1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. Coming up on the episode,

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: Meghan Markel labeled a manipulative monster and diva. By sixty minutes,

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: we debunked the latest influencer trends that could impact your health,

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: and the latest bachelor's scandal who set to walk out

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: of the mansion the first How were your weeks? Well,

6
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: I had a pretty interesting weekend. I thought i'd better

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: update our listeners who may have had our podcast all

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: about the Bucks party my boyfriend attended a few weeks ago. Well,

9
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: this weekend it was the Hen's party, and to my surprise,

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: we actually had topless Mayle waiters there.

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: And I've never.

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: Been to a Hen's party with topless waiter, so I

13
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: had no idea what to expect.

14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: Was your boyfriend a bit annoyed?

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: Well, we didn't, well, because they were just there when

16
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: I rocked up. We only talked about it after, and

17
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: he didn't really. Actually, I think he cared slightly. I

18
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: could see in his face he was a bit like,

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: oh okay. And more importantly, did Dale than go record

20
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: a podcast about how outraged he was about the whole thing? No,

21
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: he didn't, but it actually just reinforced my views about

22
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: the whole thing, as in, it was actually so tame

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: the male waiters compared to what I heard the female

24
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: waitresses were doing. But again, if I had a Hens party,

25
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: I personally wouldn't want topless waiters because I just found

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: it really uncomfortable.

27
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: What about your guys?

28
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: Week In better News, I've actually found a podcast that

29
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: I'm loving at the moment. It's called Literally Nobody Cares,

30
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: and it's from Sam Mangan. I'm sorry if I've butchered

31
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: his last name. He's that fabulous guy that does rants

32
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: about things that piss you off.

33
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 2: I love it.

34
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: It is so funny.

35
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: I just actually found.

36
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: Myself like giggling to myself the whole time listening to it.

37
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: My only issue is that he's rude about Taylor Swift.

38
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 2: We can forgive him though.

39
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: Now moving on to our first topic, sixty Minutes is

40
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: facing global backlash for its tabloid style takedown of Megan Markle.

41
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: The story promised to uncover the scandal's abuse and lies

42
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: that supposedly surround the Dutchess. In this much anticipated television return,

43
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: Karl Stefanovic set out to uncover how Meghan has lost

44
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: her sparkle and whether the ghost of Princess Diana can

45
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: save their fairy tale. The Markle debarcle is causing headaches

46
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: of bosses at nine after critics have slammed the network

47
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: for its sexist double standards and racist tone. Sophie, for

48
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: those who haven't seen the story, can you talk us

49
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: through it? Well? Meghan was labeled everything from a manipulative monster,

50
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: a nobody, a diva.

51
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 2: She was also labeled.

52
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: Unfit for royal status, and to top it off, she

53
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: was criticized for her bad clothes. So he promised to

54
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: investigate how Meghan had spiraled into a bit of a

55
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: bad prpit, how she had supposedly ignited a royal crisis,

56
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: and after how a year of marriage her popularity had plummeted.

57
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: I found it disgusting because, as you were saying, before

58
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: they even brought the ghost of Princess Diana into it,

59
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: saying that she might be able to help save their marriage,

60
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: it was pretty appalling.

61
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: I agree.

62
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: I found myself tisking the whole time. And one of

63
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: the things that really you hated me with these apparent

64
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: experts that Carl spoke to. One was a columnist called

65
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: Katie Hopkins, and as soon as she came on to

66
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: the screen. Amen, I turned to each other and just like,

67
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: she's a racist bitch. So she has actually been known

68
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: to have called African migrants cockroaches, and she just completely

69
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: disliked Meghan for no reason. So she was walking around

70
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: the streets out in the front of Buckingham Palace with

71
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: pictures and who do you like better, Kate or Meghan,

72
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: and just cheering when anyone said anything against Meghan. It

73
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: was so embarrassing. I thought it was awful how she said,

74
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,839
Speaker 1: it's my royal family, it's my Prince Harry, and when

75
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: any sort of questions around racial undertones came up, she

76
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: was so quick to dismiss them. But then it just

77
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: didn't make any sense that she could not give a

78
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: reason other than the fact that Meghan had not as

79
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: great fashion taste as Kate for the reason for her

80
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: disliking her. What confused me throughout the whole story was

81
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: I was just waiting to actually find out what these

82
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: supposed experts were so angry at Megan for doing, because

83
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: the whole time it was just let's say this outlandish

84
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: comment about Meghan, and let's say this as you said

85
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: about her fashion sense. But there was nothing. There was

86
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: no real basis for what they were actually saying. And

87
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: we have to remember, sixty Minutes is our flagship a

88
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: current affairs program, and we're resorting to talking trash on

89
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: Meghan Markel as our number one story on the show.

90
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: And there was a great story by sixty Minutes reporter

91
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: Sarah Arbo which followed the Meghan Markel debacle, which should

92
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: have been the lead story. Her biggest crime, according to

93
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: sixty Minutes, is that she flew in a private jet

94
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: along with Prince Harry. And that's such a crime, apparently

95
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: because she claims to care for the environment. I think

96
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: the fact that she's using her power to fly around

97
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: the country to talk about such important issues it's worth it.

98
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: It definitely eclipses her crime of flying in a private jet.

99
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that royal protocol though, to fly in

100
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: a private jet. Just back to the whole racism aspect,

101
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: which a lot of people on Twitter and social media

102
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: were calling out. The Katie Hopkins claimed a racism card

103
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: shouldn't be played, but earlier she stated how all the

104
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: old ladies like her hate Meghan Markle, while all the

105
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: young people love her. Now I'm not trying to be ageist.

106
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: But isn't that a little bit of a clue that

107
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: it could be about race and also in terms of balance.

108
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: We've just said, how sixty minutes it's usually such a

109
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: great program for that. Why wasn't there anyone in Meghan's camp?

110
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: Why didn't we have any young people, any boxes on

111
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: the street. There was literally one voxy of someone saying

112
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: that they didn't like Meghan. It's funny you mentioned that

113
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: nobody was talking on the side of Megan Markle, because

114
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: sixty Minutes has faced incredible backlash after the story aired

115
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: on Sunday. And it's quite funny because I had a

116
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: look at their Facebook page today and now suddenly they've

117
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: posted an extended interview with Andrew Morton, who only featured

118
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: I think in maybe one grab in the whole story,

119
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: and they've chosen a grab which says Diana died at

120
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: thirty six. Meghan come onto the scene at thirty six

121
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: in a kind of curious spiritual way. She's picked up

122
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,239
Speaker 1: her bat on. Andrew Morton warns that history could repeat

123
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: itself as the intense backlash towards Meghan Markle mirrors the

124
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: pressures Princess Diana once faced. This was not mentioned once

125
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: in the program, and it is completely hypocritical of sixty

126
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: Minutes to post this because they are the ones that

127
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: are now pointing the finger at Meghan Markle. That's what

128
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: disturbed me most about the program was how much it

129
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: did mirror the Princess Diana scenario. And we do not

130
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: need another death of a princess on our hands. And

131
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: it's clear that they're backtracking in this situation because they

132
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: did not show the other side and be objective in

133
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: this story. But so many people have come out in

134
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: support of Meghan Markle. The best tweet I saw was

135
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: from Jamila Demil who wrote, you stupid anti black scumbags.

136
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: This is a fucking pantomime, not journalism, And she was

137
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: actually Jamila Demil was actually recently handpicked by the Duchess

138
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: to appear on the cover of Vogues September issue, so

139
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: there is a connection between her and Meghan Markle.

140
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: Well, there was also another.

141
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: Treat tweet by actress Mia Farrow and she said, shame

142
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: on you for airing this trash. Great Britain is fortunate

143
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: enough to have this intelligent, compassionate, beautiful woman in the

144
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: royal family, and then she went on to say, with

145
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: all due respect, this smug racist babbel is appalling, idiotic,

146
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: distressing and disgusting. So another great tweet from Jamela Jamil was,

147
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: if you have to bring in Katie Hopkins, you're scraping

148
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: the absolute bottom of the barrel. So immediately we can

149
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: dismiss this trash entertainment as any form of journalism. Are

150
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: there any persons of color in this dock other than

151
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: the woman being bullied? Where's the dock on Andrew the pedo?

152
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: So what Jamella is actually referring to is Prince Andrew's

153
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: relationship with billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who is also a convicted

154
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: sex offender. So Epstein committed suicide in jail recently, and

155
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: despite all these sex offenses coming out into the public,

156
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew still was still friends with the billionaire, and

157
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: it came out during the court case looking into Epstein's

158
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: behavior that Prince Andrew was accused of grouping a young

159
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: woman's breast while a Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan apartment in two

160
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: thousand and one. According to the document, another Epstein's accusers

161
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: alleged she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew

162
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: on three occasions. Now, this person actually came out who

163
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: was under eighteen, So even after all of the Epstein's

164
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: crimes came out, Prince Andrew still remain friends with him.

165
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: The whole story was complete double standards. We had Katie

166
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: Hopkin going on that she despised Megan Markles so much

167
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: because she's a divorce a.

168
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 2: What about Prince Charles.

169
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: He's an divorced adulterer and we're all happy to you know,

170
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: she's happy to look past for him. To be fair,

171
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: Prince Charles and Camilla are probably the most hated members

172
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: of the Royal family. Although I agree it's a complete

173
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: double standards and the story had no factual basis to it.

174
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: I think that's a bit of a silly point. On

175
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: the topic of rating the Royal family. Apparently Camilla is

176
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: number one hated, followed by Megan Markle.

177
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 2: Well, I don't believe that.

178
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: Though I love Meghan Markle and everyone I know loves

179
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: Megan Markle, I don't know where this has come from.

180
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: To be honest, the whole thing to me reeks of

181
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: a royal cover up, and it's not the first time

182
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: they've used Meghan as a decoy to avert attention away

183
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: from other royal scandals. A couple of months back, there

184
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: was a scandal involving Kate Middleton and Prince William and

185
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: it was said that Prince William had an affair with

186
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: Kate Middleton's friend that lived in the same town as them,

187
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: So there was no sixty minutes expose on Prince William

188
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: being a cheater. Instead, it was all about Kate and

189
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: Meghan hate each other. So for me, this could be

190
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: coming from the Royal family. They might be using Meghan

191
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: as escapegoat because everyone bloody loves, everyone notices her, and

192
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: it's very interesting the timing around the Andrew pedophile scandal,

193
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: and she is a pretty easy target, as you say,

194
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: being American, being a divorce a, being a former actress,

195
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: it all makes sense that she would gain a lot

196
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: of press attention, and of course the underlying thing about

197
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: being a woman of color. I just want to know

198
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: how many women were going to continued treating like this.

199
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: I mean, did we learn enough with Princess Diana. I mean,

200
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: you know, Prince William and Prince Harry went through so

201
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: much to deal with that for then their wives to

202
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: be treated in exactly the same way, and touching on

203
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: Princess Diana in the story itself, they said that Princess

204
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: Diana went through the same thing. She was built up

205
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: up to her wedding day as the most beautiful princess

206
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: that everyone wanted to be, and then subsequently after there

207
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: are all these stories that came out saying that, you know,

208
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: her staff didn't like her and this, and that. It

209
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: is just tall poppy syndrome. We build them up so

210
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: we can drag them back down, and then we'll build

211
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: them all up again, and then we'll drag them back down.

212
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 2: It's just a.

213
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: Common pattern, unfortunately that women seem to have to put

214
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: up with. But it's also interesting now the sixty minutes

215
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: is saying that Princess Diana is a saint again because

216
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: I remember growing up. I remember all the stories were

217
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: casting her in an horrific light like Megan Mirka's being

218
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: cast in. Well, that's the thing. Unfortunately, when people pass away,

219
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: it's a bit like Steve Irwin. He was completely slagged

220
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: off once while he was alive, but once he died

221
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: he became a saint. And that brings up another point

222
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: I found from a journalistic perspective. I found the script

223
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: itself of that story so tacky, like they played Royals

224
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: by Lord and they referred to Princess Diana. I think

225
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: it was something like as the mother in law from

226
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: Heaven or something really tacky in and I just thought,

227
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: are we watching sixty Minutes or are we watching Today

228
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: tonight or a current affair? Well, it was really interesting

229
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: because Karl Stefanovic has been known for reporting on really

230
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: important issues. It's a really strange that he's come in. Well,

231
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: he covered the terrorist attack in twenty fifteen. I don't

232
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: know if Karl Stefanovic is really thought of as being

233
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: a seasoned journalist. I mean, really, I would argue that

234
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: he is thought about a season journal His reputation has

235
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: been completely destroyed following the end of his marriage and

236
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: his new relationship, and it seems so odd that Channel

237
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: nine would choose to have him come back and be

238
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: on sixty Minutes and do this story when his own

239
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: personal life has been so scrutinized by the public. And

240
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: that's what Channel and I are facing now, a huge backlash.

241
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: Who are actually calling for Karl Stefanovic to be sacked.

242
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: I actually read an article that was saying that Karl

243
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: Stefanovic and Channel nine, it was a stroke of genius

244
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: by them.

245
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: Who the hell wrote that?

246
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: And it was suggesting, let me guess some middle aged racist,

247
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: Well it was daily at the middle aged races. It

248
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: was suggesting that Karl Stefanovic got out of favor with

249
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: all the Today viewers because of the dramas going on

250
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: with his ex wife, So pairing him in a Meghan

251
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: Markeles story would get women on his side. But I

252
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: don't really see how that was a success for him.

253
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: It's not young women that hate her, it's bloody old

254
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: people that don't like her. Well, it is interesting that

255
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: a year after his own witch hunt, he went on

256
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: a witch hunt for Meghan Markle and that's what he

257
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: is copying. A lot of criticism for it was funny

258
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: because the story brought up the private jet controversy. Yet

259
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: Carl copped absolute shit when the paparazzi photos came out

260
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: of him on this really expensive yacht. So you think

261
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: that he have more sensitivity in the story than what

262
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: he did, seeing as he's experienced a lot of the

263
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: criticism that she's faced. He did seem to scoff a

264
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: lot at the answers the apparent royal experts gave and

265
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: sort of gave side glances, but then it didn't really

266
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: like it. Just it was just a complete car wreck.

267
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: It didn't make any sense. I think the best thing

268
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: to take out of the whole sixty minutes Meghan Markel

269
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: tobacle is the fact that it did not rate. So

270
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: the story actually lost one thousand viewers compared to the

271
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: week before. And I know there were a lot of

272
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: people on social media when the advert came out for

273
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: the package saying I'm not going to watch, I'm going

274
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: to turn off, and they actually did. That's what the

275
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: ratings recorded, and it actually shows that people are over

276
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: this kind of bullshit reporting, and it's showing sixty minutes

277
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: that they need to focus more on important stories like

278
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: the one Sarah Abo did which followed this Meghan Michael

279
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: to bacle. Moving on, It's been a drama packed season

280
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: of The Bachelor, with fights, c bombs, and even two

281
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: contestants hooking up, and with only a few weeks left

282
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: before Australia finds out who stole Matt's heart, we're left

283
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: wondering if we've all been had again.

284
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: Amy can you explain, Well, if.

285
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: We're to believe the headlines right now, BATCHI fans are

286
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: set to be let down majorly this week, with fan

287
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: favorite Ellie set to exit the show. Now I'm going

288
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: to be referring to some Daily Bail pieces. So again

289
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: it's questionable whether some of these things are true.

290
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: But a Daily Mail article.

291
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: Has come out with an exclusive photo which shows Ellie

292
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: in Greece last month, and she's said to be on

293
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: a girl's trip all alone. Can I interject here? That's

294
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: kind of interesting because a week ago the Daily ran

295
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: a story about Ellie had an explosive secret to tell Matt,

296
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: and it was that she had actually booked in a

297
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: girl's European trip for right after when the show ended,

298
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: So regardless of whether the two were together, she would

299
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: have been going on this trip anyway.

300
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 2: Well, that's right.

301
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: Ellie has come out and said that the trip was

302
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: booked about a year ago, and you know, regard regardless

303
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: of if she wont she was going to go on it.

304
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: But what makes it interesting and what points to the

305
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: fact that Ellie does not win, is that in interviews

306
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: following the launch of The Bachelor, Matt has said that

307
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: he is still in a relationship with the winner, and

308
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: that they hang out, you know, after work and whatnot.

309
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: And the new articles come out today which actually reveals

310
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: that Chelsea and matt work just around the corner from

311
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: each other. In fact, they even added Google Maps to

312
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: this and it shows that they are a thirteen minute

313
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: walk from each other's work. It's interesting as well because Mattie,

314
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: Jay and Laura they also lived in the same state,

315
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: so they had the same sort of rumors speculating that

316
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: they were catching up as well, so it is a

317
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: good point by this article well.

318
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: And also Chelsea.

319
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: Is the only woman who lives in Melbourne that remains

320
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: on the show, so unless someone secretly moved there, I'm

321
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: guessing from people's Instagram account, they all look as if they're.

322
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: In their own state.

323
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: And the other fact which points to Chelsea winning is

324
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: the odds have always been in her favor, so even

325
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: when she wasn't shown in the first few weeks, she

326
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: has constantly had.

327
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: The shortest odds. Is that in sportsburn This is on

328
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: all of.

329
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: The major betting websites and it's a similar pattern. It

330
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: seems to be that the favorite, like Ellie, is shown

331
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: in the first few weeks and they never ever win.

332
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 2: It's very reminiscent of the Nicky Grogan. But I think for.

333
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: Even Brook, remember she was everyone thought she was going

334
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: to win, and she had a shock exit. So for me,

335
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: it's kind of sad for the people who do end

336
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: up winning The Bachelor because it seems like their love

337
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: story is never shown.

338
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: And that's something Laura Byrne talked.

339
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: About on her podcast that we never really saw the

340
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: connection between her and Maddie because they wanted it to

341
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: be a surprise. But then in a way, I kind

342
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: of feel like that's bad because there's always this negative

343
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: media attention which comes out when there is a surprise

344
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: winner picked, and this pressure on this new relationship, and

345
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: that's what we're lacking so much in The Bachelor is

346
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: the love story. So it does seem at Channel ten's

347
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: detriment that they aren't including any but it's a similar pattern.

348
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: That's how we've seen every Bachelor play out. We've got

349
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: our villain Abby, we've got the bitch fights, we've got

350
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: the hook up even from the contestants, and now we're

351
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: going to have this shock. But maybe now that we

352
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: know the formula, it's actually not going to be such

353
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: a sure people have been preparing themselves. After episode one,

354
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 1: so many people online were saying, oh, no, she's the

355
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: next Nikki. So I think people have prepared themselves or

356
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: the next decoy. It became quite obvious to me that

357
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: Ellie wasn't going to win last week because she was

358
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: involved in all the bitch fighting with Abby. That's a

359
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: sign as soon as you get involved in the bitch fights,

360
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: you're gone. Seriously, just sit back, don't get involved in

361
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: any of the fights, but have your little sob story

362
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: about being nervous and shy even though you've got the

363
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: killer body, and keep going. I was going to say,

364
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 1: I doing my batchy research today. I read an article

365
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: from Mum and Mia and apparently it's said that Matt

366
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: was studying in Sweden before he started The Bachelor and

367
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: had a romance with his Swedish tutor and the claiming

368
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: that he's still in love with this woman. And I

369
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: was like, Wow, they're really scraping the barrel to try

370
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: and throw shit on this guy, Like I feel like

371
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: he's too squeaky clean, and maybe we need him to be.

372
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 2: We do think we have thrown much shit on him.

373
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: I mean how many other bachelors have made out with

374
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: that many women, And I feel like he has made

375
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: out with everyone on the show, but he hasn't been

376
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: cast as a dirt bag or anything like. I suppose

377
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: it's hard to be cast as a dirt bag. After

378
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: the honey Badger's see, he could do anything. They don't

379
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: want him to be a dirt bag. That's the whole point.

380
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 2: Oh, I understand.

381
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: I'm just saying Ali got blamed and kind of slut

382
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: shamed in a way for making out that because it

383
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: was a third time on the show and nobody.

384
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 2: I don't think it was. I think it's because it's

385
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 2: rare to see a woman acting in that way.

386
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: It might have had to do with the fact that

387
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: a story came out about her and that dickhead us intruder,

388
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: whatever his name was. I still think women face double

389
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: standards when appearing on that show.

390
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 2: Do you know what I found?

391
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: I also read this week that apparently Matt hasn't been

392
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: watching the series, and he implied that maybe the winner

393
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: also hadn't been watching. So maybe it is because it's

394
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: so awkward because he is kissing.

395
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 2: All the girls.

396
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: I actually always do think that it would be incredibly

397
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: awkward to watch afterwards with your then with your new partner. Well,

398
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: I guess we'll just have to wait to see what

399
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: happens tonight. But I'm guessing Ellie isn't going to be

400
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: in the show for much longer. Moving on to our

401
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 1: top headlines of the week. The first one is Sophie

402
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: Monk helps beautiful people in another epic Love Island trailer.

403
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 2: Okay, can you talk us through it?

404
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: So in the ad, Sophie Monk is playing Cupid and

405
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: she's helping the other eleven out of ten's find they're

406
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: eleven out of ten, So it's a lot of beautiful people,

407
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: a lot of social media influencers. Because a guy talks

408
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: about how he gets fifty thousand likes, be's still trying

409
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 1: to find a nice girl. So really it's a bit

410
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: of a play on Channel nine being pretty charitable and

411
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: finding these ultra hot people other hot people to fall

412
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: in love with. I like that they're trying to add

413
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: a bit of humor into it, but I felt like

414
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: Love Island UK had just so much more to it

415
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: than attractive people. I felt like they cast them really

416
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: well because there were so many different ethnicities, so many

417
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: different looking women. It will be interesting to see how

418
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: the cast does come together. That was some criticism that

419
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: the Australian Love Island cops, so hopefully we will see

420
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: a different sort of cast with lots of ethnicities covered.

421
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: But to be honest, I think the only reason Channel

422
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: Nine's hurried up and actually pulled all of this together

423
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: because there was a lot of question marks over whether

424
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: the Love Island would be brought back, and I think

425
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: it all comes down to the success of the English

426
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: Love Island that aired on nine now and I'm nervous.

427
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: I just don't think it's going to live.

428
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 2: Up this bit of me.

429
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, isn't that excited for it because it's just not

430
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: going to be as good. I really do hope that

431
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: they have people who also have quite intelligent on there

432
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: as well. I felt like we had such a good

433
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: mix of different jobs and intelligent people. I hope they're

434
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: not all just bar people and models and social media influences.

435
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: We don't have lung to wait.

436
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 2: It should be exciting to see.

437
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: The next article was published on Domain and the headline reads,

438
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: is this home trend the ultimate sign of wealth and privilege?

439
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: And it goes into how having a really neat and

440
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: tidy cupboard is like a badge of honor these days.

441
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: I feel like that's something you could relate to. Kate.

442
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: Yes, well, after watching Sarah's Days YouTube with her pantry goals,

443
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: I did set myself up with a whole bunch of

444
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: jars and different bits and bobs to make my pantry

445
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: look really good. I've actually lucky enough to have a

446
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: walk in pantry only because I'm in a rental, otherwise

447
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: I would not be able to afford it at all.

448
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: And I've also come across our friend's daughter has this

449
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: amazing page and she has the most incredible pantry I've

450
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 1: ever seen. But a lot of questions were asked regarding

451
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: how does she have so much food to stock in

452
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: it to make it look so good. Yeah. Well, this

453
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: article is talking about Australian model Lara Worthington's cupboard which

454
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: she showed on Instagram, and she has a whole drawer

455
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: of spices and cereals and it just looked insane. I

456
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: don't know how people could actually keep these cupboards tidy.

457
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: But it's funny because they're saying that revealing your cupboard

458
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: now on Instagram is kind of like the new gender

459
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: reveal and the new engagement announcement, and that it is

460
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 1: a sign that you're very privileged and got your shit together.

461
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 2: Really, it's so bad because.

462
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: I love it, like I want a really like when

463
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: I see that stuff, I really want an organized pantry

464
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: and organize fridge. But it's so blanky. I feel a

465
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: shame because my cup at home is disgusting. Like I've

466
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: got a really small kitchen and I can I can't

467
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: organize anything in it. I'm getting stressed because I'm moving

468
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: out next month with my boyfriend and he's got like

469
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: an oh oh. He touched on the fact that he's

470
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: got the red carpets and stuff, but it's an old

471
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: style house. I don't know how my organization is going

472
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: to go. And I'm going to be without a walking pantry.

473
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 2: Well that's the thing as well. We were talking about

474
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 2: was spoilt. Sorry.

475
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: We were talking about how the women actually managed to

476
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: keep these pantries up, and the article talked about how

477
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: a lot of them have housekeepers and personal chefs and

478
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: never actually go near the pantry at all unless they

479
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: need to get, you know, something out, So it doesn't

480
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: it seems like it must be a lot of behind

481
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: the scenes were going into it from other parties. I'd

482
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: love to know how much food wasted is going on

483
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: as well, definitely. And our final headline comes from Mama

484
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: Mia and it reads Eddie's girlfriend posed with her future

485
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: engagement ring for over a month. She had no idea.

486
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 2: I loved this article, Kate, can you tell us about it?

487
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: It was amazing. So this UK athlete, Eddie, he was

488
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: looking for a spontaneous way to propose to his girlfriend,

489
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: so he actually began carrying the ring around with him

490
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: everywhere he went because he knew that if he'd planned

491
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: some big dinner or a trip overseas that you know,

492
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: his girlfriend would cotton on to what he was doing.

493
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: And whilst he was doing I think he was sitting

494
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: on the couch with the ring out and he realized

495
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: that she like just admiring it like Gollum style, and

496
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,479
Speaker 1: he realized that his girlfriend really spotted him. So then

497
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: he kind of thought and said, well, how many times

498
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: can I get away with actually doing this and then

499
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: doc the whole process. There's bloody hilarious that there's a

500
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: picture of the girlfriend carrying a bike up the stairs

501
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: and he's standing there with a ring right in front

502
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: of her. I like the ones where she was asleep

503
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: and he just have them held up near it. Well,

504
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: there was one where she was asleep and the ring

505
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: was actually in her hand, like, not even in the

506
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: box like the actual So it's bloody hilarious. Would you

507
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: like your boyfriend to do this to you if he

508
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: was going to propose? It's pretty funny. I mean it's

509
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: been done now, but it's pretty funny. It's funny. But

510
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: I also there's something I wouldn't like about it. One.

511
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 2: I don't like people taking photos of me asleep or

512
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 2: when I'm unaware.

513
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, I feel like it loses a bit of

514
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: the shine. Well not if she didn't know, Like it

515
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: would have been terrible if she actually did notice him

516
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: doing that and then that's how she discovered. But he

517
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: actually did end up proposing, and then it came out

518
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: later on about all the photos.

519
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 2: How did he propose in the end?

520
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: I don't think they actually went into it. I think

521
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: it was I think it was done on the spot

522
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: in a special moment, and I think he kept the

523
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: photos the secret from her for a little while. I

524
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: don't know how he got away with it though. There

525
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: were so many where it would have been. If she

526
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: just quickly turned around, the whole thing would have been spoilt.

527
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 1: So onto our next topic. A new test is infiltrating

528
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: the social media world one bloated stomach at a time.

529
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: In the last month, there has been an influx of

530
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: Australian influencers promoting food intolerance tests.

531
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: But just how accurate are they? Okay, can you tell

532
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 2: us a little bit more about these tests?

533
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: Well, firstly, I came across this idea of a food

534
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: intolerance test when I was watching Talia Scan's YouTube channel.

535
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: It's a guilty pleasure, I admit, So she uploaded a

536
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: twenty five minute video entitled I Am dairy intolerant plus

537
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: more slash acne, slash why I lost three kilos slash bloating.

538
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: I can see way you like watching it now. Bloating

539
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: is just such a big buzzword on social media and

540
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: has gut health and can butcher. So in this video,

541
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: Talia Scans told her many followers that she had a

542
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: blood test and then passed on this blood test result

543
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: to a company that would then analyze the blood test

544
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 1: to see which food she was in tolerant too, and

545
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: the results came back in, and to be honest, I

546
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: was pretty shocked by them. So she did a neutropath IgG,

547
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: a general good panel test. Now this test is meant

548
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: to tell her what food she is intolerant too. So

549
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: the test results claimed she is highly intolerant to get

550
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: this sesame, seeds, banana, pineapple, blueberries, coffee, dairy way like

551
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: weep like way so way, I mean not we and oats,

552
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: So she's allergic to everything basically. Then they had she

553
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: is also moderately intolerant to white rice, cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus, eggs, cranberry,

554
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 1: and oregano. I just found this so perplexing. And then

555
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: she's in Barley currently speaking her new villa, and she's

556
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: saying that she cannot eat any of these foods, and

557
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: most of these foods are her favorite things that she

558
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: always loves eating. So I was like, well, what the

559
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: hell is she going to actually eat? So for me,

560
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: this had a bit of a red flag. I'm like,

561
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: this surely doesn't make any sense. So then I started

562
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: picking up the other influencers and YouTubers were starting to

563
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: mention that they were suffering from these food intolerances, and

564
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: it seemed to be quite a prevalent thing. So I

565
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: had a bit of a look because I know ef.

566
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: Everyone knows me. I always say that I must be

567
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: allergic to something, but I never know what.

568
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: So I was like, oh, that.

569
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: Would have been pretty cool if this test actually works.

570
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: But it just sounded too good to be true, so

571
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: I had to look. And basically, when you're understanding what

572
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: a food intolerance is, you need to break it down.

573
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: So there are actually three different terms that are commonly

574
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: used for adverse reactions to food. The first is a

575
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 1: food allergy. Now these are really serious ones. For example,

576
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: my boyfriend has a trina allergy and we always get

577
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: it confused, but he can't eat honey and he can't

578
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: eat tree nuts. Funny enough, that doesn't include peanuts. So

579
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: that sort of allergy can induce an anaphylactic shock, can

580
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: also induce vomiting, and you know, inability to breathe, all

581
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: of those sorts of things. That's a really serious one.

582
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: So that's not what Tylier Scanes was referring to. There's

583
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: also food insensitivity, and that's one that actually affects the

584
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: immune system. So that's something a bit like celiac disease,

585
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: and then there's food intolerance, so that's the one that

586
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: she is referring too, but funnily enough, the lower scale one.

587
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

588
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: So it's a lower scale one, and apparently between fifteen

589
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: to twenty percent of people actually have a food intolerance

590
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 1: and it can be so it's more that she's not

591
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: actually allergic to it, her body just doesn't respond well

592
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: to it. Yeah, so there's no the immune system isn't

593
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: involved in it at all. Examples of foods that can

594
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: cause food intolerances are fermentable carbs, milk, so lactose intolerance, legumes,

595
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: and certain vegetables, fruits, grains, and sweetness. So basically, like

596
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: it's just those things can upset a lot of people's tummies.

597
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: So let's get this straight. So fruit is blowsing her

598
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: like it bloats a lot of people because it got

599
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: a lot of fiber in it, earth shattering and how

600
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: much they do you know how much they charge for

601
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: one of these tests. Yeah, so it's a couple of

602
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: huns dollars that they're charging for the test. So basically,

603
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: it's just common digestive symptoms that these people are suffering.

604
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: Some so bloating, excessive gas, which no one talks about

605
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: on Instagram, gart pain, diarrhea, and constipation. I think what

606
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: people just have to be aware is that they can't

607
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: eat all of these things in huge amounts. A lot

608
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: of these influences are clearly trying to lose weight by

609
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: just eating so much fruit that of course that's going

610
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,959
Speaker 1: to blow you exactly, and sometimes you're going to get bloated.

611
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: That's just what happens to your body when you eat.

612
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: It's really interesting though, because finding out what you're allergic

613
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: to is one of the most difficult things. I've been

614
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: through tests before to find out what I'm allergic to,

615
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: and it takes months and months of taking different foods

616
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: out of your diet to actually find out if you

617
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: are allergic to it. You're exactly right, Sophie so CBC

618
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: television show Marketplace did a really interesting deconstruction of this

619
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: sort of food testing. So it's quite technical, but basically

620
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: it's a test for ngobulin, which I've probably completely butchered,

621
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: which stands for IgG. Now. IgG antibodies signify exposure to products,

622
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: not an allergy, so basically the test reveals what you

623
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: ate recently, and there is actually no correlation between the

624
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: test and your ability to eat the food without distress.

625
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: In fact, some research suggests the tests may actually be

626
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: a marker for food tolerances, not intolerances. So that made

627
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: complete sense because Talia was going on about the fact

628
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: that these all her favorite foods that she loves eating.

629
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: That is fascinating, and it's quite disturbing that a lot

630
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: of influencers are coming out spooking this test because I'm

631
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: assuming that maybe they're not being paid, but maybe they're

632
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: being approached by these companies and saying, hey, do you

633
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: want to try this out? Because a lot of people

634
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: do complain about bloating. It's just something that happens to you.

635
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: I think that people don't act as if it's a

636
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: normal thing, but it is normal. But then they're getting

637
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: this test and finding out this shocking information. So being bloggers,

638
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: they're posting about, oh my god, I'm actually allergic to

639
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: blueberries or whatever, and then more people are doing this test.

640
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: I saw Lily Brown's video and she had gone out

641
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: and bought a whole load of new food. Just like

642
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: I can't eat eggs, I can't eat this, so I've

643
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: bought all this food and I was thinking I wonder

644
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: if this company owns some of these health food products.

645
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: Even I know that sounds ridiculous, it's just so damaging

646
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: and negligent for them to be spreading this message because

647
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: a lot of those things that Talia Scaine's listed, for example,

648
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: a major food groups that you need to survive, and

649
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: it also delays effective therapy and treatment if you actually

650
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: do have something wrong with you. So if anyone out

651
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: there that does think they might have a food in tolerance,

652
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: just some advice, don't waste four hundred dollars on doing

653
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: one of these ridiculous tests, because you're probably actually finding

654
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: out what food you're actually tolerant to instead. It's a

655
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: good idea, Sophi touched on it. But the best way

656
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: is to actually follow an elimination diet followed by something

657
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: they call an oral challenge, which is eating the food

658
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: once you've eliminated it from your diet. So yeah, make

659
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: sure you do that, and please don't do any of

660
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: these stupid tests.

661
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 2: Basically, just go and visit, adopt it.

662
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,719
Speaker 1: And that's what we've got time for. Thank you so
