  Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week. Coming
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: up on today's show, Sarah's day's backhanded thank you, Rachel
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Finch's bizarre behavior at her daughter's running race, and Abby
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Chatfield's semi-soft launch.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: But first, influencer.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Chelsea Ivey has negged our hometown of Adelaide. The 23-year-old
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: made the move to Adelaide late last year after her
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: AFL player boyfriend, Ivan Soldo, was traded from Richmond to
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Port Adelaide.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: So at the time, Chelsea ruffled local feathers when she
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: wrote on Instagram about the move.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: To be honest, can't say I ever thought I would
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: ever move to Adelaide. I've never been to Adelaide before,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: so I actually have no idea what to expect. And
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I hear so many mixed reviews. It's not forever, but
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: who knows? I could end up loving it. Excited for
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: a new chapter and to meet some new people. So
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: spoiler alert, she did not love it. Just seven months on,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Chelsea announced to her 66,000 followers that she's leaving Adelaide
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: to live in Dubai by herself. So she is set
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to follow in her dreams and be a flight attendant
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: for Emirates.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I want to know, is there more to this?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Is there a breakup brewing on the horizon or is
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: he fine with her just jetting off? Well, her followers
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: did say what is going on with Ivan and she
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: confirmed that apparently he has no issues with her move
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: and would do long distance. She wrote, he had to
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: move to Adelaide for his career. And to be honest,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: it's been a struggle for me. It's not just for
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: me permanently. Temporarily is fine, but long-term in Australia, I
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: think Melbourne or Gold Coast are for me, maybe even Sydney.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Now I found that interesting because initially back in November,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: she said that there was no way she would entertain
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: doing long distance. I also wonder, how does poor Adelaide
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Football Club feel about this?
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Because she's basically.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Earmarking it saying Adelaide is not a long-term thing for
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: me or Yvonne. Yeah, but they're very young. She's only 23.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Potentially this will cause a split. It's a bit of
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: a slap in the face to the wives and girlfriends
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: of the Port Adelaide Football Club because they would have
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: been her designated besties for the last couple of months.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: She's just basically gone. This is shit.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe they were rubbed up a little bit the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: wrong way because She is famous for declaring that she
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: is the hottest wag after she attended the Richmond Best
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and Fairest. I'm kind of excited for her, though, that
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: she is now focusing on her career and she's making
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a big move for her. Why should she stay in
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Adelaide if it's not the right decision.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: For her career path? Oh, definitely.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I do think it's very refreshing that she is focusing
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: on her own career. I'm just pissed off for Adelaide
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: because originally Chelsea's move to Adelaide triggered this war of
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: words between two high profile newspaper columnists. So there was
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: a Melbourne-based columnist called Jackie Epstein who questioned whether Chelsea
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: would be able to settle for the low-energy lifestyle of Adelaide,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: whereas Adelaide-based Cara Young hit back labelling Epstein's piece as
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: a petty little quip and said residents of Adelaide rolled
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: their eyes and smiled at the poor misconception. So it
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: is frustrating that I feel like a whole bunch of
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: journalists from the East Coast have jumped onto this narrative
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and saying, oh, yeah, we told you Adelaide is shit.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: And all the kids are treating me very nice.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: It's great.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Gee, I can't wait till I go to hikes.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Don't you say that.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Don't you ever say that.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Sarah's day divided opinions when she shared an unusual thank
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: you message to her 1.2 million Instagram followers. The controversial
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: fitness influencer took a break while cooking with her kids
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: to to share a written statement saying how grateful she
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: was for her current work-life balance. She wrote, since having
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: two kids, I've gotten so much better at balancing life
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and work, saying no to opportunities and allowing myself time
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to just enjoy being a mom. I truly am so
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: glad I worked harder than ever from 2013 to 2020,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: setting me and my family up with businesses, passive income streams,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and systems to be able to have a work-life balance.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I just want to thank you for supporting me, my channel,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and my projects. Without you, I would have probably been
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a primary school teacher and forced to put my kids
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: into daycare as soon as my maternity leave was up.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I am so, so aware of how lucky I am
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and just want to thank you for allowing me to
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: be what I've always wanted, a stay-at-home mum. I'd love
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: to unpack Sarah's message a bit more because it caused
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: such a stir in our Facebook community. So on one hand,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: people felt like her thank you was a slap in
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the face to primary school teachers as well as working
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: mums who had no other choice but to send their
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: children to daycare. while others believed she was simply trying
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to thank her followers for giving her the financial freedom
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to stay at home with her kids. I want to know,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: where do you guys sit on this? I think this
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: comes down to Sarah's inability to communicate properly with her followers.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Her execution was off.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: And because of that, her message opened itself up to interpretation.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: And I've always found Sarah's tone on social media to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: be quite condescending.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: And when you add to the mix, the statement being.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Written rather than voiced, it again added a level of interpretation.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure it wasn't her intention to upset
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: her followers, but I can see how it came across
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: as backhanded and tone deaf. It kind of seemed like
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: a bit of a humble brag and an insensitive one
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: at that, because I think it's quite clear that she
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: is quite removed and out of touch with her audience
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: who are working class. And as a country at the moment,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: we are in an economic climate where families can no
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: longer live on just one sole income. And the majority
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: of Sarah's audience would be working mums who have no
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: option but to send their kids to childcare.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: So it's sort of laying this level of guilt on them.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, you're not in this position where you can
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: be this hands-on stay-at-home mum like me because you didn't
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: set yourself up. But I don't think she necessarily meant that.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think she meant it how it came across. No,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think she did either.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I actually.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: genuinely want to thank my followers for being there for me.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: And I think there's also been kind of a bit
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: of demand from people for Sarah to be a bit
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: more grateful to her audience.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: So I felt like.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: She thought she was doing the right thing by putting
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: up this message and where she's got it wrong is
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the diss to school teachers, like acting as if school teachers,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: it's the low of the low to have that job.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: That's what I took from it.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: In terms of this thank you message, it is quite
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: rare that we hear Sarah thank her followers and And
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: it did come off the back of her lashing out
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: at some of her followers recently over fertility comments. So
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I think she thought, okay, I've got to put something
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: out that makes me look grateful.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: But again, she's just missed the mark. Back to the.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: School teacher comment. I don't think she was trying to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: be offensive to school teachers. I think what she does
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of the time is she centers only her
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: experience in it because for a bit of background, in
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: her early days of YouTube, she was starting to be
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a primary school teacher and she ended up dropping out
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: of uni to pursue her influencing career. So for her,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: being a teacher and not following her dream would have
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: been a step back for her. So she was trying
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: to center herself in it, but I think she was
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: unaware of how it came across to people who are
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: primary school teachers. If I was a primary school teacher
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and I read that, I'd be like, fuck off. You
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: don't even understand- the work that goes into it and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you didn't complete your degree.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: That's what I'd be thinking.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Well, coming from two parents who are teachers and I
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: have the utmost respect for them and their profession and
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: what they do.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: And it is one of the hardest jobs in the world.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: And I think if you didn't have this knowledge that
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: she was training to be a primary school teacher and
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: almost made it, you'd be like, why is she having.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: A crack at teachers?
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And that's the issue with influencers, because if you
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: haven't been following her for 10 years, you wouldn't actually
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: have that presumed knowledge. I do think it's also interesting
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: that in the space of a year, Sarah has gone
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: from referring to herself as a CEO of three different
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: businesses to a stay at home mom. And I do
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: wonder if this change is due to the trad wife
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: trend we're seeing currently on TikTok. The trend is linked
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: to Christianity and Sarah over the last couple of years
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: has been a lot more vocal about her faith. The
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: ironic thing is the reality is just like the trad
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: wife trend on TikTok, these aren't traditional stay-at-home mums because
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: traditionally mums that stay at home aren't paid and therefore
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: their role has always been significantly undervalued but Sarah like
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the trad wives you see on TikTok like Nara Smith
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: earn a lot of money from sharing content about their
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: lives and being mums online so it's ironic that she
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: thanked her audience for allowing her to be a stay-at-home
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: mum but then she also said later on oh and
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I spent three hours filming myself cooking a lasagna well,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: that's your job. I think there would be a lot
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: of envy from mums at home watching her because she
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: has the capacity to dip in and out of these projects. And,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: you know, if she gets bored of the mum life,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: she can jump in and, you know, have a shoot
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: day where she's filming her own active wear or she
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: can jump into the kitchen and film it.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: She lives this.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Very aspirational life in a beautiful mansion. So I think
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: that there is already a bit of envy there from
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: her audience. As you touched on before, Kate, I found
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: this move away from hustle culture so interesting because as
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: a society, we were told you've.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Got to work hard, you've got to have a side hustle.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: The whole girl boss thing. Yeah, and that was very
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: much pushed by Sarah and Kurt. And now that it's
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: become cool to have this slower lifestyle, to put yourself
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: and your mental health first and your family, now she's saying, oh,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I'm actually not.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: The CEO of all these companies. I'm a stay-at-home mom.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I think it's all about her trying to be relatable
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: to her audience. But what she's overlooked is She isn't
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: just your traditional stay-at-home mum. She is in a very
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: privileged position where she can pick and choose what she
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: does and look after her kids whenever she wants. I
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: think it comes down to virtue signalling, and unfortunately amongst
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: this she's also tried to throw in a humble brag,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: which hasn't gone down well.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Okay, here we go.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Second downhill. Look in the air, look in the air.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Rachel Finch's behaviour at her eight-year-old daughter's school cross-country running
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: race has sparked debate. Prior to the race starting, the
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: former Miss Universe contender was finding it difficult to keep
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: her emotions under wraps. Let's throw to what she said.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Cross-country time.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, I think I'm more nervous than violent.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I'm running to the first checkpoint. I'm about to throw up.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get all these feelings back up when
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I used to do it. Now, if that panting wasn't
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: bad enough, things got worse when Rachel started filming herself
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: screaming words of encouragement as she ran behind her daughter
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: during the race. She captioned the vision on her Instagram story,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Crazy Cam. Let's throw to the audio. Okay, here we go.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Second downhill.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Suck in the air.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Suck in the air.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Go, go, go.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Watch the rocks. That's it, Violet.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Well done.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I first saw people talking about this online before seeing
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the video. And at first I was like, oh, she's
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: probably just one of those supportive parents.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: But this was next level.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I don't understand how this school let her run behind
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: her child during the race. Surely it would have been
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: really off-putting for the other kids. Her daughter ended up
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: coming 12th out of 100, which is a pretty good achievement. But,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, there would have been a ton.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Of kids coming up from behind her.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine the other mums there seeing this video?
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: They're like, why the hell is she allowed at the
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: school on the course?
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: My favourite bit was that she was out of breath,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: but she's like, suck it in, come on. keep going.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, good on her for being interested in what
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: her child's doing, but I don't know.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: It just seemed a bit bizarre.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: You can imagine when you went to school, like if
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: you think back, those over the top mums, they'd be
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the sort of mums that would be doing their kids' assignments.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but come on, it's a little too interested, isn't it?
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: It seems like she's vicariously living through her child because
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: this seemed.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: To be one of her dreams. Oh, it was very
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: difficult to watch.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: It seems like this kid has a lot of pressure
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: on her to do well And I'm surprised that you
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: would go and share this on social media.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Rachel did end up writing an update.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: As you said, Sophie, she said that her daughter placed
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: 12th out of 100 girls and achieved her best time
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: and best performance. She also wrote, the best I've seen
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: her try ever. She struggled and wanted to walk, but
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: overcame it and kept going.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: She probably had no choice. If I'm standing there, get up.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. She then went on to say, it's never about
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the placing for us. What we care about is the
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: commitment to their work and effort. What you put in
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: is what you get out. So proud of her, had
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: to hold back a gazillion tears. I would be pretty
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: pissed off if I was a parent at this school
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: and I'm at work and yeah, I'm very excited for
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: my child to be competing in this race. thinking well
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: no wonder my child didn't poll so well when they've
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: got the advantage of having their mum there breathing down
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: their neck telling them to keep going well this isn't
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the first time rachel's parenting has been put under the
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: spotlight last month some of her followers accused her of
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: giving her children disordered eating labeling her an almond mum
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: so for those whose tiktok algorithm hasn't served them up
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: this term yet it is a negative term for a
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: mum who has bought into diet culture so They normally
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: have an obsession with healthy eating and body image, and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: this usually flows onto the daughter's body image too. Now,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: these accusations came off the back of a video Rachel
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: shared cooking naked burgers for her children. So Rachel used
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: lettuce cups instead of burger buns. Now, Rachel hit back
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: labeling the commentary as hilarious and said trolls wouldn't complain
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: if she fed her kids fast food.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: She said, gee whiz, it's.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Funny, you know, they wouldn't blink an eye if I
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: ordered cheeseburgers and fries from a fast food chain and
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: put that on the table. But homemade naked burgers full
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: of vegetables would create psychological damage.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Go figure.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I tend to see where she's coming from with that though,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: because that's one meal that's a healthy option. Yeah, but
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: this is off the back of, so Rachel's personal brand
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: is very much rooted in the fitness and wellness space.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: And she does have her own wellness brand called Kissed
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Earth and she sells supplements and powders. And often on
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: her Instagram story, she is sharing very healthy recipes and
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: promoting her products at the same time. So maybe it
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: was this positioning of trying to sell a product.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: What's wrong with kids eating healthy?
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, I actually do think it's a form of
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: abuse to only put fast food down your child's mouth. Yet,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: as she's saying here, people don't blink an eye at that.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: It's difficult because there are some families who are struggling
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and they might put stuff on the table for their
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: kids that might not be as healthy as what Rachel
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Finch is able to afford.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: But I also agree with you, Sophie.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I can't stand when people shame others for being healthy
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: and cooking home cooked meals for their kids. It is
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: tough because a lot of the time it does turn
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: into mum shaming and people are putting a microscope over
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: every single thing that the individual does, which is also difficult.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: And I think that a lot of families have different rituals. They,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you know, the parents have different backgrounds. So obviously for Rachel,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: health and fitness is important to her. Of course, she's
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: going to be feeding her kids healthy food. I think
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: TikTok is a clear example of this because on one
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: side of the algorithm, you've got these videos of mums,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: usually American mums, sharing what they're feeding their kid. And
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: it's like very highly processed food. And they're getting completely
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: abused in the comment section saying how it's child abuse.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: And then you've also got the side of the internet
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: where Rachel Finch is serving naked burgers to her kids and.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Everyone's like, oh, my God, just let them live. Give
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: them a real burger.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: That photo, we didn't think it was really cock-centric.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Abby Chatfield has taken the humble soft launch up a notch.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: While some people share a sneaky photo of their partner's
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: arm at dinner or their silhouette at the beach, Abby
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: has shared a photo of her face next to her
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: boyfriend's crotch.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I do want to point out, he was fully clothed.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: He was wearing shorts at the time.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: She captioned the photo, semi-soft launch, and she was referencing
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: both the relationship status and the state of his appendage.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I laughed so much when I saw this photo.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: It is so on brand for Abby. Yeah, it's got
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: her sense of humor all over it.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: And the Blue Tick Brigade was out in force to
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: congratulate her. So MasterChef's Khan Ong wrote, oh my effing God,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: oh my effing God, can you send me the full
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: raging hard launch in the DMs, thanks. Some fans called
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the post comedy gold with one saying it's the best
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: announcement ever and that Abby should try stand-up comedy. While
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: some questioned whether her partner was indeed semi-soft in the
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: photo with one writing, why does.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: It look hard then?
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: To which Abby responded, because he has a huge cock.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: We talk a lot about influencer soft launches on this podcast,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: but I have never seen anything like this. It was
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: quite divisive. So some followers, of course, were offended by it.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: One person labeled it as gross and another accused Abby
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: of being a bad influence on young girls. Now, Abby,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: of course, responded saying, sorry, we're having fun in Mexico
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: and in love, Chook. She did also respond on her
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: story shortly after saying that she was shocked by the
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: response to her post.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Here's what she said. Okay, listen up, everyone. I just
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: want to clarify something.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: That photo, we didn't think it was really cock-centric. We
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: just thought it was like, I'm Nia. We just, listen, Vanessa,
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: you've written an article. We really didn't think. That it
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: was like cock. We just thought it was like a
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: funny pun because we happened to take a photo of
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: me next to my boyfriend's. I was horny.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: What did you say?
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: He was horny. He wants everyone to know.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: He wants everyone to know that.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: He was horny.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Well, she didn't leave anything to the imagination just then.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: You may be wondering who does the crotch actually belong to?
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Or the semi-hard penis that was in the photo.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: So it does belong to Adam Hyde, who is in
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Peking Duck, and he releases his music under the name
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Kelly Holiday.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: So I'm not, do we call him Adam or Kelly?
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Well, she did mention back on her podcast in March
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: that she had begun dating someone and everyone was trying
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: to guess. And she was talking about how happy she
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: was and that she'd actually known him.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: For a couple of years.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: She has said he's emotionally intelligent and they seem like
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: a very good pairing. They look like a brother and
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: sister couple because they are actually.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: In a couple of photos together on Abby's Instagram.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: So they were hanging out at the Grand Prix and
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: they looked very cute together. So he has long, thick,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: curly hair. They look very similar. Now, Adam did actually
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: comment under the soft launch photo saying, whose cock is that?
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: They seem to have the same sense of humour.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they're clearly having a lot of fun teasing
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: this relationship. Abby ended up posting a video of her
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: in her bikinis dancing and miming to a Peking Duck
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: song and wrote, heard this random song from this random
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: new EP and felt inspired to create a little something
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: from Mexico.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Does anyone know the artist? Someone help.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: If somebody ever screws you over and then you think
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: to yourself, oh, my God, He looks so in love
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: with his next girlfriend. Guys, just patiently sit there because
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: you know he's going to do the same thing.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Safran Barker has issued a warning to her ex, Louis
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Rhys Zamet's new girlfriend. The Chiefs recruit soft-launched his relationship
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: with the Sports Illustrated model two months after his split
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: from the British YouTuber. Rather than feeling upset though, Safran
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: admitted she felt satisfied knowing the woman was set to
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: receive the same treatment she did. This breakup is the
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: breakup that keeps on giving. I can't believe they've only
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: been broken up for two months. So much has gone
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: on since. And they broke up when Saffron allegedly found
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: out that Lewis was cheating on her whilst he was
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: at an NFL game.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Training camp.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: And this played out heavily on TikTok with Saffron miming
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: to breakup songs and her momager, Wendy, going rogue in
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: the comment section, calling Lewis out.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: What we have all been waiting.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: For though, is Saffron to drop the dirty details or
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: receipts on a dating podcast. And so far, she hasn't
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: gone into exactly what went down. But the cracks do
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: seem to be forming, though, with news that Lewis has
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: moved on with another social media star.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: It is clear that he has a type.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: So his new girlfriend is 23-year-old Zandra Pohl, who has
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: 1.2 million followers on TikTok. She's most popular for her
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Get Ready With Me videos and also for being a
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: DJ in Miami. Now, I don't know if you've seen her,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: but she looks very similar to Saffron. And this couple
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: have been spotted exploring Lewis's new hometown in Kansas City.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: So I'm assuming she is American as well.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, she's from Miami. So they visited an amusement park.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: And randomly, their first photo together is them on a
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: roller coaster.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Which is what you want. They're not usually the most
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: flattering images, but she did look pretty good.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Didn't he take Saffron to some amusement park over Christmas
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: time as well?
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: It seems to be his go-to day. Well, he seems
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: like a big kid, so that doesn't surprise me.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: It's clear that this amusement park wanted to cash in
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: on the fact that this was going to be the
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: couple's soft launch.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Well, they made it.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: A soft launch because they plastered this image of them
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: on the roller coaster all over their social media accounts.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: And The tour bus company that the couple also travelled
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: in seemed to want to get in on the action
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: because they also posted a photo of the pair looking
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: very loved up on social media. I'd be pissed off
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: if I was them, especially if I wanted to keep
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: this relationship under wraps. Yeah, but they were at an
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: amusement park out in public. They wanted to be seen.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Perhaps they got free tickets and the amusement park said, oh,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: can we share your photo? Well, they're definitely getting a
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: lot of attention for it because the mainstream media have
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: obviously picked up on this story. And journalists are already
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: writing stories saying, meet the new Kansas City Chief Players girlfriend.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Now, Zandra is also fresh out of a relationship.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: So she was dating a fellow TikToker who was also
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: a DJ and they broke up after three years together.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: So maybe she's just looking to meet new people.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know if this is actually as serious as
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: everyone's making it out to be. Is there any talk
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: online about whether the relationship with this girl was crossed
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: over with Saffron? Because there was so much talk of
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Lewis cheating on her over in America. No, I mean,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I think it's clear that the pair have just met
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: on Raya. He wasn't following her before. I don't think
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: that this was any sort of overlap because straight after
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: the breakup, he was moving quickly and sliding into other girls'
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: DMs and adding new girls and liking.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: I think he's just a player. Yeah.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Well, it's quite clear that Saffron originally wasn't very happy
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: when she found out this news, but she has put
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: a spin on it on her own dating podcast.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: This is what she said.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: If somebody ever screws you over and then you think
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: to yourself, oh my God, he looks so in love
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: with his next girlfriend and he's this and he's that.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: And oh my God, I can't believe he's found someone else. Guys,
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: just patiently sit there because you know he's going to
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: do the same thing. You can sit there satisfied knowing
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: he will do the same thing. Yeah.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Or she will do the same thing to every person.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Now, this was actually in response to a listener question.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: But it's fairly obvious that she was inadvertently referring to
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the recent news. It's becoming clear that Saffron wants to
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: set the record straight about this relationship because as soon
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: as the breakup became public, she was mocked for being
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the overly eager one because she got a tattoo with
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: his initials on it when they'd only been together for
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: a couple of months. She made this AI video of
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: their future babies. She was talking about moving to the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: US with him. And now I think that she wants
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: to show that he's actually the one that love-bombed her.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: So she has actually put it out there on her
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: podcast that he was saying that he planned to propose
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: to her at the six-month mark of their relationship.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Here's what she said.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: I was adamant my ex, who I wasn't with for
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: very long, was going to propose to me very quickly,
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: wasn't he? And we were together for about six months.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: So in my eyes, and I know it's No, seriously.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: So when we all got the news we got, it
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: was a very big.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Shock factor, I can assure you.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Because I thought I was going to at about six months. Well,
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: to be honest, if he was in the country, I
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: probably would have been. So I don't know, because I've
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: always had the attitude of, if you know, you know,
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: why do you have to wait years? I don't get it.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: That was always my attitude.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: What a fuck you from Saffron. This made me feel
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: really sorry for her, especially Sophie, you mentioned all of
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: the crap she's copped after this breakup. It's obvious that
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: this guy has been love bombing her and perhaps that's
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: what he's doing to his new girlfriend. And she wants
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the new girlfriend to be aware of just how serious
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: they were.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: She's clearly bothered by it as anyone would be.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, if you think you're going to be marrying the guy,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: you know, of course you're going to be pissed off
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: And you'd be wanting to stamp your authority over it.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: And also to let all the trolls know that you
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: weren't just reading too much into it. What's the bet
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Saffron thought that she was getting proposed to in the Maldives? Because-
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: her and Lewis had booked a trip and they were
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: supposed to be celebrating after this training camp that he
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: was on. And she spoke a lot about in the
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: lead up to Valentine's Day, how can you believe Lewis
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: didn't know how to get rose petals in a hotel room?
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: So it's almost like she had.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: This vision in her head of she's getting proposed to
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: in the Maldives.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: It's going to be so picture perfect for TikTok. And
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: then can you imagine finding out that your partner allegedly
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: cheated on you?
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: She's actually taken it quite well. I thought that she
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: would have been a bit more down in the dumps.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: And it looks like she may be moving on with
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: a German basketball. So fans have spotted her liking and
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: commenting on Brandon Titch's post.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Did you get excited that his name's Brandon, like your partner?
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I did because let's just know I am a big
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: fan of Saffron Barker. She probably is my favorite influencer.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: After Molly Mae. I just love because of the invention
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: of Raya.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: All of these influencers are now dating these international sports players.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, she loves a long distance relationship.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: She's in the UK, he's in Germany. That's not too
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: far away. This could be quite perfect. Well, that's where
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: we're going to leave things today. If you do want
• 26:01
