The Pregnancy Announcement We Didn't See Coming · Outspoken the Podcast

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Sophie Torber and coming up on today's show, Abbey Chatfield's
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: musician boyfriend runs into her ex, Olivia Rogers reveals how
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: she met her new man, Shani Grimmond is forced to
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: flee Bali, the Olympics anti-sex beds and the rise of
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the man perm. But first, pyjama entrepreneur Sophie Keisha has
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: announced she's expecting her third child. And this definitely wasn't
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: on my 2024 bingo card. I know. Last year we
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: did influencer predictions for 2024 and I would have never
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: put this down. I had a look back and quite
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a few of those predictions have come true. We will
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: revisit it at the end of the year. But getting
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: into this announcement, Sophie uploaded a carousel of images. And
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: in the photo, Sophie and her two kids, Bobby and Florence...
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: are all lying in bed wearing matching leopard print pyjamas
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: from Sophie's brand, of course, with Sophie's pregnant belly on display.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: And in one image, we see a close-up of her
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: stomach with Keisha branding boldly below it. I couldn't believe
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the product placement here. They say the devil works hard,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: but apparently Sophie Keisha works harder. Now, in a couple
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: of the photos, the family is also enjoying a pizza together,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: which was really random. And Sophie captioned the post, mine. Now,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: this post led to a lot of confusion because Some
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: followers weren't sure if it was a pregnancy announcement and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: thought maybe she was referencing that she had a food
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: baby because of the pizza. I couldn't help but notice
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: that the kids look really miserable in the photos. It
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: looked like they really didn't want to be there. And
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering whether that's why the pizza was there because
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: she wanted to bribe them to be in it. Well,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that poor kid Bobby, last week he was vomiting his
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: guts up, so he's probably still feeling sick. I hope
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: these photos were taken before that incident. Her bedroom looked
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a lot cleaner. I couldn't see any vomit marks on
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the floor. Well, doesn't this add more to the story?
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Because poor Sophie Keisha, she might be suffering from morning
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: sickness and she's having to deal with everybody else's sick. Now,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the Blue Tick Brigade was out in force with Steph
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Clare Smith, Ashley Bynes and Abby Gilmore all congratulating her.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: And I was really fascinated to see what sort of
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: engagement this post was going to get because Sophie's engagement
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: rate has dramatically dropped off over the past few years.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: So following her breakup with ex-fiance Maddie Garrick, she vowed
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to no longer share private details about her life, which
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: led to a lot of her followers tapping out and
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: losing interest. And every time I seem to check in
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: with her, it feels like her Instagram is one big ad,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: either for her pajama line, Keisha, or for HelloFresh sponsorship deals.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like you're getting the authentic her or
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: any insight into her family life or her relationships, which
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: is what we want to hear. I ended up taking
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a look at Social Blade, which is a platform that
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: shows you influencers analytics. And Sophie averages around a thousand
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: likes per post, which is fairly low for an influencer
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: with over 256,000 followers. And her engagement rate is sitting
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: at 0.6%. Wow, that is really low. Because if you
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: look at someone like Georgia Richards, she has around 67,000
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: followers on Instagram. Yet her engagement is through the roof.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It's around 13%. But she has a very engaged community.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: And Sophie used to have an engaged community, but she's
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: lost a lot of those loyal followers. She has lost
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: 510 followers in the past 30 days. I mean, her
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: pregnancy post did fare quite well in comparison to her
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: regular post, which is always the case with big life events.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: She got over 22,000 likes and 835 comments. I'm sure
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: she also got a fuck ton of send-ons because I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: think The announcement blew everyone's minds. No one was expecting it. Well,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: you said it fared fairly well. It got 22 times
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: more likes than she normally gets. Yeah, I get that.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: But I'm saying other influencer announcements like this probably get
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of likes. And she actually lost 26
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: followers that day. And usually... When an influencer makes a
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: pregnancy announcement or an engagement announcement, they get more people
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: wanting to follow along with that life event because maybe
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: they're in the same life moment. I saw this TikTok
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: today that this guy put up and he said that
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: anytime someone announces they're pregnant or they're engaged or they're
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: going to Europe with the love of their life, it's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: an instant unfollow from him. So maybe that's what's happened now.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: The day before Sophie made this pregnancy announcement, she surprised
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: her followers by sharing that she's starting up a YouTube channel.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: So it's all making a lot more sense. And so
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: far she has only 87 subscribers and she has shared
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a two minute video. Wow. I'm not trying to bash
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Sophie because I know it can be tough getting YouTube subscribers,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: but you'd think if you've got 246,000 people on Instagram
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and You might get around 10,000 of those coming over
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to subscribe to your YouTube channel. The video that she
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: put up isn't a great advert for wanting to subscribe
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: because I don't know if it's a short, but when
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I clicked on it, it came up as a regular
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: YouTube video. It was all shot on her phone in
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: portrait mode. It was her waking her kids up in
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the morning. cooking them breakfast and then driving them to school.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: It was a two minute video. I would not tune
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: in again. Maybe people were concerned she was going to
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: show her day from last week, which involved all that vomit. Well,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that video ended up getting 800 views. So it's clear
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: that people wanted to check in, see what it was about,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: but then were probably feeling pretty uninspired to then subscribe.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe she made a rookie error and tried to upload
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: her YouTube short on her computer. Because if you do
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: it that way and not through your phone, That's when
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: it uploads as a short video. But then it didn't
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: make sense because the thumbnail was a landscape thumbnail. So
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it was. She's going to have
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to pick up a YouTube game if she wants to
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: attract subscribers. Yeah. It's clear though, that she is trying
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to launch a YouTube channel off the back of this
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: pregnancy announcement and reignite her former success as a mummy blogger.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Because in recent years, as we've touched on, she's been
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: very reluctant to share about her private life and it
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: has made her content very irrelevant. I wouldn't say that
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: she's sort of in that influencer zeitgeist at the moment. Well,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: she's smart enough to realize that she needs to share
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: aspects of her life again to get her followers interested. Well,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: she originally built her core following off a blog that
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: she created called The Young Mummy, and that's when she
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: fell pregnant with Bobby a decade ago. And followers really
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: loved her no bullshit attitude and how she would keep
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: things very real. I just find it weird that She
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: was saying only a year ago that she wants privacy,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: yet now she's having a baby. It's like, let's put
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: everything up there. Let's invade this child's privacy. Why don't
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I just get in my head? We want privacy. Like
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: on that episode of South Park with Harry and Meghan.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I think her reluctance to share about her personal life
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: has resulted in a huge loss of brand deals and
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: also profits for her business, Keisha. And we've seen her
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: in recent times sharing on an Instagram story about the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: huge water bills and electricity bills that she's been receiving
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and She's more been talking about her struggles financially. So
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I do think that she is having to start this
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: YouTube channel up in a bid to make more money
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and to stay relevant as an influencer. Well, followers have
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: noticed that Sophie has added the term single mum to
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: her caption on Instagram. It's an interesting way to brand
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: yourself because in the past, she's been somewhat unrelatable because
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: she's made so much money off social media. But by
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: branding yourself as a single mum, you're sort of saying
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I'm one of the people. get behind me, support me.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: As opposed to pajama mogul. Exactly. Well, in January, 2023,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Sophie revealed that she was planning on having a baby
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: with her ex-fiance, Maddie Garrick, before they split. And she
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: explained that they were on a waiting list for a
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: sperm donor for nine months. And she was supposed to
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: be getting pregnant in January. So perhaps it shouldn't be
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: such a shock for us that she's gone on and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: done it herself. She was very frustrated after going through
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: this whole experience and being put on this waiting list
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: only for her relationship to fall apart. And she directed
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: a lot of that anger at Maddie. I can understand
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: her feeling that way. And there were rumors about infidelity,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: which have not been confirmed. Well, she told a reporter
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to get so close and then have that split happen.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: It not only affects my relationship, but affects my future
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: of being a mom as well. It's such a big
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: process to go through now for it to be taken
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: away from me. So it is really lovely news that
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: she's able to do this on her own. Good morning.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I'm recording the podcast today. I don't know what to wear,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: so let's figure it out together.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Olivia Rogers has revealed how she met her new boyfriend, Hugo. Now,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: whilst the two have so far kept their relationship very private,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: she divulged how they met in an Instagram Q & A.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: So she wrote, I love the story of how we
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: met So I'm happy to answer this one. She went
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: on to explain that she was out in a bar
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: in Melbourne when her best friend Paul Versace spotted Hugo
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: on the dance floor. He is such a wingman for
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Olivia because he was also friends with her ex Morgan Waterhouse.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: That's a good point. I wonder if he's still friends
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: with Morgan because it would be pretty awkward now that
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: they've had this very messy split. He would have had
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to take sides with Olivia. I think he must have
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: known that Hugo was Olivia's type straight away because he
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: has an uncanny resemblance to her ex-husband, Justin McKagan. Yeah.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: So he ended up approaching Hugo and went over and said,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: you're handsome. Are you single? I have the perfect girl
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: for you. I wonder if he initially thought that Paul
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: was hitting on him. Like, I wonder how quickly he
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: was like, I have the perfect girl for you. It's
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: not me that's interested in you. It's the girl over there.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine being this guy though? Most of the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: time when someone says they've got a friend, you're like, oh, okay.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Can I see a photo? It's literally Miss Universe Australia.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: This guy has lucked out. So Paul ended up going
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and grabbing Olivia, bringing her over and just placing her
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: in front of him. He would have thought all of
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: his Christmases would come at once. Then Olivia said, the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: way Paul describes it is there were love hearts popping
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: in the sky all around both of us. Well, from
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the very few details I've heard about Hugo, he and
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Olivia seem really well suited because both of them grew
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: up in Adelaide. So Hugo attended Scotch College, which is
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Adelaide's most prestigious school. When you say most prestigious, it's
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the most expensive school in Adelaide to attend. And a
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: lot of people initially thought that they were family friends
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: and that's how they met, but we've been told they
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: met on the dance floor. Yeah, I was guessing it
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: was like a dating app thing, but old school.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: I would never have even been in this man's orbit
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: if it wasn't for Matt ending it with me on
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: national TV and it being one of the most humiliating,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: painful experiences that I've been through in my career.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Whilst in Melbourne working on his album, Peaking Duck's Adam
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Hyde ran into his girlfriend, Abby Chatfield's ex, Dr. Matt
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Agnew at a pub. And instead of ignoring each other
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: or being frosty, they sent Abby a photo together. I
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: love that Abby actually shared this photo on her Instagram
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: because it is such an iconic picture. The first thing
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I noticed was just how different Adam and Matt looked.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: So you've got Adam the rocker with the big curly hair,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and then you've got The clean cut scientist. Yeah. And
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, we were talking about Olivia Rogers before. She
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: has this cookie cutter type that she goes for, but
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Abby seems to have a variety of types. In saying that,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: she was put on The Bachelor where, you know, she
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: kind of had to go for whoever was there. It's
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: maybe he wasn't her regular type. Now in the photo,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Adam is doing the peace sign and Matt is sticking
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: his tongue out. It And as you said, Abby instantly
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: uploaded this to social media and wrote, ah, when Adam
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: sends me photos, it's usually either something horny or funny.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: But I guess this is a combination of both. Two
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: of the loveliest men I know. If Matt Agnew had
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: chosen me, I wouldn't have met Adam. So grateful all around.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Everything works out in the end. Now, for those who
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: don't have a good knowledge of Bachelor history, Abby came
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: second on Matt's season. And the pair generated headlines when
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Abby and Matt were dry humping on the beach. And
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: this is where that whole narrative of Abby being a
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: slut and being slut-shamed came from. And this whole chance
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: meeting between Adam and Matt really made Abby reflect on
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: this whole butterfly effect situation. Here's what she said.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: But here we are five years later and there's beautiful
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Matt with beautiful Adam. Matt and I are friends now.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: And Adam, I want to cry, and Adam is– Ran
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: into him in a pub and thank you, Matt, because
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: you breaking up with me led me to Adam. After
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: my time on The Bachelor, I got slut shamed really badly.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: I think my edit wouldn't have been the same if
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Matt didn't not end up with me. I then started
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: writing articles about feminism, then a podcast about my opinions
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: on things. Then I got a radio show from that
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: podcast being so successful. And then I met Adam. interviewing
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: him on my radio show.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Abby then went on to call Adam her soulmate and
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: she said that he is really the love of her
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: life and they are just meant to be together. That's
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: a big statement. They have only been together, well, publicly
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: for a couple of months, but they seem so cute together.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I don't often ship relationships, but I do for this one.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I think it's because I love cocker spaniels and they
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: share two cocker spaniels together. And They look like they're
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Cocker Spaniels. They both got brown curly hair. They're those
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: people who look like they're dogs. Yeah. And also, I
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: think it shows what a great guy Adam is because
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of people's boyfriends wouldn't really want to hang
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: out with their girlfriend's ex. And the fact that he
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: had fun with it and took a photo. Well, yeah,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I want to point out that Abby said that she
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: and Matt Agnew are really good friends now, which is
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: also quite rare. I'm going to Bali tomorrow and I
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: have not packed. And I do have a bit of
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: work that I need to get done. Shani Grimman has
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: shared about the scary moment she fainted in a nail
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: salon in Bali. Now, we spoke last week about how
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Shani was back vlogging on TikTok. And in her most
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: recent video, she showed her followers her prep for Bali,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: which included taking constipation medication. Now, poor Shani, she only
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: lasted three days in Bali. So she told her followers,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: When she arrived on the island, she was suffering from
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: really bad PCOS symptoms. So she was nearly a month
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: late for her period and was feeling quite dizzy and
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: had a sore stomach. So while getting her nails done
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: in a local salon, Shani remembered telling her friend Liv
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: she didn't feel well. And the next minute, Sharni fainted.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: And it was very lucky her friend was there because
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: she ended up catching her before she hit her head
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: on the ground. This is why Bali doesn't appeal to me.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: It's either so hot and humid that you feel like
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: you're going to faint or you're shitting yourself from Bali belly.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Like it's either one of the two. And I think
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Bali is one of the worst places that you can
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: feel sick because it's such a chaotic place. Like obviously
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: you've got these beautiful villas that you can relax in.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: But when you're feeling sick or you have diarrhea, there's
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: no place like home and your own toilet. You don't
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: really want to be going to the hospital over there.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Sharni said that her PCOS cramps continued on for 30
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: to 45 minutes while she was lying on the floor
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: at the nail salon. And she ended up sharing a
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: photo of her acrylics half done and also a photo
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: of her lying on the floor on her Instagram story.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: In the Bali prep vlog, She was showing her audience
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the new camera that she picked up and when she
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: picked up the box, that's when she broke her fingernail.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: So it's a butterfly effect, isn't it? It is. We're
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: seeing it coming to life. Because she ended up flying
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: home straight away to Queensland after this incident. I could
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: just imagine her sitting on the plane having to look
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: at her half-done fingernails. I hope she's had time to
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: get them fixed.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: For those wondering about the cardboard beds in the village,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I'm going to.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Show you what they look like. Now, Sophie, the most
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: talked about part of the Olympic Games so far has
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: been the cardboard beds. So they have been dubbed the
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: anti-sex beds and athletes aren't happy. This is how night
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: one went on the cardboard beds. It's actually rock solid.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: We're trying it. You can flip them over.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Apparently there's a softer side, but that was the soft side.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: So there's a misconception that this bed is just made
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: of cardboard. The actual structure is, but it does have
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: a mattress on top of it, which doesn't look particularly comfortable.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Why are they using cardboard? These poor people, they've trained
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: their whole fucking lives to be there. They need to
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: get a good night's sleep and they're having to sleep
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: with a cardboard frame. Well, it's not the first time
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: this cardboard bed has been used. So it made an
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: appearance in the Tokyo 2021 Olympics. And at the time,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: there were rumours swirling around that it was brought in
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: to stop athletes having sex with each other and potentially
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: spreading COVID. But why would that stop them? I mean,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: these are athletic people. They're probably not even having sex
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: in a normal bed. There's plenty of places around the
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: village that they could have sex. Well, this whole idea
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: of this being an anti-sex bed has already been debunked
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: thanks to TikTok. So multiple athletes, mainly divers, have jumped
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: onto the app and they've shared videos of themselves jumping
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: on the bed and somersaulting on it and doing flips
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: just to show that this cardboard bed is actually very sturdy.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: It's so exciting that all of the athletes have TikTok
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: because we're going to be seeing such a different side
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: to the Olympic Games. We've already seen a couple of
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the female athletes calling out their uniforms that they're wearing
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: to the ceremony. I'm going to touch more on that
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday's episode because it is fascinating. We've put up
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: a carousel going through some of the outfits throughout the
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: decades can't get over the 1984 uniform that athletes wore
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: to the LA Olympics. There is this yellow dress which
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: almost goes down to your ankles and it has like
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: koalas and kookaburras, all the Aussie animals all over it.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: It is so garish. I actually thought it was satire
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: until I looked more into it and saw them actually
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: at the opening ceremony wearing them. It was like Kath
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: and Kim vibes. I disagree. I think it was very patriotic.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: It was very patriotic, but it looked like something that
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Kath and Kim would wear. Yeah, 100%. Well, just back
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: to the beds. The real reason behind the cardboard beds
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: is actually due to sustainability. So the organizers of the
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Paris Olympics have promised to keep emissions for the Games
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: historically low. So that means the poor athletes are stuck
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: sleeping on these very uncomfortable beds. I don't get that, though.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Why even bother to have this poxy... cardboard bed frame,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: just put the mattresses on the floor. If I was
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: an athlete, I just want to bring a blow up mattress.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: I think you get a better night's sleep on that.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: But on the topic of athletes hooking up at the Olympics,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: there's a photo that has gone viral of tennis player
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Carlos Alcaraz and the women's Dutch hockey team. I don't
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: know if you've seen it floating around, but to set
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the scene, it shows the 21-year-old tennis superstar surrounded by
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: blonde fit female hockey players. And you can just imagine
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: what the comment section looks like. So former world number
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: seven tennis player, Marty Fish wrote, you ain't sly, Carlo.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: While another follower added, cardboard beds don't worry the young king.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I'm curious, do the athletes actually have to stay in
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: the village or Can some of them try and get
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: an edge by booking out a really fancy hotel? Because
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: it doesn't sound comfortable staying in these beds or you
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: being kept awake because people are partying with girls. Yeah, well,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of high profile players who choose
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: not to stay in the Olympic Village. Novak Djokovic is
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: one of those. But Alcarez said he wanted the true
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Olympic Village experience. But the Olympic Village has a big reputation.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: So in 2012, American Olympian Ryan Lodge told reporters that 70%
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: to 75% of Olympians are having sex in the Olympic Village.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: And as a result, there have been 200,000 condoms brought
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: in to the Olympic Village in Paris for this year's Games.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: So that equates to around 20 per athlete. That's why
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: it surprises me that Novak Djokovic doesn't want to stay
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: in the village because he broke up with his wife
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: in March. There were rumours that maybe there was some
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: cheating involved. Who knows? But I thought he might be
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: wanting that experience to go and meet some new ladies. Well,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I think the issue with Novak is he has never
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: won a gold medal. So I think he's taking it
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: pretty seriously this year. You can imagine you'd have quite
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: an edge actually sleeping on a proper bed as opposed
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: to the cardboard ones. Just to put the condom stat
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: into perspective, at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, They initially
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: ran out of condoms. So they had 70,000 to begin with,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: and they had to go and order another 20,000. But
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the Olympic Games that had the most condoms available was
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: the 2016 Rio Olympics. They had 450,000. Surely there's a
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: condom brand that is getting a sponsorship deal out of this,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: like the official provider of the Olympic Games. I mean,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: you're going to be having some pretty athletic children if
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: one gets through. Everyone in my comments is asking me
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: what kind of perm I got this time.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: So here's what you got to do to get your
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: hair to look like what mine does right now.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Move over mullets. There's a new Gen Z hair trend
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: taking over TikTok. It's called the man perm. Have you
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: seen this, Sophie? This hasn't infiltrated my TikTok feed yet,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: but I always remember growing up, my Nana would say
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: that she loved men with curly hair. Curly tops. Curly tops.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: So she would be all for this trend. Well, the
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: best way to describe this new look is The fuck
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: boy broccoli cut or other people are calling it the
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Zuma perm. So the best thing about this trend is
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: seeing all of the TikTok boys sitting at the hairdressers
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: looking like grannies with curlers in their hair. Why is
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: it the Zuma trend? Because they're Gen Zers. So what?
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: These 20 year old guys are actually going to the
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: hairdressers and asking for perms. Yeah. So they're having to
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: sit there with all the chemicals in their hair. They've
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: got the full on curlers and the dryer thing around it.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I don't want to shame anyone because I think that
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: it's great when people do take care of their appearance.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm seeing everywhere. This is what's infiltrating
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: my TikTok feed is women with hair rollers in, not men.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: But I mean, maybe I'm going to have to tell
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: my husband about this because he has pin straight hair.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: All of the hairdressers he goes to comment about how
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: straight it is. They can't get any sort of curl
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: or anything. He's not particularly lucky right now because they're
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: saying that the perm has hit fever pitch. And this
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: is because a photo showing the new Superman, David Coren Sweat,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: aka Clark Kent, rocking a perm in the movie. Are
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: you a fan of the perm? Should we get Dale
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: to get one done? Look, I think some of the
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: TikTok guys are definitely pulling it off, but I'm not
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: really a huge fan of curls on guys. A former
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: colleague of mine actually used to get perms all the
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: time in the 80s and he said it's the reason
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: that he's gone thin on top. So I wonder what
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: effect this is going to have for the Gen Zers.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Now let's get into our best and worst of the week.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Now to be honest, Sophie and I were laughing before
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: because we're struggling to come up with the best because
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: we feel like we've been working like dogs. It's been
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: a very busy time at the moment. We're very, very
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: burnt out and I think I need a holiday. Like
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I told everyone I'm planning my– honeymoon and thank you
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: so much for those who have sent in suggestions for
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Fiji Fiji is very expensive yeah I am I'm looking
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: around after my comments on Bali I'm probably not going
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: to Bali do you know what it is we're saying
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: we're burnt out I think it's this time of year
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I was talking about to some friends of mine everyone
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: was saying they just feel like it's cold it's miserable
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I think this is the period where you just put
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: your head down and you get into your work I'm
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: ready for daylight savings I'm just over it like my
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: partner and I keep sending messages being like over it
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: can't stand this anymore. There's only one so many fires
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: that you can have to roast marshmallows and enjoy. Now
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: I'm going to start with my low of the week
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: because that springs to mind faster than my high. And
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: my low of the week was I was on a
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: dog walk and I was on the phone to you actually, Amy,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: and my dog Archie, he pulled me to go onto
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: this front verge and I'm walking along. All of a
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: sudden I am hit in the face by a tree stump,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: like a tree branch. It almost knocked me out. I
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: didn't see it. It was this low hanging, very thick branch.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I have a bruise on my head. I almost saw stars.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Like I'm like, I need to get Neuroflex. We work
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: with a concussion management technology called Neuroflex. I need to
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: get Neuroflex because I don't know if I've been concussed
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: or if that's adding to my woes of this week,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: but that was definitely my low. I can't help but
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: laugh because when I was talking to you, like, ow
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: and I was like what has gone on you're like
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I've just walked into a tree and I'm like were
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: you not looking forward like were you so into the
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: conversation but you went to my husband why do these
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: things always happen to me like this sort of shit
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: follows me around that's definitely so what's your high then
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: my high of the week is that My new shower
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: taps arrived. Is that what they're called? Tell me you're
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: in your 30s without telling me you're in your 30s.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: My husband organized them. We have the most dodgy shower
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: at the moment. He always knocks his head on it.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Look at us. We're just, you know, accident prone.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Riveting.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So we've got this cool new gold shower head
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: and taps that we've got to put into the bathroom.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: We're trying to do slowly renovate and also... My in-laws
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: who are absolute legends, they have just finished our second shed,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: which is in our outside area. So we can finally
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: move all of the crap that is sitting in my
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: office into the shed. You're going to have to share
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: some of your transformations because you and Brandon have done
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: such a good job. Like you've got this little outdoor
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: area that you've managed to transform. It looks very Pinterest. Oh,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: you've given me an opportunity to plug. We're trying to
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: start up an Instagram, one of those house reno Instagram.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: So it's called Our Golden Hills house, we have one
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: post currently on there at the moment, but Brandon is
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: a videographer. So he's slowly working in the background, trying
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: to do some before and after stuff that we can share.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: But if you're living in an old house and you're
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: doing it up, it might be fun to follow along.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: What's it called again? It's called Golden underscore Hills underscore house. Now,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: my low of the week has just been how disgusting
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: my bedtimes have gotten. Like I am going to bed
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: later and later each week. And it's due to just
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: staying up late and doing work, which is so boring.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: We run two businesses and it's been really hard because
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: with Kate on maternity leave, we're one person down for
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: the podcast and yeah, it's not been fun.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: And Kate likes to pay me out because I like
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: to track my sleep on my Apple watch. And it
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: has been quite depressing to look at those figures, but
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: my high would be getting my wedding video back. Finally,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: it's been six months and It really portrayed the day well,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: like as in, so if you were complaining, well, not complaining,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: but you were saying how you were kind of embarrassed
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: to show people your wedding video because it just featured
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of Brandon crying. It is like, I have
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: to say the videographer, she's an absolute pro. Oh, it's stunning.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: It's a stunning video. Like it's very like movie-esque. Oh,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: I really wanted her as for my video. But I said,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: it's not like a video that you can watch over
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: and over again. Like it's sort of like it, you know,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I didn't think that I'd be this person to have
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: this emotional video because I didn't show emotion, whereas Brandon
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: cried the whole time. But with you, yours is like
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: a really nice, like 11 minute run through of all
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: the highs of the day. Yeah. He did a really
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: good job snapshotting that. One thing I've realized is how
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: embarrassing it is actually to show people your wedding video.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: So like for you guys, I didn't really care that much,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: but we had Dale's poppy and also his mom over
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: to watch it. And you know, kind of, you just
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: feel embarrassed. Like you're talking about your feelings on this
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: you know, it's been shown on the TV. It was
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: just a bit awkward. Yeah. Cause I'm waiting still to
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: get my full video back. So I've got a bit
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: of a highlight reel and I just came to the
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: decision that I felt like it was almost too intimate
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: to share on socials. Like, I mean, I might put
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: it on Facebook or something, but yeah, I mean, I
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: might get sent more of an upbeat highlight reel, but
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: I think my partner was like, please don't share that.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: It's so embarrassing. I'm crying. I want to hear about
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: other people's wedding videos. Did you share it on Facebook?
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: My cousin was asking me the other day, he's like,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: so what was the purpose of the video? Is it
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: to share? And I'm like, well, it's kind of to
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: look back on each year. Yeah. I'm so happy that
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: we both got a video because it's going to be
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: amazing to look back on and be able to show
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: your kids. Well, I think that is all we have
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: time for today. Thank you so much for joining us. Apologies.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Our subs episode has been put out a little bit later,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: but go and check it out. It is in the
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: feed now. It's all about hens parties. And a big
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: thank you to everyone who joined in on Instagram. We
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: put up a few polls. We got a few opinions
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: on different hens related topics. I feel like I've been
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: a bit of a counselor for some people who I've
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: responded to because I'm feeling for them. It is really
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: tough when you're dealing with a bridezilla and It's not
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: a fun time being a bridesmaid or a maid of
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: honour sometimes. No, it's not. But don't forget, you can
• 29:09
