Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the
hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Coming up.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
On today's show, Sarah Kerns begs followers to engage with
her paid promotion. Lily Brown is slammed for shaming a
sex worker for wearing her brand, and Sammy Robinson hits
back it claims she's.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
A serial data But first, Chloe Zep.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Has announced she's launching a new venture under her active web.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Brand, Zep's Umbrella.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
It is called Self Care Culture and it's been touted
as an educational video platform that's designed to inspire movement
and mindfulness practices within.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
The SEP community.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
At first, I was like, ugh, it's just another influencer
bringing out workout videos, and I also thought it sounded
very similar to her previous venture Well Web that absolutely bombed.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
However, there is a big difference.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
So this platform is free, so to access it you
just go onto the ZEP Activewear website and currently there
are two video available to watch, so one is a
ten minute guided mobility session and the other is a
twenty minute guided pilates session. I do think where they've
missed the mark though, is that Chloe isn't actually taking
the session. I do think though, it's a good idea
(01:14):
to give something back for free, because this is a
way that her community are going to buy in. They're
going to start enjoying these free videos, and then ultimately
I'm guessing that she will bring out a paid form
of this. Yeah, I think it's very clear at the
moment that Chloe is being guided by a clever marketing team,
and building a community is absolutely crucial, as you said,
(01:37):
for influencers with brands these days, and there is no
better way to do that than with free content. I
do wonder if she's taken inspiration from Steph Klesmith and
Laura Henshaw's business Kick, because she recently opened up in
a Q and A how she reached out to someone
who she called industry leaders when she was struggling with
her business. She is friends with Steph. Yeah, there was
(01:58):
a lot of speculation at the time as to who
this industry professional was. Many people thought it might have
been Matilda Maray from Starks, but I think you're right, Kate,
it probably was Steph clais Smith.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Now on the.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Topic of Chloe, her mum Shari got married over the
weekend and it was a chance for Chloe and Mitch
to quash breakup rumors, so they shared some very cute
photos of them looking loved up together at the wedding,
as well as a video on the dance floor. Now,
Chloe and her sister Amy were bridesmaids, which I thought
was really cute. However, their third sister, Kate, was a
(02:29):
notable absent tee. So Kate Zepp hasn't posted on her
Instagram account since June twenty twenty three, and the latest
information I could find about her was from a Daily
Mail article written in January twenty twenty four. So in
the article, it said that Kate and her boyfriend Jordan
Roman Brennan were suing the State of Queensland after a
(02:49):
police officer allegedly stole three luxury watches from their townhouse
during a raid. Now, that raid was a part of
an investigation into allegations Jordan assaulted a woman who trod
on Kate's foot at a music festival.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Do you remember that drama?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I do. That seems like it was so long ago.
Well that was actually three years ago now, and the
police officer in question is facing criminal charges over the
alleged theft of the watchers valued at a whopping four
hundred and ten thousand dollars. Now, despite three years passing,
the case against a police officer is yet to be resolved,
(03:26):
so Kate's boyfriend has sued the State of Queensland to
get the watches returned or be compensated for their value
plus legal costs, and the lawyer has now sought to
add Kate as a co claimant with Brennan in that action.
We haven't heard anything since then, so I don't know
if it has been thrown out. So maybe Kate's got
a bit too much going on to rock up for
(03:46):
a mum's wedding. Well, there's something going on. She's gone
completely Mia. You would think you'd be there at your
mum's wedding though definitely it does signal that there must
be some sort of relationship breakdown, which is very sad.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You're one throwing all the Hey, I don't think you've
said a nicest thing about me ever.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Ever, Lily Brown has been slammed for shaming a OnlyFans
creator for wearing her brand. The loungewear owner ended up
deleting her comments, but the damage was already done, so
can you tell us more?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Well?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
The OnlyFans creator in question is Tasha Page, who has
over one hundred and twenty nine thousand followers on Instagram
and late last week, Tasha uploaded a video of her
and her friends wearing white T shirts and pouring jugs
of water over themselves to expose their breasts. And the
T shirts just so happened to be from Lily's brand Chill,
(04:39):
and the name Chill was clearly visible across the girl's
chests in the video. Now, rather than being happy for
the free brand exposure, Lily hit out at Tasha, writing
on the reel this ain't it chicks. She also reposted
a screenshot of Tasha and her friend to her Instagram's
story and wrote what the fuck is going on here?
With three skeletons emojis? She continued, please report this. This
(05:03):
is not a Chill campaign. Now. The backlash was swift.
Women came out in full force to support Tasha in
the comments, causing Lily to delete her original comment and
Instagram story. Someone wrote, Lily Babes, it's twenty twenty four
and being insecure and projecting that onto someone else is
not it, chick, now. That comment got one hundred and
eighty four likes. Another person wrote, Haha, Lily Brown being
(05:27):
served has made my day. She's always giving mean girl energy.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Love this goals.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
That post got one hundred and ninety seven likes, and
another comment read low Lily Brown forgetting she was on
her main and not Berner for bullying women. That comment
got two hundred and nineteen likes. I am just at
a loss to understand why Lily would have brought attention
to this video if she thought it was so off brand.
All she's done is brought attention to the fact that
(05:53):
her comments came across as very slut shaming. I really
thought that she would have been pleased that someone will
one hundred and twenty five thousand followers or whatever it was,
was promoting her brand in this way. It seemed like
quite a fun video that got a lot of traction. Yeah,
it's super strange. I do wonder if there's any merit
to the comments that she thought she was originally in
(06:13):
her burner account. We do know that she has one
because we have been allegedly messaged from.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
It before Robert.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Why would she write that in a burner account anyway?
I think she knew that she was in her name.
I think that she must have been receiving a lot
of direct messages about this video and felt alarmed that
people were thinking this was genuinely a Chill campaign and
she felt like this video didn't reflect her brand properly.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
It's done the complete opposite.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
A lot of the commentary was not to support Chill
because they don't appreciate the slut shaming from Lily Brown.
It is bizarre time in considering that she has just
been announced as a contestant on the celebrity edition of
The Amazing Race. A lot of people would have been
going over to her page and engaging with her off
the back of that news. So she will be appearing
alongside her boyfriend Jack Kenny, and the news does put
(07:01):
into perspective some of what she's been saying recently on
her podcast, because she has been very open about struggling
with money, but then referencing this six week trip to Europe,
so it's quite clear that this six week trip is
for The Amazing Race. In a recent episode, Lily did
open up that she's had moments during the past couple
of years where she just wished that she's stuck at
(07:22):
influencing instead of starting a business because it's just so
difficult and the amount of money that you got from
influencing was far greater and far easier work. Yeah, and
she almost alluded to the fact that she's kind of
seeing how it goes with Chill. She said, she's not
going to shut it down, but I think this amazing
race thing will be very telling. So if she takes
(07:42):
off like Sky Wheatley did on I'm a Celeb and
becomes really popular, maybe she might move back into the
influencing or again use it as elite pad for her
own brand. Well. Jack Kenny is very likable, and I
think that Lily would have some really great funny moments
for TV, maybe facial expressions.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
She is a walking meme.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I think that she's perfect for these types of TV shows.
I do worry about trolling though, or maybe her being
turned into a villain.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Well, In other Lily Brown news, her best friend and
fellow influencer m Davies shared that they're actually on the
hunt for a Perth videographer. So the videographer must have
experience in podcast style filming and long form video and
editing work for a project that they're working on together.
In July, however, em has confirmed that it's not a podcast,
so I wonder what it is. Well, it's weird to
(08:35):
outline that you want podcast style filming and then say
it's not a podcast. I'm wondering if it's for an
online course. M Davies is bringing out a social media course,
so perhaps it's potentially for that.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
As a busy mum of three, I love making our
meal times quick and easy, but ensuring that my growin
boys are being supported with nutritious meals.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Mummy blogger Sarah Kerns has asked the question every influencer
isn't supposed to ask, can you engage with my content?
The influencer created a video as part of a paid
promotion with Big w for Mother's Day and shared it
across her Instagram and Facebook. Now it appears the real
wasn't performing the way she hoped, because she shared a
(09:16):
message essentially begging her followers to engage with the real.
She wrote, Dear Facebook friends, I posted a reel for
a brilliant Mother's Day gift and I would be so
grateful if you would all blow it up with.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Likes and comments.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I was so excited to work with this brand and
I'd love it to do well for them, and I
know you all friends will love the product. I'm going
to send a little Mother's Day gift out to a
random person who comments as a thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
The Real ended up getting six hundred and ninety four likes,
fifty six comments, seventy six send ons, and fifty eight
point six thousand views. It's clear this promise of a
little gift as persuaded a lot of her followers to
jump in and comment and engage with this post. And
I do find it quite interesting that she says that
she wants this post to succeed for the brand. I'm sorry,
(10:01):
but it's clear that she wants this post to succeed
for herself because she wants to come back with that brand.
She wants to tell them how good the engagement is
so that they want to pay her and work with
her again. I can see why The Real didn't organically
perform well.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I feel like we're in a time where influencers just
can't rest on.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Their laurels because it's a very saturated market and content
creators are getting very good at their jobs, and the
idea of Sarah's reel was that she was on this
mission to receive the greatest Mother's Day gift ever, and
she filmed herself in store at bigw reacting very over
the top about quite basic gifts. So it was a
friend's branded loungewear. She then dropped hints to her family
(10:40):
that she wanted the clothing as a gift for Mother's Day,
and in the end, she purchased the gift herself, wrapped
it up, and planted it amongst the array of other
gifts her children had.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Apparently bought her.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Now, if this content popped up in my feet, I
would have immediately scrolled past it. It wasn't shot very well,
it was boring, and it was blatantly and add the
video didn't hit the mark for me. Maybe I'm not
its intended audience, but I think that a better strategy
perhaps could have been to initially offer a giveaway to
her fellow mums that are you know, followers that are watching.
(11:14):
I mean, she said that she'll give a gift to
one person, but maybe she could have tried to get
more engagement by offering a giveaway to begin with. Yeah,
I think this just demonstrates the divide between genuine content
creators and influencers who made it big when social media
first started. So Sarah does list herself as a content
creator in her bio, but for them to beg for
(11:36):
engagement is quite embarrassing, because you should be good enough
at your job that you create something that resonates with
people and that they want to actually engage with it.
I understand it is getting more difficult on Instagram to
get organic engagement, but I think a lot of influencers
are just using that as an excuse at the moment
because they got spoiled back in the day they could
(11:57):
literally upload anything and get a bunch of likes on it.
There is now a lot of competition out there and
the industry is oversaturated, so you've got to be on
top of your game in order for your real to
actually resonate with people and get engagement on it. The
whole thing just came across as really choogy. I do
hate to use that word as a millennial, but even
the music she put over the real it reminded me
(12:19):
of the music that you put over a YouTube video
ten years ago, and I just wonder how big W
would feel seeing her Instagram story begging for engagement, because
if I'm that PR manager or marketing manager, I'm instantly
thinking they're only engaging for the present.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
They actually don't.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
They're not buying into the message that we're putting out
there about Mother's Day. Yeah. Well, the thing is, she
didn't actually put it on her Instagram story. She put
it on her Facebook page. I think she was trying
to conceal it a little bit from the brand.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
It's so deceptive here.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's just a terrible look, not only to her audience,
but as you said, to the brand. And I do
think it is pretty deceptive because it's not like the
brand would have benefited from those people putting fake comments,
just that they would get a gift, and it's clearly
just to bolster her own numbers to report back to
the brand. I also noticed that on the post, she
used the word friends twice and she even capitalized it,
(13:14):
and it seemed like another desperate tactic to guilt her
followers into engaging with her content. She also think it's
because she was trying to promote Big W's range of
friends clothing.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
No, potentially that as well.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I did notice that Sarah disclosed the partnership, but rather
than tagging Big W, she actually tagged a PR company
called Stirling Comms. Again, it seemed a bit deceptive because
while they may have set up the deal with her,
the company that's being promoted is big W.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
So this is what I just like.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I just service talking about dating.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
I don't know what it is. I love talking about dating.
I love talking about it as well, but not with Mike.
But I don't usual.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Sammy Robinson has hit out a claim she's a serial
data the fashion label found and said she's had three
boyfriends in her life, with two relationships just so happening.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
To quickly follow suit.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Sammy opened up about her past relationships on Lily Brown's podcast,
as rumors swell of a new romance with a mystery man.
So what did you think about the interview? OG listeners
will know that I am a huge fan of Sammy Robinson.
I love her content. I think that she is a
quality person and that became clear in this interview. She's
very intelligent, she's very business savvy. But I just couldn't
(14:29):
stand how much Lillly Brown interrupted her. During this interview,
Sammy would start to open up about some interesting health
struggles that she was facing stuff that we've never heard before,
and Lily would flat out just yell as she was speaking,
and then not follow up what she was talking about.
In another instance, Lily was asking Sammy about her relationship
(14:52):
with Jordan Simmy, and Lily interrupted the conversation to say
that it looked like she had a dick in her pants.
I was just like, what is going on. I get
that this whole thing's being filed, maybe you don't want
your pants to be bunching up while she's filming this,
and you think that this is going to be great
on your socials, but it was so jarring to listen to. Yeah,
I think there was a big focus on how it
(15:13):
was going to become across being filmed, because I think
the first ten minutes could have easily been edited out
because it was Lily pouring Sammy bears and shots and
it really didn't translate very well on an audio platform.
I was really surprised to hear that Sammy and Lily
are friends. I didn't realize they couldn't actually remember where
they met, but they seem to catch up every time
(15:36):
that Lily is in Sydney. Because Lily is based in Queensland.
I think the friendship was helpful in some regards and
then unhelpful in others, because as you touched on Sophie,
Lily did interrupt Sammy a lot, and I think it
was because she already knew the information. They discussed stuff
off Mike, so she didn't really have that first to
follow things up. However, I think when it came down
(15:58):
to Sammy talking about her past relationships, it did help
because they've obviously spoken about it before, and she felt
comfortable to share the juicy details about her past relationships.
I loved hearing about Jordan Simmy. OJI listeners will remember
that Jordan made his professional boxing debut in a bid
to win Sammy back. Let's write of some of what
(16:18):
Sammy said about Jordan.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I'm gonna hit you with question. I'm ready Jordan.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Shut no, Okay, he's gonna be I know you're watching
this and you're gonna.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yeah, I have Yeah, I feel like you always have
love for him, but yeah, I have love for.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Him, and honestly, like everything that everything that goes in
on in all of my relationships, I do keep private
because I'm just I don't air dirty laundry. I never
would and I never will, but he he's a funny, great,
go go, lovely guy.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
But we just weren't.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
We just didn't mash it, and we're both very hot,
hot headed, confident.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
You could really tell that Lily was biting her tongue
and wanted to say more about Jordan Simmy. But Sammy
had prefaced early on that she wasn't there to wade
into the weeds and expose what went down, and she
never wants to talk badly about any of her relationships.
While Sammy was a complete class act on this podcast
regarding her relationships, she did preface that a lot had
(17:30):
already come out publicly, So I suppose her saying that
almost confirms that some of the stuff that came out
was true. Yeah, And this was in reference to the
French Toast incident that listeners will remember. So Jordan caused
controversy in late twenty twenty two when he shared a
photo of him getting very cozy in the back of
a car with a stunning French model, who he referred
(17:52):
to in that post as French Toast. They were on
their way to a Halloween party, all dressed up, and
at the time he was still public dating Sammy Robinson.
And it made me so sad to hear Sammy admit
during this interview that she never has genuinely felt safe
and secure in a relationship with any of the guys
that she's been with, even Nick, who she was with
(18:14):
for a very long time, because Nick was a regular
fixture on her YouTube channel. Here's what she said.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
But I also think that you put up with a
lot I do you have as well in the past, Like,
especially with two of your relationships that I'm thinking of,
I think that you've you've definitely put up with.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
A fucking last ship.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
And again, like I both publicly and not yeah and
yeah exactly, and a lot of it has come out
publicly as well, so it's not even again not airing
any dirty laundry and not talking on specifics, but I
think that I probably haven't felt if I'm going to
put it down to like a feeling. Yeah, And this
is what I you know, when you just get stuck
in TikTok and you're constantly scrolling through like what does
(19:00):
real love mean? And it's so heavy, it's that I
don't think I've ever felt like genuinely safe with someone. Again,
not going into specifics, it's like a. It's like I
wouldn't have been able to wholeheartedly marry any of them
based on like the way that things were going.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I was surprised to hear her say this because originally
she said that she had nothing but lovely things to
say about Nick. However, it does appear like this was
about him and also Jordan. She did speak very highly
about her most recent boyfriend. It sounds like they just
broke up because he was a bit too.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Young for Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
It's unclear when this interview was recorded because Sammy mentioned
during it that she was single, and just last week
she did soft launch a new man on TikTok, So
either things have changed quickly or this was prerecorded from
a while ago. Yeah. Well, she did admit that an
offer only takes her one day to fall for a
guy and dive into a relationship.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
So who knows. This is clearly moving quite quickly.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I bet the Bachelor producers are absolutely kicking themselves because
during this interview, she did say that if the show
hadn't been canceled, she would be open to being the
Bachelorette if approach and I feel like this is what
they needed to keep.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
The Bachelor alive. Oh, that would have been so good.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
The talent scouting on The Bachelor is the reason, well
part of the reason for its demise, I feel. Now
on the topic of Sammy's new man, rumors are circulating
that it could be American influencer turned singer Sammy Wilg.
How funny if they're both called Sammy, that would be
very confusing.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
He did make it big.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
On Vine in twenty thirteen and currently has one point
seven million followers on Instagram, and Sammy is one of
those followers. I did not know who he was, so
I did a stalk and I was like, oh, my gosh,
it must be him because he wears a lot of
friendship bracelets, like the one that was spotted in the Mukbug,
the Mexican one. And at the time, so for you
remark that he had an S and a W and
(20:58):
you thought the S stood for Sammy and the W
you stood for like William or something. However, it could
stand for Sammy wilk. The only issue is he is
in the US at the moment on a tour. So
Sammy uploaded that TikTok about a week ago, and I
mean it could have been pretty recorded, but I'm thinking
it's kind of unlikely. Well, especially because they do have
(21:20):
Taco Bell all over America, so if he's American, it's
not really your first impression of Taco Bell either. Well,
I mean that might be a bit pedantic. Sammy was
giving her first impression of it. Maybe he likes it,
but I think that it's a little bit far fetched.
Away from her love life. I was quite surprised to
hear in this interview just how sick Sammy has been
(21:42):
for the last year. She said it was down to
extreme stress from one mile and that her hair even
began falling out.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Here's what she said.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
My adrenal fatigue and my high quartersole last year got
so bad. I had all these blood tests and everything
was shutting down. Like yep, I'm you know, most like
Will haven't ordered me to see something with glandular fever. Yeah,
we're still figuring it all out, but yeah, my kidneys
were going down. I had the kidneys of a seventy
five year old.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
It just shows how much goes on behind the scenes
of these influencers lives that we never know anything about.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Because her life looks so.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Glamorous on Instagram and TikTok and to think that this
has all been going on in the background. Yeah. She
did reveal that she was on eight different types of
antibiotics which caused her to get a leaky gut, So
she is now trialing a gluten free diet. Well that
quickly got ruined during this interview because Lily porter a
beer and then halfway through the interview, Sammy's like, ah,
(22:37):
this has got gluten in it. Well. Sammy also said
that she's been suffering with crippling insomnia and has been
prescribed sleeping medication. So it sounds like she has had
a tough twelve months. Yeah, well it's not ideal, but
it is clear that the hard work is paying off
for her brand one Mile, because she shared that the
brand has gone global into the US and the UK.
(22:58):
And I found it interesting because she said they're not
paying for any promotion, they are gifting products. But I
noticed last week that she shared that Kendall Jenna was
spotted wearing one Mile. That was pretty impressive that she
has gifted her that item and she's actually worn it.
It's quite clear that this has grown into more than
just an influencer side business. One Mile is huge. Sama
(23:20):
revealed that she is opening her first flagship store in
Bondi and she has signed a five year long term lease.
We thought we would test out a new segment on
the show called Highs and Lows of the Week. It
seems to suit a Friday, so I will kick off
with mine. My low of the week has been the
logistics of legally changing my name. So I thought I
(23:44):
was all done with that. Last year I went through
the process to update my passport, my bank account, and
my driver's license with my married name. However, now that
I'm applying for maternity leave, I realized that there were
so many places that I haven't changed my name and
I need to do it asap. So you would think
it would be really easy to update your name on
my GOV considering all the services are connected on there,
(24:07):
I thought, okay, I'll just do it on one and
it will translate across to.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
All the others.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
However, each service you need to go through a different method,
so I had to ring up to update my Medicare
cards separately. I then have to go down to Services
SA to do it in person, and then for the
ATO you could simply do it online.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
It makes no sense.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Yeah, it is ironic that it's women having to run
around changing their names. I think that this process perhaps
would have been streamlined if men had to be changing
their last names or chose to change their last names,
whatever the case may be. Oh, the mental load of it.
I was having a rant to Reac and he's like,
I can come to services essay with you now. My
high of the week is baking. I've been joking that
(24:48):
I'm baking rather than nesting. I just feel this urge
to always be making something nice to eat, probably because
I'm so hungry. So over the week.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
I have made for carture.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I've also made bread and I've been so proud of
it because you know on TikTok when you see it
and I'm like, it's never going to turn out. But
I have found this absolutely incredible recipe and I will
put it in the show notes because it makes you
look really impressive. But it's so easy that we keep
joking that Kate is slowly transforming into this traad wife.
(25:19):
My low of the week has to be my skin.
This has given me a moment to have a winge,
and I think a lot of people can relate that.
When you feel like you've got bad skin, you just
don't feel as confident, You don't want to look people
in the eyes. For the past two months, I've been
suffering with terrible acne. It is slowly starting to get
a little bit better. But that is my grizzle for
(25:41):
the week.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
I think it's getting better.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I mean, it's always annoying when you don't ever want
to jinx it because you're like, oh, my skin's getting better,
but I can't say it. Yeah. I think it has
a lot to do with my stress levels. My stress
levels have been through the roof. And when you reflect
on the year that we've had, I've moved house, I've
got married, We've had hundreds of events. We've gone through
some awful So I am blaming my stress levels and
I need to de stress. And that is my high
(26:04):
for the week because what is helping me destress is
my combustion heater. I have moved into a house in
the hills and my partner and my new favorite activity
is putting a fire on every night, and we have
been watching Maybe this is contentious, but we have been
watching Jeremy Clarkson's Farm. What is that show? Because I
heard Dad talking about that like two years ago. No
(26:26):
it's just relaxing. It's literally Jeremy Clarkson, who is a
controversial journal he has bought a farm to get away
from everything, and he doesn't know how to do anything
on this farm. He has this farmer, this twenty year
old farmer guy who basically is showing him the ropes
and gets so frustrated and angry at him. Is one
of those shows you can unwind to if you're feeling stressed.
(26:48):
I think it's good to put on one of those
mindless shows. Is it good to watch with a partner,
because yes, that is the trickiest thing to find a
Netflix show that everyone is going to enjoy it. Yeah, definitely,
I would recommend watching with your partner. I'm also watching
Something to Bond with my dad about because my dad
loves Jeremy Clarkson. Well, I think that's where we'll leave
things today. If you do want to hear more content
(27:10):
from us, we did drop a subscriber episode yesterday where
we touched on a bunch of influencer topics, including Mitch
Orville saying that he was proud to be an anti vaxer,
Jade Twinci's brutally honest relationship story, and Olivia Rodgers becoming
a repeat wedding guest dress offender. This podcast was recorded
on the traditional land of the Ghana people of the
(27:31):
Adelaide Plains. We pay respect to elders past and present.
Hello and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the
hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Coming up.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
On today's show, Sarah Kerns begs followers to engage with
her paid promotion. Lily Brown is slammed for shaming a
sex worker for wearing her brand, and Sammy Robinson hits
back it claims she's.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
A serial data But first, Chloe Zep.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Has announced she's launching a new venture under her active web.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Brand, Zep's Umbrella.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
It is called Self Care Culture and it's been touted
as an educational video platform that's designed to inspire movement
and mindfulness practices within.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
The SEP community.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
At first, I was like, ugh, it's just another influencer
bringing out workout videos, and I also thought it sounded
very similar to her previous venture Well Web that absolutely bombed.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
However, there is a big difference.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
So this platform is free, so to access it you
just go onto the ZEP Activewear website and currently there
are two video available to watch, so one is a
ten minute guided mobility session and the other is a
twenty minute guided pilates session. I do think where they've
missed the mark though, is that Chloe isn't actually taking
the session. I do think though, it's a good idea
(01:14):
to give something back for free, because this is a
way that her community are going to buy in. They're
going to start enjoying these free videos, and then ultimately
I'm guessing that she will bring out a paid form
of this. Yeah, I think it's very clear at the
moment that Chloe is being guided by a clever marketing team,
and building a community is absolutely crucial, as you said,
(01:37):
for influencers with brands these days, and there is no
better way to do that than with free content. I
do wonder if she's taken inspiration from Steph Klesmith and
Laura Henshaw's business Kick, because she recently opened up in
a Q and A how she reached out to someone
who she called industry leaders when she was struggling with
her business. She is friends with Steph. Yeah, there was
(01:58):
a lot of speculation at the time as to who
this industry professional was. Many people thought it might have
been Matilda Maray from Starks, but I think you're right, Kate,
it probably was Steph clais Smith.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Now on the.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Topic of Chloe, her mum Shari got married over the
weekend and it was a chance for Chloe and Mitch
to quash breakup rumors, so they shared some very cute
photos of them looking loved up together at the wedding,
as well as a video on the dance floor. Now,
Chloe and her sister Amy were bridesmaids, which I thought
was really cute. However, their third sister, Kate, was a
(02:29):
notable absent tee. So Kate Zepp hasn't posted on her
Instagram account since June twenty twenty three, and the latest
information I could find about her was from a Daily
Mail article written in January twenty twenty four. So in
the article, it said that Kate and her boyfriend Jordan
Roman Brennan were suing the State of Queensland after a
(02:49):
police officer allegedly stole three luxury watches from their townhouse
during a raid. Now, that raid was a part of
an investigation into allegations Jordan assaulted a woman who trod
on Kate's foot at a music festival.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Do you remember that drama?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I do. That seems like it was so long ago.
Well that was actually three years ago now, and the
police officer in question is facing criminal charges over the
alleged theft of the watchers valued at a whopping four
hundred and ten thousand dollars. Now, despite three years passing,
the case against a police officer is yet to be resolved,
(03:26):
so Kate's boyfriend has sued the State of Queensland to
get the watches returned or be compensated for their value
plus legal costs, and the lawyer has now sought to
add Kate as a co claimant with Brennan in that action.
We haven't heard anything since then, so I don't know
if it has been thrown out. So maybe Kate's got
a bit too much going on to rock up for
(03:46):
a mum's wedding. Well, there's something going on. She's gone
completely Mia. You would think you'd be there at your
mum's wedding though definitely it does signal that there must
be some sort of relationship breakdown, which is very sad.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You're one throwing all the Hey, I don't think you've
said a nicest thing about me ever.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Ever, Lily Brown has been slammed for shaming a OnlyFans
creator for wearing her brand. The loungewear owner ended up
deleting her comments, but the damage was already done, so
can you tell us more?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Well?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
The OnlyFans creator in question is Tasha Page, who has
over one hundred and twenty nine thousand followers on Instagram
and late last week, Tasha uploaded a video of her
and her friends wearing white T shirts and pouring jugs
of water over themselves to expose their breasts. And the
T shirts just so happened to be from Lily's brand Chill,
(04:39):
and the name Chill was clearly visible across the girl's
chests in the video. Now, rather than being happy for
the free brand exposure, Lily hit out at Tasha, writing
on the reel this ain't it chicks. She also reposted
a screenshot of Tasha and her friend to her Instagram's
story and wrote what the fuck is going on here?
With three skeletons emojis? She continued, please report this. This
(05:03):
is not a Chill campaign. Now. The backlash was swift.
Women came out in full force to support Tasha in
the comments, causing Lily to delete her original comment and
Instagram story. Someone wrote, Lily Babes, it's twenty twenty four
and being insecure and projecting that onto someone else is
not it, chick, now. That comment got one hundred and
eighty four likes. Another person wrote, Haha, Lily Brown being
(05:27):
served has made my day. She's always giving mean girl energy.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Love this goals.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
That post got one hundred and ninety seven likes, and
another comment read low Lily Brown forgetting she was on
her main and not Berner for bullying women. That comment
got two hundred and nineteen likes. I am just at
a loss to understand why Lily would have brought attention
to this video if she thought it was so off brand.
All she's done is brought attention to the fact that
(05:53):
her comments came across as very slut shaming. I really
thought that she would have been pleased that someone will
one hundred and twenty five thousand followers or whatever it was,
was promoting her brand in this way. It seemed like
quite a fun video that got a lot of traction. Yeah,
it's super strange. I do wonder if there's any merit
to the comments that she thought she was originally in
(06:13):
her burner account. We do know that she has one
because we have been allegedly messaged from.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
It before Robert.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Why would she write that in a burner account anyway?
I think she knew that she was in her name.
I think that she must have been receiving a lot
of direct messages about this video and felt alarmed that
people were thinking this was genuinely a Chill campaign and
she felt like this video didn't reflect her brand properly.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
It's done the complete opposite.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
A lot of the commentary was not to support Chill
because they don't appreciate the slut shaming from Lily Brown.
It is bizarre time in considering that she has just
been announced as a contestant on the celebrity edition of
The Amazing Race. A lot of people would have been
going over to her page and engaging with her off
the back of that news. So she will be appearing
alongside her boyfriend Jack Kenny, and the news does put
(07:01):
into perspective some of what she's been saying recently on
her podcast, because she has been very open about struggling
with money, but then referencing this six week trip to Europe,
so it's quite clear that this six week trip is
for The Amazing Race. In a recent episode, Lily did
open up that she's had moments during the past couple
of years where she just wished that she's stuck at
(07:22):
influencing instead of starting a business because it's just so
difficult and the amount of money that you got from
influencing was far greater and far easier work. Yeah, and
she almost alluded to the fact that she's kind of
seeing how it goes with Chill. She said, she's not
going to shut it down, but I think this amazing
race thing will be very telling. So if she takes
(07:42):
off like Sky Wheatley did on I'm a Celeb and
becomes really popular, maybe she might move back into the
influencing or again use it as elite pad for her
own brand. Well. Jack Kenny is very likable, and I
think that Lily would have some really great funny moments
for TV, maybe facial expressions.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
She is a walking meme.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I think that she's perfect for these types of TV shows.
I do worry about trolling though, or maybe her being
turned into a villain.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Well, In other Lily Brown news, her best friend and
fellow influencer m Davies shared that they're actually on the
hunt for a Perth videographer. So the videographer must have
experience in podcast style filming and long form video and
editing work for a project that they're working on together.
In July, however, em has confirmed that it's not a podcast,
so I wonder what it is. Well, it's weird to
(08:35):
outline that you want podcast style filming and then say
it's not a podcast. I'm wondering if it's for an
online course. M Davies is bringing out a social media course,
so perhaps it's potentially for that.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
As a busy mum of three, I love making our
meal times quick and easy, but ensuring that my growin
boys are being supported with nutritious meals.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Mummy blogger Sarah Kerns has asked the question every influencer
isn't supposed to ask, can you engage with my content?
The influencer created a video as part of a paid
promotion with Big w for Mother's Day and shared it
across her Instagram and Facebook. Now it appears the real
wasn't performing the way she hoped, because she shared a
(09:16):
message essentially begging her followers to engage with the real.
She wrote, Dear Facebook friends, I posted a reel for
a brilliant Mother's Day gift and I would be so
grateful if you would all blow it up with.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Likes and comments.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I was so excited to work with this brand and
I'd love it to do well for them, and I
know you all friends will love the product. I'm going
to send a little Mother's Day gift out to a
random person who comments as a thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
The Real ended up getting six hundred and ninety four likes,
fifty six comments, seventy six send ons, and fifty eight
point six thousand views. It's clear this promise of a
little gift as persuaded a lot of her followers to
jump in and comment and engage with this post. And
I do find it quite interesting that she says that
she wants this post to succeed for the brand. I'm sorry,
(10:01):
but it's clear that she wants this post to succeed
for herself because she wants to come back with that brand.
She wants to tell them how good the engagement is
so that they want to pay her and work with
her again. I can see why The Real didn't organically
perform well.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I feel like we're in a time where influencers just
can't rest on.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Their laurels because it's a very saturated market and content
creators are getting very good at their jobs, and the
idea of Sarah's reel was that she was on this
mission to receive the greatest Mother's Day gift ever, and
she filmed herself in store at bigw reacting very over
the top about quite basic gifts. So it was a
friend's branded loungewear. She then dropped hints to her family
(10:40):
that she wanted the clothing as a gift for Mother's Day,
and in the end, she purchased the gift herself, wrapped
it up, and planted it amongst the array of other
gifts her children had.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Apparently bought her.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Now, if this content popped up in my feet, I
would have immediately scrolled past it. It wasn't shot very well,
it was boring, and it was blatantly and add the
video didn't hit the mark for me. Maybe I'm not
its intended audience, but I think that a better strategy
perhaps could have been to initially offer a giveaway to
her fellow mums that are you know, followers that are watching.
(11:14):
I mean, she said that she'll give a gift to
one person, but maybe she could have tried to get
more engagement by offering a giveaway to begin with. Yeah,
I think this just demonstrates the divide between genuine content
creators and influencers who made it big when social media
first started. So Sarah does list herself as a content
creator in her bio, but for them to beg for
(11:36):
engagement is quite embarrassing, because you should be good enough
at your job that you create something that resonates with
people and that they want to actually engage with it.
I understand it is getting more difficult on Instagram to
get organic engagement, but I think a lot of influencers
are just using that as an excuse at the moment
because they got spoiled back in the day they could
(11:57):
literally upload anything and get a bunch of likes on it.
There is now a lot of competition out there and
the industry is oversaturated, so you've got to be on
top of your game in order for your real to
actually resonate with people and get engagement on it. The
whole thing just came across as really choogy. I do
hate to use that word as a millennial, but even
the music she put over the real it reminded me
(12:19):
of the music that you put over a YouTube video
ten years ago, and I just wonder how big W
would feel seeing her Instagram story begging for engagement, because
if I'm that PR manager or marketing manager, I'm instantly
thinking they're only engaging for the present.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
They actually don't.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
They're not buying into the message that we're putting out
there about Mother's Day. Yeah. Well, the thing is, she
didn't actually put it on her Instagram story. She put
it on her Facebook page. I think she was trying
to conceal it a little bit from the brand.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
It's so deceptive here.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's just a terrible look, not only to her audience,
but as you said, to the brand. And I do
think it is pretty deceptive because it's not like the
brand would have benefited from those people putting fake comments,
just that they would get a gift, and it's clearly
just to bolster her own numbers to report back to
the brand. I also noticed that on the post, she
used the word friends twice and she even capitalized it,
(13:14):
and it seemed like another desperate tactic to guilt her
followers into engaging with her content. She also think it's
because she was trying to promote Big W's range of
friends clothing.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
No, potentially that as well.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I did notice that Sarah disclosed the partnership, but rather
than tagging Big W, she actually tagged a PR company
called Stirling Comms. Again, it seemed a bit deceptive because
while they may have set up the deal with her,
the company that's being promoted is big W.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
So this is what I just like.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I just service talking about dating.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
I don't know what it is. I love talking about dating.
I love talking about it as well, but not with Mike.
But I don't usual.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Sammy Robinson has hit out a claim she's a serial
data the fashion label found and said she's had three
boyfriends in her life, with two relationships just so happening.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
To quickly follow suit.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Sammy opened up about her past relationships on Lily Brown's podcast,
as rumors swell of a new romance with a mystery man.
So what did you think about the interview? OG listeners
will know that I am a huge fan of Sammy Robinson.
I love her content. I think that she is a
quality person and that became clear in this interview. She's
very intelligent, she's very business savvy. But I just couldn't
(14:29):
stand how much Lillly Brown interrupted her. During this interview,
Sammy would start to open up about some interesting health
struggles that she was facing stuff that we've never heard before,
and Lily would flat out just yell as she was speaking,
and then not follow up what she was talking about.
In another instance, Lily was asking Sammy about her relationship
(14:52):
with Jordan Simmy, and Lily interrupted the conversation to say
that it looked like she had a dick in her pants.
I was just like, what is going on. I get
that this whole thing's being filed, maybe you don't want
your pants to be bunching up while she's filming this,
and you think that this is going to be great
on your socials, but it was so jarring to listen to. Yeah,
I think there was a big focus on how it
(15:13):
was going to become across being filmed, because I think
the first ten minutes could have easily been edited out
because it was Lily pouring Sammy bears and shots and
it really didn't translate very well on an audio platform.
I was really surprised to hear that Sammy and Lily
are friends. I didn't realize they couldn't actually remember where
they met, but they seem to catch up every time
(15:36):
that Lily is in Sydney. Because Lily is based in Queensland.
I think the friendship was helpful in some regards and
then unhelpful in others, because as you touched on Sophie,
Lily did interrupt Sammy a lot, and I think it
was because she already knew the information. They discussed stuff
off Mike, so she didn't really have that first to
follow things up. However, I think when it came down
(15:58):
to Sammy talking about her past relationships, it did help
because they've obviously spoken about it before, and she felt
comfortable to share the juicy details about her past relationships.
I loved hearing about Jordan Simmy. OJI listeners will remember
that Jordan made his professional boxing debut in a bid
to win Sammy back. Let's write of some of what
(16:18):
Sammy said about Jordan.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I'm gonna hit you with question. I'm ready Jordan.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Shut no, Okay, he's gonna be I know you're watching
this and you're gonna.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yeah, I have Yeah, I feel like you always have
love for him, but yeah, I have love for.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Him, and honestly, like everything that everything that goes in
on in all of my relationships, I do keep private
because I'm just I don't air dirty laundry. I never
would and I never will, but he he's a funny, great,
go go, lovely guy.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
But we just weren't.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
We just didn't mash it, and we're both very hot,
hot headed, confident.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
You could really tell that Lily was biting her tongue
and wanted to say more about Jordan Simmy. But Sammy
had prefaced early on that she wasn't there to wade
into the weeds and expose what went down, and she
never wants to talk badly about any of her relationships.
While Sammy was a complete class act on this podcast
regarding her relationships, she did preface that a lot had
(17:30):
already come out publicly, So I suppose her saying that
almost confirms that some of the stuff that came out
was true. Yeah, And this was in reference to the
French Toast incident that listeners will remember. So Jordan caused
controversy in late twenty twenty two when he shared a
photo of him getting very cozy in the back of
a car with a stunning French model, who he referred
(17:52):
to in that post as French Toast. They were on
their way to a Halloween party, all dressed up, and
at the time he was still public dating Sammy Robinson.
And it made me so sad to hear Sammy admit
during this interview that she never has genuinely felt safe
and secure in a relationship with any of the guys
that she's been with, even Nick, who she was with
(18:14):
for a very long time, because Nick was a regular
fixture on her YouTube channel. Here's what she said.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
But I also think that you put up with a
lot I do you have as well in the past, Like,
especially with two of your relationships that I'm thinking of,
I think that you've you've definitely put up with.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
A fucking last ship.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
And again, like I both publicly and not yeah and
yeah exactly, and a lot of it has come out
publicly as well, so it's not even again not airing
any dirty laundry and not talking on specifics, but I
think that I probably haven't felt if I'm going to
put it down to like a feeling. Yeah, And this
is what I you know, when you just get stuck
in TikTok and you're constantly scrolling through like what does
(19:00):
real love mean? And it's so heavy, it's that I
don't think I've ever felt like genuinely safe with someone. Again,
not going into specifics, it's like a. It's like I
wouldn't have been able to wholeheartedly marry any of them
based on like the way that things were going.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I was surprised to hear her say this because originally
she said that she had nothing but lovely things to
say about Nick. However, it does appear like this was
about him and also Jordan. She did speak very highly
about her most recent boyfriend. It sounds like they just
broke up because he was a bit too.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Young for Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
It's unclear when this interview was recorded because Sammy mentioned
during it that she was single, and just last week
she did soft launch a new man on TikTok, So
either things have changed quickly or this was prerecorded from
a while ago. Yeah. Well, she did admit that an
offer only takes her one day to fall for a
guy and dive into a relationship.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
So who knows. This is clearly moving quite quickly.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I bet the Bachelor producers are absolutely kicking themselves because
during this interview, she did say that if the show
hadn't been canceled, she would be open to being the
Bachelorette if approach and I feel like this is what
they needed to keep.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
The Bachelor alive. Oh, that would have been so good.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
The talent scouting on The Bachelor is the reason, well
part of the reason for its demise, I feel. Now
on the topic of Sammy's new man, rumors are circulating
that it could be American influencer turned singer Sammy Wilg.
How funny if they're both called Sammy, that would be
very confusing.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
He did make it big.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
On Vine in twenty thirteen and currently has one point
seven million followers on Instagram, and Sammy is one of
those followers. I did not know who he was, so
I did a stalk and I was like, oh, my gosh,
it must be him because he wears a lot of
friendship bracelets, like the one that was spotted in the Mukbug,
the Mexican one. And at the time, so for you
remark that he had an S and a W and
(20:58):
you thought the S stood for Sammy and the W
you stood for like William or something. However, it could
stand for Sammy wilk. The only issue is he is
in the US at the moment on a tour. So
Sammy uploaded that TikTok about a week ago, and I
mean it could have been pretty recorded, but I'm thinking
it's kind of unlikely. Well, especially because they do have
(21:20):
Taco Bell all over America, so if he's American, it's
not really your first impression of Taco Bell either. Well,
I mean that might be a bit pedantic. Sammy was
giving her first impression of it. Maybe he likes it,
but I think that it's a little bit far fetched.
Away from her love life. I was quite surprised to
hear in this interview just how sick Sammy has been
(21:42):
for the last year. She said it was down to
extreme stress from one mile and that her hair even
began falling out.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Here's what she said.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
My adrenal fatigue and my high quartersole last year got
so bad. I had all these blood tests and everything
was shutting down. Like yep, I'm you know, most like
Will haven't ordered me to see something with glandular fever. Yeah,
we're still figuring it all out, but yeah, my kidneys
were going down. I had the kidneys of a seventy
five year old.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
It just shows how much goes on behind the scenes
of these influencers lives that we never know anything about.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Because her life looks so.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Glamorous on Instagram and TikTok and to think that this
has all been going on in the background. Yeah. She
did reveal that she was on eight different types of
antibiotics which caused her to get a leaky gut, So
she is now trialing a gluten free diet. Well that
quickly got ruined during this interview because Lily porter a
beer and then halfway through the interview, Sammy's like, ah,
(22:37):
this has got gluten in it. Well. Sammy also said
that she's been suffering with crippling insomnia and has been
prescribed sleeping medication. So it sounds like she has had
a tough twelve months. Yeah, well it's not ideal, but
it is clear that the hard work is paying off
for her brand one Mile, because she shared that the
brand has gone global into the US and the UK.
(22:58):
And I found it interesting because she said they're not
paying for any promotion, they are gifting products. But I
noticed last week that she shared that Kendall Jenna was
spotted wearing one Mile. That was pretty impressive that she
has gifted her that item and she's actually worn it.
It's quite clear that this has grown into more than
just an influencer side business. One Mile is huge. Sama
(23:20):
revealed that she is opening her first flagship store in
Bondi and she has signed a five year long term lease.
We thought we would test out a new segment on
the show called Highs and Lows of the Week. It
seems to suit a Friday, so I will kick off
with mine. My low of the week has been the
logistics of legally changing my name. So I thought I
(23:44):
was all done with that. Last year I went through
the process to update my passport, my bank account, and
my driver's license with my married name. However, now that
I'm applying for maternity leave, I realized that there were
so many places that I haven't changed my name and
I need to do it asap. So you would think
it would be really easy to update your name on
my GOV considering all the services are connected on there,
(24:07):
I thought, okay, I'll just do it on one and
it will translate across to.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
All the others.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
However, each service you need to go through a different method,
so I had to ring up to update my Medicare
cards separately. I then have to go down to Services
SA to do it in person, and then for the
ATO you could simply do it online.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
It makes no sense.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Yeah, it is ironic that it's women having to run
around changing their names. I think that this process perhaps
would have been streamlined if men had to be changing
their last names or chose to change their last names,
whatever the case may be. Oh, the mental load of it.
I was having a rant to Reac and he's like,
I can come to services essay with you now. My
high of the week is baking. I've been joking that
(24:48):
I'm baking rather than nesting. I just feel this urge
to always be making something nice to eat, probably because
I'm so hungry. So over the week.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
I have made for carture.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I've also made bread and I've been so proud of
it because you know on TikTok when you see it
and I'm like, it's never going to turn out. But
I have found this absolutely incredible recipe and I will
put it in the show notes because it makes you
look really impressive. But it's so easy that we keep
joking that Kate is slowly transforming into this traad wife.
(25:19):
My low of the week has to be my skin.
This has given me a moment to have a winge,
and I think a lot of people can relate that.
When you feel like you've got bad skin, you just
don't feel as confident, You don't want to look people
in the eyes. For the past two months, I've been
suffering with terrible acne. It is slowly starting to get
a little bit better. But that is my grizzle for
(25:41):
the week.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
I think it's getting better.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I mean, it's always annoying when you don't ever want
to jinx it because you're like, oh, my skin's getting better,
but I can't say it. Yeah. I think it has
a lot to do with my stress levels. My stress
levels have been through the roof. And when you reflect
on the year that we've had, I've moved house, I've
got married, We've had hundreds of events. We've gone through
some awful So I am blaming my stress levels and
I need to de stress. And that is my high
(26:04):
for the week because what is helping me destress is
my combustion heater. I have moved into a house in
the hills and my partner and my new favorite activity
is putting a fire on every night, and we have
been watching Maybe this is contentious, but we have been
watching Jeremy Clarkson's Farm. What is that show? Because I
heard Dad talking about that like two years ago. No
(26:26):
it's just relaxing. It's literally Jeremy Clarkson, who is a
controversial journal he has bought a farm to get away
from everything, and he doesn't know how to do anything
on this farm. He has this farmer, this twenty year
old farmer guy who basically is showing him the ropes
and gets so frustrated and angry at him. Is one
of those shows you can unwind to if you're feeling stressed.
(26:48):
I think it's good to put on one of those
mindless shows. Is it good to watch with a partner,
because yes, that is the trickiest thing to find a
Netflix show that everyone is going to enjoy it. Yeah, definitely,
I would recommend watching with your partner. I'm also watching
Something to Bond with my dad about because my dad
loves Jeremy Clarkson. Well, I think that's where we'll leave
things today. If you do want to hear more content
(27:10):
from us, we did drop a subscriber episode yesterday where
we touched on a bunch of influencer topics, including Mitch
Orville saying that he was proud to be an anti vaxer,
Jade Twinci's brutally honest relationship story, and Olivia Rodgers becoming
a repeat wedding guest dress offender. This podcast was recorded
on the traditional land of the Ghana people of the
(27:31):
Adelaide Plains. We pay respect to elders past and present.
