<p>Hello again friends,</p> <p>It’s been a HUGE week, so let’s get stuck in.</p> <p>Firstly Ailish address saying cya to Trump and hello to Biden. We talk about the inauguration ceremony and Biden’s impressive first day in office. <a href="https://www.mamamia.com.au/biden-executive-orders/">This</a> is a good article by Mamamia journalist Chelsea McLaughlin to learn what progress Biden made during his first day. Enjoy some of <a href="https://www.pedestrian.tv/news/presidential-inauguration-joe-biden-memes/?fbclid=IwAR2Rd-pnOsq0V858AcenzBENw_t29S929PhjR2yyCCn5Z38vlcsmJD0hmww">these</a> election memes.</p> <p>Bella wishes Betty White a happy 99th birthday and talks about <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a35237620/betty-white-99th-birthday-stay-up-late-joke/?fbclid=IwAR1sUbn6WV-kIF0JnJrpVTRcdN13AxhS4HbJ88_MiVlKkEuN8kwwqoGQwDw">this</a> Harpers Bazaar interview with Betty by Amy Mackelden.

Abbie Chatfield VS the boys club, Celeb Spell Check, and the SATC reboot
<p>WE’RE BAAAACK!! It has been a hit minute, oh boy, but we’re back and better than ever. Happy New Year and all that jazz, let’s deep dive into the clusterfuck that already is 2021.</p> <p>Ailish kicks us off with a chat about I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and the boys club mentality on the show. Contestant Ash Williams displayed some gross behaviour towards Abbie Chatfield and Alli Simpson. <a href="https://www.pedestrian.tv/entertainment/im-a-celeb-abbie-chatfield-calls-out-ash-williams/">This</a> Pedestrian TV article by Matt Galea breaks it down well.</p> <p>I couldn’t help but wonder … does a Sex and the City reboot belong in 2021? And what does this mean with no Samantha? Bella breaks it down for us. Read more in <a href="https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/sex-and-the-city-reboot-hbo-max-1234882219/">this</a> Variety article by Ellise Shafer. Another good read is Ella Alexander’s <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/culture/a21093577/sex-and-the-city-what-it-got-right-vs-what-it-really-didnt/">recap</a> of SATC’s triumphs and pitfalls for Harpers Bazaar.</p> <p>And Nicolette takes us through a discussion about toeing the line between bullying and holding celebrities accountable. Are accounts like <a href="https://www.instagram.com/celeb_spellcheck/?hl=en">Celeb Spell Check</a> doing more harm than good? Are they just a laugh? Let’s chat.</p> <p>Plus we recommend two TV shows and a skincare product.</p> <p>Thanks for listening, we’ll be in your ears again next week!</p> <p>Connect with the podcast on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gimmeabreakpodcast/"><strong>Instagram</strong></a> and follow us on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@gimmeabreakpodcast"><strong>TikTok</strong></a>.</p> <p>You can find <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bellakitchen13/"><strong>Bella</strong></a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nicolettebarbas/"><strong>Nicolette</strong></a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/ailishdelaney"><strong>Ailish</strong></a> on Instagram too.</p>

OnlyFans double standards, Dr Jill Biden, and influencer businesses
<p>Hello friends,</p> <p>It’s Friday so we’re back in your ears again with some juicy topics. Apologies for keeping you waiting, but trust us when we say this episode is well worth it. </p> <p>Ailish discusses how a 23-year-old who couldn't survive off her salary as a medical worker created an OnlyFans account to get by and the conversation a New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/12/12/nyc-medic-helped-make-ends-meet-with-racy-onlyfans-side-gig/?fbclid=IwAR0MQnu2hY98bhjD46dhd9A78ZpHK1oqJfk6q8QssoEn-bbjl95DtS8gs6A">article</a>, which exposed her, has created. Why is the focus on shaming her for sex work instead of the fact that a medical professional has to work three jobs to get by? <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/onlyfans-emt-lauren-kwei-1103336/?fbclid=IwAR35ELiB6gXJ8XK0gSYgSGXM8-677HN_mQJajjwaLoqASQ0rOulRJqHC3x8">This </a>Rolling Stones article by EJ Dickson summarises our thoughts well.</p> <p>Bella deep dives into Joseph Epstein's Washington Post opinion <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/is-there-a-doctor-in-the-white-house-not-if-you-need-an-m-d-11607727380?cx_testId=3&cx_testVariant=cx_4&cx_artPos=0&fbclid=IwAR2J2ZSQOF7dn9MaIOA5y2F8GN_PakeDvlv8tmP6p_q-NCGM0H8CI4icq7g#cxrecs_s">piece </a>regarding Jill Biden dropping the honorific. It's a mess - let's unpack it. She references <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/dr-jill-biden-wall-street-journal/2020/12/13/e43883a4-3d45-11eb-8db8-395dedaaa036_story.html?fbclid=IwAR0MQnu2hY98bhjD46dhd9A78ZpHK1oqJfk6q8QssoEn-bbjl95DtS8gs6A">this </a>delightful clapback by Monica Hesse. Wash away the first read with this one.</p> <p>And Nicolette ends the conversation with a chat regarding influencer businesses. Do they need to bring something more to the table than just another fashion label with minimal sizing, representation and originality? We think yes.</p> <p>Plus we recommend a wellness product, an app to try and a Netflix show to binge.</p> <p>Thanks for listening! We won't be together to record over the Christmas break, so we'll be back in your ears again next year (ah, scary).</p> <p>Connect with the podcast on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gimmeabreakpodcast/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and follow us on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@gimmeabreakpodcast" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a>.</p> <p>You can find <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bellakitchen13/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bella</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nicolettebarbas/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nicolette</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/ailishdelaney" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ailish</a> on Instagram too. </p>
