Speaker 1 (00:00):
On Canberras hit one or four point seven.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's Roden Gabby Thrat.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
All right, welcome to Thursday.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
That feels like Friday.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Oh it's a Friday. Is Thursday? You've every it was
a Friday Tuesday, to be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Wherever you're joining us across the greatest city in the world,
and the countdown is on one hundred days.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
That's not a Christmas song.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
No, So that's way less than a hundred days to Christmas.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
What's it one hundred days too?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I am so fired up now that we're within one
hundred days for the Winter Olympic Games.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Do you know what I've been really loving. There's all
these videos that keep popping up on my Instagram of
athletes training in a gym for different winter athletic sports
and the way that they train because these Winter Olympic
sports are like really unique, so the way they train
is so wacky. And they put this video up they're like,
what do you think he's training for? And he's like
(01:01):
doing this weird like weightlifting, but out to the front,
like real quick, out to the front, right, And that's
for the bob.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Sled because they've got to push their sleep.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Yeah, and like different things like that.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
It's real fun.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
They're different things, I think. When so this is going
to be what early fab right, one hundred days six
something like that, I think for our coverage, and none
of us have discussed this.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
So let's call this a live brainstorm.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
But the thing with Australia is we've struggled to get
into it because a lot of parts of Australia we
can't relate. None of us walked to school in the snow,
none of us had to ski somewhere to get something done.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
It's just we just can't relate.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
And so in an effort to make it more relatable,
can I suggest we perform the show from inside the
freezer at a bottle shop. No brainstorm, that's how that brainstorms.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Forty degree day shop.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Sure it will be there will be forty degree days.
It will be February sixth.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Okay, sure, it doesn't mean that we're gonna be in
there for three hours.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
No no no, no, no no no no no, I'll go
in it out.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Let me tell you, sory, guys, heading A second.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Really interesting thing happened in the game, So the Hannah
seven Sukuk. This is why we need to we need
to flesh the idea you're ours.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
I prefer to do it in an ice skating rink
or something at least that's a little like you can
move around and get warm.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
We will get we'll get merch. Alright, you know I'm
coming around, I get warm jacket.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I mean, we'll rug up like we're at the Winter Olympics,
is my point. So you rug up, the beani, the scarf,
we can bearings.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
We can do this.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
You are creating a recipe for sickness from going from
forty degrees to minus twenty back to.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Forty's A challenge of the Wind Olympics is to obviously
make it okay.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
All right, I agree, as long as the bottle of stocked.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
They're not going to empty the bottlow for us.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
And probably the way we get it off the ground,
we'll get you there. It's the only way we'll actually
get a commercial partner to go. No way, you need
to mention our bottler every five minutes though. All right,
it is on the camp down. Do you even know
where they are?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
In Italy, We're going, Oh great, We're going to Mallatt.
It's going to be beautiful. The villages in the north
of Italy. And the timing is interesting.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I've done all this research now that I've learned for
one hundred days now, so it's it's what's.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Time now here. It's six o'clock here, which means it's
eight pm last night there.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Oh, this is going to happen overnight for us.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
No, so it means yes, okay, So any downhill and
anything outside depending on what they're doing in lighting, I
don't know, but a lot of the speed skating, which
of course Australia's favorite Winter Olympic event, the speeds absolutely,
and any of the things that will be happening indoors.
The finals will be now abouts and we'll be in
the bottle shop.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
It'll be it'll be a games cheer on amever. So
I'm in right.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
We've got one hundred days to sort this out.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Gabe, he's got one hundred days to get out of this.
This is Rongaddy rapped on cameras four point seven. We
talk a lot too, and about young content creators because
we've got a huge audience that you know, once upon
a time, generations ago, when you were asked what do
you want to do when you grow up?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
The answer was an astronaut that was number one.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah in twenty twenty five, going into twenty twenty six,
the answer.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Is content creator, absolutely, and.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
We are so privileged to have a TikTok Creator of
the Year nominee three million followers across the platforms and Assie.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Go done good.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You'll know exactly who I'm talking about, because she would
just pop up no matter really.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
What your niche, genre or is, or whatever the algorithm
is pushing you.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, she finds a way into everyone's stream. Maddie McCrae,
good morning, Congratulations, this is going fantastically.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Good morning, Thank you. That what a fabulous intro.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Well, what a fabulous effort.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
In I suppose a space where everyone was trying to
make everything everything look perfect. You went, I'm going to
go one hundred and eighty degrees and look real, and
everyone loved it.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Yeah. Yeah, I guess that's my aim with content is
to really kind of highlight that not everything so picture perfect.
I think that's a big trend that we see online,
is that everyone's trying to make everything look perfect. But
I just want to celebrate kind of like the real, relatable,
messy side of being a being an adult, being a human.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yes, and you happen to be particularly hilarious at it
as well.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
So funny.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I did see a video you put up the other
day though, saying that you know, you became famous from
your funny videos, and you've lost a little bit of
that passion to make original content. What happened there?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Look, I think that it's just been like a really
it's been a really great time for me online. But
being a content creator, you're making content by yourself all
the time. And I think when I started, which was
in COVID, I think it was perfectly acceptable to just
pick up a phone and film, And now I'm going, well, what.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Am I doing?
Speaker 5 (06:22):
I don't know what's happening and kind of losing that
kind of inner inspiration. And I've had some really great
opportunities this year which have been fantastic, but I kind
of wanted to just return to my roots, which I
have done in the last few weeks, which has been
really exciting, just to kind of remind myself why I
do it, I want what I want to get out
of it. I've had a lot of my audience reach
out to be like, we just love how relatable you
(06:42):
are and how you don't kind of like make it
so perfect and you're messy and kind of just needed
to remind myself why I do it, which I'm starting
to find that stuck again.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
For all the people that are listening the dream, they
go to work, they do that job to pay for passion,
and then go home and get on the grind with
you know, creating content. You have brought up an interesting point.
I mean, like every job, at a certain point, it
can become the grind, is it, I guess linked with
the isolating nature of being an individual content creator?
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Oh? Absolutely, it can be an incredibly isolating job. And
I've chatted to a couple of other creators in the
same sense, because you know, we are making this content
on our own and we are social or social beings,
and so yeah, definitely that has had an impact. But
I'm doing putting in a lot of effort to kind
of make those connections with other creators in the world.
(07:38):
So it's yeah, it's been a big learning curve this
year to kind of remind myself that it doesn't have
to be perfect because I'm also I'm also very much
influenced by what I see online. It's the way that
I like to unwind is to is to watch content.
And I'm definitely influenced by these what I Eat in
(07:58):
the Day videos and these perfect skincare routines, and I'm
definitely influenced by that as well. So that's how it
impact on me. So I have to remind myself that
life isn't that perfect and it's okay to kind of
celebrate that messy real side. And I partnered with You
Foods recently, which was a really great partnership, and I
(08:19):
got to make a kind of a twist on a trend.
So there's a trend that's been happening or you might
have seen in the last year, which is the tradwife trend.
You got to kind of put my own spin on
it and kind.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Of you're not tradwifey at all.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
No, definitely not, you know, and my meals when I
make them are not pretty, like I never really put
them online. So it was really great to partner with
You Foods to kind of make this a kind of
fun twist on the tridwife trend to talk about their
ready to eat meals. So that was a really fun
trend to jump on and to kind of make my
own and to remind everyone that not everything is picture
(08:56):
perfect like we see on social media. They actually did
a study recently where one in four Aussies feel pressured
to create picture perfect meals like what they see on
social media, and it actually jumps to foury one percent
for eighteen to twenty four year olds. So that's kind
of like our youngest audience or our young adult audience
(09:16):
that's on social media. They feel really pressured to create
this picture perfect lifestyle because that's the content that we're
getting served online. And so it was really great to
kind of push that notion that it's not that perfect.
We are most of us, not me because I'm a
social media creator, but a lot of us are pressed
for time to make these picture perfect meals. You know,
(09:38):
we've wrote nine to five jobs like how are we
going to create these crazy picture perfect meals that we
see on social media? So your Foods were a really
great brand to partner with to kind of remind us
that it doesn't have to look that way.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
You've said you've been influenced a lot by different people
and different content creators and different content on socials. There's
one thing that you did that absolutely did not influence
me because you were doing a reno or a little
DIY refresh of your house, and while doing so, you
had the audio book of a romance novel playing. And
(10:13):
I refuse to do audio books for romance novels because
I find it's so uncomfortable people reading out the love
scenes within those books.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
It's just so gride it's actually insane. I've only just
gotten into audiobooks this year, and also romanticy as a genre. Yes,
but yes, the video that you're talking about is I've
discovered what's called a graphic audio book. Yeah, yeah, audible doo.
So it's not just reading out the description from the novel.
You're also getting sound effects. And at the time when
(10:47):
I was interested in this dragon book, I was thinking, oh,
this is rawls and sword fights. Not to mention that
there are some spicy scenes, but you're also getting kissing
sound effects and moans and it's very confronting. And I
played it on full speaker while I was painting my apartment.
So my poor neighbors, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Because they think you've got a pretty good thing going.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Like wow, Maddy again, but the look than I am
on a Tuesday, they must.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Be confused because so much of your content. Is you
playing opposite you so we won't.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Oh yeah, sometimes I'm just like clip clopping across my apartment.
I'm a professional upstairs neighbor. That's my job actually, because
I do these videos where I do this like catwalk
entrance inside the stomach. That's what I kind of first
went inside the stomach videos, and that all of the
food enter the stomach in this kind of slow moo catwalk.
(11:40):
Not but I mean people watching the video wouldn't know
that I'm doing that take over and over and over again,
walking in and out, in and out and in and out.
So I'm hate you. I hope they don't. I just
moved in here. Guys have nice I swear.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Well, it looks effortless online, and isn't that interesting? The
not so perfect, the ruff and ready or certainly the
rough around the edges philosophy still requires tremendous effort. And that's,
you know, led to such incredible consistency with the content
that you're creating.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
As I said before, it's just so funny and so smart.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
You've You've got millions of people around the world that
love your stuff. We look forward to you coming and
saying gooday in Canberra at some point and in the meantime,
we'll just see you on the scroll.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Thank you so much, love be to chat with you guys.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
This is Ron Gabby rapped on camera.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Four point seven.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Thursday is fast becoming my favorite day because that's the
day that we get a Robert Irwin dance, because Dance
with the Star is happening in the States, so it
happens overnight and of a Thursday morning, we wake up
to news as to how Robert Irwin went to the
night before, what he danced, what he wore, how he
was scored. It's my favorite time of the week.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
You love him for all the reasons, all the reasons.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Don't know wherever you're listening, whether or not you've seen
it yet, you will see it. It's going to be
on the news all day and it's gonna be on
the socials. Gabbe, you've already sort it out.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And I had to understand.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
He's added even another reason again to love him.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Yeah, well, especially for us millennial emos because he performed
in Argentinian tango and I think it must have been
a Halloween.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Themed night, this Halloween theme last night.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Yeah, and so he was dressed as like a dark
vampire esque type character. In the dance, he brings his
dance partner to life, and then they dance together and
then she breaks his neck. Beautiful dance. He got a
great score. It was like thirty eight out of forty,
which means he got a ten from one of the judges.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Watches phenomenal. What's the female spider that? After the Black Widow?
The Black Widow?
Speaker 4 (13:47):
After they mate, they they killed their partner.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
You love the black Widow and to see the extension
of that in dance, it's a beautiful dance and then
he gets his neck broken.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Loved it. I loved him looking like a vampire. I
don't even better now that he's gone.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Love the most, my little emo heart sang. When there
was a close up of Robert Irwin and he had
some guyliner on.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Here we go buncing the Argentine tanger with his partner
Whitney Cusson.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
It's Robert Erwin.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Look at the guyliner.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
The guyliner.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I'm so sexy, I might add, you really do need
to be a pretty handsome fellow to pull off the guyliner.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
It makes you handsome, Okay, I.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Went to my friend's ar twelve formal. It was his
Queen Yan High year twelve formal, and I brought the
eyeliner and Mike, I think you should wear some of this.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
You bang the eyeliner on, and as boys we go
along with whatever it was hot.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I'm sure he looks back on the photos fondly. I'm
sure he does. What's a song Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Meryl Manson is right? No, it's not by Meryl Manson.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
If you scroll down, I think it actually tells you
what the song is Hampton, So Dreams have made it.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
This is not.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Marilyn Manson anyway. It's the dancing's very good. We're not focusing,
we're looking him utter the guyliner here, snap, did you
hear that? Yeah? You rhythmics?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It's fine, Oh okay, great, Marilyn Manson did a great cover.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Okay, so that was Halloween theme. And once again, I
think we're just getting very used to amazing him dancing
like a professional dancer.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Supposedly he's dating one of the troop dancers that are
they're on.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Set to Why not?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I mean exactly, I don't see where he's got time
to if you're a professional dancer or not, the amount
of work that goes into these performances and the.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Focus you with your guyliner and you're.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Leading guys astray, making them do stuff, breaking their necks.
I hope this girl that he's paired up with is
a better influence than you would have been.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
This is Rongaby rats on cameras four point seven.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
It's time for Unexpected Ornament of Beliek.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
And this is if you've got kids. You know what happens.
You look at that tree and you go, what's that
doing in there? It's an unexpected ornament?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
And produce a Chelsea. You're here to warn us of
an unexpected ornament of the week.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yes, well, I can bring one of these every week
if you'd like, because I'm on the ornament hunt. I
am looking for every different ornament I can get to
put on my Christmas tree, first Christmas tree of my
own this year. So what's the theme. I'm doing? Like
just traditional Christmas green and green and red.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
White, but of ornaments you're looking at, like the holly
and the like just baballs.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
I do like just ballballs, but I kind of want
it to be a bit extra as well, with like
some random ones on there.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
I've got like a little clip on birds go on.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Mine, anything with the string or anything that is technically
a key ring.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yeah that's true.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Yes, well, okay, today's is very unexpected and I actually
don't know if I'll have this one on my tree,
but if you are a fan of this, then you
definitely will have it on your tree. This was there's
actually at Woolworths, which is random as well, but not
random when you find out we were like a good
wreath for my door.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Oh please have a good wreath.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Yeah, it's like a bable wreath.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Oh wow uh okay. So this ornament five dollars and
it is a mini version of Woolwart's iconic chocolate cake.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yes it is. You've got a little mudcake.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Like a pavl over. Maybe you're not getting a chocolate
budcake for Christmas Day, so it's iconic.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Missing out on Christmas Day is what I'm hearing. More
miniature chocolate cake for us. You're talking about a normal
sized chocolate cake. Fantastic, And so it's actually designed to
be a proper ornament.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yees.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
So it's in the plastic like container that it comes in,
and it looks like exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Oh oh oh, so it's got to see through lid
over the chocolate.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Cake, like the label and everything.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Hah huh.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Is it the same price as a chocolate cake, Probably yeah,
which is about the prices a budcake.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Maybe more expensive actually,
On Canberras hit one or four point seven.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's Roden Gabby Thrat.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
All right, welcome to Thursday.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
That feels like Friday.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Oh it's a Friday. Is Thursday? You've every it was
a Friday Tuesday, to be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Wherever you're joining us across the greatest city in the world,
and the countdown is on one hundred days.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
That's not a Christmas song.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
No, So that's way less than a hundred days to Christmas.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
What's it one hundred days too?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I am so fired up now that we're within one
hundred days for the Winter Olympic Games.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Do you know what I've been really loving. There's all
these videos that keep popping up on my Instagram of
athletes training in a gym for different winter athletic sports
and the way that they train because these Winter Olympic
sports are like really unique, so the way they train
is so wacky. And they put this video up they're like,
what do you think he's training for? And he's like
(01:01):
doing this weird like weightlifting, but out to the front,
like real quick, out to the front, right, And that's
for the bob.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Sled because they've got to push their sleep.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Yeah, and like different things like that.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
It's real fun.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
They're different things, I think. When so this is going
to be what early fab right, one hundred days six
something like that, I think for our coverage, and none
of us have discussed this.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
So let's call this a live brainstorm.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
But the thing with Australia is we've struggled to get

Sure it will be there will be forty degree days.
It will be February sixth.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Okay, sure, it doesn't mean that we're gonna be in
there for three hours.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
No no no, no, no no no no no, I'll go
in it out.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Let me tell you, sory, guys, heading A second.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Really interesting thing happened in the game, So the Hannah
seven Sukuk. This is why we need to we need
to flesh the idea you're ours.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
I prefer to do it in an ice skating rink
or something at least that's a little like you can
move around and get warm.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
We will get we'll get merch. Alright, you know I'm
coming around, I get warm jacket.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I mean, we'll rug up like we're at the Winter Olympics,
is my point. So you rug up, the beani, the scarf,
we can bearings.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
We can do this.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
You are creating a recipe for sickness from going from
forty degrees to minus twenty back to.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Forty's A challenge of the Wind Olympics is to obviously
make it okay.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
All right, I agree, as long as the bottle of stocked.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
They're not going to empty the bottlow for us.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
And probably the way we get it off the ground,
we'll get you there. It's the only way we'll actually
get a commercial partner to go. No way, you need
to mention our bottler every five minutes though. All right,
it is on the camp down. Do you even know
where they are?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
In Italy, We're going, Oh great, We're going to Mallatt.
It's going to be beautiful. The villages in the north
of Italy. And the timing is interesting.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I've done all this research now that I've learned for
one hundred days now, so it's it's what's.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Time now here. It's six o'clock here, which means it's
eight pm last night there.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Oh, this is going to happen overnight for us.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
No, so it means yes, okay, So any downhill and
anything outside depending on what they're doing in lighting, I
don't know, but a lot of the speed skating, which
of course Australia's favorite Winter Olympic event, the speeds absolutely,
and any of the things that will be happening indoors.
The finals will be now abouts and we'll be in
the bottle shop.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
It'll be it'll be a games cheer on amever. So
I'm in right.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
We've got one hundred days to sort this out.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Gabe, he's got one hundred days to get out of this.
This is Rongaddy rapped on cameras four point seven. We
talk a lot too, and about young content creators because
we've got a huge audience that you know, once upon
a time, generations ago, when you were asked what do
you want to do when you grow up?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
The answer was an astronaut that was number one.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah in twenty twenty five, going into twenty twenty six,
the answer.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Is content creator, absolutely, and.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
We are so privileged to have a TikTok Creator of
the Year nominee three million followers across the platforms and Assie.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Go done good.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You'll know exactly who I'm talking about, because she would
just pop up no matter really.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
What your niche, genre or is, or whatever the algorithm
is pushing you.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, she finds a way into everyone's stream. Maddie McCrae,
good morning, Congratulations, this is going fantastically.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Good morning, Thank you. That what a fabulous intro.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Well, what a fabulous effort.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
In I suppose a space where everyone was trying to
make everything everything look perfect. You went, I'm going to
go one hundred and eighty degrees and look real, and
everyone loved it.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Yeah. Yeah, I guess that's my aim with content is
to really kind of highlight that not everything so picture perfect.
I think that's a big trend that we see online,
is that everyone's trying to make everything look perfect. But
I just want to celebrate kind of like the real, relatable,
messy side of being a being an adult, being a human.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yes, and you happen to be particularly hilarious at it
as well.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
So funny.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I did see a video you put up the other
day though, saying that you know, you became famous from
your funny videos, and you've lost a little bit of
that passion to make original content. What happened there?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Look, I think that it's just been like a really
it's been a really great time for me online. But
being a content creator, you're making content by yourself all
the time. And I think when I started, which was
in COVID, I think it was perfectly acceptable to just
pick up a phone and film, And now I'm going, well, what.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Am I doing?
Speaker 5 (06:22):
I don't know what's happening and kind of losing that
kind of inner inspiration. And I've had some really great
opportunities this year which have been fantastic, but I kind
of wanted to just return to my roots, which I
have done in the last few weeks, which has been
really exciting, just to kind of remind myself why I
do it, I want what I want to get out
of it. I've had a lot of my audience reach
out to be like, we just love how relatable you
(06:42):
are and how you don't kind of like make it
so perfect and you're messy and kind of just needed
to remind myself why I do it, which I'm starting
to find that stuck again.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
For all the people that are listening the dream, they
go to work, they do that job to pay for passion,
and then go home and get on the grind with
you know, creating content. You have brought up an interesting point.
I mean, like every job, at a certain point, it
can become the grind, is it, I guess linked with
the isolating nature of being an individual content creator?
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Oh? Absolutely, it can be an incredibly isolating job. And
I've chatted to a couple of other creators in the
same sense, because you know, we are making this content
on our own and we are social or social beings,
and so yeah, definitely that has had an impact. But
I'm doing putting in a lot of effort to kind
of make those connections with other creators in the world.
(07:38):
So it's yeah, it's been a big learning curve this
year to kind of remind myself that it doesn't have
to be perfect because I'm also I'm also very much
influenced by what I see online. It's the way that
I like to unwind is to is to watch content.
And I'm definitely influenced by these what I Eat in
(07:58):
the Day videos and these perfect skincare routines, and I'm
definitely influenced by that as well. So that's how it
impact on me. So I have to remind myself that
life isn't that perfect and it's okay to kind of
celebrate that messy real side. And I partnered with You
Foods recently, which was a really great partnership, and I
(08:19):
got to make a kind of a twist on a trend.
So there's a trend that's been happening or you might
have seen in the last year, which is the tradwife trend.
You got to kind of put my own spin on
it and kind.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Of you're not tradwifey at all.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
No, definitely not, you know, and my meals when I
make them are not pretty, like I never really put
them online. So it was really great to partner with
You Foods to kind of make this a kind of
fun twist on the tridwife trend to talk about their
ready to eat meals. So that was a really fun
trend to jump on and to kind of make my
own and to remind everyone that not everything is picture
(08:56):
perfect like we see on social media. They actually did
a study recently where one in four Aussies feel pressured
to create picture perfect meals like what they see on
social media, and it actually jumps to foury one percent
for eighteen to twenty four year olds. So that's kind
of like our youngest audience or our young adult audience
(09:16):
that's on social media. They feel really pressured to create
this picture perfect lifestyle because that's the content that we're
getting served online. And so it was really great to
kind of push that notion that it's not that perfect.
We are most of us, not me because I'm a
social media creator, but a lot of us are pressed
for time to make these picture perfect meals. You know,
(09:38):
we've wrote nine to five jobs like how are we
going to create these crazy picture perfect meals that we
see on social media? So your Foods were a really
great brand to partner with to kind of remind us
that it doesn't have to look that way.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
You've said you've been influenced a lot by different people
and different content creators and different content on socials. There's
one thing that you did that absolutely did not influence
me because you were doing a reno or a little
DIY refresh of your house, and while doing so, you
had the audio book of a romance novel playing. And
(10:13):
I refuse to do audio books for romance novels because
I find it's so uncomfortable people reading out the love
scenes within those books.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
It's just so gride it's actually insane. I've only just
gotten into audiobooks this year, and also romanticy as a genre. Yes,
but yes, the video that you're talking about is I've
discovered what's called a graphic audio book. Yeah, yeah, audible doo.
So it's not just reading out the description from the novel.
You're also getting sound effects. And at the time when
(10:47):
I was interested in this dragon book, I was thinking, oh,
this is rawls and sword fights. Not to mention that
there are some spicy scenes, but you're also getting kissing
sound effects and moans and it's very confronting. And I
played it on full speaker while I was painting my apartment.
So my poor neighbors, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Because they think you've got a pretty good thing going.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Like wow, Maddy again, but the look than I am
on a Tuesday, they must.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Be confused because so much of your content. Is you
playing opposite you so we won't.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Oh yeah, sometimes I'm just like clip clopping across my apartment.
I'm a professional upstairs neighbor. That's my job actually, because
I do these videos where I do this like catwalk
entrance inside the stomach. That's what I kind of first
went inside the stomach videos, and that all of the
food enter the stomach in this kind of slow moo catwalk.
(11:40):
Not but I mean people watching the video wouldn't know
that I'm doing that take over and over and over again,
walking in and out, in and out and in and out.
So I'm hate you. I hope they don't. I just
moved in here. Guys have nice I swear.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Well, it looks effortless online, and isn't that interesting? The
not so perfect, the ruff and ready or certainly the
rough around the edges philosophy still requires tremendous effort. And that's,
you know, led to such incredible consistency with the content
that you're creating.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
As I said before, it's just so funny and so smart.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
You've You've got millions of people around the world that
love your stuff. We look forward to you coming and
saying gooday in Canberra at some point and in the meantime,
we'll just see you on the scroll.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Thank you so much, love be to chat with you guys.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
This is Ron Gabby rapped on camera.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Four point seven.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Thursday is fast becoming my favorite day because that's the
day that we get a Robert Irwin dance, because Dance
with the Star is happening in the States, so it
happens overnight and of a Thursday morning, we wake up
to news as to how Robert Irwin went to the
night before, what he danced, what he wore, how he
was scored. It's my favorite time of the week.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
You love him for all the reasons, all the reasons.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Don't know wherever you're listening, whether or not you've seen
it yet, you will see it. It's going to be
on the news all day and it's gonna be on
the socials. Gabbe, you've already sort it out.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And I had to understand.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
He's added even another reason again to love him.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Yeah, well, especially for us millennial emos because he performed
in Argentinian tango and I think it must have been
a Halloween.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Themed night, this Halloween theme last night.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Yeah, and so he was dressed as like a dark
vampire esque type character. In the dance, he brings his
dance partner to life, and then they dance together and
then she breaks his neck. Beautiful dance. He got a
great score. It was like thirty eight out of forty,
which means he got a ten from one of the judges.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Watches phenomenal. What's the female spider that? After the Black Widow?
The Black Widow?
Speaker 4 (13:47):
After they mate, they they killed their partner.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
You love the black Widow and to see the extension
of that in dance, it's a beautiful dance and then
he gets his neck broken.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Loved it. I loved him looking like a vampire. I
don't even better now that he's gone.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Love the most, my little emo heart sang. When there
was a close up of Robert Irwin and he had
some guyliner on.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Here we go buncing the Argentine tanger with his partner
Whitney Cusson.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
It's Robert Erwin.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Look at the guyliner.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
The guyliner.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I'm so sexy, I might add, you really do need
to be a pretty handsome fellow to pull off the guyliner.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
It makes you handsome, Okay, I.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Went to my friend's ar twelve formal. It was his
Queen Yan High year twelve formal, and I brought the
eyeliner and Mike, I think you should wear some of this.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
You bang the eyeliner on, and as boys we go
along with whatever it was hot.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I'm sure he looks back on the photos fondly. I'm
sure he does. What's a song Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Meryl Manson is right? No, it's not by Meryl Manson.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
If you scroll down, I think it actually tells you
what the song is Hampton, So Dreams have made it.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
This is not.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Marilyn Manson anyway. It's the dancing's very good. We're not focusing,
we're looking him utter the guyliner here, snap, did you
hear that? Yeah? You rhythmics?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It's fine, Oh okay, great, Marilyn Manson did a great cover.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Okay, so that was Halloween theme. And once again, I
think we're just getting very used to amazing him dancing
like a professional dancer.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Supposedly he's dating one of the troop dancers that are
they're on.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Set to Why not?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I mean exactly, I don't see where he's got time
to if you're a professional dancer or not, the amount
of work that goes into these performances and the.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Focus you with your guyliner and you're.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Leading guys astray, making them do stuff, breaking their necks.
I hope this girl that he's paired up with is
a better influence than you would have been.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
This is Rongaby rats on cameras four point seven.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
It's time for Unexpected Ornament of Beliek.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
And this is if you've got kids. You know what happens.
You look at that tree and you go, what's that
doing in there? It's an unexpected ornament?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
And produce a Chelsea. You're here to warn us of
an unexpected ornament of the week.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yes, well, I can bring one of these every week
if you'd like, because I'm on the ornament hunt. I
am looking for every different ornament I can get to
put on my Christmas tree, first Christmas tree of my
own this year. So what's the theme. I'm doing? Like
just traditional Christmas green and green and red.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
White, but of ornaments you're looking at, like the holly
and the like just baballs.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
I do like just ballballs, but I kind of want
it to be a bit extra as well, with like
some random ones on there.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
I've got like a little clip on birds go on.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Mine, anything with the string or anything that is technically
a key ring.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yeah that's true.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Yes, well, okay, today's is very unexpected and I actually
don't know if I'll have this one on my tree,
but if you are a fan of this, then you
definitely will have it on your tree. This was there's
actually at Woolworths, which is random as well, but not
random when you find out we were like a good
wreath for my door.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Oh please have a good wreath.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Yeah, it's like a bable wreath.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Oh wow uh okay. So this ornament five dollars and
it is a mini version of Woolwart's iconic chocolate cake.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yes it is. You've got a little mudcake.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Like a pavl over. Maybe you're not getting a chocolate
budcake for Christmas Day, so it's iconic.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Missing out on Christmas Day is what I'm hearing. More
miniature chocolate cake for us. You're talking about a normal
sized chocolate cake. Fantastic, And so it's actually designed to
be a proper ornament.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yees.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
So it's in the plastic like container that it comes in,
and it looks like exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Oh oh oh, so it's got to see through lid
over the chocolate.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Cake, like the label and everything.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Hah huh.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Is it the same price as a chocolate cake, Probably yeah,
which is about the prices a budcake.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Maybe more expensive actually,
