1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Outspoken, your dose of the hottest

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm Sophie

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: Torbert and I'm joined by my sister and journalist Kate. Now,

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: today's show is going to be a little bit different.

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: As a one off, we will be answering all your

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: anonymous questions that you've sent in and they are pretty juicy. Yeah,

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: I had to go through them and categorize them. So

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: there are mean questions which I feel like probably everyone's

9
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: here to listen to what people have sent in through

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: that category. There are also questions about the podcast. There's also,

11
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: of course influencer questions and some personal ones in there.

12
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: And I suppose the elephant in the room is that

13
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: Amy is not here. We were hoping to be all together. However,

14
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: the reason why we're recording this special episode is that

15
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: Sofa and Amy's business, Hula Media, has a very busy

16
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: week full of a lot of after hours work. So

17
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: this week we have actually celebrated our fifth year in business,

18
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: so we are growing by the day. So it's a

19
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: very busy time of year and Amy is not available. Yeah,

20
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: So normally we try and record our podcast episodes the

21
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: day before, so they're very relevant. So we've had to

22
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: pre record this episode. Now, let's start with some of

23
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: these mean questions. Someone sent in saying, sometimes I feel

24
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: a very bitchy high school vibe. Sorry when I'm read

25
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: it out, and then my voice sounded quite bitchy as

26
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: I've read, So sometimes I feel a very bitchy high

27
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: school vibe off you girls when speaking about other females.

28
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: It's really disappointing. Do you notice this? Do you know

29
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: what I think is disappointing that whenever women talk about

30
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: other women, they're labeled as bitches, And I just think

31
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: it's super degrading to talk about women like that in general.

32
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: I think people try and hide it by saying, oh,

33
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: bitchy high school vibes. And the thing is, we are

34
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: trying to be professional as possible. It's not like we

35
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: talk about people's appearance or we drag them down and

36
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: call them nasty names. We're literally just holding influences to

37
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: account for damaging behavior. And sometimes we'll have a little

38
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: bit of a gossip as well. But I don't think

39
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: that there's anything wrong with that. I don't think we

40
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: say anything that you wouldn't say in your group chat

41
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: or to your friends when you're grabbing a coffee. The

42
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: other thing I don't like about this question is do

43
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: we ever call men bitchy for having an opinion on

44
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: other men? I feel like bitchy is such a loaded

45
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: term and one that is directed all the time at women,

46
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: because if you're a strong woman who has opinions, you're

47
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: automatically bitchy. And I really hate that. Yeah, let's move

48
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: on to the next one. Who do you think is

49
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: best looking? So this is a question that we get

50
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: a lot being triplets, and I find it so stupid

51
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: because we're identical triplets, So I think the question is

52
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: a little bit redundant. Obviously there are differences in between us,

53
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: but do you know what, I'm just gonna put it

54
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: out there. Please don't tell us, Please don't tell us

55
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: who you think is the best looking or what differences

56
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: there are. Because as someone that's grown up their whole

57
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: life with people pointing out, oh, you're the triplet with

58
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: the freckle there or this and that, it makes you

59
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: feel really insecure. And I don't think we should be

60
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: pitting women against each other saying who's better looking. Yeah,

61
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: it is a bit of an old question because even

62
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: answering it, what are you going to be? Like? Yeah,

63
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: definitely me. I think I'm the best looking, like I

64
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: don't know is and also beauty if it's want to

65
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: make us argue more, maybe, But also beauty is so subjective.

66
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we pretty much look the same, except for

67
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: we've got a couple of different hairdoos going on. Someone

68
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: else wrote, which I did have a laugh about, I

69
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: think you're really sheltered and naive for thirty years old.

70
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: Do you think you were sheltered as kids? Is it

71
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: a triplet thing? I don't think we're naive. I can

72
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: kind of see the sheltered thing. Our mom used to

73
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: be pretty overprotective, so when we were younger, she'd make

74
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: us wear floaties. We would have to wear mouthguards when

75
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: we played netball because she was worried we get our

76
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: teeth nats? Is it not just being so careful though?

77
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I personally don't think that I have lived

78
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: such a sheltered existence because I started out very young

79
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: in a newsroom environment, and that's anything but sheltered. I

80
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: went on a number of confronting stories in my early twenties,

81
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: which involves suicide, murder, So I don't really think that

82
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: I've lived a sheltered existence. Amy and I have also

83
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: fought a huge news organization over sexual harassment complaints, so

84
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: I don't particularly think I'm sheltered. I think I have

85
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: gone through a lot of difficult times. But I don't know.

86
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: Everyone says adult a big country town, so maybe we've

87
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: got a bit of a country vibe going on. We're

88
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: very close to our mum. We have always acted maybe

89
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: a little bit younger than we are. I think people

90
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: need to remember that we are recording a podcast, too,

91
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: so you have to keep things a little bit pg.

92
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: We try not to just talk about ourselves. We really

93
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: want this to be a podcast where we're talking about

94
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: relevant and interesting things that everyone's talking about, with a

95
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: little bit of personal stuff because we are asked personal questions. Sometimes.

96
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: I love how you say that, Yet this whole episode

97
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: seems to be us answering questions about ourselves. Anyways, one

98
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: off the next one is why do you speak with

99
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: no inflection? It's so monotonous and boring. It's hard to

100
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: remain engaged when you have no passion in your voices.

101
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: They sound so flat. I was personally offended by this one.

102
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: I have had voice training as a journo, and I've

103
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: tried to put a lot of inflection in my voice,

104
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: to the point where Kate and Amy are like, pipe down, yeah,

105
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: I feel like you have got inflection in your voice.

106
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: I feel like this one might be targeted at me,

107
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: because often Amy and Sophie say that I sound very monotone.

108
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: I am the Courtney cut Ashian if we giving each

109
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: other Kadashian personas, So sorry if that's me. I have

110
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: been trying to put a little bit more inflection. I

111
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: have listened back to some of the old podcasts. I'm like,

112
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: dear God, so yeah, sorry, working on that. We take

113
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: that one on the chin now. The next question is

114
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: do you get worried about being older mums? And to

115
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: be honest, this question did annoy me because I don't

116
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: think in this day and age, we're actually really considered

117
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: older mums, Like most of our friends don't have kids,

118
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: and the ones that do have only just had them recently.

119
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: To defend this person, though I don't actually think they

120
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: were trying to be offensive, I think that maybe we

121
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: are a bit of a rarity in the sense of

122
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: we have spoken about how we don't necessarily want children

123
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: at this stage in our lives, so I don't think

124
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: the person is meaning offense. But for me, I feel

125
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: like I've touched on a few of these questions. But

126
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: as someone who has worked around other women who leave

127
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: having children till later in life, in their late thirties

128
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: or early forties, to me, if I had a child tomorrow,

129
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't really consider myself as an old mum. I

130
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: feel ver a young at heart, So to me, I

131
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: don't think I I'm worried about being an older mum,

132
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: but it's obviously the biological thing that we were. Everyone's

133
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,559
Speaker 1: always talking about fertility, and I think it's a really

134
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: interesting discussion and an important one. But I feel like,

135
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 1: because there is so much talk about fertility these days,

136
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: as soon as you turn thirty, you do feel very pressured,

137
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: which I think is why I get my back up

138
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: when I hear questions like this, because it's not like

139
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: you're asking men, oh, how do you feel about being

140
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: an older dad. I don't really hear men get asked

141
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,119
Speaker 1: that question. Well, I was getting a routine blood test

142
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: done and Mum did get in my ear and say, hey,

143
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: why don't you get your fertility checked at the same time,

144
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: and I actually didn't know it was as easy as

145
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: getting a blood test, So I am actually having to

146
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: wait two weeks to find out the results. So I'm

147
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: a little bit nervous about that because you do always

148
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: assume that you will just be able to have children,

149
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: which obviously isn't always the case. I'm a bit too

150
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: scared at the moment to do it. I might get

151
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: forced to do it depending on your results. So the

152
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: next question is do you ever feel like some of

153
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: your content is harmful slash hurtful rather than helpful. I

154
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: definitely don't think that our content is harmful. In instances

155
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: where we do hold influences to account, I think that

156
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: we are always fair and actually report on the issue

157
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: itself and not speak badly about the individual. Yeah. I mean,

158
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: obviously it's not going to be a great feeling if

159
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: you're called out, But I think if you've got a

160
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: platform and you are an influential person that is making

161
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: a living off influencing people, I think it's well within

162
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: our rights to be able to hold these people to account,

163
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: and I think we're having very important discussions. That's the thing.

164
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: The podcast is also a bit of fun. A lot

165
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: of questions have also suggested that we have a judgmental

166
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: tone when talking about people. I mean, some of the

167
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: things we are talking about are pretty minor funny topics,

168
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, about breakups or stupid shit that people do.

169
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't really think it's harmful. I think there's a

170
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: fun element to it. And as you pointed out, Kate,

171
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: these people are putting their lives out there as content

172
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: to be discussed, and the more that you do discuss

173
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: certain influences, the bigger engagement they get, which, at the

174
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: end of the day, is good for their brands. Exactly. Now,

175
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: they were all the mean questions. I think we probably

176
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: got off quite well there. Some of them sort of

177
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: hit a nerve a little bit. Thank you for no

178
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: one writing in that we were ugly, because I was

179
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: waiting for that one after the whole Carl and Jackie

180
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: O debarkle. Yeah. I mean, once you call it ugly

181
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: on a national radio station, the biggest in the country,

182
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: you kind of get over it pretty quickly. So the

183
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: first question in the podcast section is do you make

184
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: an income from the podcast? So we do make some

185
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: money from advertising, so you will hear some ads pop

186
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: into the podcast, and while it's great as a little

187
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: side hustle, we definitely aren't earning enough to do this

188
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: full time at the moment, so we all do still

189
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: have full time jobs, hence why it is quite hard

190
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: to juggle two episodes a week, but we do love

191
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: doing it. A lot of people do ask whether this

192
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: is something that we would like to do full time,

193
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: and to be completely transparent, it would be our dream

194
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: job to do this full time and to be able

195
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: to invest the time that we want to into the

196
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: podcast and also potentially do other spinoff series. So yeah,

197
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: we're hoping it does turn into something that we can

198
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: make a full time income off. Now, off the back

199
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: of that question, someone wrote in, honestly wish you guys

200
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: could do daily episodes. Love listening to you three. Thank you.

201
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: That's very kind. Now, we would love to be bringing

202
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: out more content, but it really does come down to time,

203
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: and as we've mentioned, we are quite time poor at

204
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,359
Speaker 1: the moment. But we're hoping we can build up momentum,

205
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: get more listeners. I suppose that equates to some advertising

206
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: dollars and hopefully be able to be in a position

207
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: to give you guys more content. So we're investigating some

208
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: strategies on how to do that and how to fasten

209
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: it up, because it really is our passion and we

210
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: would love to be doing that for you. The next

211
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: question is how long does it take to plan and

212
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: record a podcast episode each week? Now, we do like

213
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: to keep the content as up to date as possible,

214
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: so we do try to record the day before the

215
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: podcast airs. So usually throughout the week we are looking

216
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: for hot topics to discuss, and we do have a

217
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: little group that we've called our cissy chat I think

218
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: is it cissy chat cissy group. Yeah, it's a personal joke.

219
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: We don't actually call each other. So we do put

220
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: a thread in the group every week and we chuck

221
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: in and new screenshots of stuff that we see. So

222
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: usually we will assign each of us a couple of

223
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: topics and we will then go away and spend a

224
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: couple of hours researching and putting the notes together. Then

225
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: when it comes to recording, it generally does take between

226
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: one or two hours, depending on how many fights break

227
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: out or if my dogs are barking, which happens quite

228
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: a lot, we have to stop and start again, and

229
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: then an argument gets started. So in terms of editing,

230
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 1: we will edit the night before. So we used to

231
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: leave it up to one person and it was meant

232
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: to be rotated around, but people thought it was unfair

233
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: because someone would get lumbered with all the editing. So

234
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: what we've done now to make it fairer on each

235
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: other is we'll edit up our own topics, and that

236
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: has been working really well, and then someone has to

237
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: put it all together. And then so if it does

238
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: all our social posting in the morning of the episode airing,

239
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: because she's a legend, we appreciate you doing that. I

240
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: am a bit disappointed with the post that I do

241
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: put up because I wish we had more time to

242
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: invest in shooting cool reels of the podcast and us

243
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: popping up on there. But you know, as I say,

244
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: maybe we have a bit more time, we can do

245
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: all of those things now. On that Sophie, a lot

246
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: of people seem to think that you have been secretly

247
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: running the Influenzer updates au paged despite Amber running that page.

248
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: She is a member in our Facebook group and she

249
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: pops up on the videos. Her face is there, so

250
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: I don't understand. Someone said we're getting Sophie vibes. I

251
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: take that as a compliment, because I really like Amber's approach.

252
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: When she is talking about influencers, you can tell that

253
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: she genuinely is a fan of some influencers and more

254
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: so gives them the benefit of the doubt. So I

255
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: take that as a compliment. But no, it is not

256
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: me running that page. As you said, Kate, her face

257
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: pops up in the videos. Maybe it's all an elaborate,

258
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: elaborate plan from myself. Now, the next question is there

259
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: one of you that holds this show together? Like without

260
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: you it'd be a chaotic shit show. Now, thank you

261
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: for not thinking the podcast is a chaotic shit show,

262
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: because sometimes it feels like that when we're recording and

263
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: then we listen back to the episode and we're like, oh,

264
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: that came together. Okay. I don't want to get in

265
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: trouble by pinpointing people who were holding the show together

266
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: or not. Do you know what new listeners might find

267
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: rather interesting is that Kate initially wasn't in the podcast

268
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: when we started it. Well, I wanted to be, but

269
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: I was working at The thirty six's overtime all the time,

270
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: so sometimes I'd pop in and out. Yeah, and you

271
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: did mock up the album artwork without me, which should

272
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: have been a sign. Yeah, that's the thing. The artwork

273
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: didn't have you on it for quite some time, and

274
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: Amy and I were really holding the show together at

275
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: that point. But I think you've been a good inclusion, Kay,

276
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: You've earned your spot. Thank you. I have noticed that

277
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: we've climbed up the podcast ranking chant since I've got

278
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's just a coincidence or not.

279
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: The next question is do you ever need space from

280
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: each other and push through the podcast for the sake

281
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: of it. I think someone's hit the nail on the

282
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: head there. We do spend a lot of time with

283
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: each other, and you know, Amy and I work together.

284
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: We used to live five minutes apart from each other.

285
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: We would spend a lot of time together. We used

286
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: to live together until we were thirty. Also, I think

287
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: people are giving us the benefit of the doubt here

288
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: because a lot of the times people don't push through it,

289
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: because Amy is known for actually storming off whilst we're recording,

290
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: and sometimes you'll hear someone's voice just completely drop out

291
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: of the episode. But yeah, thank you for giving us

292
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt that we do push through it.

293
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: Because sometimes we don't because we just get so sick

294
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: of each other, and then other times we just miss

295
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: each other all the time and want to be around.

296
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: So it's a very complicated relationship, does a thing. Sometimes

297
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: we can be sitting here together in absolute rage and

298
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: seething at one another, and it does feel a little

299
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: bit difficult sometimes to be like up and about and

300
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: fun with each other. So maybe back to that original

301
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: question of having like no infliction in our voices, maybe

302
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: they listen to those episodes where we just want to

303
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: kill each other and we're gritting through our teeth to

304
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: get through it. I know our best friend and our

305
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: mum can tell when we've been really angry with each

306
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: other during an episode, So I wonder if any og

307
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: listeners can pick that up now. Hopefully not. The next

308
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: question is is one of you three the leader? Typically

309
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: in a three someone always leads the others, but maybe

310
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: that's just in friendship groups. Now, Kate, you have always

311
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: positioned yourself as the boss because you are older than

312
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: Amy and I technically yes, I'm old about a couple

313
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: of minutes. And I think Mum set this all up

314
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: because when we turned one, Mum was interviewed for the

315
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: Advertiser at our first birthday party, and I think we

316
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: may have told this story, so sorry for old listeners,

317
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: but essentially we all had gastro on the day of

318
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: our first birthday party, so it weren't really into it.

319
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: And there's this hilarious photo of We're all sitting in

320
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: party hats and I'm pinging the elastic on the hat

321
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: and Sophie and Amy are crying. And Mum was interviewed

322
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: and she was asked to describe each of our personality types.

323
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: And I think so for you were like kind and

324
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: placid and accre something similar, and Kate was bossy, and

325
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: I think that's always sort of gone through our relationships.

326
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: So when we were all living together, the situation was

327
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: that I was the mother of the house. Amy was

328
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: the dad. She used to do typical dad activities like

329
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: not to be gender stereotype, but building things and cleaning

330
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: outs and so if he was always the kid. So

331
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: I do feel like I've always been the boss. But

332
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: then I think with this podcast, because we all sort

333
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: of think where the boss, it can get a bit tricky. See,

334
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think that you're the boss of the podcast. Kate,

335
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: even though you may think you are because Amy and I,

336
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, did start the podcast together, and I

337
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: think Amy and I have the sort of personality where

338
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: we do put ourselves out and try for things that

339
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: could potentially be embarrassing. You know, we do take a risk.

340
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: We took a risk with our pr agency. We took

341
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: a risk with the podcast, whereas sometimes, Kate, you wait

342
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: for Amy and I to take the risk, and then

343
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: once you know it's a good investment to involve yourself in,

344
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: then you jump on board in saying that that doesn't

345
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: mean that I shouldn't be the boss, Like maybe I

346
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: should be the boss and you guys can be the

347
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: reas I don't think the boss needs to pull everyone

348
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: in line now and then for things that may not

349
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: be a good idea. This question hurt my heart, he said,

350
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: I'm glad you have cut down the audio between the

351
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: segments to shorter clips. It did my head in sometimes low,

352
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: so thank you. I loved the interros. There were so

353
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: many nasty reviews. What is this? It's called humor. It's

354
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: called humor, So if we still have them. There was

355
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: one episode where we tried to cut them out and

356
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: do little music. I hated that Sophie didn't like it,

357
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: So we've got the upsots back in it, but we've

358
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: tried to keep them shorter because Sophie, you would go

359
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: sometimes a little bit rogue and put in like two

360
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: minutes of an in between a quote that was very obscure.

361
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: I got carried away. It's hilarious that you're still in

362
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: me too. So we're trying to have a bit of

363
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: quality control with those upsots, trying to keep them shorter.

364
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: But I would try really hard because I would try

365
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: and find something obscure from a show that related to

366
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: either what we were previously talking about, what we're about

367
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: to talk about, because personate you personally. When I listen

368
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: to podcasts and they have the same upsots every time,

369
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: I roll my eyes and I get sick of those upsots. Now,

370
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: the next question is do people ever comment that it

371
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: is weird or pathetic to be doing a podcast on influences.

372
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of offensive to everyone involved, not

373
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: only us, but also the people that listen to the podcast,

374
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: because there clearly is a high command of people wanting

375
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: to talk about influencers. I mean, influencer's whole job is

376
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 1: based on influencing people and talking to large audiences. So

377
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,479
Speaker 1: of course people are going to be interested in their

378
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: day to day lives and what's going on and the

379
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: gossip and the drama and the dissecting of bigger topics

380
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: within the industry. It's because influencers are the modern day celebrity,

381
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: and there are so many pop culture podcasts that only

382
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: focus on celebrities, and for us, I don't really relate

383
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 1: to an A list celebrity in America. I'm more on

384
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: my Instagram checking out what presumably the girl next door,

385
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: the next biggest influencer is up to, and I would

386
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: rather talk about that with my friends than some person

387
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: that I find so incredibly unrelatable in the US. So no,

388
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: I don't think it's pathetic to be talking about it,

389
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: because it's what a lot of people talk to their

390
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: friends about. Another person wrote, does the hay ever get

391
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: to you? And I think the short answer is yes,

392
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: of course it does. We're only human. I mean, the

393
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: whole Kyle and Jackie O thing was very upsetting, and

394
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: it's usually when something really blows up really big and

395
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: you're getting perhaps an influencers followers coming over and leaving

396
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 1: you negative comments and just abusing you or threatening you.

397
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: That's when it really gets too far. Other times, I

398
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: mean I personally there is a question about do you

399
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: read the podcast reviews? I personally now try not to

400
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 1: read them, particularly because you can be anonymous while writing reviews,

401
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: it's hard to take them seriously. Like obviously we take

402
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: on any sort of constructive criticism. We're all about it.

403
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: It's great to have a read and see people being

404
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: polite and saying, oh, maybe can you not do that

405
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: or can you not talk about that? But when it's

406
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: really offensive and hateful, there's no point reading it because

407
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: you just don't know who's center in this. They've obviously

408
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: got their own vendetta or their own personal reason why

409
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: they feel they need to hate on you. I do

410
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: consider myself to be quite a sensitive person in my

411
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: day to day life. However, when it comes to these

412
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: podcasts or work, I think through working in the media,

413
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: I have developed quite a thick skin to some level

414
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: where God, SOB you're the one that's always looking up

415
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: the negative. Yeah, but I look them up. But it's

416
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: not like I burst into tears or it affects me

417
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: all day. Yeah, I see them, so okay, but I

418
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: see them, and I want to have event about how

419
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: rude it is, because it is hard when you invest

420
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: a lot of your spare time into something, and you

421
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: do put a lot of effort into it for someone

422
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: to just come into the podcast reviews and tear down

423
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: what you're doing. But I'm saying on another level, I

424
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: think if an everyday person copt this sort of abuse

425
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: and hate that we do, they would be on a

426
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: heap on the floor. But the fact that we have

427
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: one another, and the fact that we've gone through a

428
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: lot of bigger issues than this, we do go through

429
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 1: it relatively unscathed. I mean, I don't remember ever crying

430
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: about any of the hate, which is something a lot

431
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: of other people would do. Yeah, I just try and

432
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: ignore it, to be honest. The other thing as well,

433
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: is we are putting ourselves out there on a public platform,

434
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: so of course people are going to have opinions on us,

435
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: because we are also airing our opinions on things that

436
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: other people do. So I think it would be a

437
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: little bit hypocritical of us to see in our ivory

438
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: tower and not expect to have any hate or abuse

439
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: thrown our way. And it's just expected it's part of

440
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: this job. I did hear Piers Morgan, who is very infamous,

441
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: say that if you are in the business of making

442
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: an opinion, if everyone loves you, you're obviously not doing

443
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: a good enough job. So there's always going to be

444
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: people who disagree with your opinion. Look, I don't know

445
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: if we should be taking life advice from Piers Morgan,

446
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: but that is a really interesting statement, and I think

447
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: we need to jump into some of these personal questions.

448
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: So someone asked who has the largest net worth between us?

449
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: And I mean, I just think it's quite funny because

450
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: net worth, I mean, we were talking on Tuesday about

451
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: Tammy hembrow worth thirty nine million dollars thirty ak sorry,

452
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: thirty eight Sadly, I don't even know. I mean, I

453
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: suppose if you look at assets, Amy's got the more

454
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: expensive house. But okay, that's how are you deciding on it? Okay,

455
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: you are getting your new car this month, so maybe

456
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: that makes you a little bit more asset rich then.

457
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: But I definitely am probably the poorest of the net

458
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: worth because I don't own a house at the moment,

459
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: but I've got more in savings that Yeah, I'm going

460
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 1: to be very poor as of next week because I

461
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: am purchasing a new car. And to put it into perspective,

462
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: I've been driving my Mazda two. It's got scratches all

463
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: down the sides. It's pretty betting up for the last

464
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: ten to eleven years. So I am upgrading to a

465
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 1: soccermum car Kia Sportage. So I'm very excited about that.

466
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm actually going to be an adult,

467
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: because at the moment, I feel like I'm a poor

468
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: UNI student driving around in a car that is all

469
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: beaten up. So looking forward to that. The next question

470
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: is what happened with the whole Channel seven saga. Now,

471
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: it is rather a long story and it is one

472
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: that we have to be careful about telling. We did

473
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: go into more detail about this on our very first episode,

474
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: so if you want to go and check that out,

475
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: apologies if it does sound bad, because as we said,

476
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: our first couple of episodes weren't great. But yeah, we

477
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: do go into more depth. Also, if you want to

478
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: google Amy Torbert and the seven thirty Report, there will

479
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: be a video explaining in more detail what happened. Someone

480
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: has asked, can you please post pics of your engagement

481
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: rings in the Facebook group. We definitely can. I think

482
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: we did post a picture when we first got all

483
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: got engaged, but yeah, we can share that again if

484
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: you're interested. Just to point out, so Amy and I

485
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,719
Speaker 1: have the brilliant cut solitaire diamonds, the round one, and

486
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: Kate you have an oval diamond with jewels around it

487
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: and jewels around the band. When I say jewels and

488
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: my diamonds, it just reminds me of Sex in the

489
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: City a goold band. Yeah. No, we're not very good

490
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: at explaining engagement rings, even though we talk a lot

491
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: about influencers engagements. The next question is what is your

492
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: favorite song quick fire? Mine is so thank you forgot

493
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: the name of it, Taylor Swift, you belong with Me.

494
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: My go to answer is always Taylor Swift's Out of

495
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: the Woods, but I actually don't listen to that that

496
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: much anymore, really, anything Taylor Swift does. I also love

497
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson, I love a bit of Good Charlotte, a

498
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: bit of a teeny bopper Hansoen. So someone wrote, can

499
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: you share wedding plan updates? Including Amy even though she's

500
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: banned it. So Amy's update is pretty quick. I'll fill

501
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: everyone in she hasn't organized anything, and Amy and I've

502
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: both been engaged for seven months now, so Amie yep.

503
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: As for me, we have hit under the sixth month

504
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: mark for my wedding, so I'm feeling a bit of

505
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: pressure to get these invites out. I still haven't got

506
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: them out. I'm still waiting on one more address from

507
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: Reese and then I'm going to send the information off

508
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: to the printer. This has been the bane of my existence.

509
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: Could you just get these bloody invites out? I'm getting

510
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: it straight. The paper color, oh my god, just pick

511
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: a color, it doesn't matter anymore. Look, can I just

512
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: say I don't like I don't like the terra cotta

513
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: with the red riding. I'm just putting it out there.

514
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: Want you need white with white writing? It doesn't really matter.

515
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: Can we put in our Facebook group? Does anyone actually

516
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: care what the invite look like? I am in two

517
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: minds because I do think that the invite sets the

518
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: tone for what the event is going to be like. Yeah,

519
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: because I want the stationary all to match at the wedding,

520
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking, well, what that's going to decide what

521
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: the menus look like? Anyway? What else have I done.

522
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: I have booked in the wedding accommodation, so we're all

523
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: staying at this beautiful place up at Stirling. I have

524
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: booked in the dog's puppy sitters the day before, so

525
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: they're going to be looked after, which is quite funny.

526
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: What else have I done? So? I need to get

527
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 1: the bridesmaid's dresses organized? Yeah, you really do. I put

528
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: an email out there trying to arrange a time to

529
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 1: actually look at the dresses. We have been planning your

530
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: hen's party as well, and you are the sort of

531
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: bride that you actually want to be a bit involved

532
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 1: in the process, so it's not a complete surprise what

533
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: we're doing, but yeah, I think you want to have

534
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: a bit of control over that. Yeah, we're looking at

535
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: staying at an airbnb with just the bridesmaids and then

536
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: potentially doing a lunch on the Saturday. Am I allowed

537
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: to give away what the theme is? Yeah? Maybe tell

538
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 1: everyone because yeah, yeah, well our friend Hannah actually came

539
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: up with it. It's a Barbie core theme and apparently

540
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: it's going to be the next big Hens party theme.

541
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: So it's obviously off the back. Because it's obviously off

542
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: the back of Margo Robbie's Barbie movie that's coming out,

543
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: And what I really like about the theme is you

544
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: can go really nineties and do that old school Barbie look,

545
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: or you can go a bit Barbie glam with pink sparkles.

546
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: And we really wanted to get a media wall that

547
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: looked like the Barbie box that they come in. They're

548
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: actually on Etsy. If anyone else is doing the theme, yeah, yeah, Well,

549
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: we'd love you to share any decoration ideas or any

550
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,959
Speaker 1: food ideas, anything like that. Please put them in our

551
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: Facebook group. So if how's your wedding planning going, well,

552
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: I just want to preface there was a review that

553
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: said we don't want to hear about your wedding planning anymore.

554
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: So if that is from you, fast forward, because there

555
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: is the preference to just not listen anyway. With my planning,

556
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: I haven't really done that much more. As I previously said,

557
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: I've locked in my venue. I am having it at Golding.

558
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: I have also locked in my videographer and photographer, but

559
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 1: I've sort of left it at that. But the thing

560
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: that is stumping me is the bride'smaid dresses because I

561
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: feel like the color of the bride'smaid dresses does dictate

562
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: the rest of the theme of the flowers and the

563
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: pajamas and everything else. And I absolutely loved Brooke Hogan's

564
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: yellow bridesmaid dresses, and yellow is my favorite color. I

565
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: always thought growing up I would have yellow bridesmaid dresses,

566
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: but it was also an element of yellow that seems

567
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: a bit garish. So I just don't know what to do,

568
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: and I do have a bit of time to play with,

569
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,959
Speaker 1: so I'm not quite sure. I think you've just got

570
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: to go with your gut, and I think you should

571
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: do yellow if you've always wanted to do it. Well,

572
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: the thing is, I really like the color that you're having,

573
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: because you're doing that sort of rose gold, pinky color,

574
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: and that's what I well, not rose. Well, how would

575
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: you describe it? What's the color? Well, it's cool. I'm

576
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: looking at the shown of Joy desert rose dress. Yeah,

577
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: I suppose it's a muted kind of dusty pink. Yeah,

578
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: And I love that color. I think that's what I

579
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 1: would do if you were not doing it. So that's

580
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: why I want to do something different. Yeah, I want

581
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: to say different. I don't want our weddings to all

582
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: look the same. The next question is what do you

583
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: think about Sarah's Day's latest giveaway having to pay for

584
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: one of her subscriptions to enter her giveaway comp I

585
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: have never seen an influencer or a business runner competition

586
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: in this way. It almost seemed very desperate to get

587
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: those subscriptions locked in, and I was quite shocked to

588
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: see that that was the method of competition they were doing.

589
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: I wondered whether it was within regulations, because there are

590
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: so many rules regarding competitions like these. I think there's

591
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: regulations around what you promote on Instagram, so I think

592
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: she probably need to add some information about this isn't

593
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: an affiliated competition through Instagram, which she didn't. I did

594
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: have a look at the t's and c's on her website.

595
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: They seemed pretty legit. I just thought that who the

596
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: hell is actually going to enter? They're not going to

597
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 1: have many entrants to choose from, because whenever I've tried

598
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: to run competitions through like professional sporting clubs, it's so

599
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: hard to get anyone to enter. If there are all

600
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: of these different things that the person needs to do,

601
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: you kind of need to make it as easy as

602
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: possible for someone to actually enter. That's if you're looking

603
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: for the competition to create reach where it just seems

604
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: like it's a money making thing for Sarah. But how

605
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: do you prove that you are subscribed? Do you send

606
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: a screenshot of your subscription? They probably look you up

607
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: on the database to see who wins. So then anyone

608
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: who is subscribed can win. As not actually a wave entering,

609
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: you just have to sign up recently, it doesn't really

610
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: make sense. Yeah, even existing subscribers are in with a

611
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: chance of winning, so they just automatically select a winner.

612
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: Imagine if you didn't even want this prize. You know,

613
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: you're subscribed to Drapeaker and suddenly you get this Sarah's Days.

614
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: Ultimately it's weekend away. Yeah, but you have to be

615
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: subscribed to body Bloom or her products through Tripeka. Okay,

616
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: when she was saying it was her biggest giveaway ever,

617
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: I was actually surprised at the prize. I'm not saying

618
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: it's the bad prize, but I thought it would be

619
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: a meet and greet with her or something involving her,

620
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: not just oh for my thirtieth birthday, you get two

621
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: thousand dollars and one night in a five star hotel.

622
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, okay, it's a pretty stock sound to giveaway. Well,

623
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: she's saying it's what she would be wanting to push

624
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: your birthday, but I've never seen her do anything like that.

625
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: It's clearly some marketing team has just come up with

626
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: the prize. The next question is what's your opinion on

627
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: fitness and wellness influencers who promote a healthy lifestyle but

628
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: use recreational drugs on the down low. I think it

629
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: is completely hypocritical, particularly when you come across influencers who

630
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: are talking about vaccine mandates and they're not putting poison

631
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: in their body, and you know, they share their day

632
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: on the plate and they specifically don't use certain products

633
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: because they might have chemicals or certain ingredients, and then

634
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: on the weekend they're snorting a line of coke. It

635
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: just seems very very hypocritical. Yeah, I hate it. Anyway,

636
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: I think that's probably all we've got time for today.

637
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: We do have a lot more questions, so maybe we'll

638
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: have to do part two of this episode. If you

639
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: did enjoy the show, please leave us a five star review.

640
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: So say if you can read it very late at

641
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: night and send it through. I would very much appreciate that,

642
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: and this podcast was recorded on Ghana land on the

643
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: Adelaide planes. We pay respect to their elders past and present,
