I'm 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 1: Sophie Torber and coming up on today's show, Amy Girard 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: calls out her own family on Mother's Day. Saffron Barker's 5 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: dream trip to the US has turned into a nightmare. 6 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: Why everyone is losing their minds over La Boo Boos 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: and our Friday de Brief but First, Rachel Dillon has 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: been forced to ask her followers to keep a special 9 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: secret for her. The Finnis influencer is currently thirty weeks 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: pregnant and accidentally let slip her son's name to her 11 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: one point eight million followers on her Instagram story now Kate. 12 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: She only realized the mistake when she received an influx 13 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,599 Speaker 1: of messages from her followers. 14 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 15 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: She quickly deleted the story and wrote to her audience, 16 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: I did just say his name on my story for 17 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: all of those who saw and message, Oops, baby brain, 18 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: But can it be our little secret? It's been a 19 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: name I've wanted from my boy for years, and I 20 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: speak about him using his name, so it's just natural now. Fortunately, 21 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: from what I've seen, people have been pretty respectful to 22 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: Rachel's wishes. We even had a thread in our Facebook 23 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: group asking what's the name? And no one has given it, 24 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: which I'm pleased to see. I'm actually shocked that no 25 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: one has leaked this name. It's a very pleasant surprise. 26 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: Do we think that maybe not that many people caught 27 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: the name? Well, I think it's probably a case of 28 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: the people who twigged and heard the name and messaged 29 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 1: her are probably hardcore Rachel Dylan fans and they want 30 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: to respect her privacy. And she put out that message saying, 31 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: you know, please, can you help keep my secret? I 32 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: bet the Daily Mails kicking themselves that they didn't catch 33 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: this name. Yeah, I've seen a few influence of watchdog 34 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: accounts asking did anyone catch it? 35 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 2: Now? 36 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: While Rachel is pregnant with her first baby, she's also 37 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: a step mom to her husband, Toby Pierce's daughter, Anna. 38 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: Anna's mum is, of course, Kayla Assinas, Toby's ex fiance 39 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: and business partner, and I have really enjoyed seeing Anna 40 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: and Rachel's relationship blossom on her Instagram story and it's 41 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: so sweet because Rachel shared a video of Anna surprising 42 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: her with a Mother's Day card where she called her 43 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: her second mummy. Let's take a listen, you guess, Kelly, 44 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: I do. Yeah, my momius the baby. 45 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 3: How that's very true. 46 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: My mom should get an award for growing a baby. 47 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: I think they should do. 48 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 4: She's unique because she is my second mummy. On that's 49 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 4: a nic baby. 50 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: I love her focus. 51 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 1: She was on the fact that Rachel gets around poo 52 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: bearing it as I like to call it, with a 53 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: belly out all the time. 54 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 2: I just loved it. 55 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: The things that kids seem to focus on, well, it 56 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: is pretty funny because I think it's quite a novel 57 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: thing for people to see, like it's in fashion at 58 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: the moment. But you know, a kid kind of just 59 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: calls it how they see it and says, oh, you 60 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: wear your tummy out all the time. When I see 61 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: these blossoming relationships between step parents, I sometimes wonder how 62 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: the other parents feel. I put myself in that situation 63 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: and think, how would I feel if my future child 64 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: referred to someone else as their second mom. Yeah, I'm 65 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: not gonna lie. When I was watching it, I was thinking, Oh, 66 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: I wonder how I'd feel if this was Jack, And 67 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: my heart actually sank a little bit. But then You've 68 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: got to remember, it's so nice that Anna gets on 69 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: with their step mom. I mean, the situation would be 70 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: way worse. I mean in fairy tales you hear about 71 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: all these evil step moms, and I think it's actually 72 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: so nice that we're seeing this positive step mother and 73 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: stepdaughter relationship playing. 74 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,399 Speaker 2: It's really beautiful. 75 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: I think you'd be very relieved that your child had 76 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: such a positive person in their life. But for me, 77 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: for some reason, them calling them also their mom, I 78 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: would just find really triggering. The thing is you probably 79 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't normally have to watch it, but because Rachel has 80 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: shared it on social media, you are watching it in 81 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: real time and that interaction. That being said, Anna also 82 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: seems very close with Jay, which is Kayla's partner. I 83 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: don't know if she refers to him as dad, but 84 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: it's an interesting one. She wasn't referring to Rachel as mum, 85 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: like she was calling her Rachel, but it just said 86 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: she had to fill out a worksheet for school and 87 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: said my second mummy, Like that's a fun fact about her. 88 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to all of our kids going to school. 89 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: I want to receive some of these gifts. They're quite funny. 90 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: The only thing is the kids seem to drop you 91 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: in it and point out all of your embarrassing little flaws, 92 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: all the stupid things that you. 93 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 2: Do around the house. 94 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't sugarcoat anything. 95 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 3: All right. Quick. PSA for all the husbands out there, 96 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,239 Speaker 3: your mom can get a text message, a phone call, 97 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 3: but if you have a wife with kids, that's the 98 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: woman that needs to be celebrated through that day. 99 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: Amy Gerard has slammed her family for not celebrating her 100 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: on Mother's Day. The radio host shared an emotional post 101 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: saying she felt unappreciated and undervalued. Kate, before we get 102 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: into it, for those not familiar with Amy, can you 103 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: give us a bit of background. Tem Me actually started 104 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: out on social media, documenting her journey with motherhood on Instagram. 105 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: Is that a fancy way of saying that she's a 106 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: mummy blogger? Because I know the term mummy blogger is 107 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: very frowned upon it the moment we get nervous to 108 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: use that. Yeah, it is a term that we're trying 109 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: to retire at the moment. So her audience began to 110 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: grow as she shared her honest and sometimes comedic take 111 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: on parenting. She now has one hundred and fifty six 112 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: thousand followers and released a memoir, host two podcasts, created 113 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: a wine company, and, as you said in the intro, 114 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: has become a weekend radio host on Kiss FM. 115 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 2: Now. 116 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: On Mother's Day, Amy shared a photo of clouds over 117 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: a river at dusk with the caption nothing quite like 118 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: Mother's Day to really highlight how underappreciated and undervalued you 119 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: are one day and not a single person in my 120 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: family could make it special. I'm flying to Paris next year. 121 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: Can you imagine being her husband and opening up Instagram 122 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: and seeing this, You'd be like, I have fucked up. Oh, 123 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: your stomach would absolutely drop because not only are your 124 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: family and friends seeing this, but over a one hundred and 125 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: fifty six thousand people on Instagram who were judging you 126 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: for not doing anything. And you just know, in this 127 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,559 Speaker 1: day and age, there's going to be think pieces written 128 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: about it, It's going to be spoken about a lot, 129 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: and there's probably going to be a big argument at home. 130 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: And also the fact that she now is a radio host. Yeah, 131 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,119 Speaker 1: this is going to be your topic on her radio show. 132 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: It's also awkward because this year and we've spoken about 133 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: it with our friends I've seen this real shift of 134 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: the way that people are celebrating Mother's Day, particularly on 135 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: social media. When I woke up, there were a lot 136 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: of mothers who were almost celebrating themselves, which I thought 137 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: was quite nice. Like they were marking it with a 138 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: post of them and their children saying that, you know, 139 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: thank you for making me a mom and sharing the 140 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: highlights of their motherhood journey. 141 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, which I haven't seen before. 142 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, it seemed like you had to wish everyone a 143 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: happy Mother's Day, like your friends who are mums, and 144 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: your mother in law and your mom, and like it's 145 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: not just because I think the day is about your 146 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: mom and your relationship with your mom. And then also 147 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: if you're a mother, your kid showing you some appreciation. Yeah, 148 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: I mean the shops must be loving it. Because I 149 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: don't know where this concept of having to buy other 150 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: mom's presence came from. 151 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 2: I felt so terrible. 152 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: My sister in law bought me this beautiful little jumpsuit 153 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: for our baby and was saying, oh, you know, even 154 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: though you haven't had the baby yet, happy first Mother's Day. 155 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: And I just felt like an asshole because I didn't 156 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: buy her anything. I was like, I didn't know this 157 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,239 Speaker 1: was a thing. Well, I mean, yeah, we were talking 158 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: about I think it was on a subs episode. How 159 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: it was contentious whether you get someone who's pregnant a 160 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: Mother's Day gift or not. They have to wait till 161 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: they have had the baby. 162 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 2: You feel like Brownon was scared here. 163 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: When I woke up, he prepared me my favorite breakfast, 164 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: very basic, which was Antella mon toast. 165 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 2: He brought me some air pods. 166 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: I take it back by the gift, and he also 167 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: had a card because he knows that I love cards. 168 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: And he had a message from our unborn son Archie 169 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: and also himself in there. And it did see because 170 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: your husband and Amy's husband they both put up these 171 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: beautiful posts for your first Mother's Day with the carousela 172 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: photos and he's like, do you want me it a 173 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: social media posts? I was like, no, that's fine. Well 174 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: my husband also got the memo. I was very spoilt 175 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: and very grateful for all the effort that he put in. 176 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: I definitely didn't have the same situation as ab Grard. 177 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: So the next day she went on to her Instagram 178 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: story to provide a bit more context. So talking to 179 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: the camera, she explained that she's low maintenance and doesn't 180 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: ask for much or expect gifts. However, she said she 181 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: was hoping for a cup of tea or breakfast in 182 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: bed and got neither. 183 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: Instead. 184 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: She said that she did countless loads of washing, rake 185 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: the lawn, and broke up arguments between her kids. She 186 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: went on to say it was her fault for thinking 187 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: things would be different on other's day. Here's more of 188 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: what she said. 189 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 3: And so I. 190 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 2: Basically just. 191 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: Got on with my day and I was just whatever. 192 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: And then towards the afternoon, I don't know, Bobby and 193 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: Kobe were off. 194 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 3: So like demonic children, and they were just. 195 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: Like taking in turns to go me. And then I 196 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: think at like three point thirty, I was like. 197 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 3: This and I just got my keys. 198 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: I feel like having breakfast in bed supplied for you 199 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: is the bare minimum when you've got kids who live 200 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: at home. I remember being in my twenties and still 201 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: making pancakes for Mum on the morning of Mother's Day. 202 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: I don't think that there's any excuse here. I also 203 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 1: think that it comes down to the father setting the 204 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: agenda for the day and saying, hey, we're going to 205 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: get up early. We're going to make mums and breakfast 206 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: and let's plan a nice day for her. 207 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: I do feel a bit. 208 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: Uncomfortable how she said their kids were off their effing 209 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: tits and they were demonic, like. 210 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 2: They much lay bad. 211 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: But I mean their primary school age children. I think 212 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: her oldest one is ten and the others are a 213 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: little bit younger. Maybe she thought this was relatable though, 214 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: because we were seeing, as I said before, just all 215 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: of the beautiful moments of motherhood being shared on Instagram 216 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: on Sunday, whereas no one was really suing the reality. Well, 217 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 1: I'm glad that we've got a bit of reality on 218 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: Mother's Day. Yeah, I mean, as an influencer, it was 219 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: nice to actually, you know, see that her day wasn't perfect. 220 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: And I think obviously we're seeing a lot of highlight 221 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 1: reels from the day. I think she must have gone 222 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: online started comparing her day to everyone else's in it 223 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: just the rage would have built up and built up. 224 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,599 Speaker 1: I mean. The response was mixed. Amy said that she 225 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: was flooded with sympathetic messages from her followers. She said 226 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: she received two thousand replies to her story from other mums, 227 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: saying that they also felt like pieces of shit. 228 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 2: On Mother's Day, which is so sad. 229 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 1: Well, that's what I hate about social media because in 230 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: this day and age, you can compare and see what 231 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: other people's partners and kids have done for them and 232 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: instantly think, well, why haven't I had the same treatment. 233 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 1: I just think it made me feel uncomfortable that she 234 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 1: specifically named her children and called them out. I do 235 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 1: think the message should have been directed. 236 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 2: At her husband. I mean, the kids are young. 237 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 1: Yes, they could have behaved, but it's up to the 238 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: partner to facilitate breakfast in bed in a present. I mean, 239 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: don't schools do cards and stuff like that we're talking 240 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: about Rachel Dlon got a card. 241 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 2: Well, talking about. 242 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: Mother's Day cards, did you see the one that rocks 243 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: in ankhost daughter Pixie curtis right for her. I'm still 244 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: in shock over this one because she took a photo 245 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: of the message in the card, and one line that 246 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 1: stood out to me was I will miss you so 247 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: so so much when I go to Switzerland. Who will 248 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: tell you to go ten because the UV is high. 249 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: Now Roxy and her family they're currently living in Singapore, 250 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: and just like Australia, the UV is very high there. 251 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 2: The really disturbing thing. 252 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: About this that people may not realize is that Roxy 253 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 1: and her daughter are both natural redheads. They have very 254 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: pale skin, type one skin. So the fact that Roxy 255 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: has been pushing this as a normal message to her 256 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: daughter is quite concerning. 257 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. 258 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: Well, redheads are significantly more prone to skin cancer, particularly melanoma. 259 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: In fact, their risk of melanoma is ten to one 260 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: hundred times higher than those without red hair. 261 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 2: So fuck it gets me worried. 262 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 4: We're going to the Yes, come on to road it 263 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 4: with us. 264 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I've already been freaking out because they've 265 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,599 Speaker 1: just given us our dream car to drive. UK influencers. 266 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: Saffron Barker's dream trip to the US with her boyfriend 267 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: Josh Milne has turned into a nightmare. The couple are 268 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: now stranded in the States after their passports were stolen 269 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: from the boot of their rental car. Sophie, it sounds 270 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: like it's been the holiday from hell. Why did I 271 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: get Matt Lucas's voice in my head? With Saffron also 272 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: being hospitalized, Yeah, it really seems to be one thing 273 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: after the other on this trip. It was the first 274 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: time that Saffron was traveling to the US with her 275 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 1: boyfriend and the third time this year, though well the 276 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,719 Speaker 1: third time for her first time with her and a 277 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: new boyfriend. 278 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 3: Now. 279 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: Saffron shared an Instagram story of her sitting in a 280 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: very fancy dentist chair and her eyes looked incredibly puffy, 281 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 1: like she'd been crying, and she was holding onto this 282 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: stuffed toy rat Now. The caption read, in the last week, 283 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: I have been in hospital, had emergency surgery, got my 284 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: rental car completely smashed up, and every single thing I 285 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: own stolen, including my passport, so I can't get home. 286 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: When I saw this, I immediately sent it to you 287 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: because I was like, fuck, what is going on? 288 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 2: Well, she looked. 289 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: Completely broken, and the post generated a lot of confusion 290 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: because Saffron has been in the US for a few 291 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: weeks now on a brand shoot, and she also attended 292 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,719 Speaker 1: Stage Coach with her sister in law, and one of 293 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: the big reasons that she is also in the US 294 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: is to get her teeth fixed. We spoke about this 295 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: in depth on the Subs episode because for the past 296 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: year she has been trolled and ridiculed about her veneers. 297 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: So she opened up last week that she had been 298 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: considering suing her London based dentist over them. 299 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, because she previously. 300 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: Tried in Visilne, which I think a lot of influencers 301 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: were doing at the time, but she hated wearing the 302 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: plates because she's very self conscious about having a lisp 303 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: on camera. 304 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 2: So her dentist allegedly. 305 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: Convinced her that he could make her teeth perfect by 306 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: adding just two veneers at the front of her smile. 307 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: So the two venirs quickly turned into four and it 308 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: left her teeth looking really mismatched in colour because they 309 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: were just so white, and they also were way too 310 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: big for her mouth. She ended up actually having to 311 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: go to a second local dentist who attempted to fix 312 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: her teeth, and they ended up having to add even 313 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: more veneers, which left her with this very unnatural looking smile. 314 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: The worst bit is she didn't actually update her audience 315 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: to say she was getting veneers, so she would attract 316 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: so many comments to like, what is going on with 317 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 1: your teeth because it made her look like a completely 318 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: different person. Yeah, so she decided that while she was 319 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: in the US, why don't I go and fix my 320 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: teeth for a third time, So she booked herself into 321 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: this celebrity dentist called doctor John Marashi, who is based 322 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: in la He's actually the man behind Lindsay Lohan's new smile. 323 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: Last year, there were so many before and after photos 324 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: of Lindsay's circulating on TikTok, because she'd had a lot 325 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: of really good work done, but also her teeth, because 326 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: during those years where she was in the public eye, 327 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: Lindsay had a drug problem which affected the way her 328 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: teeth looked, and everyone was saying, oh my god, she 329 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: looks so much better with these new veniers. 330 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 2: They're very natural. 331 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: It's because her teeth actually look like what they used 332 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: to look like, and I think that was shaped to them. Yeah, 333 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: And I think that's where a lot of influencers and 334 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: celebrities have gone wrong. They've all jumped on this bandwagon 335 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: and got these big white, fake veneers and I think 336 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: we're going to see a lot of people reversing them 337 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: to much more natural looking teeth now. Saffron's post led 338 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: many people to speculate that maybe she'd been unlucky again 339 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: and had medical complications due to her third set of veneers, 340 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: because again, this photo was taken of her at the 341 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: dentists all like she was speaking about having this terrible 342 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: time at the dentist, you were following the speculation. The 343 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: next day, Saffron shared a post gushing about her new 344 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: teeth so. She wrote, after all the dramas I've had 345 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: this trip, there's been a lot, I'm still smiling because 346 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: of the incredible work doctor John has done to transform 347 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: my smile back to being mine again. After having such 348 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: bad experience with dental work in the past, I was 349 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: honestly scarred and didn't think I'd ever be able to 350 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: sit in a dentist's chair again. But then I met John, 351 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: who completely changed that. There are some people in life 352 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: you know, are just special people, and this man has 353 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: proved that and given me faith back in humanity. Thank you, 354 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: doctor John. Your understanding, care and attention in and out 355 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: of office hours are beyond any expectation. I'll be eternally 356 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: grateful for your kindness. It's definitely a bit of a 357 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: back pet there. I feel like his team saw her 358 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: Instagram story of her sitting inconsolable in his chair and 359 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: were like, clear this up immediately because this is a 360 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: very gushy post. The fact that she said he's restored 361 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: her faith in humanity. I mean that's a massive call. 362 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. 363 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: Well, it also makes me feel like the dental work 364 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: must have been gifted, because why else is she doing 365 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: a post about it and showing off his work. 366 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 2: And saying how fantastic he is. 367 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: Or it could be a case that he was so 368 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: pissed off that it looked like she was inferring things 369 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: had gone wrong that she had to post this to 370 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: kind of smooth things over with him, or anyone can 371 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: see looking at the photos that her teeth look a 372 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: million times better. They look so much more natural. They 373 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: have this really nice shape to them, because before her 374 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: teeth just sort of they just went in one line 375 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: and they were all the same size. 376 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 2: They just looked so unnatural. 377 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: She looks so much younger as well. Yeah, she looks 378 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: more like herself now. Saffron has still kept her followers 379 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: in the dark about what this medical emergency actually was, 380 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: and many people have accused her of clickbaiting the story 381 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: to be anticipation for when she does a full storytime 382 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: on a YouTube channel. She did open up, though, on 383 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: TikTok about her rental car being robs so in a 384 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: post on TikTok, she shared a video of her and 385 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: her boyfriend Josh singing in the car on their way 386 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: to Las Vegas and wrote, they don't know it yet, 387 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: but in two hours time into their dream road trip, 388 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: they'll end up getting their rental cars smashed up and 389 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: everything they had with them stolen, including their passports. She 390 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: then followed it up with a vlog of their road 391 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: trip a day later. So, Josh had met up with 392 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: Saffron in La just days before, and they'd planned to 393 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: do a four hour road trip. 394 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 2: To Las Vegas. 395 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: And it was pretty awkward because in the opening scenes 396 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 1: of this TikTok vlog, Saffron said she was so excited 397 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: because the rental company had given them their dream car, 398 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: and she felt as though they had a lot of 399 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: luck on their side that morning, looking by the full 400 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: shadowing Yeah. Josh then spoke about being nervous driving the 401 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: car because he hadn't driven in the US before and 402 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: that he had very precious cargo so he wanted to 403 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: be very safe now. The car in question was a 404 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: white Jeep, and I feel like they looked very much 405 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: like Ken and Barbie in this car. I feel like 406 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: it would have attracted a lot of attention. So they 407 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: ended up stopping at a seven eleven for hot dogs 408 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 1: and cokes, and then hours later stopped at a fifties 409 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: diner called Peggy Sues, and so Fron spoke about how 410 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 1: it was really nostalgic for her because that's where her 411 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: and her family stopped for the first time they drove 412 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: to Las Vegas. Now, the diner, as Saffron pointed out, 413 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: was in the middle of nowhere, and the couple left 414 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: their suitcases in the back and went inside for lunch. 415 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: I want to point out that this was in the 416 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: middle of the day, so broad daylight. Yeah. Now, when 417 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: they returned to their car, they found the back window 418 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: had been completely smashed in and their suitcases were gone, 419 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: and Saffron was in tears, explaining that her medication had 420 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: been stolen and everything else in the car was gone. 421 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: What medication, Because there's been a lot of question marks 422 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: of her, whether she's on her zen pick. Well, surely 423 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: she wouldn't include that in the vlog if she was 424 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: referring to its empic. 425 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 2: I don't know. It just makes me think because people 426 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 2: have said they've spot in her fridge. 427 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: Oh really, Yeah, that thought did cross my mind. But 428 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: then I also remember the fact that she had been 429 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: rushed in for emergency surgery, so maybe the medication was 430 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: related to that. Assumed the emergency surgery was after this incident, 431 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,479 Speaker 1: but who knows. We need more details, so we need 432 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,479 Speaker 1: the story time. The thing is, there was quite an 433 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: outpouring of sympathy for Saffron. A lot of people felt 434 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: bad for her and Josh, but there were also a 435 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: number of people who blamed the couple for leaving their 436 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: passports in the car. One user wrope, but who leaves 437 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: their passports in a car whilst on holiday? And Saffron 438 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: actually responded to that post saying anyone who was driving 439 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: from one state to another now. Another user agreed, saying 440 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: why leave important things in the car? Always keep it 441 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: on you. She responded again, saying you expect us to 442 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: take four suitcases and two duffels with us into a 443 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: restaurant we was in. Sorry, that just sounds like a 444 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: for thirty minutes. It's easier said than done. There's not 445 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: a victim blaming going on. I mean, I am surprised 446 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: that you wouldn't probably put your passport in your handbag 447 00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: and bring it in, But all the other things, like 448 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: she's had everything stolen from them. Also, when I saw 449 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: that this robbery had taken place in the middle of 450 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: the day outside a diner where there are a lot 451 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 1: of people walking in and out, I was quite surprised, 452 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: Like you would you would think that your stuff was 453 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: safe in the back of your car, But it sounds 454 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: like they were being pretty flashy, like they've got this 455 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: flash car. They're, you know, attractive couple. They were obviously 456 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 1: catching a lot of attention, and some locals gone, oh, 457 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to robble their expensive belongings. Well, I hope 458 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: they didn't take a camera because I really want to 459 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: see this trip unfold. She probably was vlogging in the diner, 460 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 1: so it's probably hopefully well. One TikTok user wrote in 461 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 1: the comments that the exact same thing happened to them 462 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: recently in San Francisco, and they warned that rental cars 463 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,199 Speaker 1: can become a target in the US because generally they 464 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: have a different states license played on them, so it's 465 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 1: very obvious that people are probably carrying luggage around on traveling. 466 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: I feel like this would be quite triggering for Saffron 467 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: because back in twenty nineteen, her family home was burgled 468 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 1: while she and her family were asleep inside, so her 469 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: brother Jed woke up to find one of the intruders. 470 00:20:59,160 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 2: In his room. 471 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: I'll be so terrifying, and he mistakenly thought it was 472 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: a family member and went back to sleep. Gosh, that 473 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: is terrifying. The intruders ended up stealing their cars as 474 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: well as a number of possessions inside their home, so 475 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: this incident would have really triggered and brought back those 476 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: emotions for Saffron. 477 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 4: Someone please explain this to me. 478 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: Why I'm in my thirties and I'm contemplating buying a 479 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 1: little gremlin toy? 480 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 4: Is that what they even are? 481 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 3: Like? 482 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 2: Why do I want a Labooboo? 483 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: Why do I need one? The new girl trinket toy 484 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: has arrived on Ossie Shores. Forget jellycats and sunny angels, 485 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: A fluffy monster bag charm called a Laboo Boo is 486 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: being heralded as the epitome of chic. The craze has 487 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: taken hold in Australia, with hundreds lining up overnight to 488 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: get their hands on the in demand monster plushies. While 489 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: many have bought into the craze, others say this is 490 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: proof we're just sheep who copy influences every move, so 491 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: why do I already know people like you are the 492 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: target market. Look, I don't actually own a Laboo Boo yet, 493 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: but I feel like by the end of this episode, 494 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to convince myself that I need one, because 495 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: I have literally engaged with one laboobouo video on TikTok 496 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 1: and now my whole feed is full of influencers doing 497 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: unboxing videos of them. I've got to admit I had 498 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: no idea what a laboo boo was for. You brought 499 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: it up for those people in the same camp as me. 500 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 3: What is it? 501 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: Well, gen Zetters have actually been doing God's work across TikTok, 502 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: and they've been kindly creating videos educating elder millennials about 503 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: what they are and why we need one. 504 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 2: And we're not elder millennials. I'm saying we are. 505 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: I'm saying if there's any elder millennials who are listening, 506 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: because again they might be in the same camp of 507 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: UK and have never heard of them. I first want 508 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: to describe what they looked like, because when I first 509 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: saw them, I thought it was just a fluffy bunny 510 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: on a key chain, but a Labooboo is actually a 511 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: fictional character that was created in twenty fifteen by a 512 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: Hong Kong artist called Casing Long, and they actually appeared 513 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: in his book called The Mom Monsters. 514 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:00,959 Speaker 2: Now. 515 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: He based them off his love of Nordic folklore, and 516 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: they're known for having their fairy bodies, pointed ears, sharp teeth, 517 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: and also wide eyes. And some TikTokers are going as 518 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 1: far as describing the La Boobuo as works of art, 519 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: while others say that they bear a striking resemblance to 520 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: the characters in the Where the Wild Things Are books. Oh, 521 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: that book takes me back. Our grandparents used to have 522 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 1: it at their house and I got it for Jack. 523 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 2: Well. 524 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: People are saying on TikTok that millennials will probably get 525 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: into this trend soon because of the connection that they 526 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: have with the Where the Wild Things Are book. It 527 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of back in the day when 528 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: we used to have about ten different key rings and 529 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: our keys. Okay, they're actually worn on bags, so they're 530 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,719 Speaker 1: known as a bag charm, which is a whole nother 531 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 1: element to this story. Now, this character became so popular 532 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: in the Chinese kids' books that the designer decided to 533 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: take his work and create them into key chains, and 534 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, he struck up an exclusive license agreement 535 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: with PopMart, which is a toy company in Beijing which 536 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 1: is known for selling knick knacks and color so they 537 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: are the only place still that you can officially buy 538 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: them from. So if they're kids toys, then why is 539 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 1: every influencer now sporting one on their bag. Well, it's 540 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: really down to Rihanna and a couple of big celebrities 541 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: because they really took off after Rihanna was spotted with 542 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 1: a pink laboo boo on her handbag and you cannot 543 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: find this pink labooboo anywhere now. Also K pop singer Lisa, 544 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: who appeared on the recent series of White Lotus. She 545 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: is also behind the rise in popularity because she started 546 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 1: posting about her collection on TikTok and instantly the sales surged. Recently, 547 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: we've even seen NBA players getting into the craze, so 548 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: they're wearing them clipped onto their pants when they rock 549 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: up for game days. It's it's fucking wild. I just 550 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: don't get it. I think they're extremely ugly and I'd 551 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: hate to have something hanging off my bag. I don't 552 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: know if we fall into the age group that's all 553 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: about them. I really think that they're for jen Zetas. 554 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: The thing that is pretty wild is that you can't 555 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: even get your hands on these things. You have to 556 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: physically wait until a NU draw is it PopMart, and 557 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: you have to physically line up in person to get them, because, 558 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: as I said, PopMart is the only place the stocks 559 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: these key chains. 560 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 2: So where is the popmark? 561 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: Do we have on an Adelaide? I've never heard of 562 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 1: it before. I don't think we have one in Adelaide. 563 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: There is one in Sydney and recently there were people 564 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 1: queuing up overnight on Pitt Street, despite the fact that 565 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: there were these strong weather warnings in place, just to 566 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 1: get their hands on the next drop. 567 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 2: It's pretty clever. 568 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: Making them only available in person adds to that exclusivity. 569 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 2: I want to cut in. 570 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: I think you can also get them online though through 571 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: resellers the whole other game. Yeah, But the genius behind 572 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: it is this blind box element, similar to the sunny 573 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: Angels you see popping up on TikTok. So it's basically 574 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: like a modern day Lucky Dip. So the idea is 575 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: you buy a Laboo Boo in this sealed box and 576 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: you don't know which one you're going to get, so 577 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: it's a collectible. And there's basically rare ones which are 578 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: known as secret Laboo Boo so they've got special colorways 579 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: and they're worth a lot of money and it also 580 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: gives with status if you've got one of these special ones. 581 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: It's pretty crazy because the Australian blind box market is 582 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: estimated to be worth one hundred and seventy million dollars 583 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 1: and I really think it's because it plays into us 584 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: almost revisiting our childhood and getting that excitement. It's almost 585 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: like gambling. So when you say the Australian blind box market, 586 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: are there are other companies other than Sunny Angels on 587 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: the Booboo doing blind boxes. Yeah, well there's a lot 588 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: of collectibles that play on this idea of which one 589 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: are you going to get? See. I remember absolutely begging 590 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: Mum and dad to do a lucky dip and you 591 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: will always disappointed. 592 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 2: With what you got in there. 593 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 1: Well, I think the whole blind box concept was literally 594 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: designed for TikTok because you can share with your followers 595 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 1: the theater of it all. 596 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 2: Because with these La Boo boos. 597 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: You pop open the box and there's the tearing of 598 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: the packet and then you can share your excitement or disappointment, 599 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: and then those videos have the potential to go viral, 600 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: particularly if you get one of the secret La Boo boos. 601 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: And on TikTok jen zetters have described as similar to 602 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: gambling and getting this serotonin rush when they unbox the labooboo, 603 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of psychology behind it. Oh yeah, 604 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: These labooboos are in such demand the popmar are now 605 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: selling them in slabs, so you can get a slab 606 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 1: of six or a slab of twelve, and in the 607 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: slabs you're guaranteed to get one of each color and 608 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: no double ups. It seems to be the cheaper way 609 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: to buy them and the most efficient way to actually 610 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: get one of the colors that you want. There's also 611 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,360 Speaker 1: a one in seventy two chance of getting a secret laboobo, 612 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: which again are the rare Laboo boos, so you do 613 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: increase your chances by buying them in the slab. 614 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 2: There are varying. 615 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: Reports of how much labooboos actually cost. Because I had 616 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: a look on the PopMart website and one blind box, 617 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: so that is just for one labooboo costs seventy two 618 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: dollars Australian dollars, yes, and think, God, what the hell? 619 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: And the slabs depend on what series you're buying. So 620 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: on the website there were blind boxes which had six 621 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: labooboos in them and they ranged from four hundred and 622 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: fifty dollars to five hundred and five fifty dollars. 623 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 2: You can also individually buy. 624 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: Ones with special outfits, so these aren't the blind box ones. 625 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 1: They're actually ones you specifically choose and they arrange from 626 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety nine dollars to four hundred and 627 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: ninety nine dollars. So these little, cheap, fluffy key chains 628 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: are literally being seen as these signs of wealth, even 629 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:20,160 Speaker 1: though they look a bit. 630 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 2: Tacky hanging from your back. God, who the hell is 631 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 2: affording this? 632 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: In this cost of sales crists are like, oh, yep, 633 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: I'll just get a slab of six. That's probably what 634 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: my rent is going to cost this week, but oh well, well. 635 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: There are tons of resellers popping up on Facebook market Place, 636 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: and I think it's purely for the fact that people 637 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: are buying whole slabs of them purely to get the 638 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: one color that they want, and then they're like, oh fuck, 639 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: I've got no use for these other ones that I'm 640 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: not interested in.

I 673 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: can't even get my hands on one of these. It 674 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: was kind of like a the Molly May doco where 675 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: she went through the drive through and to get coffees, 676 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: and someone's like, oh, if I'd known it was you, 677 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: I would have given it to you for free. It's like, 678 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: why she's someone that can definitely afford this now. TikToker 679 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: Jackie Alexander also got in on the action and I 680 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: have been loving her unboxing videos. With her fiance, they 681 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: lined up for two hours in Amsterdam to get their 682 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: hands on two slabs of the labooboos. They did pay 683 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: for them, I have to say. And she said that 684 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 1: she didn't realize it was such a professional sport to 685 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: actually get a labooboo. And I loved how. 686 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 2: Into it her fiance was. I think that that's true 687 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 2: love there. 688 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: I want to know what is wrong with me psychologically, 689 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: because why, after all of this, do I kind of 690 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: want one. I think I'm one of those people who 691 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: buy into the hype. I think I'd like the drama 692 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: of it all. I like not knowing which one i'd get. 693 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: I'm putting it out there. I'd like a yellow one 694 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: that is my favorite color. But then I don't want 695 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: one off marketplace because then you don't have the fun 696 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: of having the thrill of which one you're going to get. 697 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 2: I think you get. 698 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: Instant regrets as soon as you open the box. You 699 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: know what it reminds me of, like the influencers or 700 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: opening laboo boos and we're over here opening Remember when 701 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: Coles used to do those mini versions of products? Yes, you, 702 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: I'd love it. You love the surprise of it, and 703 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: you'd rip open the packet. Have I got a mini veggiemid? 704 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 2: Have I got a little butter? What was exciting about 705 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 2: them was that they were free. They were thrown in 706 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 2: with you. 707 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: It's like, I've already purchased this, but I'm getting free things, 708 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: you know what. I almost feel like we're in the 709 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: age group where it looks a bit tragic. 710 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 2: If I rocked up with a. 711 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: Lit La Boo boo on my handbag, I feel like 712 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: there'd be a lot of questions. 713 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 2: Like, you know, a lot of my friends probably be like, 714 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 2: what the fuck is that? 715 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: I just find them ugly. I understand the jelly cat train. 716 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: Jelly cats are absolutely gorgeous, so cute. It's once you 717 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: buy them, though, you don't really know what to do 718 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: with them. Though with these you can take them out 719 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: with you. I've seen a lot of influencers using them 720 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: decorations like home decour on their shelves. I find that 721 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: a bit tacky. 722 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 2: I won't do that. 723 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: It's like all those influencers that have the sunny angels 724 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: and that's really exciting, and then they're like, where do 725 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: I put these? So this is why you have a kid, 726 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: because then you can decorate your nursery with the jelly 727 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: cats or the sunny Angels. There has been a lot 728 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: of conversation online about how the la boo boo is 729 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: just proof that we are all sheep when it comes 730 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: to copying what influences and celebrities do, because a year ago, 731 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: if Joe Blow rocked up to a dinner with a 732 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: fluffy gremlin attached to their bag, people would think it 733 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: was hideous. Let's listen to one TikTok user share his 734 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: frustration about the trend. 735 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 4: If I see one more fucking la boo boo on 736 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 4: my FYP, I think I'm gonna fucking start blocking everybody. 737 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 4: I'm so sick of these fucking la booboos and can 738 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 4: everybody please get their own individual sense of style? Everybody 739 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 4: just copies everybody else. 740 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 2: I tend to agree with what this man is saying. 741 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that there has been this real rise 742 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: in a cool girl uniform and that everyone is following 743 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: the same fashion rules due to TikTok. I mean, if 744 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: I see one more person wearing an oversized blue shirt 745 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: with jeans, I think that has become the office uniform 746 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: at the moment. I think that people just want to 747 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: blend in though, and they think that if they have 748 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: these particular elements to build their outfit around that they'll 749 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: be in fashion. It makes me sad that people are 750 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: building an outfit around a fluffy key change bag. Let's 751 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: get into our Friday debrief and I've got a recommendation. 752 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: I wasn't really expecting much from this Netflix show, but 753 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: it really impressed me. So it's called Chef's Table Legends, 754 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: and it's a four part documentary about chefs that have 755 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: changed how the world eats. And the first part was 756 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: about Jamie Oliver and I forgot how much I love 757 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: Jamie Oliver. I've been watching him since his Naked Chef days. 758 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: I think we were seven or eight when we first 759 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: watched his shows. Yeah, so I didn't realize but he 760 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: was absolutely plucked from obscurity. So he was working at 761 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: this restaurant, which was like the place to be, and 762 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: he got a call saying, oh, can you in and 763 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: feel this person shift? And he rocked up and there 764 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: was a film crew there from the BBC just filming 765 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: the show. And this camera crew kept following him saying, oh, 766 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: can you explain what you're doing? So we've got this 767 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: footage of this extremely young looking Jamie Oliver I think 768 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: it was like twenty saying like, oh yeah, I'm doing this, 769 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: I'm doing that, And the next day after the show aired, 770 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: he was inundated with TV show offers. They're like, we 771 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 1: want to give your own show because he was quite 772 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: a charismatic, cool, young looking guy with his blonde, floppy hair. Well, 773 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: they wanted him to make cooking cool for men because 774 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: it was really a female dominated industry at the time. 775 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: Jimmy always said pucker, which was his cat raise. Yeah, 776 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: it was quite funny watching his show back because the 777 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: first episode he filmed, he said it was really boring. 778 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,879 Speaker 1: They got him to have his girlfriend Jules come over 779 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: and he was talking to the camera and it just 780 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: didn't seem like him. So he decided to come up 781 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,720 Speaker 1: with this style to talk off camera to the person 782 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: that was filming, and then he had all his friends 783 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 1: come over and he's like, yeah, we used to just 784 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,439 Speaker 1: get pissed and eat food and it was really fun 785 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: to me, just like come into So it was actually 786 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,359 Speaker 1: filmed in his house, it was at a studio. I'm 787 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,800 Speaker 1: actually not sure if it was his house. It looked 788 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 1: like it could be. There's that famous scene where he 789 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 1: goes down the staircase banister and it's that spiral staircase. 790 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 1: This makes me want to watch it. There's been absolutely 791 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: nothing to watch on TV at the moment. We've been 792 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: watching reruns of shows that we previously watched us. It 793 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: actually makes me want to go back and rewatch his 794 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: show fifteen and also the School Dinners one. They were 795 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: classic TV shows cause you do forget what a big 796 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,959 Speaker 1: impact he actually had on food and food education across 797 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: the UK. I didn't realize how old fifteen was as well. 798 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: I had to go and google it. It was made 799 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 1: in two thousand and two, twenty three years ago. Now 800 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: it makes you feel old. Okay, I want to talk 801 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 1: to you about my nursery because I spoke about it 802 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: a little bit on the subs, but I've got a 803 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 1: few updates. So on Saturday we dedicated the day to 804 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: removing everything from there and painting it and putting in 805 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 1: some wall paneling because the nursery has just become this 806 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: dumping room for everything. When we did our kids, everything 807 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: from the kitchen went in there. There was just so 808 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 1: many random things. Isn't that the wildest thing about becoming 809 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: a parent realizing that you actually have to use the 810 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:09,879 Speaker 1: spare bedrooms and you can't have a room. 811 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 2: To just dump crap in. 812 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: Well, I think Brannon was really sad because that was 813 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: originally our movie room, so we had a massive TV 814 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: in there, which has subsequently been removed and put in 815 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 1: another room. Yeah, that room has now become redundant because 816 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: for the next couple of months you're not gonna have 817 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,359 Speaker 1: a lot of time to watch movies. Really, I feel 818 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: like the newborn stages when you do have a bit 819 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,800 Speaker 1: of downtime to actually watch them shows whilst your kids feeding. 820 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: But anyway, I thought i'd talk about the look of 821 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: the room because you guys are giving me shit. 822 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:34,839 Speaker 2: You're calling me a beige mum. 823 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: I'm actually proud of myself for not just making this 824 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: room just basic white. I've decided to have a different 825 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: element in there. The paint color is actually called beige. Well, 826 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 1: what's a different element the beige. I was going to 827 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: just have it all white, but I've decided to put 828 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: beige on the. 829 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:49,359 Speaker 2: Walls as well. 830 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if that makes much of a difference. 831 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: Are you're also getting a green chair? Apparently that's the 832 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 1: new beige mum thing. 833 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 2: A green chair. 834 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: No, I'm not getting a green chair. I'm having a 835 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 1: white chair. I have tried to avoid green because I 836 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 1: have heard a lot of rhetoric that green is very aging. 837 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 1: As soon as people come in your house, they're like, oh, 838 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: you're an elder millennial. But anyway, everyone's been giving me 839 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 1: a shit that there's not enough fun kids things in there. 840 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,839 Speaker 2: So I thought i'd ad a pop of color. I've 841 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 2: bought this mobile for the nursery. It is so cute. 842 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 1: It's from this little business called Rommy and Me. This 843 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,839 Speaker 1: is not sponsored at all. I just came across her 844 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 1: Instagram and she makes custom mobiles basically where you can 845 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: include your dog. I saw one I really wanted to 846 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: do it, and then I saw the price tag and 847 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: I was like, holy shit, they are expensive. But I 848 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,320 Speaker 1: found a lot of mobiles expensive by the line, but 849 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 1: this one she actually makes everything from scratch. So I 850 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,399 Speaker 1: have sent in a photo of Archie and I then 851 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,400 Speaker 1: got to pick all of the different felt. 852 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,360 Speaker 2: Colors to make him up. He is going to be 853 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 2: surrounded by hot. 854 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 1: Air balloons and stars and moons and clouds, and I 855 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 1: am saying that, apart from the beige, Archie is the 856 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 1: inspiration for the room. So there's going to be a 857 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,879 Speaker 1: lot of golden a lot of I'm trying to find 858 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: a Coca Spaniel soft toy to sit in the crib 859 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,400 Speaker 1: as well. Is it at this point I tell you 860 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 1: that you don't really use a mobile that much. Yeah, well, 861 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 1: I'm not under any illusion that you do. I've heard 862 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 1: that you don't hang it over the cot, you hang 863 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 1: it over the changing matt. Yeah, but I mean I 864 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 1: just thought it brought something different to the room, another 865 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: element to the room. They are absolutely stunning mobiles, and 866 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: I can see why they are so expensive because I 867 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 1: think a lot of time and effort goes into the 868 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: Amy would know because she made her own and she's like, 869 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 1: Jula should have just bought one. Well, she offered to 870 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 1: make me one with art, and I thought I might 871 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,799 Speaker 1: just go to the experts for this one. Amy's got 872 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 1: a bit on at the moment, Tea making me a moba. 873 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 1: We're talking about Amy.
