1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: Sophie Tuba and I'm Amy Torber and coming up on

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: today's show, why Matt Zukowski savagely uninvited friends to his

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: upcoming wedding to Tammy Hembro, the Frozen Sandwich debate, dividing

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: the Internet, and our highs and lows of the week.

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: But first, fitness influencer and entrepreneur Steph Claire Smith has

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: been forced to defend her decision to blur her son's

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: face on social media. Yeah so. Over the weekend, Steph

10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: uploaded a video of her and her husband Josh Miller,

11
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: taking Harvey, who's three years old, to a monster truck show.

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: It was a really cute real but all I could

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: focus on was Harvey's pixelated face. It almost looked like

14
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: he was on the news and he'd been accused of

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: a crime or in witness protection because it switched between

16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: his whole face being pixelated or a large emoji. And

17
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: it was quite funny because at one moment and everything

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: disappeared and you could clearly see his face. I also

19
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: noticed the blur moved at one point to a man

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: who was sitting behind them. I was like, why is

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: going on here? And as somebody who does video editing,

22
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: it actually takes a lot of time to pixelate people's

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: faces because you have to keep moving where the pixelation goes. Yeah,

24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,639
Speaker 1: definitely makes it more complicated. Now, this is, of course,

25
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: off the back of Steph announcing last week that going forward,

26
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: she would no longer be sharing Harvey's face online, and

27
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: the decision was sparked by Harvey being recognized in the

28
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: street by strangers. So when he wasn't with Steph and Josh,

29
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: when he was in childcare or he was with his grandparents,

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: Rando's would come up to him and be like, hey, Harvey,

31
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: which would be so creepy. Well, last week we were

32
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: debating how Steph and Josh would navigate no longer including

33
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: Harvey and their vision. I just assumed that she was

34
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: going to keep him off socials altogether, but no, they've

35
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: decided to go with the pixelation, which has elicited a

36
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: huge response from Steph's followers, and I think it's partly

37
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: because it's one of the first times that we've seen

38
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: a local influencer conceal their child's face in this way. Now.

39
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: While some followers commended Steph's steps to protect her son's privacy,

40
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: the vast majority seemed very confused by this approach, particularly

41
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: those who had missed her updates about it. So one

42
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,839
Speaker 1: follower tagged her friends under the post and said, oh

43
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: my god, Nah, that's it. I'm done. Blurred face has

44
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: done it for me, whilst another said it's literally three

45
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: years too late. All you have to do is go

46
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: back through her page. Are the three thousand photos and

47
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: videos of him. People know who she is, they know

48
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: who he is. Blurring his face won't make a difference,

49
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: not now now. One of Steph's followers jumped to her

50
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: defense and wrote back, it's all about consent, right. You

51
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: may have said yes to it before, but you have

52
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: every right to change your mind and people should respect

53
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: that a yes before doesn't mean a yes every time.

54
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: And I tend to agree with this now. Steph was

55
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: really visibly upset and frustrated by the critic, and she

56
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: responded to the negativity by saying this.

57
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: It absolutely baffles me how people feel like they can

58
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: absolutely chime in to your life and your choices. I

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: understand that there's photos and stuff of him up there

60
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: from the past. Intention was not to erase him completely

61
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: from the Internet. It was to avoid putting up anything

62
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: from now as he's growing into as he looks like

63
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 2: a little boy. Whether or not you agree with what

64
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: we're doing that is totally up to you. But I'm

65
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: so sick of it. I'm so sick of people's judgment

66
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: on our decisions for our family. If it's not what

67
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: you would do, that's fine. I've been avoiding ping contact

68
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: of his face and that's been fine. That monster truck

69
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: video was really special to me. It was really fun

70
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: outing as a family. I really wanted to be able

71
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: to share it as like the cutest reactions from Harvey

72
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: and we had the best time. And so the way

73
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: I talk to sharing that was blurring out his face.

74
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: That might not make sense to a lot of you

75
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: who has seen his face on social media before, but

76
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: it's what we've decided to do. So maybe I'll just

77
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: go back to not putting him up much at all.

78
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: This is a really hard one because I can see

79
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: both sides. I think that parenting in this digital age,

80
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: particularly when you have a large following like Steph, would

81
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: be really tough to navigate, and I truly think that

82
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: people do have the right to change their mind and

83
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: put boundaries in place to protect their children. However, I

84
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: can see why this elicited such a big response because

85
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: it was really jarring and confusing to Steph's followers who

86
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: missed these original posts about it, and it just looked ridiculous.

87
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: But on Steph's comment about it was a really cute

88
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: video because of the way Harvey was reacting, we couldn't

89
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: see his reactions because his whole face was pixelated, And

90
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: that's the issue I think with this video is that

91
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: there was no point in sharing it because the Picks

92
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: took away from this fun family day. It was so distracting.

93
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: I think, moving forward, if they don't want to share

94
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,799
Speaker 1: Harvey online, which is one hundred percent fine, maybe choose

95
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: other content to share that doesn't involve him. The thing is,

96
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: because we've already had all of this access to his

97
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: life for three years. To someone who hasn't seen her updates,

98
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: they're sort of like, oh my god, what has happened

99
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: to him? Why is he suddenly being blurred like you're

100
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: just comical? Didn't Yeah, the thing that's concerning is that

101
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: if suddenly every child's face is pixelated and blurred, or

102
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: mummy bloggers suddenly cut children out of their content, where

103
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: are we seeing real life parenting play out? Because for me,

104
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,119
Speaker 1: I don't have children yet, but I think it's really

105
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: worthwhile to see the realities of parenting and hear about

106
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: what it's like instead of being fed the highlight reel

107
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: all o the time, I have to see their face constantly.

108
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: I mean, there's also the other debate about, I suppose

109
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: the safety of the children and how much information is

110
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: being shared about them online. I understand that you don't

111
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: want to totally eraise mother's and father's experiences, but is

112
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: it that necessary for us to see Harvey's reaction to

113
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: the monster trucks or could we just see that they're

114
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: on a family day out and here's the back of

115
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: his head, and Steph could explain what they'd gotten. Also,

116
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: because all we saw was her reaction, that's what yeah, yeah,

117
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: and that's what it seemed like she wanted to put

118
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: out there. I can also see why people are questioning

119
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: why she hasn't got rid of the other photos of

120
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: Harvey in her feed. I mean, I'm not suggesting that

121
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: she has to go back and delete three years of content,

122
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: but you might remove the stuff from this year because

123
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: she said, oh, he's growing into a young boy, his

124
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: features are becoming more recognizable. We'll then go back and

125
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: delete the recent photos of him. That would make a

126
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: lot more sense. But maybe it's just a decision they've

127
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: made from this point forward. We've both agreed as parents

128
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: that we're not going to share his face anymore. Obviously

129
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: he's going to change over the next couple of years.

130
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: But it seems to me that they've just gone from

131
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: now on, we're doing it. Do you know What's funny? Though,

132
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: no one's having a crack at and saying, oh, he

133
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: better go and delete all of the photos of Harvey,

134
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: Like I hope he's not going to be making Harvey

135
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: baby chinos and have Harvey's face blurred as he drinks there.

136
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: That's just the odd thing about it. I'm really interesting

137
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: to see how Steph navigates this. Now, will the blur continue?

138
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,679
Speaker 1: I don't think it will. Do you know what? Seeing

139
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: that blur actually reminded me of when I used to

140
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: work it today tonight, and I used to feel so

141
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: bad for the editors because, as I said, It's quite

142
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: a lengthy task to actually blur someone's face because you

143
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: have to keep moving the blur. And I remember there

144
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: was a story and this man's face had to be

145
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: blurred for legal reasons, and in one scene the editor

146
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: missed the blur. So this ten minute was like blur, blow, blur,

147
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: and then it just dropped off. Oh my god. I

148
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: do think it sends a strong message to her followers though,

149
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: because this has been covered in a lot of mainstream

150
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: media publications, that she's wanting to conceal his identity because

151
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: people have been coming up to him. Now, when people

152
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: see Steph, Josh and Harvey on the street, they know

153
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: not to come up and say hello.

154
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 3: It's pretty savage, like that's red hot from you.

155
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 4: It's a wedding.

156
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: Matt Szakowski says he was forced to uninvite guests from

157
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: his upcoming wedding to Tammy Hembro due to numbers being

158
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: too tight. Talking on his podcast alongside his co host

159
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: Anna mcavoyd, he revealed his mates were upset when he

160
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: cut their girlfriends from the list.

161
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: Are people asking for more plus ones?

162
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 4: Not really a couple? They know that the list is

163
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 4: really tight, Ye, Like I've leaned it up. I actually,

164
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 4: originally this sounds shit. Has invited a lot of my

165
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 4: mates girlfriends that I know and I've known for years.

166
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 4: And then I had to send him a message saying, hey,

167
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 4: I've had to lean up the list. They're not like

168
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 4: I have to uninvite, Like, sorry, dude, that's me. One

169
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 4: of my mates was pretty up mortified. Yeah, because but

170
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 4: we hadn't handed out the invitation yet.

171
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 3: Sorry, so you hadn't.

172
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 4: I'd asked for names and addresses, full names, spelling of theirs.

173
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 3: If they're and they just assumed their partners have been back.

174
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

175
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 3: So one of my mates is pretty savage, like, that's

176
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 3: red hot from me. It's wedding, It's the wedding of

177
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 3: the year, baby.

178
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: How pissed off would you be if you were one

179
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: of these girlfriends. You'd probably been telling everybody you're going

180
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: to the wedding of the year, going to Tammy and Matt's,

181
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: only to find out last minute that you have been

182
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: bumped from the invite list, especially because this is a

183
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: destination wedding and all of Matt's friends and family are

184
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: in Melbourne. So as soon as you heard it was happening,

185
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: you would have jumped on booked flights, booked accommodation. I

186
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 1: just think the thing that makes it worse is also

187
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: that Matt has clearly known his mate's girlfriends for years.

188
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: He said that these people are genuinely friends and he's

189
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: gotten to know them well. It'd be different if your

190
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: friend had a new girlfriend maybe you hadn't met. But

191
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: this is really brutal. I got the vibe from Matt's

192
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: grub that Tammy had asked him to un invite the

193
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: guests because maybe she hasn't met the girlfriends. I think

194
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: it's really different when you were bride and there are

195
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: restrictions on how many people you can invite. I know,

196
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: for me, I didn't really want people being at Dale

197
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: and My wedding who didn't know us very well. I

198
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: get that in a normal situation you want to invite

199
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: people that know you as a couple and have seen

200
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: you hang out as a couple before. But in their case,

201
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: they literally got engaged after knowing each other for a

202
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: couple of months and then forged ahead with this very

203
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: fast wedding. So I'm sure there's a lot of people

204
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 1: at this wedding who haven't hung out with them as well.

205
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: I wonder if Tammy's had to uninvite her friends, like

206
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: her female friend. I doubt it. He's probably covering the bill.

207
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: That's the other thing I don't understand. I know some

208
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: people have to keep their guest lists really tight because

209
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: of budget constraints, but when you're worth fifty million dollars,

210
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: you think you can invite a couple of extra people

211
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: just to save the piece. But maybe it's a specific

212
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: venue that has restrictions as well. It's quite funny because

213
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: Dale has been in that situation before before I knew him,

214
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: and he was with his ex. He got invited to

215
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: a wedding, but the ex was told not to come,

216
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: and all of his friend's partners were also not invited,

217
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: so it was just one big boy's table. That's just

218
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: asking for drug.

219
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 4: Well.

220
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: I actually thought, you know what, sometimes there's nothing worse

221
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: than going to a wedding where you don't really know

222
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: the people that well and they're not really your friends.

223
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: So I actually don't mind it. But it's clear that

224
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: he is friends with these people. It is totally offensive.

225
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: And what makes it even worse is that one of

226
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: the girlfriends who has now subsequently been uninvited. It's actually

227
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: her birthday the weekend of the wedding, so she is

228
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: flying over to Byron Bay to basically sit in a

229
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: hotel room by herself. Well, let's be honest, she's probably

230
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: not gonna be by herself. All of the other jaded

231
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: girlfriends who got uninvited are probably gonna be up there

232
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: as well. That's what makes it even tougher though, because

233
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: if you're invited as a couple, you can split the

234
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: cost of the accommodation. But I mean, I suppose they

235
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: could bunk in with other guys there, but it just

236
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: makes it more complicated. And I personally be pissed off

237
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: if my husband was going away and sending all of

238
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: this money to go to a wedding that I hadn't

239
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: been invited to. It's really cute because Matt also mentioned

240
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: on the podcast how he'd recently caught up with his

241
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: grandparents and thank goodness, they have not been uninvited. So

242
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: they went ahead and booked flights, but they went to

243
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: flight Centered and booked in with a travel agent to

244
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: get their flights and accommodations sorted. That is so cute

245
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: for interstate travel is absolutely darling that they did that,

246
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: and the grandma actually brought in her invite which had

247
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: all of the information on it, and apparently one of

248
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: the travel agents spotted it and was like, oh my god,

249
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: is this for Matt and Tammy Hembro's wedding And she

250
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: was like, please don't say anything. You can't tell a

251
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: soul about it, and was really worried about it. I

252
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: wonder if this was after the whole Sofa dofa leaking incident.

253
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: What I want to know is if Matt's having to

254
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: uninvite all of his friend's girlfriends, how it held it

255
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: Sofa dofa Coppy an invite because I have never ever

256
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: seen her hang out with Tammy Hembro, which isn't to

257
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: say that they're not secretly friends behind the scenes, but

258
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: they don't even live in the same state. What doesn't

259
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: not add another level of disappointment for the girls who

260
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: were uninvited, because this place will be crawling with influence.

261
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: It's been the best people watching spots, and Matt has

262
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: actually experienced being uninvited to a wedding himself, which I

263
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: think makes this even more of a dick move because

264
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: he knows how shit you feel when you're not included.

265
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: So a few years ago, when he was attending a

266
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: wedding with his ex in Geelong, he spent the whole

267
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: weekend sitting in a hotel room in a suit, waiting

268
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: to see if he got a call up. And Anna

269
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: said that it's so hypocritical of him now to do

270
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: the same thing to others, because he literally would not

271
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: stop going on about being not invited to this wedding. Now,

272
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: in tomorrow's subscriber episode, we're going to be talking more

273
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: about wedding invite etiquette and about a couple who actually

274
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: sent out You're not invited cards to family of friends

275
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: ahead of their wedding. Maybe they could have done this. Well,

276
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: that's just a huge slap in the face, isn't it.

277
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: And if you do want to listen to that episode,

278
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: don't forget to subscribe to Outspoken Plus.

279
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 5: I'm gonna pop this altogether and into the freezer.

280
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: This week, a Sunshine Coast content creator sparked a huge

281
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: debate in our Facebook group to freeze or not to

282
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: freeze sandwiches for kids lunchboxes? Now, Amy, this post went

283
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: off in our group. Can you bring us up to speed? Yeah? So,

284
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: Asia Easel who shares cooking videos and budgeting tips on

285
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: Instagram and TikTok, shared with her fifty nine thousand followers

286
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: on Instagram how she just got back into bulk prepping

287
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: her three sons sandwiches for their school lunchboxes. Let's have

288
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: a listen to what Asha said.

289
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 5: I'm trying to encourage you togs pack their own lunches

290
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 5: in the morning. If it means I just would make

291
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 5: chanveranges once every couple weeks, freeze it and they packed

292
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 5: the lunches, that would make my life so much easier.

293
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 5: Let's tell me why I took three full loads of

294
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 5: bread just make eight days worth of sandwiches for my boys.

295
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 5: Like I did not realize, Like this is how many

296
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 5: sandwiches I make in eight days. It's just crazy.

297
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: Her spreads of choice were veggimie and cheese honey and

298
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: also Ntella. Oh that's the winner there. Yeah, I wouldn't

299
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: mind a Natella sandwich when I was at school. And

300
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: I've got to say, eight sandwiches each for three boys,

301
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: that's a lot of food and requires a lot of

302
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: freezer space. Is it a sandwich a day?

303
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 5: So?

304
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: Is this covering eight days of school? Lunchboxes. Yes, that's

305
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: exactly what it is. So the idea is that in

306
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: the morning, the kids grub out their sandwiches from the

307
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: freezer and buy lunchtime. These sandwiches are dishausted, perfect for lunchtime.

308
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: How soggy would that be? Though? I have never eaten

309
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: a frozen sandwich before, and I can imagine it would

310
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: be even more difficult to persuade a child to eat

311
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: a frozen, soggy sandwich. There was a lot of mixed

312
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: reaction in our Facebook group. So some people like you,

313
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: were disgusted at the thought of eating frozen sandwiches, and

314
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: the main concern, as you said, was that the sandwiches

315
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: would be so by the time they were defrosted. However,

316
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: there were a lot of group members pointing out that

317
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: because of the spreads she had chosen, they would not

318
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: be soggy by lunchtime. So Asia said she's specifically chosen

319
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: to tell her honey and also veggimie and cheese because

320
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: they're not It's all like you're putting a salad sandwich

321
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: in the freezer, it's gonna get gross, really good point,

322
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: or a tuna sandwich. A lot of members in our

323
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: Facebook group who were mums were saying that this is

324
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: something that they do all of the time. And because

325
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: when I first saw this, I thought, well, how long

326
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: does it take to make a sandwich in the morning?

327
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: Do you really need to freeze and a tell a sandwich. However,

328
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm not a mum disclaimer, so when I have children

329
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: and I'm making the kids lunches, who knows I might

330
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: be fucking freezing everything over It is actually so refreshing

331
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: to see a mum sharing a realistic lunch box, because

332
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: as someone who's not even a parent myself, I get

333
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: enrage seeing these influencers sharing these fancy is it called

334
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: a bear toe box or whatever the other week and

335
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, look at these different apartments and everything's homemade,

336
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: everything's made by scratch, and it's meeting all of my

337
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: child's nutritional needs. And it's like, I'm sorry, but when

338
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: you've got a life, a job, you're looking after a

339
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,719
Speaker 1: busy household, probably most of the time because your husband's

340
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: not helping, when you have the time to be coming

341
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: up with these extravagant lunch boxes. And I think a

342
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: lot of mums are really loving Asia's content because it's relatable.

343
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: They're getting good tips on it, and it's budget friendly

344
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: because I creating one of those big Bento boxes would

345
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: be so expensive. But I like her content. I had

346
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: never heard of her before this sandwich debate. I went

347
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: and checked out her content. She's a Hillary Duff fan,

348
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: so she's high up there. My only thing is, I'm

349
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: going to be real. I hate the taste of frozen bread,

350
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: like I just don't know what is. It just has

351
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: a weird after taste to it. However, these kids are

352
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: being given to Tella sandwiches, So if I was a child,

353
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,479
Speaker 1: I think I could put up with that taste in

354
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: order to get an a Tella sandwich lunch. Yeah, frozen

355
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: sandwiches just remind me of aeroplane food or I mean

356
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: even they seem to serve up very cold sandwiches in

357
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: nursing homes. I don't think a sandwich should ever be

358
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: in the fridge. Well, do you know what the worst

359
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: thing was? Remember when we were all at school, and

360
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: of course no one had the fancy Stanley cups. You

361
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: all had an ice drink bottle and it had a

362
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: tea towel around it with a rubber band, and often

363
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: that would sit on top of your lunch box, and

364
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: our mum would always pack us. It was like a

365
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: bread roll for lunch plane because I think we'd complain

366
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: about having soggy sandwiches. If there were salad, we'd have

367
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: an apple for recess. But every time it would get

368
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: to lunch, because your drink bottle had been sitting on it,

369
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: it would inadvertently get soggy. And the worst thing is, yeah,

370
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: they're trying to stomach this bread roll, and there would

371
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: be kids chowing down on fucking dunk a use yogos

372
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: roll up Simber. I won't name names, but there was

373
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: this one girl who her mother. If they had Instagram,

374
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: like twenty years ago, oh, probably longer than that, twenty

375
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: five years ago, she would have been the one with

376
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: the perfect lunch box. I mean, I don't think it

377
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: was nutritional at all, but she literally had marble cake

378
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: every day, She'd have chocolate beats, slammed shoes on TikTok.

379
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: Everyone would abuse her for serving a chiwre well, they would,

380
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: but I remember she had the most envy lunch box

381
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: out of anyone. One of our friends used to bring

382
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: in a whole wheel of bree or cameon beer cheese, yeah,

383
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: and eat the whole thing at lunchtime. That's a great lunchbox.

384
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: Do you remember? This is so random, but one of

385
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: the news stations came down to our school when we

386
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: were in reception because they were doing a story about

387
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,719
Speaker 1: junk food. Yeah, and I was in that yees report.

388
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

389
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: So our mom's a dental therapist and as I said,

390
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: she would only pack like fucking apple and too bread roll. Anyway,

391
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: so the cameraman's there filming at lunchtime and he pans

392
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: to Sophie. And in this shop that was aired everywhere

393
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: was Sophie opening one of our friends very sugary musley bars,

394
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: and you had a lot of explaining to do when

395
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: you got home to her. We were not allowed to

396
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: have muslee bars, and I was having to explain to

397
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: Mum that I was merely helping my friend open it

398
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: for her to remember ghost drop. Sorry, this is getting

399
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: really nice because we were the best. There was a

400
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: girl at school and was so terrible because I don't

401
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: think she had many friends, but she would try and

402
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: buy friends with these ghost drops, So I shouldn't love

403
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: but well, actually, recently we found out that one of

404
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: our really good friends. I won't our best friend. Well, yes,

405
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: I hope she doesn't mind us telling the story. But

406
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: we found out that she got a lunch order every

407
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: day at school. She was living every child's dream. And

408
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: her mum is American. So she pointed out, well, that's

409
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: just normal for my mum, because in American schools, everyone

410
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: goes to school and gets lunch. But for us, we

411
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: got a lunch order like every term. It was every term,

412
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: and we would decorate the paper bag. We were that excited.

413
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: We draw cartoons on it. We'd say thank you to

414
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: the ladies working in the care I want to know

415
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: in our Facebook community how frequent your lunch orders were

416
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: and did every school around the country have pizza around us?

417
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: What else when you served up? I remember there were

418
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: Wienas like. I used to be so embarrassed. I worked

419
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: in the canteen and people be like, could I have

420
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 1: a Wiener please? Would it be like fruit balls slash puppies? Yeah?

421
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: What else? Well, they'd have macaroni and cheese cups for

422
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: lunch orders. I remember they would have the salads and

423
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: the teachers would always get it to have like a

424
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: boiled egg. I would order the salads because I wanted

425
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: to be like the teachers and they'd have they just

426
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: have like a pizza that was just in a box.

427
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what that's so much pineapple on it. Yeah,

428
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: I used to love pizza around as at school, and

429
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: I went on a mission last year to see if

430
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: I could find the original ones they'd serve at the canteen.

431
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: They do still exist, but you literally have to do

432
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: a bulk order of around fifty of them to get

433
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: your hands on them. I've seen them at my local

434
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: Coals and Woolies. They look pretty similar. They don't have

435
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: vegetarian versions, though, which is what I want. Well, that

436
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: was a debate we just had off microphone. I think

437
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: I think they did have vegetarian they didn't. I think

438
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: the shit ones at the store have ham in it,

439
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: which is why I've never bought them. Can someone settle

440
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: this for us? Put in our Facebook community if they

441
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: had some sort of handy bacon in the See Sophie,

442
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: this is a picture of ones with hands I understand.

443
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: I used to order them at the canteen and cam

444
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: and we pick it out. Let's get into our highs

445
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: and lows of the week, and I want to start

446
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: with my low because it's pretty funny. So this last weekend,

447
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: I had my family and also Dale's family over for

448
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: an afternoon tea, and Dale's little nephew came over and

449
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: he's around twelve, and the poor thing, he had no

450
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,479
Speaker 1: one to play with during this afternoon tea because everyone

451
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: was adults, so he was kind of just roaming around

452
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: the house trying to entertain himself. I was outside chatting

453
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: to all the other adults and Dale's nephew came running

454
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: out and in front of everyone, amy, why do you

455
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: own a penguin shaped dildo? And I just the conversation stopped.

456
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 1: Everyone's heads just looked at me. I said, what are

457
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: you talking about? He's like, you have a penguin shaped

458
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: dildo inside.

459
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 2: Now.

460
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: What he was actually referring to is the porcelain penises

461
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: that we painted at Kate's Hen's party, which was almost

462
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: two years ago. And I told you that this does

463
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: not belong in your kitchen. So these are if you're

464
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: in Adelaide. We've got the plaster fun house and Sophie

465
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: and I collected these plaster penises for everyone to paint,

466
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: and I turned mine into a penguin at Kate's hen's party,

467
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: and it has been sitting on my kitchen bench. I

468
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: actually had a little hat on it, like your little

469
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: Mexican hat. You couldn't even really tell what it was anyway,

470
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: So we quickly catton onto what he's talking about, and

471
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: our mum, who was at the hen's party, goes, oh,

472
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: it's fine, sweetheart. We all have them, and everyone just

473
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 1: looks at her, like, what on earth it's fine, sweety

474
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: before all have large diodos in our home. Is quite

475
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: funny because our mum also has her porcelain penis still

476
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: on display in her kitchen, which she's quite conservative. I

477
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 1: thought she would have gotten rid of that. Mine was

478
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: living in my garage. That was until I moved house

479
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: when my in laws spotted it and it got a

480
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: bit awkward. I think that they should have been disposed

481
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: of straight after the hen's party. I think I'm gonna

482
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: have to share a photo of this penis online because

483
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: it looks very cute. That's why I haven't thrown it out.

484
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: It's really quite funny. The sweetest thing was one of

485
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: Dale's friends. Later in the evening, his son came around,

486
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: and he's five, and we were telling Dale's friend about

487
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: the incident. Anyway, He's like, bring it out and show

488
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: Arlo and see what he says. Anyway, we showed him

489
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: and go what do you think this is? And he goes,

490
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: it's a penguin that was very whole, so cute. Now,

491
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: what's your high of the week. My eye of the

492
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: week is probably a work one because we just attended

493
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: one of our clients' events and it was a banana split.

494
00:24:58,800 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: What would you call it?

495
00:24:59,600 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 4: Like?

496
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: Well, they were attempting to beat the record in South

497
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: Australia of the most banana splits given away, so they

498
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: gave away over a thousand banana splits and so it's

499
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: quite incredible for banana days. So I was filming this

500
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: and my favorite part of the day was everyone was

501
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: literally dressed up in bright yellow and then seeing all

502
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: of the confused shoppers who had also worn yellow trying

503
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: to work out what was going on. Also, seeing you

504
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: chow down on a banana split at around ten thirty

505
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: am was pretty entertaining, going down quite nicely. Isn't that

506
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: such an old person? Dessert? Like, the majority of the

507
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: people lining up for these banana splits were elderly men

508
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: and elderly. They were like, well between fifties, like fifty plus,

509
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: I say fifty to seventy.

510
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

511
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: Well you could tell who the Almond moms were because

512
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: there were all these older women that were like, no, no, no, no,

513
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,479
Speaker 1: I'm not having anything. Oh they'd say, I'm just grabbing

514
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: this for my husband.

515
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 2: Now.

516
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: My high of the week is that its events season.

517
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: I feel like it's actually getting exciting. I feel like

518
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: there's so many things coming up. And one of the

519
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: things I'm looking forward to most is your Halloween party.

520
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 2: Amy.

521
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: We're having it next Friday. You say Halloween party, I've

522
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: literally only invited a handful of we I still think

523
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: that's a party when you're in your thirties. And I

524
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: have found the perfect pop culture costume.

525
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 3: So you say.

526
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: Perfect pop culture. Everyone is coming. I don't want to

527
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift. Everyone's Swift, but it's Taylor and Travis at Wimbledon.

528
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: It's basically Sophie rocking up in a nice dress and

529
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: then everyone be like, who is she meant to be?

530
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: It's a real token effort. It's not a token effort.

531
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: I have gone and sourced the red dress. I've got

532
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: the sunglasses, I've got the jewelry. I'm thinking of buying

533
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,959
Speaker 1: a clip in fringe. And then it's really Brandon who

534
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 1: is going to add to my costume because he is

535
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: going to be wearing that iconic Gucci outfit that Travis

536
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: wore with the bucket hat. And has he even got that? Yeah, Well,

537
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: we are currently going through his wardrobe and we're going

538
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: to be adjusting and adding a few of the red

539
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: and green stripes. I'm going to make him a special

540
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: bucket hat. I think it's going to look really good.

541
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it, and I'm really excited because

542
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: a few of our friends have surprise outfits, so I'm

543
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: one of those people. You're one of those people, and

544
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: it sounds like the outfits are going to be quite rogue.

545
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

546
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: The people who have the surprise outfits, they're going for

547
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: the laughs. Well, I certainly am. Yeah. My love of

548
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: the week is that I can no longer trust food

549
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: that is not in a package, and I know that

550
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: that is not environmentally food. I was at the supermarket

551
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: the other night and I witnessed a child pick up

552
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: a bunch of broccolini, put it in their mouth, suck

553
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: on it, and then proceed to put it back in

554
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: the box, and it they missed because they were so sure,

555
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: and it ended up dropping on the ground, and the

556
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: person's parent came over and proceeded to pick it off

557
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: the ground and put it back in the box where

558
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: people were purchasing from. And I was horrified. And my

559
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: partner pointed out to me, he said, why didn't you

560
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: remove it from the box so that no one else

561
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: end up buying it? And that you that's a very

562
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: good point. But I was almost frozen in disbelief at

563
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: I kept All I could think about was, Oh, my god,

564
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: what have I eaten from here in the past that

565
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: kids have put their hands and possibly mouths all over.

566
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: So this is your body to wash your vegetables? Yes,

567
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: I think that is important to what I get confused

568
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: because I keep seeing these tiktoks pop up and it's

569
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: people washing berries. They're going through all this stuff like

570
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: they're putting in all these different cleaning products or just

571
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: well just to get rid of all of the nasty

572
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: chemicals that are sprayed on them. Yeah, Sophy, I do

573
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: have an update for you, and this could add to

574
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: your high of the week. I have actually found the

575
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: ingredients lists for pizza around us. Why would this be

576
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: my home because it does say that they contain pork

577
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: told you all right anyway, So just to save people

578
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: from writing in but you are wrong, Amy, do you

579
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: know what I'm actually gonna make for my TikTok? This

00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: is a subtle plugged to go and follow my TikTok
