• 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: Sophie Torber and coming up on today's show, taste tests
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: of SofaDofa's new Marcha collab go viral for the wrong reason,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Sarah's Day's pram dispute, two popular Australian influencers welcome baby
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: girls and Sky Wheatley denies Lockie Ward cheated with her
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: best friend. But first, Margot Robbie has shocked listeners with
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: her pronunciation of a Mexican dish and So Margot was
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: appearing on a UK podcast called Table Manners and it
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: was to promote her new movie, Weathering Heights, when she
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: told the hosts about one of her favourite dishes. Let's
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: take a listen. Do you know what bogan nachos is?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: No.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: So this is, by the way, I know I say
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: it weird. You say nachos. I say nachos and I
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: don't know why. Oh, we talked about nachos. Nachos.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: What do you call it?
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: Nachos.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: And I don't even think all Australians do that. Okay.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: But what I always thought growing up, what I thought
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: nachos was, was a packet of Doritos. No, first you
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: get the alfoil. Do you call it alfoil here or
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: do you call it aluminum foil? We call it just foil.
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: Foil.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Tin foil. Tin foil. Okay, tin foil. We call it alfoil.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: You put that down on a baking tray. Packet of Doritos. Yeah.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Tin of baked beans. Baked beans. Grated cheese. Chuck it
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: in the oven. Let it all melt. That's what I
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: thought nachos was. That's the bogan nachos. That is bogan
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: nachos and it is delicious. This made me feel so
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: much better because that's exactly how I pronounce nachos and
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: we have copped so much shit over it for a decade,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I'd say. Like my husband, when I first met him,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: was like, what the fuck are you talking about, nachos?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: That's so embarrassing. We always get slammed in our reviews
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: for pronouncing things wrong. I don't think a lot of
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: our listeners would be shocked to discover that we pronounce
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: nachos nachos. That bogan nachos, though, sounded amazing. I have
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: never had baked beans over corn chips with cheese. No,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I reckon we've got to try it and put it
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: up on our TikTok. It's funny because I think our
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: mum is to blame for a lot of our pronunciations.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Also our grandma because I think that nachos and also
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: it's actually so embarrassing to say but we grew up
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: saying tacos instead of tacos. I don't say tacos anymore.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I've converted to tacos. No, but I have realised after
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: watching so many UK influencers that that's how they pronounce
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: it in England. They say tacos. Yeah, so our grandma
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: was from England. I would like to know if any
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: other listeners have been pronouncing it nachos and whether it
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: makes it cooler to pronounce like that now that Margot
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Robbie has admitted to it. Well, someone wrote on TikTok,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I'm an Aussie and I've never heard of that pronunciation
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: of nachos before.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: Lol.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: That's actually left me bewildered. That was liked around 500 times. Oh,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: that's bad. That is so bad. Sofidofa's new marcher collaboration
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: with Tropicca has been dubbed the worst PR move. Taste
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: tests of the canned drink have been flooding TikTok with
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: followers saying the drink smells of fish and tastes like Play-Doh.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, not favorable descriptions, Soph. The disappointing thing is
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: that this seemed like a really authentic collaboration at the start. Yeah,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: because Sophadofa has been posting about her love for matcha
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: for quite a long time now across her socials. And
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: when she announced in May last year that she was
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: launching her own matcha powder with Tropica, her fans got
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: really excited. I didn't even know she had a matcha
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: powder with them. I've only heard about this canned drink.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So the powder that she initially launched with Tropica was
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: this white chocolate beauty matcha powder. And it must have
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: done reasonably well because at the end of January, Sophia
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: announced that she was launching her very own ready to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: drink can of the same flavor in 7-Eleven. Let's take
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: a listen to what she said.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: As you guys know, I have my own march up
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: with Topeka. I'm so excited to announce my beauty march
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: with Topeka will be launching in a ready to drink
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: can in 7-Eleven. Like this is not real.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: It's not real.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: Are you guys ready to see the can?
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Here she is.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: She then revealed that she was going to be appearing
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: at a local 7-Eleven to launch the drink and that
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: the first 30 people in line would receive a tank
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: top from her brand All For Mimi. So as you
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: can imagine.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: By 7.30am, there was a massive line wrapped around the buildings.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: There was so much hype about this ready to drink can.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: All for a tank top. All for a tank top.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: She put up this TikTok where she was filming literally
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: all of the girls who arrived in the said tank top.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's no wonder this brand is doing so well.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Gen Zers love her. Well, it was a great move
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: for Tropicca to get Sofa Dofa on board. As you said,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: she really fit the brief. Well, I mean, all Gen
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Zers love to drink matcha. It's the most popular drink
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: for young girls at the moment. It's become my favorite
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: drink at the moment too. That's what I was going
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to say, because you have spoken on the podcast quite
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a bit about your love for matcha. How I've become
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: such a basic bitch.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: How did you, how do you feel about it being
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: in a can? I've had it in a can in Adelaide,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: but this was a, this was a matcha that was
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: made fresh and then they put it in like one
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: of those clear cans. Well, because I think a lot
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: of these ready to drink cans are very popular in Japan.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: So it's not a totally new concept, but I don't
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: think that anyone has launched it properly in Australia. I
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: really wanted to try one of these drinks, but in Adelaide,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: we don't have 7-Eleven. So we actually haven't been able
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to taste test. We can't actually confirm whether it tastes
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: like fish, like most people have been saying. I literally
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: wish we could get our hands on it, but we
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: can't because maybe someone could send it to us. I
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm a desperate call out for sofa dofers.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: canned matcha. I hardly doubt Tropicara is going to send
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: it to us. They probably know what we're going to say. Well,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: as we touched on, her special flavor is white chocolate matcha.
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: Delicious.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: And it's on oat milk. So maybe that's where they
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: went wrong because I feel like oat milk has a
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: very specific taste. Oat milk tastes delicious. Well, I know,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: but it's got a bit of a weird taste if
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you're used to drinking full-strength milk. Oat milk has a
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: lot of sugar in it, a lot of the, you know,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the yummy tasting brands. Well, one of the selling points
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: of Sofa Dofa's matcha is that it has Japanese matcha
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: in it. Is it ceremonial matcha, does it say? I
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: don't think so because they don't say that. But when
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: you look at the ingredients... What, it says this is
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Japanese matcha? Well, it just says Japanese. Okay. But when
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: you look at the back of the can, it says
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: it has 0.8% Japanese matcha. Shouldn't that be the main ingredient? Like, again,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get in trouble for this. I'm
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: not claiming to be a matcha expert. Well, Topeka have
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: also launched two other flavors. They don't have Sofa Dofa's
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: name on it, but one of them is strawberry flavored
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and everyone said it just tastes like a strawberry Nesquik. Well,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, I quite like a strawberry Nesquik. Also delicious,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: but like you want, if you're having a matcha, you
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: want to have that matcha flavor.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I mean- That seems kind of vital, doesn't it? Now,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: one can will set you back $ 5. 50, which actually isn't
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: that expensive considering the price of drinks. When you go
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: to the petrol station, they're astronomical. Whereas you can get
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the three pack. So you get the strawberry one. the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: matcha flavor, and then her white chocolate one for $ 16. Well,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: you can get it for about the same price at McDonald's. Well,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: at most cafes, it will set you back about $ 8.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: But I mean, a can, that's quite a small amount
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: of it. Anyway, when Sophia made her announcement initially, she
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: told her followers that she couldn't wait to see their
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: taste tests of the drink. I think she regrets that.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I think she should have been careful about what she
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: wished for because the taste tests have come rolling in.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and they were far from glowing. So a TikTok user
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: called Dani, who only has 470 followers, went viral when
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: she shared her honest review of the drink. Now in
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: her video, which has racked up more than 1.4 million views,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: she filmed her friendship group reacting to the drink. Let's
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: take a listen. That is so terrible.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's bad.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: That is.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: It tastes like raspberry a bit. What is this? They're
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: all lying.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: That is so bad.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: That's actually disgusting.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: What is that?
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: It doesn't even match up.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: It's like Play-Doh. Yeah. This is how it was introduced
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to me that Sofa Dofa had the collaboration with Tropicana.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, my God. And you could tell
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: that the girls weren't trying to be mean. I think
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: they actually liked Sofa Dofa. I've seen other ones where
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: girls are like, I'm really sorry, Sofa. But it's not good.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Like it's nothing against you, but wow. Well, another TikTok
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: user called Eva, she filmed herself visiting her local 7-Eleven
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: to try the drink. And she explained that she's not
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: usually a fan of matcha in a can. So she
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: tried to give Sophia the benefit of the doubt. She
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: took it home, put it in a glass with ice. Unfortunately,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: that didn't seem to help at all. Let's take a
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: listen to what she said.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: I feel bad, but I really don't like them. They're
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: really bad.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on, but I can't smell
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: or taste matcha. I'm sorry, but I really don't like them.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: To be fair, they are in a can and I
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: don't like milky drinks in a can. So maybe that's
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: my problem. And guys, I am a matcha girlie. I
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: drink matcha every single day. I make my own matches
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: and I just love that matcha taste, which is why
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: I think I drink them. And yeah, this is not
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: giving what I was.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Hoping it would give. I saw a lot of people
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: saying that it just tasted really watery, which is not
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: what you want. Well, this video got a huge reaction.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: One user wrote, worst PR move ever. Influencers will put
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: their name to anything for cash at this point. Who
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: is even believing what influencers think? Whilst another said, I
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: had the Tropicca Beauty Marcher with Sofa Dofa and it
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: tasted straight fish, not even a hint of white chocolate.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Whilst another user said, I've not heard one good thing
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: about them. And I think what has made this launch
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: even more awkward is is the fact that Tropicca and
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: 7-Eleven have paid a number of large TikTokers to give
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: glowing reviews of the drink. How can you give an
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: honest review if you're being paid? I mean, of course
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: they're going to go, oh my God, this is delicious.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I really want to play a snippet of what TikToker
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Sasha Tyers said about the new flavor. So she has
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: 935,000 followers on TikTok. Here's what she said.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, I saved Miss Sofidofa's matcha for last because I
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: have high hopes for this one. Oh, yum. If you
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: guys like a sweet drink, in my opinion, this one's
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: the sweetest out of the three. They use Japanese matcha,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: so the matcha tastes really smooth and delicious. If you
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: guys haven't tried these yet, I highly recommend.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Now, under the post, she tagged Tropicca, 7-Eleven and Sofa
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Dofa and included the hashtag ad. I mean, at least
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: she included the hashtag ad. We could have told that
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: it was an ad anyway because of the glowing review.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: What's even more awkward about this review, for those who
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: haven't seen it, is that She cut her reaction after
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: every sip. So it almost seemed like she, it wasn't
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: even palatable. Like she just didn't want her initial facial
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: expression response to it. Like Krusty the Clown when he's
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: eating the Krusty burger. I kind of feel for this
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: influencer because how awkward would it be? You're probably so excited.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: You've got this collaboration with 7-Eleven, Sofa, Dofa and Tropicca.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: And then you're like, fuck, this drink is shit. Like
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: what am I supposed to do? To her followers, she
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: looks disingenuous. Well, she looks like a bit of a
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: seller because people were getting stuck in in the comment section.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: One user wrote, getting paid to gaslight us into thinking
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: it's good. Whilst another said, is this satire? Someone else said,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: oh girl, I can't trust you after this. They were terrible. Well,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: another creator called Raina Tennyson summed it up by sharing
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: a photo of her holding the can with the caption,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: is everyone okay? Are you all getting paid to say
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: this tastes nice? Dirt tastes better. It tastes like the
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: supplement greens powder. Now that is an honest review there.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I don't think that that girl was paid a cent.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: And that's the difficult thing for a lot of brands.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: On TikTok, you're going to get a ton of honest
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: reviews for free. Now, so if a dover hasn't touched
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: on this controversy, she has preferred to ignore it. This
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: is despite people flooding her TikTok comment section saying how
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: shit the drink is because she's been putting up these
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: videos of her with a canned matcha and she's doing
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: a cream cold foam in it and all this kind
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: of stuff. And people are like, it tastes shit.
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: The thing is, this brand deal would have been incredibly
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: lucrative for Sofado for a monetary sense. But unfortunately, I
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: think it's damaged her overall brand because it's made a
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: lot of followers lose trust in her recommendations. Especially when
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: she gained so much respect after she cut ties from
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: White Fox Boutique. And that was after the brand got
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: accused of copying designs. Yeah, it really did help build
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: up her credibility and it made a lot of consumers
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: trust her recommendations. I mean, when you think about why
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: she was approached for this deal, it's one- because she
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: has huge influence over the Gen Z market, which clearly
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Tropicca and also 7-Eleven want to get to. The other
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: reason is because this felt like a really genuine organic
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: brand deal because she loves matcha herself. The unfortunate thing
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: is when you put your name on a product like
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: this that arguably tastes no good after you have said
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: that you're a matcha girly and that you know a
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: lot about it. We haven't tried it. Well, that you've
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: built a personal brand about it. it makes you look
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: a little bit dishonest and a little bit silly.
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Well, things got even worse for Sofa Dofa and Tropicca
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: this week when an entrepreneur called Marie posted a TikTok
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: accusing the influencer and health brand of stealing her concept. Yeah,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: so she didn't actually name Tropicca or Sophia, but she
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: said that people could put two and two together, which
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: of course they did do. Now, in the video shared
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: to Marie's 12,000 followers, she said that she firmly believes
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the influencer and brand stole her idea for a ready-to-drink matcha. Allegedly. Allegedly. Now,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: she went on to explain that she reached out to
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Sophia's manager in April before she had any idea that
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a matcha collaboration with Tropica was in the works. Now,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Sophia's manager allegedly called Marie and said it was a
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: crazy coincidence that she was reaching out as Sophia was
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: already collaborating with another brand to bring out a matcha product. Now,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: he assured her that the product was not a ready-to-drink matcha,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: and he would reach back out to see if they
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: could work together in the space following the Tropica launch.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Why would they do that? Like, why would she want
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: to work with two different brands? It sounds a bit weird.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: It seems like they're just trying to keep everyone happy,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: doesn't it? I'll take your money and I'll also take
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: your money. Well, maybe they thought, oh, this is actually
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: a really good idea. She's onto something. Now, following the launch,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Marie says that she reached out and got ghosted by
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Sophia's talent agency. So she took things into her own
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: hands and went to a pop-up event that Sophia was at.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: So she said to Sophia, I have a business pitch
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: for you in the marcher space and slipped her a
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: handwritten note with more information. Now, a few days later,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: she claims that she got a call from Sophia's manager
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: who said he'd love to introduce Marie to the owner
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: of Tropica to see if they could join forces and
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: work together. Now, Marie claims that she had to beg
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the owner of Tropica multiple times to get on a
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: call with her. And when he finally did, she said
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: that she got bad vibes and it was clear he
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: wanted nothing to do with them. Marie seemed really disappointed
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: because she felt like this would have been a really
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: natural partnership between her and Tropica, particularly because she has
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: been working on this concept of a ready to drink
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: matcha for a number of years now. And she went
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: on to say that Tropica had never developed a product
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: in the ready to drink space before. So she brought
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: a lot to the table because she was working with
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: a very large company in Australia who specializes in ready
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: to drink beverages. She then went on to slam SofaDofa's
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: collaboration with Tropica saying this.
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: My prediction is that this won't last very long. It
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: has been executed very poorly. We are still working on
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: something great. I'm very, very, very excited about it. I
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: don't necessarily believe speed to market in every instance is
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: a great thing. I would never compromise quality for quick cash.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to stay silent.
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: I am a very firm believer that my idea was
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: taken from me. If you're watching this and you think
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: you did.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: Not in fact copy me, Prove me wrong.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Comment down below.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: Show me when you started your concept.
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: Prove me wrong.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: That's all I have to say. Now, I just want
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: to reiterate that these are just allegations at this point.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Tropicca and SofaDofa are yet to respond. It doesn't seem
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: to be much love lost, though, between Marie and Tropicca.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: She went on to accuse Tropicca of just using Sophia
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: to open a door to 7-Eleven. I think this is
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: a good opportunity for Marie. She's got a lot of
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: eyeballs on her content now. It sounds like she's confident
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: that she can execute a great marcher in a can. Well,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: she actually said that this fiasco has opened the door
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to a bigger opportunity for her. So she says that
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: she is now going to be working alongside talent that
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: she has to pinch herself over. Now, could she be
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: seeking pure revenge and possibly be working with Sarah's Day,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: who was the poster girl for Trapika back in the day,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: who seems to have left Trapika on bad terms. I mean,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: that would be pretty hilarious. I don't think so though,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: because Sarah's day isn't known for her love of March.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I've never heard her talk about it. She's got her
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: hydration drink, Hyro. Well, we might start seeing her slowly
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: integrating March into her everyday routine. I mean, she's running
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: a marathon. Well, she's training to run a marathon at
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: the moment. Maybe she needs a bit of a green
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: energy boost in there too. What was she known for
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: back in the day? It was like her long black
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: with almond milk. A dash of almond milk, I believe
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: it was. You might have to change that. Matcha with
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: a dash of almond milk.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: He's never spoken to me again and that like kills me.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: Like I'm just like, whoa.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Sky Wheatley has shut down rumours that her baby daddy,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Lockie Waugh, cheated with her best friend, Tori DeJong. Speculation
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: was sparked last year after Sky unfollowed the pair on
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: social media after confirming her split from Lockie. Now, so
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Skye addressed the rumors directly on her podcast. Yeah, straight
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: off the bat, the episode was entitled, No, Lockie Didn't
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Cheat With Skye's Best Friend. It's funny because I have
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: followed very closely her breakup and also her friendship feud
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: with Tori, and I wasn't actually aware of these rumors
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: at all. Really, I was. Do you know what? As
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: a podcaster, I would have made that a bit more clickbaity.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I would have said, Skye addresses cheating rumours. Yeah, she
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: gave it away pretty early. But I mean, maybe because
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: they're now back together, she's like, I don't want any confusion.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Then again, Skye is known for being very honest on
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: the podcast. He'd be like, I'm going to see what
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: she actually says. She's going to spill some serious tea
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: in this episode. It's actually a good listen. I would
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: recommend her podcast. Let's take a listen to what she
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: did say about those rumours.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: We'll put it out there that no, Tori and Lockie
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: never had sexual relations because people were saying that.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: That is wild.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: And like that really obviously hurts Tori because she's one
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: of those people that's like, no, I'm a good person.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: People need to know.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I never even considered there was cheating involved because remember
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: when Sky first announced that she and Lockie were breaking up,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Tori put out that video on TikTok seeming to throw
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: shade at Lockie because she captioned the video when you're
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: a girl's girl. So now I've got more beef with
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: her ex than she ever did. And she hashtagged it
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: breakup humor. And Sky even commented saying, that's my girl.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: That's why I never thought there was any cheating involved. Well,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: maybe people were just hoping this was another scandal like
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: the Lockie and Jules Neal one. I mean, we all
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: love a bit of a scandal. Also, Tori had broken
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: up with her long-term partner around the same time, so
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: maybe that fueled rumors more. So did Skye actually touch
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: on the reason why she and Tori were no longer
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: friends on social media? Well, initially, when we reported on
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: this fight, we thought that they had both unfollowed each other.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: But Skye admitted that it was actually her who sort
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: of lashed out and blocked Tori. And she explained that
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: they had a masturbation. fight whilst they were on a
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: girl's holiday so she said that the fight took place
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: during an Airbnb stay on the sunny coast and as
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: soon as she said the sunny coast my mind was
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: in overdrive because I was like hold on a second
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: didn't she go rogue when she was at an Airbnb
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: stay on the sunny coast and that's when she announced
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: that she and Lockie had split. So it sounds like
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: a lot went down on this trip. Well, there were
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: eight kids there in total. It sounded absolutely chaotic. I
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: feel like that might have pushed her over the edge. Yeah,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: so she was there with Tori and also a girl
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: called Chelsea who they run their clothing brand GPA with
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: and a bunch of other friends were there too. And
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Skye said not only was it supposed to be a
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: holiday with the kids but they also planned to get
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: work done on their brand. And she said in hindsight
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: she was trying to mix her social life with work
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: and kids, and it was never going to be a
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: good time because you were never going to get to
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: do all of those things. And I think the reason
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: why tensions were so high in the house was she
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: was going through her issues with Lockie, Tori was going
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: through her relationship issues with her partner, and their other
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: business partner, Chelsea, was going through a massive divorce. So
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: there was a lot of pressure on each of their
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: relationships at the time, and it sounds like they took
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: it out on each other. I found it interesting when
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Sky touched on how she's better one-on-one on holiday with
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: a friend because I remember about 10 years ago when
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: she went on a US trip with Michael Finch and
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: also Shani Grimend and Lily Brown, she was left out
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: and there was this real vibe as if she was
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: the problem on that group trip. Well, she explained on
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: this podcast that she actually has a lot of deep-seated
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: issues with friendships, which have gone back to her primary
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: school days because she said she never felt like she
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: had that one best friend that she clicked with, which
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: was quite sad. I love that Skye is so honest
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: because she said that this argument with Tori on the
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: trip wasn't a little argument. It was a proper blow
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: up that would have been good for television. How does
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Skye Wheatley not have her own reality show? Like I
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: know the cameras are following around the Hembrough sisters, but Skye.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: so good all the fights with Lockie as well it'd
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: be amazing and she wouldn't even care she'd be like
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: yeah just air it all I'm not even gonna edit
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: this shit it's funny because Skye said that all of
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the friends on the trip actually sided with Tori and
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: said that her side of events wasn't what happened but
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: she disagrees still and said that no what she thinks
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: took place took place which was quite funny she must
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: have really blown up though for people to take sides
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: it is the worst though because Poor thing. She's going
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: through this marriage breakup. Obviously, Tori is too. Tensions are high.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the kids are probably misbehaving. I feel like
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: there was probably a bit of misplaced aggression happening on
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: the trip and they're all taking it out on each other.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Let's take a listen to what she said about the fight. Basically,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: massive miscommunication. We were all going through shit.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: It was a fucking hectic time with all the kids
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: trying to work with GPA.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Why did they ever think this trip was a good idea?
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: It's one of those things that should have stayed in
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the group chat. All the partners were like, yeah, go.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Take the kids with you. Well, luckily for Sky, her
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: and Tori overcame this massive blow up and she said
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: that she thinks they're going to be friends for life. Well,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: it was actually Tori who fought for the friendship. After
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Sky blocked her, she said that Tori and Chelsea rocked
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: up at her house and wanted to make things right
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: with her. That is good because sometimes if you're on
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: social media, you can be so immature blocking people and
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: then you realise when you talk to the person, oh, actually,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: maybe I fucked up here. It's interesting because even though
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: they're friends again, Sky did drop that they are considering
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: selling their clothing brand or shutting the business down completely
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: because They just don't have time to do it all
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: and it's becoming increasingly difficult. I wonder if they're also
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: trying to avoid any more big blow-ups like this. A
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: lot of influencer apparel brands are shutting down. We've spoken
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: about it before. I just think that there are so
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: many around. Yeah, it's oversaturation. Complete oversaturation. I think they
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: all think it's going to be really easy.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at Sammy Robinson, who's obviously
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: had huge success with her brand One Mile, that's because
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: she's actually turned that into her full-time job. She's got
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: all of their focus. It's also because that would be
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: a standalone brand without Sammy. I actually really like Sky's
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: stuff though. So I don't necessarily think she should just
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: get rid of it, but it might be something they
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: put on pause. Well, it's hard if they're all looking
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: after their kids full time as well.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Well, Sky also opened up about her friendship bust up
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: with Michael Finch. I was hanging out for this because
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I've always wondered what actually went down between the two
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: of them. Because they're still not friends, are they? Well, no. So-
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Sky opened up about this because she said that she
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: was reflecting on the fallout with Tori and she said
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: that she needs to be more mature when it comes
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: to blocking friends. But basically her friendship breakdown with Michael
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Finch a number of years ago has made her quicker
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: to put her walls up and just block people. This
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: is what she said.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: And he cut me off completely. He's never spoken to
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: me again. And that like kills me. Like, I'm just like, whoa.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Like, I feel like that's the ultimate, like I'm fucking done.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: I've had my, I'm at my wit's end.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: But like, when did, when did you get to that point?
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Now I feel like I used that and I'm like done.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: Cause I know how much it hurt me.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I would love to know what this fight was actually about.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I know Sky. Can you tell us in the next episode?
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Because I mean, you're so honest. I did like the
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: little tidbit, but yes, I actually want to know what
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the fight was over. It almost seems like she wants
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: to be friends with Michael again. And this is a
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: bit of a cry for help for Michael to reach
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: out or unblock her. Yeah, because listening to her speak,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: it seems like this fallout with Michael Finch has really
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: impacted her and she's still very hurt over it. This week,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: two popular Australian influencers welcomed baby girls. The first was
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: podcaster Chloe Fisher, who was married to famous DJ Paul Fisher.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: So the couple announced the arrival of their second daughter
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: in a joint Instagram post. They shared a selection of
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: photos from the birth with the caption, the most beautiful,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: soft and healing labor, a room full of love, the
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: most perfect way to meet our beautiful baby girl. This
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: post has gone off at the time of recording. It
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: has over 384,000 likes. That is massive, even for big influencers.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, as you can imagine, there are a lot
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: of blue ticks amongst those likes. They included Indy Clinton.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Brooke Hogan, Ames, Steph Clare-Smith, Tammy Hembro, as well as
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Jacinta Franklin. I mean, the fanfare does make sense when
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: you consider that Paul has over 2 million followers and
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Chloe has almost 600,000. I mean, just for everyday people
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: as well, a baby announcement is your most liked post.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I also think the reaction has been so big and
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: positive because Chloe really opened up about her struggles with infertility.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: So she spoke in great length on her podcast and
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: also in her memoir about her difficult path to conceive.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: She revealed that she suffered four miscarriages, underwent eight rounds
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: of IVF and had multiple surgeries. So this really is
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: amazing news. It is beautiful news. We need to talk
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: about the name. I love diving into an influencer's baby's
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: name because they're never straightforward. So the baby girl is
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: called Andy Bloom Fisher. I really like the name Andy.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I think it's really cute. Andy is spelt with an
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: I at the end. So it's just A-N-D-I. Interestingly, her
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: older sister is called Bobby Marie, which is spelled B-O-B-B-I
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: as well. So people are saying, is this a bit
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: of a branding exercise? If it is, she's nailed it.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: So she's done a Victoria Beckham and she's already secured
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: the rights to their names? Well, potentially. I mean, the
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I's at the end. It's a cute little touch, isn't it? Now,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: the other influencer who shared her baby news this week was,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: of course, Nikki Westcott. So she gave birth to another girl,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: a daughter on Sunday. To me, this is very rare
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: because in our friendship group, everyone is having boys.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. I didn't even think that baby girls existed
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: at this point. It's quite ironic because both of these influencers'
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: girls actually have unisex names as Andy and Nikki has
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: given birth to a Raffa, which I love. I am
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: obsessed with this name. I actually said to Brandon, I
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: love the name Raffa for a boy when we were
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: coming up with names, but I kind of felt like
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I wasn't cool enough. to pull off having a son
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: called Rapha. One of my friends has a son called
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Rapha and it is so cute. I mean, it's probably
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: because we love Raphael Nadal. Well, yeah, that's why. The
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: thing is I like Rapha, but I don't like Raphael.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: So that's why I was like, hmm. Yeah. Now in
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: the lead up to this pregnancy, Nikki did prank her
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: followers with a gender reveal that ended up being a
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Black Friday sale. We spoke about this at the time.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: But she didn't actually find out the gender until the
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: day of the birth.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, really?
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: For some reason, she just had girl vibes over her.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I thought she'd have a girl. Yeah, that's the thing.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Everyone kept guessing that she was going to have a girl.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I think because she's such a girl's girl, everyone said
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: it just made sense for her to have a girl. Now,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: she shared the news in a joint post with her husband,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Ollie Frost, and they shared a selection of photos from
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: the birth with the caption, The night our lives changed forever.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Meeting our baby girl, Rafa Frost. She arrived mermaid style
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: on the 8th of February, weighing 3.78 kilos with a
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: head full of hair. What an honour to be chosen
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: as your parents. It was a really beautiful main photo
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: of the three of them together. Nikki looked stunning. Like
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: giving birth, I was like, how do you look this cool?
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: She's just so fucking cool as well. Like in the last...
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: photo of this photo dump. She was using the iconic
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: hospital baby blanket, you know, the pink and yellow one
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: as a towel for her head. And I just thought,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: why didn't I think of that? That's really cool. What
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: do you mean? Like she'd washed her hair and she
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: washed her hair and wrapped it up in the baby blanket.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. It was really cute to see Lucy
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Jackson's reaction to Rafa being born. So she shared a
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: reel of her meeting Rafa with the caption, it was
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: you all along Rafa, our little party girl. Couldn't be
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: more in awe of Nick. Can't wait to teach you
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: things and watch you grow. So proud to be your auntie.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: That's very cute. Sarah's day has been left shaken after
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: a dispute broke out over the right of way on
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the footpath. The OG fitness influencer was pushing her one-year-old
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: son in a pram when the confrontation unfolded, Amy. Yeah,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Sarah was visibly shaken in this video. So she was
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: just out with her son Harlow and her dog Abby
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: walking to her coffee shop nearby her house. When she
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: was confronted by a woman, let's have a listen to
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: what Sarah said. Two minutes ago.
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: We were just walking down to get a little coffee,
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: a little treat for the park. And I see a
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: lady walking up towards me.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: She has a dog. I have my dog.
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: So I pull Abby as close to me as I can.
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: And I try to make us a little bundle and
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: I move to the left. She somewhat moves to her left,
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: but her dog gets tangled in my dog.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I think nothing of it. I go, oops, sorry.
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: I like kind of pull Abby away and I keep
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: walking and she turns around and yells at me and says,
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: take up the whole path next time. Genuinely, at first
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: I thought she was joking until I turned around to
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: see her face and she was angry. She was stopped
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: in the middle of the path. Like she was ready
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: to battle it out.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: And I said, I have a pram.
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: She was not having it. She was adamant. I was
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: taking up the whole path.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: So the woman ended up calling Sarah an idiot. Sarah
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: said she was shocked and just mustered up the courage
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: to say that the woman should go home and have
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: a coffee and relax. This incident took place just two
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: houses down from her own home. This is horrible. I
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: felt really sorry for Sarah because you're a mum, you're
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: out with your kid and your dog. You don't expect
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: people to be so rude. I mean, it's really hard
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: to manoeuvre a pram and a dog. It's really tough.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: And the fact is, She clearly did move to the
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: side to let this woman through. Even if she didn't,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: who cares? I mean, I'm sorry, if you've got a child,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: like a young baby and a dog, just let it
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: go through. If anything, this woman should have given right
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: of way to Sarah. Well, Sarah said this incident occurred
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: right where some tradies were working and some of them
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: actually yelled at the woman and were like, leave her alone.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: So it shows how intense this argument actually was. It
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: just blows my mind that you would abuse someone that
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: has a pram with a young baby inside. Like what
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: is wrong with this person? Yeah, it would have been
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: one of those moments where your heart just absolutely dropped
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: because in this instance, it sounded like Sarah did absolutely
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: nothing wrong. Like this woman was clearly having a terrible
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: day and Sarah said that she hates confrontation. So like
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: her hands were shaking. Like she was so upset and
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: she said to her TikTok followers, this is a reminder
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: for everyone just to be nice and you don't know
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: what people are going through in their day. Do you
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: reckon that this woman was like, oh, fuck, another influencer.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Get out of the way. You're taking up all the room.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I wonder if Sarah was vlogging at the time or
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: on her phone. When I saw this TikTok, I thought initially, oh,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: has someone just abused Sarah's day on the street? Like,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: is this a hater? I don't even think the woman
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: knew who she was. Gosh, it all sounds very awkward.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: I think that is all we have time for today.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us for this episode. Unfortunately,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Kate could not take part because she was trying to
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: record remotely today and she left her SD card. Back
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: at our studio here. I mean, anytime I'm never in it.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: You guys never explain where I was. I fainted last week.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I've discovered I have really low iron. So I've actually
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: got these supplements. It sounds like I'm advertising something.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I've bought these. Is this something you're bringing out with Tropica? Yeah. No,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: I saw a lot of people recommending beef liver capsules
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: for people who don't eat a lot of meat. And
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: I haven't eaten red meat. I can't even remember the
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: last time I had red meat. It was probably like
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: 30 years ago. Gosh, with that age as me. But
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: And anyway, I'm going to give it a go. I've
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: also got an iron infusion coming up. I think that
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: will make you feel better.
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Well, we didn't mention it because we weren't sure if
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: you wanted everyone to know about it. It's like sort
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: of private medical information. No, well, my blood test came
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: back as being, I think on the ferritin levels, it
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: was six. It's meant to be between 30 and 180.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: So pretty low. Not to be that person and act
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: like I'm a hero, but my iron levels used to
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: be negative something like it was so low that it
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: wasn't even recording and the doctor's like are you okay
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: i was like would you like me to get you
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: some of these captures maybe that would be good well
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: on that note i think that is all we have
• 33:15
