Hello everyone. 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:23.040 It's so like self congratulatory, like circle jerk. 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:23.759 Or wang vibes. 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:28.040 But alas today we're talking about celeb spell check. 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:30.920 I let my feelings be known, which I always love 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.559 to hear from.

Am I a 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:49.480 fan of it? Now? No? 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:50.680 Do I look at your stuff? 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:54.400 No? I don't because I don't want to perpetuate bullying 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:59.440 of any kind. I think bullies are silly and things 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:01.320 come back. You know, calmer exists. 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:06.560 I'm still down for bullyings, so light and shade, light 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.160 and shade. No, I just want to be in a utopia. 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:10.759 Anyway, we're trying to get to the bottom of who 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:14.200 the heck celeb Spelchick is. If you are following flex 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.640 Bummy on Instagram, you'll have seen that somebody DMed her 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.520 a proposition about potentially who could it be a proposition? 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.080 Not quite, but I get what you're saying anyway. 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.200 So as I listened back to the podcast and realize 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:30.360 we're using words in the wrong context, we yeah, I'll 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:31.240 think about what you said. 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:32.200 I'll dox you next time. 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.839 Let's go flex and frooms. 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.399 So I had an open for inspection occur in my 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:41.480 rental property on the weekend. 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.880 Had you like taken everything out or as is? Strangers 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:51.640 were allowed to come into your occupied place temporarily to 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:52.280 have a quick. 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:56.720 Look fifteen minutes in the house unsupervised wool. As you 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.920 can imagine, this was a stressful situation to find myself in. 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.360 I am scared of people looking through my staff. 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.600 Did you linger out the front? Was there a big line? 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:08.840 So there was two inspections earlier though it was another 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:12.799 on Thursday, and I hung out the front so I'd 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.079 live in an area which like wouldn't be weird for 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:16.040 me to hang out the front. 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:18.239 You're scaring the hose, babe, Get out of there. 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.560 The inspection was at eleven thirty five, and I walked 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.400 out of the house of eleven thirty old. Better yeat 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:25.960 out before everyone arrives. I walk out of my front door, 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.880 all down the stairs people oops, And I had to 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.160 be like, oh, hey, it's a great place, you're going 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.280 to really love it. I almost considered, oh, you know, 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:38.040 but there's a fudge ton of mold in the bathroom, 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:39.680 but I thought I'll hold. 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:41.160 A little treat for them to find out when they 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:42.400 finally so. 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.320 I got to see who went to and fro then 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.119 and it kind of gave me hope, like everyone looked 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.360 pretty legit. But then on the Saturday, which is the 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.640 real heathen day, I was out looking at a different house. 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:54.960 So I was doing an open for inspection or crossing, 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.880 which was in the same situation as me. Obviously, three 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:01.280 women had lived there, all of their stuff everywhere, retainers 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.239 on the nightstand. It was like, if you ever think 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.000 that your life isn't original, go to an open house 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:08.519 where everyone's shit is everywhere. 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:09.960 I had to do all kinds of things. 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:14.160 I had to lock up my bedside table with tape, 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.760 like tape it over. I had to put a blanket 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.720 over all my unities and my bras because I don't 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:20.960 know if I spoke about some on the show, but 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:25.320 my Lululemon leggings got stolen out of the communal washing machine. 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:29.400 The other day, I came back to click my stuff. 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.880 Someone's taking my lou lemon legging no way, so targeted, 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:37.480 really scary stuff. And yeah, it was like a very 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:41.520 violating experience. Anyway, got back that evening, took all my 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.520 stuff out, and the next day I went to put 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:44.280 my perfume on. 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.840 Perfumes are missing from the inspection. 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:51.680 From the inspection, shut up, freaking out. It's the Saint 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:52.600 James one. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:54.400 I really like this. 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.560 Well, this is the thing. I freaked out, and I 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.160 had a big day this day that I found out. 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.320 On the Sunday, I was working all day, really stress full. 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.520 I come home and I realized later I'd put them 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:05.640 under some other clothes. 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:10.240 Oh, in anticipation, that's okay, okay, but I felt frustrated. 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.560 I'm gonna call the manager. I was going full Karen 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.080 until I realized my error of my wife. 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:19.120 Yeah it happened. Though, the idea of going into a 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:22.360 house inspection of a currently occupied house is so apocalyptic 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.719 to me. I've done that one time, maybe like seven 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.760 eight years ago. Now. It was in Glebe. Not only 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:36.800 was somebody occupying that property was still sleeping and it 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.560 was like I had to be one of twenty people 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:44.919 going up this small, tiny, one bedroom terror situation, Like 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.520 you had to duck together the can. I were asleep 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:52.960 in bed. They are whole sleeping, had no people. I 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:56.520 felt like we were all Simms who were on free 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.160 will MO but didn't know what to do because when 0:04:58.200 --> 0:04:59.920 we got to like the thoroughfare, we were just like 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.920 just pivoting on our own access because we were like, 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:08.720 there's nowhere else to look. It was so bad the 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:12.040 sims in the house. It was just super scary. So 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.080 never again. There has to be better rules for that. Honestly, 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.880 I think there needs to be like a separate avenue 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.040 of real estate that's accommodating for the fact that some 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:24.280 people work full time hours and some people aren't comfortable 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:26.760 with you just like putting their house on display. I 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:28.960 think sometimes it does the house too much justice to 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:33.760 have persons pre existing surgniture and stuff in there when 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:35.679 selling it to a new person, Like I can't see 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.840 the mold from behind the lallabo perfume. 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.919 I know I'm bumming the price up with my items. 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:44.120 Have they raised the price? 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:51.160 Yes, gone up seventy dollars a week what Yeah, heavy 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.120 to be glad to get you out of there, Oh 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:54.560 for sure. And I'm a little bit of it, you know. 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:58.360 I'm a current dishwashers are broken. Yeah, mold needs to 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:00.919 be wiped. The most mind thing. I'm saying an email 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:06.080 immediately so I will keep you updated with my next 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.760 house move. I've got my two housemates prepared. We're currently 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.839 on the lookout if anybody knows any good three person 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:12.840 houses going. 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:14.200 Flex and frooms. 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:19.680 It has been a wayward desert apocalyptic mess in my 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:23.480 DM's the last couple of weeks. It started with people 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:29.120 speculating that I live in a windowless luxury apartment. That hit. 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.320 That was a strange one, but I think it's set 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.200 the tone for what's to come, which is suspicions that 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:42.039 I flex influencer police, anonymous Instagram account celebspell check whoa 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:46.640 big accusation. Do I know where it's coming from? Not quite. 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.440 I did receive a message out of the blue, and 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.680 I emphasized that because a lot of the people that 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:55.760 I interact with on Instagram are people that have had 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.200 a previous conversation with me. Because I try and you know, 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.360 keep active, I want to respond to things if you're 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:01.599 talking to me, I want to talk back to you. 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:03.760 So it is very odd when someone is not a 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.640 new follower but they've never messaged me before. I'm like, 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:06.280 what's that about? 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:07.200 What would be doing? 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.400 Either? Ops? Anyway, this person messages me, are you slip 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.880 spell check out of the blue, I'm thinking what I do? 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:18.120 What signs are there? Now? You have to understand influencers 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:22.920 broadly don't like slap spell check because they point out 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:27.040 your typos, your inconsistencies, maybe the contradictions and what you 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:30.120 said last week to this week, maybe the fact that 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.400 you might have roasted that brand before you did the 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:35.520 sponsor post. It's all up with the receipts, with the 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.800 dates sledspell Check has been called out so many times 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:42.440 by influence appears a ton of times, and people say 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.760 sleves spell check is a bully, or they're you know, 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.680 not being fair, or they're targeting particular people, or you know, 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:53.040 they're painting influencers with a broad brushstroke or whatever it 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.040 might be, or just maybe being a bit too nitpicky 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.640 and creating an environment that's hostile and encouraging other people 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:02.720 to also continued that behavior. It's neither here nor there, 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.520 but the fact that people think it's me Number one, 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.560 I won't deny it. Okay, I'm not gonna deny it, 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.200 because now that I'm looking at it, I'm seeing some similarities. 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.240 It could be me, could not be me. For all 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.600 intents and purposes. If you have positive associations with the account, 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.320 just say it's me. If it's negative, just leave it. 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.120 Who did people guess? Because then you put it on 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:25.200 your box? Who else could spellcheck be? So I did 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.640 ask the Internet who they thought spell check was. If 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.440 it's not going to be me, there were speculations that 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.880 it just has to be some random girl who works 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.480 in pr who has enough intel to know behind the 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.560 scenes of influencer stuff and who has incentive to be 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:43.240 so across everything like that. It's highly likely that they 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.440 have a job where they have to monitor influencer behavior 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.160 and that's why they're very quick to catch on to it. 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.080 It must be someone who has aspirations of being an 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.760 influencer and in doing so up this weird parasocial kind 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.440 of like symbiotic relationship with them, where like you're not 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.240 part of them, but you are among them. And then, 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.800 oddly enough, the first non random person suggestion was you, 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:06.920 and I was like, is that just like a brand 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:10.040 association thing? Like now that we've said flex, you're like, oh, 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:14.600 it must be rooms people, said Melissa Mason, who currently 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:16.079 works at. 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:20.040 L I think she's a freelancer. Yeah, but she's a writer. 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.880 We used to rights a fashion journal, rights a pedestrian. 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:27.040 I'm like, that's a good one. Zara McDonald from Shameless podcast. 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.120 That was one that came up quite a bit. These 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:35.080 are all good guesses, but I think that, I mean, 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:36.520 I don't want to give way too much now, so 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.760 I'm gonna set out other names. I'm going to stop there. 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.000 They were. Look, I think the thing that I found 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.680 really interesting is that not only were there other names, 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:49.120 but slept spell check did go on private since your posts. Yeah, 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.120 and they do that every now and then. But I 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:54.120 think they don't want to be found out because there 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:57.480 was a time where Slove spell Check aka Flex had 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.160 to deactivate for a couple of months because I got 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.680 a bit too hectic. I did touch briefly on the 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.760 fact that slip spell check did have to deactivate Instagram again, 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.040 and I could imagine it's for a number of reasons 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.040 that we will not know about I do remember them 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:15.160 doxing influences for doing drugs, and then that kind of 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.080 blew up in a weird way because it's like one 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.480 thing for you to incriminate yourself accidentally and delete it, 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.760 but then it gets amplified by this account who tags 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.080 more people, and they tag more people, et cetera, et cetera. 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.439 I also think that what started off as being like 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:32.559 a fun place actually got to be quite like toxic, 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.840 dangerous or whatever. But it's because people don't know how 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:39.200 to self regulate. From my understanding, spell check provides the entertainment. 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.480 You take it to your private spaces, have a bit 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.520 of a giggle. It started getting real like Lord of 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.600 the Flies and the comments there, people you know, being like, 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.640 oh check my DM, I've got more gossip for you, 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:52.599 or like adding in flavor, or like I used to 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.760 go to high school with this person, I've got more information. 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.600 It was like very convenient pylons. I don't know if 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:00.680 I would feel better or worse about it if I 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.440 wasn't so tied to it, like I've not been on 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.679 the page. I don't imagine I know anyone who's really 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:06.280 been on the page very often, So it's not like 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.480 close to me, but I do think it's very tricky. 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.720 When you decide to play Judge and Durik, you gotta 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:14.040 accept the responsibility. You can't just back down when it 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:18.680 gets too hectic, when people like you're responsible for platforming comments. 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:20.800 And I think celeb cell check was like nah, baby, like, 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:22.440 I didn't sign up for this, but I remember when 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.520 they diactuated. They made a post and said it was 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.640 in twenty twenty one. This account has become too big, 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.920 too powerful, and too time consuming for me to enjoy 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.920 running it anymore. There is no scandalous reason behind this decision. 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.960 I'm not being threatened or sued or controlled in any way. 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.760 I'll be permanently deleting the account tomorrow. Thank you so 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.880 much to everyone who has followed and supported the page. 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.560 Then they did, but then twenty twenty two when they're back, it's. 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.360 A new celeb spell check, because it could have been 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:53.000 different people the whole time. I have a big fat 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:54.840 bone to pick with celeb Spellcheck. 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:56.760 I really don't like it. 0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:00.200 I've never liked it, never had an interest in following it. 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.320 I think it's gross, I think it's boring. I think 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:04.320 they pick on women. 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:06.400 I know that like in. 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:12.360 Australia there's more female influencers than men influencers, supposedly. It 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.079 really riles me up. That whole page and that whole concept. 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:18.240 I just I think what you're saying about it becoming dangerous. 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.360 I think it is dangerous. I think about it from 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:23.679 my own perspective of like, I'm such a sensitive person 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.199 that if I was ever on that page it would 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.960 really really spin me out. And so I have so 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:31.160 much respect for the people that have been targeted on 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.920 it and are still okay and still do their job. 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.520 Like I think people don't realize even if you're posting 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.920 all the time, you're not a fair target. People aren't 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.200 fair targets just because they're influencers and you're like, someone 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:44.400 might do something that's really shit or offensive all this 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.040 or that, but the punishment that they get from being 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.080 on one of these pages, I don't know. It just 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.080 really hits me in the wrong spot. Slow spell check. 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.240 Do you think there was ever a time where it 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.240 was just and it's spiraled out of control or the 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.480 fundamentals of it you're not interested in. 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:00.240 At the very start, that was funny because it was 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.560 what it said, it was celeb Spellcheck. 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:03.959 But then it just was calling out typos. 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:08.760 Yeah, it just came dosing, like particularly women influencers, beauty influencers, 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.440 and it's just an opportunity to pylon for people to 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:15.840 be sending sensitive information. Like I'm getting angry thinking about it, 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:19.040 and I'm not even in the remit, Like I don't 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.480 think I would ever make the page, but it's still 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.680 I could never support that. I don't even like jimmu 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:30.640 or whatever. Dum dumoi M do you seem fine with it? 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.560 Like what's your I'm annoying because I can't articulate what 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:35.520 it is, what you don't like about it? Yeah, like 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:36.959 I can't get into words right now. 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:40.080 I think, like a lot of things, it's sort of 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.600 like it's conceived from a necessary place, like the influencer 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:47.240 media landscape is a media landscape. I think we should 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:48.880 be able to have access to it as we would 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.679 with any kind of celebrity or entertainment news. I think 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:55.720 that's quite fun and funny. But I think if Celeb's 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:59.520 spell Check existed without the ability for everyone to create 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.920 commentary around it, it would be a far more fair place. 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.360 But I think it's because what has happened is that 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:10.400 slop spell check has created this really fertile ecosystem for 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:14.120 everybody to do the most heinous things in that place, 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.400 Like this is where we go to pylon to be rude, 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.600 to call in, to call out, and people get high 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:24.080 off like being part of something right, and so they 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.680 don't know or they're not considering that, like is this 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:30.040 the most appropriate place for this to happen? Is it necessary? 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:33.880 Does the punishment fit the crime? You know? So on 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.400 and so forth. But I also feel as though, like 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:41.200 it is really interesting to see how influencers often respond 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.960 when they see themselves reflected back at themselves. Like I 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.640 think a lot of the time it's a one way 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.280 conversation where they put stuff or where we put stuff 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:52.080 into the ether with very little consideration for how it 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.520 gets perceived outside. And sometimes I think slop spell check 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.440 applies fresh eyes to a conversation. Like you know, you'll 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:04.680 see posts of certain people like using their clout to 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:07.200 call out a small business or something when it's like 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:09.280 you knew the channels, like just go through an email, 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.840 go through something else. It's like you obviously know that, 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.760 Like you have the privilege to do that, But what 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.240 is the consequence of doing so. I think a lot 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:21.200 of us influencers or operate with no consequence for anything, 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:24.280 And I think the solution is not a celeb spell check. 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.400 The solution is not having a bunch of people on 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:29.320 the internet nitpick at you for every minor thing that 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.280 you do. But it is also interesting seeing like when 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.400 there is no sheriff on town, like how does like 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.000 a punitive system evolve and how does it get addressed? 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.280 It's very fascinating. I find. Well. 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:44.640 The other day, I like, my local post office is 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:46.720 so busy, and I walked up the other like there 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:48.680 was a massive line, but I walked the side bit, 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.400 which is like deliveries and pickups, thinking it was like 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.120 a different alternative way, and I rock up and she's 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.040 like you need to be in the line, like what 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.560 are you doing? And I'd walk past everyone and I 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.320 walked out thinking, holy fuck, it looks like I think 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:05.160 I'm like eating up the line, which like maybe subconsciously 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.360 I was. It was the weirdest. It's like when you 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.760 do something and then you think about it later and 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:11.920 you think, what the that was so crazy that I did? 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:16.440 That was I thinking when you name check yourself it's 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:24.200 from Okay, so them actually Radio presence sucked up. 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.080 But there was one final thing I wanted to say 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:31.440 about that. The difference between that and entertainment sites is 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.000 that up until you know, five years ago, you had 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:35.400 to put your name too a story. So when I 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:37.120 used to work in this kind of shit and I 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:39.200 would write about people, I tried to never do it 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:42.800 because I was just not interested. But when I ever 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:44.560 did have to write something that was like a little 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:46.400 bit on the nose about what an influence I had did, 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:48.320 I just take my name out of it and put 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:51.960 written by like whatever the place I worked for was. 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:54.280 And it was just such a fucking cop out. Like 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:55.960 if you work in media and you're not willing to 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:58.640 put your name to something, that's calling someone else out, 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:01.720 Like you have a duty of care as slab spell check, 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:05.440 as the writer of the thing. Like you are also 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.520 operating in the ecosystem and adding your two cents, so 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.760 you should also be able to be ripped. We've seen 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:14.600 it when journalists have added people or done the xyz xyz, 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:17.080 they do get ripped. But I think, yeah, if you're 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.880 playing in that space. All that said, I don't want 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:21.280 to do la la la, la la. I just want 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.320 to live in a fun world, not interested in any drama. 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:24.560 Let's chill and be vibes. 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.600 This is flex and frooms on da. 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:30.360 Like I have said time and time again, my dms 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.840 are a wayward place. You don't know what you're gonna 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.520 find when you open one up. What's the worst thing? Ah? 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:39.560 Just like really racially insensitive stuff, but like virtue signally, 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:45.119 Like my boyfriend says that insert ethnic group are insert slur? 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.119 But like is he racist? My babies? Please delete me, 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:53.040 please unfollow delete And then people drive the list Twilight memes, 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.480 but the movie came out ten years ago. I've seen 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:59.439 every meme, I promise you. Then there's this like viral 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:02.359 footbear that everyone wants to send me. I promise you 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:04.480 I've seen it. But every now and then we get 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:08.399 a gem like today, this person Charlotte asked me this 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.840 question to post to you his first name. Okay, that's 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:13.840 a nice little tree. You know. I didn't do. I 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:17.840 got a full name here, and I avoided saying it anyway. 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:21.600 I digress. Would you rather live in a world where 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:31.680 public space doesn't exist or where private space doesn't exist? Who? Wash? 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:34.000 Then she goes on to say, for a bit of 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.680 an explanation, I thought of the world where public space 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:39.520 not existing, being similar to the COVID world in the 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:42.760 sense that everyone would have their own homes private space, 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:45.200 and they would only be able to invite people into 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:48.639 their space if they wanted to. In addition, public space 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:52.160 is such as stadiums, parks, restaurants, bars, clubs, airports, train 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:56.159 stations wouldn't exist. Would also maybe encourage private forms of 0:18:56.200 --> 0:19:00.240 interacting with space, such as like a walking, cycling, or 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:02.560 driving alone. I then thought of a world with no 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:05.480 private space, being a bit like one big commune where 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:08.840 everyone has designated spaces of living and working, but anyone 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.840 could enter your space at any time vice versa. You 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:17.399 could travel anywhere, and cool places such as museums, private attractions, palaces, houses, 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:22.600 gardens would be accessible to everyone. WHOA isn't that hectic? 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:25.960 Like my brain, All the little gremlins in my brain 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.520 are like, okay, inspiring quick quick, rubbing their hands together. 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:32.800 This is a real doozy. Please answer for me. 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:36.240 So I believe this is really just asking would you 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:39.480 rather live in a socialist society or a capitalist society? 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:45.040 I mean private social being the public in that everyone 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:47.439 can go to any space. Everyone can go to a castle, 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:51.480 a museum, da da da private like because think about it, 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:54.200 if the private space thing is true and you're really rich, 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:58.120 it'd be amazing because you've got your whole big thing. Personally, 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:01.680 I'm going with the private space, all privates, no public spaces, 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:03.919 purely because of the Internet, and also because I like 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:07.240 having my things, Oh my little sacred space. I want 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:09.200 to put the lock on my door. I don't want 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:11.840 anyone bursting into any given time. Sure does that mean 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:14.640 all spontaneity will be sucked from my life? 0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:16.199 And so be it? So be it. 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:18.480
