Hello, and welcome 4 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: to Outspoken. It's your Dosa, the hottest influencer and pop 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: culture news twice a week. I'm Kate Torba, and so 6 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: if it's just you and me today, that's right. But 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: we all know that you've got a new name. But 8 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: you also received another new name today, and that's asshole. 9 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 10 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: So I think I explained in the last podcast for 11 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: those who didn't listen to the wedding podcast, I have 12 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: decided to keep Kate Torba as my professional podcast name, 13 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: but in my family life I will go by Kate Turner. 14 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: So I had to make the change on Facebook today 15 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: and I felt like a little bit of a trader 16 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: to my family. I know, I got a message from 17 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 1: you with a crying face on it. Kay, you gotta 18 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: explain this asshole thing though. Oh yes, So I was 19 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: called an asshole today via a note on my car. 20 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: So we went out for brunch because I have got 21 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: the week off, and I went back to my car 22 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: and there was a little note on it, and I 23 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: was scared it was going to be a parking fine, 24 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: but unfortunately it was something much funnier. So the note 25 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: was incursive, so I believe an older person wrote it, 26 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: and it wrote, thanks asshole for moving bin onto the footpath. 27 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: How do you think the garbage collection can get to it? 28 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: I have your number, Prick. 29 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: I need to paint the scene though. So we went 30 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: to this beautiful cafe on Greenhill Road, and it is 31 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: hard to park. They don't actually have a designated car park. 32 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: So we turned down this backstreet, which is in only 33 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: a beautiful area. It's quite early, with a lot of snobs, 34 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: it's got old people. Yeah, it's a very affluent area. 35 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: And so I was looking for a park and as 36 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: bin day, as this note has pointed out, there were 37 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: blue bins all over the road and I found a 38 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: park in front of a house. I then walk across 39 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: the road. I see Kate is also struggling to find 40 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: a park. So I moved the bin off the road 41 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: onto the verge, onto the grass verge, and I didn't 42 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: feel like there was any garbage yet, well, particularly because 43 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: I said brunch. But we were there at like twelve 44 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: thirty one, o'clock. It really was a lunch date, and 45 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, cool, you know the garbage has 46 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: already been collected. I mean, to be fair, the bin 47 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: shouldn't have been strewn on the road taking up car 48 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: parking spots. The absolute kicker of this was I was 49 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 1: worried going back to my car because I wasn't sure 50 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: if we'd been there for longer than two hours. And 51 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: I see this bright red note attached to the windscreen. 52 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, for fuck's sake, I look at it 53 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,119 Speaker 1: and apparently I'm in a no permit zone. And then 54 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: I clicked we permit zone. 55 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 2: Well, permit zone. Sorry, you had no permit in a 56 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: parent zone. 57 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: But to be fair, I couldn't see because it was 58 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: bins fucking scattered everywhere. 59 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: It was chaos, and it was out in the front 60 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 2: of someone's house. 61 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: Anyway, that's generally where a permit zone is. It's a 62 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: suburban I think for people listening in Melbourne and Sydney, 63 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: they'd be like, oh, permit zone's in front of residential 64 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: areas are normal, but not in an adult not in 65 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: Adelaide anyway. But I have pieced it together because at 66 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: the end of the note, it said, I have your number, 67 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: so I reckon they rang the council to complain about you. 68 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: They've sent someone down realize that you're legally parked, and 69 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: then saw my car and thought, oh god, you so 70 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: thanks Karen or missed a Karen. 71 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: I feel like this had a male tone to it. 72 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: Can imagine a woman calling someone an asshole and a 73 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: prick for just parking their car in a legal spot. 74 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but the people have nothing better to do 75 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: these days. And the worst thing was with my my fine. 76 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: Seventy two dollars. 77 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: Again, I think that's an Adelaide thing because we're used 78 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: to paying like forty five dollars. I know when I 79 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: lived in Melbourne, I was shocked when I got a 80 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: fine because it was around the seventy two dollars. 81 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: Mancusting, do you know? 82 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: I also think with these people leaving notes on cars, 83 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: what if that person driving the car something terrible had 84 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: happened in their life and they receive a note calling 85 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: them an asshole and a prick. 86 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: I get real. 87 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: I think it was clearly in a retiree that had 88 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: nothing better to do with their time. 89 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 3: You know, I was writing the breakup chapter in a breakup, 90 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 3: so that was not expected that that was not the plan. 91 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 2: The plan was supposed to be. I think through breakups 92 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 2: in the past, but look at me now, and now 93 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, look at me now, you know. 94 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: Britt Hockley has hard launched a new relationship with another 95 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: international athlete, proving she'd definitely has a type. To refresh 96 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: your memories, Brick dated Australian tennis player Jordan Thompson, but 97 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: the pair split in late twenty twenty one. She also 98 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: came second in the Honey Badger's series of The Bachelor, 99 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: and he was, of course a famous rugby player. Before 100 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: we get into the news, Kate, would you say that 101 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: you have a type? 102 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:16,679 Speaker 2: Look? 103 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: I used to be into the bad boy, which is 104 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: a bit embarrassing to say. I always used to pick 105 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: people that I thought I could change or it was 106 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: quite clear that they weren't interested in me and I 107 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: had to work for their love. Fortunately, I overcame that 108 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: when I found my penguin. It cracked me up because 109 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: in my wedding speech Mum did refer to Reese as 110 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: my penguin. Because Reese is not a bad boy, I 111 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: would say, I mean maybe in his past relationship is 112 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: I don't know, but he's just so lovely to me. 113 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: So I do think growing up I did have that type. 114 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: I've always liked dark hair and lighter colored eyes. What 115 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: about you, so, because I think your type is private 116 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: school boys. 117 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: It's funny you say that. 118 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: I definitely think with my first relationship, but that wasn't intentional. 119 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 2: I didn't ever, you know. 120 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: At school love Well, Brandon went to a private schoo. Yeah, 121 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: so both of my serious boyfriends have been to private schools. 122 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: But I wouldn't say that was my type. I think 123 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: growing up, though, our type was the surfy, beach blonde, 124 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: spiky hair. But I think that was very of the time, 125 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: like all of the celebrities we liked or footballers that 126 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: we liked, fit into that ideal. I think, though, The 127 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: funny thing is that you generally don't end up with 128 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: your type. You have this pattern of dating maybe the 129 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: wrong person, and then you realize that, hey, this other 130 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: sort of person is for you. 131 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 2: And I think that's. 132 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: Why Britt Hockley's relationship Hard Launch has been met with 133 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: sort of two different opinions. Well, I think people are 134 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: worried about it because she got out of a relationship 135 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: with Jordan Thompson, who, as you said, was an Australian 136 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: tennis player, citing distance being an issue, and now she's 137 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: dating a soccer player that lives in Scotland. The thing is, 138 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: I think that she's meeting this caliber of person because 139 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: she is on the dating app Raya, which, for those 140 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,239 Speaker 1: who haven't heard of it, it is a dating site 141 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: for celebrities and influencers and it's really weird because it's 142 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: not like Tinder where they put people who were in 143 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: your geographical range. This is international, so she's probably gone 144 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: through some of the guys in Australia like over the No. No, 145 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: it's funny you say that, Sophie, because I think they 146 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: actually met on Raya when he was in Australia, because 147 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: he is a soccer player for the Scottish team Celtic 148 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: and they were playing against Sydney FC. As I said 149 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: in November, I feel like we need to rewind a 150 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: little bit because we need to introduce BRIT's new boyfriend. 151 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: So his name is Benjamin Seacrest and he's thirty and 152 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: as I said, he lives in Scotland, but he is 153 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: actually Swiss and he's a goalkeeper for the team and 154 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: I think Britt was trying to have a bit of 155 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: a pun in her announcement because she wrote on Instagram 156 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: from Paris with love. Think I may have found me 157 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: a keeper hashtag hardest launch. I hate to be that person, 158 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: but I do find it a bit awkward because I 159 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: remember when she announced her relationship with Jordan Thompson and 160 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: she did a similar play on words, but with tennis 161 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: words like game set love or it was along the 162 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: lines of that. Yeah, the video was very cute that 163 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: brit shared to hard launch this relationship. She has been 164 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: soft launching it for a while now. So back in 165 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: November when she was on the Carl and Jackie O 166 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: Show filling in for Jackie, she did share that she 167 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: was in the early days of seeing someone who wasn't 168 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: Australian and hinter that they had a bit of a profile. 169 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: And again, ever since she flew over to Scotland just 170 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: after Christmas, she has been teasing her followers with very 171 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: soft launchy things. We've seen him in the background of 172 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: their photos with his head cut off, wearing a life 173 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: uncut jumper, had a dinner and. 174 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 2: The support there though. That's a big tick. 175 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, and a couple of weeks ago, a news publication 176 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: did report his name because they freeze framed one of 177 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: her reels that you could see him from the side. 178 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: So it's not really surprising news. But I think what 179 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: I was surprised about is how quickly this relationship has developed, 180 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: because she did say in her post that she was 181 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: very happy and in love, and I do wonder what 182 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: this means for life uncut and also for Laura and 183 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: BRIT's radio show, because this week it was announced that 184 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: Britt and Laura will be hosting their own radio show 185 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: called The Pickup, which will be live every week day 186 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: from three pm to four pm. So I'm wondering if 187 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: it's going to be an instant similar to when Kate 188 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: Lainbrook was on the radio and she was doing the 189 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: show from Italy. Is Britt going to stay in Scotland 190 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: and be there with her new partner and just phone in. 191 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: What's kind of confusing, because, as you say, the reasons 192 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: for her most recent breakup were distance. Again, maybe she's 193 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: decided that love is more important to her now than 194 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: her career. 195 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: I don't know. I am very happy for her. She 196 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 2: seems to have had such a tough. 197 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: Journey in finding someone, and I really hope that this 198 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: guy is the real deal. I think it's hard because 199 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: there's sort of this general opinion of athletes that they 200 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: go through women and they're not trustworthy. But I'm hoping 201 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: that because this guy's thirty, he might be a bit 202 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 1: more grown up than some of the others. He might 203 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: be entering the end of his retirement. We never know 204 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: what they've discussed or so he might be quite open 205 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: to moving back to Australia once his career is over. 206 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 2: Who knows. Yeah, with athletes, I suppose once you hit thirty, 207 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 2: you're quite old. 208 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: You're considered that someone that's at the end of their career. 209 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: I think it's great to see Brittany so happy. I 210 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: think everyone is like her protective big sister. Though I 211 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: think people are a bit wary because when she was 212 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 1: dating Jordan Thompson, I think everyone thought, wow, she's found 213 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: her penguin, because she hadn't been in a serious relationship 214 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: for ten years. 215 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 2: And I think we're all. 216 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: Hoping that this really works out for her because she 217 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: seems like such a beautiful person and someone that gives 218 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: their heart so easily to a situation. I'm very interested 219 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: to hear what she does say about her relationship on life. 220 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 2: I'm cut. We are recording on Wednesday. 221 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: Because Thursday is a public holiday, So this story I'm 222 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: sure will develop have. 223 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 4: A work event tonight, so let's get ready. 224 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: Model and entrepreneur Brooke Hogan has shared the exciting news 225 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: that she is expecting a baby with her husband Miles 226 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: in July. Her baby announcement was extra special, though I 227 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: did get a little bit emotional watching this, and I 228 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: don't normally with pregnancy announcements. I'm not really someone that's 229 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: very maternal and into that kind of thing, but it 230 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: was hard not to watch this and feel some because 231 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: for Brook, it hasn't been an easy journey for her. 232 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: In the real that she shared with her pregnancy announcement, 233 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: it was very clear that she had a tough road 234 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,599 Speaker 1: to get pregnant. So she showed herself doing hormone injections 235 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: before IVF in hospital, and also those moments where she 236 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: filmed herself looking at her pregnancy test and it was negative. 237 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. 238 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: Think I've seen a pregnancy announcement like this before. It 239 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: was very relatable for those who might be going through 240 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: the same thing and it gave me a shiit or two. 241 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: It was really raw and just beautiful because it doesn't 242 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: come easily to a lot of women. And you sort 243 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: of look at brook and her husband. They're both incredibly attractive. 244 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: You know, Brooks a model, and for some reason you 245 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: just assume, oh, yeah, their life's perfect, they don't go 246 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: through anything. But then to see what was actually going 247 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: on behind the scenes, you're like wow. And it's obviously 248 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: something that Brooke didn't feel comfortable sharing at the time 249 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: with her audience, and it just shows how isolating having 250 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: fertility struggles can be because most people people don't want 251 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: to share that with people because they're worried that they 252 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: might not be successful. I really love the way Brooke 253 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: went about this pregnancy announcement because I feel like it 254 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: really normalized fertility struggles. And I think it could have 255 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: been easy for her to just put up a joyful 256 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: photo of her and Miles without sharing the personal struggles 257 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: that she went through. But I think it will help 258 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: so many people. And I really did love the caption too, 259 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: who said if you were experiencing fertility issues of any kind, 260 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: I know how much it hurts seeing others share their news. Miles, 261 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: and I feel you, we see you, and we hope 262 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: and pray that you too will be blessed with your 263 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: little miracle. 264 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 2: Really soon, this. 265 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 3: Person became my manager before he even started dating, and 266 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 3: started taking a large percentage of my income and then eventually, 267 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 3: as time went on, it became fifty percent. 268 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: TikToker and OnlyFans creator Mikayla Tester has shone a light 269 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: on ex boyfriend Addis Paul's cryptocurrency past, alleging he scammed 270 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: her and others of money. Sophie, as the official correspondence 271 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,839 Speaker 1: for the Paul family, can you tell me what's going 272 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: on because this sounds wild. Yeah, there are definitely some 273 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: salacious allegations being thrown around by Mikayla Testers. 274 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 2: That sounded like a song. 275 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: Salacious allegation kind of rhymed. 276 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 2: Well, I should copyright that now. 277 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: In a video that has been deleted, Mikayla Tester claimed 278 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: that Adis manipulated her and scammed her out of fifty 279 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 1: percent of her OnlyFans money for three years, so we 280 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: need to put it out there. These are just claims 281 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: by MICHAELA. They have not been substantiated, and Addis Paul 282 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: is yet to respond to these claims. These are pretty 283 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: big allegations to make on TikTok, and it's quite interesting 284 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: because it was only a couple of weeks ago that 285 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: Michayla was pining over Adis and saying she'd never get 286 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: over him. So this is definitely an interesting tack to 287 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: take for someone that you want to get back. She 288 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: keeps chopping and changing with how she feels about him, 289 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: pretty normal for a relationship in the twenties. Now, Mikayla 290 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: alleges that Adis came into her life when she was 291 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: at a very vulnerable stage. So she explained that she 292 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: had just lost her father and she was struggling with 293 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: her mental health. So, for those who don't know, Michayla 294 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: does have borderline personality disordered. So Michaela said that she 295 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: was new to making money and Adams quickly became her 296 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: manager even before they started dating. And then when they 297 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: started dating, she alleges that he started taking fifty percent 298 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: of her OnlyFans income. I'm not a subscriber of Mikayla's content, 299 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: but do you think he was taking some of the 300 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: income because he featured in it? Because I know apparently 301 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: he and Michayla would film videos together, not sticking up 302 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: for him. But it's just interesting to know how much 303 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: of a cut does someone like that get, because I 304 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: don't think he regularly was in her content. He claimed 305 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: that it was because he was her manager, but she 306 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: said as a manager, he did absolutely nothing. And she 307 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: said that when she started to get upset and question 308 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: the situation, it would lead to arguments because she said 309 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: she had a number of friends who were in the 310 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: same line of work and they weren't having a percentage 311 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: taken from them. 312 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 2: Here's what she said. 313 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 3: This person that you idolized so heavily because you love 314 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 3: their sister is not who you think they are. They 315 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 3: aren't a good person, period, point blank. And I constantly 316 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 3: get scrutiny every day. Oh my god, this person's so 317 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 3: amazing now that they've left MICHAELA. They're such an amazing person. 318 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 3: Remember when I was doing those asshole bits. That is 319 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 3: his real personality. He had to stop making those videos 320 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 3: because myself and other people that were associated with them 321 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 3: were receiving a lot of backlash due to his videos, 322 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 3: so he just stopped. It has nothing to do with me. 323 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: She finished the video by saying she wanted to make 324 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: it clear that she was only talking about Addas. The 325 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: thing is, I think Anna and Addas come as a pair, 326 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: and I have seen a dramatic transformation in terms of 327 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: his public profile and how he is perceived by others 328 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: since he broke up with MICHAELA All. 329 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 2: For the better. 330 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, we will get into that in a little bit. 331 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: But there was actually a second follow up video. So 332 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: in this video, Michayla accused Addis of stealing money out 333 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: of her crypto wallet JO. So after her initial video 334 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: calling Adis out, she claimed that a large chunk of 335 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: money had been wiped from her account. She said her 336 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: account had been deactivated and the email and phone number 337 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: had been changed. Now, she claimed it was so obvious 338 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: it was Adis because he had all of the passwords. 339 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: So was this after they broke up, The heir legs No, 340 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: this was after the first video came out where she 341 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: was calling us out. 342 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 2: Oh wow, so she's alleging he did this in the 343 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 2: last couple of days. 344 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, she was claiming that it was retribution for the 345 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: first video. She also went on to allege that back 346 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: in November, at Us successfully scammed thousands of dollars out 347 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: of an account under Michayla's name, and when she realized, 348 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: he tried to claim that it was his money. So 349 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: they asked some pretty serious allegations. And since these videos 350 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: went out, Michayla's loyal followers have hit out at the 351 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: polls and I must say this is despite the fact 352 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: that Michayla still has not provided any solid proof. 353 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 2: It's just hearsay at the moment. 354 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: Now, a couple of days later, it's quite clear that 355 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: the pool's lawyers got involved, as you would, so Michayla's 356 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: original video was gone and it was replaced with a 357 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: video of Michayla reading what appeared to be a statement. 358 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: And this video was really odd. She didn't give eye 359 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: contact to the camera and she looked down, reading it 360 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: in a very monotone voice. And I feel like that's 361 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: kind of expected because when you post something and a 362 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: lawyer gets involved, they normally demand that you wipe the 363 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: content and read a written apology. And the fact that 364 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: she didn't give the camera eye contact makes it quite 365 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: clear that the apology wasn't authentic. Yeah, Well, in the video, 366 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: she says that she's wrong and it wasn't at us 367 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: who stole money from her crypto account and it was 368 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: in fact hacked by someone else. But she did also 369 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: say that her other claims were true. 370 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 2: Here's what she said. 371 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 5: Three days ago. I made a video suggesting that my 372 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 5: ex Waven had stolen money out of my crypto. While 373 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 5: it's given his track record and the fact that he 374 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 5: had access to these accounts, I automatically did assume that 375 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 5: it was him. Turns out that I have just been 376 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 5: hacked and the money has been stolen and withdrawn from 377 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 5: my account from a third party. Please are involved, and 378 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 5: I don't know who or where the money is. Amongst 379 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 5: me mentioning that I had suspicions of him taking my 380 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 5: crypto money, I mentioned a few other things, and those 381 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 5: things one hundred percent true. However, they would have never 382 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 5: been mentioned online hadn't I have thought I had been 383 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 5: stolen from by him a second time. 384 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: It's funny because I feel like the Poles really had 385 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: no choice but to get lawyers involved. But it makes 386 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: it more awkward that she had to reneg on one 387 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: thing but then goes now but the of it's true, 388 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: because I feel like both are just as bad as 389 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: each other. Yeah, definitely, and it's just at a really 390 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: bad time for the Polls as well, because I feel 391 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 1: like Addis has done a really good job at moving 392 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: away from the terrible name he had generated for himself 393 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, and he has 394 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: had this really dramatic rebrand and glow up. So when 395 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: he first hit the scene, he was known as this 396 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 1: cryptocurrency king, and now he's known as this sort of 397 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: sweetheart of TikTok. His popularity has of course been bolstered 398 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: by the fact that his sister is so popular and 399 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: everyone loves her. And I feel like now we see 400 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 1: these really like thoughtful videos of Addis painting and being 401 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: creative and traveling the world he's been putting across this 402 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: really wholesome image, and even his attitude to money is 403 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: painted in this different way, because they're always saying, oh, 404 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: he doesn't like buying himself anything designed, and he'll only 405 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: buy it for other people. It's funny because I only 406 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: knew about the Polls when I heard that they had 407 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: named their cat Nutsack, and I think that was probably 408 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: around late twenty twenty early twenty twenty one. 409 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 2: A very low opinion of them, I. 410 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: Thought that's disgusting calling your cat that. Now that I 411 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: know more about them, I understand why they did it, 412 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: and I understand how much they love their cats. 413 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 2: But I think at. 414 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: That time Adams was not putting out a good impression 415 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: of who he is, so it was completely different. As 416 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: MICHAELA touched on, it was his dickhead phase. So we 417 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: actually did do a number of segments diving into Addis's 418 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: promotion of cryptocurrency. So I listened back to an episode 419 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: we did in May twenty twenty one, and I'd actually 420 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: forgotten a lot. 421 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 2: Of this shit. 422 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: So Adas launched a private group on only fans called 423 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: Crypto Ball Runs, and it cost forty nine ninety nine 424 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,719 Speaker 1: a month for users to gain access etey nine ninety nine. 425 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 1: So it was for users to gain access to his 426 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: advice on cryptocurrency. 427 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 2: So in the description it said users. 428 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 1: Would get advice on must have coins to add to 429 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: their portfolios, and he would give daily updates on coins 430 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: that he was recommending. Now this is, of course, despite 431 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: the fact that he has no background in finance whatsoever. 432 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: He did claim though, that he had been researching cryptocurrency 433 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: for a very long time and spent upwards of ten 434 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: hours a day looking into it. I do love when 435 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: influencers say that they've been researching stuff, because it's like, 436 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: you mean googling. 437 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 438 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: He also made some very grand claims, saying that he 439 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: had made over thirty eight thousand dollars from a ten 440 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: K investment in a coin which caused him a lot 441 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: of trouble. The coin was hush coin, so for those 442 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: who don't remember, at the time, Adis, Mikayla, and Anna 443 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: Poul were all promoting the coin widely across their TikTok accounts. 444 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: These videos are actually starting to resurface after Mikayla's claims. 445 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 1: Here's a snippet of what Anna Poul said about hush coin. 446 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 4: As told me to invest in this one coin last week, 447 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 4: where he's like, an, I put money in this, this 448 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 4: is going to go up. I can see it, and 449 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, I'm up forty thousand dollars in the 450 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 4: last seven days because afters told me to put money 451 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 4: on that coin, and everybody in his group is up 452 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 4: as well. 453 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: I was really shocked when I saw this because I 454 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: didn't know that Anna Poul was involved in this whole 455 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: cryptocurrency promotion. I do remember at the time she was, 456 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: but I think it was more it seemed like she 457 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: was doing a faith for her little brother. But again, 458 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: it's a massive favor when you have such a large following, 459 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: and surely she was realistically getting cut from it. Some 460 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: more videos were also surfacing of the type of lifestyle 461 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 1: that Adas tried to portray. So in one video he 462 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: showed him and his family on a six million dollar yacht, 463 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: and in the caption he said, when you make one 464 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: hundred and forty thousand on crypto in three days, so 465 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: you take your mum on a six million dollar yacht, 466 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: is not flexing if you're helping people in your crypto 467 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 1: group do the same thing, right, got It sounds like 468 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: such a periodid scheme. The thing is, we've got to 469 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: remember that all of these things were happening during the pandemic, 470 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: because I think influencers were very different pre pandemic and 471 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: post pandemic. We've seen male influences change from flashing their 472 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: cash around to then showing a more vulnerable side. So 473 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 1: I'm not sure it's acceptable though, because Adis later admitted 474 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: that they were hired by hush coin and paid money 475 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 1: to promote this coin, I'm not saying it's acceptable. What 476 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,479 Speaker 1: I think part of his rebrand also has probably been 477 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: due to the pandemic and how people react to influencer 478 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: tent these days. Or MICHAELA said his rebrand had a 479 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: lot to do with the fact that they were copying 480 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: a lot of hate over the way he was acting, 481 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: and she and a couple of friends sat him down 482 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: and said, you can't be making these videos anymore. And 483 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: I think it also had a lot to do with 484 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: this Hush coin incident, because it came out that the 485 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: polls were being paid a lot of money to be 486 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: promoting this coin, and they were apparently told that a 487 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: lot of other big celebrities would be part of the 488 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: marketing of it, and Adas soon realized that they were 489 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: the major draw cards of this campaign and there were 490 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: no other big names involved, so that saw the coin 491 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: plummet and consequently a lot of their fans lost out 492 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 1: big on their money. And these sort of marketing schemes 493 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: have been in place with cryptocurrency before, and they're known 494 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: as pump and dump scheme. So this is where big 495 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: celebrities get involved. They throw their support behind the coin, 496 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: invest their own money, but then as soon as it 497 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: builds up momentum, they pull out their money and then 498 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: all their fans lose money. So that's why there was 499 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: a lot of public backlash towards Attis. 500 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 2: And if you think about who. 501 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: Their fans are, there are a lot of school kids 502 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: who probably don't have much money. So for those school 503 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: kids to lose a couple of thousand dollars, it would 504 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: have been huge in their world. It is really hard 505 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: to watch us all play out online because we've got 506 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: to remember these are normal people, two young people. And 507 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: Mikayla has shared that she has struggled with her mental illness. 508 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: She has borderline personality disorder, which would be very difficult 509 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: to navigate when you are online sharing your life. 510 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 3: Well. 511 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: For those who don't know, it is a mental illness 512 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: that severely impacts a person's ability to regulate their emotions. 513 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: So this loss of emotional control can increase impulsivity, affect 514 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,959 Speaker 1: how a person feels about themselves, and negatively impact their 515 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: relationship with others. Can you imagine having such a big 516 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: platform and suffering from this mental illness because you would 517 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: just impulsively post anything like a potshot of someone and 518 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,479 Speaker 1: then be like shit, I shouldn't have done that. I 519 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: really hope that she does have some good friends around her, 520 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: because sadly, as we learned from her Christmas Dave log, 521 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: she doesn't have family support, and I really feel for her. 522 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: It's really sad watching this all unfold online. And whilst 523 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: it is unclear at this stage what is true and 524 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 1: untrue in her statement, it is clear her decision to 525 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: make these videos was a very impulsive one because even 526 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: if this information may be true, it's still defamatory, and 527 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: she is coming up against quite a large force in 528 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: the polls. I know that, of course Michaela has her 529 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: own money, but their polls also have a huge deal 530 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: of support, and they also have that family support with 531 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: one another. And I do feel for her because I 532 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: feel like she does keep changing her mind about Addis. 533 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 1: So if she it's kind of unforgivable to put that 534 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: shit out there, well, if she finds it hard to 535 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: regulate her emotions, it's clear that she is feeling very 536 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: much wanting to get back with him, and then you 537 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: get frustrated, so you then lash out. It seems quite 538 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: attention seeking. I think that she really wants to speak 539 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: to Adas, so maybe this was her way of trying 540 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: to do that. Now, Addison, Anna haven't publicly commented on 541 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,479 Speaker 1: this video. It's clear that their strategy is to ignore 542 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: the drama and rise above it. But do you think 543 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: they should be commenting and putting something out there. I 544 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: think it gets messy when people start commenting. I think 545 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: it's clear that they have told her to renagle on 546 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: what she said, and she's put the apology out there. 547 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: I just personally, if I was their pr manager, I 548 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: would say just ignore it, because I think if they 549 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,479 Speaker 1: give it more airtime, people will continue to dig up 550 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: dirt on at Us and continue to push this negativity. Unfortunately, 551 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: I think society treats women as in they're happy to 552 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: hear a bit of gossip to begin with, but then 553 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,199 Speaker 1: if someone keeps harping on and on and on about it, 554 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: you're kind of like, oh, just shut up, we don't 555 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: want to hear it anymore. It is quite disturbing, though, 556 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: because if these allegations are true in regards to at 557 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: As taking fifty percent of Mikayla's money, it is quite 558 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: shocking and I do feel for her because he has 559 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 1: totally rebranded himself to the point that people don't even 560 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: remember the Dickhead character he was, and it's hard to decipher. 561 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: Is he this cryptocurrency dickhead or is he this really 562 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: nice guy. I think that's unfair though, because we call 563 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: it a rebrand because he's on social media. But if 564 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: he was just a normal person, we'd call it growing up. 565 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:57,959 Speaker 2: Which one is it? 566 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: Well? I do think that's all we've got time for today. 567 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for listening to another episode of Outspoken. 568 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: This podcast was recorded on the traditional land of the 569 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 1: Ghana people of the Adelaide Plains.
