WEBVTT - Rachel Dillon's Baby Name Slip Up 

0:00:01.240 --> 0:00:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the

0:00:04.320 --> 0:00:07.800
<v Speaker 1>hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm

0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:11.479
<v Speaker 1>Sophie Torber and coming up on today's show, Amy Girard

0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:15.120
<v Speaker 1>calls out her own family on Mother's Day. Saffron Barker's

0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:17.960
<v Speaker 1>dream trip to the US has turned into a nightmare.

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Why everyone is losing their minds over La Boo Boos

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:24.800
<v Speaker 1>and our Friday de Brief but First, Rachel Dillon has

0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>been forced to ask her followers to keep a special

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 1>secret for her. The Finnis influencer is currently thirty weeks

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 1>pregnant and accidentally let slip her son's name to her

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:38.360
<v Speaker 1>one point eight million followers on her Instagram story now Kate.

0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:41.199
<v Speaker 1>She only realized the mistake when she received an influx

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:42.599
<v Speaker 1>of messages from her followers.

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>She quickly deleted the story and wrote to her audience,

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:48.239
<v Speaker 1>I did just say his name on my story for

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>all of those who saw and message, Oops, baby brain,

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 1>But can it be our little secret? It's been a

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>name I've wanted from my boy for years, and I

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:59.280
<v Speaker 1>speak about him using his name, so it's just natural now. Fortunately,

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:01.640
<v Speaker 1>from what I've seen, people have been pretty respectful to

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Rachel's wishes. We even had a thread in our Facebook

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>group asking what's the name? And no one has given it,

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.360
<v Speaker 1>which I'm pleased to see. I'm actually shocked that no

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>one has leaked this name. It's a very pleasant surprise.

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Do we think that maybe not that many people caught

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 1>the name? Well, I think it's probably a case of

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 1>the people who twigged and heard the name and messaged

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.119
<v Speaker 1>her are probably hardcore Rachel Dylan fans and they want

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>to respect her privacy. And she put out that message saying,

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, please, can you help keep my secret? I

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>bet the Daily Mails kicking themselves that they didn't catch

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 1>this name. Yeah, I've seen a few influence of watchdog

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.120
<v Speaker 1>accounts asking did anyone catch it?

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Now?

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>While Rachel is pregnant with her first baby, she's also

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 1>a step mom to her husband, Toby Pierce's daughter, Anna.

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Anna's mum is, of course, Kayla Assinas, Toby's ex fiance

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 1>and business partner, and I have really enjoyed seeing Anna

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>and Rachel's relationship blossom on her Instagram story and it's

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>so sweet because Rachel shared a video of Anna surprising

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 1>her with a Mother's Day card where she called her

0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>her second mummy. Let's take a listen, you guess, Kelly,

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I do. Yeah, my momius the baby.

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 3>How that's very true.

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>My mom should get an award for growing a baby.

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I think they should do.

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 4>She's unique because she is my second mummy. On that's

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 4>a nic baby.

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 2>I love her focus.

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.959
<v Speaker 1>She was on the fact that Rachel gets around poo

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:42.519
<v Speaker 1>bearing it as I like to call it, with a

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 1>belly out all the time.

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 2>I just loved it.

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>The things that kids seem to focus on, well, it

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>is pretty funny because I think it's quite a novel

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 1>thing for people to see, like it's in fashion at

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the moment. But you know, a kid kind of just

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>calls it how they see it and says, oh, you

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 1>wear your tummy out all the time. When I see

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>these blossoming relationships between step parents, I sometimes wonder how

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the other parents feel. I put myself in that situation

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 1>and think, how would I feel if my future child

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 1>referred to someone else as their second mom. Yeah, I'm

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>not gonna lie. When I was watching it, I was thinking, Oh,

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I wonder how I'd feel if this was Jack, And

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 1>my heart actually sank a little bit. But then You've

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 1>got to remember, it's so nice that Anna gets on

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>with their step mom. I mean, the situation would be

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 1>way worse. I mean in fairy tales you hear about

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>all these evil step moms, and I think it's actually

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.919
<v Speaker 1>so nice that we're seeing this positive step mother and

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>stepdaughter relationship playing.

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:33.399
<v Speaker 2>It's really beautiful.

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I think you'd be very relieved that your child had

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>such a positive person in their life. But for me,

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>for some reason, them calling them also their mom, I

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>would just find really triggering. The thing is you probably

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't normally have to watch it, but because Rachel has

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 1>shared it on social media, you are watching it in

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 1>real time and that interaction. That being said, Anna also

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 1>seems very close with Jay, which is Kayla's partner. I

0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 1>don't know if she refers to him as dad, but

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>it's an interesting one. She wasn't referring to Rachel as mum,

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>like she was calling her Rachel, but it just said

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>she had to fill out a worksheet for school and

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>said my second mummy, Like that's a fun fact about her.

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking forward to all of our kids going to school.

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>I want to receive some of these gifts. They're quite funny.

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:16.719
<v Speaker 1>The only thing is the kids seem to drop you

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 1>in it and point out all of your embarrassing little flaws,

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 1>all the stupid things that you.

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:22.599
<v Speaker 2>Do around the house.

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they don't sugarcoat anything.

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 3>All right. Quick. PSA for all the husbands out there,

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:34.239
<v Speaker 3>your mom can get a text message, a phone call,

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 3>but if you have a wife with kids, that's the

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 3>woman that needs to be celebrated through that day.

0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Amy Gerard has slammed her family for not celebrating her

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 1>on Mother's Day. The radio host shared an emotional post

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 1>saying she felt unappreciated and undervalued. Kate, before we get

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.359
<v Speaker 1>into it, for those not familiar with Amy, can you

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.839
<v Speaker 1>give us a bit of background. Tem Me actually started

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.599
<v Speaker 1>out on social media, documenting her journey with motherhood on Instagram.

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Is that a fancy way of saying that she's a

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.040
<v Speaker 1>mummy blogger? Because I know the term mummy blogger is

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 1>very frowned upon it the moment we get nervous to

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.480
<v Speaker 1>use that. Yeah, it is a term that we're trying

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 1>to retire at the moment. So her audience began to

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 1>grow as she shared her honest and sometimes comedic take

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.160
<v Speaker 1>on parenting. She now has one hundred and fifty six

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 1>thousand followers and released a memoir, host two podcasts, created

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.480
<v Speaker 1>a wine company, and, as you said in the intro,

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 1>has become a weekend radio host on Kiss FM.

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:30.919
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.160
<v Speaker 1>On Mother's Day, Amy shared a photo of clouds over

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 1>a river at dusk with the caption nothing quite like

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:41.599
<v Speaker 1>Mother's Day to really highlight how underappreciated and undervalued you

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 1>are one day and not a single person in my

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>family could make it special. I'm flying to Paris next year.

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.919
<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine being her husband and opening up Instagram

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>and seeing this, You'd be like, I have fucked up. Oh,

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.360
<v Speaker 1>your stomach would absolutely drop because not only are your

0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>family and friends seeing this, but over a one hundred and

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>fifty six thousand people on Instagram who were judging you

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:04.479
<v Speaker 1>for not doing anything. And you just know, in this

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.559
<v Speaker 1>day and age, there's going to be think pieces written

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:08.600
<v Speaker 1>about it, It's going to be spoken about a lot,

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 1>and there's probably going to be a big argument at home.

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 1>And also the fact that she now is a radio host. Yeah,

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.119
<v Speaker 1>this is going to be your topic on her radio show.

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 1>It's also awkward because this year and we've spoken about

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 1>it with our friends I've seen this real shift of

0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the way that people are celebrating Mother's Day, particularly on

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 1>social media. When I woke up, there were a lot

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.680
<v Speaker 1>of mothers who were almost celebrating themselves, which I thought

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:32.479
<v Speaker 1>was quite nice. Like they were marking it with a

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 1>post of them and their children saying that, you know,

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.839
<v Speaker 1>thank you for making me a mom and sharing the

0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:39.800
<v Speaker 1>highlights of their motherhood journey.

0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, which I haven't seen before.

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it seemed like you had to wish everyone a

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 1>happy Mother's Day, like your friends who are mums, and

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 1>your mother in law and your mom, and like it's

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.279
<v Speaker 1>not just because I think the day is about your

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.240
<v Speaker 1>mom and your relationship with your mom. And then also

0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.479
<v Speaker 1>if you're a mother, your kid showing you some appreciation. Yeah,

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean the shops must be loving it. Because I

0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 1>don't know where this concept of having to buy other

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 1>mom's presence came from.

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:01.840
<v Speaker 2>I felt so terrible.

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.120
<v Speaker 1>My sister in law bought me this beautiful little jumpsuit

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>for our baby and was saying, oh, you know, even

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.800
<v Speaker 1>though you haven't had the baby yet, happy first Mother's Day.

0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 1>And I just felt like an asshole because I didn't

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>buy her anything. I was like, I didn't know this

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.239
<v Speaker 1>was a thing. Well, I mean, yeah, we were talking

0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 1>about I think it was on a subs episode. How

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 1>it was contentious whether you get someone who's pregnant a

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Mother's Day gift or not. They have to wait till

0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 1>they have had the baby.

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 2>You feel like Brownon was scared here.

0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 1>When I woke up, he prepared me my favorite breakfast,

0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 1>very basic, which was Antella mon toast.

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.240
<v Speaker 2>He brought me some air pods.

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I take it back by the gift, and he also

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 1>had a card because he knows that I love cards.

0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 1>And he had a message from our unborn son Archie

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 1>and also himself in there. And it did see because

0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 1>your husband and Amy's husband they both put up these

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 1>beautiful posts for your first Mother's Day with the carousela

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:49.600
<v Speaker 1>photos and he's like, do you want me it a

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 1>social media posts? I was like, no, that's fine. Well

0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 1>my husband also got the memo. I was very spoilt

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>and very grateful for all the effort that he put in.

0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I definitely didn't have the same situation as ab Grard.

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 1>So the next day she went on to her Instagram

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 1>story to provide a bit more context. So talking to

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 1>the camera, she explained that she's low maintenance and doesn't

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:13.280
<v Speaker 1>ask for much or expect gifts. However, she said she

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 1>was hoping for a cup of tea or breakfast in

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 1>bed and got neither.

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Instead.

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 1>She said that she did countless loads of washing, rake

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 1>the lawn, and broke up arguments between her kids. She

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:26.760
<v Speaker 1>went on to say it was her fault for thinking

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 1>things would be different on other's day. Here's more of

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 1>what she said.

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:32.560
<v Speaker 3>And so I.

0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Basically just.

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Got on with my day and I was just whatever.

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.079
<v Speaker 1>And then towards the afternoon, I don't know, Bobby and

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Kobe were off.

0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:49.200
<v Speaker 3>So like demonic children, and they were just.

0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Like taking in turns to go me. And then I

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 1>think at like three point thirty, I was like.

0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:58.800
<v Speaker 3>This and I just got my keys.

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.319
<v Speaker 1>I feel like having breakfast in bed supplied for you

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.320
<v Speaker 1>is the bare minimum when you've got kids who live

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 1>at home. I remember being in my twenties and still

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 1>making pancakes for Mum on the morning of Mother's Day.

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that there's any excuse here. I also

0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:19.079
<v Speaker 1>think that it comes down to the father setting the

0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 1>agenda for the day and saying, hey, we're going to

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 1>get up early. We're going to make mums and breakfast

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:24.560
<v Speaker 1>and let's plan a nice day for her.

0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 2>I do feel a bit.

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Uncomfortable how she said their kids were off their effing

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.080
<v Speaker 1>tits and they were demonic, like.

0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 2>They much lay bad.

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 1>But I mean their primary school age children. I think

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:35.679
<v Speaker 1>her oldest one is ten and the others are a

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>little bit younger. Maybe she thought this was relatable though,

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 1>because we were seeing, as I said before, just all

0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>of the beautiful moments of motherhood being shared on Instagram

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:48.319
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday, whereas no one was really suing the reality. Well,

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad that we've got a bit of reality on

0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Mother's Day. Yeah, I mean, as an influencer, it was

0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.199
<v Speaker 1>nice to actually, you know, see that her day wasn't perfect.

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 1>And I think obviously we're seeing a lot of highlight

0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.079
<v Speaker 1>reels from the day. I think she must have gone

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 1>online started comparing her day to everyone else's in it

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.679
<v Speaker 1>just the rage would have built up and built up.

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.599
<v Speaker 1>I mean. The response was mixed. Amy said that she

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 1>was flooded with sympathetic messages from her followers. She said

0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:16.080
<v Speaker 1>she received two thousand replies to her story from other mums,

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 1>saying that they also felt like pieces of shit.

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 2>On Mother's Day, which is so sad.

0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.199
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's what I hate about social media because in

0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 1>this day and age, you can compare and see what

0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.920
<v Speaker 1>other people's partners and kids have done for them and

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>instantly think, well, why haven't I had the same treatment.

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.079
<v Speaker 1>I just think it made me feel uncomfortable that she

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.319
<v Speaker 1>specifically named her children and called them out. I do

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.559
<v Speaker 1>think the message should have been directed.

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.000
<v Speaker 2>At her husband. I mean, the kids are young.

0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:42.319
<v Speaker 1>Yes, they could have behaved, but it's up to the

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.200
<v Speaker 1>partner to facilitate breakfast in bed in a present. I mean,

0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 1>don't schools do cards and stuff like that we're talking

0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 1>about Rachel Dlon got a card.

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, talking about.

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Mother's Day cards, did you see the one that rocks

0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.960
<v Speaker 1>in ankhost daughter Pixie curtis right for her. I'm still

0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.040
<v Speaker 1>in shock over this one because she took a photo

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 1>of the message in the card, and one line that

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.839
<v Speaker 1>stood out to me was I will miss you so

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.640
<v Speaker 1>so so much when I go to Switzerland. Who will

0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>tell you to go ten because the UV is high.

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Now Roxy and her family they're currently living in Singapore,

0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 1>and just like Australia, the UV is very high there.

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:18.680
<v Speaker 2>The really disturbing thing.

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 1>About this that people may not realize is that Roxy

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.839
<v Speaker 1>and her daughter are both natural redheads. They have very

0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 1>pale skin, type one skin. So the fact that Roxy

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.760
<v Speaker 1>has been pushing this as a normal message to her

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 1>daughter is quite concerning.

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:31.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, redheads are significantly more prone to skin cancer, particularly melanoma.

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 1>In fact, their risk of melanoma is ten to one

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.800
<v Speaker 1>hundred times higher than those without red hair.

0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 2>So fuck it gets me worried.

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 4>We're going to the Yes, come on to road it

0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 4>with us.

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness, I've already been freaking out because they've

0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:55.599
<v Speaker 1>just given us our dream car to drive. UK influencers.

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Saffron Barker's dream trip to the US with her boyfriend

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Josh Milne has turned into a nightmare. The couple are

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:05.120
<v Speaker 1>now stranded in the States after their passports were stolen

0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.920
<v Speaker 1>from the boot of their rental car. Sophie, it sounds

0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 1>like it's been the holiday from hell. Why did I

0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:13.079
<v Speaker 1>get Matt Lucas's voice in my head? With Saffron also

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.840
<v Speaker 1>being hospitalized, Yeah, it really seems to be one thing

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.800
<v Speaker 1>after the other on this trip. It was the first

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.880
<v Speaker 1>time that Saffron was traveling to the US with her

0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:21.959
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend and the third time this year, though well the

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:23.719
<v Speaker 1>third time for her first time with her and a

0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:24.440
<v Speaker 1>new boyfriend.

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:24.920
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Saffron shared an Instagram story of her sitting in a

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:31.720
<v Speaker 1>very fancy dentist chair and her eyes looked incredibly puffy,

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.199
<v Speaker 1>like she'd been crying, and she was holding onto this

0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.840
<v Speaker 1>stuffed toy rat Now. The caption read, in the last week,

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I have been in hospital, had emergency surgery, got my

0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:44.520
<v Speaker 1>rental car completely smashed up, and every single thing I

0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>own stolen, including my passport, so I can't get home.

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.559
<v Speaker 1>When I saw this, I immediately sent it to you

0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 1>because I was like, fuck, what is going on?

0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, she looked.

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Completely broken, and the post generated a lot of confusion

0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.640
<v Speaker 1>because Saffron has been in the US for a few

0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.840
<v Speaker 1>weeks now on a brand shoot, and she also attended

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.719
<v Speaker 1>Stage Coach with her sister in law, and one of

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.360
<v Speaker 1>the big reasons that she is also in the US

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.280
<v Speaker 1>is to get her teeth fixed. We spoke about this

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.400
<v Speaker 1>in depth on the Subs episode because for the past

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 1>year she has been trolled and ridiculed about her veneers.

0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 1>So she opened up last week that she had been

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.920
<v Speaker 1>considering suing her London based dentist over them.

0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because she previously.

0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Tried in Visilne, which I think a lot of influencers

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.679
<v Speaker 1>were doing at the time, but she hated wearing the

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.840
<v Speaker 1>plates because she's very self conscious about having a lisp

0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:32.560
<v Speaker 1>on camera.

0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.079
<v Speaker 2>So her dentist allegedly.

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Convinced her that he could make her teeth perfect by

0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.320
<v Speaker 1>adding just two veneers at the front of her smile.

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:44.079
<v Speaker 1>So the two venirs quickly turned into four and it

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.840
<v Speaker 1>left her teeth looking really mismatched in colour because they

0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:50.560
<v Speaker 1>were just so white, and they also were way too

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.040
<v Speaker 1>big for her mouth. She ended up actually having to

0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.680
<v Speaker 1>go to a second local dentist who attempted to fix

0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 1>her teeth, and they ended up having to add even

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:03.480
<v Speaker 1>more veneers, which left her with this very unnatural looking smile.

0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:06.440
<v Speaker 1>The worst bit is she didn't actually update her audience

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.720
<v Speaker 1>to say she was getting veneers, so she would attract

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.480
<v Speaker 1>so many comments to like, what is going on with

0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.079
<v Speaker 1>your teeth because it made her look like a completely

0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:16.120
<v Speaker 1>different person. Yeah, so she decided that while she was

0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 1>in the US, why don't I go and fix my

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 1>teeth for a third time, So she booked herself into

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:25.280
<v Speaker 1>this celebrity dentist called doctor John Marashi, who is based

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 1>in la He's actually the man behind Lindsay Lohan's new smile.

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Last year, there were so many before and after photos

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 1>of Lindsay's circulating on TikTok, because she'd had a lot

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.760
<v Speaker 1>of really good work done, but also her teeth, because

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.280
<v Speaker 1>during those years where she was in the public eye,

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Lindsay had a drug problem which affected the way her

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 1>teeth looked, and everyone was saying, oh my god, she

0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:47.480
<v Speaker 1>looks so much better with these new veniers.

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:48.360
<v Speaker 2>They're very natural.

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.160
<v Speaker 1>It's because her teeth actually look like what they used

0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.360
<v Speaker 1>to look like, and I think that was shaped to them. Yeah,

0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.160
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's where a lot of influencers and

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.760
<v Speaker 1>celebrities have gone wrong. They've all jumped on this bandwagon

0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.520
<v Speaker 1>and got these big white, fake veneers and I think

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.200
<v Speaker 1>we're going to see a lot of people reversing them

0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 1>to much more natural looking teeth now. Saffron's post led

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 1>many people to speculate that maybe she'd been unlucky again

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 1>and had medical complications due to her third set of veneers,

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:15.280
<v Speaker 1>because again, this photo was taken of her at the

0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.560
<v Speaker 1>dentists all like she was speaking about having this terrible

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.000
<v Speaker 1>time at the dentist, you were following the speculation. The

0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.560
<v Speaker 1>next day, Saffron shared a post gushing about her new

0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.160
<v Speaker 1>teeth so. She wrote, after all the dramas I've had

0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.840
<v Speaker 1>this trip, there's been a lot, I'm still smiling because

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 1>of the incredible work doctor John has done to transform

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.880
<v Speaker 1>my smile back to being mine again. After having such

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 1>bad experience with dental work in the past, I was

0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 1>honestly scarred and didn't think I'd ever be able to

0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 1>sit in a dentist's chair again. But then I met John,

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.520
<v Speaker 1>who completely changed that. There are some people in life

0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, are just special people, and this man has

0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.960
<v Speaker 1>proved that and given me faith back in humanity. Thank you,

0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:53.400
<v Speaker 1>doctor John. Your understanding, care and attention in and out

0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:57.120
<v Speaker 1>of office hours are beyond any expectation. I'll be eternally

0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.520
<v Speaker 1>grateful for your kindness. It's definitely a bit of a

0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.600
<v Speaker 1>back pet there. I feel like his team saw her

0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Instagram story of her sitting inconsolable in his chair and

0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 1>were like, clear this up immediately because this is a

0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:13.000
<v Speaker 1>very gushy post. The fact that she said he's restored

0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.440
<v Speaker 1>her faith in humanity. I mean that's a massive call.

0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:15.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, it also makes me feel like the dental work

0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.640
<v Speaker 1>must have been gifted, because why else is she doing

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:23.560
<v Speaker 1>a post about it and showing off his work.

0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:24.720
<v Speaker 2>And saying how fantastic he is.

0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Or it could be a case that he was so

0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.320
<v Speaker 1>pissed off that it looked like she was inferring things

0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 1>had gone wrong that she had to post this to

0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of smooth things over with him, or anyone can

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.200
<v Speaker 1>see looking at the photos that her teeth look a

0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.880
<v Speaker 1>million times better. They look so much more natural. They

0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:40.360
<v Speaker 1>have this really nice shape to them, because before her

0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:42.680
<v Speaker 1>teeth just sort of they just went in one line

0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:43.920
<v Speaker 1>and they were all the same size.

0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:45.240
<v Speaker 2>They just looked so unnatural.

0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.400
<v Speaker 1>She looks so much younger as well. Yeah, she looks

0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:51.960
<v Speaker 1>more like herself now. Saffron has still kept her followers

0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:56.120
<v Speaker 1>in the dark about what this medical emergency actually was,

0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:59.320
<v Speaker 1>and many people have accused her of clickbaiting the story

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:03.000
<v Speaker 1>to be anticipation for when she does a full storytime

0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.920
<v Speaker 1>on a YouTube channel. She did open up, though, on

0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.639
<v Speaker 1>TikTok about her rental car being robs so in a

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:10.760
<v Speaker 1>post on TikTok, she shared a video of her and

0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.520
<v Speaker 1>her boyfriend Josh singing in the car on their way

0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.080
<v Speaker 1>to Las Vegas and wrote, they don't know it yet,

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.760
<v Speaker 1>but in two hours time into their dream road trip,

0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:21.520
<v Speaker 1>they'll end up getting their rental cars smashed up and

0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:25.440
<v Speaker 1>everything they had with them stolen, including their passports. She

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:27.680
<v Speaker 1>then followed it up with a vlog of their road

0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.159
<v Speaker 1>trip a day later. So, Josh had met up with

0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Saffron in La just days before, and they'd planned to

0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:35.200
<v Speaker 1>do a four hour road trip.

0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:35.879
<v Speaker 2>To Las Vegas.

0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:39.000
<v Speaker 1>And it was pretty awkward because in the opening scenes

0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:42.160
<v Speaker 1>of this TikTok vlog, Saffron said she was so excited

0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:45.000
<v Speaker 1>because the rental company had given them their dream car,

0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:47.080
<v Speaker 1>and she felt as though they had a lot of

0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:49.760
<v Speaker 1>luck on their side that morning, looking by the full

0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.960
<v Speaker 1>shadowing Yeah. Josh then spoke about being nervous driving the

0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.879
<v Speaker 1>car because he hadn't driven in the US before and

0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:58.560
<v Speaker 1>that he had very precious cargo so he wanted to

0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:01.440
<v Speaker 1>be very safe now. The car in question was a

0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:03.520
<v Speaker 1>white Jeep, and I feel like they looked very much

0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 1>like Ken and Barbie in this car. I feel like

0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:07.879
<v Speaker 1>it would have attracted a lot of attention. So they

0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.520
<v Speaker 1>ended up stopping at a seven eleven for hot dogs

0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:13.400
<v Speaker 1>and cokes, and then hours later stopped at a fifties

0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:16.879
<v Speaker 1>diner called Peggy Sues, and so Fron spoke about how

0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.199
<v Speaker 1>it was really nostalgic for her because that's where her

0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:21.720
<v Speaker 1>and her family stopped for the first time they drove

0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.960
<v Speaker 1>to Las Vegas. Now, the diner, as Saffron pointed out,

0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 1>was in the middle of nowhere, and the couple left

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.320
<v Speaker 1>their suitcases in the back and went inside for lunch.

0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I want to point out that this was in the

0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 1>middle of the day, so broad daylight. Yeah. Now, when

0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.960
<v Speaker 1>they returned to their car, they found the back window

0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:42.480
<v Speaker 1>had been completely smashed in and their suitcases were gone,

0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:45.560
<v Speaker 1>and Saffron was in tears, explaining that her medication had

0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:48.760
<v Speaker 1>been stolen and everything else in the car was gone.

0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:50.840
<v Speaker 1>What medication, Because there's been a lot of question marks

0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:53.080
<v Speaker 1>of her, whether she's on her zen pick. Well, surely

0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:55.520
<v Speaker 1>she wouldn't include that in the vlog if she was

0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:56.600
<v Speaker 1>referring to its empic.

0:18:57.320 --> 0:18:59.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. It just makes me think because people

0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:00.960
<v Speaker 2>have said they've spot in her fridge.

0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:04.119
<v Speaker 1>Oh really, Yeah, that thought did cross my mind. But

0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:06.520
<v Speaker 1>then I also remember the fact that she had been

0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:09.720
<v Speaker 1>rushed in for emergency surgery, so maybe the medication was

0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.879
<v Speaker 1>related to that. Assumed the emergency surgery was after this incident,

0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:15.479
<v Speaker 1>but who knows. We need more details, so we need

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:18.479
<v Speaker 1>the story time. The thing is, there was quite an

0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:20.760
<v Speaker 1>outpouring of sympathy for Saffron. A lot of people felt

0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.000
<v Speaker 1>bad for her and Josh, but there were also a

0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:25.920
<v Speaker 1>number of people who blamed the couple for leaving their

0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.800
<v Speaker 1>passports in the car. One user wrope, but who leaves

0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:31.480
<v Speaker 1>their passports in a car whilst on holiday? And Saffron

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.119
<v Speaker 1>actually responded to that post saying anyone who was driving

0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:37.400
<v Speaker 1>from one state to another now. Another user agreed, saying

0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:39.680
<v Speaker 1>why leave important things in the car? Always keep it

0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.639
<v Speaker 1>on you. She responded again, saying you expect us to

0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:45.359
<v Speaker 1>take four suitcases and two duffels with us into a

0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:48.399
<v Speaker 1>restaurant we was in. Sorry, that just sounds like a

0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:51.879
<v Speaker 1>for thirty minutes. It's easier said than done. There's not

0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:54.560
<v Speaker 1>a victim blaming going on. I mean, I am surprised

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.960
<v Speaker 1>that you wouldn't probably put your passport in your handbag

0:19:58.000 --> 0:19:59.480
<v Speaker 1>and bring it in, But all the other things, like

0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:02.040
<v Speaker 1>she's had everything stolen from them. Also, when I saw

0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:04.280
<v Speaker 1>that this robbery had taken place in the middle of

0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:07.119
<v Speaker 1>the day outside a diner where there are a lot

0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:09.640
<v Speaker 1>of people walking in and out, I was quite surprised,

0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Like you would you would think that your stuff was

0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:14.080
<v Speaker 1>safe in the back of your car, But it sounds

0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:15.800
<v Speaker 1>like they were being pretty flashy, like they've got this

0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:19.080
<v Speaker 1>flash car. They're, you know, attractive couple. They were obviously

0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:21.400
<v Speaker 1>catching a lot of attention, and some locals gone, oh,

0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to robble their expensive belongings. Well, I hope

0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:26.800
<v Speaker 1>they didn't take a camera because I really want to

0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:29.560
<v Speaker 1>see this trip unfold. She probably was vlogging in the diner,

0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:33.119
<v Speaker 1>so it's probably hopefully well. One TikTok user wrote in

0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:35.439
<v Speaker 1>the comments that the exact same thing happened to them

0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:38.840
<v Speaker 1>recently in San Francisco, and they warned that rental cars

0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:42.199
<v Speaker 1>can become a target in the US because generally they

0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:44.720
<v Speaker 1>have a different states license played on them, so it's

0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:48.120
<v Speaker 1>very obvious that people are probably carrying luggage around on traveling.

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I feel like this would be quite triggering for Saffron

0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:53.800
<v Speaker 1>because back in twenty nineteen, her family home was burgled

0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:56.159
<v Speaker 1>while she and her family were asleep inside, so her

0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:59.600
<v Speaker 1>brother Jed woke up to find one of the intruders.

0:20:59.160 --> 0:20:59.760
<v Speaker 2>In his room.

0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll be so terrifying, and he mistakenly thought it was

0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:06.440
<v Speaker 1>a family member and went back to sleep. Gosh, that

0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.840
<v Speaker 1>is terrifying. The intruders ended up stealing their cars as

0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:12.359
<v Speaker 1>well as a number of possessions inside their home, so

0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:16.120
<v Speaker 1>this incident would have really triggered and brought back those

0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:17.240
<v Speaker 1>emotions for Saffron.

0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:19.520
<v Speaker 4>Someone please explain this to me.

0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Why I'm in my thirties and I'm contemplating buying a

0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:24.880
<v Speaker 1>little gremlin toy?

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:25.879
<v Speaker 4>Is that what they even are?

0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:26.320
<v Speaker 3>Like?

0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Why do I want a Labooboo?

0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Why do I need one? The new girl trinket toy

0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:35.880
<v Speaker 1>has arrived on Ossie Shores. Forget jellycats and sunny angels,

0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:38.920
<v Speaker 1>A fluffy monster bag charm called a Laboo Boo is

0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 1>being heralded as the epitome of chic. The craze has

0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:45.680
<v Speaker 1>taken hold in Australia, with hundreds lining up overnight to

0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:49.280
<v Speaker 1>get their hands on the in demand monster plushies. While

0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:51.879
<v Speaker 1>many have bought into the craze, others say this is

0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:55.760
<v Speaker 1>proof we're just sheep who copy influences every move, so

0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:59.040
<v Speaker 1>why do I already know people like you are the

0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:02.520
<v Speaker 1>target market. Look, I don't actually own a Laboo Boo yet,

0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:05.119
<v Speaker 1>but I feel like by the end of this episode,

0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to convince myself that I need one, because

0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:12.320
<v Speaker 1>I have literally engaged with one laboobouo video on TikTok

0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:15.400
<v Speaker 1>and now my whole feed is full of influencers doing

0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:17.800
<v Speaker 1>unboxing videos of them. I've got to admit I had

0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:20.520
<v Speaker 1>no idea what a laboo boo was for. You brought

0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:23.159
<v Speaker 1>it up for those people in the same camp as me.

0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:23.800
<v Speaker 3>What is it?

0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, gen Zetters have actually been doing God's work across TikTok,

0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:32.119
<v Speaker 1>and they've been kindly creating videos educating elder millennials about

0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:34.200
<v Speaker 1>what they are and why we need one.

0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:36.600
<v Speaker 2>And we're not elder millennials. I'm saying we are.

0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying if there's any elder millennials who are listening,

0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:41.399
<v Speaker 1>because again they might be in the same camp of

0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:43.840
<v Speaker 1>UK and have never heard of them. I first want

0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:46.600
<v Speaker 1>to describe what they looked like, because when I first

0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:48.840
<v Speaker 1>saw them, I thought it was just a fluffy bunny

0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:51.680
<v Speaker 1>on a key chain, but a Labooboo is actually a

0:22:51.800 --> 0:22:55.159
<v Speaker 1>fictional character that was created in twenty fifteen by a

0:22:55.240 --> 0:22:58.879
<v Speaker 1>Hong Kong artist called Casing Long, and they actually appeared

0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:00.400
<v Speaker 1>in his book called The Mom Monsters.

0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:00.959
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:04.480
<v Speaker 1>He based them off his love of Nordic folklore, and

0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:08.960
<v Speaker 1>they're known for having their fairy bodies, pointed ears, sharp teeth,

0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:12.560
<v Speaker 1>and also wide eyes. And some TikTokers are going as

0:23:12.640 --> 0:23:15.880
<v Speaker 1>far as describing the La Boobuo as works of art,

0:23:16.320 --> 0:23:18.920
<v Speaker 1>while others say that they bear a striking resemblance to

0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:21.520
<v Speaker 1>the characters in the Where the Wild Things Are books. Oh,

0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:23.760
<v Speaker 1>that book takes me back. Our grandparents used to have

0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:25.360
<v Speaker 1>it at their house and I got it for Jack.

0:23:25.480 --> 0:23:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Well.

0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:28.480
<v Speaker 1>People are saying on TikTok that millennials will probably get

0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:30.600
<v Speaker 1>into this trend soon because of the connection that they

0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:32.480
<v Speaker 1>have with the Where the Wild Things Are book. It

0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:33.919
<v Speaker 1>kind of reminds me of back in the day when

0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:35.879
<v Speaker 1>we used to have about ten different key rings and

0:23:35.960 --> 0:23:38.840
<v Speaker 1>our keys. Okay, they're actually worn on bags, so they're

0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:40.719
<v Speaker 1>known as a bag charm, which is a whole nother

0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:44.880
<v Speaker 1>element to this story. Now, this character became so popular

0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:48.240
<v Speaker 1>in the Chinese kids' books that the designer decided to

0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:51.280
<v Speaker 1>take his work and create them into key chains, and

0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:54.880
<v Speaker 1>in twenty nineteen, he struck up an exclusive license agreement

0:23:54.960 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 1>with PopMart, which is a toy company in Beijing which

0:23:58.320 --> 0:24:01.199
<v Speaker 1>is known for selling knick knacks and color so they

0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:03.560
<v Speaker 1>are the only place still that you can officially buy

0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:05.879
<v Speaker 1>them from. So if they're kids toys, then why is

0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:08.439
<v Speaker 1>every influencer now sporting one on their bag. Well, it's

0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:11.600
<v Speaker 1>really down to Rihanna and a couple of big celebrities

0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:14.960
<v Speaker 1>because they really took off after Rihanna was spotted with

0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:18.360
<v Speaker 1>a pink laboo boo on her handbag and you cannot

0:24:18.480 --> 0:24:23.080
<v Speaker 1>find this pink labooboo anywhere now. Also K pop singer Lisa,

0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:25.840
<v Speaker 1>who appeared on the recent series of White Lotus. She

0:24:26.080 --> 0:24:28.919
<v Speaker 1>is also behind the rise in popularity because she started

0:24:28.960 --> 0:24:34.640
<v Speaker 1>posting about her collection on TikTok and instantly the sales surged. Recently,

0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:37.560
<v Speaker 1>we've even seen NBA players getting into the craze, so

0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:40.280
<v Speaker 1>they're wearing them clipped onto their pants when they rock

0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:42.960
<v Speaker 1>up for game days. It's it's fucking wild. I just

0:24:43.000 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 1>don't get it. I think they're extremely ugly and I'd

0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:47.600
<v Speaker 1>hate to have something hanging off my bag. I don't

0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:49.919
<v Speaker 1>know if we fall into the age group that's all

0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:52.040
<v Speaker 1>about them. I really think that they're for jen Zetas.

0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:54.360
<v Speaker 1>The thing that is pretty wild is that you can't

0:24:54.400 --> 0:24:56.600
<v Speaker 1>even get your hands on these things. You have to

0:24:56.720 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 1>physically wait until a NU draw is it PopMart, and

0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:04.440
<v Speaker 1>you have to physically line up in person to get them, because,

0:25:04.480 --> 0:25:07.439
<v Speaker 1>as I said, PopMart is the only place the stocks

0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:08.240
<v Speaker 1>these key chains.

0:25:08.320 --> 0:25:09.359
<v Speaker 2>So where is the popmark?

0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Do we have on an Adelaide? I've never heard of

0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:12.640
<v Speaker 1>it before. I don't think we have one in Adelaide.

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:15.560
<v Speaker 1>There is one in Sydney and recently there were people

0:25:15.680 --> 0:25:19.159
<v Speaker 1>queuing up overnight on Pitt Street, despite the fact that

0:25:19.200 --> 0:25:21.480
<v Speaker 1>there were these strong weather warnings in place, just to

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:23.160
<v Speaker 1>get their hands on the next drop.

0:25:23.320 --> 0:25:23.960
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty clever.

0:25:24.080 --> 0:25:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Making them only available in person adds to that exclusivity.

0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:28.480
<v Speaker 2>I want to cut in.

0:25:28.560 --> 0:25:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I think you can also get them online though through

0:25:30.720 --> 0:25:34.320
<v Speaker 1>resellers the whole other game. Yeah, But the genius behind

0:25:34.480 --> 0:25:37.760
<v Speaker 1>it is this blind box element, similar to the sunny

0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:41.159
<v Speaker 1>Angels you see popping up on TikTok. So it's basically

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:44.440
<v Speaker 1>like a modern day Lucky Dip. So the idea is

0:25:45.119 --> 0:25:47.720
<v Speaker 1>you buy a Laboo Boo in this sealed box and

0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:49.520
<v Speaker 1>you don't know which one you're going to get, so

0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:53.320
<v Speaker 1>it's a collectible. And there's basically rare ones which are

0:25:53.400 --> 0:25:57.159
<v Speaker 1>known as secret Laboo Boo so they've got special colorways

0:25:57.200 --> 0:25:59.680
<v Speaker 1>and they're worth a lot of money and it also

0:25:59.760 --> 0:26:02.520
<v Speaker 1>gives with status if you've got one of these special ones.

0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:05.800
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty crazy because the Australian blind box market is

0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:08.840
<v Speaker 1>estimated to be worth one hundred and seventy million dollars

0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:12.360
<v Speaker 1>and I really think it's because it plays into us

0:26:12.800 --> 0:26:16.440
<v Speaker 1>almost revisiting our childhood and getting that excitement. It's almost

0:26:16.520 --> 0:26:19.720
<v Speaker 1>like gambling. So when you say the Australian blind box market,

0:26:20.440 --> 0:26:22.520
<v Speaker 1>are there are other companies other than Sunny Angels on

0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:24.800
<v Speaker 1>the Booboo doing blind boxes. Yeah, well there's a lot

0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:27.399
<v Speaker 1>of collectibles that play on this idea of which one

0:26:27.440 --> 0:26:30.520
<v Speaker 1>are you going to get? See. I remember absolutely begging

0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:32.119
<v Speaker 1>Mum and dad to do a lucky dip and you

0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:34.200
<v Speaker 1>will always disappointed.

0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:35.080
<v Speaker 2>With what you got in there.

0:26:35.200 --> 0:26:37.919
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think the whole blind box concept was literally

0:26:38.040 --> 0:26:41.240
<v Speaker 1>designed for TikTok because you can share with your followers

0:26:41.320 --> 0:26:42.199
<v Speaker 1>the theater of it all.

0:26:42.560 --> 0:26:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Because with these La Boo boos.

0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:47.560
<v Speaker 1>You pop open the box and there's the tearing of

0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:50.960
<v Speaker 1>the packet and then you can share your excitement or disappointment,

0:26:51.000 --> 0:26:53.840
<v Speaker 1>and then those videos have the potential to go viral,

0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:56.800
<v Speaker 1>particularly if you get one of the secret La Boo boos.

0:26:56.960 --> 0:27:00.800
<v Speaker 1>And on TikTok jen zetters have described as similar to

0:27:00.880 --> 0:27:04.760
<v Speaker 1>gambling and getting this serotonin rush when they unbox the labooboo,

0:27:04.840 --> 0:27:07.600
<v Speaker 1>So there's a lot of psychology behind it. Oh yeah,

0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:10.760
<v Speaker 1>These labooboos are in such demand the popmar are now

0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:12.639
<v Speaker 1>selling them in slabs, so you can get a slab

0:27:12.720 --> 0:27:15.159
<v Speaker 1>of six or a slab of twelve, and in the

0:27:15.240 --> 0:27:17.720
<v Speaker 1>slabs you're guaranteed to get one of each color and

0:27:17.920 --> 0:27:20.560
<v Speaker 1>no double ups. It seems to be the cheaper way

0:27:20.680 --> 0:27:23.200
<v Speaker 1>to buy them and the most efficient way to actually

0:27:23.240 --> 0:27:25.200
<v Speaker 1>get one of the colors that you want. There's also

0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:28.360
<v Speaker 1>a one in seventy two chance of getting a secret laboobo,

0:27:28.400 --> 0:27:31.080
<v Speaker 1>which again are the rare Laboo boos, so you do

0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:33.520
<v Speaker 1>increase your chances by buying them in the slab.

0:27:33.840 --> 0:27:34.760
<v Speaker 2>There are varying.

0:27:34.600 --> 0:27:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Reports of how much labooboos actually cost. Because I had

0:27:38.040 --> 0:27:41.200
<v Speaker 1>a look on the PopMart website and one blind box,

0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:44.920
<v Speaker 1>so that is just for one labooboo costs seventy two

0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:48.040
<v Speaker 1>dollars Australian dollars, yes, and think, God, what the hell?

0:27:48.200 --> 0:27:51.720
<v Speaker 1>And the slabs depend on what series you're buying. So

0:27:52.160 --> 0:27:55.040
<v Speaker 1>on the website there were blind boxes which had six

0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:57.760
<v Speaker 1>labooboos in them and they ranged from four hundred and

0:27:57.880 --> 0:28:00.639
<v Speaker 1>fifty dollars to five hundred and five fifty dollars.

0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:03.119
<v Speaker 2>You can also individually buy.

0:28:03.080 --> 0:28:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Ones with special outfits, so these aren't the blind box ones.

0:28:05.960 --> 0:28:08.400
<v Speaker 1>They're actually ones you specifically choose and they arrange from

0:28:08.640 --> 0:28:11.560
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and ninety nine dollars to four hundred and

0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:15.920
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine dollars. So these little, cheap, fluffy key chains

0:28:15.920 --> 0:28:19.280
<v Speaker 1>are literally being seen as these signs of wealth, even

0:28:19.359 --> 0:28:20.160
<v Speaker 1>though they look a bit.

0:28:20.160 --> 0:28:22.399
<v Speaker 2>Tacky hanging from your back. God, who the hell is

0:28:22.440 --> 0:28:22.920
<v Speaker 2>affording this?

0:28:23.040 --> 0:28:24.920
<v Speaker 1>In this cost of sales crists are like, oh, yep,

0:28:24.960 --> 0:28:26.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll just get a slab of six. That's probably what

0:28:27.040 --> 0:28:29.080
<v Speaker 1>my rent is going to cost this week, but oh well, well.

0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:32.760
<v Speaker 1>There are tons of resellers popping up on Facebook market Place,

0:28:32.920 --> 0:28:34.880
<v Speaker 1>and I think it's purely for the fact that people

0:28:34.920 --> 0:28:37.600
<v Speaker 1>are buying whole slabs of them purely to get the

0:28:37.680 --> 0:28:40.040
<v Speaker 1>one color that they want, and then they're like, oh fuck,

0:28:40.080 --> 0:28:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I've got no use for these other ones that I'm

0:28:41.880 --> 0:28:45.440
<v Speaker 1>not interested in. There's also a jupe market that's popped up,

0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:48.760
<v Speaker 1>so they're called lafufous. They're a lot cheaper. I'd afer

0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:50.840
<v Speaker 1>the name lafufu because there are so.

0:28:50.920 --> 0:28:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Many dupes popping up.

0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 1>There's been a lot of tiktoks created about how you

0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:57.160
<v Speaker 1>can decipher if you're La Booboo Israel or fake. And

0:28:57.280 --> 0:28:59.960
<v Speaker 1>they actually have QR codes on their tags and also

0:29:00.120 --> 0:29:03.080
<v Speaker 1>the boxes so you can go on the website type it.

0:29:03.120 --> 0:29:05.800
<v Speaker 2>In to make sure that it's actually real, which is

0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:06.480
<v Speaker 2>just wild.

0:29:06.680 --> 0:29:08.400
<v Speaker 1>God to gens that does just want to be kids again?

0:29:08.600 --> 0:29:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Do they have the Internet too quickly and now they're like, Oh,

0:29:11.160 --> 0:29:13.000
<v Speaker 1>we just want to be kids. We've got our jelly cats,

0:29:13.040 --> 0:29:14.120
<v Speaker 1>We've got our laboo boos.

0:29:14.560 --> 0:29:14.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:16.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that there is this whole element of wanting

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:19.520
<v Speaker 1>to revisit your childhood. I have seen so many ouzzy

0:29:19.600 --> 0:29:22.680
<v Speaker 1>influencers getting in on this trend, and Sofa Dofa actually

0:29:22.760 --> 0:29:25.560
<v Speaker 1>received a bit of backlash because she paid for a

0:29:25.640 --> 0:29:27.640
<v Speaker 1>slab of laboo Boo. She actually managed to buy some

0:29:27.760 --> 0:29:31.920
<v Speaker 1>online and the store threw in around five more boxes

0:29:32.000 --> 0:29:35.720
<v Speaker 1>for free. Let's have a listen, La boobom boxing.

0:29:36.360 --> 0:29:37.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm so excited.

0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:46.720
<v Speaker 4>So I ordered labuboos from Waves and I, oh my god, God.

0:29:47.000 --> 0:29:49.880
<v Speaker 1>So I got two from Waves and then I saw

0:29:50.480 --> 0:29:51.520
<v Speaker 1>on my order confirmation.

0:29:52.440 --> 0:29:53.720
<v Speaker 4>I think they recognized the name.

0:29:56.040 --> 0:29:57.040
<v Speaker 3>Although added in so.

0:29:57.240 --> 0:30:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Many people were livid in this comment section.

0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:04.200
<v Speaker 1>One person wrote, I mean happy for you, but so

0:30:04.520 --> 0:30:08.000
<v Speaker 1>frustrating influencers who can afford things get things for free,

0:30:08.440 --> 0:30:11.920
<v Speaker 1>and that comment got over a thousand likes. Another wrote,

0:30:12.000 --> 0:30:14.840
<v Speaker 1>purchasing two items and getting everything else for free. I

0:30:14.960 --> 0:30:17.720
<v Speaker 1>can't even get my hands on one of these. It

0:30:17.840 --> 0:30:19.600
<v Speaker 1>was kind of like a the Molly May doco where

0:30:19.640 --> 0:30:22.200
<v Speaker 1>she went through the drive through and to get coffees,

0:30:22.200 --> 0:30:23.600
<v Speaker 1>and someone's like, oh, if I'd known it was you,

0:30:23.640 --> 0:30:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I would have given it to you for free. It's like,

0:30:25.560 --> 0:30:29.120
<v Speaker 1>why she's someone that can definitely afford this now. TikToker

0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Jackie Alexander also got in on the action and I

0:30:32.000 --> 0:30:35.520
<v Speaker 1>have been loving her unboxing videos. With her fiance, they

0:30:35.640 --> 0:30:38.200
<v Speaker 1>lined up for two hours in Amsterdam to get their

0:30:38.240 --> 0:30:40.840
<v Speaker 1>hands on two slabs of the labooboos. They did pay

0:30:40.960 --> 0:30:43.160
<v Speaker 1>for them, I have to say. And she said that

0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:46.040
<v Speaker 1>she didn't realize it was such a professional sport to

0:30:46.160 --> 0:30:48.840
<v Speaker 1>actually get a labooboo. And I loved how.

0:30:48.800 --> 0:30:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Into it her fiance was. I think that that's true

0:30:50.960 --> 0:30:51.360
<v Speaker 2>love there.

0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I want to know what is wrong with me psychologically,

0:30:54.560 --> 0:30:57.600
<v Speaker 1>because why, after all of this, do I kind of

0:30:57.640 --> 0:31:00.200
<v Speaker 1>want one. I think I'm one of those people who

0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:02.280
<v Speaker 1>buy into the hype. I think I'd like the drama

0:31:02.400 --> 0:31:04.800
<v Speaker 1>of it all. I like not knowing which one i'd get.

0:31:05.280 --> 0:31:07.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm putting it out there. I'd like a yellow one

0:31:07.720 --> 0:31:09.960
<v Speaker 1>that is my favorite color. But then I don't want

0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:12.240
<v Speaker 1>one off marketplace because then you don't have the fun

0:31:12.920 --> 0:31:15.160
<v Speaker 1>of having the thrill of which one you're going to get.

0:31:15.240 --> 0:31:15.960
<v Speaker 2>I think you get.

0:31:15.840 --> 0:31:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Instant regrets as soon as you open the box. You

0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:20.000
<v Speaker 1>know what it reminds me of, like the influencers or

0:31:20.000 --> 0:31:22.400
<v Speaker 1>opening laboo boos and we're over here opening Remember when

0:31:22.480 --> 0:31:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Coles used to do those mini versions of products? Yes, you,

0:31:25.520 --> 0:31:27.400
<v Speaker 1>I'd love it. You love the surprise of it, and

0:31:27.480 --> 0:31:29.720
<v Speaker 1>you'd rip open the packet. Have I got a mini veggiemid?

0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Have I got a little butter? What was exciting about

0:31:32.000 --> 0:31:33.680
<v Speaker 2>them was that they were free. They were thrown in

0:31:33.760 --> 0:31:33.920
<v Speaker 2>with you.

0:31:34.600 --> 0:31:37.360
<v Speaker 1>It's like, I've already purchased this, but I'm getting free things,

0:31:37.440 --> 0:31:38.960
<v Speaker 1>you know what. I almost feel like we're in the

0:31:39.000 --> 0:31:40.520
<v Speaker 1>age group where it looks a bit tragic.

0:31:40.600 --> 0:31:41.400
<v Speaker 2>If I rocked up with a.

0:31:41.360 --> 0:31:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Lit La Boo boo on my handbag, I feel like

0:31:43.080 --> 0:31:44.040
<v Speaker 1>there'd be a lot of questions.

0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Like, you know, a lot of my friends probably be like,

0:31:46.120 --> 0:31:46.760
<v Speaker 2>what the fuck is that?

0:31:47.120 --> 0:31:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I just find them ugly. I understand the jelly cat train.

0:31:49.920 --> 0:31:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Jelly cats are absolutely gorgeous, so cute. It's once you

0:31:54.000 --> 0:31:55.280
<v Speaker 1>buy them, though, you don't really know what to do

0:31:55.400 --> 0:31:57.360
<v Speaker 1>with them. Though with these you can take them out

0:31:57.400 --> 0:31:59.640
<v Speaker 1>with you. I've seen a lot of influencers using them

0:32:00.240 --> 0:32:03.320
<v Speaker 1>decorations like home decour on their shelves. I find that

0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:03.960
<v Speaker 1>a bit tacky.

0:32:04.200 --> 0:32:04.920
<v Speaker 2>I won't do that.

0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:07.840
<v Speaker 1>It's like all those influencers that have the sunny angels

0:32:07.840 --> 0:32:09.680
<v Speaker 1>and that's really exciting, and then they're like, where do

0:32:09.720 --> 0:32:11.360
<v Speaker 1>I put these? So this is why you have a kid,

0:32:11.600 --> 0:32:14.440
<v Speaker 1>because then you can decorate your nursery with the jelly

0:32:14.520 --> 0:32:16.840
<v Speaker 1>cats or the sunny Angels. There has been a lot

0:32:16.880 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 1>of conversation online about how the la boo boo is

0:32:20.400 --> 0:32:23.240
<v Speaker 1>just proof that we are all sheep when it comes

0:32:23.280 --> 0:32:27.080
<v Speaker 1>to copying what influences and celebrities do, because a year ago,

0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:29.600
<v Speaker 1>if Joe Blow rocked up to a dinner with a

0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:33.400
<v Speaker 1>fluffy gremlin attached to their bag, people would think it

0:32:33.520 --> 0:32:36.600
<v Speaker 1>was hideous. Let's listen to one TikTok user share his

0:32:36.760 --> 0:32:38.160
<v Speaker 1>frustration about the trend.

0:32:39.120 --> 0:32:41.640
<v Speaker 4>If I see one more fucking la boo boo on

0:32:41.880 --> 0:32:45.280
<v Speaker 4>my FYP, I think I'm gonna fucking start blocking everybody.

0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:47.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm so sick of these fucking la booboos and can

0:32:47.920 --> 0:32:51.160
<v Speaker 4>everybody please get their own individual sense of style? Everybody

0:32:51.320 --> 0:32:52.600
<v Speaker 4>just copies everybody else.

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:55.040
<v Speaker 2>I tend to agree with what this man is saying.

0:32:55.400 --> 0:32:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think that there has been this real rise

0:32:58.160 --> 0:33:00.680
<v Speaker 1>in a cool girl uniform and that everyone is following

0:33:00.760 --> 0:33:04.080
<v Speaker 1>the same fashion rules due to TikTok. I mean, if

0:33:04.120 --> 0:33:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I see one more person wearing an oversized blue shirt

0:33:07.040 --> 0:33:10.400
<v Speaker 1>with jeans, I think that has become the office uniform

0:33:10.480 --> 0:33:12.880
<v Speaker 1>at the moment. I think that people just want to

0:33:12.920 --> 0:33:14.640
<v Speaker 1>blend in though, and they think that if they have

0:33:14.800 --> 0:33:18.560
<v Speaker 1>these particular elements to build their outfit around that they'll

0:33:18.600 --> 0:33:20.400
<v Speaker 1>be in fashion. It makes me sad that people are

0:33:20.440 --> 0:33:25.000
<v Speaker 1>building an outfit around a fluffy key change bag. Let's

0:33:25.000 --> 0:33:27.480
<v Speaker 1>get into our Friday debrief and I've got a recommendation.

0:33:27.680 --> 0:33:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't really expecting much from this Netflix show, but

0:33:30.600 --> 0:33:34.160
<v Speaker 1>it really impressed me. So it's called Chef's Table Legends,

0:33:34.640 --> 0:33:37.720
<v Speaker 1>and it's a four part documentary about chefs that have

0:33:37.880 --> 0:33:40.560
<v Speaker 1>changed how the world eats. And the first part was

0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:43.200
<v Speaker 1>about Jamie Oliver and I forgot how much I love

0:33:43.320 --> 0:33:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Jamie Oliver. I've been watching him since his Naked Chef days.

0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:48.360
<v Speaker 1>I think we were seven or eight when we first

0:33:48.440 --> 0:33:51.600
<v Speaker 1>watched his shows. Yeah, so I didn't realize but he

0:33:51.880 --> 0:33:55.600
<v Speaker 1>was absolutely plucked from obscurity. So he was working at

0:33:55.640 --> 0:33:58.040
<v Speaker 1>this restaurant, which was like the place to be, and

0:33:58.200 --> 0:34:00.280
<v Speaker 1>he got a call saying, oh, can you in and

0:34:00.360 --> 0:34:02.840
<v Speaker 1>feel this person shift? And he rocked up and there

0:34:02.920 --> 0:34:05.320
<v Speaker 1>was a film crew there from the BBC just filming

0:34:05.800 --> 0:34:09.080
<v Speaker 1>the show. And this camera crew kept following him saying, oh,

0:34:09.120 --> 0:34:11.000
<v Speaker 1>can you explain what you're doing? So we've got this

0:34:11.040 --> 0:34:13.880
<v Speaker 1>footage of this extremely young looking Jamie Oliver I think

0:34:13.920 --> 0:34:16.080
<v Speaker 1>it was like twenty saying like, oh yeah, I'm doing this,

0:34:16.160 --> 0:34:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing that, And the next day after the show aired,

0:34:20.520 --> 0:34:23.279
<v Speaker 1>he was inundated with TV show offers. They're like, we

0:34:23.320 --> 0:34:25.239
<v Speaker 1>want to give your own show because he was quite

0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:30.520
<v Speaker 1>a charismatic, cool, young looking guy with his blonde, floppy hair. Well,

0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:32.680
<v Speaker 1>they wanted him to make cooking cool for men because

0:34:32.680 --> 0:34:35.160
<v Speaker 1>it was really a female dominated industry at the time.

0:34:35.320 --> 0:34:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy always said pucker, which was his cat raise. Yeah,

0:34:39.680 --> 0:34:42.040
<v Speaker 1>it was quite funny watching his show back because the

0:34:42.160 --> 0:34:44.880
<v Speaker 1>first episode he filmed, he said it was really boring.

0:34:44.960 --> 0:34:47.879
<v Speaker 1>They got him to have his girlfriend Jules come over

0:34:48.000 --> 0:34:49.520
<v Speaker 1>and he was talking to the camera and it just

0:34:49.600 --> 0:34:52.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't seem like him. So he decided to come up

0:34:52.080 --> 0:34:54.720
<v Speaker 1>with this style to talk off camera to the person

0:34:54.800 --> 0:34:57.120
<v Speaker 1>that was filming, and then he had all his friends

0:34:57.160 --> 0:34:58.400
<v Speaker 1>come over and he's like, yeah, we used to just

0:34:58.440 --> 0:35:00.439
<v Speaker 1>get pissed and eat food and it was really fun

0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:03.440
<v Speaker 1>to me, just like come into So it was actually

0:35:03.440 --> 0:35:05.359
<v Speaker 1>filmed in his house, it was at a studio. I'm

0:35:05.400 --> 0:35:07.800
<v Speaker 1>actually not sure if it was his house. It looked

0:35:07.920 --> 0:35:10.360
<v Speaker 1>like it could be. There's that famous scene where he

0:35:10.880 --> 0:35:14.319
<v Speaker 1>goes down the staircase banister and it's that spiral staircase.

0:35:15.040 --> 0:35:16.840
<v Speaker 1>This makes me want to watch it. There's been absolutely

0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:18.920
<v Speaker 1>nothing to watch on TV at the moment. We've been

0:35:18.960 --> 0:35:21.719
<v Speaker 1>watching reruns of shows that we previously watched us. It

0:35:21.800 --> 0:35:23.560
<v Speaker 1>actually makes me want to go back and rewatch his

0:35:23.680 --> 0:35:26.560
<v Speaker 1>show fifteen and also the School Dinners one. They were

0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:29.120
<v Speaker 1>classic TV shows cause you do forget what a big

0:35:29.239 --> 0:35:32.959
<v Speaker 1>impact he actually had on food and food education across

0:35:33.080 --> 0:35:35.680
<v Speaker 1>the UK. I didn't realize how old fifteen was as well.

0:35:35.719 --> 0:35:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I had to go and google it. It was made

0:35:37.200 --> 0:35:39.880
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand and two, twenty three years ago. Now

0:35:39.920 --> 0:35:42.279
<v Speaker 1>it makes you feel old. Okay, I want to talk

0:35:42.280 --> 0:35:44.360
<v Speaker 1>to you about my nursery because I spoke about it

0:35:44.440 --> 0:35:46.200
<v Speaker 1>a little bit on the subs, but I've got a

0:35:46.239 --> 0:35:50.279
<v Speaker 1>few updates. So on Saturday we dedicated the day to

0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:54.440
<v Speaker 1>removing everything from there and painting it and putting in

0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:57.880
<v Speaker 1>some wall paneling because the nursery has just become this

0:35:58.080 --> 0:36:01.080
<v Speaker 1>dumping room for everything. When we did our kids, everything

0:36:01.120 --> 0:36:03.040
<v Speaker 1>from the kitchen went in there. There was just so

0:36:03.200 --> 0:36:05.840
<v Speaker 1>many random things. Isn't that the wildest thing about becoming

0:36:05.880 --> 0:36:08.279
<v Speaker 1>a parent realizing that you actually have to use the

0:36:08.360 --> 0:36:09.879
<v Speaker 1>spare bedrooms and you can't have a room.

0:36:09.800 --> 0:36:10.719
<v Speaker 2>To just dump crap in.

0:36:10.840 --> 0:36:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think Brannon was really sad because that was

0:36:12.680 --> 0:36:15.040
<v Speaker 1>originally our movie room, so we had a massive TV

0:36:15.120 --> 0:36:17.920
<v Speaker 1>in there, which has subsequently been removed and put in

0:36:18.080 --> 0:36:21.080
<v Speaker 1>another room. Yeah, that room has now become redundant because

0:36:21.239 --> 0:36:22.600
<v Speaker 1>for the next couple of months you're not gonna have

0:36:22.640 --> 0:36:24.359
<v Speaker 1>a lot of time to watch movies. Really, I feel

0:36:24.360 --> 0:36:26.080
<v Speaker 1>like the newborn stages when you do have a bit

0:36:26.120 --> 0:36:28.800
<v Speaker 1>of downtime to actually watch them shows whilst your kids feeding.

0:36:28.920 --> 0:36:31.759
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, I thought i'd talk about the look of

0:36:31.840 --> 0:36:33.480
<v Speaker 1>the room because you guys are giving me shit.

0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:34.839
<v Speaker 2>You're calling me a beige mum.

0:36:35.040 --> 0:36:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually proud of myself for not just making this

0:36:37.320 --> 0:36:40.520
<v Speaker 1>room just basic white. I've decided to have a different

0:36:40.600 --> 0:36:43.480
<v Speaker 1>element in there. The paint color is actually called beige. Well,

0:36:43.480 --> 0:36:46.000
<v Speaker 1>what's a different element the beige. I was going to

0:36:46.080 --> 0:36:48.000
<v Speaker 1>just have it all white, but I've decided to put

0:36:48.040 --> 0:36:48.680
<v Speaker 1>beige on the.

0:36:48.680 --> 0:36:49.359
<v Speaker 2>Walls as well.

0:36:49.440 --> 0:36:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that makes much of a difference.

0:36:51.600 --> 0:36:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Are you're also getting a green chair? Apparently that's the

0:36:54.239 --> 0:36:55.759
<v Speaker 1>new beige mum thing.

0:36:55.880 --> 0:36:56.440
<v Speaker 2>A green chair.

0:36:56.520 --> 0:36:58.000
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm not getting a green chair. I'm having a

0:36:58.040 --> 0:37:01.040
<v Speaker 1>white chair. I have tried to avoid green because I

0:37:01.080 --> 0:37:03.480
<v Speaker 1>have heard a lot of rhetoric that green is very aging.

0:37:03.520 --> 0:37:05.239
<v Speaker 1>As soon as people come in your house, they're like, oh,

0:37:05.320 --> 0:37:09.040
<v Speaker 1>you're an elder millennial. But anyway, everyone's been giving me

0:37:09.080 --> 0:37:11.799
<v Speaker 1>a shit that there's not enough fun kids things in there.

0:37:11.840 --> 0:37:13.839
<v Speaker 2>So I thought i'd ad a pop of color. I've

0:37:13.920 --> 0:37:16.799
<v Speaker 2>bought this mobile for the nursery. It is so cute.

0:37:16.880 --> 0:37:20.560
<v Speaker 1>It's from this little business called Rommy and Me. This

0:37:20.760 --> 0:37:22.839
<v Speaker 1>is not sponsored at all. I just came across her

0:37:23.200 --> 0:37:26.239
<v Speaker 1>Instagram and she makes custom mobiles basically where you can

0:37:26.280 --> 0:37:28.920
<v Speaker 1>include your dog. I saw one I really wanted to

0:37:28.960 --> 0:37:30.160
<v Speaker 1>do it, and then I saw the price tag and

0:37:30.200 --> 0:37:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I was like, holy shit, they are expensive. But I

0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:35.320
<v Speaker 1>found a lot of mobiles expensive by the line, but

0:37:35.440 --> 0:37:37.560
<v Speaker 1>this one she actually makes everything from scratch. So I

0:37:37.640 --> 0:37:40.399
<v Speaker 1>have sent in a photo of Archie and I then

0:37:40.480 --> 0:37:42.400
<v Speaker 1>got to pick all of the different felt.

0:37:42.200 --> 0:37:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Colors to make him up. He is going to be

0:37:44.520 --> 0:37:45.600
<v Speaker 2>surrounded by hot.

0:37:45.480 --> 0:37:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Air balloons and stars and moons and clouds, and I

0:37:49.200 --> 0:37:53.000
<v Speaker 1>am saying that, apart from the beige, Archie is the

0:37:53.360 --> 0:37:54.840
<v Speaker 1>inspiration for the room. So there's going to be a

0:37:54.880 --> 0:37:56.879
<v Speaker 1>lot of golden a lot of I'm trying to find

0:37:56.920 --> 0:37:59.160
<v Speaker 1>a Coca Spaniel soft toy to sit in the crib

0:37:59.480 --> 0:38:01.400
<v Speaker 1>as well. Is it at this point I tell you

0:38:01.480 --> 0:38:03.640
<v Speaker 1>that you don't really use a mobile that much. Yeah, well,

0:38:03.680 --> 0:38:05.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not under any illusion that you do. I've heard

0:38:05.680 --> 0:38:07.279
<v Speaker 1>that you don't hang it over the cot, you hang

0:38:07.360 --> 0:38:09.880
<v Speaker 1>it over the changing matt. Yeah, but I mean I

0:38:10.120 --> 0:38:12.799
<v Speaker 1>just thought it brought something different to the room, another

0:38:12.920 --> 0:38:15.520
<v Speaker 1>element to the room. They are absolutely stunning mobiles, and

0:38:15.520 --> 0:38:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I can see why they are so expensive because I

0:38:17.040 --> 0:38:18.440
<v Speaker 1>think a lot of time and effort goes into the

0:38:18.600 --> 0:38:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Amy would know because she made her own and she's like,

0:38:20.560 --> 0:38:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Jula should have just bought one. Well, she offered to

0:38:22.280 --> 0:38:23.719
<v Speaker 1>make me one with art, and I thought I might

0:38:23.840 --> 0:38:25.799
<v Speaker 1>just go to the experts for this one. Amy's got

0:38:26.040 --> 0:38:29.120
<v Speaker 1>a bit on at the moment, Tea making me a moba.

0:38:29.520 --> 0:38:32.360
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about Amy. We did drop a bonus episode

0:38:32.480 --> 0:38:35.160
<v Speaker 1>on Wednesday where she goes into her birth story, so

0:38:35.200 --> 0:38:37.320
<v Speaker 1>if you haven't listened to that, O go give it

0:38:37.360 --> 0:38:40.480
<v Speaker 1>a listen. We also dropped a subs episode on Thursday

0:38:40.880 --> 0:38:43.759
<v Speaker 1>where we discussed a post that went viral in our
