Australia Bans TikTok?! Angry Ginge’s I’m A Celeb Win & Is Lewis Hamilton The Next Bond…? | LuxeGen Podcast

0:00India:On this week's episode of the group chat, we discuss all things Australia, from I'm a Celeb to a new band on under-16s having social media. Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Twitter. I know, I don't really classify. Instagram, I also find wild. We run through the Golden Globe nominations. The only qualm I have with it, Emily Blunt should have been nominated for Best Female Actress. Do you think? She played such a good role. And we go through all of Christmas plans and whether we think Christmas dinner on pizza is legal or illegal. Everything on a pizza, that's just not needed. No, pizza's absolutely insane.

0:27India:Pizza, I think, is an atrocity. And the marinara sauce. So make sure you don't miss it because it's a good one. This week on the group chat, I'm joined by Lola and India ladies. Hello. Hi. Why are you giving festive? Do you think? Yeah, not me. No, but like the coziness. Okay, yeah, coziness, yes. Love. What are we wearing, ladies? You start. This jacket is from Urban Outfitters. It's from like, I think I got this in like second year of uni. It would have been£60, but I got it for£20. I remember, I remember the barbican. The barbican? The barbican. She remembers the barbican. You were very in for something you got so long ago as well.

1:00I know, yeah. And it's lasted quite a while. And then this is just a basic t-shirt from Topshop. I've got some new trousers from Minkadink. I love these trousers. I need to stand up for you guys to see, but genuinely, it shapes my legs so well. I love the bottom. It's like a perfect length. And I just pair them with some boots from Reserve. They're like cowboy boots. Oh, look at that ankle. And they're not too high. And they're not too high, as I was saying earlier. But they still make that clunk, clunk noise. You still can't believe you're in boots. I know.

1:25India:You clearly mean business today. She's a lady. And what are you wearing over there? I have gone quite festive today, I think. I've got a Sousa Moussa dress on, which is quite high neck, which I like, for this time of year. This is a, I think it's H &M burgundy jumper, burgundy M &S tights I got today with Saru. I was going to say, why did we have to get burgundy M &S tights? I was wearing black tights and they ripped, and actually it ended up being a better outfit with the burgundy. Yeah, I love it like this. Honestly, I've never felt more. I have nephews and nieces. I've never felt more like a mum than in that moment.

1:58Yeah.

1:58India:All right, then we've got to go to Eminence, get you some new time. Come on. Literally. And then she got picked at the burgundy ones. Yeah. No, these are great. Cool. It was fun. And then the burgundy Doc Martens, which I go to. They're the comfiest loafers I have, to be honest. The whole outfit's like so cohesive. It is. The tights of the loafers and this, they're all perfect. Thanks. Very nice. Do you know what? I've gone quite like kind of cool and casual today. So my new shoes, these are like shearling line loafers. These are from June, but just very wearable. Got some new Topshop jeans on, a good wide leg jean.

2:29India:We love a dark denim. Love that colour. And I've got a corduroy high neck Adidas track top, which is a bit different for me. I love it. This is our face. This is quite our... This is literally us. This is where we meet styles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love this. It's a very cosy piece. It's really nice. Yeah, you dress like Lola and I. Yeah, true, true. I travelled to Antigua on it and I felt really cool and everyone told me I was cool. I actually saw you post that and I thought that is really cool. Wow. If I'm cool in the eyes of you guys. We've got a cool auntie on the group. Oh, auntie, not mum anymore.

2:57Well, you do claim you're older than us all the time. Unc.

3:01India:Unc. Which, firstly, guys, we've all discovered us of that TikTok. Unc means uncle, not uncle. Yeah, we thought, no, it means unc. Wait, did you say uncle? Oh, yeah, sorry. Unc status means uncle status. Not uncle. Not like your uncle. No, but doesn't uncle status make sense? Because it means that you've reached peak maturity. It kind of both works. because really when you're saying uncle, it means they're uncle. Yeah, but I'm not cool enough to start going through the uncle means cool kind of thing. Yeah, no, I think we should keep it as uncle. Anyway, moving on. As we said earlier, we're all feeling a little festive.

3:35India:It's happening. How do we feel about everything under the sun being Christmas dinner flavored? Okay, so we've had Christmas sandwiches. There is Christmas, like Christmas dinner, not just Christmas, like Christmas dinner sandwiches. There are Christmas dinners in Yorkshire puddings at the German markets, okay? There is a Christmas dinner on a pizza at the German market. Hell no. There is Christmas dinner in a samosa. There's a lot going on. No, I draw the line at Yorkshire Pudding. Christmas dinner in a Yorkshire Pudding. I feel like that makes sense. I feel like that's the most adventurous. In a samosa, why do you have cranberry sauce, turkey, gravy?

4:09Yeah. Like, no. Do you know what? I'm not mad at it.

4:12India:With a bit of stuffing and then just the pastry. In theory, it's just like a little pocket of Christmas. In theory, it makes sense just in my mind because I can't even hack a Christmas sandwich. Yeah, yeah. I don't like a Christmas sandwich. I'm sure. I think they're cold and like kind of sad if they're not on Boxing Day. They're just like, oh. And there's too much kind of resource. Hear me out. I don't think Christmas dinner is as rated as like we like to convince ourselves because if it were, we'd have it at the pub pretty much every weekend. Well, it's just basically a Sunday rose. But it's not because the turkey is like such dry meat.

4:47India:Oh, disagree. That is whoever is cooking the turkey.

4:57I wasn't going to last year and the before we go to my grandma she has a big Christmas lunch and then we go to my mom's best friend's house we always has like a fat party love that it's like a huge catering, performance. When she goes to Ghana, I don't know her. I don't know myself.

5:15India:The TikToks are coming out. I don't know myself. She's up to the club. In her mini dress. On Christmas Day, back at 6 a.m. and then back to my grandma's. It's intense, but yeah, that's what I'm doing this Christmas. Do you cook anything or no? Do you contribute? I leave that to my dad. Because usually I'm hungover. The aunties do it best. Yeah. I leave it to them. I'm at home. London. Same old. Loads of family. Don't really go. Actually, we all go out on Christmas Eve to, like, all my friends and I all go to Spoons. Oh, nice. Luxurious. We go to this one pub in, like, a village, and then we go to Spoons afterwards.

5:51It hits midnight, and we're all like, woo! It's so wholesome, isn't it?

5:55India:Yeah. Because it's the only time everyone's home. Yeah. Like, everybody's back. So I feel like it's very wholesome.

6:04India:Okay, guys, the big news of the week. Angry Ginge won. I'm a celeb. How do we feel? So I didn't watch it, but I was happy for him. Because I saw all the take-offs of him and I thought he was great. And I'm really great. Honestly. I thought he played the game very well. Also, like, such a likeable... Oh, no, I don't even think he played a game. No, as in, like, the actual, like, show. Oh, sorry. As in, he was such a likeable character, got stuck in. Yeah. Made good telly. Whereas, like, before he's just streaming at home. Like, you don't really... Yeah, I don't think anyone ever saw him in that sort of light or has ever seen him like that before.

6:34No, he was actually so wholesome.

6:35India:Like, he's just a northern boy. And I said this before, guys, I think he got the mum vote. I think he won over the mums. Yeah, because I think there would have been like, what a nice boy kind of thing. Because he is a nice boy. I think he definitely has the young people on his side. 100. Maybe more than age? Do you think? Yeah. I think because he's so relevant now. Yeah. And then I think because he's so, like, he was really good friends with Ruby, wasn't he? But he just converged with everybody, like, really well. like no matter how old or young you were he was just so chatty but he was himself yeah yeah like the northern boys were northern boys he gives the energy that you'd take him home to meet your parents and he'd be really good but really naughty in school oh really yeah but i also feel like none of them were i feel like for them it was quite it must be weird because obviously they're on social media right like they're massive on social so they're obviously yes used to criticism but they didn't change their like personalities like that's good when it came to the cyclone which is like the big fun like water sport one at the end yeah they were all acting like kids but i loved it like they didn't care if anybody said oh they're being geeky or they were just themselves and i think that i think i'm a celebs kind of missed that for the last couple of years as well didn't they say that he won more like a larger share of votes than they've had in the last 10 years really yeah how cool is that that is cool i think they're pretty sick like given how many massive celebs are on it pretty cool but anyway speaking of australia have you guys heard that on the 10th of December, they are banning social media for everyone under the age of 16.

8:04India:In Australia? In Australia. Like, no kids are going to have any social media, which I think is absolutely insane. Any social media or just TikTok? No, so it's like all the relevant ones. So Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Twitter. I know. Instagram I also find wild because I feel like there's 13. No, I feel like Instagram is a bit, like, a bit crazy at the moment. Like, you can get some weird and offensive things on there. How do you implement that without a... Like, can't they get these... Yeah, I feel like they've acknowledged the fact that some... It's true. ...are going to find loopholes and some are going to be okay with it, but we're all going to, like, tackle it together.

8:37But that's better than hiding away from, like, the consequences.

8:40India:Exactly. He knows, or they know as a government that, like, it's not going to be easy. There's so many pros and cons to this. Like, obviously, they aren't seeing, like, harmful content. Is it? Yeah. But, like, there's such, like, a support system on social media that people have, like, learned, like, to overcome bullying and, like... But I do think that only kicks in when you're older. And I actually think, do you know what? When I think back to it, it's actually just giving them their childhood back and thinking, I think on social media, as we've said, you're constantly judged. You're constantly aware of your appearance and how you come across and this.

9:11India:And you become really self-critical, which as a 16-year-old isn't healthy. Like you should be playing like knock door on. Like you should be running about as high, playing Kirby, all that stuff. And it's like, that has been taken away from them a bit. Because I'd rather sit and scroll. I think to take something as strong as that away is too harsh. There could have been different rules, like how they got rid of no likes and all of that. They could have implemented a few more regulations. You can't regulate what people see, unfortunately. When we were 13, 14, 15, it was a lot lighter and very lighthearted.

9:44It was like a tumble, aesthetic. I don't know if it was. I think people had less awareness. Think about how much cancel culture came in to tell people that's wrong to post. But then compared to now, what we have on social media in 2020, compared to what we had in 2010 or 2015 even, it has jumped exponentially. So I think it's quite bad.

10:05India:Do you not think they should have banned Instagram and TikTok, but kept Snapchat? I think Snapchat would have been okay for people. I think adults worry more about Snapchat because they don't really use it. You know, they think it's more harmful because it's like... Well, they're sending. Yeah. But it's just like quick messages. So you can't ever really trace them. I think schools also worry about that. but to be honest we had the rule where you couldn't have social media until you were 13 that could still apply there but if i didn't have social media i would not be here right now like true yeah a job in social media because i knew what i was good at quite early on i just i don't think that's the worry i think if they want a career in social media i don't think being on socials will hinder them in that sense i honestly do think that it's doing more good than it is bad yeah and i think it's one of those things where it's like the short-term backlash and consequences of people missing it and stuff like that.

10:55India:They're only missing it because they had it. The next generation won't have it, so they won't miss it. They'll get that childhood back, I think. I think what's going to be hardest is taking it away from people that have had it. So obviously that will be hard for them, but once you get past that and then people haven't had it for a while, they're not really going to miss out because they can catch up on everything they missed when they're 16. I think you can get to that stage. Anyway, moving on. I don't know if you guys got the notification, but I don't know why I've got notifications on. I think I got an email.

11:21India:I think I got a massive email being like, Netflix has acquired Warner Bros. And we were like, oh my God. So obviously we were Googling it, but it turns out no one's bought it yet because Paramount have just put in a competing bid. Have you heard this? I've heard of this. I literally read it on BBC News today. Yeah, but this is mega because Warner Bros. owns so many things. They own Friends. They own so many of all the TV shows we grew up watching. All the programs. I'm pretty sure, is Harry Potter not Warner Bros.? I'm pretty sure it is. Yeah, yeah. So there's a lot there, right? and Netflix like I don't know that's kind of mega I feel like a lot of people are there have been a lot of like conversations about if Netflix buy Warner Bros the price of subscriptions are gonna go up what happens to the future of film like how I think it's sad yeah it's sad but I don't know like what is Netflix's plan in buying Warner Bros but that's the thing but I do feel like for Netflix I think if there's one thing we've learnt it has all been about turnover the film industry is dying yeah unfortunately and everything is going like Friends is on Netflix No one really goes to the cinema.

12:22India:You can just watch Netflix now. I do think that going to the cinema is a nice thing to do. It's educational. Go to your local cinema and support your local cinema. I do occasionally, once in a while, like going to the cinema. Guys, I love the cinema. I also do love Netflix. Yeah, there's nothing more than I love being sitting in my bed. I'm just interested to see what's going to happen. Guys, there's a Zootropolis too. Yes, I've seen this. It's actually been nominated for a Grand Oscar. Zootropolis was one of the best films I've ever watched. Have you watched it? No. It's so good. You need to watch it tonight.

12:52India:I haven't watched it. I know all the characters, but I haven't watched it. I didn't believe it. Watch it. It's so good. It's like comedic. What is it about? I can't ruin it for you. It's like the animal kingdom, but it's got normal, like a human plot line to it. It's really good. I know there's like a bunny that's like a police officer. Yeah, go watch it. Speaking of film, the Golden Globes nominations have come out. Oh my God. Insane. And I've seen some really good names in this list. I've seen Sinners has been nominated. It was nominated like so many times. Yeah, Michael B. Jordan got a nomination, I think, for Best Actor as well.

13:23And Ryan Coogler got nominated for Best Screenplay and Best Director as well. I also saw that Timothee Chalamet was nominated Best Male in a musical comedy for Marty Supreme. I haven't watched it. Has that come out yet? I don't. I think it's just premiered, but did you see Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet? In an orange, a magic. Oh my God, it looks insane. I loved it. I saw someone say that cringe is cool again. Yeah, that was the unk status. That was unk. That was unk. That was unk status. Talking about cringe is cool. He shaves his hair. They're wearing matching orange outfits. Chrome hearts.

14:00He's got a Chrome hearts side bag on. English cool. Obviously, they've done it all for Marty Supreme. But also, Kylie Jenner recently did that podcast with Khloe Kardashian. And she said she's never been happier in her life.

14:12India:The Rock has also been nominated for best male in The Smashing Machine. I need to watch that. Dwayne. Dwayne. My man Dwayne. I need to watch that, yeah. Do you know what? It was a really good film because it depicts a true story. But I'll be honest, it doesn't really go anywhere because it's a bit more docu-style. So it's not a massive plot, but it's really interesting. Nice. The only qualm I have with it, Emily Blunt should have been nominated for Best Female Actress. Do you think? She played such a good role. Like, so different. You would believe that that was her. Like, the way she embodied that kind of Sofia Vergara, kind of that really sassy, beautiful, oh my God, like 80s icon.

14:45India:I can't. But anyway. Guys, OVO and Marvel apparently have a collaboration coming out on the 12th. We don't know what this collaboration is. It could be an album. I don't know what it is. My life is just merch. It could be. When you say OVO, all I think is the merch. Remember the owl jumpers that we always have. The owl hoodie. Oh my God. The owl. But yeah, people think it's an album that is dedicated to X-Men, Iceman. You can't tell me that it's not so Drake-coded to have a superhero film about him, though. Imagine Drake being our next James Bond. This is him still trying to get us back on his side after Kendrick.

15:25India:Sorry, this is him. He thinks he can get the crowd with Marvel. Speaking of James Bond, sorry, apparently Callum Turner is the next front-runner for James Bond. Really? I see that. I love it. I think Callum Turner would be a great James Bond. And I'm so here for it. He's got the voice. He's got the... He's just caliber and effortlessly, ridiculously handsome. Yeah, deep dive on him and you'll see sort of the James Bond vibes. My only thing with Callum Turner, as you say, is the young thing. I do kind of like that James Bond has always been a bit older. So it's been a bit more transcendent through the gens.

16:04I wouldn't mind a bit of George Clooney. Wow. Older. Can't you imagine George Clooney as well? That would be great. I think he's older than Daniel Craig. He absolutely is. But he's American. Yeah, the accent. So it has to be an English. You don't think he can do an English accent? I think we just see him too American.

16:20India:Who would be your ideal? If you could pick anyone, dead or alive. Who would you have as your James Bond? If he could stay the same. I freaking love Daniel Craig. Just stay. No, that's a cop-out. That's a cop-out. I really like Aaron Taylor-Johnson too. That's a good show actually. He was also one of the front runners. So there was a lot of rumors going on about him. I'm going to go a bit rogue. And I'm going to say, like, if he was, like, really good at the acting thing, do you know what he'd be really? Because obviously James Bond has to be hot. Lewis Hamilton. Yeah. With a bit of acting school, my man could do that.

16:52I just could never move past him in the F1. Yeah. Yeah, but when you see him in a car,

16:58India:you'd be like, oh, my God. Like, he does thrive like that. And actually, that's half of it. Walking down the street, he looks so cool. He's got the swan for it. He actually did some acting the other day where he dressed up as a Lululemon employee. I saw that on TikTok. Was it Lily Lemon? I saw that. Yeah, it was Lily Lemon. And he basically, he's the ambassador. So there was a big photo of him and he was just welcoming, like welcoming in people. And he was like, hi guys. And people were like, just kind of confused because he like, was so confident. He was a great actor. He was so confident in the way that he was that people were like, but he wouldn't be here right now.

17:29Yeah. Like, what is he doing here? Well, there you go. Halfway there.
