WEBVTT - GUEST: Gina Liano on her Real Housewives exit ✨ 0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:04.519 Is It Just Me Podcast by a couple of Mitches. 0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:07.560 All right, now, this is an interview that we recorded 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:11.360 months ago, and we weren't able to even talk about it. 0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:13.720 We weren't able to say who it was with because 0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:16.880 it was off the back of her project that was unannounced. 0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.599 But finally we can say Mitch and I sat down 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:21.840 with the one and only Gina Leanna from the Real 0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:22.800 Housewives of Melbourne. 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:24.360 I've been waiting for this for so long. 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:25.880 Oh yeah, so exciting. 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:29.040 First, we sat down with her to record her podcast, 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:32.000 Judge Gina, which they were keeping under wraps. They wanted 0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:34.199 it to be a big secret, a big announcement, and 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:36.920 so Mitch and I had a dispute that Gina was 0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:41.120 going to mediate, and so immediately after we recorded her podcast, 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:43.000 we borrowed a bit of her time to record something 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.360 for our podcast. So you're gonna have to head along 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:49.000 search Judge Gena wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, but yeah, 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:51.240 Judge Gina, she settled a dispute for us. 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:54.280 I wouldn't stay settled. Can we just put that out there? No, 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:56.600 I don't think that it was settled at all, and 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:58.480 I was very unhappy and I've gone to the Supreme 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:01.040 Court because it to be overruled. 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:05.200 Let me just say this, Mitch ripped me off. Oh 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.520 and I was thinking compensation. 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.280 Did not rip him off. It was a fair deal. 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:11.520 And he brought it to the court of Judge Gina 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:13.920 and she just felt pressured by him because she was 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.800 scared by him. But I TV outcome. You'll have to 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:18.800 listen and make it up for yourself. 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.040 But yeah, if you don't know who Gina Leano is, 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.760 she was one of the Real Housewives of Melbourne, which 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:28.200 I only just recently got into. Real Housewives of Melbourne. 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:29.119 Did you ever watch it, Mitch? 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:31.720 Yeah, I loved it. I love all the Real Housewives, 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:33.280 but the Real Housewives of Sydney and Melbourne have a 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.400 very special place in my heart. She's so iconic, and 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.320 she left that show and we talk about that in 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.479 our interview. But yeah, once she left, I stopped watching. 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:43.880 Yeah. I mean, even if you didn't watch Housewives, I 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.920 feel like everyone knows Gina. She's the most recognizable one 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:48.600 from the Melbourne franchise that you reckon. 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.600 Oh yeah, that hair and that head of hair. Yeah iconic. Yeah, 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:52.280 I love Gina. 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.280 If you've never watched Housewives, I'm gonna give you a 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.200 little taste of what Gina was like on the show. 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.280 As you'll hear in the podcast. 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:02.000 We recorded with her, she's veryry, poised and put together. 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.560 It takes a lot to get under her skin. There's 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:06.160 only been a couple of times on the show that 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:08.600 she was rattled, and so they made for the most 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.440 iconic moments. This first one I'm going to show you 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:14.200 this was when a new girl, Sally, came on board 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.359 around season four, and Sally was calling herself the new 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.880 sheriff in town. And I don't imagine Gina would have 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.399 enjoyed that because she's kind of like the unofficial top 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:27.680 dog of the Melbourne Housewives, and so she rubbed Gina 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:29.839 the wrong way from the get go. But the whole 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:34.280 feud started when Sally dad called Gina a bully, and 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:36.040 Gina did not like being called a bully. 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:37.800 Stopping such a bully? 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.320 You try to shut her down every single time she 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:46.720 tries to talk. Just let her talk, stopping Who am 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:47.919 I I mean? 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.760 Who is this woman coming at me with a pointy 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:54.720 finger and her fucking camel teeth calling me a friggin bully? 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:55.520 Fuck off? 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.960 I think that Sally having a new hashtag new Sheriff 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:03.120 in town on her social media's actually hilarious. A new 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.480 sheriff in town made the sheriff dhla. If you want 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.280 to come in with guns, blozing, your flat shoes and 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.760 your legs spread like a bloke guy for it. I'm 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:10.840 not gonna hang out with Sally. 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.000 She can go for like herself. 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:13.440 But I do feel sorry for it because I know 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:14.560 she's grieving at the moment. 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:20.239 That is the first first moment of Ginny I ever heard. 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.040 You showed me that last grab. I do feel sorry 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:26.280 for her because she's great after being a total cut. 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.200 Because Sally's husband had died not long before filming, and 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.520 Gina's just going her and that's what I love her 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:33.760 most for. 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.119 She's it's got these brutal one liners. 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.120 We talk about a couple of them in our interview 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.080 with her. One of them, of course, the most iconic, 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:45.320 I would say so one of the other housewives, Petti Flur, 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.960 was being a real punished. All the housewives were on 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:52.720 holiday in Dubai together and one by one, Petty Flour 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:56.200 was just pissing all the other housewives off, and Gina 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.640 just decided to put her back in her place. 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.360 All people are trying to do is explain to her 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:03.760 howard is it? She's rubbed them up the wrong way, 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.440 And all petty flu can think about is how she feels. 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:11.480 You're a gord woman doing you You need to slip 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:12.920 the fuck out of it. 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:15.480 I've had enough. 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:20.560 If you are indulged bow fucking shit every time, why 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.960 and make God's song and carry on? Jesus fuck me. 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:26.520 I just love her. 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.880 God, She's good. We didn't actually get much of that 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.559 energy in the podcast which will play the interview with Gina, 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:33.160 which I. 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:34.680 Was kind of hoping we would. 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:36.800 Yeah, me too, but no, if you listen to her 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.080 podcast with us in it, we definitely get more of 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.640 that Gina. She's playing her role in her show. But 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.360 in this interview it was actually really earnest and quite. 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:45.960 She was very warm. It was nice to hear this 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.640 side of Gina. So yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.000 the chat because we loved it. 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:50.400 Yeah. 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:54.760 Basically, what I learned was the Gina is actually very lovely, 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:56.200 but fuck you don't want to get on a bad 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:56.839 side that way. 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:57.239 I figured. 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.160 Amen.

Because I know you're excited for 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:19.120 our guests. 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:20.920 I mean, I thought the day would never come that 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.599 we'd get Gena Leanna on the podcast, but she's bloody here. 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:27.880 She's here, Gina, welcome, Hello guys. How are you? 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:28.080 Oh? 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.799 We are so good? You know Gina from the Real Housewives, 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:34.640 of course, I mean everywhere in Australia or her fragrance 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:35.680 at Chemist's Warehouse. 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.520 My god, I'm feeling a lot more relaxed now because 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:42.480 we've actually just wrapped up recording on Gina's podcast, Judge Gina. 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:43.360 So you're gonna have to go. 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.800 Listen to that because Mitch ripped me off and I've 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.039 brought it to Judge Gina to help me out here. 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:49.719 I'm not going to spoil the gevening, but you're gonna 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:51.120 have to go hear the podcast.

It is, Gina, my blood pressure 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:57.239 is through that. I got my GP on the line. 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.080 Just you need to get some new medication. Because that 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.800 was tense, Gina. That was a you do a great thing. 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.440 So yeah, just sharing a bit of the love for 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.600 my day to day job. I suppose with everybody. 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:09.600 It was funny because when we were trying to tea 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.440 this recording up, your producer would say, oh, you know, 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.160 we can't do this time, we can't do that day 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:18.200 because Gina is actually a barrister. The word actually we've 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:19.640 thrown them out a lot. Is if that's something that 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:21.080 people couldn't possibly believe. 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.279 Do people think that that was just for TV or something? 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.360 Not sure what people think. I can't really say, Bash, 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.840 I have been accused of being other things other than 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:29.400 a barrister. 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.880 I must say, is that not accurate? You are actually 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:32.400 a barrister. 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.159 I am. I'm a practicing barrister and I'm in court 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:35.640 every day. 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:39.520 It showed I did it. Oh my god, You're fantastic. 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.839 I mean, I get it's a podcast. It's entertainment, but 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:43.680 I thought I was in a real court of awe. 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:45.600 I mean, Mitch said to me after he went why 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:48.240 are you dripping? And I was, I'm sweating. I feel 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.000 like I'm being real. We're gonna have to go wear 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:51.600 a hole to monitor now for a month after that. 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.919 Do you get recognized in court? Do people say to you, 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.200 holy shit, that's Dean Leana, even if you know they're 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:57.719 there because they've done something wrong. 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:02.080 Yes, people recognize me and court often and I am 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:05.520 often asked for photographs, but I don't do them. I 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.080 say no, no photos in court. And the main reason 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:11.480 being is because people tend to put things on social 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.680 media and if they do see me in court, and 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:17.360 I practiced predominantly in the children's court or the family court, 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:22.160 and so a lot of the requests come from children, Yeah, 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:26.320 you know, teenagers, and if they posted on social media, 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:28.680 they say saw Gina in court? People last and what 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:30.880 are you doing in court? And that sort of gives 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.920 the game away that maybe there's issues there in their 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.760 life that so I don't want to burden them with 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.800 the responsibility of that. But I'm always flattered and if 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.240 they can catch me outside then I'm always willing and 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:43.040 able to do it. 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.480 Got photo outside the court, fair game, but not outside 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.040 the court. Yeah not inside? 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:48.840 Yeah good. 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:51.200 I got to say that podcast we just did with you, 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.080 part of me was kind of hoping that you'd insult 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.200 me at some stage because that was my favorite thing 0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:01.120 about Real house Eyes of Melbourne was your comebacks calling. 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:05.640 You an insignificant ass hair or something or something like that, 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:07.240 or snap the fuck out of it. 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:08.760 That one another great one. 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.440 Yes, I reckon my favorite disc from housewives and me. 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.440 Alboum was one of the other ladies said that you 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:15.960 had a vulgar mouth. 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.920 Well sang hashtag vulgar mouth that you have a vulgar mouth. Well, 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.360 I don't agree, and I think that you've got a 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:27.080 vulgar heart.

It's trending on Twitter. 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:19.040 I got I get Google notifications, and one of them 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.320 was that I had had thirty eight point seven million 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.040 views on It might have even been forty eight point 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.600 seven million views on TikTok or something. Follow an account 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.080 that has just constant housewives quote. 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.720 Constant they live on Yes and so, and everyone I 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.880 work with says, oh, you know, my friends and I 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.480 we send each other messages and we're quoting you all 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.040 the time. So I thought, okay, well, I've stepped back 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.760 from Housewives, which I loved, and I met gorgeous people 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:49.000 and I adored it. But I thought, well, maybe there's 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:50.880 some other things that I can do, and I happened 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.880 to be having my name. I was getting my nails done. 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.760 I was at a nail salon and there's this gorgeous 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:58.720 girl sitting next to me and she said to me, 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.640 on Gina, we love you at work. Are you going 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:03.800 to do anything else? And I said well. She said, oh, 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:05.840 I shouldn't ask you. I said, don't know, you can ask. 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.040 And I said to her, well, I'm not going back 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.240 to housewives at this stage. It was a big decision 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.960 to step away. I know it is a bit sad, 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.480 but I said I wouldn't mind maybe doing radio or 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.800 something like that. She said, well, that's interesting because I work. 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.199 At arm Really, what are the odds of that? 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:26.040 And that's how the introduction happened. And we talked about 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.320 a podcast and I said, well, I've always wanted to 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.720 do a judge Gina, like an Agony Auntie, where you know, 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:38.040 if people not really caught situations, but you know, situations where. 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:39.920 Petty shit like the situation we were in. 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.160 Well, just you know, if you've got a beef with 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.440 one of your friends, or you need to settle a 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:48.240 score of some sort, you know who's right who's wrong. 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:49.280 You know. 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.640 The beef could be you had a party and you 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:55.960 bought all the beer or all the alcohol and your 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.240 friend's friends drank it. Also maybe hit the friends should 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.280 contribute to the alcohol, you know, something like that, and 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.720 we try and quantify things. So I mean, I haven't 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:06.640 had a case like that, by the way, but you 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:10.800 know that sort of thing where it's usually two friends 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.840 who have got just this little tiff going on and 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:15.920 they need it settled. And most of the people will 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.920 walk away and accept the decision that I've made. I 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:19.840 try and keep it. 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:24.320 No, no, we won't spoil our vert to go listen, And 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:26.840 I think most people are happy or they can see 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:30.400 the rationale behind it and accept that that is the 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.200 final decision and that the argument is now over. 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.960 So there's some satisfaction and that's a lot of fun. 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:40.760 But what I do find is that while I am 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:44.319 going through the motions of cross examining the parties because 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:48.560 obviously they're self represented so I need to quiz them, 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:52.080 they tend to fall apart pretty quickly, and I think 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:54.679 they feel quite intimidated. 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:56.960 As soon as you ask me to recall dates that 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:58.720 I was like, fuck me, I don't even know what 0:11:58.800 --> 0:11:59.400 date is today? 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:01.480 What I've got. 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.559 They feel quite intimidated very quickly, and if not, I 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:06.880 pulled them into line and make sure they do it. 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.319 You called us by our surnames, which made it feel 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.600 even more real, like I was more of mister Tury 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:12.640 you were mister Coombs. 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:14.760 You would have had to have studied for a very 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.040 long time at UNI or whatever to become a barrass 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:17.959 the right I did. 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:21.560 I did three degrees in a batchel of business in marketing, 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.240 and I did a Bachelor of Arts where I made 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:27.439 it actually in visual arts. So really I'm qualified curator, 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.000 and I did a law degree as well. But I'm 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.720 also a celebrant, and I did a course to become 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:35.320 a celerance. 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.040 How many gay weddings do you get asked to do, Gina, 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:38.880 I mean, I'm. 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.760 Sure I've done many. I've done many same six weddings. 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:43.600 So in December, I think it was the seventh of 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:51.120 December of two thousand and seventeen, the legislation changed. Oh yeah, 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.000 and it was no longer the union of a man 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.400 and woman. It was the union of two people. And 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.800 generally a couple needs to give thirty days no in 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:04.840 order to marry and that's thirty days before the ceremony. 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:08.440 And so I actually conducted my very first same sex 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:12.840 ceremony about thirty five days after the legislation was ratified. 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.320 So I got the notice of intended marriage in that 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.360 week and we had the wedding pretty much a month later. 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:19.679 So I was straight in. 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:23.360 They would have had that notice and that email draft ready, 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:25.439 they had the idea of years ago to get Jeane. 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:29.160 Yeah, it was fantastic. So I've done about eighty so far, 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.640 and I do. I do same sex mainly, and it's 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.920 mainly boys. Actually, I do get a lot of girls, 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.360 but I think the girls aren't getting married as much 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:37.720 as or as. 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.600 Those gay boys. We love it, the gay boys, the 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.079 matching suits and the bow ties and the dogs walking 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:43.480 down there. 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.400 But you know, it's a lot of fun. I love 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.200 it so much, and it's so different to what I 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.440 do in my day to day job because generally my 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.480 day to day job there's not a lot of love. 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.640 I can imagine, and so this is really refreshing. Travel 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:58.439 to do weddings, yeah, I. 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:01.280 Travel as well into stag Yeah, do them all around 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:01.920 the Australia. 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:04.880 Does it make you happy watching the seasons after you 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:08.040 on Housewives not be as successful knowing you're gone. 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.800 Although there's only been one season after I left, and 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.840 the feedback is that it wasn't quite as successful, to 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.400 the point really that there wasn't a reunion. Whether or 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:19.000 not that was success based or not, I'll give you. 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:20.240 The feedback from my own mouth. 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.480 It was fucking dog sheet without you really ruined a 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:25.400 series for me, Jana, honestly, But I. 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.400 Made a difference. I'll have to accept that. 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:29.600 Did you watch much of it? 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.800 I watched a little bit of it, and I didn't 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:36.280 find it quite as entertaining as and not because I 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.400 watched myself and I'm entertained. I think it was just 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:42.520 the dynamic of all the girls in the seasons prior 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.360 to that. I think the girls tried and they you know, 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.720 they put in a good effort, but it was I 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:50.640 think it was just a tough act to follow. We 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:54.520 were just a great cast were you know, Sydney struggled, 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.040 New Zealand struggled, and we were just a great cast. 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:00.400 It was a good dynamic, you know, and everyone could 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:05.400 there was no competition really, we all had different things 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:08.040 to offer us, so, you know, I think just all 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:08.960 round it was great. 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.920 So that's disappointing. I suppose I did maybe let a 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:13.880 few people downtime. 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.160 I'm sorry about that. Hopefully on my podcast I can 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:18.720 reconnect with the audience. 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:19.360 Oh you will. 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:21.000 Here's what you can do to make it up to me. 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:21.760 Yeah, what's that. 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.400 I've heard rumors that because the latest Melbourne season without 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.240 you was a little bit rubbish, they're like, we might 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:28.400 give Sydney another crack. 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:29.240 So what you need to do. 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:32.560 Is move to Sydney in time for production so that 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.400 you can be on the revamped house I was a 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:35.080 Sydney deal. 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.880 Well, I've got a feeling that if I said that 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.120 I would come back to the show, that they would 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.840 do it in Melbourne. Wow, and I wouldn't need to 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:43.760 move to Sydney. 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.800 So okay, could you grab your phone right now and 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:48.680 send the text because I need a new thing. 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.080 Landy Cohen, get him on the phone and say you'll 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.600 do it. That's the power that you have Gena to 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:56.480 reboot a franchise by saying yes, I mean, come on, 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:57.360 make your sleep. 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.080 Well, I've got some ideas about what I could do 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:05.000 in relation to Housewives, but it's not as a cast member. 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:06.680 So we'll keep that in. 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.400 I'll keep that in the can and maybe we'll have 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.320 something else to talk about down the track. 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.479 Maybe should we do in the reunion episode. 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:16.240 We got yeah hosted? 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:18.440 Well, that'd be fun. I would actually love to do 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:19.720 that too. 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.200 You'd call them out on their shit, I would do I. 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:27.000 Would host the reunions. Yes, I would do that for sure. Yeah. 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:31.720 Is it just podcast by a couple of midges. So 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:32.400 talk to us. 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:33.000 What have we missed? 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.040 You haven't been on house Lives in the most recent season. 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.240 It's been a few years since then. Apart from you know, 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:40.040 its going to work doing the law thing as per usual. 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.120 What have we missed? What's happening in jenas well? 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.640 So I suppose while being a marriage celebrant and doing 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:49.880 you know, practicing in law has been my main gig. 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:52.360 And then we were in lockdown for a little while, 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.960 you know, as you know we all were, and in 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.160 Melbourne in particular, I think we were in lockdown a 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.240 lot longer than you guys were in Sydney, and I 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:04.600
