1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to Outspoken. You're dose of the hottest 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm Sophie 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: Torber and I'm joined by my sisters and journalist Kate 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: and Amy. On today's show, Tammy Hembro's baby name finally revealed, 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: TikTok's controversial new ratings game comes under fire, and one 6 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,159 Speaker 1: dad lifts the lid on the reality of living with 7 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: a mummy blogger. Now, firstly, Sophie, it has been four 8 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: days since Tammy Hembro announced the arrival of her daughter, 9 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: and everyone has been hanging out for her to drop 10 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: the baby name. I'm going to keep you in even 11 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: more suspense at the moment because I want to explain 12 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: why this name has been so hotly anticipated, because I 13 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: don't think there's been so much anticipation for an influencer 14 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 1: baby name in quite some time. So back in March, 15 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 1: Tammy found herself at the center of a baby name 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: controversy when media publications speculated that her former friend Kylie 17 00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: Jennett copied her son's name Wolf. So hours after the announcement, 18 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: Tammy shared a photo of herself and her son on 19 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: Instagram and captioned it my Wolf. This led Tammy to 20 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: joke with a follower on TikTok that she was going 21 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: to name her daughter's Stormy, which, as you know, is 22 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: Kylie Jenner's name Amy. So there's been so much anticipation 23 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: on an international front at what this baby is going 24 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: to be called now. Further speculation was fueled when Tammy 25 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: decided to add a letter P to her necklace, which 26 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: previously contained the letter W for her son Wolf and 27 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: S for her daughter Saskia. You know when they have 28 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: starter kits on Instagram, it's like a starter kit to 29 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: be a mummy blogger. I feel like these necklaces are 30 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: part of it because I know Sarah's day has one 31 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: and people were waiting for her to put the initial 32 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: of her son on it as well. I'm sitting here 33 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: with my Archie necklace for my son's name. I think 34 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: it's a good way to build anticipation though by adding 35 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: that letter, getting everyone talking about it. And I originally 36 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: had a theory that perhaps the P might have been 37 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: for Tammy's fionce Matt's last name, which is Paul. However, 38 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: the PE actually did hint to the baby's name, and 39 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: I feel like I've made everyone wait long enough. The 40 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: name is floral inspired. She has called her daughter Posey, 41 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: which I think is a really cute name. Look, it 42 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: wouldn't be the first on my list, but it does 43 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: kind of go with the other names that she's got 44 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: for her kids, like Saskia and Wolf. They're a bit 45 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: out there those names. I don't think Posey is really 46 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: that out there. I think it's kind of more of 47 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: a classic name. Posey. I've never ever heard of anyone 48 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: called post It's kind of a cute sea name, like 49 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: Rosie or Daisy or Posey. I mean, the thing where 50 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: I'm a little bit I have a bit of a 51 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: question mark is the double p Posey Paul. I do 52 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: really like the fact that when these baby name announcements 53 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: are coming that everyone goes into full super sleuth mode. 54 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what's happened in this instant because one 55 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: TikTok user by the name of Holly Murphy, she deciphered 56 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: Tammy's baby name hints, which she said were hidden in 57 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: plain sight, so she captured the video call me psychic 58 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: when it happens. So this video was shared before Tammy 59 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: announced the name of her daughter, and the TikToker says, 60 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: I'm telling you Tammy Hembro's baby name is Daisy or Posey. 61 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: She then presented the evidence, including the addition of flowers 62 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: and a flower symbol in photos of the baby. So 63 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: in one photo of Tammy holding the newborn, she's seen 64 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: wearing a daisy hair clip. Tammy also captioned and commented 65 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: on photos of the newborn with a flower emoji and 66 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: nothing else. So the TikToker even noticed that Tammy's nails 67 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: had tiny daisy flowers painted on them. So a lot 68 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: of people agreed with this tiktoker's theory, and they suggested 69 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: that maybe the baby would be called Petal, Poppy or Primrose. 70 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: She did do a great job. I have to take 71 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: my hat off to picking up that she had flowers 72 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: on her fingernails. Now Celeb's spellcheck was also on the money. 73 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: She predicted months ago that the baby's name was in 74 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: fact Posy. She did a hilarious breakdown on her Instagram 75 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: story once the name was announced, explaining that it was 76 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: in fact Kylie Jenner who helped her correctly guess Tammy's 77 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: baby name. She explained that the names Wolf and Saskia 78 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: are quite different styles from one another, So what else 79 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: do we know about Tammy's taste in names? She questioned. 80 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: Selepspelchick continued, saying that Tammy shares a similar taste to Kylie. 81 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: She then shared a screenshot showing that underneath Kylie's post 82 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: announcing the arrival of Stormy, Tammy wrote no joke, that 83 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: was the name we had chosen for our next bub 84 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: and did a crying face. Celepspelchick then continued writing, what 85 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: would Kylie Jenner name a baby girl other than Stormy? 86 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: What else do we know about her taste in names? 87 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: She then shared a screenshot of Kylie Jenna's long list 88 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: of dogs' names, which mainly included names ending in an 89 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,559 Speaker 1: eye or a y. She also said that the names 90 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: were very cutesy, including names like Bambie, Harley, Penny, or Rosie. 91 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: Selepspelchick then concluded that changing one letter to p would 92 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: then equal the name posy. Wow, this is genius. If 93 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: we didn't think that this woman was a complete genius before, 94 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: this is just confirmed in my mind. It was pretty 95 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: funny in the li last slide of this explainer, Celeb's 96 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: spelcheck then pondered the question what would Kylie think of 97 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: the name Posey, and then she revealed that Kylie likes 98 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: the name enough to have named one of her original 99 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: lip kit's Posey can. So this is this name an 100 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: ultimate burn towards Kylie for using the name. I don't. 101 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: I don't think so, because how many Kylie lip kits 102 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: are there out in the world. It's kind of like 103 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: mac lipstick names. There are so many out there. I 104 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: highly doubt it would come into Tammy's consciousness to go, Okay, 105 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: I'm just going to come up with the name to 106 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: piss Kylie general if she's not going to do that. 107 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: I really like where Celev's Belchick went with this though. 108 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: I like the inclusion of Kylie back in it. He 109 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: is a five, but he's green, a sense I don't 110 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: care five. He is a tan, but he wants to 111 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: propose to you on the worst that hayway h. 112 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 2: For for me. 113 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: Two young Collingwood footballers have put TikTok's controversial new ratings 114 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: game under the spot sophy, can you first explain how 115 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: does this game work? Yeah? Well, this ratings game has 116 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: quickly become at TikTok's most viral game and the hashtags 117 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: ratings games and rate men are rapidly gaining traction online, 118 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: with many of the videos gaining millions of views, and 119 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: as you probably can tell from one of the hashtags, 120 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: the game was originally created by women. So on June third, 121 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: TikTok user Avery Risotto unknowingly created the craze, which she 122 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: originally called the He's a Ten Game. The post now 123 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: has millions of views and hundreds of recreations. So the 124 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: game is played with a group of friends. One player 125 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: rates a hypothetical person out of ten and then pairs 126 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: the rating with a hyper specific and relatable qualifier. So 127 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: with this qualifier in mind, the player must assign a 128 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: new rating. And it's trying to prove that looks are 129 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: not the only thing that matters. So I'll give you 130 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: an example of how the game works. But if I 131 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: said to you, he's a nine but he shares trap photos, Yeah, 132 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: I know you hate them, like a five, Then okay, 133 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: I've got one for you, Sophie. Yeah he's a ten, 134 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: but he's got personalized number plates. I mean, I don't 135 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: mind them as much as you. I reckon, maybe take 136 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: him down one notch. Maybe he's a nine. Hour after 137 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: that see this game. It kind of seems pretty harmless 138 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: when we're playing a lot this because they're hypothetical people. Yeah, 139 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: it did really start out in good fun and it 140 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: seemed to be that women were trying to show that 141 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: being a ten in a woman's eyes isn't just how 142 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: you look, but it's also how you act. This game 143 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: reminds me a lot of the trend on TikTok about 144 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: people saying what their icks are, so I think it's 145 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: been really born out of that trend. So so for 146 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: this week, two AFL young guns, nineteen year old Jack 147 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: Jinniverer and twenty two year old eyes At Quina, who 148 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,119 Speaker 1: both played for Collingwood, were caught with their own take 149 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: of the viral video. So instead of keeping it lighthearted, 150 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: many people believe the boys went too far when they 151 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: said being homeless or having crooked teeth low with women's scores. 152 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: Let's have a listen to what they said exactly. 153 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 2: Two but she smiles really nice. Three, Oh, she's a. 154 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: Ten, but got some brock up teeth like them teeth 155 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: that go on every rich way like diagnom everything. 156 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: Oh. 157 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: Four, she's a nine and a half, but it's homeless. Two. 158 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: I'm off here when she's a four, but she's rich now. 159 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: Both Jack and Isaac have appeared on Instagram to apologize 160 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: for their actions and have pledged to continue to learn. 161 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: Isaac said, Hey, guys, just wanted to jump on here 162 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: and apologize for the TikTok video. We did a trend 163 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: that we did not think about before posting, and we're 164 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: really sorry for making the mistake, participating in it and 165 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: then posting it. We have since realized that it's just 166 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: not acceptable. It doesn't align with the values that both 167 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: of us hold. We'll keep learning about what we should 168 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: and shouldn't post. Jack continue by saying we are sorry 169 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: to everyone at the club across all platforms, members and 170 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: supporters for any impact cause. Thanks guys, and we are 171 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: so sorry again. Now the video in question has been deleted, 172 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: and the players also issued a formal apology, saying they 173 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: will undertake further education on the appropriate use of social 174 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: media now. This incident further embarrassed the club, as only 175 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: a few days prior, a controversial video showing Collingwood player 176 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: Jordan de Gooie parting with a young woman in Bali 177 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 1: and making sexual gestures appeared online. So in the video 178 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: posted by the woman's friend to social media, an unseen 179 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: figure is also seen attempting to pull a woman's top off. 180 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: So Jordan has since been handed a twenty five thousand 181 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 1: dollar fine by the club and has been suspended until 182 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 1: the end of the season. And it's believed that the 183 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: media came across this ratings video whilst trawling through social 184 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: media to see how other Collingwood players had spent their 185 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: time off in the wake of Jordan's scandal. So I 186 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: bet they were high fiving one another when they found this, 187 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: because it's been quite the talk of the town. This 188 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: cracks me up because I feel like I would have 189 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: probably had this job when I was at seven, because 190 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: they'd always give the youngest person the job of looking 191 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: through everybody's TikTok or TikTok didn't exist them, but everybody's 192 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: social media accounts, and bloody hell, finding this video it 193 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: would have been like finding gold at the end of 194 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: a rainbow for a young journalist. Now, regardless of how 195 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: the media came across this video, yeah, it's safe to 196 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: say this video shouldn't have been uploaded by the players 197 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 1: in the first place, and in my opinion, if they 198 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: had done this challenge in a respectful manner, by either 199 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: making it lighthearted and perhaps focusing on qualities that made 200 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: females in their eyes even more attractive, it would have 201 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: been a very different story. I think where the boys 202 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: really went wrong was focusing their ix or their qualifiers 203 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: on appearance or so social standing as opposed to things 204 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: that might have been funny. So I don't know. It 205 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: just makes me think, what do these guys say behind 206 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: closed doors if they're happy to put up that sort 207 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: of stuff online And sadly, everyday boys are also taking 208 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: this trend too far. So in videos which are attracting 209 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of views, we see high school boys 210 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: ranking girls lower numbers, either because they're tall, their sister 211 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 1: is hotter than them, they have light skin, or because 212 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: they're fake blondes. So I think it's really sad to 213 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: see that this game started out as a bit of fun, 214 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: quite lighthearted, but now there are certain people who were 215 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,479 Speaker 1: taking it too far and just focusing on really awful 216 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: negative things. Yeah. The thing is, I when I first 217 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: saw this story, I actually thought the guys were talking 218 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: about actual women, like real women, because when I saw 219 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: the media coverage it was painted as such a scandal 220 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: that they'd been caught out saying all these negative things 221 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: about women, And then when I realized that it was 222 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: actually this TikTok, it sort of changed my perception on 223 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: this story. I think because the two guys in question 224 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: are footballers, and there is this negative stereotype about footballers 225 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: and how they treat women, I think we view their 226 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: comments as being pretty sinister and disgusting. However, when we 227 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: see women basically rating like we just rated we played 228 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: the game then and had to laugh about men having 229 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: number plates or posting topless photos, well, that could be 230 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: quite offensive to men who actually do that. I don't agree, 231 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 1: because the whole premise of the game is that women 232 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: are taking back a typically male pastime of rating women, 233 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: and they're turning it around on them. So, as we mentioned, 234 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: the game was originally created by women to show men 235 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: that they rate personality traits and certain behaviors higher than 236 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: simply appearance. So I also think there is a stark 237 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: contrast to what women are generally posting and what men 238 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: are posting. It's quite sad because the videos that seem 239 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: to do well in the hour GRUITHM that men share 240 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: really focus on physical appearance, so men will say things 241 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: like she's a seven, but she's got a big nose, 242 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: whereas women will say something like he's a ten, but 243 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: he lives in a different state. Like the negative has 244 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: probably been one where a woman's been like, oh, he's 245 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: a ten, but he's got a small dick, Like isn't 246 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: that just as offensive? Yeah, But Amy, you've got to 247 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: realize that there is still an inherent power imbalance between 248 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: men and women. So many of the statements that these 249 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: men are sharing are still very rooted in gender stereotypes 250 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: and also societal standard So we get all of that, 251 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: but what I'm saying is, I feel like there's a 252 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: difference between you know, there's been kids at high school 253 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: who have been caught out actually ranking girls that they 254 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: know on stuff as you said, about whether their sister's 255 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: hotter than them, whether they smoke vapes, whatever it is. 256 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: I think that's really disgusting because they actually know the people. 257 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: But this was a TikTok trend. And what I'm saying is, 258 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: while I think it was really distasteful what they said, 259 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: I don't know whether the punishment actually fits the crime. 260 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: As you said, these journalists set out to find dirt 261 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 1: on these players and the way it's been publicized. As 262 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: I said, when I first read the article, I thought 263 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: they had done something completely different. Then when I understood 264 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: what the TikTok trend was, I was like, oh wow, Yeah, Amy, 265 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: I'm not just saying it's these Collingwood players that are 266 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: to blame. I think it's sad because, as you say, 267 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: they're not talking about specific people. They necessarily know it's 268 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: a hypothetical person. But if you're a young girl sitting 269 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: at home and you have one of these qualities that 270 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: these boys are deeming, is so awful. It's gonna make 271 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: you feel shit about yourself. They pay it across as 272 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: complete dickeads. But I'm saying there are so many different videos, 273 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: like I can see the confusion. Yeah, but Amy, it's 274 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: because the jokes about women are all centered around the patriarchy, 275 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: whether it's about physical appearance or whether they rate someone 276 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: higher because they've made them a sandwich or they cook dinner. 277 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: You don't see the same sort of jokes being made 278 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: about men. I do get that, And I did see 279 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: a really great TikTok. Can we play a grab of it? 280 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: Because it was hilarious. Well yeah, it showed the real 281 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: stark contrast of how women are playing the game and 282 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: how men are playing the game. Let's throw to a 283 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: clip of it. 284 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 2: She's eight and she's got like the best personality ever, 285 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 2: but she's a size ten. 286 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: Four. 287 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 2: She's a six, but she's got her own opinions. Two 288 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 2: two she's a ten, but she believes that women should 289 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 2: be able to commentate in afl oh two bro two Max, Okay, Okay, 290 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 2: she's a eight, but she doesn't let you say the 291 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 2: N word. Four four Bro, she's a ten, love of 292 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 2: your life, but she had sex with a guy that 293 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 2: you know that's from your hometown like five years ago. 294 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 2: Two nah, No, way, she's a nine, but she loves 295 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 2: Abby Chatfield to one. One. Oh no, man, I'm like, 296 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 2: I kind of like Aber Chatfield. 297 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: No, I'm not with that feminist shit. Nah. My favorite 298 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: line of this is when she's like, oh, but she's 299 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: a fern of Obra Chatfield. That muck cracked me up. 300 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: I would love to hear what everyone else thinks. We're 301 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: going to put a thread in our Facebook community, which 302 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: has outspoken the podcast community. We'd love to hear your thoughts. No, 303 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: I knew she wouldn't come. 304 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 2: Your mother didn't come if and and you know why, 305 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 2: because your mother's a bitch. 306 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: Darling, the former husband of a well known mummy blogger, 307 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: has revealed he ended his marriage after being sick of 308 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: having to keep up with his wife's Instagram aesthetic amy. 309 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: This man's post went viral on Reddit, and he has 310 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: given some great insights into the mummy blogger scene. Yeah, 311 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: he really has dished the dirt on his formal wife. 312 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: So he said that his wife's desire for everything to 313 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: appear picture perfect is ultimately what drove him away. He 314 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: told Reddit uses. He knows it sounds like a dumb 315 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: reason to end a marriage, but he was finally done 316 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: after having to deal with it for so long. He 317 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: revealed his wife had gained over four hundred thousand followers 318 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: following the birth of their daughter, and since then everything changed. 319 00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: He said it doesn't feel like he actually lives in 320 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: a house, He just lives in an Instagram photo shoot. 321 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: So he said that he felt like there was never 322 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: allowed to be any proof that he actually lived in 323 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: the home, and he said his wife stressed out so 324 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: much about how things looked and never actually enjoyed the moment, 325 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: and he gave a great example of this, so he 326 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: said when his daughter took her first steps, rather than 327 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 1: being in the moment, she cracked the shits at him 328 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: after because he had left a drink on the coffee 329 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: table in the background, and she said all that she 330 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,239 Speaker 1: could look at was this drink and she would have 331 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: to edit it out of the YouTube video. It's like 332 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: the house is a set or something. That's exactly what 333 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: he actually said. My house feels like a museum because 334 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to actually touch anything that's actually fucked. 335 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: I can't imagine living life like that at all. I 336 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: did have a laugh because he also said that he 337 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: can't even build a blanket forought for his daughter without 338 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: his wife flipping out that their decorative blankets that have 339 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: been folded a certain way that is actually unbelievable. What 340 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: I found really sad about this post was that his 341 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: wife's obsession with how everything looked as theft even impacted 342 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: on what toys she bought her daughter, so everything has 343 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 1: to be beige and cream or she would refuse to 344 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: buy it. And the husband revealed that his mum had 345 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: bought their daughter a doll's house complete with furniture and dolls, 346 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: but his wife has refused to have it in the 347 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: house because she said it doesn't fit the aesthetics, so 348 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,199 Speaker 1: it has to say at the Grandma's house. And it 349 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: kind of reminded me of that doll's house that Olivia 350 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: Rodgers has made, except she would actually want that dolls house. 351 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I don't even have a child and 352 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: I want to build a doll's house now. So I'm 353 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: getting off topic, Amy, but I just couldn't help but 354 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 1: think of Sarah's Day and Kerk in terms of this, 355 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: because they do have a lot of toys for fogs, 356 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: but in terms of just everything having to be so 357 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: so I always wonder what did the guys really think 358 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: about it. I think the most amusing thing about this 359 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,959 Speaker 1: post is that the wife is convinced that the husband 360 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: is actually leaving her for another woman, not that her 361 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: behavior has any blame, and he's also encouraged her to 362 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: seek professional help. She insists it, insists it isn't a problem, 363 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: but it clearly is. If your husband is saying, no, 364 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: I need to get out of this relationship, it is 365 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: actually really sad when you think about it. And I 366 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: have always wondered how the partners of mummy bloggers and 367 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: even general influences felt with things having to be so 368 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: picture perfect all the time. Because my boyfriend just hates 369 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: having a photo taken as it is. I don't know 370 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,479 Speaker 1: actually having to live in that world what it would be. Yeah. Well, 371 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,479 Speaker 1: last night I was actually stressing out because Dale and 372 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: I are buying a new couch and I didn't know 373 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: whether we get a charcoal couch or the beige couch. 374 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: And I was like, Oh, the beige is gonna look 375 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: so much nicer, and that I thought the reality of 376 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 1: having a beige couch. I don't know if I can 377 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: be a beige couch person now. My favorite comment in 378 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: the reddit thread was from a woman who said, this 379 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: whole thread has been deeply satisfying to the hot mess 380 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 1: of a mum. I can genuinely say that out of 381 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: all the reasons my husband has probably considered leaving me 382 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: my house, being too clean has never been one of them. 383 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: Score one for the losers. 384 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 2: Colum on YouTube, Hey guys, welcome to my channel. I'm 385 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 2: Chloe Zepanovski and this is my first video on YouTube. 386 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: In this video, I'm going to be talking Chloe Zepp 387 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 1: has teased her followers that she may be launching a podcast, Kate, 388 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 1: what do we know so far? All? 389 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 3: It all started when Chloe shared she had missed her 390 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 3: brand zep's warehouse sale in Melbourne because she was sick. 391 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 3: She wrote, I'm sorry I couldn't attend. I have some 392 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 3: sort of virus or something and have been in bed 393 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 3: for the last few days. She added the vomiting emoji. 394 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: It just cracked me up. 395 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 3: I've got some sort of virus. Some sort of virus 396 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 3: is going around. I mean, who knows if it's COVID. 397 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: Or the floor. To be fair, I was struck with 398 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: a virus last week. There's definitely heaps of weird viruses 399 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: going around. 400 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. Well. Chloe later shared that she had managed to 401 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 3: get out of bed and had made herself a bowl 402 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 3: of vegan coconut maple rice pudding, which she said she 403 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 3: had made to nourish her soul. 404 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: Fuck. I must be really hungry because that sounds so 405 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: delicious right now. 406 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 3: It actually looked really young anyway. She seemed in a 407 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 3: very reflect mood and wrote, I think this sickness was 408 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 3: to remind me not to forget to take care of 409 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 3: myself even when I have a million things going on. 410 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 3: Health is wealth, always trying to find the balance with everything. 411 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 3: I feel like I had my health down pat then 412 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 3: I had to step into working heaps, and I have 413 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 3: fully neglected that part of myself. 414 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: I'd love to. 415 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 3: Share more about my journey. A podcast would be fun 416 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 3: once things slow down. My journey in life, parenthood, business, partnerships, etc. 417 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 3: Because there's so many challenges and learning curves. Do you 418 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 3: know what, when you become sick, you do become very reflective. 419 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 3: Because I had a sore throat last week and I 420 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 3: was COVID negative, Thank goodness, But you just feel like, 421 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 3: oh my god, I wish I could go back to 422 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 3: the time where my throat wasn't so sore like it 423 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 3: just why didn't I look after my health? 424 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: Really? Yeah, exactly? And you just try and eat so 425 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 1: many veggies. 426 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 3: Well, what do you guys think about this new podcast idea? 427 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: I would definitely listen to it. I actually thoroughly enjoyed 428 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: when Mitch had his podcast, So I wonder if they 429 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: could potentially do it together. I'm guessing they won't. I'm 430 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: assuming it will be one of her influence of friends 431 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: who's also into Wellness. Really need another influencer led podcast though, 432 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: because I don't know. I feel like they start them 433 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: and then they suddenly can't stick to them. It depends. 434 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: I think when they have a company behind them that's 435 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: helping produce it, sometimes they can be really good. I've 436 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: been getting into Common Chaos recently, and that's obviously an 437 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: influencer lead podcast, but it does have good production value, 438 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 1: so it really depends. 439 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 3: It's funny now doing a podcast for three years and 440 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 3: doing two episodes a week alongside our full time jobs. 441 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 3: Just a humble brag there. I don't think people realize 442 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 3: how much effort actually goes into a podcast. And it 443 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 3: was funny because I was also listening to Common Chaos 444 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 3: that was a recommendation I gave you Amy, Yeah, and 445 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 3: Cartier was interviewing Sammy Robinson and she was saying how 446 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,479 Speaker 3: she can't believe how Sammy can do all her fashion 447 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 3: stuff because she finds it hard enough recording one podcast 448 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 3: a week and they get it professionally edited and everything 449 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 3: like that. So it is funny because it's a very 450 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 3: time consuming thing, and I think that's why we see 451 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 3: a lot of influencer lad podcasts only come out for 452 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 3: a short season and then we don't hear from them again. 453 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: A school that bans far mals is a school that 454 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 1: bans life, summer heats hide. 455 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 2: You should be ashamed of yourself Fastly far molds can 456 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 2: give hope. 457 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: They give paver people something to live for another week. 458 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: Another influencer calling out a Big Cup Meat for releasing 459 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: a similar design Kate, what has happened this time? 460 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 3: Well, this week, Riley Hempson, who is well known under 461 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 3: her handle Healthy Chick one oh one, uploaded a video 462 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 3: to TikTok calling out White Fox Boutique for releasing a 463 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 3: similar swimwear design to hers. Riley, who has over four 464 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty eight thousand followers on Instagram, is the 465 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 3: founder of sustainable clothing brand Remy by Riley So. The 466 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 3: brand is celebrated for being size inclusive, and not only 467 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 3: does it stop clothing ranging from extra small to six 468 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 3: x L, but it also showcases a range of body 469 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 3: types in their advertising now. Back in December twenty twenty one, 470 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 3: Riley launched a drop of Remy Swim which included bright 471 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 3: colored bikinis featuring a pattern that consisted of different sized 472 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 3: lettering spelling out the brand's name. In the recent TikTok video, 473 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 3: Riley appeared in the foreground behind an image of the swimwear, 474 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 3: which transitioned to a photo of very similar bikinis on 475 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 3: the White Fox Boutique's website. Now, the main difference in 476 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 3: the design was the pattern spelled White Fox rather than Remy. 477 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: Now, the video has received a lot of attention. Since 478 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 1: the time of recording, Riley's video has been viewed over 479 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty six thousand times and has had 480 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: sixteen point three thousand likes. The video was also flooded 481 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: with hundreds of supportive messages as well as people tagging 482 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: White Fox Boutique for comment Now. A lot of the 483 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: commentary highlighted the fact that White Fox Boutique aren't size 484 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: inclusive like Remy by Riley nor sustainable. Also, White Fox 485 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 1: Boutique has received backlash on their own Instagram account in 486 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: the comment section. Now, we wanted to delve into the 487 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: laws regarding fashion in Australia because these sorts of incidents 488 00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: are often a hot topic of discussion in our f 489 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: Facebook community, and in Australia there isn't a distinct set 490 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: of laws governing the fashion industry. However, Australia has gone 491 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: a lot further than other countries by implementing laws around 492 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,719 Speaker 1: registered designs. So unlike copyright, which comes into effect as 493 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: soon as you publish your work, you need to register 494 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: for a fashion design to receive protection from the law. 495 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: The lawfuls under the Design Act two thousand and three 496 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: and protects the visual features of a product, including shape, configuration, 497 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: pattern and a decorative element. So it is important to 498 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: note the registration doesn't cover things like the material or 499 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 1: the feel of the product. Therefore, even if a garment 500 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: is registered, other designers can use the same fabric for 501 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: a similarly designed dress. So despite the limitations, the Act 502 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: is really important for the fashion industry as it's a 503 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: lot more applicable to fashion design than other forms of IP. 504 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 3: And while it all sounds good in theory, the Act 505 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 3: has a lot of limitations. So firstly, it's actually really 506 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 3: difficult to get your design registered as it has to 507 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 3: pass the test of being both new and distinctive. So 508 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 3: to be considered new, the design cannot be identical to 509 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 3: any design previously disclosed or published anywhere in the world, 510 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 3: and to be considered distinctive, it must not be substantially 511 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 3: similar in overall impression to any design previously disclosed or 512 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 3: published anywhere in the world, so it seems pretty hard 513 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 3: to actually match this standard. Secondly, while the Act may 514 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 3: protect your design in Australia, it won't necessarily stop it 515 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 3: from being copied overseas unless the design is also registered 516 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 3: in that country system. And Lastly, even if your design 517 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 3: is registered, it can later be disputed by a third party. 518 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 3: So normally this occurs when a design owner sues a 519 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 3: third party for a design infringement, then the third party 520 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 3: counterclaims that the design owner doesn't have a valid design right. 521 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 3: On the tenth of March this year, changes to the 522 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 3: Design Act came into force. So the biggest change is 523 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 3: the introduction of a twelve month grace period, which gives 524 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 3: a designer the ability to seek protection for its design 525 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 3: within twelve months, even if the design has been published 526 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 3: on social media. So prior to this Act coming into force, 527 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 3: if you had published your design prior to filling in 528 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,719 Speaker 3: an application, there was literally no way you could protect 529 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 3: your design. And the funniest thing is your design would 530 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 3: then be included in all the designs that this board 531 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,479 Speaker 3: actually compares it to. So of course it would then 532 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 3: be exactly the same as your design that's on records, 533 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 3: so you would automatically be rejected for this type of protection, 534 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 3: which doesn't make sense. 535 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: The thing is, this is all really super confusing if 536 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: you're a new brand to even follow what's going on. 537 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: And you can see why, and you can see why 538 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: there are so many brands who are accusing bigger brands 539 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: of copying. But literally there doesn't seem to be much 540 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 1: protection in place. You have to jump through all of 541 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: these hoops, and then even if you do register it, it 542 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 1: seems like there's not much protection anyway because people can 543 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: appeal it. 544 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 3: And I suppose the complexity of it is because there 545 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 3: are so many designs out there that are similar, so 546 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 3: in order to have your design protected, it has to 547 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 3: be out of this world completely different. So that's how 548 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 3: all these fast fashion brands get away with replicating other 549 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 3: people's designs because it actually is within the law. Well, 550 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 3: I think that's all we have time for today. Thank 551 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 3: you so much for joining us for today's episode.
