1 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:02,520 Speaker 1: Episode one. 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 2: The Uncancellable Influencer, Sky Wheatley became a household name when 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,960 Speaker 2: she came third on Big Brother Australia in twenty fourteen, 4 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:18,760 Speaker 2: It's Time to Go Sky. While most housemates faded into obscurity, 5 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 2: Sky turned her fifteen minutes of fame into nine years 6 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 2: of notoriety. The former barista managed to cultivate an online 7 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 2: following by sharing every element of her life and we 8 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 2: mean everything. 9 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: What do you think about our sex? 10 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 3: Like? 11 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: Now? 12 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 4: Well? 13 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 2: Sky's ditzy personality earned her a legion of fans on 14 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: reality TV, her uneducated opinions have got her in hot water. 15 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 2: Online controversy has plagued her influencer career, from racist remarks 16 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 2: to blaming domestic violence victims. The scandals just keep coming, 17 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 2: but somehow Sky remains relevant online. She is still inundated 18 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 2: with sponsorship deals and has over six hundred thousand followers 19 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 2: on Instagram. In this series, we investigate what makes Sky 20 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 2: Wheatley the Uncancellable Influencer. We are journalist Sophie Kate and 21 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 2: Amy Torbert and this is outspoken plus. Now I want 22 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 2: to take you guys back to twenty fourteen, when Sky 23 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 2: Wheatley first shot to fame on season eleven of Big Brother, 24 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: because I think a lot of people don't actually realize 25 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: this is how she became famous. So she was just 26 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 2: twenty years old at the time and working as a 27 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: barista on the Gold Coast, and she was actually the 28 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 2: youngest contestant to enter the house in that series and 29 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 2: was often called shallow and naive by her fellow housemates. 30 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 2: I remember the producers used to try and niggle her 31 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: into reacting, so one time they took away her makeup bag, 32 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,199 Speaker 2: and she also used to hate it because in those 33 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: series of Big Brother, they didn't allow the contestants to 34 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 2: have hair straighteners or hair curlers, and she used to 35 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: get so upset because she wasn't able to do her 36 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 2: hair and make herself look presentable. I remember all of 37 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: them were wearing braids in their hair at the time, 38 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,279 Speaker 2: and she always went off about her regrowth. I remember 39 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: Sophie said, you'd never go into the Big Brother house 40 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 2: just based on the fact that you couldn't bring hair straighteners. 41 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: Oh, definitely. 42 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 2: I mean it's kind of interesting now on Love Island 43 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: that they literally have the makeup and hairstation for all 44 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 2: of the contestants because they know how vital it is 45 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 2: that they look attractive on TV. Because it's obviously more marketable. 46 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: It's also a good opportunity for them to get sponsors 47 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 2: through those brands. Now, Sky did have an in house 48 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: romance with the Canadian intruder Leo. It's funny because his 49 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: name was really Ryan, but he couldn't be called Ryan 50 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 2: because there was another Ryan in the house, and he 51 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: went on to win the show. I actually had to 52 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 2: google who the hell one Big Brother that year. I 53 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 2: actually have no recollection of Leo, but I do remember 54 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: the winner Ryan. I think Sky had a crush on him. 55 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. 56 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 2: He was asked about whether he would pursue a relationship 57 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: outside of the house with Sky and it was a 58 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 2: big fat no. Well, despite getting nominated a lot in 59 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: the house, Sky was very popular with the outside world 60 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: and she ended up finishing third behind Travis. And also 61 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: Ryan isn't Travis al from the past, Do you remember 62 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 2: what happened? 63 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 5: Yeah? 64 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: He was that real nerdy guy that had a find voice. 65 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: Was now he was that hot guy. 66 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, he was just your typical buff Trady And I 67 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 2: feel like this was a time where you could only 68 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 2: be male and twenty years old and attractive to win 69 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 2: Big Brother for a long time. I think it was 70 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 2: because a lot of younger girls watch Big Brother, So 71 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: that's why ultimately it ended up being the hot Trades 72 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 2: that would win. 73 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: Doesn't it just. 74 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 2: Show that I can't actually remember any of these other people? 75 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 1: Bass guy? 76 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 2: Of how successful she has been coming out of this show. Yeah, Well, 77 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: when she left the house, she said that she felt 78 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 2: like she was born to be on Big Brother, but 79 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: concluded that she wasn't smart enough to have a strategy, 80 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 2: so was just herself. And I think that's why she 81 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 2: did so well on the show, because she truly was herself. 82 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: She wasn't putting up a front for anyone. It's quite 83 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: hilarious to watch some of this vision back of her 84 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: on the show. To a certain extent, I think that's 85 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: why a lot of people like her now, because she 86 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: doesn't put up a barrier between her and the followers. 87 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 2: She does share a lot about her life and it's 88 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 2: not edited, and I think it was quite clear how 89 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 2: excited she was to be on Big Brother. Years later, 90 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 2: in a Q and A, she said it's still her 91 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: biggest achievement, and she said I couldn't describe to you 92 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 2: guys the joy that I felt when they called me 93 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: and said you're in. It was the most amazing thing 94 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 2: ever I achieved that out of thousands of people, they 95 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: chose me. What was interesting about Big Brother twenty fourteen 96 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 2: was it coincided with the rise in popularity of social media. 97 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 2: I mean, we did have Tarlie Smythe the season before. 98 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: I think she was one of the first Big Brother 99 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 2: contestants to actually build a following off the back of 100 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: the show, and she has been so successful now she 101 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: is still relevant today. I wonder if Sky took any 102 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 2: tips from Tully, because while she says she wasn't very 103 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: intelligent and couldn't come up with a strategy for Big Brother, 104 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: she actually cultivated an amazing strategy to stay relevant and 105 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: big on social media. She paired up with influencer Kurt Coleman. 106 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 2: And I still remember the photos that emerged in the 107 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: Daily Mail of this pair because she was wearing this 108 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 2: very fluo bikini and they were giving each other piggybacks. 109 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 2: And it turned out this whole photo shoot was staged 110 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 2: by Kurt Coleman because he was trying to push his 111 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 2: own TV show at the time. He was trying to 112 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 2: do a simple life TV version, and I I wonder 113 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: if Sky was maybe going. 114 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:02,239 Speaker 1: To be a coast. 115 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 2: She'd be the perfect coaster for a show like that. 116 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 2: She actually said in a recent podcast interview on The 117 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 2: Unhinged podcast that she was motivated by Tani, who was 118 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 2: one of the Big Brother contestants. She actually had a 119 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 2: larger following than Sky at the time, and she said 120 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 2: that she was in awe of how she grew her following. 121 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 2: It's crazy when you look back at this vision of 122 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 2: Sky on Big Brother, it really emphasizes the physical transformation 123 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: that she has gone through over the last nine years. 124 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 2: She previously said she had an obsession with cosmetic surgery 125 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: that stemmed from actually being on Big Brother, and in 126 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 2: a YouTube video responding to assumptions about herself, she shared 127 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: her struggles with body image. She said, I was always 128 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: very self conscious of my weight, very insecure about everything 129 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,799 Speaker 2: about me, insecure about my eyebags, my skin, how white 130 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 2: I was, my hair. I would honestly try to cover 131 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 2: up as much as my face as possible with a 132 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: hat and lots of makeup. I think when I turned fifteen, 133 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 2: I would pack on the makeup and I still hated myself. 134 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 2: I hated my teeth, I hated my freckles, I hated 135 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: my nose, hated it. I never learned to accept my 136 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: nose and went and had plastic surgery. That's really sad 137 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 2: because you do reflect on how young she was to 138 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: be on Big Brother and the fact that ten years 139 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 2: ago those shows were massive. She was a household name, 140 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: and there would have been, particularly at that time when 141 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 2: the Internet was flourishing, there would have been a lot 142 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 2: of criticism held her way. It's crazy because I feel 143 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 2: like she looks really good on Big Brother. Well, she's 144 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 2: always looked good, and that's the thing. It's nothing to 145 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 2: do with her appearance. It's clearly something to do with 146 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 2: her self confidence. And I do like that she has 147 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 2: always been very open about plastic surgeries. I feel like 148 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 2: she was one of the first influencers who was very 149 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: transparent about the procedures that she got, and I think 150 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 2: that's why she got a lot of traction to her 151 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 2: YouTube channel in the beginning, because if you take a 152 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: look back at some of the first videos, they are 153 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 2: talking about her nose job, they're also talking about the 154 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 2: cosmetic procedures that she wants to get done, and as 155 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 2: you said, Kate, she did it in a really open way, 156 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 2: and people hadn't seen that before online because during that 157 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 2: time people were hiding. 158 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: Whatever they had had done. 159 00:06:59,000 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 3: Yeah. 160 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 2: I think a lot of her early videos have actually 161 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 2: been deleted though, because she did do a vlog series 162 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: about her Bangkok boob job and I'd almost forgotten about this. 163 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 2: So back in twenty fifteen, she underwent a breast augmentation 164 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 2: as part of a promotional deal with a medical tourism company. 165 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: Now Sky wanted to get the boob job done because 166 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: she complained that her breasts were asymmetrical, and she said 167 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 2: that Mehdi Makeovers actually approached her to do a contra deal, 168 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: so in exchange for the boob job, she had to 169 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 2: promote the business. However, Sky claims that she had the 170 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 2: consultation a day before the surgery and wasn't informed of 171 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 2: any possible complications. She also complained that the doctor didn't 172 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: speak much English, and in the end, Sky ended up 173 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 2: having these boobs that she didn't like. She said she 174 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 2: had a noticeable double bubble in her right breast and 175 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: was in a lot of pain. It's scary to consider 176 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 2: that she was only twenty one when they approached her 177 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 2: for this contra deal, and in twenty fifteen, I don't 178 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 2: think a lot of us were that aware of these 179 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 2: contra deals that were taking place. I wonder if the 180 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 2: brand made her take it down. Well, it's very interesting 181 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 2: you say that, because in twenty eighteen, Sky actually appeared 182 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 2: on the episode of Trial by Kyle, So think of 183 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 2: Judge Dudy, but with Kyle Sandalands as the judge. It 184 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 2: was a part of Channel ten's pilot series, and in 185 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 2: the episode, Sky explained that her botch surgery had made 186 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 2: her even more insecure about her breast and was very 187 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 2: upset over them and spent nights crying about it. So 188 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 2: I did feel very sorry for her. But interestingly, the 189 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 2: company medi Makeover countersued for a breach of contract and defamation. 190 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 2: So representatives of the company claimed that Sky didn't wear 191 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,839 Speaker 2: her compression bra for the suggested time and performed chess 192 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 2: based exercises when she wasn't supposed to. It's quite funny 193 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 2: because the evidence they pulled up to back their claims 194 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 2: were photos of Sky from Instagram of her walking her 195 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 2: dog without the compression bra, and also a photo of 196 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 2: her doing a plank at the gym not long after 197 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 2: the surgery. So what did Kyle rule? So he actually 198 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 2: ruled in favor of medi makeovers and said that you 199 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 2: know that she didn't do the right thing and that 200 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 2: she needed to apologize. Sky conceded, saying, I did breach 201 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 2: the contract. Yeah, they probably could have sued me for 202 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 2: doing that. Well. She actually ended up spending twenty eight 203 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,719 Speaker 2: thousand dollars on corrective surgery and got that done in Australia, 204 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 2: and speaking about the surgery, she said, I'm having to 205 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 2: fork out a lot of money to fix my boobs. 206 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 2: They're too big and fake and are still wonky. It 207 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 2: is really crazy to look back at twenty fifteen when 208 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 2: she had the first boob job to see the reporting, 209 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 2: because there was this disgusting article written by The Daily 210 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 2: Mail entitled Bangkok Babies out for her birthday Big Brothers. 211 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 2: Sky Wheatley celebrates her twenty first by showing off newly 212 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 2: enhanced chest alongside pouting power Kurt Coleman. Is it wrong 213 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: that I still think that that headline would fly on 214 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 2: the Daily Mail? Now? Look, they haven't moved on that much. 215 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 2: So in the article, it said Sky Wheatley wanted to 216 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 2: showcase her new boobs aka her bangcock babies as she 217 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 2: celebrated her twenty first birthday over the weekend. The article 218 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 2: went on to say the blonde two roaster fame on 219 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 2: the twenty fourteen installment of Big Brother Australia thanks to 220 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 2: her airhead person owner and temper tantrums, left little to 221 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 2: the imagination in her skin tight cookye dress. 222 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: God that took me back. 223 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 2: They also quoted her as saying that she wants to 224 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: pose for Maxim in a bikini, but she doesn't find 225 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 2: topless modeling classy. She was then quoted as calling Kim 226 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 2: Kardashian money hungry and fame hungry for posing nude and 227 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 2: said I'm not that desperate. Hopefully I can get publicity 228 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 2: in a classy way now. In December twenty sixteen, Sky 229 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 2: shed her nose job vlog, which was very new for 230 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 2: the time, and she started off by saying, I'm not 231 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 2: trying to harm this generation by putting it out here, 232 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 2: and she documented each day of her recovery process and 233 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: spoke about how painful the surgery was, and she kept 234 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 2: talking about being worried about having a pig nose. It 235 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 2: did make me laugh because her nose was very swollen, 236 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 2: and she also spoke about the not so glamorous sides 237 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 2: of plastic surgery, talking about how constipated the medicine made her. 238 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 2: I feel like this really was the beginning of people 239 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 2: using YouTube as somewhat of a Google search in terms 240 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 2: of looking up what will it be like if I 241 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 2: want to have a nose job, what will the process 242 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 2: be like? 243 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: What will the recovery be like? 244 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 2: It's ironic that you say that, because at the end 245 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 2: of the vlog, Sky said, I've been frantically googling stuff 246 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 2: about rhinoplasty, which is what I should have done in 247 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 2: the first place. So I didn't freak out. But when 248 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 2: does Sky Whitley ever do her research? Never so was 249 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 2: this a gifted nose job? No, she actually paid for 250 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 2: this one. She flew to Sydney to have it done, 251 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 2: so she wasn't trying out any more plastic surgery overseas. 252 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 2: I do remember a vlog where she entitled it that 253 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 2: her nose was falling off. I mean, obviously to get views, 254 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 2: but I mean I think everyone was really curious to 255 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 2: watch this process. I did like that she was pretty 256 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: honest about it, like it did look horrible, and she 257 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 2: spoke about being in a lot of pain and showed 258 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 2: all the swelling. I think it would have probably put 259 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 2: a lot of people off. I think another huge part 260 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 2: of Sky's ability to stay relevant was the friends that 261 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: she hung around. So in twenty seventeen, she befriended the 262 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 2: girl Shanni Grimman, as well as their bestie Michael Finch, 263 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 2: and Sky quickly began infiltrating Shanny's famous friendship group through 264 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 2: Michael Finch, who used to be a bit big fan 265 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 2: of Big Brother. Now Michael Finch became a permanent fixture 266 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 2: of Sky's channel, and she often appeared in the background 267 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 2: of some of his vlogs. I feel like she would 268 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 2: really try and turn it on whenever she was in 269 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 2: Michael's blogs, also on her own like she seemed to 270 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 2: be a bit of a performing monkey, like I remember 271 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 2: she used to be famous for making these orgasm sounds. 272 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 2: And there was this iconic vlog I was watching while 273 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 2: I was researching this topic about Splendor in the Grass, 274 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 2: and she kept screaming famous, Actually, let's throw to a 275 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 2: clip because I'm not doing it justice. 276 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 6: Whorum Baum, Famous, Famous, Famous, Famous, Famous, Famous Simouth Tamas 277 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 6: famous claws. 278 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 2: It was pretty obvious she was in awe of this 279 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 2: group of friends. And I did some digging and I 280 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 2: found an old Q and A that Sky had done 281 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 2: after coming out of the Big Brother House, and she 282 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 2: actually revealed that Sharnie Grimmond was her celebrity crush. 283 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: Let's have a listen. 284 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 7: Who are your celebrity crushes? Probably Tammy Hambrow and Shiny. 285 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 7: Would you classify down celebrities? 286 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 3: I don't know. 287 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 7: I don't really follow celebrities as such. I just stalk 288 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 7: people on Instagram, So for me, they are like celebrities. 289 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 7: They are like the two cheeks that are stalk daily. 290 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 291 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 2: Do you guys remember that infamous trip that they all 292 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 2: did to New York. 293 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 1: Oh, wasn't that the beginning of the end for this group? 294 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 8: Yeah? 295 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 2: You could tell that they were also pissed off with 296 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 2: each other, and it's come out in numerous YouTube videos 297 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 2: since they all had massive fights with each other. Yeah, 298 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 2: we're actually going to get into that friendship bust up 299 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 2: in another Outspoken Plus episode. For those who can't remember, 300 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 2: the people that were on that group trip were Shani Grimman, 301 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 2: Michael Finch, Lilly Brown, and Rannie Bransbey. Of course, Skuy 302 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 2: Wheatley was there annoying everyone. 303 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 9: They all know it, we know it, you know it. 304 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, you're right. I'm gonna get it. 305 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 6: Shut a vanilla syrup because. 306 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 7: I mean new yucka no, no, made. 307 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 4: You care? 308 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 7: Now we're renew ya. 309 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: I think she was really getting on Shanny's nerves. 310 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 2: You could see in her face because there is a 311 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 2: clip where Sky is vlogging and you can tell that 312 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 2: Shanny just wants to get the fuck out of there, 313 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 2: and not being a vlog you just basically snub Sky 314 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 2: in the videos. To be fair to Shanny, I think 315 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 2: that's because she was apparently being left out by Michael 316 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 2: Finch for the entire trip, but we'll go into that 317 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 2: in another series. I also think it's because Shanny is 318 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 2: an introvert, whereas Sky is clearly an extrovert. She probably 319 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 2: needed some time away from the group recharging her batteries. 320 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 2: Well have you ever watched Sky's blog and it literally 321 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 2: seems like it's not been edited and goes for like 322 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 2: an hour and I can't watch anymore. 323 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: Now. 324 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 2: In a time where phrases like couple goals were trending 325 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 2: and influencers were only sharing highlights from their relationships. Sky 326 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 2: Wheatley again was bucking the trend, so she wasn't afraid 327 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 2: to share the ups and downs of the relationships that 328 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 2: she was in, and she really did give her followers 329 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: an all access pass into her life to the point 330 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 2: where she would include full blown arguments with her partners 331 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 2: in vlogs.

So this was around November 343 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, and I really loved this era of the 344 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 2: vlogs because Lockie did become a permanent fixture very quickly, 345 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 2: and they do look like one of those brother and 346 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 2: sister couples. 347 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: You can tell a lot of the time. 348 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 2: He does not want to be filmed though, like he 349 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 2: is happy to just give her nothing and basically tell 350 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 2: her a fuck off. 351 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: Well she's filming. 352 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 2: There's been so many iconic vlogs of when Sky and 353 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 2: Lockey first started dating. I love the ones when Sky 354 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 2: first met Lockie's parents and you could just tell that 355 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 2: they still didn't like her. It's like, what the hell, 356 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 2: because it's clear that Lockie's parents were quite well to do. Yeah, 357 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 2: they had a bit of money, and I remember it 358 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 2: was around Christmas time and I don't know if it 359 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 2: was on Christmas Day or whatever, but they caught up 360 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 2: for this fancy dinner and Sky literally gave zero fuck. 361 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 2: She had the vlogging camera out at dinner, she was 362 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 2: filming the parents.

But he was 464 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 9: a little bit older than me, but still. 465 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 2: I was quite surprised to hear that this was somewhat planned, 466 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 2: that the two of them were open to starting a 467 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 2: family so young together, because you don't really hear about 468 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 2: that anymore. So it was nice to hear that Locke 469 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 2: was really genuinely excited to find out this news. I mean, 470 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 2: they probably were in a bit of a honeymoon stage 471 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 2: their relationship, and I do feel like once people have kids, 472 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 2: they probably want to go and put out on the record. 473 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: Oh no, it was kind of planned. 474 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 5: Well. 475 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,479 Speaker 2: Not long after the announcement, Sky opened up about a 476 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 2: health scare she experience during an early ultrasound. So She 477 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 2: said she was concerned about the development of her unborn 478 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 2: baby since she was drinking heavily on her holiday before 479 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 2: she found out she was pregnant. So Sky told NW 480 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 2: magazine that the sonographer couldn't find the nasal bone of 481 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 2: the baby, which can be the first sign of down syndrome. 482 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 2: She said when they went back for their thirteen week scan, 483 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 2: the nasal bone was then visible in the scans. I 484 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 2: had forgotten about this because this would have been incredibly scary, 485 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 2: especially for a. 486 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: Young couple to find this out. 487 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 2: It brings me back to Sarah's day, obviously telling her 488 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 2: audience that something was wrong in her pregnancy. From memory, 489 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 2: Sky did open up about this once she had the 490 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 2: all clear. It's a real blast from the past to 491 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 2: hear about NW magazine, even though it wasn't that long 492 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 2: ago now, the early stages of Sky's pregnant see well 493 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 2: quite eventful. She did lose her license for six months now. 494 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 2: She had previously lost her license in twenty thirteen before 495 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 2: appearing on Big Brother for driving under the influence of alcohol, 496 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 2: and in a separate occasion, also lost all but one 497 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 2: demerit point for speeding. Sky did open up in a 498 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 2: Q and A saying she lost her license for speeding 499 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 2: in a school zone. She explained she was on her 500 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 2: way to F forty five and thought the school zone 501 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 2: was over, however it was still very much in place. 502 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 2: She said she drove sixty kilometers in a forty kilometer area. 503 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 2: Not a good look speeding in a school zone. But 504 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 2: I mean when you hear that, you think that someone's 505 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 2: absolutely fanging it. 506 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: But she was clearly doing sixty ks. 507 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, but you would assume that it was fifty k's 508 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 2: in the area. Well true, I mean maybe not on 509 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 2: a main road. 510 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: Some schools in the main road. 511 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, she had only one demerit point left, so 512 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 2: she did immediately lose her license for a month. I 513 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 2: do recall just before she gave birth, she was out 514 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 2: shopping for like a push present car and Lockie bought 515 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 2: her like this flash car even though she couldn't drive. 516 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 2: You know what was so funny in the video where 517 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 2: she's opening up about losing her license, She's like, as 518 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 2: soon as they get in my car, I'm gonna fuck shit. Uh, 519 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm gonna stick to all of the road rules. 520 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 2: Do you guys remember the buzz around her pregnancy though, 521 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 2: because it was around Christmas time and she was sharing 522 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 2: constantly on her stories about you know, is this the day. 523 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give birth? 524 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 2: And it ended up it was Christmas Eve in twenty 525 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 2: eighteen when she gave birth to her first child, Forest, 526 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 2: and she actually broke the news on Christmas Day, sharing 527 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 2: a photo of Forest bundled up in a blanket with 528 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 2: the captions so in love and I think there was 529 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 2: a bit of debate about whether Sky would actually share 530 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 2: a photo of Forest, or perhaps if she was going 531 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 2: to set up a magazine deal. Well, in the first photo, 532 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 2: she was quite strategic because she did cut out Forest's space. 533 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 2: She also then hours later posted up a photo of 534 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 2: Lockie cradling the baby and wrote best Christmas present and 535 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 2: you could sort of make out his face. But it 536 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 2: wasn't until a week or so later that she uploaded 537 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 2: a labor vlog where she revealed Forest. So she didn't 538 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,959 Speaker 2: have any deal in place, she just announced it immediately. 539 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 2: As we all expected, Sky did not hold back in 540 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 2: the labor vog. It did go for thirty three minutes, 541 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 2: and you really felt like a fly on the wall 542 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 2: as she was going through her first contractions. She also 543 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 2: showed herself driving to the hospital and puffing back on morphine, 544 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 2: saying she felt like she was off her face. Yeah, 545 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 2: and we also saw the first moment that Forest was 546 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 2: put on her chest for the first time. Her pregnancy 547 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 2: was a couple of months before Sarah's day, so I 548 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 2: feel like it was really that time when there was 549 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 2: so much anticipation of these influencer kids, and it was 550 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 2: the first time a lot of us were seeing these 551 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,959 Speaker 2: labor vlogs in full swing. What do we think of 552 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 2: the name? 553 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: I wasn't a fan of the name. 554 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 2: I say that in knowing our best friend's dog is 555 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 2: actually called Forest, I feel like it's more of an 556 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 2: animal's name. Yeah, it's a nice name for a dog. 557 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 2: I just think of Forest Gump. Yeah, I mean, I 558 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 2: do think it suits him. Now, these names always grow 559 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 2: on me. It's sort of like Sarah's Day's child Fox. 560 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,479 Speaker 2: I mean, now, I couldn't think of him being anything 561 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 2: else but not my personal cup of tea. Well, that 562 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 2: is where we are going to leave you today. In 563 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 2: next week's episode, we will dive headfirst into sky Wheatley's 564 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 2: biggest controversies, promaccusations of racism and cultural appropriation to the 565 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 2: shaming of domestic violence victims. This episode was recorded on 566 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 2: the traditional land of the Ghana people of the Adelaide Plains. 567 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,479 Speaker 1: We pay respect to elders past and present, and 568 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 2: If you have enjoyed today's show, could you please make 569 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 2: sure that you share about it or tell a friend 570 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:28,959 Speaker 2: to join up to Outspoken Plus.
