[#26] Grace Reacts to Her First TV Appearance | The Pokes & Jokes Podcast

In this episode of Pokes & Jokes, Grace and Jen do something a little different — they sit down and watch the very first episode of Beyond Beauty with Grace Neutral, the Vice series Grace filmed back in 2016. What follows is a brutally honest, funny, and occasionally painful reaction as Grace watches herself on screen for the first time in years. From tiny top lips and questionable fashion choices to filming in South Korea while violently ill with food poisoning, nothing is off limits. The episode turns into a proper chat about beauty standards, cosmetic surgery, tattoo culture, Vice-era TV, being young on camera, and how much changes in ten years — both on screen and off. Cringe, nostalgia, laughs, and a few emotional moments. Strap in. 💍 This episode is sponsored by @regalrose — deadly detailed jewellery with a dark & dreamy twist.
