• 1:12
  Speaker 4: we were like, all right, we're better do a few more.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Well, I will say, because there's a couple of tickets
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: left for a few of the shows, right, most of
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: them are sold out.
• 1:22

• 1:39
  Speaker 3: bit more.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: No, no, yeah, it was the wildest crowd.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Like when I walked out on stage for this tour
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: the first night in Brisbane, I was like, I feel
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: like Taylor Swift. They're screaming screen. It was crazy. So
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: I love a Brisbane audience.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, we were lucky enough to see your show
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: in Sydney when you did the first round of the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: tour earlier this year, and it was so fucking funny.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I feel like, well, we say that every time you
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: do a show, but every time you just elevate it
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: again and again, and I feel like you definitely could
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: hear us cackling from.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: The oh for sure, I can always spot you from
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: the crowd. It is hilarious. And thank you as well
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: for always supporting and coming to my show and showing
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: up for me because it doesn't go out notice and
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: for that, honestly, there's so many who don't.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: We will make sure to put a link in the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: show notes for where you can grab tickets because there
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: are a couple of.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Shows, thank you. Yeah, I mean there's We're also doing
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: some regionals as well, like Tamworth, Coffs, Harbor, Bendy Go Geelong,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: like I'm going back home to the Central Coast if
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: you want to come out and have a really camp night.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: The shows bring Back Clamor it's all about how ugly
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: the world is right now, and you know, it's a
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: very political show about the rise of conservative right wing
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: and how we need to bring back glamour because the
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: world's getting too ugly for my liking, and so I
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: teach everyone how to do that.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I love that. That's such and it's such a beautiful
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: like premise of the show. It's such a beautiful like thing.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: And then you're just funny as fuck and like it's.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Like it's a very earnest but then the actual show
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: is fucking diabolic. Yeah, so yeah, it's so funny.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: But now we've got that out.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Of the way.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Very important up top, first, should we get into our tea.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so kick us off. What's the tea?
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, the tea is Have you seen that for the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: last like five or six days, Zy Larson has been
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: doing the midnight Sun Dance until she sells out her
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Bangkok show.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, but I.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: Haven't looked into what's actually happening with the Bangkok show.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: I'm assuming it's not selling very well.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So essentially that is what's happened, because I think that,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: like her Sydney show sold out straight away. I think
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: quite a few of her shows for this tour have
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: sold out very very quickly. Yeah. I think she's had
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: like a run of really good sold out shows. Yeah yeah,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and then for some reason, the Bangkok show isn't selling
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: very well. So yeah, so she's been jumping on TikTok
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: just like unabashedly being like.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Doing this dance until the tickets sell.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people have kind of
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: been clapping back in the comments, being like, well they're
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: not selling.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Well because it's too expensive.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: How much are the tickets?
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: So I had a look, and the standard tickets range
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: from approximately one hundred and nineteen to one hundred and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: sixty six Australian dollars okay, which if you think about it,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: like one hundred and twenty dollars being start Gaga, I.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Mean, I know we're talking fifty yeah.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: But yeah, but I'm like, I don't know what Gaga is,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: like starting price would have been, whereas like one hundred
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and twenty dollars for the starting ticket is pretty expensive.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: However, I do think that if.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: You compare that across yeah, shows like touring at the moment,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that is kind of a par And the thing is,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure you're going to get into this, from what.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: I've seen, never been to, is that a gunzit? But
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: from what I've seen online, it's a production. Like she
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: has heaps of dances and like heaps of lights and
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: costume changes and all of that.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, surely that comes into costing. Yeah exactly, Well that
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: was kind of what she was saying. So people were
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: clapping back in the comments. And I love her because
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: she's just chronically online. Yeah, like so she's always like
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: if anybody is ever referencing her and it goes virale,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: She's always in the comments like hey, and she actually
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: like talks back to or speaks to her audience and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: her fans, yeah, and her fans and somebody yeah did
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: point out like, well, girls, because we can't afford it,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: the tickets are too expensive, And her response to one
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: of these comments was, I agree. I don't want my
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: tickets to be too pricey, and I will definitely see
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: what I can do about that. But right now in
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: my career, I'm definitely not making big bucks on touring.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: It's basically a nonprofit at this point.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Everything that I make goes into paying people, transportation, production,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: et cetera.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Which I was like, I think that is the.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Thing that a lot of people don't realize because for
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: some artists, touring and merchandise are definitely big money makers
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: for them because we I think a lot of us
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: do know that streaming, especially for music, like streaming music,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you don't actually get that much money from that. So
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: but I've heard you speak about this, Matt, and like,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: what do you think when you hear people, you know,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: critiquing whether it's like a Zara Larson or Harry Styles
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: or whoever it is, on.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Like the cost of concert tickets at the moment.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Well, I always say that if I wanted to be rich,
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: I would not do comedy shows. There is no money
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: in touring, and I haven't heard her say that whole
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: like it's basically a non for profit right now, and
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: I'm like, that is me right now. And it's one
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: of those funny things because it's almost like the bigger
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: you go and the more shows you do, the less
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: money you make. Like my last to a Dancing Queen
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: was really successful. We did like fifteen shows around the
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: country and they all sold out and I made good money.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Like it wasn't great. If, as I said, if I
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: wanted to make money, I wouldn't do the shows at all.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: I just do sponsored videos or things like that. But
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: then with this tour, we've gone from we're gonna do
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: thirty seven shows all up, so we've almost rippled the
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: amount of shows and I'm probably gonna make less money
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: than the time before. And then things like merch. I
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: look at doing merch and things like that, and the
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: process one is so time consuming, especially for me, like
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Zara last night, I mean, she would have like a
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: bigger team behind her, you know, doing all the logistics
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: of this, but like for me, there's just a small
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: team kind of doing this with me. And the fact was,
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: if I was to lug all the merch all around
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: the country, which so many people want it. They all
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: want They said, we would have bought a shirt if
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: you had a shirt, and I love hearing that, but
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: it's like, well, when I make my thirty three cents
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: off the T shirt that you've got, it's like not
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: worth my time to pay the shipping fees to and
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: from venues, or even just adding on another suitcase and
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: like taking it in a suitcase on the plane. Maybe
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: I don't know, God forbid that goes missing. Like there's
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: a lot to worry about, and so costs really do
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: add up, but you just can't look at it like that.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: I'm sure Zara probably sees this as well, the same
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: as I do. Is that my shows are away for
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: my audience to connect with me on a deeper level,
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: on a different level, and it's about making that connection
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: with my audience, giving them something that they don't get online.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: And you know, it's all good and well to like
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: listen to Zara's music all the time, but seeing a
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: person in concert is like it's worth every dollar in
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: my opinion, like that. I mean, look at when I
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: did the Kylie minogue to around the country. I was
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: spending seven hundred and fifty dollars per ticket on some
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: of them to be front row obviously and get like
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: the VIP package. And everyone's heard that story a million
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: billion times. But I went to every show in the
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: country of Kylie Minogue because I'm such a big fan
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: and I'd saved up for years to go, and I
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: really wanted to meet and greet, but she didn't do
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: them because it was just stuff for the pandemic, and
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: so people aren't really doing meet and greets at all
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: these days. I don't think. Yeah, I was hoping for
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: events and Boone meet and greet, but god, you probably
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: heard I had one and said to cancel that guarantee.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Have you seen the video of him in the
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Spider Man mask?
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Of course I have too many times.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Video so long and I was like, shut up.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: I was like, I love Spider Man and he's like, oh,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Tom Holden. I was like, yeah, definitely not. Oh.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: I love when Benson gets his ads out. It's a
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: good day, Like he.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Doesn't flip and that land in the Spider Man.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because he's a real flippity dippity.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: He gets flippery dippity righting.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Expensive just for the insurance on him all those treats. Well,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: I think imagine pink, you know, flying around the abbey.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: The public liability insurance would be through the roof deal
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: because I have to pay insurance for my shows, and
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: it works out to be a couple of dollars like
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: per ticket, right, and then at the end of the
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: day and then you have to like also get a
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: public liability insurance license sort of thing. I don't know
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: how it works. I just pay you what I need
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: to pay. That's it. But it's funny where you select
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: what kind of things you do. And I noticed, because
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: obviously I've been getting it for about five years now,
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: I noticed last time I signed up they've added a
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: new one. They said, please look at our new categories
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: of things that you're doing on stage, and they've added
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: bubble blowing. So someone's been popped in the eye or
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: maybe slipped on a bit of detergent on the floor.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know, but bubble blowing has been added. Because
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: you have for anyone who doesn't know you, tick what
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: you do on stage, and then they tell you the
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: price of what your insurance is.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Confetti technique, if your.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Sword swallowing on stage obviously your insurance is probably higher
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: than fine when I just stand there with a microphone.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: So but yeah, there's all those little costs, and I
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: think anyone I've always been that person that's like, anyone
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: can charge anything for anything they put out into the world.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: If Zarah Larson thinks she's worth seven hundred dollars a ticket,
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: she has every right to do that. And if people
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: want to pay it or not want to pay it,
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: then that's up to them. But yeah, I don't don't
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: don't call me an out of touch influencer, but like,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: I just think, like one hundred and twenty bucks Australian
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: is not that expensive for a concert.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I agree with you.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: I think it's everyone's own prerogative of what they want
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: to spend. And I've seen the videos of her concerts
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: and it's a whole shebang. Yeah, and her live talent
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: is incredible.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's the thing.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I can understand though, that some people do
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: think that that do think that's out of their grass,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and I think we are seeing that. Like there's this
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: thing called blue Dot fever, and it refers to the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: amount of concerts that have had to be canceled because
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: tickets aren't selling. Like, I don't know if you saw,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: but Megan Trainer canceled her.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Pussycat Dolls also post malone.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: So like people who are still relatively current as well,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: look it.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Not to be a nerd and bring it back, but like,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: look at I think in this last year we had
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: three Australian musicals canceled Waitress, Beetlejuice, and there was another
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: one that I can't remember that it's run was sure. Yeah,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: it's like there's definitely.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Going to be money love you know, No, it's going
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: to be money at the moment. And I guess, like
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty dollars is groceries for someone for
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: well maybe not even to be honest, every time I
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: do the grocery, they go, oh my god, I'm eating
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: for one person because Sky, my partner, is a vegetarian,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: so we cooked totally separate meals. We don't really cook
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: anything together. And every time I do the groceries, I'm like,
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: this is for one person. Yeah, I can't imagine raising
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: a family of all, you know.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: So yeah, like, oh, we've run out of cheese.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: I'm like, why is cheese so expensive? Let's unpacked that
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: I'm back on cheese stringers. By the way, we've got
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: to we've literally got cheese.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Are they plastic? Maybe? Do I care?
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: But and you know, they've got new flavors of the
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: cheese stringers now, so you can get tasty cheese stringers.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: So still the same string as brand, but they can
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: get up.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Do you remember the ad back in the nineties and
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: he has the hair for I loved him. Yeah he
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: was he had Yeah, the cheese, the cheese stringer guy.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: He sucks good.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Hed you can he be a quick fuck? Or would
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: he make love?
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: No? No, no, he'd be using his stringers. He'd be
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: like in the bondage and ship.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: No.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: I love it, I love it.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: I like you.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: But where were Tazara?
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I wanted to say on this though, is that I
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: think it's really cool to see her like trying. I
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: think this whole thing a bit like that it's like embarrassing,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: like not that I feel this way, but that it
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: would be embarrassing to be like, oh, my show hasn't
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: sold out, I'm going to try and sell tickets. And
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: I feel like I've seen, you know, people online be
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: trying to sell tickets and it's you know, they'll get
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: like like, oh, we didn't sell. Didn't tell that. I'm like,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: I actually think it's so commendable to be like my
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: show hasn't sold, but I want it to, so I'm
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: going to try. Yeah, exactly, like she's at least putting
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: herself out there, because I think that's some of the
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: things that people Then that's the thing, though, you can't
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: win because then there's other people like Megan Trainer, for example,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: who when she canceled her tour, she did say that
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: that was because of she's like recording an album and
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: she's raising like her young family, and she was like,
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I just don't have the time, and everybody was like.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: No, girl, it's because the tickets didn't sell.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Which I'm like, either way, either of those are fair
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: excuses to cancel a tour really, but it's like, you know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: people will be like come up with some like more
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: pr friendly excuse as to why, and they you know,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: critique for that, or somebody like Zara's like putting herself
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: out there and they're like, but I do feel like
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: people are.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Getting around it.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because I loved Matt when you I think
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: it was I think it was this tour and you
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: were like, it's sold out, and then you're like, oh wait,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: it's got all about.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: That, but the chicks, you won't across it.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: So basically, so basically what happened is when the tour
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: first went on sale. The very next morning, I woke
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: up and you couldn't get a ticket on ticket tech
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: anymore for any of the Brisbane shows. And so I've
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: gone on pot, god, it's sold out. It's sold out,
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: And so I got online and I was like, Brisbane
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: sold out, Oh my god, Oh my god. And then
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: I got an email later that day or a couple
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: of days later there was like, hey, sorry, there was
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: an admin erar and we only put like fifty of
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: the two hundred tickets on sale, so just letting you know.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: Now another one hundred and fifty tickets have gone. So
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: I went no, under it's sold out so quickly, and
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: so I had to then do another video being like okay,
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: I said it was sold out, But that actually worked
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: really well because then they sold out really quickly because everyone,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: They missed out.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: I went in with like a strategy this year because
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: I don't spend any money on marketing for my shows.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: It is all me on the podcast or coming on
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: other podcasts like Today, or just on my social media.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: That's all the promo that I do. And then because
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: I hate spending money on marketing, I don't want to
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: do it. I want the money in my pocket.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: You know, there's some marketing that I'm like, I wonder
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: how much that works, Like if you see a poster
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: on a poll, how how often do you exactly?
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: And that's the thing is when we did my first
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: to my tool manager was like, oh, yeah, we've got
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: a thousand flyers in Adelaide, and I was like, well,
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: how many tickets is that? Who's seeing a flyer in
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: a cafe and actually picking that up and coming to
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: the show? I don't. I don't know. Maybe they maybe
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: they do.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: But I, as my consumer habits, I don't know.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: By the time I see that, I can't remember. Usually
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I've already bought tickets to.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: It to go. I even write things down to remember
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: them and then forget I've written them.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Down, loads up and you're like, what does cheese string
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: us bondage?
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Bondage? Yeah, idea.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I went in with the strategy of like being
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: really honest and almost lifting the curtain a little bit
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: on how the whole thing works, because people just don't
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: really understand, and people have found it really really interesting.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: And so that's like one way that I've been able
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: to sell tickets is like being like, here's a behind
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: the scenes, like this is what my backstage looks like,
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: this is how I get to the stage, This is
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: how ticket sales work. Also being really open with my
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: ticket sales and like getting on being like this is
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: how many tickets have sold. People get investors and almost
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: like root for me and go, oh, there's only eight
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: tickets left in Adelaide. Oh buy one. Oh, come and
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: be one of those eight people, so you can say
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: it's sold out, you know, so they want to like
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: get on board. And so I really respect what Sarah
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Larson's doing, and as you said, what's what is wrong
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: with given something a go and trying. But I will
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: say it is a humiliation ritual prima, please come and
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: see me.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: To my party.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: But I do think it's character building and it sounds
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: like forge that connection even more, which is the whole
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: point of the tour.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: So kudo Sarah, and udo's to humored.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: So Matt, it's your turn.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Okay, well the tea. I'm going on a bit of
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: a Matt's rant of the week, which is, you know
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: how everyone's doing the trend five things that are worth
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: the money? Nothing you've done it have for you? Now,
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: what did you say? We're on yours?
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: My bravel coffee machine, my dice and eir rap pet insurance. Okay,
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: oh my kindle, Yeah, those were the four. Let's go
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: with that.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Okay. So here's the thing, everyone, I am sick of
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: these videos. I'm sick of these five things that are
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: worth the money. And it's like organic much of powder, dison,
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: air wraps. Sorry to call you out, you know, it's
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: my this vacuum cleaner that Let's be real, all right,
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: we need to actually have a conversation about being smarter
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: with our money. My five things that are worth the money,
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Let's start with health insurance. That's that should be a
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: priority above a dice and air wrap. So insurance, I'm
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: bad by that actually because I missed that. I missed that.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: I was going to call you out the whole video,
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: but health insurance, let's go at least ambulance cover. Come on.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: I had some gallstones a couple of years ago, and
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: I had to get get.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: An ambulance video airport.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Yes, at the airport, and when you get an air
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: when you get an ambulance, obviously they send you the
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: bill and then like you you have to say, like,
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: I've got insurance so I don't have to pay this.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: And because it was from the airport, so much more.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: And for those who don't know, quick story is I
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: was going. I was flying to Melbourne and it was
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: just after the Tailor Swift concerts and so the airport
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: was packed and I start getting this real weird pain
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: in my stomach and I'm like, oh my god, something's
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: not right. And I'm like I can't fly. And I'm
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: someone who's like pushed through pushed through, you know. And
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: it was for a job and I was getting paid
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: a lot of bloody money for it, so I wanted
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: to go on the fly like I was like nothing
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: stopping me from getting on the flight. I am on
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: the ground like like just wriggling in pain. They've put
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: up the screens around it, They've got the defibrillate around
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: they think I'm having a heart attack. Anyway, they call
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: an ambulance. And the thing is that Sydney Airport is
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: to get for the ambulance to get to you, because
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: they've got to bring all the equipment in and stuff, like,
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: they can't come through security and that's a security risk,
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: so they just actually come on the tarmac where the
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: planes are taking off care So for the whole time
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: that I was getting medical attention, they actually had to
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: shut down Sydney Airport for me for about forty five
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: minutes so that the ambulance could run onto the drive,
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: onto the tarmac and come to the door. And then
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: they put me on the stretcher and took me to
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: hospital and then I go off on the time. But
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: because of that, because they don't know whether the person's
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: like having a heart attack or whatever, they just have
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: to hold all planes international and domestic until further notice.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: So these people everyone lying around for forty five minutes,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: and everyone's in Taylor Swift merch and everyone's seen all
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: my videos from Taylor Swift because you know, they were
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: doing really well on social media, so everyone's recognizing me.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: I'm on the ground and at that point I'd never
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: had a gallstone attack, so which by the way, it's
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: one in three, so everyone get ready. But I was like,
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: like I honestly, was like, I'm dying, but I had
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: kidney stones before. These things run in my family. I
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: don't think Dad's got a gall blood. I think great
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: Dad had his out as well. Like, yeah, anyway, so
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: I've got it removed now, so I never have a
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: gall bladder attack again, thank God. But where the frick
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: was I going with this health abulance cover?
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Anyway?
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: It was like three and a half thousand dollars for
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: the ambulance and then I didn't have to pay that
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: because I had health insurance which included ambulance cover. But yeah,
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: like I think as well, I just watched those videos
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: and I'm just like, we need to start being a
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: little bit smarter with our money. Yeah, And it's funny
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: that I'm now having this conversation after talking about concert
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: tickets and being like, yeah, it's seven hundred and fifty
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: dollars on kid even know, Look, if I could go back,
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: it was an amazing time. But if I can go back,
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: I would love to maybe spend half that money instead.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: I have a little bit money, more money out my
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: sleeve now well for things like too, and maybe I
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: could have done the merch or whatever.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean, yeah, that's the thing
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: is I in the video, I was like petsurance, and
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: I was like, the thing is with some of these
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: I get it, like some people have never maybe they
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: paid for peturants in their entire pet's life and they've
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: never had to call it in. But for me, my
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: pets are three and one and it saved me over
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: sixteen thousand dollars that I pay thirty five dollars a month.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: I know it's a little bit.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: I know it's more expensive for dogs than cats. Yeah,
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: so like that's also, you know, something to consider, But
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: I would have I worked it out because there was
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: a there was a comment that was like just put
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: that money in a savings and you know you don't,
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: like it's too expensive you put money into savings? What
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: if you're not good at saving money? Like it's a
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: lot for me, Like saving money is a journey and
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: I haven't always been really really good at it. So
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: I was like, not that I'm really really good at
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: it now, but I'm just saying that, Like it would
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: have taken me, it would take me thirty eight years
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: to put thirty five dollars into a bank account and
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: to have the amount ready that I needed to have
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: for that thing. So it's like, for me, it's was
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: absolutely worth it because I remember when they were sick
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: and that like the our cat was in like emergency
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: VET hospital on Christmas, and I just remember saying to Rob,
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: I can't imagine being in this car and having to
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: contemplate whether or not we can afford to like save
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: our cat's life and be like and or then you
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: just have to bring them home and just hope for
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: the best. And I was like, to me, that is
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: worth thirty five dollars a month any day.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: The fact way, I also just think this might be
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: a hot take, but for me, when I look like,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: if I can afford to have a pet, part of
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: the cost is insurance, and if I can't afford the insurance,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I can't afford to have a pet.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Yes, I agree, yes, but that's what I think fat
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: thing's worth the money. Insurance, insurance, insurance, insurance, traveling. I mean,
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: how would you go traveling without travel insurance stress. Even
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: some of my friends don't do, like, you know, I
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: have to get all the insurances for your car. They
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: don't do one of the insurances.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: One slip, that's the one that you need or just.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Like the I don't know. There's one of my friends
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: had an accident long ago and I was like, yeah,
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: you've got insurance, Like nah, don't And I was like,
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: why are you driving without insurance to cover yourself?
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: You got the you have to get the compulsory that
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: cover someone else that doesn't cover you.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: I don't know anyway, I just think insurance And just
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: a hot tip for you because we spoke about this
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: not long ago on my podcast, but look into your
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: health insurance if you are paying because mine kept going
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: up each year and I just thought, well, cost of living,
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: everything's going up in inflation, like it's just you know,
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: going up as it is. Anyway, this year, I was like,
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: this is diabolical. While am I paying like four thousand
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: dollars a year for health insurance? This cannot be right.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: I looked into it. Well, they automatically added midwife stuff
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: and pregnancy stuff and this that and everything, and I
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: was like, hang on, there's something's gone wrong here. And
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: so they'd added on each year and I don't know
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: what went wrong, And I don't know whether it was
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: just me or whether these things happened to a lot
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: of people, but yeah, I noticed, and so I gone
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: on and I changed it and anyway, I ended up
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: saving three and a half thousand dollars on my insurance
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: for the year for health insurance. Yeah, so it's just
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: a reminder, look into it, look into everything.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what's the cost for the peace of mind that
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: it gives you?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Exactly?
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: And because everybody always thinks that will never happen to.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: Me, exactly will it does? Well, that's me. I had
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: a good health track record as well. I've never had
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: anything wrong with me, basically touch wood. And then when
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: I got the gall stones, like that's the first time
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: I'd ever I feel like even had to go to hospital,
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Like had never been in ambulance before. You know, I've
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: never even broken a bone, So it's like I always
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: get touchwood. Yeah. It was one of those things where
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: I'm like, Okay, I never thought it would happen to me.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: And now I'm laying on the floor of an air
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: port with a thousand talists with fans around me, and
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: I can't breathe and I can't move, and I am
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: about to get airlifted out of here. Thank god I'm
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: at an airport.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Literally, But also when you're stressed about your health.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, when you're in pain, when
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: you're like sick and you really just need to focus
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: on getting better, you don't want to be sitting there
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: going how much is can I afford it?
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Because that's what a lot of people end.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Up doing, And I think that is like also something
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: that a lot of people have done, Like people aren't
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: going to the doctors or the dentists and stuff because
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: they can't afford it.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: So I do also want to.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Acknowledge that that like for some people as well, like
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: insurances is like, well I can't afford That's.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: A privilege to have. It should be a priority, though
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: it is a privilege, but it should be a priority
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: in my opinion.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah. But I am a big insurance girly.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we love insurance.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Compare your options, yeah, not financial advice, YadA, YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, al, what's the tea?
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: Okay, My tea is that I'm sure you guys have
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: already seen this online, is that Barbi two is facing
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: potential cancelations. Have you seen this?
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Have you seen this?
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah? Yeah, So essentially what's happening is Barbi two
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: has been pitched, it's been wanting to go. It's like
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: in pre production kind of stages. It's not locked in. However,
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: the cast of Marco, Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and Greta Gowig
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: have declined their offers. And this is alleged reportedly because
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: none of this is confirmed, right like from the horse's
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: mouth essentially, and their offers they've been presented with and
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: I quote from media outlets life changing offers of around
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: six six offers.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Six different rounds, six different rounds of offers. However, if
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: they don't reach an agreement within the next four months,
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: it's done, it's scrapped, and the Riots go back to Mattel.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: But because Greta basically wrote and built the entire world
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: of the first movie, if the rights of Like the
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Barbie Movie go back, they actually can't use her work
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: anymore and they're gonna have to start from complete scratch,
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: which is very interesting and I very much love this, Like,
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: and by love, I'm being sarcastic. Is this rhetoric had
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: been like they've been offered life changing money. It's like, oh,
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: how ungrateful, how ungrateful these women aren't. And Ryan, you know,
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: would put him in else he's just ken, but like
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: that is only not taking this money because this could
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: change your life. Just make the movie, just do it,
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: and like it's very much. I've never ever ever seen
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: a rhetoric like that about a male stuff. But the
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: part that I think is quite interesting on top of
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: this conversation is that Matthew McConaughey has also come out
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: this week right saying that the movie that he owns
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: earns the most money on is How to Lose a
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Guy in Ten Days and that's stress work. Yeah, I'll
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: get out it and from the residuals, right, And that
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: is reportedly what the disagreement is over, because they don't
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: just want one big, big payout, they want the years
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: of earnings for what they're working on. So it's very
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: interesting to see how this is all coming together.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: But what do you guys.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: Think, Well, I'm thinking, no, you're worth I don't blame
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: them for turning down an offer. I also would be interested,
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: Like if I was in Margo Rowie's position, I'd be like, Okay,
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: the first one was worldwide, change the world, love it
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: and it was perfection, Like the movie got such brave reviews,
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: like it was great, And it's like, is it one
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: of those things where it's like, if you don't if
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: it ain't broke, don't fix it. Like, if I'm going
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: to sign on for this second movie, you've got to
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: be paying me a lot of money because it will
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: be under so much more scrutiny. Oh. Absolutely, Like it
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: could make or break a career. Really.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, even the first one, everyone's like, nah, nah, we
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: don't like, what's it going to be, Barbie, She's gonna
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: And then everyone's like, I'm so sorry.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was one of the best movies I've ever
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: seen in my entire life. Every time I cry, you
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: had the same opinion, didn't use out.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And because that's the thing, it's like, they're not
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: only thinking about the money that they're going to make,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: but the legacy of that franchise, all that film. Can
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: we can we prioritize that a little bit more, just
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: across the board, well, because I do think that it
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: does tarnish it a little bit if the sequel is
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: a bit of a flop teainer like I do. Honestly,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I definitely can still enjoy it as its own film
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: and I'm still going to watch the original even if
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the sequel isn't as good. But I do think that
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: it kind of takes away from the magic of the
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: first one if the second one or whatever.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Follows is as good.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Because also sometimes I'm like, I feel like I've been.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Taken advantage of as like an audience member, you know
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: what I mean, Like you're not putting that same level
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: of effort or magic into it because you know, I'm
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: just gonna watch it and spend the money anyway.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Just put yourself in Margot Robbie's position. The press tour, Yeah,
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: not only filming the movie, no, not, you know, going
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: through all the processes like that press tour was worldwide
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: and crazy and all the different outfits every time they
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: did it, do you know what I mean? Like I
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: think of Cynthia and Arianna in Wicked. Oh my god,
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: I can't believe they made it to the end of
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: that press tour. We saw them every day for two years,
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: doing a different interview, in a different outfit, on a
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: different red carpet, yellow brick road wherever around the world.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: Like these celebs. If I was Margo Robbie, I'd go bloody.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: Oh I don't want to do another Barbie movie. The
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: last one almost killed me. I'm I'm you know, so
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: you're gonna have to pull out one hundred and fifty
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: million or I'm not even thinking about it, you know. Yeah.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: And there's also so much behind the scenes that we
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: don't know about. But I have noticed so much more
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: that Margot Robbie is moving into so much of a
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: producer role like she was, Like she is executed, It
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: produces on so many projects that like as her good
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: close and personal friend. It really seems like that's where
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: passions are beginning to lay for her. So it's like,
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: I think you're right that it's more like, well is
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: this worth it? Like is it well one knowing your worth?
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: And two can I be bothered? Is this where my
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: passions lie? And that's such a good regardless of whether
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: or not your fucking Margot Robbie or like starting your
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: first full time job, is like is this what my
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: passion is? Because it truly there's so many studies that
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: show if, like when you start earning money for something,
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: your like passion for it starts diminishing a little bit,
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: like you can like let's, for example, let's say you're
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: writing a book and you're like, I love writing books.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Writing books is my passion. I love it so much.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: As soon as you start earning money for it, in
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: your brain, psychologically you start treating it as work and
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: it starts feeling like work. And so why are you laughing?
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: It's probably why I love comedy shows so much, because
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: there's no fack of money in it.
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you can still have passion for these things, but
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: they it does go down slightly, and especially with you know,
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: the role that they play that's so open to critique
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: and public commentary.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: I can imagine being like that can't be fact.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it wouldn't ever just be about that offer for
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: them and the money and what's on the table there.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Because for the thing as well, is like I understand
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: that they're like, oh, it's life changing money. They're so
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: ungreat she's Margaret Robbie.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: I think she's okay.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: I'm like, it would be life changing money for them, really,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: because how much would their life really.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Change by any amount of money at this stage. But
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: the thing is.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Where they're accountant but just expeculating, perspectionion, just speculating, but
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: also like if Barbie Too is flopped Tina that could
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: ruin everything is.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: And I think it will be.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, where do they go?
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: Amazing? But like we are also in a whole different
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: world now, and I think less people, as we've spoke about,
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: have money to indulge in luxury like going to the movies.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: It's something that I don't spend money on. I'm lucky
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: enough to get invited to the premiere. If I don't
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: go to the premiere, I rarely actually go and see
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: a movie. I think we should bring it back, by
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: the way, I would love to bring.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: It is coming back talking about it the other day.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: But it's more expensive than the true It is a
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: very expensive But.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: I think, out of everything to do in life, it's like,
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: who's choosing going to the movies? Yeah, there'd be a
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: select few, but like I just think like if for
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: most of the family of four, like that's a lot
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: of money for like, you know, there are cheaper things
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: to entertain the family, is what I'm saying.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: I think they're also like Greta Gerwig is such a
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: talent and her movies are just so beautiful that I
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: really respect the fact that it's lack of Well, what's
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: the next story to tell? That's not just up, this
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: did really really well, Let's make another one because people
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: are going to come see it. And that's obviously a
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: strategy of you know, Hollywood and filmmakers at the moment,
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: is because it's they've got this guaranteed pocket of fans
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: that it's like, well they'll come.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: At least everyone who saw the first one is probably
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: going to go see the same And I think that's
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: why I do respect it and that they haven't just
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: been like, all right, well, I'll take the cash, because
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: as a consumer, I would much rather go see a
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: fresh Greta or Margo Project or Ryan rather than going
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: to see a rehash.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Barbie Too exactly. I really don't. I mean I'm not
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: a film writer, shock, but like I don't know, I
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: can't see where that story would go that they didn't
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: answer in the first you know, she's.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Not a Barbie anymore.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: She's a real girl.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: I think that first one was like so impactful because
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: it was almost like we never like it took us
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: that story to go, oh my god, why have we
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: never thought about that? Why? Like that revelation was like
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: almost so simple, but we'd never looked into it before.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: I literally just got goosebumps thinking about it. I'm like,
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: I'm going to rewatch that movie this weekend.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: You know, Like I'm like, like, what's what's another lesson?
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: And I just think, as I said, like politically, the
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: world is changing so fast and all the rest of
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: it that Like I think when Barbie came out like
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: or like yes, now you have people going, oh, it's
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: a left wit left movie, do you know what I mean?
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: And there'd be like more outrage about how the message
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: is so simple. It's very bring back glamour. Actually, I mean,
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: I'll take one hundred and fifty million for part two.
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: I'll play Ryan Reynolds.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: I'll become the best rendition of I'm Just Kid. Yeah,
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: it would be so good. But it would be like
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: past size Can.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: I'll be past size Can.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: It would be like you'd be like in sequence and
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: oh no, it can't happen.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Actually bring you know what.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Will take the offer? Yeah, you can be Margot and
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: you can be Keen.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Warner coming.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Well apparently it's the biggest offer. And a lot of
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: this information that is hitting media really sounds like the
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: call is coming inside the house. It's very much like
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: Warner Bros. Is their publicers are working over time, because
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: everything I'm seeing is very much like we're really trying, guys,
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: like we're really trying to make this happen for you
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: the fen.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: But I'm like, but also like we like, no one
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: knows about how PR works, Like this could be totally
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: made up just to gauge interest in Barbie.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: And general Oh oh my god.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: That could be fears, it could be the pr angle,
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: Like they're just like, let's just put this out and
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: see how many people are or are enrage or like
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: if anyone cares or if this because if that story
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: doesn't really take traction, yeah, yeah.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Then they'll do it. But if everyone's like, no, we
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: don't need a Barbi two movie, and they'll be like.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: Now probably, so maybe that's the whole point of the
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: pr Yeah.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: More importantly, Margot Robbie is apparently going to be starting
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: a Parates of the Caribbean movie, and that I am
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: signed up. That's a Pirate two Caribbean franchise is one
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: that I'm like, well, we can just do different stories
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: because you can do not Pirate, you know, and I
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: would just love her and that give me that one
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: we need, just like a whole ship of like female pirates. Yes,
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: I want that for the next one that would that's my.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: Hilarious is Kiera Nightley in primary school and everyone's like,
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: are you gay? I was like, no, I love Kiera
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: Knightley because I thought she was like obscure enough that
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: it be believable. It's not like your typical because everyone
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: else is like Ashley Tisdale and Hilary Dark and whatever,
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: and I was like.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Kierra Nightley, who was everyone's like by awakening as well. Yeah,
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: and she's like one of the ones. It's like the
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Chicken stick it the movie Sticket.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Oh no, it's good, the gymnastics one.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: Well, we'd have to do a whole other episode on
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: my childhood. But we had no We had free to
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: air only, and I think we didn't even have General
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: ten Our TV. It didn't work. There was no movies,
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: there was no nothing.
• 37:57
