1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: Hello, I'm welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: kay Torba and coming up on today's show, Britney Saunder's 4 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: shocks fans by returning to YouTube, Rachel Dylan's baby news, 5 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: and the self proclaimed tennis Wag's winning fans at the 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 1: Aussie Open. The first anonymous influencer snark Sides are in 7 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: the spotlight again after being called out by two high 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: profile influencers. Indy Clinton has hit out at anonymous users, 9 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: telling them to get a hobby, get laid, or go 10 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: find God. 11 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 2: Now. 12 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: So what prompted this reaction from Indy Well, all of 13 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: this drama kicked off in popular Facebook group Tea Time. 14 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: So an anonymous user accused an influencer of not being 15 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: sun safe with her kids. She wrote, sun safety, where 16 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 1: is it? A certain influencer has posted to her instant 17 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: showing her children wearing no hats or appropriate clothing to 18 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: the beach and what makes it worse is the visible 19 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: nappy tanlines on one shop and what seems to be 20 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: a severe burn and red raw pealing marks on another's back. 21 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: At what point do we start holding the more accountable 22 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: for not being better role models and promoting sun safety 23 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 1: over being tanned. The anonymous user added, admins, pretty please 24 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: do not delete this post and support my theory that 25 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: this certain influencer is untouchable on this page. Now, it 26 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: didn't take long for people to draw the dots and 27 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: realize this post was about Indy Clinton, and while there 28 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,919 Speaker 1: were some that agreed with the original poster, the majority 29 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: thought that it was a bit of a stretch and 30 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: accused the poster of mum shaming Indy. There are a 31 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 1: lot of people asking this anonymous poster if they were 32 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: a parent and if they're aware of how difficult it 33 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: is to actually keep a hat on a child and 34 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: really defending Indy if anything. In general, people thought it 35 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: was a bit of a stretch, and I think we're 36 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: seeing people piling onto influencers at the moment because Sun's 37 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: safety is really a hot topic no pun intended at 38 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: the moment on social media, because the ABC did a 39 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: really great investigation into what's going on TikTok at the 40 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: moment with the promotion of tan lines. We've seen Sopha 41 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: Doufer dragged into that drama. And while I applaud that 42 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: somen safety is a topic of discussion. This did seem 43 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: like a reach. Yeah, you can tell by the tone 44 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: of this post that this person already has an issue 45 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: with Indy, so they were sort of looking for something 46 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: else to have a go at her about. Now. Indy 47 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: ended up hitting back on her Instagram story, which I 48 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: found really interesting because we interviewed her back in December 49 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: and at the time she was very frustrated that she 50 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: previously had to stay quiet on a lot of controversies 51 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: that had popped up surrounding her, and her management had 52 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: always told her to be quiet, to let the story die. 53 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: But I think her strategy this year is to defend herself, 54 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: particularly when it comes to people spreading vicious rumors about 55 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: her children. Yeah, when we had a chat, she spoke 56 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: about how detrimental TEA time and tatle life are to 57 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: her mental health, and how she has spoken to her 58 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: psychologists about ways to deal with that kind of hate. 59 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: And I'm really glad that Indy has found her voice 60 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: in this instant because there's nothing worse than people making 61 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: up rumors about your children. So she shared a photo 62 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,399 Speaker 1: of Navies back and confirmed that it was just a scratch, 63 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 1: and she questioned those criticizing her if they'd ever seen 64 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: her children's sunburnt before she continued writing, I'm born and 65 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: raised at the beach. I know how to keep them safe. 66 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: And my favorite part of India's clapback was when she 67 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: told the anonymous poster to get a hobby, get laid, 68 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: or go find God, because you need something better to 69 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 1: do than making up stories about me and my kids. 70 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: That probably felt really good to say it. She then 71 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: followed up with another Instagram story which said, actually, if 72 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: you're posting anonymously on a forum about absolute rubbish, you'll 73 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: probably most definitely not getting laid. Here's a link to 74 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: a good dido instead. Good Luck. I really liked it 75 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: because Big ed Aka. Her husband Ben also weighed in, 76 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: saying this first. 77 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 3: On a forum starts ragging my wife and my kids 78 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 3: about suns. Safety's with it the beach her whole life. 79 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 3: I've lived in a harsh environment. Out of them, we 80 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 3: understand some safety. To make an assumption that our kid's 81 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 3: appealing when one's a scab and one's exmar is just 82 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 3: next level. The fact that it's done under an anonymous 83 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 3: account just is coudice really and it makes me really sick. 84 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 3: To be honest, it's not about our situation, it's just 85 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 3: it's overall, I think on social media and faceless people 86 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 3: saying things or having an opinion that they wouldn't have 87 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 3: in person. That is my main problem. It's just it 88 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,679 Speaker 3: needs to stop. And I think these forums are actually 89 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 3: kind of encouraging this behavior. 90 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: There's something just so attractive about when someone's husband or 91 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: partner steps in to defend them, and it was really 92 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: interesting to hear his perspective. And sometimes it takes for 93 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: someone who's not heavily invested in that world to step 94 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: back and say, this is fucking ridiculous, what is going on? Yeah, Well, 95 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: what stood up for me was the fact that Ben 96 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: got involved showed how just much it had affected Indy 97 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: that he felt like he needed to come online and 98 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: defend his wife, because he for the last couple of 99 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: years has played a real background character. But you can 100 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: see more recently he's becoming a lot more comfortable in 101 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: front of the camera. And again, Indy spoke on our 102 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: podcast about how he's actually been bullied by people at 103 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: his work for being a part of her channel. I 104 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: also think it must be really difficult for people's partners 105 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: to sit back and watch them copper online and feel 106 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: like they can't say anything. It reminded me of a 107 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: conversation that I've had with my husband in regards to 108 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: these gossip forums, because there is an outspoken thread on 109 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: there which we get spoken about quite a lot, and 110 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: it's good to have someone who's removed from the situation 111 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: just saying that these people basically have no lives and 112 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: nothing better to do, and how ridiculous it is. And 113 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: I also think that he brought up a really important point, 114 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: which is around the anonymous nature of a lot of 115 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: these forums and also now Facebook groups. So even in 116 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: our Facebook group, there is a feature where you can 117 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: anonymously create a post, but usually if you respond to it, 118 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: your name is visible. Yeah, so now you can create 119 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: an anonymous alias to comment in there, which I'm wondering 120 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: if we can turn off, because I do feel like 121 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: the ability to anonymously post at all is actually having 122 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: a really detrimental impact on our Facebook community. I don't 123 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: like it, and I really think at the end of 124 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: the day, if you have an opinion to share, you 125 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: should be willing to share your name and face to it. Like, 126 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: obviously we speak about influencer culture, and we're happy to 127 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: put our face and name to the comments that we 128 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: make because we stand by those comments. 129 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 4: Yeah. 130 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: Now, Indy Clinton isn't the only influencer who's opened up 131 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: about the detrimental effect anonymous troll comments have had on 132 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: her This week. So Zoe Haig, who is the sister 133 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: of Molly May, shared a troll comment that she received 134 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: about one of her selfies on a YouTube channel. Let's 135 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: throw to what she said. 136 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 5: I get comments like this like a fair about and 137 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 5: they don't normally bother me. Bloody how face pop clup, 138 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 5: give me a shot influence life is not for you. 139 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 5: Comments on that never ever, ever, ever bought the mean. 140 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 5: I don't know why that's interested. I think it's because 141 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 5: I'm not feeling great and like I feel like I 142 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 5: don't look my worst. I would never even reply to 143 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 5: a comment like that, nor leave it, but I just 144 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 5: said great, thanks for him my day, because I don't 145 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 5: want people by that to think that you just get 146 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 5: away from saying stuff. 147 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: It was so hard to watch her cry on YouTube, 148 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,239 Speaker 1: but I'm actually glad that she did share this because 149 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: it really shows the reality of what happens when you 150 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: send one of these ridiculous comments, because I'm sure the 151 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: person just shot the message off not even thinking about it. 152 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: It was probably misplaced aggression. I always think there is 153 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: a place to critique influences behavior, but I have never 154 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: understood why anyone thinks it's their right to comment on 155 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: anyone's appearance. It is utterly disgusting. I just can't even 156 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: comprehend someone sitting there and thinking that's an okay thing 157 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: to do. I mean, it's absolutely disgusting. Who cares what 158 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: she looks like? I mean, she's a beautiful girl anyway, 159 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: So it just shows how ridiculous it all is. Now. 160 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: Zoe went on to share her thoughts about anonymous sites 161 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: like tattle Life, who speak about not only her, but 162 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: her sister on a daily basis. Here's what she said. 163 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 5: Obviously, I know it is a troll account because I'm 164 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 5: saying things like influencer life isn't for you, Like you 165 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 5: don't have to look a certain way to be an influencder. 166 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 5: Obviously I don't look like a lot of influencers, Like 167 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 5: I didn't get into this influencing life because I looked 168 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 5: a certain way. It's not about how you look. Whenever 169 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 5: I do see comments like that, I would honestly pay 170 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 5: so much money like all these horrible forms of people 171 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 5: being horrible about everyone. I would pay so much money, 172 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 5: like probably every single penny that I own, to see 173 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 5: you who are to like line them all up against 174 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 5: each other and be like, Oh, that's the sort of 175 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 5: person that like comments horble staff or that it's really 176 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 5: horrible about other people. Because I just can't picture the 177 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 5: sort of person that is like, yeah, it could be anyone, 178 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 5: and that she could be someone that you're friends or 179 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 5: someone that you're passing the street and they're they're like 180 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 5: making horrible comments online. 181 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: Again, I really think that if you're going to share 182 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: an anonymous comment about someone, particularly when you're picking apart 183 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: their appearance, you might be brave enough to share a 184 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: photo of what you look like and also your name. 185 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 2: Okay, so hello and welcome to my YouTube channel. 186 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: For those of you who do not know who I am, 187 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: my name is Britney Saunders. After pulling the pin on 188 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: her YouTube career four years ago, Britney Saunders has shoted 189 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: fans by making a dramatic return. The much loved OG 190 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: influencer turned business Mogul has vowed to revamp her channel 191 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: and lifted the lid on why she quit the platform. 192 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: So all feels right in the world now that britt 193 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: is back on YouTube. I was really excited to see 194 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: her make this grand return, and I was really intrigued 195 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: to see at what capacity she would be returning in 196 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: because when she started her channel, she was posting four 197 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: to five times a week, and obviously they were vlog 198 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: style videos. It was all about her life. And I 199 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: instantly noticed when I clicked on her channel that she 200 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: has renamed it. So when she first launched in twenty eleven, 201 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: it was called Britney Lee Saunders. For some reason, back then, 202 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: it was very in vogue to go by your full name, 203 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: including your middle name. I mean, Steph Cleare Smith and 204 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: Olivia Molly Rodgers was still doing it. 205 00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 5: Yeah. 206 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: I suppose it's because their last name is common, so 207 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: maybe someone already had the other handle. I also think 208 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: that creators did it to stand out and to have 209 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: a unique element. Now, as of twenty twenty five, BRIT's 210 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: channel is now known as Britney Saunder's Fate the label, 211 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: so it's very clear to see that her return to 212 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: YouTube is a business decision, and a smart one at that. Yeah, 213 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: she has spent ten years cultivating this following, so why 214 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 1: not tap back into this market, particularly when you own 215 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: your own clothing brand. It just makes sense. There's no 216 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: point in letting a huge platform like this just die 217 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: and lay dormant because it's such a waste. Yeah. Now, 218 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: BRIT's first video back was entitled Why I Quit and 219 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: Why I Am Back, and at the time of recording, 220 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: it's not sched up fifty four thousand views. To me, 221 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: that sounds quite low considering she has a million subscribers, 222 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: But I'm guessing it's because she hasn't been on the 223 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: platform for four years and the algorithm is really punishing 224 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: her at the moment. Well, it's such a relief that 225 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: she actually hit fifty four thousand views, because she joked 226 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: that if she didn't reach at least ten thousand views, 227 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: she would be retiring straight away. Again. Now, the video 228 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: was filmed in her office and she had her large 229 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: warehouse visible in the background, and this video was a 230 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: very clever mix of a trip down memory lane and 231 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: also an update on what she's been up to. I 232 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: really liked what she did with this video because it 233 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: was really nostalgic. She opened up with vision of her 234 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: first YouTube video from back in twenty eleven, so it 235 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: was an eighteen year old Britt explaining that she loved 236 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: makeup and skincare and thought that she may as well 237 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: give the whole YouTube thing a crack. Brit seemed to 238 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 1: be very mindful that this might be the first time 239 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: that a lot of her og followers who only followed 240 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: her on YouTube are seeing her again in four years, 241 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: and she said that she always felt like they might 242 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: have been angry at her for leaving, and she also 243 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: knew that some of her most recent fans might have 244 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: been unaware that she was a full blown YouTuber for 245 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: ten years. So she decided to share a montage of 246 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: old videos, and the ones that I were fascinated to 247 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: see were her on brand trips because she's been very 248 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: outspoken in the last year about how her brand fate 249 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: is pushing back offering influencer trips, so they did something 250 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: quite revolutionary and they offered everyday customers a sort of 251 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: influencer inspired trip. So she was really giving back to 252 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: her community, and it's interesting to see some of these 253 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: influencer brand trips that she was treated to back in 254 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: the day. So they ranged from going to Los Angeles 255 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: with Tart Cosmetics to going to the Hayman Islands. And 256 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: in one of the clips from twenty sixteen, Brits showed 257 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: her followers that not only was she gifted an iPad 258 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: on one of these trips, also an Apple Watch and 259 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, and I suppose still now they were 260 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 1: the must haves like that would have set the company 261 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: back a lot of money, particularly to give it to 262 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: not only brit but all of the influencers that were 263 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: on the trip, and she was saying that that time 264 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: in her life didn't even feel real. And it was 265 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: actually during one of these influencer trips that she realized 266 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: that she was more intrigued by how the companies were 267 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: working behind the scenes, and she often spent a lot 268 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: of time talking to the team and trying to understand 269 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: how the business worked and also the perspective of why 270 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: they would send influencers on these extravagant trips. Now, this 271 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: of course led her to starting her own clothing company, 272 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: Fate in twenty seventeen, and at the time, britt admitted 273 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: that when she launched the fashion brand, she didn't really 274 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: think much of it, because if you do cast your 275 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: mind back, a lot of influencers were just slapping their 276 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: names on things and doing it as a bit of 277 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: a cash grab. 278 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. 279 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: She said she felt like it just seemed to be 280 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: the obvious step for her as an influencer to start 281 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: a brand, and she said that she had no idea 282 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: how to actually start a business. Yeah. It's funny because 283 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: it seems like for Brit she was the type of 284 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: person that would just follow what the trend was. So 285 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: I remember hearing in an interview that she said she 286 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: didn't even like makeup or wasn't particularly good at it, 287 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: but launched a makeup channel because that's what everyone was 288 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: doing at the time. It is ironic that this brand 289 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: that she didn't think much of ended up growing so 290 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: big and becoming her number one passion and actually led 291 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: to her quitting YouTube. Yeah, I mean, it's happened for 292 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: quite a lot of influencers. I mean the one that 293 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: springs to mind is Shanie Grimmin. She used to be 294 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: massive on YouTube at the same time Brit was, and 295 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: she also has followed in BRIT's footsteps. She launched her 296 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: own swimmer company. She's recently got a warehouse, So it 297 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: is really cool to see these og influencers doing so 298 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: well for themselves, but they always seem to go back 299 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 1: to YouTube. I'm hoping the same will happen with Shanie Grimm, 300 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: and I know she's TikTok vlogging, but it's just not 301 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: the same as long form content. I think Britt is 302 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: also very mindful that she wants to be seen as 303 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: one of the people. She doesn't want to be seen 304 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: as this influencer who was living this lavish lifestyle, because 305 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: she also pointed out that one of the reasons she 306 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: quit YouTube four years ago is because she felt like 307 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: she was turning into a sellout. She said that she 308 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: was no longer interested in spreaking products and she didn't 309 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: feel like she was being authentic to her self. That 310 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: is really interesting because, as you said earlier, the channel 311 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: has now labeled Britney Saunda's Fate the label, so it 312 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: clearly was a business decision to return to the platform. 313 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to seeing how she actually promotes 314 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: the brand to her followers, because I know she is 315 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: very clever with marketing and she's not going to just 316 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: be like, oh this try and hold no, who's my 317 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: co blah blah blah. She is going to be revolutionary 318 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: with how she does this. Well, she's committed to putting 319 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: out a video a week, and she said that it 320 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: will be behind the scenes of her business, similar to 321 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: what she's sharing on TikTok and YouTube, just a longer 322 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: format where I'm guessing that she'd be putting a lot 323 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: of her personality across and not just be sharing about 324 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: all the highs. I'm sure we'll get a little glimpse 325 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: on the lows. Well, it's super clever. It's literally like 326 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: a TV show of what's going on behind the scenes 327 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: out of business. People are going to get invested, They're 328 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: going to want to support the brand. I think it's 329 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: an incredible idea. There was a really big reaction to 330 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: her returning to YouTube. A lot of her og followers 331 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: were saying that they were so excited and that they've 332 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: missed her, and they called her out on the fact 333 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: that she has privated the majority of her video so 334 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: she had thousands of videos on the back channel, and 335 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: a few of her followers said, oh my god, I 336 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: loved going back and binge watching them. So she's had 337 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: now has the idea that she'd be releasing these new 338 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: videos a week, but she'll also be re releasing an 339 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: old video. And we've seen a lot of YouTube do 340 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: this where they've privated a lot of their videos. And 341 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: I think it comes down not just to her, but 342 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: generally for damage control, because people keep finding stuff that 343 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: was set on the internet ten years ago, taking it 344 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: out of context or not taking it for the time 345 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: that it was set in. Yeah, a lot of things 346 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: haven't aged well over the last decades, so I can 347 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: see why she has done that. It is a smart 348 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: business move or she protected herself. Yeah, and obviously she 349 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: can now cherry pick what videos she wants to put 350 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: out there. She's got enough staff to check over whether 351 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: it's okay to put out. I love that she has 352 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: decided to do her own reruns again, another fabulous idea 353 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: that I think a lot of influencers are going to 354 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: be copying. Yeah. Unfortunately, though, her classic catchphrase peace out 355 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: Doggies will not be making a return, which upset a 356 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: lot of her followers, so in Everno they might put 357 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: the pressure on her. Oh, I think we can probably 358 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: move on from that one. Good of morning, everyone kilsin Evers. 359 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: Finnis influencer Rachel Dylan and Sweat co founder Toby Pierce 360 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: have announced their expecting their first child together. 361 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 3: Now. 362 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: For Toby, this is his second child. He already shares 363 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: a five year old daughter with his former fiance and 364 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 1: business partner Kayla Hassenas this is the third influencer prediction 365 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: that we've got right in the space of three weeks. 366 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: This is a lot of peacocking at the moment. Yes, 367 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: the thing is, I need to go listen back to 368 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: that episode because I'm a little bit nervous that maybe 369 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: we didn't include it in the recording, because I definitely 370 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: had it on my list. I think this was on 371 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: our list, but we didn't want to include it in 372 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: the episode because I think it's a bit inappropriate to 373 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: make guesses about people's like fertility journeys and where they're 374 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 1: going to get pregnants. So in saying that, I think 375 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: we actually did end up including it. So listen to it. Well, 376 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: it was beautiful news, and the couple broke it by 377 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: sharing an adorable family video with Ana very much front 378 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: and center, which I loved. Their sausage dog Pee even 379 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: made an appearance, So the video showed behind the scenes 380 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: of a pregnancy shoot, and of course, with any influencer 381 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: pregnancy announcement, I think it's mandatory for everyone to wear 382 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: matching out and have vibes of a Levi commercial. It 383 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 1: was very similar to m davies. Yeah, so Rachel wore 384 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 1: unbuttoned jeans and a white sports bra, while Toby wore 385 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: a white long sleeve shirt and jeans, and Aarna wore 386 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: a very cute white dress. I don't know how influencers 387 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: managed to get their partners to be involved in these 388 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: elaborate photo shoots, because I found it difficult enough to 389 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: get Reese to just be in a photo. Is it 390 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: the dollar signs? I mean, I actually had to take 391 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: my pregnancy announcement photo again because I somehow talked my 392 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: husband into wearing Christmas pajamas, so Amy well matching ones. 393 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 1: Amy originally took the photo and when he saw them, 394 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: he's like, oh my god, I'm going to get so 395 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: much stick from my friends from this. Can we please 396 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: take a photo in normal clothes? Maybe you have to 397 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: drop the original photo in like our Facebook community or 398 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 1: a private post. He was actually very cute. Now in 399 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: this video, Anna is hugging Rachel and Toby. She's also 400 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: seen kissing Rachel's bump and holding up the pregnancy test 401 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: and I got very confused because there was large letters 402 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: across it which said sister. And at first I was like, 403 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: oh my god, are they using this to announce the gender? 404 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: Are they saying that this is Anna's sister? But I 405 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: think they're just saying that Anna is a sister. 406 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. 407 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 1: Well, I looked at the comment section and no one 408 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: was leaving pink love heart, so there was no mention 409 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: of a baby girl. So I was like, Okay, it 410 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: must just be because she's going to be a big sister. 411 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: But through me, I did see a lot of references 412 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: to the fact that she's going to be a big sister. 413 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: I actually saw something that doctor Gollie, who's a pediatrician, 414 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: quite a famous pediatrician. We all know doctor God, Yeah, 415 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 1: yeah we do. I think it was actually on Steph 416 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: Clesmith's podcast. She was talking about how doctor Gollie had 417 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: advised her when she was telling Harvey that she was 418 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: having a baby to make it sound really special that 419 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: he's going to be a big brother. Oh, I'm wondering 420 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: if they've had advice there. Well, this baby is due 421 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: in the middle of the year, so the couple captioned 422 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: the post simply coming July. And this news didn't come 423 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: as a complete surprise to Rachel's followers, because last week 424 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: she shared an Instagram story saying I feel so blessed. 425 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: I get so excited to come home. They just returned 426 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: from another trip, and she wrote, back to my routine 427 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: and back to a very exciting work here for twenty 428 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: twenty five. I have so much to share with all 429 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: of you now. Due to that last line, a lot 430 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,959 Speaker 1: of Rachel's followers speculated that she was set to make 431 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: a pregnancy announcement. I mean, it's terrible because she did 432 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: get married last year, and I feel like as soon 433 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: as influencers get married, everyone's like, when am I having 434 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: a baby? And then as soon as I have a baby, 435 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: everyone's like, when are they having a second one? I 436 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: hate it. Isn't that just life in gener Yeah? Now, 437 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: this post was of course inundated with congratulations from the 438 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: Blue Tick Brigade. So Rachel's sister, who created a bit 439 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: of a stir when she sang at her wedding, wrote, 440 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: our sweet baby, you were so loved already and your 441 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: Auntie is already so obsessed with you, counting down the 442 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: days until I get to meet you earthside. Apologies in 443 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: advance for the fifty thousand convos you're going to have 444 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,239 Speaker 1: to listen to of your Mum and I while you 445 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: grow in her tummy. Her bridesmaid Isabelle Mathers, who copped 446 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: a lot of flack over what she wore to Rachel's 447 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: rehearsal dinner, wrote words can't explain my excitement. I love 448 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: you both so much. You're going to be the best 449 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: Mum and Grace. Beverly wrote, oh my gosh, congratulations, So 450 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: happy for you both. 451 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 4: Really non biased opinion. Australian Open is the best time 452 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 4: in the tennis season and we are backed. 453 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: The Australian Open is currently in full swing in Melbourne 454 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: and although I don't know all of the top seeds 455 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: names like I used to, my appetite for the tournament 456 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: has been renewed by the self proclaimed tennis wags. Now, 457 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: while the term wag used to be considered demeaning, many 458 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: of the wives and girlfriends currently on the tour are 459 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: reclaiming the title and having some fun with it. God, 460 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: how has it been a year since the Australian Open. 461 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: You and I went last year, That does not seem 462 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: a year ago. I'm having fomo because literally every influencer 463 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: and their dogs seems to be there, and I just 464 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: want to be their people watching. Yeah, you keep screenshotting 465 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: different influences at the event and sending the demand being like, 466 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: I want to be there. I know, because I just 467 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: love the tennis. I'm getting all these snapchat memories from 468 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: seven years ago when we went to the Open and 469 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: we were really invested and we were going to all 470 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: of the players practice matches and all of them the 471 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: view of the practice. Yeah, and it was when we 472 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,959 Speaker 1: love Nadol. I'm so sad that he doesn't play anymore. 473 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: But this is why I'm more interested in the Wags now, 474 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: because I don't really know any of the big players, 475 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: and if there was a Queen of the Wags, it 476 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: would definitely beat Morgan Riddle. Yeah. We spoke a bit 477 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 1: about her last year on the podcast because she made headlines. 478 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 1: When was it she had to eat veggiemite? Yeah, So 479 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 1: she dates US tennis player Taylor Fritz, who is incredibly hot, 480 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: like he is probably the pinup I think of the 481 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: tennis world. At the moment. Has he got Andy Roddick 482 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: vibes from back in the day. He does, actually, I 483 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: mean he's brunette, but yeah, he's very good looking. I'd 484 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: recommend checking out his games. But basically, she said that 485 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: if he got into the quarter finals, she would eat 486 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: a jar a veggiemite. And this ended up being really 487 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: funny because she I think she went live on her 488 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: Instagram and she could only manage a spoonful and almost vomited. 489 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it'd be pretty hard to eat a whole 490 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 1: jar of veggiemite. No, And it's pretty crazy because in 491 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: the space of a couple of years, she has been 492 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: dubbed the most famous woman in men's tennis, and she 493 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: has a massive social media following. She's got half a 494 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: million followers on TikTok and they tune in to watch 495 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: all of her tennis outfits and also get a glimpse 496 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,479 Speaker 1: of what it's like to be on the tour. And 497 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: she is always immaculately presented. I can't wait to see 498 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: her outfits this year. She has a stylist who pulls 499 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: together a lot of her looks and she loves to 500 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: dress in theme. It's not Paul Versaci is it because 501 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 1: I feel like he is the only stylist in Melbourne 502 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: at the moment, So she has a stylist I think 503 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: who travels with her. Oh okay, because side note, has 504 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: anyone noticed that he and Olivia Rodgers appear not to 505 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: be friends anymore. I'm really upset because I actually can't 506 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: see Olivia Rodgers content anymore. And I was a big 507 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: fan of her. She ended up blocking the podcast around 508 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: the time that we were covering the story about her 509 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: ex husband Justin Well, she blocked our personal pages. No, 510 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: I think when you block the podcast, it automatically blocked 511 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: our personal pages. I like to think I think she 512 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: blocked them. 513 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 4: Well. 514 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 1: I was a bit sad about that. But I can't 515 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: see her content anymore. It's so weird when you follow 516 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: someone for years and then suddenly you don't see their 517 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: content and it's like they've fallen off the face of 518 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,679 Speaker 1: So if anything does happen that we need to report on, 519 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: please let us know what. She did have a tennis event. 520 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: But anyway, getting back to Morgan Riddle, I've really enjoyed 521 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 1: watching her updates as the tennis tournament started to kick 522 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: off because she actually spent Christmas in Australia and she's 523 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: been giving her followers a glimpse of what actually goes 524 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: on behind the scenes. And I always thought that life 525 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: as a tennis wag would be really glamorous, and her 526 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: flogs have confirmed this because she revealed that the Australian 527 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: Open has a gifting suite for players and our partners. 528 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 4: Most big tournaments have these gifting suites. Kind of makes 529 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 4: it feel like an influencer trail. 530 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: We're going to do a very. 531 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 4: Quick cell of the player guests go and barks from Mecca. 532 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 4: For my Americans, Mecca is like the Australian version of Sephora. 533 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 4: We've got all sorts of Getty's ask strecham Pooh. This 534 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 4: is one of my favorite products of all time. If 535 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 4: you use this on flates, you will not break out. 536 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 4: They go through like one a month now. 537 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: Among her whole was also a carry on case from July, 538 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: as well as clothing, tennis socks, a ton of expensive 539 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: skin care and makeup products. There was one item that 540 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: stumped her though, and it was a soft toy Echidna. 541 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 4: I don't know what this says like in real life, spiky, 542 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 4: but if any Australians want to tell me what that says. 543 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,719 Speaker 1: I literally have no idea. What's the real life spike? 544 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: Is she referring to a porcupine because I feel like 545 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 1: an echidna is really the American version of a porcupine. 546 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: It is interesting that they didn't pick a koala or 547 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: a kangaroo. Maybe they wanted something that was a bit unique. 548 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: They didn't get as much airtime. And it is clear 549 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: that this has been an educational experience for her because 550 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: she had a lot of Australians shocked that she didn't know, 551 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 1: hitting her up saying this is an echidna. Well, great 552 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: for her engagement. I wonder if the Australian Open used 553 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: to do this gifting suite before social media. I guess 554 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: they would, but maybe not to the extent that they 555 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: do it now. It's really interesting because as the partner 556 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: of a tennis player, you also get access to all 557 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: of the player cafes and you literally get given free 558 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 1: food and drink. And Morgan explained that she is a 559 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: huge fan of Australian coffee. She said that American coffee 560 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: tastes like dish water in comparison. She did try Australian 561 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: bacon though, and described it as a very unpleasant experience, 562 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: so it's made me curious. I mean, I am vegetarian. 563 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: I have had bacon before, though, what's the difference. There 564 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: is a difference because when I went to Utah with 565 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: the thirty six's, we stayed at a hotel and because 566 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: it was a work trip, we had to just eat 567 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: at the buffet every day. So unpleasant. And they do 568 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: have a different type of bacon. Oh okay, it's sort 569 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: of can't it kind of looks like fake bacon. It 570 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: looks very processed. Any Americans let us know. I also 571 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,959 Speaker 1: found it quite fascinating because a lot of the tennis players' 572 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: partners are also using the Australian Open as an opportunity 573 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 1: to hold brand launches. So the girlfriend of an Italian 574 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: tennis player called Mia Savo, she launched her own tennis 575 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: inspired athletic brand. So she isn't from Melbourne, She's obviously 576 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: from Italy and she doesn't have the social media reach 577 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: that Morgan does. She only has five thousand followers. But 578 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 1: she invited Morgan as well as a couple of the 579 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,199 Speaker 1: other tennis player's girlfriends along to a launch that she 580 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: held at a private tennis club and overlooked a grass 581 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: tennis court. They even served tennis teeny's. It's a tennis 582 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: teeny well, it's basically a martini with light she balls 583 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 1: that look like tennis balls. So it was very it 584 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,479 Speaker 1: was very cute. I wonder how the tennis players feel though, 585 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 1: if they're happy to share their spotlight like this, well, 586 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 1: I think it's only fair that if their partner has 587 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: chosen to travel around with them on the tour, that 588 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 1: they can also continue to work and influencing. As much 589 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: as people don't like it, it is a genuine job 590 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: and a lot of these women may actually be earning 591 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: more money than their partners playing tennis or similar That's 592 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: the thing. A lot of these tennis players partners are 593 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: in fact influencers. And my TikTok algorithm knows me too 594 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: well because it has also introduced me to Paige Lorenz, 595 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: who is the girlfriend of American tennis player Tommy Paul. Now, 596 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 1: she shares a lot of similarities with Morgan as not 597 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: only is she stunning, but as I said, she also 598 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: has a huge social media following. So she also has 599 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: half a million followers on TikTok, and she shares a 600 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: lot of life, style and fashion content, and The New 601 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: York Post has dubbed Paige as the female Pete Davidson 602 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: because she has had quite a number of high profile partners. 603 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 1: So who's she been with? Well, she initially started to 604 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: grow her following online because she started dating an NHL 605 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: hockey player. She then gained even more followers when she 606 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: dated Armie Hammer, and she has also dated country singer 607 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 1: Morgan Wollen and also TV personality Tyler Cameron. I have 608 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: to say, though, I wouldn't call her Pete Davidson because 609 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: Pete Davison Moore gets this rap of being this ugly 610 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 1: guy who dates all of these hot actresses. This woman 611 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: is stunning. Yeah, it's not like she's batting above her 612 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: average or anything. Okay, you have to check out this 613 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: video because Paige shared how she prepped for her big 614 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: travel to Australia. 615 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 2: Boyfriend's playing in the Australian Open and I'm about to 616 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 2: leave for Australia the. 617 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: Long travel days, so I wanted you a little blog. 618 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: I was super confused by this video because Paige then 619 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: started to prep food for the flight and she called 620 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: it an aeroplane snack. This seems to be an American thing. Yeah, 621 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: but it was a full on meal. She did have 622 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: the awareness to point out that it wasn't normal. So 623 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: she made a healthy, homemade pasta salad, and then she 624 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: packed herself a cheese board in a container, and she 625 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: described the whole process as self care. I'm just glad 626 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: to see people Parona in the fact that they eat 627 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: normal things, Like imagine if it was like, I'm cooking 628 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: up this ultra healthy meal. 629 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 4: Like. 630 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: I love that she had a cheese board. Yeah, I 631 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: mean it looked delicious, But I want to point out 632 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: she wasn't flying cattle class. She was flying first class, 633 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: so she had her own little pod. She had access 634 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: to amazing food, so I was very confused why she 635 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: would pack her own. Maybe it's just because she travels 636 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: so often that she doesn't really like the food. Like personally, 637 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm obviously not traveling first class, but aeroplane 638 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: food always upsets my stomach. I did get upgraded once 639 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: to business class, and the food was so much better. 640 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: I have to say, though, if I packed myself a 641 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: whole cheese board, I think that would upset my stomach. True. Now, unsurprisingly, 642 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: the flight attendants went above and beyond to make her 643 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: feel very comfortable. 644 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 2: We took off, and then another one of the sweetest 645 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 2: amount I've ever met in my whole life literally offered 646 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 2: to make me my bed to sleep. He was so cute, 647 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 2: and I say, I literally could pray. I wanted to 648 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 2: give him the world. He literally like tucked me into bed. 649 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 2: I could sab he was an angel on this earth. 650 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: Did you feel myself being tucked in? 651 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 4: Like? 652 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: Was this? Yes? Oh god, this was so awkward. I mean, 653 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: this is the definition of pretty privilege here. I'm sorry, 654 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: but those flight attendants aren't just tucking anyone in. This 655 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: was an older man who tucked her in. Oh god. Now, 656 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: if there's anyone else I should be following any more wags, 657 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: please let me know, because I just love being a 658 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: fly on the wall of their life and vicariously living 659 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: my dream of being a tennis wag. Well, you've got 660 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: your phone in your hand at the moment, so I'm 661 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: sure TikTok is listening to every word you're saying and 662 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: it's going to serve it up in your algorithm. Let's 663 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: get into our Friday features. So if I'll kick us off, 664 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: my Friday feature is the return of Love Island UK 665 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: All Stars. So it is now streaming on nine now. 666 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: It started on Wednesday, and I am so excited because 667 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: Eck and Sue is back and it means and that 668 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: means one thing. Dave Day is definitely returning as a bombshell. 669 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: If he comes in as a bombshell, I'm going to 670 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: put it out there. This is going to be the 671 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: best series of Love Island. All of my favorites are back. 672 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: We've got Luca Bish. He is a controversial favorite because 673 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: he got a bit of a bad rap in that series. 674 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: I thought he was hilarious. He was told he was controlling. Yeah, 675 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: I want to see him without Gemma because he really 676 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: locked himself down early with her. I want to see 677 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: him be a bit of a player. Well, he was 678 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: very respectful because it did get brought up on the 679 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: show what would you do if Gemma was brought in? 680 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: And he said he would actually leave because he would 681 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: want her to have a great experience there without him, 682 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: And I think that people wanted to try and get 683 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: the dirt about her, and he was very respectful, didn't 684 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: say anything. People are saying that he seems to have 685 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: a crush on Eck and Suit I haven't watched it 686 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: yet because we are pre recording this on Wednesday before 687 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: the episode has dropped. I've only seen a few little 688 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,479 Speaker 1: features on Instagram, but people are like, oh, yeah, he's 689 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: definitely keen on Eck and Sue, but doesn't want to 690 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: say anything. I'm a little concerned because there have been 691 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: reports in the Sun that Eck and Sue only agreed 692 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: to come back on the proviso that David eight does 693 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: not make a return. I'm hoping that's bullshit and that 694 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: they're trying to just not be ultra obvious because last year, 695 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: when the All Stars series aired for the first time, 696 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: it was quite a surprise to see Love Island bringing 697 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: back people's exes. It felt very much reminiscent of X 698 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: on the Beach. It was a great new element. Though. 699 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: Have you seen they've brought back Casey for a third 700 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: year in a row. He was on I think the 701 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four series. He then returned for the All 702 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: Star series, and he's back again. I'm not interested in 703 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: seeing him. I know you liked him on TikTok. Oh. Oh, 704 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: that's why he's back, because he's super popular on TikTok 705 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: Now that must be why there were some people that 706 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: didn't recognize. Like, again, we are prerecording this, so I 707 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: haven't actually sat down, but I'm like, who is that? 708 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: And who is that? On Instagram? I thought that Curtis 709 00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: was Andrew. Oh Andrew, Yes, we Tashed confused because I'm like, 710 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: aren't he and Tash still together? But Curtis. Curtis has 711 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: actually been partnered up with Eck and Sue, So Eck 712 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: and Sue picked him, which really surprised me. I cannot 713 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: see the two of them getting along with at all. 714 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: I can because he and Mara didn't make sense, but 715 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: then they kind of worked. I mean they did, they 716 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: were together off the show for a little while. Maybe 717 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: he wants a very strong woman like Eck and Sue. 718 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't see Ek and Sue sticking with 719 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: the first person that she picked. She's gonna be making 720 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: out with someone on the terrace. God, if only they 721 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: could get Molly May and Tommy Fury on there, Like, 722 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: how much money do you think they'd have to pay 723 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: to get them back? Lass, I don't think there's any 724 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: money in the world. Because Molly May has worked very 725 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: hard to distance herself from I suppose to perceived tackiness 726 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: of the show and be seen as this celebrity in 727 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: her own right. Imagine that if she popped up as 728 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 1: a bombshell, she won't. There's no way in hell that 729 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 1: she will. Now, So what's your Friday feature? So I 730 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: want to talk about my recent Christmas present I received, 731 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: and it is a Smeg mixer. So I was shocked 732 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: to receive this because I knew that we were giving 733 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:03,479 Speaker 1: Amy a Smeg mixer for Christmas, and my husband's family 734 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: were very generous and gifted me one. Luckily, they're different colors, 735 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: so I've got the white, Amy's got the black, You've 736 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: got the peak. Imagine leaving them around each other's houses 737 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: getting confused. I know now I haven't used it yet 738 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: because I feel a lot of pressure because you, Kate, 739 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 1: are the queen of the kitchen. I growing up very 740 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: much loved cooking, but I was your Sioux chef and 741 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 1: I want to learn how to make your cinnamon scroll. 742 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: So I've asked for the recipe, but you have told 743 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: me that there's a few tricks with this recipe adding 744 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: extra butter, so I will have to share how I 745 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: go over the weekend. Yeah, so the recipe is from 746 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: Ambitious Kitchen. But I actually tried to make it, I 747 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: think three or four times before actually mastering really so, 748 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: I found that the dough was too dry, so I 749 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: add extra butter. I'm actually very nervous now to hear 750 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: that this has taken you quite a number of attempts, 751 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: because my husband's like, could you please make cinnamon scrolls. 752 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: I love Kate cinnamon scroll doesn't actually like that. Yeah, 753 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: he likes them. I need to cook them again, I 754 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 1: hope because the machine is so esthetically pleasing it will 755 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: somehow make my cooking better. I hate to tell you, 756 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: but it won't. Okay, well, at least I don't have 757 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: to get a sore arm from mixing. I think that 758 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: is all we have time for today. Thank you so 759 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: much for joining us for this episode.
