• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I know. So we had the Grammys on Monday, and
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I feel like this Grammys was bigger than normal.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Don't you.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Grammys is back.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Music's biggest night of the year.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I've got it hasn't really been as big in past
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: years as it was this year, it just hasn't really
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: been on my feet as much, do you guys?
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: It's definitely been spoken about more everywhere.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Who was everyone's best dressed?
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Sabrina Serena looked in incredible?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: What about you, Sour?
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I really loved Lady Gaga's look. I felt like that
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: really encapsulated her Mayhem era, which I always like when
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: artists do that, like a nod to the era that
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: they're in.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: But also shout out to Haley and Justin Bieber and
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the other celebs for wearing the.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Ice out pins.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably my favorite accessory of the night. Literally, my
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: favorite best dressed was also Zara Larson.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, just for a moment and I was.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Kissed that like gold dress. It was gold. Yeah, it
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: was like a goldie green. Yeah. Yeah, truly Midnight Sun.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I'm just collapsed to her and that rebrand. But before
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: we get into it, I've got a lot to break
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: down in terms of tea amazing. First off, it was
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Travis Noah's six and last time hosting the Grammys.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Now did you watch it?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: No?
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: This is actually great that I'm here because I actually
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: be getting the run.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: I need the tea because I kind of I saw
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: the red carpet stuff, but the rest of it I
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: kind of just didn't watch.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: So he did not pull his punches in terms of hosting.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: In his opening monologue, he literally roasted in a humanage,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: oh and her current political stance, saying that she wasn't
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: at the Grammys because she was too busy at the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: White House. I mean most people started cheering, which I
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: think tells.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: You a lot for the people that were there.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he basically made it very very clear where he
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: stood in terms of his political alignment, and so did
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a lot.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: I did see some highlights. Yeah, I think it's kind
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: of great.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I think that's what people have been wanting from celebrities
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: in recent years, whether it be with Palestine or with
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the election.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Like people want celebrities.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: To speak up, and I understand why some people like
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear Sabrina Carpenter's stance on politics,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and then other people were like, no, like they should
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: be speaking up about what's right and what is wrong,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and like a lot of the things that we're seeing
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: isn't politics.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: It's like human rights, human rights, and just so it's
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: a step above I think what they're going through in
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: the States is kind of like you can't stay silent now.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: It's very interesting to see, especially celebrities like Sydney Sweeney
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: coming out saying that like it's not her job to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: discuss politics, but to make art. And then within a
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: couple of days we have something like the Grammys where
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: so many acceptance speeches on what's going on at the moment,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: especially with how scary it is in America at the moment.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Some of the celebrities included Olivia Dean, who stated Some
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: of the most powerful speeches from the Grammys included Olivia Dean,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: who said, I'm up here as the granddaughter of an immigrant.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be here.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I'm a product of bravery, and those people deserve to
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: be celebrated when nothing without each other bad.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Bunny said, I'm ice out. The only thing more powerful
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: than hate is love. We need to be different.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: If we fight, we need to do it with love,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and Billy Eilish said, fuck ice, no one is illegal
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: on stolen Land. Kilaney also had an iconic speech and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I just thought it was unlike any other awards ceremony
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: or celebrit pretty event that we'd ever seen. Like you
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: might not be interested in politics, but politics is interested
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: in you. Like, we can't separate these things out anymore.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: No, we can't ignore it when it's this big, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: like we're in a different time. Whatever's happening in the world,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Like we're in such like there's so much chaos happening,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Like you can't turn a blind eye to it anymore.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And like Mark Ruffalo is God, did he.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Lose his contract with Marvel? Rumored that he might allegedly
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: lost his contract for speaking up? Isn't that just so sad?
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I just had a rumor about it that maybe he did.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: But that's the thing, It's like, that's why we need
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: more and more people speaking up so that because it's like,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: what are you going to do?
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Fire everyone?
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Throughout the night, we also heard from a lot of winners,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: including Olivia Dean for Best New Artists, which she absolutely
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: deserved to win that. Lady Gaga also won multiple Grammys.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Bad Bunny and also you may not have seen this
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: because it wasn't shown on the Telly if you will
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: in like the main event, but Cynthia Arribo and Ariana
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Grande one a Grammy for defying gravity.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know that. Yeah, so I wasn't shown.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: There's like a mini Grammys that happens for all the
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: other categories that aren't like considered as big mainstream. Yeah,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I was so surprised that that wasn't included. But they
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: weren't there either. Yeah, so I wonder if that hasn't
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: been But Ariana Grande hasn't attended the Grammy since twenty twenty.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, does she have bay for the
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Grammys or what?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: I also wonder are we over the Wicked Fever? Are
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: we done with them?
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I'm still at the restaurant, still defying gravity. I'm still sobbing,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I'm still wowing.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: And I'm lying that.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I didn't know because she's so good.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: She is the best.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I love her.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I do not know this man. This sound's favorite one
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: is I'd Be a Rock.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: I get like like the list of her best moments
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: on my feet.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Never skied TikTok.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I also love the one where she goes but the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: two years, Wendy you weren't there, and she's the best
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: in my life. I'm going to discuss a current current
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: queen that we've already addressed and her outfit. But Sabrina Carpenter,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: so she opened and did you watch her performance? Yeah?
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: So she performed Manchild, which, like, there were so many
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: comments I saw on like reels and TikTok and being like, oh,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: she's still performing this and.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I'm like it only came out a couple of months ago.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: To move on.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: But I'm like, she has obviously had.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: So many hits that have played so much that I'm like,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I'm still subscribed literally.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: And she's been nominated for that album.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's going to put why not one of the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: biggest hits off that album. Everyone okay, But more excitingly
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: is in that performance. It was set in like an
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: airplane airport, airport, lounde tarmac kind of vibe, right, But
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: in the backscreen of the show was like destinations and
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: dates and people are theorizing that Sabrina Carpenter is doing
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a Man's Best Friend World tour.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Yes, you better be coming to Australia. I'm going to be.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Melbourn was on the list. Yeah, Melbourne was on the list.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So they had Rome, they had Nashville and on
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the list amongst it was Melbourne to be included. So
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people because we haven't gotten
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: a Sabrina tour yet outside of the Era's tour, which
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: she came to Taylors with. Yeah, I think she'll definitely
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: be coming, whether or not that was a easter egg,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: but I would say that whether it's this year or
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: maybe like the beginning of next but yeah, she's got
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to come. Yeah.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: Well, Short and Sweet was like arguably her biggest, like
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: her big breakout album.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: But I think what's called Man's I think it's just
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: as big, if not bigger.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I agree. You've seen we've seen her speaking and attending
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: so many more events, and she did that talk.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I think it was that a variety thing maybe, and she.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Was discussing, you know, how to make a viral hit
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: and how like Man's best Friend, Like that's not the
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: intention when she's writing, Like she just wants to make
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: music and if you're trying to make a viral hit,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: that's the last thing that you're going to do.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: That's the same thing with content though, trying to go viral.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: She was nominated for six awards and she didn't win.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Any I saw a little compilation of her face. I
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: don't know why people do it, But she just couldn't believe.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: She didn't win.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: But then the people that did win, though, You're like, yeah.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: I think that's like the Oscars, right, every time he
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: was nominated, there was someone who was more deserving of
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: is so incredible every time.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: I think it's the same thing with Sabrina.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Or even Beyonce too, Like she only won Best Album
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: last year and there were so many times that she
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: could have and probably should have.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Won it before that said it.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fuck.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: God, Yeah, okay, and now some quick fire of Morte
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: from the Grammys. Serena Carpenter also called out the paparazzi
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: for behaving themselves and well she credited to Chapel Ronan
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: was like, well, Chapel Rones whipped you all into shape
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: to the paparazzi, and I was like, that's amazing. Harry
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Styles also walked out to where is my husband?
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: There?
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: He is.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Ever's husband, literally people's husband.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Travis Snowell also made a joke to Hailey Bieber asking
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: for a discount code for a Liptin and Justin Bieble
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: was not a fan.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: He literally was like, he's not fun anymore.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: He's just ruined.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Like the industry, I think is just he's done.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: He made like a post in twenty sixteen about how
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: much he hated like a war ceremonies like the Grammys
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: and how he found them really really fake, and that
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: like he looked around the room and that everyone was
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: basically spiling for like the fear of the camera being
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: put on them and like them pulling a weird face,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: and that no one's actually there to celebrate you, because
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: they're there to like either network or celebrate themselves.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: And so fair is we do scrutinize every series.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I could not that I've been invited, but I it
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: would be so stressful going because like everyone's going to
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: judge your outfit. Everyone's going to judge like if you
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: like even I twitch a little bit at the fact
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: that you don't twitch.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Like yeah, being like, oh, look at her reaction. She
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: didn't win. Jesus all loser.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's like you can also be a little
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: bit disappointed if you did. I went and then Alex
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Warren's earpiece broke, which caused him to lose his timing
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: during his performance for Best New Artists, So when he
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: was performing, he was out of time and it.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Was really weird.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: You could tell something was going on because he started
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: fiddling with his earpiece, and I just felt for him
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: so much because this is obviously such a big career
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: moment for him.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: He's a new artist.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: He's definitely like stepping up out and away from like
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: you know, the TikToker musician. And anyway, during his performance,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: he was out of time, and he posted a TikTok
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: after the Grammys explaining what happened, and in his earpiece
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: this is what he could hear.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: It actually breaks my heart.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Don't just make you want to cry for him, like
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: you just not stop.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I would have just been like, that's it, cut, the
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: show must go on, Like you wouldn't be able to
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: be like cut, like you just have to push through,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: and that would be so overstimulating. That was like when
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Howry Styles performed at the Grammys as well, and he
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: performed as it was and he was on that like
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: rotating disc and it was rotating the wrong way.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: So he had like choreography.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: With dancers someone's getting fired.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and had to basically do the routine backwards, and
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: then at one point he had to like jump off
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: or like walk off the platform, and he kind of
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: like stumbled as he was going off, and yeah, it's
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: like they just have to remain professional business, right, Yeah.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: But I wonder like that's that's mortifying, like as a performer,
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: to have a bad performance, that's like not your fault. Yeah,
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: to like Devil's advocate, that's going to provide some buzz
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: for him. Yeah, maybe like offer like a redemption performance.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Or the comments were so nice and supportive. And then
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: finally my last tea is a Glandbot's done.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Alambot's like a week now.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'm I'm done And it's such a shame.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Do we think think it's just because we're over it
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: or because of the controversy with Cole both?
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: I think it's both.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I feel like both Glambots and then also the three sixty.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Cam cam Oh yeah we got over that a while ago.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Is that the one with the ring like project?
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're like the boomerang of twenty six over.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: All to provide contacts.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Cole's being canceled because of like an old email that
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: like somebody had asked for him to do the Glamdbot
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: at like a private event, and he basically just went,
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: you can't afford me, that was the energy.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Did you not say this?
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen that.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Yes, this is why Cole's being like canceled and he's
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: had to post some apology videos.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: And it's from like ten years ago.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: A woman emailed him asking for a quote because she
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: wanted him at like a wedding or is something something private,
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: and the energy he gave back in the email was
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: kind of like well, he didn't even give the price.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: He's like, you can't afford me, it's so extensive, and
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: I think he quoted something like three hundred thousand dollars
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: something obscene, right, which was like before bot, like you know,
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: heyday Woul. She's like yeah right, and so he was
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: like really salty about that. But I wonder if it
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: happened because of Jlo at the Golden Globes, So did
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: you see this? So what happened at the Golden Globes
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: for the Glambot is Jlo was really cold and she
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: just like didn't acknowledge him.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Right, He's just like, hey, how are you?
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: And she just like walks gets some position and he's
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: like talking to her explaining how the Glambot works. She
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: just turns away from him, away from the camera basically
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: getting in position to start her Glambot. He says action,
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: she does her thing, and then he's like thanks so much.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: She doesn't look him in the eye and walks away.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: But then Cole uploads that without editing it. He just
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: upsloads the entire bts of Jlo, letting it speak for itself.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Right, Oh shady.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: So I actually think.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: This is a theory online that Jalo's PR team has
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: dug up some info on Coal and posted this email
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: thread to cancel him. I think it's JLO.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: But he also posted a TikTok addressing that with Jlo
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and was like, you know, Jaylor arrived on the carpet
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: a bit late, like the carpet had closed. So that's
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: why she was like she was such a professional, Like
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: she was just rushing. She knew what she was there
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: to do. She's done Gladbot's in the past, and then
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: like she left, but he was the devil's advocate for
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: her afterwards afterwards.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: But maybe that's him trying to cover and then she's
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: dug up. So that's the theory online. But so that's
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: why there's like a little bit of you know, hate
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: towards Coal that he's like not a nice guy.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: He wasn't there for the Grammys. They had someone else.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: But I mean, like the Glandbot's still kind of slaid,
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: you know how sometimes there's so many fails and you're like.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Is it because of him?
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: I would be a fail? I would be a fail.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: There's no way I would do a good game.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: I've done won because he chok Awards and I did
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: the first.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Did you I did one two years ago and I
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: am yes, yeah, because was he nice?
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: He's lovely?
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: I actually think it's just like a humiliation ritual. Actually
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: that's what the Glandbot is. And maybe we're starting to
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: realizing and that's why it's been canceled.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I think it's just like a class thing and people
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: like it's become like it's become a like the fact
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: that it's now easier to access and is at so
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: many events has taken it off the pedestal special. Yeah,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: that it's less special now. It became a trend. And
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: as trends do, they diy.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: The gen zs have just decided it's not cool and yeah,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: it's like emojis apparently.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Literally, Oh, I'm going to use emojis into will be
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: on like my funeral.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: And there'll be the death emojis above your head.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Literally dead. Literally, I'm literally dead. Oh my god.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Okay, Maddie me what let me bring it up.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: I'm less prepared than you girls, but I have not
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: seen the Grammys because I've been too obsessed with Bridgeton.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: And we will be having spoilers, yes, so if you
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: sorry haven't seen it fast forward, we'll put the time
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: stamps in the show notes that you know which parts
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: to skip through or just pause this episode, go watch.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: It and then come back that you can hear what
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: we think.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: Season four, part one, yes, has dropped, and I have
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: to say, Bridgeton is so back.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: It's so bad.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Really scared you're going to say, like so back.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: I love it so much. I'm actually rewatching season one again.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Oh my gos.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: I did this for Stranger Things as well.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: Part one dropped, then I watched the whole series again,
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: and then part two dropped, So I'm doing it again
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: for Bridgeton. And I think that we kind of fell
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: out of love with Bridgeton in season three.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: I don't know what your opinions were of it, but
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: it just didn't land in the same world.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: It didn't.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there were a few things about season three that
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: I didn't love. I felt like the chemistry between the
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: main couples weren't there. I felt like it was a
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: bit forced. There were too many storylines, and they had
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: press on nails and fucking cock creases. And you know,
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: now that I'm going back to season one Bridgeton, I'm
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: noticing that there was much simpler in its makeup and
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: its design and it's costuming, which kind of let the
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: story in the romance shine. And I'm finding that's happening
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: with season four.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Going back to its room.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I really feel like there's a strong chemistry
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: between the main couples. We've got Benedict and Sophie. Sophie's Australian,
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: which we love to see, so she's gorgeous. So I'm
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: just really obsessed with with the storyline.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: What do you guys think is the best Bridgiton season?
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Season two? Season two?
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: I agree?
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: I agree Season two without a doubt.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: The chemistry between Jonathan Bailey and Simoan Ashley, Yeah, incredible.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: Jonathan Bailey could have chemistry with a Yeah, like his
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: chemistry with literally Cynthia Ribo, His chemistry with like, no,
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: he has chemistry with me.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but he could though, Yeah, like it as well.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: I found out actually how they do the sex scenes, well,
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: at least for Jonathan Bailey's sex scenes, if they have
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: a half inflated volleyball between their groins, and that's how
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: they can like thrust.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: So because you're like, I think about it? What okay?
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: As hard?
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I find that out.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: I saw it somewhere. It was probably a TikTok, you know,
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: which is a.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Reliable the bridgit for the bridgist and spy scenes. They
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: inflate a volleyball and put it between their nether region.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: Let me give you some behind the scenes about being
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: an actor and an intimacy scene because it's choreographed like
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: a dance, like it has to be. You have to
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: ask permission for every place that you touch a person beforehand.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: You can't just improvise a sex scene, right, It's so
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: not on, especially in twenty twenty six. There has to
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: be permissioned. They have what's called an intimacy coordinator or coach,
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: and you'll choreograph a sex scene beforehand. But bridgis and
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: sex scenes are so intense that you right, so by
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: the way, Violet Violet, Oh.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: My god, she has eight billion children now kicking my feet,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: I have a billion children.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: So she looked amazing.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: Also really want to have a pre coel series for
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: her and her husband like they did with a Queen Charlotte.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, that would be great.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: And I was watching season one last night and like
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: some of the sex scenes between Daphne and the Duke,
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, they are surely they're fucking. Yeah's penis
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: is in her right?
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, how are they not? It's a volleyball, volleyball.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Imagine being that volleyball because, oh my god, that volleyball
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: has also had eight children.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Wilson Wilson Jr.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: Because also like, as a woman, if I get aroused,
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: I can hide that.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I always think that.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I always think that because your body would just like
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: male actors body. Surely they're just like reacting to the
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: emotion of the ocean.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, surely you're getting hard you have to.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Anyway, I'm loving it, but I have some questions for
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: you girls about the new season. Okay, firstly, we have
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: a trope or like a storyline that is inspired season four,
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: which is Cinderella.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we brought this up. Well, you brought this up
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: when we watched the first two. Yes, it's because you
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: already knew.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I could tell. You could tell from the trailer.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: So I haven't even read the book.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: And the trailer was very very much giving Cinderella retelling, which, like,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: there are so many stories that use classics, if you will,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: as like a retelling like Akatar is actually a beauty
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: in the beast retelling.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: So it's like the Lion King as Hamlet.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yes, but I just I don't know.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's a little bit too close to
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: the Cinderella storyline. I feel like in the first episode
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: it was almost exactly too obvious. Yeah, and then as
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: it has gone on, by the fourth episode, it has
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: veered away a story which I was thankful for because
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I was like, if she starts speaking to mice, like,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: it's too far. As much as I love Cinderella, but
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: it just feels unless like each season was like heavily
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: based on fairy Tale, a well known story, then that
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: would make sense. But then all of a sudden, for
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: season four to be so heavily influenced by Cinderella, it
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: kind of like it felt.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Like felt a bit out of play.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: It felt like kind of like they've run out of
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: juice and they're they're cheating and they're they're lazy, and
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: they're like, oh, let's just steal another storyline. I actually
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: love it. Okay, I'm loving the Cinderella storyline. And now
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: that I'm going back to season one, each season does
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: have a trope, a romance trope.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Like the first one is.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Like the fake fake dating, fake dating.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Season two Enemies to Love Us.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, season three is Friends to Love Us and now
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: we've got a Cinderella.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: So there is like kind of like a trope kind
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: of thing in every season.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Other things I want to bring up is the soundtrack.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: How do we think of the songs?
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Love it?
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: So far?
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: We've had Paramore, we've had Olivia Rodrigo.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I had in chance of the Olivia Rodrigo orchestral score.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not agree, to be honest. I like the Olivia
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Rodrigo song.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I don't think it translated super well with the orchestral score.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: No, I agree.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: I think it was a fun choice for what they
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: were doing, because what they were doing is a bad idea, right, Yeah,
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: but it didn't a lot.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: It was it was like during the sex like farewell.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was making me like stress, I don't want
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: to stimulate it.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah maybe that was the point.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, to wrap this one up, though, what did
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: we all think of?
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Be my Mistress pissed me off.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: But it means that there's a redemption arc, so I'm excited.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Be my Mistress is giving. I'm not really ready
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: for a relationship, but I really enjoy getting to know you. Yeah,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: and as our single girl on the couch, what do
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: you mean?
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: No, it's so true though, it is, which actually maybe
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: that's why I love it, because I'm like, it's so real.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: It's so real. People don't want to commit.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: It's like what you want me for every other part
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: of being a girlfriend except for actually being your girlfriend.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah fucked, but I'll do it because people pleaser and
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: I like the attention.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, come on now, my what's the tea?
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: MC beauty is pushing back on soul dejian eio lawsuit
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: your joke?
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: So I feel like every girl that is always like
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: how do they not get sued?
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Is sat.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Every time I see them in the stores, I'm like,
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: I don't get it.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how yeah?
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Tell us and there are quite a few different facets
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: of the lawsuit that they're pushing back against, which I
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: think will give us an idea of how they get
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: away with it and how they.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Haven't been sued in the past. So how we got here?
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Let's give a little bit of background info.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: So all of this.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Information is alleged and not affact law We're not.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Layalizers this we're fine.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we'll put links in the show notes as
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: well to where we saw some of this information alleged and.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Reported, So if you want to do some more deep diving.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: But yeah, we're not lawyers. This is just what we've
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: seen the internet so far. Just tea it is. So, yeah,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: how we got here?
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Sol Degenero first Suit and co Beauty. In November twenty
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: twenty four, they were alleging that the brand copied the packaging,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: color schemes, and branding of its shirosa Body missed range.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: When you also put the advertisements next to each other,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: the similarities are pretty wild. Yeah, So in an amended
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: complaint that was fooled on November twenty twenty five, so
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: that's almost a year later. Soldi Geneio went further claiming
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: that MC beauty ran a coordinated influencer and review strategy,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: including comparative advertising, which was designed to trade on Soldigenio's goodwill,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: mislead customers, and violate trademark law as well as FTC
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: endorsement guidelines. Fast forward to MC Beauty's defense and what
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: they're challenging in the lawsuit.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: So the first thing was duke culture.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: So MCO Beauty says that the company says that its
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: business model does openly draw inspiration from trends which are
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: popularized by higher price brands, and that this approach is
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: both common and legal. It points to the rise of
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: dupe culture, which it says is widely recognized and fueled
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: by social media influencers and rail content, and is embraced
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: by consumers who are looking for more affordable alternatives. And
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: then to back that up, MC beauty cited a twenty
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: twenty three Business inside a survey which showed that seventy
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: one percent of gen Z and sixty seven percent of
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: millennials regularly buy dupes of more expensive beauty products. So,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: according to MCO Beauty, they're saying that the trend reflects
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: ordinary competition and isn't consumer deception.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, except that we're buying juops that aren't marketed as
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: being exact copies. Yeah, they're ones that we've figured out
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: on our own. We're like, oh, I love this slipliner.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: It's almost a dupe for this slip liner, but it's
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: not because it's packaged identically the same.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: That's where I feel like they're kind of crossing a line,
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: like Charlotte Tilbury flawless filter that the bottle is the same.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think even down to the fonts.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: You they are also coming out with road dupe, Oh
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: my god, and like even the names and.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: With thesaurus and just like right clicked and found it
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: like a different name, so it like it's flawless.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: So then they I don't know what the MC beauty
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: want is. Yeah, it's too similar.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I think there's also like a valid, you know, argument
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: from people that if they can make it for this
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: much money, why am I paying so much money more
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: for the high end brand?
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah? But I think what maybe people forget to put
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: it into that equation is that it costs less to
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: dupe a product because you don't have to spend years
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: and years ideating on formulas and trend forecasts and execution
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: you don't then have to pay a graphic designer, You
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: don't have to create a team for ideation.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: You also then.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Don't have to pay for marketing because the marketing does
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: itself for you. So speaking of the design that was
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: part of the lawsuit as well. In regards to that,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: MC beauty addressed the claims by arguing that the design
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: elements at issue, including the bottle shape and the fonts,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: are generic, functionable, and not protectable. It emphasizes that the
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: trade dress is unregistered and says Sole Degenera failed to
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: adequately a legend, non functionality or secondary meaning.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: So that might be true. I guess maybe they didn't
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: protect the packaging. Maybe it is fair game.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: But then I guess, like on your point before, it's like,
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: but maybe these other brands are getting out of our
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: reach price wise, and so maybe it's like also making
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: a comment on making makeup more accessible, why are they
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: so expensive, like if they can be made cheaper. Like,
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: I agree with you that there was years of ideation.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: There's so much more money and time invested in creating
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: a product. But there are some products that I see and.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: I'm like, it's actually crazy it's wild.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: It's something that I wear every day. I am not
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: reaching for a two hundred bottle of foundation.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Cod thing is there are accessible and affordable products
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: that don't copy, that don't copy, Okay, Like that isn't
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: the only way to provide an alternative. It's like an
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: affordable alternative. But interestingly as well, MC beauty argues that
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Sole Digenero hasn't been hurt by the Jews financially, and
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: MC beauty actually points to Sole Dijenio's own public statements
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: about its success, including more than four hundred and fifty
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: million dollars in revenue in six months and a nineteen
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: percent year over year increase in US sales. So it's
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: basically pulling up sold Ejoneier's numbers and being like, did
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: it really hurt you that bad?
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Like you've had a pretty good year.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: I wonder if, like, yeah, I thought this is really interesting.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: So I wonder if it's like, oh, no, you're not,
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: we're not stealing customers from you because people want the
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: real thing. Now, maybe you are actually helping you out
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: because it's like I didn't get the jupe, I have
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: the real thing.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the results of this lawsuit will be
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: really interesting. I will definitely set the tone for like
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: jupe culture as a whole. Yeah, because I think for
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: like both ends, I see people saying, you know, we
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: can't afford these ridiculously expensive makeup products, and that's too much.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: And I also see the other side around the ethics
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: of like make affordable options, but you don't need to
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: rip off brands that have worked hard to create their product. Yeah.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: And then I was going to say as well on
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: the false advertising claims as well, because they've worked with
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: influencers or just content creators even you know, individually have
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: created content around the dupes and comparing the two products.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: And some people have said, like they smell exactly the
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: same and pointed out that they're.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: The exact same product.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: But MC Beauty's argument is, we never said that.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: That was somebody else.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: If m CO losers, what's going to happen to the
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: whole brand? They'll have to read that.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I think people will still they would just have to
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: change I would assume no lawyer, they would just have
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: to change that miss But I think it would probably
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: be the catalyst for a lot of brands that have
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: been duped to come out of the woodwork and throw
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: their hat in the ring. I think there'd be a
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: lot of time spending. Court room lois a load of money.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Do we know when, like we'll have the next installment? Yeah,
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, I don't have to keep everyone updated the next
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: what's to tea? I know?
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Well that's a wrap.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Exciting and I want everyone else to comment as well,
