This is the pickup. 0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:25.799 Hello a happy hump day, Happy day, Happy day afternoon. 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:27.560 It's the pick up with Britt Hockley and Laura Burn. 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:29.880 Yeah, happy post aper fools Day. Thank god that's over. 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:32.000 Oh yeah, we're actually we are talking about that on 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:35.000 today's show. We have some very strong feelings about April Fols. 0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:35.960 Someone in the team. 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:37.040 Got fooled pretty bad. 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:39.680 Yeah, I'm just over it. I've got some very neutral 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:43.080 feelings about it. First though, what's his name? 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:46.680 Not my kitchen rule, machine gun, call gun Kelly. 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:47.640 But he's not called it anymore. 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:49.840 He drops the gun because apparently it was bad. 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:50.720 That's want to name. 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.640 He's just machine previously known as machine gun Kelly, MGK. 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:55.480 We could have just gone from his real name. Isn't 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:57.959 his real name like Colon or something. I literally think 0:00:57.960 --> 0:00:59.920 he just goes machine anyway. 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:03.080 Look, he's just recently had a baby with Megan Fox 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:08.240 and they announced the baby. They're apparently amicably co parenting 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:08.720 because they. 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:09.600 Separated a while back. 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.520 But they have this little baby that's come into the world, 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.880 and they were celebrating the announcement and called the baby 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:16.000 Celestial Seed. 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.720 And there's been quite a bit of confusion because all of. 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:22.959 Their fans thought that the baby's name was actually Celestial Seed, 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.800 but that was just his very abstract description for a 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:26.400 small child. 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:30.200 Yeah, but that's also very believable because when you think 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.720 about the names in Hollywood, that's probably one of the 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:33.120 better ones. 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:36.119 You would absolutely believe that someone who's named themselves machine 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:38.560 Gun Kelly would name their child so, let's seed. 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:43.000 Like that's that checks out a lot of like self inflation, 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.000 isn't it like self love to say that your seed 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:46.680 is so celestial and then name your kid after it, 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:48.280 because that's what you're saying, is like, my sperm is 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.640 so choice. 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:52.480 That that's why that's so out of this world. 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:54.840 Or if I'm misinterpreted what he means by seed, how 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:55.800 would you respond? 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:57.440 Like if I had a third kid and I name 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.680 it the most whack out their name, like would we 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:02.720 be okay with it? Will we just accept? Or would 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:04.240 you call it on me? Like would you tell me 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:05.280 that it's a terrible name. 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:07.960 I wouldn't say it was terrible, but you know, i'd 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:08.600 call you on it. 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:10.359 I'd like to be asking questions. 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:11.680 If I have a third kid and I'm like, I'm 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:13.480 going to name it friend of Panny Rocket, where you 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:14.920 go that's not no, don't do that. 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.000 No, I would say, talk me through the choice, and 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:19.680 what state of mine were you in when you did it? 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:20.799 Were you still high on gas? 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:22.520 But if you want to call your kid friend of Penny, 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.160 I'm gonna call him Franjo if you're happy. 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:26.960 With that, Actually I'm gotta call it friend. 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.080 You know what, I did call my daughter Lola and 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:31.519 you just call her Lola Derby. 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.400 So that was a terrible choice as well. 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.600 Panelol Lolador. There's a lot of things like Lola Coaster 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:36.280 and there's. 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:39.320 Been a few now. Something that I wanted to talk 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.560 about which is really super important to me, and I'm 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:44.680 sure that it's something that a lot of Australians across 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:48.240 the country will resonate with. But that is fostering or 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:52.000 taking on an adoption rescue animal, right. So I have 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:55.120 a ten year old bull Arab. He was my rescue 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:56.800 pet that I got when he was one year old. 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:01.320 He only has three legs, and hester he has. 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:02.280 A name, a yeah Buster. 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.280 He's the goodest of all the good boys out there. 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.000 But he was so overlooked for so long and had 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.440 been in the foster system for almost a year. The 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.120 reason for that is because I think, firstly, he's a. 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:13.880 Really big dog. 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:17.239 He's considered a giant dog because he's forty something kilos 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:18.440 even with just three legs. 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:20.720 He's also quite lean though that surprises me. 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:21.880 Yeah, he's a big dog. 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.600 But also I think people kind of thought because he 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.160 had three legs, he was going to cost a lot 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:29.600 of money and it was going to be, you know, 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.880 a real expense with vet bills. Now, the reason why 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:34.760 I want to talk about this is this month just 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:39.160 passed so much was the Petstock Foundation's National Pet Adoption Month. 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.360 I've worked with them for the last couple of years 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:45.040 and it's a really incredible charity which focuses on getting 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.760 more rescue animals into homes. And I read a statistic 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.200 which was just absolutely alarming, and that is that there 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.840 is one hundred thousand animals every single year that are 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.360 put down because the rescue homes are just completely flooded, 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:03.240 like they're so overwhelmed with animals in need, and most 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:06.440 of those animals one hundred thousand never even make it 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.320 to the point of being up for adoption. They just 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.120 get euthanized on the spot or on the day that 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.040 they come in because there's nowhere to put them. And 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.839 I guess the reason why it's something that I really like, 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:18.839 want to talk about and care about so much is 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.680 because I think that there is so much stigma around it. 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.920 But also there's a lot of stereotypes that are just incorrect. 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.919 And that was what I learned when I took Buster on. 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:29.640 So I thought he was going to come with all 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.880 this trauma, especially being a dog they've been hit by 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.400 car and having three legs. I thought he was going to, 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.400 you know, with that trauma, might be vicious, might be reactive, 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.040 hard to train, all that sort of stuff. And I mean, britt, 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:45.279 you know him, He's just the biggest, sweetest, most gentle giant, 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:47.480 has the patience of a saint. 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:49.240 He's very horny as well. 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.719 But besides that, he does I say that he does 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:53.960 he has a humping thing, but. 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.159 He doesn't have a humping thing. He's never hummed. He 0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:00.360 just always has his red Rocket is always out look. 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.160 We canfigure he is the gentlest of boys. 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:07.520 You almost can't provoke him, like he's just so calm. 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.760 And chill, which yeah, and I mean, you know, you 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.919 always hear stories about people bringing kids into families and 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.200 how that goes with, you know, trying to introduce them 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:15.680 to dogs. 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:17.679 And we just have had such. 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.800 A really beautiful experience with him, so much so that 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:23.360 we adopted another animal last year, which you guys are 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.440 all familiar about. We took on a rescue cat named Raspberry, 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.240 which Raspberry and they hear me out. Cats are a 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.799 whole different kettle of fish than dogs, Like they don't 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.160 need as much attention. But my goodness that they got 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.120 some attitude and she's great, but like, they just love 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.240 on each other so much, and it's been so rewarding 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:41.320 having them both in the house. 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.839 It's actually so sad to think about how many animals 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:46.640 don't even make it to the point. 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.240 Of being able to be adopted. Yeah, like, which. 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.680 I think a lot of people don't realize, but if 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:53.560 you do have the space for it, it's such a 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.320 beautiful thing to do. We've had rescue dogs our family. 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:58.120 We have one now at the moment, I say, at 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.120 the moment, we've had it for like eight years and 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.080 we genuinely have not ever had a problem with them. 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.839 Like every rescue we've ever had has been incredible, And 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.800 I know that is not always the case, but I 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:12.280 think the stigma and stereotype probably needs to go. 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.240 Yeah, and I guess like one of the big things is, 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:16.120 you know a lot of people have an aesthetic in 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:17.720 mind of the type of animal that they want or 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:19.200 the dog that they want. They wanted to look a 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:22.880 certain way, but it might not be the right suit 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:24.960 for your family. And one of the really amazing things 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.960 about getting a rescue animal, as like you know your preference, 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.839 is that so many of the charities and the foundations 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.840 that work with these animals spend so much time with them, 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.480 getting familiar with their characters, their traits, and they fit 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.880 them with families that actually suit their needs, and so 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.320 you end up with a pet that's way better suited 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:42.960 to your family than if you were to buy one 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.160 through a breeder. But yeah, I just wanted to share 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.400 some stats because last month was a really incredible month, 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.640 and being that it was the National Pet Adoption Month, 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.400 nine hundred and eighty pets were put into homes this month, 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.920 and eight hundred and fifty of those sorry, Britt, we're cats. 0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:58.159 That surprises me. 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.480 That's almost one hundred percent of them being cats. I 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.240 think it's because cat's are low maintenance. They do take 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:04.520 care of themselves in a lot of ways. 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:08.279 Yeah, they're also a nightmare. Personal, that's a personal opinion. Personal, 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:09.640 I don't it's not for me. 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.080 Cat people are as strong as Taylors with people. They'll 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:13.760 come for you, Britt, but they can come for me. 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:15.040 But I'm not adopting a cat. 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:15.600 Personally. 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.960 In my life, I will adopt multiple animals. I will 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.400 adopt anax A Lottel probably before an adopt a cat. 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.440 I don't dislike cats, they're just not for me. But 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.280 that is an incredible statistic. Actually, you know what, I 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:31.560 really loved. The RSPCA got me really good yesterday on 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.280 April Fool's Day. I always reshare the RSPCA's post to 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.760 my Instagram stories trying to encourage people to adopt. 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.320 Because they always put up like this is what's up 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:40.080 for adoption this week. 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.200 Anyway, I nearly got done yesterday. I was like, oh 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.720 that's different. They posted like what animals need adopted. They're like, 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:48.080 let's not forget the more unique animals that need adoption. 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.600 And it was like an alligator, baby alligator. 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:51.520 And you're like, how long can you keep it at 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:52.440 a home for in the bathroom? 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:53.360 I I can get no. 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.280 But I thought, oh, that's really nice that they're trying 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.200 to find these things home. But I was thinking it 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.320 was like the Robert Irwin's or the zoo's or the 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.880 bigger property farms that would like adopt them. 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:02.960 And I really got sucked in. 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.680 Until I started swiping and it was like Zebra's baby elephants, 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:08.600 and I was like, oh, you got me for April Fools. 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:10.560 I don't know how you managed to fall for that. 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:12.880 We only from the second swipe the alligator got me. 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.760 We are talking April Fools next though, guys, because there's 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.040 a few people on the team who got really stung 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:18.679 by them. 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:20.760 And I tried to adopt a baby elephant. 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.760 I'm just over them. I think we should cancel April Fools. 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:25.880 I don't think we need it anymore. It's a stupid day. 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:27.720 I agree. I'm well and truly over it. 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:32.120 Well, it was April fools Day yesterday and I don't 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.280 know about you, but I want to know why the 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.800 hell were still doing it. I don't know if I'm 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:38.319 a grinch. I don't know if people are going to 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.840 come for me. I have a great sense of humor, 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.280 but yesterday just annoyed me so much. 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:45.480 I have a great sense of humored. 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.320 I do love a prank as such throughout the year. 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.760 I love to prank people and do little jokes on. 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.360 Them, but yours is not so much pranks. 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.360 You like to jump out and scare people from behind you. 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:55.920 That's your version of a prank. 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:57.640 I dripped to my film so bad all the time, 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:00.000 but it got to the end of the day yesterday 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.240 and I was just really angry at the Internet because 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.360 I'm like, we working media. 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:06.600 Our job is to look at what is happening in 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:08.679 the news. You're like to believe it or not. We 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:09.520 report on things. 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.600 I know it doesn't seem that way, but I was 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:13.040 really angry at the end of the day because I 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.960 was like, I can trust no one. I believe nothing 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.120 I've read. There was no point of being on the 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:19.800 internet today, It's all lies. 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:21.240 I felt very similar. 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.280 I think that April Fool's really increased this year, Like 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:28.360 It really ramped up I think every influencer, every media personality, 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.160 every brand, even my husband. 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:32.479 So Matt, he has a podcast. 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.079 Which is called Two Doting Dads, So this is very 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.520 brand aligned for them. But they put out a post 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.960 which was a picture of like a pregnancy test package, 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.840 so like not the pregnancy test itself, but like you 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:47.040 could buy a box set of pregnancy tests and box set, you. 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:48.920 Know, like it's like a Netflix stupide, like a. 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.559 Box of four pregnancy tests, you know. And it had 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:53.360 a picture of them on the front holding each other, 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:57.120 and then it had like, okay, stop no, and then 0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.920 the caption said if you've ever wanted to piss on 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:04.320 here's your chance, or something equally is ridiculous. Anyway, if 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.240 you want to buy a pregnancy test, don't buy it 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:06.840 from my husband. 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:11.679 I will you want to piss on him? 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.880 Anyway. It was obviously a April. 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.160 Fool's joke, But the thing is now with AI and 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.280 being able to create things so convincingly, some of the 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.880 April Fools jokes are like, really really convincing. 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:25.360 There's a creator in the States. Her name's Becka. 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:29.040 She was on The American Bachelor quite a few years ago. 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.480 Funnily enough, she is the American bachelorette who went on 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:34.480 the show and her parents thought that she went missing, 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.800 so they declared her a missing person whilst. 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:38.559 The show was that's also not an April Fools. 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:40.160 That's what I have that that really happened. 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.960 But she created this entire piece of content, which was 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:46.120 our full brand piece of content, saying that she had 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:51.800 genetically esthetically chosen the genes for her newborn baby, and 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.400 she she did it as though it was a brand collab, 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.240 and everyone obviously was outraged, and then she came out 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.920 afterwards it was like, guys, April Fools, I'm just like, well. 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.320 I'm I make people mad for no reason. What's that point. 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.640 I did almost get done by the RSPCA. 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:06.679 I did love their post, but I almost bought a 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:07.680 baby elephant. 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:09.320 But then I realized that wasn't actually up for adoption. 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.240 How many do you think you fell for? Because I 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:12.679 don't think I fell for any. 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.920 Well, I think that I probably dismissed a lot of 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:17.800 real things as being April Fools, because by the. 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:18.960 End of the day I was like, I'm not believing 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:20.840 or anything, But you know what I think April Fools 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:22.560 is good for I think April. 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:28.160 I think April Fools should become the day of like proposals, because. 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:29.920 No, you can't do that to your partner. 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.480 No, not as an April Fools. Seriously. 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.640 So you propose and if they say yes, brilliant. If 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.840 they say no, you're like April Fools. I didn't mean it, 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:40.360 and that's like your way to get out of it. 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.079 You don't propose as the April Fools, but the April 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.040 Fools is your backup in case they say no. 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:46.920 There's a few things that I don't think you should 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:48.839 joke about. One of them pregnancies. 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.800 I saw a really bad April Fools pregnancy go down 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:55.559 online and the backlash was swift and hard. Producer Grayce, 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:57.080 you fell for a few April Fools. 0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:57.720 Yeah. 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.120 I was trying to put together a content email yesterday 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:01.440 to send to you guys, and every. 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:05.960 Day, every hour you're like, dadally, I felt for three. 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:06.520 You actually send them to us. 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:07.360 And I wrote back and I. 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.480 Was like, that's not real. You literally send one in 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:11.360 the group chat and I was like, that's it. Even 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:13.880 says April Fool's on it. I had to be like, please. 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.439 Ignore everything I've just sent I'm actually a really good producer, 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:16.840 I swear. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:18.280 Actually it was funny. 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.120 You know when you accidentally send the wrong message to 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:23.360 someone and people really quickly write other messages to push 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.320 the chain up. That's when you're doing your okay, moving on, 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:26.840 don't worry about your bar I just ignore it wrong 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:27.800 group chat and we were. 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:31.720 Like, you're just sending April fools content. It was very funny. 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.280 But I don't know, let's wind it back a beer. 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.720 Is this No, It's only gonna get worse every year, 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:37.600 It's going to increase. I feel like this is the 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.720 pickup show, unsubscribing from April Fool's content. But I feel 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.360 like it is only every year going to get bigger 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.880 and worse and like more out there, and I think 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:47.560 we're gonna. 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.600 Have to just keep your eyes peeled next April one. 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.320 Now the show that literally the world is talking about 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:58.280 Netflix show Adolescence. It is a show where a thirteen 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:03.280 year old boy in the UK fatally injures another school student, 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:08.200 and it has started this conversation around the world on are. 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.679 We doing enough with our children in the schools? 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.280 Are we doing enough with our children at home to 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:17.040 prevent this from happening because in the UK crime from 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:20.199 teenagers against other teenagers is absolutely rife, Like. 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:21.680 The statistics are huge. 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.400 Now, off the back of this conversation about adolescents and 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:29.520 the popularity, the British Prime Minister has actually backed the 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:32.840 fact that this should be shown in schools around the country, 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.000 that it should almost start to become a part of 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:39.760 the school curriculum to educate and teach against misogyny and 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.439 how kids can be a little bit more media literate. 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:45.040 And I know that's a really big thing for a 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.600 teenager to understand. But with the likes of people like 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:51.480 Andrew Tate who are consuming our young men, who are 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:56.439 teaching them absolutely are bhorrent things, how do we counteract 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:58.880 the crime that's happening. How do we say, Okay, it's 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:02.080 not enough anymore for a parent to say treat your 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.520 kid with respect, Like these things aren't enough anymore. So 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:06.600 in the UK they're going to say, hey, you know what, 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.160 let's bring this into the school curriculum and try and 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.920 start it from the education system out well. 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:14.960 I think if anyone hasn't seen it, a lot of 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.400 it kind of revolves around screen time, and it revolves 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:22.320 around young boys in particular forming very problematic views about 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.760 girls because of the content that they're consuming online. And 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:27.800 you know, it's a big conversation that's happened here in 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.040 Australia recently around raising the age. 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:31.000 Of social media use. 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.920 But also the thing that kind of gets left out 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.960 of that equation is how easy it is for kids 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:42.240 to access sexually explicit materials online as well. And I 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.160 thought the show was incredible. I think everyone who's watched 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.600 it walks away from it thinking, not only is it 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.240 the way it's created is amazing, it's this one shot film, 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.760 but what it makes you think as a parent, what 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.240 it makes you think is how you're raising your children, 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.120 I think is really profound and interesting. My take home 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.600 from this wasn't just a about how there needs to 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:03.320 be work done with kids, but I also think there 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.280 needs to be worked on with parents. I don't think 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.760 that we are in time when parents can be illiterate 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.600 to what their children are consuming online anymore. 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:11.760 I think that if. 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:13.800 Your kids have a screen, if they have computers in 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:17.320 their room, if they are young and impressionable, then there 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.640 has to be an understanding of what it is that 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.160 they could be consuming, and there has to be conversations 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.440 that are happening with your kids at home, not just 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:25.360 with kids at school. 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:26.720 For that change to happen. 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:29.520 Well, there's a woman named Somasara who has founded a 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:34.320 charity which focuses on highlighting a lot of violence against children, 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:39.400 and she has collected thousands of anonymous testimonies from women 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:43.600 and girls that describe what happens at schools on school grounds, 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:48.160 and that is the groping, assault, sexist name calling, inappropriate touching, 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:51.720 and the fact that this is increasing. So you think 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:53.920 of how much work we have been doing as a 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.320 society to try and counteract this, yet we're seeing an 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.960 increase in it. So I think the education system at 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:02.560 a bit of a wits end. It's like, so, what 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.800 are we actually going to do to stop this? Because 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:07.520 it would be a really scary time for a parent. 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:09.760 There's a lot of parents that are not doing the 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:11.480 right thing. There's a lot of parents that are doing 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.760 every single thing they can to teach their children and 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.560 protect their children, and they're still seeing that it's not enough. 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.240 Yeah, but I think, you know, and one of the 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:22.240 things that this show showed so perfectly is that it's 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.640 very easy to think that it's not your child. 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:25.600 It's very easy to. 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.320 Look at your own parenting and be like, but I'm 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.840 a good parent. I love my kids, I care about 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:31.920 my kids. I want the best of my kids. I 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:35.200 provide for them. My kid's a good kid, you know, 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.120 And we always think that, right, Like you always think 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:39.880
