What sparked the feud between Alex Cooper and Alix Earle?
The rest of this entertainment is presented by Octopus Energy. Admin tends to require a little bit of encouragement, so submitting your meter reading now earns you a spin and the prospect of being quietly rewarded for it.
Yeah, you spin, you can win OctoPoints, which you can spend in the Shoptopus. The Shoptopus. I mean, fair play.
Well, whoever refuses a wheel and the opportunity to get something for nothing.
But it's actually one of the mainstays of game shows, wheels, because it has a randomness to it. And I've spent weeks and weeks sitting just working on a wheel, just going, OK, that's an extra thousand. That would be 2,000. And then you work out how many bad squares there are. By the way, there's no bad squares on the octopus one. But it's a mesmerizing thing. It's so addictive. I know. Watching it. You want to keep doing it.
They slow it down slightly. And then when you watch the contestants leaning in like it's
going to make a difference and like lots of things with octopus energy they're very good at gamifying lots of the sort of just normal stuff that you have to do with your energy provider and getting a free spin and winning octopoints it's a very good example of that with octopus you submit your meter reading you get a spin and a chance at octopoints for money off your bill or to spend in the most aptly named shoptopus
Hello, and welcome to this episode of The Rest Is Entertainment with me, Marina Hyde.
And me, Richard Osman. Hello, everyone. Hi, Marina.
Hello, Richard. How are you?
I'm all right. How lovely to be back, as always.
It is lovely to be back. I have been in Paris, but I'm now returning.
Oh, my God.
For a few days, I've seen all the sights with my daughter.
You've seen all the sights?
I've seen all the sights.
Was it Eiffel Tower?
Yeah, yeah. Versailles, you know, all of the... Versailles, I don't know.
Eiffel Tower, I know.
Yeah, we went out to Versailles. She really wanted to go to Versailles. She wanted to see the Marie Antoinette's Hammo and it is amazing. I've actually never seen it in real life. You know, the place where she used to play at being a shepherdess and they built an entire little village for her around a sort of ornamental lake of quaint cottages.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, I'm telling you this is true. The Hammo. The Hammo, it's a hamlet. And she used to dye a sheep pink and play at being a shepherdess there when it just got too much being the richest woman in France.
I could see that your daughter would like that.
Yeah, it was very... Yeah, I can imagine Lauren Sanchez doing something similar, actually.
I've recommended it before, but The Parisian Agency, which is back on Netflix, remains the greatest property show in the history of television. Those sons, that family... Oh my goodness. Also, there's a very, very, very conspicuous hair transplant on this season of Parisian Agency. If you are involved in production in television at all, you can absolutely see when they film the various bits of that show by how the guy's hair is looking. Simply by the plugs? Simply by where it is. Anyway, that's by the by.
Today, we are talking about a big feud, Alex Cooper versus Alex Earle, who are sort of two leading lights in the digital economy. And we're going to talk about modern feuds.
We've had a lot of messages asking us about this feud. And I know very little about it. But fortunately, I'm sitting opposite someone who knows a bit more about it.
Oh, believe me, I've done my degree in it. We're also talking about Michael, the Michael Jackson... movie which is opens this week yeah it's gonna be enormous we talked about it before but now it's enormity is upon us we better have a curtain raiser to that and finally we're going to discuss some trash and treasure in this episode it's mainly trash isn't it mainly trash isn't it Binky Felstead, a sort of second tier Made in Chelsea star who has been dragged on social media for requesting. She's an influencer now and she's requested a free cake in order for collaboration, etc. And we're going to talk about the backlash against influencers that epitomizes.
