You might be listening to the Every day Roundup right here as a part of the Actuality. Steve Podcast, I’m your host actuality. Steve, thanks all for tuning in on this Tuesday. A great present for you at this time, and I’m lastly going to handle what a whole lot of you’ve emailed me about, and that’s the Nick and Natalie interview with Austin Kroll that occurred final week.
Should you’ve been on social media, whether or not it’s Instagram or TikTok, you’ve seen a ton of content material creators name them out for his or her habits and their interviewing of Austin Kroll, principally Natalie. Nick is an confederate on this, and I’ll offer you my ideas on it. Additionally, we’ve bought some information concerning Survivor 50 and Survivor Seasons one to 49.
We’ll talk about that. Additionally, I’ve one thing to learn regarding the merchants episodes one to a few, so there will probably be spoilers talked about. I didn’t convey this up yesterday. I didn’t even convey it up Friday, however I’ve seen this on social media since Friday. And it’s one thing that I didn’t choose up on within the first three episodes, and any person has a idea about one thing that probably might have occurred, and we’ll go over that as nicely.
So let’s get began. Loads of you’ve reached out to me since final week and have requested for my ideas on Nick and Natalie interviewing Austin Kroll from. Southern appeal. Like I don’t watch Southern appeal, however I’ve seen sufficient content material creators cowl this. I’ve since learn his story and I’m sort of caught up within the factor that’s upsetting most individuals.
So for those who don’t know, Austin Kroll went on. Nick and Natalie’s podcast, the AL Recordsdata final week, and about 10 minutes into the interview, I’m certain you’ve all seen the clip by now. Natalie simply does a 180 and goes fully off target and asks him about his sister. His sister that died when she was 9 years previous and he was seven.
And from every part I can collect, he witnessed it ’trigger she fell. And everybody, and this isn’t for earlier than anyone says, nicely Steve, in fact you hate Nick, so in fact you’re gonna get on him for this. And that’s not it in any respect. All it’s worthwhile to do is open up TikTok and Google, Nick and Natalie, Austin Kroll, and you will note how many individuals on-line are saying, you realize, to cancel the vial FOD Vial Recordsdata podcast.
And Nick and Natalie needs to be canceled. Look, I’m not calling for anyone to be canceled as a result of I don’t actually know the way that’s going to occur. Was it dealt with poorly? 1000%. I don’t know what the hell Natalie was pondering going into that line of questioning. 10 minutes into the interview you even noticed Austin and the way uncomfortable he bought.
He’s like, oh, we’re, we’re simply leaping proper into this, aren’t we? And she or he even admitted, I don’t learn about your sister, or, I didn’t notice this about your sister. It’s like, possibly it’s best to, he’s your fucking visitor. Anyway.
Each time one thing occurs with these two concerning a podcast, one thing they mentioned or one thing they did. I imply, you’ll be able to take their nick earlier than Natalie even entered the image. You recognize Nick’s interview with me. You recognize them calling out Blake Horseman for sharing texts. Him and Natalie do the identical actual factor once they had a difficulty with Katie Thurston, or him not doing any analysis on Gary Turner’s ex-wife and making an ill-advised remark about her dying or the mother shaming of Whitney Levitt, or now the motivation interview with Austin Kroll.
Like I might go on and on and on. You recognize this, these are simply 4 cases, 5 cases simply off the highest of my head and. Right here’s the primary challenge that I’ve with it. Was it a nasty look? Completely. Are they gonna get canceled due to it and the vial recordsdata is gonna go away as a podcast? No, it’s not gonna occur.
You could possibly complain to each single advertiser on their podcast. They’re not going anyplace, sadly. I’m not saying they need to lose their job. What I’m saying is I admire the content material creators calling him out. And calling her out the larger challenge. And each time I’ve talked about Nick on my podcast, I’ve all the time mentioned, look, he does what he does.
I simply let him do his factor and he continues to place his foot in his mouth. So so long as he’s gonna proceed to place his foot in his mouth, he reveals you who he’s. And Natalie, seemingly in current weeks. Has proven you who she is. Oh yeah. How can I even overlook one of many extra egregious tales they ever instructed the place Natalie was studying, any person who was sitting in entrance of her on a aircraft studying their textual content, complaining about how loud their daughter river was.
After which Nick saying, let River do no matter she needs simply to be mad at, and simply to piss off the particular person in entrance of them like that’s elitist fucking habits. And to assume and to inform that story. To the general public pondering it will get individuals on their aspect. I, it’s simply the shortage of self-awareness from these two is sort of thoughts blowing, contemplating how well-liked their podcast is.
You’ll be able to say what you need, you realize, I’m not a fan of this man, however I’m very nicely conscious. He’s bought an insanely well-liked podcast. We will sit right here and debate why he does, however he does. I can admit that it has nothing to do with any form of skilled jealousy that I’ve with Nick. I don’t. I don’t like Nick for the way in which he has handled me personally.
I’ll level out when he screws up on his podcast, however right here’s the largest factor and the largest challenge that I’ve with Nick for all these failures and all of the occasions that he has been referred to as out on my own, by different content material creators for issues that they’ve mentioned on their podcast. So far as I do know, not one time have him or his spouse ever come again on the podcast and mentioned, Hey guys, you realize what?
We overstepped our bounds there. You recognize what? We screwed up. We apologize. And that’s simply a lot extra to who they’re as individuals and podcast hosts than the screw up itself as a result of we’re all allowed to screw up. All people screws up. Granted, they in all probability screw up greater than most podcasters and put their foot of their mouth far more than different podcasters.
Hell, I simply gave you six cases. At first of this podcast till now of occasions the place they may simply have mentioned, dammit, you realize what that was, that was on us. Our unhealthy. We shouldn’t have mentioned that. We shouldn’t have achieved that. We apologize. However so far as I do know, these two have by no means, ever come out after the very fact.
Belief me, Nick and Natalie, as a lot as they declare or we don’t discuss these content material creators, they’re insignificant. As a lot as they are saying that they’re very nicely conscious of what’s being mentioned about them proper now, concerning the Austin Kroll interview, it’s in all places. There’s no approach these two don’t know what’s being mentioned about them, and that’s probably the most infuriating half as a result of it’s not that arduous to apologize.
It’s not that arduous to confess a mistake. It’s not that arduous to say, Hey, you realize what? Hell, even when they do it privately to Austin, I don’t assume they’d. You don’t should do it publicly as a result of they’re so ego pushed by doing it publicly now they’re drawing consideration to the truth that, oh my gosh, we had been insensitive throughout an interview.
And now extra individuals are gonna see it or ask, why did we apologize for one thing they won’t have seen within the first place? And that’s simply the unsuitable line of pondering, and that’s in all probability one among my largest points with them. Private stuff apart. I don’t like the way in which Nick has talked to me up to now. I’ve the proof of it nonetheless on my cellphone.
Yeah, it was years in the past, however any person treats you want shit years in the past, you’re gonna keep in mind it, and also you simply don’t wanna be in that particular person’s life in any respect. I’ve no purpose to speak to Nick. Nick has no purpose to speak to me, however I’m allowed to kind an opinion on the way in which I used to be handled by him. And I’m not even speaking concerning the interview I did with him.
I’m speaking about stuff that occurred between us personally throughout a textual content dialog on a few events. I simply don’t just like the man. Interval. Finish of story. I don’t like the way in which he talks to individuals. I don’t like the way in which he treats individuals. In order that’s one challenge. After which there’s this challenge the place we’ve talked about points which have come up.
The Blake Horseman stuff, the Gary Turner stuff, mother shaming of Whitney. Now this Austin interview them speaking about pissing any person off in entrance of them on a flight. I, I simply don’t perceive how they will’t come again after the very fact once they know individuals are speaking about this. And simply admit wrongdoing, admit you screwed up.
Admit you mentioned one thing that possibly you shouldn’t have mentioned. That’s all. That’s all anybody’s asking. And you realize what? They’re not gonna do it. This Austin story has been on the market for 4 or 5 days. I don’t know Nick’s podcast schedule, however I’m guessing they’ve launched a podcast since then, proper?
Did they tackle it? My guess could be no. And in the event that they don’t tackle it on their first podcast again from for the reason that one or first podcast that they’ve recorded for the reason that Austin interview, in the event that they haven’t addressed it, they’re by no means gonna tackle it. And I feel to me, that speaks volumes of the kind of people who they’re.
They assume they’re above you. They assume they’re above their viewers. They assume they’re above all of the content material creators simply due to. The contract that they’ve signed with Libson, the truth that they do get actually good company. They get massive names within the actuality TV and the superstar world. Yeah, they do.
However for some purpose that has inflated their mind to assume that they’re higher than anybody else who doesn’t interview these individuals. It’s clear as day hell. They’ve even mentioned it on podcasts. They’ve thought different content material creators are insignificant. I simply wanna level that out. Each single time they do one thing like this, they know they’re getting referred to as out by a bunch of individuals on-line, however contemplating these individuals of their thoughts are under them, they really feel like, nicely, if we tackle what individuals under us are saying about us, then we’re punching down.
No, no, no, no, no. These individuals are overtly, they’re not simply hating simply to hate. If any person is simply calling nicknames or Natalie names, that’s silly. That’s dumb. They’re giving a fact-based purpose about why they’re upset with one thing that you simply did. Criticism, not hate, criticism. They usually can’t cope with any form of criticism.
Simply come out and say, you realize what? Our Austin interview, we’ve seen what individuals have mentioned. We went again and watched it. And you realize what? Perhaps that wasn’t the way in which to go. Perhaps we should always have dealt with it a little bit bit in a different way. Perhaps we should always have waited until half-hour into the interview, 45 minutes into the interview, an hour in.
Perhaps we should always have given Austin a heads up earlier than the interview began that sooner or later we had been going to convey up the dying of his sister at 9 years previous. I don’t know. However something is best what they’re doing than what they’re doing now, which is seemingly ignoring it. However that is who they’re and let’s be completely sincere with one another proper now.
That interview was 5 days in the past on the time of this recording. No apology has occurred, so to me. Regardless that it’s getting main run now, and Natalie and Nick each know they’re being referred to as out for a way they handled Austen in that interview. Even an apology proper now by Natalie and or Nick, whether or not it’s publicly or on their Instagram, or they cowl it on their subsequent podcast, no matter, I’m sorry, means nothing, and it’s too late as a result of it’s been six days now since that podcast aired.
They know rattling nicely it’s on the market and what individuals are saying. And if it takes you six days to reply simply to say, you realize what? We screwed up, then to me, they’re not sorry. They’re sorry that they’re getting referred to as out. That’s what they’re sorry for. Select to take heed to them or not. However simply know who you’re coping with.
You’re coping with people who don’t assume they’ve ever achieved something unsuitable and. So far as I do know have by no means apologized for the issues that they’ve been referred to as out for on social media, and that’s simply unhappy.
