Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam Nation shop yesterday, Shop Shop. I met
Jody and nice lady, and she said, you guys have
spoken about my daughter a bit on your show, and
I thought, okay, Angela Merkele, there there is a And
she didn't seem angry or upset. She didn't seem very

(00:23):
neutral on this, and so I thought, oh, and who
might ought to be? And Jodie just said moon Girl.
And I paused for a second, and you know, you
know who moon girl is, the young lady on Love
Island that thought the Earth was bigger than the Moon.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
I get that thing's giant.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
How many times bigger is it than Earth? Like the moon?
No bigger?

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Here? It is the moon.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
You just said, you're so into it and you don't
know that the moon's bigger than Earth. No, it's not
there it is. I don't think it is. The Moon
is bigger than Earth.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
It surely has to be, because when you're.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Looking at the Moon from Earth, it's huge, but like
it's so far away from us, so I couldn't even
say that because the Earth is not bigger. The Earth
is bigger than them.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
But we've had a lot of fun at her expense.
So how did you feel when her mother.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
I said to Jody, I said, look, you know and
the Hens come home to river when I ran into
Evelyn from married at first sight because I had made
a few jokes at her expense.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
And there is when they go on those shows.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Comes from a position of.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
From a place of life, come from a place of mockery,
and fair enough they go on those shows.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
And Jody did say, you said, well, you put yourself
out there, and then it got me thinking that when
you're a parent of an influencer, now this is a tightrope.
This is a subset that they're great people. Jody is
a great woman.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
She's making her going through her day doing her own thing,
and all their friends and family know that their kids
like what is body blue family thing?

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Have you seen that her latest post Bonnie Blues one,
she's saying, this is how much I make a month.
And you'd be amazed at how much money she makes.
And I'm still thinking that's still cheap, isn't it? Like
in your life? Is that what you're doing? You know?
I know I've got a twenty eight year old daughter.
If she was doing that, I don't know, I'd be
overly happier and.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Get the influence.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Don't think I'd be following handing out the Bella Clavis.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
And yeah, the influencer could easily say, hey, mom and dad,
this is my own business. Many parents are supportive of
them no matter what.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
They no judge. And that's what I had a bit
of shame, and I thought, like a lot of people
in this business have causes, and I thought, well, maybe
I should be well speaking on the behalf of parents
of social media influences. And I've got a campaign. Hi,
I'm Brendan Jones. You might remember me from.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Such shows as this one.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
I'm here to talk on behalf of parents of social
media influences. They've raised you, they've nurched you, they've turned
a blind eye to questionable tattoos. All they want from
you in return is your love and not to make
a dick of yourself on a reality TV show. Absolutely
remember influences. You have parents too, That's my thing, Okay,
