0:08

Uh, okay.

0:12

Uh, what a,

0:14

you know, what a, what a

0:16

two weeks it's been. Um,

0:18

if you listen to my last

0:20

episode, you know, um, then

0:23

my whole family got

0:25

sick. And so we've

0:27

just been hunkering down.

0:29

And then the whole

0:31

tick tock thing happened,

0:33

which was fucking crazy because

0:35

I found myself like

0:37

on Saturday night, you

0:39

know, I knew that I was going to care.

0:41

Like I knew I cared and I was, I

0:43

was worried about it. I love scrolling on tick

0:45

tock. Like it's just, it's so much fun.

0:47

I discover so many new things. I

0:49

knew I was going to care.

0:51

I didn't realize how much I would

0:54

care not to be a loser.

0:56

Um, but I started

0:58

seeing everyone posting their

1:00

goodbye videos. And mind you, I

1:02

was so resentful of Bo because he

1:04

got sick before me. So all Saturday

1:07

day, he was sick. And so I

1:09

was with the two kids alone. So

1:11

I couldn't go on tick tock once

1:13

until I put them down for bed,

1:15

which was like, which gave me like

1:17

25 minutes between the blackout. So I

1:19

was on tick tock for 25 minutes.

1:21

That's it. Seeing all of these goodbye

1:24

videos. And I almost started crying just

1:26

like watching this girl, like her name's

1:28

like Jenna Jones. I love following her

1:30

for like Victorian content. And like she

1:32

was just saying goodbye. I'm like,

1:34

Oh my God, like am I

1:36

going to cry? This is kind

1:38

of insane. And then to just

1:40

get that message, like just

1:44

what? Like I, I then

1:46

to put it into perspective a

1:48

little bit, like realized that like

1:50

seven days prior, I was walking

1:52

around my home talking to it,

1:55

touching it, blessing

1:58

it, saying goodbye. saying

2:00

you're so strong you've got this

2:02

I love you even if you don't

2:04

got this like thank you for everything

2:06

that you've done for me and my

2:08

family saying goodbye to my house just

2:10

in case and then cut two seven days

2:13

later the next Saturday night I

2:15

didn't even get to say goodbye to

2:17

tick-talk so then I just started panicking

2:19

I'm like wait wait who I didn't

2:22

even get to say goodbye that was

2:24

just ripped from me I ran upstairs

2:26

and I was like bow I can't believe

2:28

you were sick today, and I didn't

2:30

even get to say goodbye on TikTok.

2:33

And then I didn't know what to

2:35

do with myself, and my friend

2:37

Christina Kelly texted me, she's like,

2:39

you should watch the Molly Mae

2:41

documentary, it's pretty good. So I

2:43

put it on, it was really

2:45

good, love it, highly recommend, and

2:47

then I realize, wow, maybe it's

2:49

good that Tik is away, because

2:51

I can focus on other things,

2:53

like, you know, read more, watch more

2:56

shows. I don't know. Get a hobby,

2:58

you know, start something new.

3:00

Like the other day, I mended,

3:02

like I showed and

3:05

fixed Hartford's cardigan.

3:07

Who am I? Martha.

3:09

Like, that, I could do more

3:11

things like that if I

3:14

wasn't spending my time on

3:16

TikTok. I could just like

3:18

live life. Even like me

3:20

and my nanny were texting about

3:22

it. I was like, hey, are

3:24

you feeling okay? Because she was

3:26

sick too. We've all been sick.

3:29

And she's like, you know, I'm

3:31

feeling a little bit better. I

3:33

was like, okay, glad. I was

3:35

like, but what about TikTok? And

3:37

she's like, I know. And I'm

3:39

like, this is crazy. This is

3:41

mental. And then the next day,

3:43

she was, she was the reason

3:45

I found out that TikTok are

3:47

off. I don't know

3:50

if that's true yet. I

3:52

haven't spent enough time on it.

3:54

Because again, sick. All of us are

3:56

sick in this house. What do

3:58

you mean the vibe? are off because

4:00

I'm still seeing most of the things

4:03

that I I normally see maybe

4:05

just mine is the only one

4:07

that the vibes aren't off. Now I feel

4:09

like the vibes are off because people

4:11

are telling me that the vibes are

4:13

off. So when Bo asked me, he

4:15

said, how does it feel that I'm

4:17

tick-tock back? Is it the same? I

4:19

was like, it's not the same. And

4:21

I was like, oh my God, I'm

4:23

literally just regurgitating what I'm seeing other

4:25

people saying. I don't know if it's

4:27

the same or not. Everyone's just telling

4:29

me that it's not the same. I

4:33

recorded before Christmas with a

4:35

tick-talker that I love to

4:38

fucking follow Max Bileg Day.

4:40

He's British, he is hysterical,

4:42

and I wanted to just

4:45

like get this record with him

4:47

as soon as he was available.

4:49

And so I did it back

4:52

before Christmas before we had

4:54

all this long break and you

4:56

know, everyone takes like four million

4:59

months off for the holidays. Come

5:01

to find out he is now

5:03

on I'm a celebrity

5:06

get me out of

5:08

here Australia and Australian

5:11

version right now. So

5:13

he's in South Africa

5:15

just like struggle city

5:18

I guess like real

5:20

talk the way that I could

5:22

never I could never last

5:25

on a show like that ever

5:27

you could offer me You know,

5:30

everyone has a price. I'm

5:32

trying to think of what mine

5:34

is. Maybe five million. But like,

5:36

I don't know, I actually haven't

5:38

fully seen the show ever, and like,

5:41

I've seen, like, clips of it. I

5:43

just don't think I would do well.

5:45

Like, it just, it sounds like I

5:48

would, I'd, no. And also, given the

5:50

fact that, like, I've realized I

5:52

would die first in a horror

5:54

movie, like, and I panic and

5:56

freeze or, or, like, like, it

5:58

just... High stress environments

6:01

might not be for me. You know, it

6:03

might not be for me. I don't mean

6:05

emotionally high stress. I

6:07

can handle that. Mentally high stress,

6:09

but like physical high stress? No,

6:12

thank you. Not for me. Anyway,

6:14

I hope everyone enjoys this episode.

6:16

I just felt like I had

6:18

to come on and say something

6:20

first because again, a month ago

6:22

and he's on, he's literally filming

6:25

right now. Rooting for him?

6:27

He's so funny. Love you guys!

6:29

Okay. We did it. We did

6:31

it. That was funny. I really

6:33

liked when he said, oh bloody

6:35

hell, what have I done? I

6:38

know that's not your accent. I

6:40

was going to say, do I

6:42

sound like that much like Lisa

6:45

Bander poem? Jeez. Not... Where are

6:47

you from? Where are you from?

6:49

Where in? So I'm from the

6:51

north of the UK. Very

6:53

different to how I imagine

6:56

Lisa grew up. Yeah, very

6:58

much like kind of like

7:00

rough people sort of so

7:02

I'm a little bit rough

7:04

and ready. Listen Max I

7:07

7:09

period pieces and they all

7:11

take place in the rough

7:13

the rough areas of England. You know,

7:15

that's where the other two goes.

7:17

I know it, you know, your

7:19

voice just reminds me, it's like

7:21

comfort to me because it's just,

7:23

it's giving historical fiction dramas. Wow.

7:26

You know what, you are absolutely the

7:28

only person that's ever said that. But

7:30

I'm going to take it. Absolutely.

7:33

You know, I like a creative

7:35

compliment. What can I say? Thank

7:37

you so much for doing this.

7:39

This is a different type of

7:41

episode today because... I have, you

7:43

are so funny, let me just

7:45

say. We have so much in

7:47

common. We both pregame to things

7:49

by listening to the greatest showman.

7:51

We're both Disney adults. I love

7:53

your takes on everything. In case

7:55

7:57

you need to follow him immediately.

8:00

Max, can you pronounce your last

8:02

name? Because Blegday. You smashed it.

8:04

You just absolutely smashed it. So I

8:06

listened to like, I had to like

8:09

go searching the dark web to find

8:11

how to pronounce your last name. And

8:13

I went to go listen to like

8:15

podcast that you were on so that

8:18

like to hear someone else announce your

8:20

name. And no one did. They'd be

8:22

like, Max, the one and only

8:24

Max. Everyone shines away from it.

8:26

Everyone shines away from it. Go

8:28

on. Why, why, give it a

8:31

go? Well, I nailed it. Thank

9:43

going to, throughout this entire experience,

9:46

10:10

to binge watch an entire TV show

10:14

and then fall in love with specifically

10:16

one person in particular on that TV

10:18

show get drunk while some holiday in

10:20

New York comment on one of the

10:28

know what it could be 1 a .m.

10:30

and I would be right here so

10:32

first of all that just

10:35

like sounded like the

10:37

most romantic matchup like the

10:39

most romantic introduction like if you

10:41

and I were both straight and

10:43

single like that would we would

10:45

fall in love listen listen I might

10:47

not be straight in the

10:49

slightest but who's to say that

10:51

I'm not completely erect right

10:54

now I don't know that's the

10:56

compliment now thank you

10:58

thank you I want to

11:00

ask you some things because I

11:02

am a little bit obsessed

11:04

with like British culture and I've

11:06

got you I've got you and like

11:09

stereotypical British things

11:11

like I love the royal

11:13

family I love that

11:15

like old money aristocrat like you're

11:17

a duker duchess whatever vibe

11:19

give me all of that

11:21

my tiktok is filled with

11:23

all this shit and I

11:25

need to know do you

11:28

howl laughing

11:30

when people like me

11:32

as basic bitches in America

11:34

are like yes British old

11:36

money culture like are you

11:38

even aware of it I'm

11:41

so aware of it because since this

11:43

like became a job I've had opportunities

11:45

to go out to like LA and

11:47

like place and like New York and

11:49

stuff like that and I did it

11:51

because obviously being from the UK I grow

11:53

up in a lot of

11:55

the media that I like absorb

11:57

is American culture so In

12:00

that exact same vein, I grew up watching

12:02

all American TV shows like Disney Channel, everything

12:04

like that. So I was obsessed with American

12:06

culture. I was like, oh my god, like

12:08

one day I'm going to go to New

12:10

York and I'm going to like suddenly be

12:12

able to sing musical theater and like I'm

12:14

going to go to see Wicked and going

12:17

to call me up on stage and like

12:19

and I romanticized this whole part of it

12:21

thinking that the UK is absolute trash. And

12:23

then when I went over to America and

12:25

people were like, you're from the UK, do

12:27

you know Prince Harry? And I was

12:29

like, what? Like this is a whole

12:31

thing. And I mean, in terms of the

12:33

royal family, that is so

12:35

interesting that like, I

12:38

mean, it's kind of a

12:40

generational things. Like if you were

12:42

to ask my mom, she would

12:44

be like the royal family or

12:46

everything. Like what happened with Diana

12:48

changed me as a person, watching

12:50

those boys grow up. Like it's

12:53

crazy the level of like how

12:55

into it they are. Whereas my

12:57

generation, we kind of didn't

12:59

grow up with that. So like

13:01

I work with the king's

13:03

charity that he has. Oh

13:06

my god, that is the ugliest thing I've

13:08

ever heard. That is very pretty.

13:10

I work with the king's charity. I

13:12

work with the king now that

13:14

I think about it. You were the

13:16

hand of the king. No, like

13:18

you're the hand of the king. Like

13:20

Game of Thrones. Probably his left hand. Yeah.

13:24

So he has a charity over here

13:26

that used to be called the Prince's Trust and

13:28

now is called the King's Trust. And every

13:31

year since this became my job, I've done their

13:33

red carpet and I've got to like go

13:35

to the big event. Like they do a huge

13:37

award show that's televised every year. And I've

13:39

seen him in person quite a few times, which

13:41

is so cool. But it's

13:43

interesting. Like

13:45

I'd say like people more like mine

13:48

than yours age. Like if you were

13:50

from the UK, you'd be very conscious

13:52

of the royal family. But I don't

13:54

think you'd be like, oh my god,

13:56

like, you know, they are our leader.

14:00

they rule with an iron fist sort of thing.

14:02

I think you just be like, okay, yeah,

14:04

they're there and like, they do nice

14:06

bits for charity and like, it's less

14:08

emphasised to be able to mean. I

14:10

am just so jealous that you have a

14:13

royal family, like that has jewels and just

14:15

like dirty secrets and all those things, like

14:17

we, I want that for our country and

14:19

it just, you have the Kardashians, I

14:22

guess. That's true, jewels and dirty

14:24

secrets. 100% The title of your

14:26

fourth book, I'm sure. Love it.

14:28

Wait, do you have a big, can I

14:30

ask you your opinion on Megan

14:32

Markle, give it to me real?

14:35

Go for it. Just straight up.

14:37

I'm for Megan Markle, which is

14:39

a very controversial take. No, no,

14:41

no, no. Okay, because I am

14:44

like a huge Megan Markle fan,

14:46

but I'm the only one here. Really.

14:48

I'm the only one here. No,

14:51

no. So in the UK,

14:53

it's again very split between

14:55

that generation that upholds the

14:57

royal family as like God

14:59

and our leaders are against

15:01

Megan Markle because they believe

15:03

that she went against them.

15:05

However, a lot of people,

15:07

my generation are like, guys, you

15:09

know, she was a kind of normal

15:11

girl, like that got thrust into this

15:13

world that is not real life. at

15:16

all like this whole royal family vibe

15:18

is like very bizarre so we have

15:20

more empathy for that if you get

15:22

what I mean yeah so I would

15:25

say a lot of people around our

15:27

age would be pro-megamarkle definitely in the

15:29

UK That makes me so happy because

15:31

I'm like sitting here feeling like I'm

15:33

the only one I'm the last one

15:35

on the battlefield I like we've already

15:38

like my side's already lost we've already

15:40

lost and I'm the only one left

15:42

looking at all these dead bodies and

15:44

I'm the only one waving the flag

15:47

still as if the war is still

15:49

happening the battle still happening I love

15:51

Megan Markle so much I just feel

15:53

like she has hashtag boundaries but also

15:55

Jenzi like younger people understand hashtag

15:58

boundaries you know She So

16:00

I only knew her from suits.

16:02

So I was like- I've never

16:04

watched that. I didn't even know

16:06

who she was. I just thought

16:08

she was really pretty and

16:11

dressed well. And I was like,

16:13

love her. That's all I needed.

16:15

That's all I needed. We all

16:17

have different hair goals. Okay, like

16:19

do you want to grow it

16:21

out? Are you trying to heal

16:23

damaged strands? I just want to

16:25

maintain what I have. Don't want

16:27

to lose any more hair. You

16:29

know, I'm fine. You know, I

16:31

feel good about it. Like, I

16:33

feel like my hair is not

16:35

damaged. It's pretty healthy. I just

16:37

want to keep it okay. But

16:39

that starts with scalp health. This

16:41

is the way to a healthy scalp.

16:43

Get to the root of your healthy

16:45

hair goals with ways scalp care that

16:47

will get your strands looking stronger fuller

16:50

and healthier. I've been using Way products

16:52

for so long. My favorite is the

16:54

detox for so long. all of the

16:56

things I put in my hair out,

16:58

I mean just the word detox, am

17:00

I right? So it's like a hair

17:02

reset, like all the hair spray, dry

17:04

shampoo, like just anything, I feel like

17:07

it's just super clean. Also my other

17:09

favorite one is their leave in conditioner,

17:11

like I use it on

17:13

myself, I use it on

17:15

Hartford, it smells so good

17:17

17:19

19:02

a makeup girlie, I love makeup,

19:04

but you will rarely ever see

19:06

me leave the house without makeup.

19:08

Like I'm not one of those,

19:11

it's just like throw my hair,

19:13

put on some mascara and leave.

19:15

No, never. But... I have a

19:17

few products that I regularly use

19:19

all the time and Thrive Cosmetics

19:21

beauty products. They are a huge

19:23

part of that and I love

19:26

that they are certified 100% vegan

19:28

and cruelty free made with clean

19:30

skin-loving ingredients high performance and trademarked

19:32

formulas. I feel good when I use

19:34

Thrive Cosmetics. Now let me tell you

19:36

about my favorite ones, okay? First, they're

19:39

mascara. They're liquid lash extensions, mascara, not

19:41

joking, okay? Like, I should have had

19:43

this, especially when I was on van

19:45

der Pomp rolls. It's like I could

19:47

have really used mascara that didn't run

19:50

down my face. I think it's because

19:52

it's the tubing formula. It's like, there's

19:54

no flaking, you don't see it underneath

19:56

your eyes, you put it on, and

19:58

it is like lash. Not joking game

20:01

changer. I also love their

20:03

eyeshadow sticks their eye brightener

20:05

You can just put them

20:07

in your purse and like

20:09

if you ever feel like

20:11

you just like need a

20:13

little something extra with your

20:15

face using just the little

20:18

sticks and eye brightener It

20:20

just makes the biggest difference

20:22

and I love the cute

20:24

turquoise packaging also Thrive cosmetics

20:26

20:28

gives a USE M-E-T-I-C-S dot

20:30

com slash stossie for 20%

20:32

off your first order Prince

20:34

Harry as a whole has always

20:37

been like that kind of wild

20:39

child of the modern of the

20:41

royal family like when he was

20:43

growing up there was room at

20:45

some like there's a club and

20:48

have you been to London a

20:50

lot yes yes yes I have oh three

20:52

or four times Oh my gosh, yeah, I

20:54

thought I recognized you. You're one

20:56

of those people that were the

20:58

big black hat that stands guard

21:00

in front of the Buckingham Palace, aren't

21:02

you? You know, I probably, I dress

21:05

on theme when I'm there, so, you

21:07

know, you might have confused me for

21:09

one of them. I love a

21:11

theme. Yes, often confused with an

21:13

iron god, stacity, yeah. So, so

21:15

while she was over here and

21:17

that was kind of becoming a

21:19

thing, Prince Harry's reputation, a good

21:21

few years before So there's a

21:23

club in London called The Box,

21:25

I think there's one in New York

21:28

as well. Yeah, I've been to the one

21:30

in New York. Yes. Well, the one in

21:32

London is crazy. I know, there's

21:34

literally people on stage who like

21:36

poop out things from their butts. No,

21:38

it's like wild. Yeah, I've never actually,

21:41

do you know like, like in sitcoms or

21:43

something where they'll see something else, like someone

21:45

will pick the nose and they'll be like,

21:47

like. I've never done that in real life

21:50

and I didn't know that that happened in

21:52

real life but I watched something happen at

21:54

the box that was so grotesque that I

21:56

actually vomited like my my bodily trigger was

21:59

to just bomb there on the spot and

22:01

I got nearly kicked out of the club.

22:03

That fully tracks for the box. Yeah.

22:05

Well Prince Harry, you used to go

22:07

there a lot. So it was like...

22:09

So they put stories about, I don't

22:11

know if he was on stage doing

22:13

said activities. However, he was like, he

22:15

would go there a lot. So we

22:18

would get fed things like through like

22:20

the tabloids and the newspapers like Prince

22:22

Harry, wild child, like he's so crazy.

22:24

Oh my God, like he's in the

22:26

royal family, but he drinks alcohol like

22:28

this new cool guy. And then he

22:30

like kind of got into the Navy

22:32

or the Air Force. and became like,

22:34

oh, but now he's like, he's

22:36

like, he represents his country,

22:38

so he's so amazing, so

22:41

charitable and everything. And then,

22:43

oh, he's got this new

22:45

girlfriend who's from America. Like,

22:47

that's kind of crazy, but

22:49

you know, we're also happy

22:51

for them. And then I

22:53

think basically it just became

22:55

this thing of, oh, but

22:57

Harry now, is he going

22:59

back to his wild side? Is

23:01

she gonna turn him back? Like

23:03

it was a brain for himself.

23:05

Like, of course a man, a

23:07

man made the decision. It must

23:10

have been that woman. She made

23:12

him. I don't, thank you, thank

23:14

you. This is why I ride

23:16

so hard from her. Do you

23:18

know that there's a rumor? Well,

23:20

you don't know. I'm going to

23:22

tell you. There's a rumor. Again,

23:24

dark, like down deep in the web.

23:27

You got to, you got to scroll

23:29

like a few things that's ever

23:31

happened to me. Like, That's

23:33

incredible. I feel so special and I

23:35

have reporters calling me like and my

23:38

husband at least like a few times

23:40

a year to be like can you

23:42

please comment on this and we like

23:44

won't respond because we want the rumor

23:47

to continue going but I'll talk

23:49

about it. Like I won't confirm nor

23:51

deny was that good. Your soldier outfit

23:53

was that good that they were like

23:55

she must have to a member of

23:57

the royal family. 100% no but our

24:00

kids. exactly the same so

24:02

they thought everyone thinks not

24:04

everyone people think that I lent

24:06

my daughter to read it yeah to

24:08

Megan Markle and Prince Harry so

24:10

that they could just release photos

24:13

of my daughter and say that

24:15

that's little a bit because they

24:17

look so much alike that's

24:19

crazy even even looking at

24:21

your backdrop right now Stacey

24:23

that's giving British it's

24:26

giving British crown jewels I

24:28

try so hard thank you British

24:30

crown jewels. That's given like,

24:32

you'd been in like Hampstead in, which

24:34

is where Harry Stiles, so I live

24:36

like 10 minutes away. I like

24:38

to, I basically pretend that I

24:40

live in Hampstead because that's where

24:43

Harry Stiles lives, but I live

24:45

like a five minute driveway and

24:47

sometimes I walk around and pretend

24:49

like it's my local area. But

24:51

that pattern looks like a random

24:53

boutique, like would just have it

24:55

on its wall in Hampstead. That's

24:57

definitely giving that. God, I feel

24:59

so good about myself right now.

25:01

This, this, this, this was designed,

25:03

this is, you can't get it.

25:06

It's bespoke, you know, like, whoa.

25:08

I had a vision and then

25:10

told some, told someone to create

25:13

it, a graphic designer, and she

25:15

did a great job. So thank

25:17

you for that. There you go.

25:19

Okay, so I'm gonna, I

25:21

won't bother you too much

25:23

about British culture. Maybe I

25:25

will, British culture. before you

25:27

even said that you were obsessed

25:29

with American culture was what about

25:32

American culture makes you cringe because

25:34

I'm embarrassed like when I went

25:36

to come sit down here I

25:38

was like I have my big

25:40

water tumbler that like every American

25:42

has and no fucking way any person

25:44

from the UK owns one of these

25:47

like I feel like it would be

25:49

so embarrassing so cringe. You would be

25:51

surprised is that Stanley? No, we don't

25:53

like Stanley. We like Simple Modern. The

25:55

Stanleys are over there. They're ugly. Yeah,

25:57

that's true. That's true. To be fair

25:59

though. I've, what is so

26:01

common is something happens in

26:04

America. Everybody in the

26:06

UK is like, that's crazy. And then

26:08

a year later, the exact same thing

26:10

happens in the UK. So even places

26:12

like, I would even say

26:14

as far as, I mean, something that makes me

26:16

cringe about America is the customer

26:18

service. When I go somewhere,

26:20

I don't know whether it's just

26:22

because I am so British

26:24

and like, you know, it's cloudy,

26:26

miserable every single day. So

26:28

my often like, optimum typical level

26:30

is like, don't speak to

26:32

me as I'm walking around stores

26:34

and things like that. But

26:36

I was just in New York

26:38

and like, you walk into a store and

26:41

they like, well, how can I help you today? How

26:43

can I, how can I be of service today? And

26:45

it's like, oh, I don't want to,

26:47

I don't want to sell you. And if I don't want to buy

26:49

anything that you have to offer

26:52

anyone. And that's weird because why

26:54

does someone being nice make me

26:56

think, get out my face, you

26:58

big fat weirdo, like what's going

27:00

on there in my head? I

27:02

don't quite know. But yeah. Well,

27:05

because you know that the ulterior motive

27:07

is there. No, this is why I

27:09

only shop online. Like I don't go

27:11

in stores anymore. If I go in

27:14

store into a store, it has to

27:16

either be out of complete desperation, like

27:18

need something within the hour or like

27:20

my life is falling apart. It's falling apart.

27:22

And that's why you see me in a

27:24

store. Like those are the only, to

27:26

everything is bought online because I don't feel

27:28

like dealing with social interaction. Yeah,

27:31

that's exactly it though. Like the

27:33

tipping culture. I'm sure that you've, you

27:35

know, like you have to realize

27:37

how strange it is to go over

27:39

there. The first time I ever

27:42

went to America as an adult, I

27:44

went to New York with my

27:46

sister like two years ago. And we

27:48

were so excited. And for like

27:50

the first few days we were like,

27:52

so weird, all of the like

27:54

staff starts so nice. And then they

27:57

get so rude towards the end. Like

28:00

understand what's happening and then

28:02

we realize you have to tip

28:04

everywhere. We had no idea, like

28:06

genuinely no idea and in the

28:08

UK you would never tip someone.

28:10

I'm talking unless like they gave

28:12

you something for free or like

28:14

you're there for a while like

28:17

you've been in this restaurant all

28:19

night, it's your birthday, your mum's

28:21

just got married and she gave

28:23

birth at the same time like

28:25

at the same event. and like

28:27

the server brings you your newborn

28:29

in like this beautiful like champagne

28:31

like bucket with like bottles of

28:33

champagne coming out of it and

28:35

you're like oh my god that's

28:38

so kind here is 50 pounds

28:40

at most like like it's so

28:42

interesting to me that no matter

28:44

what I was a self check

28:46

out this is work this is

28:48

where I thought Do you know

28:50

what? Maybe America doesn't need to

28:52

exist. This is when I was

28:54

like, you know what, they've taken

28:57

it too far. I've come here

28:59

for a good time. I mean,

29:01

the food is soft, laboursome, everywhere

29:03

I go, the drinks, everything tastes

29:05

better, everything looks better. All of

29:07

the people are so friendly. And

29:09

then I got to a self-checkout

29:11

that asked me if I wanted

29:13

to tip. I said, the blood

29:15

yell am I tipping for? I

29:18

could not believe it. No, it's

29:20

getting so it's getting worse. Can

29:22

I let me just tell you

29:24

I went into I was out

29:26

of town just like at a

29:28

staycation hotel for Thanksgiving. That's a

29:30

holiday we have here because we're

29:32

not a part of your country

29:34

anymore, you know that one, right?

29:37

Great times, yeah, great times. And

29:39

so I was at a hotel

29:41

and I was in the gift

29:43

shop and I was buying my

29:45

kids like toys or whatever, they

29:47

picked some things out and I

29:49

went to pay and on the

29:51

screen it said, do you want

29:53

a tip? And I, this person

29:55

also knew who I was, like

29:58

this, this, like check out. So

30:00

I'm like, I pride myself

30:02

on always tipping well. I

30:04

was a server. Like I

30:06

understand I've been in the

30:09

service industry, I fully get it.

30:11

Lady, I just spent $250

30:13

on toys. Like what am I?

30:15

Why would I be tipping 20% on

30:18

this $250? Because you just, you

30:20

checked. my credit card and put it in

30:22

like I just I didn't know what to

30:24

do I was paralyzed and I didn't tip

30:26

but it now haunts me and I think

30:28

about it almost every day that like does

30:31

that lady go around talking about the

30:33

fact that I didn't tip her for just

30:35

checking out the toy I don't know but it's

30:37

too far too far too far. That's the

30:39

difficult thing it's like exactly what you

30:41

just said servers of course you're doing

30:43

more for me than the bloody owner

30:45

of this restaurant is are you joking

30:47

of course I will give you a

30:49

tip like why wouldn't I and then

30:51

when when we discovered that it is

30:53

the norm to tip in America we

30:55

were like oh my god like you

30:58

know we need to tip like a

31:00

minimum of 20% everywhere that we go

31:02

otherwise everyone's gonna hate us like it

31:04

could have been sneezing on our card

31:06

before they gave it back to us

31:08

we have no idea but in stores

31:10

like that stores like that What is

31:13

going on? And I love America. I

31:15

adore America. Like, I think it's the

31:17

coolest place. There's so much going on

31:19

there. And then there's just these weird

31:21

norms that I built. The traffic,

31:23

the way that the way that

31:26

your registration plates on the back

31:28

of cars are so tiny, like

31:30

over here, they're big. So that,

31:32

let's say, somebody runs you over.

31:34

You can glance and be like

31:36

YP 73. Over there, it's like,

31:38

why is it so small? Who

31:40

am I? Like, I don't know if

31:42

it was just in New York

31:44

that they were really small. I

31:46

don't know. The driver, the direct,

31:49

the plates, the license plates,

31:51

are they bigger in the UK?

31:53

So much bigger. So much bigger.

31:55

Yeah, that would be helpful.

31:57

That would be helpful. need

32:00

to get our countries together. We

32:02

really do. I feel like they'd

32:04

be responsive if we said, like,

32:06

look, we've got no government experience,

32:08

but we did this podcast one

32:11

time. Max accidentally didn't tape and

32:13

Stassie purposefully didn't tape one time.

32:15

So, arguably, Max is a nicer

32:17

person, but whatever. And, you know,

32:19

maybe we can work something out

32:21

here and, you know, bring our

32:24

countries together. The way I would

32:26

just love that so much, you

32:28

know, I hate that we're separated,

32:30

not just, you know, physically by

32:32

the ocean, but just, you know,

32:34

it's like emotionally, mentally, mentally, like,

32:36

the energies, it's been severed. Like,

32:39

why did the Americans, why did

32:41

we have to come and be

32:43

America? Why do we have to

32:45

do that? We could have all

32:47

just done this done this together.

32:49

You could have had a royal

32:52

family, however, they don't have the

32:54

nicest history, so I wouldn't really

32:56

want to claim that. Good point,

32:58

but like no royal family does.

33:00

Name a royal family that has

33:02

nice history. Yeah, even your royal

33:04

family, the Kardashians, I was watching

33:07

that the other day, and you

33:09

forget, because like you, if you

33:11

watch the Kardashians now, they're obviously

33:13

all multi million, some billion dollar

33:15

like business models that have several

33:17

brands to upkeep. Back in the

33:20

day, they were off the rails.

33:22

I watched this one episode of

33:24

like, do you know when they

33:26

would do the like Chloe and

33:28

Courtney go like taking on Miami

33:30

and yes. And I watched one

33:32

of those and Chloe had a

33:35

job at a radio station and

33:37

in their store, they found a

33:39

vial like a little vial of

33:41

cocaine. Chloe brings it from a

33:43

store, takes it to the radio

33:45

station, and brings it up live

33:48

on air. And he's like, look

33:50

what I found in my store

33:52

today. And then she gets sacked

33:54

from a job. And it's like,

33:56

good times. Chloe, Godashion! Like, today,

33:58

I go, good times. So, like,

34:00

what a time to be alive.

34:03

You were, what, like, 11? Oh,

34:05

I don't even know if I

34:07

was born, no, yeah. How old

34:09

would I have been? No, I

34:11

was, like, 15. Yeah, maybe,

34:13

yeah. Times were simpler then.

34:15

You know, as much as,

34:18

like, I'm going through, like,

34:20

a personal depression

34:22

thing right now because

34:24

of TikTok. Oh, yeah. It's

34:27

really hard. By the time this

34:29

episode comes out, I don't even

34:31

know if TikTok will still be

34:33

here. Like that's really, it's, I

34:35

am spiraling all the

34:38

time because TikTok is just such

34:40

a light in my life. It brought

34:42

me to you. It brought me to

34:44

you. You know, like, and it's about

34:46

to go away. It honestly, it

34:48

feels like the Americans

34:50

leaving Great Britain again,

34:52

you know, leaving England. It just,

34:54

it feels like, it feels

34:57

like. It's dark. It

34:59

feels like you have to take a

35:01

ship without, you know, with only

35:03

like a raven and some paper

35:05

and a quill and to

35:07

get to communicate. That's all,

35:09

that's what we're gonna, it's

35:12

either a ship or a raven with

35:14

a letter. And so like I just

35:16

want to just say like I'm that's

35:18

how I am with that that's where

35:20

I'm at mentally in emotion with tick-talk

35:23

right now but times were simpler before

35:25

tick-talk and before Instagram and before all

35:27

the things you could Chloe Kardashian could

35:29

find some cocaine and bring it to

35:32

her radio station and put that on

35:34

TV and it didn't matter and I

35:36

think times have changed because of social

35:38

media however I'm glad that I'm here

35:41

because Do we talk

35:43

about Tiktak? Like, like, like, here

35:45

she dies. Honestly, Stasi, Stasi,

35:47

this is a tragedy or

35:49

a society. What's happening? Like,

35:51

I don't, this feels illegal. Like,

35:54

this feels like illegal. Do you

35:56

know the internet? Do you know the

35:58

internet? Yeah. Do know the ins

36:00

and outs of it? Do you need me to?

36:03

You can, you can inform me a little more. You

36:06

can inform me a little more.

36:08

I remember in this, I am somebody

36:10

that dropped out of university that

36:12

didn't do well in exams and has

36:14

very limited knowledge of anything to

36:16

do with the government, TikTok as a

36:18

business, or most relevant things. But

36:20

I'm going to absolutely tell you the

36:22

factual truth of everything that's happening

36:24

with TikTok. Okay. Okay. But how do

36:26

you know the truth? Because everything

36:28

I read, I feel like, how do

36:30

you know what's true and what's

36:32

not when you read something? Well, that's

36:34

the thing I don't. So I'm

36:36

just going to kind of tell you

36:38

what I've gathered, if that makes

36:40

sense. Okay. Basically, TikTok as a social

36:42

media platform, the algorithm is completely

36:44

different to any before. For example, with

36:46

Instagram, if you got followers because

36:48

you like really put effort into your

36:50

page over years or something, or

36:52

you were on a show, or you're

36:54

just a well -known person, you will

36:56

get a lot of followers. And

36:58

then off the back of that, the

37:00

majority, every time you post, the

37:02

majority of the people that will see

37:04

it are just your followers. Or

37:06

unless somebody's like, search you or something

37:08

like that. However, with TikTok, you

37:10

could have zero followers and have a

37:12

post that goes completely viral. And

37:14

this was the first time that that

37:17

had really happened. Do you remember

37:19

back in the day when a YouTube

37:21

video would go viral and your

37:23

friends would be like, oh my God,

37:25

you need to watch this video

37:27

of this girl falling off a chair

37:29

or something like that. So it's

37:31

that kind of same energy of this

37:33

girl is a nobody, she fell

37:35

off a chair and now the whole

37:37

world knows who she is. But

37:39

TikTok actively took that mentality and pushed

37:41

it out. So me, for example,

37:43

I had little to no social following

37:45

before I started to do this.

37:47

Literally, I had a Facebook account and

37:49

an Instagram account that I used

37:51

to update my grandma with what I

37:53

was doing at university. That's about

37:55

it. And then decided to post a

37:57

video during lockdown with zero followers.

37:59

It instantly got like 5000 likes. And

38:01

then I was like, oh my

38:03

God. I can't go to the shops anymore. I'm going to have to

38:05

get an assistant. Like what's happening. But like from there, it

38:07

kept going and then TikTok was

38:10

the first of its kind that

38:12

it didn't prioritize people with no

38:14

followings because equally someone could have

38:16

10 million followers and get a

38:19

lot of views. It prioritized the

38:21

actual content that was going out.

38:23

So and that was the first

38:25

time that that had really been

38:28

done. And this technology. is so

38:30

advanced and so difficult. Like, do

38:32

you not find it crazy that

38:34

on TikTok you can watch, say

38:36

you're renovating your house, and you're

38:38

like, okay, I really want this,

38:40

like a nice dark oak wood

38:42

circular table, and then you're scrolling

38:44

and you're like, oh, I like

38:46

the look at that girl's table.

38:48

That's cool. Zoom in, cool, whatever,

38:50

scrolling down. Oh, why is there

38:52

a video of an oak, like,

38:54

table? Like, and then you're

38:57

suddenly, there's like, order up,

38:59

we've got 10 left on TikTok

39:01

show. Like, and you're like, what

39:04

is going on? This thing just

39:06

read my mind. And it's because

39:09

the algorithm is so intelligent

39:11

and adapts directly to

39:13

what that person wants and

39:15

what the content is.

39:17

And that technology. is

39:20

so difficult to understand

39:22

that America, after a

39:24

while, were like, we want that

39:26

actually. And China, who made

39:29

the company, TikTok, and

39:31

the algorithm, they were

39:33

like, well,

39:35

you can't,

39:39

so, so's.

39:42

And basically,

39:45

do you

39:48

know how

39:52

like so

39:55

many things?

39:58

made in China

40:00

because it's cheaper to manufacture things

40:03

in China. The China made a

40:05

law like 20 or 30 years

40:07

ago that, yeah, that's cool. Like

40:09

you guys can come in, make

40:11

your products here in China, but

40:13

any data. that we make any

40:15

like microchips or like intellectual like

40:17

internet data that we make we

40:19

legally on and it's against our

40:21

law now to sell this to

40:23

another company because that's the only

40:25

thing that like we can keep

40:27

hold of because it's so cheap

40:29

to manufacture products over here so

40:31

basically now the argument is America

40:33

saying we are going to ban

40:35

tic-toc if you do not sell

40:37

it to an American company by

40:39

January 16 and China is saying

40:41

Look, maybe we can sell you

40:44

the American portion of TikTok, but

40:46

you ain't never getting that data

40:48

and you ain't never getting that

40:50

algorithm because it's literally against our

40:52

law to do so. So, whoopsie.

40:54

So now. Even if it wasn't

40:56

against the law, like why should

40:58

they have to? It's mine. Like,

41:00

if it was mine first, I'd

41:02

be like, no, it's mine. Like,

41:04

I teach my kids, like, you

41:06

don't always have to share. It's

41:08

very interesting. there ended up being

41:10

a loophole or there ended up

41:12

being something. So I'm hoping that

41:14

it will get to that point

41:16

and then either China will be

41:18

like, TikTok is so big for

41:20

us, like we'll just give it

41:22

to you and like you pay

41:24

us like a billion dollars or

41:27

something like that. Or they'll be

41:29

like, you can have the American

41:31

portion and we'll tell you a

41:33

little bit about the algorithm, but

41:35

like, where else are we going

41:37

to learn like? life-changing facts about

41:39

dogs. Where else are we going

41:41

to learn five-minute crafts? Like... Where

41:43

else am I going to learn

41:45

that 2025 is the year that

41:47

cancer signs will experience the most

41:49

success? You know? It's like... There

41:51

are so many things. Where am

41:53

I going to learn how people

41:55

during the Victorian era in England

41:57

made candlesticks back in the day?

41:59

Oh, where am I going to

42:01

go? It truly is. It's going

42:04

to go down in the

42:06

history books of maybe one

42:08

of the biggest disasters of

42:10

all time. It's wild. And I'm

42:13

just so thankful that I

42:15

get this time with you before

42:17

we're just... Before, I mean, you

42:19

don't, you know what happens to

42:22

people who, people who... got a

42:24

rise on TikTok when the band

42:26

comes. I'm, I have to go

42:28

into hiding. I'm not legally allowed

42:30

to speak anymore. I signed a

42:32

contract that was like, you became

42:34

a thing on TikTok, either moved

42:36

to China or you're not allowed

42:38

to speak anymore. So, I mean,

42:40

this could be the last time that not

42:43

only I speak to you, that I speak

42:45

to anyone. My mom's not gonna have

42:47

a clue what's going on. She's got

42:49

to have a clue what's going

42:51

on. Why can't I do an English

42:54

accent? I just can't do it.

42:56

That was okay. It wasn't. Don't

42:58

fucking lie to me. It wasn't.

43:00

Okay. I think I think you

43:02

you you are going down

43:04

that Lisa Vanderpump. Yeah. She

43:06

kind of sounds like a

43:08

stereotypical British cartoon character. Like if

43:11

I was if she was to

43:13

ever going to voice acting, I

43:15

think that she should like. be

43:17

a character that like owns a T-sharp

43:19

and is like oh dear like or

43:22

even the narrator of the cartoon that

43:24

would be the narrator the narrator yes

43:26

yeah no I feel you I

43:28

see I'm trying that's why I'm

43:30

fucking up the accent so much

43:33

you're right because I'm trying to

43:35

do Lisa Vanderpump while I'm listening

43:37

to you so it's two

43:39

things normally normally two things can

43:41

exist at the same time these two

43:43

can't like not in my brain okay

43:45

you know enough of I won't be

43:48

depressing anymore we don't need to like

43:50

harp on about tic-toc. One thing about

43:52

you that you and I share I

43:54

think you take it I think you you take

43:57

it way farther than I do and like

43:59

I love that for you, but we're

44:01

both Disney adults. Yes, we know. Had

44:03

you heard the term Disney adult before

44:05

ever being in America? Like, do British

44:08

people call it Disney adults? Yeah, it's

44:10

definitely a more American thing, and it's

44:12

used to, I would say it's almost

44:14

a slow, to be honest with you.

44:16

like the way that I saw it

44:19

was the people that like will hyperventilate

44:21

if like in the Mickey Mouse parade

44:23

like Mickey Mouse was a green hat

44:25

instead of a red one this time

44:27

and they're like oh my god did

44:30

anyone else know it's like that's what

44:32

I envisioned a Disney adult to be.

44:34

I knew that I loved the theme

44:36

parks and like the movies and everything

44:38

to do with it and it wasn't

44:41

until I went to Disney Disneyland Paris

44:43

with my best friend from high school

44:45

who the reason that we became friends

44:47

is because we got sat next to

44:49

each other in physics in physics. and

44:52

we'd both just been to Disney World

44:54

Florida and we were just talking about

44:56

it and it was like at the

44:58

age where like it's not really that

45:00

cool to Disney World to Disney World

45:03

Florida and so we were like yeah

45:05

like what have you been up to

45:07

you this summer and I was like

45:09

oh I've just been like making out

45:11

with loads of girls and like definitely

45:14

doing football and definitely not being gay

45:16

and like going to Disneyland that's weird.

45:18

And then she was like oh my

45:20

God. far you went to Disney World

45:23

and then we became like clicked and

45:25

then years later when we became adults

45:27

we went to Disneyland did not realize

45:29

that they served alcohol there to my

45:31

defense I mean in my defense what

45:34

are they you know that's that doesn't

45:36

seem like a healthy combination yes it

45:38

does I disagree maybe it does entirely

45:40

And I watched the fireworks, solved, of

45:42

course. I was giving it, we, we,

45:45

we, in Ratatui land with the Y,

45:47

you know, was like, you know, oh

45:49

yeah, I'll try that one, I'll try

45:51

that one, why not, let's go on

45:53

a roller coaster, that sounds. great.

45:56

Sobbing at the

45:58

fireworks and then proceeded

46:00

to leave the

46:02

park. And I would

46:04

say that a

46:07

mixture of Disney love,

46:09

friendship and alcohol

46:11

kind of impaired my

46:13

judgment slightly. And I

46:15

ended up spending more money in

46:17

the gift shop than I did on

46:19

the flights and accommodation for that

46:22

trip. And that's where I fell into

46:24

the trap of becoming a Disney

46:26

adult. So yeah. So do you practice

46:28

as a Disney adult? Like are you still

46:30

an act? Are you an active member? One

46:34

thing I never thought about when I had

46:36

kids, what vitamin would I give them? Like that

46:38

was never in any parenting books that I

46:40

read. No, none of them. Like what to expect?

46:42

Nothing about vitamins. Unless I just like skipped

46:44

that chapter because like borr borr, I don't know.

46:46

Anyway, so once Hartford got to be the

46:48

age where I'm like, I should probably be giving

46:51

this girl vitamins. I didn't know what to

46:53

do because when I was growing up, I feel

46:55

like everything my parents gave me was basically

46:57

just candy in disguise, like with sugar, unhealthy chemicals,

46:59

gummy junk. Like there was no way my

47:01

parents were looking into what vitamins they were giving

47:03

me. There's no way. But we're a

47:05

different generation, okay, and we care.

47:07

And so once I started to

47:09

try and figure out what to

47:11

give Hartford, I was introduced to

47:14

Haya and it was a game

47:16

changer. Okay, so they're formulated with

47:18

the help of nutritional experts and

47:20

pressed with a blend of 12

47:22

organic fruits and veggies, then super

47:24

charged with 15 essential vitamins and

47:26

minerals, including vitamin D, B12, C,

47:28

zinc, folate, and all the others

47:30

that help support immunity, energy, brain

47:32

function, mood, concentration, teeth, bones, more and

47:34

all more, everything that you can imagine. But

47:36

what's best is that it's non GMO vegan, dairy

47:39

free, allergy free, gelatin free, nut free, and

47:41

all the things so that you know that you

47:43

are giving your kid the healthiest option and

47:45

to just like make them strong and like all

47:47

the things. And I love that when you

47:49

sign up, you get this cool bottle with your

47:51

first order and then they send you eco

47:53

friendly refills every month. So you're, if you run

47:55

out, guess what? You're not going to run

47:57

out because they make sure that you don't run

47:59

out. So you're never like, oh no, and

48:02

then all of a sudden a month's

48:04

gone by and you haven't given your

48:06

kid a vitamin. Won't happen with Hia.

49:52

ways to go in and

49:54

do this and different. You

49:56

know what food there's just

49:58

like so much It's like Swift's, you know,

50:00

it's like, yeah, they go so hard. I think I'm a Swiss,

50:02

I think I'm a Swift, I think I'm a Swift because I

50:04

know like easily 50 songs and then someone's like, but did

50:07

you know that when she wrote this lyric it was about Jake

50:09

Joe and Hall's birthday and the fact that on that birthday he

50:11

threatened to the right driver driver over her with a red scarf

50:13

and then, and it's like, what the hell? Yeah, and I'm like,

50:15

okay, fine, I'm not, I'm not as well, I'm not as what,

50:17

I'm not as what, I'm not as what, I'm not as

50:19

what, I'm not as what, I'm not as what, I'm

50:22

not as what, I'm not as what, I'm not as

50:24

what, I'm not as what, I'm not as what, I'm

50:26

not as what, I'm not as what, I'm not as

50:28

what, I'm not as what, I'm like, I'm like, I

50:30

That's how I feel about Disney adults. Disney adult Swift's

50:32

same kind of person. I feel like a Disney adult

50:34

is someone who is an adult that chooses to

50:37

go on their own. I feel like it

50:39

doesn't take much to be a Disney adult.

50:41

Like when I tell people that

50:43

I have gone to Disneyland without

50:45

my kids, they look at me like I'm

50:47

insane. By yourself. I don't know, like with

50:49

a friend or my husband or my

50:52

husband. I was going to say that's

50:54

crazy. But with friends, if people

50:56

didn't know who I was, who

50:58

did Disneyland by myself? Oh yeah,

51:00

do you know what? That's really, see my thing

51:03

is now, if I were to, if I

51:05

were to go to Disneyland, so I

51:07

went back to Disneyland. after

51:09

like posting all this content about it

51:11

and I was Mickey Mouse like every

51:14

ride people were like you're that crazy

51:16

Disney guy oh my god you're the guy

51:18

who does this this and I was like

51:20

oh my god I just can't exist here

51:22

anymore like this is this was my safe

51:24

space and now it's like it's crazy so

51:27

are you talking with me or did that

51:29

really happen one thousand million

51:31

percent I went so after so I

51:33

51:35

of me so the day after basically

51:37

that whole event of where I bought

51:39

loads in the shop I posted a video

51:41

and I was like guys do not mix

51:44

alcohol and Disney it's crazy

51:46

like I bought this much I did

51:48

this blah blah blah I then just

51:50

like go about my day at Disneyland

51:52

still posted the video then at lunch

51:54

with my friend be like in the

51:56

Mickey Mouse cafe in like a sum

51:58

of Mickey Mouse shaped as usual, and

52:01

I look at it and

52:03

it's on like 20 million

52:05

views, and I was like,

52:07

in a few, like, what is

52:09

happening? I gained off the back

52:12

of just that moment, I gained

52:14

a million followers. Oh

52:16

my gosh. Crazy. So then I

52:18

had every move that I made,

52:20

I would like, I'd be like,

52:22

it's my birthday, and they were

52:24

like, well, it's also

52:26

goofy sister's birthday today,

52:29

sir. Oh my gosh, you did

52:31

become Mickey Mouse. I became like

52:33

the Pulsa Child for Disney

52:35

Adults, unintentionally. I'm

52:38

so jealous. That's fun. It

52:40

was so cool. Keep up the good

52:42

work. Do you follow like, um, Disneyland

52:45

and like, Disney movie, like,

52:48

like, like, conspiracy theories and

52:50

things like that they're,

52:52

like, all, that they're,

52:54

like, all connected? Oh, yes.

52:56

Have you seen that there's

52:59

like the underground tunnels?

53:02

Oh, don't even... Sorry,

53:04

on underground tunnels? That's

53:06

like a theme on

53:08

my podcast, talking about

53:10

underground tunnels. Which underground

53:13

tunnels are you talking

53:15

about? The ones, so

53:18

every Disneyland park, there

53:21

are underground tunnels, like,

53:23

what would you call it? Like,

53:25

places we can get food like

53:27

I'll go down corridor X like like

53:30

down and then there's all these underground

53:32

tunnels so that like if somebody's being

53:34

Mickey at like the photo op this

53:36

side of the park and then they've

53:38

got to go over there and like

53:41

man the roller coasters in an hour

53:43

they don't have to go through all

53:45

of the crowds of people they can

53:47

just go under through like I'll go

53:49

down corridor X like like down and

53:51

then they get there in like five

53:54

minutes About that before like how do

53:56

these characters get around where they all

53:58

hanging out where they like? like putting

54:00

their lunch box further. are they

54:02

putting their hand back? Do you know

54:04

what I mean? That's the only

54:06

thing that actually would make sense is

54:08

that they're underground tunnels. Like,

54:11

where else? You know, it's not like

54:13

there's like lockers outside of like

54:15

the haunted mansion ride where like -

54:17

Exactly, exactly. Also, have you ever got

54:19

into the pins? The

54:21

Disney pins? I haven't

54:23

gotten into them, but I see

54:25

people wearing them. Right, so

54:27

there's also another thing that like,

54:29

have you heard that like the

54:32

Disney employees, like they have to

54:34

follow certain guidelines? Like, if you

54:36

came up to them and complained

54:38

about something, they have to like

54:40

make sure that you feel satisfied as the

54:42

customer, even to the point where like, if

54:44

you're like, I've eaten all of this

54:46

food and I did not like it, they

54:48

will be like, well, let us get you

54:50

another one. Like, it's to that level of like,

54:52

we will give you something free to make you

54:54

be quiet now, please. So

54:56

like with the Disney pins, you

54:58

can go to any of the cast

55:00

members and trade them so that

55:02

you could have the worst cheapest pin

55:05

ever and see this

55:07

girl who has like her

55:09

lifelong luxury collection of pins

55:11

and be like, I want that one.

55:13

And then they have to swap with you.

55:15

These are rumors, but

55:17

that's, I tried it and it worked. Okay,

55:20

first of all, not again, does it remind me of

55:22

Swifties and their friendship bracelets and then having a

55:24

trade because like when I went to the Taylor Swift

55:26

concert and they wanted to trade, I'm like, wait,

55:28

but I don't, I liked that one, I like this

55:30

one, I like this one. I guess you don't

55:32

have to trade, but like, you kind of feel like

55:34

you should, you know? Like And it's a bit

55:36

rude to go to a 12 year old, like

55:38

yours is shit, I'm not swapping with you. Yeah,

55:42

honestly, the Disney thing, so

55:45

you tried it, you swapped pins. Oh, I

55:47

tried it and it worked. I swapped the

55:49

pins and it worked. Like the staff

55:51

at Disney are so like, they'll

55:53

go over and above for you. They

55:55

will literally like do anything, they're amazing.

55:57

And when I found out about - I

56:00

was like, I have a really janky

56:02

little pin right here that I

56:04

don't want. Like in my rock

56:06

soccer, I'm going to swap it

56:09

for this incredible one. And she

56:11

did it straight away. It's crazy.

56:13

Like the thought that they need

56:15

to serve the customers. I don't

56:17

feel bad for her because that's

56:19

on her for wearing her nice

56:21

pin. Like if she knew the

56:24

rules, she knows that someone's going

56:26

to come up and see that pin

56:28

and be like that pin. real-time.

56:30

Exactly. Are your kids into

56:32

Disney? My daughter is about to be

56:34

four, yes. Like Disneyland is, it's how

56:37

I bribe her with everything. It's literally

56:39

how I get her to do things. I

56:41

say, we're not going to go to Disneyland

56:43

in a, literally I'll say like three months.

56:46

It's not like we go all the time.

56:48

This is a, she's only been three times,

56:50

I guess like once a year kind of

56:53

thing, but she is obsessed. It's how we

56:55

get her to do anything to do

56:57

anything at anything at all. But like

56:59

I don't like, I don't like

57:02

waiting in lines. So, oh hell.

57:04

So when we go to Disneyland,

57:06

it's really expensive

57:08

because. Oh, do you do the

57:10

whole like VIP package situation?

57:13

Most of the time.

57:15

Sometimes the times that I

57:17

haven't, the times that I

57:19

haven't have been miserable.

57:21

Like, yes. I can't take

57:24

my screaming kids in a

57:26

line while I'm sweating my ass

57:28

off. like just dripping sweat like

57:30

for an hour and a half.

57:32

It's just no like I vote

57:34

for like my happiness and that's

57:36

why I need to do the

57:39

tours so that I can see.

57:41

That is so valid. That is

57:43

so valid and I stand by

57:45

you 100% honestly. No amount of

57:47

child's happiness even would make me

57:49

stand in a line in the blister

57:52

and hate. That's not happening

57:54

any time soon. I'm sorry. For

57:56

real, like I'm not joking, like

57:58

it's miserable. Like I... I don't understand

58:00

like how people do it and I've done it before

58:02

so I feel like I'm allowed to say it like It's

58:06

waiting in line is the absolute

58:08

fucking worst But

58:13

yeah, thanks there

58:15

are like there are conspiracy theories that

58:18

like all the movies are connected that

58:20

like Elsa and Anna's like Parents

58:22

like got shipwreck when they got

58:24

shipwrecked like that's the one Ariel

58:26

found and Ariel's mom was actually

58:29

like a mermaid in Peter Pan,

58:31

and just like Rapunzel Rapunzel is

58:33

in Rapunzel is

58:35

in frozen. I've you seen that

58:37

clip. She's physically in it Rapunzel

58:41

is in frozen Wendy,

58:44

do you know how have you watched frozen

58:46

like a few times your kids into that?

58:48

Are you fucking kidding me? Sorry,

58:51

I didn't mean to trigger you like that But

58:53

do you know how they're like doing the royal

58:55

wedding and it's like we get to open up

58:57

the gates all of that And gonna invite all

59:00

these people. Yeah, there is the shot of Rapunzel

59:02

where newly do you know how at the end

59:04

of it? She cuts it and she's got like

59:06

that It's my favorite part with

59:08

that hair in it like she

59:10

had such nice hair like know also

59:12

so unnecessary like Life

59:15

with like this super power you

59:17

actually swing from your hair Like

59:21

it just and why also cut it off so

59:23

short like why couldn't you just cut off like a

59:25

little? You know

59:27

whatever and why did it

59:29

have to go to brown shade of

59:32

brown like what's that all about Like

59:34

the mouse you ever cut your hair

59:36

and it completely changes color I don't

59:38

think so and now we're looking for

59:40

realism in a movie about a woman

59:42

that hair is so long that she

59:45

lives in a tower Right, okay So

59:47

she is in frozen she she's in

59:49

attendance if you YouTube it after this

59:51

and there are clips of like different

59:53

characters featuring in the different

59:55

movies Okay, I was just about to say I don't have

59:57

to YouTube it. I could go upstairs. I'm sure it's on I'm

1:00:00

sure someone's watching Frozen right now. Yeah.

1:00:02

Okay, I didn't know that. I'm gonna

1:00:04

look for that. Yeah, so do you

1:00:06

believe in this in the like interconnection

1:00:10

of all of the movies? Oh, yeah.

1:00:12

Oh, absolutely. Sometimes I just

1:00:14

think people are bored. Oh, 100% sometimes

1:00:16

when they're like that fork was

1:00:18

in Ariel, which means that that

1:00:20

that like Elsa's mom must have

1:00:23

used that to eat at the

1:00:25

royal wedding when Rapunzel cut off

1:00:27

her hair. And it's like, like, come

1:00:29

on. Yeah, yeah, that's what I

1:00:31

mean. Thank you guys. Yeah, it's

1:00:33

too much. It's too much. Some

1:00:35

of these people, they go too

1:00:38

far. I mean, this is life, such

1:00:40

as life. Sometimes in

1:00:42

every category, there are people,

1:00:45

we go too far. Oh my gosh,

1:00:47

I love to, obviously, as you know,

1:00:49

the Disney adults, they go feral for

1:00:51

it. two years ago, just after the

1:00:54

whole Disney thing had happened, I bought

1:00:56

a Disney advent calendar that had the

1:00:58

Disney pins in it, and it was

1:01:00

just a different character on a part

1:01:02

of a wreath. So then by the

1:01:05

end, you could like piece them all

1:01:07

together and it would be this wreath,

1:01:09

and I purposefully, so I opened it

1:01:11

every single day on my Tik. I

1:01:14

was like, day three, let's see where

1:01:16

we've got in the little drawer. And

1:01:18

I pretended I was like, why do

1:01:20

they have leaves behind them? That's so

1:01:23

weird. All of the comments, it forms

1:01:25

a wreath. It forms a Christmas wreath.

1:01:27

And I purposely just to irritate like

1:01:30

millions of people every day. I'd go

1:01:32

to it and I'd be like, guys,

1:01:34

it's so, is anybody else seeing these

1:01:36

leaves? Like that's so strange. And then

1:01:39

like on day 25, I was like, I've been

1:01:41

lying to you all this time. I was

1:01:43

getting people email my family like. Please

1:01:45

tell Max, it is a Christmas wreath.

1:01:47

And I was like, this is too

1:01:50

much fun. Like, it was so great.

1:01:52

No, it's like people, it's like

1:01:54

when people spell things wrong

1:01:56

in their captions so that they get

1:01:58

more engagement. because people

1:02:00

will go and start correcting them.

1:02:03

You know, just like little, little

1:02:05

hacks. Yeah, those, but I like

1:02:07

that trick. Before I let you

1:02:09

go, I did want to ask

1:02:11

you a little bit about something

1:02:13

because you're an interviewer. Like you

1:02:16

interview hardcore people. Famous, the

1:02:18

lips. I don't know who the hell decided

1:02:20

one day that I should be allowed

1:02:23

a microphone on a spot on a

1:02:25

red car. But it's happened and I

1:02:27

am not and the only reason that

1:02:29

it even came about so when Tiktop

1:02:31

became a thing obviously it was a

1:02:33

very new platform and I randomly like

1:02:35

shot up on it like especially in

1:02:37

the UK there's not really that much

1:02:39

of like an influencer seen as what

1:02:41

there is in America so companies didn't

1:02:43

really know what to do with it

1:02:45

they were like do we pay this

1:02:47

guy to like promote something like what

1:02:49

do we do and then I got

1:02:51

the perfect brand deal for me

1:02:53

which was I was at university

1:02:55

in a place called Newcastle which

1:02:57

is at the top of the

1:02:59

UK And I got asked to

1:03:01

promote a student accommodation for university

1:03:03

students by interviewing drunk students in

1:03:05

the street and being like, how

1:03:07

many guys have you kissed tonight?

1:03:09

And then these girls will be like 17.

1:03:11

And I was like, whoo. So I just

1:03:13

posted that as a partnership with this thing.

1:03:16

And then the biggest radio station of we

1:03:18

here is called Radio One. A week later

1:03:20

they reached out and they were like, we

1:03:22

loved your interviewing. Do you want to come

1:03:25

on a red carpet? And I was like,

1:03:27

I'm not qualified. Like what? I've,

1:03:29

what? And then now like

1:03:32

four years later, I've got

1:03:34

to interview people like, I've

1:03:36

interviewed Zendaya like three times.

1:03:38

That's insane. That's insane. That's

1:03:41

insane. Okay, then two questions. Okay, I

1:03:43

swear and then I will let you

1:03:45

leave. Okay. One is what is your,

1:03:48

who's your favorite person that

1:03:50

you interviewed? Like what is

1:03:52

like? That you're like, holy shit. I mean,

1:03:54

you can't say Zandeya because it's like you already

1:03:56

said it and duh, that would actually probably be

1:03:59

it. Like, but. Who's your

1:04:01

favorite? That you've

1:04:03

interviewed? Favorite,

1:04:05

like, I mean, one

1:04:07

of my favorite experiences

1:04:10

was when I got to,

1:04:12

yeah, like, the person,

1:04:14

not how famous they

1:04:16

are, but like, the

1:04:18

experience. Yeah. I got to

1:04:21

interview Samuel L. Jackson, and

1:04:23

it was on the carpet of this movie

1:04:25

that. I remember what it was called, but

1:04:27

it was really good. I can't remember it.

1:04:30

It was great. And the person filming me,

1:04:32

so usually at this time, I'll be like

1:04:34

with a media outlet or something, and it'll

1:04:37

be a girl like with a phone and

1:04:39

like a light, and like she'll handle the

1:04:41

microphones and everything, then I just show up

1:04:43

with the questions and ask them. And this

1:04:46

girl was filming. And Samuel L. Jackson for

1:04:48

whatever reason got like stock worky with me

1:04:50

and was like, acting out different things with

1:04:53

me was there for like 10 minutes like

1:04:55

having the best time he's he's rep literally

1:04:57

came over and was like like we need

1:04:59

to move on now and he was like

1:05:01

I'm having a good time like we're enjoying

1:05:04

this and I was like I remember turning

1:05:06

around I was like that was one of

1:05:08

the most exciting interviews of my career and

1:05:10

then the girl was like brilliant just let

1:05:12

me check the mic feed and the microphone

1:05:15

had died and I think that girl got

1:05:17

fired got fired like she definitely got

1:05:19

fired yeah and all life and then I

1:05:21

watched this poor girl like she turned blue

1:05:24

and she was like I'll see I

1:05:26

see this somewhere someone else's microphone might

1:05:28

have picked it up I was

1:05:30

like microphones don't work like that oh

1:05:32

my gosh and then for the rest of

1:05:35

the day like I remember it was like

1:05:37

Julie was in that film Henry Cavill

1:05:39

was in that film and then like

1:05:41

they were all coming down the carpet

1:05:43

and I had to like make myself

1:05:46

happy because all I kept thinking was

1:05:48

like I can't believe that this is

1:05:50

happening right now but yeah that was

1:05:52

that was make a call well it's

1:05:54

like the moment didn't exist there's

1:05:56

no proof exactly yeah I could

1:05:58

just be lying love Jackson could have

1:06:01

just walked past me on the carpet

1:06:03

and I could be a compulsive liar

1:06:05

like oh my gosh that is really wild that

1:06:07

kind of I feel like that answers

1:06:09

my next question so it's like as

1:06:12

an interviewer when you're interviewing these just

1:06:14

like super famous people was there one

1:06:16

time that you were like well that you

1:06:18

like think back on now like every day and

1:06:20

you just cringe and you're like what the fuck

1:06:23

did I say that why did I sure that

1:06:25

like is there a moment like is a

1:06:27

moment like that one That was a million

1:06:29

trillion percent. There are so many more.

1:06:31

I mean, nowadays, what I've learned is

1:06:33

when I started to do this, I

1:06:36

was very nervous at the start obviously

1:06:38

because I was a university student

1:06:40

with no experience and I was

1:06:42

like, oh my God. And then

1:06:44

I got to these big events

1:06:46

and I realized nobody feels comfortable.

1:06:48

Yeah, I've never been to a

1:06:51

movie premiere and felt like. Oh, this

1:06:53

is so cool. This is so chill.

1:06:55

Like, the most experienced people, everyone who

1:06:57

works there behind the scenes, is the

1:07:00

most frantic person in the entire world,

1:07:02

like, hoping that nothing goes wrong. All

1:07:04

of the artists, even the people, even

1:07:06

if it was your movie, you would

1:07:08

expect that, like, they would be the

1:07:11

most comfortable, but no, they're probably

1:07:13

the most anxious. Like, so I've definitely,

1:07:15

early on, I had, I interviewed a

1:07:17

big singer who's very famous in the

1:07:19

UK, like, like, outside of that. and

1:07:21

she was just mean to me, like

1:07:23

just mean as hell, like really rude,

1:07:25

every question that I gave, very man,

1:07:27

I was so young at this point,

1:07:29

so eager and like tried so hard,

1:07:31

and she was just not in a

1:07:33

good mood, like at all, like to

1:07:36

the point where her publicist came over

1:07:38

afterwards and was like, delete the footage,

1:07:40

and then like the people from the

1:07:42

company were like, we're so sorry that

1:07:44

you had to go through that, like

1:07:46

she's usually quite nice. So it's like,

1:07:48

you know, there are times where people

1:07:50

might just have a bad day. But

1:07:52

like, I can't imagine having a bad

1:07:54

day and then like seeing a 20

1:07:56

year old boy, excited to interview me

1:07:59

and be like. Um, next question, like

1:08:01

what are you doing? Like, so yeah,

1:08:03

I've definitely had moments like that

1:08:05

where I've feared for my life. Um,

1:08:07

I'm trying to think of something

1:08:09

where I've said something weird.

1:08:11

It is so true though. Like when,

1:08:14

because I think that it's actually kind

1:08:16

of important when people like look on

1:08:18

Instagram or see photos in like the

1:08:20

Daily Mail or TMZ or page six

1:08:22

or whatever it is of like all

1:08:24

of these parties or red carpets or

1:08:27

premieres or fashion shows or just events, they

1:08:30

are all boring

1:08:32

and they suck. And you're anxious and

1:08:34

every single person there is having social

1:08:36

anxiety or worried about what they look

1:08:38

like or they're going to say the

1:08:40

wrong thing or like things aren't going

1:08:42

right. Like it's never actually just like

1:08:44

a great time. Never. No,

1:08:47

never. Sometimes now I

1:08:49

actually enjoy being on the work side

1:08:51

of it. So like I

1:08:53

will often go to do the interviews

1:08:55

at the premier, but I'll also be

1:08:57

invited to the premier. So I'm like

1:08:59

seeing like my boyfriend as my plus

1:09:01

one is like walking down the carpet

1:09:03

whilst I'm in the press pin, like

1:09:05

getting ready to interview people. And like,

1:09:07

sometimes I'm like, I actually prefer being

1:09:09

on this side of it where like

1:09:11

I have the preparedness and like, you

1:09:14

know, everyone's not looking at me on

1:09:16

the carpet and I get to like

1:09:18

have these amazing experiences with these like

1:09:20

A -list celebrities, but like it's in my

1:09:22

control as opposed to like the anxiety

1:09:24

of walking on the carpet. And like

1:09:26

sometimes you go to do like the media line and

1:09:28

some of the media like, I don't want to talk

1:09:30

to you. Like, why would I care about you? And then

1:09:32

sometimes they're there and they're like, why did

1:09:34

you walk past us? Like that was so

1:09:36

rude. No, see, that's my problem. I always

1:09:38

say I am insecure about this because I

1:09:40

will go and take photos, but I won't

1:09:43

do press, like I won't do presser interviews.

1:09:45

And I feel like I'm just racking up

1:09:47

the number of people who think I'm a

1:09:49

fucking asshole because I'm like, I'm sorry. No,

1:09:51

I'm not doing, no, I'm not doing, no,

1:09:53

I'm sorry. And I literally will say the

1:09:55

weirdest shit like, no, thank you. Thank you.

1:09:58

No, I'm like, why am I thanking her?

1:10:00

like what am I like I just word

1:10:02

vomit weird shit you go you go and

1:10:04

tip her you like yeah but like but

1:10:06

no no I won't do it because I

1:10:08

I just I get so anxious that I'm

1:10:11

like I don't know what this person

1:10:13

wants to talk about and I

1:10:15

need to protect my fucking piece

1:10:17

right now but like you don't

1:10:19

think I'm an asshole just here

1:10:21

for the photo and a good time

1:10:23

yeah oh it's a really Oh, I just

1:10:25

thought of a time where I definitely said

1:10:27

weird stupid things and wish that I could

1:10:29

just be swallowed up into the ground. Tell

1:10:31

me. Oh my gosh, so I've started working with

1:10:34

Netflix quite a bit, which is

1:10:36

so exciting because obviously they have

1:10:38

the coolest movies that come out

1:10:40

without access to the biggest stars

1:10:42

and... Henry Cavill was the face

1:10:44

of the show called the Witcher for

1:10:46

years and it was like this huge

1:10:48

show and he was the lead and

1:10:50

then the show is carrying on but

1:10:53

without him so he's basically I don't

1:10:55

I don't know what the deal was

1:10:57

but he is no longer playing that

1:10:59

part but the show is going to

1:11:01

go on so for the final season

1:11:03

that he is in I got to

1:11:05

like host the carpet and interview him,

1:11:07

but the issue was that they were

1:11:09

only allowing me as like the face

1:11:11

of Netflix for the day and this

1:11:14

one other person do content with

1:11:16

him or interviewing and it wasn't

1:11:18

on the carpet. We had to

1:11:20

go into the back room of

1:11:22

this like hotel that was nearby

1:11:25

and we're waiting there and waiting

1:11:27

there. And then the other person

1:11:29

who's coming to do content with

1:11:31

them shows up and it's a pug.

1:11:34

And it's a pug that dresses

1:11:36

up as Henry Cabell. Like this

1:11:38

is this pug's whole thing. It's

1:11:40

the pug stick. Okay. And I'm

1:11:42

sat there in a room with me and

1:11:44

a pug and the pug's lovely

1:11:46

owner. She was very kind. Whilst

1:11:49

the pug has a wig on,

1:11:51

a battle outfit. And I'm just

1:11:53

sat there thinking, what the fuck

1:11:55

is my life in this moment?

1:11:58

Like, what's about to happen? And

1:12:00

then Henry Cabell comes in with

1:12:02

like five people and they're like,

1:12:04

we're going to be doing the

1:12:06

pug first and then Max sounds

1:12:08

like great. So I'm second to

1:12:10

a pug, that's great. Why not? Yeah.

1:12:12

So I'm like, watch it and the

1:12:15

whole idea was that this pug was

1:12:17

from Wisconsin in America as well. They

1:12:19

flew it to London because this pug's

1:12:21

whole thing on Tik is that whenever.

1:12:24

Henry Cabble is on the TV. The

1:12:26

poke like goes crazy and like loves

1:12:28

him so much. So they wanted to

1:12:30

fly him over to see if it

1:12:33

would do that in real life. Henry

1:12:35

Cabell is like, hey pug, hey. The

1:12:37

pug literally could not give less

1:12:39

of a shit. Like Netflix upon

1:12:42

this pug across waters to experience

1:12:44

nothing. The pug doesn't give one.

1:12:46

So I'm just sat there and

1:12:49

then Henry Cab's team are like,

1:12:51

like, like getting mad or mad. Not even mad, but

1:12:53

just like what the fuck is going on probably. Henry Campbell's

1:12:55

there like, what is my job? I'm a serious act like

1:12:58

what is happening. And then I start like sweating and I'm

1:13:00

just like, oh my God, like now all of the content

1:13:02

is riding on me. I'm the only interview for this entire

1:13:04

press tour of the UK. Like the poke didn't work out.

1:13:06

Am I gonna work out? And then I'm like, oh my

1:13:08

God, I'm sweating, I'm sweating, I'm sweating. I'm sweating. I'm

1:13:11

sweating. I'm sweating. I'm sweating. I'm sweating. I'm sweating.

1:13:13

I'm sweating. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,

1:13:15

I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,

1:13:17

I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm

1:13:19

like, I'm like, I My hand

1:13:21

is so deeply thoroughly moist in

1:13:23

this moment, that I almost like

1:13:25

shook his hand and slipped right

1:13:28

up his arm, like that's how

1:13:30

bad it was. So I was

1:13:32

like, oh my God, I'm so sorry,

1:13:34

my hand is so wet right now.

1:13:36

And then I was like, oh, I

1:13:38

didn't like swear, like I've not

1:13:41

just, I've not got anything

1:13:43

on it. And then I was like,

1:13:45

stop, stop. I was like, why are you, why

1:13:47

are you, why are you explaining to him that

1:13:49

you even mean sweat? Like I'm sure he knows

1:13:51

that you meant sweat. I don't think he thought

1:13:53

that you just like fill in a puddle and

1:13:56

like the dog piss over there and like you've

1:13:58

got it on your hand. Oh my god. Oh

1:14:00

my god, that is, I'm so sorry that this

1:14:02

happened to you, but like this is

1:14:04

the best story ever. I couldn't believe

1:14:06

it. And then I did the interview, I

1:14:08

did the interview and it all went okay,

1:14:11

it was fine, all the team were happy

1:14:13

with it. And I even like, I remember

1:14:15

even like shaking his hand and being like, I

1:14:17

was like, no, it's off, it's off. And I

1:14:19

was like, why am I proving that I've, like,

1:14:21

what am I doing? And I just, I just

1:14:23

bumble the bags so hot. I saw him in

1:14:25

person. He was so good looking. And I was

1:14:28

like, this is too much. And the pugs there,

1:14:30

the pugs got a wig on. Like, what's going

1:14:32

on? I've got a sweaty hat. It was

1:14:34

just too much. And in that moment, I

1:14:36

remember feeling like, if you don't ace this

1:14:38

interview Netflix and never working with you again,

1:14:40

and luckily at all working with you again,

1:14:42

and luckily at all went fine. The best

1:14:45

story I'm no I had story

1:14:47
