In short
The LuxGen Group Chat episode covers Drake’s “Iceman” album rollout via ice-themed stunts (iced front-row NBA seats, a 25-foot Toronto ice sculpture with the release date revealed after it was hacked through by a Twitch streamer). They also discuss Hailey Bieber’s viral Instagram story (“don’t need to apologize, therapy’s already paid for”) as a clapback to prior Selena/Hayley-era backlash, arguing Coachella love has flipped public opinion. They debate all-star reality TV drama (I’m a Celebrity All Stars), focusing on David Hay’s banter/bullying of Adam Thomas and Adam’s meltdown after a “get me out” moment. They discuss Harvard Business School inviting creators (Alex Earl, MrBeast, Gustav, Matilda Djerf) to modernize curriculum.

Transcript
Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:00Lola C.:This week on the LuxGen Group Chat we discussed Drake's viral marketing stunt. That's probably one of the coolest stunts an artist has done this year. How influencers have taken over Harvard Business School.
0:10Daisy M.:It's almost become one of those things that like once you reach that level or that platform of influencer, Harvard Business School is where you go to next, you've got to go do your talk.
0:18Lola C.:And finally, Hayley Bieber's latest bombshell.
0:21Daisy M.:Everyone's sharing so much love to Hayley Bieber now after like Coachella and like, weren't you guys all the same people who were like giving her hey? Also, stay tuned for some exciting news. But before that, hit the subscribe button.
0:32Lola C.:Right, LGs, I need to put you onto my latest beauty find. Have you seen Maybelline's new brow inserts? I feel like brows are one of those things that can completely change your face. When they're right, everything just looks so much better. But sometimes getting there can be a bit of a faff. So that's where these come in. They're designed to give you fuller, more defined brows without the effort. Think a triple tip pen that creates fine hair-like strokes paired with a tinted gel to add a soft, buildable volume and hold. It's all about enhancing what you already have in a really easy, natural looking way.
1:01Lola C.:You can keep the finish soft and natural for every day or build it up a bit if you want something a little bit more polished. The best part is how quick it is to do. Ideal if like me, you really don't have time every morning to do a full brow routine. Plus it's Maybelline. So of course they're affordable. So LGs, if you want an easy, low effort way to make your brows look better, the Maybelline brow inserts are definitely worth trying. Shop the podcast links below or pick up your own in your local drugstore. Anyway, let's get on with the podcast. Welcome back to the LuxGen Group Chat. Woo! I'm joined by Lola and Anna.
1:32Lola C.:Hi.
1:32Daisy M.:And I'm excited for a yap. Yeah, me too. I feel like I'm in need of a yap today. Me too.
1:37Lola C.:Lola, how's your head this morning?
1:40Anna J.:I was really hungover. Really?
1:42Daisy M.:Oh my God, yeah, of course you had that event last night.
1:44Anna J.:I don't really sleep if I... Well, me and India went to a Prada event last night, which is really cool. Apparently you bumped into Romeo Beckham. Romeo Beckham bumped into me. No. How did he bump into you? No, he literally walked past me and then went, oh, sorry. And he literally bumped me. That was it.
1:58Lola C.:It was like one second, but I'm going to play it up. Did you smell his aftershave?
2:04Anna J.:No, he smelled a Prada.
2:05Lola C.:Well, of course. He's got a new brand called Intra. Clothing brand. Yeah, and he's released these like England football kind of track jackets. A few people were wearing them to Glasto. They're hard though. They're cool.
2:19Anna J.:I don't think he was wearing that last night. No?
2:21Daisy M.:I was too scared to look at him once he bumped into me. I was like, oh, it's fine. I once saw him in Battersea Power Station cinema did you?
2:28Anna J.:I was like
2:28Lola C.:what are you going to go see?
2:29Daisy M.:I'm pretty sure he lives there
2:30Anna J.:I think he lives there I bet he lives on like the top floor penthouse so does Tom Holland and Zendaya apparently I also heard Harry Styles also lives there
2:37Lola C.:I think he has a place do you get some of those TikToks of like celeb houses and I like a 3D view
2:43Anna J.:of like
2:43Lola C.:4 million 3 million pounds you can find Tom Holland in Battersea Power Station yeah but it was a fun event was it?
2:52Anna J.:it was really fun yeah me and India and we're a bad duo to be together.
2:56Lola C.:Well, she's got this new TikTok series of like her like weekend partying.
3:00Anna J.:She's so funny. It's hilarious. Because she's actually quite like a reserved person, I'd say. Like, I feel like I tell everyone all my secrets, but India's quite like well kept. And then the weekend post and she's like - Beryl.
3:13Daisy M.:My favorite of hers was she brought like her like, I don't know, ready meal into her Uber. Yeah, it was a lasagna. Yeah.
3:19Lola C.:Literally straight out of the microwave into the Uber.
3:22Anna J.:I mean, her rating will have gone down. I wonder what hers is. It's gotta be bad. Oh my goodness.
3:27Lola C.:I'd kind of rate that the way, the sort of, the pace in which she sort of gets herself around London, like the amount of events she's able to tick off in a weekend.
3:34Anna J.:No one's more dedicated to a night out than that girl. So true. And I kind of like that. Like, I saw something actually recently that said, party girls are the OG networkers. Yeah. So true. Kind of true. So true. You meet so many people. Like, last night, there were a lot of girls there that we've only really met through, like parties and events and stuff like that and we would never speak to them if we didn't have those so true it was so fun you're always on job we were there till the end were you yeah we literally
4:02Lola C.:pretty much classic well we kind of just looked around and we're like it's really empty now

4:43Daisy M.:I mean I can vouch I saw the weather this morning and I was oh god it's going to be a chilly one I'm going to put a jacket on god was I wrong it's scorching out there I have on my Onyx Zuka Tigers. I love these trainers so much. I'm trying to show the camera. They're the most comfortable trainers ever. My trousers are ASOS. My jacket is Sisters and Seekers. My flannel, I think is very old H &M. My top is Zara. Glasses, these are reserved. And my rings are from a variety of places. Wow.
5:15Lola C.:What are you wearing, Days? I have got a Massimo suede brown jacket, Lola Nia. We always match it. And my trusty Coz trousers.
5:23Daisy M.:Love. So glasses.
5:25Lola C.:And glasses are H &M. H &M do the best glasses.
5:28Daisy M.:Best blue light glasses ever.
5:34Lola C.:We're gonna move into the hot list, but before we do, quick reminder to hit that subscribe button. Hit it. We're excited to bring you some exciting guests this summer. So drop that subscribe. Yeah.
5:44Anna J.:Support us. Do it now.
5:46Lola C.:Okay, first of all, who is watching I'm a Celebrity All Stars?
5:49Daisy M.:I've seen it all over my social media. I can't say I'm watching it, but I've seen it. I've seen the lore. I've seen what's going on. I feel like I just get fed it through TikTok, so I feel like I'm watching it.
5:57Lola C.:Have you seen Adam Thomas' Meltdown?
5:59Daisy M.:No.
6:00Lola C.:So, side note, I love the Thomas brothers. You know who I mean by... Yes. Like Scott. Exactly. I feel like their energy is just so infectious. They're huge on TikTok. They are. Their whole family. Yeah, they're so lovely. Anyway, David Hay, who's a boxer, who's been on I'm a Celeb before, obviously All Stars, they bring back the celebs. He basically, throughout the jungle, has just been, it started as banter to Adam Thomas, but you can tell it just, it kind of was like bullying. So it was going on and on. You could see Adam Thomas was like trying to bite his lip. He was almost laughing it off every time, but you could see if you're in like a confined environment like that, that's just gonna -
6:33Anna J.:So it's someone that you don't really know. Just gonna wear you down.
6:35Lola C.:Yeah. Anyway, there was then a challenge and a lot of actually got to the point where a lot of the other celebs were sticking up for Adam. They were like, David, leave him alone. Like you're pushed going too far. Scarlett Moffat was great. She kept being like - She is great. she kept being like give it a break like just leave him alone um and anyway then there was a challenge and they were all paired up and basically the last pair the pair to lose or something were going to be off the show and adam's pair decided it wasn't david hay it was another guy basically shouted i'm a celebrity get me out of here which then meant adam had to leave but he didn't even consult him he just shouted it couldn't be bothered to do the trial not david no someone else got you
7:11Anna J.:and that basically meant adam would have to leave i'm a celeb he then loses it because he's just like that's so selfish yeah and it's probably got to boiling point a bit because of all the
7:20Lola C.:all the comments yeah and yeah he just basically was crying it was so sad oh wait and what's he saying he's angry at who he's just he's angry at all of them i guess essentially for just you know pushing his buttons but anyway anton deck obviously managed to pr save it all and he's staying but that's good oh that is good yeah but it was just yeah it was just crazy it's like quite
7:42Anna J.:a lot of drama this year yeah I feel like if you're like I couldn't be that close-knit with people anyways that I love but like the idea of doing all those challenges being picked on and then your pairing blowing up and going I'm a celeb get me out of here you would lose it
7:57Daisy M.:also what are your thoughts on all these shows now having an all-stars I think I like it I do like you like it yeah I feel like I love it for like the vibe of it right that's all great I love I love the drama, I love getting involved. But at what point is like too much to consume of these people? Like it's crazy. I think it's different in I'm a Celeb
8:18Anna J.:because it's challenges that celebrities do anyways. Like in each, they're only celebrities. Love Island, they're not celebs before they go on. So seeing them again on Love Island, I feel like is a bit wrong.
8:30Lola C.:Because they've all dated and everything.
8:31Anna J.:You don't have that in I'm a Celeb. No, it's interesting.
8:33Lola C.:But they often have to be explosive to stay relevant. So they're often a bit more chaotic, aren't they?
8:39Anna J.:and I guess people probably have a bit of a game plan. Isn't the GC in it?
8:42Lola C.:Yeah, she is.
8:43Anna J.:Is she good?
8:43Lola C.:She's good, yeah. She's really sweet. She like confides in Adam and cries.
8:47Daisy M.:I saw something about Scarlett Moffat being able to have a disposable camera. Oh, really?
8:51Lola C.:Is that her?
8:52Daisy M.:And she got to like take photos and I feel like that's such a nice way to remember something like that. I would love that.
8:56Lola C.:Yeah, what would be your like one item? I think mine would be a compact mirror.
9:01Daisy M.:Really? Yeah. I always see you as your compact mirror. Because like imagine not being able to see yourself
9:04Lola C.:and knowing you're being broadcasted to the nation.
9:06Anna J.:Yeah, so true. I think mine's got to be like, can you have toothpaste just couldn't deal with it that's true actually that is
9:12Daisy M.:oh god what would mine be
9:13Anna J.:or deodorant deodorant but like a bit more fun than that I think maybe mine would be a disposable camera I could be entertained for hours I would be like a fidget spinner hello oh yeah fidget spinner a fidget spinner
9:29Lola C.:earplugs
9:30Daisy M.:oh yeah or ear surely you could make them with snake trigger snoring would drive me mad really you're anti-snore
9:36Anna J.:I don't really mind it
9:37Daisy M.:really I have actual misophonia. Do you know what misophonia is? It's like the annoyance by small sounds. I know obviously snoring can be quite a loud sound. I thought that was a name. Yeah. And I have it bad. Really? Yeah. Kicked my boyfriend out of bed this morning because he was breathing too heavily.
9:51Lola C.:Are you joking?
9:52Anna J.:Not really. So like when someone has a loud door? Or like, yeah.
9:55Daisy M.:Or anything. Like clicking a pen. It's the only thing I can hear.
9:59Anna J.:Is it the frequency? Yeah.
10:01Daisy M.:And it's just the only thing I can fixate on. It's kind of bad.
10:05Anna J.:Anyway, we'll sort that one out later. Oh my God. but I feel like you should not sit near me anyways. I'm always going. Guys, is Zoe Kravitz engaged?
10:14Lola C.:That rock.
10:16Anna J.:I think she is.
10:18Lola C.:I don't know. That could break my heart.
10:20Anna J.:I feel like it hasn't been that long. But it's on the left finger. But have we only seen that photo?
10:26Lola C.:Yeah.
10:28Anna J.:See, I don't trust it until I see a video. Yeah, true. She needs to post it on her Instagram. We could be pranked. Yeah, we could be. I don't trust anything anymore. I kind of think he would have done it really really well too yeah
10:40Daisy M.:he's a romantic soul Harry Styles
10:44Lola C.:I bet it was really private oh yeah 100 % I should get so cool when they it's everything's private
10:49Daisy M.:also they're such a cool pairing like I just think they don't really have to do much to be cool they just are cool exist yeah like let you breathe you're cool
10:58Anna J.:yeah but I kind of always wanted him with Olivia Teen really? that would be good I think about it all the time like I really like that All the time? All the time. Because didn't he jump really quickly from her to her?
11:11Daisy M.:Oh, I didn't know that.
11:12Anna J.:Yeah, I thought that was the whole thing. That's what she's singing about.
11:16Daisy M.:Really? She's singing about Harry Styles, guys.
11:19Anna J.:Whoa, I didn't know that. Yeah, they were like snogging in the back of concerts and then suddenly he's with Zoe. Fair. She's hot though. She is so hot. Yeah, they look great together.
11:29Lola C.:Lola, talk us through Drake's recent stunt.
11:31Anna J.:Guys, this is wild. It's taken over my whole TikTok. Mind you. so Drake's about to release his ninth album which is Iceman yeah ninth studio album and he's basically been like soft launching a few snippets of the songs and one got leaked recently and during he basically has slowly launched Iceman through putting everything in ice so it was first the basketball game yeah the NBA game that was cool explain for those listening who haven't seen it there's something to do with and i don't really know all the basketball beef but there is basketball beef with drake and the raptors i think might be his favorite team and he basically iced two seats front row on the basketball line so cool and everybody went crazy over it because it was like how he got permission to do that but so simple yeah so he does marketing so good yeah i want to know when he's doing this like is it in the middle of night like batman like i want to know drake like sneaking in yeah anyways biggest one is he's he's put in the middle of toronto 25 foot ice sculpture it's huge like and i'm talking huge and basically he said to everyone that his release date is in the middle of it yeah so people have been hacking away at this huge they've taken down
12:51Lola C.:like um sort of fire guns yeah yeah flame torches everything yeah apparently people in toronto are really pissed off yeah well the police have like been like this is out of hand yeah so now
13:01Anna J.:firefighters have got like their hot water spray like trying to get it to mel because it will probably take a few weeks yeah it's gonna take forever again how was that put in the middle of
13:11Daisy M.:toronto with no one knowing but you do know someone found that like what the release date is they managed to break through the sculpture yeah it was like a twitch streamer and he streamed the whole thing and apparently like aiden ross who's also a twitch streamer helped him out located it found and then he hopped in an uber with this like blue bag that had the release date yeah the car literally pulled up and he ran in it and then all of a sudden he turns up to drake's house opens it and then tells everyone on the stream what the release date is well that's gotta be staged i was gonna say that sounds do you think quite yeah i mean how are you getting drake zaddy first of all and apparently drake actually did pop his head out like you could see him there so
13:49Anna J.:like yeah maybe it was and it's a streamer so streamer that's a huge audience he's quite a small streamer though that's cool though that is really cool yeah also i feel like very smart to immediately get in a car because you you don't want to hang around with those people people
14:03Lola C.:would fight yeah fight for drake that's probably one of the coolest stunts yeah an artist has done
14:09Daisy M.:you don't see much stuff like that anymore i feel like it makes it cool and innovative yeah
14:14Anna J.:everyone's doing ai and so to see something like that that you know you see all those adverts where It's like in the middle of London there's a huge mascara bottle or something.
14:23Lola C.:But they're often, yeah, like you say, they're AI. AI. Guerrilla marketing.
14:25Anna J.:But to do like actual ice. Yeah. Only Drake do that. Only Drake. And it's coming out May 15th. I know, can't wait.
14:33Daisy M.:Can't wait, can't wait.
14:34Anna J.:I've been waiting for this. I need to see that man up there. Yeah. 100%.
14:38Daisy M.:I feel like he loves it. He does. He's such like a stage boy. Now it's going to be a Drake summer and a Bieber summer and an, I don't know, how do you mix those two artists together? It's the OGs about.
14:49Anna J.:The OGs are about. Imagine they're on a song together.
14:52Lola C.:I mean. No. Talking of Bieber, did you see Hailey's recent Instagram story? Explain.
14:57Daisy M.:Basically, she's posted something last night, hot off the news. She's basically posted, I think it was like a picture of her potatoes or something she was having for dinner.
15:04Lola C.:Potatoes? Yeah, that's past the point.
15:06Daisy M.:Anyway, she basically wrote, don't need to apologize, like therapy's already paid for. And everyone is basically thinking, well, everyone's showing so much love to Hailey now after Coachella and pushing Billie on stage to be one less lonely girl. Everyone's just obsessed with Hailey Bieber. Sort of almost forgetting, weren't you guys all the same people who were giving her hate, pinning her against Selena Gomez. And now all of a sudden everyone's obsessed with her again.
15:33Lola C.:Do you remember the era when they were pitting her and Selena and she had to say a couple of times,
15:38Daisy M.:like, guys, leave me alone. You have to just let me live my life. Like not doing anything wrong. Just talk about me to your friends. Like just do not. People really did hate her for a while. And now all of a sudden everyone's obsessed with her again and she's clocked it. And literally.
15:52Anna J.:Do you think that's what the story's about?
15:53Daisy M.:About 100%. I would think so, yeah.
15:55Anna J.:Because she is, I saw somebody say, I think it was Anastasia's vlog and she was like, you're the first lady of Coachella. Yeah, she is. She was. She is. But everyone's obsessed with her.
16:05Lola C.:There's that video of her literally jumping up and down when Billie was on stage. Girl's girl.
16:10Anna J.:She is. I also think that if Hayley went on stage, I feel like she probably thought there's ways that she could get hate. Yeah, so true.
16:18Lola C.:I just say also he did it for her at the wedding. Yeah, I agree. Do you know what I mean?
16:22Daisy M.:And that was private. And I feel like that sums them up perfectly that they don't have to sort of showcase that moment to the world. They can have that private. She can get it at home anytime.
16:30Lola C.:But while she put it on InstaStory, I rate it.
16:32Daisy M.:Yeah, but I feel like she has that side to her where like if she needs to say something, unclock it.
16:35Lola C.:Do you remember when she was on Alex Cooper's pod? Yeah. And she also made a statement on the podcast just like, let me live.
16:41Anna J.:Yeah, and she was like, we've spoken, we've talked. That's it, final.
16:45Lola C.:But she healed him. She healed that boy. He was so happy. I feel like people have kind of left
16:50Daisy M.:the Selena and Hayley stuff alone, right? Well, I feel like now since Coachella, everyone's sort of passed that everyone loves Hayley again.
16:57Lola C.:Because Justin's happy. I feel like the Bieber's are.
17:02Anna J.:Well, it's kind of a turnaround because we've been on the pub before and we worried about him at one point. We were like, is Babe okay? Yeah, I know. But talking about Drake and how much he gives to the fans,
17:13Lola C.:I feel like Justin is also the same. He posted something like, I can't remember how many times it was, but when he released Swag, it was some crazy thing. He posted 300 times on his Instagram. Really? To promote it because he just gives the fans such a keyboard warrior.
17:28Anna J.:Isn't he?
17:29Lola C.:That's what it is.
17:30Daisy M.:He's posted so many pictures from Coachella. But is he going to release tour dates this summer, guys?
17:34Anna J.:Well, I thought there's this whole thing that he's updated his Ticketmaster for house.
17:38Lola C.:So it's already, they built the website. It says 26-27 dates. Yeah.
17:42Anna J.:Daisy.
17:43Lola C.:Oh. You've got to fight that. We're just panicking that it could be this summer. Because we're not prepared.
17:47Daisy M.:Also, the word on the block is also he's going to do BST Hyde Park. Yeah, I know. I've scheduled those days.
17:52Anna J.:I've seen him there. Yeah, he was at 2017. Yeah. But guys, I'm on holiday then. I think he's kind of big time. So Justin, don't do it then. He's too big time for that, I think.
17:59Daisy M.:Yeah, I agree. And I don't feel like the set list is on like Justin Bieber par. I also think BST isn't as fun. It's bigger than Coachella. What? Which each day holds more people than one day does at Coachella. No way.
18:12Anna J.:All I know is that you can't get very close if you don't have good access. Really? Yeah, you're quite far back. I saw Adele there.
18:19Lola C.:It was the best thing ever. I love Adele. Oh, I would love to see her live. She's so good. Where's she? I miss her. Come back, Adele. Have you guys seen that Harvard Business School has been getting big time creators to talk?
18:32Daisy M.:Matilda Drift was just there. Yeah, I saw that. Alex Earl, Mr.
18:35Lola C.:Beast, Gustav.
18:36Daisy M.:It's almost become one of those things that like once you reach that level or that platform of influencer Harvard Business School is where you go to next.
18:43Lola C.:Like that's your right to go to your talk. But what are they doing there? So I think the whole narrative of go to university, a job will be waiting for you. That whole narrative has shifted so much since even when we, you know, we left university. You know, a lot of people advocate to not even go these days. Obviously, there are huge benefits to going to university, specifically if you're like a specific skill set like a doctor. but also I think universities need to get ahead of this curb and try and switch the narrative a little bit and I think by you know inviting these big creators who've built these incredible engaged audiences they can kind of maybe help shift the curriculum to make everything a little bit more
19:18Daisy M.:relevant yeah and what more of a notable skill to do that than Harvard business skill is smart
19:22Anna J.:yeah it is and think about how many dissertations now reference social media and big influences I would do mine on social if I had to I did mine on social yeah and that was like what four or five years ago yeah because it's like 90 of our day and it's interesting it's like you can and also
19:37Daisy M.:i think it's what a lot of people our age are interested in maybe they want to go into that or how it like benefits their life or how it adds to their life it's like yeah constant i think it's
19:45Lola C.:good like i studied marketing and i honestly the marketing sort of things i learned whether it was sort of these ancient graphs or yeah it's all textbook it's so textbook whereas now we need to
19:55Daisy M.:yeah and what textbook can keep up with stuff on like a day prior they can't textbooks are made like two years in advance or whatever but like back then that's all stuff that's irrelevant now so I really struggled in school too with like not being as like good at maths and not being as good
20:10Anna J.:at science and everything and my ego was really crushed like I was fully convinced like I'm gonna be like yeah really struggling when I'm older I've got no like passion and then I left school and I was always the one in school who was like on social media posting did you realize you could
20:29Lola C.:you could make that not at all yeah not at all I was just like always that friend that was making
20:33Anna J.:videos and was like taking everyone's pictures and I was like again like my tests would come back and I get like 20 % in something I'd be like I'm going nowhere in life left school and I was the first one to get a job yeah I was like like my whole world was completely changed I got so much more confident yeah I saw like the amount of job opportunities that you can do even slightly in social it's not even being a social media manager but like running it yeah just knowing the back
21:01Lola C.:end of it i was creative direction there's loads of different angles project management so many
21:06Anna J.:avenues like i was really like my ego sort of went up way more in like a nice way so i think it's good harvard are doing this because i think there are younger people now who need maybe that confidence yes that i never had yeah and also what better people to
21:21Daisy M.:talk about it than the ones who are the experts like you can't get someone in to talk about that Agreed.
21:26Lola C.:And they're, you know, they've hustled. They've earned it, they've worked for it. They've got, you know, they've got a set path and they've, you know, they've got experience.
21:34Anna J.:I was watching Alex's Coachella vlog too. And I was thinking about like, how she's got a videographer there. Every single thing she was doing was filmed. She was getting blackout drunk. And I was like, God, that's quite like a lot of your personal space though, like gone.
21:50Daisy M.:I'm like in the crowd with her at Coachella. Yeah.
21:53Anna J.:Yeah, and I also like the way that she's like, literally whips out TikToks. She's like, okay, we're going to do this now. Like, there are people who really smash it. Like, I'm obsessed with Isabel Lorna's TikToks. Yeah, she's brilliant. I think she smashes it in such a cool way.
22:06Lola C.:We saw her last night. We did. Yeah. I'm jealous.
22:10Anna J.:Love that. Madeleine Klein's been hard launched on TikTok by the TikToker, Henry, Henry, Henry, Henry. Henry? Henry, Henry, Henry.
22:18Lola C.:I haven't seen it. Oh my God, guys. They're perfect together.
22:21Anna J.:But she, in every video, she's properly like no makeup, really, really giggling. And he's very funny. Like you can tell that he's just like got all the way. Who is Henry, Henry, Henry, Henry? He's a TikToker that like, I've never seen him before, but I did a deep dive stalk the other day. And he sort of like does videos with his parents, but like also like just like chatty, funny vlogs. He's American, of course. But like, I kind of was like surprised that she would go for like a TikToker.
22:49Lola C.:and then I watched some of his videos I was like he is really funny yeah and like I think there was
22:56Anna J.:like a hard launch with their video of them ordering like frozen yogurt and she's just crying laughing like in the background and they're doing like the Zara Larsson dance together there's a video of her and his mom like painting on eggs every video she's just like honestly
23:14Daisy M.:creasing with laughter sweet and I feel like she is actually quite chronically online though like She was in the Alex Earl vlog. Yes. She's friends with like Stassi Baby, Kylie, all that sort of lot. So I feel like maybe she is like a secretly quite chronically online. So that doesn't surprise me. Yeah. She's like all of us. I know. She's just a girl.
23:30Anna J.:She's just a girl. And she was in Sabrina's house tour music video. Was she? That music video is mega. Like, oh my God. Have you watched it? No.
23:39Daisy M.:But it's just like her Coachella set took seven months to like design, come up with, execute. Like that girl pays attention.
23:46Anna J.:Also, a lot of people don't know that her sister is like one of her like set producers. Sabrina Carpenter. Yeah. Like she does all the logistics because it's basically her sister and Paloma, who's Sabrina's best friends who follow her everywhere. That's what you would want.
24:01Lola C.:You would just want your girl gang. All around you. And your fam just like on the journey. I'd love to just delegate one of my family.
24:07Daisy M.:Be like, right, you're my logistics guy. You're my social guy. Payroll, payroll, payroll. All of you. No, Paloma's spoken about it.
24:14Anna J.:She was like, quit my job to follow my best friend around the world. Yeah. Like, fuck yeah. Best believe if one of us, we're all going to be on payroll.
24:23Lola C.:India is going to have to do it and take us.
24:27Anna J.:So good. But I think it was kind of cute. And Madeline kind of looks so happy. She's kind of killing the game. She is.
24:34Daisy M.:Funny boyfriend, Alex L, house tour music video.

25:37Lola C.:to the list. I only did it
25:39Daisy M.:to watch Euphoria. I fear there needs
25:42Lola C.:to be one app. I fear someone needs to call. But that's why
25:44Anna J.:HBO and Sky have like mixed together. There's so many like I can't keep
25:49Lola C.:up. Then you've got Spotify. It's just like there's too much.
25:52Daisy M.:There's too much. It's a lot of subscriptions. I'm overwhelmed. But that is something I'm honestly I was loving. Still am loving and you guys need to watch. Sticking with TV.
26:02Lola C.:I know we've got the same one. What's it called?
26:05Anna J.:Keeping up with
26:05Daisy M.:the Furies.
26:06Anna J.:Keeping up with
26:07Lola C.:the furies is the best show ever a best show hands down best reality tv show out there so in a while
26:15Anna J.:yes because i basically i'm not gonna lie didn't really know much about the furies before don't care about boxing and i went to watch it and i was like oh is it just going to be sort of like an ego mania and like sure he's got an ego but like huge ego but like in a really like quite sweet way sometimes like he's very in touch with mental health yeah and he talks about it a lot Yeah, he's bipolar, isn't he? Yeah, he's got, and he's ADHD. Yeah, I think. And then he's got this family. Oh my God. Which, by the way, did you know Tyson Fury's male kids are all called Prince?
26:48Lola C.:So good. Unreal. Because you've got, you've got Venezuela, Athena, Prince. No, Venezuela.
26:54Anna J.:Venezuela, Prince. Valencia. No, Valencia. You've got Adonis.
26:59Lola C.:You've got Rico. Rico. Tutti. And Tutti. Get up, Tutti. Get up, Tutti.
27:04Anna J.:Daisy does such a good impersonation.
27:06Lola C.:It's hilarious. So get your school bag. It's just, it's one of the best shows I've seen in so long. It is, it is. But also, I think the most incredible character is Paris. Agreed.
27:16Daisy M.:She is Wonder Woman. She is a boss bitch.
27:18Anna J.:I hate her so badly. I think she came across so well. Listen, she's got the patience of a freaking saint.
27:25Daisy M.:It's crazy.
27:26Anna J.:But also, I saw her say something recently. I think it was on Great Company, about how a lot of the media about the traveler community is so skewed and incorrect that women don't have jobs, that they have to leave school. And she was like, I have a job. Yeah, I'm educated.
27:44Lola C.:Yeah, that was on great company. She also said, often the travelers and gypsies you've seen are the ones that have painted a bad rep for the community because she said it's actually the ones that you will walk past day to day and you will not realize. She said it's the ones that you probably notice are the ones that aren't painting it in a good light.
28:01Anna J.:Because I used to be obsessed with all those shows. Big Fat Gypsy Wedding. Oh my God, I used to love that. I was obsessed with them.
28:06Daisy M.:With the big cart they used to come at.
28:08Anna J.:Yeah, and watching them, I was like, do you know what? This is quite sweet. It's crazy. Actually, I don't want to spoil it for everyone, but some of the kids go through.
28:17Lola C.:The kids, they renewed their vows or they got married for a third time. And then the youngest girl, what's she called?
28:24Daisy M.:Valencia. Valencia. She sticks her middle finger up in the wedding photo.
28:27Lola C.:like she's literally yay high like she's so funny and then Paris goes don't do that you're no what did she say she goes you're a little girl don't do that it's iconic apparently she's so like
28:39Anna J.:we're the theories we can walk through yeah all the others aren't like like Venice no Venezuela yeah Venezuela comes off really quite shy and she's getting married I know 16 16 years old
28:50Lola C.:Imagine asking the Gypsy King to have your... It's on the show. Oh, it's such a good show. It really is. It's a great watch.
28:59Anna J.:I also think, like, I was talking to people and they were like, not really sure, like, don't know if I want to watch that. You'll watch it and you will giggle so much. You have to watch season one, though. 100%. Because you get to know him. But I think it's quite interesting, like, learning about his retirement, how he, like, suffers a little bit with his mental health.
29:19Lola C.:Yeah, and I think these like, you know, high profile boxers or whatever, any sportsman that has lived and breathed a sport, that's all they ever know. They're often probably taken out of school at an early age. They get injured. They don't know anything else. And their mental health can sometimes take such a crushing.
29:34Anna J.:And I feel like we never have the reality show during the aftermath. We always have it during. But like watching Tyson just have to be a dad. Yeah. Like so interesting. Paris, I love her. She's iconic. Jotty. Jotty.
29:49Lola C.:and like how the little girls have rollers in their hair and they're actually like four.
29:53Daisy M.:The glam.
29:54Lola C.:I wish to be that glam.
29:55Daisy M.:the little baby who has his dummy attached by a gold chain. Yes, Rico. Yes, Rico. Baby, baby, Rico.
30:03Anna J.:It's the Versace everywhere. Everywhere. The robes everywhere.
30:08Lola C.:Versace pajamas, Versace sandaliers. Wallpaper, everything.
30:10Anna J.:Did you see Paris' Chanel just get chucked about in the box? Yeah, oh my God. By John Fury.
30:16Lola C.:He dropped kicks in. That guy's a mad man. Yeah, he's a brilliant character in it as well. He is.
30:21Anna J.:And they sound identical. And Tommy Fury's in it. Yeah, Tommy Fury. It's quite nice to see him.
30:25Lola C.:Yeah.
30:25Anna J.:I also thought Molly probably can't be in it because she's a prime and this is Netflix. I was like, gal.
30:30Lola C.:She was in it though for season one. Any restaurants you guys are really keen to go to?
30:35Daisy M.:Wheezy's. Yes. Eccleston Yards. Yes. I want to go there so bad. Newly opened pizza place. It's like the new place on the block kind of vibe.
30:43Lola C.:But right next door to Ami Wine Bar. Yes, that's set up by the same founders.
30:46Daisy M.:Literally. so I'm thinking go there have a glass of wine go get a pizza vibe out and the vibe is really cool
30:52Lola C.:it's like um American sort of it's like rodeo American yeah it's so cool and I feel like I can
31:00Daisy M.:always tell a good place and maybe this is annoying of me to say but it's just me but their Instagram was really cool wheezy's and I feel like I just know the vibe already I know it's gonna slap and
31:09Lola C.:I really wanna try it so Abby the founder it was it was her grandmother who they called wheezy that's how they've set it up so it's like I think there's a photo of Wheezy with her little red glasses and they frame the glasses that's so cute isn't that lovely
31:22Anna J.:Ami Wine's the best wine out there they're red
31:25Lola C.:I know we're obviously in rosé season but they're red is not to be slept on it is so yeah if you like a sort of sweet red that's so good I've never had that they're rosé though yeah and it's also so aesthetic it is
31:36Daisy M.:what about you?
31:37Lola C.:yeah Loli you've been to a really good one recently have I? yeah
31:41Anna J.:guys Ruth's is the best restaurant I really think they've upped their game recently too. Like I went at the beginning, so I think it was like kind of like teething period. Now obsessed with it. You're booked in, right? Yeah, you've inspired me. Yeah, so many people are going there, so I think it is getting a bit chock-a-blocked. It's in Putney for those. Yeah, it's on Lower Richmond Road. Is it small plates? What's the vibe? It's kind of like sharing plates. I wouldn't say small, like they're quite big portions, but it's kind of like sort of like imagine Hero, the pelican sort of all of that mixed together but in a smaller little dainty little sweet and like putney along the river it's a nice that's what i would do i would go get lunch there sunday lunch because they do a special then i would go head down to the river get a couple of go to the crab tree exactly and just make a day out of it that's my summer sorted that they also gave me well they gave us a pig's head which they don't have on the menu but they kindly gave an actual A little pig's head.
32:40Anna J.:Like a pig's head. It was kind of intimidating because it had its teeth. Did you eat it? Yeah, obviously. What part of the head did you eat? Neck.
32:47Lola C.:Yeah, nice and crackling. So imagine that crackling.
32:50Anna J.:Oh, yeah, crispy. It was good. But everyone should go. I'm real. What about you? I've got one.
32:56Lola C.:It hasn't opened yet, but it is due to open in a couple of weeks. It's called Spruce. Oh, you spoke about it. Yeah, it's in southwest London. It's a wine, small plates and coffee set up by two guys like similar age to us. and they've released an Instagram page and they've seen they went down to Kempton Antiques Market to try and like kit it out and they're documenting it all so I'm really excited
33:16Daisy M.:I love that when people document the process of like starting, you don't know what you're doing you're like on the venture to making it great and then you finally get to go and experience and you've watched the whole journey I love things like that
33:27Anna J.:I think there's like a connection to it you sort of feel like
33:30Daisy M.:and it creates hype
33:33Lola C.:also random one
33:34Daisy M.:I just saw the egg sluts coming to Balham what?
33:36Lola C.:That's very on brand for Ballum I reckon. I agree. Ballum brunch spots are good. Have you ever been to what's the main one? Milk. Do you know what?
33:45Daisy M.:You think it's overrated?
33:46Lola C.:It's good. It's good, don't get me wrong. It's good. But when you see that queue and you're looking at like a 45 minute to an hour wait. I've never done that.
33:54Daisy M.:I feel like anyone living in South West London, that surely has to be in their starter pack. On a Saturday you're going there with your friends to milk the queue.
34:01Anna J.:Yeah, it's going to be on one of those. are so good.
34:04Daisy M.:Although I think on that same little street, Brickwood is better. Brickwood, there's a couple of chains there. There are, I know it's a chain, but it is really good.
34:10Lola C.:Do you know, and when I went to Sydney in January, Brickwood is huge out there. Yeah. And the coffee, since coming back from Sydney, I've become a bit of a coffee snob.
34:18Daisy M.:Yeah.
34:18Anna J.:Have you?
34:18Lola C.:Brickwood coffee is very good.
34:20Anna J.:They are an Aussie, like, raw. It's cool in there and they sell Tim Tams. Yeah, they do. We love a Tim Tam. We do. Niche, but I found this thing about penguin chocolate biscuits the other day. You know how they're a bit similar to Tim Tams? They can no longer now be classed as a chocolate biscuit because they don't have enough chocolate in them.
34:39Daisy M.:There's another biscuit like that. That almost has a... No, it's a Subway sandwich. It cannot be classified as a sandwich. Because of how much sugar is in their bread. It's a cake. It's the same as McDonald's. No, guys, that's so upsetting.
34:50Anna J.:I know. It's classed as a cake. Yeah, that's wild. Anyway, random.
34:54Lola C.:We'll do a bit of a quick fire. Fashion beauty. What are you loving?
34:57Anna J.:Bull and Bear is killing it at the moment. and I think it's one of the most affordable shops to kill it. So true. Sometimes I walk in Zara and I'm a bit overwhelmed with the same top but I got these amazing balloon pleated trousers and I was wearing them at work the other day and you were like, I love them. I am obsessed with them. I think they sit really nicely. They're quite low-waisted. I know M &S have quite a similar part. Also, M &S is killing it. Killing it. It's back in the game.
35:22Daisy M.:Just on Pullenberry as well. Also, the Stradivarius Burst. Their summer accessories is literally the place to be. if you've got a summer holiday planned, go there. And it's cool girl accessories. It's not like in your face, really colorful. I think of like stainless steel, mixed metal sort of vibes. Layered necklaces. It's not too micro trendy.
35:40Lola C.:No, it's so cool. So, so cool. Love that. One thing I'm loving is you touched, you're wearing a sisters and seekers jacket, but I've just got their striped hoodie and trackies. Cool. And they are the comfiest thing. So comfy, right? So comfy. I wore them to the airport when I went to Ibiza last week. Oh, I saw that. You look cool.
35:57Anna J.:They're just like a bit of a sort of throw it on, but kind of still feel pulled together. So true. And they're lightweight. They're good for spring. That's why a matching set is the best. It's kind of like a lazy girl hat.
36:07Lola C.:There's a lovely one in Zara I also took away last week. It's a gingham balloon pants and then like an off-the-shoulder top.
36:14Anna J.:Love. I saw, have you heard of the brand Sassy Squid? Yes. So I have a dress from there that I loved like all last summer. It's all linen, isn't it? Yeah, all linen and very like, quite like beautiful pieces. quite elegant and they had a pop-up recently but I saw a girl the other day on Instagram called I think her name's Georgia Nicholson really cool girl like you need to have her on your radar she wore the dress as a top so it was a pink sassy squid top and then brown trousers and then like kind of like run like pulled up a bit with like a gold belt it was such a nice way of wearing the dress and I looked at I was like I've never thought of that I love when you see something
36:54Daisy M.:and I'm like, God, I would have never thought of that until now.
36:56Anna J.:Yeah, because I'm like, I have that. And I can wear it. Yeah, I love that.
36:59Lola C.:So if you see me copy her outfit, just though,
37:02Anna J.:but she's really cool. She has the most amazing. I think I know who you mean. Have you seen her videos? Amazing sunglass glasses collection. I just followed her. I think I'm obsessed with her.
