No Utes In The Valet

Season 2 is here.
In this episode of No Utes in the Valet, we break down one of the biggest misconceptions in pop culture: the red carpet.
From the Oscars to the AFL, we unpack what actually drives attention, money, and influence in today’s media landscape.
Why celebrities are getting paid millions to walk red carpets
The real business behind fashion partnerships and brand deals
Why the Oscars are losing viewers (and what’s replacing them)
Best and worst dressed from this year’s awards season
And the ongoing debate: does sport or fashion have more cultural power?
This is where two completely different worlds collide.

Sit back, go for a walk and enjoy the best of.

A very special guest has swept into the Valet this week… Victorian of the Year 2025, Gold Logie winner, founder of Carrie’s Beanies for Brain Cancer, and most importantly, a dear friend to us… the incredible Carrie Bickmore.
She’s a an Australian powerhouse with a heart of absolute gold, and she’s here for candour, chaos and a couple of laughs with Elliot and Isaac. Carrie shares what’s next for her, and even flips the script on the boys, following her journalistic instincts and asking them all the questions...

From after school hangs in the family work room in Coburg to a flagship store on High Street, Armadale ⁠Effie Katsaounis⁠ reflects on business highs and lows, and what it takes to pick yourself up after losing it all and building it back up bigger and better than ever.

We hear Effie's first impressions of Elliot!
Isaac asks about postpartum fashion and we get a big scoop.
And we get the most profound ending to a podcast episode yet.

Check out Effie's work ⁠@effiekatsofficial⁠ ⁠@baysebrand⁠

The Ute was in for a service last week so there was a lot for Elliot and Isaac to unpack:
Big news for the pod (Thank you!)
All the tea from the Melbourne Cup Carnival (including 'those' boots)
After chatting about Kris Jenner's 70th we discover someone once hosted a fur and feathers party
We discuss what bangers need to be on a party playlist
And it's back - Issie scans another outfit of Elliot's with wild success (how much is too much for a tshirt)
