914
<v Speaker 2>an intimacy with me.

0:26:42.114 --> 0:26:43.994
<v Speaker 1>It is a bed, it's a bid, it's a.

0:26:43.994 --> 0:26:47.114
<v Speaker 2>Pedal, isn't it. It's like I'm reaching to you. So

0:26:47.994 --> 0:26:50.593
<v Speaker 2>then I have to say, oh, mate, that sounds terrible,

0:26:50.874 --> 0:26:51.634
<v Speaker 2>what happened?

0:26:52.714 --> 0:26:55.634
<v Speaker 4>Or share a struggle in your own weekend, because we've

0:26:55.674 --> 0:26:58.434
<v Speaker 4>all got there. I have to go, oh, yeah, yeah,

0:26:58.474 --> 0:26:59.674
<v Speaker 4>I've got a problem too.

0:27:01.274 --> 0:27:02.434
<v Speaker 1>So here's step two.

0:27:02.834 --> 0:27:06.033
<v Speaker 4>Consider the cost of not sharing what popped into your

0:27:06.074 --> 0:27:08.354
<v Speaker 4>mind because I think too often. I think the point

0:27:08.394 --> 0:27:11.793
<v Speaker 4>that Leslie is making here is that we too often

0:27:12.034 --> 0:27:14.594
<v Speaker 4>we overthink it and that's why we don't end up oversharing.

0:27:14.634 --> 0:27:16.273
<v Speaker 1>But she's saying, how bad can.

0:27:16.154 --> 0:27:18.394
<v Speaker 4>It be to just open up a little bit more,

0:27:18.514 --> 0:27:19.754
<v Speaker 4>Just be a little bit more open.

0:27:20.434 --> 0:27:21.754
<v Speaker 1>Step three starts more.

0:27:22.194 --> 0:27:24.954
<v Speaker 4>I think perhaps the example you just gave that person

0:27:25.354 --> 0:27:26.314
<v Speaker 4>gave a little.

0:27:26.034 --> 0:27:27.394
<v Speaker 1>Bit too much information to you.

0:27:27.874 --> 0:27:29.954
<v Speaker 4>And then four, which I think is interesting, you do

0:27:30.034 --> 0:27:33.474
<v Speaker 4>have to ask questions. She says that people assume that

0:27:33.914 --> 0:27:36.234
<v Speaker 4>you don't want to pry, but in fact, people want

0:27:36.274 --> 0:27:38.914
<v Speaker 4>to be asked questions and they don't think of them

0:27:38.954 --> 0:27:41.874
<v Speaker 4>as invasive because they're just really to be talking about themselves.

0:27:42.194 --> 0:27:45.394
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's really interesting. I don't know is this British

0:27:45.474 --> 0:27:47.994
<v Speaker 2>or is this personality or what. But like, I'm quite

0:27:47.994 --> 0:27:50.513
<v Speaker 2>good at keeping other people's secrets. Say, I know that

0:27:50.554 --> 0:27:53.353
<v Speaker 2>something's going on in your life, right, So I know

0:27:53.434 --> 0:27:55.074
<v Speaker 2>that something's going on in your life. That's a bit

0:27:55.114 --> 0:27:57.194
<v Speaker 2>tricky and it's challenging, but you're getting on with your

0:27:57.314 --> 0:27:59.033
<v Speaker 2>you're getting on with work. We don't all want to

0:27:59.034 --> 0:28:02.114
<v Speaker 2>be stopped every two minutes for everyone to go, how

0:28:02.194 --> 0:28:04.513
<v Speaker 2>do your mum or whatever it is? Right, I'm going

0:28:04.594 --> 0:28:06.754
<v Speaker 2>to absolutely respect that, and I'm not really going to

0:28:06.794 --> 0:28:08.474
<v Speaker 2>talk to you about it much. Every now and again,

0:28:08.514 --> 0:28:10.434
<v Speaker 2>I'll give you a little arm squeeze and be like,

0:28:10.914 --> 0:28:14.234
<v Speaker 2>you're right. But that might be seen as cold, but

0:28:14.394 --> 0:28:16.954
<v Speaker 2>I assume that people don't want to talk about it,

0:28:17.154 --> 0:28:17.754
<v Speaker 2>do you know what I mean?

0:28:17.994 --> 0:28:19.874
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's why it's so interesting that the three of

0:28:19.914 --> 0:28:23.273
<v Speaker 4>us are sitting here, because Holly, you come from a

0:28:23.354 --> 0:28:28.434
<v Speaker 4>culture of not oversharing. I have spent many years in

0:28:28.474 --> 0:28:31.154
<v Speaker 4>the US, which I would say errs on the side

0:28:31.234 --> 0:28:34.994
<v Speaker 4>of TMI. One quick story is that when I started

0:28:35.074 --> 0:28:37.513
<v Speaker 4>university in the US, I was meeting my roommates for

0:28:37.554 --> 0:28:39.354
<v Speaker 4>the first time. We were going around in a circle

0:28:39.434 --> 0:28:41.954
<v Speaker 4>saying our name and where we were from. I said,

0:28:42.194 --> 0:28:45.314
<v Speaker 4>I'm Amelia. I'm from Sydney, Australia. Next person next to

0:28:45.354 --> 0:28:48.114
<v Speaker 4>me says, I'm so and so and I have an

0:28:48.154 --> 0:28:52.314
<v Speaker 4>eating disorder. Wow, And I thought, okay, it's great to

0:28:52.434 --> 0:28:55.354
<v Speaker 4>know that on first blush. And it really set me

0:28:55.474 --> 0:28:59.034
<v Speaker 4>up for Americans and how they as a rule operate,

0:28:59.034 --> 0:29:01.154
<v Speaker 4>the rough three hundred million of them. But as a rule,

0:29:01.634 --> 0:29:06.834
<v Speaker 4>particularly when it comes to topics around the body, sex, money,

0:29:07.514 --> 0:29:10.154
<v Speaker 4>I would say that Americans are much more inclined to

0:29:10.194 --> 0:29:12.634
<v Speaker 4>share details. They'll tell you New Yorkers certainly will tell

0:29:12.634 --> 0:29:14.754
<v Speaker 4>you how much money they're paying rent. Can you imagine

0:29:14.754 --> 0:29:16.594
<v Speaker 4>a city side of opening up about that?

0:29:16.794 --> 0:29:17.594
<v Speaker 2>And interesting the.

0:29:17.554 --> 0:29:20.474
<v Speaker 4>Fact that prices are always withheld on houses here I

0:29:20.514 --> 0:29:23.754
<v Speaker 4>find so interesting because it just speaks to this desired

0:29:23.994 --> 0:29:24.754
<v Speaker 4>to be private.

0:29:24.794 --> 0:29:26.554
<v Speaker 2>Would an American ask you how much you earn?

0:29:27.194 --> 0:29:30.914
<v Speaker 4>No, because that intersects with capitalism, and they don't want

0:29:30.914 --> 0:29:32.954
<v Speaker 4>to tell you that because then.

0:29:32.834 --> 0:29:36.754
<v Speaker 1>They might have their own earning powers like diminished.

0:29:36.314 --> 0:29:38.034
<v Speaker 2>In some way. They would ask you how much your

0:29:38.034 --> 0:29:38.474
<v Speaker 2>house costs.

0:29:38.474 --> 0:29:40.474
<v Speaker 1>They would absolutely ask you how much your house costs.

0:29:40.474 --> 0:29:42.434
<v Speaker 4>They expect you to tell them how much an item

0:29:42.474 --> 0:29:44.914
<v Speaker 4>of clothing is if you compliment them on it. So

0:29:45.074 --> 0:29:47.874
<v Speaker 4>we have Claire here to kind of mediate between the

0:29:47.914 --> 0:29:50.474
<v Speaker 4>two of us and to because I do think Australia

0:29:50.514 --> 0:29:53.394
<v Speaker 4>sits somewhere between the UK and the US in terms

0:29:53.434 --> 0:29:55.634
<v Speaker 4>of overshare. What do you think of the topics that

0:29:55.674 --> 0:29:57.994
<v Speaker 4>Australians will not talk about.

0:29:58.634 --> 0:30:01.634
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think what's weird about Australia is that

0:30:01.754 --> 0:30:06.834
<v Speaker 3>some of those topics we joke about where the undertone

0:30:07.314 --> 0:30:12.194
<v Speaker 3>is kind of oversharing, and Americans don't necessarily share the

0:30:12.274 --> 0:30:13.434
<v Speaker 3>sense of humor.

0:30:14.394 --> 0:30:15.914
<v Speaker 1>Just talk about an example.

0:30:15.874 --> 0:30:21.194
<v Speaker 3>So I joke a lot about like I'll be like

0:30:21.354 --> 0:30:28.434
<v Speaker 3>I'm poor or just yes exactly so, like or I'll

0:30:28.554 --> 0:30:32.154
<v Speaker 3>joke about my family in a self deprecating way, or

0:30:32.594 --> 0:30:35.474
<v Speaker 3>so my now husband and I lived in the West

0:30:35.474 --> 0:30:38.194
<v Speaker 3>three year and he was going to a music college.

0:30:38.514 --> 0:30:41.834
<v Speaker 3>And on his first day he walked in and somebody

0:30:41.914 --> 0:30:43.554
<v Speaker 3>was like, what instrument do you play? And where he's

0:30:43.554 --> 0:30:45.914
<v Speaker 3>like a pay piano and he's like, so, how good

0:30:45.914 --> 0:30:47.874
<v Speaker 3>are you? And where he's like, oh, I I don't know,

0:30:48.194 --> 0:30:51.794
<v Speaker 3>I'm okay, and this guy was just like, if you're okay,

0:30:51.834 --> 0:30:54.154
<v Speaker 3>then why are you here? Like you know what I mean.

0:30:54.314 --> 0:30:56.394
<v Speaker 1>Like, it's kind of pretty good.

0:30:58.354 --> 0:31:00.834
<v Speaker 3>I absorbed it for a year. But it's like, I

0:31:00.874 --> 0:31:04.834
<v Speaker 3>think our way of oversharing or showing vulnerability is through

0:31:04.874 --> 0:31:08.354
<v Speaker 3>self deprecations. It's not as frank, right.

0:31:08.234 --> 0:31:10.754
<v Speaker 2>What about the idea. You know, there's a stereotype that

0:31:10.794 --> 0:31:12.434
<v Speaker 2>I think is true to a point that groups of

0:31:12.474 --> 0:31:18.954
<v Speaker 2>women overshare quickly and early to establish trust, yeah, and

0:31:19.034 --> 0:31:22.274
<v Speaker 2>vulnerability and the fact that they are not a threat.

0:31:22.754 --> 0:31:24.874
<v Speaker 2>So you see those memes all the time of like

0:31:24.994 --> 0:31:28.074
<v Speaker 2>women after five minutes, where they like it starts with Hi,

0:31:28.154 --> 0:31:29.514
<v Speaker 2>how are you, And before you know it, it's like

0:31:29.514 --> 0:31:31.354
<v Speaker 2>and then my father left and then I ended up,

0:31:31.794 --> 0:31:34.154
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, that's just her women roll me. It

0:31:34.234 --> 0:31:35.914
<v Speaker 2>is very good at that she was one of the

0:31:35.954 --> 0:31:38.674
<v Speaker 2>reasons why she's great in like a business or a

0:31:38.674 --> 0:31:40.754
<v Speaker 2>social situation. People you don't know. She'll just go up

0:31:40.754 --> 0:31:45.474
<v Speaker 2>to them and be like you look sad, and some

0:31:45.514 --> 0:31:48.514
<v Speaker 2>people really respond to that or whatever the equivalent of

0:31:48.514 --> 0:31:49.754
<v Speaker 2>that is, And before you know it, they're telling you

0:31:49.794 --> 0:31:52.994
<v Speaker 2>what they're at, what medications they're on what they had

0:31:52.994 --> 0:31:56.074
<v Speaker 2>for breakfast, how many times they have sex, whatever. I

0:31:56.154 --> 0:31:57.554
<v Speaker 2>don't like that too early.

0:31:57.754 --> 0:32:00.154
<v Speaker 4>But then how are you making the friendships? Because I

0:32:00.194 --> 0:32:01.914
<v Speaker 4>do think that's a big part of it.

0:32:02.034 --> 0:32:04.474
<v Speaker 2>If I'm a a girl's dinner in commerce and there,

0:32:04.914 --> 0:32:06.874
<v Speaker 2>and I might not know everybody, it takes me a

0:32:06.914 --> 0:32:09.914
<v Speaker 2>while to warm to that. Somebody goes straight in with

0:32:10.034 --> 0:32:13.474
<v Speaker 2>their childhood trauma or their eating disorder to your point

0:32:13.994 --> 0:32:17.514
<v Speaker 2>or whatever and a thing or their relationship messages. I

0:32:17.554 --> 0:32:20.394
<v Speaker 2>always think, why are you telling me that you don't

0:32:20.394 --> 0:32:22.474
<v Speaker 2>know if you can trust me? Maybe that's it, Like

0:32:22.554 --> 0:32:24.754
<v Speaker 2>there's a you know what I mean. I would never

0:32:24.794 --> 0:32:27.554
<v Speaker 2>share in a circle.

0:32:27.394 --> 0:32:30.914
<v Speaker 3>Of people you knew how about it work? Because my

0:32:31.834 --> 0:32:35.474
<v Speaker 3>sense about oversharing in the workplace is that and I

0:32:35.474 --> 0:32:38.274
<v Speaker 3>feel like I've learned the hard way by oversharing. And

0:32:38.314 --> 0:32:42.074
<v Speaker 3>we have a weird workplace where you sort of do

0:32:42.274 --> 0:32:46.114
<v Speaker 3>overshare publicly in the space that you work. And I

0:32:46.154 --> 0:32:49.474
<v Speaker 3>feel like as a leader, when I was editor in

0:32:49.554 --> 0:32:56.074
<v Speaker 3>chief here, I was very I guess vulnerable oversharing about

0:32:56.514 --> 0:33:01.634
<v Speaker 3>my weaknesses, like I would be very self deprecating about

0:33:02.434 --> 0:33:05.514
<v Speaker 3>like I guess it's kind of weird to be running

0:33:05.514 --> 0:33:08.714
<v Speaker 3>a content team and then doing content where you're joking

0:33:08.714 --> 0:33:11.634
<v Speaker 3>about being lazy, and then kind of running a content

0:33:11.714 --> 0:33:15.354
<v Speaker 3>team and also being really transparent about the fact that

0:33:16.194 --> 0:33:19.554
<v Speaker 3>you're bad at confrontation and you're bad at being assertive.

0:33:19.754 --> 0:33:23.874
<v Speaker 4>But by the way, like the lazy girl trope, it

0:33:24.034 --> 0:33:26.834
<v Speaker 4>is a joke because you were the editor in chiefly

0:33:26.914 --> 0:33:29.674
<v Speaker 4>you have written a book. Like I think that's why

0:33:29.754 --> 0:33:32.354
<v Speaker 4>you felt able to make that joke. If we go

0:33:32.474 --> 0:33:35.274
<v Speaker 4>deep and we psychoanalyze it, yes, But.

0:33:35.394 --> 0:33:40.034
<v Speaker 3>I I wondered if people felt like they had more

0:33:40.114 --> 0:33:44.074
<v Speaker 3>license to say things. People would say things to me

0:33:44.114 --> 0:33:46.994
<v Speaker 3>where I was like, oh, I would never say that

0:33:47.074 --> 0:33:49.114
<v Speaker 3>to my boss, but maybe you feel like you can

0:33:49.154 --> 0:33:50.834
<v Speaker 3>say that to me because I've said that about me.

0:33:50.954 --> 0:33:52.594
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is the problem that you set up. So

0:33:52.714 --> 0:33:55.594
<v Speaker 2>let's imagine that you're Anthony Albanesi and you're running a cabinet,

0:33:55.634 --> 0:33:58.794
<v Speaker 2>right and you go and you're like, it's our first

0:33:58.914 --> 0:34:01.314
<v Speaker 2>day and we've all got to make sure we trust

0:34:01.354 --> 0:34:04.274
<v Speaker 2>each other. So you open with like, actually, I don't

0:34:04.274 --> 0:34:09.434
<v Speaker 2>know anything about the economy. I'm not saying that's true,

0:34:10.873 --> 0:34:13.473
<v Speaker 2>but I'm like, so thank god I've got you, you know,

0:34:13.634 --> 0:34:19.994
<v Speaker 2>Chancellor whatever, treasure Chancellor. I'm now in Britain Answer of

0:34:20.034 --> 0:34:22.953
<v Speaker 2>the Exchequer anyway, so thank god that I have got

0:34:22.954 --> 0:34:27.474
<v Speaker 2>my treasurer right. And that does not work. It doesn't work.

0:34:27.834 --> 0:34:31.154
<v Speaker 2>You have to pretend that you have no weaknesses, that

0:34:31.234 --> 0:34:35.154
<v Speaker 2>you know everything. But imagine that. Imagine applying the female

0:34:35.194 --> 0:34:38.873
<v Speaker 2>self deprecation to a really big male coded.

0:34:38.714 --> 0:34:42.154
<v Speaker 1>Job getting up there. I'm a bit of a lazy boy, exactly.

0:34:44.074 --> 0:34:46.794
<v Speaker 2>I've got to go and negotiate with like Trump and stuff,

0:34:46.794 --> 0:34:49.914
<v Speaker 2>but I hate it's going to be super awkward.

0:34:50.034 --> 0:34:53.794
<v Speaker 3>It's like, I'm.

0:34:53.594 --> 0:34:56.114
<v Speaker 2>So an anagram nine. I don't know what my chart's

0:34:56.154 --> 0:34:59.954
<v Speaker 2>saying today, Like it doesn't work, Yeah, gotcha. So, although

0:34:59.994 --> 0:35:03.474
<v Speaker 2>I understand this idea that like good leadership requires some vulnerability,

0:35:03.514 --> 0:35:06.154
<v Speaker 2>Brene Brown's written a hotcture. Her whole career is based

0:35:06.154 --> 0:35:08.593
<v Speaker 2>on that fact, right, is that good leaders do allow

0:35:08.634 --> 0:35:12.114
<v Speaker 2>themselves to be vulnerable. There has to be a point

0:35:12.114 --> 0:35:18.234
<v Speaker 2>at which it's like inside voice album, yeah, yeah, side voice,

0:35:18.554 --> 0:35:20.194
<v Speaker 2>you can add up it's okay.

0:35:20.394 --> 0:35:20.914
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:35:21.154 --> 0:35:23.554
<v Speaker 4>And I want to pour one out, especially for people

0:35:23.554 --> 0:35:26.634
<v Speaker 4>who are dating listening to this advice, because I think

0:35:26.834 --> 0:35:31.154
<v Speaker 4>dating is the hardest place to navigate these very complicated

0:35:31.194 --> 0:35:34.913
<v Speaker 4>dynamics around tumiin overshare, because it's the only time in

0:35:34.954 --> 0:35:37.234
<v Speaker 4>your life where you've just kind of expected to meet

0:35:37.274 --> 0:35:40.314
<v Speaker 4>someone who you've never met before, and then start talking

0:35:40.394 --> 0:35:45.394
<v Speaker 4>about your family dynamics and presumably like your romantic history

0:35:45.474 --> 0:35:49.034
<v Speaker 4>and your deepest, darkest fears and aspirations for the future,

0:35:49.394 --> 0:35:52.354
<v Speaker 4>and then guess what, you may be rejected for sharing

0:35:52.394 --> 0:35:52.913
<v Speaker 4>all of that.

0:35:53.114 --> 0:35:56.074
<v Speaker 3>And you won't know what it was that you share,

0:35:56.194 --> 0:35:57.514
<v Speaker 3>no that made you reject.

0:35:57.754 --> 0:36:00.194
<v Speaker 4>And I think the thing that I found most challenging

0:36:00.234 --> 0:36:03.314
<v Speaker 4>about my years of dating was that you have a

0:36:03.354 --> 0:36:06.474
<v Speaker 4>lot of regret about sharing too much. You know that feeling.

0:36:06.474 --> 0:36:08.794
<v Speaker 4>It gets almost like a hangover. In fact, it's often

0:36:08.954 --> 0:36:12.593
<v Speaker 4>coinciding with a hangover. Interestingly, maybe there's a correlation there

0:36:12.834 --> 0:36:15.393
<v Speaker 4>where you feel like you've given too much to this

0:36:15.514 --> 0:36:19.434
<v Speaker 4>stranger and you feel really icky about ability.

0:36:19.034 --> 0:36:23.314
<v Speaker 2>Hangover after the break in the middle of an escalating conflict,

0:36:23.514 --> 0:36:27.274
<v Speaker 2>Why are there so many headlines about influencers stuck in

0:36:27.354 --> 0:36:39.074
<v Speaker 2>Dubai among the influx of news stories about the deeply

0:36:39.194 --> 0:36:42.674
<v Speaker 2>serious escalation of conflict in Iran at the moment and

0:36:42.714 --> 0:36:45.834
<v Speaker 2>the quickie of course, our news podcast will have all

0:36:45.834 --> 0:36:49.034
<v Speaker 2>those developments as they're happening day by day. We kind

0:36:49.034 --> 0:36:52.994
<v Speaker 2>of wanted to look at this almost strange, peculiar phenomena

0:36:53.074 --> 0:36:55.994
<v Speaker 2>of all the stories about the influencers who are stranded

0:36:55.994 --> 0:36:59.274
<v Speaker 2>in Dubai, content creators from all over the world who

0:36:59.314 --> 0:37:01.834
<v Speaker 2>are now wrestling with what to make of bombs falling

0:37:01.874 --> 0:37:05.354
<v Speaker 2>on their previously paradise playground.

0:37:05.474 --> 0:37:05.634
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:37:06.194 --> 0:37:09.514
<v Speaker 2>I heard this really interesting segment about this on the

0:37:09.514 --> 0:37:12.594
<v Speaker 2>Rest is Entertainment today and hattiped to them for like

0:37:12.674 --> 0:37:15.433
<v Speaker 2>putting some context for me around something that I keep

0:37:15.514 --> 0:37:17.513
<v Speaker 2>seeing all these stories, and I was like, but why

0:37:17.554 --> 0:37:20.874
<v Speaker 2>are there so many influencers in Dubai. I didn't really

0:37:20.914 --> 0:37:22.953
<v Speaker 2>know that world existed to the point that it does,

0:37:23.114 --> 0:37:25.794
<v Speaker 2>and that now those people all have this front seat

0:37:26.114 --> 0:37:30.074
<v Speaker 2>to this unfolding war and they're kind of being asked

0:37:30.154 --> 0:37:34.154
<v Speaker 2>to document it, right when usually they're more look at

0:37:34.154 --> 0:37:38.194
<v Speaker 2>my shoes and my fancy yacht. A little bit of context,

0:37:38.634 --> 0:37:40.873
<v Speaker 2>Dubai is known as the influencer capital of the world.

0:37:40.994 --> 0:37:42.913
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know that, did you guys know that?

0:37:43.034 --> 0:37:43.434
<v Speaker 1>I did not.

0:37:43.754 --> 0:37:48.074
<v Speaker 3>I didn't, But for a long time I've seen beautiful

0:37:48.114 --> 0:37:52.114
<v Speaker 3>people in Dubai and wondered, what's the go with that?

0:37:52.194 --> 0:37:54.433
<v Speaker 2>Well, the go with that as it turns out. And

0:37:54.474 --> 0:37:57.594
<v Speaker 2>obviously I'm not going to get deep into immigration law here,

0:37:58.114 --> 0:38:00.634
<v Speaker 2>but Dbai, I'm sure lots of people know this, and

0:38:00.674 --> 0:38:02.034
<v Speaker 2>I know that we have a lot of listeners in

0:38:02.074 --> 0:38:04.354
<v Speaker 2>that part of the world too, So please excuse my

0:38:04.474 --> 0:38:08.914
<v Speaker 2>simplistic explanation. But obviously do Ubay has a big population

0:38:08.954 --> 0:38:11.234
<v Speaker 2>of people who are not from there. They say that

0:38:11.274 --> 0:38:15.234
<v Speaker 2>about ninety two percent of workers in Dubai are not

0:38:15.634 --> 0:38:19.873
<v Speaker 2>from Dubai. They're from somewhere else. Lots of diversity within that,

0:38:20.074 --> 0:38:22.954
<v Speaker 2>both in terms of nationalities and of the level and

0:38:23.074 --> 0:38:26.114
<v Speaker 2>reward of jobs that those people are doing. Right, on

0:38:26.154 --> 0:38:29.554
<v Speaker 2>the one hand, there have been ongoing lots of significant

0:38:29.634 --> 0:38:32.954
<v Speaker 2>human rights concerns about the conditions for a lot of

0:38:32.954 --> 0:38:35.433
<v Speaker 2>workers in areas like construction who live and work in

0:38:35.434 --> 0:38:39.393
<v Speaker 2>this extreme situation. And on the other it's long been

0:38:39.394 --> 0:38:43.433
<v Speaker 2>a place for white collar so called expats to go

0:38:43.474 --> 0:38:46.994
<v Speaker 2>and work in areas like finance and tourism and increasingly

0:38:47.074 --> 0:38:50.274
<v Speaker 2>things like crypto and tech and all of that kind

0:38:50.274 --> 0:38:53.354
<v Speaker 2>of stuff. So all that's happening, and then in recent

0:38:53.434 --> 0:38:58.274
<v Speaker 2>years Dubai have actively courted influencers and content creators to

0:38:58.354 --> 0:39:02.034
<v Speaker 2>come base themselves out of there, make content about what

0:39:02.154 --> 0:39:05.514
<v Speaker 2>an amazing place it is. They offer these special visas.

0:39:05.554 --> 0:39:08.194
<v Speaker 2>They it's something called a ten year Golden visa, which

0:39:08.234 --> 0:39:09.993
<v Speaker 2>gives you, you know, sort of you can stay there

0:39:09.994 --> 0:39:12.393
<v Speaker 2>and live there. And most of these visas you just

0:39:12.474 --> 0:39:14.354
<v Speaker 2>have to prove that you have a bit of a following,

0:39:14.514 --> 0:39:16.033
<v Speaker 2>you prove what you're going to do, and then you'll

0:39:16.034 --> 0:39:18.194
<v Speaker 2>pay a small fee. But while you're living and working there,

0:39:18.194 --> 0:39:20.634
<v Speaker 2>you pay no income tax. So that's why it becomes

0:39:21.434 --> 0:39:24.314
<v Speaker 2>such an attractive place. And they've set up like working

0:39:24.394 --> 0:39:27.714
<v Speaker 2>hubs specifically for digital content creators that will have podcast

0:39:27.794 --> 0:39:31.394
<v Speaker 2>studios and cameras and all these things, and then people

0:39:31.554 --> 0:39:33.834
<v Speaker 2>will work there and so what might happen? And there

0:39:33.874 --> 0:39:36.274
<v Speaker 2>are some nostronomers in this obviously, but it's a well

0:39:36.314 --> 0:39:38.954
<v Speaker 2>worn path now for sort of say you were on

0:39:39.074 --> 0:39:42.794
<v Speaker 2>Love Island, UK and you come out with a significant following,

0:39:43.434 --> 0:39:45.873
<v Speaker 2>it's an attractive offer to be like, why don't you

0:39:45.914 --> 0:39:48.314
<v Speaker 2>go and base yourself out of Dubai for a year

0:39:48.434 --> 0:39:50.194
<v Speaker 2>or two or you know, six months of the year,

0:39:50.354 --> 0:39:54.394
<v Speaker 2>escape the British winter, make content, don't payny tax banks

0:39:54.434 --> 0:39:58.394
<v Speaker 2>some money go have and is the main role.

0:39:58.274 --> 0:40:02.074
<v Speaker 3>Of those influencers meant to be tourism.

0:40:02.474 --> 0:40:04.994
<v Speaker 2>Well, a lot of it is to promote Dubai in itself.

0:40:05.114 --> 0:40:08.034
<v Speaker 2>They come these visas with a certain see not all

0:40:08.074 --> 0:40:10.354
<v Speaker 2>of course, but some certain sort of rules around. You

0:40:10.394 --> 0:40:12.314
<v Speaker 2>have to present the UA in a positive light. You

0:40:12.354 --> 0:40:14.794
<v Speaker 2>can't criticize the government and that kind of thing. But

0:40:14.874 --> 0:40:18.073
<v Speaker 2>you might be doing private deals with brands out of there,

0:40:18.514 --> 0:40:21.114
<v Speaker 2>or you might be doing tourism stuff. And the tone

0:40:21.154 --> 0:40:24.074
<v Speaker 2>of a lot of this content is I get to

0:40:24.114 --> 0:40:28.074
<v Speaker 2>live this amazing life in and crucially a safe place.

0:40:28.674 --> 0:40:31.434
<v Speaker 2>So for the British influence, there is a very strong

0:40:31.514 --> 0:40:33.913
<v Speaker 2>vibe of this is like I can walk down the

0:40:33.954 --> 0:40:37.154
<v Speaker 2>street wearing my sixty thousand dollars rolex and no one's

0:40:37.154 --> 0:40:39.473
<v Speaker 2>going to mug me for it. Like even while this

0:40:39.834 --> 0:40:42.874
<v Speaker 2>missiles are falling, now there's a massive British content creator

0:40:42.914 --> 0:40:46.234
<v Speaker 2>lives there who's posting like even with bombs falling, Dubai

0:40:46.274 --> 0:40:48.433
<v Speaker 2>is still safeer them walking in London after nine pm,

0:40:48.594 --> 0:40:52.874
<v Speaker 2>Like there's this that's a vibe that happens right anyway. Obviously,

0:40:52.954 --> 0:40:55.754
<v Speaker 2>what has happened as we know, massive instability in the region.

0:40:56.074 --> 0:41:00.433
<v Speaker 2>Missiles are falling and flights are canceled, and now a

0:41:00.434 --> 0:41:03.873
<v Speaker 2>certain number of influencers are obviously documenting that and attracting

0:41:03.914 --> 0:41:07.074
<v Speaker 2>some criticism for doing it. There's an Australian woman called

0:41:07.234 --> 0:41:10.393
<v Speaker 2>Louise Starky, for example, and she's getting some grief for

0:41:10.474 --> 0:41:13.794
<v Speaker 2>posting from her apartment balcony you can see a missile

0:41:13.874 --> 0:41:16.714
<v Speaker 2>falling and she's taken it down. So that's why we're

0:41:16.754 --> 0:41:18.674
<v Speaker 2>not going to play it for you. She says, I'm scared.

0:41:18.714 --> 0:41:20.433
<v Speaker 2>I'm actually so scared, and then she says, it's not

0:41:20.474 --> 0:41:24.474
<v Speaker 2>meant to be happening here. Can't everyone just chill out?

0:41:25.554 --> 0:41:28.354
<v Speaker 2>She got a lot of derision for that, and quite

0:41:28.354 --> 0:41:30.154
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the influence is a copying a fair

0:41:30.194 --> 0:41:33.473
<v Speaker 2>amount of grief for that. What do we think are

0:41:33.474 --> 0:41:37.754
<v Speaker 2>we expecting these content creators to suddenly turn into war correspondence.

0:41:37.914 --> 0:41:39.714
<v Speaker 3>I mean, the idea of it's not meant to be

0:41:39.834 --> 0:41:43.594
<v Speaker 3>happening here, that's been accused of kind of being riddled

0:41:43.594 --> 0:41:48.114
<v Speaker 3>with a lot of entitlement and almost arrogance that it's

0:41:48.154 --> 0:41:51.714
<v Speaker 3>allowed to happen in the country next door, but it

0:41:51.714 --> 0:41:54.434
<v Speaker 3>shouldn't be happening to me. I do think what's interesting

0:41:54.434 --> 0:41:59.154
<v Speaker 3>about the influencer conversation is when the world gets really

0:41:59.194 --> 0:42:02.354
<v Speaker 3>scary and really complex and there is a conflict of

0:42:02.634 --> 0:42:05.393
<v Speaker 3>the proportions of which we know we have no control over.

0:42:05.674 --> 0:42:09.074
<v Speaker 3>I don't have any control over who bombs who, and

0:42:09.394 --> 0:42:14.234
<v Speaker 3>that is sickening. I think sometimes looking at influences is

0:42:14.234 --> 0:42:18.033
<v Speaker 3>the easiest way to prosecute injustice, and so we look

0:42:18.074 --> 0:42:22.433
<v Speaker 3>at somebody like Louise Staky and we're like, well, I

0:42:22.474 --> 0:42:25.754
<v Speaker 3>can't have a conversation with Trump about how maybe he

0:42:25.794 --> 0:42:29.593
<v Speaker 3>should be a bit more careful about starting military action,

0:42:30.314 --> 0:42:33.834
<v Speaker 3>but I can comment on Louise Darky's post and be like,

0:42:33.914 --> 0:42:35.754
<v Speaker 3>this is insensitive and you're a monster.

0:42:35.834 --> 0:42:37.874
<v Speaker 1>That's so interesting. I think that's true.

0:42:38.154 --> 0:42:40.913
<v Speaker 4>I think that why we can't look away from this

0:42:41.154 --> 0:42:45.873
<v Speaker 4>is because the promise that those influences were made was

0:42:45.914 --> 0:42:48.034
<v Speaker 4>that they would be in the Middle East, but they

0:42:48.114 --> 0:42:51.234
<v Speaker 4>actually could have been anywhere. They weren't really in the

0:42:51.234 --> 0:42:55.394
<v Speaker 4>Middle East. They were kind of in this Disneyland version

0:42:55.954 --> 0:42:56.354
<v Speaker 4>in the.

0:42:56.274 --> 0:42:57.754
<v Speaker 1>Desert of the Middle East.

0:42:57.954 --> 0:43:01.394
<v Speaker 4>So one real I saw from one of these influences

0:43:01.914 --> 0:43:04.473
<v Speaker 4>proudly said she was probably saying that after two years

0:43:04.514 --> 0:43:07.314
<v Speaker 4>in Jubai, she didn't know anything about Ramadan and it's

0:43:07.394 --> 0:43:09.873
<v Speaker 4>rituals now nor do I, by the way, But I

0:43:09.914 --> 0:43:11.834
<v Speaker 4>think the issue is that if you've been living for

0:43:11.874 --> 0:43:15.794
<v Speaker 4>two years in the United Arab Emirates, you should probably

0:43:15.834 --> 0:43:17.354
<v Speaker 4>know something about Ramadan.

0:43:17.474 --> 0:43:19.354
<v Speaker 1>But that was part of the appeal. They didn't have

0:43:19.434 --> 0:43:20.074
<v Speaker 1>to know anything.

0:43:20.114 --> 0:43:23.434
<v Speaker 3>But that's interesting because I've spent maybe three days in Dubai.

0:43:23.554 --> 0:43:26.434
<v Speaker 3>I stayed there and I was oblivious and didn't know

0:43:26.474 --> 0:43:28.354
<v Speaker 3>it was Ramadan at the time because it was a

0:43:28.394 --> 0:43:32.354
<v Speaker 3>stopover coming back from Europe. And I knew it was Ramadan,

0:43:32.994 --> 0:43:35.674
<v Speaker 3>like that was in the hotel, that was everywhere. And

0:43:36.274 --> 0:43:40.114
<v Speaker 3>the thing about being there is that, yes, it feels

0:43:40.154 --> 0:43:43.794
<v Speaker 3>like you're in Jess and I both said, it feels

0:43:43.794 --> 0:43:45.834
<v Speaker 3>like a fake world. You go to this.

0:43:45.954 --> 0:43:48.873
<v Speaker 4>In fact, there's a fake world of islands some off

0:43:48.874 --> 0:43:49.714
<v Speaker 4>the coast of Germany.

0:43:49.794 --> 0:43:52.114
<v Speaker 3>I'm made like you go to this shopping center and

0:43:52.114 --> 0:43:54.474
<v Speaker 3>it's the biggest shopping center in the world, and you

0:43:54.554 --> 0:43:57.234
<v Speaker 3>see the Burj Khalifa, which is the tallest building in

0:43:57.234 --> 0:43:59.554
<v Speaker 3>the world, and you're blown away by all of this.

0:44:00.394 --> 0:44:02.873
<v Speaker 3>You're very aware of where you are. I found and

0:44:03.234 --> 0:44:08.354
<v Speaker 3>I remember when we were landing, I was reading Fifty

0:44:08.354 --> 0:44:10.993
<v Speaker 3>Shades of Gray, which you mainked.

0:44:10.714 --> 0:44:13.393
<v Speaker 1>Because it's very appropriate to that destination.

0:44:13.594 --> 0:44:16.114
<v Speaker 3>Well, and the flight attendant tapped me on the shoulder

0:44:16.154 --> 0:44:19.354
<v Speaker 3>and said, you can't read that here. Yeah, so they

0:44:19.394 --> 0:44:23.194
<v Speaker 3>definitely are those kind of I don't know those sign

0:44:23.274 --> 0:44:25.033
<v Speaker 3>posts about where you are there are.

0:44:25.234 --> 0:44:27.154
<v Speaker 4>But at the same time, I just want to say

0:44:27.154 --> 0:44:31.074
<v Speaker 4>that I really feel for all the Australians who are

0:44:31.114 --> 0:44:34.234
<v Speaker 4>in that region right now, because what is happening is

0:44:34.394 --> 0:44:39.794
<v Speaker 4>very unprecedented and shocking to a lot of the countries

0:44:39.834 --> 0:44:43.274
<v Speaker 4>in this region who thought that they were insulated from

0:44:43.434 --> 0:44:44.674
<v Speaker 4>the dynamics of.

0:44:45.354 --> 0:44:46.834
<v Speaker 1>The more hot spot areas.

0:44:47.034 --> 0:44:49.834
<v Speaker 4>So you know, I don't think that anyone could have

0:44:49.954 --> 0:44:53.074
<v Speaker 4>foreseen this future even a week ago. And when I

0:44:53.154 --> 0:44:56.314
<v Speaker 4>saw on Monday that the US State Department had issued

0:44:56.314 --> 0:44:58.954
<v Speaker 4>this warning to all Americans in the Middle East, basically

0:44:59.034 --> 0:45:02.994
<v Speaker 4>the entire Middle East, to leave immediately, my heart sank

0:45:03.034 --> 0:45:04.994
<v Speaker 4>for all these people because it's not going to be

0:45:05.034 --> 0:45:06.913
<v Speaker 4>easy for them to leave either. By the way, this

0:45:07.154 --> 0:45:10.594
<v Speaker 4>Alien government's advice is more modulated than that. It's it's

0:45:10.634 --> 0:45:14.354
<v Speaker 4>on the Defact website and it advises people to register

0:45:14.474 --> 0:45:18.234
<v Speaker 4>with their local consults and embassies and to make plans

0:45:18.234 --> 0:45:21.834
<v Speaker 4>to leave. But nonetheless, lots of flights are canceled hundreds,

0:45:22.034 --> 0:45:24.634
<v Speaker 4>even thousands of flights are canceled. There's no real way out.

0:45:24.714 --> 0:45:27.954
<v Speaker 4>People are trying to plot like overland routes. It is

0:45:27.994 --> 0:45:31.154
<v Speaker 4>a very scary situation that I don't think anyone could

0:45:31.194 --> 0:45:32.354
<v Speaker 4>have predicted.

0:45:32.034 --> 0:45:34.794
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, And I think that you're right, Claire, that there

0:45:34.914 --> 0:45:38.834
<v Speaker 2>is a certain shaden freud we're seeing in the I've

0:45:38.834 --> 0:45:42.474
<v Speaker 2>seen cartoons of like sort of lots of real housewife

0:45:42.514 --> 0:45:44.393
<v Speaker 2>looking kind of women trying to get on planes and

0:45:44.434 --> 0:45:48.874
<v Speaker 2>they're like, do buy evacuation, and it's very sneery and snobby,

0:45:48.914 --> 0:45:51.354
<v Speaker 2>and it is hard not to look at that very

0:45:51.394 --> 0:45:55.034
<v Speaker 2>pure do buy influencer space where they are sort of

0:45:55.074 --> 0:45:56.354
<v Speaker 2>like I get to live on a yacht and where

0:45:56.354 --> 0:45:59.154
<v Speaker 2>a role like dad without being a bit like oh.

0:45:59.194 --> 0:46:01.834
<v Speaker 2>But as to your point, Amelia, there are so many

0:46:01.874 --> 0:46:04.393
<v Speaker 2>people living there and stuck there who that is not

0:46:04.514 --> 0:46:06.834
<v Speaker 2>the case for them, not that there's a moral value

0:46:06.834 --> 0:46:08.674
<v Speaker 2>about whether or not you should be able to be safe.

0:46:08.794 --> 0:46:10.393
<v Speaker 2>And I just want to tell everybody that if you

0:46:10.434 --> 0:46:14.194
<v Speaker 2>do want to follow an Australian woman who's living in Dubai,

0:46:14.234 --> 0:46:16.393
<v Speaker 2>who I've followed for years actually because I interviewed her

0:46:16.434 --> 0:46:18.634
<v Speaker 2>a long time ago, and she's really amazing. She's called

0:46:18.714 --> 0:46:23.154
<v Speaker 2>Jessica Smith, and she's a former paralympian, a swimmer, and

0:46:23.194 --> 0:46:26.194
<v Speaker 2>she's lived in Dubai for years, and she's got three kids,

0:46:26.514 --> 0:46:31.033
<v Speaker 2>and she's been posting really interesting, sensible, sensitive stuff about

0:46:31.034 --> 0:46:33.194
<v Speaker 2>what it's like there at the minute, about the kind

0:46:33.194 --> 0:46:36.194
<v Speaker 2>of information that Aussies can get about the defact portal

0:46:36.194 --> 0:46:39.314
<v Speaker 2>that's been opened, Amelia and all those things. So that

0:46:39.514 --> 0:46:41.834
<v Speaker 2>kind of information coming out of social media is really

0:46:41.954 --> 0:46:46.434
<v Speaker 2>useful and interesting and gives you a window. It's not all,

0:46:46.994 --> 0:46:50.714
<v Speaker 2>you know, sort of very botox ladies screaming on balconies.

0:46:50.794 --> 0:46:53.034
<v Speaker 4>At the same time, I can see why there's an

0:46:53.074 --> 0:46:56.393
<v Speaker 4>interest in the influences because the holy is your original question.

0:46:56.394 --> 0:46:59.433
<v Speaker 4>You said, do they all have to become citizen war correspondence? No,

0:46:59.554 --> 0:47:02.154
<v Speaker 4>I don't think they do, but in essence they are.

0:47:02.394 --> 0:47:05.393
<v Speaker 4>That is what they are. And I have found it

0:47:05.474 --> 0:47:08.834
<v Speaker 4>really interesting to look at the content that these creators

0:47:08.834 --> 0:47:11.074
<v Speaker 4>are putting out right now to get a sense of

0:47:11.114 --> 0:47:13.514
<v Speaker 4>what it feels like on the ground. It's it's almost

0:47:13.514 --> 0:47:14.794
<v Speaker 4>hard to imagine the scope of.

0:47:14.754 --> 0:47:15.914
<v Speaker 1>It, guys.

0:47:15.954 --> 0:47:20.033
<v Speaker 3>An article in Sydney Morning Herald by Stacy Collino has

0:47:20.114 --> 0:47:23.594
<v Speaker 3>made me feel intense shame and I need some emotional support.

0:47:23.874 --> 0:47:27.953
<v Speaker 3>So it goes through the household items you really need

0:47:27.994 --> 0:47:31.674
<v Speaker 3>to replace, and everyone comes across these articles every few

0:47:31.714 --> 0:47:34.154
<v Speaker 3>months and I don't know, I meant to clean my

0:47:34.234 --> 0:47:37.033
<v Speaker 3>pillow case like once a week or something like. No,

0:47:37.154 --> 0:47:37.954
<v Speaker 3>it's not happening.

0:47:38.034 --> 0:47:38.794
<v Speaker 1>But this was.

0:47:39.354 --> 0:47:42.674
<v Speaker 3>It was divided into like rooms in your house. But

0:47:42.794 --> 0:47:46.154
<v Speaker 3>the section that really struck me was about your kitchen.

0:47:47.114 --> 0:47:53.674
<v Speaker 3>So about sponges. Apparently, perpetually damp sponges are breeding grounds

0:47:53.754 --> 0:47:57.393
<v Speaker 3>for bacteria. Who would have known, and they get to

0:47:57.474 --> 0:48:00.554
<v Speaker 3>really high numbers within three to four days, and you

0:48:00.594 --> 0:48:02.433
<v Speaker 3>can beautiful days. I know.

0:48:02.634 --> 0:48:05.434
<v Speaker 1>I'm so glad that you said perpetually damp and not moist.

0:48:06.354 --> 0:48:09.834
<v Speaker 3>Perpetually that's what they are. I didn't know this. But

0:48:09.874 --> 0:48:12.714
<v Speaker 3>you can disinfect them by putting them in the microwave

0:48:12.754 --> 0:48:13.794
<v Speaker 3>for thirty seconds.

0:48:14.074 --> 0:48:20.634
<v Speaker 2>Yep, So disclosure in the oversharing department. I've discussed this

0:48:20.674 --> 0:48:22.314
<v Speaker 2>lately about how many pairs of pounds you packed to

0:48:22.314 --> 0:48:25.154
<v Speaker 2>go on holiday, blah blah blah, But how long do

0:48:25.154 --> 0:48:28.073
<v Speaker 2>you reckon a sponge lives on your sink. We're talking

0:48:28.074 --> 0:48:30.314
<v Speaker 2>about the ones with like the brillowpad on top right

0:48:30.354 --> 0:48:31.514
<v Speaker 2>and the yellow underneath.

0:48:32.394 --> 0:48:33.714
<v Speaker 3>It's all based on smell.

0:48:36.034 --> 0:48:37.794
<v Speaker 2>Grossing to admit, but often you'll be at the sink

0:48:37.834 --> 0:48:38.274
<v Speaker 2>and you'll be.

0:48:38.234 --> 0:48:41.194
<v Speaker 3>Like, You'll be like, oh, if it smells like cleaning product,

0:48:41.474 --> 0:48:46.354
<v Speaker 3>it's clean, right, So I reckon two weeks. Oh, it's

0:48:46.394 --> 0:48:47.913
<v Speaker 3>not a long time. It's not really.

0:48:48.274 --> 0:48:50.714
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it's a long time. But if your if your

0:48:50.754 --> 0:48:53.953
<v Speaker 2>sponge is looking pristine, I'm backing it. I merely he's

0:48:53.954 --> 0:48:56.754
<v Speaker 2>not going to share. She's a very proud I know,

0:48:56.034 --> 0:48:56.473
<v Speaker 2>don't think.

0:48:56.554 --> 0:48:56.913
<v Speaker 4>I know.

0:48:57.154 --> 0:48:59.234
<v Speaker 1>It's probably longer than two weeks.

0:48:59.954 --> 0:49:03.154
<v Speaker 3>Apparently you can also put them through the dishwasher.

0:49:03.754 --> 0:49:07.674
<v Speaker 2>You know, I never think of these, It's just was here.

0:49:07.754 --> 0:49:12.834
<v Speaker 2>She would be like landfill sustainability. Definitely keep reusing your sponges.

0:49:13.394 --> 0:49:16.074
<v Speaker 2>And I am terrible in that. Brent will use it

0:49:16.114 --> 0:49:17.714
<v Speaker 2>and use it, use it till it falls apart. And

0:49:17.754 --> 0:49:19.874
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that man is putting it in the microwave.

0:49:20.314 --> 0:49:25.154
<v Speaker 1>We've talked about Brent cutting the Brent. It's just a depression.

0:49:29.354 --> 0:49:31.474
<v Speaker 2>He will use it until it falls apart. I just

0:49:31.474 --> 0:49:33.234
<v Speaker 2>see them and go and throw them in the bin.

0:49:33.594 --> 0:49:35.034
<v Speaker 2>But now you tell me I can stick them in

0:49:35.074 --> 0:49:35.714
<v Speaker 2>the microwave.

0:49:36.194 --> 0:49:40.274
<v Speaker 3>Absolute hack. You also have to replace mop heads every

0:49:40.274 --> 0:49:43.074
<v Speaker 3>two to three months. Something I find really interesting about

0:49:43.634 --> 0:49:47.634
<v Speaker 3>life is when you buy a thing and then you

0:49:47.714 --> 0:49:50.634
<v Speaker 3>read the instructions for some weird reason and it says

0:49:50.714 --> 0:49:53.873
<v Speaker 3>that you have to replace a certain part, and I'm like,

0:49:53.954 --> 0:49:54.834
<v Speaker 3>who's doing that?

0:49:55.434 --> 0:49:57.434
<v Speaker 1>Sorry? What what's interesting about?

0:49:57.434 --> 0:50:01.074
<v Speaker 3>Like, like, okay, your vacuum cleaner, right, your vacuum cleaner.

0:50:01.114 --> 0:50:04.554
<v Speaker 3>We got a new vacuum cleaner recently. Huge looked at

0:50:04.554 --> 0:50:06.794
<v Speaker 3>the instructions and it's like, oh, there's a part of

0:50:06.794 --> 0:50:07.874
<v Speaker 3>your Oh yeah.

0:50:07.794 --> 0:50:10.714
<v Speaker 4>I get what you're saying. It's like, yeah, I got

0:50:10.754 --> 0:50:12.314
<v Speaker 4>what you're saying. We have I have a water pick,

0:50:12.634 --> 0:50:14.954
<v Speaker 4>you know that that like cleans in between your teeth,

0:50:15.354 --> 0:50:17.553
<v Speaker 4>And apparently I got to clean the water pick.

0:50:17.634 --> 0:50:20.114
<v Speaker 1>But the water picks for cleaning my teeth, that doesn't

0:50:20.114 --> 0:50:24.074
<v Speaker 1>make any sense. And it's always vinegar vinegar.

0:50:24.074 --> 0:50:28.873
<v Speaker 3>Or like baking pals, soda, baking soda, And I'm like,

0:50:28.874 --> 0:50:30.114
<v Speaker 3>who just has that in their cupboard?

0:50:30.354 --> 0:50:31.754
<v Speaker 2>Such domestic I know.

0:50:32.194 --> 0:50:35.714
<v Speaker 3>But also if you're cutting board has lots of cuts

0:50:35.794 --> 0:50:39.473
<v Speaker 3>or scratches, apparently it's time to replace it because those

0:50:39.594 --> 0:50:44.993
<v Speaker 3>indentations harbor bacteria that can make you listen bacteria not now,

0:50:45.274 --> 0:50:47.913
<v Speaker 3>I know, But what I want to know is, like

0:50:48.034 --> 0:50:50.593
<v Speaker 3>I'm picturing myself standing in my kitchen, which is also

0:50:50.634 --> 0:50:54.433
<v Speaker 3>my laund room and the mental load of thinking about

0:50:54.434 --> 0:50:58.554
<v Speaker 3>what's in all those cupboards. Do people keep lists or

0:50:58.634 --> 0:51:02.194
<v Speaker 3>schedules or timelines about like in six months, I have

0:51:02.274 --> 0:51:06.314
<v Speaker 3>to replace that, that mop in this I have to replace. Like,

0:51:06.354 --> 0:51:09.114
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how you know what people do.

0:51:09.194 --> 0:51:11.594
<v Speaker 4>There's a whole type of person who as the kettle

0:51:11.674 --> 0:51:13.554
<v Speaker 4>is boiling, they do all the stuff.

0:51:13.834 --> 0:51:15.194
<v Speaker 1>That's the whole type of person.

0:51:15.634 --> 0:51:19.194
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so they're like, unload the dishwasher, replaced the sponge

0:51:19.194 --> 0:51:22.354
<v Speaker 4>poppet in the microwave, do some squats, and like then

0:51:22.394 --> 0:51:23.234
<v Speaker 4>the kettle's boiled.

0:51:23.594 --> 0:51:25.954
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and they're like so productive.

0:51:25.994 --> 0:51:27.674
<v Speaker 3>I'll just order that part of that.

0:51:27.874 --> 0:51:30.234
<v Speaker 4>It's better than just staring off into middle distance having

0:51:30.274 --> 0:51:31.834
<v Speaker 4>existential fears.

0:51:31.474 --> 0:51:35.393
<v Speaker 3>Right, Oh no doing that. I just stare out the

0:51:35.434 --> 0:51:37.594
<v Speaker 3>window until the kettle tells me it's done.

0:51:37.954 --> 0:51:42.234
<v Speaker 2>It's all economy. I like it. That's all we have

0:51:42.274 --> 0:51:44.794
<v Speaker 2>time for out Louders on this Wednesday. Thank you so

0:51:44.914 --> 0:51:48.794
<v Speaker 2>much to Plus Stevens, Emelia Lester, to our amazing team.

<v Speaker 2>be back in your ears tomorrow with Mia. What are

0:51:54.594 --> 0:51:55.674
<v Speaker 2>you talking about tomorrow?

0:51:55.874 --> 0:51:59.114
<v Speaker 4>Oh, it's a juicy one. Remember last week we talked

0:51:59.154 --> 0:52:02.954
<v Speaker 4>about a letter from Vanessa, an out louder who asked

0:52:02.954 --> 0:52:05.754
<v Speaker 4>for advice on whether she should quit her job to

0:52:05.834 --> 0:52:09.554
<v Speaker 4>support her husband's very demanding job as they raise children.

0:52:09.674 --> 0:52:12.034
<v Speaker 2>That thread and now Louders Facebook, is one of the

0:52:12.074 --> 0:52:13.194
<v Speaker 2>best threads we've ever had.

0:52:13.234 --> 0:52:16.954
<v Speaker 4>I'm just going to say that what Mia says really

0:52:16.994 --> 0:52:19.074
<v Speaker 4>surprised me. I was not expecting it.

0:52:19.754 --> 0:52:23.674

0:52:38.634 --> 0:52:40.714

0:52:59.274 --> 0:53:00.873
