Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the
Speaker 1: hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm
Speaker 1: Kate Torbert and coming up on today's show, Ruby Tuesday,
Speaker 1: Matthews defends her decision to bleach her nine year old's hair,
Speaker 1: Ashley Day's goodie bag drama, and a Taylor Swift and
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey in their Loser era. But first, I need
Speaker 1: to have a rant about a TikTok trend. You may
Speaker 1: have seen it. It's the I Met my youngest self
Speaker 1: for a coffee trend and it was actually sparked by
Speaker 1: a beautiful poem by Jenna Cecilia in her soon to
Speaker 1: be a released book, Deep in My Fields. But it
Speaker 1: just feels like it's been co opted by influencers to
Speaker 1: brag about how great they are. I have never rolled
Speaker 1: my eyes so much at a trend, and it's just
Speaker 1: the same crowd doing it, Like I don't think I've
Speaker 1: seen any regular people doing it at all, Because it's, just,
Speaker 1: as you said, Kate, a platform to brag about how
Speaker 1: successful and great you are. Yeah, I feel like it
Speaker 1: would be an immediate un friend or unfollow if someone
Speaker 1: I personally knew. Can you be like how much of you?
Speaker 1: Like how obsessed with yourself are you to actually be
Speaker 1: involved in this trend? Have you seen how long some
Speaker 1: of them are as well? Like you've literally got a
Speaker 1: screen shot in order to pause the screen in order
Speaker 1: to actually read the thing. Do they really think people
Speaker 1: are reading the whole thing? Like I'll have a quick
Speaker 1: browse just to roll my eyes and be like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: why do they think it's so deep? Whether they're late
Speaker 1: or on time? Like I just don't understand it, Like
Speaker 1: I mean, if I was writing about myself, I would
Speaker 1: be late both times. Yeah, it's like, we get it.
Speaker 1: You're successful and rich, Like you don't have to like
Speaker 1: plaster it all over in saying that what drinks would
Speaker 1: you guys have ordered at sixteen compared to me just
Speaker 1: saying how self indulgent and boring it is? Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: asking it. Oh, I probably would have ordered a hot
Speaker 1: chocolate because I wasn't a coffee drinker. I can't even
Speaker 1: recall going to a coffee shop by myself or with
Speaker 1: a friend when I was sixteen. I feel like the
Speaker 1: only time you'd go out to some restaurant is if
Speaker 1: your parents took you, and it'd be one of those
Speaker 1: fast food chains, but they'd order you a jug of
Speaker 1: soft drink to share and get like a thimble that
Speaker 1: one nine ninety What was that? Cafe Primo? Yeah, my
Speaker 1: old boss is best friends with the Cafe Primo girl.
Speaker 1: I think this will only be an essay reference. And
Speaker 1: literally everywhere she goes, everyone's like nine ninety and you'd
Speaker 1: get the free pancake after the meal. Oh they were elite.
Speaker 1: They were actually so I could go one of those.
Speaker 1: Now I shouldn't record whilst we're hungry, So welcome to
Speaker 1: our afternoon, but don't save our songs. Ruby Tuesday Matthews
Speaker 1: has defended her decision to bleach her nine year old
Speaker 1: son Rocket's hair. The Influenza received backclash after unveiling her
Speaker 1: son's new hairstyle, Kate, can you tell us more? Well?
Speaker 1: She has tackled the criticism head on. Ruby shared a
Speaker 1: photo of Rocket to her Instagram feed and wrote a
Speaker 1: few concerned messages say he's too young for this. I
Speaker 1: personally think he's too young to own an iPad or phone.
Speaker 1: But hey, my family's a little different from yours. I'd
Speaker 1: rather my kids express themselves creatively and feel safe asking
Speaker 1: me to help them to do it. Hair is just hair.
Speaker 1: It grows, it changes, and for some is part of
Speaker 1: who they are. Bold cuts, bright colors, or nothing at all,
Speaker 1: It's all good. Ruby finished up by saying, really, though,
Speaker 1: my main concern is that my mum slash Nanna is
Speaker 1: one hundred percent going to kill me. Ruby's post attracted
Speaker 1: over two hundred comments, with the majority agreeing with her sentiments.
Speaker 1: OG influencer Kurk Coleman wrote, my mum dyed my hair
Speaker 1: blonde since I was two years old. He's definitely not
Speaker 1: too young as someone who has been bleaching their hair
Speaker 1: since they were thirteen. Though I have a bit of
Speaker 1: regret over it. It's not great for your hair, and
Speaker 1: especially if you're doing it at age nine. It reminds
Speaker 1: me a bit of Draco Malfoy when will Tom Felton
Speaker 1: he was on Harry Potter and he destroyed his hair
Speaker 1: from all of the bleak. Yeah. Well, I was having
Speaker 1: a look into it from a safety perspective because I'm like,
Speaker 1: surely it's not good. And dermatologists do advise against dyeing
Speaker 1: kid's hair until after puberty because apparently children's hair is
Speaker 1: a lot finer than adults, and it's very susceptible to damage,
Speaker 1: and it's also more likely to cause reactions. Do you
Speaker 1: guys think the reaction online would have been different if
Speaker 1: it was Ruby dyeing her daughter's hair one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: I think people would have thought that she was trying
Speaker 1: to make her daughter grow up too quickly, and maybe
Speaker 1: it was sexualizing her by changing her hair color. Well
Speaker 1: in saying that, there were a couple of comments on
Speaker 1: the photo saying that they didn't agree with Ruby sharing
Speaker 1: a picture of Rocket without his top on. I remember
Speaker 1: when we were at primary school there was a boy
Speaker 1: in our year who would use his mum's lightning shampoo.
Speaker 1: Wasn't that a boy that you had a little crush on?
Speaker 1: I mean, like the blonde streaks. Well, that was the
Speaker 1: look though. All the boys would have blonde tips and
Speaker 1: it was pretty cool. Yeah, that was the era of
Speaker 1: Aaron Carter in the Backstreet Boys, where blonde tips were
Speaker 1: in Talking about school, a lot of schools have rules
Speaker 1: around kid's hair, so I was thinking, oh, I wonder
Speaker 1: if Rocket is allowed to have bleached hair at his school.
Speaker 1: Because there's always seems to be some story making the
Speaker 1: headlines about a kid getting kicked out of a private
Speaker 1: school because his hair is too long or the wrong color.
Speaker 1: Do you guys think nine is too young to dye
Speaker 1: a kid's hair. I can't say I'd be dying my
Speaker 1: kid's hair at nine. I mean, financially, it's very expensive.
Speaker 1: He's going to have some terrible regrowth hing just on
Speaker 1: a superficial level. But I it's up to the individual parent. Personally,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it, yeah, I mean my first reaction
Speaker 1: was no, I wouldn't And I had to stop and
Speaker 1: think about why, because Ruby's comments made me really think, like,
Speaker 1: it's just hair, what's the big deal about it? And
Speaker 1: I think it's because we grew up in quite a
Speaker 1: conservative household, and there's no way my parents would ever
Speaker 1: have let us die out. I think a lot of
Speaker 1: schools as well though when we were growing up, they
Speaker 1: wouldn't allow anyone to come to school with bleach blonde hair.
Speaker 1: It just made me think of the kids at Rocket
Speaker 1: School who aren't allowed to dye their hair. And I
Speaker 1: was thinking, this kid must come in and have a
Speaker 1: pretty cool vibe about him. His name is Rocket. I mean,
Speaker 1: look at the photo as well and they're probably like, oh,
Speaker 1: mom and dad, Like, there's probably so much pressure on
Speaker 1: the kids in his class's parents. Now, I wonder if
Speaker 1: Ruby's been open about helping him dye his hair, because
Speaker 1: as kids get older, they become more defined, and he
Speaker 1: would probably at twelve just go and do it himself,
Speaker 1: and probably the results would be desired. I think a
Speaker 1: bleach blonde hair is better than a dirty, great big mullet.
Speaker 1: I can't stand when I see kids with mullets. Also,
Speaker 1: Ruby makes such a good point people are getting their
Speaker 1: nickers in a not about her son dying his hair.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I've really been looking into screen time
Speaker 1: for kids, and it's very true, like we give kids
Speaker 1: iPads and mobile phones at such a young age, but
Speaker 1: no one's worried about that. Yeah, it's not the first
Speaker 1: time that Ruby has face backlash over her kid's hair.
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, she was criticized for shaving
Speaker 1: her newborn daughter's head, so in December twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: she casually dropped that she'd shaved her four month old
Speaker 1: daughter Holiday's head and she forgot that they're Santa photos
Speaker 1: were the next day. She then returned to social media
Speaker 1: saying that everyone was losing it over the fact that
Speaker 1: she'd shaved her head, and she went on to explain
Speaker 1: that she'd actually shaved all of her kids' heads at
Speaker 1: around the four month mark. She said, my kids were
Speaker 1: born with dark hair that slowly falls out and ends
Speaker 1: up looking crazy patchy, and the new hair holds off growing.
Speaker 1: I find shaving it makes it grow faster, thicker, and
Speaker 1: so much more. Even Okay, is this giving you the
Speaker 1: inspo to go and shaved. I must say, he already
Speaker 1: looks like he's got a bit of a fade because
Speaker 1: his hair. It's actually such beautiful hair. Yeah. I mean
Speaker 1: I kind of have missed the point because he's eight
Speaker 1: months old now, but it did. I actually saw this
Speaker 1: on TikTok, and it did cross my mind because we
Speaker 1: have always grown up with very thin hair. I'm actually
Speaker 1: quite envious that mum didn't shave our heads when we
Speaker 1: were four months old. But Ruby isn't the only person
Speaker 1: to shave her baby's head. It's actually a tradition and
Speaker 1: a lot of cultures and religion, and Ruby's auntie, who
Speaker 1: was Indonesian, was the one who told her about the
Speaker 1: practice in the first place. I saw on TikTok the
Speaker 1: other day that there was an Adelaide mum who was
Speaker 1: fake tanning her son. Oh that I don't agree with. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were toddlers. Actually looked pretty good like it looked
Speaker 1: very natural. But she has gone off on TikTok. She
Speaker 1: gained so many followers over sharing that she did this
Speaker 1: to a story that is absolutely fucked. Is it kind
Speaker 1: of intuitive though that Ruby made all this effort to
Speaker 1: shave her kid's head so that their hair was thick
Speaker 1: and now she's letting her son blench the fuck out
Speaker 1: of his hair lane. And we are here at Loose
Speaker 1: Studios in Brisbane, well my third master class of the
Speaker 1: Master Class Tour, which is absolutely insane. We have just
Speaker 1: finished setting up all of the goodie bags. Lisaes here
Speaker 1: with her energy drink because it's essential beauty. TikToker Ashley
Speaker 1: Day put her fans on notice this week following her
Speaker 1: makeup masterclass in Brisbane. The makeup artist was forced to
Speaker 1: set an ultimatum with her class attendees after goodie bags
Speaker 1: went missing. Now, before we get into the lost goodie bags,
Speaker 1: for those not familiar with her, Kate who is Ashley Day?
Speaker 1: So Ashley is an Australian makeup artist with one point
Speaker 1: one million followers on TikTok, and she started out sharing
Speaker 1: very honest beauty product reviews during the twenty twenty one Lockdown,
Speaker 1: and her authenticity and relatability was a big part of
Speaker 1: why she got so successful so quickly, and at the
Speaker 1: end of last year she was crowned the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four Australian TikTok Beauty Creator of the Year. So Ashley
Speaker 1: is currently in the middle of a makeup Masterclass tour
Speaker 1: around Australia, which felt like a real throwback to that
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen era when Michael fesh it So. Tickets to
Speaker 1: the master class were originally a whopping three hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty dollars, but Ashley ended up reducing the cost to
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety nine dollars to make it more
Speaker 1: accessible to her followers. When Michael Finch's like seven hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty or something astronomical because I think you've got
Speaker 1: to meet and greet and you've got a goodie bag.
Speaker 1: I mean, in this cost of living crisis, three hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars for an event like that seems quite expensive.
Speaker 1: We can see why she reduced the price. Well, one
Speaker 1: of the big selling points of this class was the
Speaker 1: fact that each attendee got a goodie bag valued at
Speaker 1: six hundred and thirty seven dollars. And these goodie bags
Speaker 1: are so good that people have been sharing hauls of
Speaker 1: them on TikTok, so they were clearly a hot item.
Speaker 1: What's in them? Oh so much good stuff like high
Speaker 1: end makeup and different makeup brushes. Now, following the master
Speaker 1: class in Brisbane over the weekend, Ashley took to her
Speaker 1: Instagram story to reveal that some attendees took more than
Speaker 1: one goodie bag. So this meant that people in the
Speaker 1: class the next day were set to miss out. Now
Speaker 1: not only did Ashley have footage of the people taking
Speaker 1: the bags, but she also knew their name. How embarrassing. Yeah, so,
Speaker 1: Ashley said if she didn't receive the bags back by
Speaker 1: nine am the next day, she would personally message the people.
Speaker 1: Now the threat worked because the bags were returned alongside
Speaker 1: flowers and a bottle of wine. I can't stand people
Speaker 1: in situations like that who just get greedy, Like you've
Speaker 1: got one bag, which sounds like it was a pretty
Speaker 1: decent deal, Like how selfish, can you get I am
Speaker 1: a little bit surprised. Not to blame Ashley, but I
Speaker 1: was surprised that they didn't have a few back up
Speaker 1: bags in case something like this happened. But also what
Speaker 1: so were the bags displayed on the seats and people
Speaker 1: just system Well apparently there were four people that didn't
Speaker 1: come to the class and as she was going to
Speaker 1: mail them their bagh. Okay, that makes a little bit
Speaker 1: more sense. Maybe they thought the bags were going to waste,
Speaker 1: so they're just oh, I'll take one for the team. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like the fact that these people returned to
Speaker 1: the bags with bottles of wine and flowers. They probably
Speaker 1: weren't dirt bags just stealing them. They probably thought, you
Speaker 1: know what, no one's taking these, let's bring along. I
Speaker 1: feel a bit bad because imagine if they were name
Speaker 1: and shamed online. Nah. The thing is Ashley did mention
Speaker 1: that there was a lot of sneakiness involved and they
Speaker 1: were overheard sort of colluding about taking extra things. Well
Speaker 1: that's a sign to everybody. Just remember you were always
Speaker 1: being filmed. Yeah. Well, at first I was like, why
Speaker 1: don't you just name and shame them rather than personally
Speaker 1: messaging them? I suppose because of the docks in law.
Speaker 1: Also clearly because these people are customers of hers, they've
Speaker 1: purchased an expensive ticket, come to a show. To be fair,
Speaker 1: who hasn't been in a situation where there's some free
Speaker 1: bees and you might be a bit cheeky and be like,
Speaker 1: oh well, if there's extra result, just pop in more.
Speaker 1: Act like animals when anything's were free, Like even if
Speaker 1: you don't want the thing, like I have it, I'll
Speaker 1: I'll have fifty. Yeah. When I used to work at
Speaker 1: the netball team of Thunderbirds, I remember they had like
Speaker 1: mister fruit Chock there and he had half mister fruit
Speaker 1: chop and he had little bags of fruit chocks and
Speaker 1: the way they throw them into the crowd and they
Speaker 1: just get swarmed off. It's a chocolate But it's even
Speaker 1: like you know, when you work at an office and
Speaker 1: they'd have a huge room full of pens and papers
Speaker 1: and high lives and stuff, You'd always more than you
Speaker 1: necessarily needed because there was something about this. This is
Speaker 1: free rewinding to mister fruit chalk. I want to know
Speaker 1: from our interstate listeners, have you had fruit choks before
Speaker 1: and do you rate them? Because it's quite contentious whether
Speaker 1: people enjoy them or not. It's a South Australian chocolate.
Speaker 1: I love fruit Choks. I also love Haig's chocolate as well.
Speaker 1: The freckles are amazing. Oh my god. I associate fruit
Speaker 1: Chalks with Fridays because it used to be this radio
Speaker 1: collaboration where they'd always promote them. They are one of
Speaker 1: my go to chocolates. They are insane. So for you're
Speaker 1: just getting me really excited for Easter. It's not that
Speaker 1: far away. It's funny how no one celebrates it as
Speaker 1: early as Christmas. So I did the worst thing last Easter.
Speaker 1: I went on a chocolate ban and that was for
Speaker 1: four weeks over Easter because I was going to my
Speaker 1: sister in law's wedding and my skin broke out so
Speaker 1: badly after my own wedding from stress that I was like,
Speaker 1: it must be the chocolate I'm consuming and the sugar.
Speaker 1: It did nothing. There are some really cute Easter items
Speaker 1: out at the moment. I think it Best and Less.
Speaker 1: They've got all these real cool hot cross bun like
Speaker 1: kids Play. I've seen everyone on TikTok going nuts about
Speaker 1: Best and Less, saying that there were new women's range
Speaker 1: is incredible. Oh really, well, the kids range looks so cute,
Speaker 1: all of the Easter stuff. They've also got really good
Speaker 1: plate sets. And anyway, I've got to go into there
Speaker 1: because I'm going to be celebrating Easter in a big
Speaker 1: way because my baby's jew around then, and I don't know.
Speaker 1: Something about it makes it feel even more special this year. Also,
Speaker 1: I think because it's been so hot, I'm sort of
Speaker 1: craving that autumn weather, and I feel like Easter is
Speaker 1: the best time to get cozy and have your hot
Speaker 1: Cross buns. It sounds very Yeah, the whole crowd booing
Speaker 1: is a pretty formative experience. This year's Super Bowl brought
Speaker 1: very different scenes for Taylor Swift. Last year, red and
Speaker 1: gold confetti fell around her as she locked lips with
Speaker 1: the love of her life, Travis Kelcey after he won
Speaker 1: his second straight Super Bowl. Fast forward to this year,
Speaker 1: and the singer was aggressively booed by the crowd and
Speaker 1: heckled by President Donald try as the Kansas City Chief
Speaker 1: suffered a demoralizing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Now, so
Speaker 1: I vie Swifties didn't see this coming. No, these definitely
Speaker 1: weren't the scenes that they were anticipating. If anything, there
Speaker 1: was a lot of hope that there might be an
Speaker 1: on field proposal after the game. God, that was never
Speaker 1: going to happen, and I would actually feel sorry for
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift if that happened. Well, that's the thing. Travis
Speaker 1: Kelsey didn't water down these rumors. He was asked by
Speaker 1: a reporter if he was going to propose during the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and he smiled at the camera and said,
Speaker 1: wouldn't you like to know? So he definitely didn't put
Speaker 1: these rumors to bed. But it's insulting if he's like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not because that creates a headline. I felt sorry
Speaker 1: for him at all those press conferences because the majority
Speaker 1: of questions were just about Taylor Swift and you could
Speaker 1: tell that he was trying to be polite, but it
Speaker 1: was grating on Hill. She sparked a lot of speculation
Speaker 1: when she ended up arriving at the game wearing white
Speaker 1: a white single. Well, she wore a white singler and
Speaker 1: a white jacket, and everyone's like, oh my god, she
Speaker 1: knows it's happening. Oh I'm sorry. If she knew that
Speaker 1: was happening, she wouldn't have gone so casual this year.
Speaker 1: That is crazy. And also imagine if that he did
Speaker 1: do that, all of the Kansas City fans would have
Speaker 1: been so pissed off because this is about the team's win,
Speaker 1: it's not about Hiven her. I don't think she'd want
Speaker 1: a public proposal either. She lived so much of her
Speaker 1: life publicly, just it wouldn't seem right. Fans are just
Speaker 1: wanting that moment like on Cinderella Story when Hillary Duff
Speaker 1: and Chad Michael Murray united at the end of the game,
Speaker 1: and it's raining like, yeah, we already had that last
Speaker 1: year with them hugging people need to stop being so greedy. Well,
Speaker 1: I think this intense fascination with the proposal, and also
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift yet again being a talking point in the
Speaker 1: lead up to the Super Bowl seemed to anger a
Speaker 1: large section of male fans. I know, even my partner,
Speaker 1: he was so funny in the lead up being like,
Speaker 1: I'm so sick of it being all about her and
Speaker 1: the brads and chads as they saw it, and they
Speaker 1: weren't happy because last year she appeared on the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl broadcast twelve times, so it was for a total
Speaker 1: of fifty four seconds. Not much. Yeah, I mean, the
Speaker 1: game goes for about three and a half hours. They forget,
Speaker 1: they forged getting all of the fans that they're attracted
Speaker 1: by her being on the screen for fifty four secs
Speaker 1: and she doesn't choose how long she's filmed for. I mean,
Speaker 1: the brides and chads need to shut the fuck up,
Speaker 1: because she has done a lot for NFL. It's being
Speaker 1: reported that she's brought in over one billion dollars of
Speaker 1: revenue for them. And the thing is, the broadcaster seemed
Speaker 1: to have taken a lot of these complaints seriously, as
Speaker 1: in the lead up over the past years, she really
Speaker 1: hasn't been as heavily featured during Chiefs games. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you could tell even what Taylor was wearing that she
Speaker 1: had tried to sort of pair it back and not
Speaker 1: make it so much about her and her outfit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because she essentially wore I mean brand names aside. She
Speaker 1: wore a white singlet and some glittery denim shorts. I
Speaker 1: saw on TikTok there were some wags who were bagging
Speaker 1: her out, saying that she did them all the disservice
Speaker 1: by dressing in such a casual manner. She's like, they're like,
Speaker 1: this is the super Bowl, this is your time to shine.
Speaker 1: But she's trying not to be relatable still to her audience.
Speaker 1: And a lot of people say that Taylor Swift has
Speaker 1: bad fashion taste, but that's why everyone likes because even
Speaker 1: I thought she looked cool. Yeah, I thought she looked
Speaker 1: cool as well. Talking about bad fashion taste, what the
Speaker 1: hell was Travis Kelsey wearing? I nearly died because I
Speaker 1: clicked on the Outspoken Instagram story on Monday night and
Speaker 1: I saw that Sophie had uploaded some video of Travis
Speaker 1: Kelce walking into the super Bowl in what looked like
Speaker 1: a suit from Anchorman. It was this Morone suit. It
Speaker 1: was brown and it was the brown Brownie Moron. I
Speaker 1: thought it was brown. It was like chocolate brown or whatever,
Speaker 1: not the greatest color. Looked very seventies and so if
Speaker 1: it put like some sighing emojis as if he looked
Speaker 1: like I didn't put any emojis, well sorry, I thought
Speaker 1: you had put them on, And I was like, what
Speaker 1: the hell? Okay, I must have been in a week moment.
Speaker 1: I thought he looked quite hot. Are you serious? I
Speaker 1: actually liked I have a soft spot for Travis Kelsey
Speaker 1: and I like that he's into fashion. See I am
Speaker 1: all for Travis and Taylor, but he looked like an
Speaker 1: absolute flog. Maybe because he had the glittery shirt underneath
Speaker 1: it was sort of matching with her glittery shorts. It
Speaker 1: was quite cute. The worst part was when he lost
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, he had to get back into the
Speaker 1: outfit and he looked so deflated looking around. It's quite
Speaker 1: interesting because even though Taylor Swift has brought in so
Speaker 1: much revenue and attention for the NFL, the broadcaster said
Speaker 1: that they would not have a dedicated camera on her
Speaker 1: this time around, and they'd only cut to her when
Speaker 1: they felt like it was fitting. So basically, she was
Speaker 1: only going to be shown if Travis did something remarkable
Speaker 1: during the game, which I didn't have boo. Well, yes,
Speaker 1: unfortunately for him, it was not his day. So it
Speaker 1: makes sense as to why she got a lot less
Speaker 1: airtime as there wasn't really much for her to react too. Well. Ironically,
Speaker 1: the only time Taylor was shown it was during a
Speaker 1: break in the first quarter and she was booed by
Speaker 1: the crowd and this has made headlines everywhere, and you
Speaker 1: could tell that the boo came from a largely male
Speaker 1: section of the crowded seemed to take a lot of
Speaker 1: delight in heckling her. I felt so sorry for Taylor
Speaker 1: because she looked so confused. So in the vision, she
Speaker 1: was sitting alongside Wrapper I Spice, and as the booze
Speaker 1: flooded in, she was looking around really bewildered. When she
Speaker 1: gave her side eye, it was that perfect you know,
Speaker 1: that meme of that monkey giving yes everyone keeps saying,
Speaker 1: and you could read her lips. She said, what is
Speaker 1: going on? She was absolutely shocked, and it would be
Speaker 1: really weird for her to be booed because you know,
Speaker 1: she's just finished up the eras to it where she
Speaker 1: is absolutely cheered. Neveryone loves her, you know, when she
Speaker 1: does that thing in the crowd and the eras to
Speaker 1: it she points, it's like whoa Well. A lot of
Speaker 1: the mainstream media tried to play it off and say
Speaker 1: that it was an angry response from Philadelphia fans, because ironically,
Speaker 1: Taylor used to support Philadelphia before dating Travis. Another theory
Speaker 1: was that the booze came from some Chiefs fans who
Speaker 1: weren't impressed by the fact that she and Travis went
Speaker 1: out on what they were calling a pre Super Bowl date.
Speaker 1: So they were spotted out for dinner on Friday night
Speaker 1: ahead of the Sunday game, and it's usually common for
Speaker 1: players to stay in their hotel rooms thirty eight hours
Speaker 1: before the Super Bowl. They were with Patrick Mahomes and
Speaker 1: his wife. They were out on a double date. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: I think everyone was sort of blaming Taylor that it's
Speaker 1: her influence on him always, like these men have to eat.
Speaker 1: So when I worked at the thirty six's, we got
Speaker 1: into the Grand Final series, and I traveled with the
Speaker 1: team and we all went out before the Grand Final
Speaker 1: like it was just a normal thing. Plays not in
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, which is worth millions and millions. Wasn't
Speaker 1: even the night before, it was the Friday night they've
Speaker 1: had their team meal. But this is the thing. These
Speaker 1: are all bullshit excuses as to why she got booed,
Speaker 1: because it was clear that it was Philadelphia fans. It
Speaker 1: wasn't Chiefs fans who were booing her. And I think
Speaker 1: that the booing says something greater about the misogyny that
Speaker 1: has been on display in America ever since Donald Trump
Speaker 1: was elected. Because ironically, an hour before Taylor was booed.
Speaker 1: The crowd roared and cheered in support of Donald Trump
Speaker 1: when he was shown on the same screen standing in
Speaker 1: salute during the national anth That just says a lot
Speaker 1: about the crowd that were there, very right wing crowd. Well,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump took great delight in Taylor getting booed, so
Speaker 1: he wrote on his own social media platform, which is
Speaker 1: called truth Social, the only one that had a tougher
Speaker 1: night with the Kansas City Chiefs is Taylor Swift. She
Speaker 1: got booed out of the state. MAGA is very unforgiving.
Speaker 1: He also retweeted a post on x which read Trump
Speaker 1: gets massive cheers at the super Bowl while Taylor Swift
Speaker 1: gets booed. The world is healing. Well. He clearly hasn't
Speaker 1: got over the fact that Taylor endorsed Kamala Harris last year. Well,
Speaker 1: remember he wrote on his own social media platform that
Speaker 1: he hated Taylor Swift after that. This would have been
Speaker 1: really scary for Taylor Swift because after the game there
Speaker 1: were a mob of Eagles fans who were seen burning
Speaker 1: Chiefs jerseys and also aggressively chanting fuck Taylor Swift. People
Speaker 1: are just awful. This makes me so mad, and I
Speaker 1: think people are analyzing this way too much because now
Speaker 1: people are saying that Travis and Taylor are in their
Speaker 1: loser era. So a Clipper's gone viral of TikToker Ali
Speaker 1: Kin saying that Travis and Taylor are about to enter
Speaker 1: this new phase of their relationship because they've only ever
Speaker 1: been with each other when they've been winning. So last year,
Speaker 1: Taylor won Album of the Year at the Grammys and
Speaker 1: Travis won obviously the super Bowl. And this year Taylor
Speaker 1: lost out Album of the Year to Beyonce and Travis's
Speaker 1: Long at the super Bowl. So now they're apparently going
Speaker 1: to be steeing these very different sides of themselves as losers.
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of clips saying, oh god, they
Speaker 1: really feel for Taylor Swift because she is going to
Speaker 1: have to be working in overtime to commiserate Travis Kelsey
Speaker 1: because you know how like what babies, men are when
Speaker 1: they lose any sort of sporting games. Yeah, I definitely
Speaker 1: think that people act differently when they lose, But I
Speaker 1: wouldn't ever call coming second in the NFL a loser,
Speaker 1: And yeah, Taylor's it's just a clever term to use
Speaker 1: because they do have a point, like their relationship has
Speaker 1: always been at this pinnacle where things are going great
Speaker 1: for them and suddenly when things aren't going so well
Speaker 1: and you're having to put up with someone's being MOPI
Speaker 1: over losing a game like it does cause some tension.
Speaker 1: The other thing that's going to be different is that
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift isn't going to be on the road anymore
Speaker 1: for the Ears to it, so they'll be spending a
Speaker 1: lot more time together. So I think it will be
Speaker 1: very interesting to see how their relationship plays out over
Speaker 1: the next year. Yeah, but that's looking at their relationship
Speaker 1: from a very superficial level. I'm sure they've had a
Speaker 1: lot of personal ups and downs during the time that
Speaker 1: they've been together. Also, Taylor Swift has had to deal
Speaker 1: with a lot being on the Ears tour. I mean
Speaker 1: she had that terrorist threat. I mean that's clearly something
Speaker 1: that would have been very difficult to deal I don't
Speaker 1: think anyone's saying that they haven't been through anything difficult.
Speaker 1: It is just interesting to analyze it. At the moment,
Speaker 1: both of them didn't have these huge wins that everyone
Speaker 1: expected them to have, and they're both going to have
Speaker 1: to be there to support one another in those difficult times,
Speaker 1: so stupid, it's just going to make their relationship even stronger. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they can both relate over apparently being losers. I mean,
Speaker 1: I hardly would consider either of them losing. If they're losers,
Speaker 1: what are we like? You know what I mean? Fuck now,
Speaker 1: let's get into our Friday debrief and I need to
Speaker 1: talk to you guys about Married at First Sight because
Speaker 1: I am hooked this year and I'm so disappointed that
Speaker 1: you guys haven't been watching. I feel like this season
Speaker 1: is so good that I'm almost tempted to go and
Speaker 1: watch on catch up because I'm saying it everywhere on TikTok.
Speaker 1: It sounds like it's one of the best seasons. They've had.
Speaker 1: Such an effort though, to get through the weddings. I've
Speaker 1: always each year, like the last couple of years, i
Speaker 1: haven't watched it because I've tried, and then I'm finally
Speaker 1: at the end of all the weddings, and then they
Speaker 1: add more bonus wedding and people. This year, they did
Speaker 1: a really good job of getting through the weddings a
Speaker 1: lot quicker. They showed a lot more of the honeymoon content,
Speaker 1: so I think it's worth the effort. Even just a
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon, just sit down. You can fast forward some
Speaker 1: of the bits. But I have to have a rant
Speaker 1: about the men on this year's series because everyone is
Speaker 1: just in shock at how disrespectful a lot of these
Speaker 1: men have been to the brides. There was a scandal
Speaker 1: last week about basically the contestants had to rate their
Speaker 1: partners from least attractive to most attractive. A good idea. Well,
Speaker 1: it reminded me of a conversation we had recently, Sophie,
Speaker 1: because you were asking one of our friends if you've
Speaker 1: ever played that game with a partner where you talk
Speaker 1: about their friends, And I was like, who would ever
Speaker 1: play that? You've played that with Brandon? She said she had. Well,
Speaker 1: I've tried to get him to answer, but he's not
Speaker 1: really forthcoming. Here just says, oh you, But that's just
Speaker 1: an argument waiting to happen. Maybe I should bring that
Speaker 1: in on that. Basically, the challenge of them having to
Speaker 1: rank their partners is just an excuse for them all
Speaker 1: to have a big argument. Some of the men were
Speaker 1: so stupid, like they ranked their partners not as the
Speaker 1: number one person. Some of them took it so literally,
Speaker 1: like this guy Ryan he's the warrior in the series. Oh,
Speaker 1: he's a self proclaimed warrior. I don't even really know
Speaker 1: what that means. Is he inter martial arts or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just a whole load of wank. But basically, he
Speaker 1: took this task so seriously and was looking at the
Speaker 1: bone structure of all of the women and really analyzing
Speaker 1: which one he found the most attractive. I mean, the
Speaker 1: challenge is meant to be that you have the respect
Speaker 1: for your partner that you put them number one. Why
Speaker 1: do they just lie? Like did they actually think that
Speaker 1: they are under a light detective tests? And they've got
Speaker 1: aswer so literally, well, this week got even better because
Speaker 1: it's been intimacy week and some of the stuff they
Speaker 1: thought was appropriate to show at that eight pm time.
Speaker 1: So I've seen so many people on TikTok saying as
Speaker 1: adults they had to leave the room because it was
Speaker 1: too awkward to watch with their parents. Well, they had
Speaker 1: a lot of the girls went out lingerie shopping because
Speaker 1: the idea was that they had a fantasy night with
Speaker 1: their partner. It was their ideal date, and so a
Speaker 1: lot of them went to get lauringerie. So there were
Speaker 1: scenes of for example, one of the couples. One of
Speaker 1: the girls. She was dressed in this really revealing lingerie set.
Speaker 1: As you see that, people are going to pick you
Speaker 1: up for saying launderie. Okay, well whatever, I hate myself
Speaker 1: the way I say it. Well whatever, I'm sorry. I'm
Speaker 1: from Adelaide. We have a different accent. But I don't
Speaker 1: even think you can blame that as an a I
Speaker 1: think that's just an us. Then. Well, anyway, she was
Speaker 1: licking the teller off her husband's nipples and that was shown. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there was just a lot of racy stuff. And on
Speaker 1: the most recent episode, this guy Ryan the Warrior. He
Speaker 1: decided to tell all of the grooms about his fantasy
Speaker 1: night and he proceeded to describe his wife as having
Speaker 1: crazy eyes. And this is off the back of another
Speaker 1: one of the contestants labeling her as someone with crazy eyes.
Speaker 1: It was super offensive. And then he decided to tell
Speaker 1: everybody what great head jobs she gave. Can I just say,
Speaker 1: only person, sorry Sophie, to stick up for this woman
Speaker 1: was Alexandra the sex Expert. None of the men, they
Speaker 1: all stood there shocked, but none of them said, hey, mate,
Speaker 1: you can't actually say that about your wife. Look it's
Speaker 1: clearly disgusting, but I'm not surprised. It seems like every
Speaker 1: year there's something like this that goes viral for Channel
Speaker 1: nine and they just use it to get rating. It
Speaker 1: just gets trashy each year. What I kind of like, though,
Speaker 1: is the fact that the men seem to be in
Speaker 1: the spotlight for their bad behavior, because generally there's a
Speaker 1: focus on two women who are fighting and you have
Speaker 1: to pick sides. Yeah. Well, if anyone is watching Maths,
Speaker 1: I would highly recommend to go and follow Abby Chatfield's
Speaker 1: content on TikTok because she has been sharing goggle box
Speaker 1: like reviews of her and her boyfriend Adam Hyde watching it,
Speaker 1: and Adam's responses are hilarious. Well, I've got a bit
Speaker 1: of an update on my house Rhino's because that is
Speaker 1: how I've been spending all of my weekends so far.
Speaker 1: A lot of listeners were very invested in the prints
Speaker 1: that you were spoking about the other I'm still looking.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for everyone who sent in recommendations.
Speaker 1: I'm still on the hunt for some princes. I haven't
Speaker 1: found exactly what I wanted, but basically I'm so excited
Speaker 1: because this week we have locked in our kitchen renovations. Now,
Speaker 1: we are going through an Adelaide company where basically it's
Speaker 1: called Diy Kitchens, and you order the kitchens to arrive,
Speaker 1: so they come partly May. When you say the kitchens,
Speaker 1: give me in the cabinet. Try the cabinet tree. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And and this is not an ad. This is not
Speaker 1: an AD. We've paid full price for everything. But basically
Speaker 1: my mother and father in law and husband, they're going
Speaker 1: to be putting it like installing the kitchens, because it's
Speaker 1: the most cost effective way to do it. They're confident
Speaker 1: that they'll do it. But we've got a bit of
Speaker 1: a time restraint because I'm having my baby shower at
Speaker 1: the end of March and the cabinets all arrive mid March.
Speaker 1: We're also hoping to put all of our new floorboards
Speaker 1: in as well. Oh my god, and this on the
Speaker 1: weekend Mum kindly came over and helped me paint our room.
Speaker 1: We've got a bit of a feature all happening anyway.
Speaker 1: As people know, I've been sleeping on the floor for
Speaker 1: probably ten days now in my pregnant state, which has
Speaker 1: been absolute hell. But if you got a backup option
Speaker 1: for if all of this isn't ready for your baby shower.
Speaker 1: My mother in law was a bit concerned about it.
Speaker 1: She's like, should we try and push the baby shower out?
Speaker 1: But it's a really tough fun amy because you're giving
Speaker 1: birth like two weeks after my baby shower. I've got
Speaker 1: my sister in law where i'm baby watch at the moment.
Speaker 1: I want her to be able to come and for
Speaker 1: her to have had enough time in between having her
Speaker 1: baby and being able to get out and about. So
Speaker 1: there's a lot of restrictions in place, so I'm just hoping,
Speaker 1: let's it'll happen. Let's throw in a kitchen renovation to
Speaker 1: that stress. Why not? I mean it's actually kitchen and laundry,
Speaker 1: so it's it's gonna be hectic, so lots of uber.
Speaker 1: The thing is we need to be able to cook
Speaker 1: in the kitchen because I'm like, oh, I want to
Speaker 1: make food for the baby. Anyway I end up having
Speaker 1: this baby shower prom I M say, probably it might.
Speaker 1: I'm getting because I live five minutes away from Sophie,
Speaker 1: so I'm guessing maybe coming around for dinners or that
Speaker 1: would be nice if you're offering, We've got a local
Speaker 1: at the media shop that I think will be frequenting
Speaker 1: a bit. My debrief is a little bit different. It's
Speaker 1: just the fact that I'm loving Megan Markle's Instagram story.
Speaker 1: So she's been quite active on there because she's at
Speaker 1: the Invictus Games with Prince Harry. And it's really interesting
Speaker 1: because a lot of influencers have evolved obviously to talk
Speaker 1: to the camera and be really authentic and sharing what
Speaker 1: you're doing. However, she's just got someone filming her doing so, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's more of a royal vibe. Like it's
Speaker 1: not as if you see Kate Middleton, She's like, I'm
Speaker 1: here at this event and yeah, I think it's a
Speaker 1: tactic for her to not appear too much like an influencer,
Speaker 1: but she's still sharing about her life. Yeah, but I've
Speaker 1: been loving it because it's just very millennial of her.
Speaker 1: But don't you think as a whole people think it's
Speaker 1: a bit naff now to be talking on Instagram stories,
Speaker 1: Like I see a lot of even jen Z influencers
Speaker 1: talking less and less to the camera. Yes, that's the
Speaker 1: best way to engage with your audience. It is a
Speaker 1: good way, But I've noticed that the Instagram stories have changed,
Speaker 1: but Internet because they're more moving those conversations to TikTok
Speaker 1: because they stay on the platform. Whereas I think someone
Speaker 1: like Mega Markle she could still talk to her Instagram
Speaker 1: following because she's not going onto TikTok yet yet. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't think she could go on TikTok. I just
Speaker 1: think she has to stick to Like I think Instagram
Speaker 1: is a little bit nicer than TikTok for well, I
Speaker 1: think that's all we've got time for today. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much for listening to another episode of Outspoken. If
Speaker 1: you enjoy the podcast, it would really help us out
Speaker 1: if you could leave us a five star review because
Speaker 1: it really helps were Outspoken charts. This episode was recorded
Speaker 1: on the traditional land of the Ghana people of the
Speaker 1: Adelaide Planes. We pray respect to elders past and present.
