Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Fits In with Her with Kate Richie podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Would you like somebody else control your phone? I saw this.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Article I would love to look through your phone.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm not offering you to control my phone, but maybe
in your household. And it does sound when you hear
these stories of oh my partner looks after my phone
and they have my passwords and they're the you know,
the caregiver on it, that just sounds like something you
don't want to be involved in. But I don't know

(00:32):
if you saw this story floating around about Lily Allen
and her husband, David Harbor. His name is. He's an actor.
He was in Stranger Things. YEA, Well she has done anything, yes, yes,
that's right. She did an interview. This is Lily Allen.
I'm talking about her. I absolutely adore and I think

(00:55):
I want to move to England or New York or
wherever she's happens to live at the moment and just
be her friend. You can look after the kids and stuff.
She's done an interview and she has said that she
uses a phone now that is intended for children. It's
called Pinwheel. Apparently the device requires parental control. That parental

(01:15):
control David has, and it seems Lily is in control
of Davids's phone as well, with the same thing, so
it has no browsing capability. Yeah, no social media. You
can still have Uber and Spotify and all of those things.
But she talks about the fact that having a smartphone

(01:38):
it kind of kills the creative side of your brain,
and he feels the same. She's an actress, singer and
he is as well. And the fact that they were
just scrolling mind number only for hours because they just
now have the things that they absolutely need. So it's
not about spye.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
When you find yourself just scrolling that infinite scroll, you've
stopped thinking, Yeah, you're handing yourself over to your phone,
and your brain is actually sort of just well, your.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Brain's waiting for some little spike that it's not in
control of, like, oh, those shoes are nice, who's that person?
They have a new boyfriend, that's interesting.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
And then I then you give yourself excuses for doing
it because I find articles sometimes Twitter is such a
cesspool of hate and crap at the moment, right, But
I also find that I find stories for work, so
then for me, so for me, it then justifies my
reason of being on there now, I've got to do

(02:41):
it for work. No, mate, yeah, you know what, you
could be on there for half an hour scrolling and
not get one story at all. So don't use that
as an excuse.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
You know you don't.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
You're a TikTok NERD.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, I'm listening, mate, you're listening.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
I do have to. I'd like to bring up well one.
I'm trying to get jess Andy Lee's song that he
recorded for I've played this before, mate, I'm wondering if
it's in the system.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
It's called little Things. Does that ring a bell to anyone?
Because I've got little Things Andy Lee chorus which I'm
happy to hit play on. But I've heard this story.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
The story was that there was a bit of a
romance there and then they went their separate ways and
an attempt to rekindle and he wrote some music for her.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
I don't know writing music for anyone can get to
you over the line unless you have you know, Harry Styles.
I'm just saying that.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Has anyone who have written a song for you? No
good question?

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Have you been out with a musician before?

Speaker 1 (04:03):
No?

Speaker 3 (04:04):
No, Jimmy Barnes or Richard Wilde or.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
No. I'm not a big fan of musicians or actors.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Why not because you were?

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Because I kind of him in that game The Brothers.
You know, can we have?

Speaker 3 (04:27):
