WEBVTT - Online bullying and that Jese Nelson doco

0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Hi, guys, and welcome to another episode of Life Uncut.

0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm Laura and I'm Brittany, and today, well, we're gearing

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 1>up for a Bachelor.

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.760
<v Speaker 2>FINALI na I love FINALI.

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Week, Britte. I'm more excited about this finale than what

0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I was about my own finale.

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Why is that because you knew the ending for your finale?

0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Door, I didn't know? Oh yeah actually at the time. Wow,

0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:36.199
<v Speaker 1>should I stop that? No?

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Please? That was the best thing that's ever happened.

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Am I still asleep? Probably? I'm just really invested in

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 1>this season, so I really really want to see how

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:45.520
<v Speaker 1>these final two episodes go down.

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 2>I think I know anyway, I'm not going to say it,

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 2>but I think I know.

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, is that because of the editing?

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for a multitude of reasons, some editing and also

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 2>just the girls that I think is more suited to

0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 2>our boy Matt.

0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 1>So you don't have any actual insider one percent guarantee

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:04.960
<v Speaker 1>lockdown info. You just have spidy sensors. Yeah, and that's

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 1>what you're going on.

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:07.279
<v Speaker 2>Complete spidy sensors. Guys.

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.560
<v Speaker 1>We're in for some batchchat today, but we're also going

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 1>to be talking about something a little bit heavier, and

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I think in light of the fact that it is

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 1>finale night coming up, we're going to be talking about

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 1>online bullying. There's this great documentary that's just come out.

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 1>We really highly recommend it. It's on BBC one. It

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:26.119
<v Speaker 1>is about Little Mixtar Jesse Nelson. It's called The Odd

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 1>One Out and it's all about online bullying that she received.

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.399
<v Speaker 1>It really can happen to anyone, and celebrities are not

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 1>immune to this level of online bullying and abuse and

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>the way that it can really affect life, and for

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 1>her it spired her laugh out of control.

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I really really loved watching this documentary and I'm excited

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:46.680
<v Speaker 2>to delve into it and share it with everyone.

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:47.319
<v Speaker 1>Me too.

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 2>But apart from that, did you see There's something else

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 2>in the water again? Because two more Batchy babes got engaged.

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>I did see this, and they're both from my seats,

0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>both from your season. Everyone is getting.

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Married, so it was a Laura and Tara, A Laura.

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 1>And Tara, and I'm so happy for the two of them.

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Tara had a bit of a raft saying

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.640
<v Speaker 1>yes after her Batching Paradise experience with Sam, and I

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 1>think we all saw that play out in the media.

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.679
<v Speaker 1>She has been incredibly happy with her new partner, who

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 1>doesn't live in the reality TV bubble at all. He's

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 1>just a really great, normal guy and now they're getting married.

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.799
<v Speaker 2>So are you connected with either of those girls at all? Still?

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:27.880
<v Speaker 1>I haven't spoken to a Laura at all since the

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>show finished. And Tara I have seen because we both

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>went to Kobe's baby shower. But our season has just

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>been the season of successful relationships everyone who's come out

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>of it. Mate, don't rub it in, baby, you're on

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:44.359
<v Speaker 1>the wrong, yeah, am I? Yeah, but I wouldn't have

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be up against you. Could you imagine we

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>would not be sitting here doing this podcast.

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Imagine if it was you and me. I mean, it

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 2>was always he was always going to imagine that it

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:53.920
<v Speaker 2>was you from day dot No. But that's really good

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 2>that they got engaged. But I think I do think

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 2>it's hilarious that will happen on the same day.

0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>On the same day, way to steal each other's under

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Who announced it first? Daily Mail? I don't know. I

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 1>think Tar Daily Fail. I think Tara got in there first.

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>And then I mean I saw it from Daily Mail

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>before I saw it on Instagram. Isn't that ridiculous? Yeah,

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy. That's where I get my news source, isn't

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't me.

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 2>You didn't even know what your ending was when you

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 2>were watching it.

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh, leave me alone. I'm very tired, guys. I know

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I complained about this every week, but now Mally's going

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>through her four months sleep regression. So anyone who's a

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 1>parent who's listening to this will really sympathize with the

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>fact that I now get about four hours sleep a week.

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.200
<v Speaker 1>So two episodes ago, when I said that my sweet

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>for the week was that Marley was sleeping like an angel. Yeah,

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 1>well that came back to bite me in the ass,

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't It always? Does? It always?

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 2>This morning, actually, Lauren that you went and did a

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 2>little work out, your first work out with bitting a

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 2>few friends. But I noticed that you said you didn't

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 2>wie yourself and that you were really stoked about that.

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 2>So I just wanted to shout out and congra congratulate

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 2>you on that.

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 1>You're congratulating me on my public pulor muscles. Yeah, thank you.

0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I really do like that's something that I need to

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 1>be congratulated on. I've got that under control. Literally, I'm

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 1>staate for you. Thanks me too, Me too.

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 2>So what else grubed your attention this week in the media.

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh look, this one is a little bit controversial. I

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 1>know that I need to tread a little bit carefully

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>with this. Emotions run very, very high when Ellie went

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>home from last week's episode of The Bachelor. There was

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of hurt and hate flying around on the internet,

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:23.360
<v Speaker 1>which is kind of good. Way we're talking about online

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>bullying this week. However, there was one thing that stood

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 1>out to me, and like I said, I really do

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 1>feel like I need to be sensitive in the way

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.359
<v Speaker 1>that I say this just for fear of putting a

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 1>step in correctly with this. But I did see that

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.359
<v Speaker 1>Georgia Love tweeted after the show had finished and if

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.160
<v Speaker 1>you have some small kids around, then maybe block there

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:42.720
<v Speaker 1>ears because there is a little bit of a sea

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.359
<v Speaker 1>language here. She wrote, fuck you, Matt, don't at me.

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:50.920
<v Speaker 1>And that was because Matt agnew our Batchie, our Astrobatchie,

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 1>had sent home Ellie and obviously she was very upset

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 1>about it, as was the rest of Australia. However, the

0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.599
<v Speaker 1>fact that Georgia Love had said this really grind my gears.

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's a pretty controversial thing to say from anybody,

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.520
<v Speaker 2>but from somebody that has been in that exact position.

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think my issue with it didn't so much

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 1>come from she's offering criticism. I mean, it's totally okay

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>to not be an abby fan and to be upset

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.160
<v Speaker 1>that you know your favorite character is going home. However,

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:24.040
<v Speaker 1>language is really really important. She didn't set of say hey,

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:28.479
<v Speaker 1>this isn't cool. She chose to use obscenities and basically

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>verbally abuse Matt for his choices. Think sets a really

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:35.479
<v Speaker 1>really low bar, and it also then validates anybody else

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 1>who wants to sling abuse at him, which is just

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 1>not the example that we should be setting when we

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 1>have been in that position before. The thing that really

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 1>struck me as being hypocritical with this one is that

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.680
<v Speaker 1>number five was Cam Cramley in her season, and Cam

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 1>is the fireman. Everybody in Australia Free King loves Cam.

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.360
<v Speaker 1>He is wonderful, and Georgia loves sent him home and

0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't bring him onto hometowns. And I know that she

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of flak at that point in time because

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.760
<v Speaker 1>she was following her heart. So as much as I

0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>do question Matt's decisions in keeping Abby in the show.

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I still think it's a bit of a situation where

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 1>it's pot calling kettle, and I just think as a

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 1>journalist and as someone who really understands the power of language,

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 1>I expected more than that. That's my thoughts. Yeah, Okay,

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 1>what do you think, am am? I nitpicking at this?

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:29.279
<v Speaker 2>Whoever says something like this is definitely setting a standard

0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 2>example that it's okay to do it, especially someone in

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.599
<v Speaker 2>the media in the public eye, which I think is wrong.

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 2>But also been in her position, We've all been. I

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.800
<v Speaker 2>mean I haven't been on that end as in Bachelorette,

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 2>but I have been through the whole thing and been

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:45.720
<v Speaker 2>standing at the end, and you know that what she's

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 2>seen isn't the whole story.

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>People are definitely.

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Edited in a certain way in both extremes, good and bad, favorites, villains, everyone.

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's also always some truth to things, but

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.279
<v Speaker 2>essentially she knows that what's been presented to us isn't

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 2>always the whole story in any situation. So for her

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 2>to just jump on that train and sort of hurl

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.960
<v Speaker 2>this verbal abuse, I don't think it's fantastic. I don't

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 2>think it's a fantastic example. No, I think it's fair

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 2>call to bring that up.

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so since we're talking about bit of online bullying today,

0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 1>that was what made me think, Man, I'm just gonna

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 1>point this one out.

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, definitely tizing well, and we'll jump into that straight

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 2>after if you want to.

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Do that to be cab this again, I don't know

0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>whether I'll let it that out or keep that in.

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 1>I could keep really offensive and keep that bad boyant.

0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Should we all take a moment's silence for Ellie because

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 1>quite honestly, that was a very, very very sad episode.

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.120
<v Speaker 1>I like what you're doing there, but silence doesn't work

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:45.680
<v Speaker 1>in podcasts, so we're going to have to scrap that

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:46.600
<v Speaker 1>rap Ellie.

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and just take a moment to appreciate that ridiculous

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.640
<v Speaker 2>date where they blindfolded each other and had to hug

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 2>each other. He had to guess the chemistry, the chemistry

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 2>through the hug. There's a big difference between all of

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 2>those girls in high shape, what they're wearing. Some of

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 2>them had sleeves, some of them didn't.

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Some of them had.

0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 2>Huge boobs, others don't.

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Like you know, I reckon, maybe Ellie and Abby would

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 1>be similar in their in their builds, do you think.

0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 2>But I think that's probably shorter.

0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.120
<v Speaker 1>But would you know that though when you're blind, she's

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.520
<v Speaker 1>got to bend down. And then Elena's tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny,

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.840
<v Speaker 1>and Chelsea's got super long hair, so you would feel

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.240
<v Speaker 1>these types of things, Yeah, I think, But I mean

0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 1>it really wouldn't kind of play into the storyline. If

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Matt was like, well, I knew exactly who which one

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>of you were, and Abby, it's you again. I want

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:33.960
<v Speaker 1>to take you on another day. I think you would

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 1>have known Abby from the chloring in the back as well.

0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I know. And did you see that he was like

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>sweating down his back. That's Abby peel As.

0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 2>There was just so much of I didn't know if

0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.680
<v Speaker 2>I was laughing, crying on cringing, but it was. It

0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 2>was pretty amusing.

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 1>They always hate the setup where the girls are expected

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 1>to sit there and watch it playback. It's just so uncomfortable.

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 1>We actually had that on our series, but they didn't

0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 1>end up showing us sitting and watching the girls. They

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.320
<v Speaker 1>had to write a letter to old mate Maddie Jay

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.440
<v Speaker 1>and then read this letter out, and we had to

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.959
<v Speaker 1>sit behind the screen and critique the girls. They actually

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 1>ended up removing it all together because I think it

0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:12.760
<v Speaker 1>just came across as so bitchy. But it didn't matter

0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.760
<v Speaker 1>who was saying anything. It was just a really bitchy setup.

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 2>So they did that in my season too, but this

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.839
<v Speaker 2>was intense. It was probably the only group date I

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.079
<v Speaker 2>think I didn't go on, and I'm so glad I didn't.

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.360
<v Speaker 2>So Nick had to sit on a couch with each

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 2>girl individually in front of a human light detector. So

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.680
<v Speaker 2>this guy had worked like the FBI. He was insane,

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:34.000
<v Speaker 2>and all the other girls had to watch on through

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 2>a glass through a glass window on a TV to

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 2>see who was like, how the girls reacted to the questions,

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 2>who was lying? He was telling porky pies all this.

0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:43.199
<v Speaker 1>So my question is, why the hell didn't they put

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Nick on a light detector? Are you here to grow

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 1>your profile? No?

0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Are you going to pick anybody?

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Then? Yes, Matt, are you here to find love? Genuinely?

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.720
<v Speaker 1>The poor thing probably would have been electrocuted? Okay, So

0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 1>that was why did any how did it turn out?

0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Was it a good outcome or was everyone super nervous

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:03.480
<v Speaker 1>about it?

0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.440
<v Speaker 2>No, everybody was super nervous, And you could hear and

0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.880
<v Speaker 2>see their voices shaking, and I'm so I have nothing

0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.000
<v Speaker 2>to hide, but I'm super glad I wasn't on it.

0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I think for me that I would be more

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 1>stressed about what if the outcome was wrong and the

0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.160
<v Speaker 1>lie detector was incorrect and me not trusting this.

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, it wasn't a lie detector. It was just this

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 2>man being like me, yeah, totally. Oh your heart rates elevated. Well, yeah,

0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:25.960
<v Speaker 2>of course it is. I'm shitting myself anyway. You have

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 2>to laugh now, but I don't think anyone's laughing at

0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:28.600
<v Speaker 2>the time.

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 1>So Ellie got the extra time. The thing that I

0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.040
<v Speaker 1>don't like about the setup on this is that I

0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:37.280
<v Speaker 1>don't think Ellie would have necessarily brought up Abby again.

0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I think she would have been asked and prompted to

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.320
<v Speaker 1>bring it up, and then she's being victimized for bringing

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:46.679
<v Speaker 1>it up. Because you always sort of start your conversations

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 1>where you've left off your last conversation. That's what you're

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>encouraged to do. So the fact that they had had

0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:55.200
<v Speaker 1>their last conversation at the cocktail party about Abby, it's

0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.080
<v Speaker 1>only natural that that would have been a rehash in

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:01.520
<v Speaker 1>this episode, and so I think she really got an

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:03.960
<v Speaker 1>nail in the coffin, just because she was kind of

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 1>doing what she probably was told that she had to do.

0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately, Yeah, that again happened on my season. They sort

0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:11.079
<v Speaker 2>of do make it. They're like, well, this is how

0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:12.760
<v Speaker 2>the last episode ended, so you need to pick it

0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 2>up like this, And I remember saying if it's a continuity, yeah,

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.679
<v Speaker 2>I remember saying it doesn't matter to me. I'm not

0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:20.560
<v Speaker 2>going to talk about it anymore. And Nick asked the

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.320
<v Speaker 2>question and they had to cut it out because I

0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.640
<v Speaker 2>went really, Nick, like, you're really going to go back

0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:26.920
<v Speaker 2>and talk about this again? And he's like, I brute,

0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 2>like I have to.

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So for those who watched it and sort of thought,

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, I can't believe she's banging on about

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.840
<v Speaker 1>this again, my heart really did go out for Ellie

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:36.679
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, because I do think that she would

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.840
<v Speaker 1>have been prompted. We just didn't see that prompting. And

0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>then I think that was probably what made her so

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.640
<v Speaker 1>sure that Abby was going home and not Ellie, because

0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 1>she was so confident in that episode that it was

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:48.439
<v Speaker 1>not her going home.

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, don't think she saw that coming, not.

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.120
<v Speaker 1>At all, and so Abby got the single date on

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.960
<v Speaker 1>that episode. And they went and they did that Matt's

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 1>movers what was that? They moved house and of course

0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:00.680
<v Speaker 1>there was going to be a bed. That was the

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>most budget single date I have ever seen in my

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.959
<v Speaker 1>entire life. Literally, Art department were like, oh freak, we've

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.600
<v Speaker 1>got no money left. Oh well, just all we need

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:11.080
<v Speaker 1>is a bed.

0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Throw that in there, we'll see what happens. Hey by

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 2>played foot golf. It's a made up sport.

0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.360
<v Speaker 1>It's a made up sport. Did you like what a

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.080
<v Speaker 1>golf ball? That was all they had for a budget,

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:22.319
<v Speaker 1>so they like, was not a golf ball, it's a

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:26.160
<v Speaker 1>soccerball on a golf course. Oh wow, but that was

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.920
<v Speaker 1>so funny, and you budget you saw it coming.

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:30.959
<v Speaker 2>You saw they were going to trip onto the bed.

0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.600
<v Speaker 2>And it's like a sort of like a corny rom

0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 2>com a little bit.

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 1>It really was. It was like watching an episode of Friends, Yes,

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.160
<v Speaker 1>but not as good, not as well, not as funny,

0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:43.600
<v Speaker 1>So off Friends? What? Yeah, I don't know. There's so

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.840
<v Speaker 1>many like who are you? There's so many dated references.

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.880
<v Speaker 1>It's just so homophobic all the time. That's totally another podcast.

0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:52.600
<v Speaker 2>You need to just accept it for what it is,

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:53.480
<v Speaker 2>and when it was.

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Who's the one that is that Ross that has the kid?

0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.120
<v Speaker 1>And then he's angry that his kid likes.

0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Barbie ROSSI is my least favorite character.

0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>It just makes no sense to me.

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Rachel is my buck could be anyone in Hollywood. I

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:06.600
<v Speaker 2>would be Jennifer Aniston a series called Friends. Those friends

0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 2>are actually pretty shitty towards each other, and I don't

0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:09.679
<v Speaker 2>really like it.

0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:11.959
<v Speaker 1>Anyway. That's my thought on Friends.

0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Twins for the other one.

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:15.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, that's a pretty nice thing to do. I

0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't watch enough of it. I just watched one episode

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:19.720
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, this is really homophobic. I don't

0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 1>like this, and I turned it off. Let's get back

0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 1>to the bund.

0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Anyway.

0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:25.880
<v Speaker 1>So hey guys, I know you've come here for my

0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.840
<v Speaker 1>opinion on nineties TV shows, So you're.

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Right, let's go back cut Friends. Anyway. We're in this

0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.040
<v Speaker 2>little fantastic furniture and they're having a romp on the bed.

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 1>What are your thoughts? Well, I mean, is there a

0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:42.400
<v Speaker 1>better place to romp? My question is what are your

0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.320
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on Abby and the way that she has been edited?

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Ooh, I think she's been edited probably a lot harsher

0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 2>than she deserves, and I think she probably has drawn

0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.320
<v Speaker 2>a bit of a short straw, because when you think

0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:58.479
<v Speaker 2>about it, I tried to really put this into perspective.

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:02.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't think she's actually anything that's that nasty or mean.

0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.719
<v Speaker 2>All she's done really is been very confident in who

0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 2>she is and what she wants and very sexual.

0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.600
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking this the other day as well. She's

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:15.040
<v Speaker 1>not actually done anything really wrong, whereas all of our

0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 1>villains in the past have always done something wrong. They've

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.160
<v Speaker 1>always been actually mean people as villains.

0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, she's done a few little things like cutting the

0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 2>other girl's grass, where she's quickly going cutting in front

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:27.880
<v Speaker 2>of them to take Matt, and doing things like that

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.160
<v Speaker 2>that are just not fantastic.

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.240
<v Speaker 1>That in respects to that though, she says, well, I'm

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.200
<v Speaker 1>here for Matt and I'm not here for my friendships

0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:34.760
<v Speaker 1>with these girls.

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:36.840
<v Speaker 2>She's been honest about it. She's like, yeah, I'm selfish

0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 2>because she's quite a spade of spade she has throughout

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 2>the whole thing. We as a population just haven't really

0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:43.680
<v Speaker 2>accepted that. Yeah.

0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.240
<v Speaker 1>I do think though that they are keeping a lot

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.560
<v Speaker 1>of her sexual advances in And I had this conversation

0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 1>with Matt because I sort of said, oh my god,

0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 1>she's so over the top, like I never said anything

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 1>like that to you. And Matt said to me the

0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 1>other day, he was like, Laura, do you not remember

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:02.080
<v Speaker 1>on our last day we were on like some kayak

0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.160
<v Speaker 1>thing in the middle of Thailand. I remember that? And

0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I told him I wanted to sit on his face.

0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.840
<v Speaker 1>And then obviously never made it to air, did you yea?

0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 1>I know I was half joking. No, I was being

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.400
<v Speaker 1>super inappropriate, but why so because I'd spent three and

0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.240
<v Speaker 1>a half months with a lot of sexual tension and

0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.440
<v Speaker 1>I said it as a joke. I really did say

0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 1>it as a joke. But obviously they could have used

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:25.920
<v Speaker 1>low There was probably a little bit of something in there,

0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 1>but they could have used it, and they chose not

0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.520
<v Speaker 1>to use it. Had they chosen to use that, that

0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:32.760
<v Speaker 1>would have absolutely crucified me and made me look like

0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:37.120
<v Speaker 1>such a little vixen. By omitting details, you can make

0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:41.280
<v Speaker 1>someone look amazing, and by including every bad detail you

0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.240
<v Speaker 1>can make someone look really shitty. And so I think

0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.840
<v Speaker 1>we need to keep perspective on this sometimes that the

0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:49.200
<v Speaker 1>people who come across as amazing aren't necessarily that amazing.

0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.080
<v Speaker 1>And the people who have come across as really really

0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 1>bad aren't necessarily that bad. Everyone kind of evens out

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:55.320
<v Speaker 1>somewhere in the middle.

0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Definitely, I agree with that. So choffing right along to

0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.280
<v Speaker 2>the cocktail party a long end, Ellie Choof's off home.

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:07.359
<v Speaker 1>The nation's heart cries, everyone breaks down, everyone's in uproar, uprising.

0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know all the things. Ellie's gone home.

0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Look, they weren't happy.

0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:14.640
<v Speaker 1>She's gonna find herself a bloody great country bumpkin out there,

0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 1>and she's just gonna be fine.

0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:19.160
<v Speaker 2>She's gonna be just fine. She had a great run

0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:20.720
<v Speaker 2>on the show, so she's had nothing to worry about it.

0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 2>She's a beautiful girl, and I think she got a

0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:26.240
<v Speaker 2>great edit. She's a really really lovely, lovely, likable person,

0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.320
<v Speaker 2>and I think there's a good chance she could be bachelorette.

0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Brittany is like, no, she will not be, because I will

0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.120
<v Speaker 1>be Batchel the Red. I will kill that girl. I

0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.600
<v Speaker 1>was not thinking that, but I mean, hey, interesting, I'm

0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:38.920
<v Speaker 1>calling it. Okay, who was your stand at Hometown?

0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:41.080
<v Speaker 2>I thought they were quite uneventful to me.

0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they really were, weren't they.

0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, in terms of what they actually did, Like

0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.720
<v Speaker 2>I went and raced Camel's down the beach with Nick.

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.000
<v Speaker 2>They went to the part in her drink, and then

0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:51.160
<v Speaker 2>they went to a pool and had to swim, Like

0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 2>it was just a bit different. I think on our

0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:55.160
<v Speaker 2>season Sophie went jet skiing, and I think we had

0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:56.320
<v Speaker 2>some more exciting things.

0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I feel like they don't have the budgets though.

0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like going back to Abby who moved house

0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 1>and had a bed date, I feel like they've really

0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:05.919
<v Speaker 1>sort of stayed true there and they're like, well, what

0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:07.760
<v Speaker 1>can we do today. We're in Melbourne, let's go sit

0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:08.240
<v Speaker 1>in a pub.

0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.080
<v Speaker 2>It was Abby's was up first. It was quite awkward.

0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.320
<v Speaker 2>I found the whole thing, the kissing in front of

0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.560
<v Speaker 2>those two massus. I nearly died and you could see

0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.000
<v Speaker 2>them trying to stifle their laugh. They were trying and

0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.280
<v Speaker 2>they were looking at each other like where do we look?

0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:23.960
<v Speaker 1>It was actually a bit disrespectful.

0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Don't very much on both behalf hundred percent, but I

0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:29.080
<v Speaker 2>don't think they actually spoke the whole date. From the

0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.600
<v Speaker 2>moment they got into the pool, it was kissing, kissing, kissing, romping, kissing,

0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:34.879
<v Speaker 2>and then they went to the lounge and I was kissing, kissing, kissing.

0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:38.720
<v Speaker 1>She's saying it's only natural, which maybe it is in

0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:41.920
<v Speaker 1>some respects, But then unnatural thing is that you've got

0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 1>a massive film crew who is filming you make out

0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.960
<v Speaker 1>whilst you've got two messuses trying to give you a massage.

0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.680
<v Speaker 1>The thing is weird. It was all too much. Yeah,

0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.399
<v Speaker 1>and then after Abbey's hometown. Whose hometown was it, I've forgotten.

0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.119
<v Speaker 2>So we had Chelsea in Melbourne.

0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Boring.

0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.440
<v Speaker 2>I love Chelsea, but god, that was a boring or.

0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:01.600
<v Speaker 2>They literally went to the pub and had a drink and.

0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:03.679
<v Speaker 1>That was it. It was cute though that Matt was like, oh,

0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I can see how our lives would seamlessly fit together

0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.000
<v Speaker 1>because on the weekends I sit in bars.

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 2>It was so funny, all right, Matt.

0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:13.359
<v Speaker 1>Both budget was low and ninety eight percent of the

0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.040
<v Speaker 1>rest of the population who you could date.

0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:18.359
<v Speaker 2>And then they had this really lovely dinner. And I

0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:20.639
<v Speaker 2>did feel for Chelsea in this moment when they were

0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:23.159
<v Speaker 2>saying their goodbyes. She could tell that she wanted to

0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:25.400
<v Speaker 2>say she loved him or was falling in love with him,

0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:27.000
<v Speaker 2>and she just couldn't get it out. And I know,

0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:31.400
<v Speaker 2>at this point you're really encouraged to talk about your feelings,

0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:35.000
<v Speaker 2>so she would have wanted to try, and bless her

0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.280
<v Speaker 2>because I didn't do it either. She couldn't get there.

0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:39.080
<v Speaker 2>So I really felt for her in that moment because

0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:41.360
<v Speaker 2>I have been there where you've worn You've had feelings,

0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:42.679
<v Speaker 2>and you've wanted to say it, but you're not at

0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:45.680
<v Speaker 2>the point of saying I love you. So I think

0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:46.679
<v Speaker 2>what she did was fine.

0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I think that her hometown, as much as I say

0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:52.479
<v Speaker 1>it was boring, it was pretty delightful. Her family are lovely,

0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:55.200
<v Speaker 1>her sister is lovely. She sister was pretty hard asked,

0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:57.359
<v Speaker 1>but he yeah, but she was still lovely, Like she

0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 1>softened at the end, and I think she was just

0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:01.720
<v Speaker 1>being protective, which was a nice quality that she had.

0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 1>And I also think that realistically, Matt will fit in

0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:10.160
<v Speaker 1>with that family and with Chelsea's life way more than

0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:14.440
<v Speaker 1>anybody else that's left. So I really did as much

0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.560
<v Speaker 1>as I criticize it, because I mean, I love Chelsea's hometown.

0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, then in complete contrast to that, we had Emma's

0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:26.560
<v Speaker 2>hometown in Sydney, where she basically wanted to have his

0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:27.560
<v Speaker 2>babies tomorrow.

0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:30.080
<v Speaker 1>She was like, I'm going to move to Melbourne. Right now,

0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:32.879
<v Speaker 1>we're getting married. Here, I bought this tuxedo. We're ready.

0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.960
<v Speaker 1>This is my friend. They're also celebrant. Yeah, we're doing

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.600
<v Speaker 1>it now. Surprise. It was a lot, wasn't it, look

0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I I But.

0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:41.520
<v Speaker 2>She's always been open about it too. She's always been

0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:43.840
<v Speaker 2>open that she loves love, that she's looking for, that

0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:46.400
<v Speaker 2>she wants it. She felt it with Matt. So everybody

0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:49.280
<v Speaker 2>feels things at a different rate. Whilst I wouldn't feel

0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:52.000
<v Speaker 2>something that quickly, it's okay that she did, but I

0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:55.399
<v Speaker 2>think absolutely for Matt that's scary at this point. Also,

0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:57.320
<v Speaker 2>it can be a bit difficult at hometowns when you

0:19:57.359 --> 0:19:59.800
<v Speaker 2>don't bring your actual family, when you're bringing friends, and

0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:02.560
<v Speaker 2>the that her family's overseas, it sets you at a

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:05.199
<v Speaker 2>bit of an unfair disadvantage. I remember when it was

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:09.360
<v Speaker 2>our season and Florence brought her friends, and then Florence

0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:12.040
<v Speaker 2>was one who went home, And in this situation, Emma's

0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:14.720
<v Speaker 2>the one who went home at this cocktail party. Because

0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:17.680
<v Speaker 2>I think for the bachelor, it's much easier to send

0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:21.400
<v Speaker 2>someone home who he's, you know, lukewarm interested in if

0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:23.840
<v Speaker 2>he's only met their friends. It's much harder to send

0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.480
<v Speaker 2>someone home when you've met their mom, their dad, their sister.

0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:28.840
<v Speaker 1>You know. I think it's a bigger responsibility.

0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:31.919
<v Speaker 2>Yep. And then of course there's always one. It was

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:37.160
<v Speaker 2>mine last year, but Elena's hometown dirt rama and derailed.

0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:39.479
<v Speaker 1>Didn't It got a bit too much? Actually, Like I

0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:42.080
<v Speaker 1>really I liked the suspense the first time round, where

0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:43.240
<v Speaker 1>she was like, I don't know if I can do this,

0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:45.400
<v Speaker 1>and then he talked her into staying. But then when

0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:47.840
<v Speaker 1>she came out a second time, I was like, really,

0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:49.240
<v Speaker 1>we're doing this again.

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:53.119
<v Speaker 2>So anyone they didn't watch it, Elena tried to leave. Basically,

0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Matt forgot what happened on their red carpet meeting. He

0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:58.960
<v Speaker 2>forgot that Eleanor spoke French to him.

0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.800
<v Speaker 1>If Nick had forgotten your red carpet meeting, would you

0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:03.600
<v Speaker 1>have been offended?

0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Probably a little bit.

0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:08.439
<v Speaker 2>Actually it's your first moment and your first impression. So

0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:10.760
<v Speaker 2>if you left that much of an impression, you're not

0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:11.959
<v Speaker 2>going to forget it.

0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:15.040
<v Speaker 1>That's what I think. Surely, if you're there at the end,

0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:17.840
<v Speaker 1>there must have been something about your experience that stood out.

0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:19.960
<v Speaker 1>It's a big deal. I think it's a big deal.

0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:22.439
<v Speaker 1>That was a bit alarming for me as well. And

0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:25.480
<v Speaker 1>so I do think that she felt like, it's definitely

0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:26.679
<v Speaker 1>not going to be meet at the end, So why

0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:28.680
<v Speaker 1>am I sticking around to get dumped by this guy?

0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:32.040
<v Speaker 2>He didn't really put in the effort to keep her there.

0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:34.720
<v Speaker 2>He didn't beg her, he didn't convince her. I think

0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:37.320
<v Speaker 2>he was more like, oh, okay, well maybe this is

0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:38.359
<v Speaker 2>my easy way out.

0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:40.840
<v Speaker 1>I agree, I don't think that he was. I think

0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:43.040
<v Speaker 1>that if he was really keen on Eleanor and she

0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 1>was going to be the one at the end, he

0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:45.959
<v Speaker 1>would have put in a bit more of a red

0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:46.359
<v Speaker 1>hot go.

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 2>I just I didn't feel it from Matt really.

0:21:48.720 --> 0:21:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Ultimately, the decisions come down to the bachelor, and if

0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:53.600
<v Speaker 1>he wants you there, he will make sure that you

0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 1>were there.

0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:56.280
<v Speaker 2>It is a bachelor's choice, one hundred percent.

0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, And so that on that episode. See you later, Emma,

0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:02.400
<v Speaker 1>we are down to our final three. I am so

0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:04.959
<v Speaker 1>excited for this week. I know I said I wouldn't

0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:07.520
<v Speaker 1>sing again, but there you go. I can't wait. It's

0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:11.280
<v Speaker 1>gone really quickly. It's gone really really quickly. But I

0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:15.199
<v Speaker 1>can't believe that Tomorrow night, Thursday night is finale and

0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:17.679
<v Speaker 1>Matt's gonna be with the woman that he chooses, and

0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:19.159
<v Speaker 1>that'd be our love story.

0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Out happy and proud.

0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:23.199
<v Speaker 1>For Chelsea, for Abby and for Elena. Like this is

0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the most stressful period because you're watching your final moments

0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 1>play out on screen. And Australia, Yeah, because like girls,

0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm freaking excited to watch this episode.

0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Green Baby, Laura, did you know that seven to ten

0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:44.960
<v Speaker 2>young people experience cyber bullying and twenty six percent of

0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:48.800
<v Speaker 2>young people who have experienced cyberbullying have reported feeling suicidal.

0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:51.800
<v Speaker 2>That is bloody ridiculous and something we never had to

0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:53.679
<v Speaker 2>deal with growing up because we didn't even have the Internet.

0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:56.840
<v Speaker 2>I remember the Internet coming in. What a day that was? Hey,

0:22:57.600 --> 0:22:58.320
<v Speaker 2>that was a great day.

0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Probably ordered pizza? Did you order pizza online?

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:01.959
<v Speaker 2>Then?

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that those functionalities. I didn't say online.

0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:05.959
<v Speaker 2>I had my dial up.

0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:08.040
<v Speaker 1>They go. Well. I remember in school when we got

0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:10.240
<v Speaker 1>the Internet for the first time and my email address

0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:13.199
<v Speaker 1>was tropy girl one two three because I am a

0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:16.040
<v Speaker 1>tropical kind of girl. I was also about Victor, You're

0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:19.800
<v Speaker 1>a loser, don't bully me. Let's talking about right now, Brittany.

0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:23.040
<v Speaker 2>But unfortunately, in this day and age, Laura. The reality is,

0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:24.720
<v Speaker 2>and I don't need to tell you this, but we

0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:28.520
<v Speaker 2>spend more time online than ever before. It's time to

0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:31.000
<v Speaker 2>talk about the effects this has on individuals more openly

0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:32.920
<v Speaker 2>and honestly. And that's why I want to talk to

0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:36.119
<v Speaker 2>you all today about Jesse Nelson from uk Ban Little

0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:38.959
<v Speaker 2>Mix and the documentary that she has just released on

0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:41.440
<v Speaker 2>BBC one on one out.

0:23:42.000 --> 0:23:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I loved this documentary, Brittany. I thought it was amazing.

0:23:45.640 --> 0:23:48.439
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't sure because I'm not a huge fan and

0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:50.880
<v Speaker 1>this maybe will be a little bit polarizing for some people,

0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:52.800
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not a huge fan of Little Mix the band,

0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:57.600
<v Speaker 1>but I love what that documentary stood for. And basically

0:23:57.720 --> 0:24:01.000
<v Speaker 1>what Jesse was trying to portray is that when they

0:24:01.040 --> 0:24:03.280
<v Speaker 1>won X Factor back in can you remember what.

0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Year that way, I was twenty eleven.

0:24:04.960 --> 0:24:06.879
<v Speaker 1>So when they went X Factor back in twenty eleven,

0:24:06.880 --> 0:24:09.399
<v Speaker 1>which should have been the best day of her life.

0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:11.600
<v Speaker 1>This is the day that her all of her dreams

0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:14.520
<v Speaker 1>came true, all of the hard work, all of the

0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:17.399
<v Speaker 1>things that her life was culminating in. She should have

0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:20.840
<v Speaker 1>been celebrating, and instead she was just reduced to an

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:23.879
<v Speaker 1>absolute shell of a person because of all of the

0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:26.439
<v Speaker 1>online hate that she was receiving, where people were writing

0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:28.359
<v Speaker 1>to her saying that she was the fat one from

0:24:28.440 --> 0:24:32.199
<v Speaker 1>Little MiGs. They were calling her just horrible, horrible names,

0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and she was being totally judged based on her looks

0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:38.240
<v Speaker 1>and nothing about the quality of her singing or the

0:24:38.280 --> 0:24:42.160
<v Speaker 1>fact that she had just one X Factor in the UK.

0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Basically, she went from zero to one hundred so quickly.

0:24:46.280 --> 0:24:48.639
<v Speaker 2>She was working in this bar in her little town,

0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:50.720
<v Speaker 2>and she didn't have a lot of money, and all

0:24:50.760 --> 0:24:53.119
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden she's finding herself standing on stage winning

0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:56.280
<v Speaker 2>X Factor, and she actually says in the documentary, I

0:24:56.280 --> 0:24:57.919
<v Speaker 2>should have been the happiest of my life. And all

0:24:57.960 --> 0:24:59.560
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to do was get the hell off the

0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:03.040
<v Speaker 2>stage and get home to bed because the harassment and

0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:06.840
<v Speaker 2>the trolling and the toxic comments she had gotten from

0:25:06.880 --> 0:25:11.280
<v Speaker 2>the day she basically started, that journey had finally got

0:25:11.320 --> 0:25:13.280
<v Speaker 2>to a tipping point and she just didn't even want

0:25:13.280 --> 0:25:15.760
<v Speaker 2>to be there anymore. And to me, that broke my heart.

0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:18.320
<v Speaker 1>The thing that I found so interesting about this as well,

0:25:18.480 --> 0:25:20.600
<v Speaker 1>is that she was saying that when she worked in

0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:22.679
<v Speaker 1>a bar and when she had more of a simple

0:25:22.840 --> 0:25:25.159
<v Speaker 1>everyday life, she was really happy with the person that

0:25:25.240 --> 0:25:28.080
<v Speaker 1>she was. She never was self conscious about the way

0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:30.119
<v Speaker 1>she looked. You know, she was quite happy with the

0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:31.840
<v Speaker 1>way that she looked, and she was quite happy with

0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the person that she was. And it wasn't until she

0:25:35.119 --> 0:25:38.879
<v Speaker 1>had reached this level of being a celebrity that she

0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:42.359
<v Speaker 1>started to unravel and started to question her self worth

0:25:42.440 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 1>because so many people had come at her and said,

0:25:46.240 --> 0:25:48.320
<v Speaker 1>you're not worthy of what you're at, and you're not

0:25:48.359 --> 0:25:51.000
<v Speaker 1>worthy of who you are because you're not attractive, and

0:25:51.080 --> 0:25:54.639
<v Speaker 1>her value as a person all boiled down to that

0:25:54.760 --> 0:25:56.840
<v Speaker 1>she was made to feel like the ugly one from

0:25:56.880 --> 0:25:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Little Mix, and.

0:25:58.000 --> 0:26:00.119
<v Speaker 2>She said of got to the point where she she

0:26:00.119 --> 0:26:02.439
<v Speaker 2>just stopped turning up for work, She stopped meeting the

0:26:02.440 --> 0:26:05.080
<v Speaker 2>band members, she stopped going to events. Actually, there were

0:26:05.119 --> 0:26:08.040
<v Speaker 2>a few concerts that they showed performances where they showed

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:10.439
<v Speaker 2>her speaking to the audience. Everyone was happy, and then

0:26:10.480 --> 0:26:12.040
<v Speaker 2>she would just break down in tears and she couldn't

0:26:12.040 --> 0:26:14.760
<v Speaker 2>do it because she became so emotionally vulnerable. Or if

0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:16.800
<v Speaker 2>she would think about when she was sitting on the stage,

0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:18.840
<v Speaker 2>was what people were seeing when they looked at her.

0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:21.480
<v Speaker 2>No one cared what she was saying or her voice

0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:23.600
<v Speaker 2>or anything. It was just about her appearance.

0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:25.679
<v Speaker 1>One of the things I think is really interesting from

0:26:25.680 --> 0:26:28.200
<v Speaker 1>this documentary as well is that it makes it very

0:26:28.240 --> 0:26:32.439
<v Speaker 1>clear that it's not just celebrities who are victims to

0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:33.199
<v Speaker 1>online bullying.

0:26:33.200 --> 0:26:35.400
<v Speaker 2>But Jesse speaks about the fact that she didn't have

0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:38.520
<v Speaker 2>social media and Instagram or anything when she became part

0:26:38.520 --> 0:26:40.359
<v Speaker 2>of the band, but in that journey they sort of

0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:42.080
<v Speaker 2>made her. There are a lot of people that will say, well,

0:26:42.080 --> 0:26:44.439
<v Speaker 2>you've put yourself in that spot by putting yourself in

0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:48.000
<v Speaker 2>the spotlight, but that's not necessarily true for anybody that

0:26:48.119 --> 0:26:50.560
<v Speaker 2>chooses to be in the spotlight. That's not putting a

0:26:50.560 --> 0:26:53.720
<v Speaker 2>big sticker on your forehead saying Hey, I'm in the spotlight.

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Attack me.

0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:58.640
<v Speaker 1>The issue with Instagram now and with being someone who

0:26:58.720 --> 0:27:01.600
<v Speaker 1>is a public figure is that you can't really get

0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:04.320
<v Speaker 1>to this position of being a public figure without having

0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:07.880
<v Speaker 1>social media, so they kind of coexist. There's very few

0:27:07.920 --> 0:27:11.520
<v Speaker 1>people who are celebrities, who are modern celebrities who have

0:27:11.600 --> 0:27:14.600
<v Speaker 1>come up during the era of social media who don't

0:27:14.640 --> 0:27:18.200
<v Speaker 1>have that platform, because that's how their fans engage, that's

0:27:18.280 --> 0:27:21.920
<v Speaker 1>how they're able to actually start to leverage a platform

0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:25.239
<v Speaker 1>and grow as a celebrity. So it's easy to say, oh, well,

0:27:25.240 --> 0:27:28.040
<v Speaker 1>they should just delete their social media. It's not possible

0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:30.399
<v Speaker 1>when you're in that position to just delete your social media.

0:27:30.560 --> 0:27:32.359
<v Speaker 1>The only thing that you can do is to put

0:27:32.600 --> 0:27:35.919
<v Speaker 1>fail safes in place, like logging off or not reading

0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the comments, or having someone externally manage your social media

0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:41.159
<v Speaker 1>page so that you're not reading those comments. But to

0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:44.240
<v Speaker 1>sort of say that they don't or shouldn't have it,

0:27:44.240 --> 0:27:46.560
<v Speaker 1>it means that they couldn't actually do their career properly

0:27:46.600 --> 0:27:47.320
<v Speaker 1>without it either.

0:27:47.560 --> 0:27:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, there are a lot of and I known this

0:27:49.200 --> 0:27:51.879
<v Speaker 2>firsthand from people that I know in the industry, there

0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:55.600
<v Speaker 2>are a lot of casting directors and agencies that will

0:27:55.640 --> 0:27:58.480
<v Speaker 2>literally might not hire the better actress, but they might

0:27:58.560 --> 0:28:01.840
<v Speaker 2>hire the actress or actor they have a bigger social

0:28:01.840 --> 0:28:02.840
<v Speaker 2>media following.

0:28:02.720 --> 0:28:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely because it's free advertising, totally. Basically.

0:28:05.880 --> 0:28:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Jesse describes that she almost became obsessed with reading these

0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:10.560
<v Speaker 2>negative comments. So she would literally wake up first thing

0:28:10.600 --> 0:28:12.520
<v Speaker 2>in the morning and all she would do is roll

0:28:12.560 --> 0:28:15.399
<v Speaker 2>over and start reading. She couldn't stop. Now, there was

0:28:15.400 --> 0:28:17.440
<v Speaker 2>this one performance coming up, and all she wanted to

0:28:17.480 --> 0:28:19.560
<v Speaker 2>do was lose weight for the performance. Because she knows

0:28:19.560 --> 0:28:22.400
<v Speaker 2>that everyone calls her fat, which, mind you, she absolutely

0:28:22.520 --> 0:28:24.040
<v Speaker 2>was not. If anyone can go and have a look

0:28:24.040 --> 0:28:27.120
<v Speaker 2>at her, she's so far from fat and ugly, it's ridiculous.

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:31.520
<v Speaker 2>She starved herself. She literally ate nothing until she felt faint.

0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:33.800
<v Speaker 2>She might eat like a biscuit for a week because

0:28:33.800 --> 0:28:35.239
<v Speaker 2>all she wanted to do. She said, I didn't care

0:28:35.240 --> 0:28:38.120
<v Speaker 2>if anybody thought my performance was great. I just wanted

0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:41.680
<v Speaker 2>somebody to comment and say, oh my gosh, she's lost weight.

0:28:41.880 --> 0:28:42.920
<v Speaker 1>She's so skinny now.

0:28:43.200 --> 0:28:45.520
<v Speaker 2>So then this was sort of the performance that pushed

0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:48.840
<v Speaker 2>her over the edge because after this there were a

0:28:48.880 --> 0:28:51.360
<v Speaker 2>bunch of tweets saying how ugly she was. But there

0:28:51.440 --> 0:28:55.000
<v Speaker 2>was one from Britain's Royal commentating bitch Katie Hopkins that

0:28:55.040 --> 0:28:56.360
<v Speaker 2>we spoke about last week.

0:28:56.520 --> 0:29:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we spoke about Katie Hopkins in our Mega Market episode. Coincidentally,

0:29:01.240 --> 0:29:04.640
<v Speaker 1>completely her comment or her tweet is what really put

0:29:04.720 --> 0:29:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Jesse Nelson over the edge.

0:29:06.520 --> 0:29:08.800
<v Speaker 2>So Jesse's gone to try and starve us off and

0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:13.520
<v Speaker 2>lose weight. Katie Hopkins tweets directly after and says Packet

0:29:13.560 --> 0:29:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Mix have still got a chubby in their ranks. Less

0:29:16.720 --> 0:29:18.960
<v Speaker 2>little mix, more pick and mix.

0:29:19.320 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 1>And so Jesse didn't even know that this tweet had

0:29:21.840 --> 0:29:24.200
<v Speaker 1>been had come out, And what had happened was that

0:29:24.240 --> 0:29:26.320
<v Speaker 1>she sat down to do an interview the day after

0:29:26.560 --> 0:29:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the show where she was feeling really really good about herself,

0:29:29.760 --> 0:29:31.720
<v Speaker 1>and one of the journalists had said to her, oh,

0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:34.280
<v Speaker 1>did you see what Katie Hopkins tweeted about you last night?

0:29:34.640 --> 0:29:36.680
<v Speaker 1>And so even though she hadn't read it herself on

0:29:36.720 --> 0:29:40.480
<v Speaker 1>social media, she couldn't avoid the people were still talking

0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:43.080
<v Speaker 1>about her in this negative light, and that was the

0:29:43.120 --> 0:29:46.400
<v Speaker 1>complete undoing of Jesse Nelson. In this documentary, she said

0:29:46.440 --> 0:29:49.400
<v Speaker 1>that that's when she spiraled into a real depressive state.

0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:52.520
<v Speaker 1>It breaks my heart, but that's when she's thought, I'm

0:29:52.560 --> 0:29:55.120
<v Speaker 1>never going to be happy again. So she tried to

0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:59.920
<v Speaker 1>commit suicide. And it was this constant barrage of nasty

0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:03.800
<v Speaker 1>online that changed her perception and her self worth to

0:30:03.840 --> 0:30:05.880
<v Speaker 1>a point where she wanted to take her own life.

0:30:06.040 --> 0:30:10.200
<v Speaker 2>So, speaking about the tweet, Jesse says, all I remember

0:30:10.240 --> 0:30:12.720
<v Speaker 2>feeling at that time is what is the fucking point.

0:30:12.800 --> 0:30:15.320
<v Speaker 2>I've starved myself for a week and I'm getting called fat.

0:30:15.360 --> 0:30:17.320
<v Speaker 2>I could be the skinniest girl in the whole world,

0:30:17.320 --> 0:30:19.840
<v Speaker 2>and this is just never going to go away, and

0:30:19.880 --> 0:30:23.880
<v Speaker 2>that was literally what pushed her to overdose. She took

0:30:23.920 --> 0:30:26.040
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of peals in her house and went to

0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 2>bed and just thought, I can't deal with the pain anymore.

0:30:28.880 --> 0:30:32.360
<v Speaker 2>And her saving grace her then boyfriend, who just said,

0:30:32.400 --> 0:30:35.640
<v Speaker 2>what's wrong? Way you upset? And she told him luckily,

0:30:35.920 --> 0:30:38.800
<v Speaker 2>and they got help for her and of an ambulance. Yeah,

0:30:38.800 --> 0:30:39.560
<v Speaker 2>I got an ambulance.

0:30:39.640 --> 0:30:42.360
<v Speaker 1>It's very easy to sort of spit vile on the

0:30:42.400 --> 0:30:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Internet and to not think about the repercussions that that has,

0:30:46.480 --> 0:30:50.480
<v Speaker 1>and it's so quick. There's a grotesque lack of accountability.

0:30:50.920 --> 0:30:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Where we can log onto an Instagram, we can jump

0:30:53.520 --> 0:30:57.040
<v Speaker 1>onto someone's profile in a very very quick succession, write

0:30:57.080 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 1>something absolutely hideous and then go out and get a

0:30:59.760 --> 0:31:02.520
<v Speaker 1>peat afterwards, as though nothing happened. At least back in

0:31:02.560 --> 0:31:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the day when when we were at school, if we

0:31:04.840 --> 0:31:07.320
<v Speaker 1>were getting bullied, someone would have to find us in

0:31:07.320 --> 0:31:10.760
<v Speaker 1>the playground and physically say it to our face. It

0:31:10.840 --> 0:31:13.160
<v Speaker 1>was said to you and you could still remember it,

0:31:13.280 --> 0:31:15.920
<v Speaker 1>whereas with social media you can go back to that

0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:18.400
<v Speaker 1>comment and you can reread it and reread it, and

0:31:18.440 --> 0:31:20.600
<v Speaker 1>if that comment isn't written on your page, just say

0:31:20.640 --> 0:31:23.000
<v Speaker 1>it's written on a post that someone else has posted

0:31:23.000 --> 0:31:26.120
<v Speaker 1>over you. You can't delete that, you can keep rereading

0:31:26.160 --> 0:31:29.320
<v Speaker 1>these negative comments. The onus is on the person to block,

0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:30.640
<v Speaker 1>which is just so unfair.

0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:33.480
<v Speaker 2>And it's also there's a difference with now somebody coming

0:31:33.560 --> 0:31:36.719
<v Speaker 2>up to you in a playground and saying you're fat,

0:31:37.440 --> 0:31:40.960
<v Speaker 2>and somebody saying it on a social platform to somebody

0:31:41.000 --> 0:31:45.040
<v Speaker 2>that it could reach fifty million people, yeah, million people

0:31:45.360 --> 0:31:46.240
<v Speaker 2>with Instagram.

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:50.480
<v Speaker 1>The flavor of bullying is changing, so bullying isn't just

0:31:50.800 --> 0:31:54.240
<v Speaker 1>one type anymore. There's so many different ways that you

0:31:54.280 --> 0:31:57.560
<v Speaker 1>can bully someone online. Now you can bully someone by

0:31:57.600 --> 0:32:01.080
<v Speaker 1>sliding into their DMS. You can bully someone by excluding

0:32:01.120 --> 0:32:04.480
<v Speaker 1>them from a group online. You can even bully your

0:32:04.520 --> 0:32:07.480
<v Speaker 1>ex by posting photos with your new partner if you

0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:11.520
<v Speaker 1>want to. And this subtle constantness of social media and

0:32:11.880 --> 0:32:14.680
<v Speaker 1>the fact that it's always on you ignore that it exists.

0:32:15.080 --> 0:32:18.040
<v Speaker 1>The bullying is always there. So kids these days who

0:32:18.040 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 1>are at school being bullied, they don't get to go

0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:23.000
<v Speaker 1>home and then have a break from it. They go

0:32:23.120 --> 0:32:25.240
<v Speaker 1>home and they can go onto their computers or onto

0:32:25.280 --> 0:32:29.920
<v Speaker 1>their phones, and it's this constant that never switches off. Yeah,

0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:32.640
<v Speaker 1>that I think can really break people's spirits. And I

0:32:32.640 --> 0:32:35.840
<v Speaker 1>think people underestimate the power of words. I was not

0:32:36.000 --> 0:32:38.160
<v Speaker 1>very bullied at school, to be honest. But there's one

0:32:38.200 --> 0:32:40.400
<v Speaker 1>comment I remember someone saying to me. It's pretty funny

0:32:40.520 --> 0:32:42.560
<v Speaker 1>they called me p head because I had a small head.

0:32:42.600 --> 0:32:44.080
<v Speaker 1>That's not funny, that's horrible.

0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, I had a small head, and I'm might like

0:32:46.320 --> 0:32:48.240
<v Speaker 2>my head is quite small now. But the point of

0:32:48.280 --> 0:32:52.360
<v Speaker 2>this is I have remembered that forever. Yeah, and I

0:32:52.400 --> 0:32:55.120
<v Speaker 2>have a friend, same thing, were the same age.

0:32:55.160 --> 0:32:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Don't have a small head. But the fact that someone

0:32:56.920 --> 0:32:58.600
<v Speaker 1>said that to you, now that's what you think. But

0:32:58.680 --> 0:33:00.480
<v Speaker 1>you think you have a small head. See, maybe I do,

0:33:00.520 --> 0:33:02.160
<v Speaker 1>and I was probably sick. I have another friend and

0:33:02.200 --> 0:33:04.600
<v Speaker 1>somebody said to them, also at the same age, you

0:33:04.680 --> 0:33:07.480
<v Speaker 1>have more roles than the bakery. Now, when you're a kid,

0:33:07.520 --> 0:33:10.040
<v Speaker 1>you can laugh at that because that's funny because bakeries

0:33:10.080 --> 0:33:13.800
<v Speaker 1>have rolls, bread rolls. But I know this girl has

0:33:13.960 --> 0:33:17.520
<v Speaker 1>never forgotten that, and she wouldn't wear a swimsuit for

0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:20.720
<v Speaker 1>fifteen years. It's because of one throwaway comment, and people

0:33:20.760 --> 0:33:24.640
<v Speaker 1>need to really remember how powerful your words can be. Yeah,

0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:28.480
<v Speaker 1>I totally agree. It's so easy to be so casual

0:33:28.560 --> 0:33:30.800
<v Speaker 1>in the way that we can leave comments. And so

0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I think of like the girls who are on The Bachelorne.

0:33:32.560 --> 0:33:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I know when I was on the series, and I'm

0:33:34.600 --> 0:33:38.240
<v Speaker 1>sure you copped it as well. But for example Abby,

0:33:38.320 --> 0:33:40.760
<v Speaker 1>So I went onto Abby's Instagram and I thought, some

0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:43.680
<v Speaker 1>of these comments are just vile. The people who are

0:33:43.680 --> 0:33:47.080
<v Speaker 1>writing them probably didn't even think twice about that comment.

0:33:47.600 --> 0:33:51.200
<v Speaker 1>They've been encouraged to do so by this mob mentality.

0:33:51.560 --> 0:33:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Other people are doing it, so therefore it's fine that

0:33:53.680 --> 0:33:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I do it, and it's not going to be my

0:33:55.120 --> 0:33:57.920
<v Speaker 1>comment that tips someone over the edge. Well, actually it

0:33:58.000 --> 0:34:00.000
<v Speaker 1>might be your comment that tips someone over the edge,

0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:02.760
<v Speaker 1>or it might be a combination of all the comments.

0:34:02.880 --> 0:34:05.479
<v Speaker 1>You don't know where someone is at in their personal journey,

0:34:05.800 --> 0:34:07.960
<v Speaker 1>and they might be really, really struggling.

0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:11.320
<v Speaker 2>I just don't understand it. I have never, in my life,

0:34:11.440 --> 0:34:14.600
<v Speaker 2>hand on heart, can say I've never written anything nasty

0:34:14.680 --> 0:34:15.720
<v Speaker 2>on somebody's post.

0:34:15.840 --> 0:34:18.479
<v Speaker 1>That's because you're a nice person, Fritney, and you're even

0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:21.000
<v Speaker 1>so even handed on this podcast. I say something bitchy

0:34:21.000 --> 0:34:23.640
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, now, Laura, pull your head in, let's

0:34:23.640 --> 0:34:26.080
<v Speaker 1>re record that I just couldn't imagine.

0:34:26.360 --> 0:34:29.920
<v Speaker 2>I could never imagine wanting to make somebody feel horrible

0:34:29.960 --> 0:34:30.839
<v Speaker 2>about themselves.

0:34:30.920 --> 0:34:35.520
<v Speaker 1>You're assuming that everyone is as normal and considered as

0:34:35.560 --> 0:34:38.040
<v Speaker 1>what you are. This is something that I was told

0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:39.239
<v Speaker 1>to me when I was in the batchelor, and I

0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:42.160
<v Speaker 1>think it was great advice. You might pass someone on

0:34:42.200 --> 0:34:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the street and that person could be a full on

0:34:46.120 --> 0:34:48.560
<v Speaker 1>smacky and by smacky, I mean like a crack at it,

0:34:48.719 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 1>like they've got their own issues going on, and their

0:34:51.560 --> 0:34:53.759
<v Speaker 1>issues are in no way reflection of what's going on

0:34:53.800 --> 0:34:56.080
<v Speaker 1>with you. That person might call out to you from

0:34:56.080 --> 0:35:00.000
<v Speaker 1>across the street and say you're fat and ugly, right,

0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:02.160
<v Speaker 1>and you're gonna walk down the street and go, oh,

0:35:02.160 --> 0:35:04.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm going across the road and get the hell away

0:35:04.480 --> 0:35:08.400
<v Speaker 1>from that person because they are crazy. That exact person

0:35:08.520 --> 0:35:11.440
<v Speaker 1>might say you're fat and ugly to you on social media,

0:35:11.480 --> 0:35:14.200
<v Speaker 1>but because they're under the veil of social media, you

0:35:14.320 --> 0:35:16.640
<v Speaker 1>believe it. You read that and you think, oh my god,

0:35:16.680 --> 0:35:18.600
<v Speaker 1>this person I don't know thinks I'm fat and ugly.

0:35:18.840 --> 0:35:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Whereas had they said it to you in real life

0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:24.080
<v Speaker 1>and in the context of whatever they're going through, you

0:35:24.120 --> 0:35:26.279
<v Speaker 1>would think to yourself, I really don't care about that

0:35:26.280 --> 0:35:29.919
<v Speaker 1>person's opinions. It doesn't affect me. But everyone is anonymous.

0:35:30.120 --> 0:35:32.799
<v Speaker 1>It makes everyone even we think everyone comes from the

0:35:32.880 --> 0:35:36.000
<v Speaker 1>same position. But people who are writing these awful things,

0:35:36.239 --> 0:35:39.600
<v Speaker 1>they're not considered, they're not kind, they're not the sort

0:35:39.600 --> 0:35:41.520
<v Speaker 1>of person that you would want to be friends with

0:35:41.640 --> 0:35:43.960
<v Speaker 1>in the real world. So sometimes we need to take

0:35:43.960 --> 0:35:46.719
<v Speaker 1>a step back and go, why do we care so

0:35:47.000 --> 0:35:50.279
<v Speaker 1>much about the opinions of strangers? Why do we get

0:35:50.360 --> 0:35:52.759
<v Speaker 1>so much validation from Instagram?

0:35:53.200 --> 0:35:55.960
<v Speaker 2>On the other side of that, if you wouldn't on

0:35:56.040 --> 0:35:59.760
<v Speaker 2>the street walk up to somebody and say you're so ugly,

0:36:00.040 --> 0:36:02.480
<v Speaker 2>I hope you die, what makes you think it's okay

0:36:02.480 --> 0:36:03.040
<v Speaker 2>to write it?

0:36:03.320 --> 0:36:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I totally agree.

0:36:04.760 --> 0:36:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, these keyboard warriors, they would. I can guarantee you

0:36:07.560 --> 0:36:09.600
<v Speaker 2>the people that say these things would never walk up

0:36:09.600 --> 0:36:11.879
<v Speaker 2>to you on the street face to face and say this, never,

0:36:12.000 --> 0:36:14.160
<v Speaker 2>especially if you're in a group. But they get this

0:36:14.600 --> 0:36:17.360
<v Speaker 2>ridiculous courage and go and blurt it all out on

0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:18.120
<v Speaker 2>social media.

0:36:18.200 --> 0:36:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Did you hear that? Social media? So Instagram specifically is

0:36:21.160 --> 0:36:25.400
<v Speaker 1>bringing in a tool where it's got artificial intelligence. So

0:36:25.880 --> 0:36:28.799
<v Speaker 1>if it thinks that you're saying something that's bullying, So

0:36:28.920 --> 0:36:31.600
<v Speaker 1>if you write something in saying like you're fat and ugly,

0:36:31.960 --> 0:36:34.480
<v Speaker 1>it'll ask you do you actually want to post this,

0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:36.880
<v Speaker 1>and it will give you a second to consider the

0:36:36.920 --> 0:36:40.719
<v Speaker 1>thing that you're posting in hope that some people will

0:36:40.719 --> 0:36:42.839
<v Speaker 1>be considered enough to go, actually, do you know what

0:36:42.840 --> 0:36:44.640
<v Speaker 1>that is mean? I'm not going to post it. I

0:36:44.680 --> 0:36:48.080
<v Speaker 1>do like that Facebook is making some changes. However, I

0:36:48.120 --> 0:36:50.680
<v Speaker 1>do think those changes are not great enough. I think

0:36:50.680 --> 0:36:53.960
<v Speaker 1>we're too far down the pipeline of bullying in social

0:36:54.000 --> 0:36:57.640
<v Speaker 1>media that they're not catching up quick enough. The leaps

0:36:57.680 --> 0:37:00.319
<v Speaker 1>and bounds that Facebook are making to prevent people from

0:37:00.320 --> 0:37:03.120
<v Speaker 1>doing this on their platform are not great enough.

0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Yet. There's also the age old saying of treat people

0:37:06.160 --> 0:37:08.440
<v Speaker 2>how you want to be treated, And it's so true.

0:37:08.480 --> 0:37:11.520
<v Speaker 2>If you wouldn't want somebody telling you ripping you to

0:37:11.560 --> 0:37:15.520
<v Speaker 2>shreds your appearance who you are as a person, If

0:37:15.520 --> 0:37:17.960
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't want that, why do you think it's okay

0:37:18.000 --> 0:37:19.200
<v Speaker 2>to do that to somebody else?

0:37:19.239 --> 0:37:21.640
<v Speaker 1>When you were in the Bachelor, did you find that

0:37:21.680 --> 0:37:24.920
<v Speaker 1>you received any online bullying? Did this happen to you specifically? So?

0:37:25.120 --> 0:37:28.279
<v Speaker 2>I did receive some, to be fair, probably the least

0:37:28.320 --> 0:37:30.839
<v Speaker 2>out of everybody. So I can't complain, but I'm still

0:37:30.880 --> 0:37:34.160
<v Speaker 2>going to because it wasn't good. So I was pretty

0:37:34.360 --> 0:37:35.960
<v Speaker 2>event free until the very end. And there are a

0:37:35.960 --> 0:37:37.840
<v Speaker 2>few days towards the end, which is when you actually

0:37:37.840 --> 0:37:39.920
<v Speaker 2>reached out to me. That's why I remember, because you

0:37:39.960 --> 0:37:42.960
<v Speaker 2>were just seeing some stuff that was quite nice. But

0:37:43.000 --> 0:37:45.560
<v Speaker 2>the attacks on me, I don't know if I should

0:37:45.560 --> 0:37:49.520
<v Speaker 2>say luckily or unluckily. Luckily were not about my appearance,

0:37:49.600 --> 0:37:52.319
<v Speaker 2>but unluckily, which could be worse. It was about who

0:37:52.360 --> 0:37:53.200
<v Speaker 2>I was as a person.

0:37:53.560 --> 0:37:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that crazy that we value the way we look

0:37:56.600 --> 0:37:58.920
<v Speaker 1>and what people think of our appearance more so than

0:37:58.960 --> 0:38:00.960
<v Speaker 1>what people think of who who we are as a person.

0:38:01.160 --> 0:38:03.319
<v Speaker 2>I think I was actually opposite in this. I was

0:38:03.320 --> 0:38:06.680
<v Speaker 2>so upset that people were attacking my character because I

0:38:06.719 --> 0:38:08.200
<v Speaker 2>take a lot of pride in who I am as

0:38:08.200 --> 0:38:10.160
<v Speaker 2>a person. You could say what you want about my looks,

0:38:10.160 --> 0:38:13.480
<v Speaker 2>it'll still upset me. But I'm more proud of who

0:38:13.520 --> 0:38:16.080
<v Speaker 2>I am as a person. And yeah, you know the

0:38:16.120 --> 0:38:18.200
<v Speaker 2>way I treat people, and I always try to treat

0:38:18.200 --> 0:38:22.120
<v Speaker 2>people well, and people were just character assassinating me in

0:38:22.160 --> 0:38:24.279
<v Speaker 2>the things I were saying. One or two people had

0:38:24.280 --> 0:38:25.719
<v Speaker 2>said it at the start, and I thought, oh, I

0:38:26.080 --> 0:38:26.919
<v Speaker 2>can brush that off.

0:38:27.040 --> 0:38:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:38:27.160 --> 0:38:30.040
<v Speaker 2>People were saying the same things, but every time someone

0:38:30.080 --> 0:38:33.160
<v Speaker 2>added a comment it held a different weight to how

0:38:33.200 --> 0:38:35.680
<v Speaker 2>it affected me. Yeah, so someone said it once, someone

0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:37.560
<v Speaker 2>said it twice, someone said it three times, and I

0:38:37.560 --> 0:38:40.759
<v Speaker 2>could brush it off. But at the five hundredth time,

0:38:41.320 --> 0:38:43.520
<v Speaker 2>I thought, oh my god, I can't deal with this anymore.

0:38:43.640 --> 0:38:46.600
<v Speaker 1>They've done research studies on social media in that it

0:38:46.719 --> 0:38:50.920
<v Speaker 1>is so addictive. We are so addicted to the instant

0:38:50.920 --> 0:38:55.120
<v Speaker 1>gratification that we get from validation from others. So we

0:38:55.200 --> 0:38:58.360
<v Speaker 1>post a photo, we get likes and comments. That affirmation

0:38:58.520 --> 0:39:01.960
<v Speaker 1>makes us feel good. It releases dopamine. That is the

0:39:02.080 --> 0:39:06.719
<v Speaker 1>exact same reward system that we get from gambling. It's

0:39:06.760 --> 0:39:09.919
<v Speaker 1>a drug and that we get from drugs and sugar. Yeah,

0:39:09.960 --> 0:39:12.320
<v Speaker 1>and sugar. This is Brittany speaking with her lipto a

0:39:12.400 --> 0:39:15.320
<v Speaker 1>nice tea on the table. Here, we are being rewarded

0:39:15.520 --> 0:39:18.440
<v Speaker 1>for using Instagram. We are becoming obsessed with it, and

0:39:18.480 --> 0:39:21.719
<v Speaker 1>we are becoming addicted to it. It becomes problematic when

0:39:22.320 --> 0:39:26.759
<v Speaker 1>we're seeking approval and complimentary comments from people who we

0:39:26.880 --> 0:39:29.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know over the people who we actually do know

0:39:29.160 --> 0:39:31.319
<v Speaker 1>in real life, our friends and our family and this

0:39:31.400 --> 0:39:32.080
<v Speaker 1>is so true.

0:39:32.239 --> 0:39:34.520
<v Speaker 2>But I remember my family saying to me, and I

0:39:34.520 --> 0:39:37.560
<v Speaker 2>think you said it to me and my friends. Everyone

0:39:37.560 --> 0:39:39.600
<v Speaker 2>that knows you brit knows that you're not like this,

0:39:39.760 --> 0:39:41.480
<v Speaker 2>and everyone knows you who knows what sort of a

0:39:41.480 --> 0:39:43.479
<v Speaker 2>person you are, and that's all that matters. And that's

0:39:43.520 --> 0:39:45.920
<v Speaker 2>such a great thing to say. And I did know that,

0:39:46.120 --> 0:39:49.200
<v Speaker 2>but there is still something different knowing. I remember just

0:39:49.200 --> 0:39:52.600
<v Speaker 2>thinking the world Australia hates me right now, and that's

0:39:52.640 --> 0:39:54.719
<v Speaker 2>just a lot of pressure on anybody to think that

0:39:54.760 --> 0:39:58.520
<v Speaker 2>you're just so thoroughly disliked in that moment. So you

0:39:58.640 --> 0:40:01.560
<v Speaker 2>know that their opinion doesn't matter. And anyone that's been

0:40:01.600 --> 0:40:05.239
<v Speaker 2>online bullied you can be brave enough and strong enough

0:40:05.280 --> 0:40:08.279
<v Speaker 2>and smart enough to know that these opinions don't have

0:40:08.320 --> 0:40:11.719
<v Speaker 2>any substance, but that does not change the fact that

0:40:11.840 --> 0:40:16.000
<v Speaker 2>it weighs on you heavily. So how did you feel

0:40:16.040 --> 0:40:17.839
<v Speaker 2>and cope when you were being because you call quite

0:40:17.880 --> 0:40:20.880
<v Speaker 2>heavily trolled at that time of your Bachelor finale, weren't you.

0:40:21.120 --> 0:40:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's the unfortunate side of being on the Bachelor

0:40:25.400 --> 0:40:27.879
<v Speaker 1>is that everyone is very black and white. People don't

0:40:27.880 --> 0:40:30.080
<v Speaker 1>take the sort of position of oh, all these girls

0:40:30.080 --> 0:40:32.400
<v Speaker 1>are really nice. I just want the bachelor to be happy.

0:40:32.719 --> 0:40:36.040
<v Speaker 1>They go, I like this girl and all the other

0:40:36.080 --> 0:40:38.359
<v Speaker 1>girls suck. And if you don't pick this girl, then

0:40:38.360 --> 0:40:41.040
<v Speaker 1>you're an idiot. Will you become a character? People see

0:40:41.040 --> 0:40:44.000
<v Speaker 1>you as characters and they forget you're real. Totally. The

0:40:44.080 --> 0:40:47.600
<v Speaker 1>fan favorite of our season wasn't me. The fan favorite

0:40:47.600 --> 0:40:50.719
<v Speaker 1>of our season was Tara, And so when it came

0:40:50.760 --> 0:40:53.239
<v Speaker 1>to our finale night, Tara went home at number three,

0:40:53.600 --> 0:40:56.839
<v Speaker 1>and in the finale it was Elise and I. And

0:40:56.920 --> 0:41:00.919
<v Speaker 1>so when our episode finished, yes, we'd receive a lot

0:41:00.920 --> 0:41:05.480
<v Speaker 1>of really positive and complimentary and supportive comments, but we

0:41:05.640 --> 0:41:08.719
<v Speaker 1>also received a hell of a lot of negative comments,

0:41:08.920 --> 0:41:11.359
<v Speaker 1>which seems crazy now because we're still together and we're

0:41:11.400 --> 0:41:14.879
<v Speaker 1>so happy. But we received comments from people telling us

0:41:15.320 --> 0:41:18.600
<v Speaker 1>that they hope we had cancer, that they hope we died.

0:41:18.800 --> 0:41:21.000
<v Speaker 1>You know that Matt was an absolute idiot that you

0:41:21.040 --> 0:41:22.680
<v Speaker 1>know he should have been with Tara, and.

0:41:22.719 --> 0:41:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Right, so, you know, somebody, if you know someone is

0:41:25.080 --> 0:41:27.560
<v Speaker 2>sitting at home writing to you saying I hope you

0:41:27.760 --> 0:41:31.480
<v Speaker 2>die just because you found love, you know that they're

0:41:31.520 --> 0:41:33.960
<v Speaker 2>an idiot, don't you. But it doesn't change that It.

0:41:33.960 --> 0:41:37.799
<v Speaker 1>Hurts totally and on that so, on the night the

0:41:37.880 --> 0:41:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Tara got Sent Home, which was the third last episode,

0:41:41.800 --> 0:41:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I watch it with my girlfriends and I remember the

0:41:45.200 --> 0:41:49.200
<v Speaker 1>onslaught of abuse Saturre happening towards Matt and towards me

0:41:49.320 --> 0:41:53.080
<v Speaker 1>on our own private instagrams because people had assumed then

0:41:53.120 --> 0:41:55.960
<v Speaker 1>that that meant I had won. And I sat in

0:41:56.000 --> 0:42:00.319
<v Speaker 1>my bedroom and I bawled my eyes out, hysterically, my

0:42:00.360 --> 0:42:02.920
<v Speaker 1>eyes out, because I should have been so happy to

0:42:02.920 --> 0:42:04.920
<v Speaker 1>be able to start my relationship with this man I

0:42:04.960 --> 0:42:07.680
<v Speaker 1>was in love with, but instead I sat there thinking,

0:42:07.800 --> 0:42:10.759
<v Speaker 1>how on earth are we ever ever going to be

0:42:10.760 --> 0:42:13.560
<v Speaker 1>able to make this relationship work when no one wants

0:42:13.600 --> 0:42:15.440
<v Speaker 1>us to be together? And that's what it felt like.

0:42:15.600 --> 0:42:17.719
<v Speaker 1>You genuinely felt like I want you to succeed, and

0:42:17.760 --> 0:42:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I know that that's not the case. And now, looking back,

0:42:20.320 --> 0:42:23.759
<v Speaker 1>everyone is complimentary. I just think that people are very

0:42:23.800 --> 0:42:27.080
<v Speaker 1>reactional and they don't think about what they're writing because

0:42:27.080 --> 0:42:31.160
<v Speaker 1>they're angry the show finishes. They're angry and they didn't

0:42:31.160 --> 0:42:34.800
<v Speaker 1>go their way. And yes, it's this safety and numbers

0:42:34.840 --> 0:42:38.239
<v Speaker 1>mentality that makes them think it's okay to write what

0:42:38.239 --> 0:42:40.840
<v Speaker 1>they're writing because everybody else has written the same thing.

0:42:40.800 --> 0:42:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Same thing with us. Brooke was the favorite from day

0:42:43.600 --> 0:42:47.200
<v Speaker 2>one in ours, and when she went home at number three,

0:42:47.600 --> 0:42:50.759
<v Speaker 2>also like Tara, that's when we all started to copy it.

0:42:51.120 --> 0:42:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Nick copped it a lot. I mean, ultimately, he is

0:42:53.440 --> 0:42:55.480
<v Speaker 2>there to find somebody that he wants to be with,

0:42:55.520 --> 0:42:59.360
<v Speaker 2>so their choices should be their choices. But for Sophie

0:42:59.360 --> 0:43:01.640
<v Speaker 2>and I Sophie, I don't know how much he actually copped.

0:43:01.840 --> 0:43:03.839
<v Speaker 2>We both more just got like, well, of course he's

0:43:03.840 --> 0:43:05.680
<v Speaker 2>never going to pick you guys, And now that Brook left,

0:43:05.680 --> 0:43:07.480
<v Speaker 2>so we got a lot of that. But people just

0:43:07.480 --> 0:43:09.760
<v Speaker 2>forget you're a real human basically that you're a character

0:43:09.760 --> 0:43:11.960
<v Speaker 2>in a show. Everyone's vying for their character. If their

0:43:12.040 --> 0:43:15.080
<v Speaker 2>character gets booted off, well then you know the world

0:43:15.120 --> 0:43:15.560
<v Speaker 2>is ending.

0:43:16.040 --> 0:43:19.200
<v Speaker 1>What do you think could be done to minimize bullying

0:43:19.280 --> 0:43:20.360
<v Speaker 1>moving forward? Online?

0:43:20.440 --> 0:43:23.120
<v Speaker 2>It's education, isn't it? Because there's only so much that

0:43:23.120 --> 0:43:25.440
<v Speaker 2>you could Instagram or Facebook can do to monitor what

0:43:25.480 --> 0:43:26.200
<v Speaker 2>people are saying.

0:43:26.440 --> 0:43:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, I disagree. I think that they can do a

0:43:28.400 --> 0:43:31.160
<v Speaker 1>hell of a lot more if they have artificial intelligence,

0:43:31.160 --> 0:43:33.239
<v Speaker 1>which can ask you do you want to post this?

0:43:33.680 --> 0:43:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Just like in our normal community in Australia, we have laws.

0:43:38.280 --> 0:43:41.960
<v Speaker 1>If you break those laws, you get punished. On Instagram

0:43:41.960 --> 0:43:45.399
<v Speaker 1>and Facebook, there's really not that many laws because there's

0:43:45.440 --> 0:43:48.080
<v Speaker 1>not a two step verification process. I can just go

0:43:48.120 --> 0:43:50.440
<v Speaker 1>and open up in your account for you email address.

0:43:50.480 --> 0:43:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, I do definitely agree, But my point is it's

0:43:54.600 --> 0:43:58.000
<v Speaker 2>almost like prevention is the best cure. We shouldn't have

0:43:58.040 --> 0:44:00.320
<v Speaker 2>to be blaming them for not doing enough to stop

0:44:00.320 --> 0:44:02.160
<v Speaker 2>people being nasty. We should be trying to stop the

0:44:02.200 --> 0:44:04.480
<v Speaker 2>people being nasty, and I think that starts with our

0:44:04.520 --> 0:44:08.040
<v Speaker 2>younger generations and just educating people. I totally agree with you,

0:44:08.160 --> 0:44:10.080
<v Speaker 2>and so that's what that's what I speak about when

0:44:10.080 --> 0:44:12.200
<v Speaker 2>I speak to these youths with Beautiful Minds, And that's

0:44:12.239 --> 0:44:14.319
<v Speaker 2>why I love this company, Beautiful Minds, because they are

0:44:14.320 --> 0:44:16.080
<v Speaker 2>going to call about.

0:44:15.760 --> 0:44:17.280
<v Speaker 1>What beautiful Minds is, Brittany.

0:44:17.320 --> 0:44:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, they're just going to the core, so to school

0:44:19.560 --> 0:44:23.080
<v Speaker 2>children and speaking to them about everything in mental health,

0:44:23.200 --> 0:44:25.759
<v Speaker 2>dealing with online and growing up. But something I have

0:44:25.840 --> 0:44:29.760
<v Speaker 2>spoken to them about girls particularly is being a kind

0:44:29.840 --> 0:44:32.360
<v Speaker 2>person and knowing that every single thing you say to

0:44:32.400 --> 0:44:35.400
<v Speaker 2>someone in real life and online will stay with them forever.

0:44:36.000 --> 0:44:38.600
<v Speaker 2>So I think that is a really huge thing we

0:44:38.600 --> 0:44:41.000
<v Speaker 2>should be really getting into our youths so that the

0:44:41.000 --> 0:44:43.319
<v Speaker 2>time they grow up they're not assholes.

0:44:43.520 --> 0:44:44.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree completely.

0:44:44.920 --> 0:44:47.719
<v Speaker 2>But also Instagram does have something that I put into

0:44:47.760 --> 0:44:50.440
<v Speaker 2>play when I was finishing The Bachelor, and that is

0:44:50.520 --> 0:44:51.799
<v Speaker 2>you can type in keywords.

0:44:51.840 --> 0:44:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Did you know that? No?

0:44:53.480 --> 0:44:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so you can type in keywords. So I typed in.

0:44:56.480 --> 0:44:59.840
<v Speaker 2>I think I even typed in whale, fat, slight, bitch, whale,

0:45:00.239 --> 0:45:02.239
<v Speaker 2>every negative word that you could think of that someone

0:45:02.280 --> 0:45:03.960
<v Speaker 2>might say to you that you don't want to hear.

0:45:04.120 --> 0:45:07.760
<v Speaker 2>You can type it in and it will block those words.

0:45:07.800 --> 0:45:10.880
<v Speaker 2>So if someone's typing that sentence, they get a warning.

0:45:11.040 --> 0:45:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh so it doesn't block, it gets a word, Well,

0:45:13.280 --> 0:45:15.840
<v Speaker 1>it stops, and I'm actually posting that it wecifically it

0:45:15.880 --> 0:45:17.680
<v Speaker 1>will yeah, like they'll no, I think they get one

0:45:17.719 --> 0:45:20.919
<v Speaker 1>warning and then it will be deleted. Wow okay, yeah,

0:45:21.000 --> 0:45:24.760
<v Speaker 1>so it's like a bullying filter. Well that's how accurate

0:45:24.760 --> 0:45:26.719
<v Speaker 1>it is. But I definitely put it on, and I

0:45:26.760 --> 0:45:28.400
<v Speaker 1>do think that those sorts of things need to be

0:45:28.520 --> 0:45:31.600
<v Speaker 1>used because there has to be The owners shouldn't always

0:45:31.640 --> 0:45:34.520
<v Speaker 1>fall on the person who's receiving the abuse. It shouldn't

0:45:34.600 --> 0:45:36.480
<v Speaker 1>just be like, oh, you're being abused, call or you

0:45:36.480 --> 0:45:39.560
<v Speaker 1>should block people, because that's just not enough. There needs

0:45:39.600 --> 0:45:42.560
<v Speaker 1>to be some other systems in place so that the

0:45:42.600 --> 0:45:45.920
<v Speaker 1>people who are copying the victims of this abuse have

0:45:46.120 --> 0:45:48.640
<v Speaker 1>tools to be able to protect themselves.

0:45:48.719 --> 0:45:50.920
<v Speaker 2>And you know, the crazy thing is to you just

0:45:51.040 --> 0:45:54.000
<v Speaker 2>when you're a victim of that, you can't win. So

0:45:54.760 --> 0:45:56.920
<v Speaker 2>you might think, Okay, I'm going to delete the comment

0:45:57.040 --> 0:46:01.040
<v Speaker 2>to protect myself, and then another troll come and say, oh,

0:46:01.080 --> 0:46:03.040
<v Speaker 2>look at her. She can't even handle it. She's deleting

0:46:03.040 --> 0:46:06.080
<v Speaker 2>her comments. Of course they're deleting their comments. They don't

0:46:06.120 --> 0:46:08.680
<v Speaker 2>want this negativity sitting on their page for them to

0:46:08.719 --> 0:46:12.000
<v Speaker 2>look at every day. Totally, so there's no way to

0:46:12.040 --> 0:46:12.720
<v Speaker 2>win it at the moment.

0:46:12.800 --> 0:46:15.240
<v Speaker 1>If you are having a really really hard time, now

0:46:15.719 --> 0:46:17.960
<v Speaker 1>this is not the end and it's not always going

0:46:18.000 --> 0:46:21.279
<v Speaker 1>to be like this, give yourself the opportunity for things

0:46:21.320 --> 0:46:24.560
<v Speaker 1>to get better, because anything that can spiral down can

0:46:24.600 --> 0:46:25.759
<v Speaker 1>always spiral back up.

0:46:25.960 --> 0:46:29.120
<v Speaker 2>A few other things you can do is to you

0:46:29.120 --> 0:46:31.520
<v Speaker 2>can always just block somebody, but you can also use

0:46:31.520 --> 0:46:34.840
<v Speaker 2>this filter that helps filter some words. If you're actually

0:46:34.880 --> 0:46:37.880
<v Speaker 2>experiencing that length of trouble, you can also there are

0:46:37.880 --> 0:46:40.640
<v Speaker 2>apps you can do now that ban you from using

0:46:40.800 --> 0:46:43.319
<v Speaker 2>Instagram or Facebook for a certain timeframe, So you can

0:46:43.320 --> 0:46:44.680
<v Speaker 2>say I only want to use it for one hour

0:46:44.680 --> 0:46:46.439
<v Speaker 2>in the morning, don't let me onto it for the day,

0:46:46.840 --> 0:46:48.520
<v Speaker 2>only let me onto it for an hour at night.

0:46:48.560 --> 0:46:52.160
<v Speaker 2>So it's forced. It's forcing you to limit your use.

0:46:52.360 --> 0:46:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it's forcing people to break the addiction cycle.

0:46:55.239 --> 0:46:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Thing I was thinking was interesting. I thought, if Instagram

0:46:58.760 --> 0:47:02.480
<v Speaker 1>has artificial intelligence where they can stop people from writing

0:47:02.520 --> 0:47:05.640
<v Speaker 1>comments that are bulliant comments, maybe they could go a

0:47:05.640 --> 0:47:08.440
<v Speaker 1>step further and use that artificial intelligence to know when

0:47:08.440 --> 0:47:11.279
<v Speaker 1>a photo's been photoshopped. So, for example, if you've put

0:47:11.280 --> 0:47:14.080
<v Speaker 1>your photo into face tune and you've smoothed your skin

0:47:14.160 --> 0:47:17.400
<v Speaker 1>and pinched your waist in, then maybe in the future,

0:47:17.440 --> 0:47:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Instagram could set it up so that they're like, Okay,

0:47:20.640 --> 0:47:23.040
<v Speaker 1>we know that this has been doctored, so we're going

0:47:23.080 --> 0:47:24.720
<v Speaker 1>to put a little symbol on this so that people

0:47:24.840 --> 0:47:26.600
<v Speaker 1>know that this is a photoshopped photo.

0:47:26.760 --> 0:47:28.279
<v Speaker 2>I was going to say, there's no way they'll ever

0:47:28.360 --> 0:47:30.919
<v Speaker 2>ban it, but that could be something people are now.

0:47:31.040 --> 0:47:32.759
<v Speaker 2>Even I've seen a few accounts where people who are

0:47:32.760 --> 0:47:37.680
<v Speaker 2>actually photoshopping themselves into destinations like they're on holidays. They're

0:47:37.680 --> 0:47:38.520
<v Speaker 2>not even on the holiday.

0:47:38.600 --> 0:47:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that crazy. It just shows you how that's how

0:47:41.080 --> 0:47:42.800
<v Speaker 1>much of social media is actually fat.

0:47:42.880 --> 0:47:44.680
<v Speaker 2>That's just so sad for that person.

0:47:44.840 --> 0:47:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Turn off your phones, go to a coffee shop and

0:47:48.120 --> 0:47:49.880
<v Speaker 1>meet some goddamn real people.

0:47:50.640 --> 0:47:53.440
<v Speaker 2>On the serious notes. To tie this up, guys, almost

0:47:53.520 --> 0:47:56.720
<v Speaker 2>half of Australians literally forty five percent will experience mental

0:47:56.719 --> 0:47:58.960
<v Speaker 2>illness in their lifetime. That is a huge number.

0:47:59.280 --> 0:48:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Insane. It's insane.

0:48:00.719 --> 0:48:04.879
<v Speaker 2>And it's not just Cyberboyne and depression online. That's all

0:48:04.920 --> 0:48:08.040
<v Speaker 2>sorts of depression, all age groups. In light of Ruok

0:48:08.239 --> 0:48:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Day which was last week.

0:48:09.600 --> 0:48:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it ties in so nicely to that.

0:48:11.200 --> 0:48:13.760
<v Speaker 2>It ties in nicely, and I think that you shouldn't

0:48:13.800 --> 0:48:15.560
<v Speaker 2>just have to wait for the one day to ask

0:48:15.600 --> 0:48:18.360
<v Speaker 2>your friend or a stranger or a colleague if they're okay.

0:48:18.560 --> 0:48:21.560
<v Speaker 2>It can go a really, really long way. So if

0:48:21.600 --> 0:48:24.880
<v Speaker 2>you're seeing any signs from anybody, or if this discussion

0:48:24.960 --> 0:48:28.680
<v Speaker 2>today has tapped into any feelings for you that are

0:48:28.719 --> 0:48:31.319
<v Speaker 2>making you feel a bit unsettled, or it has brought

0:48:31.320 --> 0:48:34.800
<v Speaker 2>anything to the surface, please speak to somebody. There's also

0:48:34.840 --> 0:48:37.920
<v Speaker 2>a lifeline number thirteen eleven forty four that.

0:48:37.880 --> 0:48:44.400
<v Speaker 1>You could call. Guys, it is time for our favorite

0:48:44.400 --> 0:48:48.799
<v Speaker 1>part of the episode, ask gun cut. We have had

0:48:49.080 --> 0:48:52.600
<v Speaker 1>so many people right in with their questions, and it

0:48:52.719 --> 0:48:58.680
<v Speaker 1>is amazing that you trust us with your relationship to barcles,

0:48:58.760 --> 0:49:01.840
<v Speaker 1>because I mean, we don't have any qualifications, but we

0:49:01.920 --> 0:49:05.480
<v Speaker 1>really thrive on giving relationship advice. So thank you for

0:49:05.520 --> 0:49:08.160
<v Speaker 1>trusting us with this. Brittany has picked out two. I

0:49:08.200 --> 0:49:09.959
<v Speaker 1>don't know what these questions are yet, so I'm coming

0:49:10.000 --> 0:49:10.440
<v Speaker 1>and cold.

0:49:10.719 --> 0:49:12.239
<v Speaker 2>Also, I'd just like to make a note. I know

0:49:12.280 --> 0:49:14.680
<v Speaker 2>you say we don't have any qualifications, but god damn,

0:49:14.719 --> 0:49:15.840
<v Speaker 2>we got some experience.

0:49:16.040 --> 0:49:19.799
<v Speaker 1>I have so much experience it's frightening. Please come at

0:49:19.800 --> 0:49:21.120
<v Speaker 1>me with the first question, Brittany.

0:49:21.360 --> 0:49:22.920
<v Speaker 2>I've been on a few dates with this guy and

0:49:22.960 --> 0:49:25.279
<v Speaker 2>I really like him. He was from Tinder. We got

0:49:25.320 --> 0:49:28.080
<v Speaker 2>along so well and things felt really natural. But after

0:49:28.120 --> 0:49:30.800
<v Speaker 2>the last date I wasn't really feeling it. He said

0:49:30.920 --> 0:49:33.920
<v Speaker 2>that girls that have slept with multiple guys are sluts.

0:49:34.400 --> 0:49:36.799
<v Speaker 2>He used that word so casually, as though it meant

0:49:36.800 --> 0:49:39.239
<v Speaker 2>nothing at all. I really hate the word, and I

0:49:39.239 --> 0:49:41.440
<v Speaker 2>felt a bit uncomfortable by it, to be honest, for me,

0:49:41.560 --> 0:49:43.399
<v Speaker 2>that kind of gave me a bit of doubt about him,

0:49:43.400 --> 0:49:45.920
<v Speaker 2>and I didn't find it respectful at all. What should

0:49:45.920 --> 0:49:47.600
<v Speaker 2>I do? Do I give him another go? Do I

0:49:47.600 --> 0:49:50.080
<v Speaker 2>give him the flick? What are your thoughts, Laura?

0:49:50.280 --> 0:49:53.600
<v Speaker 1>If you've walked away from that conversation with an erkie

0:49:53.719 --> 0:49:58.120
<v Speaker 1>feeling this guy sounds like a misogynistic pig.

0:49:58.239 --> 0:50:00.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm sorry, but who is he to say if

0:50:00.200 --> 0:50:03.120
<v Speaker 2>a woman has slept with multiple men to the slot,

0:50:03.320 --> 0:50:05.680
<v Speaker 2>why is that any different than if a man sleeps

0:50:05.719 --> 0:50:06.680
<v Speaker 2>with multiple women?

0:50:07.120 --> 0:50:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Because he has double standards?

0:50:08.560 --> 0:50:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I'm sorry, listener, I don't think this guy's

0:50:12.239 --> 0:50:13.960
<v Speaker 2>for you. I don't think the guys for anyone for

0:50:14.160 --> 0:50:16.759
<v Speaker 2>his thoughts, because he's not going to find someone that

0:50:16.960 --> 0:50:18.360
<v Speaker 2>is a forty year old virgin.

0:50:18.560 --> 0:50:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean he might. He might. He might, But

0:50:22.120 --> 0:50:23.840
<v Speaker 1>for him to be able to put labels on something

0:50:23.960 --> 0:50:26.759
<v Speaker 1>like that is a way for him to one he's

0:50:26.760 --> 0:50:28.759
<v Speaker 1>trying to test whether or not you have and to

0:50:28.760 --> 0:50:31.239
<v Speaker 1>get your reaction from that. By the sounds of things,

0:50:31.239 --> 0:50:33.680
<v Speaker 1>this guy is looking for someone who is submissive and

0:50:33.719 --> 0:50:37.880
<v Speaker 1>subordinate to him. I mean, this is not the nineteen forties.

0:50:38.280 --> 0:50:41.359
<v Speaker 1>You can have whatever sexual partners you want. It doesn't

0:50:41.440 --> 0:50:44.080
<v Speaker 1>define you as a person, it doesn't necessarily put you

0:50:44.120 --> 0:50:46.400
<v Speaker 1>into any labeled category that you don't want to be in.

0:50:46.800 --> 0:50:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you're exploring your sexuality to figure out what it

0:50:49.600 --> 0:50:51.120
<v Speaker 1>is that you want. It doesn't mean that you're not

0:50:51.120 --> 0:50:53.239
<v Speaker 1>going to then be in a committed relationship later on

0:50:53.280 --> 0:50:55.320
<v Speaker 1>down the track. And who is he to put that

0:50:55.400 --> 0:50:57.080
<v Speaker 1>label on you? And I'm sorry, but anyone.

0:50:57.160 --> 0:50:58.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if he went up to one of his friends

0:50:58.800 --> 0:51:00.839
<v Speaker 2>and said, how many people have you slept with, guys like, oh,

0:51:00.840 --> 0:51:04.200
<v Speaker 2>I've just hit fifty, can guarantee you he'd high five him.

0:51:04.440 --> 0:51:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. It's some really really biased slut shaming going on.

0:51:08.120 --> 0:51:10.480
<v Speaker 1>And I just think there are plenty of other guys

0:51:10.480 --> 0:51:12.520
<v Speaker 1>to choose from. If this is your early door's date

0:51:12.600 --> 0:51:15.400
<v Speaker 1>and you're already experiencing things like this coming out of

0:51:15.400 --> 0:51:18.440
<v Speaker 1>his mouth, then he needs to check himself and you

0:51:18.520 --> 0:51:20.960
<v Speaker 1>need to check yourself and check the hell out of there,

0:51:21.360 --> 0:51:23.839
<v Speaker 1>because this is not where it's This is not where

0:51:23.840 --> 0:51:27.319
<v Speaker 1>it ends. This is definitely where it starts. Yep, it's

0:51:27.480 --> 0:51:29.840
<v Speaker 1>basically a no from me. It's a big ass no

0:51:29.960 --> 0:51:32.200
<v Speaker 1>from me. Okay, I'm glad that we agreed on that one, Brandy.

0:51:32.440 --> 0:51:34.799
<v Speaker 1>Now number two, number two, this is a bit of

0:51:34.800 --> 0:51:37.919
<v Speaker 1>a different one. Not necessarily relationship advice but I liked

0:51:37.960 --> 0:51:42.880
<v Speaker 1>this because I think it's relevant the transition of turning thirty,

0:51:43.480 --> 0:51:45.600
<v Speaker 1>hitting in an age, and your life doesn't look like

0:51:45.640 --> 0:51:48.000
<v Speaker 1>you thought it would. How do you deal with that

0:51:48.160 --> 0:51:50.680
<v Speaker 1>and manage your expectations of not being where you thought

0:51:50.719 --> 0:51:54.239
<v Speaker 1>you would be? All right? So, firstly, what I have

0:51:54.320 --> 0:51:57.640
<v Speaker 1>to say to you, my friend, my dear listener is

0:51:57.880 --> 0:52:00.520
<v Speaker 1>gird friend. You are thirty. You are not twenty five.

0:52:01.120 --> 0:52:03.680
<v Speaker 2>As two people that are in their thirties, I think

0:52:03.880 --> 0:52:05.520
<v Speaker 2>life begins at thirty.

0:52:05.800 --> 0:52:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll probably say that again at forty. It really does.

0:52:09.040 --> 0:52:10.919
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't where I wanted to be at thirty either.

0:52:11.160 --> 0:52:14.759
<v Speaker 1>I was single, I was running around in circles with

0:52:14.800 --> 0:52:18.160
<v Speaker 1>my business. I had just dated a really, really questionable

0:52:18.239 --> 0:52:20.880
<v Speaker 1>guy who treated me like I wasn't worthy of anything.

0:52:21.560 --> 0:52:24.680
<v Speaker 1>And now I'm in another position later in life and

0:52:24.719 --> 0:52:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm really really happy. Things change rapidly. When you meet

0:52:28.000 --> 0:52:30.839
<v Speaker 1>the right person, things can click very very quickly. You

0:52:30.840 --> 0:52:33.360
<v Speaker 1>don't have to have timelines and everything in your life.

0:52:33.480 --> 0:52:35.440
<v Speaker 1>You should be able to be happy and accepting of

0:52:35.440 --> 0:52:38.840
<v Speaker 1>where you're at when you're there. So whatever it is

0:52:38.880 --> 0:52:40.520
<v Speaker 1>that you're doing as a thirty year old, you need

0:52:40.600 --> 0:52:41.640
<v Speaker 1>to find happiness in that.

0:52:41.760 --> 0:52:43.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm definitely not where I thought I would be at thirty,

0:52:43.760 --> 0:52:47.319
<v Speaker 2>but that's not a bad thing. I potentially am in

0:52:47.360 --> 0:52:49.560
<v Speaker 2>a better place than I thought I would be at thirty.

0:52:50.000 --> 0:52:52.719
<v Speaker 2>So sure, I thought i'd probably be married, white, pick

0:52:52.760 --> 0:52:56.120
<v Speaker 2>of fans, maybe a child, probably twenty five dogs. But

0:52:56.560 --> 0:52:58.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't have any of that. But that's not a

0:52:58.480 --> 0:53:00.640
<v Speaker 2>bad thing. So I'm not where I thought it would be.

0:53:00.680 --> 0:53:03.680
<v Speaker 2>But I'm starting my own business. I'm doing this with you.

0:53:03.760 --> 0:53:06.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm still traveling the world. I'm exploring the opportunities that

0:53:06.800 --> 0:53:08.879
<v Speaker 2>I never dreamt I could have, and that's because I've

0:53:08.880 --> 0:53:12.600
<v Speaker 2>been open to the opportunities and accepting of what the

0:53:12.680 --> 0:53:15.839
<v Speaker 2>universe is giving me. So you can't change the fact

0:53:15.880 --> 0:53:18.920
<v Speaker 2>that you have just turned thirty and you're not where

0:53:18.920 --> 0:53:20.759
<v Speaker 2>you thought you'd be. You can't change that, but you

0:53:20.760 --> 0:53:24.400
<v Speaker 2>can go work towards doing things to make you happy,

0:53:24.680 --> 0:53:26.880
<v Speaker 2>totally work towards where you want to be.

0:53:27.280 --> 0:53:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Things can change. In an instance, you could be thirty,

0:53:30.360 --> 0:53:32.960
<v Speaker 1>you could be married, you could have a kid, and

0:53:33.080 --> 0:53:35.480
<v Speaker 1>all it takes is for one thing to go bad,

0:53:35.680 --> 0:53:38.080
<v Speaker 1>for one thing to happen, for your entire life to

0:53:38.080 --> 0:53:40.279
<v Speaker 1>be thrown off course, and for you to be in

0:53:40.280 --> 0:53:43.040
<v Speaker 1>this exact situation where you aren't where you thought you

0:53:43.080 --> 0:53:45.920
<v Speaker 1>were going to be. That's just life. We can't control it,

0:53:46.280 --> 0:53:48.440
<v Speaker 1>and we need to be able to find happiness at

0:53:48.480 --> 0:53:51.360
<v Speaker 1>every step along the way. Trust in the journey of

0:53:51.400 --> 0:53:54.000
<v Speaker 1>your life and trust what is happening around you that

0:53:54.120 --> 0:53:57.399
<v Speaker 1>you are exactly where you're meant to be. Definitely, it's

0:53:57.480 --> 0:54:01.279
<v Speaker 1>just a big part of trusting the universe, really, isn't it. Yes?

0:54:01.320 --> 0:54:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Trust us? Trust guys. We feel so privileged that you

0:54:04.200 --> 0:54:06.839
<v Speaker 1>trust us with your questions and we will pick out

0:54:06.880 --> 0:54:10.439

<v Speaker 2>but I'll just jump straight on in hey with my suck. Basically,

0:54:45.320 --> 0:54:46.760
<v Speaker 2>people online dating or idiots.

0:54:47.239 --> 0:54:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, what's happened? What to do? That's nothing I did.

0:54:53.000 --> 0:54:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I love that you automatically think it was me. I

0:54:56.080 --> 0:54:59.040
<v Speaker 1>like live through you for your dating story, So please

<v Speaker 1>tell me more.

0:55:00.120 --> 0:55:02.640
<v Speaker 2>I could literally write a book on my life.

0:55:02.800 --> 0:55:05.800
<v Speaker 1>And how is online dating these days? What's the quality

0:55:05.840 --> 0:55:06.600
<v Speaker 1>of men out there?

0:55:07.120 --> 0:55:09.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you can post process and like

0:55:09.120 --> 0:55:11.680
<v Speaker 2>put a beep in, but it's fucked up. I we

0:55:11.719 --> 0:55:14.080
<v Speaker 2>swear on this podcast. It's fine, all right, I'm gonna

0:55:14.080 --> 0:55:14.440
<v Speaker 2>be honest.

0:55:14.480 --> 0:55:16.520
<v Speaker 1>It's odd, it's too much.

0:55:16.719 --> 0:55:19.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm not really dating anyone from there at the moment

0:55:19.080 --> 0:55:21.560
<v Speaker 2>because these are the sort of openers I get.

0:55:22.280 --> 0:55:24.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, I live for this.

0:55:24.719 --> 0:55:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so this is this is a baller. This one

0:55:27.280 --> 0:55:30.640
<v Speaker 2>first line, he says, I really think you are what

0:55:30.760 --> 0:55:34.120
<v Speaker 2>you eat. So when do I become you? Brittany? Now

0:55:34.120 --> 0:55:35.840
<v Speaker 2>I think that through for a minute. Do you get.

0:55:37.800 --> 0:55:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Wow?

0:55:38.719 --> 0:55:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Hornbag? Calm down. You will not be eating anything wow

0:55:42.719 --> 0:55:44.080
<v Speaker 2>remotely close to me.

0:55:44.680 --> 0:55:47.680
<v Speaker 1>And it's disgusting. Can you? But this is the thing,

0:55:47.760 --> 0:55:49.600
<v Speaker 1>this is the time that hurts my brain.

0:55:50.719 --> 0:55:52.560
<v Speaker 2>It hurts my ovaries.

0:55:52.840 --> 0:55:54.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you wanted to eat your ovaries, Brittany.

0:55:54.760 --> 0:55:57.440
<v Speaker 1>He probably would have they're a bit far up inside

0:55:57.440 --> 0:56:01.200
<v Speaker 1>there anyway. That's really really well, I'm gonna say that,

0:56:01.320 --> 0:56:02.000
<v Speaker 1>how's your date?

0:56:04.360 --> 0:56:04.839
<v Speaker 2>Good one?

0:56:05.040 --> 0:56:08.840
<v Speaker 1>You're welcome, you're here all day? That's so shitty. Do

0:56:08.920 --> 0:56:12.120
<v Speaker 1>these lines ever work for anyone? I wonder? I wonder, do.

0:56:12.120 --> 0:56:14.440
<v Speaker 2>You know what actually, if you guys have some real

0:56:14.560 --> 0:56:16.319
<v Speaker 2>bangers opening liners from on.

0:56:16.560 --> 0:56:19.120
<v Speaker 1>When we say bangers, BRIT's not trying to hit on you.

0:56:19.480 --> 0:56:22.359
<v Speaker 1>If you have some cracker one liners, right into us,

0:56:22.440 --> 0:56:24.920
<v Speaker 1>because I want to compile a few. Maybe we'll read

0:56:24.960 --> 0:56:27.680
<v Speaker 1>them out sometimes. So if you've got some real crackers,

0:56:28.000 --> 0:56:30.399
<v Speaker 1>send them in, send us. I would love to hear

0:56:30.440 --> 0:56:32.320
<v Speaker 1>these as well. Yeah, I might have to start compiling

0:56:32.400 --> 0:56:33.520
<v Speaker 1>me another one. Do you have some more?

0:56:33.719 --> 0:56:35.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh? My god, I had so many, but now put

0:56:35.400 --> 0:56:36.719
<v Speaker 2>on the spot, I can't think of.

0:56:36.760 --> 0:56:37.799
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so that was your suck?

0:56:37.800 --> 0:56:38.000
<v Speaker 2>All right?

0:56:38.000 --> 0:56:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Well give me your sweet because that was pretty gross.

0:56:40.000 --> 0:56:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Can I say suck now after that? Because that was

0:56:42.080 --> 0:56:42.880
<v Speaker 1>a pretty gross.

0:56:42.920 --> 0:56:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Fuck?

0:56:43.800 --> 0:56:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Give me your sweet girlfriend? All right?

0:56:45.760 --> 0:56:47.799
<v Speaker 2>My sweet's an easy one. I stayed in bed today

0:56:47.840 --> 0:56:49.799
<v Speaker 2>until about ten thirty am, and I could not tell

0:56:49.800 --> 0:56:52.080
<v Speaker 2>you the last time in my existence. Now that has happened.

0:56:52.120 --> 0:56:54.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to hear this from you. This just me. No,

0:56:55.080 --> 0:56:57.560
<v Speaker 1>this is like you gloating. You can't say to someone

0:56:57.560 --> 0:56:59.400
<v Speaker 1>who has a three month old baby that you stayed

0:56:59.440 --> 0:57:01.200
<v Speaker 1>in bed to t a. I don't think I can

0:57:01.239 --> 0:57:04.399
<v Speaker 1>say anything sides cry. I don't even remember what sleep

0:57:04.480 --> 0:57:04.960
<v Speaker 1>is anymore.

0:57:05.239 --> 0:57:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Would it be better if I said something like I

0:57:07.640 --> 0:57:10.759
<v Speaker 2>went for a walk in silence. That hurts us as much,

0:57:10.800 --> 0:57:11.239
<v Speaker 2>doesn't it?

0:57:11.800 --> 0:57:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, it hurts. I can't say anything to you.

0:57:15.360 --> 0:57:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Just tell me that your nipples are cracked and all

0:57:16.960 --> 0:57:17.720
<v Speaker 1>make me feel better.

0:57:17.800 --> 0:57:22.400
<v Speaker 2>My nipples are amazing, Oh, for God's sake, So I'm going.

0:57:23.440 --> 0:57:26.120
<v Speaker 1>And I don't wet my pants either. All right, Brinnan,

0:57:26.160 --> 0:57:28.160
<v Speaker 1>you're on your own. I've got a few sucks for

0:57:28.200 --> 0:57:29.000
<v Speaker 1>this week, don't I.

0:57:29.120 --> 0:57:29.880
<v Speaker 2>All right, bring him?

0:57:29.920 --> 0:57:32.440
<v Speaker 1>What's your suck? Okay, So my suck for this week

0:57:32.520 --> 0:57:34.720
<v Speaker 1>it's not nothing to do with my nipples or my

0:57:34.880 --> 0:57:37.760
<v Speaker 1>pelic floor, thank you very much. My suck for this

0:57:37.800 --> 0:57:40.760
<v Speaker 1>week is Matt and I have both been really, really

0:57:40.800 --> 0:57:43.960
<v Speaker 1>insanely busy with work and life and everything else, and

0:57:44.040 --> 0:57:47.280
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like that's one area of my life

0:57:47.280 --> 0:57:49.280
<v Speaker 1>that I have not been giving enough attention to, and

0:57:49.320 --> 0:57:50.120
<v Speaker 1>I feel really guilty.

0:57:50.160 --> 0:57:51.680
<v Speaker 2>For that is Matt feeling neglected.

0:57:52.640 --> 0:57:54.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he would ever say that he's feeling neglected,

0:57:54.800 --> 0:57:56.960
<v Speaker 1>but I feel like I've neglected him, and it makes

0:57:56.960 --> 0:58:00.000
<v Speaker 1>me feel bad, makes me feel like I'm a shitty partner,

0:58:00.240 --> 0:58:03.400
<v Speaker 1>which I know I'm not. But the reality is is

0:58:03.440 --> 0:58:07.280
<v Speaker 1>that it's quite difficult sometimes to juggle work and baby

0:58:07.760 --> 0:58:12.240
<v Speaker 1>and h podcasting and relationshiping and all of the inning

0:58:12.520 --> 0:58:14.959
<v Speaker 1>in your life. And I just feel like a little

0:58:14.960 --> 0:58:17.800
<v Speaker 1>bit at the moment that I haven't been giving Matt

0:58:17.880 --> 0:58:20.320
<v Speaker 1>and our relationship the attention that it deserves. And I

0:58:20.320 --> 0:58:22.240
<v Speaker 1>feel guilty for that. And so that is something I

0:58:22.280 --> 0:58:23.760
<v Speaker 1>know that I'm going to spend way more time on

0:58:23.840 --> 0:58:24.200
<v Speaker 1>next week.

0:58:24.200 --> 0:58:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, I feel like now that you've voiced it and

0:58:25.640 --> 0:58:28.120
<v Speaker 2>put it out to Australia, it's also going to make

0:58:28.160 --> 0:58:29.920
<v Speaker 2>you want to work on it.

0:58:30.000 --> 0:58:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I already want to work on it. I just

0:58:31.960 --> 0:58:34.280
<v Speaker 1>was really conscious of it today, like I, you know,

0:58:34.360 --> 0:58:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I've been busy all day and that I came home,

0:58:36.640 --> 0:58:38.560
<v Speaker 1>I just kind of like passed Maley to him. Then

0:58:38.560 --> 0:58:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I ran out the door to come and do this,

0:58:40.240 --> 0:58:42.520
<v Speaker 1>and we've just kind of like had a kiss on

0:58:42.560 --> 0:58:44.520
<v Speaker 1>the doorway on the way out. And it just I

0:58:44.560 --> 0:58:45.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I just really had a bit of a

0:58:45.840 --> 0:58:47.720
<v Speaker 1>reflection in the car on the way here where I thought,

0:58:47.960 --> 0:58:50.120
<v Speaker 1>I miss my partner and I want to spend more

0:58:50.160 --> 0:58:51.840
<v Speaker 1>time with him. You know, you don't get to spend

0:58:51.840 --> 0:58:53.840
<v Speaker 1>as much time with your partner when you've got a baby,

0:58:53.880 --> 0:58:56.680
<v Speaker 1>because it becomes less about the two of you together

0:58:56.720 --> 0:58:58.160
<v Speaker 1>and becomes more about survival.

0:58:58.320 --> 0:59:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, nice, Yeah, So what's your sweet?

0:59:01.200 --> 0:59:03.880
