The ZM Podcast Network. And party, and bullshit. Okay, I pull up, hop out at the after party. Hi everybody, welcome to the Brinklin after party. I do love a party, I do. It's me, Rita Ora, I'm back. I'm back, bitches. I'm back, I'm at a party. You got your confidence back up after they surprised you were there.

Yeah, I like to party and bullshit and party and bullshit. Have you watched the tour of Rita Ora's house on YouTube? No. She's in our AD Architecture Digest and she takes me all through her London house. Her house in London is incredible. I bet. Her gardens. She's in central London and she has such a big house and such a big garden and nobody has any space in central London.

Jealous. Yeah. One of my friends I just saw, one of my protégés, remember I said I was catching up with her on the long weekend, who I trained in radio years and years ago. I saw her on her socials because she works in that kind of stuff where she interviews musicians she just did a workout with rita aura yeah i was like how was this bloody organized were you like

can i be your protege i was like can you teach me how did i how do you have you leaps with me the master has become the student would you do do a workout with Rita Ora if we organised it? Absolutely not. No, I didn't think so. I don't want to embarrass myself. Yeah. I'm just not someone who looks good in tights, like Lululemon tights.

I don't really want to be. No, they're not comfy. I was at the gym today. Are you joking? Of course they're comfortable. My ass just doesn't sit high enough to look good. When did the tipping point happen where women specifically didn't get to wear shorts to the gym anymore? They had to wear full butt-hugging tights.

Oh, see, I wear shorts. Whether it's shorts or the leggings. But yeah, more common for leggings. You know what I'm saying? I'm not saying that's the hard and fast rule. It's just every female at the gym that I go to, it's the super tight gym sharks, the butt cheek hugging Lulu Lemons. Well, you don't get as much sweat on you when you've got more of your bodies covered.

Yeah. Are you still working out in shorts, Ella? Well, yeah. How's your gym membership going? Canceled it. Thank you very much. Yeah, smart girl. I'm wasting way too much money. You paid your way out of it, eh? Canceled it. Thank you very much. Yeah, smart girl. Wasting way too much money.

You paid your way out of it, eh? Yeah, 300 bucks. Read your contract, people. Yikes. Sucks. No, that's pretty typical for a gym contract. Yeah. Whoops.

You signed up for 12 months. How long did you last? Six? Six months? That's not bad. November last year. And how many times did you go? Five times.

You went five times. That is so bad. November last year. And how many times did you go? Five times. You went five times. That is so relatable. I have done that. I just got too anxious about it. I mean, I've done it too. To be honest, the typical gym, I've had heaps of those kind of gym memberships. I never went. The only thing that I ever, like, stuck to was F45.

Wow. Yes, a group class. Because it was more personable and. No, Ella, they had group classes at the gym you were at. It just feels like a big machine though, those real big gyms to me. Whereas I think the F45 because it's so small, I felt more pressure because you get to know every person there. That's the CrossFit model. That's how they get you. Yeah, and I quite liked it because, you know,

to be honest, why I signed up for F45, this is not an ad for F45, but the reason why I signed up for it was because it had 45 in the title and I was like, sweet, 45 minutes, I can do that. Less than an hour. Yeah. Shut up. That's what got me. 45 minutes.

That makes so much sense. What does the F stand for? Fitness. Fitness. Fit. Fit 45. Fast makes so much sense. What does the F stand for? Fitness. Fitness. Fit. Fit 45. Fast 45. Fabulous.

Love it. Yeah, I think it is actually ambiguous. I think you can make it stand for whatever you want. Fucking 45 minutes is worth it. Fuck me up 45. Mark Wahlberg owns it. Does he? Why?

He's a big investor. Yeah. He got in late though. Mark Wahlberg Yeah And also I've seen his Instagram videos He

Oh Ella's googling Who Mark Wahlberg is Oh no Mark Wahlberg Has a gym in his house So He does He's not even going to F45

Yeah but you don't get the environment Like F45 provides Yeah Yeah F45 Solid He's working out too much. You know what makes me feel uncomfortable is when I wake up

on a weekend and I turn the TV on. And here's a bloody gym class on the TV. I don't want to look at this shit. I already feel bad enough. Wait, are you watching terrestrial TV? What? Like normal TV? You're not streaming, you're watching like TV TV. Yeah, I? I already feel bad enough. Wait, are you watching terrestrial TV? What?

Like normal TV? You're not streaming. You're watching like TV TV. Yeah, I love a bit of normal TV. Yeah, actually, can you stop normal TV shaming, please? I can't stand it when people do this. I love normal TV. I love normal TV. I love normal TV.

I like to watch the news on normal TV. Yep. I really like normal TV. I just don't have normal TV. What? You don't have it? Oh, you're missing out. You can download the TVNZ app. Yeah,

but it feels like streaming. Not the same. Okay. No, I'm not shaming. I love TV TV, but I just didn't know people still had it. I thought it was like corded phones. Nah, I watch a lot of second normal TV. Dial-up. It low-gives. Don't call it dial-up. But I love it. Vintage

isn't. It's not fucking vintage. Shut up the fuck up. Watching TV is not vintage. No, no, you don't get it. I love it. It's just old. You're like, I love it Vintage is in It's not fucking vintage Shut up the fuck up Watching TV is not vintage No no you don't get it I love it It's just old You're like I love it for you It's just old Yeah it's really brave

That you're willing to talk about that When your internet goes down Jeez you are going in Sorry I haven't felt this awake in a week Clint and I will be sitting pretty When your internet goes down Don't come crawling to us

Don't come round to our house To watch NCIS It's okay I'll use the internet goes down. Don't come crawling to us. Don't come round to our house to watch NCIS. It's okay, I'll use the data on my phone. Don't come to our house to watch SVU, Special Victims Unit. Or SCI, the 23rd spin-off edition. SCI Kansas. Lucy made the observation the other day that the only TV shows that get played on TV,

as Claude would say, vintage TV, it's either Married at First Sight, MasterChef, or some police drama. Oh, Police 10-7, love it. No, no, I'm talking the NCIS, the CSI, the SVU, all of those shows. Yeah, I can see that.

And someone explained it to me because TV viewership has changed so much the way people watch TV. If you're going to put a show on TV, it has to be one that you can pick up from that episode. It needs to be a self-contained show. It needs to be a self-contained episode. That's true. It can't be something where if you haven't seen the first four episodes of that season it doesn't make sense

to you. It has to be self-contained in one episode. That's why those crime shows are so good because that's what they are. They're like a little mini movie. And that's why The Simpsons is so good. That's why Friends is so good. None of the episodes relate to each other. Yeah, I mean Law and Order SVU is one of my favourite shows of all time. I even have a dance to the theme song. Do you? Can you do it right now?

Yeah. Oh, this is so bad. Usually I'll be laying. You didn't expect me to have the music right here, did you? Okay, okay, you ready? So play it again. My partner thinks I'm so weird because I do this. Okay, here it comes.

Three, two, one. Oh, my God. And then usually I'll switch. Okay, and leg is up. And the head is waving. The arm is now up. Looking like this. And then once it gets down into the nitty gritty of it,

there's more moves that I add in. She's very couch friendly, isn't it? And then it usually goes like this. Ooh, swaying. You used the term dance generously there. Oh, what is that? She's still swaying. Like that.

Yeah. This is very interpreter, isn't it? Yeah. But then there's more parts that slap in the actual TV show, and it kind of is more interpretive, yeah. The transitions. Good song, though. Well, anyway, final four of MasterChef.

I've got to get out of here and watch it on my vintage TV. I have to wind the TV up to make it go and that takes me 15 minutes. Mine has a propeller that I kind of spin and it kind of gets the motor going off it. And then I have to be like, hey mum! Get off the bloody

home phone! I'm watching the TV! See you guys. Enjoy the podcast. I haven't done that dance in a while. It feels good to get it back out, you know?
