The Double Cleanse

James and Robert are back with another episode of The Double Cleanse, and this week they're tackling the MASSIVE question: Do influencers owe their followers anything?

After celebrating James's 11-year YouTube anniversary (still can't believe it!), the twins chat about their upcoming live shows in New York (April 28th) and LA (April 25th) – complete with meet and greet tickets and intimate seating... we're so excited!

The real talk starts when James and Robert address current influencer drama: an unnamed mega-influencer who received a DM from a follower asking them to share a GoFundMe after losing their job – and instead of ignoring it, the influencer went on TikTok to rant that the follower was lazy and should "just get another job." The twins are absolutely furious about this.

We're breaking down why influencers DO owe their followers basic respect and kindness - especially when those followers are directly responsible for their wealth and platform. They dissect the argument that "content is the exchange" and compare it to terrible customer service: just because you got your order doesn't mean the server can be rude to you.

Most importantly, they emphasize that helping doesn't always mean money – it's about how you REACT when someone asks for help during a genuine crisis.

We're back with another episode of The Double Cleanse... and this time we're proving that great beauty doesn't have to break the bank with James and Robert's favourite budget-friendly products under £10!

Opening the show, the twins dive into an important PSA about a disturbing influencer trend: reusing the same fake before-and-after footage for multiple different products. James exposes how some influencers are using blurred filters and even faking acne to create dramatic, fake "transformations" – and people are falling for it in the comments!

From there, James & Robert get into the good stuff: their genuine budget beauty heroes that actually work. James champions a Vitamin C powerhouse that rivals luxury brands at a fraction of the price, while Robert raves about the perfect slugging alternative to Vaseline with actual skincare benefits.

The twins also share their top shopping hacks for finding drugstore deals. The message is clear: you don't need to spend a fortune to get great results – you just need to know where to look!

James and Robert are back with another episode of The Double Cleanse, and this week they're calling out the most annoying influencer trends taking over social media right now!

After opening with the twins realizing just how miserable and whiny they've become (choking on their own spit and complaining about aluminum foil – classic signs of getting old), they unleash their frustrations about the influencer behaviours that drive them absolutely insane.

James & Robert are tackling the rise of "expert" influencers who make blanket statements without proper credentials (looking at you: self-proclaimed dermatologists and "skin experts"), the annoying visual hooks where people wave products in and out of frame or overpour toner for engagement, and the exhausting double standards around "real skin" content.

The twins also discuss how some influencers are changing their dialect and speech patterns to mimic other creators and why making bold statements about products being universally bad is irresponsible.

The key message? Stop overpromising, stop pretending to be an expert when you're not, and for the love of god, stop wasting toner for a hook!

We're getting down and dirty in this new episode of The Double Cleanse as James and Robert ask: Does sex still sell in beauty advertising?

After opening with James confessing to scaring himself sleepless with alien abduction stories (ghosts and murderers are fine, but aliens? absolutely not), the real conversation kicks off when the twins tackle how beauty advertising has evolved from the sexy, provocative campaigns of the early 2000s to today's random celebrity endorsements and "fresh, natural" friend-group aesthetics. The twins aren't buying it.

James & Robert discuss how sex appeal in advertising has shifted from aspirational glamour to just... attractive people standing around looking relatable. They also question whether brands are using spokespeople who have any genuine connection to the products they're promoting.

The overall verdict? They miss the high-fashion, stylised advertising of the '90s and early 2000s (with modern diversity), and they're calling out brands that think slapping a random attractive person in front of a camera counts as compelling marketing.
