Jacquie Alexander and Gabi Sullivan’s Friendship Fallout
Episode Transcript
Hello, and welcome to Outspoken.
It's your dose of the hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week.
I'm Kate Torbert and coming up on today's show, Gabby Sullivan accuses Jackie Alexander of ruining her wedding.
Things heat up between Tammy Hembro and Bailey Smith, and Kurt Tills squashes hair transplant rumors.
But first, Sophie, you are finally back after twelve weeks away on maternity leave.
Speaker 2I'm so excited.
Speaker 1I was hoping though, when I returned that I wouldn't be as sleep deprived as I currently am.
Brandon and I are still doing our overnight feeds because our son, Luca, he's.
Speaker 2A little bit on the smaller side.
Speaker 1He's actually in the two percent for wait, so we are having to keep up those feeds until he's five a kilogram.
So literally every night that I do a late night feed, I get him in this bath that we have and I weigh him because it is my little light at the end of the tunnel.
And last night he weighed four point nine to eight.
So I'm like, is it on tonight?
Well, I get a sleep tonight very close.
I mean also you're assuming that he then doesn't wake.
Speaker 2Up for that feet.
Speaker 1I think I'm just a bit diluted at the moment with this sleep deprivation.
Speaker 2But it's we're getting there.
We're getting there.
Speaker 1Yeah.
And I felt for you so because just as you went on attorney leave, you missed out on all these massive pop culture stories that happened.
Of course, Tammy Hembro announced her divorce.
I think it was literally a week after you went on attorney leave.
It's like she knew I was going on leave.
I was so disappointed not to be involved.
I loved your take on it, though, and the Deep Dive series that was very good timing that.
Speaker 2That all come existed at the same time.
Speaker 1That helped me get through some of those early weeks of having a newborn.
Well.
I lied a little bit in the intro SOVI because I said it was your first day back of maternity leave.
But we managed to get you out of the house on Thursday, all three of us back together to do a photo shoot for a secret project that we have come Oh, it was so much fun.
I felt like a kid sneaking out of the house.
My parents in law were over, and also my husband was looking after Luca and it was just so nice.
We want and got our makeup.
I felt put together.
We did a bit of a photo shoot.
We even got some sneaking McDonald's on the way home.
It was a big day, but a fun day.
And I heard you teasing about this new project on Friday Show and I thought, Okay and Amy, who do you guys think you are?
I know, being on the other side of it, though, it is kind of fun to drop some cold Well, we.
Speaker 2Need a new clue.
What's one of the clues.
Speaker 1Look, I'm not gonna be put on the spot.
If I'm going to drop easter eggs, it's going to be like a Taylor Swift Easter egg where it's really clever on our social media.
Maybe, yeah, maybe we'll have to come up with something.
Well.
I do have a bit of an exciting update regarding Outspoken Plus.
So we have had our subscription channel I think for over two.
Speaker 2Years now wow.
Speaker 1And originally when we set it up, due to our podcast distribute it we could only get it on Apple Podcasts, and then we could also offer on Patreon, and then I managed to set up a separate Spotify feet and it was a bit complicated to get on there wasn't it.
Yeah, it was just an extra step, and the subs episodes don't show up in the regular feed on Spotify, so it was a bit of a headache.
So I'm now happy to report that Outspoken Plus is available through Outspoken's regular Spotify feed, So if that has been putting you off from subscribing, it's a lot easier now.
We'll also keep our other Spotify feed going with Outspoken Plus on it because we do have subscribers on there.
I don't want to make it too complicated for anyone.
Look, I'm a bit lost, I'm a bit technically challenged, but I think it is the perfect time to sign up because Outspoken Plus is basically an extended version of our current show, so we have a bit more of an unfiltered chat about influencers and influencer events.
Speaker 2And I think I enjoyed those episodes so much.
Speaker 1I particularly enjoyed them over the break listening to them because I was laughing along, particularly to last week subs where you guys chatted about Saffron Barker's boyfriend and his protein farts.
Just keeping all the high brass up for the subscribers.
Speaker 2This soun's scary.
It's a juicy mm.
Okay, my lips are DRYMS care?
Speaker 3How to deal with a friendship fallout?
Speaker 1Did you guys have a friendship fallout?
Yes.
Jackie Alexander has hit back at claims that she ruined Gabby Sullivan's wedding.
Jackie was forced to defend herself after her former bestie claim she got drunk and made her cry at her own wedding.
Before we get into the drama, so can you give us some background on Jackie and Gabby?
Yeah, I want to get us acquainted with all of the main players.
First, We've got Jackie Alexander and she is a thirty three year old fashion and lifestyle influencer who has over five hundred thousand TikTok followers.
She is also the co founder of a fashion label as well as a reusable coffee cup business.
I have a big soft spot for Jackie.
I discovered her content when she was hitting back at people being ages towards her and wanting to be an influencer and have fashion content as someone in their thirties.
How dare a thirty year old want to create content?
I'm a big fan of her now, Jackie got engaged in August last year, and she likes a joke that she's a bit of a wag because her fiance is an Olympian.
He's called Nathan, He's a hockey player.
So I really enjoyed a lot of her content when the Olympics were on.
We got a real behind the scenes view at what it was like as the girlfriend or wife of an Olympian.
Then we've got Gabby Sullivan now.
She is a thirty one year old model and influencer who owns a sportswear brand.
Now, she has three hundred and twenty two thousand followers on TikTok, and Gabby married her longtime partner, Chad Cross in November last year.
Now, in terms of their friendship, the pair became friends during the pandemic when Jackie moved from Melbourne to Gabby's hometown of Perth, and it seemed like Jackie was somewhat of a fan of Gabby before they met, because she admitted that she followed Gabby on social media for years, and with both of them being influencers, Gabby was also familiar with Jackie and she suggested that they catch up when she found out she was moving to Perth, and it turns out they finally met when Jackie asked Gabby to shoot for her fashion brand, and she later admitted it was a dream come true for her.
From there, they clicked instantly and became best friends.
That seems to be a bit of the norm in the influencer world.
I feel like a lot of micro influencers watch bigger influences from afar, then when they suddenly gain more of a following, they then reach out and befriend them.
Yeah.
I mean, I think they were similar standings in the influencing industry at that time.
But as an up and coming influence you're always going to follow other big influences and have that sort of fan girl moment with them, aren't you.
And you're also going to have a lot in common because you like doing the same thing creating content.
Now, it's not the first time that the pair have had a friendship fallout.
So in May last year, Jackie interviewed Gabby on her podcast and they spoke about a fight they had that broke up their friendship for eight months.
I found this episode so fascinating to listen to, particularly at this point when we know there's another argument.
Speaker 2Going on Now.
Speaker 1They didn't go into the specifics of what happened this time.
They just said that something came between them that they should have communicated better about.
And they said that the communication following the incident made things even worse.
Apparently it got so bad that they would still go to the same gym but ignore each other.
Speaker 2That is so awkward.
Speaker 1Yeah, and their partners got so sick of it that they said, can you just text each other and catch up?
Or does this remind me of something that the three of us would do?
But I think it's slightly different when your sisters.
Like the other night, we had a Father's Day dinner and you were telling your husband Reese that no, well.
Speaker 2Brandon, I can't remember who, but you were telling.
Speaker 1Someone that I unfriended you on Facebook and then blocked you and deleted you, up everything just for a reaction.
Oh this was years ago, though, this wasn't recently.
No, not recently, not recently.
But I think it's something petty that you do.
I think when your sisters, you can kind of get away with it.
But I think when your friends, this really damages the core of the friendship.
Doesn't say yeah, well, when I listened to the podcast, they definitely had a sister dynamic, like they didn't mind giving it back to each other.
Speaker 2Okay, it turns out.
Speaker 1That Jackie actually blocked Gabby on her stories because she said she operates under this sort of out of sight, out of mind thing, whereas Gabby said that she was more toxic and likes to quote, know what this bitch is.
Speaker 2Doo, that's me.
I could never do the block.
I want to know what your I.
Speaker 1Don't want to say enemy, but what your old friend is up to.
It's kind of like a relationship.
I never was the sort of person when I got broken up with someone that would be able to just block them and ignore.
I just had to keep up with their life.
What they're doing too much?
I think, yeah, too much to my own detriment sometimes.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Well, during this eight month radio silence between the pair, Gabby actually got engaged to her long time partner and Jackie.
Speaker 2Didn't reach out.
Wow.
Speaker 1They ended up reconnecting at a brand event, so this brand didn't know that they were arguing and invited both of them.
Speaker 2Wow.
Speaker 1I'm so surprised that they were able to rekindle a friendship after all of that.
I mean, I know it hasn't ended well well.
Speaker 2They admitted on.
Speaker 1This podcast that they'd had three smaller fights since that big one.
So one of the arguments took place on the final day of Australian Fashion Week, so they were staying together in Sydney and they were meant to be looking at wedding dresses for Gabby on the last day of the trip.
Speaker 2However, they said.
Speaker 1They ended up having an argument over whether a pub is called a pub.
Speaker 2But throw to some of what they.
Speaker 3Said, angry you were hanging you on your period and when Jackie's on her period, fucked me.
Sorry, Nathan, Oh, I'm a cow.
Speaker 2It's actually a move.
Speaker 3Yeah, but like no, and I think I was just like I just snapped and I shouldn't have called your cow, but I just told you it.
Speaker 2I get it because I become like really annoying, and.
Speaker 3I was like, can you just not ruin this day for me of being an absolute cow?
Speaker 1Like I'm taking for he's about this pub thing.
Speaker 2What else can a pub be known as?
Speaker 1Well?
Speaker 2I don't really know.
Speaker 1Maybe maybe it's a Melbourne verse Perth thing because Jackie's from Melbourne.
Oh it's funny because I can actually imagine us getting in a heated argument about the pronunciation of something or whether the word is right for something like this.
Well, it turns out they also had another fight at the start of twenty twenty four, and that was in front of their mutual friend Lucia, who was visiting Perth the time.
So they took her on this trip to Rottness, Ireland and they had this massive blow up on the ferry in front of an older couple.
They said they were really going ham at each other and they had to actually apologize to the couple who also were on the ferry on the way back.
I suppose no one in the world has captured them arguing, because it seems like they're having quite public spats.
I think the most awkward part of this interview was that they'd said that they'd both really matured since the big fight and it's made their friendships stronger.
Yeah, so much so that Jackie actually went on to be Gabby's maid of honor at her wedding.
Well, it was an honorary maid of honor because Gabby ended up having quite a small ceremony.
It was very extravagant, but she only invited thirty people and she said she wanted the vibe of the wedding to be like a big dinner party with friends.
That's how intimate West wedding was.
So Jackie was there getting ready with Gabby, but they didn't have an official bridal party as such.
Now, this wedding took place in November last year, but by February there was a lot of speculation that Jackie and Gabby were not no longer friends because people noticed that they weren't following each other anymore.
It's a telltale sign.
We had so many people sliding into our dms asking us to speak about this potential friendship bust up.
I couldn't believe how many people were interested in it, but we didn't want to touch on it until there was something concrete.
Speaker 2Well.
Speaker 1Lucy Jackson and Nicky Westcott actually added a lot of fuel to the fire around that time in February on their podcast Happy Hour, because they spoke about how two of their friends had a falling out and unfollowed each other, and later in the episode they implied it was over competitiveness and jealousy over weddings.
I love that they dropped that on their podcasts.
I am a big fan of the Happy Hour podcast and Nicky and Lucy.
They seem to be interested in the influence of tea despite being influencers themselves, which I enjoyed.
Yeah, particularly when they've got a bit of tea to share.
Speaker 2Yeah, I love it.
Please share more.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Well, we don't have to speculate anymore because Gabby has confirmed that they are no longer friends.
Now.
All of this drama started last month when Jackie shared a TikTok that seemingly commented on the friendship breakdown.
So in the video, Jackie is joined by none other than Rannie Bransbury, which was a complete blast from the past.
She lives in Perth, so it kind of makes sense though it's very Perth centric this story.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So Jackie, Rannie, and Gabby all used to be friends together.
They were in a bit of a trio.
So Jackie has filmed herself with Rannie and added text to the screen that says what happened to the trio and in response, Jackie mimes to the lyric oh Boy from the Sabrina Carpet a song Manchild.
The pair then shrug and look at something on Rannie's phone, the shade I'm living for the.
Speaker 2Shade as you can imagine.
Speaker 1The comment section absolutely blew up, and while Gabby didn't comment, she did like a comment that said Jackie threw a fit at her wedding.
Now.
Another commenter pointed this out and Jackie replied, I did throw a fit though my dress ate Now.
That comment got over four thousand likes.
Jackie then went on to defend herself, saying if this happened, why would we have posted Fords videos from the wedding together.
Let's use critical thinking skills here.
Well, it is a good point because if there's been a massive bust up at this wedding, you aren't posting photos of your honorary bridesmaid.
You're going to try and eliminate them from those posts.
Well, the follower replied to Jackie saying, I'm not saying it happened.
I'm saying she's spreading this narrative, to which Jackie said, I fear you are too, babe.
Someone else wrote, wait, what have I missed, and Jackie replied, nothing of no queen now.
Sofa Dofa also inserted herself into the narrative, and she replied and a oop.
Rannie Bransbick also wrote over a bottle of wine, and Jackie replied, say less, this to me feels like an old school influence a few the way that the influencer's friends are actually getting involved and weighing in.
And I feel like we need a bit more of this.
Yes, it's a bit petty and high school, but I feel like we need a bit more of that injected into the influence the world to make it more interesting, because for a while there everyone's getting too boring.
Oh it's so bloody entertaining.
I've been glued to this all week, and I came across an old TikTok of Gabby's from last year in November, where she referred to Jackie as her best friend.
And it seems like off the back of Jackie's TikTok, Gabby has decided, well, maybe I'll reply to some of the commentas on this video asking what had happened.
So she wrote back she ruined my wedding day and went on to say we are definitely not friends anymore.
She then took things a step further and shared her own clap back to TikTok on Thursday, and in the video, she looked seriously at the camera with a text on the screen that said, some people will never forgive you for what they did to you.
Speaker 2Read that again.
Speaker 1Someone commented spill the tea.
Jackie and Gabby ended up writing under that the truth is simple.
She got black out at my wedding, yelled at me in front of my entire family and made me cry.
Obviously, after that, our friendship never recovered.
I'm just trying to move on with my life.
We are literally grown adults, and it's so sad and embarrassing.
Some girls thrive on drama and bulling in twenty twenty five and others.
A pretty big accusation from Gabby.
Ah, that's a massive accusation, and Jackie responded with her own clap back, and it was quite the timing because she was celebrating her Hen's party, which also appears to be a collab with Cat the Label, and Jackie shared a video from her Hen's party where she was posing for photos sitting in the back of a convertible with text on the screen that said, ain't nobody safe When I'm a little bit drunk.
The lyrics of that song also played, and Jackie added the caption read that Again, which was a copy of Gabby's caption.
I love that she took time out of her hens to do this.
It shows how much she's obviously impacting her.
Someone commented under the post, so we've heard, and Jackie replied, talking about me again, because no one listens when they speak about themselves.
Now, Jackie just keeps delivering.
So on Friday she backed it up with a TikTok of her strutting through the airport with the caption me trying to act like I'm not slowly losing my mind, And underneath the post someone wrote, we need your side asap, and Jackie replied, God forbid, a girl has a dream.
She does have a point, because Gabby is really painting Jackie to be someone who can't handle their alcohol.
And it seems to be quite clear from the fact that they've had a friendship bust up before that it's not just to do with this one incident.
Speaker 2Yeah, there's a lot of things brewing in the background.
They clearly just clash heads.
Speaker 1Yeah, it seems to be a systemic problem.
And I found this focus on alcohol really interesting because as research for this episode, I listened to the episode of Jackie's podcast where she interviewed Gabby, and Gabby was talking about her life and she grew up as I suppose, a teen model, and when she was fifteen, she actually moved to Asia by herself and was in this model house and she said they used to go.
Speaker 2Out all the time.
Speaker 1They didn't really worry about IDs where she was living, and she got into alcohol pretty early and that's part of the reason that she's now sober.
And she spoke about how her and her partner are both sober and she kind of wishes she could have a sneaky champagne on her wedding as liquid courage, and Jackie was like, oh, well, I'll have one for you.
And so it seems to me perhaps this is a case of their life style's.
Speaker 2Not Oh definitely.
Speaker 1I mean it's safe to say that Jackie is a bit of a party girl, so it would be hard as her friend if you're trying to live this sober lifestyle.
Maybe she feels like she's been left out of a few nights out as well.
Speaker 2Who knows.
Speaker 1Well.
It was interesting because during this interview on Jackie's podcast, they were talking about, well, what is it like being the only sober friend?
And she said, I remember every little embarrassing thing everyone else does, but they don't remember shit what I did.
Oh, so does it sound like she's sort of lauding their behavior over them.
Yeah, I did get that vibe.
And I mean, we don't know what actually happened at this wedding, but we've got Rannie Bransby sort of backing up Jackie's claims.
You know that they were just having a few drinks.
So maybe it was a case of a lot of the girls were drinking and having fun.
You know, when you're in that mood and you're drinking, you don't know how loud you're being.
And then you've got Gabby who was so maybe wishing that she could have a drink at her wedding, and it seems really Yeah, I do feel a bit for Gabby though, as the person who is generally well is always the sober friend I don't drink.
It can be hard when you're out and about and your friends are being obnoxious and acting like Dix really and you're like just rein it in, particularly for a wedding.
You're not saying that, not saying that Jackie's actually done anything wrong.
Speaker 2At the wedding.
Speaker 1Yeah, But the thing is if you're both sober as the bride and groom, and you're having this very intimate wedding where there's only thirty people.
Everyone knows you really well.
And if you don't want it to be a party vibe with alcohol, why don't you.
Speaker 2Just not serve it.
Yeah, that's a good point.
We joked.
Speaker 1My husband and I joke that we wouldn't serve any alcohol at our wedding.
But we had about one hundred people and we're like, well, no one will probably come and no one will give a present if we did that, I don't think it would be a popular decision.
Speaker 2No.
Now.
Speaker 1The Daily Mail ended up covering this story and they reached out to Jackie, who ended up giving them a statement.
She said to set their record straight.
I did not yell at Gabby's wedding, nor did I ruin her day.
We continue to remain friends post her wedding day.
There is a deeper problem and level of the story which is missing, as anyone who has been in a toxic friendship will completely understand, sometimes people aren't meant to be friends, and that's simply what has happened here.
In the end, it wasn't healthy for the both of us, and that's why it ended, which had already happened once before, but I chose to forgive her and try again.
These accusations are false and hurtful.
What has been more upsetting is the ongoing bulling and public shaming directed at me, since I have always respected that it was Gabby's special day and I would never want to take away from that.
But respect goes both ways.
I would not stand by silently while my.
Speaker 2Character is attacked.
Speaker 1That is a pretty strong statement to put out there, and I do feel for Jackie because there is this particular narrative and story being built around her and her consumption of alcohol, which is pretty unfounded and quite unfair.
Yeah, I think the fact that she was confident enough to give this statement to The Daily Mail speaks volumes.
Gabby's very clever because she knows that there's nothing more than the Daily Mail in particular, love than a story where a bride and a bride'smaid ap pitted against each other and the bride'smaid has tried to steal the show or ruin the day.
Because I think even just with normal people, weddings really do generate a lot of friendship bust up.
Speaker 2So they bring out the worst and people.
Speaker 1They do be honest, and there's so many people who have no longer been friends with someone after a wedding.
They do say that sometimes your wedding will be the last place that you see some of your friends.
And I think that's why this story resonates with so many people, because not only is it a friendship bust up, which a lot of us has been through, but it's also due to a wedding.
Speaker 2Got to take the kiss of school in a minute.
I went to Melbourne.
Speaker 1I've got a brand event and stuff like super quick trip should be fine.
It appears things are heating up between Tammy Hembro and Bailey Smith, with Tammy spending the second weekend in a row in the AFL player's hometown of Melbourne.
It seems pretty serious and we touched on last week.
But it's bloody awkward because Tammy's ex husband, Matt Sakowski, is of course from Melbourne as well.
She never seemed to be there when they were dating.
Yeah, because it was always Matt Sakowski who was having to jump on the plane to the Gold Coast put in the effort to go and visit Tammy and her family do we reckon It's because in that situation that was the lesser known person.
He was just some guy off a reality show, whereas Tammy was the big star.
But now Tammy's in a situation where Bailey Smith in Australia is more mainstream known than her, So he is the bigger mainstream celebrity.
Yeah.
I think being an AFL player, he's definitely put on a pedestal in saying that, though.
I think it has to do with the fact that at the moment he's in a finals campaign and he can't just drop everything to fly to the Gold Coast every weekend.
That's a good point.
Is actually got shit going on.
He's got a bit going through him as well.
I mean Tammy does as well.
She's got her businesses and her children.
But it shows how much she wants this new romance to work.
Yeah.
Well, she just keeps using these brand events that she's invited to that she would never normally go to as an excuse to go to Melbourne.
She actually shared a TikTok updating her followers about her weekend plans and get Ready with Me video.
Now, she didn't mention Bailey, but she said she was going on a fun, super quick trip to Melbourne for a brand event and stuff.
And the brand event in question was for a fashion label, and they must have been thanking they're lucky stars at the timing because the media were in full force to get pictures of Tammy.
How many Melbourne brands are going to be reaching out to Tammy?
Now we've got this fantastic event in Melbourne, You've got to come along.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Well, the media had an absolute field day at this event because Tammy rocked up in this sarong style dress with a plunging neckline, and the media were reporting that she nearly had a wardrobe malfunction, which which means basically.
Speaker 2Her boobs were about to pop out.
Speaker 1That's very early two thousands, the whole wardrobe malfunctions stories, isn't it.
It reminds me of when Jennifer Hawkins genuinely had a wardrobe malfunction and I think she was wearing a strong actually and her sarong fell off when she was walking down the runway.
But you know how funny it is, it just showed off her g string bikini like now everyone's just wearing now.
The media also spotted at this event that Tammy was wearing a twenty five thousand dollar Cartier watch and they are claiming that this must be a gift from Bailey.
I mean, I think they're forgetting that Tammy Hembro is worth fifty million dollars.
Speaker 2I think she can.
Speaker 1Buy her own Cartier what and out of those two, if someone is going to be gifting someone a twenty five thousand dollars watch, it's going to be Tammy for Bailey.
Now, Geelong are in the finals at the moment, and I'm not usually one who wants to sit down and watch the footy on the weekend, but I wanted to see if I could spot Tammy Hembro in the crowd.
It is still unknown if she was in the stand supporting Bailey.
I didn't see her myself, and no pap shots have appeared yet.
I feel like if she was there in the wild, someone would have snapped a photo and she had it to TikTok.
But then again, maybe it's not the demographic that's interested in Tammy Hembro.
What we do know is that she was in Melbourne, so she probably celebrated with him at the very least after It seems like she's a bit of a lucky charm because Geelong won and they're through to the pre limb.
I just love that Tammy Hembro is entering her wag era, particularly after her divorce.
It's a bit of fun.
She's on the sidelines.
I'm here for it.
I love it bringing a bit of glamour back to the AFL.
Isn't she blitz and glamour.
I'm just counting down the days to the Brownlow to be completely honest with.
Speaker 2Do you actually think she's going to be at it?
Speaker 1Yes, I definitely do think she's going to be at it.
She is gearing up to be at the Brownlow.
Speaker 2Do we reckon?
Speaker 1We'll see a bit of a sponsored number for her outfit.
We had Vera Waang who provided some wedding dresses for her, which she's currently trying to sell.
Speaker 2Maybe she could rewear one of the dresses.
Speaker 1I mean it was pink, isn't it When people get divorced, didn't they used to trash their dresses or die?
Then maybe she could dye the dress a different color, given another spin.
Yeah.
Well, it's been reported that she's had a lot of designers reach out to her, but the strong rumor is that influencer stylist Paul Fasaci will be dressing her for the eventually.
Because he's very controversial at the moment, he is now talking about controversials over.
I want to talk to you about what Bailey said after the game to the media, because I haven't heard this.
This is an epic quote.
He was asked what he's going to do with his week off footy because they've got a buy in between waiting to play the prelimb, and he said, probably get on the piss for a bit, relax the mind, hang out with my mates.
I think there will definitely be a sneaky trip to the Gold Coast thrown in there.
What does his coach think about him saying this?
Speaker 2See, I actually like this.
Speaker 1I feel like they're bringing a bit of character back to the game.
I know over the weekend, Nick Daykos got in trouble because he said the F word during a press conference, and like, what will little children think?
And I kind of understand it from that perspective if.
Speaker 2They're not hearing on TikTok.
Speaker 1Yeah, but I just love having a bit of character to the game, like a bit of fun.
As a Crow's supporter, I hope that Bailey Smith does get on the beers and then he heads to the Gold Coast and he's not in full form if they're to face them in the prelim final, because that what a shit game that was on the weekend.
Yeah, I'm one of those Crows fans who I'm jumping back on the bandwagon.
I've been off the bandag for about ten years.
It used to be a die hard Crows fank.
We would cry if they lost.
And now that we've finished as minor premier.
Sorry, this is a bit of footy talk for people we might not be interested, but as we finished as minor premiers, I'm back.
I'm wanting to actually watch the games.
I had to beg my husband, who's a massive port fan.
We actually watched the Crows games.
Speaker 2Are you okay?
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 3Oh?
Speaker 1We watched it as well.
It was so funny seeing Taylor Walker play his three hundredth game and his son's standing on the sidelines in a Nick Daykos jumper.
Speaker 2It was hilarious.
Speaker 1But those who haven't seen it somehow his son is Louis.
I can't rember his name, but he is a massive fan of Collingwood and Nick Daykos and these social media teams for the Crows and Colin would have been having some fun with it.
So he actually got to meet Nick and he presented him with a jersey.
Taylor Walker was such a good sport though.
He patted him on the back, gave his son a hug.
It was the first thing he bloody saw as he's being chair lifted off after a very bad loss for the Crows.
Yeah, now we will get away from footy talk because some of our listeners may be snoring their heads.
Speaker 2Off, but in fact we used to want to be sports journals.
Happened to us.
Speaker 1Yeah, well that's why I'm loving the influencer in sports.
Well collide, Yeah, the crossover.
Now back to Tammy Hembro.
She continues to bless us with very entertaining snapchats and while she was in Melbourne over the weekend, she filmed herself miming in the back of an uber and she panned her camera across as if she was going to show who she was sitting next to, but then just showed an empty seat and gave it the finger.
Speaker 2When she was.
Speaker 1Back on the Gold Coast on Sunday, she also filmed a TikTok where she was in her car playing up how difficult it is to date.
So the caption on the screen said, trying to be cool in the talking stage, but you have no game.
I have still agree Tammy doesn't have any game.
She's probably not used to the chatting dating stage because got no game.
When I say she doesn't have game, obviously she does have game.
Everyone saying she's collected three engagement rings.
Speaker 2She does have game.
Speaker 1But what she doesn't have is she's not used to being in a casual, fun, relaxed relationship.
Everything goes from zero to one hundred with her, so she's probably liked a second.
Why isn't this guy proposed to me yet?
Yeah, that is true, because if we reflect on a relationship with Mattzakowski, she should already have Bailey Smith's name tattooed somewhere.
Speaker 2That'll be a new rumor that the Daily Mail will be running.
Yeah, first heard and outspoken.
Speaker 1Don't quote us on that one, because we have absolutely no proof of that.
No.
The thing is, though, she's also dealing with someone who is quite a bit younger than her in that gen Z demographic who he's the face of Tinder at the moment, he's you know, into casual dating apparently, so I.
Speaker 2Wonder if he still is on Tinder.
Speaker 1Please, if you're on Tinder and you see him on there, let us know, as if he's actually on tin he's not talking to anyone now.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail have tried their hardest to conjure up a story about Tammy being involved in a neighborhood feud that sounds very today tonight.
Oh so I saw these pap photos on Influence Updates AU and I was like, oh my god, what an invasion of privacy because the photos were of the exterior of Tammy's home, literally doxing her address, and the pictures were of this big ton of cardboard out the front.
Obviously she'd done a big unpackaging.
Well, it's probably a lot of pr packages that she gets sent.
I heavily related to this because we have a trailer filled with cardboard which sits to the side of our house, which is quite ugly to look at.
But from having a baby, you buy so many things.
They all come in large boxes.
Our couch came in a large box.
Speaker 2You can't get rid of this shit.
Speaker 1Well, yeah, just as regular people, you deal with a lot of cardboards, so imagine, you know, express and thought for the influencers that have ten ton of it.
There were also photos of like shoes.
Speaker 2Piled out at the front.
I'm like, she's got three kids.
Speaker 1Yeah, And they also noted that the light fitting was a bit rusty and the fence was stained.
I'm like, this woman runs two businesses and has three children and you know, is a single mum.
Speaker 2Can we give her a bit of slack?
Speaker 1She's also been flitting back and forward to mel but she might not have had time to do it on the weekend.
So is the crux of this story that the neighbor has apparently complained and sent them through the photo.
Speaker 2Yes.
Speaker 1So apparently the Daily Mail spotted some anonymous comments on Tammy's posts about how there was a neighborhood feud because Tammy's not maintaining her front yard up to the standard that her neighbors want.
So they flew a journalist across to investigate.
And this journalist obviously took the pap down, took photos of the front yard and then she started doing a door knock of the area and was asking Tammy's neighbors about her I mean, I wonder if they went through the bins like.
I don't want to turn my nose up at this sort of story, because I did used to Eka today tonight, and this is the exact sort of shit that we would concentrate on.
Neighborhood feuds thrown in with an influencer.
Speaker 2It's a great story.
Speaker 1I actually loved that the Daily Mail was dedicated enough to send a journal out their door knocking.
Speaker 2Usually they just make shit up.
I don't want to give them too much props.
Speaker 1It seems like a complete invasion of privacy because they were literally going to all her neighbors being like, what do you know?
Speaker 2What does she do?
Speaker 1It is an invasion of privacy.
But we've said for a while now that investigative journalism is dead.
Speaker 2Clearly it is not.
Speaker 1Yeah, Well, what the journalists managed to uncover is that Tammy has a gardener once a fortnight and that the people were just being malicious on social media.
But they did manage to tack on at the end that an anonymous neighbor said that Tammy was quite unpopular on the street and wasn't friendly.
I would literally hate if an investigtive journalist came down to speak to our neighbors when the three of us lived together, because my golly, they would have some stories about the constant arguing and yelling that came from out At least they went to our family home, because our dad is your typical retired man who is you know, has an issue when people park out the front of his house.
It's funny because I remember growing up, we saw a neighbor and her mum said, oh, yes, we spent the weekend that goa and the neighbor responded.
Speaker 2Yes, we know.
Speaker 1We couldn't hear your kids screaming in the backyards like a lot.
Speaker 4Of guys for the past, like tennys.
Speaker 1For weeks now, rumors have been swirling that Sarah's Day's husband, Kurt Tills, is set to undergo a hair transplant.
Speculation was ignited when Kurt popped up in the background of one of Sarah's reels, sporting a freshly shaved head.
Now so, the new look seemed to shock a lot of Sarah's followers, with one describing it as a jump scare.
I also got a bit of a jump scare when I saw him pop up.
I mean, his initial appearance was so quick that you could have blinked and missed it because he appeared in a reel which was focused around their son Fox cooking, so he was cooking up some healthy cupcakes for his family, and Kurt was literally in the video for i'd say a millisecond eating one of the cupcakes.
But his fleeting appearance seemed to rock some followers to their core because with no warning, Kurt, who has been a permanent fixture on this channel since twenty seventeen, was suddenly bald.
And not only was he bald, but he looked like an egg because his head was so shiny and pale.
He usually has.
Speaker 2A bit of a tan to him.
It was just a very dramatic change.
Speaker 1I feel like it's a bit harsh to say he looks like an egg.
But what I think you're trying to say is that it's not like he finally bit the bullet, because he has been losing his hair for a bit.
It's not like he finally went I'm going to go and get it shaved off.
I've got a bit of you know, stubble on the head.
It was like literally very extreme close shaved.
Speaker 2It was very close shave.
Speaker 1Well.
I wasn't the only one who was shocked.
The top comment under the video was where is Kurt's hair?
All in capitals, and that comment received over five hundred likes.
Another follower said that they almost died when they saw the bald head, whilst another said they nearly pulled their neck reeling from the quick flash of Kurt's head.
I have to admit that this screenshot of Kurt's bald head it did the rounds in our group chat, because I, for one, wasn't sitting through Fox's cooking video.
It was quite a lengthy video.
It was Amy who was very quick with the screen shot.
Yeah, I do want to point out that there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a ball head or shaving your head.
It's just definitely not I've been saying he should do it for years because he, as Sarah pointed out, for ten years, he's been losing his hair and he has been holding onto the scraps.
Speaker 2A bit, hasn't it.
Speaker 1Yeah, he and Sarah have been very upfront with the fact that he's been losing his hair and is not really sure what to do with it.
They've spoken about him trying different hairstars, and that's what I was most surprised about.
The fact that she just dropped it in this reel with no explanation, because remember when she first cut her son Fox's hair, because they let it grow really long, and it was at the stage where they're like, oh, we've got to cut it because we can't actually get a brush through it.
And she teased it for weeks that they were going to do this unveiling of Fox's new hair.
Speaker 2So I'm surprised that Kurt's.
Speaker 1Hair transformation wasn't used as contents.
Yeah, she's really missed an opportunity there to click bait, hasn't she.
Speaker 2I mean, she's probably too busy with her three children now.
Speaker 1Sarah is known for weighing in in the comment section, and she decided to respond to a follower who wrote, wait, why is Kurt Bold?
She replied saying, I have a lot to update you on.
Make sure you're watching my YouTube blogs, and this response led her followers to start speculating that perhaps Kurt was set to undergo a hair transplant.
Well, it seems to be something that a lot of men are getting done now.
On the most recent series of Love Ireland, it came out that Harry and Ben both that had hair plugged so the media managed to dig up these before and after photos of them from like some hair transplant clinic in Turkey.
Oh, the transformation was pretty dramatic.
Speaker 2Oh, it's so good.
That's the thing.
Speaker 1I would think, because Kurt and Sarah have so much money, why not get a hair transplant if it's something that is bothering you.
Yeah.
And particularly when Kurt joined Sarah's YouTube channel, he was kind of like the Ken to her Barbie.
Like, he was this pinup guy who was very fit, and he had blonde hair, he had a tan rock a fake tan.
He seemed to be very into his appearance.
I think as he's gotten older, he hasn't placed as much importance into it.
Speaker 2Side note, I'm.
Speaker 1A bit of a fan of the videos on TikTok where bald men go and get the wigs.
Speaker 2Done although glue on white.
Speaker 1Yeah, and you're shocked at how much.
Speaker 2Better they look.
Speaker 1Sorry, I know that sounds really harsh, but it's a dramatic transformation for some men.
I mean some men absolutely rock a bald head.
I mean you think of David Beckham, he looks great with his buzzcut.
Well, there's those guys that actually get the sort of hair stubble tattooed onto it and it actually looks really good.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1The thing is, I think a lot of people assume that this was also a hair transplant due to the fact that Sarah was saying, look out for my video.
There's something coming.
Maybe people thought that there was some sort of sponsorship deal with a surgeon, which I mean I would have thought that maybe surgeons would be reaching up, particularly surgeons in Australia who might be trying to generate interest in it because a lot of people fly Turkey, but you could get it done in Australia.
Also because back in the day, Sarah got a deal for Kurt with a dentist that got his teeth strange.
Yeah, Sarah definitely knows how to generate Engagement's been very good at it, and she knows what her audience wants.
So when she dropped her latest YouTube video, she included in the title Kurts bald, so people automatically wanted to click on it, and they decided to address the news with humor, which I quite enjoyed.
Let's throw to a snippet of what they said.
Speaker 4We have major family news and I'm really sorry you guys.
Didn't even get his say goodbye, and it's going to be a jump scare, and it may be it may really emotionally affect a few people on the channel, but now there's a conspiracy going around on the comment felt like he's bald because he's getting.
Speaker 2A hair traced.
Speaker 4Like, no, I just shaved it all off to get rid of it.
Speaker 2Tell us the story.
I was in the gym.
Speaker 1I took my hat off and my hair was just sitting in a weird position, and I was like, Nah, stuff this and get rid of it.
Speaker 3So I'm MESSI Sarah, I said, hell, the boys get the shaver out shav.
Speaker 2So what he shaved his head at the gym?
Speaker 1No, no, no, He waited until he got home and he got Fox and Malachi, his sons, to each take turns at shaving his head.
So he knelt down in the shower so that the hair would all go in there whilst they were shaving his head, and you could tell he was almost regretting it as it was going on.
Causerah's like, are you sure that you want to do this?
And he's like not really?
Oh God?
Speaker 2So is that why it was such a close shave?
Speaker 1Because they probably had these kids hacking at it, and they're like, well, we're going to have to just go right to the scout.
Speaker 2Maybe it'll look better once it grows back a little bit.
Oh, I think it.
Definitely.
Speaker 1He's a nice looking guy.
He's got a nice face, Like, of course he'll be able to rock the balllet head.
It just needs a bit more stubble to go through.
I love that they actually addressed the conspiracy theories.
I'm a fan of when influence has actually touch on what everyone's been saying in the comment section instead of just ignoring it.
Yeah, well, good on him.
I kind of like that he just dealt with it like a band aid straight off.
Speaker 2I also had to laugh when their son Fox.
Speaker 1Was like, you're bold, brother, You're bold.
Speaker 2That was what he's funny.
Speaker 1Well, that is where we are going to leave things today.

All the details are in the show notes.
Again, that show is just an extension of this show.
Basically, and I think we're a bit more unhinged on there.
Is that the right word unhinged or just a bit more unfiltered.
It's probably a nice When we have our discussions about what topics we're going to cover on the regular shows, we're always like, oh, maybe just like that one for the subs.
I think I feel we're comfortable talking about it on the subs.
It's pretty good timing because my son is waking up for his two hour nap.
He's decided to start screaming, so I'm perfect timing.
I'm very impressed with him.
It's been quite relaxing, thanks for the podcast.
He's throwing his legs around in there at the moment, so I better go in.
