  Speaker 2: The outfit. If you're watching on YouTube, if you're not,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: go there.
• 0:37

• 0:40
  Speaker 3: to go to the YouTube, this is it.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: To subscribe. And to see Claudia's outfit. It's worth it.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Can we get like a very quick introduction? where is
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: your outfit from?
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: We're doing, okay, we're doing Neutral Chimes. I've just figured
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: out that that's my vibe I'm in right now. We've
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: got the shoes are from Zara, classic.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Are they? I don't know.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I reckon.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: These are actually from Roby, Ruby Tuesday Matthews. Shout out
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: her brand. Yep. Very comfy. Then we got a Uniqlo jumper.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Sir Blazer. And then a Mr. Zimmy, which I think
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: is probably the standout of the look.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I'm obsessed. Jumper.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go buy all of it.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: And it's just really soft.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: I love it. And we were talking about it because
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: obviously it's miserable weather. I'm like... Winter dressing is just
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: for me.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: It's so much better.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God, it's elite.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Summer I just want to, like, I get dressed and
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: then I'm like, that scene in The Grinch.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Being like, I'm not going.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I'm staying home.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's too much. If there isn't air conditioning, like,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: just expect that I'm not going to be there.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Before we get into our what's the teas, we're kind
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: of mixing it up a little bit this week.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: We have a new game. We have a new game.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: So, Al, do you want to run us through for
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: the chicks what we're going to be doing?
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: So last week we made up our word obsessometer. Wow,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: what a word.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, our obsessometer and how obsessed we are. So I
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: figured we should bring the obsessometer in physical form in
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the form of whiteboards that when we share our tea,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: we're going to share how obsessed we are with what
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: we're bringing to the table first.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: And then when we finish the tea, I want to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: see if our obsessometer has changed. Yeah.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: So the obsessometer is out of 10.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: So, you know, a five is like, yeah, it's okay.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Like a nine is like, fuck yeah.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Ten is like, you basically had an orgasm.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: And then like one is like, hate it. Yeah.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so you could start as a 10 but
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: then actually dive into it. You could be like, you
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: know what, actually I don't like it anymore.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: You know what, my mind has been changed. You've convinced me.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, done.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: The tea is sour. So that's the obsessive meter. So Claudia. Yep.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I'm very excited for your tea.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Okay. My tea is a little bit of shameless self-promotion
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: as well.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I'm writing 10 down now.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: You've tried it down obviously. But I feel like the
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: tea at the moment, like for us millennials, I would
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: say the pub's always been a place.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: It's always been a safe haven.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: It's always been a safe haven. But the Gen Z,
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: the younger Gen, they're not really getting around the pub
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: until now. I think there's been like a huge shift
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: in a lot of younger people getting out there and
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: getting to the pub and like– Going to Miss Double
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Bass Tribune.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, that is what it is.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: So is the tea like the pub is back?
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: The tea is that the pub is back. Not that
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: the pub, I guess that's why I wanted to say
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: that the pub really never left. It never left. But
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: I just think younger people are now getting around the
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: pub a lot more than what they're used to. They're
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: wanting an IRL experience. Yeah. And it's almost like they've
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: discovered what going out in the middle of the week is.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Feels like.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Okay. It's in the middle of the week, I have
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: to say.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Midweek pub trips.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Midweek pub sesh.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Love.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Okay. Are we scoring? Yep.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Okay. Ready? Three, two, one. Oh, wow, 10.5.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Perfect.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Where'd the. 5 come from?
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: I was just like, you know what, it's more than 10.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate that.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so we've all given 10s across the board.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: 10 for midweek pub trips.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I completely agree because– I've had seen lots of reports,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: you know, around that Gen Z, you know, like they're
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: not drinking as much, which that's great.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: That's not a bad thing at all.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I wish I took that advice. Honestly.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: I think millennials did the opposite.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I'm a millennial and I'm like a pendulum swing and
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I swing a little bit too millennial on that one.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: The millennials, they grew up on vodka crayon. Midori.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Midori.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: I was even going to say– Did you guys, because
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: when we were growing up, there was this pub that
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: we would go to called The Sheaf. Yes. And it
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: was a tradition to go on a Wednesday and we
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: would call it Schwenzdays. I love that. And it was like,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: let's go to Schwenzdays. Our whole life, which is quite sad,
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: was surrounded by Schwenzdays and that's where we had a fun,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: fun time. Most good memories were made. And then I
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: was even chatting to my... my husband's younger, younger sister,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: and she just, like, didn't have the same experience. No.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: And I was like, that's just, I don't know.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's sad.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: So I'm excited to hear that it's coming back because, yeah,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: the camaraderie of, like, a Wednesday pub night is unmatched.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, yeah, as you were saying, stats, a Wednesday,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: they were saying that out of all the weeks have
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: jumped in terms, especially with Gen Z. Yeah. pub attendance.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: So everyone's going out midweek.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Really? So Wednesdays have, like, increased in popularity.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Wednesdays are the new Fridays.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Hump day.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Hump day.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Do you know what? That's, like, that checks out because
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I feel like Wednesday you start being like, oh.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: I wish it was Friday.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And, like, Thursdays kind of feel like a Friday because
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: you're like, tomorrow's Friday and then it just kind of, like,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: bleeds down a little bit.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: But I completely agree.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I feel like we live way too much like in
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the work week of like 9 to 5 Monday to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Friday and we don't do anything fun outside of it.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And so then it's like, well, what was the week
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: for when we're living too much for the weekend? We
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: went to like drag bingo on a Monday night once.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, fun.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: And we were so hungover on the Tuesday.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: It wasn't funny.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: But it was so fun and it was like it
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: made the day feel like it was more than just
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: like going to work.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Yes. Yeah.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I also wanted to ask you about the pub quiz.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: The pub quiz is like an art form in itself.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: The trivia, yes.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Well, see, this is the thing. Pub trivia has always
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: been around. It's never not been a thing. But I
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: definitely think it's always been considered like, oh, it's either
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: those like– weird freaks who are, like, weirdly obsessed with
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: trivia and go to every single pub trivia.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Me.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Or it's like an old– sorry, not that you're a
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: weird freak.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I am a weird freak. With the freak flag. I
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: also love a raffle.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I love a raffle.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I have a delusional– I.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Love a meat tray. Yes.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I have a delusional sense of how much I will
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: win in those. I'm like, it's going to be my number. Yeah.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Every time. Never win. Never win.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: But even like all the pub trivias that I've been
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: to in the past, which is why I kind of
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: wanted to do something a little bit different, like some
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: of the questions are just so... Plain Jane or like
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: very sports orientated. Yes. Yeah, they are. Very, you know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: fun fact. Nothing like hyper niche and nothing really for
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: the girlies.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: And so I really wanted to do also I'd done
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: one in COVID. It was an online one which went
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: really well.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I used to love doing those.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: And I was like I want to go to a
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: pub trivia that I would love to go to with
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: prizes that I would love to win.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: And so I kind of just pitched it to The
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Oak and they were like, yeah, keen. And so, yeah,
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: I mean it's not running it. Hopefully it becomes an
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: ongoing thing but it was a four-weeker, in and out,
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: and it was just so fun. Every week I'd change
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: all the questions and I would make them hyper, hyper niche,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: which I think is the thing that really got people going. Yeah.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Like there was one round that was like a local
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: law round just And so it was all just like
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: piss take questions about the eastern suburbs or like pop
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: culture figures in the eastern suburbs or even like I
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: did one, we were chatting about parking fines before, I
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: did one where it was like a real brain twister
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: where I had like a photo of a really confusing
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: parking sign.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: That's so smart.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Shut up, that is so good.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: And then it was like it's 8am on a Tuesday
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: and you just parked. How long can you legally park here? Yeah.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: And so, like, fun stuff like that which people related to, right?
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Everyone in the room, even though they didn't know each other,
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: could all relate to these questions. And, like, that's what
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: I loved. It was such a high. even just going
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: through the answers and having everyone like collectively scream over
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: whether they got the questions right or wrong. And so
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: I think like that community, which is what the pub is, right,
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: at the end of the day, is like the thing
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: that maybe younger Gen Zs are being drawn to because,
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe they're sick of being online, doom scrolling. Yeah.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: And they're like, I actually want to touch and feel
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: and go somewhere. And feel like I have a sense
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: of community.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Seriously, I saw this like stat and it was from
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Eventbrite and it was that like community events like trivia
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: or like book clubs or things like community events is
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: up 300%, like over 300% in Gen Zed. And we've
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: spoken about it on the podcast before, but it was
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: due to this thing called like collective effervescence.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Ooh, isn't that right?
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds sparkly, doesn't it? What does that mean?
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: It's very whimsical.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: And it's basically the feeling you get when you're like
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: in a large group of people enjoying the same thing.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't love it.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: So when you go to a concert and you're all like.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Singing together.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, singing together.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Or like even when you applause together.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when you clap or you're all like.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Doing a chant.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Wow, yeah. Yeah.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Like I feel like the best example in pop culture
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: would be like the Queen concert when they do.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Like the Radio Gaga.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: It's like that insane clip and they're all doing the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: dance and they'd be like Radio Gaga, yeah. Like that's
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: collective effervescence. And so like Gen Z is like obviously
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: yearning for that. because they've like been like you know
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the COVID generation or like the tech generation that I'm
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: like it's so cool and I love it and I
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: really yeah I would like this to be a recurring
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: thing yeah we need.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: To get on the books weekly well I've noticed now
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: as well like a lot of not saying they were
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: copying me but a lot of other pubs or media
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: personalities doing their own Trivia nights, which I'm like there's
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: enough trivia for everyone. Yeah, there's enough pubs to go around.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: But it's cool to see it actually kind of growing
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: into this thing and even with Batuta we're doing a
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: branded pub trivia night with like a big brand coming up.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: And like so even now brands are jumping onto it
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: saying like, oh, this is actually– like a great community-based thing. Yeah.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: So it's cool.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: I like it. Anything IRL.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we need more of it.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: And as much as, yes, it is at a pub,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: I love that it's a wholesome activity that– because, like,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: my partner doesn't drink, for example.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Is it wholesome? I'm telling you, the girlies at this
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: pub trivia were sending. Yeah, true, actually.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: But it's like, yeah, you can go with a group
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: of people and, like, have drinks and have fun.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can have a chilled experience. Or you can get, like,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: a schnitty and have a Coke Zero.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: And still enjoy it. Yeah, it depends how you want
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: to go. There was definitely a spectrum of people who
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: were like, I'm coming, I'm having my dinner, I'm playing
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: trivia and I'm leaving. And then there were other people
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: who were like, I'm having a bed now. Yeah, I
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: will be hosting the office.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: We'll do a part two of the trivia. Obsessometers.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: All right. Are you ready?
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Three, two, one.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: I've done a 10 out of 10. Yay! Yeah, I've
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: turned mine into a 100.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I turned mine into an 11 out of 10.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I love it. Let's all go to Trivia Queens.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Actually, I can give a shout out of some other
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: really fun trivia nights if people want to go. There's
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: a really good one. Lady Chu is doing a pub
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: trivia at the moment in King's Cross. If anyone wants
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: to go. That one's a little less pub and more
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: you sit down at a restaurant. Fun. And it's fun.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: And then there's another one at The Royal in Bondi.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: They do a really good pub trivia.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Love that. And then.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: There was one more. Oh, there's one at the Bondi RSL,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: which also does a very good pub trivia. So if
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: anyone wants to go to those ones, I'd recommend. Absolutely.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Ten out of ten.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Eleven out of ten.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: My tea of the week is that skinny jeans are back.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: All right. Of sesameters.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Ready? Yep.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Three, two, one.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Ooh.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: This is the most divided we've been, I think. I
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: gave it a three. Yeah, I gave it a five.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: I gave it a seven.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Can I get a quickfire round of why we did
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: our scores the way we did our scores?
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: I just love when a trend comes back. I don't
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: necessarily have to participate in it, but I love seeing
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: other people participate in it and just see cycles repeat themselves. Yeah.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: And so I'm excited to see if the trend does
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: come back, just us spiralling into a skinny jeans era.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, totally.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: I am, like, really on the fence.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: So that's why I did a five. Oh, very good.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Because the thing is, when skinny jeans were dubbed over
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: and cringe and whatever.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: You know, we were all like, I'd never wear them again.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: I'd never wear them again.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: However, when I look back at like how they were
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: styled in the really early 2000s and the 80s, I'm like,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: I have an appreciation for them. So I just think
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: that it's maybe like our most recent memory of it,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: which is like the early 2010s, like the, you know,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: like the fall Tumblr era. pumpkin spice latte like that
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: yeah that's kind of what like the real peep toe
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: high shoes exactly the vest the fur vest and like
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: a scarf and a look and a floppy felt hat
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: like that's kind of what pops into my head whereas
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: when i actually think back to like you know like
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: glam rock in the 80s like i love that look
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: like bon jovi was rocking skinny jeans like it was
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: nobody's business.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah Well, yeah, basically they were all over the.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: 2026 and 2027 runways across like Gucci, Celine, Dior, Acne Studios,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Miu Miu.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Did I say that right?
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Miu Miu, yeah.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: I always get the designer names wrong because I'm in
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the wrong tax bracket.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And also Calvin Klein, which like a lot of their
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: show was like dominated by skinny jeans, I say in
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: like quotation marks.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: And then we've also seen Vogue.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: With a new article that came out on the 13th
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: of October that is identifying, I think, what this trend
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: actually is, which it's.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: The almost skinny gene.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: So essentially, I think we're seeing the same treatment that
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: we do where it's like we hear the term and
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: we go back to like exactly what it was like
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: when it was.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: In our ye olden days.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: That we're like it's essentially a jegging that's a second
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: skin and we're like.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah. A jegging.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: I had so many jeggings.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: He had so many soup ray jeggings. They were the best.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: I was like this is such a genius.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: I was like it was so comfy. I was like
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: and they look like a genius.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: They didn't look like a genius.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: We weren't fooling anyone.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: We have to go shopping right now.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I was like do you guys want to go to
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: soup ray? And then you'd have like the.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Tote bag that you'd take a pee uniform in school.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Those are the days. Those are the days. But essentially
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: it's like the almost skinny jean.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: So it kind of follows the same silhouette without being
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: completely tight to the skin.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: So it like follows the silhouette of your like leg
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: and it's a little bit like tapered, but it's not like.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Isn't that a cigarette jean?
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what I was wondering, but apparently not according
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: to Vogue.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Interesting.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: So, you know, Vogue also reported low rise, slimmer cut jeans.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: like were up in numbers. So I kind of feel
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: like skinny jeans have been one of those things that
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: people have been saying are either in or out.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: For like ever. Yeah.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: It's one of the most divisive trends of all time.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: That and low rise. Yeah, exactly. I think skinny jeans
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: are one of those things that it's like, oh, they're back. oh,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: they're out.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: And like obviously I think maybe around five years ago
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: we had that like declaration and it's like Gen Z
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: have decided that.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Skinny jeans are out.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Or it's like maybe it was longer than that. I
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: have no conception of time. But now they're coming back in.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Like last year we saw Alex Earl wearing them and
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: it was like this declaration.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: But there was actually a survey.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: A YouGov survey, that found that 48% of Gen Z
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: still considered skinny jeans fashionable, 54% of millennials consider skinny
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: jeans fashionable, Fashionable, 46% of Gen X and 46% of Boomers.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: So I'm like the.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Interesting takeaway is like half like of all the generations
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: are like, yeah, they're fine.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: They're never left.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the consensus is kind of across the board.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: That is so fascinating.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: It just goes to show to never chuck out, that's
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: the hoarder in me, any style of anything. Everything comes back.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Because you will be dusting that off and putting them
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: back on. Yeah, we will be reheating our own arches.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: There was also, interestingly, a 25% increase in men's searches
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: for skinny jeans. No.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: I draw the line at.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: A man wearing a skinny dress. I'll allow the gays.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: My gays can do it. We give them a pass
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: for anything. No, I can't. I'm sorry. It reminds me
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: of like Ibiza Final Boss.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: And they have like the rips in it as well.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: See, the thing for me is that like I'm kind
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: of into it on men. But however, I was going
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: to say my reference point, because I was going to
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: say was, but let's be real here.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: Like was a huge emo and that's my reference point.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Like all of the boys who I loved when I
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: was growing up were wearing girls jeans that they bought
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: from JJ's and we wear.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: The same size jean and like that was my type
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: of man. Yeah, it can be interesting.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: She still lives in me.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: She lives in you.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like my inner– But today if your partner was
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: like just came and we were getting ready for work
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: or whatever it is and putting on.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Those– She'd be in time.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: I reckon he could pull it off.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. I reckon he could pull it off.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah. If anyone could. Okay, I'm not going to yuck
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: someone's yuck.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: He's also still– He's still at the restaurant.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: He's still a little bit of an emo.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I love that we have both sides of, like, the coin, though,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: that you're, like, smash and you're, like, blast.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: I'd be like, I'm sorry, divorce. Yeah, I'm so fair.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: You'd be like, here's the papers.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: I've called my lawyers.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I'll see you at your next wedding to officiate it.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: So I think like with all things it's fun to
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: like talk when, you know, things are coming back in
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: like you said at the start. But just because like
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: a trend is coming back into fashion doesn't mean you
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: have to.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Subscribe to it.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I think it is cool to see when things are
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: kind of like a little bit more reimagined. When they
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: come back in, like I think ballet flats have definitely
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: come in in a way that they're a.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Little bit more edgier, a little bit more cooler.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: You've obviously got like the traditional ones with like, you know,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: your bows on the front of it. But like there's
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: definitely some cooler ones that we've seen come in as well.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: Capris too.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Never worn them, never will.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: Well, that's the thing. It's like I like seeing other people,
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: especially fashion girlies, reinterpret it in like a modern day
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: lens yeah and it's cool to see it because a
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: lot of times it doesn't look like what it looked
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: like when we wore it.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Way back when exactly but look.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Sometimes it does yeah i like seeing other people experiment
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: with it would i probably not but i'm yeah i
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: like seeing people who are experts at playing with.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Trends agree yeah but i want to know from the
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: chicks in the comments would you are you going to
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: be dusting off your skinny jeans Or the jeggings.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Or the jeggings.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the jeggings is the next frontier.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Is the jegging back? Yeah, let's bring back jeggings.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: I wonder if you could get away with wearing a
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: jegging and people would know. I'm going to do it.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: People would be like, is she wearing a jegging right now?
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Can you do it at your next pub trivia?
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: I want to kind of just like a bit of that.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: You need to do that, like have pics of like,
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: you know how people would do like pics of cavoodles
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: and fried chicken and you'd be like, which is which?
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: You should do that but like.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: Jeggings or jeans. Yeah. And see. Maybe the technology has
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: advanced since 2011.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: All right. Three, two, one.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: I've changed my mind. It's a 10.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, because you're thinking about fucking hot glam rock.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking about Gerard Way.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, very good. Specifically, it's a 10. Okay. You've increased
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: by one to an eight?
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I felt good talking about Skinny Jane, so I
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: bumped it up.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: See? You're like, I liked talking.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: I was like, wow, I'm really excited.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I increased mine from a three to a five because
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I was inspired by your take of Skinny Jane.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I'm sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit. But, you know,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: a little bit of column A, a little bit of
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: column B.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, totally.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I don't have a strong feeling either way.
