Speaker 1: This is Outspoken, the podcast It's not afraid to say
Speaker 1: exactly what you're thinking. Our names are Amy Kay and
Speaker 1: Sophie Torva. We're identical triplets that we often don't have
Speaker 1: identical opinions, so sometimes things can get heated. Outspoken covers
Speaker 1: all things reality TV, influences, entertainment, and issues facing women.
Speaker 1: That is so fat. Thank you, Welcome back to another
Speaker 1: episode of Outspoken. Now, we thought we'd give you a
Speaker 1: bit of a wrap up of our weekend and what
Speaker 1: we've been up to. But basically, the most interesting thing
Speaker 1: we have been doing is watching Love Island UK. I
Speaker 1: have been so excited about the return of Love Island.
Speaker 1: It just seems like there's some normality in the world
Speaker 1: now that it's back on. It really gives you a
Speaker 1: reason to live during I know, I've been having the
Speaker 1: fire going and watching Love Island. I was eating sombreros
Speaker 1: last night. It was just perfect. Well, what was everyone's
Speaker 1: first impressions of the Islanders? Well, the only one that
Speaker 1: I've really it's really caught my eye is Brad and
Speaker 1: I do hate his name because that's the name of
Speaker 1: my ex boyfriend, but he is hot now he is
Speaker 1: a laborer I mean, there's not too much I know
Speaker 1: else about him other in the bag that he is
Speaker 1: smoking hot. Oh no. He lives with his grandma, looks
Speaker 1: after and they've got a little dog that lives with them.
Speaker 1: The other thing I know about Brad is his tan
Speaker 1: is incredibly dark, and I do not know how I'm
Speaker 1: guessing solarium tan. I was wondering because apparently the Islanders
Speaker 1: have been sent over to Spain and they've had to
Speaker 1: do the fourteen day quarantine, and I just thought, has
Speaker 1: he just sat himself on a sun lounge and just
Speaker 1: gone wilde? It looked like a few of them had.
Speaker 1: It made me feel uncomfortable. I did really like the
Speaker 1: fact that there was some product placement of suncream. It
Speaker 1: was only thirty plus. I mean, hopefully next time they
Speaker 1: do fifty plus, but I feel like it was a
Speaker 1: step in the right direction. I just wish they'd show
Speaker 1: them putting it on well. I wonder if that's because
Speaker 1: past contestant Molly May has spoken about having melanoma, and
Speaker 1: whether they've made conscious effort to have to keep them safe.
Speaker 1: I hope so doesn't look like it by the tans
Speaker 1: they're sporting currently. What did everybody think about the choice
Speaker 1: in the contestants, because obviously there's a huge number of
Speaker 1: people they could have put into the villa first up,
Speaker 1: but they've chosen this bunch of people. I was a
Speaker 1: little bit disappointed, if I'm honest. I do think it's
Speaker 1: interesting to analyze this first group of people because historically
Speaker 1: these are the people that stay around on the show,
Speaker 1: and I think it's quite clear that these people have
Speaker 1: strong personalities. So I did find some of them annoying.
Speaker 1: But I feel like they're going to be the people
Speaker 1: that bring the entertainment, and that they'll have a lot
Speaker 1: of other people coming through and being a part of
Speaker 1: the storyline, but these are going to be the set people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they also have a purpose, don't they, Because you can
Speaker 1: already see there's gonna be some fights that are gonna
Speaker 1: bubble over. Of course there are. I actually really like
Speaker 1: Fae out of the girls. I think she's gonna be
Speaker 1: really really funny. She's the one that's been partnered up
Speaker 1: with Brad originally. I also think Chloe, So Chloe was
Speaker 1: the intruder that came in. She seems like she's ready
Speaker 1: to sort of ruffle a few feathers and everybody's loving Sharon.
Speaker 1: In the UK, Sharon has been shouted as the big
Speaker 1: feminist of it. Everyone's loving her. I actually didn't really
Speaker 1: like her. So Brand's and a nice sat and watched
Speaker 1: together and we thought that she wasn't that nice, Actually, Sharon,
Speaker 1: I know I did not like her. I was thinking
Speaker 1: of the blonde girl. No, I didn't like her. So
Speaker 1: she's but she's gonna get good, is she? Well? I
Speaker 1: think she's really all about girl power and standing up
Speaker 1: for herself. Because there was a bit of contention over
Speaker 1: the fact that Hugo or mister Hammond, the teacher, he
Speaker 1: made some comments saying that he didn't think that she
Speaker 1: was sort of worthy of bringing home to mum and dad.
Speaker 1: And this is after the challenge where they dressed up
Speaker 1: as horny devil's and revealed secrets about themselves. This is
Speaker 1: after the teacher basically had it revealed on international television
Speaker 1: that he had sex with somebody in the middle of
Speaker 1: a street and kissed ten women in a night. He's
Speaker 1: saying that he doesn't think Sharon's good enough to bring her.
Speaker 1: I find that a really bizarre comment to make from him,
Speaker 1: because she is one of the testines who has a
Speaker 1: really impressive job. She's obviously a very intelligent girl. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well she's a civil servant. She makes legislation up and
Speaker 1: she When I heard that, it made me think, is
Speaker 1: she going to be like Camilla from a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago, she who was quite she stood out from
Speaker 1: the pack because she wasn't like all the other girls. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she wasn't really willing to talk about anything sexual, but
Speaker 1: it was quite clear that Sharon wasn't like that. She
Speaker 1: did fit in with the girls. Well, it's quite interesting
Speaker 1: because I feel like Hugo. So mister Hammond, as I mentioned,
Speaker 1: he's been a really divisive character and I thought he
Speaker 1: seemed really lovely when he came in. He gave me
Speaker 1: doctor Alex vice from a few years ago. But apparently,
Speaker 1: unsurprisingly the school he used to work for and not
Speaker 1: too happy that he's appeared on Love Island. I mean
Speaker 1: the promotion around the fact he's a teacher. He was
Speaker 1: heard saying this is definitely going to be a mister
Speaker 1: Hammond summer, No Detention's all fun, top mark, So that's
Speaker 1: the dream. When I saw this, I thought, shit, that
Speaker 1: skill is not going to be yeah big yeah. But
Speaker 1: the thing is so the school aren't accepting him back.
Speaker 1: But do you really think he wants to go back
Speaker 1: to his teaching role. These people that appear on Love Island,
Speaker 1: they get international fame and most of them end up
Speaker 1: as influences, earning a lot of bank fut It's exactly
Speaker 1: what I explained to Brandon, because he actually sat down
Speaker 1: and watched the first two episodes with me and he said, gee,
Speaker 1: that guy is going to lose his job. And I said,
Speaker 1: he probably wants to lose a job. It's his gimmick
Speaker 1: into getting into Love Island being a teacher. I found
Speaker 1: the statement from the school quite funny. It said mister
Speaker 1: Hammond was here on a very short placement during his
Speaker 1: teacher training in the spring term. He was not employed
Speaker 1: by the school, and then the spokesperson declined to reveal more,
Speaker 1: adding we have no further comment to make. Wow. So
Speaker 1: who would you guys have stepped forward for. I actually
Speaker 1: already know this answer, because we've all been sending this
Speaker 1: name snapchat around of this contest. Well, I actually initially
Speaker 1: thought that I would have stepped forward for mister Hammond
Speaker 1: because I thought he had not Brad. Well. This is
Speaker 1: before Brad came out because Brad came out last.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I felt like I'd have more to chat to him about,
Speaker 1: and I thought that he would have, as you said, Amy,
Speaker 1: the Doctor Alex appeal, where he'd really grow on you. Okay,
Speaker 1: well let's go through the guy. So Jake came out.
Speaker 1: He was the guy with the tattoos, the hairy chest,
Speaker 1: and he was quite short, and I would have not
Speaker 1: stepped forward for him. I think I just I could
Speaker 1: just tell. I was like, no, this is not my
Speaker 1: set of person. Too into the gym. I do think
Speaker 1: that he and his partner, Liberty, they do suit each other.
Speaker 1: I was disappointed that he was saying that he didn't
Speaker 1: really fancy her that much, but she said the same
Speaker 1: thing about him. To be fair, I think that's when
Speaker 1: you first meet people you don't know yet, and it's
Speaker 1: not until the jealousy of other people come in that
Speaker 1: you realize how much you like someone. I'm going to
Speaker 1: put it out there. I do think this pair will
Speaker 1: be a bit of a power couple and be around
Speaker 1: for a long time. Well then there was Aaron, and
Speaker 1: there were two girls who stepped forward to him. He
Speaker 1: was lovely, nice and tall, but I got a bit
Speaker 1: of like a smarmy vibe off him. See, I didn't
Speaker 1: like that he said, oh, I'm a model, But then
Speaker 1: it turned out that he was studying commerce. I would
Speaker 1: have led with that to begin with. Yeah, he of
Speaker 1: course picked Shannon, and she actually didn't step forward for him,
Speaker 1: so that was pretty interesting. He just went with who
Speaker 1: he thought was the most attractive. But it doesn't seem
Speaker 1: to be working out because there's literally no chemistry between
Speaker 1: those I say, she had an incredible figure. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I know her ass like that. That was the first
Speaker 1: shot that they opened the whole show up with. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my good, it looks bear. Then there
Speaker 1: was Toby. I didn't really I don't really like his jokes. Toby.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would have step forward. I
Speaker 1: was not surprised that no one stepped forward for him,
Speaker 1: because he just didn't bring it, like you've got to
Speaker 1: bring it when you walk out there. Apparently all the
Speaker 1: girls were annoyed that the guys didn't give them eye contact.
Speaker 1: I thought this is pretty interesting because I suppose if
Speaker 1: you're having to step forward, you're really putting yourself out there,
Speaker 1: so you're trying to get a vibe off a guys,
Speaker 1: do you know what if I was on the show,
Speaker 1: I'd be waiting for the last guy because they seem
Speaker 1: to always bring the hottest guy, because obviously it sounds
Speaker 1: so shallow, but this show is initially based off looks,
Speaker 1: and then they get to know each other and that's
Speaker 1: when all the recoupling happens. But let's be honest. They
Speaker 1: left Brad at the end so all the girls would
Speaker 1: step forward. And the funny thing is we're all frothing
Speaker 1: over him, but it seems to be that he doesn't
Speaker 1: have the best personality at the moment. What a surprise. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean fact. I mean he tried to sell it
Speaker 1: that he You know, everyone thinks I'd be outshagging all
Speaker 1: these girls, but I'm not, and I live with my nana.
Speaker 1: But I kind of think it's this. He's putting on
Speaker 1: this nice guy act, but he's so good looking that
Speaker 1: I just don't trust him. I don't know about I
Speaker 1: don't know. I want to see what happens with him
Speaker 1: because I think that people are judging him as well
Speaker 1: based on his looks, and you think he would be
Speaker 1: a bad boy, but he might not be. He seems
Speaker 1: very small. Well, he was in an eight and a
Speaker 1: half year relationship, so maybe he is looking for the
Speaker 1: right person or he just wants to go on this
Speaker 1: show and have some fun. Yeah, but he's been a
Speaker 1: complete dick to Fae. I mean, that wasn't very nice
Speaker 1: what he did. There is somebody that Brad looks like,
Speaker 1: though I've seen him before. I think it's someone from
Speaker 1: The Only Ways Essex because it's the one that was
Speaker 1: dating Lauren Pope. Yes, We've got to put the photo
Speaker 1: in the community because I was trying Joey Essex. It
Speaker 1: was so Yes, that is who he looks like, because
Speaker 1: he's got the same accent as well. Are you following
Speaker 1: Brad on Instagram or is at a no? No, not yet.
Speaker 1: I know Sophie won't be allowed to. It was funny
Speaker 1: because I did ask Reese before Love Islands started. I said,
Speaker 1: will you watch Love Island with me? And he said yes.
Speaker 1: So he was at basketball training the night. I watched
Speaker 1: the first couple of episodes and he came back in
Speaker 1: when they were doing the Horny Devil task and it
Speaker 1: just cracked me up. I'm like sitting in a blanket
Speaker 1: with Shadow on the couch, like watching these hot guys
Speaker 1: go down this slippery dip into ice. He just walked
Speaker 1: in at that exact time. I feel like everyone who
Speaker 1: sits down with their partner also says, oh, who would
Speaker 1: you pick? On the first episode. It's always funny hearing
Speaker 1: really he did Brandon pick? Well, Brandon's first pick was Fae,
Speaker 1: but then when Chloe came in, he said, Oh, they've
Speaker 1: clearly kept Chloe to the end because she's the pick out.
Speaker 1: Really loves them. That's interesting. I felt like watching the
Speaker 1: show that I'm getting old because some of their bathing suits.
Speaker 1: I was like, the under boob was extreme. I've never it's,
Speaker 1: particularly with Sharon. I thought, Wow, they're so perch. They
Speaker 1: all looks amazing, But I just I don't if I'd
Speaker 1: have the confidence to rock that under boo. Bunny, Well,
Speaker 1: I don't have any boobs, so under over bloody side,
Speaker 1: I have to say Love Island is just a cut
Speaker 1: above too hot to handle. Something about watching too hot
Speaker 1: to handle it? I actually feel really gross. Yeah, I feel dirty.
Speaker 1: Amy and I watched it last week and you kind
Speaker 1: of enjoy the first couple of episodes, but haven't been
Speaker 1: drawn to watch it again. I do agree Sophie having
Speaker 1: watched Too Hot to Handle. It is just not on
Speaker 1: the same playing field. I feel dirty watching it. I
Speaker 1: think it's because it's so sex based and it's all
Speaker 1: about the contestants wanting to have sex that you don't
Speaker 1: really get to know their personalities, whereas Love Island you
Speaker 1: do get to know who they are, but they also
Speaker 1: have those lame challenges where people are supposed to find themselves.
Speaker 1: It's like, at least be like Love Island and just
Speaker 1: know that it's smart, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: just embrace it on the challenges. I do wonder if
Speaker 1: they're going to be including some of the same because
Speaker 1: we haven't seen Love Island since the pandemic. Because remember
Speaker 1: they have that challenge where they'll make a milkshake and
Speaker 1: they'll have to transport the food from one islander to
Speaker 1: the other islanders. Now, yeah, and it's disgusting, I'm thinking
Speaker 1: in the pandemic. I don't know if that's going to
Speaker 1: be appropriate. That being said, the host did say that
Speaker 1: they're in their own sex bubble, so maybe it is acceptable.
Speaker 2: I love and our Little Dog definitely wouldn't regard me
Speaker 2: enough or any I'm brad, I'm twenty six and I'm
Speaker 2: a lea role. I've been single for two years, recently
Speaker 2: been in a long term relationship, and now I'm ready
Speaker 2: to find the one.
Speaker 1: Adams Paul and his girlfriend Mikayla Tester have come up
Speaker 1: with a rather unusual name for their new Sphinx Kitten.
Speaker 1: Adas has christened the hairless cat healthy Sergeant Montgomery nutsak
Speaker 1: fuck the fourth Oh my god. He's also referred to
Speaker 1: the cat as a piece of shit hairless cat. So
Speaker 1: this is what he had to say on his sister
Speaker 1: Anna Paul's TikTok vlog about picking up the cat. So
Speaker 1: we're about to buy a nutsack cat? What's his name is?
Speaker 2: Healthy Sergeant Montgomery nutsack fuck?
Speaker 1: Before we're sobbing this seven eleven money for a pie
Speaker 1: hairless nuts I see a nutsack? What a little nutsick.
Speaker 1: You can't even pat them because there's too many skinfolds.
Speaker 1: As an animal lover, I just find it appalling to
Speaker 1: give your animals such a name. I don't know, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of disrespect going on towards the ANIMALOK. It's
Speaker 1: always hard to come up with a name for an
Speaker 1: animal that you like. But I think you're scraping the
Speaker 1: barrel a bit when you're calling it nutsack. I can
Speaker 1: see the humor around it, but I feel like, ok,
Speaker 1: it's a bald cat. Yeah, because it's a bald cat,
Speaker 1: but they've literally purchased the cat. I feel as a
Speaker 1: TikTok prop to get a laugh out of it. I
Speaker 1: feel sorry for the cat. It's such a cute looking
Speaker 1: cat and they're just humiliating it on TikTok. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: they're treating it like a toy or a possession, and
Speaker 1: it does remind me of when Rachel got the cat,
Speaker 1: the Sphinx cat on Friends and how Gunfer actually ended
Speaker 1: up looking after it and nobody wanted the cat. I
Speaker 1: just hope that in this case it's not just used
Speaker 1: as something on TikTok for a laugh and then they
Speaker 1: just sort of don't look after it because Sphinx cats
Speaker 1: need a lot of special care. Apparently their skin needs
Speaker 1: to be moisturized. Look, I think they're probably going to
Speaker 1: be looking after the cat quite well. In the videos,
Speaker 1: it did seem like they were taking care of it,
Speaker 1: But I do think the issue is in the disrespect
Speaker 1: towards the animal. It does seem very off. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: definitely think it's disrespectful and as you touched on, Kay,
Speaker 1: I do think that this cat was purchased for TikTok views.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine though, if the cat goes missing, you know,
Speaker 1: I have to call your cat and I'm like did
Speaker 1: you They're like, Nutsack, just come here, Nutsacked. Well, apparently
Speaker 1: they're actually going as far as getting it micro chipped
Speaker 1: under the name Nutsack. So it's not even like it's
Speaker 1: a funny nickname, because I think a lot of us
Speaker 1: all have funny nicknames for our pets, but they still
Speaker 1: have their official name. You It's like those situations where
Speaker 1: you think something is so funny at home, and then
Speaker 1: you go into a professional situation like at the vet,
Speaker 1: where you have to actually say the name. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't think that they would be embarrassed at all. On
Speaker 1: the topic of addas Paul, what did you guys think
Speaker 1: about him at renting out a penthouse hotel during the lockdown. Well,
Speaker 1: he's done this apparently because he thought he would get
Speaker 1: bored of his regular rental. I mean, I feel like
Speaker 1: a lot of people wish they had the money to
Speaker 1: go and do that. It's a little bit over the
Speaker 1: top in my way, wy so did he also get
Speaker 1: the cat nutsack during the lockdown? Is this like a
Speaker 1: lockdown purchase? It appears he has. So did you see
Speaker 1: how much those cats are? I googled it two thousand
Speaker 1: dollars for a Sphinx kit. That doesn't surprise me. We've
Speaker 1: paid a lot for bailing and well, I mean, I
Speaker 1: wonder if there'll be more and more people buying these
Speaker 1: bald cats now, like whether there will be a rise
Speaker 1: in gen zett as with Boldcat. Maybe he's going to
Speaker 1: bring out another coin and call it nutsack.
Speaker 3: As I have provided feedback, you know, I've had plenty
Speaker 3: of people reach out and say, oh my god, you're
Speaker 3: so ungrateful. Ah listen, Karen, listen, Chrissy hyphen Lee, listen, Sheryl.
Speaker 3: I don't need your feedback. I don't care. I'm paying
Speaker 3: for this, and so just what I need you to
Speaker 3: do is really get centered with the edge of fucking off, unfollow, unsubscribed, delete, unmatch.
Speaker 3: I don't really know what it is that we've got
Speaker 3: ourselves into here. What this relationship is where you feel
Speaker 3: like I care about your opinion but we need to
Speaker 3: back it up, is really what I'm looking for.
Speaker 1: Anyway, on Thursday, Sarah's Day announced a partnership with GHD
Speaker 1: hair Straighteners. Now this raised some eyebrows because Sarah has
Speaker 1: been very vocal about not wanting to use heating tools
Speaker 1: on her hair in recent times. Look, I don't blame
Speaker 1: her as someone that has had very damaged and fine
Speaker 1: hair quite similar to what her hair is like at
Speaker 1: the moment. I literally had to swear off my GHD
Speaker 1: hair straightener as well, so I feel her pain. And
Speaker 1: that's why it particularly surprised me when I did see
Speaker 1: her promoting this hair straighter, because I was like, hang on,
Speaker 1: you're not meant to be using that. Because she has
Speaker 1: uploaded a YouTube video recently where she was trying to
Speaker 1: embrace her naturally curly hair, so she tested out the
Speaker 1: Curly Girl hair method. She's also done it last year,
Speaker 1: I believe, and it just seemed a bit disingenuine to
Speaker 1: then suddenly be spooking a GHD hair straightener when you
Speaker 1: said you're not going to be using one, and it's
Speaker 1: not just the Curly Girl video on its own. I
Speaker 1: feel like she has been really taking us through this
Speaker 1: hair journey of hers, which is quite convenient because she
Speaker 1: is spooking at the moment Tripeka hair Supplements, which is
Speaker 1: supposed to help grow your hair grow quicker. And a
Speaker 1: lot of eagle eyed followers have picked up the contradiction
Speaker 1: around now promoting this Tripeka hair pill because Sarah has
Speaker 1: her own product called body Bloom, and after she gave
Speaker 1: birth the Fox, and during her pregnancy she put her
Speaker 1: hair growth and it thickening up down to the fact
Speaker 1: that she was taking body Bloom. But now she's suddenly saying, oh, no,
Speaker 1: hang on, you actually have to have these pills in
Speaker 1: order to get your hair grown. And I think that's
Speaker 1: the thing that has been annoying people is the fact
Speaker 1: that one moment she's spooking one product and claiming this
Speaker 1: is helping her hair growth. The next she's taking on
Speaker 1: a new hair journey saying no, you need these pills
Speaker 1: and I'm doing the Curly Girl method, And then next
Speaker 1: time it's GHD hair Straightness. Yeah. I know. And I
Speaker 1: feel like some people might be like, well, just let
Speaker 1: her do whatever she wants with her hair, but I
Speaker 1: feel like, because she has this personal brand, she has
Speaker 1: not really thought about her brand alignment very well, because
Speaker 1: it just makes her seem a bit disingenuine and happy
Speaker 1: to sort of take on any type of sponsorship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree, Kay, I mean, I don't care if Sarah
Speaker 1: wears her hair curly or wears her hair straight. It's
Speaker 1: up to her at the end of the day. I
Speaker 1: don't think this was a very good branding move by
Speaker 1: GHD either that you should have known if you're trying
Speaker 1: to give your hair straightness to all these influences, you
Speaker 1: should be monitoring them. And no, Sarah has been pushing
Speaker 1: a curly girl non heating method for the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. I do feel like Sarah was a good
Speaker 1: candidate in the fact that she is a mum on
Speaker 1: the go and it kind of makes sense from that perspective. However,
Speaker 1: as you said, the manager or influencer manager for GHD,
Speaker 1: it really should have checked out a YouTube channel to
Speaker 1: find out this curly girl method was going on, because
Speaker 1: a lot of people were commenting what about the curly
Speaker 1: girl method. The other sort of awkward element about the
Speaker 1: campaign was it was promoting hair straighteners that you're supposed
Speaker 1: to take with you on the go, and obviously majority
Speaker 1: of the influencers were in lockdown, so they're not being
Speaker 1: able they're having to stage these photo shoots exactly. And
Speaker 1: for those who don't know, the hair straightener actually cost
Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy five dollars. I'd know about you,
Speaker 1: But if I'm worried about my job because of COVID
Speaker 1: or in lockdown, I'm not going to be splashing out
Speaker 1: on a hair straightener that I can take around when
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I'll be out and abouts
Speaker 1: anytime soon. At the end of the day, I'd love
Speaker 1: to know who is actually in charge of Sarah's brand deals.
Speaker 1: Is it Sarah herself? Because in the past, I actually
Speaker 1: think she's done a great job aligning herself with brands
Speaker 1: that she actually uses. So it's always that Sarah will
Speaker 1: bring out a brand, bring out a product with a
Speaker 1: brand such as White Fox Boota, but it's her line
Speaker 1: of stuff. Well, hang on, does she use the stuff?
Speaker 1: Because she always used to be talking about Loving Earth,
Speaker 1: and she brought out her fruit and nut mix with
Speaker 1: Loving Earth. However, since that partnership has finished, we don't
Speaker 1: hear anything about Locke. I mean, you're right, but I'm
Speaker 1: saying she generally aligns herself with brands that do fit
Speaker 1: her profile. It's Core brands. She doesn't just go with everyone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's got ongoing partnership, I mean, but now that's changed,
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I wonder if GHD will be
Speaker 1: an ongoing partner and if we won't hear about this
Speaker 1: Curly Girl hair method anymore. Well, in regards to what
Speaker 1: Sarah actually posted on her Instagram, it was really strange
Speaker 1: because she didn't actually include in the Insta story that
Speaker 1: it was an AD, so she did not disclose the
Speaker 1: fact that it was an AD. That's not really that
Speaker 1: strange because that's quite hermo on Instagram. She very rarely
Speaker 1: disclosures AD partnerships. However, she did say at the start
Speaker 1: of the video like I've partnered with GHD, but as
Speaker 1: we know, that's really not enough to fit the guide
Speaker 1: lines at the moment. Well, the other thing that she
Speaker 1: didn't do, which a lot of the other influencers did,
Speaker 1: was actually show the final results of the hair straightening either.
Speaker 1: I found that very strange. It was all of a
Speaker 1: sudden once the hair was done, she just shoved it
Speaker 1: behind her back, and to me, that really showed that
Speaker 1: she's very insecure about her hair, which I do feel
Speaker 1: very sorry for her, because with anyone that has fine
Speaker 1: hair and has dye their hair and used hair straighten
Speaker 1: as too much, no, that your hair can get in
Speaker 1: a very bad condition very quickly. Yeah. But then strangely enough,
Speaker 1: then she includes a photo of herself with massive long
Speaker 1: hair extensions straightened. I don't know, it was all a
Speaker 1: bit of a shambles. Well, I did notice that Sarah
Speaker 1: did correctly tag the partnership on the post in the feet.
Speaker 1: I wonder if this was direction from GHD, because I
Speaker 1: did see Georgie Stevenson did the same thing in an
Speaker 1: attempt to embrace my natural wave and like not use
Speaker 1: heat and build up the volume and the overall health
Speaker 1: of my hair and my scalp. I'm going to try
Speaker 1: to embrace my wavy hair for the next few weeks
Speaker 1: and not use heat on it. Well, I mean, like,
Speaker 1: if I've got to go somewhere, I have to use
Speaker 1: my GHD and stuff. Kate Zepp has caused controversy online
Speaker 1: after saying she was not taking COVID seriously. So for
Speaker 1: those who don't know, Kate Zep is Chloe Zepp's sister.
Speaker 1: So what did these posts say? Well, Kate's post said
Speaker 1: there are two types of people in the world, the
Speaker 1: sheep and the conscious. The ones who watched the news
Speaker 1: in fear and all they talk about is how bad
Speaker 1: COVID is, or the ones who educate themselves and have
Speaker 1: an idea of what's occurring. You can't argue with stupid.
Speaker 1: If anyone who sees this and thinks I'm stupid for
Speaker 1: not taking COVID seriously, please unfollow me and never look
Speaker 1: at my page again. Well, I was hoping that she
Speaker 1: would literally have zero followers, but she's still got seventy
Speaker 1: three point one thousand followers. And I had a look
Speaker 1: at Social Blade and in the last thirty days she's
Speaker 1: only lost four hundred and twenty followers, So that's pretty disappointing. Well,
Speaker 1: as we were talking about on Friday's episode, I feel
Speaker 1: once someone says something controversial, people almost follow just to
Speaker 1: kind of get the popcorn ready and have a laugh
Speaker 1: at what's going on. I love how she says you
Speaker 1: can't argue is stupid. It's like, yes, you're definitely correct.
Speaker 1: That's the only correct thing you've said the whole time.
Speaker 1: I mean, I would have unfollowed her, but I never
Speaker 1: have followed her in the first place, and nor do
Speaker 1: I look at her content. I'm really over this narrative
Speaker 1: of influencers saying they've gone and educated themselves on a matter,
Speaker 1: when clearly all they've done is google information? What google
Speaker 1: stuff on the dark web. I'm going to stick with
Speaker 1: listening to the doctors and health professionals. I'm listening to
Speaker 1: Saint Nichola. Anyone in Adelaide will understand that.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: Kate Zep continued to go on this rant about COVID.
Speaker 1: She said, I'm sticking staunch to what I said yesterday.
Speaker 1: After all the replies I've got, I am deeply sad
Speaker 1: and to see how many of you are brainwashed. And
Speaker 1: to the woke people, I love you in my life
Speaker 1: only I'm not going to stop speaking my truth. I
Speaker 1: hope everyone reading this is mentally okay and getting through it.
Speaker 1: I'm currently on real estate dot Com looking for a
Speaker 1: block of land in the middle of nowhere to set
Speaker 1: up my life until i can move overseas because I'm
Speaker 1: over the simulation. Well, that personally sounds great to me.
Speaker 1: And while she does that, can she deactivate her Instagram
Speaker 1: account and stop spreading this dangerous misinformation. The speculation circling
Speaker 1: at the moment that if one ZEP sister feels a
Speaker 1: particular way about COVID, then possibly Chloe is also not
Speaker 1: taking COVID very seriously. Well. It did cross my mind,
Speaker 1: particularly because, as we discussed a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: Chloe was endorsing the hair salon that was not allowing
Speaker 1: people that had been vaccinated to come into the salon
Speaker 1: to get their hair done. It does seem to be
Speaker 1: all adding up that way, unfortunately, and I feel like
Speaker 1: it does kind of fit in with the woo woo
Speaker 1: narrative that Chloe has been pushing recently, and it did
Speaker 1: make me think I wonder if Kate is annoyed at
Speaker 1: Chloe for not speaking up about the issue, because she
Speaker 1: did write on her story PS. There are a lot
Speaker 1: of people who think the same as me, A lot
Speaker 1: of people who want to express their truth and tell
Speaker 1: everyone how they really feel, but they don't have the balls.
Speaker 1: They don't want to be criticized, they can't handle it.
Speaker 1: I'm not here to impress people or suck up people's asses.
Speaker 1: I have never been a people pleaser, nor do I
Speaker 1: get along with people pleasers. I've been open and honest.
Speaker 1: Something you should all try. Not sure about you, guys,
Speaker 1: but I'm so content with who I am. I have
Speaker 1: found myself. I stick up for what I believe in.
Speaker 1: Half of you couldn't relate, and that's totally okay. You'll
Speaker 1: get there. Sending love and light to you all, stay woke.
Speaker 1: So do you think that she is a little bit
Speaker 1: frustrated at a sister Chloe for not being outspoken on
Speaker 1: this topic. I think it could be possible. I mean,
Speaker 1: I would be annoyed if you guys behind closed doors
Speaker 1: were spooking something, but then we're hiding your actual thoughts
Speaker 1: on your platform. I can't help it.
Speaker 2: I didn't ask to be born hot.
Speaker 1: It's just like now, Sophy. I don't know whether I
Speaker 1: should bring this up, because I know you are still
Speaker 1: struggling with the rumors that Sammy Robinson and Nick Wheatley
Speaker 1: may be broken up. And there is a rumor out
Speaker 1: there that Tommy Fury has cheated on Molly May. Now
Speaker 1: it pains me to even say it because I love
Speaker 1: that couple. I just am feeling as though love is
Speaker 1: dead at the moment. If this rumor is true, I
Speaker 1: am happy to say that I do you think the
Speaker 1: rumor is a load of shit, So do I it's ridiculous. Well,
Speaker 1: for those who don't know what's been happening, there is
Speaker 1: an influencer called Becka Carriage. Now she's actually friends with
Speaker 1: Anastasia kings North and she recently has had a lot
Speaker 1: of rumor circulating about her because she went on her
Speaker 1: TikTok and said that she's contracted COVID and there seem
Speaker 1: to be a lot of cover ups going on and
Speaker 1: Anastasia was getting called out for not isolating. Well, a
Speaker 1: lot of people who know of Becka have described her
Speaker 1: as a clout chaser because she does seem to attach
Speaker 1: herself to other well known UK influences, and in this instance,
Speaker 1: that's what she's done. So she has posted some Instagram
Speaker 1: stories of her and Tommy out on the town and
Speaker 1: she's got her hand around Tommy's neck in quite a
Speaker 1: possessive way. I felt, But to me the photo did
Speaker 1: look like a fan photo and she's caused upset because
Speaker 1: she captured the photo Where's Molly. You could tell in
Speaker 1: Tommy's face he looked kind of uncomfortable. You know, he
Speaker 1: is sort of trying to smile, but you kind of
Speaker 1: know how it's gonna look. And this photo was taken
Speaker 1: out at a party. But what's really interesting is I
Speaker 1: had to look at Becka's Instagram and she actually doesn't
Speaker 1: follow Tommy, but she does follow Molly, So I thought,
Speaker 1: has this all been playing out of proportion? And is
Speaker 1: she a real fan girl of Love Island? And was saying, hey,
Speaker 1: where's Molly? That being said on her TikTok. About a
Speaker 1: year ago, she created this video where she highlighted the
Speaker 1: guys in the media that she had a crush on,
Speaker 1: and Tommy was one of the guys featured in this video.
Speaker 1: So maybe she's doing that thing where you don't follow
Speaker 1: someone because you hope maybe if you meet up with
Speaker 1: them one day you don't like some side. But then
Speaker 1: why would she be putting on her TikTok Tommy? That's true.
Speaker 1: It blew my mind that Becker was the same age
Speaker 1: as Tommy and Molly, because I still can't believe that
Speaker 1: Tommy and Molly are only twenty one, sorry, twenty two.
Speaker 1: They each look late twenties, and I'm not saying that offensively.
Speaker 1: I'm saying that they look very polish. But Anastasia and
Speaker 1: her friends they still look early twenties. Is it because
Speaker 1: we're now thirty two, so we're like, oh, they look so,
Speaker 1: you know, they look like one of us. I don't know,
Speaker 1: they just have a really especially just have an older
Speaker 1: vibe because there's not too many twenty one year olds
Speaker 1: I know that are living with their partners in flashy apartments,
Speaker 1: so maybe that's part of it. Well. Also, Molly does
Speaker 1: seem quite mature for her age, in the sense that
Speaker 1: she doesn't go out partying, she doesn't go out drinking,
Speaker 1: and I think that there must be a lot of
Speaker 1: trust involved in that relationship because she is happy for
Speaker 1: Tommy to be out on the town. There has been
Speaker 1: no comment yet from Molly May about the incident. I
Speaker 1: think she'd be silly to comment on it because I
Speaker 1: think it's been completely blown out of proportion. Can I say,
Speaker 1: what would you guys do if some girl took a
Speaker 1: photo with your boyfriend with their hand around his sort
Speaker 1: of neck in the way that she put her arm
Speaker 1: around Tommy. Well at the caption. Firstly, if it said
Speaker 1: where's Kate, I'd be pretty pissed. Oh my god, Kay,
Speaker 1: you would go absolutely berserk about this. I would either
Speaker 1: girl or at your boyfriend, Okay, we go with the
Speaker 1: girl Ireckon. Well, I'm a very Ella's person, so I
Speaker 1: would obviously want to hear what my boyfriend had to
Speaker 1: say about it. I'd probably be pissed off at them
Speaker 1: for taking a photo like that with a girl, But
Speaker 1: to be honest, my anger would probably be directed at
Speaker 1: the girl because it seems disrespectful to post that on
Speaker 1: her story because Becka's got a following, Molly May has
Speaker 1: a massive following, and it's obviously going to cause drama. Well,
Speaker 1: the post was actually taken down, so I wonder if
Speaker 1: that was because Becka was receiving a lot of trolling
Speaker 1: or definitely Tommy asked her to take it down. On
Speaker 1: a more positive note, I do want to talk about
Speaker 1: Molly May and how she has been raising awareness for endometriosis.
Speaker 1: So she's been pretty open on her story that she
Speaker 1: has been suffering from excruciating period pain where it's got
Speaker 1: to the point that she can't actually stand up or
Speaker 1: do any work. So she updated her followers this week
Speaker 1: on her vlog and said she's going in to get
Speaker 1: surgery to see if she does have endometriosis. What was
Speaker 1: quite alarming was she'd actually gone to a number of
Speaker 1: doctors who told her not to worry about it and
Speaker 1: that she was fine. Well, I think that's quite a
Speaker 1: common thing women go through, and I think it's been
Speaker 1: really brave for her to talk about it and raise
Speaker 1: awareness for it. And she did recently do the same
Speaker 1: when she was diagnosed with skin cancer. On a more
Speaker 1: local front, Adelaide influencer Sarah Jane Stevens, she is another
Speaker 1: person that has been brilliant at bringing awareness to endometriosis.
Speaker 1: So she documented her keyhole surgery that she had and
Speaker 1: she was found to actually have endometriosis, and she is
Speaker 1: always updating her followers about the daily struggles of living
Speaker 1: with ENDO. And I just think it's fantastic that we're
Speaker 1: beginning to talk about it. Well, the fact that women
Speaker 1: are now more openly speaking about their periods, because you
Speaker 1: know the fact that Mollie May has said in a
Speaker 1: YouTube video, I have excruciating periods, and people have sent
Speaker 1: in saying, hey, you may have this. Before we were
Speaker 1: too embarrassed to even mention that we had a period.
Speaker 1: And I think that when we had the naturopath on Maria,
Speaker 1: she was telling us that it's actually not normal to
Speaker 1: have a painful period, and I never knew it because
Speaker 1: normally you just assume, oh, it's just painful, and no
Speaker 1: one talks about, Yeah, I got, you didn't read it.
Speaker 1: Why we don't want to have a chat. Who's like,
Speaker 1: you've literally kats got, You've been nuts, You've not eaten
Speaker 1: of if I'm okay. Last week, Ruby, Tuesday Matthews made
Speaker 1: her engagement to partner Shannon DoD official, after teasing fans
Speaker 1: earlier in the month with the news so on Monday,
Speaker 1: Ruby shared a photo of her hand on Instagram featuring
Speaker 1: a ginormous ring, with a caption that said, no cute
Speaker 1: way of taking a photo with sausage fingers, but I'm
Speaker 1: officially off the market for good now. I felt like
Speaker 1: you could relate to this, Kate, because it is very
Speaker 1: hard to get a photo of your hand looking nice
Speaker 1: with your ring. I thought, I'm gonna say I have sausage.
Speaker 1: I was very offended. It was hard. Sophie and I
Speaker 1: had our own little photo shoot, funnily enough, in our
Speaker 1: uncle and Auntie's front yard of their house because we
Speaker 1: were there for Mother's Day. Because I wasn't happy with
Speaker 1: the photo I originally got because for those who don't know,
Speaker 1: my partner proposed to me at our housewarming in front
Speaker 1: of everyone, and I felt like a complete dickhead trying
Speaker 1: to get you know, the perfect shot all of us
Speaker 1: nighttime as well. I feel like you need a bit
Speaker 1: of natural lighting, do you know what? I feel like
Speaker 1: a lot of newly engaged women just have no shame, Like, hey,
Speaker 1: I feel like you were taking it too seriously. You
Speaker 1: just got to be like, I'm just gonna take this photo.
Speaker 1: I felt like a dickhead though. Well, getting back to
Speaker 1: Ruby's ring, this ring was incredible. It is a baget
Speaker 1: cut diamond. Seppa get cut diamond. Well, it's kind of
Speaker 1: it's kind of shaped like a baget, like a roll.
Speaker 1: It looked like a rectangle. Yeah, that's the fancy name
Speaker 1: for a set on a white gold band. It just
Speaker 1: means it's a huge ring, big rock.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well the Daily mailket referring to it as a sparklet.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well it was sparkly. It was a beautiful ring. Now,
Speaker 1: as I touched on earlier. Ruby really started rumors about
Speaker 1: two weeks ago when she uploaded a photo of her
Speaker 1: kissing her partner with the ring clearly in shot, so
Speaker 1: Monday was the first time when she actually officially confirmed
Speaker 1: she was engaged. See I saw the post and my
Speaker 1: initial response was, oh, that's nice that she's in a relationship,
Speaker 1: because it's the first time she's mentioned her partner, so
Speaker 1: I didn't even notice the ring. Well, the first time
Speaker 1: he appeared on her Instagram was in May, so it's
Speaker 1: not really yet known when they actually officially started dating.
Speaker 1: And for a bit of background on him, he's actually
Speaker 1: a DJ who is the ex boyfriend of pe Nation
Speaker 1: founder Pip Edwards. And it all gets a little bit
Speaker 1: awkward here because Pip Edwards is now actually dating Ruby
Speaker 1: Tuesday's ex Cameron Northway. That's as who and he's a
Speaker 1: Byron Bay restaurant owner. So there's been a lot of
Speaker 1: paparazzi photos of Pip out and about with Ruby's x.
Speaker 1: Maybe they should do a double date and just get
Speaker 1: it over and done with. Were they going to be
Speaker 1: in the Byron Bays Maybe No. Ruby Tuesday said she's
Speaker 1: not going to be on Barron Bays, which is disappointing.
Speaker 1: I did like the fact that Ruby seemed to take
Speaker 1: the piss out of herself a little bit with this
Speaker 1: engagement announcement as well, because she did share a photo
Speaker 1: of her hand with the ring in front of this
Speaker 1: huge plate of oysters. And this is of course paying
Speaker 1: homage to Oystergate last year, and this is where she
Speaker 1: famously held up a Jetstar flight to eat a plate
Speaker 1: of oysters while everyone was sitting waiting for her.
Speaker 2: I drew the duck blue because I've never seen a
Speaker 2: blue duck before, and to be honest with you, I
Speaker 2: wanted to see a blue duck.
Speaker 1: Well, it's an excellent blue duck. Congratulations, you just passed
Speaker 1: the first grade. Oh slippy, that's so great. What do
Speaker 1: you think of that, mister blue duck? Cat quash Dick.
Speaker 1: Laura Henshaw and Steph Claire Smith have certainly taken their
Speaker 1: friendship to the next level. So the Keeper Cleaner Founders
Speaker 1: revealed on their kickpod that Laura actually drank Steph's breast milk. Really.
Speaker 1: Why so, Laura and her partner Dalton and Stephan her
Speaker 1: husband Josh. They were out for a dinner. Now, this
Speaker 1: was the first dinner that Stephan Josh had been to
Speaker 1: since the birth of their son, Harvey, and Steph has
Speaker 1: been really promoting the fact that she keeps forgetting to
Speaker 1: nipple pads out and about with her. So she put
Speaker 1: up an Instagram story that her breast milk had been
Speaker 1: leaking all over her silk shirt at the restaurant anyway,
Speaker 1: So Steph had been drinking, so she was expressing milk
Speaker 1: and there was no point saving it for Harvey. So
Speaker 1: they decided they had got because she was drinking. You
Speaker 1: can't be drinking. Give that's sort of That's what I
Speaker 1: just said. So there was no point saving it for Harvey.
Speaker 1: So they were talking about it at the table and
Speaker 1: Josh decided to try some of the milk, and then
Speaker 1: Laura wanted to try some as well. So I just
Speaker 1: found this quite hilarious because did she say what it
Speaker 1: tasted like. Yeah, they said it kind of just tasted
Speaker 1: like watered down milk that was a little bit sweet.
Speaker 1: So it just tasted like almond milk basically. It reminds
Speaker 1: me of that episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians
Speaker 1: when Kim kept trying to steal Courtney's breast milk because
Speaker 1: it helped her with her crisis. Yeah. Well, apparently there's
Speaker 1: a lot of bodybuilders out there that are purchasing Wimmens milk.
Speaker 1: To its breast milk to drink. Oh my gosh, I
Speaker 1: remember that. When I was working at Today tonight, we
Speaker 1: were trying to get a story up on that because
Speaker 1: people were selling it online, like, yeah, there's a black
Speaker 1: marker for it. I don't mean to be vulgar, but
Speaker 1: I really think Steph kles Smith's breast milk would sell
Speaker 1: for a lot of money on the black mark. I
Speaker 1: was about to say to you, guys, you seem to
Speaker 1: love everything that Steph Klea Smith. Does you know you're
Speaker 1: sitting here and to keep it cleaner top. Would you
Speaker 1: drink the breast milk? No? I would not, but maybe
Speaker 1: there's going to be a new coal's product to add
Speaker 1: to the protein about it. Would you guys drink okay,
Speaker 1: because we're best friends as well as sisters, Would you
Speaker 1: drink one of our breast milk? No way, I even
Speaker 1: get a bit. I just can't drink just normal cow's milk.
Speaker 1: It makes me feel a bit SICKO. Would you drink
Speaker 1: your own? No, I wouldn't have a desire to try
Speaker 1: it at see. I do say that, but you know,
Speaker 1: when you flick through the old baby books, apparently I
Speaker 1: was breastfed quite a lot longer than than the two
Speaker 1: of you you've got to take. Yeah, well, I mean
Speaker 1: I don't want to shame Laura. I think it's each
Speaker 1: to their own. I think I think you'd be pretty
Speaker 1: curious to try it if everyone was trying. I mean,
Speaker 1: it seemed kind of like a Steph clar Smith cocktail,
Speaker 1: didn't it because it was a bit of alcohol in it.
Speaker 1: I got a question on Steph bleas yes, oh shin
Speaker 1: Nevang not blame me, Amma, than mark you giddy. Well,
Speaker 1: I think that's all we have time for. Thank you
