Chloe Szep's Water Fast, Influencer Breaks Ups & The Burnt Cookie

specially for this. I had an early minute to return. How was the trip, Yeah, it was really good. Marion Bay is such a beautiful spot, but as I mentioned on Monday's episode, there isn't that much to do, so you do have to make your own fun. We stayed at a really lovely airbnb that had this amazing combustion heater. Wow, you really do have to make your own fun. If that was a highlight combustion, I've got one of my house.

But I say that because our rental at the moment, the living room is so cold because our heater at is broken, so it was like being in luxury. It was so warm in the evening for those who didn't listen to Monday's episode. You were, of course away with your in laws on a trip. Did it all go smoothly? Yeah?

I did go smoothly. We had a room, so Brandon's parents were staying in one Airbnb and Brandon and I were staying with his sister in another Airbnb, and also his auntie and uncle were over, so it was a good time to get to know family members more. I did really feel sorry for Brandon's uncle and auntie because they literally had a mouse plague happening in their house.

So cool. Every day they would discover new mice, so there was even a mouse in their granddaughter's bed, which I mean, isn't the nicest One also got into the Natella. I mean it was a very clever rat. Well. I think we should move on to our social dilemma of the week, which was inspired by influencer jar Dae Tunci and her boyfriend. Yeah So, jar Day shared on an Instagram story that she was in the kitchen and her boyfriend started bagging her out for putting plates in the sink.

Let's throw to that clip friendly reminder that a few means free and not put the dishes straight into the dishwa washer. You don't have to put them in the sink. I've tried to teach this for four years now, but she's still four years. Four years your record? How long have we been together? How long have we been together? Less than four years. I feel like the dishwasher is a big one for certain people. So I feel like when Amy, Sophie and I were living together that I

was like queen of the dishwasher. I was in charge of how the plates went in. I made sure that there wasn't food all over them, because that's my biggest pet peeve when someone puts a plate in and it's all still got food on it. So what you're trying to say is you were the wanker about the dishwasher. Yes, I what, Oh my god, I got yelled out so

many times? And can you tell reesis because I asked him today before the podcast, is it that I do that you feel like you've had to train me domestically around the house, And he said that I don't do the dishwasher correctly. Now, he is coming from a family his dad is so like over the top with the dish washer that none of us even put anything in, like it's very anal retentive and very impressive. And to set the scene when we grew up, our dad didn't

really do anything in the kitchen. No. He did a bit of a shock when you see men doing stuff because we've been brought up with our dad doing nothing. Yeah. Well, so I was pretty offended over that. What about you, guys, What is anything around the house that you feel like your partners had to train you to do domestically? And I'm not saying that because we're women, Because there's things that I've had to train res to do domestical house.

I feel like it's almost ironic coming from men sometimes, Yeah, because I think they know they think. I think they think they know how to do everything. Probably, like I remember Dad would sit at home and watch Hughie's cooking show. He then wouldn't cook dinner, but he'd have the nerve to tell Mum how to do things like buy a

garlic crusher. And well, one thing that's come up a lot with Dale and I living together is apparently I leave a lot of stuff in the sink, so like you know, when you go and take out the strainer that's in the sink, he gets annoyed. If there's food in there that is gross, it is it is gross, but sometimes it's the last thing, Like you forget about it, don't you after you've cooked something, watched stuff out. Thus

has always got food in there. Well, I have a few that I get in trouble for my Number one is not putting the tower back. Number two is not filling up the cold water in the way such a prick you did that the other like last Friday when we recorded, I went to get a drink after you'd been here and it was completely empty and I knew it was you. So that reminds me. Reese is always on my case because if I leave, like if there's a drink, I'll leave like a dribble in the drink.

And then also with packets of like chips or something, I'll always leave like two chips, and Reese will go to get them and he'd be like, what why do you do that, Sophie. To be fair, I feel like you would have trained Brandon because I feel like you're both kind of at the same level of like moving out of home, like because Brandon first moved out of home with you at the same level I'd moved out of home for about four years and we moved in together. You hate and I had baby Juice, Yeah, child in

the house. There was one of the things that I had to teach Brandon about was actually how to correctly hang clothes on the line, well instead of on the throwing them on the right. But you know, like boys would just like you know, if you put up a pair of pants, you pin them from the top of the pants. You don't. He does them from the top of the pants. Yeah, don't you hang the pants over? Yeah, and you but you put the pegs on the top. You don't do it? Hang them from the lake, yeah,

just on the peg issue, Sophie. Do you know what I've heard that some people get so obsessed with the laundry that they actually choose pegs that are the same color as the idea. Oh no, no, sorry. I if I have multicolored pegs, I like to use like, you know, two green pegs on the same shirt. Like I don't have to do it, but I just automatically do. So this is if you have a blue shirt, he used blue pegs. If you have pink, hon is used many how many colored different colored pegs people have? What the

one other other than the dishwasher. The thing that I apparently do that is annoying and I feel like a lot of I think you guys do it too. Is you know when you finish the toilet roll and you just leave it in the bathroom. I leave them in the cupboard and then Dale has to come out with like one hundred times. I feel like this is a bit of a battle that most couples face, or when you're living with a rumor it's the bin, because I will literally place things on, like balance things on the

bin and refuse to take it out. See, I'm really lucky because Reese is so good with the bin. I think that's why our relationship works well, because he always just takes it out and he can tell it. I'm like procrastinated. Don't you love that with the bin? You just screw yourself over because it gets to the point where the garbage is so heavy that when the person getting stuck taking it out of the bag, like brain,

I feel like I'm all rude. I feel like I'm all for feminism, but when it comes to actually wheeling the bins out the front, like I feel like that's a man'sh My god, I get stuck doing that all the time, really, and it will generally be in the morning because we've forgotten and I'll be in my pajamas with no makeup on. Well, I want to hear domestic duties your partner has taught you, or domestic duties you've

taught your partner. Go to our Facebook group and tell us in there also duties that you know you want them to do, but they still don't listen. Hello, everyone, welcome back to my channel. On Monday, Chloe zep announced to her six hundred and eighty four thousand followers that she was undertaking a twenty four hour but water fast.

Sun equals energy. Oh my god, it got worse. So she then also shared an update which has since deleted, that said I've only had water and one celery juice today, doing twenty four hours of just water, no coffee, r food, Going surprisingly well, but doing it to rest my digestive system, use mind over matter, and to test my willpower, and there's health benefits to it. This is just so dangerous, especially considering Chloe opened up a number of months ago

about having an eating disorder. Well, yeah, it really is. And also the fact, for those who don't know, Chloe gave birth to her son, Aarti in August twenty twenty, so he's not even one yet. She is still breastfeeding him. And when I had to look into water fasting, it said that people who are breastfeeding, and also people that have experienced eating disorders or distorted eating should not be doing a water fast. This was also alongside people who

are on blood pressure medication and also with diabetes. So water fasting when you are breastfeeding is really bad because you basically don't get all the nutrients your body needs to keep you and your baby healthy. It is really troubling because Chloe does have such a young and impressurable audience and the thing is if if she wants to go and do that in her own time, she's her

own person if she sees the benefit in it. But where what I find troubling is her sharing all of this to her audience, because people are going to go, oh, well, that must be healthy. I'm going to go and do a water fast well, particularly when she kind of places herself as an expert with her well web website, a lot of people would assume that perhaps she does have some sort of qualifications in this field and that what

she's saying is correct. Yeah, And for me, I think it was the word of discipline that was constantly used because I feel like that word is very triggering for people with eating disorders. And we had a discussion about this in our Facebook community, and there were members in our Facebook community who have had eating disorders that did find this really troubling and triggering, and I feel so sorry for those people that had to see this on Instagram.

So it was almost as though she was urging others to look after their bodies in the way that she was doing. So. Yeah. Well, the thing is as well, is that often when people do this sort of water fasting and other things that they claim to be healthy, they can be suffering from author rexia. So I'm not saying Chloe necessarily is, but it can often be a trait that people try and portray an extreme way of eating or dieting as doing a lot of good for

their body when it's really not. Chloe did seem to spread a lot of misinformation around this twenty four hour water cleanse, and a dietitian actually sent her a DM and wrote, what is disciplined about not eating? Stop spreading ridiculous false information to your impressionable followers. The blood is absolutely on yours and all the other pseudoscience wellness influencers hands for promoting disordered eating to young girls. You know

what detoxifies your body. You'll liver, not water or celery juice or any other food or drink. You are doing more harm than good. And Chloe actually responded to this DM and she wrote, it's allowing my body to purify. There's a lot of research on it. I'm not doing it to be disciplined to stop eating for my body before my mind and allowing my body to rest. Don't

share it then, don't share it online. You obviously know you've been in the social media game for long enough, you know that people are going to comment and send you dms saying that this is not right? Is it just me? Or does this seem very much something that would have happened back in twenty fourteen. I feel like a lot of influencers know not to perpetuate this sort of misinformation anymore. But Chloe just hasn't seemed got that memo. Yeah,

I know. Well, do you know what I found pretty interesting about the whole thing is it came off the back of Chloe and Mitch unveiling their movie room. Now, a lot of people were shocked when they saw this movie room. I was because it had a massive amount of food in it. It was literally like you were at the movie Yeah, at the candy bar. I wouldn't want to be doing my twenty four hour water cleanse

with sitting in that movie. It's funny you say that, because Mitch was sharing photos of them in the movie room saying it's really hard to be disciplined in this room and there's all this bloody chocolate and popcorn and stuff. I've got to say it probably was the most bougie home theater I have actually seen. Because we have a joke. We've got a joke previously about home theaters because some people say that they have a home theater when they've just got a TV and beanbags in the room. Like

this was next level. So what's kind of interesting though about their movie room as well, is that Mitch and Chloe had a fight in one of their vlogs about which room would be used for the movie room because they had two rooms. One was bigger. Chloe wanted to use one as a meditation room and Mitch wanted to use the other as a movie theater, and Mitch actually won this fight. The room looks incredible, as Kate said, it's got its own candy bar. The only thing it's

missing is a popcorn maker. That is a rookie era. How did they forget that? Do they have a slush puppy machine? No, and I think it's a slushy machine, you know, only we call them slush puppies because that's

what they were called it out year seven canteen. Well, I feel like the movie theater must be a big thing for influencers because Saffron Barker, she is transforming her house at the moment, and she is making a huge movie room as well, and she was recently vlogging out at the movies and she basically did this shout out to a slushy company in the UK, saying, please send me one of your machines and I will promote it. But apparently she did say that they only send out

the machines to corporations, so individuals can't have them. Well, that's slush puppy company. It's like really a B to B company, not a business to consumers, so there's no point of her promoting it. You know what. The sad thing about Chloe Zepp though, is that she is really likable, and I think that's what disappoints us when we do see stories coming out about these cleanses that she's doing.

Because when you see her relaxing in the movie theater with Mitch and Artie, you can't help but like her as a person. So that's why it comes. It's troubling when you see those kinds of that kind of advice being pushed online. I think that's why it's so dangerous, because she's like your friend. You'd listen to her. I mean, not all of our friends have movie rooms. I mean I probably would like to be friends with her if

I could attend the movie room. Oh my god. I showed Brand in the movie room because he is the biggest movie buff and he's like, that is literally my dream. You know what all I could think about was are those chips going to go stale? Because I can't imagine them eating them all. Yeah. So there was a big draw. They pulled out a draw and it just had chips, pringles, anything you can ever think. It seems to be a really big trend in the influencer community to just have

draws full of excess. It just seems so contradictory though, because then they're not eating any of them. Yeah, it's like it's just all for the Instagram. Yeah. Good mining. So I'm curring down in Sydney still at the moment, and I thought I would take you long.

a lot online. However, I have been listening to Madison's podcast, Girl Code, and it does seem like she has really made an effort to kind of learn from those experiences. So they haven't unfollowed each other. They haven't, but as you mentioned, her podcasts, Madison made it pretty clear that things are on the rocks. Her episode was entitled breakers, Oh, and there were so many little digs, like it's quite

obvious that they've split. They ketch like. I feel like perhaps she's promised Jonathan that she won't say something for a week, but there were so many signs that they're not together. Well, the first sign their relationship was on the rocks was when Madison announced that she would no longer be moving in with Jonathan now. On her podcast, she announced that she and her best friend Caitlin were going to both be moving into a new place with Jonathan.

A week after. She then told her followers that actually she was going to be moving out by herself. Now, this had to do with her business, her clothing brand that she runs, so she said that she needed more space to run her business, so she would be moving in on her own. I do respect the fact that at twenty three years of age, Madison is a very independent person. I mean, I think a lot of girls would just fall into, you know, having a boyfriend and

making them their whole life. So I don't really like that message that she is sending to young girls. Well, I think we should go to some of the grubs because on her podcast recently it became evidently clear that they had broken up. The episode itself was entitled Breakup, and there were a lot of digs about breakups and why people break up. So let's go and listen to some of those grubs.

Someone said, how long should you wait? How long should you wait to start dating after a breakup? I love that all of these and breakup questions today, you guys are really guys, are really gon't through it, okay.

and getting over a relationship. So I'm very much interested to see what tea comes from that because I feel like, you know, even the fact that Madison mentioned her ex, so she went on, she told a story about how her ex from NEWSA that basically they were so happy together and there was nothing wrong with the relationship, but she essentially, you know, wanted to do these things on

her own and moved to Sydney and whatnot. So I just thought, wow, imagine being Jonathan and listening back to her, talking glowingly about hers and then putting all these potshots in about him. Well, I've noticed online that the revenge photos, like the post breakup photos already started to emerge. So Madison's been posting some pretty, you know, like basically like hot photos of herself online. The first trap, yeah, with some photos to show Jonathan what he's missing out on.

And Jonathan has been sharing also some photos to show Madison. There was one photo, yeah, So there was one photo that showed up and Jonathan was wearing these bright yellow bike shorts and let's just say he had a rather big bulge in his pants. And one follower of his commented, how many socks are left in your sock draw? Bro? And I mustn't been. I was thinking the exact same things,

I bet you. Like if I was Madison and I saw that, I would just be so glad to be rid of him, because why do you want to guy out with someone who stuffs their jocks for Instagram? For it to be fair, A lot of male models probably do that, can I don't know, I just there is something that I get. The eg fact about men posting Instagram shows that he did this one this morning and he's on something. I think he is actually a model now.

He was out on this shoot and it was him pouting in a mirror, and I just I mean, he's a very attractive guy, but people just become so unattracted that you don't really want to walk in on your boyfriend taking a mirror selfie with four pairs of socks down his bike shot wondering where the laundry is. God, I did notice that, I did notice that Jonathan is heading back home to Brisbane, and I'm wondering if that's going to be a more permanent move, because he did

move across to Sydney to be with Madison. We've also got to remember that Jonathan is turning thirty next year and Madison is twenty three. There's quite a large age gap between them, and it is quite evident from listening to her podcast that they are both at very different stages of their life. So I really think it probably is the best for them. And I do know, obviously from personal experience, that breakups are a really tough time, so hopefully it's not too much of a tough time

for them. Do you think that Jonathan will date another influencer? Oh? Do you think that's maybe way it's headed back to Brisbane because I seems to be more influencers in Brisbane than see what I mean. He was really only there for Madison, I assume, So we'll have to see what happens.

one yourself, so you're a little bit biased. Yes, I'm very invested in this story so that it had to be in our influencer rout today. So I have been eagerly following Billy the Golden and now she has got a new puppy called Ben, and I really respect how Billy and Ben like, how cute is that? That is a cute name. It is one of the most gorgeous puppies I've ever seen and make me have to butt in. I said, why aren't you the Golden Cocker? Anyway, it just makes you want to get another puppy so much.

And I've just loved watching her stories because she's really showing the reality of having a puppy. So she shared so tough having a puppy. Yeah, So she shared a video of her trying to do a workout and he kept like biting the resistance band. And then she also showed him like being really cute trying to get up on the couch and then she was like cleaning his diarrhea up at the same time. I've got to say, I'm sorry for the barking dog next. So, yeah, we

need to know that we're talking about puppies. Do you know what I loved in our community this week? Probably the most popular thread we had was people sharing pictures of their dogs and cats and rabbits. Yeah, that thread was amazing. It made me smile so much going through it. If you haven't shared a photo of your dog or cat or rabbit, or whatever pet you have, go into the Facebook community and share it and also have a look because it will just brighten up your Friday look

to the cookie. When I told Amy about this topic, we both burst out laughing uncontrollably for a little while. So it's about Tarlia Skeines's burnt cookie. Now that's not a euphemism. She actually ordered what she called a gooeyok cookie with ice cream on Uber eats to watch in front of I think it was the state of Origin happening in Queensland, and it turned up completely burnt. Isn't that the most first world thing ever? Though, to be complaining that your cookie that you ordered off uber eats

came burnt, like obviously it'd be pissed off. But how privileged does that sound to order one gio? How rich are you to be ordering a cookie like fucking see, I'm too much of a scab to do that. If I'm gonna order something on a delivery service, I will order big, so it's worth it, do you know what? I think? Maybe that's because we don't drink, like you know, when everybody's hungover and they're just like money is no option. It's like I'm gonna order myself two minute noodles on

uber eats because that's all I want. So what does she say about the burnt cookie? What was the conundrum with the cookie? Well, she just said, just ordered a gooeie cookie with ice cream on Uber eats to watch the footy Dot dot dot. This is what turned up. Not sure whether to laugh or cry, but my apartment spells like burnt food. Shook And then she also tagged the company that sent me. I just please share the photo in the group, please to look fair. I would

be absolutely livid. You're like hanging out for this cookie, You've spent big bucks and getting it delivered at burn it. It was a disgrace, But usually the food's cold, so I'm really surprised that it was burt. Yeah, but it could still be cold and burnt. Do you know what? I agree with what Sophie said in terms of if she ordered a cookie and it came bert, my goodness, we would hear about this for the next two weeks. It's like when she had those pizzas ordered the charge extra.

This was on the day I moved into a rental, so I had been moving for hours on end, and all we wanted was a couple of pizzas no, I won't say the pizza shop, and they charged us for the delivery of every individual item. The delivery was more expensive than the pizza. No one wants to hear it, I wrote, I wrote in an email. I didn't even get given about it. It was a disgrace. I love that this is a year on and you're still so

mad about it. See. I'm more of a person that will go to the same restaurant, Like I frequent the same places, and I'll be really particular about whether I think the meal was good or not. Usually it's dependent on how much Chipotle sauce I'm given on my food. But yeah, I don't I really would complain about the cookie as well. Yeah, we'll put it in the Facebook group. We'll put the picture up of the cookie and would you complain about this cookie? Well, I think that's all

we've got time for today. Thank you so much for listening to Friday's episode about spoken. I actually really feel like a cookie. Oh, I know me too. If you did enjoy the episode, we'd love if you could go and leave us a five star review. We've got a

bit of impashion in the ratings lately. Now, if you do enjoy it, we would really appreciate and if you do want to join in the conversation, please join us in our Facebook community, which is outspoken at the podcast community there'll be a picture of a Burrent cookie there.
