What is the fit‑check trend and why are the hosts obsessed with it?
Well, good morning to Maniah Stewart and Tony Lyle. You've just introduced me to something this morning and it's probably, you know, I'm obviously I'm a massive influencer, love influencers. I
love
the influencer community. I'm behind them. I'm part of the community where they put something up and I like it and comment and say, you go, bro. Something else has come up now that I really want to get onto. I'm not sure if it's just come up. Wow. It's been around. It hasn't been in my realm. I haven't taken any notice of it. But now you've showed me,
I'm in. It's the fit check. The fit check. The humble fit check. It's an Instagram phenomenon all over the show where basically you just sort of showcase what you're wearing each day. If you've got maybe a mirror in your... Elevator, that's a great place as you're living in an apartment.
Who gives a fuck? Well, that's a great question. Oh, that's a great question. That's a great question. What it is though, Lane, is it's challenging the concept that content needs to be either educational or entertaining
or
good. Or good. Or that anyone needs to give a fuck for you to post it. Yeah, it's
super mindless just looking at a fella or lady sort of just showing you what they happen to be wearing that day. And you could get that same content by walking out on the street. And just looking at people.
And
just ogling people. But, you know, that's sort of frowned upon these days.
What I want to know is who's taking the photo. Like it... No, they do.
Often they'll do it, right? You
hold
it up and you
sort of, it's a selfie in a mirror. Well, this person wasn't even holding their phone. So I have to assume some sort of self-timer. Tripod
setup?
Tripod situation,
yeah. I would rather someone did a shit check on me and they took a photo of their shit each morning and showed me that because I would find that more entertaining and more educational sometimes. And, I have to say, more entertaining. Shit
check kind of works. If you go, hey, guys, I need a shit check, and you brown-eye
the
camera, and then you go, how was I? Was it clean? Do I need to go back to the toilet? And then the comments are like, back to the loo, brother, or good
to go. You're fit to
bounce. You're amazing, man. Clean as a whistle. Shit check. Shitspo. Good enough to eat off. Some shitspo, because... Sorry, we're veering close. I had to put a kibosh at the end of last week on chitchat on the pod after
the
High Rocks lady dominated four podcasts in a row, and we're veering dangerously close, so I'd just like to get us back on track.
Did Sydney Sweeney get a run last week? Oh, you better believe it,
brother.
You better believe it. How
are you, by the way? I know that Sydney Sweeney falls directly into your sort of imaginarium.
Have you slipped into her DMs and said, it's okay, babes, I'm with you?
Uh, no,
but... Your DMs must be a nightmare.
It
must just about bring the app to its knees. No, but I woke up in the morning, you know, you... Sorry, Tony, but you do your morning ablutions. Yes. And... Shit check. And then you shit check. You open up your phone and you check Instagram and you're like, you know, there's the little other. There's your DMs and then there's the other. There's people that you don't follow. Yes. Why have I got 12 messages in my other thing? And it's just the Sydney Sweeney thing over and over and over again. Evidently, I've... I don't
know. You've put it out
there to the universe and the universe is reciprocated in kind. People associate me with Sydney Sweeney. That's not a bad thing. And so whenever she put, oh, 100%. We're talking about on the breakfast show this morning and how easily your algorithm could be swayed. Mine used to just be NRL, yoppers, yoppers, yoppers, NBA, yoppers, yoppers, yoppers, NRL. And now I've got bushcraft as the latest one. Bushcraft?
No pun intended. What is that, like
manscaping? No, no, no. It's like outdoor – it's like those guys
that – Oh, yes.
You know, like who build an igloo in the Alaskan wilderness or –
Outdoor
boys. Yeah, outdoor boys.
The
alone Australia crowd. Yeah, that kind of stuff.
