Summary

It’s episode 9! Bloody hell, doesn’t time fly? This week we have a little chat on the announcement of Ali Oetjen as Australia’s newest Bachelorette and our… mixed feelings about it. Also, the problematic wellness influencer who says she treated her precancerous cells naturally, and the glittery phenomenon that is dubbed “the party of the year”, the MET gala. UPDATE: After recording this episode we also received a statement from Dr Brad McKay, a family doctor from East Sydney Doctors, about Sarah Stevenson's claims. He told us: "Promoting a healthy lifestyle is admirable, but believing you’ve healed your cervical dysplasia “naturally” is not grounded in reality... "Your immune system is extremely complex and you really don’t have much control over it. It’s narcissistic to believe that you can heal your cervix with positive thoughts and green smoothies... Declaring that you’ve healed your cervix “naturally” is not only ignorant, but it’s also insulting to those people who have been diagnosed with cervical dysplasia or cervical cancer. It implies that if you require treatment you haven’t prayed hard enough, haven’t thought positively enough, or haven’t eaten the right nutritional supplement. Sometimes bad things happen and it’s not helpful or accurate to play a blame game... "I’m glad to hear that her high grade cervical lesion is now a low grade lesion, but it’s dangerous to recommend others follow a “CIN3 routine” based on her anecdotal experience."

0:00.0	Guys it's that time of year when lots of people jet off to have their Euro summer so we thought it would be a nice time to reflect on our own travels.
0:07.6	Yeah, Mitch, we love a little trip down memory lane. One of my favorite holidays of all time was my Europe trip last year. I know you're the same last year. I actually flew to Italy and
0:16.8	drove to the countryside to catch up with a whole group of friends. It was like the perfect mix of a social
0:22.2	trip that was also relaxing.
0:23.7	Yeah, that's absolutely the goal for any trip of mine.
0:26.4	I hate coming back from a holiday and feeling like I need a second holiday to recover.
0:31.1	So give us all the details, Zazzie. What made this stay so special?
0:34.7	Oh it was Aracom for sure. I actually made a great Tik-Tok about it.
0:37.6	If that makes say so myself, I don't make very good Tik-Tok.
0:39.9	Hey! But this one was good. We stayed in the countryside as I said and being a group we wanted a place that gave us a heap of space but also a bit of privacy as well. So Airbnb provided us with exactly that.
0:51.3	Yeah, that's exactly why I love Airbnb too.
0:53.9	They're awesome because you have your own space
0:55.9	in your own room, but feel really close to your friends and family
0:58.9	if you're going on a group trip,
1:00.1	and the point is to spend time together.
1:01.9	Yeah, 100%. We were able to hang out just with our group of friends.
1:05.0	We had some iconic dinners on our outdoor table as a group looking over the countryside as well as
1:09.5	some mid-afternoon apparel.
1:10.7	Beside one of the more picturesque pools you've ever seen, I am not sure I will ever have a holiday that could get.
1:15.3	With trips like that in mind, Airbnb has you covered. Plus the reviews and ratings help you find
1:21.5	exactly what you're looking for with confidence.
1:23.9	Thank you so much to Airbnb for making this episode of shameless possible.
