<v Speaker 4>Be rolling on in a mirror ball from with the Stars.

0:00:54.819 --> 0:00:57.579
<v Speaker 4>I was going to carry around in my bag. I lost.

0:00:58.019 --> 0:01:01.619
<v Speaker 1>I know, Yeah, I'm sorry. How did you take the lose?

0:01:02.299 --> 0:01:02.499
<v Speaker 3>Well?

0:01:02.579 --> 0:01:05.779
<v Speaker 4>Part of me wants to pretend I didn't hurt it hurt?

0:01:05.979 --> 0:01:06.219
<v Speaker 1>Did it?

0:01:06.339 --> 0:01:06.619
<v Speaker 2>Really?

0:01:06.658 --> 0:01:09.898
<v Speaker 3>Did you? Because you know what, I put so much

0:01:09.979 --> 0:01:12.898
<v Speaker 3>into that I left toenails on the dance floor.

0:01:14.339 --> 0:01:15.978
<v Speaker 2>I left my dignity on that dance floor.

0:01:16.018 --> 0:01:18.018
<v Speaker 3>In dignity, of course, you want to win, and you

0:01:18.059 --> 0:01:20.059
<v Speaker 3>get to that point and you realize you actually might

0:01:20.098 --> 0:01:22.338
<v Speaker 3>be able to and you put so much blood, sweat

0:01:22.339 --> 0:01:24.219
<v Speaker 3>and tears in like I think people don't know how

0:01:24.298 --> 0:01:27.339
<v Speaker 3>hard you work months, seven days a week, ten hours

0:01:27.378 --> 0:01:28.859
<v Speaker 3>a day, like, yeah, we're brit some.

0:01:28.818 --> 0:01:30.419
<v Speaker 1>Of your training days were Dancing with the Stars was

0:01:30.419 --> 0:01:31.738
<v Speaker 1>like thirteen hour training days.

0:01:31.859 --> 0:01:32.098
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:01:32.098 --> 0:01:35.219
<v Speaker 3>Crazy, yeah, And I thought, do you know what hard

0:01:35.219 --> 0:01:38.098
<v Speaker 3>work pays off? But it doesn't, So don't work hard kids,

0:01:38.179 --> 0:01:42.179
<v Speaker 3>no joking. But Kyle Shilling, honestly, that was incredible.

0:01:42.339 --> 0:01:45.499
<v Speaker 2>He's too good though. He's actually a professional dancer.

0:01:45.658 --> 0:01:48.219
<v Speaker 1>No, but do you know what, There's been plenty of

0:01:48.219 --> 0:01:50.779
<v Speaker 1>professional dancers before that, all trained because he's not professional.

0:01:50.779 --> 0:01:51.779
<v Speaker 2>I mean he's a professional actor.

0:01:51.859 --> 0:01:52.618
<v Speaker 4>He was in a dance school.

0:01:52.659 --> 0:01:55.139
<v Speaker 2>He went to dance school. Yeah, there's a reason is brilliant.

0:01:55.179 --> 0:01:58.178
<v Speaker 4>But his dance, like he started with a didjury doo.

0:01:58.179 --> 0:02:02.059
<v Speaker 4>If you guys haven't seen it, it was like heart stopping.

0:02:02.139 --> 0:02:03.618
<v Speaker 4>It was a really beautiful dance.

0:02:03.659 --> 0:02:04.619
<v Speaker 2>It was really amazing.

0:02:04.699 --> 0:02:07.299
<v Speaker 1>I did feel a little bit sad for shaw Mcalliff though, because.

0:02:07.139 --> 0:02:09.179
<v Speaker 2>I honestly lost to Laura.

0:02:09.419 --> 0:02:10.899
<v Speaker 1>Yeah this is true, this is true, but you didn't.

0:02:10.939 --> 0:02:12.578
<v Speaker 1>Then when I got down to the final two, i'd

0:02:12.619 --> 0:02:13.859
<v Speaker 1>you know, I also have a.

0:02:13.819 --> 0:02:15.339
<v Speaker 2>Real soft swat for sure, And I thought it did

0:02:15.419 --> 0:02:15.819
<v Speaker 2>really good.

0:02:16.419 --> 0:02:18.418
<v Speaker 4>Okay, celebrity crush.

0:02:18.899 --> 0:02:21.978
<v Speaker 2>You were all so great, You're amazing. Such an afterthought

0:02:22.258 --> 0:02:25.258
<v Speaker 2>you were, and we're so proud of you.

0:02:25.379 --> 0:02:28.019
<v Speaker 1>Next time when it's like when they next time, no,

0:02:28.059 --> 0:02:30.899
<v Speaker 1>because they do, they do the All Star one, you

0:02:30.939 --> 0:02:32.099
<v Speaker 1>can go back and do it again.

0:02:32.258 --> 0:02:35.659
<v Speaker 2>I can't. I defeated it, defeated so much.

0:02:35.698 --> 0:02:37.739
<v Speaker 4>I couldn't have put in more. So there's no point

0:02:37.739 --> 0:02:39.819
<v Speaker 4>for me doing it again because I just get crushed again.

0:02:40.138 --> 0:02:44.499
<v Speaker 2>That's the spirit. Well, wasn't you know?

0:02:44.619 --> 0:02:46.859
<v Speaker 3>I'm just going to exit where I was. Let's exit

0:02:46.899 --> 0:02:50.739
<v Speaker 3>at a final and yeah, whatever, Laura. I know I

0:02:50.899 --> 0:02:54.219
<v Speaker 3>just got married. But I sort of low key went

0:02:54.258 --> 0:02:56.418
<v Speaker 3>on a kind of blind date on the weekend.

0:02:56.499 --> 0:02:58.299
<v Speaker 4>And it's not I don't want to say date. I

0:02:58.339 --> 0:03:00.539
<v Speaker 4>went on a blind friends sporting date. I don't know

0:03:00.538 --> 0:03:01.179
<v Speaker 4>what to call it.

0:03:01.258 --> 0:03:04.939
<v Speaker 1>Yet you seem confused because I didn't.

0:03:04.659 --> 0:03:05.659
<v Speaker 2>Really know this is a thing.

0:03:05.819 --> 0:03:07.299
<v Speaker 3>But I feel like it's a bit of a PSA

0:03:07.739 --> 0:03:09.339
<v Speaker 3>for people out there wanting to meet.

0:03:09.179 --> 0:03:11.219
<v Speaker 4>New people, but like as friends.

0:03:11.739 --> 0:03:14.339
<v Speaker 3>So I was up on the Gold Coast and I

0:03:14.379 --> 0:03:17.698
<v Speaker 3>have this new obsession with playing paddle, like the paddle tennis.

0:03:17.739 --> 0:03:18.619
<v Speaker 4>If you guys don't know.

0:03:18.579 --> 0:03:21.099
<v Speaker 3>It's like that little mini tennis kind of thing that

0:03:21.099 --> 0:03:22.379
<v Speaker 3>you play in a glass box.

0:03:22.499 --> 0:03:24.858
<v Speaker 1>Is it the same as a few people know there's

0:03:24.859 --> 0:03:28.459
<v Speaker 1>pickleball that paddle tennis. Sorry, everyone's been trying to get

0:03:28.459 --> 0:03:30.419
<v Speaker 1>me to play pickleball, and I'm like, I'm too pregnant

0:03:30.418 --> 0:03:30.899
<v Speaker 1>for pickleball.

0:03:31.019 --> 0:03:35.019
<v Speaker 3>This, so my sister started Sherry's started playing paddle at

0:03:35.019 --> 0:03:37.618
<v Speaker 3>seven months pregnant, and she loved it because it's it's

0:03:37.659 --> 0:03:40.219
<v Speaker 3>not as like excessive as tennis.

0:03:40.259 --> 0:03:43.419
<v Speaker 4>It's really small. But anyway, whatever, we're getting sidetracks.

0:03:43.539 --> 0:03:46.739
<v Speaker 3>We are not sponsored by pickleball, sponsored by paddle or people. So,

0:03:47.179 --> 0:03:49.179
<v Speaker 3>but the thing is you have to play it against people.

0:03:49.219 --> 0:03:51.619
<v Speaker 3>So usually you play two v two. Yeah, And so

0:03:51.739 --> 0:03:53.859
<v Speaker 3>we didn't have anyone to play with because we don't

0:03:53.859 --> 0:03:57.099
<v Speaker 3>have many friends and people work. So we found like

0:03:57.179 --> 0:04:00.819
<v Speaker 3>this group where you go into a WhatsApp group and

0:04:00.859 --> 0:04:04.179
<v Speaker 3>it has all these members and you just blind like

0:04:04.259 --> 0:04:06.379
<v Speaker 3>put a call out for somebody to play with.

0:04:06.659 --> 0:04:09.619
<v Speaker 4>So it's just adults asking other adult strangers that they.

0:04:09.579 --> 0:04:10.139
<v Speaker 2>Don't know this.

0:04:10.219 --> 0:04:12.059
<v Speaker 4>You don't have pictures, you don't know anything about them.

0:04:12.619 --> 0:04:15.099
<v Speaker 3>You put in your level of like where how good

0:04:15.219 --> 0:04:17.259
<v Speaker 3>you think you are? Which we put ourselves at the bottom,

0:04:17.299 --> 0:04:19.699
<v Speaker 3>so you put Haye, we're level C minus because that's

0:04:19.699 --> 0:04:22.339
<v Speaker 3>what we are. So we hey, guys, two people C

0:04:22.579 --> 0:04:25.619
<v Speaker 3>minus in this area looking for friends to play with,

0:04:25.779 --> 0:04:26.819
<v Speaker 3>and then other people.

0:04:26.779 --> 0:04:29.179
<v Speaker 4>Respond that are also like C minus.

0:04:28.859 --> 0:04:31.739
<v Speaker 3>Or B and then you swap number and then you

0:04:31.859 --> 0:04:34.619
<v Speaker 3>just meet. We were really nervous because we're like, they're waiting.

0:04:34.659 --> 0:04:36.659
<v Speaker 3>You don't know who you're looking out for, Like all

0:04:36.659 --> 0:04:38.699
<v Speaker 3>these people walking past you like, is that them?

0:04:39.019 --> 0:04:41.379
<v Speaker 1>And then the people with the rackets usually is the

0:04:41.379 --> 0:04:42.059
<v Speaker 1>dead giveaway.

0:04:42.219 --> 0:04:44.819
<v Speaker 3>Not la. You're at a place with like fifty courts

0:04:44.859 --> 0:04:46.819
<v Speaker 3>everyone has or so you're.

0:04:46.739 --> 0:04:48.899
<v Speaker 1>Waiting out the front on the corner of the cafe. No,

0:04:49.099 --> 0:04:51.019
<v Speaker 1>you go to the coffee first, guys.

0:04:50.739 --> 0:04:52.979
<v Speaker 4>You go to the courts and it's a whole tennis court.

0:04:53.059 --> 0:04:56.819
<v Speaker 1>These two guys turned up.

0:04:56.939 --> 0:04:58.619
<v Speaker 4>One was Italian, one was English.

0:04:58.739 --> 0:05:01.299
<v Speaker 3>They were a bit above C minus and it's the

0:05:01.339 --> 0:05:04.099
<v Speaker 3>equivalent of been on a first date, the nerves and stuff,

0:05:04.099 --> 0:05:05.739
<v Speaker 3>because you you sort of have to start to get

0:05:05.779 --> 0:05:07.659
<v Speaker 3>to know them, but you're also playing against them and

0:05:07.659 --> 0:05:09.219
<v Speaker 3>you're trying to work out it your friends and if

0:05:09.259 --> 0:05:10.139
<v Speaker 3>you want to play again.

0:05:10.379 --> 0:05:12.419
<v Speaker 1>You're not on a date, breat you're playing paddle bits

0:05:12.419 --> 0:05:15.539
<v Speaker 1>a friend date. Okay, something that's slightly similar to this,

0:05:15.979 --> 0:05:19.739
<v Speaker 1>probably actually more so that you have to kind of

0:05:19.779 --> 0:05:21.419
<v Speaker 1>like I don't know how to describe it, Like I

0:05:21.459 --> 0:05:22.899
<v Speaker 1>want to say feel it out, but that's not the

0:05:22.979 --> 0:05:26.259
<v Speaker 1>right words. Was when I started doing solsa dancing, because

0:05:26.259 --> 0:05:28.379
<v Speaker 1>you you obviously you go as a solo person. Some

0:05:28.419 --> 0:05:30.699
<v Speaker 1>people go with their partners, but if you're single and

0:05:30.739 --> 0:05:33.499
<v Speaker 1>you're going solo like solsa dancing, you just end up

0:05:33.499 --> 0:05:35.459
<v Speaker 1>getting partnered up with someone. And then you've got some

0:05:35.619 --> 0:05:39.379
<v Speaker 1>random dude who's solsa dancing you and he literally is feeling.

0:05:39.219 --> 0:05:40.939
<v Speaker 2>You up, and like half the time you're like are

0:05:40.939 --> 0:05:43.659
<v Speaker 2>you hitting on me? Are we friends? Are we are?

0:05:43.699 --> 0:05:44.379
<v Speaker 3>We? Like?

0:05:44.379 --> 0:05:45.259
<v Speaker 2>What are we doing here?

0:05:45.459 --> 0:05:47.819
<v Speaker 1>And it's just like there's a weird dynamic that happens

0:05:47.859 --> 0:05:51.139
<v Speaker 1>because like you can obviously go solsa dancing, it's very platonic,

0:05:51.659 --> 0:05:53.379
<v Speaker 1>but there's a part of you that's like, how do

0:05:53.419 --> 0:05:54.939
<v Speaker 1>I make sure this person knows that this is a

0:05:54.939 --> 0:05:56.619
<v Speaker 1>platonic experience for him as well?

0:05:56.659 --> 0:05:58.059
<v Speaker 3>Well? I just thought it was a really good way

0:05:58.099 --> 0:05:59.779
<v Speaker 3>to make friends as an adult, but it was funny.

0:05:59.859 --> 0:06:02.339
<v Speaker 3>So what happened was they came as twos and they'd

0:06:02.339 --> 0:06:05.299
<v Speaker 3>only met through paddle as well, so they've been playing together.

0:06:05.019 --> 0:06:05.738
<v Speaker 4>For a few weeks.

0:06:05.939 --> 0:06:09.139
<v Speaker 3>We went as three, so myself share, my sister and

0:06:09.139 --> 0:06:12.419
<v Speaker 3>her partner and we just one of us just rotated through. Anyway,

0:06:12.659 --> 0:06:14.059
<v Speaker 3>we played for an hour and a half, had a

0:06:14.099 --> 0:06:17.179
<v Speaker 3>great time, got to know each other. Then afterwards one

0:06:17.219 --> 0:06:20.939
<v Speaker 3>of the guys texted Jay separately out of the group

0:06:21.099 --> 0:06:24.019
<v Speaker 3>and asked to switch partners, and he said, will you

0:06:24.139 --> 0:06:25.178
<v Speaker 3>be my new paddle friend?

0:06:25.219 --> 0:06:26.459
<v Speaker 4>And he didn't want to play with me and Sherry

0:06:26.459 --> 0:06:27.619
<v Speaker 4>and he didn't want to play with his friend.

0:06:27.659 --> 0:06:29.139
<v Speaker 2>So it was like this weird couple breakup.

0:06:29.179 --> 0:06:31.339
<v Speaker 4>We only just got together and now they're going off

0:06:31.379 --> 0:06:31.779
<v Speaker 4>as too.

0:06:33.979 --> 0:06:38.019
<v Speaker 1>Okay, anyway, Grace, did you produce a grace?

0:06:38.059 --> 0:06:40.139
<v Speaker 2>Did you allow this? I didn't know would go in this.

0:06:42.739 --> 0:06:44.099
<v Speaker 4>It's a whole new world out there.

0:06:44.179 --> 0:06:46.179
<v Speaker 2>A lot happened on BRIT's weekend. Hey who it was

0:06:46.179 --> 0:06:46.859
<v Speaker 2>a real well one.

0:06:47.259 --> 0:06:49.979
<v Speaker 4>Sorry, sorry, that's the life I leave.

0:06:49.859 --> 0:06:52.259
<v Speaker 2>Give us the update. I want to know. Did you

0:06:52.259 --> 0:06:56.499

<v Speaker 4>My point, Laura.

0:06:57.379 --> 0:06:59.699
<v Speaker 3>If people are out there, it's really hard to make

0:06:59.779 --> 0:07:01.859
<v Speaker 3>friends as an adult and I'm just putting this out

0:07:01.899 --> 0:07:02.539
<v Speaker 3>there for people.

0:07:02.899 --> 0:07:05.379

0:07:15.259 --> 0:07:18.099
<v Speaker 2>is everyone in this group? Range? Big range?

0:07:18.619 --> 0:07:21.819
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it would with a community gard wouldn't it great?

0:07:22.019 --> 0:07:22.419
<v Speaker 4>All right?

0:07:24.379 --> 0:07:26.859
<v Speaker 1>There are two types of parents out there, two types

0:07:26.899 --> 0:07:29.859
<v Speaker 1>of mums I think specifically just too yeah, just two

0:07:30.059 --> 0:07:32.139
<v Speaker 1>just to you can you can whittle them down into

0:07:32.139 --> 0:07:36.939
<v Speaker 1>two categories. There's mums who make birthday cakes. It is

0:07:36.979 --> 0:07:40.179
<v Speaker 1>a labor of love. They plan it. It's meticulous.

0:07:40.339 --> 0:07:40.539
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:07:40.939 --> 0:07:42.819
<v Speaker 1>Actually I shouldn't say just mums. You know you got

0:07:42.819 --> 0:07:44.339
<v Speaker 1>your Hamish Blake's he does a cake.

0:07:44.139 --> 0:07:45.739
<v Speaker 4>Off every year. Let's say parents.

0:07:45.979 --> 0:07:48.779
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I think particularly mums do a lot of it,

0:07:48.819 --> 0:07:51.299
<v Speaker 1>you know, like my sister, she's a mum who makes

0:07:51.299 --> 0:07:53.699
<v Speaker 1>a cake for every single kid's birthday, Like it is

0:07:53.819 --> 0:07:57.419
<v Speaker 1>just part and parcel of like childhood core memories. And

0:07:57.459 --> 0:07:59.539
<v Speaker 1>then you have mums who are not really cake makers.

0:07:59.659 --> 0:08:01.699
<v Speaker 2>I e. Me, I'm a cake decorator.

0:08:01.939 --> 0:08:04.739
<v Speaker 1>I like to buy a Cohle's pre bought cake and

0:08:04.779 --> 0:08:06.539
<v Speaker 1>then I just stick some Smarties on it and I

0:08:06.619 --> 0:08:07.219
<v Speaker 1>upscale it.

0:08:07.379 --> 0:08:08.499
<v Speaker 2>The reason I'm talking about this.

0:08:08.459 --> 0:08:11.219
<v Speaker 1>Is because on the weekend, one of my girlfriends she

0:08:11.299 --> 0:08:13.899
<v Speaker 1>was telling me about how she and she's like a

0:08:13.899 --> 0:08:16.859
<v Speaker 1>big cake baker, like she like loves her kid's birthdays.

0:08:17.179 --> 0:08:19.259
<v Speaker 1>No kid has ever gone without a cake being made.

0:08:19.899 --> 0:08:23.499
<v Speaker 1>And it was her daughter's first birthday, right, so she thought,

0:08:23.539 --> 0:08:25.979
<v Speaker 1>what better way to celebrate my kid's first birthday than

0:08:26.019 --> 0:08:30.259
<v Speaker 1>doing a beautiful number one cake, iconic simple, Gonna do

0:08:30.299 --> 0:08:31.019
<v Speaker 1>some like cute.

0:08:30.819 --> 0:08:33.379
<v Speaker 2>Little freckle flowers all over it, gonna have.

0:08:33.299 --> 0:08:36.019
<v Speaker 1>It, give it a little green stems with little beautiful

0:08:36.099 --> 0:08:36.779
<v Speaker 1>leaves on there.

0:08:36.819 --> 0:08:39.098
<v Speaker 2>And then she outlined the whole thing in pink.

0:08:39.499 --> 0:08:42.379
<v Speaker 1>And when she showed me the cake that she made,

0:08:43.099 --> 0:08:45.259
<v Speaker 1>it reinforced that this is the reason why I don't

0:08:45.299 --> 0:08:45.819
<v Speaker 1>make cakes.

0:08:45.859 --> 0:08:46.379
<v Speaker 2>I just want to.

0:08:46.419 --> 0:08:49.139
<v Speaker 1>I want to show you this, Britt, and I want

0:08:49.139 --> 0:08:51.499
<v Speaker 1>you to instantly describe to me what you think it is.

0:08:51.659 --> 0:08:57.179
<v Speaker 4>Okay, it's a giant penis.

0:08:58.259 --> 0:09:01.259
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, it's a pee when you put it

0:09:01.299 --> 0:09:03.059
<v Speaker 1>on the side, especially.

0:09:02.939 --> 0:09:04.139
<v Speaker 2>Any directions.

0:09:05.259 --> 0:09:06.619
<v Speaker 4>You don't have to put on the side.

0:09:06.979 --> 0:09:08.739
<v Speaker 1>It kind of, unfortunately came out of the other and

0:09:08.819 --> 0:09:11.139
<v Speaker 1>a little bit tilted. So the one instead of having like,

0:09:11.499 --> 0:09:13.699
<v Speaker 1>you know, like a seraph tip to it, it certainly

0:09:13.699 --> 0:09:18.139
<v Speaker 1>has a tip, but it's it's joy and so unfortunate.

0:09:18.419 --> 0:09:20.139
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna put this on the pickup socials, so you

0:09:20.179 --> 0:09:21.338
<v Speaker 1>have to go and see it. You can find it

0:09:21.379 --> 0:09:24.659
<v Speaker 1>on Instagram to pick up. But honestly, it's just so unfortunate.

0:09:24.699 --> 0:09:27.819
<v Speaker 1>Even the freckles and the detail look like it's part

0:09:27.859 --> 0:09:30.459
<v Speaker 1>of the Yeah, I words that we can't use on

0:09:30.579 --> 0:09:31.539
<v Speaker 1>radio three PM.

0:09:31.579 --> 0:09:33.259
<v Speaker 3>There's a reason I don't cook either, Like I just

0:09:33.259 --> 0:09:35.019
<v Speaker 3>get pre made meal sent to my door. I'm gonna

0:09:35.019 --> 0:09:36.619
<v Speaker 3>show you a photo I tried to make a cake

0:09:36.699 --> 0:09:38.619
<v Speaker 3>for my sister's birthday. Now, my sister and I am

0:09:38.619 --> 0:09:41.939
<v Speaker 3>best friends. We traveled the world together for three years,

0:09:41.939 --> 0:09:43.338
<v Speaker 3>like we did this big around the world trip. And

0:09:43.379 --> 0:09:45.179
<v Speaker 3>the reason I say that is because I tried to

0:09:45.259 --> 0:09:49.139
<v Speaker 3>do like an travel inspired cake for her birthday.

0:09:49.739 --> 0:09:51.739
<v Speaker 4>So this is what it was supposed to be, Laura.

0:09:51.859 --> 0:09:53.739
<v Speaker 3>So it's a it's a blue cake, so it looks

0:09:53.779 --> 0:09:56.019
<v Speaker 3>like you're in the sky, and then this is a

0:09:56.019 --> 0:09:59.219
<v Speaker 3>hot air balloon that's made out of biscuits, and then it's.

0:09:59.059 --> 0:10:01.218
<v Speaker 4>Got a big balloon on the top. So then it's

0:10:01.219 --> 0:10:02.979
<v Speaker 4>got covered in clouds.

0:10:02.499 --> 0:10:04.899
<v Speaker 3>Like and these two little dolls in it that are

0:10:04.939 --> 0:10:06.819
<v Speaker 3>supposed to be representative and you're supposed to be like

0:10:06.859 --> 0:10:07.699
<v Speaker 3>traveling through the air.

0:10:07.899 --> 0:10:09.579
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this the bridge showing me right now.

0:10:09.579 --> 0:10:12.459
<v Speaker 1>It's a very ambitious That looks like an ambitious undertaking

0:10:12.459 --> 0:10:13.819
<v Speaker 1>for someone who doesn't make cakes.

0:10:13.859 --> 0:10:14.659
<v Speaker 4>Oh here's my cake.

0:10:18.179 --> 0:10:21.659
<v Speaker 3>Oh dear, it's actually such a mess. And I tried

0:10:21.699 --> 0:10:23.539
<v Speaker 3>to put that's a little folk cut out photo of.

0:10:23.499 --> 0:10:26.578
<v Speaker 2>Us gami cranes around it.

0:10:26.579 --> 0:10:29.899
<v Speaker 4>That's the birds flying in the air. We're supposed I'm

0:10:29.899 --> 0:10:31.139
<v Speaker 4>going to put it up on the pig arm.

0:10:31.179 --> 0:10:33.539
<v Speaker 3>It's supposed to be like. Okay, it's a mess. It

0:10:33.539 --> 0:10:36.139
<v Speaker 3>looks like a two year old made. It's actually disgraceful.

0:10:36.259 --> 0:10:37.338
<v Speaker 3>It looks like a pillow with a.

0:10:37.299 --> 0:10:39.899
<v Speaker 2>Turd on top.

0:10:40.379 --> 0:10:43.619
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, I understand the pain that your friend feels, but

0:10:43.699 --> 0:10:46.499
<v Speaker 3>I've never come close to making.

0:10:46.259 --> 0:10:48.099
<v Speaker 4>What she made, especially for a one year old.

0:10:48.099 --> 0:10:49.179
<v Speaker 2>Couldn't be more inappropriate.

0:10:49.299 --> 0:10:51.139
<v Speaker 1>No, well, I mean this is still pretty bad, though.

0:10:51.179 --> 0:10:53.819
<v Speaker 1>You could have just bought this unfortunately bred anyway.

0:10:53.539 --> 0:10:55.699
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't buy that. Okay, people send us though, if

0:10:55.699 --> 0:10:56.699
<v Speaker 2>you've ever had a cake fail.

0:10:56.739 --> 0:10:58.379
<v Speaker 1>We want to see it because some people do them

0:10:58.379 --> 0:11:00.259
<v Speaker 1>so well, you know that whole cake or not trend.

0:11:01.499 --> 0:11:03.619
<v Speaker 2>And then there's that, Then there's Brittany Hockley's abomination.

0:11:05.259 --> 0:11:07.579
<v Speaker 3>There's an app, a new app, Laura, that is taking

0:11:07.579 --> 0:11:10.099
<v Speaker 3>the world by storm and it's very controversial.

0:11:10.179 --> 0:11:11.939
<v Speaker 4>It's dividing opinions online.

0:11:12.379 --> 0:11:14.859
<v Speaker 3>It's something we've spoken about a little bit before ourselves.

0:11:14.979 --> 0:11:18.419
<v Speaker 3>But it's the number one downloaded app in the US

0:11:18.539 --> 0:11:22.699
<v Speaker 3>right now. And it's called Tea as in Tea and

0:11:22.819 --> 0:11:26.619
<v Speaker 3>essentially it's a women's only app where men have zero

0:11:26.739 --> 0:11:29.979
<v Speaker 3>access to it, but you can go to I want

0:11:29.979 --> 0:11:33.739
<v Speaker 3>to say report, but I guess out bad behavior from

0:11:33.819 --> 0:11:36.699
<v Speaker 3>men that you have been on dates with or had

0:11:36.739 --> 0:11:39.499
<v Speaker 3>experience with or whatever. It's sort of like that app

0:11:39.539 --> 0:11:41.979
<v Speaker 3>a few years ago in Australia it's called.

0:11:41.779 --> 0:11:43.299
<v Speaker 4>Like SIS Is this Your Man?

0:11:43.499 --> 0:11:43.739
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:11:44.099 --> 0:11:45.859
<v Speaker 1>Sis, is this your Man? I mean it still exists. Yes,

0:11:45.859 --> 0:11:47.458
<v Speaker 1>it's the Facebook page and stuff. You're not allowed to

0:11:47.459 --> 0:11:49.099
<v Speaker 1>talk about it, so we'll probably get blocked from it.

0:11:49.339 --> 0:11:52.219
<v Speaker 1>But basically the premise of this was set up and

0:11:52.259 --> 0:11:53.779
<v Speaker 1>I think T is kind of the same thing. It

0:11:53.859 --> 0:11:57.419
<v Speaker 1>was set up to create more safe dating spaces for women.

0:11:57.459 --> 0:11:59.419
<v Speaker 1>So if you had a really bad experience on a date,

0:11:59.419 --> 0:12:02.339
<v Speaker 1>if something's happened that was like problematic, you could go

0:12:02.459 --> 0:12:04.899
<v Speaker 1>on there and share and warn other women so that

0:12:05.099 --> 0:12:07.219
<v Speaker 1>they didn't have the same fate as what you did.

0:12:07.579 --> 0:12:10.179
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and what's happening is there's a lot of kickback

0:12:10.259 --> 0:12:12.339
<v Speaker 3>because you can say whatever you want in there. At

0:12:12.339 --> 0:12:14.699
<v Speaker 3>the end of the day, you're supposed to, obviously, only

0:12:14.739 --> 0:12:16.699
<v Speaker 3>say the truth. You're not supposed to make up stories

0:12:16.699 --> 0:12:19.299
<v Speaker 3>about somebody. It's not supposed to be revenge to get

0:12:19.339 --> 0:12:22.019
<v Speaker 3>back at someone, but it can cause obviously a lot

0:12:22.019 --> 0:12:25.699
<v Speaker 3>of reputational damage to somebody. There's no way of knowing

0:12:25.979 --> 0:12:28.419
<v Speaker 3>what someone is saying in this app is true or not,

0:12:28.499 --> 0:12:31.379
<v Speaker 3>because it's just someone's experience, in someone's story. And now

0:12:31.739 --> 0:12:33.899
<v Speaker 3>I'm not quite sure this is the right thing to do.

0:12:34.019 --> 0:12:35.619
<v Speaker 3>I felt like this when we spoke about it a

0:12:35.619 --> 0:12:38.379
<v Speaker 3>few years ago. I still feel like it at.

0:12:38.219 --> 0:12:40.579
<v Speaker 4>The end of the day. And I'm not sticking up

0:12:40.619 --> 0:12:43.259
<v Speaker 4>for men here. If this was reverse but if.

0:12:43.139 --> 0:12:44.858
<v Speaker 2>It don't, don't be mistaken.

0:12:45.099 --> 0:12:47.379
<v Speaker 3>No, if it was reversed, I would feel the same way.

0:12:47.539 --> 0:12:50.459
<v Speaker 3>I just think you get into dangerous territory where you

0:12:50.619 --> 0:12:53.659
<v Speaker 3>can be in a group of people with potentially millions

0:12:53.739 --> 0:12:55.939
<v Speaker 3>of people in that group, and you can say whatever

0:12:55.979 --> 0:12:58.499
<v Speaker 3>you want about somebody with no truth. If they could

0:12:58.499 --> 0:13:03.699
<v Speaker 3>lose their job, it can have complete repercussions for family members, friends,

0:13:03.739 --> 0:13:06.659
<v Speaker 3>for dating, for the love life, for whatever, financial repercussions,

0:13:06.739 --> 0:13:10.659
<v Speaker 3>and it's all based on just one person's thought. I

0:13:10.699 --> 0:13:12.619
<v Speaker 3>don't know what the happy medium is, and I don't

0:13:12.939 --> 0:13:14.859
<v Speaker 3>know of a way that we can make a safe

0:13:14.859 --> 0:13:17.019
<v Speaker 3>place for people to be able to talk about these things.

0:13:16.859 --> 0:13:17.539
<v Speaker 4>And report them.

0:13:17.779 --> 0:13:19.379
<v Speaker 3>But I think if they're bad enough for you to

0:13:19.419 --> 0:13:22.299
<v Speaker 3>be reporting them, report them to the authority.

0:13:22.459 --> 0:13:24.739
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I mean it's not always like that someone's

0:13:24.739 --> 0:13:25.699
<v Speaker 1>done something that's illegal.

0:13:25.739 --> 0:13:27.579
<v Speaker 2>It could be just morally illegal.

0:13:27.179 --> 0:13:30.059
<v Speaker 1>You know, if that person's been cheated on multiple times

0:13:30.099 --> 0:13:30.379
<v Speaker 1>or something.

0:13:30.419 --> 0:13:30.779
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:13:30.859 --> 0:13:34.219
<v Speaker 1>I think the thing is if it's only one person's experience,

0:13:34.459 --> 0:13:37.459
<v Speaker 1>When it starts to have real impact is when it's

0:13:37.659 --> 0:13:41.059
<v Speaker 1>multiple women telling stories about the same person.

0:13:41.219 --> 0:13:42.179
<v Speaker 2>That's when I think.

0:13:41.979 --> 0:13:44.939
<v Speaker 1>That these apps really have weight to them, because there's

0:13:45.019 --> 0:13:46.819
<v Speaker 1>multiple women who have dated the same guy, They've had

0:13:46.819 --> 0:13:50.259
<v Speaker 1>the same experience. Maybe he's cheated on them, it was narcissistic,

0:13:50.339 --> 0:13:53.659
<v Speaker 1>maybe he took money, who knows what is the circumstances,

0:13:54.139 --> 0:13:56.819
<v Speaker 1>And I guess it's sad that there is such a

0:13:56.939 --> 0:13:59.179
<v Speaker 1>massive group of women who feel that they need to

0:13:59.179 --> 0:14:01.699
<v Speaker 1>have that layer of protection. So I do understand and

0:14:01.739 --> 0:14:03.579
<v Speaker 1>maybe there is something that's needed to be done.

0:14:04.019 --> 0:14:05.019
<v Speaker 2>The other part of this.

0:14:04.979 --> 0:14:07.939
<v Speaker 1>Though, is when we spoke about cisus this your Men

0:14:08.219 --> 0:14:11.619
<v Speaker 1>on our podcast Life Uncut, we had people from our

0:14:11.659 --> 0:14:14.379
<v Speaker 1>own community who reached out and were like, yeah, I

0:14:14.419 --> 0:14:16.299
<v Speaker 1>found my boyfriend on there and found out he was

0:14:16.379 --> 0:14:19.859
<v Speaker 1>cheating on me with XYZ. Like there's been real consequences

0:14:19.859 --> 0:14:22.019
<v Speaker 1>that's come off the back of that, And you know,

0:14:22.059 --> 0:14:25.699
<v Speaker 1>a lot of this like outcry has been from men

0:14:25.739 --> 0:14:28.259
<v Speaker 1>who are worried about what impact it's going to have

0:14:28.299 --> 0:14:31.019
<v Speaker 1>on their dating opportunities, what impact it's going to have

0:14:31.019 --> 0:14:34.579
<v Speaker 1>on their reputation. But I guess, you know, I don't

0:14:34.619 --> 0:14:37.379
<v Speaker 1>know if there's that many people that are so vindictive

0:14:37.419 --> 0:14:40.299
<v Speaker 1>that they're getting on there and writing awful things off

0:14:40.299 --> 0:14:42.539
<v Speaker 1>the back of like a really decent relationship in a

0:14:42.539 --> 0:14:44.379
<v Speaker 1>decent breakup, Like I feel that with all the.

0:14:44.339 --> 0:14:46.939
<v Speaker 3>Minority, it's impossible to know, and it is, But I

0:14:46.939 --> 0:14:49.979
<v Speaker 3>think the reason that I am a bit more like Okay.

0:14:49.739 --> 0:14:51.099
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if this is the right thing to do.

0:14:51.699 --> 0:14:53.739
<v Speaker 4>Is because like we've been on the receiving end of

0:14:53.779 --> 0:14:55.739
<v Speaker 4>completely fabricated stories.

0:14:55.379 --> 0:14:57.739
<v Speaker 3>Like and it's horrible. And once a story goes out there,

0:14:57.779 --> 0:14:58.939
<v Speaker 3>that's it. It doesn't matter if it's.

0:14:58.779 --> 0:15:01.339
<v Speaker 4>True or not. Like there's a reason they say month sticks.

0:15:01.379 --> 0:15:01.539
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:15:01.619 --> 0:15:04.419
<v Speaker 4>Again, I'm not defending them. What I think is really

0:15:04.499 --> 0:15:05.739
<v Speaker 4>unfortunate is that we're.

0:15:05.539 --> 0:15:08.299
<v Speaker 3>In a place where women feel like they have to

0:15:08.299 --> 0:15:10.299
<v Speaker 3>cre this in the first place. The fact that we're

0:15:10.299 --> 0:15:12.339
<v Speaker 3>still battling with this and dealing with this on dating

0:15:12.339 --> 0:15:13.419
<v Speaker 3>apps every single day.

0:15:13.979 --> 0:15:15.419
<v Speaker 4>And what has actually come off the back.

0:15:15.299 --> 0:15:19.019
<v Speaker 3>Of this, which is really sad, is men have heard

0:15:19.059 --> 0:15:21.779
<v Speaker 3>that this is app exists and they've hacked it. They've

0:15:21.819 --> 0:15:25.739
<v Speaker 3>hacked the app, and they've doxed women's information from the app.

0:15:25.819 --> 0:15:29.179
<v Speaker 3>So it's almost like doubling down on what the problem is.

0:15:29.219 --> 0:15:31.619
<v Speaker 3>It's almost like you're just showing us how much more

0:15:32.539 --> 0:15:34.099
<v Speaker 3>trust we don't have in you.

0:15:34.379 --> 0:15:34.979
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I.

0:15:34.899 --> 0:15:38.179
<v Speaker 1>Also think, like, yes, it's controversial, and I understand that,

0:15:38.619 --> 0:15:41.299
<v Speaker 1>but I think that maybe there should be other parameters

0:15:41.299 --> 0:15:43.339
<v Speaker 1>that are put in place to keep people safe. There

0:15:43.419 --> 0:15:45.699
<v Speaker 1>are some truly awful stories that come off the back

0:15:45.739 --> 0:15:49.059
<v Speaker 1>of online dating. Some people have had truly horrific experiences.

0:15:49.379 --> 0:15:50.219
<v Speaker 1>Some people have just.

0:15:50.139 --> 0:15:52.179
<v Speaker 2>Had like morally awful experiences.

0:15:52.259 --> 0:15:54.339
<v Speaker 1>But I don't want to get too deep with this

0:15:54.539 --> 0:15:57.739
<v Speaker 1>time slot on you know, a lovely Tuesday Afternoon. But

0:15:58.059 --> 0:15:59.739
<v Speaker 1>there may be should be more safety nets that have

0:15:59.779 --> 0:16:01.419
<v Speaker 1>put in place, and it kind of sucks that an

0:16:01.459 --> 0:16:03.379
<v Speaker 1>app like this needs to exist and that people have

0:16:03.419 --> 0:16:06.419
<v Speaker 1>to self moderate in order to feel safer on dating apps.

0:16:06.539 --> 0:16:08.819
<v Speaker 3>Hey, maybe if you've been in this situation and you

0:16:08.859 --> 0:16:10.499
<v Speaker 3>have found something out on one of these apps, so

0:16:10.539 --> 0:16:12.019
<v Speaker 3>you are you part of the tee app?

0:16:12.099 --> 0:16:12.899
<v Speaker 4>Are you part of sis?

0:16:12.979 --> 0:16:13.579
<v Speaker 2>Here's your man?

0:16:13.699 --> 0:16:15.579
<v Speaker 4>Let us know on the pickup and we'll talk about

0:16:15.579 --> 0:16:16.299
<v Speaker 4>it over the coming weeks.

0:16:16.339 --> 0:16:17.419
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, we are out of here.
