.62745098Hey Gab, did you see the TikTok about the girls that wanted to go to Nice France and ended up in Tunisia in Northern Africa? Yes, I saw this and thought, of course, this would only happen to Americans and For those people that are not across what's happened, and this has just been living rent free, this could happen.
2
00:00:24,259.803921569 --> 00:00:29,73.529411765
These girls wanted to go from Rome to France and they missed their flight.
3
00:00:29,426.470588235 --> 00:00:43,250
And when they were at the booking desk trying to rebook, they kept saying to Nice, uh, we want to go to Nice and the easy jet person booked them to East Northern Africa.
4
00:00:43,838.235294118 --> 00:00:45,926.470588235
Do you know what I wonder? And they still did it to themselves.
5
00:00:45,985.294117647 --> 00:00:46,897.058823529
They did to themselves.
6
00:00:46,897.058823529 --> 00:00:55,767.647058824
But I do wonder if they were being really arrogant and not really, you know, you just not taking this from, obviously they didn't check, so obviously they're not paying attention.
7
00:00:55,767.647058824 --> 00:00:59,355.882352941
Like they're not taking accountability for literally their own actions.
8
00:00:59,360.784313725 --> 00:01:04,983.333333333
I, I wonder if that, that Italian a worker behind the desk was like, you know what? Screw this.
9
00:01:05,983.333333333 --> 00:01:06,983.333333333
I'm booking them to Africa.
10
00:01:07,983.333333333 --> 00:01:16,208.823529412
So the girls did not realize until they got on the plane and something triggered and they're wait, where are you guys all going? And they're like, to nice.
11
00:01:16,208.823529412 --> 00:01:18,650
And they're like, yes, we're going to nice.
12
00:01:19,179.411764706 --> 00:01:21,414.705882353
And then they're like, wait, no.
13
00:01:22,326.470588235 --> 00:01:28,591.176470588
And someone eventually in the crowd of passengers that are sitting there laughing at them is like, you're going to Northern Africa.
14
00:01:28,591.176470588 --> 00:01:30,61.764705882
Is that where you wanna go? And they're like.
15
00:01:30,532.352941176 --> 00:01:32,679.411764706
No, we wanna go to France.
16
00:01:33,2.941176471 --> 00:01:38,914.705882353
So they go back up to the top of the plane, and this is where the best thing happens is they're like, we wanna get off the plane.
17
00:01:38,963.725490196 --> 00:01:40,51.96078431
We wanna go to France.
18
00:01:40,140.19607843 --> 00:01:41,993.1372549
We don't wanna go to Northern Africa.
19
00:01:42,287.25490196 --> 00:01:49,434.31372549
And the pilot is like, yes, we're going, you can go via, via Denise to get to France.
20
00:01:49,434.31372549 --> 00:01:50,934.31372549
And they're like, like a stopover.
21
00:01:50,934.31372549 --> 00:01:53,110.78431373
And he is like, yeah, like stopover.
22
00:01:53,110.78431373 --> 00:01:53,846.07843137
How long that point.
23
00:01:53,963.7254902 --> 00:01:55,640.19607843
A couple of hours.
24
00:01:55,757.84313725 --> 00:01:59,934.31372549
Oh, it's not far from, because Rome to Northern Africa, it's like on the border.
25
00:02:00,140.19607843 --> 00:02:01,140.19607843
Yeah, you're right.
26
00:02:01,904.90196078 --> 00:02:04,145.09803922
He would not, he would been like, like a couple buyers.
27
00:02:04,145.09803922 --> 00:02:05,699.01960784
He's like, I, I'm not offloading these girls.
28
00:02:05,699.01960784 --> 00:02:06,993.1372549
They're gonna slow us all down.
29
00:02:07,257.84313725 --> 00:02:21,846.07843137
So they end up in Northern Africa and then they're trying to sort this out 'cause they can't leave the country 'cause they have visas and this, they're trying to explain this to this guy and the guy's like, whoa, what's going on? Eventually they get re-booked and they're outraged when they learn they have to buy new tickets.
30
00:02:21,846.07843137 --> 00:02:26,669.60784314
And everyone on the comments in TikTok are like, so you should, you're an idiot.
31
00:02:26,875.49019608 --> 00:02:30,463.7254902
But even then they keep saying to the, the guy, we want to go Denise.
32
00:02:30,463.7254902 --> 00:02:32,787.25490196
And he is like, well here you are, you're in Denise.
33
00:02:32,934.31372549 --> 00:02:36,257.84313725
Why don't you stop saying that and say we want flights.
34
00:02:37,257.84313725 --> 00:02:39,581.37254902
For, they just kept confusing everyone.
35
00:02:39,610.78431373 --> 00:02:52,532.35294118
Also, one thing that I'm, I know I'm being really pedantic about the whole American thing and sorry for all the, great Americans out there, but what is annoying me as well is, you know, when people just don't bother trying the language.
36
00:02:52,532.35294118 --> 00:02:56,326.47058824
Like you in a country where English is not the first language, give it a go.
37
00:02:56,385.29411765 --> 00:03:01,777.45098039
Or just try, instead of go like sort out my life, I'm going to knees like.
38
00:03:02,424.50980392 --> 00:03:05,659.80392157
Do you separate your words? Do you think they did it? This was like a publicity stunt.
39
00:03:06,287.25490196 --> 00:03:10,287.25490196
Were they aspiring influencers? I don't think so now.
40
00:03:10,551.96078431 --> 00:03:12,787.25490196
So anyway, that happened and it was great.
41
00:03:12,944.11764706 --> 00:03:14,238.23529412
They have made it to Nice though.
42
00:03:14,708.82352941 --> 00:03:16,32.35294118
I hope they're having a great time.
43
00:03:16,164.70588235 --> 00:03:16,282.35294118
Hmm.
44
00:03:18,243.37254902 --> 00:03:28,341.41176471
Coming up this week on spin Cycle, we're talking millennial dads rewriting fatherhood, an orca story that has us genuinely speechless and why bosses snooping through your webcam.
45
00:03:28,341.41176471 --> 00:03:30,959.05882353
And Mike isn't just creepy, it's actually illegal.
46
00:03:31,253.17647059 --> 00:03:34,606.11764706
Plus, Vogue has a new editor, and yes, she's a Nepo baby.
47
00:03:34,841.41176471 --> 00:03:41,988.47058824
And on top of that, we're discussing the Netflix doc unknown number, and of course the Erin Patterson Mushroom trial finale.
48
00:03:42,459.05882353 --> 00:03:44,606.11764706
The sentencing is in as of today.
49
00:03:45,120.82352941 --> 00:03:45,767.88235294
Big week Gab.
50
00:03:45,797.29411765 --> 00:03:46,326.70588235
Let's spin.
51
00:03:46,356.11764706 --> 00:03:47,150.23529412
Let's go.
52
00:04:02,550.23529412 --> 00:04:08,520.23529412
Welcome to Spin Cycle, where we dig into the stories shaping the world and take a closer look at the patterns, power plays.
53
00:04:08,520.23529412 --> 00:04:16,230.23529412
And yes, the biases hiding in plain sight where Gab and Claire, two friends with MBAs, A lot of opinions and a healthy amount of skepticism.
54
00:04:16,530.23529412 --> 00:04:19,530.23529412
We're here to help you think twice and maybe have a few laughs.
55
00:04:19,830.23529412 --> 00:04:20,605.23529412
Let's get spinning.
56
00:04:21,425.7454982 --> 00:04:29,72.80432173
So Gab, what's top of mind for you this week? Really quickly, I actually wanted to flag, and I'm not gonna spoil it for you, Claire.
57
00:04:29,190.45138055 --> 00:04:29,572.80432173
Mm.
58
00:04:29,719.86314526 --> 00:04:31,837.51020408
But I have been watching the summer.
59
00:04:31,837.51020408 --> 00:04:33,455.15726291
I turn pretty Oh.
60
00:04:33,719.86314526 --> 00:04:37,925.7454982
And mind you, for everyone listening, no, I haven't finished, I've still got two episodes left.
61
00:04:37,955.15726291 --> 00:04:39,425.7454982
I'm intentionally leaving it.
62
00:04:39,430.64745898 --> 00:04:39,558.09843938
Mm-hmm.
63
00:04:39,656.13765506 --> 00:04:42,778.68667467
And I'm gonna wait, I think until next weekend and enjoy that.
64
00:04:43,131.62785114 --> 00:04:45,866.92196879
But I just, I'm starting to get.
65
00:04:46,219.86314526 --> 00:04:51,455.15726291
I'm starting to get annoyed about how this new generation of young people are trying to take our songs.
66
00:04:51,700.25530212 --> 00:04:56,13.98079232
The show has been spoiled for me because I've seen a few clips on TikTok.
67
00:04:56,92.41216487 --> 00:05:01,121.82392957
And you know the song Kissing You by Desiree? Yes.
68
00:05:01,180.64745898 --> 00:05:05,474.76510604
Which, what film do you know that song from? Oh, you gonna ask, I'm putting you on the spot.
69
00:05:05,533.58863545 --> 00:05:05,651.23569428
Yeah.
70
00:05:05,651.23569428 --> 00:05:05,886.52981192
Okay.
71
00:05:06,636.52981192 --> 00:05:12,107.11804722
For the people out there who have seen the, I think it's 1998.
72
00:05:12,313.00040016 --> 00:05:14,77.70628251
Is it Romeo? Romeo and Juliet? Yes.
73
00:05:14,77.70628251 --> 00:05:14,224.76510604
Okay.
74
00:05:14,224.76510604 --> 00:05:15,18.8827531
I've got it at the end.
75
00:05:15,18.8827531 --> 00:05:15,489.4709884
Yes.
76
00:05:15,636.52981192 --> 00:05:16,165.94157663
Um, no, no, no.
77
00:05:16,165.94157663 --> 00:05:17,165.94157663
It's not at the end.
78
00:05:17,430.64745898 --> 00:05:19,842.41216487
It is when they're, it's actually at the start.
79
00:05:19,842.41216487 --> 00:05:21,518.8827531
It's at the party and they're looking through.
80
00:05:21,886.52981192 --> 00:05:23,288.49059624
The no, but I know the song though.
81
00:05:23,288.49059624 --> 00:05:25,23.78471389
Course I know, I know exactly what you're talking about.
82
00:05:25,23.78471389 --> 00:05:25,156.13765506
Of course.
83
00:05:25,156.13765506 --> 00:05:25,273.78471389
Yeah.
84
00:05:25,278.68667467 --> 00:05:25,347.31412565
Course.
85
00:05:25,347.31412565 --> 00:05:29,141.43177271
But the, um, the Fish Tank, when he sees CL Claire Dane for the first time.
86
00:05:29,641.43177271 --> 00:05:30,567.90236094
Yes, yes, exactly right.
87
00:05:30,567.90236094 --> 00:05:31,156.13765506
Exactly what you're talking about.
88
00:05:31,161.03961585 --> 00:05:31,494.37294918
Exactly.
89
00:05:31,494.37294918 --> 00:05:31,729.66706683
Yeah.
90
00:05:31,788.49059624 --> 00:05:33,670.84353742
And you think it's from that? No, no, no.
91
00:05:33,994.37294918 --> 00:05:35,788.49059624
The Somewhere in Turn Pretty has taken that song.
92
00:05:36,700.25530212 --> 00:05:39,288.49059624
They've taken it for like their romantic song.
93
00:05:39,317.90236094 --> 00:05:42,759.07883153
It's like when Stranger Things ruin, Kate Bush's running up that hill.
94
00:05:43,670.84353742 --> 00:05:44,523.78471389
Yeah.
95
00:05:44,670.84353742 --> 00:05:45,82.6082433
Mm.
96
00:05:45,170.84353742 --> 00:05:46,842.41216487
And it's, and it's like their song now.
97
00:05:46,842.41216487 --> 00:05:48,724.76510604
And I'm like, but they don't understand the history of that song.
98
00:05:48,724.76510604 --> 00:05:49,582.6082433
They don't understand the context.
99
00:05:49,582.6082433 --> 00:05:50,53.19647859
They don't respect it.
100
00:05:50,53.19647859 --> 00:05:51,847.31412565
Anyway, that's very top of mind for me.
101
00:05:51,896.33373349 --> 00:05:56,249.27490996
And the fact that they have so many top songs, I don't know.
102
00:05:56,308.09843938 --> 00:05:58,513.98079232
They're spending so much money on their music budget.
103
00:05:59,102.21608643 --> 00:06:00,43.39255702
It's baffling me.
104
00:06:00,131.62785114 --> 00:06:01,43.39255702
Mm.
105
00:06:01,925.7454982 --> 00:06:07,308.09843938
Anyway, what's top of mind for you? Top of mind for me this week is I have been watching unknown number on Netflix.
106
00:06:07,308.09843938 --> 00:06:07,778.68667467
Yes.
107
00:06:07,778.68667467 --> 00:06:09,749.27490996
Have you seen it? Yes, I have.
108
00:06:10,43.39255702 --> 00:06:11,543.39255702
We have to talk about this.
109
00:06:11,690.45138055 --> 00:06:12,161.03961585
Yes.
110
00:06:12,945.35334134 --> 00:06:19,915.94157663
So unknown number is a documentary that's just launched on Netflix and it's like catfish on steroids.
111
00:06:19,915.94157663 --> 00:06:23,811.03961585
But with the FBI, it starts in this tiny town in Michigan.
112
00:06:23,840.45138055 --> 00:06:27,75.7454982
Beale City population, no one, but there is these two kids.
113
00:06:27,443.39255702 --> 00:06:30,531.62785114
Lauren and Owen, they're 13 and they are in love.
114
00:06:30,531.62785114 --> 00:06:31,502.21608643
What the time? They're in love.
115
00:06:31,502.21608643 --> 00:06:34,531.62785114
So cringe isn't it? Very intense relationship with 13 year olds.
116
00:06:34,649.27490996 --> 00:06:38,649.27490996
But also side note, their parents were so proud of it and that made me go weird.
117
00:06:38,649.27490996 --> 00:06:38,796.33373349
Yeah.
118
00:06:39,31.62785114 --> 00:06:40,149.27490996
So uncomfortable.
119
00:06:40,913.98079232 --> 00:06:45,90.45138055
Leoni definitely wasn't a pro me dating at 13, but I was also a loser when I was 13.
120
00:06:45,237.51020408 --> 00:06:48,355.15726291
No, I would, I would not be allowed to date at 13.
121
00:06:48,649.27490996 --> 00:06:48,766.92196879
Mm.
122
00:06:48,855.15726291 --> 00:06:49,531.62785114
Oh my god.
123
00:06:49,561.03961585 --> 00:06:51,855.15726291
I was, I I was into like the saddle club and horses.
124
00:06:51,943.39255702 --> 00:06:52,119.86314526
Yeah.
125
00:06:52,119.86314526 --> 00:06:56,384.56902761
So was I, I Who, which, which Saddle Club member were you? Lisa, it's Carol.
126
00:06:56,678.68667467 --> 00:06:56,943.39255702
Mm.
127
00:06:57,31.62785114 --> 00:06:57,413.98079232
There you go.
128
00:06:58,413.98079232 --> 00:07:03,149.27490996
Out of nowhere, these two 13 year olds start getting these texts and they're from an enormous number.
129
00:07:03,208.09843938 --> 00:07:05,531.62785114
And I'm not talking one or two dodgy dms.
130
00:07:05,913.98079232 --> 00:07:10,913.98079232
They're getting like 50 texts a day every day for over a year, and it's pure abuse stuff.
131
00:07:10,963.00040016 --> 00:07:13,933.58863545
No one wants your anorexic flat ass, kill yourself.
132
00:07:13,933.58863545 --> 00:07:17,80.64745898
His life would be better without you fully evil.
133
00:07:17,168.8827531 --> 00:07:17,933.58863545
Put 13-year-old.
134
00:07:18,507.11804722 --> 00:07:20,889.4709884
It's really, really negligent.
135
00:07:20,889.4709884 --> 00:07:25,183.58863545
Like a 13-year-old is so vulnerable at that point in their life.
136
00:07:25,183.58863545 --> 00:07:29,7.11804722
It, it takes a real sicko to do that a hundred percent.
137
00:07:29,536.52981192 --> 00:07:31,65.94157663
And it just keeps spreading.
138
00:07:31,95.35334134 --> 00:07:37,154.17687075
It's not just these two kids, it's now targeting many of the students with the most vile things.
139
00:07:37,477.70628251 --> 00:07:38,713.00040016
The whole school's freaking out.
140
00:07:38,713.00040016 --> 00:07:45,364.96118447
The teachers are involved, the parents are freaking out, and may I add gab? These collective parents are just hopeless through this whole thing.
141
00:07:46,7.11804722 --> 00:07:46,477.70628251
They are.
142
00:07:46,507.11804722 --> 00:07:47,977.70628251
They don't take away the phones.
143
00:07:48,213.00040016 --> 00:07:55,448.29451781
They go and they like to make a fuss at the school, but they really did nothing to actually protect kids, but they were relishing in the drama, like they loved it.
144
00:07:55,595.35334134 --> 00:07:58,918.8827531
If that was my parents, that a hundred percent would take my phone off me.
145
00:07:59,389.4709884 --> 00:08:02,360.05922369
They'd have been like, you can't get no texts if you hate got no phone.
146
00:08:02,360.05922369 --> 00:08:05,565.94157663
I think there's also the other element of my parents wouldn't want other people to know.
147
00:08:05,644.37294918 --> 00:08:08,56.13765506
These women are making a huge fuss.
148
00:08:08,56.13765506 --> 00:08:10,232.6082433
They're running into the school, they're screaming at the principal.
149
00:08:10,232.6082433 --> 00:08:12,320.84353742
They're making a real ordeal out of it.
150
00:08:12,717.90236094 --> 00:08:15,159.07883153
My mom would be like, oh, keep it under wraps.
151
00:08:15,159.07883153 --> 00:08:16,482.6082433
You know, we'll have these private conversations.
152
00:08:16,580.64745898 --> 00:08:17,845.35334134
They wouldn't want the chatter.
153
00:08:17,874.76510604 --> 00:08:19,904.17687075
Your mom would've taken your phone off you? Yeah.
154
00:08:20,315.94157663 --> 00:08:20,492.41216487
Oh yeah.
155
00:08:20,507.11804722 --> 00:08:21,213.00040016
I might not phone.
156
00:08:21,213.00040016 --> 00:08:22,963.00040016
I go back to my point, you ain't get no text.
157
00:08:22,963.00040016 --> 00:08:23,992.41216487
You've got no phone.
158
00:08:24,21.82392957 --> 00:08:24,463.00040016
Correct.
159
00:08:24,512.020008 --> 00:08:27,717.90236094
So absolutely ridiculous that we get to this point.
160
00:08:28,617.90236094 --> 00:08:37,382.6082433
The cops get involved and it just keeps escalating and escalating and eventually the FBI's brought in and they're like, let's shut this circus down.
161
00:08:38,282.6082433 --> 00:08:39,988.49059624
They get all the data.
162
00:08:40,47.31412565 --> 00:08:52,547.31412565
They look at where the IP numbers of the phones are coming, of the text messages are coming from, and they find that there is the phone number from the anonymous messages and the phone number of another person they match.
163
00:08:52,841.43177271 --> 00:08:55,929.66706683
And that turns out to be Lauren.
164
00:08:55,959.07883153 --> 00:08:57,370.84353742
The 13 year old's own mother.
165
00:08:57,723.78471389 --> 00:09:01,459.07883153
Her mother was sending her for, mind you, years.
166
00:09:02,414.96118447 --> 00:09:04,767.90236094
Horrendous abusive messages.
167
00:09:04,919.86314526 --> 00:09:09,944.37294918
Sexually explicit, completely disgusting, absolutely foul.
168
00:09:09,944.37294918 --> 00:09:10,3.19647859
Ugh.
169
00:09:11,3.19647859 --> 00:09:12,414.96118447
So it's the own mother.
170
00:09:12,493.39255702 --> 00:09:16,228.68667467
And her husband's is there and he's just, he's shocked.
171
00:09:16,405.15726291 --> 00:09:21,375.7454982
I loved his reaction because I saw when they came in, I'm like, what's happening? I'm waiting for her reaction.
172
00:09:21,375.7454982 --> 00:09:21,463.98079232
Mm-hmm.
173
00:09:21,699.27490996 --> 00:09:25,934.56902761
She seems fine, weirdly, but the husband, that's what I need.
174
00:09:25,934.56902761 --> 00:09:27,846.33373349
I needed one parent to do something.
175
00:09:27,934.56902761 --> 00:09:28,316.92196879
Yes.
176
00:09:28,316.92196879 --> 00:09:29,111.03961585
They did nothing.
177
00:09:29,111.03961585 --> 00:09:29,434.56902761
Yeah.
178
00:09:30,424.76510604 --> 00:09:31,537.51020408
The FBI rocks up.
179
00:09:31,537.51020408 --> 00:09:37,655.15726291
They charge her and she pleads guilty to two counts of stalking a minor she's sentenced to between 19 months and five years.
180
00:09:37,655.15726291 --> 00:09:38,684.56902761
And that's, it.
181
00:09:38,684.56902761 --> 00:09:39,625.7454982
Spends a year in prison.
182
00:09:39,684.56902761 --> 00:09:40,66.92196879
Okay.
183
00:09:40,449.27490996 --> 00:09:48,797.31412565
And during that year, she spends a lot of it like talking to her daughter every day and stalkers, she's now on parole while on earth.
184
00:09:48,831.62785114 --> 00:09:49,743.39255702
She did this documentary.
185
00:09:49,743.39255702 --> 00:09:51,302.21608643
Gab is absolutely beyond me.
186
00:09:51,419.86314526 --> 00:09:52,331.62785114
Absolutely bizarre.
187
00:09:52,449.27490996 --> 00:09:54,400.25530212
But there's no remorse either.
188
00:09:54,459.07883153 --> 00:09:55,17.90236094
No, she.
189
00:09:55,297.31412565 --> 00:09:58,3.19647859
Totally minimizes her horrific behavior.
190
00:09:58,179.66706683 --> 00:09:58,503.19647859
Yeah.
191
00:09:59,13.00040016 --> 00:10:01,483.58863545
If you haven't watched unknown number, highly recommend it.
192
00:10:01,513.00040016 --> 00:10:03,365.94157663
We've, and mind you, we've spoiled it, but it's pretty obvi.
193
00:10:03,513.00040016 --> 00:10:10,218.8827531
Like I, I've at the start, you know, straight away you look at those parents and go, then there's not much happening in their lives.
194
00:10:10,218.8827531 --> 00:10:11,660.05922369
Small town, bit of drama.
195
00:10:11,689.4709884 --> 00:10:13,924.76510604
It's probably the biggest thing that ever happened in Bill, let's be honest.
196
00:10:14,101.23569428 --> 00:10:16,336.52981192
And probably the biggest thing that ever will happen in Bill.
197
00:10:16,336.52981192 --> 00:10:17,42.41216487
Absolutely.
198
00:10:19,361.64745835 --> 00:10:27,281.64745835
After the last sip of coffee on a Saturday afternoon, three people dead.
199
00:10:27,881.64745835 --> 00:10:32,111.64745835
One more clinging to life from the fatal mushrooms.
200
00:10:32,591.64745835 --> 00:10:40,146.64745835
At the beef Wellington Mu, we bring you the death diaries.
201
00:10:44,447.94157663 --> 00:10:45,889.11804722
Ah, that was the last time I got to play it.
202
00:10:45,947.94157663 --> 00:10:47,124.41216487
Oh, I love that song.
203
00:10:47,242.05922369 --> 00:10:47,418.52981192
Yes.
204
00:10:48,281.27490996 --> 00:10:51,45.98079232
The mushroom murder saga is over legally, at least.
205
00:10:51,75.39255702 --> 00:10:58,75.39255702
Erin Patterson has been sentenced in the Supreme Court of Victoria Life, imprisonment for the murders of her relatives.
206
00:10:58,75.39255702 --> 00:11:06,840.09843938
Attending a lunch 25 years for the attempted murder of Ian Wilkinson and Justice be has set a non-pro period of 33 years translation.
207
00:11:07,104.80432173 --> 00:11:10,310.68667467
Erin will be 82 before she can even ask to get out.
208
00:11:10,663.62785114 --> 00:11:13,781.27490996
And honestly, I thought she'd cop closer to 38 years.
209
00:11:13,781.27490996 --> 00:11:14,516.56902761
But hey, what.
210
00:11:15,163.62785114 --> 00:11:17,457.7454982
Five years between friends or you know, victims.
211
00:11:17,634.21608643 --> 00:11:18,193.03961585
Well, it's nothing.
212
00:11:18,193.03961585 --> 00:11:19,663.62785114
I mean, 82 life's over.
213
00:11:19,702.84353742 --> 00:11:20,555.78471389
It's all done.
214
00:11:20,585.19647859 --> 00:11:21,114.6082433
She's done.
215
00:11:21,291.07883153 --> 00:11:21,555.78471389
Yeah.
216
00:11:21,761.66706683 --> 00:11:25,467.54941977
I'm just curious, will the kids wanna stay in contact with her? I reckon so.
217
00:11:25,943.03961585 --> 00:11:26,227.35334134
Yeah.
218
00:11:26,227.35334134 --> 00:11:29,242.05922369
Do you think? Yeah, I reckon she'll keep in contact with them.
219
00:11:29,448.13765506 --> 00:11:31,730.8827531
Fascinating And justice spiel.
220
00:11:31,828.92196879 --> 00:11:35,108.33373349
Will, when he came out right? He didn't really mince the words.
221
00:11:35,196.56902761 --> 00:11:42,255.39255702
He was pretty blunt and said the deliberate administration of the poisonous mushrooms was an act of calculated wickedness.
222
00:11:42,696.56902761 --> 00:11:48,431.86314526
I, I feel like everything I've heard from today is really not embellished.
223
00:11:48,431.86314526 --> 00:11:49,402.45138055
Just here's the facts.
224
00:11:49,402.45138055 --> 00:11:49,873.03961585
Here it is.
225
00:11:49,873.03961585 --> 00:11:50,873.03961585
Everyone needs to know.
226
00:11:51,873.03961585 --> 00:11:53,990.68667467
He basically called her the wicked witch of the suburbs.
227
00:11:54,108.33373349 --> 00:11:54,373.03961585
Yeah.
228
00:11:55,373.03961585 --> 00:11:59,471.07883153
Annie also hit on her on the lies, your version of events was inconsistent.
229
00:11:59,471.07883153 --> 00:12:01,471.07883153
It was self-serving and it was not critical.
230
00:12:01,912.25530212 --> 00:12:10,441.66706683
And that's his way of saying, Erin, we've all seen the videos and nothing you did or said made sense.
231
00:12:10,779.90236094 --> 00:12:11,44.6082433
No.
232
00:12:11,44.6082433 --> 00:12:12,603.43177271
Everything made it worse, really.
233
00:12:12,721.07883153 --> 00:12:16,368.13765506
And when it came to remorse, what did you think happened? Nothing.
234
00:12:16,446.56902761 --> 00:12:25,711.27490996
Erin, as we have seen throughout her entire case, was just that same energy, that deadpan stone face like she's auditioning for a horror film.
235
00:12:25,975.98079232 --> 00:12:31,858.33373349
And one journalist swore that she stared down the press for a good 20 seconds.
236
00:12:32,152.45138055 --> 00:12:33,917.15726291
On the way out that actually happened.
237
00:12:33,917.15726291 --> 00:12:36,387.7454982
They said that she was on her way to the cells.
238
00:12:36,387.7454982 --> 00:12:39,770.09843938
She stopped, she'd stared at the press pack and they were just sitting there.
239
00:12:39,770.09843938 --> 00:12:44,417.15726291
They've got no phones, no cameras because you're allowed, they weren't allowed to like take pictures of them, just the memory.
240
00:12:44,593.62785114 --> 00:12:47,711.27490996
And she just stopped and stared at them for 20 seconds and then kept moving.
241
00:12:47,946.56902761 --> 00:12:49,270.09843938
There's something like the heebie Jesus.
242
00:12:49,270.09843938 --> 00:12:51,593.62785114
It's absolutely terrifying.
243
00:12:51,598.52981192 --> 00:12:51,804.41216487
Ugh.
244
00:12:52,704.41216487 --> 00:12:53,27.94157663
Gab.
245
00:12:53,27.94157663 --> 00:12:55,57.35334134
I was actually on the ground in Corum borough today.
246
00:12:55,116.17687075 --> 00:12:56,233.82392957
Yes, you were.
247
00:12:56,263.23569428 --> 00:12:57,204.41216487
By coincidence.
248
00:12:57,204.41216487 --> 00:12:58,322.05922369
But I do love that.
249
00:12:58,322.05922369 --> 00:13:01,939.70628251
And what was the chatter? What was the happenings in Corum Borough? Oh, absolutely nothing.
250
00:13:01,939.70628251 --> 00:13:02,351.4709884
It was dead.
251
00:13:02,616.17687075 --> 00:13:03,910.29451781
Oh, it's a shame actually.
252
00:13:04,175.00040016 --> 00:13:04,469.11804722
Yeah.
253
00:13:04,469.11804722 --> 00:13:07,263.23569428
I was hoping I might've seen like one Channel seven like newsletter.
254
00:13:07,380.8827531 --> 00:13:07,498.52981192
Yeah.
255
00:13:07,498.52981192 --> 00:13:07,851.4709884
Nothing.
256
00:13:07,910.29451781 --> 00:13:14,645.58863545
She was being sentenced though in Supreme Court and I think like there was a lot in Karin Borough and Lee and Gutha when she was actually found guilty, but.
257
00:13:14,998.52981192 --> 00:13:15,851.4709884
For today? Nothing.
258
00:13:15,880.8827531 --> 00:13:16,645.58863545
Nothing.
259
00:13:16,998.52981192 --> 00:13:25,175.00040016
And then what about Ian Wilkinson? He gave a short speech outside of court, and I think he's literally the nicest person in Australia.
260
00:13:25,351.4709884 --> 00:13:26,86.76510604
Comes outta court.
261
00:13:26,116.17687075 --> 00:13:27,57.35334134
Thanks the community.
262
00:13:27,86.76510604 --> 00:13:27,822.05922369
Thanks, the police.
263
00:13:27,822.05922369 --> 00:13:28,57.35334134
Thanks.
264
00:13:28,57.35334134 --> 00:13:31,322.05922369
The courts says he hopes everyone can move forward with forgiveness.
265
00:13:31,586.76510604 --> 00:13:34,969.11804722
He forgave Aaron during his victim impact statements.
266
00:13:35,57.35334134 --> 00:13:41,792.64745898
He reflected on the beautiful lives of his wife, Heather, and his dear friends Gail And.
267
00:13:42,302.45138055 --> 00:13:44,420.09843938
He really took the high road, didn't he? I mean, I did it.
268
00:13:44,420.09843938 --> 00:13:45,331.86314526
I mean, he's religious.
269
00:13:45,331.86314526 --> 00:13:48,625.98079232
I expected that, but honestly, so admirable.
270
00:13:48,625.98079232 --> 00:13:49,302.45138055
He's, you are right.
271
00:13:49,302.45138055 --> 00:13:50,37.7454982
He's lost his wife.
272
00:13:50,37.7454982 --> 00:13:50,567.15726291
He's lost.
273
00:13:50,802.45138055 --> 00:13:51,508.33373349
Sorry, Donald.
274
00:13:51,684.80432173 --> 00:13:52,8.33373349
Sorry.
275
00:13:52,37.7454982 --> 00:13:53,96.56902761
Family, dear friends.
276
00:13:53,96.56902761 --> 00:13:53,743.62785114
Gail and Donald.
277
00:13:53,861.27490996 --> 00:13:55,96.56902761
Yes, exactly.
278
00:13:55,508.33373349 --> 00:14:01,763.23569428
Wait, wasn't it friend? They were kind of relatives, weren't they? Gail was the sister, his wife's sister.
279
00:14:02,322.05922369 --> 00:14:02,851.4709884
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
280
00:14:02,851.4709884 --> 00:14:02,885.78471389
Yeah.
281
00:14:03,885.78471389 --> 00:14:08,488.72589036
The living definition of turning the other cheek while Erin is just working on a villain, a stare.
282
00:14:08,988.72589036 --> 00:14:12,329.90236094
Gosh, this has a very interesting question, gab.
283
00:14:12,682.84353741 --> 00:14:12,976.96118447
Yeah.
284
00:14:12,976.96118447 --> 00:14:17,937.7454982
What would you do with your 33 years inside Finally lose those kgs.
285
00:14:18,114.21608643 --> 00:14:20,614.21608643
No, but like honestly, I think about this often.
286
00:14:20,790.68667467 --> 00:14:25,864.21608643
If someone else was controlling what I ate, my routine, my.
287
00:14:26,349.51020408 --> 00:14:28,555.39255702
Fitness, health, like everything.
288
00:14:28,820.09843938 --> 00:14:31,614.21608643
I think I'd be in like a prime way.
289
00:14:31,643.62785114 --> 00:14:34,349.51020408
I think I'd be ripped, I think I'd be healthy.
290
00:14:34,712.25530212 --> 00:14:35,624.020008
I've seen Shaw Shank.
291
00:14:35,624.020008 --> 00:14:37,918.13765506
I'm gonna get, I'm going to go to the library.
292
00:14:37,918.13765506 --> 00:14:41,94.6082433
I'm gonna learn, I'm going to become a psychologist.
293
00:14:41,212.25530212 --> 00:14:41,300.49059624
Mm-hmm.
294
00:14:41,565.19647859 --> 00:14:43,918.13765506
You know, all the facilities I will be using.
295
00:14:43,947.54941977 --> 00:14:47,212.25530212
So you are gonna be all about self-improvement and Totally.
296
00:14:47,300.49059624 --> 00:14:47,359.31412565
Okay.
297
00:14:47,359.31412565 --> 00:14:48,594.6082433
You've gotta make the most out of it.
298
00:14:48,594.6082433 --> 00:14:49,6.37294918
Right.
299
00:14:49,290.68667467 --> 00:14:54,202.45138055
While I agree with you, like I would get about eight PhDs and like really maximize the free education.
300
00:14:54,261.27490996 --> 00:14:54,790.68667467
Yes.
301
00:14:54,878.92196879 --> 00:14:59,967.1572629
I would just live in the fact that I'm now gonna be wearing tracksuit pants for the rest of my life.
302
00:15:00,673.03961585 --> 00:15:02,261.27490996
I'm in all women's prison.
303
00:15:02,584.80432173 --> 00:15:04,320.09843938
I don't really care about my appearance.
304
00:15:04,555.39255702 --> 00:15:11,290.68667467
I looked it up and Erin is able to put a hundred dollars of commissary, which is like money to spend on like Tuck shop.
305
00:15:11,437.7454982 --> 00:15:11,790.68667467
Yes.
306
00:15:11,839.70628251 --> 00:15:15,780.8827531
I would just make sure that I had a way of making sure that I had that a hundred dollars coming in every week.
307
00:15:15,780.8827531 --> 00:15:17,663.23569428
How much is that for 30? I mean, let's do the math.
308
00:15:17,957.35334134 --> 00:15:18,780.8827531
A hundred bucks a week.
309
00:15:18,780.8827531 --> 00:15:26,222.05922369
How much money does she need in savings for this? So Erin, but 33 years times 52 times a hundred.
310
00:15:26,222.05922369 --> 00:15:28,280.8827531
A hundred, she's gonna need 170.
311
00:15:28,280.8827531 --> 00:15:29,869.11804722
1,600.
312
00:15:29,874.020008 --> 00:15:31,222.05922369
And I say, so she need her.
313
00:15:31,222.05922369 --> 00:15:32,751.4709884
She can get compounding interest on that.
314
00:15:32,751.4709884 --> 00:15:36,663.23569428
So let's say she's gonna need the errand to have a cash flow.
315
00:15:36,692.64745898 --> 00:15:36,810.29451781
Yes.
316
00:15:36,810.29451781 --> 00:15:37,927.94157663
To support her books.
317
00:15:38,104.41216487 --> 00:15:38,795.58863545
150 grand.
318
00:15:39,413.23569428 --> 00:15:43,295.58863545
150 grand so she can have, you know, her biscuits with her TV every day.
319
00:15:43,589.70628251 --> 00:15:48,972.05922369
If I was gonna prison for the rest of my life, I would exist on Coke, zero shortbread creams.
320
00:15:48,972.05922369 --> 00:15:49,736.76510604
Oh my god.
321
00:15:49,736.76510604 --> 00:15:50,653.43177271
I love the shortbread cream.
322
00:15:50,673.03961585 --> 00:15:53,60.29451781
And they are the most elite aren't biscuits.
323
00:15:53,60.29451781 --> 00:15:53,869.11804722
Yeah, theyre so under, under.
324
00:15:54,89.70628251 --> 00:15:59,972.05922369
I did actually check though, 'cause when I checked how much she could put on her books, I also looked at like the little ordering form and I definitely had those.
325
00:16:00,545.58863545 --> 00:16:02,192.64745898
You could get the, you could fit the variety pack.
326
00:16:02,192.64745898 --> 00:16:03,839.70628251
Well, like, like a little lunchbox.
327
00:16:03,869.11804722 --> 00:16:05,16.17687075
Like you order No, it's a touch shop.
328
00:16:05,16.17687075 --> 00:16:08,75.00040016
You can just, no, you can just order like junk food.
329
00:16:08,163.23569428 --> 00:16:09,251.4709884
Oh my goodness.
330
00:16:09,545.58863545 --> 00:16:10,339.70628251
Do they, okay.
331
00:16:10,604.41216487 --> 00:16:11,45.58863545
I'm guessing.
332
00:16:11,45.58863545 --> 00:16:15,898.52981192
No, but do they have access to some like internet or Their computers are just completely intranet.
333
00:16:16,133.82392957 --> 00:16:17,192.64745898
It's like intranet.
334
00:16:17,222.05922369 --> 00:16:17,369.11804722
Yeah.
335
00:16:17,369.11804722 --> 00:16:18,310.29451781
The computers.
336
00:16:18,555.39255702 --> 00:16:21,614.21608643
But, and they can watch the tv, but they don't get internet or anything like that.
337
00:16:21,614.21608643 --> 00:16:21,624.020008
Yeah.
338
00:16:21,624.020008 --> 00:16:23,197.54941977
What if they got Netflix? I'm so curious.
339
00:16:24,97.54941977 --> 00:16:24,921.07883153
We should go for a visit.
340
00:16:25,921.07883153 --> 00:16:32,332.84353741
So Erin is now in good company with some other women, high profile murderers.
341
00:16:33,9.31412565 --> 00:16:38,274.020008
Many people thought that Erin was gonna get a non-pro period, so she'd be effectively in jail, rest of her life, throw away the key.
342
00:16:38,421.07883153 --> 00:16:40,509.3141256
She got a non-pro period of 33 years.
343
00:16:40,862.2553021 --> 00:16:44,244.6082433
The only other woman who got a non parole period is Catherine Knight.
344
00:16:44,538.7258904 --> 00:16:48,597.5494198
She was the woman who skinned her partner, cooked him in a stew, and served it to her children.
345
00:16:48,950.4905962 --> 00:16:49,538.7258904
Wow.
346
00:16:50,538.7258904 --> 00:16:57,274.020008
Is Erin killing three other people and nearly two others worse than what Catherine Knight did? Okay.
347
00:16:57,891.6670668 --> 00:17:17,626.9611845
Now that you say it that way, is it bad that I still see this woman who skins someone and fed it to a child as more evil than someone feeding someone mushrooms like it? If weirdly it feels like, is it the grotesque factor? I think it's like, there's not that, it's not deliberate, but you're kind of that step away.
348
00:17:17,897.3533413 --> 00:17:22,926.765106
It's like, I don't know, I put water on the the ground so someone would sleep on it.
349
00:17:22,985.5886355 --> 00:17:24,338.5298119
It's like it's not very direct.
350
00:17:24,485.5886355 --> 00:17:25,936.5690276
Yes, yes, yes.
351
00:17:26,367.9415766 --> 00:17:30,127.7454982
I thought her sentence was gonna be higher to teach other people a lesson.
352
00:17:30,309.1180472 --> 00:17:31,338.5298119
Like that rather in that direct Oh yeah.
353
00:17:31,451.27491 --> 00:17:32,304.2160864
Send a signal.
354
00:17:32,480.6866747 --> 00:17:33,833.6278511
Yeah, send a signal that you can't.
355
00:17:34,186.5690276 --> 00:17:36,598.3337335
Poison people and think you're gonna get away with it.
356
00:17:36,598.3337335 --> 00:17:38,98.3337335
Not that she did get away with it, to be honest.
357
00:17:38,98.3337335 --> 00:17:45,127.7454982
They probably should have because the, a matter of awareness that's raised on how accessible these poisonous mushrooms are is actually probably concerning.
358
00:17:45,215.9807923 --> 00:17:45,539.5102041
Yeah.
359
00:17:45,980.6866747 --> 00:17:49,392.4513806
I also think that Justice Bial gave her non-pro period.
360
00:17:49,421.8631453 --> 00:17:53,539.5102041
'cause he wanted to avoid an appeal to say that it was grossly unfair.
361
00:17:54,98.3337335 --> 00:17:55,186.5690276
And I think he's done with this.
362
00:17:55,186.5690276 --> 00:17:56,921.8631453
He's like, I'm doing open justice.
363
00:17:56,921.8631453 --> 00:18:00,568.9219688
So one of the key things with the sentencing is that it was.
364
00:18:01,260.0984394 --> 00:18:04,760.0984394
Recorded and the news channels were allowed to air it.
365
00:18:05,54.2160864 --> 00:18:15,377.7454982
They weren't allowed to do any advertising, but it was really one of the first in that Justice S Bill wanted people to hear his remarks, but he wanted to be very clear, very direct, and that is very different.
366
00:18:15,377.7454982 --> 00:18:18,936.5690276
And I think this case was the perfect position for him to do that.
367
00:18:19,495.392557 --> 00:18:20,877.7454982
Just to prevent people.
368
00:18:20,907.1572629 --> 00:18:23,289.5102041
And it effectively puts it to rest, I think is what I'm trying to say.
369
00:18:23,289.5102041 --> 00:18:25,171.8631453
It does, and it, it got global traction.
370
00:18:25,171.8631453 --> 00:18:27,701.27491
I think that was the only way to close the book.
371
00:18:27,760.0984394 --> 00:18:27,965.9807923
Yeah.
372
00:18:27,965.9807923 --> 00:18:28,289.5102041
A hundred.
373
00:18:28,318.9219688 --> 00:18:29,142.4513806
It needed to happen.
374
00:18:30,142.4513806 --> 00:18:31,642.4513806
And Gab, let's be real.
375
00:18:31,642.4513806 --> 00:18:32,289.5102041
This isn't over.
376
00:18:32,524.8043217 --> 00:18:35,465.9807923
This is the beginning of the Erin Patterson cinematic universe.
377
00:18:35,495.392557 --> 00:18:39,83.6278511
Can I just say finally, now we wait.
378
00:18:39,142.4513806 --> 00:18:43,495.392557
The documentaries, the docuseries, the movie interpretations.
379
00:18:43,495.392557 --> 00:18:51,774.8043217
Do you reckon we'll get a musical, like something akin to Muriel's wedding? Maybe, and it would be Aussie and it would be indie, wouldn't it? It wouldn't be.
380
00:18:51,774.8043217 --> 00:18:55,691.4709884
It would that good, would it? It would be good to us, but no one else will understand.
381
00:18:55,720.8827531 --> 00:18:55,809.1180472
Yes.
382
00:18:55,809.1180472 --> 00:18:58,191.4709884
But if they make it good for everyone else, it'll be awful.
383
00:18:58,367.9415766 --> 00:18:59,897.3533413
And cringe and super cringe.
384
00:18:59,897.3533413 --> 00:19:00,191.4709884
Yeah.
385
00:19:00,456.1768707 --> 00:19:05,15.0004002
And who do you think's gonna play? Erin? I think it's Katu and Rhonda.
386
00:19:05,15.0004002 --> 00:19:05,809.1180472
I think it's Rhonda.
387
00:19:05,867.9415766 --> 00:19:07,309.1180472
You know who I'm talking about? Yes.
388
00:19:07,309.1180472 --> 00:19:08,715.9807923
That is a good, like a sun raise.
389
00:19:08,926.765106 --> 00:19:09,809.1180472
Good shout.
390
00:19:10,367.9415766 --> 00:19:12,456.1768707
I think it'll be Boomer from Wentworth.
391
00:19:12,632.647459 --> 00:19:14,603.2356943
Her name is Katrina Sek.
392
00:19:15,162.0592237 --> 00:19:18,583.6278511
I think she'll be the perfect, yeah, there's gonna be a variety.
393
00:19:18,583.6278511 --> 00:19:20,701.27491
Like we can kind of see who does the best, Erin.
394
00:19:20,730.6866747 --> 00:19:22,142.4513806
'cause there will be multiple.
395
00:19:22,554.2160864 --> 00:19:22,995.392557
There will.
396
00:19:22,995.392557 --> 00:19:23,818.9219688
And I can't wait.
397
00:19:24,201.27491 --> 00:19:24,936.5690276
Cannot wait.
398
00:19:26,897.5886355 --> 00:19:29,691.7062825
So Clint, yesterday was Father's Day.
399
00:19:29,868.1768707 --> 00:19:29,956.4121649
Mm-hmm.
400
00:19:30,485.8239296 --> 00:19:38,44.647459
And so I thought it might be interesting to actually talk about what it means to be a father now in 2025 versus say.
401
00:19:38,427.0004002 --> 00:19:41,191.7062825
Back in the 1960s.
402
00:19:41,196.6082433 --> 00:19:41,441.7062825
Mm-hmm.
403
00:19:41,696.6082433 --> 00:19:45,809.3533413
Uh, and when I started looking into this, there's been a significant change.
404
00:19:45,927.0004002 --> 00:19:46,15.2356943
Mm-hmm.
405
00:19:46,485.8239296 --> 00:19:54,591.7062825
Flashback to fathers in 1965 and how much time they spent with their kids.
406
00:19:55,297.5886355 --> 00:20:03,415.2356943
Guess how much you think it would be per day? Maybe an hour? No, 16 minutes a day on childcare.
407
00:20:03,841.7062825 --> 00:20:06,371.1180472
16 minutes you say? In the 1965.
408
00:20:06,454.4513806 --> 00:20:20,925.0396158
And what we found out recently is that millennial men, men who are fathers, so born between 1981 and 1996, are the first generation of fathers to consistently spend more time with their kids than their own dads.
409
00:20:21,27.9807923 --> 00:20:34,792.6866747
Fast forward 2016, how many minutes or hours a day do you think dads are spending with their kids? Alright, so in 1965, the fathers would've been the primary bed bread winner.
410
00:20:34,880.9219688 --> 00:20:34,998.5690276
Mm-hmm.
411
00:20:35,233.8631453 --> 00:20:39,175.0396158
And they would've gone to work while the women work at home in 2016.
412
00:20:39,175.0396158 --> 00:20:45,189.7454982
It's more likely than not that women are also working because you generally now need to survive two incomes.
413
00:20:46,189.7454982 --> 00:20:49,836.8043217
I'm gonna say maybe it's not gonna be as much as the women.
414
00:20:50,189.7454982 --> 00:20:58,560.3337335
You work eight hours a day, you sleep at eight hours and you have eight hours sort of for the home life, I'm gonna say three hours.
415
00:20:59,501.5102041 --> 00:21:02,325.0396158
It's actually one hour and 23 minutes.
416
00:21:02,413.27491 --> 00:21:03,177.9807923
Not much time.
417
00:21:03,236.8043217 --> 00:21:04,60.3337335
It's not much time.
418
00:21:04,60.3337335 --> 00:21:08,530.9219688
I think if you look at a weekday, say when you're working, I still think it's about half the time of a day.
419
00:21:08,530.9219688 --> 00:21:11,707.392557
You'd expect, I would expect an hour and a half in the morning, hour and a half at night.
420
00:21:11,795.6278511 --> 00:21:11,883.8631453
Mm-hmm.
421
00:21:12,413.27491 --> 00:21:14,354.4513806
But then you take into account weekends.
422
00:21:14,707.392557 --> 00:21:17,619.1572629
Mm, what's your excuse? Exactly.
423
00:21:17,619.1572629 --> 00:21:19,60.3337335
So that should actually bump it up.
424
00:21:19,70.1376551 --> 00:21:20,217.1964786
It's quite low really.
425
00:21:20,589.7454982 --> 00:21:21,883.8631453
So that's 2016.
426
00:21:22,177.9807923 --> 00:21:23,883.8631453
But COVID has happened since then.
427
00:21:23,883.8631453 --> 00:21:23,972.0984394
Mm-hmm.
428
00:21:23,977.9807923 --> 00:21:24,653.4709884
And that certainly has, its.
429
00:21:25,511.3141256 --> 00:21:31,864.2553021
Sated the time, and fathers have become now more so these primary caregivers for part for the day.
430
00:21:32,217.1964786 --> 00:21:40,305.4317727
In 2023, a Gallup survey showed that 58% of fathers under 40 say that they want equal share of childcare.
431
00:21:40,628.9611845 --> 00:21:46,628.9611845
And you look at that versus 35% of Gen X dads that want the same.
432
00:21:46,874.0592237 --> 00:21:51,854.4513806
And what about the mothers? How much time do they spend in this study? Really interesting that you ask.
433
00:21:51,854.4513806 --> 00:21:52,413.27491
So.
434
00:21:53,413.27491 --> 00:21:56,442.6866747
With the men are certainly, or fathers are certainly not saints yet.
435
00:21:56,447.5886355 --> 00:22:08,119.1572629
There's a, there's a bit that needs to be done because despite all this change, women are still carrying most of the load and actually mothers still spend double the hours on childcare, even post COVID.
436
00:22:08,619.1572629 --> 00:22:18,658.3729492
You are contributing to the household income, you are doing more childcare and how do we move away from that? Because the feminist angle here.
437
00:22:19,378.9611845 --> 00:22:24,173.0788315
To get better equity for women in the workforce and productivity, there should be more equity in the home as well.
438
00:22:24,526.020008 --> 00:22:33,261.3141256
There should be, and now the trend line is certainly going the right way, but it is so slow we have the data and millennials.
439
00:22:33,261.3141256 --> 00:22:36,202.4905962
What about the Gen Zs? What about Gen Alpha? Mm.
440
00:22:36,202.4905962 --> 00:22:41,526.020008
What we really need is more normalizing of male caregiving to allow that.
441
00:22:42,40.7258904 --> 00:22:52,334.8435374
Flexibility for women to feel like they can go back to the workplace and have a career that they feel like they don't have the mental load that so often so many women talk about.
442
00:22:52,452.4905962 --> 00:22:52,540.7258904
Mm-hmm.
443
00:22:52,776.020008 --> 00:22:57,785.8239296
Um, organizing their kids and, you know, domestic labor, everything like that.
444
00:22:58,217.1964786 --> 00:23:01,84.8435374
And also more of a trend, which I certainly started, but.
445
00:23:01,584.8435374 --> 00:23:08,231.9023609
That identity of fatherhood and actually that importance of having a relationship versus just being the breadwinner.
446
00:23:08,437.7847139 --> 00:23:08,820.1376551
I love it.
447
00:23:10,781.1572629 --> 00:23:12,251.7454982
Bit of a change of scenery now.
448
00:23:12,457.6278511 --> 00:23:12,545.8631453
Mm-hmm.
449
00:23:12,781.1572629 --> 00:23:13,197.8239296
Um, with the.
450
00:23:14,197.8239296 --> 00:23:15,256.647459
Topic, Claire.
451
00:23:15,991.9415766 --> 00:23:20,374.2945178
And that is something that I've been wanting to bring up and raise for a few weeks.
452
00:23:20,374.2945178 --> 00:23:21,139.0004002
And you keep saying no.
453
00:23:21,550.765106 --> 00:23:22,50.765106
Every week.
454
00:23:22,50.765106 --> 00:23:25,428.2160864
You're like, can we talk about the orcas? And I'm like, we need to talk about the orcas.
455
00:23:25,585.0788315 --> 00:23:26,604.6866747
We need to talk about the orcas.
456
00:23:27,227.2356943 --> 00:23:31,678.2160864
And what do we wanna talk about the orcas? Well, what do you wanna talk about? The orcas? I, let me preface here.
457
00:23:32,21.3533413 --> 00:23:37,21.3533413
I'm not a creep, but I don't wanna say, but I'm definitely not a creep.
458
00:23:37,550.765106 --> 00:23:38,227.2356943
However.
459
00:23:38,712.5298119 --> 00:23:42,359.5886355
This really sickens me and I want you to feel what I'm feeling right now.
460
00:23:42,389.0004002 --> 00:23:42,477.2356943
Mm-hmm.
461
00:23:42,712.5298119 --> 00:23:43,918.4121649
So I'd rather share this with everyone.
462
00:23:44,624.2945178 --> 00:23:50,241.9415766
There was a headline, which was about orca sexual stimulation.
463
00:23:50,859.5886355 --> 00:23:51,359.5886355
Yes.
464
00:23:51,389.0004002 --> 00:23:52,447.8239296
You heard that right.
465
00:23:53,153.7062825 --> 00:23:58,594.8827531
Trainers in France have been manually stimulating a killer whale.
466
00:23:59,594.8827531 --> 00:24:05,65.4709884
His name is, he's 14 years old, and you're probably wondering why.
467
00:24:05,889.0004002 --> 00:24:09,418.4121649
Is it for breeding? Is it to get the semen? No, no, no.
468
00:24:10,94.8827531 --> 00:24:14,936.0592237
Is it for science? No, it's so he doesn't sleep with his mother.
469
00:24:15,936.0592237 --> 00:24:16,436.0592237
Oh God.
470
00:24:17,171.3533413 --> 00:24:20,553.7062825
Sick, right? Oh, and that's the best they could come up with.
471
00:24:20,612.5298119 --> 00:24:21,200.765106
Yes.
472
00:24:21,200.765106 --> 00:24:24,465.4709884
It's to prevent the inbreeding with his mother Wilkie.
473
00:24:24,847.8239296 --> 00:24:32,612.5298119
And so the trainers are allegedly performing sexual stimulation, and the reason why this has come about is the park.
474
00:24:33,141.9415766 --> 00:24:36,83.1180472
That they're in because they're captured.
475
00:24:36,279.1964786 --> 00:24:42,14.4905962
And they're part of, I don't, I don't wanna say zoo, but essentially similar closed in January.
476
00:24:42,338.020008 --> 00:24:46,602.7258904
And there was, because there was protests of safety concerns.
477
00:24:46,838.020008 --> 00:24:50,573.3141256
And so because apparently orcas are social beings, you can't separate.
478
00:24:51,470.3729492 --> 00:24:51,529.1964786
Yeah.
479
00:24:52,58.6082433 --> 00:24:54,205.6670668
And so they have to keep him in the same Sure.
480
00:24:54,205.6670668 --> 00:24:55,293.9023609
There's better solutions to this.
481
00:24:55,293.9023609 --> 00:24:55,382.1376551
Cool.
482
00:24:55,411.5494198 --> 00:25:04,29.1964786
Like if the part's close, can't you just like get another, or can't you separate them? Can you send them to other, can you just put 'em back into the wild? I've not, they might've been br in captivity though.
483
00:25:04,29.1964786 --> 00:25:04,793.9023609
Like, they'll just die.
484
00:25:04,999.7847139 --> 00:25:09,205.6670668
Will they? Well, 'cause they don't, I mean, I'm ACA specialist, but he's getting special treatment.
485
00:25:09,205.6670668 --> 00:25:14,146.8435374
I he's certainly not got, can, can we not desex an orca? I don't know.
486
00:25:14,852.7258904 --> 00:25:17,852.7258904
I would hope that they've considered that and it's not possible because Sure, yeah.
487
00:25:17,852.7258904 --> 00:25:24,911.5494198
Why would you result in this? Why would you be like, I'm gonna live giving a orca a hand job daily.
488
00:25:24,911.5494198 --> 00:25:28,235.0788315
Imagine if that's career, a simple surgery to like desex them.
489
00:25:28,235.0788315 --> 00:25:31,764.4905962
So the trainers are either no, they have to be sick.
490
00:25:31,793.9023609 --> 00:25:32,382.1376551
I'm sorry.
491
00:25:32,440.9611845 --> 00:25:34,735.0788315
It's honestly, you're at the workplace.
492
00:25:34,735.0788315 --> 00:25:36,323.3141256
I go, there's a crisis.
493
00:25:36,323.3141256 --> 00:25:37,382.1376551
The park's closing.
494
00:25:37,588.020008 --> 00:25:42,264.4905962
I'm gonna need you to help little baby orca here.
495
00:25:42,352.7258904 --> 00:25:42,911.5494198
Masturbate.
496
00:25:43,705.6670668 --> 00:25:44,382.1376551
Every day.
497
00:25:44,499.7847139 --> 00:25:50,176.2553021
Did you this in the job description? I don't know, but I saw the, no, I don't wanna say footage.
498
00:25:50,293.9023609 --> 00:25:54,823.3141256
It was like a Google Maps, bird's eye view it's on it back.
499
00:25:54,823.3141256 --> 00:26:01,700.765106
How much research have you done into this? No, no, no, Not a lot, but like, he's like on his back and you can see it from the sky.
500
00:26:02,465.4709884 --> 00:26:15,975.27491
But also like how does the trainer not accidentally get drowned? 'cause aren't Orcas also known to like drown their trainers? Or is it killer whales? Honestly, I don't know, but it's really sickening me because it's really showing this desperation of captivity.
501
00:26:16,534.0984394 --> 00:26:20,847.8239296
If this is your solution the orca in the wild can live till 50.
502
00:26:21,847.8239296 --> 00:26:27,465.4709884
What are they gonna do now for the remaining, like for these, are they gonna do this for 35 years? Yeah, exactly.
503
00:26:27,465.4709884 --> 00:26:28,936.0592237
Just, no, they've gotta have a better solution.
504
00:26:28,936.0592237 --> 00:26:30,24.2945178
Something's gonna happen.
505
00:26:30,24.2945178 --> 00:26:31,818.4121649
I mean, they've been doing this for six months now.
506
00:26:31,818.4121649 --> 00:26:32,524.2945178
It's too long.
507
00:26:33,53.7062825 --> 00:26:41,318.4121649
And it's just really showing that explosive control over bodies certainly exists, even with animals for human convenience.
508
00:26:41,730.1768707 --> 00:26:44,259.5886355
Oh my God, this is, yeah.
509
00:26:44,289.0004002 --> 00:26:45,289.0004002
Good luck sleeping tonight.
510
00:26:45,965.4709884 --> 00:26:46,24.2945178
Ugh.
511
00:26:47,936.2945178 --> 00:26:49,406.8827531
All right, gab, picture this.
512
00:26:49,671.5886355 --> 00:26:50,259.8239296
You're on mute.
513
00:26:50,289.2356943 --> 00:26:51,24.5298119
Your camera's off.
514
00:26:51,730.4121649 --> 00:26:53,906.8827531
You are making a cup of coffee.
515
00:26:54,142.1768707 --> 00:26:55,995.1180472
You are humming to Sabrina Carpenter.
516
00:26:56,171.5886355 --> 00:26:57,995.1180472
You might be marinating 'cause you've just faked hand.
517
00:26:57,995.1180472 --> 00:26:59,24.5298119
It's 'cause it's a Friday.
518
00:26:59,24.5298119 --> 00:27:00,553.9415766
You're getting Oh, I'm, I'm working from home.
519
00:27:00,583.3533413 --> 00:27:00,995.1180472
You are out.
520
00:27:01,53.9415766 --> 00:27:01,436.2945178
Yeah.
521
00:27:01,436.2945178 --> 00:27:02,495.1180472
Your hair's a mess.
522
00:27:02,524.5298119 --> 00:27:03,230.4121649
It's in a barn.
523
00:27:03,495.1180472 --> 00:27:07,818.647459
You are wearing like the pajamas down the bottom, but your black work blouse up top.
524
00:27:08,718.647459 --> 00:27:17,806.8827531
And you find out that your work laptop is secretly recording every sound in your house and your camera is on without you knowing it's not Black Mirror.
525
00:27:17,865.7062825 --> 00:27:19,718.647459
This is Melbourne in 2025.
526
00:27:20,42.1768707 --> 00:27:23,748.0592237
Your company's doing it, and your company is a compliance training business.
527
00:27:24,648.0592237 --> 00:27:29,559.8239296
It, there's so many things wrong with this compliance training.
528
00:27:29,706.8827531 --> 00:27:30,353.9415766
Hilarious.
529
00:27:31,45.1180472 --> 00:27:33,270.6082433
But also, like you said, it's like black mirror.
530
00:27:33,329.4317727 --> 00:27:37,128.4513806
I guess with technology it was inevitable, but that is too close to home.
531
00:27:38,128.4513806 --> 00:27:38,804.9219688
Safe track.
532
00:27:38,893.1572629 --> 00:27:48,412.765106
The Victorian based company rolled out monitoring software Terra Mind, which is an American software company around mid-April 2025.
533
00:27:48,677.4709884 --> 00:27:54,883.3533413
Some of the laptops had mic and screen capture, which ran for long stretches.
534
00:27:55,353.9415766 --> 00:27:58,59.8239296
It was scooping up meetings and ambient home audio.
535
00:27:58,89.2356943 --> 00:27:59,535.3141256
So you are at home, you're talking to your partner.
536
00:28:00,231.392557 --> 00:28:05,525.5102041
And your boss can listen in, End of the day, if you're at home, I don't always shut down my computer.
537
00:28:05,790.2160864 --> 00:28:08,809.8239296
If it's just there, could they just, look in at night? Sure.
538
00:28:09,809.8239296 --> 00:28:20,172.5690276
I know, right? Two staff who objected to this surveillance when they realized what it was and when they looked up the software were locked out of their laptops and then dismissed for poor performance.
539
00:28:20,819.6278511 --> 00:28:23,231.392557
A third received work cover for anxiety.
540
00:28:23,824.5298119 --> 00:28:30,128.4513806
The police and regulators were notified by the staff and investigatings are live Safe track.
541
00:28:30,128.4513806 --> 00:28:32,569.6278511
Say staff consented via their employment contracts.
542
00:28:32,569.6278511 --> 00:28:35,981.392557
So your employment, it would say they have the right to do whatever they want with their laptops.
543
00:28:36,422.5690276 --> 00:28:39,716.6866747
But in Victoria, this is illegal.
544
00:28:40,422.5690276 --> 00:28:52,84.3337335
Is it illegal in all of Australia or just Victoria? In Victoria, the surveillance device is, act of 1999, makes a fence to use a listening device to overhear or record a private conversation without consent of each party.
545
00:28:52,84.3337335 --> 00:28:53,466.6866747
So both of us need a consent.
546
00:28:54,378.4513806 --> 00:28:57,54.9219688
Turning the mic to capture on home audio.
547
00:28:57,349.0396158 --> 00:28:59,113.7454982
That's a fence you can't jump.
548
00:28:59,437.27491 --> 00:29:01,701.9807923
So the penalties include fines and even prison.
549
00:29:01,701.9807923 --> 00:29:05,349.0396158
So the CEO is being investigated by Victorian police.
550
00:29:05,349.0396158 --> 00:29:06,378.4513806
It, it's actually a joke.
551
00:29:06,378.4513806 --> 00:29:08,701.9807923
A compliance company that is noncompliant.
552
00:29:08,731.392557 --> 00:29:15,878.4513806
Yeah, a recent Victorian parliamentary inquiry recommended that workplace surveillance must be reasonable, necessary, and proportionate.
553
00:29:15,932.3729492 --> 00:29:20,84.3337335
IIE, no carpet bomb spying, just reasonable actions.
554
00:29:20,84.3337335 --> 00:29:24,907.8631453
So things that you might expect your employer to do is, I'm sorry, but I surveillance.
555
00:29:25,496.0984394 --> 00:29:32,790.2160864
When is it? Okay? Your employer could look at data like, is your laptop being used or not? Like people talk about this team status.
556
00:29:32,790.2160864 --> 00:29:35,231.392557
Are you active? Are you away? Oh, true.
557
00:29:35,525.5102041 --> 00:29:35,760.8043217
Okay, fine.
558
00:29:35,790.2160864 --> 00:29:53,996.0984394
So, if I think about, um, my employer, if you don't log onto your laptop and you don't tell your your boss where you are, that sign that you have resigned, what if you are not using your laptop and you're working from home? That you have resigned and you don't tell your boss where you are, and you've got no reason to not be working.
559
00:29:53,996.0984394 --> 00:29:59,858.8435374
What if I've been hit by a bus? It'd be proportionate, but it could also be seen like absconding from your workplace.
560
00:29:59,858.8435374 --> 00:30:00,358.8435374
Yeah, fair enough.
561
00:30:00,358.8435374 --> 00:30:00,800.020008
Fair enough.
562
00:30:00,858.8435374 --> 00:30:01,94.1376551
Yeah.
563
00:30:01,994.1376551 --> 00:30:07,23.5494198
In New South Wales, the Workplace Surveillance Act requires prior written notice, often 14 days.
564
00:30:07,567.6670668 --> 00:30:13,861.7847139
For computer camera tracking surveillance, so they have to let them know, but covert monitoring is heavily restricted.
565
00:30:13,950.020008 --> 00:30:17,126.4905962
Okay? This is stuff you have to get like subpoenas and permission from courts to record.
566
00:30:18,126.4905962 --> 00:30:31,401.0004002
There's also a Federal act if you're covered by the Privacy Act, serious interferences and covert recording could be $50 million in penalty, and you can only collect what's reasonably necessarily fairly and transparently.
567
00:30:31,744.1376551 --> 00:30:39,918.647459
What is reasonable then? What can employers usually do? They can check for logins, periods of idle time at website use.
568
00:30:39,918.647459 --> 00:30:43,183.3533413
So if you're watching YouTube all day, they could potentially pick that up.
569
00:30:43,565.7062825 --> 00:30:50,899.0396158
Basic productivity metrics the occasional screenshot on work devices so they can screenshot what your screen is periodically.
570
00:30:51,46.0984394 --> 00:30:59,580.4121649
Now this is fascinating because so many employers, including, um, places I've worked at where you have a phone that is dual use.
571
00:31:00,580.4121649 --> 00:31:05,374.5298119
So what they can screenshot, 'cause you would have personal stuff on your phone as well as work stuff.
572
00:31:05,433.3533413 --> 00:31:05,609.8239296
Yeah.
573
00:31:05,614.7258904 --> 00:31:07,845.1180472
So if it's a work phone, they have the right to have a look at that.
574
00:31:08,139.2356943 --> 00:31:08,962.765106
That is so bad.
575
00:31:08,992.1768707 --> 00:31:11,315.7062825
But they probably wouldn't have the right to look at your personal device.
576
00:31:11,345.1180472 --> 00:31:11,580.4121649
Yeah.
577
00:31:12,21.5886355 --> 00:31:15,80.4121649
Uh, but what crosses the line is covert audio of your home life.
578
00:31:15,580.4121649 --> 00:31:19,462.765106
Always on webcam, anything, not disclosed anything disproportionate to the risk.
579
00:31:19,492.1768707 --> 00:31:19,698.0592237
Mm-hmm.
580
00:31:19,933.3533413 --> 00:31:21,109.8239296
And that's where they have been bitten.
581
00:31:22,109.8239296 --> 00:31:25,198.0592237
Just a PSA to anyone out there that's trying to like game the system.
582
00:31:25,433.3533413 --> 00:31:30,433.3533413
Math, jiggler macros, fake activity scripts, they don't work.
583
00:31:30,835.3141256 --> 00:31:34,629.4317727
You are creating a systematic kind of version of events.
584
00:31:34,952.9611845 --> 00:31:37,11.7847139
If you are caught, it's very deceptive.
585
00:31:37,11.7847139 --> 00:31:38,864.7258904
You're not gonna have a leg to stand on.
586
00:31:38,952.9611845 --> 00:31:39,482.3729492
That's true.
587
00:31:40,482.3729492 --> 00:31:40,923.5494198
And.
588
00:31:41,629.4317727 --> 00:31:52,766.6866747
What do you do? Like, I'm just trying to imagine being at home if this is happening, does the light switch on? What would you do if you're suspecting this dodgy surveillance behavior? What's the problem? You might not know what's happening.
589
00:31:53,90.2160864 --> 00:31:57,384.3337335
So if you think your employer is doing this, you can definitely ask if they're doing it.
590
00:31:58,60.8043217 --> 00:32:00,364.7258904
You could cover your, I mean, you shouldn't need to do this.
591
00:32:00,364.7258904 --> 00:32:07,864.7258904
Is that what happened in this case? In this case, they said that they were refusing to do it when they did their own research into the employer's actions.
592
00:32:08,747.0788315 --> 00:32:12,129.4317727
One thing though, I did wanna point out though, gab we're both managers.
593
00:32:13,129.4317727 --> 00:32:13,482.3729492
Yeah.
594
00:32:13,688.2553021 --> 00:32:30,11.7847139
Could we be put in a situation where we are being asked to break the law by monitoring our employees on behalf of our employers? What would you do? I, if the law, and thankfully the law is on our side here, I just don't know how comfortable I would feel.
595
00:32:30,70.6082433 --> 00:32:36,585.3141257
But when I was telling you about this Yeah, you said, well, they're allowed to do that, aren't they? I was like, no, it's illegal.
596
00:32:36,585.3141257 --> 00:32:48,928.4513806
Well, I thought that if it was written in the contract, which I think it is in some states, that they can, That's the problem, right? You're a manager, you get told, you go and listen to 10 hours of audio footage of Julian.
597
00:32:49,693.1572629 --> 00:32:53,786.2945178
Making coffee and having a fight with his wife, and that's so bad.
598
00:32:54,75.5102041 --> 00:32:54,251.9807923
Bad.
599
00:32:54,310.8043217 --> 00:32:59,693.1572629
An episode of Netflix when he should be working, we're as bad as that woman of the mother.
600
00:32:59,693.1572629 --> 00:33:01,541.1964786
You effectively maybe broken the law.
601
00:33:01,600.020008 --> 00:33:01,952.9611845
Yeah.
602
00:33:02,305.9023609 --> 00:33:03,247.0788315
And you had no idea.
603
00:33:03,537.0788315 --> 00:33:05,448.8435374
There's so many things wrong with this.
604
00:33:05,448.8435374 --> 00:33:09,360.6082433
I think there's other ways besides surveillance to find out information.
605
00:33:09,419.4317727 --> 00:33:17,586.0984394
The Victorian parliamentary report sets out how to test this and how, as a manager to stay out of the headlines and potentially handcuffs.
606
00:33:17,615.5102041 --> 00:33:17,762.5690276
Mm-hmm.
607
00:33:18,27.27491 --> 00:33:19,233.1572629
Start with outputs.
608
00:33:19,321.392557 --> 00:33:21,654.7258904
Don't worry about the micro.
609
00:33:22,522.3729492 --> 00:33:26,463.5494198
Set expectations, deliverables, and response times.
610
00:33:26,492.9611845 --> 00:33:26,787.0788315
Yeah.
611
00:33:27,51.7847139 --> 00:33:31,934.1376551
Be transparent with what you monitor and how you monitor and make sure it's documented.
612
00:33:32,934.1376551 --> 00:33:38,365.5102041
Never ever record anyone at home, so no ambient audio just don't even go there.
613
00:33:38,365.5102041 --> 00:33:39,591.0004002
They even said, don't go there.
614
00:33:40,414.5298119 --> 00:33:41,326.2945178
Don't retaliate.
615
00:33:41,326.2945178 --> 00:33:42,532.1768708
When staff raise concerns.
616
00:33:42,532.1768708 --> 00:33:50,752.765106
So if staff ask you, how are you doing this? Can I see the outputs? Can you provide this? Don't retaliate or become defensive.
617
00:33:50,929.2356943 --> 00:33:51,811.5886355
Be transparent.
618
00:33:51,841.0004002 --> 00:33:52,341.0004002
Yes.
619
00:33:52,546.8827531 --> 00:33:59,370.4121649
So employees know where they stand and reality check, even outside safe tracks pushback.
620
00:33:59,399.8239296 --> 00:34:02,752.765106
So they didn't think they've done anything wrong, but.
621
00:34:03,752.765106 --> 00:34:09,311.5886355
Other employers are actively looking into these technologies and how they can do it without effectively breaking the law.
622
00:34:09,370.4121649 --> 00:34:11,488.0592237
It completely severs your culture.
623
00:34:11,517.4709884 --> 00:34:15,341.0004002
The trust is gone between employer and employee a hundred percent.
624
00:34:15,341.0004002 --> 00:34:17,747.8631453
If you are getting to this point, you've got a bigger problem.
625
00:34:18,747.8631453 --> 00:34:30,836.0984394
But the last thing I was gonna say though, gab, at what point do we trade work from home and accept surveillance? And what I mean by that is if you wanna work from home, this is what you need to be okay with.
626
00:34:30,924.3337335 --> 00:34:31,189.0396158
Yeah.
627
00:34:31,600.8043217 --> 00:34:36,365.5102041
To stop this productivity paranoia that's being said, that, people are not productive when they work from home.
628
00:34:37,365.5102041 --> 00:34:39,277.27491
I just feel like they've put baby in the corner.
629
00:34:39,277.27491 --> 00:34:40,610.6082433
You know what I mean? I hate it.
630
00:34:41,610.6082433 --> 00:34:41,875.3141257
Yeah.
631
00:34:41,934.1376551 --> 00:34:45,904.7258904
Would I go to the o if they were doing that? I think, yeah, I'd go to the office.
632
00:34:45,934.1376551 --> 00:34:47,252.765106
'cause But you would be happy? I don't would 'cause wouldn't happy you wouldn't.
633
00:34:47,640.020008 --> 00:34:47,787.0788315
No.
634
00:34:47,787.0788315 --> 00:34:48,963.5494198
You wouldn't be happy about it.
635
00:34:48,963.5494198 --> 00:34:51,140.020008
But I wouldn't want someone invading my privacy.
636
00:34:51,434.1376551 --> 00:35:02,649.8239296
So I think that's where we're gonna get to is more and more of these softwares are coming up and they will be adapted to different countries and their laws, and they will know exactly what they can and can't do.
637
00:35:03,61.5886355 --> 00:35:05,267.4709884
But I think people are gonna start being closely measured.
638
00:35:06,159.6278511 --> 00:35:11,130.2160864
It's happened right here in Melbourne, where else is it happening? It's creepy.
639
00:35:11,130.2160864 --> 00:35:11,865.5102041
It's disturbing.
640
00:35:13,826.5298119 --> 00:35:15,414.765106
We haven't spoken about this yet.
641
00:35:15,532.4121649 --> 00:35:15,620.647459
Mm-hmm.
642
00:35:15,855.9415766 --> 00:35:23,32.4121649
But it's so relevant right now, and that is the fact that we have a new editor of Vogue America.
643
00:35:23,576.5298119 --> 00:35:24,164.765106
We do.
644
00:35:24,194.1768708 --> 00:35:27,694.1768708
Chloe Mal, she's 39, she's an Nepo baby, and she's owning it.
645
00:35:27,723.5886355 --> 00:35:28,988.2945178
She's owning the nepotism.
646
00:35:28,988.2945178 --> 00:35:29,76.5298119
Mm-hmm.
647
00:35:29,341.2356943 --> 00:35:31,105.9415766
Which I thought was really interesting.
648
00:35:31,105.9415766 --> 00:35:38,576.5298119
So she has stepped into the role as head of editorial content succeeding Anna, a winter in daily operations.
649
00:35:38,870.647459 --> 00:35:46,723.5886355
Winter isn't disappearing, she's staying on as a global editorial director, and she's also staying in as that sort of power player.
650
00:35:47,105.9415766 --> 00:35:49,429.4709884
She's just less in the trenches as she was.
651
00:35:49,880.4513806 --> 00:35:50,733.392557
She should be.
652
00:35:50,733.392557 --> 00:35:53,851.0396158
I, I'm not sure how old she's now, but she deserves to start chilling out.
653
00:35:53,851.0396158 --> 00:35:54,145.1572629
Yeah, relaxing.
654
00:35:54,203.9807923 --> 00:35:57,115.7454982
She's been the Vogue editor in chief for 37 years.
655
00:35:57,115.7454982 --> 00:35:59,674.5690276
That's practically an entire monarchy shift.
656
00:35:59,851.0396158 --> 00:36:05,821.6278511
It is, and she's built this church of exclusivity and prestige, so Chloe's challenge.
657
00:36:06,32.4121649 --> 00:36:13,414.765106
As the new editor is really going to be to turn it into a digital brand that Gen Z actually wants to engage with.
658
00:36:13,650.0592237 --> 00:36:23,326.5298119
It's a real critical time as sort of these traditional press, print media transition into the digital age in a way that's still going to resonate with new audiences.
659
00:36:23,444.1768708 --> 00:36:24,32.4121649
Yeah, absolutely.
660
00:36:24,32.4121649 --> 00:36:30,76.5298119
So who is Chloe Mal? So she's the daughter of Candace Bergen as you like Sex in the City? Yes.
661
00:36:30,135.3533413 --> 00:36:38,703.9807923
And also Louis Ma, who is a French film director, so she's certainly a nepo baby tick for privilege in that perspective.
662
00:36:38,821.6278511 --> 00:36:39,86.3337335
Mm-hmm.
663
00:36:39,498.0984394 --> 00:36:44,360.8435374
Um, she went to Brown University and so tick that from Ivy League Polish.
664
00:36:44,846.1376551 --> 00:36:44,904.9611845
Yeah.
665
00:36:45,493.1964786 --> 00:36:52,669.6670668
And then in 2011, she joined Vogue as a social editor and later went to Town and Country and then came back to Vogue.
666
00:36:52,816.7258904 --> 00:36:54,81.4317727
She's hosted podcasts.
667
00:36:54,110.8435374 --> 00:36:55,434.3729492
She's run vogue.com,
668
00:36:55,757.9023609 --> 00:37:02,199.0788315
and she's delivered buzzy cultural features like Naomi Biden's White House wedding, and Lauren Sanchez ahead of her be.
669
00:37:02,738.2945178 --> 00:37:03,297.1180472
Not chills.
670
00:37:03,351.0396158 --> 00:37:07,27.5102041
She actually did get some pretty big interviews under her belt She's very vogue.
671
00:37:07,174.5690276 --> 00:37:16,968.6866747
She's glamorous, well connection now well connected and well schooled, but she's also built up the right kind of digital portfolio that Vogue desperately needs right now to remain relevant.
672
00:37:17,27.5102041 --> 00:37:17,498.0984394
Relevant.
673
00:37:17,615.7454982 --> 00:37:20,233.392557
And have you seen like their Instagram page and like Yes.
674
00:37:20,233.392557 --> 00:37:26,302.020008
They curated, like the coverage that they do on those socials are really good? And yes, she's admitted that outright.
675
00:37:26,302.020008 --> 00:37:27,654.9611845
She's a proud Nepo baby.
676
00:37:27,654.9611845 --> 00:37:32,390.2553021
So nepotism certainly gets you through the door, but it's not gonna keep you in that position.
677
00:37:32,390.2553021 --> 00:37:35,272.6082433
You really do have to, once you are in, you have to prove yourself.
678
00:37:35,654.9611845 --> 00:37:40,351.0396158
She's not the stereotypical, clueless socialite that's parachuted in.
679
00:37:40,645.1572629 --> 00:37:46,262.8043217
She has paid her dues, uh, be it on an easier track than most people.
680
00:37:46,645.1572629 --> 00:37:48,86.3337335
But let's be real.
681
00:37:48,498.0984394 --> 00:37:50,851.0396158
She wasn't grinding in obscurity.
682
00:37:50,880.4513806 --> 00:37:52,998.0984394
She was grinding inside the industry.
683
00:37:53,630.4513806 --> 00:38:01,218.6866747
The Vogue ladder isn't exactly forgiving and she still managed to climb it, so she has so definitely worked hard.
684
00:38:01,630.4513806 --> 00:38:01,953.9807923
Yeah.
685
00:38:02,953.9807923 --> 00:38:05,601.0396158
And Vogue has this elitism reputation.
686
00:38:05,904.9611845 --> 00:38:14,669.6670668
Handing the top job to the daughter of a Hollywood royalty doesn't exactly scream inclusivity, and some people in fashion are.
687
00:38:15,669.6670668 --> 00:38:16,904.9611845
Celebrating this.
688
00:38:17,12.8043217 --> 00:38:18,659.8631453
She's safe Hands for Vogue.
689
00:38:19,189.27491 --> 00:38:24,865.7454982
But others are really shrugging because of course the role went to someone who was born in the front row of culture week.
690
00:38:25,306.9219688 --> 00:38:26,424.5690276
Yeah, I agree with that.
691
00:38:26,895.1572629 --> 00:38:36,71.6278511
There was other people in the running, like Edward and Infu, who's the British Vogue was tipped, but he is actually eyeing broader roles beyond Vogue.
692
00:38:36,76.5298119 --> 00:38:36,429.4709884
That's amazing.
693
00:38:36,507.9023609 --> 00:38:40,797.1180472
I think this was quite a narrow role for him given he's coming from the British Vogue already.
694
00:38:40,797.1180472 --> 00:38:40,806.9219688
Yeah.
695
00:38:41,806.9219688 --> 00:38:44,689.27491
I don't think this is a glass cliff appointment.
696
00:38:44,689.27491 --> 00:38:46,748.0984394
It's not shocking, it's not radical.
697
00:38:46,748.0984394 --> 00:38:54,148.0984394
It's kind of expected, but vogue still has a problem they need to solve, and I think having this kind of.
698
00:38:55,148.0984394 --> 00:38:57,706.9219688
Elitist reputation isn't helping them.
699
00:38:57,971.6278511 --> 00:39:04,893.1964786
No, I agree with you there because Winter's Vogue was very glossy covers that prestige, that power.
700
00:39:05,99.0788315 --> 00:39:05,187.3141257
Mm-hmm.
701
00:39:05,422.6082433 --> 00:39:06,10.8435374
Chloe's Vogue.
702
00:39:06,10.8435374 --> 00:39:21,128.4905962
I'm curious what it's going to look like, but based on her experience, more digital storytelling, that less intimidating editor persona, she just doesn't have the same brand behind her and building Vogue into a community rather than a Bible.
703
00:39:21,128.4905962 --> 00:39:25,128.4905962
I think Vogue is about to go through a transformation, but also like Anna Winter comes with.
704
00:39:26,128.4905962 --> 00:39:29,540.2553021
The Anna Winter Acceptance Approval.
705
00:39:29,628.4905962 --> 00:39:31,687.3141257
Yeah, her viewpoint, her standards.
706
00:39:32,69.6670668 --> 00:39:34,628.4905962
And I think the authority's gone, isn't it? The authority is gone.
707
00:39:34,746.1376551 --> 00:39:37,304.9611845
Anna Winter sees something and it's just not up to standard.
708
00:39:37,304.9611845 --> 00:39:43,275.5494198
She can command the huge budget for like these shoots it's kind of like, you know, the Devil's wear Prada? It is.
709
00:39:43,329.4709884 --> 00:39:46,540.2553021
And they're like, they're reshooting the whole, you know, winter campaign.
710
00:39:46,540.2553021 --> 00:39:48,834.3729492
And he is like, how much is that gonna cost us? And they're like millions.
711
00:39:48,834.3729492 --> 00:39:49,363.7847139
And he is like.
712
00:39:50,157.9023609 --> 00:39:51,540.2553021
Must be a terrible campaign.
713
00:39:51,540.2553021 --> 00:39:54,559.8631453
Like it was just the well, if that's what she wants, that's what she gets.
714
00:39:54,559.8631453 --> 00:39:55,353.9807923
Absolutely.
715
00:39:55,353.9807923 --> 00:39:58,148.0984394
And I just can't imagine it being the same.
716
00:39:58,148.0984394 --> 00:40:06,383.392557
It must be really hard going into that position, likely younger than a lot of the people that are reporting into her having to prove her worth.
717
00:40:06,716.7258904 --> 00:40:10,755.9415766
But, it could also work in her favor because looking at Gen Z.
718
00:40:11,300.0592237 --> 00:40:13,594.1768708
They don't want that aloof glamor anymore.
719
00:40:13,594.1768708 --> 00:40:17,300.0592237
They probably want relatability, that authenticity.
720
00:40:17,770.647459 --> 00:40:24,309.8631453
Chloe's not giving, like I'm, she's sitting at the front row of their fashion show.
721
00:40:24,633.392557 --> 00:40:26,927.5102041
She's giving, I'll host a podcast in my slippers.
722
00:40:26,986.3337335 --> 00:40:27,986.3337335
It's that kind of vibe.
723
00:40:28,398.0984394 --> 00:40:28,780.4513806
Yeah.
724
00:40:28,809.8631453 --> 00:40:35,574.5690276
I think the Vogue editor in chief needs to be, I'm not a party girl, but I go to parties.
725
00:40:35,937.3141257 --> 00:40:36,672.6082433
And Gen Z.
726
00:40:37,202.020008 --> 00:40:41,54.9611845
I think with that generation it is so like you have to almost prove that you are cool.
727
00:40:41,319.6670668 --> 00:40:44,437.3141257
Yeah, so I think, you know, two things can be true at once.
728
00:40:44,643.1964786 --> 00:40:48,790.2553021
You can be a net or higher, but you can also earn through credibility.
729
00:40:49,84.3729492 --> 00:40:50,760.8435374
But you can take an easier pathway.
730
00:40:51,172.6082433 --> 00:40:56,849.0788315
So we can still say she's achieved, but we can also recognize that yes, she probably has had an easier pathway than some.
731
00:40:57,525.5494198 --> 00:41:00,231.4317727
I think we'd also both agree that Vogue hasn't taken a risk here.
732
00:41:00,260.8435374 --> 00:41:01,84.3729492
It's pretty.
733
00:41:02,84.3729492 --> 00:41:03,790.2553021
Business as usual with its decision.
734
00:41:03,849.0788315 --> 00:41:04,290.2553021
Yeah.
735
00:41:04,378.4905962 --> 00:41:13,202.020008
But whether she becomes a bridge to that next generation or just this softer face of Winter's legacy, that is the story that we should absolutely watch.
736
00:41:13,231.4317727 --> 00:41:13,407.9023609
Yeah.
737
00:41:13,407.9023609 --> 00:41:14,349.0788315
We'll just have to wait and see.
738
00:41:16,261.0788315 --> 00:41:21,849.3141257
and that's a wrap on this week's Spin Cycle, millennial Dads Orcas Dodgy Workplace Surveillance.
739
00:41:22,143.4317727 --> 00:41:26,25.7847139
Vogue's new editor, Netflix's Wildest Catfish story.
740
00:41:26,319.9023609 --> 00:41:28,525.7847139
And of course, Erin Patterson's sentencing.
741
00:41:28,731.6670668 --> 00:41:30,378.7258904
We have covered some ground.
742
00:41:30,702.2553021 --> 00:41:36,172.8435374
I'm so sad that this is probably the final, final death cap diaries that we get to enjoy.
743
00:41:36,290.4905962 --> 00:41:43,378.7258904
