Speaker 1: Coming up on today's show, Sarah's Day says book Topia
Speaker 1: is holding her cookbooks hostage, why fans are convinced Anna
Speaker 1: Paul's family friend is actually her boyfriend, Tully Smythe's photoshop fail,
Speaker 1: and Shany Grimm returns to vlogging, But first. A clip
Speaker 1: of Rachel Dylan's sister singing at her wedding is dividing
Speaker 1: the Internet. At the time of recording, the clip has
Speaker 1: wrapped up over one million views and has had seven
Speaker 1: thousand send ons. Whilst many people have praised the special
Speaker 1: sister moment, other corners of the internet have mocked the
Speaker 1: bridesmaids singing ability. Let's throw to the clip.
Speaker 2: I would now like to sing a song dedicated to
Speaker 2: Rachel and Toby and their love story. Sister, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: crash fan me Forchue thattching see for all the joy,
Speaker 2: bring my land.
Speaker 3: For all the road that you may right, ho every
Speaker 3: dream you may come true, For all the line I
Speaker 3: found in you, I'll be for the things for baby.
Speaker 4: You are the world.
Speaker 1: Have me up and now let me fall.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: A lot of people in our Facebook community have been
Speaker 1: talking about this clip and it has been a highly
Speaker 1: requested topic for us to cover. Yeah, this thread got
Speaker 1: pretty heated. It actually got removed by the original poster
Speaker 1: because they were copying a lot of flak because people
Speaker 1: thought they were being somewhat judgmental and negative towards Emma's
Speaker 1: singing abilities. Yes, so before we get into our thoughts,
Speaker 1: I want to point out that Rachel is also an influencer.
Speaker 1: She has over four hundred thousand followers, and the sisters
Speaker 1: have been sharing content alongside each other, and I think
Speaker 1: that is why people feel comfortable to comment on her
Speaker 1: singing abilities. I think if this had just been a
Speaker 1: family member who didn't have a public profile, people felt
Speaker 1: differently about it. Yeah, and Emma is also not a
Speaker 1: professional singer. However, Rachel has said that one of her
Speaker 1: favorite memories from childhood is watching her sister singing at recitals.
Speaker 1: Following Rachel's post, there were a couple of people who
Speaker 1: accused Emma of trying to steal Rachel's spotlight. And I
Speaker 1: feel like we have as a society become obsessed with
Speaker 1: this concept that when someone has a wedding, there's people
Speaker 1: out there in their own family and their own friendship
Speaker 1: group who are out to get them. When it is
Speaker 1: just not the case that all. Generally, most people want
Speaker 1: their sister to have the best day possible, and Rachel
Speaker 1: asked her sister to perform at her wedding, so she
Speaker 1: obviously wasn't concerned about her stealing the spotlight. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: is a very important point because Rachel was quite surprised
Speaker 1: when Emma said yes, and she was so grateful and
Speaker 1: so happy because Emma is really putting herself out there.
Speaker 1: This is an enormous moment, not only in the life
Speaker 1: of her sister, but it's an enormous social media moment
Speaker 1: because there were so many eyeballs on this wedding. And
Speaker 1: as you can hear in the clip, Emma appears incredibly
Speaker 1: nervous and at the start of the song she almost
Speaker 1: breaks down in tears, and you can see she really
Speaker 1: has to pull herself together to actually get through the song,
Speaker 1: and at a few points her voice cracks in the song,
Speaker 1: which I actually think added a lot of emotion to it.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of when Kurt Till's surprised Sarah's Day
Speaker 1: with a performance at their wedding. So we got up
Speaker 1: on stage and he got into the first line and
Speaker 1: just broke down into tears, but I think it's all
Speaker 1: about the recovery. The fact that both Kurt and Emma
Speaker 1: were able to recover and then do the whole song
Speaker 1: in front of a large group of people is pretty commendable.
Speaker 1: But this is giving me flashbacks to perform my wedding.
Speaker 1: My husband Dale told me that he had been thinking
Speaker 1: of performing a song at our wedding, and it was
Speaker 1: at that moment I thought, do I even know you? Like,
Speaker 1: he's never once sung professionally or sung at any point
Speaker 1: other than in the car. Yeah, I have never personally
Speaker 1: heard him sing. I mean we've had many bonfires together,
Speaker 1: and it's not like he's the guy that will grabbed
Speaker 1: the guitar and start singing along. There is something a
Speaker 1: little bit cringe, I have to say when a friend
Speaker 1: or family member does go up to sing. And I
Speaker 1: think that's what people were projecting on this moment because
Speaker 1: you can kind of see in the crowd a few
Speaker 1: awkward faces, not because it was a bad performance, but
Speaker 1: it's kind of that moment where you're like, as an
Speaker 1: audience member, don't laugh or you kind of you almost
Speaker 1: feel anxious for the person that's put themselves out. I
Speaker 1: don't think that the videographer when they edited this clip
Speaker 1: was aware that they flashed to this crowd member who
Speaker 1: almost looked stunned or as if he was like, what
Speaker 1: the fuck is going on? Like I don't think he
Speaker 1: meant to have that expression, but that's how it came across.
Speaker 1: I also don't think that it helped that the microphone
Speaker 1: seemed to have this weird echoy effect on it, and
Speaker 1: because she was singing archipella, she was singing really loudly
Speaker 1: so that everyone could hear, but then her voice was
Speaker 1: too loud for the microphone, so it was blow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right. I think people were being critical not of
Speaker 1: her voice, but it was actually the audio that let
Speaker 1: her down, because she actually had a really nice voice.
Speaker 1: It has a very pleasant voice, and it would have
Speaker 1: taken a lot of courage to get up there. This
Speaker 1: song was also a Selene Dion song, not particularly easy
Speaker 1: to sing, no, and it was archapella. That's what really
Speaker 1: shocked me. With the amount of money that they probably
Speaker 1: poured into this wedding, could they get the poor girl
Speaker 1: a band because she looked so lonely standing there. I
Speaker 1: thought I was going to say, the awkwardness of it
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say, could they have
Speaker 1: at least afforded Selene Dion to perform? Well, No, I
Speaker 1: mean poor Selene Dion is having issues with their voice
Speaker 1: at the moment, so she wouldn't be able to hit
Speaker 1: these notes as well well. Toby wrote on social media
Speaker 1: that this was a beautiful moment for us all to
Speaker 1: experience for so many reasons. That even more impressive than
Speaker 1: your voice and love, Emma, is the courage you put
Speaker 1: forward to share this with us. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: Rachel added couldn't agree more. We are so lucky, and
Speaker 1: I just think, at the end of the day, if
Speaker 1: this couple was happy with it, what else matters.
Speaker 4: I don't take it too seriously because God only knows
Speaker 4: if I looked at their photos what they look like
Speaker 4: and in real lame.
Speaker 1: I also don't care like it is what it is.
Speaker 1: Popular Instagram account Celebt's Spellcheck has dusted off the cobwebs
Speaker 1: to critique and Ossie influences horrendous photoshop fail. Whilst the
Speaker 1: popular account occasionally posts about a list celebrities and nostalgic content,
Speaker 1: she hasn't directed her attention to Ozsie influences for over
Speaker 1: a year now now the influenza in her sight was
Speaker 1: former Big Brother contestant and OG influencer Tully Smythe and
Speaker 1: the photo was a mirror selfie. So in it, Tully
Speaker 1: was wearing a slinky black dress with cutouts yeah, and
Speaker 1: the lower half of her body looked completely warmed. It
Speaker 1: almost looked as though she was missing a leg, and
Speaker 1: the normally flat floor looked like it had this massive
Speaker 1: speed bump running through it. Now Celeb'spellcheck also shared a
Speaker 1: second photo of Tully in the same dress, which was
Speaker 1: posted to her in Instagram story, and this time it
Speaker 1: was a bathroom selfie which appeared to have a crooked
Speaker 1: door in it. So in the post, celebs Spelcheck asked
Speaker 1: her audience if they tell their friend to take down
Speaker 1: an obviously photoshopped post, It's safe to say that people
Speaker 1: are happy that celeb spellcheck is back, because the comment
Speaker 1: section was full, so one person joke that the floor
Speaker 1: looked like their local skate park, while another suggested that
Speaker 1: maybe Tully got her mirror from a clear out sale
Speaker 1: at Lunar Park. There were also other eagle eyed followers
Speaker 1: who were taking the opportunity to zoom in on the
Speaker 1: photo more and point out other possible photoshop mishaps. Celeb
Speaker 1: Spellcheck even got in on the action, saying in the
Speaker 1: comment section that she thought the post was satirical until
Speaker 1: she saw the warping in the story post. As well,
Speaker 1: there were some followers who were sympathetic towards Tully and
Speaker 1: commented on the broader issue of photo shopping and how
Speaker 1: sad it is for women in the public eye to
Speaker 1: feel this pressure to edit and manipulate their bodies. That
Speaker 1: was my initial response, Yeah, sorry for Tully. I was
Speaker 1: shocked to see that Sleb's spell check was back, and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, fabulous. But then for some reason,
Speaker 1: when I saw it was her photo of Tully, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I just felt sorry for her, because, as
Speaker 1: you said, I don't think it's coming from a place
Speaker 1: of like vanity or anything. I actually think it's coming
Speaker 1: from a place of her maybe not feeling so good
Speaker 1: about herself and the constant pressure to look good online. Well,
Speaker 1: it's also a constant pressure when you're in your mid thirties. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I think a lot of people assume that
Speaker 1: Tully is a lot younger than she is, but she's
Speaker 1: in her mid thirty, she's trying to live up to
Speaker 1: this expectation online she's a beautiful woman. And what was
Speaker 1: sad was because Tully saw the post and she wrote, whoops,
Speaker 1: my fingers slipped, and she had a bit of a
Speaker 1: joke about it, and then she actually ended up re
Speaker 1: sharing the photo minus the photoshopped part, and she looked
Speaker 1: so much better in the photo that wasn't photoshopped, Like,
Speaker 1: she looked amazing at it. Yeah. She explained this as
Speaker 1: being down to a thumb slip, and some followers were
Speaker 1: infuriated by Tully's explanation, saying it wasn't merely a thumb slip,
Speaker 1: it was a conscious effort to manipulate her photo to
Speaker 1: make herself look tiny on an editing app. I agree.
Speaker 1: I don't think it was an accident, but I think
Speaker 1: it was one of those moments you know sometimes where
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I might just turn up the saturation
Speaker 1: a bit in this photo. I mean, being a photographer,
Speaker 1: I'd play around with lightroom a lot, and then sometimes
Speaker 1: you've just gone way too far that you look at
Speaker 1: the original photo and you're like, what the fuck? This
Speaker 1: looks completely absurd. Maybe it's one of those moments. Well,
Speaker 1: maybe she had a couple of images that she had
Speaker 1: edited and she accidentally selected the draft copy or something.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It was a very odd photo like it. As soon
Speaker 1: as I saw it, I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: what has happened here? Other people were forgiving and responded
Speaker 1: to Tully saying, it happens to the best of us.
Speaker 1: Who cares? You looked amazing either way, and to her credit,
Speaker 1: Amy as you said, she uploaded the non edited version
Speaker 1: of her photo onto her feed and wrote forget the
Speaker 1: little black dress, It's all about the long black dress,
Speaker 1: and she poked fun at herself writing take two. I
Speaker 1: noticed she tagged fashion brand per Mao in the post,
Speaker 1: and she previously listed this dress on her LTK account,
Speaker 1: which is an online platform where influencers get a commission
Speaker 1: if people use their link to purchase the item. I
Speaker 1: think that that's probably why she reposted it, because if
Speaker 1: it was me, I would have cut my losses and
Speaker 1: just wiped this photo from existence online because it'd be
Speaker 1: really awkward to have people have the two photos to compare. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the first thing I did. I screenshop both of
Speaker 1: them to see what was going on. Look The sad
Speaker 1: reality is that the majority of influencers are using apps
Speaker 1: to photoshop their images, but some are just doing it
Speaker 1: better than others.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 1: I would also say a lot of everyday people are
Speaker 1: also photoshopping their images, not just influencers and celebrities, because
Speaker 1: there is such a competition to keep up and put
Speaker 1: the best version of yourself forward. The awkward thing is
Speaker 1: when someone does it and they're not in an influencer
Speaker 1: and they clearly don't know how to use photoshop. Like
Speaker 1: I've seen so many photos pop up of Yeah, people
Speaker 1: who have like fifty followers and they've softened the shit
Speaker 1: out of their face. It's like they've learned how to
Speaker 1: do it. I feel like they boom a thing yep,
Speaker 1: and they just look like an alien.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think in this instance, Tully decided to repost the
Speaker 1: unedited version of her photo because she wanted to play
Speaker 1: off that this was a genuine mistake and that she
Speaker 1: had nothing to hide. However, it led to more people
Speaker 1: scrutinizing the photo and accusing her of editing other things.
Speaker 1: So you really can't win in this situation, can you.
Speaker 1: At Least she acknowledged it. She could have just not
Speaker 1: even commented on celeb Spellcheck's post, she could have pretended
Speaker 1: it didn't happen. So there's a lot of worried influencers though,
Speaker 1: now that celeb spellcheck has come back with a bang.
Speaker 7: I hate drama and I was really hoping I wouldn't
Speaker 7: have to make this video, but it's come to the
Speaker 7: point that I have to address it.
Speaker 1: Anger is mounting against fallen online retailer book Toopia, who
Speaker 1: recently fell into voluntary administration. Finnish influencers Sarah's Day, who
Speaker 1: you Here's the online store as a distributor says her
Speaker 1: cookbooks are now being held hostage as a lengthy administration
Speaker 1: process plays out. So if this is an absolute nightmare
Speaker 1: for authors, yeah, and authors are right in the middle
Speaker 1: of this gigantic mess at the moment. So when book
Speaker 1: Topia went into voluntary administration at the start of July,
Speaker 1: its suspended all trading, leaving one hundred and fifty thousand
Speaker 1: unfulfilled orders that works out to around twelve million dollars
Speaker 1: worth of books. Now, customers and authors have been left
Speaker 1: in limbo because the administrators confirmed that orders will not
Speaker 1: be filled and refunds won't be granted until the administrative
Speaker 1: process plays out, so many of those orders are actually
Speaker 1: gift cards or pre ordered books which haven't even arrived
Speaker 1: at book Topia's warehouse. And it looks like this is
Speaker 1: going to be a rather lengthy process because administrators are
Speaker 1: looking to either restructure the business or sell it because
Speaker 1: they are attempting to claw back sixty million dollar debt.
Speaker 1: This whole thing really surprises me, especially with the popularity
Speaker 1: of book talk.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, book Topia was doing really well in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: during the pandemic. They recorded their highest profits and they
Speaker 1: put those profits into expanding and modernizing their warehouse. But
Speaker 1: they are now blaming the increased cost of living, the
Speaker 1: greater competition, and also a volatile market brought on by
Speaker 1: this post COVID downturn as the reason that they have
Speaker 1: done so poorly in the past year. And there is
Speaker 1: currently a lot of customer confusion over what's going on,
Speaker 1: and it's led a lot of customers to lash out
Speaker 1: at the authors online and they've asked for an explanation
Speaker 1: and they've demanded refunds. So Finness influencer Sarah's Day is
Speaker 1: one of many authors who's found herself in the middle
Speaker 1: of the chaos so she released her cookbook Sunny Side Up,
Speaker 1: almost a year ago, and while the book is self published,
Speaker 1: Sarah struck up a deal with book Topia to distribute
Speaker 1: the book to Australian customers. So, she said she felt
Speaker 1: confident in the online retailer as they said they were
Speaker 1: the biggest distributor of cookbooks in Australia and had the
Speaker 1: best setup. Now, as news broke the book Topia had
Speaker 1: collapsed and they were going into administration. She began to
Speaker 1: be inundated by followers asking why her cookbook was no
Speaker 1: longer available in Australia and why their orders hadn't come through.
Speaker 1: Here's what she said.
Speaker 7: If you've been trying to buy my healthy cookbook Stunny
Speaker 7: Side Up, you may have been struggling with that. At
Speaker 7: the same time as you, guys, I found out that
Speaker 7: book Topia, who distributed my cookbook, went into administration. I
Speaker 7: am the author, creator of my cookbook Sunday Side Up,
Speaker 7: and I did this all in house. I self published.
Speaker 7: Once I had created the books, I got them made,
Speaker 7: I got them printed all through my own money. This
Speaker 7: was like a self project.
Speaker 1: Sarah pointed out that this situation wouldn't impact her international
Speaker 1: customers as she has a warehouse in the US and
Speaker 1: UK which is separate to book Topia. She also apologized
Speaker 1: to customers, which is quite rare. She doesn't usually say
Speaker 1: the words I'm sorry, and she said that in the meantime,
Speaker 1: she's trying to work her sezy magic dust on the situation,
Speaker 1: promising things will be sorted in the next few weeks. Well,
Speaker 1: you have to feel sorry for her because this really
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with Sarah's day. This is a
Speaker 1: book Topia issue, and it's a bad one because all
Speaker 1: of these authors are suddenly being attacked by followers and
Speaker 1: it's really one that's out of their hands. Well, I
Speaker 1: think there has been confusion because customers are thinking that
Speaker 1: the authors are keeping hold of their money, when in
Speaker 1: reality a lot of the authors have complained that they
Speaker 1: have been sending invoices to book Topia which haven't been paid.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: Despite outlining in her video that her cookbooks are still
Speaker 1: available for Australian and New Zealand customers in a limited capacity,
Speaker 1: she then changed her tune in the comment section, so
Speaker 1: she pinned a comment which read AU slash and Z
Speaker 1: customers out of stock. More stock coming very very soon.
Speaker 1: I will announce asap. Aka sunny side up is a
Speaker 1: hostage in this situation if I don't laugh dot dot dot.
Speaker 1: She also replied to a follower saying, book Topia went
Speaker 1: into administration, so my cookbooks are stuck in their warehouse
Speaker 1: until the administration team releases them. Even though I own
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of books gosh, I would have loved
Speaker 1: to have been a fly on the wall when Sarah's
Speaker 1: Day found that out and blasted her content Utopia. I
Speaker 1: would also be avoiding words like hostages, though, particularly in
Speaker 1: the current climate that we're in, it just seems a
Speaker 1: tad inappropriate. It sounds like Sarah has been kept in
Speaker 1: the dark for quite some time by book Topia. That
Speaker 1: being said, though people in the publishing well told journalists
Speaker 1: that it was industry knowledge for at least a year
Speaker 1: the book Topia had been struggling. They also made one
Speaker 1: hundred staff redundant this year, so the writing has been
Speaker 1: on the wall. Yeah, and that's not a lot of
Speaker 1: people to question. Why were so many pre orders still
Speaker 1: being taken by book Topia when it was in such
Speaker 1: a dire situation. Now Sarah is adamant that she's getting
Speaker 1: new stock in a few weeks time. It will be
Speaker 1: interesting to see who she selects to distribute it, or
Speaker 1: whether she decides that she and her team will do
Speaker 1: that themselves. The administrators are hopeful of finding a new
Speaker 1: buyer for book Topia so it can continue its operations.
Speaker 1: So far, eighty parties have expressed their interest in buying
Speaker 1: book Topia, with Dimmicks and Coogan at the top of
Speaker 1: their list, so I don't think they will struggle to
Speaker 1: find a buyer. It is just a matter of when
Speaker 1: and how much time that process takes. The whole gang
Speaker 1: is in Rome right now, but only for breakfast. We're
Speaker 1: in Italy for literally only breakfast. Speculation is rife that
Speaker 1: Anna Paul has a new boyfriend. A so called family
Speaker 1: friend has been popping up in the TikTokers daily vlogs
Speaker 1: for months now, with followers convinced there's more to the story.
Speaker 1: So surely this guy is more than a friend. He
Speaker 1: has to be. He has even landed himself a spot
Speaker 1: on Anna Paul's Instagram feed. The guy in question is
Speaker 1: amarek Urbane, and he has been traveling the world with
Speaker 1: the Paul family for quite a number of months now.
Speaker 1: So last week Anna shared a video of her and
Speaker 1: Amrik jumping off a cliff and into bright blue water
Speaker 1: in Spain. She captured the post it feels like summer now.
Speaker 1: Many fans took this as a soft launch, so one
Speaker 1: follower wrote, if this isn't a sign, I don't know
Speaker 1: what is now. Despite all of this, Anna hasn't confirmed
Speaker 1: the relationship, and in June she told me to publications
Speaker 1: she's single. So when Amrik first started appearing in Anna's
Speaker 1: videos in August last year, it caused a massive stir
Speaker 1: because people were speculating that he was either Anna or
Speaker 1: Attis's boyfriend. I want to point out that Addis's only
Speaker 1: ever publicly dated women, and there was this really uncomfortable
Speaker 1: speculation about his sexuality in August last year, so I
Speaker 1: think that that was also adding to the speculation around
Speaker 1: who is this family friend? And Anna did address this
Speaker 1: speculation on a TikTok flog. She said, apparently this is
Speaker 1: my new boyfriend, but apparently it's Adams's secret boyfriend all along.
Speaker 1: Like fuck sake, listen the shit that I have read
Speaker 1: just because we posted somebody we didn't fully introduce. I'm
Speaker 1: very sorry. Let me introduce him. His name is Amerik.
Speaker 1: He is a family friend. Addis is not gay. I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry to disappoint. Our family friend is not gay.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry to disappoint. And yeah, that's all there
Speaker 1: is to it. Can you imagine if this guy is
Speaker 1: Anna's boyfriend and everyone was thinking that he's ads is?
Speaker 1: It were so weird. The reason there has been added
Speaker 1: interest in Amerik popping up in August last year is
Speaker 1: because that is the month that Anna and Glenn broke up,
Speaker 1: so a lot of people were like, who the fuck
Speaker 1: is this new guy that's on the scene. I highly
Speaker 1: doubt that Glenn would have appeared in a lot of
Speaker 1: Anna's subsequent videos and they would have such a good
Speaker 1: relationship if Anna had done the dirty with this guy. Well,
Speaker 1: because Anna has remained pretty much silent on this relationship,
Speaker 1: it has led to her very young fans creating their
Speaker 1: own narrative. So one follower wrote, all while Glenn's watching
Speaker 1: her cats like a slave, and she's here with the
Speaker 1: reason they broke up, whilst another said I think people
Speaker 1: care because we knew so much about her relationship with Glenn,
Speaker 1: and the timing here was like, she hooked up with
Speaker 1: the new guy while she was still with Glenn, and
Speaker 1: shit happens. That's life, But why lie about it to
Speaker 1: protect the nice Gale image. It's just odd. We've spoken
Speaker 1: about it before, but there is this phenomenon where fans
Speaker 1: start to create storylines about different influencers when that influencer
Speaker 1: shuts them out of parts of their life, and this
Speaker 1: is clearly what has happened with Anna Paul.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, over the weekend, Americ made another appearance on her
Speaker 1: feed and it was a video of him talking to
Speaker 1: Anna's mum, and it was the first time that followers
Speaker 1: had actually heard his voice before. And even with that
Speaker 1: small snippet of information, they are now building, well building
Speaker 1: the old narrative back up that they think that he's gay.
Speaker 1: So her comment section was inundated with people doing the
Speaker 1: now polish emoji, which and it was I found it
Speaker 1: all really gross because she's come up previously and said, look,
Speaker 1: Amor is not gay. Yeah, it's very clear that they're
Speaker 1: inner relationship, but she probably doesn't feel comfortable yet to
Speaker 1: speak about it because she doesn't want all these prying
Speaker 1: eyes and also the pressure of people's expectations on them.
Speaker 1: It just reminds me of when One Direction were incredibly
Speaker 1: popular and everyone was running those fan fixating that Louis
Speaker 1: and Harry were in a relationship together. In this case,
Speaker 1: as you said, it seems pretty gross that Anna has
Speaker 1: literally come out and said both of these men aren't gay, Like,
Speaker 1: can we just stop speculating about it?
Speaker 6: So today I'm going to do something fun with my hair.
Speaker 1: Britt Hockley has unveiled a new hair transformation a year
Speaker 1: out from her wedding. The Life on Cut podcaster told
Speaker 1: her followers she went in for highlights, but the strawberry
Speaker 1: blonde gods had other plans. We literally haven't even started
Speaker 1: yet and I've just done a one eighty.
Speaker 6: I know we're going natural and we're gonna do belliage.
Speaker 6: We're gonna do very like, really lush, beautiful cute.
Speaker 9: But I'm having a crisis.
Speaker 1: I've changed my mind.
Speaker 4: I've flipped.
Speaker 6: I've done a one eighty how I wanted to, and
Speaker 6: unless I have.
Speaker 1: Someone that's gonna throw then I'm never going to do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, found it.
Speaker 8: Found it.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a good idea to do
Speaker 1: anything dramatic with your hair on a whim. I know
Speaker 1: some hairdressers who if you come in and say, oh,
Speaker 1: I want a fringe or I want layers. They will
Speaker 1: actually say no, you have to think about it. We
Speaker 1: might do something slight today. We're not doing anything dramatic.
Speaker 1: But the reality with Britz, she looks good with blonde hair,
Speaker 1: she looks good with dark hair, she looks good with
Speaker 1: strawberry blonde hair. She's got the face that she can
Speaker 1: pull off any hair transformation. It felt a bit pervy
Speaker 1: because she shared a screenshot of her revealing her new
Speaker 1: hair to her fiance and he was saying, oh, it's different,
Speaker 1: which you never want to hear, putting out that he
Speaker 1: has different. But he did say she looked very modeless.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: To be fair, he wrote you look hot baby, and
Speaker 1: she wrote yeah, you like it and he wrote, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's different, But I don't know. It's boys need to
Speaker 1: be trained on how to react to a hairstyle. Like
Speaker 1: they either don't notice it or they don't say the
Speaker 1: right thing. I think that they're just black and white though,
Speaker 1: because it did different, you know what I mean? I
Speaker 1: did well. BRIT's hair transformation was part of her campaign
Speaker 1: with hair dye brand Godwell and hairstylist Kirby Lago, and
Speaker 1: the campaign was entitled Blonde Your Way, but a few
Speaker 1: of BRIT's followers were quick to point out that BRIT's
Speaker 1: new hair was more ginger than strawberry blonde, so her
Speaker 1: Kiss co host Mitch Chury even like, in turn, you
Speaker 1: look to Fiona from Shrek. Wow, I don't think that
Speaker 1: that's what the hairdresser was going for. That's a bit offensive. Well,
Speaker 1: the campaign was referenced as blonde your Way, so Britt
Speaker 1: argued it was blonde her way, she wanted strawberry blonde. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like that's stretching it a little bit. I'm
Speaker 1: surprised that she would make such a dramatic hair transformation
Speaker 1: when we've heard that her wedding will probably be in
Speaker 1: the next year, just because when you add a lot
Speaker 1: of different colors and dyes to your hair, it can
Speaker 1: damage your hair quite a lot. Yeah, well, that's why
Speaker 1: I think she didn't want to go full blonde, Like
Speaker 1: I actually think this is the safest color for her
Speaker 1: to get. I have no doubt that she will dye
Speaker 1: her hair back to the original color before then. But
Speaker 1: it has really been a successful collaboration because at the
Speaker 1: time of recording, The Real has had four hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy thousand views and BRIT's hair transformation has been picked
Speaker 1: up by The Daily Mail, Who, New Idea and Yahoo,
Speaker 1: so I think that brand will be celebrating good morning,
Speaker 1: let's do a little day in my life. I am
Speaker 1: feeling really nostalgic because Shiny Grimmond has finally made a
Speaker 1: return to blogging, and whilst it's not YouTube like we
Speaker 1: were all hoping for, she is sharing daily vlogs about
Speaker 1: her life on TikTok. Yeah, and she's even invested in
Speaker 1: a new tripod and light to make the content a
Speaker 1: bit more high quality. And after consuming all of these vlogs,
Speaker 1: I think we are seeing glimpses of the twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: Shhny because she's included a scene of Jacob fake tanning
Speaker 1: her back. We've seen a dinner date with Michael Finch,
Speaker 1: She's been sharing about her anxiety, and we even got
Speaker 1: an update on how she deals with consultation.
Speaker 6: I feeling a bit sick, pret bit crooked, if you
Speaker 6: know what I mean. So I'm gonna have some quenda.
Speaker 6: This is what I have when I'm constipated. Why am
Speaker 6: I telling you this? But seriously, if we struggle with that,
Speaker 6: quenda is the go to makes you get the wild
Speaker 6: berry flavor.
Speaker 1: And this is why everyone loves Shanny grummand because she
Speaker 1: is such an oversharer and it feels like she's this
Speaker 1: friend that is telling you about her bout of constipation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and her comment section was full of old fans who
Speaker 1: were so excited to see that she'd made a return.
Speaker 1: One wrote, Shanny, I love you. I was obsessed with
Speaker 1: your YouTube channel in twenty sixteen, whilst another said I've
Speaker 1: been watching you since twenty sixteen and just found your TikTok.
Speaker 1: So happy to be reunited with you, and Shanni replied,
Speaker 1: welcome back, Queen. She was also very overwhelmed by the support.
Speaker 1: Here's what she said in one of her vlogs.
Speaker 5: In six point thirty I literally just woke up and
Speaker 5: checked my comments and I actually could help. Okay, I
Speaker 5: could actually cry it all the support on my last videos.
Speaker 5: So thank you. I'm so lucky to have you all. Okay,
Speaker 5: let's get up.
Speaker 1: I do in fact drive. I saw a few people
Speaker 1: referenced our deep dive series that we did on Shiny
Speaker 1: Grimmin and if that has actually inspired chini to get
Speaker 1: back on TikTok, I'm really pleased.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: As Oh, I don't know judge one for their body
Speaker 8: count unless it's absolutely outrageous.
Speaker 1: UK influencer Saffron Baker has taken a cheeky swipe at
Speaker 1: her ex boyfriend Lewis reesamb But, who was recruited to
Speaker 1: the Chiefs earlier this year. So during a recent episode
Speaker 1: of Saffron's podcast Sex Lies and dm Slides, which he
Speaker 1: co hosts with fellow influencer Anastasia kings North, the pair
Speaker 1: were answering a listener's dilemma when the topic of body
Speaker 1: counts came up and whether they madded. Here's what Saffron said.
Speaker 8: I was very much that you don't judge someone by
Speaker 8: their body count, but I think I should have fucking
Speaker 8: judged someone by their BodyCount to be fair. But this
Speaker 8: person I'm talking about genuinely no one could ever ever
Speaker 8: ever get a number so high.
Speaker 9: So it is like, it is like, how have you
Speaker 9: actually how.
Speaker 8: Tight he genuinely is The number is out of this world.
Speaker 8: And I'm talking It's funny because people are probably guessing
Speaker 8: the number of this person that I know is body count,
Speaker 8: but you're wrong, and you wouldn't even be close if
Speaker 8: you tried.
Speaker 9: Like you're wrong.
Speaker 8: I've never like I remember I knew this guy who
Speaker 8: had slept with he'd slept with one hundred people by
Speaker 8: the time he was eighteen, and I thought that was high.
Speaker 8: Well that was very high, but it's worse, so whatever
Speaker 8: you can imagine, it's worse. But anyways, I didn't judge
Speaker 8: them for that, But now looking at like their actions,
Speaker 8: I'm thinking I should have judged them for it. But
Speaker 8: I don't think that's very common. I don't think that
Speaker 8: many people were. Yeah, as oh, I don't know, judge
Speaker 8: one for their body count unless it's absolutely outrageous.
Speaker 9: Yeah, if it's outrageous and you're like taken aback by
Speaker 9: the number, so fair enough. Yeah, But like I, yeah,
Speaker 9: I don't thin you can judge anybody by the body
Speaker 9: count because if someone just me by mine, I would
Speaker 9: be quite hurt by it, because, like you, I've only
Speaker 9: had one relationship, but I've slept with more people than that.
Speaker 9: But that doesn't make me a slut. That doesn't make
Speaker 9: me a slag. That just means I'm a woman who's
Speaker 9: enjoyed having sex.
Speaker 1: I love how she's like this guy that I know,
Speaker 1: and everyone knows exactly who she's talking about. It's her
Speaker 1: ex boyfriend's body count. It doesn't surprise me that it's high,
Speaker 1: but it does sound like it is astronomically high for
Speaker 1: someone a few age because he is only what like
Speaker 1: twenty one twenty two. You could tell that Saffron and
Speaker 1: Anastasia were trying to be really sensitive because the initial
Speaker 1: question they got from the listener was that she had
Speaker 1: been shamed by her boyfriend, and Anastasia was very much saying,
Speaker 1: you know, girls shouldn't be called sluts and there shouldn't
Speaker 1: be double standards. But Saffron couldn't help it, could she
Speaker 1: but mention the ex as now it was verging on
Speaker 1: coming across as hypocritical, because it's almost that reverse sexism.
Speaker 1: Loveland recently aired a similar debate. So there's a contestant
Speaker 1: in there called Kieran who's twenty one. He's paired up
Speaker 1: with Nicole, who's twenty three, and she's like this ultra obsessive. Well,
Speaker 1: she's been portrayed as being ultra obsessive and goes nuts
Speaker 1: whenever he talks to another girl. And he revealed that
Speaker 1: he'd slept with one hundred and twenty women, and she
Speaker 1: went ape shit about it because she's like, well, if
Speaker 1: you started having sex when you were, say, eighteen, that
Speaker 1: means that you've really fit in one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: people in three years. She was crunching the sums he'd
Speaker 1: had a relationship before. And I think that that's what
Speaker 1: Saffron and Anastasia were trying to articulate. They were trying
Speaker 1: to say that it's not perhaps the best sign when
Speaker 1: you're looking to be in a relationship with someone if Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Saffron's boyfriend went on to cheat on her. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's what you were saying to too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, my front garden is mud slosh, kaput.
Speaker 1: Sophie Kasha has had the day from hell. The pajama
Speaker 1: mogul was forced to leave a painting sip night early
Speaker 1: with her Kasha employees to get home to her son Bobby,
Speaker 1: who was profusely vomiting.
Speaker 4: When I got home and vomited in the toilet and
Speaker 4: vomited all on my bedroom floor, which I didn't know,
Speaker 4: and I run in the house and I slid in it,
Speaker 4: slipped in the vomit on the floor, mushed it even
Speaker 4: more into my.
Speaker 1: Carpet, and I was giggling, like I'm not going to
Speaker 1: be mad. My son's sick. This detail made me feel
Speaker 1: sick to my core. So she said that she came
Speaker 1: back to clean the vomit, but her three dogs had eaten.
Speaker 1: That is disgusting. I feel like people are going to
Speaker 1: be turning this podcast off in their masses from hearing that.
Speaker 1: She was quite pleased. She said it was a bit
Speaker 1: of a pro for her because she then didn't have
Speaker 1: to clean it up entirely. Actually, it makes it feel sick.
Speaker 1: I feel like we're gonna have to put a disclaimer
Speaker 1: at the start of the podcast to fast forward this section.
Speaker 1: Talking about vomit is slightly better than talking about poop,
Speaker 1: I disagree. Now, Sophie ended up bundling Bobby into her
Speaker 1: car with a blanket and took him to the doctors,
Speaker 1: and he was diagnosed with influence and put on nausea
Speaker 1: medication to stop the vomiting. Now, her daughter, Flossi, was
Speaker 1: distraught because she really wanted to go to a weekly
Speaker 1: drama class, and Sophie begrudgingly took her because Bobby said
Speaker 1: it was fine. So after the doctor's appointment, Sophie and
Speaker 1: Bobby sat in the car for forty five minutes outside
Speaker 1: the class. Things didn't go to plan though.
Speaker 4: Of course, about halfway through Floss's drama session, like I said,
Speaker 4: we're parked out the front, Bobby's lying back, he's dead asleep.
Speaker 4: I'm like, there's probably no difference to him being at home.
Speaker 4: Sits up and he yells out where's the ball? And
Speaker 4: scared the shit out of me, And I was like,
Speaker 4: what what ball? I thought it was dreaming, but.
Speaker 1: He'd said where's the bowl?
Speaker 4: The sick bowl because he went, you know, like the
Speaker 4: Exorcist scene on Scary movie when it just goes just
Speaker 4: sprayed vomits all over my car, all over the queensides.
Speaker 1: Do no, maybe I'm still true from COVID, But to me,
Speaker 1: I don't understand why you would let your daughter go
Speaker 1: to a drama class when she has been around a
Speaker 1: highly infectious person with the flu. But it happens everywhere.
Speaker 1: The schools are full of kids that like they're like,
Speaker 1: oh my mom and dad has COVID and I'm at school.
Speaker 1: I just I just have we forgotten what we learned?
Speaker 1: It would have been germ central at this house, particularly
Speaker 1: when there's dogs walking around eating vomit like in the
Speaker 1: clips Sophie Keisha had her dog sitting right on her,
Speaker 1: almost kissing the dog's lips. I've just eaten the vomit.
Speaker 1: That is disgusting. I also wonder if her son Bobby
Speaker 1: was happy with this information being shared about him to
Speaker 1: her followers, particularly because in this same set of Instagram stories,
Speaker 1: she said, Oh, he's just in the shower at the moment,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't allow me in there anymore, because you know,
Speaker 1: he's setting some boundaries. It's like, well, he's ten, Well,
Speaker 1: clearly he probably doesn't want his vomiting incident talked about
Speaker 1: two hundreds of thousands of people online. Well, he's at
Speaker 1: an age where kids are aware of social media and
Speaker 1: a lot of the moms would be aware of who
Speaker 1: Sophie came. Yeah, definitely now. Her day also got off
Speaker 1: to a really bad start because she woke up to
Speaker 1: discover that tradees and plumbers were digging up her front
Speaker 1: nature strip. And this was because she had a water
Speaker 1: leak on her property and for months she had been
Speaker 1: complaining about paying really high water bills. So her water
Speaker 1: bills were thousands of dollars, and she thought it was
Speaker 1: because she had a new poll and she'd been running
Speaker 1: water into the pool over summer. However, it was because
Speaker 1: she had this huge leak out the front of her house.
Speaker 4: There was a leak roadside and my side flooding everywhere everything,
Speaker 4: hence my water bill. So not only have I paid
Speaker 4: thousands of dollars for something that has not been my fault.
Speaker 4: Was absolutely unaware of any leaks, my side, roadside, all
Speaker 4: of the above everything, and my front garden is mud
Speaker 4: slosh caput a child's.
Speaker 1: I wonder if she gets a refund for that. Well,
Speaker 1: the issue is the plumbers still haven't been able to
Speaker 1: stop this leak, so her front yard is also flooded
Speaker 1: at the moment. It sounds like an absolute nightmare. That
Speaker 1: is all we have time for. But before we go
Speaker 1: on Thursday, we're going to be recording a subs episode
Speaker 1: about Hen's parties because we've been inspired by Nicki Westcott's
Speaker 1: upcoming Hen's Party, which she's having in Mikinos. It has
Speaker 1: appropriately been named Nikanos, so she is having a very
Speaker 1: lavish five day event. It sounds insane. We will be
Speaker 1: going into those details on the podcast, but we want
Speaker 1: to know your Hen's party stories. What are the dos
Speaker 1: and don'ts? Do you have you had any funny incidents

Speaker 1: question box on our Instagram story as well because we
Speaker 1: want to answer some of your questions like who is
