A chairlift bike park in the Ozarks sounds like a wild idea until you hear how Oz Trails Bike Park was actually built: carefully, deliberately, and for everyone. We're joined by Brandon Kelly, director of Bella Vista, and Gary Vernon, who runs the bike park day to day, to share the story behind the park's long path from rumor to ribbon cutting, with the grand opening set for June 12.We get practical about what a day looks like at the park, from rolling into the base area to loading your bike on the lift, cruising to the top, and choosing trails by skill level. Gary explains how they focused on families and first-timers without watering down the experience for serious riders, including a standout beginner trail called Firestarter that's designed to build confidence fast. We also talk about what makes this a true destination beyond riding: the Oz Trails HQ building, Ozzy's Ride and Dine restaurant, and a full setup for bike rentals, retail, and bike school, so you can arrive with almost nothing and still have a great day.Not a rider? You're still invited. We dig into lift rides for sightseeing, ADA accessibility, patio views of the action, and the way the park preserves the natural beauty of Bella Vista's old-growth forest, limestone bluffs, and deep ravines. We also touch on the Whistler connection through Gravity Logic, why the trails will keep evolving, and how Bella Vista vacation rentals plus Bentonville's downtown make trip planning easy across both towns.If you're curious about Northwest Arkansas mountain biking, family-friendly bike parks, or the next big outdoor attraction in Bella Vista, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a riding buddy, and leave a review so more people can find the show! A New American Town is here to help you plan your trip to Bentonville, Arkansas.

Executive Producer: Monisha Iswaran Audio & Video Producer: Michael Kean Mamamia acknowledges the traditional owners of the land on which we have recorded this podcast. From Mom and Mia. 00:02Speaker 2 Welcome to the Spill your daily pop culture fix. 00:05Speaker 1 I'm m Vernon and. 00:06Speaker 3 I'm Brief Player, executive producer of MoMA MIA's interview podcast No Filter, and former magazine editor. 00:12Speaker 1 We had a full intro. That's that's my intro. That's what I'm told to say. I love that. Well. I know yours is just your name, but you. 00:20Speaker 2 Know what that's because I don't know what's going on for me. 00:23Speaker 3 That is, it's because you are a name. It's because your talented girl too. Oh okay, well player. 00:28Speaker 1 Does stand out. 00:29Speaker 4 Well. 00:29Speaker 2 A name that is missing is LB Laura Brodney. It is she is having some fun with her family and we are holding down the fort LB. 00:38Speaker 1 If you're listening, no you're not. It's fun. We've got this. 00:42Speaker 2 Today on the show, we are going to be talking about a very firm statement a production company has put out towards its fan base of a very cult favorite show and what this means, I guess, for the future of film sets. We're also talking about how a lot of hot men doing a bit of. 01:00Speaker 1 A career turn. We're not complaining, we are, no, we are quite the opposite. 01:06Speaker 2 Really, But first I need to talk about our friend Victoria Beckham, so friend of the show, friend of the show, show of the podcast. So she recently went on Emma Gred's podcast. It's like over an hour long interview. Emma Greed, if you don't know, has developed so many of the Kardashian brands. She's like CEO of Chloe's Jean's brand, she was co founder of Skims. She's very very well known in the girl boss industry. 01:32Speaker 3 The girl is actually such an apt description. 01:36Speaker 1 I love it. 01:37Speaker 2 So Vibi did this interview with her, and there's so many juicy things in it. If you haven't watched her documentary on Netflix, you now don't need to. You just need to listen to this interview because she pretty much covers everything she says in the documentary. 01:51Speaker 1 She talks about her kids. 01:54Speaker 2 You know, when you're watching a YouTube interview and it like has the most replay, it shows you the most replayed moments literally about her talking about her kids and the differences between parenting children versus parenting adults. We've talked about bestie Brooklyn Beckham and everything that's going on between him and his mom. Best friend of the show, best friend of the show. She also talked about the alleged affair. She talked about her company making money, losing money, making money again. 02:20Speaker 3 It's super unusual for Victoria to give a like a big deep dive interview as well, so I think. 02:26Speaker 2 Like girl Boss to girl Boss, felt like it was environment Yeah, but like to be fair, a lot of the stuff she talks about with her company and her both her fashion brand and beauty brand is like really really interesting where she talks about She covered it in the documentary as well, but I guess emm agreed asks those really like kind of personal business se questions where she mixes business questions with lifestyle questions. There is one part of the podcast so that I really want to discuss, yes, and it's the part that no one's really talking about. It's her day in the live. 03:01Speaker 1 It's the highlight of the podcast for me. I just love to know. 03:05Speaker 2 What celebrity millionaires and billionaires are doing every day so I can try to replicate it in my sad little life. 03:12Speaker 3 On weekends, because we have jobs. 03:16Speaker 1 Because we have real jobs, real jobs. Should I take you through it? Yes? Oh please please? Okay, she's almost the weekend. I need to know, we need to. 03:23Speaker 2 Know okay, So she says, we get up every morning, thank God, off to a strong style. 03:31Speaker 1 We get up every single morning. That's crazy. 03:34Speaker 2 We get up every morning and we make Harper breakfast. What I've noticed in this day in the live, she doesn't mention about her own eating habits, because we all know she eats steamed fish and veggies every single day. And I don't think she wants to keep marketing that because I don't think she really wants a fish dealer. 03:49Speaker 1 She doesn't need it, doesn't need, she doesn't need, doesn't need a fish finger. 03:53Speaker 2 So they both make Harper breakfast. She says, if he's not traveling, David does the school run, she goes down to the gym. When she says down to the gym, I'm assuming downstairs. 04:03Speaker 3 And the like, Yeah, I don't think she's like popping going down the road, you know, the local like fitness first, no, non equivalent. 04:09Speaker 2 She's going down to the gym, and she does. Wait for forty five minutes. Then David comes back home, joins her, and then they work out together for another hour. 04:21Speaker 1 Oh, I know they're that couple. 04:23Speaker 2 An hour and forty five minutes every single morning in the gym that's a lot, girl, it's a lot. But she loves doing things with him. 04:29Speaker 1 Yeah, but like there are other things to do. Okay. 04:32Speaker 2 Then she says she goes to the office, which is ten minutes away from where she lives. 04:36Speaker 1 So I'm assuming the same time stamped this, Like, do we know, like when is she rolling into the now? 04:41Speaker 3 She kind of like, so it could be midday because if she's got up, we don't know when she gets up, made Harper breakfast or you know, being present for the breakfast making. 04:51Speaker 1 I can't see. I feel like it's David hands on not. 04:53Speaker 2 I feel like she'll make Harper like a juice and David makes the breakfast. 04:57Speaker 1 We know he cooks. He loves to cook. 04:58Speaker 3 And then like she's an arrow and forty five in the gym, has to shower, get I'm sure like that, you. 05:04Speaker 1 Know, becoming becoming BB. 05:06Speaker 3 Yeah, the day is not a quick time office mid day probably yeah, probably. 05:12Speaker 2 So she says it's only ten minutes away, so I'm assuming, like the same estate. 05:17Speaker 1 I'm assuming it's. 05:18Speaker 2 Like it's just next door, next door, a second home. Yeah, she says she goes in five days a week. Oh, what do we feel about that? Well, she says, I have to be there. It's where like all the ideas get made. There's something about going in every day, and I'm like, this sounds like a CEO who had hybrid working conditions and I told everyone. 05:40Speaker 1 To come here, to come back. 05:41Speaker 3 It's like, yeah, VB at the front line of pushing people back in the office's like, I. 05:45Speaker 1 Love being here all the time. Don't shut up, Phoebe. It's because you get to roll in a mid day. 05:50Speaker 2 Yes, And she says she doesn't travel that much. She only ever goes to New York because beauty. Her beauty brands in New York and her fashion brands in between London and Paris must be nice. 06:00Speaker 3 She has a lot of social engagements too, Like, I don't what she's doing this interview. 06:06Speaker 1 Yeah, on the weekend, probably. 06:09Speaker 2 Probably she's in the office five days with family time, Okay, I guess. 06:13Speaker 1 So. 06:13Speaker 2 She also says at six pm, they are all at home and they all have dinner together, no phones, they just talk about their days. 06:22Speaker 1 I love that. 06:22Speaker 2 Yeah, And she says that we are quite a traditional family. Most people won't believe that, but they are. 06:28Speaker 1 I believe that, but I think that it's ordained, like. 06:34Speaker 3 I don't know if it's well, we actually know for a fact it's not every child's choice to be part of that environment. But I can imagine they have strict rules about dinner together and no phones and yeah, well. 06:46Speaker 2 After everything that happened with like Brooklyn Beckham, I'm sure they are like quite strict parents. She also talked about how her daughter Harper is launching a skincare brand because she says that like her daughter used all of these like different skin cares and ruined her skin, and she wanted to create a really nice collection of like clean skin care for young girls to use, like sure, And I was like sure. I mean, like I'm kids meant to get acne. 07:17Speaker 1 Yeah, it's inevitable. Yeah, but it's good for them. 07:19Speaker 2 It's good for them. But as you know, I didn't really listen to any of that stuff. I was just like, let me know the day in the life. Yea other day in the life, and now we got it. So if you want to know what to do for to be Victoria Beckham, an hour and forty five minutes in the gym every morning. 07:31Speaker 1 That is in your house. Yeah, that's in your house. You have to have the gym in your house, and if. 07:35Speaker 3 You do go to work, it's down the road ten minutes. Yeah, and you're not really doing a commute. You're certainly not on the train. 07:40Speaker 1 You're fine, you'll do it. It's probably in you. I would say it's pretty easy to be VB. 07:44Speaker 3 But I don't know about an hour and forty five minutes in the gym every morning. 07:47Speaker 1 I'll give it a go tomorrow, I'm definitely not. No, I stop at waking up every day. We've got that down. I've got it down. Only five more steps to go. 07:58Speaker 2 So the summer turned pretty You might have heard of it. Yeah, she'll have a little old show. They're currently in the production of making the movie, which is meant to act as like the actual actual series finale. 08:11Speaker 1 Yes, this is it. 08:12Speaker 2 Yes, and they're currently filming. Recently, the production company that's doing so, on my Return, Pretty Amazon. 08:19Speaker 1 Tweeted this. 08:20Speaker 2 They said, we love the excitement, but sharing locations and visiting sets disrupts filming and creates real safety concerns for our cast and crew. We're working hard to create a protective bubble to make the best movie possible. Please help us protect the magic of Cousins. That's the place where it's set, not cousins in general, until it's ready to be shared after that. Jenny Hahn, who wrote the book and is also a big writer of the movie and the show, she also posted when people come to set, film and share videos, it disrupts the work and makes it harder for actors to get into character and causes unnecessary anxiety for them. 08:57Speaker 1 We often have to stop. 08:58Speaker 2 Production to clear crowds from the show, which breaks the crew's focus. This story means a lot to me, and I know it means a lot to you too. I want to give you the best version of this movie. Please help protect our process, right. 09:11Speaker 3 Oh, Look, like fervent fandoms are a double edged sword because like they need that. That's why they have had a successful series. It's why they've got this movie coming out. They wouldn't have that without the fans. And the fans are so so so passionate, and like in my heart, I'm a fangirl, I always will be, and I have so much love for fangirls and boys. 09:32Speaker 1 Yeah, and I just think like. 09:34Speaker 3 The reason why, like they're showing up because they love it so much. They want to be part of that world. And it's like it's super endearing, but I do understand why. You know, it's not necessarily conducive to a good set. 09:47Speaker 2 I think they've also like this set and crew in particular, I've had such like bad luck when it comes to like fans being so intense about the show. Because when I first read this, I was kind of like, I was a bit like boohoo. 09:59Speaker 1 Like, yeah, everyone loves the show. Nice, just be nice. 10:03Speaker 2 But then I remembered when they were filming the series finale of the last season of the summer I turned pretty where Belly goes to Paris, and a lot of it was filmed in Paris. They had to fly Gavin over also who played Jeremiah, even though Jeremiah had no scenes in Paris, because everyone was just so intense and guessing who she would choose, Conrad or Jeremiah. And then around the same time, they were putting out Statesmen saying please stop bullying our cast. 10:29Speaker 1 They're not their characters. 10:31Speaker 2 So they've really been through a lot with their fan base. But it's the same exactly what you said. I feel like if I was like walking around the US or in Europe and I saw that they were filming close to me, I wouldn't want to go. 10:45Speaker 1 Of course, I would want to have a look see. Of course I would take a couple of picks. 10:48Speaker 3 I don't know if I would necessarily share them on social media because that's just not my bag. 10:52Speaker 1 But I would show my friends. Yeah, I'd sit here and talk about it. I would literally talk about it like. 11:00Speaker 3 Yeah, like it's it's even if it's not your absolute favorite show. Like obviously there are people that are going, oh my god, I want to see them up close. Let's plan a trip, and like, you know that is happening. I know that happened a bit on the set of people we meet on vacation. 11:14Speaker 1 Yeah, but the. 11:15Speaker 3 Interactions were actually all really lovely and all the reports were fine, and there wasn't kind of a messaging sent out that I'm aware of that was like, don't do this. 11:23Speaker 1 But you know, fandoms are why a. 11:26Speaker 3 Lot of these projects get off the ground in the first place, especially if they're you know, they're based on a book or whatever, so they come with an inbuilt fan base, and so with that comes like this experience. 11:38Speaker 2 And I do think it's changed a lot as technology has changed. Very true to it, Jenny Hahn said, in her statement that it really disrupts the cast and the crew. Like imagine thinking you're filming a show and now you have like a live studio audience who're just like reacting to everything. Plus with the fans filming stuff and posting it online, it just creates like this bigger, bigger thing where was before It used to be like, oh my god, I was in the background of parks and recreation, did you see me? 12:06Speaker 3 I think, like, I find it frustrating when there's too many clips shared on my like for you page. For you that's it where you're like, I don't want to see it, and it's like, oh, like the way I was tapping interested on stuff when The Devil Wears Prata, like stuff was all coming. 12:22Speaker 2 That literally happened to me when I watched the second movie because I watched it in cinemas after you guys went to the big premiere and I was seeing scenes that I'd already seen on my TikTok. It's annoying, right because everyone was just filming them, yeah. 12:34Speaker 1 Filming the way, walking on the streets and everything. 12:36Speaker 3 But then it's also funny as well because we saw so many stills and footage from that film of Anne Hathaway and Patrick Brammel on the Street. It was so gorgeous and so romantic, and then like that was totally missing from the film. So that's a funny experience as well, because we've all been primed and it's almost like part of the promo. And that's actually really interesting because some productions, yeah, are like if you can't beat them, join them, and they're using it as an opportunity for promo. So we've seen that a lot with like they've been filming and they've wrapped filming now on Sunrise on the Reaping, which is like the next installment of the Hunger Games franchise. It's like the cast were encouraged to show stuff on their own like social media, like let's do it first. Yeah, yeah, so they're like McKenna grace was like all over it, and you know, she's so great on social media anyway. But we got a lot of behind the scenes stuff from that production and the movie doesn't come out till November, but they like really leaned into it and like knew that they had this really really really passionate fan base and so they were like feeding people from the start. 13:41Speaker 1 That's really smart. 13:42Speaker 2 I have a feeling Marvel kind of did the same for the New Spider Man movie because Tom Holland does a lot of his own stunts where they got like fans filming him, like jumping over cars and stuff in New York, and they were sharing those own videos on their own socials. It also really interesting, like can work way that kind of helps the production company or give them ideas. Do you remember when the first stills of It Ends with Us came out? Oh, and we were seeing lively in like those costs, like the most horrendous wardrobe choices, the most mirandous wardrobe choices. 14:19Speaker 3 And then it was just like mass trolling of like this she wearing? 14:25Speaker 1 What is this? 14:25Speaker 2 And then we still saw some quiet questionable efforts in that movie, but like the ones that we saw on des Moir were like not in the movie at all, very similarly love story. What they had as like the dress for Carolyne Bassett, the first. 14:39Speaker 3 First glimpse at both of them, both of them, it was like, that's not how they looked like they were wearing like h and M pieces like it just it wasn't reflective. 14:48Speaker 1 And that's so important, particularly for that story. 14:50Speaker 3 Because they're like, firstly, yeah, he had a lot of money, he dressed really well. He was like stylish and gorgeous and you know, but she was known FIRS style. That was a trademark, so to miss that and even like it was right down to the hair, like that's not what Carolyn's hair looked like, and then they started to change. When the show dropped, it was like it had been absolutely coarse corrected and then they nailed it. 15:14Speaker 1 So it is interesting to see and it must be helpful for them. 15:17Speaker 2 They're getting that live feedback as a film versus when a trailer goes out and then they see all the. 15:22Speaker 3 Feed test audience at the end, so like you can't then go await the wardrobe sucks, Like you can't go and reshoot the entire thing. So that's really yeah, that's been really beneficial for them. I've noticed as well. The next series of AHS has been like teasing so much from behind the scenes they've been doing. So they've got the core cast of Coven back, which is really exciting because like in my be in many people's opinion, Coven was the best season three, right, it was season three, that's like the Witch season that was set in Your Orleans absolutely incredible and like the cast so so stellar. Now, if you remember Jessica Lang, who was in the first maybe I think. 16:04Speaker 1 Five seasons, yes, I think. 16:06Speaker 3 So Dan left and when I said no, I'm done, I'm never going back, right, she was like adamant, like no, no, no, no. 16:14Speaker 1 No, guess who's back? 16:15Speaker 5 Shut up? 16:16Speaker 3 Yes, And it was announced on set like they had her in costume and they were like playing into it and they've been dropping in on st same. 16:24Speaker 1 As Emma Roberts is back. And of course her famous line is, hey, bitch, I bet you thought you saw the last of me. 16:30Speaker 3 So that's how she promo that she was back, which was so cool. 16:34Speaker 1 Oh my god, I love so. 16:36Speaker 3 Fun and like, as a fan of that series, I was so excited to like, it's like playing along from home from the start. 16:42Speaker 1 It also extends their run. It gets people excited from the start. That's so true. 16:46Speaker 2 I was thinking of massive cult shows where everyone's been obsessed with and movies where they had to like go through extra lengths just to make sure nothing's link. And I found this really interesting. Fun facts, fun facts for the girls in Sex and the City. The last episode, Sarah Jessica Parker said, they filmed. 17:05Speaker 1 Three this is traditional tragicity not and just like that. Yeah, okay, great, I'm a purist. I'm glad that we're talking about it. 17:12Speaker 2 So three different ending. So the first ending that we all saw on our screens is she ends up with Big. The second fake ending that they filmed was her coming back to New York alone, and the third one can guess, oh, her ending up with Alexander Petrov's no. No, And she was like, yeah, it was so obvious because they were such bad end. 17:38Speaker 3 Look, the one of her coming back to New York alone would have been nice, would have been like it would proper. Yes, I actually think maybe if the show was set today that she re that's so true. Back then everyone wanted a happy ending and we weren't. You know, the show was already revolutionary enough. 17:54Speaker 1 The people weren't. Back then, everyone was like, what would you do with that? And then yes, we don't understand. I don't understand, but now we know, we now we know. 18:03Speaker 2 Kit Harrington on Game of Throw Yeah said that because all of their scenes were filmed in like rural areas, like in forests and like snowy mountains. 18:12Speaker 1 You're a fan and you tricked out that you know what you deserved exactly? Do you take that video? You tell us what's going on. 18:19Speaker 2 But they said they had paparazzi were coming camouflage with these big with these big lenses, filming them like walking up like because everything in Game of Thrones would have been a leak, because even just seeing two characters together and Game of Thrones would have been a huge league, even seeing a character still alive, a character still alive, like a character who's like never met another character together. So everything was like really high stakes. So he said that they all had to film a certain number of fake scenes, like proper fake scenes that they knew would never I. 18:51Speaker 1 Just think of the money that's being spent, so much. 18:53Speaker 2 Money on production on actors with Game of Thrones. 18:58Speaker 1 What a waste of money because any name, you know what. 19:07Speaker 3 Us, choose your own adventure, release them all and the people can decide how it should have ended. 19:12Speaker 1 Agree. 19:12Speaker 2 Okay, And this is my favorite one in Avengers end Game. So if you haven't watched Endgame, this is going to be a spoiler. 19:20Speaker 1 But come on, it's been years and years. I haven't watched it. I probably never will. 19:24Speaker 2 Okay, well this is not going to be a huge, huge spoiler, but there's a scene where there's a funeral. So, like one of the characters dies and they all go to a funeral. They told Tom Holland and Mark Ruffalo, who are the two cast members known for accidentally leaking stuff. 19:39Speaker 1 Yeah, Tom Holland. 19:41Speaker 2 Tom Holland has given everyone Avenger plots. Yeah, his whole life, that's all he does, Avengers plots. They told the two of them that it was a wedding scene, and then they came dressed thinking they were filming a wedding scene and didn't realize. 19:54Speaker 1 Until they were there that it was a funeral. 19:56Speaker 2 And they still didn't tell them until the movie was released. Oh it was so only Robert Downey Jr. Was the only actor in that whole franchise to get the full script? 20:08Speaker 3 Is that because he was dead, because he whispered into a microphone. 20:13Speaker 1 Because he was dead, because he was don't tell anyone. 20:15Speaker 2 Yeah, so he was the only one. No one else everyone knew like bits and pieces. But Tom Holland literally thought the funeral scene he was filming for did. 20:23Speaker 1 The rest of the cart not realized when he was not there Robert because he also came there. He had to come. 20:32Speaker 3 That's so funny because that's not so much keeping it a secret from the fans. 20:38Speaker 2 Secret from the car so they don't accidentally. So Tom Holland couldn't actually like leak anything because he didn't know. 20:44Speaker 3 I want to know what film or TV set you would cross international date lines to go on stalk if it. 20:51Speaker 2 Was still filming, or if they did like another season or like brought it back to our screens. The Mindy Project, Oh I would, Oh my god, I would honestly get because like her whole thing was like she was a gynocologist, and I would literally get a doctorate and pretend that I'm a guyano and just to get on that set and be like I'm here to advise. I'm here to like, yeah, I'm here to see Mindy Kayling, here for miss Kayling. 21:19Speaker 1 Here for miss Kayling. 21:20Speaker 2 I'm here to advise as the doctor on set. Oh my god, I'd love that. 21:24Speaker 1 What would be yours? 21:25Speaker 6 Oh? 21:25Speaker 1 Look, if I'm looking backwards, it would be fleaback. That's such a good one. I feel like it would be fairly easy as well. 21:32Speaker 3 Yeah, I think so too. That would be pretty easy. Also, I feel like you're like. 21:36Speaker 1 Phoebe bit chill. 21:37Speaker 2 You know, she'd be so be excited to see you, would be I think she'dn't brite you on As a writer, I think so too. 21:42Speaker 1 Yeah, oh my god. And like looking forwards, I reckon that they'll have a bit of travel with the Hated Rivalry set next time. Oh yeah, they are going to have trouble. 21:52Speaker 3 Because if the summer I turned pretty is pulling out the fans for those two boys, imagine. 21:57Speaker 1 Taking it up a notch the Heated rivalry. 21:59Speaker 2 Will you give them so many points? Just film fake scenes, but make sure you release those ones to that. 22:04Speaker 1 Secluded cabin is suddenly going to look like it's got. 22:07Speaker 2 A great It's like, can you just remove the Airbnb signed from the lawn? 22:11Speaker 1 That'd be great. 22:13Speaker 3 Okay, And we have to talk about something that is joked around the Spill team that I have a doctrine in which she's Quinn. 22:20Speaker 1 Are you across Quinn? The app Quinn? 22:23Speaker 4 Oh? 22:23Speaker 1 When you say. 22:24Speaker 2 App Quinn, I am across it. When you just say Quinn general, I'm like, I don't think I met her. 22:30Speaker 1 The app quick Quinn. Yes. It is like audio erotica It is an app. 22:35Speaker 3 I came across it back at my last job when I was at Murray Claire and I was interviewing Thomas Dougherty. So Thomas Doherty you might remember from the reboot of Gossip Girls, and he's more recently and tell me lies. 22:48Speaker 1 Yes, he has a very chiseled jaw. He has a very chiseled jaw. 22:52Speaker 3 And despite the accent that he often sports in his shows, he's not American. 22:57Speaker 1 He's Scottish. So he's got a beautiful, beauty Scottish face. I couldn't get any better. He's got it. 23:03Speaker 3 And so Quinn is an app like you subscribe to. There's audio erotica on there, done by contributors, creators like normal guys out there. 23:13Speaker 1 It's like a sexy, calm app. It is, Yes, it's calm, but instead of falling asleep, you're getting horny. You're getting horned. Yeah, yeah, I like it because I. 23:22Speaker 2 Heard that women are more likely to get off on like audible sound versus visual. 23:30Speaker 3 Well it would seem so, and like I think, you know, that's the problem. A lot of like visual porn is not made for women, it's made for men. So this app, which was actually created by Caroline Spiegel, And if that name sounds familiar, it's because she's the sister of Snapchat creator Evan. 23:45Speaker 1 Oh my gosh, she's like and they're both sibling. 23:49Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah, Nepo's sibling. But she's like cooler chica and has created something that's like way better for the. 23:54Speaker 1 Girlies and fun sibling duo. Yeah, which also means that she's sister in law. 24:01Speaker 2 They should do a collab time Snapchat. 24:06Speaker 7 They made share a video. 24:07Speaker 6 I don't know. 24:09Speaker 1 So she's created this space where it is like about women's pleasure, much needed, much needed space where it's the focus. It's like female run, female staffed business. Predominantly most of the background creators on it are female. The voices are predominantly male. There are some female voices on it too, because it's like male for female and female for female. Correct. 24:31Speaker 3 Something that they started doing, as I mentioned with Thomas Doherty, was doing these things they call quinn originals with famous men narrating audio erotica. 24:42Speaker 1 I love that. 24:43Speaker 3 So Thomas Doherty came first, so we have to like thank him because he. 24:52Speaker 1 Led the way. 24:53Speaker 3 And what has followed has been like the most astounding lineup of top tier a War winning, and I'm like, when I say award winning, I mean like, like, these are guys that are like Emmy Golden Globe like nominade winners. So I'm going to run you through the stuff, right, Okay. So there's been Jesse Williams, who, of course like, oh my god, those eyes plays Jackson Avery in Ray's Anatomy speaking of Flea Bag, which we just did Andrew. 25:21Speaker 1 The actors at which is like normal accent, yeah, with his Irish accent. Tom blythe tom blythe Beautiful tom Bly God, so many that we already talked about today. There is is like promo for Sunrise on the Things. 25:36Speaker 3 Yeah, well he's not in that unfortunately, no, because it's set so yeah, so Ray Fines actually plays Snow in that one. Okay, Yeah, so it's it's a bit less sexy because tom blythe isn't in it, but Beautiful tom blythe Chris Brinney from the Summer Return pretty again another thing, yes, so okay, but also not only are they getting these men to do it, they're really explicit like they're not tame, right, They're not. So they're getting them to say yes to it. They're getting them to do it. There's sound effects and everything, and they're. 26:09Speaker 1 Getting them to do it at the exact. 26:11Speaker 3 Time that like their major project is. So when the summertime Pretty season three came out, that's when. 26:18Speaker 1 Chris's episode dropped. Wow, same as like okay, that's smart dropped. Like They're so amazing the way they're able to get them. 26:26Speaker 3 And as someone who like books talent, right, that's my job here, that's what I do for No Filter, I book the talent and when I worked in magazines, I booked the cover star talent. 26:36Speaker 1 Right. 26:36Speaker 3 It is hard, like there is like they have not much time to spare. It is hard to get someone like everyone's chasing them, especially when they're on for like those projects. So it is amazing to me how they've managed to get these guys to do this, which is like quite a hard sell I would imagine at the start. But I think that because of the lineup they've had, it's getting easier and easier because when you look at that roster, if you're like a talent manager and you look and you go, oh Andrew Scott, like wow, he's done this, like you know all of these like amazing actors, then you get more likely to show it and say hey, like. 27:11Speaker 1 Yeah, that's chat you. 27:12Speaker 2 And I also wonder because like Romanticy is like killing it in the genre game right now. 27:19Speaker 3 Funny you mention that because Jesse Williams, yeah, his one is themed around Romanticy still like a. 27:25Speaker 1 Very porn vie. I like that. 27:28Speaker 3 The other guys that have done it who we also just talked about was Connor Story and Hudson Williams stuff. 27:33Speaker 1 They did a series together. Of course they did. Of course they did, because that's. 27:36Speaker 3 What they can't do anything and they can yeah, they can never not do anything together. And there's plays into that same vibe as well. 27:42Speaker 2 Yeah, because it's like every like I mean, I'm a huge Romanticy reader, and like I know that a lot of production companies are thinking about taking these like books that everyone loves to the big screen. Like we know Michael B. Jordan's bought rights of a series that was like the whole room of him, like talking to Yarnha on the red carpet, everyone thinking she's going to be starring in one of his upcoming productions. 28:04Speaker 1 And I think this. 28:05Speaker 2 Is such a good opportunity for these men to like jump on this platform because you're obviously, if you're gonna listen, you're gonna visualize them. 28:13Speaker 1 Absolutely. It's not like an anonymous no, exactly what they like. And they all have like massive fan. 28:19Speaker 3 Bases and girls and the way that the Queen Girls tease the next celebrity on their TikTok and Instagram. You'll see like an arm or you'll. 28:26Speaker 1 See like I know that arm, well you do, because you're like I recognize those tattoos, I recognize those backsteps. 28:33Speaker 3 Well indeed, because the latest one to drop, the latest series was narrated by Sean Hattersey of The Pit. 28:42Speaker 1 Oh, he is such a good looking guy. He is such but everyone on the Pit is very good looking. Yeah, but especially those two sad, sad, sexy old doctors. 28:53Speaker 2 Right, oh my god, Okay, I'm really really you know now. 28:57Speaker 3 Okay, So when I hadn't watched The Pit because like, I don't. 29:00Speaker 1 Want to get around a medical drama. You know, you're very much like LB, like it's too real. 29:05Speaker 3 Yes, But then when I started seeing Sean hat to see on the Quinn's feed, I was like, he's really hot. And I've since watched The Pit now I love it, which is so I love that so they're very good, like Quinn seem very good at picking men who aren't just like super attractive and are doing really well in that. 29:21Speaker 1 Space, but also very like Zygeist. Yeah, like everyone's already talking about that. They absolutely nail it. 29:26Speaker 3 I'm going to give a shout out to the two girls at Quinn that run the social media, Brooke and Michayla. 29:32Speaker 1 You're doing guard's work. Girls. 29:33Speaker 3 Absolutely, they're like world class girls, girls what we want. They are both gorgeous, they're always on there, they're primoing, they're so funny. Yeah, you've got to get around on this great and they have really good taste in men because I can see like who they're tapping, you can you can see who that they picked. 29:52Speaker 1 But do you want to hear some? I definitely want to hear some? Okay, how do we want to do that? Shall I play you some and you can kind of guess who you think it is? Okay? 30:00Speaker 7 Yeah? 30:00Speaker 1 I like that, you like that? Okay, I'm nervous. Spillers. 30:05Speaker 2 If you're watching this on Apple podcasts or YouTube, close your eyes, don't look at me. 30:08Speaker 1 Do this. 30:11Speaker 5 I would take your clothes off until you were nothing, but you're underwear. I will get that sound out of you again, the one you made when you press your body into mind. 30:25Speaker 6 Oh, the pushing noises, breathless, desperate for some relief, and the pressure building inside you. 30:38Speaker 1 Oh my god, who do you think that is? Was that Chris Briny? No? Older? Older, much older? 30:47Speaker 3 Ah, I'm gonna read you the tags that were under the audio for that older man. 30:55Speaker 1 Forbidden romance, forbidden romance, mutual pining, sexting, nude picture, jealousy, personal backstory, consent, very important, it is important. M dom oh male dominant watching instructing you. Oh, it's my pit man. Sean had to see it is he sounds so young in. 31:18Speaker 3 That well they make so much feel like the breathy voice must be the breathiness. 31:22Speaker 1 I don't know. Maybe he just feels young because he's very exciting. 31:27Speaker 7 You like that? 31:28Speaker 1 All right, Let's try another one and say if you can guess who this is. 31:34Speaker 7 And you never even said a word about any of it to me. I thought you trusted me and we trusted each other, but you betrayed. 31:48Speaker 4 Me and no, no, I am Oh you're sorry. 32:01Speaker 7 Now you're sorry. Here, we've been sorry. We all that's your chance, prove it to me. 32:19Speaker 4 Beg. You heard me. 32:28Speaker 7 Beg. 32:33Speaker 4 Sorry isn't good enough? 32:36Speaker 7 Not for the anguish I should when you left me? 32:38Speaker 2 Oh my god, this could easily be Flee Back season three, Andrew, You're so right. 32:44Speaker 1 Yeah, So what's really funny is that not only do they like get these guys, and they get them when they're doing a major project. The story kind of weaves in a little instead of like Neil, he's saying, beg, beg, and he says it so well, and he says it so so well. 33:04Speaker 2 I wish I had like a transcript to reply to what are you saying? Because I was like, Oh, I didn't say sorry, but maybe I should have. 33:10Speaker 1 Maybe I should have. 33:11Speaker 3 Okay, and I'm going to play you one more Okay, this one I've chosen to show you just how explicit it can go. 33:20Speaker 1 Oh god, we're gonna have to beat that so much. 33:24Speaker 8 Do you want me to fill you up? 33:26Speaker 4 Darling? 33:28Speaker 1 And I will, but first the bed moving. 33:33Speaker 8 I need you to get me ready for you come here and Niel, whoa that? 33:41Speaker 1 And your leg's still working after that? 33:42Speaker 4 Darling? 33:44Speaker 8 Yeah, let me help you. You're so pretty like this so hazy from Climax on your knees for me. Do you see how hard do you make me? How much I love making you feel good? I need you to spit on it. 34:05Speaker 1 For me, please, my god. Someone British, right, someone British is a tom BLI. No, I don't know any British men. Okay, that one was Jamie Campbell Bauer. Oh my god, stranger things, Stranger things. That's guys, Oh my god. Just if you're like imagining, he is really hot in real life. He's really really beautiful in realize. 34:36Speaker 2 And this is actually a good strategy for him because a lot of people he played Bena's so good. 34:41Speaker 3 Yeah, he's very good at being scary that a lot of people just hated him. But he really just came out and this was actually he's done two series on Quicks. 34:49Speaker 1 He loves it, he loves it. 34:51Speaker 3 He's come back for more, and whenever he's asked about it in the interviews, he can't speak highly enough of it. He's like, my god, I love that it's a female led company. I love that it prioritizes women's pleasure. He's all over it, like dream man. I can talk about other days like he's love of my life. Right, So he's done two series of it, which is great news for all the fans of like ones that have been in the past thing like we want more, we want more. Jamie has like come back and done another one, so you never know what could happen. But the reason why I wanted to talk about this today is because this morning I woke up and did my morning scroll. I don't do it an hour and forty five minutes. 35:34Speaker 1 It's getting I scroll instare in TikTok instead. 35:37Speaker 3 And they're also very healthy habits, very healthy habits. They have started teasing their next Quinn original with a famous person. 35:49Speaker 1 Who is it. It would appear to be Sam Hewan from Outlander. 35:55Speaker 7 Stop. 35:56Speaker 1 They are so smart, good, are so blad, They so know what the girls want. 36:03Speaker 9 Oh, it's always hot men as well. They're always the hottest I know. And they also do you know what, they're all really good guys too. Yeah, there's no one on their rostar that you're like, oh, he's like there's complaints about him or there's something weird, Like they just they're good guys. 36:18Speaker 1 They do their background racent. 36:20Speaker 2 And it's also like this new wave of famous men and it's like I feel like it's a generational thing. Where like all the Hollywood men are kind of like aicked out by the like girl fan base because they. 36:30Speaker 1 Don't want to make movies for girls. 36:31Speaker 2 Yeshe was like, these men are leaning right in because we're the ones who are spending money to watch them exactly in our movies. Yeah, and they're like doing how I don't know, I feel like their career path, we're doing this is the absolute correct choice for them as well as like the Quinn girls, like I feel like it would have been so hard to develop like pretty much a pawn app for women, but also wanting it to be as like socially out there, like I feel like for women, firstly, no porn is ever made for women, and then for women. 37:02Speaker 1 To watch porn, we have to pretend we don't. 37:04Speaker 2 Yeah, and like with Quinn, it's like giving us a safe space to like share these videos with friends, to show them off and be like, yes, this is exactly what we want. 37:13Speaker 1 Well, that is so that it's so true. 37:15Speaker 3 And you know where one of the best places on the internet is the comments section, Yeah, Quinn's TikTok and Instagram, particularly TikTok because people are just funnier on there anyway. 37:25Speaker 1 But like I have this. 37:26Speaker 3 Theory that I know where all the hardcore directioners have grown up and gone, because no fan base was funnier, hornier, smarter the directions. 37:38Speaker 1 Now they're all Quin listeners. 37:40Speaker 2 They're all Queen listeners and probably Quinn writers. Yeah, Quinn, they're writing them scripts. 37:44Speaker 3 Yeah, but you know what they do tap really great writers to write these stories. 37:48Speaker 1 Well, it's like a proper like story. It's not like you're suddenly in the middle of it. No, no, no, It's it's like a beginning middle story. 37:58Speaker 3 So Jamie's story is like kind of a bit Draco Hermione coded. 38:02Speaker 1 It's one of those like Drake really good at. 38:04Speaker 3 Finding like the zeitgeisty things that the girlies are reading that's on platforms like AO three, which is like where all the. 38:10Speaker 1 Fan fit goes. 38:11Speaker 3 Speaking of I discovered on x there is so much AO three smart stories about the Pit. 38:19Speaker 1 It hasn't ever been going that long. 38:21Speaker 3 But the girls are at home like girls away, right, So I created the most like full on stories about the Pit. Okay, I need to know who you want to see next on Quinn. 38:31Speaker 1 Let me think who would be great? Can I tell you mine? 38:34Speaker 5 Yeah? 38:34Speaker 1 Can you tell me you tell me yours. 38:35Speaker 2 Well, I think I was thinking of this while we were just listening to those Donald Glover as childish Gambino. He was meant to come to send me to do a concert in like I think, I want to say, twenty eighteen nineteen, and he broke his foot and he couldn't perform, and I had bought VIP tickets for me and my sister and I wasn't even working then, and I sent him along Instagram message. I was disappointed that he didn't come. 39:02Speaker 1 And he didn't make it up to you by doing a Quinn. Yeah, he can make it up to me doing Quinn. 39:06Speaker 2 But I think, like I want my story to be him replying to me and going, okay, I'll do a private concept for you at my house. 39:13Speaker 1 Oh my god, I love this and that can be our whole queen story. 39:16Speaker 6 But actually went. 39:17Speaker 1 Out because you've put yourself in the narrative. I don't know what. 39:20Speaker 3 You're not wrong to do it, because that is actually the way that the stories are written. Like when you listen to them in the story, they're the partner in the story. 39:29Speaker 1 I like that. 39:30Speaker 3 Yeah, okay, I do have mine. Okay, it's Joseph Morgan. 39:35Speaker 1 It's Joseph. 39:36Speaker 3 He played Klaus in The Vampire Diaries and the Originals. 39:40Speaker 1 I need to look this up. I need to look this he makes look it up. He was like the really bad one. 39:45Speaker 3 He was like a really bad He's so sexy. He also has not aged, so I think he might. 39:50Speaker 1 Actually he's an English actor. He is an English actor. 39:54Speaker 3 He was so sexy as Klaus. I'd love him to just like can he as a vampire? 40:00Speaker 1 Yeah? Well a vampire. 40:01Speaker 3 He was a vampire werewolf highbrid because he was like way too powerful. 40:05Speaker 1 Oh, the most powerful and the bad guy. 40:07Speaker 3 Yeah, the most powerful and the bad guy. And I think he'd nail it, but I want him to do it as Klaus. 40:13Speaker 1 Yes, he would nail it. Yeah, canail You amen to that.

On the show today, we have a movie that you can dance to in your living room or on the cinema stage. And we also have a movie that you can vibe with, laugh with, investigate. 01:05Speaker 1 With, talk with. You went on a real journey with that movie. 01:08Speaker 2 Oh my god, I have so much to say, spillers, But first, mon, you have a movie that's been on your radar recently. 01:14Speaker 3 Yes, so there's a movie that's coming out today and I haven't seen it yet because it only drops later tonight. 01:20Speaker 1 But I'm really excited about it because I've read the book. 01:22Speaker 3 Oh so I think a lot of people would have heard of this, because I think a lot of people are reading it right now. Literally went to the park the other day and I saw a woman get out of a book and it was this book. It's everywhere. You might recognize it as the bright yellow book with the octopus on it, yes, but it's called Remarkably Bright Creatures. 01:38Speaker 2 I've heard very, very good things about this book. 01:40Speaker 3 Yeah, it's spent more than sixty four weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. It's written by this lady called Shelby van Pelt. 01:48Speaker 1 I don't know any of her other work, but she wrote this book. 01:51Speaker 3 And I actually read it from my book club and I aced the quiz, so it did really well, And I want to free your. 01:56Speaker 2 Book club has quizzes? 01:58Speaker 1 Shall we do a quiz? We take it very serious, not one of. 02:00Speaker 2 Those meant to be fun and enjoyed. 02:03Speaker 1 It's fun and you learn things. Emily. 02:06Speaker 3 So the plot is basically the main character is called Tova Sullivan. She's this woman in her seventies she's retired, but she doesn't fully want to retire, so she still has this part time job cleaning the aquarium and the aquarium the town aquarium. Yeah, it's the aquarium of the town. And she forms a bond. Nothing weird, but she forms a bond with this octopus called Marcellus. 02:29Speaker 2 Is it like a sexual book. 02:30Speaker 3 It's not a sexual pod. It's more of a deeper emotional connection. 02:34Speaker 1 He just gets her. 02:35Speaker 2 Octopuses are meant to be very smart creatures. Isn't it octopi not octopuses. 02:39Speaker 1 I don't think it's octopi. Well, there's no plural in this because it's only one o. 02:43Speaker 2 Well, this octopus seems like he is he or she he muscles, is very smart. So this we have an octopus that would guess who would win the fief for World Cup. 02:52Speaker 3 Yes, so there's all these videos of octopus octopi that. 02:56Speaker 2 Go viral and she doesn't take it seriously. 02:59Speaker 1 But okay, well I'm pretty sure that's what it is. But the woman who wrote. 03:03Speaker 3 This book got inspired by one of those viral videos of the octopus doing something smart. She was like, oh, they're so smart, and then she like wrote this book and there's. 03:10Speaker 1 Parts that are from the octopus perspective. 03:12Speaker 2 They love crazy imaginations. I know, I watched that video and I was like, cool, that made like a massive career out of writing this, Like she's a. 03:21Speaker 3 Seller book, actually great character inspoke, So there's little parts of book that are from the octopus perspective. And he's quite like, I'm sure it's a good book. He said that he's quite disdainful of humans. He's always like, I don't know, he's always kind of like looking down on them. 03:36Speaker 1 It's kind of comic relief in the book club. 03:38Speaker 3 People were divided over whether he's very annoying or very lovable. 03:42Speaker 1 Ah, but anyway. 03:44Speaker 3 It premiered at Sundance earlier this year and was very well received, very warm reception, so I'm very excited to see it. Sally's Field is playing Toba, and Lewis Pullman is in it. He's playing Cameron, who's this other character, Who's this. 03:56Speaker 1 Guy who's like thirty. Honestly, he really annoyed me in it. 03:58Speaker 2 He's just kind of like thirty. 04:00Speaker 1 He's just trying to like, he just has nothing figured out. He just has he's always like. 04:05Speaker 2 Him a break, he's down thirty everything's always breaking. 04:08Speaker 1 His camper van's always breaking. I think it's it is. 04:12Speaker 3 If you read it, you do mean everything goes wrong and it's sort of his fault and you just get it together cameraon. 04:18Speaker 1 But anyway, he's also a lead character. So very excited to see it. I think it'll be quite a heartwarming watch. It's quite emotion I. 04:24Speaker 2 Think, do you think I should read the book before I watch it? 04:27Speaker 3 Yeah? Maybe if you can be bothered. But it's going to come out tonight, so I don't know if you want to be part of the cultural movement, and yeah, maybe I'll just watch the movie. 04:34Speaker 1 Maybe just watch it. 04:35Speaker 3 So it's out on Netflix, I believe around five pm tonight, remarkably Brian creatures. 04:40Speaker 2 I'm excited. 04:42Speaker 3 Okay, So I went to see a movie this week where I have to say, I haven't been to a movie where the atmosphere in the audience was like this crazy for a while. It was the Billie Eilish Hit Me Hard and Soft tour, like the live concert experience in three D. 04:58Speaker 1 The day of a show, it just feels like any day at all. 05:02Speaker 4 I just feel like I'm like going to hang out with my friends. 05:05Speaker 2 Here I go. 05:08Speaker 4 To see the scrapes on my hands that is from the fans. I want to feel like it's me and them. You love that. 05:20Speaker 1 I love that. It was really good. 05:24Speaker 3 And I've never gone to a stadium tour of hers, like I didn't go to this tour. I've seen her at festivals when she was on the way up, like it grew in the moon and stuff, but. 05:31Speaker 1 I have never cared. 05:32Speaker 3 I've never seen her well after this, I really want to because she's amazing. I feel like I went to the concert because the crowd were like super fans, so everyone was there dressed in their like caps and kind of like dressed like her and were full like singing along. It was kind of like with the Ears tour with Taylor Swift, how people would go down to the front and like marsh in. 05:51Speaker 2 The like was there a marsh in your cinema? 05:53Speaker 1 There was a mosh in my cinema. 05:55Speaker 3 And the guy next to me was honestly, he brought a lot of the vibes like I wish I could recommend this movie. Sitting next to this particular man, he was like every time she did like a vocal run, he'd be like, yeah, he's kind of like do it along, and then he'd follow along every now and then be like, WHOA, I killed that anyway, So he was very invested. Would you consider yourself a Billie Eilish fan? 06:16Speaker 2 I would consider myself like, yeah, I would say I'm a fan of her music, but I don't know much about her as a person, and I don't think I would like when she came to Sydney. I think it was like a year ago she came to Sydney. I wasn't a big fan enough then to be like, Okay, I'm going to fork out for a concert ticket because concert tickets are expensive. 06:36Speaker 1 They are really expensive. 06:37Speaker 2 As you guys mentioned on the spill, this is. 06:40Speaker 1 A prime example of it. So I would say the same. 06:43Speaker 3 I really like a music, definitely not like a hardcore fan. So I went into it being like, oh am I going to be like a big enough fan to really enjoy this movie. But I really did. And I will say there were probably only like two songs I didn't recognize, like she has so many bangers. 06:56Speaker 2 Yeah, just keep going, and she's an excellent performer and live singer. 07:00Speaker 3 Because she obviously has so many deep emotional, moody songs. Me and my friend who went, We were like, whoa kind of like, you know, feels right now, but then it will suddenly be like bad guy and the whole cinema goes crazy. And it's obviously such a good way to get to experience that if you didn't go to the concert as well. I was thinking before the only concert films I can remember seeing other than this are the Eras Tour and then like never say never, the justin Peoble. 07:21Speaker 2 One, Oh yeah, oh did you ever you know which one I went to which when I was like quite young, like I was in primary school. The Hannah Montana concert me Miley Cyrus. 07:33Speaker 1 I did actually watch that too, and that was crazy. 07:36Speaker 2 Every time one of the Jonas brothers came on screen, every young girl in the cinema would just scream ahead off And I was like, because I was quite a mature young person, so I was like, they're not really there, They're not there. 07:48Speaker 3 I'm so glad you were there to clarify that I was such a looser. 07:51Speaker 2 I was like scolding these kids my age. 07:53Speaker 1 Yeah, like, thank thanks everyone. 07:56Speaker 3 So I feel like this one was different to sort of like the Ears to where it's just the concert films because they had these little behind the scenes interview bits with her as well on the day of the concert, and she it was done in collaboration with James Cameron, like he was one of the directors. 08:10Speaker 2 Oh wow, kind of friend. 08:11Speaker 1 I'm like in between avatars. 08:12Speaker 2 Yes, he's I need to show people the length of my work, not like blue people. 08:17Speaker 1 I'm more than that. 08:18Speaker 2 I'm more than avatar. 08:19Speaker 3 And the way it's shot is great, like the way she has such hypnotic eyes and the way she sort of stares down the camera. 08:25Speaker 2 And the way she does her makeup. I remember one of her I think it was Vogue where they do like the celebrities and how they do their makeup, and like her video went completely viral because of the way she does the eyeliner is so intense. 08:36Speaker 3 They show that in this too, where she sort of tweaks it on the end. She does all her hair and makeup for the tour herself. 08:42Speaker 2 That's crazy. And she's so good at makeup because her face always looks beat. 08:47Speaker 3 Yeah, she looked really great, and she talked about some really interesting things in the interview bits that he did with her, so she sort of explained her reasoning for why she dresses in the kind of basketball jersey and like baggy shorts for the concert, and she sort of spoke about how there's not that many female pop stars who don't do the whole like dress up and look really sexy kind of thing. Obviously we see that more with like Taylor Swift, Sabrina carp and to take and prey all those people, and she was like, I just didn't really want to have to do that because when I was growing up watching rap artists and they would just run around the stage being so comfortable and free, I just wanted to be like that, and she didn't see other women doing that, so she really wanted to be that for like the next generation of girls. 09:24Speaker 2 That's so cute. 09:25Speaker 1 Yeah, So I thought. 09:26Speaker 3 They showed really interesting things like that, a lot of interviews with the fans, and then also sort of showed how she is as a creative, like she's really involved in the lighting, she's really involved in everything to do with the stadium more than just like getting up there and singing. And then one thing I thought was really cute is that every town that they go to, they kind of connect with a rescue dog center and they bring in dogs for the crew and the other band members to like. 09:49Speaker 1 Have us like little therapy dogs and they play with them. 09:51Speaker 2 Shut up, why do we do that here? 09:53Speaker 1 And we should bring that. 09:55Speaker 2 We just had a dog in our studio just sleeping over there. 09:57Speaker 1 I think the podcast would be better. 09:58Speaker 2 Yeah, let's put that in our next like quarterly review. I want to do this, improvements to me for yourself, And I was like, improvements for everyone else bringing dogs. 10:10Speaker 3 So yeah, Billy Eilish hit me hard and soft. The tour live, it's out in cinema's now. Probably a good one if you have kids as well. I feel like all the like there were a lot of children there and they were really getting into it too, so. 10:20Speaker 2 Yeah, good family experience. Okay, I need to talk about a movie that I saw over the weekend. I was very lucky. I got to go to the Sydney screening of this movie. And when you know it's a weekend screening, it means there's going to be a lot of kids there. Because kids can come out in the weekend. 10:39Speaker 1 They're like vampires at night on the weekend. 10:41Speaker 2 We never see them throughout the week. We only see them on the weekend. So I went to the screening much similar to you, chaotic crowd, vibe vibes, a lot of children. And I was sitting next to Tina Burke and a few of us, and someone was like, Oh my god, look at all those kids over there. Look how many there are. And I was like, Oh my god, that's crazy. And then I realized those kids, all of them belonged to exact producer Georgie Page, all eight all millions of kids. There's like a million kids in that theater. Whoever went to Sheep Detectives in the weekend? All those kids you saw, all Georgie Pages kids, every single one of them. It was such a fun movie. Oh sorry, it's called Sheep Detectives. I should have lived with that. 11:22Speaker 1 The movie you've been talking about, a wee movie. 11:25Speaker 3 Of the year. 11:26Speaker 2 I reckon. I think Tina Burke agrees with me. Georgie, do you agree with me? She says, best movie ever. 11:33Speaker 5 If there's one secret to happiness in. 11:35Speaker 3 My life, it's taking care of the kindest creatures on earth, sheep. 11:42Speaker 4 I'm keeping them well fed, well groomed, and. 11:45Speaker 2 Each day read out loud to them mysteries who've done it? I know who the killer was. 11:51Speaker 1 Our shepherd was murdered and we shall solve the crime. I am George Hardy's lawyer. 11:57Speaker 5 He wrote and will in the night Time stories that people and the will are always the suspects. 12:01Speaker 2 That man had nothing. 12:03Speaker 1 Well, actually there is thirty million dollars and we have our motive. 12:09Speaker 2 It is so good. I regret not bringing more people because I want everyone to watch this. 12:15Speaker 3 You're like, why didn't they shut down the street at the State Theater like for dettlewors Prada. 12:19Speaker 2 I actually reckon, Hugh Jackman should have done like a big premiere here, Like, the reception for this movie is huge? 12:25Speaker 1 So is he in it quite a lot? 12:27Speaker 2 He's yes, he's in trailer. 12:29Speaker 1 Didn't make it seem that way. 12:30Speaker 2 Because his character dies very early on in the movie, which is also shown in the trailer, but he comes back during like flashbacks and stuff like that. So he's in like the whole length of the movie as an actor. Okay, but it's the highest rated movie he's ever done. 12:43Speaker 1 That's so unfortunate for him. What about the Greatest Showman? I thought that the guy's literally Wolverine. 12:52Speaker 2 Sorry, Hugh, but it is what it is anyway, sheep detective what it's about? So yes, Hugh Jackman is I would say the main character. He plays a shepherd who owns like this flock of sheep, and they're not like you know how when you see a flock of sheep, how they all look the same. 13:08Speaker 4 Not. 13:10Speaker 2 I think he like collects him throughout his life, so they're all like kind of like sheep who have just all come together. Anyways, he loves his sheep so much. She lives in just like a little caravan on his like field. And every night he reads detective stories to his sheep, and they say and he thinks he's just having a good time reading stories to his sheep, and then when he goes inside, it's shown to the audience that the sheep actually understand everything he's been saying, and they get really into the detective stories. His I was gonna say, the main sheep, his main sheep, the top sheep. His name is Lily. 13:46Speaker 1 Oh, it's a woman. It's a woman. 13:48Speaker 2 And she is played by Julia Louis Dreyfuss. Oh, very very good. She is like so well done. The other main character sheep is Sebastian and he's played by Brian Cranson, also really well done. 14:00Speaker 3 They played by just the voice, the voice voice. They're not there the voice. The sheep are very much Cgi sheep, and they're very very cute anyway, So what happens. Hugh Jackman murdered. I forgot his real name in the movie. We're calling him Hugh Jackman. 14:17Speaker 2 But you're not spoiling because he's in the trailer. It's in the trailer. He gets murdered, and then the sheep decide to investigate his murder because they know so much about murder because he's been reading them all these detective stories. 14:28Speaker 1 It's almost like he knew it was gonna happen. 14:30Speaker 2 Ah nice, And it's really hard for the sheep because they've never left their flock and they've never left the field, so even just crossing a road, they've never seen a road before. The Steaks couldn't be high of the sheep leaving their field to get into the town because the stupid humans don't know what they're doing. Nicholas Braun is the main police guy and the only police guy of the town. He has no idea what he's doing. He's busy taking orders from Emma Thompson and she's just the lawyer. She has no idea what she's doing, so the have to keep giving the humans clues so they can help investigate Hugh Jackman's death. 15:05Speaker 3 Do you know there's actually a lot of parallels to this in the Octopus book, because the octopus. 15:08Speaker 1 Helped solve a mystery. I forgot to say that. 15:10Speaker 3 So there's a running commentary that humans need to listen to animals more. 15:14Speaker 2 Okay, whatever, No, it's true. I think humans need to listen to animals more. And in the end, they do listen to them. I mean not physically. They still can't understand what they're saying, but they do listen to them. But there was a lot of good analogies in this, So, like the sheep do this thing where they all come down to three to forget what they just experience. So it's all about like kind of like living in your trauma, not always like pushing things aside and trying to forget it. 15:41Speaker 1 So what but count down to three to forget what they're just seeing because they were. 15:44Speaker 2 Like, Hugh Jackman just died. Everyone, let's forget this. This was so terrible. One, two, three, And then they forget it. But then they were like, no, we deserve to remember Hugh Jackman. He did so much for our life and for our flock. But then, but then I looked into this, this is not a thing that sheep do. Sheep have actually very good memories and remember everything. 16:02Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't expect so that was kind of a PLoP hole in the movie. 16:06Speaker 1 I thought this was steeped. 16:07Speaker 2 In real sheep yess. Yes, what is a real sheep? Fact though, is that there's a cute little lamb in the movie that's like really like muddy and dirty, and the other sheep want nothing to do with it because it's the winter lamb and usually when lambs are born in the winter gets rejected by. 16:24Speaker 1 The flock so they die. 16:26Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, this one didn't die spoilers, but like Hugh Jackman's the only one that really loves it, and he died. He dies, And now who's gonna love the lamb? 16:36Speaker 1 I'm gonna want you to forget that? 16:38Speaker 4 What? 16:39Speaker 2 Two? 16:39Speaker 4 Three? 16:40Speaker 1 What lamb? 16:41Speaker 2 What is this place? Where am I? But anyway, okay, I do want to say that this movie, although it's like marketed towards kids and family, it is such a good movie and it's also has really deep themes that I didn't expect from a kid's movie, kind of like int like where like you know how adults like draw so many like parallels to it. It's one of those really good movies. It's also much sader than what I expected. And because the whole thing's in a mystery, it's kind of like a Sherlock's Home vibe where you're like trying to guess who the killer is A body kid next to me guessed it in two seconds. 17:19Speaker 1 We like, don't spoil it. 17:21Speaker 2 Well, the person came on screen and the kid next to me was like, that person did it, And I was like, kids are so stupid. And then as I was watching, I was like, oh, maybe they're just I think that might be And then yeah, that eight year old kid next to me just spoiled the whole movie. But you know what, kids are smart. I guess. 17:38Speaker 3 Well, it's really good though, when they do those movies that parents can also genuinely enjoy, not just like you know some like Duck. 17:44Speaker 4 Well. 17:45Speaker 2 Everyone from our team were just like full adults. We didn't besides Georgie, we all bought other adult people. 17:50Speaker 3 You guys decided Saturday, this is what I'm doing and watching some sheeps of. 17:54Speaker 2 The Murder and I'm so glad I did.

There's a kind of stuckness that can show up even when everything looks “ready” on paper—the numbers work, the plan is there, and yet the decision still feels hard to make. I see this a lot when therapists are considering the move from W2 work into full-time private practice. In my coaching conversation with Dr. Amber Vernon, a recent grad of the Money Skills for Therapists program, we explore what happens when the hesitation isn't about money skills or financial planning—but something deeper. Even when the path looks clear, there can still be a sense of activation, doubt, or what she calls “squirreliness” that makes it hard to move forward. Ready to feel more calm and confident about your money? Do you feel confused, ashamed, or uncertain about your finances? Are you craving support to help shift your money mindset and transform your relationship with money? Are you ready to gain practical tools and the confidence you need to finally take control of your business finances? If so, I'd love for you to join me for one of my free online workshops, designed specifically for private practice owners who feel stuck—whether it's mindset blocks, avoidance, or the technical side of managing money. In just one hour together, you'll gain clarity, practical strategies, and next steps to move forward with intention. Click here to explore upcoming workshops and save your spot or register to get the replay. When the Numbers Make Sense but the Decision Still Feels Hard Sometimes the stuckness isn't about strategy—it's about what the decision represents. You can have the income stability, the emergency fund, the private practice already working… and still feel a pull to stay where things feel more predictable. What I see here is how control, perfectionism, and financial anxiety can keep you circling even when you're ready. When your nervous system is activated, it can start to question everything—your plan, your niche, even the sustainability of your therapy business. And at that point, more data doesn't help. That “squirreliness” isn't a sign that you're doing something wrong—it's more often a sign that you're stepping into something unfamiliar. Moving Through Uncertainty When You're Already “Ready” Even when the financial planning and logistics are in place, the decision can still feel unsettled—especially when control, identity, and uncertainty are all in the mix. (00:04:59) Deciding on career transition (00:07:28) Discussing work challenges and options (00:12:48) Avoiding future decisions now (00:15:39) Navigating personal decision impacts (00:25:54) Overcoming fear to take action (00:26:51) Assessing current intellectual interests (00:30:44) Choosing work that excites you (00:35:18) Exploring varied career paths (00:36:37) Deciding when to move on (00:40:21) Reflecting on chaotic energy (00:43:01) Embracing diverse skills and strategies Letting Your Path Be More Flexible Than You Expected One of the shifts in this conversation is moving away from the idea that there's one “right” version of private practice. For some therapists, the goal isn't a single, fixed path—it's building a career that allows for variety, different income streams, and evolving interests. When you're good at a lot of things, decision-making can feel harder, not easier. But that doesn't mean you're off track—it just means your path might be more flexible than you expected. Instead of waiting until everything feels certain, you can start by taking small steps, testing what feels energizing, and letting that guide your next move. You don't have to figure out your entire career transition all at once—you just have to stay in motion long enough to learn what actually fits.

April 9, 2026 Everything Co-op continues its observance of the International Year of the Woman Farmer 2026 (IYWF 2026) with distinguished guest, Karen Washington, farmer, food justice activist, and co-owner of Rise & Root Farm in Chester, New York. Vernon and Karen discuss her journey as a farmer and food justice activists, the vital role women play in agriculture, and how initiatives like Black Urban Growers are empowering communities to build equitable and sustainable food systems. Karen is a passionate food advocate who co-founded Black Urban Growers (BUGS) in 2010, an organization dedicated to supporting growers in both urban and rural communities. Her impact and leadership have earned her widespread recognition, including being named one of Ebony magazine's 100 Most Influential African Americans in 2012, receiving the James Beard Leadership Award in 2014, and most recently, the James Beard Humanitarian Award in 2023. Karen also contributes her time and expertise as a board member of the New York Botanical Gardens, the Mary Mitchell Center, Soul Fire Farm, and the Black Farmer Fund. The United Nations has designated 2026 as the International Year of the Woman Farmer, recognizing the vital yet often underappreciated contributions of women across global agri-food systems. From production and processing to distribution and trade, women farmers play a central role in advancing food security, nutrition, and economic resilience. IYWF 2026 aims to elevate awareness and drive action to close gender gaps and improve livelihoods worldwide.

Georgia Secretary of State candidate Vernon Jones joins Morning Extra for a fiery, wide-ranging interview on election integrity, voter ID laws, Dominion voting machines, ballot drop boxes, and restoring trust in Georgia elections. Jones sounds off on illegal voting, QR code concerns, voter roll cleanup, forensic audits of the 2020 election, and whether Georgia is really the “safest place to vote.” He also discusses redistricting, bipartisan cooperation, and why he believes stronger enforcement and accountability are needed to protect future elections.

When 27-year-old Lisa McBride disappeared in June of 1990, she was reported missing within hours. Her family was immediately alarmed. Police quickly believed they were looking at foul play. A 17-member task force was formed. Her family offered a massive reward. Thousands of flyers were printed and distributed. And still, for more than three decades, Lisa's case remained unsolved. In the original episode, I asked a question that I think sat at the heart of this case: with what looked like such a strong initial response, with so many resources, so much media coverage, and so much community effort, how was Lisa's case still unsolved? Now, after 35 years, there may finally be an answer. Lisa McBride was 27 years old when she went missing from Vernon, New Jersey on Saturday, June 23, 1990, and was likely killed shortly after. She was white with brown hair and brown eyes, was 5'7” and weighed approximately 135lbs. She was last seen wearing blue jeans a white shirt with a shoelace type black tie in the back.   Anyone with information is asked to call the Sussex County Prosecutor's Office at 973-383-1570. Marjorie “Gayle” McCaffrey was 36 years old when she disappeared from Charleston, South Carolina. She was last seen at her home at 2829 Limestone Boulevard in the West Ashley neighborhood on March 17, 2012, and detectives are investigating her disappearance as a homicide. Gayle was white with brown hair and blue eyes, stood 5'2”, and weighed approximately 155 pounds. She has never been found. Anyone with information is asked to contact Charleston County Sheriff's Office at 843-554-2241.

You're listening to a MoMA mea podcast from Mamma Mia. Welcome to this spill your daily pop culture fix. I'm Laura Brandy and I'm Vernon, and welcome to Weekend Weekend, where we talk about the best new TV shows and movies that have just dropped this week. Although this week we have two movie recommendations for you to Buzzy movie recommendation. 00:31Speaker 2 Sorry, we need to correct that we have a movie and a half recommendation. 00:34Speaker 1 Okay, I'm already off you for just saying that. A half recommendation Emily Treesman and what do you. 00:41Speaker 2 Mean, guys? I tried really hard. So the movie I'm recommending is called Apex. Yes, it is on Netflix and it stars Charlie Theron and Taron Egerton. This movie is a horror suspense movie in the wilderness. It is so scary. I've only watched half of it. 01:03Speaker 1 Are you serious? 01:04Speaker 2 It's so scared. 01:05Speaker 1 It's okay, But also I just want people to take that with a grade of salt, because you're a scared cat. 01:09Speaker 2 I'm like, you're easily scared, easily scared, but this one just reached a whole new level. 01:15Speaker 1 I don't know what it is. 01:16Speaker 2 Maybe it's a type of horror that I am scared of, which I've only just established from watching this movie. Anyway, I'll let you know what the movie is about. 01:24Speaker 1 Please do so. 01:25Speaker 2 Charlie's Theron plays. This happens in the first few minutes of the film, so I feel like I can say, ye say it. She's like an adrenaline junkie. Yeah, she's like loves rock climbing. She's like one of those dar devil kind of people. And both her and her partner are in the like early early stages of the movie, so this is not a spoiler. They're climbing up this mountain and he falls to his death. 01:46Speaker 1 Okay, just so you know, every climbing adventure movie starts like that. 01:50Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah, yeah, it sets up her as a person. 01:53Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly every movie I've watched about people being like dare devil junkies climbing blah blah blah. Yeah, like for that movie where they're it's on top of the tower and there has to climb up death at the start. Also, yeah, every every kind of climber, you have to. 02:05Speaker 2 Figure out the main character's purpose. 02:07Speaker 1 Yeah, you need to know the steaks straight away. Because all of a sudden, you're just like, this is so dangerous, people are gonna diet. It makes you And also, can I say nothing is more terrifying than watching on screen someone accidentally fall to their death because you can feel it. I don't find it like a like a like my hands. And it's the type of the it's the type of horror that I can't get around. Yeah, it is so scary because it's so rare. You're so worried that one day you might And you famously don't love the outdoors. You don't love activities, You don't love anything that would put you at a great height. 02:35Speaker 2 Why why hate nature? 02:36Speaker 1 Yeah no, why not famously hate nature? Hate adventures? So why do you think you'd find yourself in the situation that you would be climbing a great like mountain or something. 02:45Speaker 2 I'll tell you why, because this movie is set in the blue mountains. 02:48Speaker 1 Yeah, it's way to Also, if she was doing it with her partner, you're like, of course that's gonna happen to you. If you go on a date with someone that let's go climb a mountain, You're like, okay. 02:58Speaker 2 God, you'll never catch me with someone like that. 03:01Speaker 1 Oh see, I think it'd be a fun day. 03:02Speaker 2 I can immediately suss out on dating apps who the adrenaline junkies are in the men that I match with, and it's an immediate I can't shite past s, white past I can't do it. I can't do it. I am not an adventurous woman. 03:14Speaker 1 So this is set in the Blue Mountains, right, And can I just say, we're only just getting over Australia's like pr problem of the whole Wolf Creek situation where for years people were just like because obviously that's about that's based on a true story of a man in the outback who hunted and killed backpackers and those movies and the TV show are so gruesome. 03:32Speaker 2 Well I think they learned from that. So it's not actually like mentioned that it is the Blue mass if they made up like some fictional like national park. But it was very it's very clearly the Blue Mountains, and we all know that they filmed in the Blue Mountains. 03:45Speaker 1 People know it's in Australia. 03:46Speaker 2 Yes, it's very because Taron Egerton has a very Bogan accent and it's a very well done Bogen action. 03:53Speaker 1 We we love a stereotype when it hits. 03:55Speaker 2 Yes, it is, that's what it works so good, to the point where I was like, I forgot he was Australian. Then I was like, but he's not. He's very British. It's very British man anyway. So yeah, Charlie's husband dies. She now goes traveling to Australia to do this like long long nature walk. It's giving Wild, Yeah, it's giving cake. 04:16Speaker 1 It's giving Reese with a spoon, like trudging along a long. 04:19Speaker 2 Path with a backpack, except a man is hunting her. 04:22Speaker 1 Yeah, and you know what, Wild could have used that infusion of a bit of drama. 04:26Speaker 2 It's like, let's hurry it up, let's speed it on, walk faster Reese. So it's basically about Charlie. He's like going through the Blue Mountains while being hunted by a man, hence Apex. It is so scary because it's so real. 04:41Speaker 1 Oh okay, it just feels real, Yeah, because the fantasy element or anything like that to it, Like it's just an evil man doing evil thing, and it's all about. 04:50Speaker 2 Like women like exploring on their own and how are reminded that we can't do that? 04:54Speaker 1 Oh okay, well yeah, exactly that's everyone's biggest fear when they go out on these things. It's like, again, I love that. 04:59Speaker 2 I can't even walk to me corner shop at nine pm because you're so scared. This movie has blindlessly the spirit. 05:04Speaker 1 A woman is literally out in nature by herself, doing dangerous things, and the most dangerous thing is still a miss, it's still a man. Well that you should have just got a bear in there and called it a day. 05:14Speaker 2 The bear would have actually helped her movie Cocaine bear. That would have been a great bed to have. Anyway, It's so scary, but it's so good. And the filming of the actual like scenes of like the walkthrough of the bush and like her in the river and like getting like thrown over in the kayak is like so like so scary. It's so so well done. It doesn't feel any like it's a proper film. It's not like anything cgi at all. It's just done really well. Her acting is amazing. His acting is amazing. We already would have known that. But it's just one of those movies if you are like an adrenaline junkie or you love like that kind of like suspense horror of like will he catch her. Won't he catch her? 05:54Speaker 1 Then? 05:54Speaker 2 This is like the kind of movie for you. You're on the edge of your seat. You're like sweating through the whole thing. 05:58Speaker 1 And how shary, isn't it? Because she's a good action stuff. 06:01Speaker 2 She is so good. She comes across like the good thing about her being in this film is that it's not I feel like if it was a different actress, that could have gone the way of like the poor woman can't get away, Like she's so small and fragile, she can't escape this. She comes across as like a badass in this film, Like it's not like Damsel in distress. It's very much like you can do it, you can make it out like she's so strong. I think that's also the premise of the film. And in that beginning scene, you know she is like well experienced in this world. So it's nothing like, oh my god, I don't know what to do. I don't know how to fire a gun, I don't know what to do. It's like very much like she can do this, she can do this. We're backing her. She's gonna win, okay. Taron Egerton so scary. 06:40Speaker 1 So scary. That's complicated for you because you love. 06:44Speaker 2 Him, she's so and he's like been in an Australia bondai watching the paparazzi photos, pretending it's. 06:50Speaker 1 Filming or horror. Okay, so apex on Netflix. Someone please watch the movie and then tell scaredy Cat Emily the ending. 06:58Speaker 2 Oh my god, yes, and tell me where if you can. I'm not wearing the Blue Mountains. I did the filming. I don't want to go there. 07:02Speaker 1 Don't you want to go there and take a picture. 07:04Speaker 2 I don't want to avoid that. They at all casts. 07:07Speaker 1 Okay. I can't believe this day has finally come. The build up to this for years. But also I feel like I have been living this movie the last month or so, at least because I traveled overseas into the cast. I've written multiple articles about it, We've released multiple videos and podcasts. And what will I do with my life? 07:28Speaker 2 It is that true? What? What are your plans? I don't know. 07:30Speaker 1 There's just darkness. There's just dark. 07:32Speaker 2 Take up a hobby, maybe go go bushwalking in the Blue Mountains. 07:35Speaker 1 I call you. I'm like, okay, I tried to be Telly's throw and I'm hanging from a mountain. What do I do of course, I'm talking about the fact that the devil weares prior to to is finally in cinemas. 07:48Speaker 2 You are here to help us through our current scandal, but I did not hire you, and all I need to do is my time until you've failed what you check the train do. 07:59Speaker 1 I'm going to make something of this job. You could write a book, The Definitive Miranda Priestley Expose Sindy. We did that. 08:08Speaker 2 The Brunello Cucinelli pants. Love those, and you definitely need an embroidered two piece to tam set, but not the terra cotta. Because you're so pale. 08:20Speaker 1 So. 08:22Speaker 2 Jealous that you watch it, I have such fomo. If you've listened to our episode where we talked about your interviews, I said I was saving to watch it with my mum, which I'm doing this Sunday. It's only a few days away. I was so jealous because you and a lot of the team got to watch it. You went to the Sydney premiere for it. Was it on the Tuesday, Yes, it was on the Tuesdays. 08:44Speaker 1 It was the very fans. 08:45Speaker 2 This has been a very long week for me space It's. 08:47Speaker 1 Been a lot. Yes, it was very fancy premiere at the State Theater. It was all done with the iconic red Devil Wears shoe. The champagne was flowing. They had like Devil Wears prior to like customized coke can give back some. 08:59Speaker 2 Of you didn't bring me back? 09:00Speaker 1 Oh my god, actually said, I didn't break myself back. But actually I'm why. I'm really sad that you're there. Just as a quick note is that you know how normally at the State Theater to line up, you line up along the street and it's chaos. And this time I was like, oh, there's no line, this is great. No, the line was down a back alleyway, so every person moved there and I saw like really famous people, like people have had huge TV shows overseas, like Australian influences, like Australian actorssh stars. No, I didn't see Practice Brummel here, who's obviously in the movie. No, No, I'm assuming that they didn't make him. We had to go all line up at an alleyway and at one point you're standing next to bins and barbed wire, and I was like, our jobs are so bad. 09:38Speaker 2 As Miranda would have won it. 09:39Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly, I have everyone being like this is us at the Devil was problem. No, it was so fun to see in a cinema because obviously, despite the fact that I interviewed the cast, I've written about it and done all these podcasts, I hadn't actually seen the full movie until that night because it was kept under lock and key. So now that I've seen the full thing. 09:55Speaker 2 I'm like, God, do you think I love it? Did you love it? 09:58Speaker 1 I liked it so and that's really high praise love. No, no, no, I loved I loved parts of it. I'm not even exaggerating, Like, here's the thing about the Devil weares prior too so so much to say. So it does pick up twenty years after the original, and again this is this is spoiler free because Emily hasn't seen it. I wouldn't do that to you, so don't you guys worry. So obviously we find Andy Sack. She's back in New York. She looks at the fact that she's been living overseas for many years and she's fulfilled her dream of becoming a serious journalist. But then that job gets ripped away from her and I won't say why, but it's very upsetting and sad. And also can I just say PSA to anyone who works in the media industry, This movie is very sober. You're like, oh, I should find another job just in something, but I have no other skills. 10:43Speaker 2 This is the one thing. 10:44Speaker 1 What do I do? So there's that. And at the same time, Miranda is still at Runway Magazine where she is the editor in chief, but she's up for a really big promotion. But the promotion yeah to like with a lives Clark, which is the publishing house, Like still be at Runway, but be like a drive kind of like how Adam Wintaur is now like still the Bosses, but now the overseeral of all the Conde Nast kind of products and things. But then a huge scandal breaks and Miranda and Runway face cancelation and also what will become of her promotion? Yeah, so the states could not be higher. Nigel, obviously played by the incredible Stanley Tucci, is still at Runway Magazine, still the fashion editor, but because of the way media has gone, now his fashion empire, I think I wrote in my review his fashion closet is now a cutlery draw, as in, like not a physical culturally draw, but like the size and the end and stuff. And at the same time, Emily Blunt's character Emily Charleston, is an executive at Deal. But there's a whole backstory there that I shan't get into, so there's a bit of a twist of fate to get it at what I give too much away that Andy ends up back at Runway Magazine as the head of the features department, and then it's this kind of thing of like her having to prove herself to Miranda, save the magazine, save people's careers. And then a lot of the movie also takes place in Italy. Oh yeah, okay, and those things are right switch like Emily, Yeah, They're like, hey, let's do our last season somewhere else. So I will say the best things about it. The original screenwriter, Aleene Broch McKenna, who wrote the first Devil west prit Of movie, is back and out of any movie where it's important to have the original screenwriter, the Devil Wes Prior, I would say is the one that matters the most because the dialogue is such a huroow piece of like the quotable lines, every line exactly, it's like every there's no it's all, it's just so snappy, so smart, so interesting, and so she's penned the sequel script and you can so tell it's exactly the same kind of humor. It's so cutting and interesting and you have these great one liners, so we love that. Of course, the cast are amazing, like watching them step back into these roles, and it's done a way where it doesn't feel jarring and it doesn't feel like you know, sometimes you step back into watching something and it just feels weird, like a lot of people said that with the Gilmore Girls Reboo, that it felt off with the pacing and how they spoke and the delivery and staff, whereas this feels correct. And also it starts so strong like the Devil we is Prota too, Like they jump straight back into the kind of the mix of the drama and you have the four main characters of Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway on screen together very quickly, which was actually a request I found out from Emily Blunt when she read the original script of saying like I don't think we have enough scenes with the core four, and we need one earlier on and that and it doesn't feel like fan service. It just really works and puts you into this world. 13:30Speaker 2 So do we have a lot of montages? You know? I love a montage, really a montage. 13:35Speaker 1 That's the thing. That's the thing. It's not as bring back montages, I know, I bring back makeovers. 13:40Speaker 2 So there's no, there's not and has always the best on montage, no, I know. 13:43Speaker 1 But also because she they explain why she still looks really good and she has nice clothes, like there's a plot point for that. She does get to go into the fashion closet a few times with Stanley tucciin and he pulls or a few things and stuff like that. But I will just say from my untrained fashion eye that the fashion this movie is nowhere near as good as the first. And I give it a little bit of grace because I've been watching the first one for twenty years, so those outfits are burnt into my brain. But I have such a vivid memory of watching The Devil Wes Prita, and every time like a new outfit would come on, you'd be like yeah, yeah, and me going home. And I was like working as a checkout chicken at Kmart in Townsville and I'd like try and like dress like The Devil Wears Pride of characters and it just. 14:20Speaker 2 Like so many movies have taken that, like yeah, montage of the fashion, like coming out of the car door, but then going in the building in a different outfit, and then going into a room and they're in a different outfit, and being at your desk and she's in a different outfit. 14:33Speaker 1 Oh okay, Okay, look, there's great clothes in there, but the clothes don't feel like this incredible character like they did in the first Mate. Okay, I will say, just going back to the good things because I'll get to the bad stuff in a minute. It doesn't feel like a sequel that shouldn't exist, Like it feels like there was more storyless deserve. It feels really deserved, not just because it's so good, but also because The Devil Wears Pritor. When I was really thinking about when I was sitting at my computer writing my review very late last night in this office, I was like, what is it that made this movie so ripe? For the fact that you could make a sequel, despite the fact that it's so beloved, because it's heaps of beloved movies that have released sequels that have not been good and that felt not correct and not needed. But The Devil wes Prator is one of the very few movies that ends on both an ending and a beginning because it ends with Andy leaving going off to forge her career. It ends where Emily is also starting her career. So it kind of it's very natural to wonder what came next because we're seeing the beginning of these women's careers, not the ending. And also Andy was like, she was kind of you getting back together with Nate, but she also was breaking out with him, So it's not like because to make a sequel in general, you often have to break things from the original. You have to break up a happily ever after, you have to end a friendship, you have to bring back a villain to make it work. It's like where people are upset about and just like that with Sex and the City because in order to bring Sex and the City back, they had to break all the things from the finale, and that's why people found it jarring. Whereas Devil we was pritor. It's just like you didn't have to break mething. 16:01Speaker 2 It was very much to be continued. 16:03Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly, and so that's why it feels like it the story is worth it. But also the story and the plot I thought was so great at the end. It has like I would feel like Shakespearean level twists and betrayal. Like a few times I was a gasping. I was like, and she said that, Oh my god, she says, someone says such. We'll talk about this when we do a brially honest review, which mystery. There's a few lines in there. I'm like, that is the meanest thing that anyone has ever said on film, but so but so like needed. There's some really emotional moments in it too, and the emotion didn't feel like, oh, we're just piggybacking off the original like they felt earned in the new movie. So that's all the good stuff. Ten out of ten love recommend see it in the cinema if you can. It kind of peetered a bit in the middle, and I began to get this like kind of sinking feeling in my stomach that The Devil was product had ruined the character of Miranda Priestley, because I felt like it had taken away some of her mystique and some of her the things that made her an iconic character by some times making her look really helpless or making her like giddy and happy. There's the point where she's like in the kitchen of her home, like just like making a drink and like she's chatting away to Andy, and I was like, I feel like I'm watching a female she doesn't do that, but Jed it makes sense later on the movie. It's like in the first movie, how they had to have that scene of her with no makeup where Andy comes upon her. 17:19Speaker 2 You had was that a scene that Meryl Street requested? 17:22Speaker 1 Yeah, they wanted to take it out of the first movie, and she was like, if you don't have that scene of her broken and different, then the movie doesn't work and the charactersn't work. And as I watched this movie, I was like, Oh, we needed those giddy, helpless scenes in the middle. She needed to kind of falter so that when she started flying get at the end, you were like, oh, I get it, I get it. There was that, And also the other thing is like the new character is so great, like somewhere in Ashley Turn Out of Ten, Caleb Haron, Turn Out of Tan, like everyone else so good. There was obviously so much that was shot that had to be cut, Like we've heard about all the cameos and scenes. 17:54Speaker 2 God and ashually wasn't cut. 17:55Speaker 1 Yeah, no, no, she was. Well, I think she'd have a lot more scenes, but obviously they didn't all make it into the movie. Even Meryl Strip told me in our interview that her scenes were cut. 18:02Speaker 2 Yeah, that's right. 18:03Speaker 1 But where I think having so much of the storyline needing to be cut was with Patrick Bramble's character Peter. And he's very charming in it, but it's such a small storyline in the movie, and. 18:16Speaker 2 So he's meant to be like ane Haeway's love and. 18:18Speaker 1 She's only love interest. Yeah, and there's a lot of paparazzi photos of them that came out because he's so hot, really, he's hot, and there's a lot of they became like iconic paparazzi photos of him and Anne Hathaway filming outside in New York and they look so crazy in love and it looked like an old school romance, and we were like like an old school room calm, and everyone's like, oh my god, can't wait to see that. That's one in the movie. Yeah, I just want you to be he's he's in it. He's definitely he's a character, Like he's fine. He hasn't been like he's not he's not Sidney Sweeney, Like he didn't get chopped. Yeah, cameo. But it did feel like that storyline wasn't given enough room to breathe. And I understand why because there was so much plot happening, and you want the plot to be with the four main characters, but then to meet for a little uneven at the end when he and like Anne Hathaway's character were having their big moment, I'm like, you guys are acting off these scenes. You've already shot your head, like. 19:12Speaker 2 They haven't had enough moments to have a big moment. 19:14Speaker 1 Yeah, Like, you guys are acting in the way that your characters spend so much time together, but we as the audience haven't seen that, so we're on the back foot with it a little bit. 19:23Speaker 2 And you don't even know him. 19:25Speaker 1 I was like, wait, is that strange man? But yeah, So that's my only note so on that, I would just say, release the director's cut. I would watch a four hour version of this movie, so easily avenge this. Yeah, bring back director's cuts where we get to see the full thing. So obviously more to say next week when we do a b really honest review and you've seen it, I can't wait to hear what you think. 19:45Speaker 2 I don't wait to watch you with my mum. I just rewatched the original. 19:48Speaker 1 Oh and yeah, per person, So The Devil was prot Of too is out in cinemas now, and stay tuned for. 19:57Speaker 2 If you love the Devil's product. I mean, I've just rewatch the original film. If you're on that same bandwagon and you feel like you know everything about it, we actually have a little gift for you. We have developed a Devil west Prada quiz to test your knowledge on the original film. If you want to give it a go. It is a little bit hard, but I felt like I made it through. I think I got like eighty six percent. 20:18Speaker 1 You thought it was okay? 20:20Speaker 2 Bye, Sorry Devil west Prada. I got of course you did. Anyone gets that you let me more than Emily or an LB.

This is the tenth and final part of the series from Garrett, a residential contractor who spent eight years on a remote forty-seven-acre property in the southern Appalachians of western North Carolina.In spring 2021, while re-pointing the root cellar walls, Garrett discovers a hidden cavity Earl built into the original foundation in 1971. Inside is a sealed plastic bundle containing a leather-bound journal, a hand-drawn map, and a letter addressed to Garrett by name.The letter explains that Earl believed the creatures could hear spoken conversations and that sealing the information in stone was the only way to pass it along without violating the silence he'd maintained for over four decades.Earl's journal covers 1972 through 1981. The critical entries describe two visits to a ravine roughly a quarter mile northeast of the cabin in the national forest.In fall 1972, Earl followed a track line into a narrow slot canyon and found three worn sleeping depressions, organized bone piles, and evidence of long-term habitation. In January 1973, he returned and discovered the beds had been recently used, with melted snow and shed hair. Deeper in the ravine, under a natural rock overhang, he found a curated collection of polished creek stones arranged by size, bundled stripped sticks, and mineral specimens including a standing quartz crystal point. Earl never returned and never told Vernon, Reba, or anyone. Following Earl's map on January 15, 2022, Garrett hikes to the ravine and confirms every detail. The beds are still in use with recently melted snow. The bone pile persists. The collection on the shelf has grown over fifty years to include more stones, sticks, and additional mineral specimens. On his way out, Garrett finds one of the creatures standing at the ravine entrance. It watches him approach from a hundred and fifty yards, and at twenty yards he stops. The creature shifts to the side, pressing against the rock wall to clear the passage. Garrett walks past at four feet, the closest encounter of the series, and exits the ravine. He connects the river stone left on the bluff sitting slab in 2016 to the collection, understanding it as a deliberate gift.Garrett sold the cabin in 2023 after Bowie's death at age thirteen and moved to Asheville with Ruby.He sold to a young couple from Boone without disclosing what lives on the ridge.

Candice Lim, former host of Slate's ICYMI, former producer of NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour, and total pop colture savant, joins Nicole Barlow and Ryan Pak to talk about the soundtrack to the 2004 Adamson, Asbury, and Vernon directed film, Shrek 2. As with many blockbuster sequels, the Shrek 2 soundtrack is filled with expensive needle drops, covers of famous songs, and a new song that was nominated for the 2004 Best Original Song Oscar. That would be the Counting Crows' "Accidentally in Love", which would end up falling to Jorge Drexler's "Al Otro Lado del Rio" from The Motorcycle Diaries. For covers, you have Butterfly Boucher covering David Bowie's "Changes", Frou Frou covering Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero" and Pete Droge covering "Ever Fallen in Love" by the Buzzcocks. Tom Waits and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds also appear in the soundtrack with previously released songs, as do The Eels, who are the connective thread between the various Shrek soundtracks. Candice attributes the Shrek 2 soundtrack to filling in pop culture blind spots of her youth and joins the hosts in making predictions about the upcoming Shrek 5 sequel.

Grab a cold one and settle in, because this week's episode is a dizzying mix of temporal confusion and gritty New York City history.Before we get to our heavy-hitting guest, we open with Beans trying to figure out why Gaz showed up to the recording session exactly sixty minutes early—and completely stressed out.It turns out Gaz has been "bamboozled" by the Atlantic divide. While the UK is still cruising along on Summer Time, the US clocks have already jumped back. Gaz spent the morning convinced he'd missed his alarm, his breakfast, and potentially his entire life, only to realize he's just victims of the "Daylight Savings Gap." Beans, naturally, offers zero sympathy and instead spends ten minutes explaining how "The Sun doesn't care about your Google Calendar, mate."Once the temporal dust settles, the boys are joined by a true legend of the force: Retired Lt. Cmdr. Vernon J. Geberth. While many know him as the "Godfather of Homicide Investigation," today we're diving into his high-octane early years in the Narcotics Division.Vernon takes us back to a version of New York that feels like a fever dream—a time of open-air drug markets and "Wild West" policing. The highlights include:The Siege of Christopher Columbus High School: Vernon breaks down the massive operation to reclaim the Bronx school from the grip of local dealers. It wasn't just about arrests; it was about "cleaning house" so kids could actually walk to class without tripping over a crime scene.The "Swinging" Detective: In perhaps the most "Hollywood" moment in Tall Boy history, Vernon recounts a raid where the front door wasn't an option. He describes the adrenaline of swinging through a high-rise window on a rope to catch a dealer off guard. (Gaz asks the important questions here, specifically: "Did you feel like James Bond, or were you just worried about the rope snapping?")Street Lessons: From the psychology of a bust to the sheer grit required to work undercover in the 70s and 80s, Vernon provides a masterclass in old-school detective work.Buy a copy of Vernon's book here THE GODFATHER OF HOMICIDE: VERNON J.

What No. 17 Is Really Worth Two weeks from the NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions Podcast put real numbers and real names on pick No. 17. Trade charts help, but they are not law. The team that moves up usually pays around a 10 percent premium. Sometimes the mover wins. Often the mover does not. It comes down to the player. That was the headline takeaway. The Detroit Lions can trade up, trade back, or flip 17 for a player. History says the return swings with the evaluation, not the math. The NFL market at 17 has receipts to prove it. Receipts from Recent No. 17 Deals The last time the 17th pick moved, it cost real capital. Seventeen went for No. 23, No. 67, plus a third and a fourth in 2025. Minnesota moved up with Jacksonville to take Dallas Turner. The edge from Alabama has not matched that price. Jacksonville stayed at 23 and took Brian Thomas, a potential Pro Bowler. One of those future picks turned into safety Caleb Branch. The Lions were even tangentially involved in the chain before it moved again. In 2023, 17 and 120 were packaged to climb to 14. The 14th pick became Braxton Jones at tackle. Solid, but not elite. Staying at 17 yielded Christian Gonzales at corner. The 120th pick spun out and landed as Carter Warren. The side that moved back came out ahead on player value. In 2019, 17 became the centerpiece in a blockbuster. Picks 17 and 95, plus Kevin Zeitler and Jabrill Peppers, went from Cleveland to New York for Odell Beckham Jr. and Olivier Vernon. No. 17 turned into Dexter Lawrence. No. 95 became O'Shane Niese, a pass rusher with a brief cup of coffee. Beckham sparked a short window, but the bigger lesson sits up front: Lawrence is a cornerstone. Vernon offered a template for balancing a star rusher with a different stylistic bookend. What It Means for Detroit at 17 The math says expect a surcharge to go up. The tape says only pay it for a difference maker. Trading back from 17 can win if the board lines up and the player at 23 is better than the one at 14. The episode also hit fit. The Christian Gonzales discussion in Detroit underlined how passion and habits matter. If a prospect does not love football, he is off the board. That applies at corner, edge, and everywhere. On defense, the model opposite Aidan Hutchinson looks like Olivier Vernon next to Myles Garrett. A complementary rusher with power, variety, and enough standalone juice to punish single blocks. Detroit's safety room is solid, so a veteran like Jabrill Peppers is not a priority. Use No. 17 to secure the right player, or use it as currency. The NFL has shown the price. The Detroit Lions must decide if the player is worth it. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nfldraft #17thpick #10%moveuptax #dallasturner #brianthomas #braxtonjones #christiangonzales #carterwarren #odellbeckhamjr. #oliviervernon #dexterlawrence #jabrillpeppers #mylesgarrett #aidanhutchinson Learn more about your ad choices.

This is part seven of a ten-part series from Garrett, a residential contractor on a remote forty-seven-acre property in the southern Appalachians of western North Carolina.In late April 2018, an elderly woman named Opal crosses Bishop Creek and arrives at Garrett's cabin. She and her late husband Vernon lived on twenty acres across the creek for fifty-one years.Vernon spent thirty years with the Forest Service and documented the creatures along the Bishop Creek corridor from 1963 until shortly before his death in 2004. He and Earl were friends who compared notes for years.Opal shares her own mimicry encounter from October 1974. Alone with her two young sons while Vernon was away, she heard his voice calling from the tree line, then heard her own voice calling the boys' names from the opposite direction. Her six-year-old grabbed her hand and broke the spell.Vernon and Earl later concluded the mimicry was a standardized assessment the creatures ran on every new resident of the corridor. Earl got his in 1971. Garrett got his in 2015. Same test. Same playbook. Fifty years apart.She recounts Vernon's close encounter from February 1976, when he surprised one of the creatures drinking from Bishop Creek at twenty feet. It stood to over eight feet, screamed at a volume that shook snow from the branches, then snapped an eight-inch hemlock clean through at chest height.The broken tree fell across the trail between them. Vernon ran. The creature watched him go.Opal gives Garrett seven boxes of Vernon's field records spanning 1963 to 2003, including an annotated USGS topo map showing the full four-mile creek corridor, knock zones, structure sites, den areas, and a four-thousand-acre circuit the creatures orbit seasonally. Vernon's notes document a juvenile sighting in 1991 and conclude with a final entry expressing his belief that the creatures assess humans individually and choose restraint based on decades of observation.Opal explains that Earl kept silent because he believed the creatures listened to conversations and that talking about them openly would break the arrangement. She warns that the generational credit from Earl's silence is running out as newer individuals write their own terms. After Opal moves to Morganton in June, Garrett finds her abandoned property still being visited — worn trails, folded chicken wire, removed tomato plants, and handprints on the window ledge. The series continues with Story Eight, in which Garrett and Cliff deliberately try to make contact from the ridge.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods?

Jackie Vernon Thompson, expert on courtesy, shares very personally how releasing forgiveness toward her absent father launched her into her career in etiquette training--truly from the inside out. Leah asks pesky questions about manners--like at fundraisers, on airplanes, and when meeting new people.Additional resources:From the Inside Out School of Etiquette https://fromtheinsideoutsoe.com/www.jointhepolishedsociety.com https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/local-woman-aims-to-restore-the-art-of-etiquette-one-student-at-a-time/2968090/https://www.huffpost.com/entry/rudest-things-host-overnight-guests_l_6422537ce4b04efaae785b97

When you design with intention and lead with purpose, you build something worth remembering. My three guests joining me today, Robbie Roberts, Dianne Gordon, and Blossom Vernon, are true business architects who build for any market. Their advice moves beyond surface level strategies and into what actually creates a sustainable business.   Meet the Leaders Blossom described real estate as a calling shaped by her early exposure to construction and family influence.  Robbie's path began after being recruited during her own home sale, where mentorship and professionalism stood out.  Diane entered from construction and leaned into operations, building success by supporting others.   Leadership Gets Tested When It's Hard Diane walked into the 2008 market and realized she did not fully understand sales. Instead of pretending, she listened and focused on helping agents navigate the business side during difficult times. Robbie shared the challenge of watching agents leave and learning not to take it personally.  Blossom spoke about the emotional weight of leadership and how those moments built her discipline and resilience.   Systems Create Consistency Success is not about motivation. It is about structure. Robbie emphasizes written goals and daily accountability.  Blossom's "Breakfast Club" tracks calls, wins, and progress each week.  Diane focuses on innovation, testing new ideas and adapting quickly when needed.   Culture and Purpose Culture is built daily. Robbie reinforces it through personal recognition. Blossom creates accountability while celebrating wins. Diane provides structure while giving agents room to grow. Blossom said it best. Everything starts with understanding the why. When you know the why, decisions, systems, and conversations become clear.   The Legacy Diane leads with fairness and growth. Robbie leads with care and accessibility. Blossom leads with structure and purpose. Because in the end, people remember how you made them feel and how you helped them grow.   Favorite Quotes / Principles Blossom Vernon: "If a day goes by and I have not learned something new, it's a day wasted." Her focus is continuous learning and growth every single day. Diane Gordonn: She likes to follow the Rotary Four-Way Test: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned? Bonus: Will it be fun? She uses this as a decision-making framework in leadership and life. Robbie Roberts: "If you carry old bricks, you keep building the same house." A reminder to embrace change and not stay stuck in old habits.   When you help another woman rise, we all shine. And that's how we make an impact. So, let's build each other up and shine brighter than the sun.

What if one of the most interesting startups in New York is being built quietly in a barn in Vernon? In this episode of Rust Belt Startup, I sit down with Justin Call, founder and CEO of Modovolo, a company designing a new kind of drone — and doing it far from the typical startup scene. Instead of chasing hype or venture capital headlines, Justin and his team have been focused on something much harder: patiently building a real company, solving real problems, and learning what it takes to bring a complex idea to life. In our conversation, Justin shares the story behind Modovolo — how the company got started, why they chose a very different approach to designing drones, and what it's like to build a startup in a small community in Upstate New York. We also talk about some of the lessons entrepreneurs can take from his journey, including: • Why staying focused matters more than trying to grow too fast • What it's really like to build a product that has to work in the real world • The importance of patience when you're building something new • Why great companies can be built outside Silicon Valley • And how small teams can quietly do big things This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at how startups actually get built — not just the highlight reel. If you're interested in entrepreneurship, building things from scratch, or the future of innovation in places like Upstate New York, this conversation is for you.
