Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the
Speaker 1: hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm
Speaker 1: Kate Torbert and I'm joined by my sisters and journalists
Speaker 1: Amy and Sophie. Now we're recording this episode on a
Speaker 1: public holiday, and we really wanted to get something out there,
Speaker 1: so we've decided to do a Q and A. And
Speaker 1: there's a lot of juicy questions and there's some big
Speaker 1: news that we first need to cover. Yet, we have
Speaker 1: been receiving a lot of questions about what is going
Speaker 1: on with Olivia Rogers. So she is a former Miss
Speaker 1: Universe for those who aren't aware, So basically she hasn't
Speaker 1: been online for a couple of weeks. She's been very absent,
Speaker 1: which has raised a lot of suspicion as to what
Speaker 1: is going on. So she put out a statement a
Speaker 1: couple of days ago. She wrote, I know I've been
Speaker 1: quite on here recently. Thank you to everyone who has
Speaker 1: reached out to me and checked in. I'm not quite
Speaker 1: ready to share what's been going on just yet, and
Speaker 1: I might still be quite on here for the next
Speaker 1: little while. I'll still be posting here and there, and
Speaker 1: so appreciate your support. Lots of love live so over
Speaker 1: the weekend, Olivia very so utterly changed her last name
Speaker 1: back to her maiden name on Instagram. So when she
Speaker 1: married Justin back in February, she changed her last name
Speaker 1: to McKean. Now, you were probably the first person to
Speaker 1: notice this, or I got a message from you very
Speaker 1: early on Saturday. So on what was actually Sunday. So
Speaker 1: on Sunday morning, I was browsing Instagram and I was
Speaker 1: actually looking for some wedding makeup inspo, and of course
Speaker 1: Olivia looked absolutely stuning on your wedding day. So I
Speaker 1: was having a look at her Instagram to try and
Speaker 1: I remember there was like a before and after of
Speaker 1: her makeup, and I saw that it said Olivia mckinn
Speaker 1: and I was kind of wondering what was going on
Speaker 1: with her after that statement, A lot of there was
Speaker 1: a lot of speculation out there. I then, probably an
Speaker 1: hour later, then revisited her page and noticed that it
Speaker 1: had been changed back to Olivia Rodgers. And earlier in
Speaker 1: the week she'd also unpinned the wedding photos, and a
Speaker 1: lot of people were sort of speculating about that. I
Speaker 1: honestly thought nothing of it. Well, I thought nothing of
Speaker 1: it because they recently went to New York. I think
Speaker 1: it was back in August. They looked like they had
Speaker 1: the time of their lives and they are such a
Speaker 1: beautiful couple. They started in twenty eighteen when they first met,
Speaker 1: they seem to instantly hit it off. We've actually been
Speaker 1: involved in a shoot where Olivia and her husband were
Speaker 1: filming for Burnside Village and they just were beautiful together.
Speaker 1: They seemed like. This has shocked me to my core.
Speaker 1: This is true, and so we're obviously recording this on Monday,
Speaker 1: and it's just come out The Herald Sun and have
Speaker 1: reported Olivia Molly Rodgers has split from her husband Justin
Speaker 1: McKean after tying they're not earlier this year. Now. I
Speaker 1: clicked on this article immediately thinking that maybe Olivia has
Speaker 1: come out and confirmed the split, but there's been nothing
Speaker 1: of the sort. Well, it's bizarre, and I was assuming
Speaker 1: that they would have mentioned something about Ossie influencer updates
Speaker 1: as recent posts. So last night I was pretty shocked because,
Speaker 1: as I said, I'd noticed the name change, but morally
Speaker 1: I didn't really want to comment on it because I
Speaker 1: think that that's Olivia's news to report on and to
Speaker 1: share it, particularly because it seems like it's very raw
Speaker 1: at the moment. However, obviously that Instagram account was receiving
Speaker 1: a lot of dms from people that also noticed the
Speaker 1: name change, so she reported that well, she basically did
Speaker 1: a screenshot saying about the name change, and she also
Speaker 1: shared that some super sleuths had come across Olivia's Spotify
Speaker 1: list and had noticed that she started adding a lot
Speaker 1: of breakup songs like Adele Miley Cyrus slide Away, So
Speaker 1: people are putting two and two together. But this article
Speaker 1: didn't mention any of that, and they didn't quote anyone.
Speaker 1: So I am assuming from a pr perspective that maybe
Speaker 1: Olivia's manager has actually confirmed the news of the record,
Speaker 1: but just does not want to provide any further comment
Speaker 1: on it. Also, no shade to influence updates, because we
Speaker 1: were really unsure whether to post something as well. And
Speaker 1: I think it's almost you're kind of waiting for someone
Speaker 1: to post about it because we were getting so many
Speaker 1: messages about it. There's obviously a lot of interest because
Speaker 1: it is somewhat of a public relationship. She got married
Speaker 1: in February. I mean, I know, we did a big
Speaker 1: segment on Olivia's wedding because it was so beautiful and
Speaker 1: she had waited so long to get married. So I
Speaker 1: think we're all feeling really devastated for her. They're all
Speaker 1: invested in this relationship, and Olivia is one of those
Speaker 1: people that just comes across as so kind and caring,
Speaker 1: and I feel like we're all worried about what's happening.
Speaker 1: I really feel for Olivia, and I also think there's
Speaker 1: extra interest because Olivia and Justin have been involved in
Speaker 1: different fashion campaigns. They're very much seen as a couple
Speaker 1: and they're very much a Melbourne power. And I think
Speaker 1: the thing is that you see all of these loved up,
Speaker 1: perfect images because they're both stunning people on Instagram, and
Speaker 1: it does really show that, you know, you can't believe
Speaker 1: everything that is on Instagram. I think it's one of
Speaker 1: those light bulb moments. I know there's a lot of
Speaker 1: talk about, oh, if your relationship is online, it mustn't
Speaker 1: be that great, and of course there are instances where
Speaker 1: that is not true. But I did really feel that
Speaker 1: because I mean, you look at their lives and they've
Speaker 1: just come back from the US on this amazing trip
Speaker 1: that's like jealous of. And there's obviously all these things
Speaker 1: going on that no one knew about, so and they've
Speaker 1: got to just be kind to people as well. And
Speaker 1: their wedding looked incredible as well. You're talking about picture
Speaker 1: perfect wedding. If you saw those two, they're just a
Speaker 1: picture perfect bride and groom. Can I just going back
Speaker 1: to these media reports though, as you say, I don't
Speaker 1: actually know how they can publish this as fact. We're
Speaker 1: obviously speculating at the moment because we all don't know
Speaker 1: exactly what has happened until Olivia or justin come out
Speaker 1: and say something. Obviously it's not looking great at the moment.
Speaker 1: It's tip them off. You can take someone off, but
Speaker 1: you still have to say, like there's speculation. Even the
Speaker 1: Daily Mail didn't report it as fact, but the Herald
Speaker 1: Son and the advertisers they've obviously got a friend of
Speaker 1: hers or a friend manager. I think that they would
Speaker 1: say a source. A source says they have no because
Speaker 1: I'm not going off much or they're going off is
Speaker 1: the name. They're hardly going to get suit decimation if
Speaker 1: they know, they would have found out from a very
Speaker 1: reputable source. That this is what's going on. And I
Speaker 1: think we will probably hear a statement from Olivia in
Speaker 1: a couple of days time, when she's had a bit
Speaker 1: more time to process it, because as you can imagine
Speaker 1: she's having to go through, you'll assume a lot at
Speaker 1: the moment, and it would be very hard to be
Speaker 1: processing this all in the public eye. It's interesting wording though,
Speaker 1: as well. Olivia has has split from her husband, as
Speaker 1: if she's made the decision to break up. I mean,
Speaker 1: she is the more famous person, though I don't know
Speaker 1: the thing is, I mean, I don't want to speculate,
Speaker 1: which is exactly what I'm doing here, but the songs
Speaker 1: that she added to her playlist, and also the fact
Speaker 1: that she's changed her name back, I would assume it
Speaker 1: feels like something bad it has happened to her. I
Speaker 1: hate the fact that people have found her playlist, though,
Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, obviously, we're all human, we
Speaker 1: all want to know what's happening. But can you imagine
Speaker 1: you're going through this potentially shock split and you're just
Speaker 1: trying to get over it by listening to music, and
Speaker 1: you kind of never want people to see what you're
Speaker 1: listening to. It's be embarrassed she deleted it because I
Speaker 1: saw I google it. I looked it up on Spotify
Speaker 1: after to see how easy it was to look at
Speaker 1: and it had gone well. I just really hope that
Speaker 1: Olivia is doing okay. Again, Like, we were very torn
Speaker 1: whether to even talk about this, but since it hit
Speaker 1: the mainstream media and we are Influencer podcast, we felt
Speaker 1: we needed to touch on it. We just hope she's okay.
Speaker 1: I just feel so sorry for her and what she's
Speaker 1: going through at the moment, and also for Justin. We
Speaker 1: don't know exactly what's gone on, so her heart goes
Speaker 1: out to both of them at the moment. It's a
Speaker 1: very tough thing to navigate, particularly in the public eye. Now,
Speaker 1: just moving on to another influencer question that's been sent in.
Speaker 1: Someone's asked, has Mitch Third deleted his Instagram account? I
Speaker 1: looked this up as soon as this message came in.
Speaker 1: His Instagram account does appear to be down, but his
Speaker 1: TikTok is up, which is interesting. I wonder if him
Speaker 1: deleting his Instagram account has anything to do with the
Speaker 1: court case that is going on between him and his
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend, Tyliescaines. I wonder if there is incriminating posts
Speaker 1: on their Well, I mean, you just removed the post,
Speaker 1: wouldn't you. But I thought the same thing, Sophie. It
Speaker 1: must have something to do with that that case going on.
Speaker 1: I mean, he is actually getting quite a lot of
Speaker 1: attraction on TikTok. He seems to be investing more time
Speaker 1: on there. He's very much in that sort of motivational
Speaker 1: career base space. So it'll be interesting to see if
Speaker 1: it does go up. I'm sure it'll go up sometime soon.
Speaker 1: He's probably just deactivated it for a short period of time. Now.
Speaker 1: There's another question that says, what are your favorite books?
Speaker 1: And I feel like, Kate, this has been designed for you. Well,
Speaker 1: so I feel like I'm kind of above everyone at
Speaker 1: the moment because I'm actually reading a book. And we
Speaker 1: were joking that there's these adult one arts, and I
Speaker 1: think people who read books kind of think they're better
Speaker 1: than everyone. And I give them credit for it because
Speaker 1: they kind of are better. They kind of are, you know,
Speaker 1: taking that time out of your day to read and
Speaker 1: enjoy yourself and expand your mind. So I am currently
Speaker 1: reading The Palace Papers, and I've got to admit I
Speaker 1: haven't read a book for probably a few years, so
Speaker 1: you screwed me over. We borrowed this book from our
Speaker 1: lovely hairdresser and she was giving it to me to read,
Speaker 1: and I accidentally left it at your house and now
Speaker 1: I have forgot about it now, Kate, what is it about?
Speaker 1: For those who haven't heard of the Palace Papers? So
Speaker 1: it's from Tina Brown and she it's basically just to
Speaker 1: tell all about behind the scenes of the royal family
Speaker 1: and it is so good. I'm halfway through it. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think it's been out for quite a while. Now
Speaker 1: I'm late to the bandwagon. But I feel like I
Speaker 1: used to love reading growing up, so if and I
Speaker 1: were obsessed with Harry Potter. I read Harry Potter the
Speaker 1: series probably five or six times, and I feel like JK.
Speaker 1: Rowling almost ruined other books for me because nothing that
Speaker 1: I read could ever compare to Harry Potter. But now
Speaker 1: that I'm back into reading, I would love some recommendations
Speaker 1: and what to read next. This is a really embarrassing admission,
Speaker 1: but I was such a big Harry Potter fan, as
Speaker 1: you said, Kate, but I never finished the last book.
Speaker 1: It was shit. I can see why you finished it
Speaker 1: because it wasn't at the school. And then our beautiful
Speaker 1: cat got killed whilst I was reading it. I just
Speaker 1: didn't want to pick it up after that. You know what,
Speaker 1: something traumatic happens and you don't want to go back
Speaker 1: into the he got run over by a car. You
Speaker 1: just sounded like he got killed in a very dramatic way.
Speaker 1: What traumatic? Do you know? Do you know what it is?
Speaker 1: It's the same with me in some TV shows, like,
Speaker 1: for instance, Love Ireland. This is just a very love isolent.
Speaker 1: I watched the last few episodes because I have this
Speaker 1: thing of being upset that it's ended. I weaned myself
Speaker 1: off it. I'm like, well, maybe I'll watch it next week.
Speaker 1: On the topic of Love Island, someone did ask who
Speaker 1: we're still following from the show, and the only people
Speaker 1: I followed because I did watch the finale. I followed
Speaker 1: the two were the winner and the runner up. So
Speaker 1: I'm still following Ekin Suit and Davia Day, also Gemma
Speaker 1: and Luca. I have following Andrew and Tasha. I've actually
Speaker 1: even watched some of Tash and Andrew's blogs. Are they good?
Speaker 1: Because I've been watching Tasha's Sorry not Tash. I've been
Speaker 1: watching Gemma's vlogs. Yeah, and just she's kind of struggling.
Speaker 1: They're no Molly May. I feel like Molly May just
Speaker 1: makes it look so effortless and you've really got to
Speaker 1: be good at vlogging. Tash was okay, it was I
Speaker 1: don't know, It's just weird to see her and Andrew
Speaker 1: so loved up because they seem to be on the
Speaker 1: rocks the whole time during the show. I've got a
Speaker 1: vlog recommendation off the back of that. Who I watched
Speaker 1: It was Saffron Barker's vlog, but she had Imagen and
Speaker 1: Jed staying at her palace of the house that they
Speaker 1: were those who love. But I'm saying that particular vlog
Speaker 1: from Saffron Barker was really good, like image and went
Speaker 1: to the gym with her. Did she have her drink
Speaker 1: machine as well? She had a Tango frozen machine. I
Speaker 1: loved how she had to clarify because it was funny
Speaker 1: the people came to deliver this big slash puffing machine
Speaker 1: and there were all like so many plastic cups. She
Speaker 1: just looked like a complete asshole and she had to
Speaker 1: be like, oh the disclaimer, Yeah, disclaimer like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: reuse the cups. It's like, why do you need plastic
Speaker 1: cups for it? Anyway? Can't you just use your own?
Speaker 1: I mean, she obviously wanted them because she's turned her
Speaker 1: room into a cinema room and that's what they have
Speaker 1: at this time. I would love to see if she's
Speaker 1: actually washing up the plastic cups. I think it's just
Speaker 1: a disclaimer now people, someone else did ask what our
Speaker 1: recommendations of our favorite YouTubers. I have to admit I
Speaker 1: watch a lot of YouTubers that I'm not proud to
Speaker 1: say that I watched. Like I it's sort of I
Speaker 1: want another tern for hate watching because it sounds a
Speaker 1: bit too vicious, But I watched like it's one of
Speaker 1: the three is to tisc out, like yeah, and it
Speaker 1: gets so annoyed at me every time I watch YouTube.
Speaker 1: I just sit there tisking, and He's like, look, if
Speaker 1: you hate these people so much, will turn it off?
Speaker 1: Isn't it more like it's not like you hate them,
Speaker 1: it's more like their lives are so different to you
Speaker 1: that you find them fascinating. Yeah. Well, last night I've
Speaker 1: actually finished watching it. With Sophie's recommendation, the other day
Speaker 1: the Barley Bombing series, which was so good I recommend
Speaker 1: it on the podcast. Yeah, yeah, no, I said you
Speaker 1: recommended it. It was so good, but I needed something
Speaker 1: light to kind of before I went to bed too.
Speaker 1: Flicked on Madison Wooly's flog. So I do I am
Speaker 1: a sneaky watcher of Madison Wooly. I really watched UK.
Speaker 1: I only really watched UK influencers for some reason for
Speaker 1: Sarah's Day's Blog. I have been because Sarah's Day hasn't
Speaker 1: put up a vlog. I've got to say, anytime she
Speaker 1: drops av loog I instantly watch it out of yeah,
Speaker 1: just pure entertainment. I have been going back and watching
Speaker 1: old Sarah's Day's log. Remember when she was really popular
Speaker 1: and she had that really cool vibe. She was in
Speaker 1: a small apartment. They just got went off, sorry before
Speaker 1: she completely went off and got really rich. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was that sort of like she was building her career.
Speaker 1: I really like that time in Sarah's life. Now, on
Speaker 1: the topic of Sarah's Day, someone did ask us, who
Speaker 1: do you think is Australia's most problematic influencer. I personally
Speaker 1: think it is Sarah's Day because she has so many followers,
Speaker 1: and it is a particular demographic, so it's very young girls.
Speaker 1: And I think she has the ability to suck people
Speaker 1: in because she is initially very likable, Like I really
Speaker 1: liked her to begin with. I bought a lot of
Speaker 1: her products, and I think that's how she then starts
Speaker 1: pushing her diet message and you kind of take her
Speaker 1: on board because she has marketed herself as you know,
Speaker 1: having her followers are her sissies and her friends, so
Speaker 1: you kind of then take on her diet advice, which
Speaker 1: has been very problematic over the years. I would have
Speaker 1: to say Sophie Kaisha is also that's another problematic her
Speaker 1: the way that she conducted herself during Lockdown, constantly breaking
Speaker 1: Lockdown rules. Obviously Chloe Zepp as well mea plus, but
Speaker 1: she's probably not to this. You know, she doesn't have
Speaker 1: a million follows. What about Emmy Lou because everybody slams us.
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a there's a big portion of
Speaker 1: people who hate Emmy Lou. They always get into our
Speaker 1: comments and say, you haven't spoken about it, but should
Speaker 1: we chat about her? Because I have been trying to
Speaker 1: watch for her to do something. I've been on Alert,
Speaker 1: but all she does is brooke shit. So it's kind
Speaker 1: of hard because it's just ad ad our stories are
Speaker 1: so long, like you go on her Instagram and it's
Speaker 1: like these tiny little dots. And then whenever we say
Speaker 1: anything about Emmy Lou there's a lot of people that
Speaker 1: really like her. And the thing is our podcast is
Speaker 1: very newsworthy, so we try and report on things that
Speaker 1: are happening. So if she does something and we miss it,
Speaker 1: please tell us, because we're happy to cover on the show.
Speaker 1: But we're not going to troll back through like six
Speaker 1: years ago when she did something. Yeah, unless we do
Speaker 1: a deep dive. But yeah, well, we are thinking of
Speaker 1: doing some deep dive episodes over the holiday period at
Speaker 1: the end of the year. Now someone's asked, who is
Speaker 1: your ultimate guest to interview? And will you do more interviews?
Speaker 1: And I know we've spoken about this in the past,
Speaker 1: but I actually have a new set of guests that
Speaker 1: I would love to have on a new obsession. Who
Speaker 1: is it? It's said there's Sam from the Sam and
Speaker 1: Billy Show. Are you you're obsessed with them? Now? I've
Speaker 1: been telling you to listen to that po because for
Speaker 1: ages and you finally listen to and now we're just
Speaker 1: talking Sam and Billy's boys. They're from Tawi or Towey
Speaker 1: or however you say it. It's like the most relaxing podcast.
Speaker 1: They literally just it's like you're eaves dropping into a
Speaker 1: phone conversation. Don't you feel like you've been transported back
Speaker 1: to twenty twelve though, because there's some problematic things that
Speaker 1: they do say about diets, and I'm like, how did
Speaker 1: this get through? But it's more like they're so lovable.
Speaker 1: They just seem a bit clueless. It's not coming from
Speaker 1: a nasty thing, it's just coming from I don't know,
Speaker 1: just being a bit clueless. Yeah, I don't think this
Speaker 1: comes as a shock. But my dream guests would be
Speaker 1: Molly May. But it's funny because I don't really like
Speaker 1: doing interviews with people that I care about because I
Speaker 1: get really nervous. I just I just get Sandy, and
Speaker 1: I sees that I can't talk to people that I
Speaker 1: think are cool. You'll also just be like you'll have
Speaker 1: the questions in front of you and you'll just ask
Speaker 1: them like just as the written, what is your faith?
Speaker 1: I can't be cool with them. And I think I
Speaker 1: think if I was in person, but obviously Molly May
Speaker 1: is not going to come to our humble studio, sofas
Speaker 1: his issue is, well, where if she meets somebody that
Speaker 1: she thinks is really cool, you sees up as well.
Speaker 1: I can't, I just can't talk. I just get really,
Speaker 1: really nervous. In terms of Australian sort of influential people,
Speaker 1: if that is who we're choosing from, I would really
Speaker 1: like to interview Mia Friedman. I have so much respect
Speaker 1: for her. I love her and I've listened to so
Speaker 1: many podcast interviews with her on I feel like I
Speaker 1: know her, so that would be a good one. But
Speaker 1: if it was like on the international stage, obviously Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift oh yeah, also was gonna say Ouzzie influencers. I'd
Speaker 1: love to have Michael Finch on, Yes, he just has
Speaker 1: such an og and even someone like Shiny Grimman would
Speaker 1: be hilarious, but she's blocked us on Instagram, so I
Speaker 1: don't think that's happening. I would love to have Sarah's
Speaker 1: Day on as well, in the sense of if you
Speaker 1: had the balls to ask the tough questions like why
Speaker 1: the fuck are you doing this? The thing with Sarah's
Speaker 1: Day is sofa and I have met her in person
Speaker 1: through a work thing, and she is so bubbly and
Speaker 1: nice and though you can see why she's popular online
Speaker 1: and why she captivates audiences. So those kind of interviews
Speaker 1: would be hard. If someone's been so I said, you're like,
Speaker 1: why are you doing? Yeah, But that's about being a journalist.
Speaker 1: It isn't being able to ask the tough questions it
Speaker 1: would be It would sort of like be better if
Speaker 1: it was a current affair type investigation. Sorry, not a
Speaker 1: current affair, I mean like sixty minutes or something like
Speaker 1: the Bell Gibson thing, Like I would love to do
Speaker 1: something like that on influences, where it's like a full
Speaker 1: on investigation. Now off the topic of influences just for
Speaker 1: a second. We actually got a lot of questions, surprisingly
Speaker 1: about wedding updates. So on Friday, I actually picked up
Speaker 1: my wedding dress, which was really exciting. All the dresses
Speaker 1: I had tried on previously were too big, so I
Speaker 1: had all the like pegs and clamps on them, and
Speaker 1: it's really hard to see what it actually looks like
Speaker 1: on you. So I was so exciting to actually try
Speaker 1: the dress on in the real size. It looked amazing.
Speaker 1: Sophie came in late, and you like gasped when you.
Speaker 1: Sophie did it good. Sophie was good at putting that off.
Speaker 1: Oh you look, I wasn't putting it on. You looked
Speaker 1: absolutely stunning, like I was. You know, I did gasp.
Speaker 1: I was sort of blown away. It was sort of
Speaker 1: the reaction that I should have been there earlier, because
Speaker 1: I felt like you needed the tires pump up. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Poor Mum and Amy were a little bit distracted because
Speaker 1: Mum is a school teacher and it was the last
Speaker 1: day of term and she had rushed kindly down to
Speaker 1: see my dress, but she lost her phone in the process.
Speaker 1: So Amy and Mum were trying to find Mum's phone
Speaker 1: and she lost her voice. To be fair, I was
Speaker 1: having to translate. She like, it looks lovely. I think
Speaker 1: there's some moms that are really emotional and will like
Speaker 1: cry when you come out, But then our mum isn't
Speaker 1: one of those moments. She's very supportive. She's a bit
Speaker 1: like us. Because I was telling Brandon, He's like, what's
Speaker 1: happened to you during childhood? Because I get really embarrassed
Speaker 1: in those moments, like I don't really want to be
Speaker 1: the center of attention and like come out and like
Speaker 1: twelve around. But I wish I was like, do you
Speaker 1: want That's what I was saying to you. So do
Speaker 1: you want to go and look for bridal dresses like
Speaker 1: by ourselves or it's like together or do you want
Speaker 1: separately people to come here. I don't know. I feel
Speaker 1: like you almost do have to go separately though, because
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a bit of a freak show
Speaker 1: if you get to and then you have to all
Speaker 1: have the same conversation unless you go. So I went
Speaker 1: to the Bride Lab, which is on King William Roe.
Speaker 1: This is not an ad. I definitely paid full price,
Speaker 1: but it was just a really good experience. See, I
Speaker 1: just I've spotted one there. I'm the sort of person
Speaker 1: that's like, yeah, see I'm not that sold on that
Speaker 1: dress that you like, Okay, that's what I want to
Speaker 1: try it on. Yeah, of course if I tried Kate
Speaker 1: tried it on and it looked nice on her, I'm
Speaker 1: glad for you. We did get a question whether we're
Speaker 1: doing any wedding collaborations. I suppose because we have been
Speaker 1: talking about our wedding so much. Well, Unfortunately, everything of
Speaker 1: mine is locked in and I haven't I'm not doing
Speaker 1: a collaboration. But I did have a brand reach out
Speaker 1: and offer to let us try on some bridesmaid's dresses,
Speaker 1: which was so lovely and unexpected. I was like, sure,
Speaker 1: but I'm just waiting on whether Amy and Sophie and
Speaker 1: pit my bridesmaids have given it the thumbs up. But
Speaker 1: I'm just waiting for my best friend Owen to say
Speaker 1: yep and then yay or nay, yeah or name. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they're really nice and I was very lucky with that.
Speaker 1: But everything else I and my partner have paid for,
Speaker 1: as well as our parents. So now what about you,
Speaker 1: sof have you got any updates for your wedding? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Well everyone, well hold on. I hope that my bridesmen
Speaker 1: aren't listening to this. I'm sure that they doubt it.
Speaker 1: Our cousins are not listening. They've got friends who listens,
Speaker 1: So if you're friends and please don't tell them. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so basically every all of my bridesmaids or bridal party
Speaker 1: are coming on the weekend to come and check out
Speaker 1: my ventus this weekend. Yeah, so that's this sekend on Sunday,
Speaker 1: and it's so funny because for months now, I've been
Speaker 1: creating these bridesmaids boxes. And it's funny because I've been
Speaker 1: pumping the watch to you guys so much, and i
Speaker 1: keep looking in them and I'm like, it's not much
Speaker 1: else I'm excited, like I'm stressing. I feel like they're
Speaker 1: not very impressive. Does anyone this is a throwback to
Speaker 1: the TV show Absolutely Fabulous. There's this hilarious scene where
Speaker 1: I think it's Patsy goes into the hospital with Eddie
Speaker 1: or one of the pr women and it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I've just got a box of some lovely things and
Speaker 1: it was just like wrapping paper. That's what I feel like,
Speaker 1: which is the Instagram Well, that's what I feel like
Speaker 1: because I've been trying to get the right box and
Speaker 1: the right you know, bows and everything else, and then
Speaker 1: I'm like when I take everything out, I'm like, is
Speaker 1: everyone gon think that this is really cheap? I will
Speaker 1: be sharing on Instagram so you have to. Well. I
Speaker 1: was so inspired because if any other brides which that's
Speaker 1: a weird, are listening, go on TikTok and type in
Speaker 1: bridesmaid proposal boxes because that's what I've been getting all
Speaker 1: of my inspo from and I want to do one
Speaker 1: of those real wanky videos a poster on Outspoken after
Speaker 1: you guys have been asked, so I don't ruin the surprise.
Speaker 1: I've actually purchased my gift to give my I can't
Speaker 1: wait to see what this is. It's going to be
Speaker 1: something so obscure. It's like a really random one. Because
Speaker 1: I was looking up and I was looking at all
Speaker 1: these different bridal things. Because Kate, you gave us the pajamas,
Speaker 1: I just don't customized. I want to do the pajamas,
Speaker 1: but I don't know the theme of my wedding yet,
Speaker 1: so I didn't want to rush in with it. And
Speaker 1: then I was thinking, well, so fis doing some kind
Speaker 1: of box thing, and I felt like I just felt
Speaker 1: like the buying the boxes itself would be quite expensive.
Speaker 1: I want you guys to know that the boxes and
Speaker 1: everything of the wrapping is expense. What do we do
Speaker 1: with the boxes after? Like I suppose I've got to
Speaker 1: keep that memory operations anyway, So I have purchased something
Speaker 1: for my bridesmaids. I'm very excited to the clue is
Speaker 1: that it's coming from an international Are you are you
Speaker 1: also having brides man or? Is that just me? I
Speaker 1: haven't I actually I haven't decided exactly what I'm doing,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know who I'm having. You have
Speaker 1: to wait and see. I mean, I'm assumed Kate. Now
Speaker 1: it's funny. Brandon was like, also, are you having Kate
Speaker 1: as your maid of honor? And I was like, why
Speaker 1: do you say? I think he thinks that you've got
Speaker 1: me because I'm always telling him about your hen's party
Speaker 1: and stuff. I'm like, no, we're both you know, not
Speaker 1: to ruin the surprise on Sunday, but you're both my
Speaker 1: maid of honors? Oh how lovely? Wouldn't it be awkward
Speaker 1: that you know? I asked both of you. Wouldn't have
Speaker 1: been awkward If Sophie's a selected I just ask Gamy.
Speaker 1: I mean, I do work with her and we do
Speaker 1: spend all day, but who's going to plan a better
Speaker 1: I have a lot of penis par Is that what
Speaker 1: Amy's in charge of for my heads stuff? If that's
Speaker 1: if that's what you want? Do you know what's hilarious?
Speaker 1: I'm a bridesmaid for my soon to be sister in
Speaker 1: law's wedding, and me and the bridesmaids were trying to
Speaker 1: plants and stuff, and I'm like, is it kind of
Speaker 1: a penis straw kind of event or is it more classy?
Speaker 1: And one of the other bridesmaids is like the venue
Speaker 1: she selected actually banned anything venue Beach Road Wies, so
Speaker 1: not even like the store was Well, I think we're
Speaker 1: going to have the straws back at the accommodation, so
Speaker 1: I will have to look into that, Sophie Kate's I'm
Speaker 1: sure I haven't even said that we're having a Hens
Speaker 1: party there. We're just doing a lunch. I'm actually freaking
Speaker 1: out because that is only a few weeks away, and
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a lot of ordering of decorations.
Speaker 1: Have a dressed got the invites? I know I was
Speaker 1: thure to take them out now, I don't know. Have
Speaker 1: I given any updates on my wedding. I currently spoke
Speaker 1: about donkeys and fireworks, but other than that, yeah, so oh,
Speaker 1: I supposed to give a little update because I was
Speaker 1: actually telling Dale's sister about it. So yes, really want
Speaker 1: the beer donkeys. So it's all flower donkeys or whatever
Speaker 1: said donkeys that you they have a saddle on them
Speaker 1: and there's you can put you don't ride or no,
Speaker 1: but that's what they're doing. They're wandering around and you
Speaker 1: take a beat. So basically, yeah, so when you're getting married,
Speaker 1: they're at the ceremony, so you can have photos with them,
Speaker 1: and then guests can go over and pat them, and
Speaker 1: you also get I've seen that there's a lama and
Speaker 1: the lama has like a chloral sort of thing around
Speaker 1: its neck and you have photos with them. Well, these
Speaker 1: are like really short, like little small donkeys and hang on,
Speaker 1: Well they're called donkeys on the website, but it's a
Speaker 1: mule different to a donkey. I think it is. I
Speaker 1: don't know. And now we're sang doing really dumb if
Speaker 1: it sounds, are you having a Mexican theme or something?
Speaker 1: Donkey dead? Okay, So what I want for the wedding
Speaker 1: and whether this happens is very different. So we're going
Speaker 1: through the planning stages. I really like Marquee weddings, like
Speaker 1: the gold lights, the sea through Marquee roof, and then
Speaker 1: I also really want to have an ice cream van
Speaker 1: at the wedding as a little bit of like a
Speaker 1: cool thing. Well, I'm having a Gelati car, I've got
Speaker 1: jelly to tissmo comin, can I just interject O googled
Speaker 1: and it says donkeys have long ears, a short thick head,
Speaker 1: a short maine, thin limbs, and narrow hoofs. Mules share
Speaker 1: these characteristics with donkeys, but they are larger and taller
Speaker 1: than donkeys, So my mistake donkeys are the smaller version. Yeah, Amy, you,
Speaker 1: I have begged you, begged you so many times now
Speaker 1: because you've been telling about this marquee wedding, and just
Speaker 1: put into perspective it's been nine ten months since you've
Speaker 1: been proposed to and you are still working out the venue.
Speaker 1: And there is a fantastic podcast called the You and
Speaker 1: Me Podcast. That was another question. Someone asked if there's
Speaker 1: any wedding podcast to recommend. I've got another one to recommend.
Speaker 1: Please implore, I, please beg you to listen to this
Speaker 1: podcast because I have a whole episode episode, have a
Speaker 1: whole episode about marquees and explain why it's more difficult
Speaker 1: and why it's more expective because Amy keeps saying, Oh,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be so much cheaper having this marquee. No
Speaker 1: it's not. I never said that. I said, do you
Speaker 1: know what it's really expensive to get married at a winery.
Speaker 1: I think it would be the same price having It's
Speaker 1: called a dry wedding venue, so it's where you pay
Speaker 1: for the to hire the full venue. You get it
Speaker 1: for like three or four days, and you have different
Speaker 1: people that stood up. So yeah, you just get on
Speaker 1: with it. I'm getting stressed, I am anyway. In terms
Speaker 1: of wedding podcasts, I do also recommend the U and
Speaker 1: Meat podcast so because they have a lot of great
Speaker 1: guests on. So they had it's a bit awkward now,
Speaker 1: but they did have Olivia Rodgers talking about her wedding
Speaker 1: and Steph Clears Smith and I love those women, so
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed hearing about their big days. There's also
Speaker 1: the Manage My Wedding podcast by a Vett Sitters. This
Speaker 1: woman just seems like the nicest person I've ever heard
Speaker 1: speaking on a podcast. She's so cute and she just
Speaker 1: gives little tips like driving over in the car. I
Speaker 1: listened to one and she'd answered like three, you know,
Speaker 1: three questions, and one was about when do you change
Speaker 1: into your second wedding dress? So it's all very helpful topics.
Speaker 1: There's so many episodes there that will be able to
Speaker 1: help well. We actually had quite a lot of questions,
Speaker 1: so we're going to break it up into two episodes.
Speaker 1: So thank you for listening to part one of the episode.
Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow with part two. And if you
Speaker 1: did enjoy the podcast, it'd be great if you could
Speaker 1: leave us a five star review because it really helps
Speaker 1: the show. And if you do want to continue on
Speaker 1: the conversations, please head to our Facebook community which has
Speaker 1: outspoken the podcast. Now. This podcast was recorded on the
Speaker 1: land of the Ghana people of the Adelaide Planes. We
