1 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Coming up on today's show, The South Australian Tourism Commission 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: is under fire for holding an intimate influencer only event 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: with superstar Sam Smith. Sophie Kaysha is linked to another athlete, 4 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: this time one with an uncanny resemblance to her former fiance. 5 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 1: Mitch Orville asks his followers for help. After four wet 6 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: dreams in this space of a month, and just like that, 7 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: Aiden and Carrie are back together. Hello, and welcome back 8 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: to About Spoken. It's your dose of the hottest influencer 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: and pop culture news twice a week. You're joined by Amy, 10 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 1: Sophie and Kate Torber. Now let's get straight into the show. 11 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 2: So I'm just very salty and I think SATC have 12 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 2: a lot to answer for. 13 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 3: The South Australian Tourism Commission is facing heavy backlash from 14 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 3: locals after holding an invitation only event with superstar Sam Smith. 15 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 3: Fans were excited when back in November it was announced 16 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 3: Sam was heading to Adelaide. However, were left disappointed when 17 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 3: it was revealed the crowd of three hundred concertgoers would 18 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 3: be made up solely of influencers, media identities and a 19 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 3: handful of competition winners. Now, the aim of Sam coming 20 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,839 Speaker 3: to South Australia and performance at the darren Berg Cube 21 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 3: was to attract national and international exposure to the state. 22 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 3: But all anyone seems to be able to focus on 23 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 3: right now is the use of taxpayer funds for what's 24 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 3: been labeled an elitist event. Now, a large majority of 25 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 3: the audience was made up of South Australian influencers and 26 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 3: members of the media, and from my experience running our 27 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 3: pr agency, Huler Media, quite a large number of the 28 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 3: Adelaide influencers invited would fall into the micro influencer category 29 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 3: and most have followings that range from around nine thousand 30 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 3: to thirty thousand followers. What struck me was that the 31 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 3: majority of these essay based influencers who were invited only 32 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 3: have a South Australian following. They don't have a national audience. 33 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: So what is the point of these people promoting South 34 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: Australia back to people living in South Australia. The point 35 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: was to get a message out to lots of people 36 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: to say, hey, come and visit us that live nationally 37 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: or internationally. I really don't understand and this strategy I 38 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: think it was completely off. Now they said that they 39 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: invited a few big names. Of the big names there 40 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: that I could see it was the projects carry Bit 41 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: Moore also one of my favorite content creators, Jimmy jan 42 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: They did get my tic of approval there. For those 43 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: who don't know him, I would highly recommend following. He 44 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: is a twenty two year old medical student who were 45 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: shared about his experience with disability after he became paralyzed 46 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: in a skiing accident. Yeah, I love him, He's great 47 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: to follow. One that didn't get my tic of approval 48 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: had to be Sophie Keasia because she has famously said 49 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: that she hates Adelaide. So I don't know why the 50 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: SATC would invite someone who doesn't like Adelaide. I would 51 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: be really curious to know the decision process that went 52 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: into these South Australian based influences. As you mentioned, Amy, 53 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: we have our own PR company and a lot of 54 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: the people who are invited were sort of the regular 55 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 1: crowd that would go to the opening of an envelope, 56 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: So and I have question some of their followings the 57 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: legitimacy of them. I also saw a number of local 58 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: media Adelaide identities and while they have sway obviously in 59 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: the media here. Their followings are very small and so 60 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: media Michela. They're not national at all. The whole joke 61 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: of it is I follow a lot of South Australian 62 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: identities and I didn't even know this concert was happening. 63 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about it until she Adelaide posted 64 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: about the complete uproar that was going on about it. 65 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: I would be very interested to know which of these 66 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: so called influences and celebrities were paid to attend. Clearly 67 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: the bigger aims probably were paid to attend. There was 68 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: a contract in place. Maybe they ran out of money 69 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: and could only afford some of these c grade Adelaide 70 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: influencers to come. 71 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, and a lot of. 72 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: The influences from South Australia who posted I didn't see 73 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: anything like hashtag gifted or no one does it because 74 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: they've had no experience working with genuine large campaigns. Now, 75 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: the ABC were one of the only publications to slam 76 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: this event, most probably because the rest of the commercial 77 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: networks were in some sort of arrangement for SAT Yeah exactly. So, 78 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: for instance, advertiser journalists attended this as well as radio personality, 79 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: so clearly they're not going to call it out. Now, 80 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: the ABC question the South Australian government on how much 81 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: the invitation own the event cost tax payers. The government 82 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: has refused to reveal how much taxpayer money went into 83 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: this event. Yeah, we just finished watching this press conference 84 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: and the Tourism Minister Zoe Bettison, I'm sorry, but it 85 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: was bullshit. She said that they can't reveal how much 86 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: they've spent because there are a lot of confidentiality agreements 87 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: in place around the spending. I'm sorry, but it's taxpayers money. 88 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: They should be able to tell us how much this 89 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: event costs, because we are essentially the ones paying for 90 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: Sophiicasia or for these micro influences to get flown over 91 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: the state for no purpose. Zoe Betterson had to come 92 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: out and defend herself because the Liberal Party accused the 93 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 1: Labor Party of spending one million dollars just on fees 94 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: to get Sam Smith at the event. 95 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 3: She also said that the. 96 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: Government would have to look at the return on investment 97 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: from this event. But it's very unclear how the success 98 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: of this event is being measured. It's very up in 99 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: the air. It's one of those things, particularly social media campaigns, 100 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: where it is quite difficult to determine. 101 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 3: It is so. 102 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: A South Australian by the name of Jared Walker, who 103 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: prior to this did not have a following, was one 104 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: of the very first people to call the event. He 105 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: explained that he is part of the LGBTQI plus community 106 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,559 Speaker 1: and this is not hate speech against Sam. He wrote, 107 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: the experience was not inclusive to all, seems to go 108 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: against everything Sam stands for. The event, which was attended 109 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: by a select group of celebrities and influencers, media personnel 110 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: and a few lucky members of the public who won tickets, 111 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: cost millions of dollars to host and left many South 112 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: Australians feeling left out. He continued. The satc's decision to 113 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: host this event was met with a great deal of criticism, 114 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: as it seemed the Commission had squandered millions of dollars 115 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: on a concert for the elite. Jarathan weighed in and 116 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: gave some predicted costs after looking into a talent agency, 117 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: and he said the cost of book Sam Smith probably 118 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: ranged from one million dollars to one point four million dollars. 119 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: He then did the sums, saying that if you average 120 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: the cost of a million dollar concert, each ticket cost 121 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: is staggering three thou three hundred and thirty three dollars, 122 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: so to attend this event, attendees were required to post 123 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: a few stories tagging the winery and the SATC, which 124 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: men he see as a very unbalanced exchange for a 125 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: three thousand dollar ticket, particularly based on the number of 126 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: followers that some of these micro influencers had. Well. Jared 127 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: rounded this up by saying that the marketing strategy was 128 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: a very poor use of resources when there are thousands 129 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: of people struggling across South Australia, and he cited the 130 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: recent floods and also the cost of living that's spiraling 131 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: out of control at the moment, and he made some 132 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: incredibly good points. I just don't understand why it had 133 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: to be invY only. Why couldn't they have a select 134 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: number of influencers like you carry bitmore and actually your 135 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: big named influences there and then open it up for 136 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: the public to attend. Well, they had a really good 137 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: case study they could have gone by because the new 138 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: South Wales government brought Ellie Goulding over recently and they 139 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,799 Speaker 1: held her performance at the Domain and it was attended 140 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: by twenty five thousand people. Which would have had far 141 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: more of a social media reach for the state, and 142 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,119 Speaker 1: the concert was free to attend for the first twenty 143 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: five thousand people, So I mean, what are we doing 144 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: just inviting three hundred influences to an event well particular Also, 145 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: I don't understand Sam Smith's involvement because what is this 146 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: got to do with anything? It wouldn't have been better 147 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 1: to have a local South Australian performing at the concert, 148 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 1: like Guy Sebastian or I don't know, just anyone that 149 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: actually is connected to the stack. Now Sophie Edwards, who 150 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: you might know from Richie Strawn season of The Bachelor. 151 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: It was very quick to call the event out just 152 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: for some contexts. Last year, Sophie was diagnosed with bow 153 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: cancer and she's been sharing her journey online and it's 154 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: very powerful content she's putting out there, so I'd also 155 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: recommend giving her a follow now. She was appalled by 156 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: the exclusive nature of this event and said that there 157 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: are so many South Australians in need who would have 158 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: greatly benefited by attending. Here's what she said. 159 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 2: I just feel like there are a lot of people 160 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 2: in Adelaide who would never ever get that opportunity to 161 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 2: experience something like that that continuously missed out. I'm not 162 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 2: saying me couldn't give a shit about me, but you know, 163 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: if I'd been offered tickets, I actually would have offered 164 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 2: them to my mum and sister for everything that they 165 00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: had done they have done for me during my cancer experience, 166 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 2: you know, people who are going through illness. I just 167 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 2: feel like there was a very missed opportunity. A lot 168 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 2: of those influences that were invited were South Australian influencers 169 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 2: that don't have a reach interstate. So what the fuck 170 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 2: was the point or spending all that money for three 171 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 2: hundred people at a ticket that would have worked out 172 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 2: to be something close to three and a half thousand 173 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 2: dollars per person. It's just mind boggling that tax payer 174 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 2: money went towards that when you know you could have 175 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 2: had an open air, beautiful concert that people would have 176 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 2: been paid willing to pay a reasonable price for. And 177 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: you can have a select few from the community that 178 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 2: you invite for media purposes, but also you can then 179 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 2: do a community outreach and give back to the community 180 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 2: for people that always miss out, like a community outreach 181 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 2: program like Engage with CAMPC quality for their parents that 182 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 2: are constantly the stress of having a chronically ill child 183 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 2: to have one night where they could just experience something 184 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 2: that they never would normally experience and could never afford. 185 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: So I'm just very salty and I think SATC have 186 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: a lot to answer for. And it's very high school 187 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 2: them deciding who's in and who's out. I'm done with that. 188 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: She was definitely spot on with calling at high school. 189 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: That's how I felt when I saw this event appearing 190 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: in my feed. It did come across as very clicking, 191 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: and I don't think that's a sort of imaging that 192 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: the South Australian Tourism Commission wants to put across being 193 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: in Adelaide. The image that was portrayed to me as 194 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: a viewer was look how important we all are at 195 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: this event and you're not invited. It was very elitist. 196 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: One thing I did have a laugh about, though, was 197 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: everyone was touting that Sam Smith was going to be 198 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: showcasing all of South Australia's beautiful spots and food and wine, 199 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: and unfortunately what happened was I caused quite a stir 200 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: because they ended up posting a it's standing outside McDonald's 201 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 1: doing a mac has run not quite the image I 202 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: think the SATC wanted out there about do we know 203 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: which McDonald's it was? Yes, it was actually at the 204 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: Murro's part McDonald's, which is one we used to visit 205 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: growing up. Yeah, that's right near the spotlight, isn't it. 206 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: I don't really think that's the nicest McDonald's that you 207 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: want to be highlighting in South Australia. South Road's not 208 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: really a very picturesque spot, is it. Well. Many questions 209 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: whether this was one of South Australia's greatest experiences. On 210 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: off now popular South Australian page, Shit Adelaide wrote, we 211 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: weren't on the elite invite list and presumably aren't influential enough. 212 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: We are saddened by this. Now for some context, they 213 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: are probably the most influential page in South Australia. Continued 214 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: saying that they weren't sad because they missed an invitation 215 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: to a concert because Sam Smith has never once featured 216 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: on their Spotify playlist, but rather they would have enjoyed 217 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: the after party at the iconic South Australian restaurant McDonald's. 218 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: They continued saying the new hockey Pokey Kara milk mcflurry 219 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: is delicious. It would taste even better if we could 220 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: charge it to the taxpayer. So a bit of a 221 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 1: burn there. It seems like the sat currently have their 222 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: tail in between their legs because they haven't even yet 223 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: featured any photos of videos at the concert, which is 224 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,719 Speaker 1: making it really hard to track who they even invited 225 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: to it. I wonder if they're doing this because there 226 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: has been a lot of public backlash and they don't 227 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: want to be putting the content out there. Definitely. I 228 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: thought it was odd that Sammy Robinson and Jarde Twinci 229 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: didn't get an invite because they have been invited to 230 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: a lot of other SATC event and they've logged the event, 231 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: so I haven't even seen anything on YouTube from influencers 232 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: about it. I just feel like this event came across 233 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: as though South Australia was just fangirling Sam Smith. It 234 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 1: wasn't as though South Australia was being fangirled when that's 235 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: what it was supposed to be. We're supposed to be 236 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: showing up how great South Australia is, and as a 237 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: South Australian it just came across as really elitist, as 238 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: though members from the SATC and the media were just 239 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: inviting their powers, which is a strange feeling because Sam 240 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: Smith's brand is built on inclusivity. Who do you think 241 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: is to blame there though? Is it just that the 242 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: wrong influencers were picked, or is it the whole strategy 243 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: of having it as this elite invite only event. A 244 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: bit from COLUMNAE, A bit from Colin B. I think 245 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: that they totally missed the mark in selecting the right 246 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: people to invite to this event. If they were going 247 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: to go down the route of inviting just influences, I 248 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: think that there needed to be much larger influencers there 249 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: with national and international followings. And that's the thing. It's 250 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: not to say that there aren't South Australian influencers out 251 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: there that have national audiences. There are a lot of them, 252 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: but it seems like, as you said, there was a 253 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: lot of well, we're just going to invite our friends 254 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: that we normally invite to these PR events because it's 255 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 1: easy as tick a box. I'm just really baffled as 256 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: to why this event wasn't more inclusive. It's not hard 257 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: to invite influencers and have a special VIP area for them. 258 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 1: They can all be front row and then fill out 259 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: the rest of the area with the general public. Run 260 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: more competitions. I mean, there's a lot of media organizations 261 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: that were invited that would have loved to run a combetition. 262 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 1: And that's a thing. I don't want to sound like 263 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: we're shit canning the SATC, because they do do some 264 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: wonderful work across our state. I think it's just the 265 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: fact that there was a really great opportunity to spotlight 266 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: South Australia and it's such an incredible place to visit, 267 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: and I think it just really didn't reach the mark. 268 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: I wonder if it came down to inexperience because in 269 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: the past, the SATC, as we said, has invited a 270 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: number of influencers over they've had exclusive dinners. Maybe they thought, well, 271 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: we just need to make this an exclusive event because 272 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: it's very old school PI, isn't it. Let's just hold 273 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: an event and invite really important people. Took a million 274 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: dollars for the year the act to appear. I think 275 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: that this might show a gap between the actual influencer 276 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 1: marketing team and maybe the big wigs at the SATC, 277 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: because surely there was a member of this team that 278 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: could have seen how badly this would have looked from 279 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: a pr perspective. But it's almost like there's this miscommunication 280 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: between both departments and they thought that this was a 281 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: great idea to have it very exclusive, when an actual 282 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 1: factor has done the complete opposite and made everyone feel 283 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: excluded and just focus on the negatives of this event. 284 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: I'm also at a loss to understand how a one 285 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: off event which won't be replicated, will attract interstate tourists 286 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: to South this Sutralia. It's not as though they're promoting 287 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: something that you can come and see. If anything, it 288 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: has just put people who are very big fans of 289 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: Sam Smith on the back foot because they must feel 290 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: very left out. Can you imagine if your favorite musician 291 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: came to South Australia and you couldn't even get tickets 292 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: to it. If Taylor Swift was here and only a 293 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: bunch of really nobody influencers were invited, I'd be so 294 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: pissed off. But I'm pissed off from a perspective that 295 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: my tax payers dollars has gone towards this, which was 296 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: let's be honest as shit strategy from the get go. Yeah, 297 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: I think this event could have been great had they 298 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: invited the appropriate people. 299 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 3: That's what it comes down to. 300 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: I think that they should have actually gone for a 301 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: big name influencer, potentially someone like Grace Beverly who's in 302 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: Australia at the moment. She's got over a million followers. 303 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: They're all mostly from the UK, but in other parts 304 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: of the world. Why not go for a strategy of 305 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: inviting young influential females if that's the target audience you're 306 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: going for, to get over here, backpackers and get them 307 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: here flogging our beautiful state. We recently had Anastasia kings 308 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: North in Australia. Why not invited her over? I think 309 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: it's particularly disappointing as well because Sam Smith really didn't 310 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: seem to get the memo as we touched on the 311 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: images that they shared of South Australia. Well, very disappointing. 312 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: I mean, the focus has been on the fact he 313 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: gives a fuck that. Yeah, it's more let's show off 314 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: our state. All we saw was the Darrenberg Cube, which 315 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: does look amazing, but it's like, I'm not going to 316 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: be watching this from the other side of the one 317 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: and be like, I need to check that. 318 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 3: Must go there. 319 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: And then also people think, oh, I must go there 320 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: for a concert when there's no concerts being held there. 321 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense. 322 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 4: I was eighteen years old with a random MASSI following 323 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 4: just given to me. Our videos are getting millions of 324 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 4: views every week. I was fresh eighteen. What do you 325 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 4: do when you start turnating, you start partying. 326 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: I never thought we'd be discussing this, but Mitch Orville 327 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: has shared how he's had four wet dreams in less 328 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: than a month. The twenty six year old influencer took 329 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: to Instagram asking his followers to help. Their advice will 330 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: surprise you before we share what Mis's followers had to say. 331 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: I feel like we need more background on what's been 332 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: going on with Mitch Jamie. So last week Mitch jumped 333 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: on his stories looking for answers. He said, I wasn't 334 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: going to say anything, but I'm stumped for ideas on this. 335 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to bring it to the public because 336 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: the Internet is giving me donuts. But long story short, 337 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: I haven't had a wet dream since I was about 338 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: fifteen years old. I've had four in the last three weeks. 339 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: Four wet dreams? Is anyone able to share with me 340 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: what is possibly going on? Because I'm leaking from the sack. 341 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: Normally you don't see influencers asking these sort of questions. 342 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: Isn't it question box wim I having wet dreams? Or? 343 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: He went on to joke that he'd have to start 344 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: wearing his son Artie's nappies, and he also later clarified 345 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: that he wasn't talking about wetting the bed. He said, 346 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about pissing the bed. By the way, 347 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: it's much worse. Ps. I can't remember my dreams, just 348 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: the proof that they happen. I feel like this podcast 349 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: has gone really low brow and if his story couldn't 350 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: get any stranger, Wait, do we hear the reasons why 351 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: Mitch's followers think he's had being wet dreams? It's not 352 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 1: what you think. So in Mitch's stories, followers noticed he 353 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: was wearing an Opal necklace and said this could be 354 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: to blame. One user wrote, the Opal on your neck 355 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: Google it powerful. This is just reminded me of Genie 356 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: Genie from down Under. Yeah, it's giving a whole meaning 357 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: to Penelope rubbing on it Opal. Another user wrote, have 358 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: you looked into your Opal necklace. Not sure how long 359 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: you've been wearing it, but it's for emotion and freedom. Now, 360 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: Mitch said he was absolutely shook by the gemstone theory 361 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: and shared the following blurb about opals. So it said 362 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: the gemstone has been associated with the shackral shark crack. 363 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: That's hard to say, imbalances of which can cause problems 364 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: with addictions. Some people believe the Opal can help moderate 365 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,479 Speaker 1: and harmonize sexual desires. European cultures have long believed Opal 366 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: is a symbol of hope, purity, and truth. Did he 367 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: actually say whether he started having the wet dreams after 368 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: wearing the opal or has he been wearing it for 369 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: a long time. It seems to think it has something 370 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: to do with it. I wonder if he's going to 371 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: remove the Opal. I mean, why are you wearing an 372 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: open necklace when you're sleep? That would be very relaxing. Well, 373 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: I've done a little bit of my own research tool. Yeah, 374 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: and I feel like this makes a bit more sense 375 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: than the Opal theory. So it said a cause of 376 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: wet dreams may actually be a prolonged period of abstinence, 377 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: which may cause the build up of testosteroe. Well, there's 378 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: rumors that they're living in separate apartments, but then Chloe 379 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: did have that pregnancy test, which wasn't too long ago, 380 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: so who knows now. In other news, Mitch revealed Heat 381 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 1: and Chloe are releasing a parenting podcast, which I'm not 382 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: shocked about because we did predict that they would be 383 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: starting possibly a family channel, and have a big focus 384 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: of their online presence around their family and parenting. I 385 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: really hope they're not going to be giving advice on 386 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: whether to vaccinie or children or all. I did think 387 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: the same thing, and I do think it might lead 388 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: to a bit of controversy for them. So the podcast 389 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: soft launch came about after Mitch shared some words of 390 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: wisdom about parenting. He was talking about how you have 391 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: to be very selfless, and a follower sent Mitch a 392 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 1: message saying he should start a podcast on his knowledge 393 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 1: and experience on parenting, to which he replied, we are. 394 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: We begin filming next week, and he captured the post 395 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: incoming twenty twenty three and tagged Chloe's ep in it. 396 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: I wonder if they're talking about other things, so maybe 397 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: they're just having one episode about parenting. Less think this 398 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: is their new brand of content. At least it's not health. 399 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 3: Well. 400 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: I think that health and parenting kind of go together 401 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: because Chloe has spoken a lot about her postpartum journey 402 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff, So I do wonder 403 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 1: how it's going to go. I think those two will 404 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: work really well on a podcast together. I mean, Mitch 405 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: has had that very successful podcast with Rhys Hawkins. I 406 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: love that podcast. I was so sad when it ended. 407 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: I think this podcast is going to be incredibly popular 408 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: when it comes out. Yeah, so it will hit number one. 409 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. I don't know if it will have 410 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: longevity because, as you say, I feel like some controversial 411 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: comments might be thrown out there. Well, maybe it's more 412 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: whether they keep going with it or. 413 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 4: How many payers are shoes? 414 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 2: Is one person need? 415 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: That is not the way to get out of this 416 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 1: Alive Sex and the City fans, Brace yourself. It's the 417 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: news many of us have been wishing for. And it 418 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: took one Instagram post and just like that, Aiden is 419 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: back in Carrie Bradshaw's life. Kate, what is going on? 420 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 4: I was so. 421 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: Excited when I saw these photos because ever since mister 422 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 1: Big died on the Sex and the City's spin off, 423 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: and just like that. I have been waiting for Carrie 424 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: to rekindle things with Aiden, and back in the nineties, 425 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: many of us felt the same way. I felt like 426 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: they should have ended up together. So the show's official 427 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: Instagram account has caused chaos by sharing a photo of 428 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: Carrie and Aiden walking hand in hand on the streets 429 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: of Manhattan with the caption sh don't tell anyone. In 430 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: the photo, people have spotted that Aiden is not wearing 431 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: a wedding ring, which indicates he is no longer with 432 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: his on screen wife Kathy. I vividly remember that my hairdresser, 433 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: who is a big fan of Sex and the City saying, 434 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: it was until that season that I just thought, you 435 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: don't know what you want, Carrie, because Aiden was the 436 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: biggest sweetheart. I remember he proposed very early to her. 437 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: He ticked all the right boxes, but it was quite 438 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: evident that she just wasn't as into him. Yeah, he 439 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: was trying to change her a little bit, but I 440 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: think for the good in terms of stopping her from smoking. 441 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: The thing is a lot of people are saying that 442 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: Carrie doesn't deserve Aiden, and they don't agree with it, 443 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: but the majority of people are very excited by this. 444 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: There was one point three million likes on the photo. Well, 445 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: I think people were pissed off that the first series 446 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: of the spinoff didn't include Aiden. I think a lot 447 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: of people are expecting him actually to return. He wasn't 448 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: one of the movies as well. Yeah he was, but 449 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: he wasn't in the spinoff. And I also think they 450 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 1: need somebody like him in the show. Now BIG's being 451 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: killed off. Yeah, well to refresh everyone's memories. This first 452 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: season ended with Carrie kissing her podcast producer Franklin oh 453 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: Now back. In February twenty twenty two, the actor who 454 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: plays Franklin was questioned whether his role would be continuing, 455 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: and he said, I know nothing about next season. I 456 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 1: think those things are being worked out. I had a 457 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: wonderful time playing the character, so I wouldn't mind coming 458 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 1: back and exploring it if that's what they decide to 459 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: do now. Production for season two is currently underway, with 460 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: the hope the new series will begin airing in the 461 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: middle of the year. Surely, if Aiden's back, there'll be 462 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: some sort of love triangle that may involve this producer. 463 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,479 Speaker 1: How's this though? You know the actor that plays Aiden. 464 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: He's actually yeah, he's Hillary Duff's love interest in How 465 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: I Met Your Mother. But but he was in a movie. 466 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: He was in Raised Your Voice with Hillary and he 467 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: was her teacher. Yeah, well he's the older guy that 468 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: she's dating usaw in the shorts. Well, Chris Noth, who 469 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: plays mister Big. He was also in a movie with 470 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 1: Hillary Duff back in the Day, The Perfect Man. Yeah, 471 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: she should be appearing in Sex in the City's reboot. 472 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: Then I I want to watch some of these Hillary 473 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 1: Duff movies before the wedding. 474 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 2: I have had enough with people trying to hold me 475 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 2: accountable and people online accountable for the mistakes that we make. 476 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: Sophie Kasha has sparked romance rumors after she was spotted 477 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: with her arms around a blonde woman at the Sam 478 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: Smith Influencer event in Adelaide. The sighting comes just months 479 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 1: after her shock split from fiance Maddie Garrett Kate. Can 480 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: you tell us more well? The pair looked very smitten. 481 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: In the vision. You can see Sophie and the woman 482 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: chatting at the front of the stage before Sophie began 483 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: high ugging her intimately from behind. Now, some super sluse 484 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: on Tatle Life believe they know the identity of the 485 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: mystery woman. So the woman is believed to be Essendon 486 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: WAFL player Sophie van Dehoovel. Now, Sophie has just turned 487 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: twenty two and was signed to Essendon last year in May, 488 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: after starting her playing career in twenty eighteen with July. 489 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: How did she get an invite to the event? Well, 490 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: Sophie brought her. I mean, it's so funny Sophie times too. 491 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: How difficult would that be if your partner or potential 492 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: love interests had the same name as you. There's definitely 493 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: a large age gap in this relationship as well, because 494 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: Sophie Kaisha is thirty two thirty three. Yeah, so there's 495 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 1: about ten years between them. That's all right though, Sofi 496 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: a bit of a cougar too. I'm a bit of 497 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: a cougary. I think five years is my cutoff though. Well, 498 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: each to their own as long as it's legal. Now, 499 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: there is a striking resemblance between Sophie and Maddie Garrett. 500 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: So there's this photo of the two women floating around 501 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: with both wearing red ball gowns. So it's quite clear 502 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: that Sophie definitely has a type. I mean, this is 503 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: the fourth athlete she's been romantically linked to. I'm sure 504 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: Sophie will come out and say that we've all been 505 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: played and we're all stupid for they're just friends. I 506 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: definitely think this was a deliberate soft launch though, because 507 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: they're at this influencer event, there was obviously going to 508 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 1: be plenty of people filming, and she's also standing in 509 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: the front row. She wasn't trying to hide anything. Oh, definitely. 510 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: You don't just take anyone over interstate to an influencer 511 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: event with you. Well, god on, Sofi, we're trying to 512 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: give a bit more buzz around this Adelaide SATC event. 513 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 3: That's all. 514 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: That's how I heard about the event initially. So maybe 515 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: she wasn't that bad of it though, I mean, she 516 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: just hates Adelaide Now. I think that is all we 517 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: have time for today. Thank you very much for listening 518 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: to another episode.
