0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:29.320
<v Speaker 3>It would be rude of us not to talk about

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:32.960
<v Speaker 3>the fact that Lady Gaga has just announced she's coming

0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:35.320

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 3>people that are going to have like fifty computers open

<v Speaker 3>at once and all the websites to try and get

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 3>the tickets.

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Are you camping outside to get a good spot?

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 4>Don't know, because I'm not a concert person. Because the

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 4>idea of buying tickets really stresses.

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this to me, like I'm excited, but this makes

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>me feel stressed.

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 4>Yes, so I think I'm gonna have to try have

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.760
<v Speaker 4>all the like a spy, have all the screens.

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Yes, you work in radio, surely there is some perks

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:24.679
<v Speaker 1>to this job, do.

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 5>You know what?

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Surely?

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm gonna put this to bed right now, because

0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 3>I get asked all the time. The number of people

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 3>that ask me if I could hook them up tickets

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:34.639
<v Speaker 3>to Taylor Swift when she was here. The post office

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 3>man asked me, He's like, okay, my daughter loves Taylor Swift.

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, bro, I can't get tickets.

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 3>People think that when you're in radio it's like a

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 3>frenzy free for all.

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.960
<v Speaker 1>This absolutely not. Some of the tickets are off there.

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I had to. I bought my ticket's secondhand by someone

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 1>who was like scalping themis And also, if.

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 3>We do get tickets given to us, like if the

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 3>radio gets them allocated, not to throw the bosses under

0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 3>the bas but the bosses take them.

0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>We don't get them. I don't know if they do.

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>They do, I've I've seen them in the suits. I

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>know that they're taking them.

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 5>All right.

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, look those tickets are on sale April seventeen.

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:10.239
<v Speaker 3>So the last few days we've been talking about Laura's renovation.

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 3>You've been renovating this house for the best part of

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 3>nine months, and.

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 1>In case you're curious, it looks amazing. Everyone's been so

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 1>supportive and they've said, Wow, what a beautiful, eclectic bathroom

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 1>and kitchen you've so meticulously and thoughtfully renovated.

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that could be further from the truth. No, some

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:27.919
<v Speaker 3>people have said that. But if you have missed it,

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 3>we've been talking about the fact that Laura has been.

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Gainst some pretty harsh criticism online.

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.799
<v Speaker 3>There's been some trolls that have been coming for you

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 3>with very honest feedback.

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.360
<v Speaker 1>And yesterday I read out some of the comments that

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 1>we've received. This is what people had to say. She wrote,

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 1>love that for you. You were being stubborn with your style.

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I just don't understand how it works though it's ugly.

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, that marble is hideous. Ah, well, you

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>would be ripped to pieces by SHANEA. Blaze. It's a

0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:00.640
<v Speaker 1>no from me too. Someone wrote, you didn't pay me

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:02.639
<v Speaker 1>to stay here, and I was like, you'll never get

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 1>to stay here. It's okay, Sharon, You're not invited. This

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 1>was about the kitchen reveal better than your crap bathroom.

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Do you know?

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Someone wrote last night you couldn't pay me to shit

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 1>in this bathroom and I was like, oh, we've reached

0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 1>a whole new low. Guys, leave me alone.

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 3>Also, why do these people think they're invited to shit

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 3>in the bar?

0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not paying you to do that in my bathroom. Okay.

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 3>There have been some people that have also given you

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.919
<v Speaker 3>positive feedback as well, but likes funny.

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 1>The trolls have been coming. But I did want to

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 1>put this to bed, so I.

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 3>Have contacted I slid into the dams the block judge

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 3>and interior designer Darren Palmer. I have sent him photos

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 3>of your house. He has been reviewing them overnight. I

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 3>think he stayed up all night with his monocle, making

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 3>sure he looked at every detail.

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna score me, He's going to score you.

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 4>He's on the line.

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the pickup Darren.

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.839
<v Speaker 5>I don't know what sort of judge you think I am.

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 5>I don't work from the Supreme Court. I work on

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 5>the Telly and I tell people where they're stuff is

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 5>good or not. You've missed a few of those great quotes.

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 5>By the way, there's like you two had a stroke

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 5>watching this. I love that one.

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 1>That was a good one.

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 5>I love you guys, but I hate this was the first.

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.840
<v Speaker 5>This one I particularly like, Oh, it's getting worse.

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:20.360
<v Speaker 1>I think I wrote back to that one and said, no,

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>this is us at our peak, at the kitchen's peak.

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 5>I thought that was a cracking response.

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.280
<v Speaker 1>It's very funny. So you've been reviewing the photos, Darren, Darren,

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>let me be honest, you would know this. I had

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 1>never understood, or had no concept of how much anterior

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>design makes people angry. They're so polarized by it.

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 5>Yes, that is exactly right. The thing is, and you

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 5>touched on it yourself in the comments, which I commend

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 5>you for. Is you really have to think about when

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 5>you're doing a house, why are you doing it? And

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:52.719
<v Speaker 5>are you doing it to sell it to a market?

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 5>Are you doing it to satisfy yourselves and to live

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 5>in for the next five, ten, fifteen years, or as

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 5>you said, you'll have to by the keys out of

0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 5>my cold dead hand.

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:04.839
<v Speaker 1>Darren, can I tell you the theme for the house?

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 1>So it's a holiday house? And I said, I just

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.359
<v Speaker 1>want it to be fun and I want everyone to

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.800
<v Speaker 1>walk in into it and feel that they're on holidays.

0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.159
<v Speaker 5>You've done exactly that. This must be super peaky for

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 5>you to be like, Okay, let's ask an expert on

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.799
<v Speaker 5>what they think on my hard work that I've just completed.

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:25.120
<v Speaker 5>I speaking of someone who's just finished a renovation that

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:29.040
<v Speaker 5>took me two years and where everything is basically beige.

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:34.359
<v Speaker 1>That's like my dream. I do like the marble you

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.600
<v Speaker 1>have in your house, though, Darren, don't worry. I've seen it.

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>It's a beautiful renovation. No one's doubting that.

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 5>Well, thank you. I appreciate that. But the point is,

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 5>I think a lot of people feel really comfortable with

0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.880
<v Speaker 5>neutral palettes, and a lot of people feel comfortable with

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 5>what they've seen before. But at the end of the day,

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 5>you are designing a home that is for you guys

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.039
<v Speaker 5>to enjoy, and also you wanted to create a feeling

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 5>and a mood of fun and holiday and get away

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:08.840
<v Speaker 5>and like, honestly, your house isn't a normal looking house

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.600
<v Speaker 5>from the outside. It's interesting, you know, it's got all

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.719
<v Speaker 5>those different shapes and it's a really great word. I

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:19.240
<v Speaker 5>love it well. As my Nana says, if I feed

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 5>its something that's a little bit too flavorous and she goes, oh,

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:26.480
<v Speaker 5>that's different. Different means bad, But in this case, it doesn't.

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 5>It just means it's different. And I think if you

0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:34.720
<v Speaker 5>put a normal, predictable, you know, ampt and style, coastal

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.840
<v Speaker 5>interior in this house, it just wouldn't fit the exterior.

0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.960
<v Speaker 5>So I reckon the person that's loving the exterior of

0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.920
<v Speaker 5>your house will find a lot of joy on the

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:44.839
<v Speaker 5>interior of your house.

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 3>Let's go to the first room, which is the bathroom, Darren,

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.120
<v Speaker 3>can you describe that and let us know what you think.

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 5>Look, risks have been taken, and I think the things

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 5>I love are the natural zone. I think it's beautiful.

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:06.359
<v Speaker 5>I really love the subway tiles in the stripe pattern.

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 5>I think that's gorgeous. I really love the mirror. Now

0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 5>I do have notes. Do you want notes?

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:12.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready?

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. The bath, No bath took me through that decision.

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 1>You couldn't fit it. You couldn't fit a bath.

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 3>Not good choice for resale value. But I guess if

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 3>you're not resailing.

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Then we talked about it a lot. It was a sacrifice.

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 1>We were like, if we're gonna if we're gonna make

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.239
<v Speaker 1>it have space, it's going to have no bath. Otherwise

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>the bath would have been one of those pokey little

0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 1>half baths. And I was like, who wants to sit

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 1>in a half bath? A child?

0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.120
<v Speaker 5>Nobody but your kids or your pets. That's what it's

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 5>useful for.

0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.200
<v Speaker 1>No pets, so good to wash with a shower handle.

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 1>I refuse that getting a dog into I've got a

0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 1>forty kilo dog expert on. I'm sorry, I'm trying to

0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.680
<v Speaker 1>convince that the thought process here, Okay, I've.

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 5>Got one other note. It's the placement of your basin,

0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 5>particularly the tap in relation to that wall scumps. That

0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 5>distance seems little tie in that you kind of feel

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 5>like that may be close to your face when you're

0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 5>going to use the tap. I would have bumped it

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 5>away from the wall a little bit. I get where

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 5>you've got lots of counterspace. I understand it's nice to

0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:15.360
<v Speaker 5>spread everything out, especially if you don't have face level storage.

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.680
<v Speaker 5>Face level storage is also a really nice inclusion. But

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 5>I love your mirror, so you've got heaps of storage underneath.

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 5>I'm not too bothered by that.

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Great, I'm loving these. I feel validated.

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so out of ten, I would give you a

0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 5>solid nine functionality.

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Take you that, so that and carry a side.

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, actually, maybe the bath to go half a point off.

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:40.240
<v Speaker 1>I reckon, you've got to knock a couple off for

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.520
<v Speaker 1>the bath. I know the bath was very enraging for

0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 1>some people. All right, we'll move to the kitchen. Now.

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.199
<v Speaker 1>The kitchen's also been controversial.

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 5>So the kitchen. Did you get your color inspiration from

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 5>your old laundry?

0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Yes, we wanted to keep same colors, similar theme, but

0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.959
<v Speaker 1>we wanted it to feel like it was more modern, maximimalist.

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:01.439
<v Speaker 1>That was kind of the thing we were going for.

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.200
<v Speaker 5>I'll tell you what, if it ain't broke, don't fix

0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 5>it right. Your lay out work before it works. Now,

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.560
<v Speaker 5>very fond of the tiles on the floor. And is

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:15.360
<v Speaker 5>it a pantry inside with a beautiful stone. Yes, yeah,

0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 5>you need more powerpoints in there.

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah. We also have sliding doors so that it

0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't just stay with the doors open. But that was also,

0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Look first time.

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 5>You know what, how many times have you done this? None?

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:30.439
<v Speaker 5>You're doing great. It's not easy, right, Like people think

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:34.800
<v Speaker 5>that it's really easy to create something from your mind

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 5>and to just to design, and it's not. It's actually tricky,

0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 5>And it's even trickier when everybody and their dog decides

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 5>that they have the ability to criticize your hard work online.

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.120
<v Speaker 5>You did ask for it, and you are asking for

0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.679
<v Speaker 5>it again. I'm going to point it out so it

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:56.440
<v Speaker 5>doesn't hurt the people talk about it.

0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.679
<v Speaker 1>It's true. Also, I kind of love how angry people

0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 1>get it about it, because you do love it. I

0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 1>just want to because I want to see their homes too.

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I want to, you know, when people get so angry,

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I want to see Sharon's homes. No I do. I'm like, well,

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:11.880
<v Speaker 1>clearly you must live in a palace if you're going

0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 1>to get so cranky. But anyway, I feel like it's

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 1>never gonna all right, hang on, let's wrap this up.

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:17.959
<v Speaker 1>We need what I scoring in the kitchen.

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.559
<v Speaker 5>Look, I think it's a cracker. I think it's beautiful,

0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 5>absolutely gorgeous. So I love what you're doing, Laura.

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.400
<v Speaker 1>I was expecting more meanness. Thank you. I am going

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:31.720
<v Speaker 1>to cut this down.

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 5>I get to the wrong person. Although I did see

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 5>that you'll get ripped to pieces by Shane and Blaze,

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 5>so you probably should speak to her, do you reckon?

0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 1>She would rip me to pieces. She's at next. Let's

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.120
<v Speaker 1>get her next.

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 5>I know her very well.

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>You'll just have to see, all right, Darren, thank you

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.920
<v Speaker 1>so much. I'm very pleasantly surprised. I can't wait to

0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 1>tag every single person who left me in comment.

0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:54.680
<v Speaker 5>Hey, you're so welcome. That was fun.

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.560
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So I want to talk about White Lotus now.

0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:01.840
<v Speaker 3>Before or we get into it, I want to say

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:03.960
<v Speaker 3>this is no spoilers about the show. It was the

0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 3>finale this week, but we are not talking about the

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 3>show itself.

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen it yet, so I can't spoil anything

0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:09.600
<v Speaker 1>for you.

0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:13.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeahs, No, what I wanted to talk about was something

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 3>that I thought was really interesting. It's a really interesting

0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.600
<v Speaker 3>pay conversation that has come off the back of White Loaders. Now,

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 3>HBO has come out and said that all of the

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:26.440
<v Speaker 3>White Loadus stars are paid the exact same amount.

0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.080
<v Speaker 1>So what this means is it doesn't matter if you

0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:30.439
<v Speaker 1>are a veteran actor.

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't matter if you are the George Cloonies or

0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 3>the Brad Pitts, or in this case, Woody Harrelson. And

0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.280
<v Speaker 3>I say that because Woody Harrelson originally signed on to

0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:41.679
<v Speaker 3>play a cast member, a main cast member.

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 1>The reason he.

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 3>Didn't do it is because he ended up being cast

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.560
<v Speaker 3>in another show. But he negotiated his salary all the

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:50.720
<v Speaker 3>way to the CEO of HBO. He was saying, like,

0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 3>there's no way I'm doing it for forty K. And

0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 3>they didn't even budge for him. They were like, every

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.280
<v Speaker 3>single actor, if it's your first ever acting job or

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.000
<v Speaker 3>it's your one hundred acting job, is going to be

0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:00.679
<v Speaker 3>the same.

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 3>It started a really interesting conversation because there are a

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:06.680
<v Speaker 3>lot of people saying, wow, this is setting the standard

0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.959
<v Speaker 3>for the future of acting. Do we think every actor

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 3>should sign on and be paid equal?

0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Because what it.

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 3>Means is and Mike White, the director HBO CEO, has

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.080
<v Speaker 3>come out saying, it means you're getting people sign on

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.440
<v Speaker 3>for the right reason. It's not a money grab for them.

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.680
<v Speaker 3>They're not just doing it to put money in their pocket.

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.839
<v Speaker 3>They're saying, hey, I actually feel so strongly about this project.

0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I mean it's a job. It's like coming

0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.600
<v Speaker 1>to work in a radio network. Here we go and

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.800
<v Speaker 1>being the number one show in all the country and saying,

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.559
<v Speaker 1>but you shouldn't ask for a big salary, because you

0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 1>should do it for the joy of creating content. I

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:43.960
<v Speaker 1>guess my thing is if an actor has a proven

0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.680
<v Speaker 1>track record, they've started in many films, they are a

0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:51.000
<v Speaker 1>more experienced actor. They also have the recall, like people

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:52.520
<v Speaker 1>want to see them. They're the ones who are the

0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.160
<v Speaker 1>stars that are bringing in the viewership. Then I would

0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 1>say that they deserve to be paid more. I think

0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.960
<v Speaker 1>that it's like you earn your stripes in any industry,

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.280
<v Speaker 1>and the more experienced you are, the more you get paid.

0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you.

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.280
<v Speaker 3>So the producer David Bernard said, everyone is treated the

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.760
<v Speaker 3>same on White Lotus. They get paid the same. We

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.679
<v Speaker 3>do alphabetical billing. So you're getting people who want to

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 3>do the project for the right reasons. Not to quote

0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.520
<v Speaker 3>The Bachelor, it's a system we developed in the first

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.720
<v Speaker 3>season because there was no money to make the show.

0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.320
<v Speaker 3>So I understand how it started, and I guess I

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:25.240
<v Speaker 3>understand why there are people that are for it, But personally,

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:29.679
<v Speaker 3>how can you say to somebody that has twenty years experience,

0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:31.880
<v Speaker 3>trained experience that bring in big dollars.

0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:32.800
<v Speaker 1>They're bringing viewership.

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:34.959
<v Speaker 3>How can you say that you don't deserve anything more

0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:38.120
<v Speaker 3>than somebody that might be quote unquote a new grad.

0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Here's my question, what's the name of the guy who

0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 1>makes it? The creator, Mike White? Is Mike White earning

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:44.920
<v Speaker 1>the same amount for this series is what he did

0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.960
<v Speaker 1>for the first series? Because I mean, highly unlikely. But

0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:51.640
<v Speaker 1>that's the thing. If it's based on this altruistic want

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.440
<v Speaker 1>to just like create a great film, I know that

0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.560
<v Speaker 1>they created a system in the first place. The series

0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 1>wasn't worth anything with the first season. They didn't know

0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:02.319
<v Speaker 1>how it was going to go. So benchmarking a huge

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:06.040
<v Speaker 1>blockbuster that has now in its third season off the

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 1>projected success of something that didn't exist. I think that

0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.760
<v Speaker 1>they're just like money gouging. The people who are creating

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:13.400
<v Speaker 1>the film are making more money. They're putting it all

0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.160
<v Speaker 1>in their own pockets. It's not going back to charities, like,

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not going back to anything except HBO. I think

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 1>it's crap.

0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:20.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't like it because you've seen it happening in

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 3>other industries, especially in entertainment. This kind of thing happens

0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:24.960
<v Speaker 3>a lot, like not just the movie making, but all

0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:29.040
<v Speaker 3>aspects of entertainment. There's always this overlying or underlying threat

0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.320
<v Speaker 3>that well, if you don't do it, even though you're

0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:33.760
<v Speaker 3>worth more, if you don't do it, someone's going to

0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 3>do it for less.

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 1>There's someone else is going to take it. So you

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 1>take this low paying salary or not totally. It's the

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.000
<v Speaker 1>same with any industry. I mean you look at photographers,

0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 1>you look at graphic designers, any creative industry. People are

0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:46.880
<v Speaker 1>expected to do their craft for not enough pay. And

0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 1>it's because, like, people can love their jobs, but they

0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 1>should be remunerated for what they bring to that job.

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 1>And I think this is just a very very sneaky

0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.840
<v Speaker 1>way of them being able to go, oh, we only

0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.000
<v Speaker 1>want people who are excited about white loaders while making

0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 1>the maximounter of profits the show as possible.

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And if you compare it to remember Friends, for example,

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.760
<v Speaker 3>so like if they did this eight episode season, they

0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 3>will get about five hundred and thirty thousand Australian dollars total,

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 3>which is a great summer money.

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Per cast member. Yeah, per cast member for the whole season.

0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:16.040
<v Speaker 3>When you think of Friends, they used to get a

0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 3>million dollars each per episode. Having said that, would I

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 3>do for forty thousand dollars?
