Chloe Fisher Scraps Sunglass Collab · Outspoken the Podcast

0:02
Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the
0:05
Speaker 1: hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm
0:09
Speaker 1: Amy Torber and coming up on today's show, Chloe Fisher
0:12
Speaker 1: pulls the pin on her soon-to-be-released Sunglass collaboration, Olivia Rogers'
0:17
Speaker 1: tell-all interview with her new boyfriend, Hugo Brecky, Kate Forster
0:21
Speaker 1: slams embarrassing grabby influencers, and Sophie Jane Miller's new cookbook
0:26
Speaker 1: tops the charts. But first, Lauren Bullen's business class woes
0:29
Speaker 1: have continued, Kate.
0:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, last week we were talking about how the OG
0:33
Speaker 2: travel blogger was abused by a fellow business class passenger
0:37
Speaker 2: after her baby daughter cried on her flight to Ibiza.
0:40
Speaker 2: This week, Lauren has opened up about her experience flying
0:44
Speaker 2: back to Bali on Qatar Airways. So she was flying
0:47
Speaker 2: business class again. This time she was in the airline's
0:49
Speaker 2: queue suite and she said it was really fucking good.
0:53
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you've heard much about Q Suite, Kate,
0:55
Speaker 1: but it's basically like a little room for each traveler.
0:58
Speaker 1: So Lauren said there was even a door in her suite.
1:01
Speaker 1: So it was much better for her and I suppose
1:03
Speaker 1: the other passengers who didn't have to listen to her
1:05
Speaker 1: daughter crying. Originally, when I saw the post, I was like, oh,
1:08
Speaker 1: maybe the airline has reached out after her bad experience
1:11
Speaker 1: last time, given her some free tickets, really tried to
1:14
Speaker 1: turn it on for her. But her praise for Qatar
1:17
Speaker 1: Airlines was pretty short-lived because when she got home to Bali...
1:21
Speaker 1: She found out that only.
1:22
Speaker 2: Two of her four bags had arrived at the airport
1:25
Speaker 2: with her and her daughter's stroller and car seat were
1:28
Speaker 2: both missing with no word on when they would arrive.
1:31
Speaker 2: And she said that with all the travel she's done
1:33
Speaker 2: over the years, this has never, ever happened to her.
1:35
Speaker 1: What would you rather, Kate? Someone abusing you in business
1:38
Speaker 1: class and having your bags arrive or a really pleasant
1:41
Speaker 1: in-flight experience, but no bags?
1:43
Speaker 2: That's a tough one. I'd probably go with being abused
1:46
Speaker 2: in business class because Can you imagine? You'd be absolutely
1:49
Speaker 2: exhausted with a baby and there's no way you can
1:52
Speaker 2: get that baby home. You can't put her in a stroller,
1:54
Speaker 2: so you're probably having to carry her along with two bags.
1:57
Speaker 2: I know there's two others that are missing, no doubt
1:59
Speaker 2: probably with all the essentials for the baby in them.
2:02
Speaker 1: Three things you enjoy doing daily. Drinking tea, putting on
2:07
Speaker 1: my incense, slowing down.
2:12
Speaker 2: Are you serious?
2:15
Speaker 3: Are you high?
2:16
Speaker 1: There's simple things in life that make me happy. Chloe
2:20
Speaker 1: Fisher has announced she has walked away from her collaboration
2:23
Speaker 1: with Paired Eyewear. The popular podcaster was set to release
2:26
Speaker 1: a sunglass collection with the Australian brand, but announced on
2:30
Speaker 1: Monday that she was pulling the pin on the collaboration. Now, Kate,
2:33
Speaker 1: before we get into it, can you bring listeners up
2:35
Speaker 1: to speed on who Chloe Fisher is?
2:37
Speaker 2: Chloe is probably best known as the co-host of popular
2:40
Speaker 2: Australian podcast Darling Shine. But she had her first taste
2:44
Speaker 2: of the spotlight, though, when she married international DJ Paul Fisher,
2:47
Speaker 2: best known as Fisher. He is a massive Australian DJ.
2:52
Speaker 2: I can't quite get my head around everything Chloe does
2:55
Speaker 2: because it is a lot. So not only does she
2:57
Speaker 2: have a very successful podcast, but she is the founder
3:01
Speaker 2: of a swimwear label, owns a seltzer brand and also
3:04
Speaker 2: a property development company. And to top it all off,
3:07
Speaker 2: she welcomed her first child, Bobby, in June 2024. and
3:11
Speaker 2: recently announced she's pregnant with her second child. And in
3:14
Speaker 2: her spare time, she's also written a memoir where she
3:16
Speaker 2: discusses fertility, family, grief, and love. And it's set to
3:20
Speaker 2: be released in October, and it's very highly anticipated because
3:23
Speaker 2: over the last couple of years, she's led a lot
3:25
Speaker 2: of important discussions around fertility on her podcast. She bravely
3:29
Speaker 2: shared that she'd had four miscarriages and eight rounds of
3:31
Speaker 2: IVF before falling pregnant with her daughter, Bobbi.
3:34
Speaker 1: Now, alongside all of these various business endeavors, Chloe also
3:37
Speaker 1: works as an influencer. So she's got over half a
3:40
Speaker 1: million followers on Instagram and she is a hot commodity.
3:43
Speaker 1: So she's worked on major campaigns for The Iconic. She's
3:47
Speaker 1: also partnered with Mejuri and she even released a limited
3:50
Speaker 1: edition handbag collection with Preen. And this reportedly sold out
3:54
Speaker 1: within seven minutes.
3:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you can see why Paired Eyewear were very
3:58
Speaker 2: keen to work with her. So before announcing her collection
4:01
Speaker 2: with the brand, She had a prior relationship with them
4:04
Speaker 2: as an ambassador. In fact, paired eyewear still have a
4:07
Speaker 2: dedicated page that allows people to shop her favorite styles
4:11
Speaker 2: from the brand. So when Khloe teased that she was
4:13
Speaker 2: releasing her own collection, fans were really excited. So excited,
4:17
Speaker 2: in fact, it appears some of them actually purchased from
4:19
Speaker 2: the brand before her collection dropped.
4:22
Speaker 1: That's dedication.
4:23
Speaker 2: Well, the excitement quickly turned to disappointment, though, with several
4:26
Speaker 2: followers complaining they still hadn't received orders from the company.
4:30
Speaker 2: One follower left a message on Chloe's post claiming she
4:32
Speaker 2: was still waiting for the brand to dispatch an order
4:34
Speaker 2: she made four weeks ago. This follower alleged that she'd
4:38
Speaker 2: emailed the company twice, but they hadn't replied and wrote,
4:41
Speaker 2: can you please help your sisters out? It's not like
4:44
Speaker 2: they are $ 10 glasses and we have no control over
4:47
Speaker 2: our order or money. Thank you so much. I'm sure
4:49
Speaker 2: you will do the right thing. Now, another person replied
4:52
Speaker 2: to the comment writing, second this, this is so frustrating.
4:55
Speaker 2: They have taken our money and now disappeared. Now these
4:58
Speaker 2: comments are still on Chloe's post, but neither Chloe or
5:01
Speaker 2: the brand replied to them. Then there was another post
5:04
Speaker 2: that Chloe made and she was wearing sunglasses in it
5:07
Speaker 2: and a follower asked her where she got them from.
5:09
Speaker 2: Now Chloe didn't respond, but another disgruntled paired eyewear customer wrote,
5:13
Speaker 2: don't purchase anything from paired. Me along with countless other
5:16
Speaker 2: customers have been waiting on our orders or refunds since
5:19
Speaker 2: at least February this year and they will not respond
5:22
Speaker 2: to any of our contact. Don't get scammed as well. Now,
5:25
Speaker 2: this comment, again, remained on the post, but was still
5:28
Speaker 2: unanswered by Chloe or the brand. And it appears that
5:30
Speaker 2: these complaints could have been the tip of the iceberg.
5:33
Speaker 2: As on Monday, Chloe released a statement on her Instagram
5:36
Speaker 2: story that said, Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside of my
5:40
Speaker 2: control and several creative and operational differences, I will no
5:44
Speaker 2: longer be pursuing this collaboration or having any association with
5:47
Speaker 2: paired eyewear. She also went on to address complaints that
5:51
Speaker 2: she'd received from her followers, writing, I'm aware that some
5:53
Speaker 2: of you purchased from paired eyewear and never received them.
5:57
Speaker 2: While I know how disappointing and frustrating this may be,
6:00
Speaker 2: please know that all sales and fulfillment of these products
6:03
Speaker 2: were handled directly by paired eyewear.
6:05
Speaker 1: My team and I were not involved in this side
6:08
Speaker 1: of their business. Chloe then said she was saddened by
6:10
Speaker 1: how it all unfolded and transparency was important to her.
6:14
Speaker 1: And she wanted to keep her followers updated.
6:16
Speaker 2: Now, Paired Eyewear are yet to publicly respond to Chloe's update.
6:21
Speaker 2: And the Instagram comments have been turned off since May.
6:24
Speaker 2: And it's interesting timing as it seems like the collection
6:26
Speaker 2: was ready to go and set to launch very soon.
6:29
Speaker 2: Because in early May, Paired Eyewear held an event where
6:32
Speaker 2: they previewed Chloe's collection. So the event had a DJ.
6:36
Speaker 2: It wasn't actually Fisher. It was a different one. But
6:38
Speaker 2: there were drinks from Chloe's seltzer brand, as well as,
6:40
Speaker 2: of course, a sneak peek of the collection itself. And
6:44
Speaker 2: after the event, they provided transport to Chloe's husband's beachside
6:47
Speaker 2: music festival called Out to Lunch Festival. So it seems
6:51
Speaker 2: like it was only recently that this was all steam ahead.
6:54
Speaker 1: This is really awkward for Chloe because she's almost guilty
6:56
Speaker 1: by association. She's saying, oh, I didn't have anything to
6:59
Speaker 1: do with the fulfillment issues. But clearly the reason her
7:02
Speaker 1: followers purchased from the brand is because they trust Chloe.
7:05
Speaker 1: So in turn, they trusted this brand.
7:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was a little bit of a
7:08
Speaker 2: cop out to say, oh, well, you know, I didn't
7:11
Speaker 2: have anything to do with that. So I'm kind of
7:12
Speaker 2: cleaning my hands of it, particularly because she made the
7:16
Speaker 2: post on her Instagram story, which disappears after 24 hours.
7:19
Speaker 2: So for a lot of these fans that are still
7:21
Speaker 2: trying to chase up what is going on with their
7:24
Speaker 2: sunglasses order, they might not have seen it. There's no
7:27
Speaker 2: permanent spot on her social media for it. I also
7:30
Speaker 2: struggled to find photos of her promoting the brand on
7:33
Speaker 2: both her and paired eyewear's Instagram accounts. I mean, as
7:37
Speaker 2: I said, the website still had the sunglasses that she
7:40
Speaker 2: recommended on there. Look, clearly something major has gone on
7:43
Speaker 2: with this eyewear company and it just shows how careful
7:47
Speaker 2: influencers need to be when they are aligning their personal
7:50
Speaker 2: brand to a product because Chloe has done her due
7:54
Speaker 2: diligence in terms of creating excitement about this launch. She
7:58
Speaker 2: has worn glasses from this brand for quite some time
8:01
Speaker 2: and has influenced a lot of people to buy them.
8:03
Speaker 2: And We're in this space now where we're seeing influencers
8:08
Speaker 2: actually buying shares into the company. You know, Indy Clinton
8:12
Speaker 2: this week announced that she was a shareholder in Boof Hair.
8:16
Speaker 2: Influencers are going all in with these companies, but they
8:19
Speaker 2: really need to do their research because if the company
8:22
Speaker 2: has a history of not fulfilling orders, that's not a
8:25
Speaker 2: company that you want to work with and align your
8:27
Speaker 2: brand to.
8:29
Speaker 4: So, like all good love stories, it started on a box.
8:33
Speaker 5: Yeah.
8:35
Speaker 1: Olivia Rogers has given her followers what they've been patiently
8:38
Speaker 1: waiting for. 15 months after hard-launching her new boyfriend, Hugo Brakey,
8:43
Speaker 1: she has finally spoken in depth about their relationship. In fact,
8:47
Speaker 1: she invited him on as a guest on her podcast.
8:50
Speaker 2: I wasn't surprised when I heard Olivia say that Hugo
8:53
Speaker 2: was the most requested guest on her podcast. When I
8:56
Speaker 2: saw this interview pop up, I immediately clicked on it
8:59
Speaker 2: because Ever since she had launched him back in June 2024,
9:03
Speaker 2: they were actually on the red carpet at the Beauty
9:05
Speaker 2: and the Beast movie premiere. I was like, I want
9:09
Speaker 2: to know more about this guy. And to her credit,
9:11
Speaker 2: for around a year now, she stayed pretty quiet on him.
9:14
Speaker 2: It's only recently that she's been dropping a few more
9:17
Speaker 2: details about him. I'm wondering if it's that he's finally
9:20
Speaker 2: comfortable to be Mr. Rogers.
9:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it sounds like from what they said in
9:24
Speaker 1: this podcast that their relationship is very serious. I wouldn't
9:27
Speaker 1: be surprised if we heard news of an engagement soon.
9:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, like Olivia dropped that after their first date, she
9:32
Speaker 2: called her mum and said, I think he's the one.
9:35
Speaker 2: And apparently he told his roommate that he'd met his
9:37
Speaker 2: future wife. So it seems like they're the real deal.
9:41
Speaker 2: And when I was listening to them, I'm like, they
9:43
Speaker 2: seem perfect for each other.
9:45
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, because he had very– I want to say
9:48
Speaker 1: like rich vibes, sort of private school vibes, very well spoken.
9:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, he kind of seems like the male version of her.
9:56
Speaker 2: I was really excited that they opened up more about
9:58
Speaker 2: how they met because Olivia has previously spoken about how
10:01
Speaker 2: her former best friend and stylist, Paul Versace, introduced her
10:04
Speaker 2: to Hugo on a nightclub dance floor. And it was
10:07
Speaker 2: cool to hear it from Hugo's perspective because he revealed
10:10
Speaker 2: that he was actually on a Bucks night when he
10:12
Speaker 2: was approached by Paul and told that he was handsome.
10:16
Speaker 2: This is what Hugo said.
10:17
Speaker 4: I was on the dance floor having a bit of
10:19
Speaker 4: a boogie, which I enjoy doing. It's quite late in
10:23
Speaker 4: the night. I was probably looking to head home relatively soon.
10:27
Speaker 4: I like early nights and love my sleep. And while
10:32
Speaker 4: I was having a boogie, this other gentleman approached me.
10:39
Speaker 4: And he said, you're handsome, are you single? And my
10:42
Speaker 4: first reactions were, thank you, mate, but I'm not quite
10:46
Speaker 4: sure we're interested in the same thing.
10:49
Speaker 3: He thought he was hitting on you.
10:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. But he quickly made it apparent that, no, no, no,
10:57
Speaker 4: I've got the perfect girl for you. She's one in
11:00
Speaker 4: a million. And, I mean, I probably should have straightaway
11:05
Speaker 4: been like, yeah, that's great, I'll– Please come and introduce
11:09
Speaker 4: her to me. But I kind of tried to bat
11:12
Speaker 4: him away. I was like, mate, I'm about to go home.
11:14
Speaker 4: Don't worry about it.
11:16
Speaker 5: Thanks, though.
11:18
Speaker 4: But he was very persistent to, yeah, to great effect.
11:23
Speaker 4: And he said, wait here, went and grabbed a girl,
11:29
Speaker 4: which turned out to be you, from the bar and
11:33
Speaker 4: placed her in front of me.
11:35
Speaker 2: Can you imagine having some random guy come up to
11:37
Speaker 2: you on a box and he's trying to set you
11:39
Speaker 2: up with his friend and you're like, no, no, go away.
11:41
Speaker 2: And it ends up being former Miss Universe contestant Olivia Rogers.
11:44
Speaker 1: Well, it sounded like he had no idea who she
11:46
Speaker 1: actually was.
11:47
Speaker 2: See, I have my thoughts on that because Olivia said
11:49
Speaker 2: that she told him she was a speech pathologist and
11:51
Speaker 2: didn't open up about her job as an influencer because
11:54
Speaker 2: she thought it might put him off. And he said,
11:57
Speaker 2: you know, he got home from meeting her and in
12:00
Speaker 2: the morning he was debriefing with his housemate. And he said, oh, yeah,
12:04
Speaker 2: she put her name into my phone, you know, as Liv.
12:07
Speaker 2: He then claimed that Apple somehow has this system where
12:13
Speaker 2: it populates all their details and it put her full
12:16
Speaker 2: name in even though she hadn't typed it in. Now,
12:19
Speaker 2: I have referred to chat GPT. That is not a
12:21
Speaker 2: function that Apple offers. So I'm calling a bit of
12:23
Speaker 2: bullshit there. I think he knew who she was. Anyway,
12:26
Speaker 2: it turns out that the housemate, you know, did some stalking,
12:29
Speaker 2: found her profile and was like, mate, this is not her.
12:32
Speaker 2: Surely this is not her.
12:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's because Hugo said he deactivated his Instagram, which
12:36
Speaker 1: I think is a big tick for him. That is
12:38
Speaker 1: a green flag. Someone who's not obsessed with their Instagram.
12:41
Speaker 2: So I originally also thought it was a green flag,
12:45
Speaker 2: but a friend of mine was telling me about this
12:48
Speaker 2: guy that they met who didn't have Instagram. And it
12:51
Speaker 2: turns out that he did have an Instagram account. It
12:54
Speaker 2: was just under a different name. And he actually was
12:57
Speaker 2: hiding from her this secret family that he had.
12:59
Speaker 1: Oh, I think that's very, I mean, I think in
13:02
Speaker 1: this instance, you can tell that Hugo is a really
13:06
Speaker 1: nice guy.
13:06
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm not saying that this is, I'm not saying
13:08
Speaker 2: at all that this is his circumstances. Don't get me wrong.
13:11
Speaker 1: I think if you're, I know the person you're talking
13:14
Speaker 1: about and this person was an athlete and I think
13:17
Speaker 1: there's a big difference there. I mean, for Olivia, I
13:19
Speaker 1: think it's good for having dated Morgan Waterhouse, who all
13:22
Speaker 1: he wanted to do was share Olivia on his TikTok
13:24
Speaker 1: and he was clearly looked like he was, a bit
13:26
Speaker 1: of a clout chaser. I'm sorry, Morgan, but that's how
13:28
Speaker 1: it came across. This is very refreshing for Olivia to
13:32
Speaker 1: be going out with a guy that doesn't seem focused
13:34
Speaker 1: on how many likes and followers he has. It's quite
13:37
Speaker 1: funny because it sounded like they were both extremely intoxicated
13:40
Speaker 1: when they met because Hugo said it was at the
13:42
Speaker 1: end of the night and he was about to leave
13:45
Speaker 1: when Paul came over and said, I'll come and meet
13:47
Speaker 1: my friend. And they ended up going and speaking in
13:50
Speaker 1: the smokers area because that was the only place they
13:52
Speaker 1: could hear each other despite neither of them smoking. And
13:55
Speaker 1: he said it got to a point where he knew
13:58
Speaker 1: he had to leave because he slid off the chair.
14:00
Speaker 1: And it was at that point that they got a
14:02
Speaker 1: cab home together. They actually shared a sneaky kiss in
14:05
Speaker 1: the cab and then went their separate ways. He said
14:09
Speaker 1: he passed out when he got home. I wonder if
14:12
Speaker 1: he was like, was.
14:12
Speaker 2: That all a dream?
14:13
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, it was a Bucks party.
14:16
Speaker 2: I loved when they spoke about the housemate's reaction because,
14:19
Speaker 2: as I said, he quickly conned on to who Olivia was.
14:22
Speaker 2: And Olivia went on to explain that they now have
14:24
Speaker 2: nicknamed the housemate Spike from Notting Hill. Let's take a
14:28
Speaker 2: listen to what she said.
14:31
Speaker 3: We ended up nicknaming him Spike because he would joke
14:35
Speaker 3: about the fact that our love story was like Notting
14:39
Speaker 3: Hill and– You were Hugh Grant and I was Julia
14:44
Speaker 3: Roberts and he was the weird housemate.
14:47
Speaker 2: Who comes out in his jocks to the paps. I
14:52
Speaker 2: love that movie and it made me laugh but I
14:54
Speaker 2: also was like, oh, it would have been funnier if
14:57
Speaker 2: the story came from Hugo because there was something about
15:00
Speaker 2: Olivia comparing herself to an A-list movie star that was like, oh,
15:03
Speaker 2: I don't know if you should, like don't you say
15:05
Speaker 2: that out loud.
15:06
Speaker 1: Look, I know it could have come across as being
15:08
Speaker 1: a bit like into herself. But let's be honest, we're
15:12
Speaker 1: literally talking about her on a podcast, you know.
15:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, and her breakup was covered in the Herald Sun. Exactly.
15:18
Speaker 1: She is big in Australia. And I love that it's Hugo.
15:22
Speaker 1: He's been compared to Hugh Grant. He did have Hugh
15:24
Speaker 1: Grant vibes. I get it.
15:25
Speaker 2: Well, the references to her celebrity status didn't end there
15:29
Speaker 2: because on their first date, for some reason, they decided
15:33
Speaker 2: to catch up at 7.30 on a Monday morning at
15:35
Speaker 2: a coffee shop. I said like, hell, that's my absolute nightmare.
15:39
Speaker 2: And Olivier said that she actually looks kind of puffy
15:42
Speaker 2: in the morning. So she kept her sunnies on. And
15:46
Speaker 2: Hugo said that he thought that she was doing it
15:49
Speaker 2: because she didn't want to get papped out.
15:52
Speaker 1: This is giving me more green flags for Hugo because
15:54
Speaker 1: he seems really cute and that he doesn't understand anything
15:57
Speaker 1: about how the paparazzi work. Like they're not just randomly
16:00
Speaker 1: papping Olivia Rogers out. She'd have to organize that with
16:03
Speaker 1: the paparazzi.
16:04
Speaker 2: Well, at least she didn't call the paps to her
16:06
Speaker 2: first date, like other influencers that have done that. Amy,
16:10
Speaker 2: you were talking about Hugo being confused, but was it
16:13
Speaker 2: only me that was confused when he was explaining what
16:16
Speaker 2: his job was? Because he said he is a management
16:20
Speaker 2: consultant and he has a background in chemical engineering, which
16:23
Speaker 2: sounds very impressive. And then he did this whole spiel
16:26
Speaker 2: about what he does. And I still didn't get it.
16:29
Speaker 2: And it turns out Olivia is the same. So she
16:31
Speaker 2: said that she had to get him to explain his
16:34
Speaker 2: job twice to her so she could actually relay that
16:36
Speaker 2: information to her mum later on.
16:38
Speaker 1: It gave massive Chandler Bing vibes. Like nobody obviously knew
16:42
Speaker 1: what Chandler's job was. I think it's one of those
16:44
Speaker 1: jobs that you kind of just nod and go, oh, okay, yep.
16:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounded really important because recently he's been flying
16:51
Speaker 2: back to Perth every week working on a special project.
16:53
Speaker 2: Olivia summarized it saying he's a professional problem solver. As
16:58
Speaker 2: we were saying before, it does seem like they're a
16:59
Speaker 2: perfect fit based on my parasocial relationship with Olivia.
17:03
Speaker 6: You approve.
17:03
Speaker 2: He came across, I do approve, he came across as
17:06
Speaker 2: really emotionally mature and I was taken aback when he
17:11
Speaker 2: bravely spoke about losing his dad to suicide when he
17:14
Speaker 2: was in year 12. So his dad was an anaesthetist
17:17
Speaker 2: and he said that they lived this picture perfect life
17:20
Speaker 2: in an affluent area near the beach. And it really
17:22
Speaker 2: went to show that you can seemingly have everything, but
17:25
Speaker 2: if your mental health isn't good, then it doesn't really
17:28
Speaker 2: make a difference.
17:29
Speaker 4: Yeah.
17:29
Speaker 1: Considering this is Hugo's first time really in the public eye,
17:33
Speaker 1: it was great that he shared that story. And I
17:34
Speaker 1: think it gave a lot more insight into who he
17:37
Speaker 1: is as a person.
17:38
Speaker 3: Yeah.
17:38
Speaker 2: It was a real turning point in the interview because
17:41
Speaker 2: they were speaking, you know, joking around about how they
17:43
Speaker 2: met and It gave a lot more depth into who
17:47
Speaker 2: he is and why they're so well suited because they're
17:50
Speaker 2: both so passionate about mental health. It surprised me to
17:54
Speaker 2: hear that Hugo actually used to play in the Waffle
17:57
Speaker 2: and that he'd wanted to become an AFL player because
17:59
Speaker 2: I didn't get that vibe at all when he spoke
18:01
Speaker 2: about his job. Now, the Waffle is the Western Australian
18:04
Speaker 2: Football League, Amy. It's not a dessert for anyone wondering,
18:07
Speaker 2: but look, I wasn't surprised because I remember when they
18:12
Speaker 2: first started dating, I did a bit of a stalk
18:15
Speaker 2: and I think I came across his LinkedIn and an
18:17
Speaker 2: article about him and it said something about him playing
18:20
Speaker 2: footy and he kind of gives me footy vibes. Like
18:22
Speaker 2: he's a good looking guy and, you know, he went
18:25
Speaker 2: to an affluent private school. They always seem to get
18:27
Speaker 2: them into footy. It did surprise me that he was
18:30
Speaker 2: trying to play AFL though and that he stopped his,
18:34
Speaker 2: you know, footy career when he was, you know, early
18:36
Speaker 2: twenties to go do this graduate job. It sounds like
18:39
Speaker 2: he got a lot of injuries and had to give
18:41
Speaker 2: footy up.
18:42
Speaker 1: Well, fun fact, he also plays the bagpipes and the trumpet.
18:46
Speaker 2: Which- Another surprising inclusion.
18:49
Speaker 1: Which I did say he was giving rich vibes. That
18:52
Speaker 1: really gives almost like royal family vibes, the fact that
18:55
Speaker 1: he can play the bagpipes.
18:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a little bit random. I mean, he
18:58
Speaker 2: did mention that his father was from the UK and
19:01
Speaker 2: his mum was from New Zealand, which again surprised me
19:03
Speaker 2: because his accent, like he had a private school twang.
19:07
Speaker 2: But then he'd say stuff that was very awkward as well.
19:11
Speaker 1: Well, as soon as he said his mum was from
19:12
Speaker 1: New Zealand, suddenly I could hear something. I was like, oh, okay.
19:16
Speaker 2: Did you think at one point they were trying to
19:18
Speaker 2: throw a bit of shade at Olivia's ex-husband, Justin McKeon?
19:20
Speaker 2: Because Olivia said she knew her listeners would be upset
19:23
Speaker 2: if she didn't ask Hugo about how he felt about
19:25
Speaker 2: her being divorced. And he went on to say that
19:28
Speaker 2: he had a lot of respect about how brave she
19:29
Speaker 2: was to make that decision and it really didn't impact
19:32
Speaker 2: their relationship at all. But then she goes, oh, well,
19:36
Speaker 2: I suppose it impacted our relationship for me because I'm
19:39
Speaker 2: trying to navigate this new relationship after being in this
19:43
Speaker 2: very toxic one. And she spoke about how her psychologist
19:46
Speaker 2: told her that perhaps Hugo and her could heal together.
19:50
Speaker 2: And then Hugo was like, I've learned things that help
19:53
Speaker 2: Olivia feel more comfortable. For example, I text her to
19:56
Speaker 2: make sure she knows if I'm going to be late
19:58
Speaker 2: home because I know it was really triggering for Olivia
20:01
Speaker 2: after an incident and I was.
20:03
Speaker 1: Like, oh, what was the incident? Well, I wondered if
20:05
Speaker 1: that was shade at Morgan Waterhouse.
20:07
Speaker 2: No, I think it was very much shade at Justin.
20:09
Speaker 2: She was talking about this very toxic relationship and that's
20:13
Speaker 2: very much how she's spoken about her marriage to Justin.
20:15
Speaker 1: Well, last week, Olivia shared this TikTok that went viral.
20:17
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw it, Kate, but it
20:19
Speaker 1: was one of those photo posts and she was explaining, well,
20:21
Speaker 1: she was opening up about their relationship and how they
20:24
Speaker 1: met and And how she never thought after leaving her
20:28
Speaker 1: marriage that she would end up in such a healthy relationship.
20:32
Speaker 2: I mean, you could tell how healthy it is. I
20:34
Speaker 2: was actually having a little bit of a look back
20:36
Speaker 2: at the timeline because it seems like it was just
20:38
Speaker 2: yesterday that she debuted him on her Instagram. But they've
20:42
Speaker 2: actually been living together for a year now. And as
20:45
Speaker 2: I mentioned in the intro, she hard launched him in
20:47
Speaker 2: June 2024. In the podcast, she said they met in
20:51
Speaker 2: December 2023.
20:51
Speaker 4: So....
20:53
Speaker 2: They're nearly celebrating their two-year anniversary.
20:56
Speaker 1: That seems crazy because it doesn't seem like that long
20:59
Speaker 1: ago that she was dating Morgan.
21:01
Speaker 2: Well, to give you an update on that timeline, it
21:03
Speaker 2: was only in December 2023 that she announced that she
21:06
Speaker 2: was single and had broken up with Morgan Waterhouse. So
21:09
Speaker 2: that was the same month that she met Hugo. It
21:12
Speaker 2: seems like they'd been broken up for a while though,
21:13
Speaker 2: ever since they got back from Bali in August 2023.
21:16
Speaker 1: Let's call that relationship what it was, a rebound.
21:20
Speaker 5: I feel sick, I'm so dead. I, wait, I don't
21:24
Speaker 5: know how to say it.
21:25
Speaker 2: Right here, I have my cookbook.
21:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to open it and see if otherwise I.
21:29
Speaker 2: Queensland influencer Sophie Jane Miller has revealed her soon-to-be-released cookbook
21:33
Speaker 2: has already topped the Booktopia charts. The book, entitled Simply Scrumptious,
21:38
Speaker 2: is currently on pre-sale for $ 54. 95, with it officially dropping
21:42
Speaker 2: on the 17th of November.
21:44
Speaker 1: I have been waiting for the release of this book
21:46
Speaker 1: since Sophie first vlogged about it back in May of 2024.
21:51
Speaker 1: I actually wondered if it was still going ahead because
21:54
Speaker 1: it has been such a long wait.
21:56
Speaker 2: Well, in terms of influencer cookbooks, I've only got Sarah's
21:58
Speaker 2: Days released to compare it to. And I think she
22:00
Speaker 2: was working on that for around three years. So maybe
22:03
Speaker 2: it's not that long.
22:04
Speaker 1: What's interesting, you mentioned Sarah, because Sophie and Sarah share
22:07
Speaker 1: the same publisher. So Brio Books published both of their
22:10
Speaker 1: cookbooks and they were actually acquired by Booktopia in 2021.
22:15
Speaker 1: And Booktopia went into voluntary administration in July 2024. It
22:20
Speaker 1: was right after Sarah's Day's book got published. And last year,
22:25
Speaker 1: it was bought by Shaden Kajan, who owns DigiDirect. So
22:29
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that maybe this new management and restructuring is
22:32
Speaker 1: what has affected the release of Sophie's book.
22:34
Speaker 2: Well, that all makes sense. I mean, it doesn't seem
22:36
Speaker 2: to have had much of an impact on the success
22:38
Speaker 2: of this book so far. As you said, it's hit
22:40
Speaker 2: number one on the Booktopia charts. It's always interesting to
22:43
Speaker 2: me when an influencer like Sophie Jane Miller releases something
22:46
Speaker 2: because she's not like one of the biggest influencers in Australia.
22:50
Speaker 2: She's got 100K on Instagram. She's got 300K on YouTube.
22:55
Speaker 2: But clearly her followers are very loyal and committed because
22:58
Speaker 2: it's a pretty big feat to go number one.
23:01
Speaker 1: Well, I was a bit concerned for Sophie because she's
23:02
Speaker 1: one of my favourite influencers at the moment. And I
23:05
Speaker 1: was worried that because it had been such a long
23:08
Speaker 1: time between her making this book and it being sold
23:11
Speaker 1: that that it might not resonate as well with her
23:13
Speaker 1: audience because she's really moved somewhat away from sharing about
23:17
Speaker 1: health and fitness and cooking. She's now better known as
23:20
Speaker 1: being a book talker. She talks a lot about matcha.
23:23
Speaker 1: She's got her own matcha line, but it really goes
23:25
Speaker 1: to show, as you said, the power of having such
23:27
Speaker 1: an engaged audience.
23:29
Speaker 2: I wonder how established cookbook authors feel when something like
23:31
Speaker 2: this happens, because we've only just gone through the whole
23:35
Speaker 2: shit storm with Brookie Bakes and Nagi. Not saying anything
23:39
Speaker 2: like that is going to happen off the back of
23:40
Speaker 2: Sophie's book, but it does seem like influencers are really
23:43
Speaker 2: dominating the book charts. I mean, Sarah's Day's cookbook was
23:46
Speaker 2: also number one on Booktopia. Just recently, Steph Pace released
23:51
Speaker 2: her book. That was number one on a different book chart.
23:54
Speaker 2: So obviously this ability to pre-release a book and have
23:58
Speaker 2: orders come in from a dedicated audience off the back
24:02
Speaker 2: really helps these books.
24:04
Speaker 1: Well, it's kind of the new version of all the
24:05
Speaker 1: celebrity biographies. There's this inbuilt audience to sell to, and
24:10
Speaker 1: it makes a lot of sense for these publishers to
24:12
Speaker 1: be working with influencers because of that inbuilt audience.
24:16
Speaker 3: First is this adorable green bear iced matcha latte.
24:19
Speaker 2: Sydney Cafe, The Orange Lantern, has been called out after
24:22
Speaker 2: allegedly enforcing an influencer-only glassware rule. The cafe had been
24:26
Speaker 2: promoting its Insta-worthy drinks across social media in the lead-up
24:30
Speaker 2: to its new store opening in Haymarket. A big part
24:33
Speaker 2: of the attraction was its matcha offering, which appeared in
24:36
Speaker 2: a stunning curved glass featuring a matcha teddy bear inside.
24:40
Speaker 1: These drinks were so aesthetically pleasing and They were a
24:43
Speaker 1: big part of why people wanted to go along to
24:46
Speaker 1: this cafe launch. Everyone wanted to snap a photo of
24:48
Speaker 1: this glass.
24:49
Speaker 2: It reminds me of that Cafe 56 one. I don't
24:51
Speaker 2: know if it's just an Adelaide thing.
24:53
Speaker 1: We had a couple of them here and you'd have
24:55
Speaker 1: lineups out the door because people all wanted to take
24:58
Speaker 1: a photo of them with this like, it was a
25:00
Speaker 1: milkshake and it just had stuff hanging off. It had
25:02
Speaker 1: like a donut and whipped cream.
25:04
Speaker 2: It was just ridiculous. Like you couldn't even get through
25:06
Speaker 2: it all.
25:07
Speaker 1: Well, this is the opposite of that because everyone wants
25:09
Speaker 1: a matcha now to see if they're being really healthy.
25:11
Speaker 1: And to celebrate the launch, this cafe came up with
25:14
Speaker 1: this promotion where you could get 50% off your drink
25:18
Speaker 1: if you're one of the first 100 customers. And just
25:21
Speaker 1: to give you an idea, a coconut ice matcha from
25:23
Speaker 1: here will cost you $ 16. For one drink? Yeah, for
25:28
Speaker 1: one drink. So these girls went along to the launch
25:32
Speaker 1: and they were really disappointed because they were expecting these
25:35
Speaker 1: beautiful glasses to come out and they were served their
25:38
Speaker 1: matcha in plastic cups. To make matters worse, they looked
25:42
Speaker 1: behind them and there was a group of influencers there
25:45
Speaker 1: and they received theirs in the fancy cups. And to
25:49
Speaker 1: make matters even worse, the influencers didn't even drink their matches.
25:53
Speaker 1: So they just left them on the table.
25:55
Speaker 2: And these girls- Did they take a photo of them?
25:57
Speaker 1: Well, you must have. So these girls complained to the
25:59
Speaker 1: staff and said, well, why did we get plastic cups
26:01
Speaker 1: and they get the fancy ones? And they said, well,
26:04
Speaker 1: they're only for influencers. If you wanted a glass cup,
26:07
Speaker 1: You should have rung up in advance to say that
26:09
Speaker 1: you'd be reviewing the matcha.
26:11
Speaker 2: That is false advertising. And I actually think that the
26:15
Speaker 2: glass a drink is served in has the ability to
26:18
Speaker 2: enhance the taste. So I am a Coke Zero connoisseur.
26:22
Speaker 2: And firstly, I hate post-mix. It has to be a
26:25
Speaker 2: Coke from either a can or a glass bottle. And
26:28
Speaker 2: I like to have it in a very cold glass.
26:31
Speaker 2: Pellet ice, Amy, we've spoken about that, is the preferable
26:34
Speaker 2: option to make it extra crispy.
26:36
Speaker 4: But.
26:37
Speaker 2: I feel like the matcha wouldn't have tasted as good
26:39
Speaker 2: in the plastic glass.
26:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the whole point is you're going to this
26:42
Speaker 1: Instagram-worthy cafe to take a picture of your Instagram-worthy drink.
26:48
Speaker 1: You don't want it in a fucking plastic cup.
26:51
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, here you go, plebs.
26:52
Speaker 1: Here's your plastic cup.
26:53
Speaker 2: Get out.
26:54
Speaker 1: And it's really stupid because we now know with the
26:57
Speaker 1: nature of TikTok, videos will go viral. You can be
27:00
Speaker 1: anybody and have a video go viral. So it was
27:04
Speaker 1: a really silly move.
27:05
Speaker 2: Well, it's backfired on them because the complaints gone viral.
27:07
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the cafe received so much backlash that they
27:10
Speaker 1: were forced to put out a statement and it was
27:12
Speaker 1: a pretty good statement. They apologized for the move and
27:15
Speaker 1: they basically said the reason that they did it was
27:17
Speaker 1: because they wanted to serve the customers faster due to
27:20
Speaker 1: their 50% of promotion. And they said, we didn't just
27:23
Speaker 1: give away 100 drinks. We actually ended up serving drinks
27:27
Speaker 1: that were 50% off up until 3pm. And they said
27:30
Speaker 1: they've now gone back to serving the drinks in their
27:32
Speaker 1: cute cups.
27:33
Speaker 2: Okay. Well, it seems to have been a bit of
27:35
Speaker 2: a supply and demand thing and they were trying to
27:37
Speaker 2: keep everyone happy, but I think they should have briefed
27:38
Speaker 2: their staff to actually communicate with people better than saying, oh,
27:41
Speaker 2: we didn't get the glass because you're not in the floor.
27:43
Speaker 1: But the issue is if it was a supply and
27:45
Speaker 1: demand issue, then everybody should have been given the plastic cups.
27:49
Speaker 5: There was one who behaved so badly that I really
27:52
Speaker 5: want to message them and say, Fucking you are about
27:56
Speaker 5: to have your pedestal tipped, my friend.
27:59
Speaker 1: Author and social commentator Kate Forster has dropped some juicy
28:03
Speaker 1: details about the recent influencer event held by Chemist Warehouse,
28:07
Speaker 1: declaring she was embarrassed for some of the influencers in
28:10
Speaker 1: attendance due to their antics.
28:13
Speaker 2: So the way Chemist Warehouse did it was they opened
28:15
Speaker 2: up the event to influencers on the Friday and then
28:17
Speaker 2: to the general public on the Saturday. Kate was at
28:20
Speaker 2: both of the days and she actually recorded two live
28:23
Speaker 2: podcasts on the Saturday. And it turns out someone spilt
28:26
Speaker 2: some serious tea to her about the influences in attendance.
28:29
Speaker 2: So she didn't disclose who it was. But reading between
28:33
Speaker 2: the lines, it seems like it was some of the
28:34
Speaker 2: staff in attendance. This is what she said.
28:37
Speaker 5: Fucking loose lips sink ships, man. People will tell you stuff.
28:42
Speaker 5: And if you have behaved badly, I know about it.
28:45
Speaker 5: I know why people want to tell me shit.
28:48
Speaker 4: I love it.
28:49
Speaker 5: Tell me everything. I want to know. I want to know. Anyway,
28:53
Speaker 5: who was great? Who was shit? Who was a brat?
28:57
Speaker 5: Who fucking wanted to leave after 40 minutes because it
28:59
Speaker 5: was a little bit boring? Who walked in, ignored everyone,
29:04
Speaker 5: did a photo shoot and walked out again? Like, who
29:07
Speaker 5: fucking gave extra? Who fucking showed up and would talk
29:11
Speaker 5: to anyone like a normal person? I've got all the
29:13
Speaker 5: fucking names. But Jesus Christ, who were the fucking influencers
29:19
Speaker 5: who stayed after they'd closed and was running around the
29:21
Speaker 5: shelves grabbing shit off? and putting it in their bags
29:24
Speaker 5: and having to be told off who were the people
29:27
Speaker 5: who were trying to get their fucking three and five
29:29
Speaker 5: year old who they'd taken as plus ones extra bags
29:34
Speaker 5: extra fucking goodie bags like the fucking grabbiness of it
29:38
Speaker 5: man I'm embarrassed for you. I'm so embarrassed.
29:45
Speaker 1: Fuck, she is funny. I would be absolutely quaking in
29:47
Speaker 1: my boots if I was one of these badly behaved influencers.
29:50
Speaker 2: Oh, I just want to know who it is. We
29:54
Speaker 2: do know who it wasn't because Poor Olivia White. She
29:57
Speaker 2: got caught up in all of this drama. People were like,
29:59
Speaker 2: hang on, she was at the event and she had
30:01
Speaker 2: kids there. It must have been her.
30:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's because she shared a haul on TikTok of
30:05
Speaker 1: what she got in the goodie bag and her two
30:07
Speaker 1: kids were watching on like absolutely loving every minute of it.
30:10
Speaker 1: It was like it was Christmas time. I couldn't believe
30:13
Speaker 1: how many products they got given. It was crazy.
30:16
Speaker 2: Well, spoiler alert, it wasn't Olivia White. Let's take a
30:19
Speaker 2: listen to what she said.
30:21
Speaker 6: Overnight, my video... just like sharing the chemist warehouse event
30:26
Speaker 6: and like what was in our goodie bag, um, has
30:30
Speaker 6: like blown up. And now I have a whole bunch
30:31
Speaker 6: of people asking me, um, if I was like the
30:35
Speaker 6: influencer that Kate was talking about or like, did.
30:38
Speaker 4: My daughter get a goodie bag?
30:40
Speaker 6: Um, No, I don't think so. My daughter did not
30:46
Speaker 6: take a goodie bag. She was offered one very nicely
30:50
Speaker 6: by the lovely gentleman at the door as we left,
30:52
Speaker 6: but I said no. She doesn't need one and that
30:55
Speaker 6: was not my intention of taking her. We were just
30:58
Speaker 6: having a girls day out because she's 12 and that
31:00
Speaker 6: was really cool for her. I also did not run
31:03
Speaker 6: around and just grab a whole bunch of stuff as
31:07
Speaker 6: some people are accusing me of. In fact, I actually
31:11
Speaker 6: get my goodie bag away. I get my goodie bag
31:13
Speaker 6: away every year. I've been for the last five years.
31:14
Speaker 6: I did a little giveaway on my page. It's already
31:17
Speaker 6: been sent to the person and donated some of the
31:20
Speaker 6: sort of like, yeah, core products. Not that I make
31:22
Speaker 6: a big deal about it, but I don't think Kate
31:24
Speaker 6: was talking about me.
31:26
Speaker 2: Now, Kate ended up backing up Olivia's claims in the
31:28
Speaker 2: comment section of her post, and she's also released a
31:31
Speaker 2: new TikTok where she's given further details about the influences
31:35
Speaker 2: she had positive interactions with.
31:37
Speaker 1: Let's take a listen.
31:40
Speaker 5: Laura DeSantis, I think her name was. Fucking cracker. What
31:44
Speaker 5: a great chick.
31:45
Speaker 6: She's on Instagram. Tops.
31:47
Speaker 5: Nikia Joy. I had no idea who she was.
31:50
Speaker 4: I had no idea.
31:51
Speaker 5: I had a lovely chat to her. I thought, well,
31:53
Speaker 5: Nikia's a lovely name. Really nice person. Moana Hope.
31:56
Speaker 4: Hilarious.
31:58
Speaker 5: Really good, Val. Influencer Updates girl, Amber. She was really lovely.
32:04
Speaker 5: We talked about the burger that she was about to eat.
32:08
Speaker 5: Tammy Hembrough. She was there with her sister, Amy. Very nice.
32:12
Speaker 5: Had a photo. Don't know why.
32:14
Speaker 6: I'm a nobody.
32:16
Speaker 2: I love that Amber from Influencer Updates has gotten a
32:18
Speaker 2: shout out there. We had Amber on our podcast and
32:20
Speaker 2: she is an absolute delight.
32:22
Speaker 1: Oh, Tammy Hembrough.
32:23
Speaker 2: I was glad about her too.
32:24
Speaker 1: My favourite part of Kate's story was the fact that
32:27
Speaker 1: she mistaken Emmy Lou for a member of staff at
32:30
Speaker 1: the event. So she walked up to her. She said
32:32
Speaker 1: she was wearing a tracksuit and she's like, oh, so
32:34
Speaker 1: where do I go to find the podcast stage? And
32:37
Speaker 1: Kate's daughter was there and she's like, mum, that was
32:40
Speaker 1: Emmy Lou.
32:40
Speaker 2: And she's like, Emmy who? It sounds like Emmy Lou
32:43
Speaker 2: took it quite well. Pretty awkward though for Kate because
32:46
Speaker 2: Emmy has her own perfume line with Chemist Warehouse. So
32:49
Speaker 2: I'm guessing that there might have been some promo with
32:51
Speaker 2: her photo on it there. Let's get into our Friday debrief.
32:55
Speaker 2: We've got some podcast news. Sophie is officially back on Tuesday.
32:59
Speaker 1: Yes, very exciting for Sophie. I think she's been climbing
33:01
Speaker 1: the walls, so she's very excited to come back on
33:04
Speaker 1: the podcast. It means Sophie and I will now be
33:06
Speaker 1: doing week on, week off. I mean, Kate, I think
33:09
Speaker 1: you're most happy for Sophie's return in a heated moment
33:11
Speaker 1: that didn't make it on the air. You said that
33:14
Speaker 1: you're kind of looking forward to me leaving.
33:16
Speaker 2: Look, I mean, we've been doing this together, what, now
33:18
Speaker 2: for nearly 12 weeks, just the two of us. I
33:21
Speaker 2: think this always happens. So it might be like a
33:23
Speaker 2: breath of fresh air going one week on, one week
33:25
Speaker 2: off with each of you.
33:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can hate on me one week and then
33:29
Speaker 1: hate on Soph.
33:30
Speaker 6: Yeah.
33:30
Speaker 2: Well, it's just we all have very different ways of working.
33:32
Speaker 2: And I suppose when you're working on a podcast together
33:36
Speaker 2: and it's an opinion-based podcast, you're going to clash. So
33:38
Speaker 2: it's just normal.
33:39
Speaker 1: Wasn't that our old promo for the podcast? Like, and
33:41
Speaker 1: sometimes things can get heated.
33:43
Speaker 6: Yeah.
33:43
Speaker 2: Well, I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow because it's the
33:46
Speaker 2: first day the three of us are going out together
33:49
Speaker 2: without our children and To do something for the podcast.
33:53
Speaker 6: Yes.
33:53
Speaker 2: I don't want to be that asshole that's teasing things,
33:56
Speaker 2: but I'm going to be because we've got an exciting
33:59
Speaker 2: shoot on tomorrow.
34:01
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert, it isn't a candle like Kick released.
34:04
Speaker 2: Wouldn't it be funny if we were releasing our own
34:06
Speaker 2: range of weird smelling candles?
34:07
Speaker 1: I've already got a perfect one. We could do one
34:10
Speaker 1: based on the smell of Lily Brown's pyjamas. That was
34:13
Speaker 1: a story a few years ago, the smelly PJs.
34:15
Speaker 2: It would be funny to come up with what we
34:16
Speaker 2: think influencers smell like because with Tammy Hembrough, I reckon
34:20
Speaker 2: she would have The smell of the ocean. She always
34:23
Speaker 2: seems to be down at the beach.
34:24
Speaker 3: It's terrible.
34:25
Speaker 1: It's terrible. I don't know if you've seen this TikTok
34:27
Speaker 1: or maybe this is just my very immature algorithm, but
34:30
Speaker 1: there are these videos where people post photos of their
34:32
Speaker 1: teachers from school and they play a farting noise in
34:36
Speaker 1: the background saying, I bet this is what their fart
34:38
Speaker 1: sounds like. And I said to you that would be
34:40
Speaker 1: hilarious to do for influencers, but I didn't know if
34:42
Speaker 1: it was offensive. I was like, is this too mean?
34:45
Speaker 2: I think that's pretty mean, but it was hilarious. And
34:48
Speaker 2: it's that weird thing where you're like, why does this
34:49
Speaker 2: make so much sense? It did. Look, I think we're
34:52
Speaker 2: going to wrap things up there now that we're talking
34:54
Speaker 2: about farts. Before we go, though, if you do want
34:57
Speaker 2: to hear more from us, not about farts, but just
34:59
Speaker 2: about influencers, we have our subs episode, which we release
35:03
Speaker 2: every Thursday, which is basically an extension of this show.
35:06
Speaker 1: And if you did enjoy the episode, we would really
35:08
Speaker 1: love if you could leave us a five-star review because
35:11
Speaker 1: it really helps out the show. This episode was recorded
35:14
Speaker 1: on the traditional land of the Kaurna people of the
35:16
Speaker 1: Adelaide Plains. We pay respect to elders past and present.
