Outspoken covers all things 6 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: reality TV, influences, entertainment, and issues facing women. 7 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 2: That is so fatch. 8 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: Thank you, hello and welcome back to Outspoken. Thank you 9 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: for joining us. Now, Amy, you've had a bit of 10 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: a busy weekend. Yeah, I've been house hunting this weekend 11 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: and Dale couldn't come along, so I thought who best 12 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: to bring? But Mum and I loved it because Mum 13 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: and I have the same taste in houses, and Dale 14 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: had sent us a whole load of houses to look 15 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: at that I just knew. 16 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 2: We weren't going to get. They were real dumpy. 17 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 1: Houses and areas that I wasn't really keen on. So 18 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: to have Mum there basically commenting all of my thoughts 19 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: was just hilarious, or just to put it into perspective, 20 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: because you really want to live in the southeast and 21 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: Dale wants to live in the East, so you guys 22 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: have been sending one another properties kind of a bit 23 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: in a passive aggressive way, because they're always from the 24 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: areas that you guys want. And then I've been on 25 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: walks with you were like, I don't even know what 26 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: to say about this house. It's just not in the 27 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: location I want. Yeah, well, maybe I should describe one 28 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: of the houses that Dale sent me. It was a 29 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: house it was so far away from you, especially Kate. 30 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,639 Speaker 2: I don't like it already. And it was just. 31 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: This old house that was covered in wallpaper, like the 32 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: wallpaper was peeling off the wall. There was just musty carpets. 33 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: There were cages outside where the owners had kept pigeons 34 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,199 Speaker 1: to race, and I just was like, nah, this is gross. 35 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: But we need to throw to some commentary of Mum, 36 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: because her catchphrase every time we went into these houses 37 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: that Dale had picked was basically. 38 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 2: It smells in here. We need to go to the audio. 39 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 2: What is this on their lights? I thought they were 40 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 2: like pipe, Oh. 41 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 3: Oh my god, what do they call this? How much 42 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 3: does it smell? The fuck's going on in this? Oh 43 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 3: my god, cageous, cageous, absolutely pigeon person. 44 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: I have to say I love how honest Mum is, 45 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: particularly because she knew she was being recorded. Yeah, well, 46 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: I showed Dale the vision so he could check out 47 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: the houses, and we were absolutely cacking ourselves because Mum 48 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: was just so cute in the vision as well. She 49 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: was like, now, Dale, I think there's a lot of 50 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: work in this house that you can have to do, 51 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: So I don't know about this one. 52 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: That's hilarious. 53 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: I feel like you both need to listen to the 54 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: Property Playbook, which is by a friend of the podcast, 55 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: Victoria Devine, because she talks about in the first episode 56 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: how you really have to make sure that your wants 57 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: and desires a inner property are aligning. So I feel 58 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: like you guys need to do that before going to 59 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: any more inspection. 60 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. 61 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: Well, we actually have an Excel spreadsheet that's meant to 62 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: be sort of our score sheet for each house we 63 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: look at. Is it always like you rate Dale's badly 64 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: that he selected and a vice versa. Now we try and 65 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: be fair, so it might be like, what score do 66 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: we give to the location of this house? Then what 67 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: score do we give to the interior and the exterior 68 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: and the potential? So it does help it a little bit. 69 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: By at the end of the day, I think you 70 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: just kind of have a gut feeling about a house 71 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: when you see it, whether you'd actually live there or not. 72 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: We also have to make the decision to put in 73 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: an office so quickly, especially with how competitive it is. Oh, 74 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: I know, it's ridiculous. Well, you guys have also had 75 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: a pretty productive week. Yeah, Sophie and I went and 76 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: got our skin checked on Monday, and I have been 77 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: putting it off a little bit, but I was really 78 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: inspired by Courtney Mangen, who if you don't follow her, 79 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: you really should go follow her. She has been documenting 80 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: her journey with melanoma and she is just such an 81 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: inspiring person. And yeah, it really gave me the kickup 82 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: the ars to go actually book in my skin check. 83 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: And it was a really great experience. I mean, yes, 84 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: it was pretty awkward because you really are at your Aurora, 85 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: stripped down to your undies. But I just love how 86 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: thorough the doctor was when she was doing the skin check. 87 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: It really made you feel that you were being looked after. Well, 88 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: they do an amazing job, because I didn't realize how 89 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: thorough it actually was. But anyway, I get up on 90 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: the bed and for some reason, when I'm nervous, I 91 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: only sweat out of one of my underarms. 92 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 2: It's very strange. 93 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: So I could feel this sweat just trickling under my 94 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: right underarm, and she was checking my left arm, and 95 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: they're so thorough that they pull your arm up to 96 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: look underneath at your arm pit. Anyway, I was thinking, fuck, 97 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: I know what's coming next. So she pulled on and 98 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: she pulled up my left under arm, and the sweat 99 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: had just gone down the whole seat like it was 100 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: so visible. I actually had to apologize, and she was 101 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: kind of a bit like, oh wow, there is a lot. 102 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 2: Of sweat there. 103 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: But in saying that, I just felt so relieved after 104 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,559 Speaker 1: it was done. And it really is not that bad. 105 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just. 106 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,799 Speaker 1: Bad for the technician when you're sweating all over the bed. 107 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 108 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: Well, I'm actually going in on Tuesday and getting a 109 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: mole removed. It's been really bothering me and I think 110 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: we'll just get rid of it. So I'm doing that 111 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: on Tuesday. So wish me luck because I'm not good 112 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: with needles and getting things cut out. But it is 113 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 1: a really important reminder to go and get your skin 114 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: checked because despite savy sweating everywhere, it really isn't bad 115 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: at all and it's something that everybody. 116 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 2: Should go out and do. 117 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: It is very important to get your skin checked. Can 118 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: I just say it's also quite affordable. I know, even 119 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: as silly as it sounds, I was like, oh, I 120 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: don't know if I can spend the money right now, 121 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: but you do get a lot back on your Medicare 122 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: card and you do think about the shit that you 123 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: buy at the saw like this is so important to do. 124 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: I think mine was only one hundred and ten dollars 125 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: and then I got forty dollars back. I thought it 126 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: was going to be hundreds for some reason. So yeah, 127 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: it is very affordable. 128 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 2: And just before we. 129 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: Get into the main topic, we wanted to send our 130 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: love and thoughts to our Melbourne listeners who are in 131 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: another lockdown. We're really thinking of you, guys, and hopefully 132 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: this podcast can entertain you and keep your mind off 133 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: it for a little while. 134 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 4: When Big Brother mentioned Gruel, I mean, I've never seen 135 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 4: Gruel in my life. 136 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 2: I thought it was made up for Oliver Twist film. 137 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: Five months after undergoing a breast augmentation, influencer Danny Mansuti 138 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: has revealed she was forced to have explant surgery after 139 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: her left implant allegedly collapsed. Followers have questioned why surgeons 140 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: allowed the UK based influencer, who suffers from body dysmorphia, 141 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: to have the procedure done, while others questioned whether she's 142 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: followed correct aftercare measures. So what has Danny said about 143 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: it in her Instagram post? Or? She did release a 144 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: rather lengthy post which included photos and videos, and in it, 145 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: she explained that she has now had a total of 146 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: three surgeries in five months to try and fix her 147 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: breast augmentation. So she explained that her left pectorial muscle 148 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: was cut upwards and off the bone and subsequently it 149 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: has been left hanging by a thread. So she explained 150 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: that this caused her left implant to collapse and bottom out, 151 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: which is when the breast implant actually falls inside a 152 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: few and it drops internally into places that obviously it 153 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: should not be. So God, that sounds very painful, so 154 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: that's horrendous, So Danny said that the pain was indescribable. 155 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: She also explained that it utterly destroyed every aspect of 156 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: her life, from her work, her men, mental health, physical health, 157 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: her finances, and also her private life. She also revealed 158 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: that she began experiencing early symptoms of breast implant illness. 159 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: So it was quite disturbing because she showed photos of 160 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: how she had been pulling out clumps of her hair. 161 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: This really shocked me because I've always been very envious 162 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: of her naturally long, beautiful hair. 163 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:20,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. 164 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: I actually thought it was extensions until now because it 165 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: is so nice. Yeah. Well, one of my friends who's 166 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: followed her for a long time, I was like, they've 167 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: got to be extensions. She's like, no, it's not, it's real, 168 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: and I was like. 169 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 2: Oh, of course. 170 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: Well, as well as all the clumps of hair falling out, 171 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: she also said that her skin looked very tired, her 172 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: whole body ached, she felt like she couldn't breathe, and 173 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: she was also experiencing a constant brain fog. Now she 174 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: has been told by her new surgeon that this surgery 175 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: has caused her to have a muscle deformity, which she 176 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: will now have for the. 177 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: Rest of her life. 178 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: So it is incredibly serious what has happened to Danny 179 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: since she has had this surgery. And what is also 180 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: shocking is she said that she begged for help and 181 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: she felt ignored along the process, which is very alarming. Well, 182 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: I feel like we've got to put this into some 183 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: context because Danny actually made the decision to get these 184 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: breast implants during the COVID lockdown in the UK, so 185 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people at the time really questioned whether 186 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: she should be getting this type of surgery because of 187 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: course it is elective surgery, and many people accused her 188 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: of taking hospital beds of those COVID patients. However, it 189 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: came out that she went to this plastic surgeon that 190 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: had specific beds for people that were undergoing plastic surgery, 191 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: so she didn't take a bed away from a COVID patient. However, 192 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: I feel like the decision to have such a major 193 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: surgery during a pandemic and something that is elective personally 194 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: doesn't really sit well for me, because you're not going 195 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: to get that aftercare that you normally would if everything 196 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: was normal. It is a really divisive topic and I 197 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: don't really know where I sit amongst it, because on 198 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: the one hand, I feel really sorry for her that 199 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: she has had to experience this and endure this pain. 200 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: But then the same time, because she has chosen to 201 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: go and get this surgery and not really do much 202 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: research into it, then my sympathy is a little bit 203 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: less for her. Yeah, I feel like when you're an 204 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: influencer and you are promoting the fact that you're getting 205 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 1: breast implants, there is a duty of care to your followers, 206 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: and I think going ahead and promoting I mean particularly 207 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: because she came out in her Instagram post and she 208 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: showed video about how she was suffering from pain from 209 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: the onset. 210 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 2: However, she went on. 211 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: To post a YouTube video like a try on whole 212 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: of her trying on new clothes with her breasts, and 213 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: for all accounts, she sort of said that her breast 214 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 1: implant surgery had gone well. So I feel like it 215 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 1: does feel a little bit deceptive, and I do think 216 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: that an influencer with this many followers should be doing 217 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: research because while you know, of course it's every woman's 218 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: decision what they do with their body, but I do 219 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: think if you are an influencer, you putting that out 220 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: to the world, you are, even if you're not meaning to, 221 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: you are influencing people to make the same decision as 222 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: you with their bodies. We saw Australian influencer Britney Saunders. 223 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: She publicly got breast implants and then she very publicly 224 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: told the world how she decided to have them removed 225 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: because she no longer wanted them. I feel like in 226 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: this instance, Danny is bringing light to the fact that 227 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: she has had this issue with her breast implants. So 228 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: I do support her in the fact that she is 229 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: bringing awareness to the topic, because at the end of 230 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: the day, everybody does make mistakes, but it's on such 231 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: a huge public level. 232 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 2: Oh, I very much think it's. 233 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: Really good what she's doing now, But I just think, well, 234 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: what damage have you made five months ago? Because I personally, 235 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: and we've spoken about it on a podcast about probably 236 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: a year and a half ago, I don't feel comfortable 237 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: with influencers promoting the surgeries that they have online because 238 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: I do think that there is a very vulnerable people 239 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: that watch those videos and feel like they need to 240 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: do the same, and you are giving them the exact steps. 241 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 1: And also sort of I mean also, when you think 242 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: about it, there are a lot of plus surgeries that 243 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 1: pay for influencers to have surgery with them. Well, Danny 244 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: actually did touch on this in the post. She explained 245 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: that when she went to her surgeon, she went there 246 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: as a regular person and actually paid for the procedure, 247 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: So she wanted to point out that she was not 248 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: gifted this as an influencer, and she really did touch 249 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 1: on the fact that these influencers are given a VIP 250 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: experience and treatment, and she wanted to reiterate that that 251 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: is not the reality for most people. She said that 252 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: the experience that you see online and on YouTube, that 253 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: will not be the experience for you because these surgeons 254 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: have gone out of their way to ensure that these 255 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: people are receiving the best possible treatment. Well, even if 256 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: they do receive the best possible treatment, there is still 257 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: a chance that they can suffer from breast implant illness 258 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: and also the complications that Danny is now living with. 259 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 1: But if you are getting that surgery for free, you're 260 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: very unlikely to go back onto a YouTube channel and 261 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: say that I'm actually getting my breast implants removed Or'm 262 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: having all these surgeries. So I think that's where the 263 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 1: transparency for me isn't there, and that's why I think 264 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: it's really maybe something that shouldn't be promoted by influencers online. 265 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: And I think that's where it all gets a little 266 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: bit murky, because if you are being paid or working 267 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: with a surgeon to promote breast in plants. Of course, 268 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: you're not going to be talking about your true feelings 269 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: and experiences. And I think that's why people are really 270 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: confused about this whole Dannyman Sooty situation because originally, when 271 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: she got her breast implants done, she shared a YouTube 272 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: video where she was very complimentary to her surgeon and 273 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: her experience. So people are sort of asking questions, now, well, 274 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: how come you were being fake? Is that because she 275 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: wasn't having any issues. 276 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 2: At that time? 277 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: I no. She has now shown in subsequent clips that 278 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: she was suffering this pain as soon as she got 279 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 1: out of surgery, and it sounds as though she will 280 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: she leads us to believe that she wasn't believed over 281 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: the pain, so as soon as she came out, she 282 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: said she knew that something was wrong. So she had 283 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: been experiencing so much pain on her left side. And 284 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: when you look at the before and after photos, you 285 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,359 Speaker 1: can see that one breast, the left breast, is subsequentquently 286 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: larger than the other. It is completely lopsided. And I 287 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: do find it so strange that she did not include 288 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: if she hadn't been paid. 289 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 2: Or didn't collaborate with this surgeon. 290 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 1: Why didn't she give a truthful representation of how after 291 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: surgery care was for her and how she was feeling. Well, 292 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 1: do you guys think she was actually paid? I think well, 293 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: she claims that she was trying to convince herself that 294 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: she had done the right thing. 295 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 2: You have to think about it. 296 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: She received a lot of criticism for getting this surgery 297 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: during COVID, so she probably didn't want to then come 298 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: out and say, hey, I've actually made a mistake, come 299 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: in so much pain that she really was hinting it 300 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: because she kept referencing that she was undergoing some ongoing 301 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: health issue but didn't want to elaborate on what it was. 302 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: And I think many people thought she was referring to 303 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 1: her battle with mental health because she was very distressed 304 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: and upset about originally not being allowed to fly home 305 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: to Australia to visit her family. And for anyone who's 306 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: more interested in that saga, we will link the episodes 307 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: below where we discussed returning home to Australia. Well on 308 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: the topic of mental health. I feel like there's a 309 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: whole nother layer to this topic because in May twenty twenty, 310 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: Danny opened up that she does, in fact suffer from 311 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,599 Speaker 1: body dysmorphia disorder. 312 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 2: So, for those who. 313 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: Don't know, it is a mental illness involving obsessive focus 314 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: on a particular perceived flaw in your appearance. So the 315 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: flaw is either minor or imagined, but the person basically 316 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: spends hours a day trying to. 317 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 2: Fix that flow. 318 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think because Danny publicly suffers from body dysmorphia, 319 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: there is the responsibility of the surgeon to take that 320 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: into consideration before he does perform surgery. Well, even if 321 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: you don't publicly talk about something, surely a doctor would 322 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: look through your medical records and no, this is something 323 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: you suffer. I mean, for this surgeon to perform elective 324 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: surgery during a pandemic, that is questionable enough. But when 325 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: you add on the fact that that she does have 326 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: body dysmorphia, I do not understand how this was allowed 327 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: to go ahead. And Danny has since slammed the surgeon 328 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: who performed this surgery. She said, the people I trusted 329 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: with my body damaged me, and she said that she 330 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: should have undergone more research into this. Well, a lot 331 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: of people have gone and actually googled the surgeon, and 332 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: apparently there are a lot of negative reviews. So it 333 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: does shock me that someone that is involved in the 334 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: social media world didn't really take the review seriously. 335 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 2: I also do. 336 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: Think in terms of YouTube's guidelines, they should take into 337 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: consideration if somebody does suffer from body dysmorphia, because her 338 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: comments could affect a lot of people online who are 339 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: consuming her content. I mean, let's be honest, a lot 340 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: of her viewers would be young, impressionable women. But I 341 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: don't know how they actually do that because there is 342 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: so many regulations that YouTube needs to actually enforce. I mean, 343 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: we've spoken about guidelines around giving advice out about health 344 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: and fitness, of course about plastic surgery. So I really 345 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: do feel like YouTube needs to actually start implementing some 346 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: of these regulations, particularly even just if it's an age limit. Yeah, 347 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: I mean, surely people are reporting her content as well. 348 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: She's a huge influencer. Her content would be flat by YouTube. 349 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: It's not like she's some micro influencer that's pushing all 350 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: of this stuff. She's extremely well known. She would be 351 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: on YouTube's radar. I am relieved that she has deleted 352 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: the video about her breast implant surgery, because I think 353 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: that's a good step forward. I mean, we have spoken 354 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: in the past about how Sarah's Day has admitted that 355 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: she has had issues with disordered eating. However, she has 356 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: kept that content up that could trigger people into an 357 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: eating disorder. So I will praise Danny in the fact 358 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: that she has deleted those vlogs. I do think it's 359 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: a little bit self serving though, as well, because if 360 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: viewers were to go back and see her praising the surgery, 361 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: it would make her look a bit stupid. 362 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 2: Oh my god, we didn't get alcohol. That's right. We'll 363 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 2: do our eyes and then we'll get our dream. Okay, okay, 364 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 2: thinking yeh. 365 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: Let's get into the influencer a rap and Jade Tun 366 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: She has hit out at fans for questioning her over 367 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: where she bought her outfits. Now a lot of people 368 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: are surprised about this, considering she does deem herself a 369 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: fashion influencer. I feel like before we get too much 370 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: into this, for those who are new to the podcast 371 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: and maybe don't know much about jar I feel like 372 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: we have to point out, as you said, Kaate, she 373 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: is a fashion and beauty influencer and she was actually 374 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: one of the first influencers to create an unfiltered account 375 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: where she posts real photos that aren't curated. So she 376 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 1: likes to think of herself sort of as a comedian 377 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: when we'll post funny videos with certain takes on scenarios. 378 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: So it's really confusing at the moment as to which 379 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: is comedy and which is real life. I feel like 380 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: the account's just an excuse for her to say rude things, 381 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: but to say that it's a joke. I also want 382 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: to point out because we do get a lot of 383 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: questions about this, so jar Day is actually her name 384 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 1: is Turkish, so it is actually pronounced jar Day, not Jade. 385 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: So we do get people saying like, are you pronouncing 386 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: it correctly? And yes, that is correct. I love how 387 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: many people's minds we blew by pronouncing her name correctly. 388 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: You isn't have funny when you get in your mind 389 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 1: that that person's name is. 390 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 2: Jade, and it's shocking. 391 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: Well, back to the post, I do want to point 392 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: out that this was posted on her main account, not 393 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: her filtered account, so you. 394 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 2: Would assume she is being somewhat serious in this. 395 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: So she told her followers that she wants to eliminate 396 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: questions about where her clothes are from. 397 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 2: Let's throw the clip to see what she said. 398 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 4: I just had a thought, do you guys want me 399 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 4: to create a highlight where I post my mirrors office 400 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 4: and type the outfits because sometimes some of you. 401 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 2: Like to message me? 402 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 4: A few days after, irave I potted a photo saying 403 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 4: where was that white top from? And I'm like, I 404 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 4: wear white almost every day with enjoying you, Matt, the 405 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 4: one with the sleeps. I want to help you, I do, 406 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 4: but you're not giving me much anyway. So if I 407 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 4: just made a highlight, we could eliminate all of that. 408 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: I do not like how she directed this at her 409 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 1: followers by saying some of you like to message me 410 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 1: and I would like to help you, but you're not 411 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: giving me much. It just seemed totally passive, aggressive and rude. 412 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: I think the ongoing issue with Jarday's account and her 413 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: Instagram stories is that she actually adopts a very condescending tone, 414 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: and as you said, there seems to be some confusion 415 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: about what is parody and what is serious because she 416 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: does sort of have this alter ego. 417 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 2: I suppose that. 418 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: She, as you said, Amy, sometimes you feel like she's 419 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 1: actually using it as an excuse to be rude. It's 420 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: kind of like she's saying to her followers, how dare 421 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: you be interested in what I'm wearing when I'm happy 422 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 1: for you to be interested when I'm pushing it and 423 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: it's an ad But if I'm not actually being paid 424 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: to wear the clothes, please don't ask me where they're from. 425 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly right. 426 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: It seems like, as you said, she's only willing to 427 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: tag clothes that she's paid for and then not put 428 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: the effort in. I mean in saying that she is 429 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: offering to put a highlight reel together, but I feel 430 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: like that's just something that you could monetize on your page. 431 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: What I think that she's sort of forgetting is that, yes, Kate, 432 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: as you said, she might not be paid to be 433 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 1: promoting every single item of clothing that she's wearing, but 434 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: she is being paid as someone who has curated a 435 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: large engage following. So if she doesn't keep her community engaged, 436 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: then she's not going. 437 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 2: To get paid. 438 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: So I really don't understand why it is that difficult 439 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: to answer people where you close are from. I'm sure 440 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: she gets probably hundreds of DMS a day about what 441 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 1: she's wearing. But I feel like her turning on her 442 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: fans is really a bad move because we are seeing, 443 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: especially in twenty twenty one since the pandemic, we're seeing 444 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,479 Speaker 1: people getting frustrated with influencers who they once loved and 445 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: very much people are turning on them. Well, it's clear 446 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: that Jada did cop a lot of backlash from these comments. 447 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: So on Wednesday, she posted a story about a message 448 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: she received from a follower. So this was from a 449 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: follower who called her out. They said, you are an 450 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 1: f and fashion influencer. You get paid to answer those 451 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: questions you see. So Jada also shared her response, which 452 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: said bit aggressive smiley face. Also, No, nobody is paying 453 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 1: me to sit on my phone and answer dms. I 454 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: answer them because I want to. Thanks for the message, 455 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 1: Have a fab day. She then shared this to a 456 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: story where she obviously included the girl's name and said, 457 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: this person is obviously having a bad day, but just 458 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: wanted to remind you that we are actually not obligated 459 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 1: to do anything that we do. We do it because 460 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: we want to. Don't be like this person. Now. Whilst 461 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: I think Ja Day is completely in her right to 462 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 1: be upset and respond to this person who has sworn 463 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: it her. I don't think it was fair to share 464 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 1: the person's name because that is just there's a flow 465 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: on effect there. This person is going to get bully 466 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: to the nth degree. I do think that the follower 467 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: had a point in terms of the message to Ja Day, 468 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: but where she went wrong was using the F word 469 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: and the seaword in the message. Well, if I had 470 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: received a message like that, I think I would have 471 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: gone on the back foot too and got a little 472 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: bit defensive because I don't think that there's As you said, 473 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: they had a valid point, but why did you need 474 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: to put the swear in it and cool leather sea word? 475 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: It was completely wrong, and I do think you would 476 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: be on the defense thinking, well, this person is a troll, 477 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 1: so you wouldn't really care about publicly naming them. Did 478 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: you see that? She also then shared a subsequent story 479 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: where she said people cancel celebs and influencers all the time, 480 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: but can we also please cancel regular rude people like 481 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 1: even it out a little, it'll be great. What did 482 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: you guys think of that? We did have a thread 483 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: going on in our Facebook community about this post, and 484 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: I very much enjoyed some people's responses because some of 485 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: our listeners pointed out, well, hang on, regular people do 486 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: get canceled, So if you do something wrong at your job, 487 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: you get punished. If you are a dickhead in public, 488 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: I'm sure people are going to have a negative response. 489 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: So I do feel like jar Day was very much 490 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: out of touch with this comment because while influencers can 491 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: go on their story and cry and apologize and people 492 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: usually take that on board, if you do something wrong 493 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: at your job, you get fired. But also, why is 494 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: it jar Day's choice who she's going to cancel? I mean, 495 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: she probably gets heaps of comments like that on a 496 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: daily basis. 497 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 2: The best thing to do is ignore, and what. 498 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: We're going to cancel one girl after she sends a 499 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: message with a few swear words in it, and to me, 500 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: that message is just enticing her followers to further troll 501 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: this woman. 502 00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, don't make it. 503 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 4: Why don't you sorry about your fucking with your fake. 504 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 3: Everyone? 505 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: I feel like we cannot ignore. The biggest influencer event 506 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: that has been put on since covid now. This was, 507 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: of course, activewear brand Staxa's launch night at Bondi event 508 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: Cinema Now they were launching their new PSV for collection, 509 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: which actually went on sale last Friday. 510 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,719 Speaker 2: No, this is not an ad. We were not paid 511 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 2: by them to talk about it. 512 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: I think we're probably the only people they haven't paid, 513 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: because it seems like every influencer and their dog was 514 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: at the event. There was m Davies, Lily Brown, Shani 515 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: grimmand and of course her boyfriend Jacob Tompkins. There was 516 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:47,360 Speaker 1: Tarlia Scaines and Mitch Third, Tally Smythe Connor. Kathleen Madison 517 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: Woolley was there, but she chose to take best friend 518 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: Caitlyn Rodriguez. So maybe that was probably one notable influencer 519 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: that wasn't there, her boyfriend Jonathan Sower. Well, do you 520 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: think that was because Jonathan's ex Shanni and her new 521 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: boyfriend was there, Like I did, it really interesting to 522 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,719 Speaker 1: see where they were sitting in the cinema. It seems 523 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,959 Speaker 1: like Tarlia s Kanes had chosen her side because she 524 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: was in team Shani. Yeah, because Tarlia is friends with 525 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: both apparently, but as you said, it seemed like she 526 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: picked because I do feel like there was a row 527 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 1: of the big time influences which was sort of like 528 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 1: Shiny Grimm and Tarlia Scanes and Lily Brown. And I 529 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: feel like Lily Brown really got that party going because 530 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: I saw so many Instagram stories of that Friday song 531 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: playing and Lily Brown literally jumped off and then everyone 532 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: was dancing. Well, so what actually went on at this event? 533 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: Because from what I saw, Stas paid a whole lot 534 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: of influences to fly over and also paid for their accommodation. 535 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,479 Speaker 1: But what was the actual event focused on. Yeah, well, 536 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: you are correct in the fact that they did pay 537 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: for everything, because I watched Connor Kathleen's vlog and she 538 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: was saying, you know, thank you so much for putting 539 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: me up in this hotel. They really were treated like 540 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: absolute rock stars. So at the event, they put on 541 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: a nineteen minute video on the big cinema screen and 542 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: the video starred Love Island's Australia Cassidy McGill as well 543 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: as Flex Marmi, and the video showcased the ten new 544 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: colors from the Seamless collection. Alongside, they had a live 545 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 1: fashion parade with actual customers that wear the brand, and 546 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: these women were in all shapes and sizes and really 547 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: showcased Stax's diversity in terms of having sizing from size 548 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: four to twenty four, so I thought that was absolutely amazing. 549 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: They also had the Veronicas and the Justice Crew performing. 550 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: Now I feel like I feel like this was a 551 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: little bit copied from the Happy Hour Live event because 552 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 1: Jess and Lisa from the Veronicas came out and performed untouched. 553 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,239 Speaker 1: I feel like this is becoming an Aussie anthem and 554 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,199 Speaker 1: literally the crowdwet nuts. I feel like, because they're on 555 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: the Celebrity Apprentice right now, they're also hot property. They 556 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: would have cost a fair bit to come to perform 557 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: at their evengs. That's what I was thinking the whole 558 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: time when I was watching all of these vlogs and 559 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: Instagram stories. I was thinking, surely Stax must get a 560 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: decent return on investment for an event like this because 561 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: it would have cost so much money to put on. 562 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: Oh definitely. I do wonder, though, does it actually entice 563 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: people to buy the clothes? Because we had an insert 564 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: story up about this and one of my friends actually 565 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: messaged and she made some amazing points. She said, it 566 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 1: actually doesn't make her want to buy the clothing because 567 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: she sees all these influencers getting it for free, so 568 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: she feels a bit stupid that she's almost gone and 569 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: being tricked to buy it. And also, if you're wearing 570 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: all this influencer push stuff, you kind of look like 571 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: a big try hard that's just following the trends. Yeah. Well, 572 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 1: we did put a poll on her Instagram and we 573 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 1: asked our listeners do influencer events like stax event influence 574 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: you to purchase? Eighty seven percent said no and thirteen 575 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: percent said yes. I do wonder though, is that because 576 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 1: our listeners are very clued on about the influencer Well, 577 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 1: because I do think a lot of impressionable young people 578 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: would be like, oh my god, I've got to go 579 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: buy it. Her keep seeing it everywhere. So I do 580 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 1: genuinely think that they must make money off these type 581 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: of events. I think we're heading into a space though, 582 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 1: where people actually think it cheapens a brand to have 583 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: it promoted so much on social media. Yeah, because you 584 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 1: think of all of the brands that you associate with 585 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: social media and influencers, and it's often teeth whitening kits 586 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: and all those banging. 587 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 2: Body or hellow fresh and products that. 588 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: Maybe you think, oh, I've tried that and it's been shit. 589 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: So I don't think it's so much even about the 590 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: product being shit. It's literally that, you know the formula. 591 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: You have seen everyone promoting banging body. So I literally 592 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: skip those stories as soon as I see them because 593 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,719 Speaker 1: I feel like I know what's being said. And I 594 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: feel like the whole power of influencer marketing and why 595 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: it took off was because it was such a genuine connection, 596 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: Like influencers have this parasocial connection with their audience and 597 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: you believe in what they're saying. But I feel like 598 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 1: over time that has become eroded and now we're seeing 599 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: a lot of fatigue around influencer promoted products, and I 600 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: think Stax Now is one of them because I think 601 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: it Obviously the brand is really great. I love this diversity, 602 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: but I do think perhaps they are maybe incorporating too 603 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: many influencers into their program, Like maybe they should be 604 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,199 Speaker 1: a bit more like Gym Shark, because I think you 605 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: know who the Gym Shark athletes are, and it seems 606 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: a little bit prestigious to be chosen, whereas literally every 607 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: influencer was at this event. Yeah, it kind of also 608 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 1: just I know they did have the element where they 609 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: had the real people who were in the Stacks gear 610 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: walking out at the fashion parade, but they have more 611 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 1: real people at the actual event. Because it kind of 612 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: almost goes, oh, look how important all these people are 613 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 1: and they're getting all the clothes for free, but we 614 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: expect you to pay top dollar for it. It kind 615 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 1: of creates this divide amongst the consumer. Yeah, it did 616 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: feel a bit like, Oh, these influencers are so important, 617 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 1: look at everything we've done for them. But you know, 618 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: the customers, Oh, here you have to pay full price, 619 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: even though because all the influencers have now gone on 620 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: their story and they've literally shown that. 621 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 2: They were gifted. 622 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: I think it's ten different colors in the range, so 623 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: and it's all like the g strings, the bras, the shorts, 624 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: the legends, like there's a lot of product there that's 625 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: been given away. It will actually be interesting to see 626 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: if this is the last kind of event of this 627 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: size that Stacks hold, because we'll be able to see 628 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: whether they actually got returned from the investment. Yeah, I'm 629 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: really interested to see what is next because I suppose 630 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: when we're considering what we deem as expensive, it is 631 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: important to consider that traditional marketing is actually insanely expensive. 632 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: So sometimes an ad, say in a publication like The Australian, 633 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: if you did a full page ad that can cost 634 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: around twenty to forty thousand dollars and you think about, okay, well, yeah, 635 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: it would have cost a shitload to get all those 636 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: influencers there, but think of the massive reach that they've 637 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: managed to achieve by doing that. 638 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 3: Yeah. 639 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: Well, on Friday's episode, when we spoke to Britney Saunders, 640 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: she revealed that influencers don't actually get paid a fee 641 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: to appear on a brand trip. So you know all 642 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: that the tart brand trips, they basically just get paid 643 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: to fly over and their meals get paid for. And 644 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: I would kind of put this event into the status 645 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: of a brand trip because they were flying the influencers over, 646 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: So you're thinking that they actually weren't physically paid for 647 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,479 Speaker 1: the appearance, but they were paid in the form of 648 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: a trip because, like it was, they were having so 649 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: much fun with all their friends. Yes, yeah, So what 650 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: I mean is if you added up how much each 651 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: of the influencers would actually charge to post about Stacks 652 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: on their Instagram and you compare it to the cost 653 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: of flying them over and making them feel really special. 654 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 2: It would be a lot lower. So they've actually done 655 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 2: quite well. 656 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: Well. We've just been talking about the Stacks event, and 657 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: I suppose this story has kind of stemmed from there 658 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: because it involves Talia Scains. So she seemed to make 659 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: a bit of a weekend of the event, and she 660 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: had a shopping day in Sydney, so for those who 661 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: don't know, she's actually originally from the Gold Coast. Now, 662 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: Talia decided to share this story with her Instagram followers. Like, 663 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: my body's like trying to fight off a seiness. Though 664 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if you can cate my boys, I've 665 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: got like a sore throat and a cough and last 666 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: time and I was trying to sleep, my sware throat 667 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: was so thought anyway, it's got some alma. 668 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 2: Force and to try and knock it on its head. 669 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 2: Except for like, my body is just yeah. 670 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: Trying to fight it. Got myself a Chai latte on 671 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: oat milk, and I am just wandering out the city 672 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: and do a little shopping. 673 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 2: I'm try not to buy anything, but I've got a fist, 674 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 2: so I want to go in too, so I'm going 675 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 2: to do that. This morning and then I'm going to 676 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 2: the back cover inst to pot Lallas. 677 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: So there she is outsick as a dog, complaining of 678 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: a sore throat and a cough. These are symptoms of COVID. 679 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: I could not believe this. And then the excuse that 680 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: because she's worked in a pharmacy, she knows her body 681 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: and you know she just needs to take this medicine. 682 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: Hang on, you need to go get a COVID test. 683 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: It's so responsible though, because one, I just think, why 684 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: are you posting this on your Insta story because she'rely 685 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: going to cop backlash over it. And two it seems 686 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: to be a trend because I've seen other influencers. There 687 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: was Madison Woolly and her friendship group were all complaining 688 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: about being really sick, and none of them said that 689 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: they went and got COVID tests. Yeah. Well, Madison Moolly 690 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: actually had to pull her YouTube video because she got 691 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: so much flak over putting up that she was sick. 692 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: Yet they went out and about getting juices and going 693 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: to expensive restaurants in Sydney. They're the type of people though, 694 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: that could probably take a bit of time off work 695 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: to go and get the test. I mean that's what 696 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: I don't understand. Just go and get a test and 697 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: actually promote that to your depressionable followers, so people follow suit. 698 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: We're living in a pandemic at the moment. Well, I 699 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: can relate to this very much, so because I have 700 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: had a bad cold and I went and got a 701 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: COVID test straight away, And I actually feel like there 702 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: seems to be a bit of judgment, particularly if influencers 703 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: are putting up that, oh, I've got a cold and 704 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: I'm fine. I don't you know, sometimes you feel melodramatic 705 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: about doing it, and even at work I felt slightly awkward. 706 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: So I just really want to normalize the fact that 707 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: you do need to get a COVID test, even if 708 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: you know you don't have COVID, if you show any 709 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: of the symptoms. It is the most responsible thing you 710 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: can do, and a lot of people will respect you 711 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: for it, and it doesn't take very long at all, 712 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 1: and it's really not painful. Also, can we normalize not 713 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: going out when you're sick as well, because even if 714 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 1: you don't have COVID, it's so irresponsible and it's also 715 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: crazy because I went and got my flu shot the 716 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: other week and apparently there were only twelve cases of 717 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: the flu in South Australia compared to I think it 718 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: was two thousand this time last year. And the fact 719 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: of the matter is it's because people have actually been 720 00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: staying home when they're sick and actually washing their hands. 721 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 2: Most people yea, yeah, well a lot of people have. 722 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: So it shows that if you just stay home and 723 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: you wash your bloody hands, it can stop the spread 724 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: of all types of different illnesses. 725 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 2: It stresses me out so much I want to fucking eate. 726 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: Let's get into the reality rap and we need to 727 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: talk about Celebrity Apprentice Australia. It has quickly become my 728 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: favorite show. Amy, have you been enjoying it as well? 729 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: I'm addicted to Celebrity Apprentice. I've got to say this 730 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,719 Speaker 1: might be an unpopular opinion, but I've been loving Martha 731 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: on there, and I've also loved the veronicas. Yeah, I've 732 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: been loving the way she has been standing up for 733 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: herself and that's the whole point of the show, Like 734 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: you've got to be aggressive in the boardroom to stay there. 735 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: Perhaps it's a generational thing because I was talking to 736 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: Teresa's mum and she can't stand Martha, and neither can 737 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: our dad. Well so's boyfriend isn't her biggest fan either, 738 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: but I can see what people are saying. She obviously 739 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: doesn't hold back when she's telling people what to do, 740 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: but as a character on a TV show, I find 741 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 1: her really entertaining. YEP. Which really interesting because the Veronicas 742 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: have actually hit out at Celebrity Apprentice and they've labeled 743 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: it as a script drama and claimed that the show 744 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: has purposely edited them to look bad. So their comments 745 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,280 Speaker 1: followed a clip which showed the Veronicas arguing while recording 746 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,919 Speaker 1: their sit down interview as part of the show. Let's 747 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: go to the clip. 748 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,959 Speaker 2: I think he was just really focused on getting it done. 749 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 2: I think he's can you just say it? Please? My 750 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 2: patience is getting thin. 751 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 1: So if you know what it needs to be said, 752 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,280 Speaker 1: because if you know what needs to be said, please 753 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 1: say it. 754 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 2: It's not important that I say this. Okakay, I'm just 755 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 2: letting you know something. You're being a bit I'm irritated, lady. 756 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: For you is for you to say it rather than 757 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 1: tell me how to say it. 758 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 2: Do you understand? 759 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 1: Okay? Thank you? 760 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 2: That would be helpful. It's about being helpful. I need 761 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 2: to take a moment after that. Okay, please stop. 762 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: I bloody enjoy that so much. I feel like that 763 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: is literally an unedited version of our podcast recording. 764 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 2: I know I feel sorry for them. 765 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 1: I felt bad when I saw that had been aired, 766 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: because I feel like only really close sisters would understand. 767 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 1: I didn't feel bad for them because that was literally 768 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,280 Speaker 1: everything that was on their reality. 769 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,399 Speaker 2: Show that they approved. So what's the difference. That's true. 770 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 1: The thing with the Veronicas is I think they were 771 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 1: only rude to each other. They were never rude to 772 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 1: other people. We haven't seen the whole thing unfold, so 773 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: maybe they're preempting something because there is. There was a 774 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: clip I saw for an upcoming episode and just did 775 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: seem a little bit rude. I love when they I 776 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: love their passive aggressiveness. So it's like babe or my love. Well, 777 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 1: Jess and Lisa wrote on social media. We came on 778 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: the show to raise money for charity and awareness for 779 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,919 Speaker 1: the Brain Foundation. We didn't need to do this show 780 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: for exposure. We signed on because they stressed and emphasized 781 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,399 Speaker 1: it would be a show with heart. Given we had 782 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 1: to take physical time away from our mama to do it. 783 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 1: Everyone knows us fighting is a part of our brand. 784 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 1: That doesn't bother us. What does is bringing us on 785 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: board under the pretense of heart, then editing out why 786 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: we were there in the first place, our love for 787 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 1: our team, leaving us only with drama. Our charity deserves 788 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: so much better. Well, for those who aren't aware, the 789 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 1: Veronica's mom suffers from a rare cerebe disorder and that 790 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 1: is why they have chosen the Brain Foundation as the 791 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: charity they would like to support. So I feel their 792 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,840 Speaker 1: pain because I think it was an important part of 793 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: their story, and I do think it should have been mentioned. 794 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it was touched upon, but they've obviously chose 795 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: to focus on more of the drama. And it does 796 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 1: sound like a lot of the celebrities who signed on 797 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: to Celebrity Apprentice genuinely wanted to be on there to 798 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: support their charities. Do you actually think though, I honestly do, 799 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,360 Speaker 1: because there have been reports about how much each of 800 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: the contestants were being paid, and it's considerably lower compared 801 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 1: to celebrities who have appeared on I'm a Celebrit, Get 802 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: Me out of Here and Dancing. 803 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 2: With the Stars. 804 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: So Michelle Bridges and Whipper they were paid the most 805 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: to appear on Celebrity Apprentice, and they earned fifty thousand 806 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: dollars each. So why is Whipper being paid the most? 807 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 1: I don't get it because for me, he's a very 808 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: background like. I mean, he's been quite entertaining, but I 809 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 1: wouldn't give a shit about seeing Wipper on it. 810 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 2: I know I was surprised too. 811 00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: I suppose he's probably big in Sydney. The Ronicas received 812 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: together sixty thousand dollars, Anthony Calea and Ross Noble each 813 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: received thirty thousand dollars, and we haven't heard what the 814 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 1: other guys were getting because I would say Anthony Collier 815 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: and Ross Noble were much bigger celebrities than Michelle Bridges 816 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: and Whipper, because I feel like both of those two 817 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: actually are going to benefit from the exposure, because Michelle 818 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 1: Bridges is trying to redeem herself after she was caught 819 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 1: drunk driving with her child in the car, and I 820 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 1: think for Whipper it's all about building his profile. But 821 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,800 Speaker 1: for Anthony Khalia and Ross Noble, they have pretty successful 822 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 1: careers already, as do the Veronicas. One thing that's pissed 823 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: me off about The Apprentice is the fact that the 824 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: Veronicas have to act as a partnership. Like I don't 825 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: get it, Like, yes, they're twins, but why are they 826 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: considered one person? This is something that's always really pissed 827 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 1: me off as a multiple birth. Well, I wonder if 828 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 1: they had a part of making that decision, whether they 829 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,799 Speaker 1: just wanted to play as one person or want entity. 830 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: I would have found it much more entertaining if they 831 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 1: were versing each other and to see that competitive side. Well, 832 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,919 Speaker 1: who's your pick to win the Celebrity Apprentice? Well, isn't 833 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: there a rumor that Alan Sugars is following Martha? Yeah, 834 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 1: so she is the only contestant that Lord Sugar has 835 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 1: gone and followed on Instagram. Love how you're saying Lord Sugar, Like, 836 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 1: I love when they're like his lordship. I love Alan Sugar. 837 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 1: I think he's great. But yeah, so he's followed her. 838 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,320 Speaker 1: So a lot of people think that. 839 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 2: Means she must win. 840 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,800 Speaker 1: But I don't know if I can see Martha taking 841 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: it out. I actually can because she's been very ballsy 842 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 1: and I think you know, she has what it takes 843 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: to win in the boardroom.
