Speaker 2: Like we really have to give a shout out to
Speaker 2: the scrollers because we have like Nova has given us
Speaker 2: the data and to lift the curtain a little bit.
Speaker 2: We have the most dedicated listeners out of like any
Speaker 2: podcast ever, not even just Nova, Like this is unheard
Speaker 2: of in the podcast world. It is are you serious?
Speaker 2: It is like the fact that we have people first
Speaker 2: of all listen the whole way through and most of
Speaker 2: the time non stop as well, like people don't kind
Speaker 2: of like stop our poke, Like I know, people sit
Speaker 2: in the car and will wait if there's seven minutes left,
Speaker 2: they won't just listen to the seven.

Speaker 2: lot more people jump on like we just have like

Speaker 1: exclusive tea. It's obviously for everyone that's interested in Fate,
Speaker 1: which I hope would be most of you if I'm.
Speaker 2: Waiting for the men's line.
Speaker 1: But yeah, if you're a scroller, you must also be
Speaker 1: a We don't have a word for Fate customers.
Speaker 3: Fters I don't have it. I don't have a word
Speaker 3: for it.
Speaker 1: But anyway, okay, So, as we discussed on Tuesday, I'm
Speaker 1: very excited because we're doing this big giveaway for our
Speaker 1: seventh birthday this month, and seven lucky winners are winning
Speaker 1: a brand trip with Fate and we're going to treat
Speaker 1: them like royalty and influencers, fully paid fornyway. So in
Speaker 1: my mind, I thought only seven people are going to
Speaker 1: win this, and thousands of people have entered. Therefore I
Speaker 1: immediately feel guilty, and obviously I can't give a holiday
Speaker 1: to every person I would be bankrupt.
Speaker 3: Lack tuperware or tuperware. I feel like that's one MLM
Speaker 3: that I kind of like what the problem is.
Speaker 2: Though, If you make a product that's too good, people
Speaker 2: don't have to RepA.
Speaker 1: They come out with so many other products. But those
Speaker 1: tubs last five decade.
Speaker 2: Like our top aware lasts a lifetime. Well that's amazing
Speaker 2: for me as a customer, but unfortunately I have no
Speaker 2: need to buy another one.
Speaker 1: You lose the lids and then you got to buy more. Yeah,
Speaker 1: make the lid easy to lose. Anyway, So everyone knows
Speaker 1: about our giveaway, everyone knows when the dates are, Like,
Speaker 1: we've put that in the fine print. So the influencer
Speaker 1: Did I just say influencer giveaway? I don't fucking know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying anyway, For our Lucky seven giveaway for Fate,
Speaker 1: the trip is happening on October thirtieth, thirty first and
Speaker 1: November first, so it's over three days. Yeah, it just
Speaker 1: so happens to fall on Halloween. We didn't tee that up.
Speaker 1: But also fuck Halloween, as we all know. So the
Speaker 1: winners that come with us will be with us on
Speaker 1: the Wednesday, the Thursday, and the Friday and then they
Speaker 1: go home on the Friday afternoon.
Speaker 3: Or whatever their flight is. Now, we've organized.
Speaker 1: All sorts of things for the winners and we've like
Speaker 1: clued some of it on social media, like fancy dinners,
Speaker 1: breakfast spreads. We're doing private shopping at our Fate Newcastle store.
Speaker 1: We're shutting the store for the morning and the VIP
Speaker 1: shoppers are having this whole store to themselves. We're giving
Speaker 1: them money to spend in the store. We're doing pilates, things, lunches,
Speaker 1: and then we've got a glam session happening, like a
Speaker 1: hair and makeup session on the Thursday, like just after lunch.
Speaker 1: They're getting their hair and makeup done for something. And
Speaker 1: then so I've thought, let's just fucking add something else
Speaker 1: into the mix and go all out. So we are
Speaker 1: throwing a party on the Thursday night of the trip,
Speaker 1: which obviously the seven winners are going to come along to,
Speaker 1: but then we want to invite as many other people
Speaker 1: as we can as well, and so we're doing a
Speaker 1: huge event kind of just like to celebrate the giveaway
Speaker 1: and also Fate's birthday, and we're going absolutely all out
Speaker 1: and it's going to be a ticketed event. We've got
Speaker 1: a stunning, stunning venue. I'm talking people hire this out
Speaker 1: for their fucking weddings, and let me tell you, it
Speaker 1: hasn't been cheap. We're going all out and we're throwing
Speaker 1: a huge event which I haven't even given it a
Speaker 1: name yet, but I think I'll just go with a
Speaker 1: Date with Fate because I feel like that just yeah,
Speaker 1: We're doing a Date with Fate night and it's just
Speaker 1: one huge community event. Again, no influencers. I mean, if
Speaker 1: influencers want to come, they can, and we're going to
Speaker 1: be launching tickets for it, and it's just like one
Speaker 1: huge fun event like bar Canna pays media walls. We've
Speaker 1: got someone coming to do like live art, florals. We're
Speaker 1: doing giveaways, everyone gets a goodie bag. It's like an
Speaker 1: influencer event, but for our community. And that's happening on
Speaker 1: the Thursday. It's on fucking Halloween night of all nights,
Speaker 1: but it's not a Halloween party. And the venue is
Speaker 1: absolutely stunning, and there's like three whole different areas and
Speaker 1: like live entertainment, blah blah blah prizes. Everyone gets a
Speaker 1: goodie bag, everyone gets something that no, wait, I shouldn't
Speaker 1: say that, because I want it to be a surprised
Speaker 1: on the night.
Speaker 2: Take that out, okay, because that's cams.
Speaker 1: Everyone gets big y yeah like that, and it's just
Speaker 1: gonna be one massive fun night because why the fuck not,
Speaker 1: Like we were doing this trim, We're like, fuck it,
Speaker 1: let's include more people. So we're going to be releasing
Speaker 1: tickets to that after we have announced the seven winners,
Speaker 1: so probably the day after will be announcing that and
Speaker 1: releasing the tickets. So if you don't win the giveaway,
Speaker 1: which I'm so sorry if you don't, Like I already
Speaker 1: feel bad at how many people have entered and are
Speaker 1: dying to calm, Like, I feel so terrible, but fucking
Speaker 1: put thirty first of October in your calendar, and if
Speaker 1: you are not in Newcastle, takes manual leave and make
Speaker 1: a weekend of it, because call up your besties. You're
Speaker 1: coming too Newcastle and you're coming to a date with
Speaker 1: fate event and she's going to be so epic and fun.
Speaker 1: We want people to make new friends, make connections, like
Speaker 1: our community is so awesome, So I'm just so excited
Speaker 1: that we're going to bring like I think we're doing
Speaker 1: like one hundred and forty tickets, so it's going to
Speaker 1: be like quite a decent size event and it's just
Speaker 1: going to be a big fun night. So even though
Speaker 1: a lot of people won't be able to win the
Speaker 1: giveaway there's only seven, we're still going to have a
Speaker 1: night of celebration kind of thing. And it's obviously exciting
Speaker 1: for everyone in Newcastle and the Central Coast. But even
Speaker 1: if you're not from Nuie and you want to go
Speaker 1: on a little getaway, there's going to be an opportunity there.
Speaker 1: Which I'm not expecting anyone to book fucking flights and everything,
Speaker 1: but knowing our community, people probably will and then you
Speaker 1: could go to fat and out do and make a
Speaker 1: little trip of it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So that is really exciting. It's going to be so fun. Matt.
Speaker 3: You're more than welcome to come, but it is far
Speaker 3: for you to go.
Speaker 2: I'm happy to come, but I well, I was like,
Speaker 2: first of all, you know, you're like, it's not an
Speaker 2: influencer thing, so if you like, don't get me to
Speaker 2: come there.
Speaker 3: I told Kate and she said she'll come to Okay, Well.
Speaker 2: I'll go with Kate, but do you need me to
Speaker 2: do anything like happy to EMC, happy.
Speaker 3: To see if you wanted to do like some sort
Speaker 3: of stand up. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I do stand up, but like
Speaker 2: if you're doing the I don't know if you already
Speaker 2: planned to MC everything anyway, but like I'm like, I'm
Speaker 2: happy to help out obviously for free as well, Like
Speaker 2: I'm not going to charge you.
Speaker 3: Okay, we'll have to talk after the point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we'll do a camp little brainstorm session. But
Speaker 2: I also know, like fates your things, So if you
Speaker 2: don't want my hands.
Speaker 1: On you, but then I know it's like far no,
Speaker 1: then Kate's coming too, so you can like pick her
Speaker 1: up halfway.
Speaker 2: I will definitely come.
Speaker 1: So yeah, thirty first, which is Halloween.
Speaker 2: I'll be there in a severe address. Fucking oh yeah.
Speaker 1: It's just gonna be fun, Like we have fun at Fate,
Speaker 1: but I'm like, this is just real fun, you know,
Speaker 1: and getting the community involved and why not. We have
Speaker 1: just the nicest community and we do like VIP shopping
Speaker 1: nights and stuff where we get to meet our community.
Speaker 1: But I think this is just going to be even
Speaker 1: more special, like having one hundred and something people there.
Speaker 3: So that's my surprise, get ready for it.
Speaker 2: And even though it is one hundred and forty people,
Speaker 2: I feel it's that's still quite intimate, like it's still
Speaker 2: an experience.
Speaker 3: It could be more, but we kind of kept it
Speaker 3: with like maximum one hundred and fifty. I don't know,
Speaker 3: you reckon, you reckon? I should do more?
Speaker 2: What about as? Oh god, now we'll talk afterwards. I've
Speaker 2: got so many ideas, but we'll chat afterwards. But because
Speaker 2: we don't want to give too many things away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be more. That's just kind of what
Speaker 1: we put it at. And we've been working out goodie
Speaker 1: bags and everything nice. I don't want to have five
Speaker 1: hundred goodie bags.
Speaker 2: But if you do, it's my job to hand those
Speaker 2: out on department.
Speaker 1: Well, they know they don't get the goodie bag when
Speaker 1: they enter. There's like a different part of the night
Speaker 1: where they get given the goody bag.
Speaker 2: It's all like Horned House for Halloween. Yeah, Fate themed
Speaker 2: into each different room, immersive experience, three.
Speaker 1: Different rooms at different times, different activities.
Speaker 3: In each one.
Speaker 2: Would it be a media wall, there's two.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've got the Fate media wall.
Speaker 1: Got a photographer coming, just going around getting happy snaps
Speaker 1: of everyone.
Speaker 2: Look I am. I'm like beaming. I'm like, this is
Speaker 2: so exciting for you. Oh I love it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's my special surprise. You heard it here first,
Speaker 1: because literally i'n't even told the girls at work that
Speaker 1: I was going to do this. I've ruined the surprise.
Speaker 1: But it's only for the people that listen to close friends.
Speaker 2: Really, even the girls that worked to know God.
Speaker 3: Only just told this now, like off the car.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. I think it's so funny that when you
Speaker 2: announce the competition for seven years of Fate, you did
Speaker 2: like a little throwback of your journey through videos. And
Speaker 2: I remember seeing the video and there's like the first
Speaker 2: shot of the video is like you sitting on your
Speaker 2: lounge in that apartment in or that townhouse in Qatar, yeah,
Speaker 2: which was we had so many memories at And I
Speaker 2: just see you sitting there full glam.
Speaker 1: I know that was twenty seventeen, literally when it was
Speaker 1: like full wing lineup glam.
Speaker 2: Splashes, sitting on the on the lounge with your blonde
Speaker 2: hair and your extensions and your fake tan and your
Speaker 2: eyeliner and your eyelashes and your lips done and all
Speaker 2: the red not done as in botox, like velvet teddy
Speaker 2: lipstick on. Like I'm just like, oh my gosh, the
Speaker 2: way that you've changed.
Speaker 3: And I say in that clip, oh, this is a
Speaker 3: really exciting day for me.
Speaker 2: You're like, I don't know how this is going to
Speaker 2: go that we all see.
Speaker 3: This massive party for our community.
Speaker 2: And I remember like the first like when you released Fate.
Speaker 2: I still remember coming over to that Katara townhouse that
Speaker 2: you were living in, which was so stunning. I was
Speaker 2: was so jealous of.
Speaker 3: It because it was just three stories, fucked that.
Speaker 2: I know, it took us so long to get upstairs
Speaker 2: and something. It's good if we remember we'd be on
Speaker 2: the middle level, which was like the lounge room, and
Speaker 2: then the bottom level was like the garage, and then
Speaker 2: the top level, the third level was like the bedrooms,
Speaker 2: and that's where we'd like get ready, and we would
Speaker 2: be on the middle level and we would be like,
Speaker 2: we cannot be bothered walking upstairs to get ready. Let's
Speaker 2: just like not film a video today.
Speaker 3: The privilege could be bothered.
Speaker 2: But I still remember, like.
Speaker 3: So many skits in that house too. That's where the
Speaker 3: tits click.
Speaker 1: H Tanya Hennessy was filmed so many skits when we
Speaker 1: did the maths skits.
Speaker 3: Yes, that was in that house.
Speaker 2: Oh, the cotton on girl scanning a new rewards member,
Speaker 2: you want tote bags?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so many memories.
Speaker 2: But like the memory of first of all, being in
Speaker 2: your office and you're showing me like this, Remember the
Speaker 2: book of like fabric samples from like way back whenever,
Speaker 2: and even like when Staples Swim came about and things
Speaker 2: like that, And then remember the black tubs in your
Speaker 2: garage next to the.
Speaker 3: Car, next to the photography, back.
Speaker 2: To the photography. I don't even remember. I don't I
Speaker 2: don't know at this point the memory that I've got
Speaker 2: in my mind, I don't even remember the photography backdrop.
Speaker 2: I just remember like literally like ten dresses, like yeah,
Speaker 2: it's nothing anything, I know. And you were like, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is what I'm going to do. And I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: best of life. I hope this goes well for you.

Speaker 1: with the printer on it.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, I remember trying to work out the
Speaker 2: printer as well, trying to set that up doing the test.
Speaker 1: Did you ever pack any orders for me? You did
