1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: And Amanda gem Nation from. 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 2: The Daily Os. She is the editor of The Boss 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 2: Lady m gillespie. Hello, Hello, Finally, a lifestyle series created 4 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 2: for the relatable everyday woman with love Megan. As you 5 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 2: guys have discussed, it's been greenlit for a second season, 6 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 2: landed on Netflix last week, made the global Top ten 7 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 2: within days. It shares the Duchess of Sussex tips and 8 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 2: tricks for hosting and everyday living, and frankly, the internet 9 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 2: is having a field day. It's a very Stepford Wife 10 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 2: kind of a thing, very cringe. I hate it, I 11 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 2: love wow. I want to be her. I want to 12 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 2: slap her. She's the most perfect human on earth. She's 13 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 2: here to make us all feel extremely inadequate. And that's 14 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 2: my take. 15 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: Do you get a sense of who she actually is 16 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: or is there a facade? 17 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 2: I think you get a sense of who she actually 18 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 2: is in the sense that she is desperate to be 19 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 2: like she wants to be adored. She wants everyone to 20 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 2: think that she is brilliant and wonderful and capable and talented, 21 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 2: all on her own, without Harry, without the royal family, 22 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 2: without acting. But it's just that kind of desperate need 23 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: to be liked. That makes her so beige, Like she 24 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: has this really careful kind of approach to everything. She 25 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: doesn't really lean into any jokes. It's like she doesn't 26 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: want to offend anyone. But there's no there's no riz, 27 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 2: there's no spark. She wears these impossibly incredible outfits, so 28 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 2: much linen, so much beige, a lot of cream, a 29 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 2: lot of cashmere. And she's cooking food. But you've never 30 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 2: seen someone cook so perfectly. There's no mess, there's no splutter, no. 31 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 1: Apron, no apron. 32 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: Put on a goddamn apron woman, there's no apron. She's 33 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: like Gweneth but many many years later, perfect in every way. 34 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: But she's got bees like the David Beckham Dooco. The 35 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 2: series opens with bees and bee hives. What's with bees? Well, 36 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 2: I bees, do you? 37 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: I've got Australian native bees who just flitter it go 38 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: around my backyard. 39 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,559 Speaker 2: All the most relatable, fabulous people have bees. 40 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: Thank you. 41 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 2: That's what I'm learning. She likes to wear beautiful clothes, 42 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 2: but she's also very relatable with the clothes, which she 43 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: tells us about this concept of how she dresses. It's 44 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: called high low dressing. We've got this grab from her 45 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 2: from her episode with Mindy Kayling, which is the second episode. 46 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 2: Can you tell me about your clothes? 47 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: Yes, I like High Low so. 48 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: Zara? 49 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: What Laura Piana Nate. 50 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 2: Really cute jumper which is supposed to be shocked, So 51 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 2: she shops at Lows. I just heard she shops at 52 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: Low high Lows fleecy Laura Piana is what she said 53 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 2: talking about her T shirt or her jumper or whatever. 54 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: I had not heard of this brand. I looked it up. 55 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 2: A white T shirt from this brand three thousand, one 56 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty six dollars. But she's got the Zara 57 00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 2: pants on? Why I do like us? 58 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: What? All these people come into her kitchen and shocked 59 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: that she's eaten a hamburger, shocked that she might shop 60 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: at Zara. Are we supposed to think that she's like? 61 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: What role is Meghan playing? Is she a royal? Is 62 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: she more eliqe than the. 63 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 2: Rest of us? I think what's funny about this whole 64 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 2: show is that she really is kind of charading as 65 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 2: the perfect princess. She doesn't do anything outrageous, she doesn't 66 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 2: say anything controversial. She is literally like a Stepford wife, 67 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 2: trad wife, perfect person she looks incredible. The food she 68 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: makes looks amazing. She says. One of her favorite things 69 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: to do is to prepare for her guest sweet If 70 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 2: a guest is coming over to stay, she loves to 71 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 2: mix up bath salts. She pops corn from an actual 72 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 2: piece of dried corn. 73 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: But this is a woman who spent a lot of 74 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: her advocacy talking about the rights of women. She's not. 75 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: She's a smart woman who has been quite driven to 76 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: be a philanthropist, to be an advoct Is any of 77 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: that in there? 78 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 2: Not yet? I think given the advocacy, as soon as 79 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 2: I start banging on that, you just go I can. 80 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: But that's what I mean. She's chosen to be antie, 81 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: that she's chosen to be the traadwife. 82 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 2: So who is she. There's a bit of sustainability stuff, 83 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: like with the bees, with the honey, with all of 84 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 2: the homegrown herbs and jams and fruits and all that. 85 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: But at the same time, you know, she's making balloon 86 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 2: arches with plastic balloons. There's a lot of single youth 87 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 2: plastic stuff. So it's this sort of weird line that 88 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 2: she's walking. And I think you're exactly right amount her 89 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 2: she's like not really landed on an identity and is 90 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 2: really trying to kind of feel that out and act 91 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 2: as though or kind of present this front to the 92 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 2: world that's she's just like us, and she's really relatable, 93 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 2: but it's in the least relatable fashion. Even she's so 94 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 2: unrelatable that she makes people like Mindy Kayling, who's you know, 95 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 2: a big time Hollywood star millionaire. She makes Mindy Kayling 96 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 2: look like the everyday person. Mindy Kayling is in disbelief. 97 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 2: She says to her, are you tinker Bell? She can't 98 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: believe how perfect Megan? Why she's really perfect? What do 99 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 2: you want? What do you ladies want from me? What 100 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 2: we want from her? And I do feel bad because 101 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 2: the internet the tabloids were horrible to her and she 102 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: dealt with criticism that she did not deserve, that was 103 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 2: calculated and was unfair. 104 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: And it's brave for her to stick your head up again. Yeah, 105 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: but is this the right vehicle to stick your head up? 106 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: I think she just is so earnest and she doesn't 107 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: have that self awareness that we really want from her. 108 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: No one likes earnest, though I know ernest, no one cares. 109 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: But being glib and making sandwiches. Is that the solution. 110 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 2: I don't know. 111 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: We've already got Martha Stewett. 112 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 2: People get very annoyed when rich people act like they 113 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 2: do it all themselves, Like she's she's incredibly wealthy, and 114 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 2: she's like, oh, I'm going to make my own candle 115 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 2: and I'm going to make these little sandwiches for a 116 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 2: kid's party, And Mindy Kayling's looking at her like, we 117 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 2: have people that we pay for that. Megan, what are 118 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 2: you doing? Why are you putting me through this? It's 119 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 2: not putting pure in my champagne. Just be quiet, like 120 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 2: Kate quiet, to be quiet, ok. 121 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: Now, we don't want it to be quiet, And that's 122 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: some of the criticisms are saying she should be quiet. 123 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: No one's asking her to be quiet. If she's going 124 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: to actually say, be a mouthpiece, what's it for? 125 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. I think she needs to be more representative 126 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 2: of more people rather than this perfect so be a 127 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 2: worthy bore or why worth they have to equal bore? 128 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 2: It just does. I'm sorry, it's not me thatmo'st the rules, 129 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 2: legal purposes, the world we're living in, Baby 130 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: M gollesbi Chigger out of the daily odds,
