00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Coming up on today's show, Abby Chatfield calls out Megan

00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: Mark's ablest comments, Kurt Tills's red wine spon con Anastasia

Speaker 1: kings North falls in love with an iconic Aussie drink,

00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: and Madison Woolly's friendship tattoo. Hello and welcome to Outspoken.

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: It's your dose of the hottest influencer and pop culture

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: news twice a week. I'm Kate Torbert and I'm so

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: excited because my Christmas tree is finally up. It's the

8
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: first ever artificial tree I've ever had, and I am

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: very happy with it. And I've got a tip for you.

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: If you want to buy an expensive Christmas tree, bite

11
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: in the boxing day sales because you will forget how

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: much it costs. I had to go back and check

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: my email because this thing is massive. Well, we measured it,

14
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: remember when we're at Um and Dad's house, and we

15
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: worked out that it was about as wide as we

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: are tall. It is actually true because there's some really

17
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: floppy branches that are making it very wide. I'm so

18
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: envious because the past three years we've run a competition

19
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: on our Instagram for our listeners to pick who's Christmas

20
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: tree they like. The most and who's is the best?

21
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: And every year mine has won. And I'm starting to

22
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: feel a little bit nervous because your tree is so

23
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: much bigger than mine, it's so much fatter than mine.

24
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: The potential we're talking about tree, Yeah, the potential for

25
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: you to have a really wow Christmas tree is there.

26
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: I feel a bit of pressure because last year I

27
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: had a real tree and I redecorated it probably three

28
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: or four times. I mean, there was that instant where

29
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: it fell over. And yesterday I got my cousin Stewie,

30
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: who's what six foot five over to help me. It's

31
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: almost seven foot and I'm so glad he was there

32
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: because I was half contemplating putting the tree up myself,

33
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: but it's so tall I wouldn't have been able to

34
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: assemble it. I have to say my Christmas tree has

35
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: been up, I think for almost ten days now. I'm

36
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: so sorry for anyone who follows me, because all I've

37
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: been doing is spamming the shit out of it. And

38
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: I have to say, I don't mean to treat my

39
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: own horn, but I think I'm quite talented at decorating.

40
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: I've got a beautiful red, gold and white theme going on.

41
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: A bit of a candy Land theme as well. See

42
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: I like your theme, but I'm thinking I can't do

43
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: what you've done. And I was having a look at

44
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: some tree in Spo last night and I saw Ellie Watson,

45
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: also known as Elsa's Wholesome Life, and she did this

46
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: really cool theme which you've already said you don't like.

47
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: But maybe I need to ask the listeners. It's got

48
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: like bronzed blobos, but it's kind of like a snowy wood.

49
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: I I'm telling you now, Kate, you need to listen

50
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: to us, because one year you bought those feathery birds

51
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: that were so ugly and do not belong on a tree.

52
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: You also did a pink theme no offense and any

53
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: listeners who have it, but you just didn't execute it well.

54
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: I like to think it outside the square a bit.

55
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I do like the traditional Christmas stuff, but

56
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: I but you've got it. I don't want mine to

57
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: look exactly like yours do not. My guilty pleasure is

58
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: at the moment it's watching influences put up they're trees.

59
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: I have loved watching a whole bunch of UK influencers

60
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: because their trees are better than ours. Oh my gosh,

61
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: Saffron Barker, I'm so passionate about this flog. It was

62
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: a very enjoyable vlog, except she made made a grave mistake.

63
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: I think she ordered a bows Hill tree and she

64
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: got her at mum to put it up. They bought.

65
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: It's her first tree in her new house, and she

66
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: decided to go with a rainbow theme, which I thought

67
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: was very brave because you don't normally see influences doing

68
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: bright themes. And she bought some beautiful babbles. They put

69
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: up the tree, but she wasn't happy with it, so

70
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: that day she went and bought a you know, a

71
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: deal of a tree, run of the mill, crappy, snowy

72
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: one department store tree, no offense, that is nowhere near

73
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: as good as the bows Hill one she had, And

74
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: now she's like, oh, I love it, but do you

75
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: notice that tree is like the exact same one as

76
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: her parents have, So I feel like that's her childhood tree.

77
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: I felt personally attacked though when I watched that blog.

78
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: I was sitting down with my tree lit up, watching

79
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: this very Christmas evevlog, and I was like, how the

80
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: fuck does she not like Bowsam Hill. It's the best

81
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: tree I've ever seen. It looked so much better. I

82
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: am interested to see if she does swap the tree,

83
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: because I agreed the green tree would look so much

84
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: better with the rainbow than the snowy tree. I'd love

85
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: if listeners sent in what they're Christmas trees are looking on.

86
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: Let's put a thread in our Facebook community, because I

87
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: feel like women in particularly get very proud of their tree.

88
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: Hey, queen, thank you so much for this unfounded, invalid,

89
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: and ablest opinion.

90
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: Abby Chatfield has slammed Meghan Marx's comments about ADHD. The

91
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: podcast host labeled the remarks as ablest after Meghan called

92
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: ADHD a trend and suggested influences were using ADHD medication

93
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: as a weight loss drug. Now, Sophie, can you fill

94
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: us in on Abby and Meghan's relationship? Yeah, well, Abby

95
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: and Meghan both appeared on the Bachelor, but in different series,

96
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: So if you cast your mind back to a couple

97
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: of years ago, Meghan was on Richie's series of the Bachelor,

98
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: and he, if you don't remember, was the redheaded guy

99
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: who always said cool bananas. And she also ran off

100
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: with a contestant on the show with Tiffany and I

101
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: remember all the time. I think it was actually in

102
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: probably twenty fifteen that it was such a big shock. Definitely.

103
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: I don't think Abby Chatfield needs any sort of introduction.

104
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: She has her own podcast, she's taken over the television land,

105
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: She's been hosting so many shows anyway. Abby and Meghan

106
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: have both been appearing a lot in the media lately,

107
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: as in their two names have been put side by

108
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: side because Meghan is currently appearing on The Challenge alongside

109
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: Abby Chatfield's ex boyfriend and also Bachelor alumni Conrad b

110
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: and Stevens. So Abby was forced to confirm her breakup

111
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: with Conrad when photos of Conrad and Meghan were leaked

112
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: from the Challenge of the pair kissing in a spa. Now,

113
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: Conrad was recently interviewed on The Handbags podcast and confirmed

114
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: he and Abby had split before he appeared on the Challenge.

115
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: It's a side note. Have you seen that the Challenge

116
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: has been axed from major away on some back channel

117
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: because literally nobody was watching it. Well, I think it's

118
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: been put on at a later time slot. And guy

119
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: listened to the interview on the Handbags with Conrad and

120
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: he was literally plugging the show so much, and he

121
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: was talking about how in the most recent episode is

122
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: very explosive and he actually had to have counseling after it.

123
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: So we think that this is why Megan Marx is

124
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: popping her head up and trying to be relevant and

125
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: cause drama. Well, we should get into what Meghan actually said. Well,

126
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: I agree with Sophie. That was the first thing I

127
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: thought of when she decided to put up an unpopular

128
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: opinions box on her Instagram. I don't think anything comes

129
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: good from those sorts of things. So for those who

130
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: haven't seen this shit storm, Megan was asked by a

131
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: follower if she believed ADHD was a fad amongst influencers now.

132
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: Megan agreed that she thought there's a possibility it could

133
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: be a bit of a trend and suggested that some

134
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: people's ADHD symptoms were brought on by environmental factors like

135
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: being overstimulated on social media. And then she went on

136
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: to question who doesn't have a problem with concentrating and

137
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: said as a society that we need to address why

138
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 1: we aren't concentrating. She also said this.

139
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 3: Did not realize that my talk about ADHD had cut out,

140
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 3: So I'm going to finish my trade of thought. I

141
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 3: was saying that it's interesting so many of these influencers

142
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: have lost quite a little bit of weight and they're

143
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 3: not talking about it. I do think that's interesting. ADHD

144
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 3: medication is basically math.

145
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 4: And you lose your appetite, and these influence has been like,

146
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: how can dare you ask me about that? They're very

147
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 4: happy to talk about being on medication, happy to talk

148
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 4: about ADHD, but they don't want to talk about the

149
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 4: fact the lost weight because of their medication. And I

150
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 4: think that's problematic too.

151
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: And if that's not unbelievable enough. In the caption on

152
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: her story, she wrote that ADHD medication was the new

153
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,559
Speaker 1: influencer drugs. As soon as I saw these stories pop up,

154
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: I knew they were aimed at Abby Chatfield because Abby has

155
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: been talking about weight loss recently. Yeah, we spoke about

156
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: it on our podcast a couple of weeks ago, because

157
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: she has been copying a lot of comments saying your

158
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: body is shrinking? Are you becoming a new Kardashian? And

159
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: she was very careful to not exactly touch on why

160
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: she has lost a lot of weight, And it's quite

161
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: clear now it is from her ADHD medication. Well, she

162
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: kind of did hint on her podcast last month that

163
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: there was a connection to her weight loss in ADHD medication,

164
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: without specifically spelling it out. She said, I'm also a

165
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: medication for ADHD. It's been great for my ADHD, but

166
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: less great for my appetite and me remembering to eat.

167
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: I'm having a really hard time eating food because I'm

168
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: extremely nauseous when I eat food. See when I listen

169
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: to that podcast, I did not pick up on that

170
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: at all. And I think, Sophie, what you were saying

171
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: before is that she purposely didn't put the link between

172
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: her weight loss and her ADHD medication because she doesn't

173
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: want that out there. She doesn't want to promote it

174
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: to others. And I think it's a very unhelpful thing

175
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: that Megan Marx has now put out there, because I

176
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't have made that connection at all. I mean, if anything,

177
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: we've spoken about the heroin chic era coming back in

178
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: and the Kardashians losing weight, and this size zero unfortunately

179
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: seems to be coming back. I never, even in my

180
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: wildest dreams, connected eighty with it, and now I think, well,

181
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there are going to be like,

182
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: well I've got a few of those symptoms, maybe I

183
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: actually go on ADHD medication. But again, I think it's

184
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: important to point out, and this is where Abby's response

185
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: comes in, that ADHD isn't something that you can just

186
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: go to a doctor and they just give you medications

187
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: straight away. Abby spoke a lot about how you know,

188
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: it's a very long process. You actually have to go

189
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: to a GP, then a psychiatrist. It took her eighteen

190
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: months to finally get diagnosed with ADHD. Now, Abby did

191
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: really clap back at Megan, so she branded Meghan's opinion

192
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: on ADHD as unfounded, invalid, and ablest And as you said, Kate,

193
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: she said it was offensive to call ADHD a trend

194
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: and pointed out how difficult it actually is to get

195
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: a diagnosis and also medicated. For example, she said it

196
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: cost her one thy five hundred dollars and took eighteen

197
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: months for her to finally get her hands on some

198
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: medication that she really needed. And you can see how

199
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: TikTok has made such a big impact on ADHD diagnosis

200
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: because the hashtag ADHD has over two point four billion views,

201
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: and of course it's been a really great thing for

202
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: spreading awareness and building a community and also destigmatizing the disorder.

203
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: But there's also a big downside because TikTok has been

204
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: accused of perpetuating stereotypes and allowing unqualified people to have

205
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: a big platform. That's a thing cave that's very complex,

206
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: and there are definitely a lot of different layers to it.

207
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 1: I think one thing that's been really positive about social

208
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: media is that now more women are getting diagnosed, because

209
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: before a lot of people thought that it was only

210
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: naughty young boys who had ADHD. But we're learning that

211
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: there's so many different symptoms and also things that can

212
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: be As Abby said, people superpower because, as Abby said,

213
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: if she didn't have her ADHD, she probably wouldn't be

214
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: as good at her job as she is because she's

215
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: very passionate, very focused on things, loves looking into things.

216
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: And that's really the reason why everyone was up in

217
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: arms when Meghan came out and said this stuff, because

218
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: people have put in such hard work to destigmatize ADHD,

219
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: and for her to come out and say, oh, it's

220
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: just a trend and people are putting it on completely

221
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: derails what everyone's been working hard to do. I feel

222
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: like we have to throw to some of the grabs

223
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: by Abby because she was on fire. Here's what she said.

224
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 4: Are you fucking serious?

225
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 2: That is the most deeply discussed that is so, who

226
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 2: the fuck do you think you are saying that people

227
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: are owed an explanation for anyone's weight loss or weight gain.

228
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: If anyone's changing their own body, Who the fuck are you?

229
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: Why would people need to? It's funny how us stick

230
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 2: out medication where they won't think about their weight loss. Yeah, babe,

231
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 2: because people are trying to destigmatize medication for mental health issues,

232
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: so it's important to see a medication. It's important to

233
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: figure out what you're fucking doing. If you feel comfortable,

234
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 2: no one has to tell you anything, particularly why they've

235
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: lost weight. No one owes you fucking anything.

236
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: Now, on a twist we didn't see coming, Meghan responded

237
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: to Abby's video saying that she actually herself has been

238
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: diagnosed with ADHD and is medicated now. Abby responded saying

239
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: that this made Meghan's behavior even worse, as she should

240
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: be more understanding and should stop using her public platform

241
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: to push myths and falsehoods. This was the biggest what

242
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: the fuck moment because I feel like Meghan almost kept

243
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: her diagnosis up her sleeve to almost throw in the

244
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: face of those when they called her out. It's almost like, oh,

245
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: it's okay, I can say what I want because I

246
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: actually do have ADHD as well. But it's weird because

247
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: she's an influencer and she's saying all the influences are

248
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: just claiming it, and then claims it after the fact.

249
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: She's also someone who is very thin and fit looking. Well,

250
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: she actually know how difficult it is to get her

251
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: hands on medication. Yeah, and how long the diagnosis takes.

252
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: It's all very odd. Now in the media, everyone has

253
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: been pitying Megan and Abby against each other, and that's

254
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: because of the backstory and the fact that Conrad did

255
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: hook up with Megan after he and Abby broke up.

256
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: And Abby has come out and said, can media outlets

257
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: stop calling me? Calling out Megan Marx about her ableism

258
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: and her weird comments about ADHD a feud. It's not

259
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: a feud. I called someone out. I don't have a

260
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: personal issue with her. I have an issue with what

261
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: she said that leads me to think things about her character.

262
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: I agree with what Abby said, and also I want

263
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: to defend Abby in this situation because she wasn't the

264
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: one who started the said feud. I feel like Meghan

265
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: targeted her, probably for relevance, and also for the fact

266
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: that she's trying to pump up this failed reality show

267
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: and get eyeballs on her and her Instagram. Everyone on

268
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: the challenge was probably hoping that their instagrams are going

269
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: to blow up more because they were appearing on this

270
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: show that was supposed to be good, complete flop. I agree.

271
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: I think Megan is just piggybacking off Abby's fame and

272
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: trying to stay relevant and trying to get eyeballs on

273
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: this TV show that no one is interested in. I

274
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: was half interested to check it out when Conrad was

275
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: spooking that it was going to be something big, but

276
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: I feel like it's done. It's dash, Like if I

277
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: haven't watched the first episode, I'm just not going to

278
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: be tuning in. I'm like that with Love Island. I've

279
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: had a lot of people message saying, oh, why aren't

280
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: you guys watching Love Island Australia this year, and I

281
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: feel like, once you have missed that initial episode in

282
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: your I tried watching it and it's shit. Some people

283
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: told me how good it was. No, I think it's okay,

284
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: but it's just I don't know. I just like the

285
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: English version of way better. Just there's something about the Aussies.

286
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: It's kind of like if you grow up watching the

287
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: English version of Office and you can't watch the American

288
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: version or vice versa, because I know a lot of

289
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: people love the American version. It's like that you have

290
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: to have to be a fan of one. What's interesting

291
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: about the challenge flopping is that all of these people

292
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: have huge social media followings. They've obviously been brought into

293
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: the show to try and get young people watching free

294
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: to air TV again, and this is the same approach

295
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: it looks like the project will be taking when they

296
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: get their new hosts. So there's been rumors that maybe

297
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: they'll get Abby Chatfield or Laura Burn, but it's kind

298
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: of shown that it's not really a surefire thing to

299
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: get raided. The whole thing is that they've just got

300
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of has beens and washed up reality

301
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: stars who were on TV about six years ago. That's

302
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: why they didn't bring Bachelor and Paradise back. But this

303
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: the challenge is almost like a rehash version. I feel

304
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: like more people would have watched Bachelor in Paradise than

305
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: the challenge.

306
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 5: So that was my drunken tattoo story.

307
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: Madison Woolley has revealed she got inked on a drunken

308
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: night out with her friend. She told her followers she

309
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: tried to keep the tattoo a secret from her conservative parents,

310
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: but they heard about it on her podcast. Now, Amy,

311
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: can you tell us about this tattoo because I feel

312
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: like there's a bit of a backstory. Yeah, so the

313
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: tattoo is a small sea on her ankle. God, I'm

314
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: already picturing what this is about. Well, she was pretty

315
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: cryptic on YouTube about the meaning behind it. She just

316
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: told her followers it was an in joke with her friends.

317
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: I almost feel like that's worse because like, oh, I

318
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: just think of the sea word. So did I? Because

319
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: when you think of you think of the sea word,

320
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: and then people have that joke what's low than a C?

321
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: And that's an ankle?

322
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: What was that?

323
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 4: Just?

324
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: Our dad? Remember our dad used to joking. Our dad

325
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: didn't make that? Uh oh okay, that's reference to one

326
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: of Kate's ex boyfriends. So pretty that's where that comes from.

327
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: So Madison opened up on her podcast to her best

328
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: friend Caitlin Rodriguez, and she said, this sea actually stood

329
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: for the word cleo. So let's throw to a grab

330
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: of what cleo means because it is a little confusing.

331
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 5: I was really worried. I was gonna wake up in

332
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 5: the morning and be like, what the fuck? But I

333
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 5: kind of had fun. I think it was it's life experience.

334
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, well for reference, so it was our other friend Cleo.

335
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: My name is not actually Cleo, that's just but her

336
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: name is Cleo.

337
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 5: We have this nickname in our friendship group called Cleo.

338
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 6: Cleo.

339
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, so we just call everyone Cleo. Does not make anything,

340
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 5: doesn't make any sense. Everyone's called Cleo. But our friend

341
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 5: Live is like the Moorst Cleo.

342
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 6: Yeah she is, She's Cleo. But our whole friend group

343
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 6: is the Cleos. Yeah, we're all Cleo. But if like

344
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 6: lives there, she's the only one you can call Cleo

345
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 6: because she's Cleo.

346
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so weird, it doesn't make sense.

347
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 5: So I was with my girlfriend Live and we got

348
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 5: tattoos of a little sea Cleo.

349
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: Or no Cleo. I feel like this is an in

350
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: joke that's not gonna date. Well, like, you know those

351
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: things you think are really funny at the time, and

352
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: then that's tattooed on your body forever. She basically said,

353
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: it's a friendship tattoo. So that's why she got the sea.

354
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: Her friend Live also got the sea, and this came

355
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: as a real sea, yeah, binking cock. So this all

356
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: came as a bit of a surprise to Madison's friend Caitlin,

357
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: because she said she never thought in her wildest dreams

358
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: she'd see the day that Madison Wooly got inked. It

359
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of when Kim Kardashian was interviewed

360
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: on like The Late Show and like do you have

361
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: a tattoo? And she's like, why would I put a

362
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: bumper sticker on a Bentley. When she first announced she

363
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: got the tattoo on O vlog, I was thinking, oh fuck,

364
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: I hope it's not a matching tattoo with her ex

365
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: partner Jonathan, who she's rumored to be back with, because

366
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: he has all these new, random little tattoos all over

367
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: him and they're those sort of fine line tattoos that

368
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: are very in fashion. He's got a butterfly in the

369
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: middle of his arm, So I was expecting it to

370
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: be one of them. Thank God it's a friendship tattoo.

371
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: I almost feel like it's just as dangerous getting a

372
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: friendship tattoo when you're in your early twenties, because it's

373
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 1: such a tumultuous time that you sometimes don't keep those friends. Well,

374
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: it was obviously a spare of the moment decision because Caitlyn, Yeah, well,

375
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: Caitlyn told their listeners that Madison got drunk with their

376
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: friend live in Surrey Hills and then wandered down to

377
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: the tattoo parlor that's called the Illustrated Man, and they

378
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: do tattoos for about one hundred dollars. This is really

379
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: a hot spot for anyone who gets drunk and wants

380
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: a tattoo. But Madison's told Caitlyn that she now needs

381
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: to get the Sea tattoo because it is, of course

382
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 1: a friendship tattoo. However, Caitlyn seemed annoyed that they'd got

383
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: the Sea. She said that they thought she should have

384
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: got an outline of a spicy market. I think this

385
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: would have been way cooler. Well, that reminds me, there's

386
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: all of these pop up events in like influencer events,

387
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: and they were doing those fine line tattoos. I feel

388
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: like Lily Brown got a little chilly she did, and

389
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: that's now obviously her pajama line is called chill. Yeah,

390
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: well that makes more sense. Why didn't she get something

391
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: about with her own brand? You don't really want your

392
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 1: own name tattooed onto you. I would feel a bit

393
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: offended though, if my friends went out without me and

394
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: got these friendship tattoos. It's sort of like you're the

395
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: odd one out. What friendship tattoo? Do you think we

396
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: would all get outspoken the podcast tattooed across?

397
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 4: That?

398
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: Would? That be the only tattoo I would ever consider

399
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: getting is one of my dog Archie, like a really

400
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: tiny little archie on me, like a name, actually not

401
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: his name, but like a cute little cocker spaniel. I

402
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: feel like that's more something you do when the animals

403
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: passed away. But I'm just saying, like, I don't know,

404
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 1: if you go around with it on you, you know,

405
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: when you've already got the door, I know what we get.

406
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: I would get a little tiny fifty cent piece because

407
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: for the fitty crew, which is our cousins. How do

408
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: you feel after you drink Alco? Because we both do

409
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: not drink alcohol anymore. I'm a grandma. We used to.

410
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: I was a bit more.

411
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: I was a party boy.

412
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 5: You well, yeah, when we first met, I thought you

413
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 5: were just a pure party boy and I was like,

414
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 5: this boy is going to get bored of me real fast.

415
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: Content creator Kurt Tills has sparked debate after sharing a

416
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: pay post promoting a mini wine fridge. The husband of

417
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: wellness influencer Sarah's Day has previously said he doesn't drink

418
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: so who is the sponsorship with? Well? The sponsor in

419
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: question is LG Australia, and Kurt appears to be a

420
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: longtime brand ambassador for them. He's done a number of

421
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: other posts promoting their products, and in the post, Kurt

422
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: uploaded a photo of him looking very moody with a

423
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: glass of red wine in his hand. He also uploaded

424
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: a photo of the black LG mini wine fridge in

425
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: his kitchen, which I think will be swiftly removed by

426
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: Sarah because it doesn't quite fit the aesthetics of their house.

427
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen a black appliance in

428
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: their house. Well, excuse my ignorance, but I didn't think

429
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: red wine needed to be in a fridge exactly. It's

430
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: only wine. And it makes it even more clear that

431
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: Kurt doesn't drink alcohol, for the fact that he was

432
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: trying to promote putting red wine in a cool fridge now.

433
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: In the caption, Kurt wrote, there is a level of

434
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: sophistication that comes with a glass of red wine in

435
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: an attempt to impress my mates. One day my dream

436
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: of owning a vineyard will be a reality. For now,

437
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: I'll be here with my LG Australia nine bottle mini

438
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: wine fridge. I don't understand the jibe about trying to

439
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: impress his friends because Kurt has spoken about on his

440
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: podcast and also in Sarah's vlogs about how he chose

441
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: not to drink alcohol and that I mean he used

442
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: to drink previously to meeting Sarah, and it seems like

443
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: Sarah has influenced him, you know, not to drink alcohol,

444
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: which I think is a positive there. Well, it is

445
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: quite clear that he used to be a big party boy,

446
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,959
Speaker 1: as Sarah would say, and he has spoken on his

447
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: podcast how he used to very heavily drink. He was

448
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: into party drugs and when he met Sarah he stopped

449
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: drinking altogether as a healthy lifestyle choice. Yeah, that's why

450
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: I thought the comment about attempting to impress his friends

451
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: was weird because just buyers into peer pressure, which I

452
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: think at thirty years old you would hopefully be over.

453
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: It is an odd one because I feel like Sarah

454
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: and Kurt have very much built a brand about leading

455
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: a healthy lifestyle and not drinking. If anything, I'd think

456
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: that they'd be promoting non alcoholic products. There seems to

457
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: be quite a big area of growth there and a

458
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: lot of money to be made there. Oh. I totally agree,

459
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: And I found it very surprising when I heard that

460
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: LG was a long standing partner with Kurt, because any

461
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: PR manager should be doing their due diligence and think, Okay,

462
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: hang on, this isn't a great fit. Because Kurt has

463
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: come out and said that he doesn't drink. I have

464
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: noticed that he and Sarah are trying to tweak their

465
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: brand a little bit online because I've noticed in the

466
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: last couple of years Sarah has spoken about how she

467
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: had a couple of glasses of red wine at her

468
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: sister's wedding, and she's trying to move away from the

469
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: very clean eating because her app Sonny, which is a

470
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: food app that has recipes that are gluten free, dairy

471
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: freeun free, fun free, taste free. She's now trying to

472
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: deviate a little bit because she is eating a bit

473
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: more gluten since her Pregnantcy's like, oh, I might be

474
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: adding a few more gluten recipes in there. The thing

475
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: that I don't get, though, is the ad is for

476
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: the wine fridge. So there are so many non alcoholic

477
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: options out there now that they could have had some

478
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: fun with her and injected his lifestyle and his personality

479
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: because you still can put a non alcoholic drink in

480
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: a fridge. Will you see Olivia Rodgers promoting a whole

481
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: bunch of beautiful non alcoholic options. It would have made

482
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: a lot more sense even to have a bit of

483
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: a joke around saying I no longer drink, but I

484
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: still use this fridge and when I'm so cool and

485
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: when my friends come over, they can put, you know,

486
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: get a friend in the adelaide. Yeah, Brenton, Yeah, I

487
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 1: did have quite a fun time reading through the comments

488
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: under this post because there were a lot of confused followers.

489
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: Even his wife Sarah joke that it wasn't on brand

490
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: for Kurt. So she wrote under the post, that's just

491
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: a heat tablespoon of body bloom, right. And for those

492
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: who don't know, she's trying to plug one of her

493
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: healthy drink products that she does through Tripeka. So Kurt

494
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: replied underneath that's why my digestin feels so good. That

495
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: is such an awkward comment because the fact that his

496
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: wife is saying, oh my god, it's so odd for

497
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: you to be drinking wine. Yeah. Well. Another follower wrote,

498
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: that's just red cordial in a glass to look fancy, right,

499
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: to which he responded, I'm just trying to get a

500
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: sugar high. So even he's mocking it, it's so weird.

501
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: Another follower wrote, why a sponsorship for a wine fridge

502
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: when both of you don't drink, just saying. Another person

503
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: also wrote underneath probably the easiest ten k he's ever made.

504
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,479
Speaker 1: That's why laugh out loud. Don't blame him. I have

505
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: to continue with the comments because there was some classic ones.

506
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: Someone wrote, you want to own a vineyard and you

507
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: only drink now and then question mark. Someone else said,

508
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: I thought Sarah didn't let you drink. This was probably

509
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: the comment of the day. Someone wrote was that the

510
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: only corner SD allowed you to put that unesthetic fridge

511
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: down for an ad. Kurt actually did respond though, to

512
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: some of the questions where people asked whether he drunk

513
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: or not, he said, I have a drink here and there,

514
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: but I rarely have more than two. There was also

515
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: a bit of back and forth with another set of comments.

516
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: Someone else wrote, do you even know the difference between

517
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: Shiraz and Merlow? Weird as you don't really drink now.

518
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: Carlin from The Bachelor, who now strangely works with Kurt

519
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: and Sarah's business house of Grom's chimed in and said

520
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: weird flex but okay. Kurt then replied, someone sounds a

521
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: little passionate about wine now. It just was so awkward

522
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: because this whole comment section was just talking about how

523
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: the fact he didn't drink and why the hell was

524
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: he doing a sponsorship with LG. If I was the brand,

525
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: I would not be happy with this. No. I mean,

526
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: clearly the post got engagement, but all for the wrong reasons.

527
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: I really hope the PR manager actually looks into what

528
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: the comments were and not just the fact that it

529
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,719
Speaker 1: built up engagement, because I do not think that this

530
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: is good publicity for the fridge. It reminds me of

531
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: when Sarah's Day was caught out doing a sponsorship with

532
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: JHD and the timing was so bad because she'd just

533
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: been saying how her hair was really damaged and she

534
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: was staying away from heat tools, and she had done

535
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: a whole YouTube video about trying to do the curly

536
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: Girl hair method and then all of a sudden she

537
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: was flogging off hair straighters on her channel. It's just

538
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,959
Speaker 1: not a good look and it does look like a

539
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: cash grab. I know a lot of the time people say, oh,

540
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: everything influencers post is a cash grab, but I feel

541
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: like these days influencers are really trying to work with

542
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: brands that actually align with them, and they've want to

543
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: look for Gooon and Gooon is like a really cheap

544
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: wine that.

545
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 4: They show hair in Australia and everyone's gon taying to

546
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 4: she needs you need to try to do.

547
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: It's somewhat like four or five pound high uniters.

548
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 4: Which is prodicular, but we're going to get some of

549
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 4: the crazy rilings.

550
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: Bring your own drinks You're heart by drinking on the

551
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: iron How to take your own on UK. YouTuber Anastasia

552
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: kings North has been taking her followers along the journey

553
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: as she and her friend's backpack around Australia, and she's

554
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: had a bit to say about an iconic Aussie drink. Yeah,

555
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: so the drink in question is, of course, goon, and

556
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 1: Anastasia said that a lot of backpackers she's with have

557
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: recommended the drink because, as all Oussie is, no, it's

558
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: incredibly cheap. Now, Anastasia got a little bit confused because

559
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: she thought goon was the type of alcohol. As most

560
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: ausy listeners will know, goon is the general name for

561
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: a cask of wine or boxed wine that's very cheap.

562
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: Do you know. I was doing some googling before because

563
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, why is it goon? And I can't actually

564
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: find an answer. It says it's a bit of a mystery,

565
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: so if anyone does know. But apparently someone who is

566
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: a typical drinker of goon is called a goon monkey.

567
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: A goon monkey, I ever heard of that before? Well,

568
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: I love the fact that Anastasia clearly went into a

569
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 1: BWS and said, can I have some goon thinking it

570
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: was the actual name of the drink. Can you imagine

571
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: it in the English accent as well? Someone would just

572
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: be like, uh, okay, it's pretty funny because on her

573
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: YouTube channel she was referring to it as the goon God.

574
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: That's when you can tell she's not a local. Well,

575
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: it blew my mind too, because she's also been trying

576
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: a lot of Ossy food that's in the supermarkets and

577
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: she'd never heard of shapes before. She's like, oh, what

578
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: are these really? Look all the flavors now. I felt

579
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: so proud, a proud Ossy seeing our shapes being broadcast

580
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: all of the Brits back home. Well, she's also tested

581
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: out the Ossie McDonald's, and I always enjoy her seeing

582
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 1: eating the English McDonald's because they seem to have so

583
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: many more exciting things. But I remember before her trip

584
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: she's like, ooh, I want to make sure I try

585
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: out their Christmas menu. Love we don't have one. There

586
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,479
Speaker 1: ain't one. Well, on that topic, I'm sure a lot

587
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: of people will be enjoying some goon this weekend. Maybe

588
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: not our listener base, who's mainly mums. I love our

589
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: topics have been about goon and a wine fridge. Yeah,

590
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,400
