Speaker 2: country and elders past present.
Speaker 1: We extend our respect to any First Nations Aboriginal and
Speaker 1: Torres Strait Islander people joining us.
Speaker 2: Today, always was, always will be Aboriginal Land. Well, hello everyone,
Speaker 2: I hope you had a fabulous Christmas. We are back
Speaker 2: once again with one of our little bonus episodes, close
Speaker 2: Friends Ard, just to tie you through until we come
Speaker 2: back early next year. Hybrid. How are you good?
Speaker 3: How are you yeah?
Speaker 2: Good? Thank you? How are you good? Good?
Speaker 3: Thanks? How about you good?
Speaker 2: Thank you? How are you yeah? We asked in our
Speaker 2: broadcast channel quite a while ago, and we absolutely totally
Speaker 2: forgot to even do this, but we asked you for
Speaker 2: some questions Q and A vibes, and then we never
Speaker 2: actually got around to answering any of the questions. So
Speaker 2: we thought we'd dig out from the archives these questions
Speaker 2: that our scrollers have asked us in our broadcast channel
Speaker 2: on Instagram. If you haven't joined the channel, why not,
Speaker 2: And just thought we could do a chill Q and
Speaker 2: A because let's face it, we didn't plan anything else.
Speaker 1: Okay, I like this question, Matt. Let's start with this, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm just going straight into it. How do you navigate?
Speaker 1: How you to navigate genuine friendships versus only their Sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry this is written really badly.
Speaker 4: Sorry to whoever asked this question, but essentially, well this
Speaker 4: person is asking is how do we navigate online versus
Speaker 4: genuine friendships?
Speaker 3: Because you're well known in the public eye, That's what
Speaker 3: the question is. And I love this.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yes, you start. I yeah, I know exactly what
Speaker 2: you're asking. I know exactly what you mean. But it's
Speaker 2: really fucking obvious to me. Me too, It's really obvious
Speaker 2: when someone isn't genuine, genuine and when they only want
Speaker 2: something beneficial.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I find it extremely hard to make I know
Speaker 1: we've talked about this before, like earlier this year, like
Speaker 1: making new friends. I am really open to making new friends,
Speaker 1: especially in your thirties. I think it's hard, regardless in
Speaker 1: your thirties, to make new friends. Like everyone's stuck in
Speaker 1: their own ways, everyone's got kids, everyone's got their friendship groups.
Speaker 1: But I'm really open to the idea of making new friends.
Speaker 1: I think one thing, and I don't want this to
Speaker 1: ever come across the wrong way. But I think one
Speaker 1: thing that I struggle with the most, like being in
Speaker 1: my position and like my job that I do and
Speaker 1: having followers online is like I can just feel that
Speaker 1: people look at me differently to how they look at
Speaker 1: anyone else, and like, I hate that feeling.
Speaker 3: I hate that, like I hate the oh you work
Speaker 3: with Brittany, like what you like blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Like I get people are curious and whatever, but I
Speaker 1: find it hard to make new friends when I know
Speaker 1: that any girls that I meet out there like have
Speaker 1: this pre conceived idea of me just because of what
Speaker 1: I do for a job. Like and straight up I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say, like, I hate that because I can tell
Speaker 1: when I meet people that they're just looking at me differently.
Speaker 1: And by differently, I mean like I don't know, like
Speaker 1: I think people think that people online or she's on
Speaker 1: her a fate, Like I feel like I'm put into
Speaker 1: a different category to if you just work it jb
Speaker 1: hi fi when mentally I'm just the same as everyone else,
Speaker 1: and I find it really hard to make new friends.
Speaker 3: Sorry that's a bit depressed.
Speaker 2: See, I find it easy to make new friends because,
Speaker 2: as I said, it's really obvious to me.
Speaker 3: I agree on that as well.
Speaker 2: Like I just understand the vibe, Like I can just
Speaker 2: get a vibe off someone straight away and go, oh
Speaker 2: my god, we're so each other's person, like we're going
Speaker 2: to be friends.
Speaker 1: I think what I'm gonna what I I'm trying to
Speaker 1: say is it's really noticeable to me when I meet
Speaker 1: let's say, a girl out and about or wherever, and
Speaker 1: when she just treats me like a normal person, that
Speaker 1: stands out to me.
Speaker 3: But most of the time it's not that like, and
Speaker 3: then I find it hard to make friends with that.
Speaker 1: Person because it's like, oh my god, can we get
Speaker 1: a photo? You know, which I'm more than happy to,
Speaker 1: But then I find it really hard to make friends
Speaker 1: with that person. Yeah, That's what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 1: And then so when someone meets me, they go, how
Speaker 1: the fuck are ya, how's everything going, and they just
Speaker 1: like talk normally. Like I really appreciate that and could
Speaker 1: see myself being friends with that person. But you're right
Speaker 1: in saying, like you can tell when someone's genuine or not,
Speaker 1: like because they make it pretty fucking obvious.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. But even still, it's also like a
Speaker 2: subconscious thing I feel for me, What do you mean
Speaker 2: or like? Even if even if they did come up
Speaker 2: and go, hey a gown, I reckon, I could.
Speaker 3: Still see through the lines if.
Speaker 2: They being genuine in that interaction or not. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: just feel like I'm really good at reading people and
Speaker 2: it only takes me thirty seconds to know what type
Speaker 2: of person you are and whether we're gonna gel or not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm judging a book by it's cover, but I
Speaker 2: haven't been wrong yet, So there you go.
Speaker 1: Okay, next question, Well, I'm just gonna go to the
Speaker 1: ones that have the most lights because most people want
Speaker 1: to hear about that. What's one opportunity that you turned
Speaker 1: down that could have changed your careers?
Speaker 2: Do you have one that comes to mind? I feel
Speaker 2: like you would have a lot when it comes to fate.
Speaker 3: No, I would say mine was I.
Speaker 1: I've spoke about this on the podcast before I was
Speaker 1: going to audition to go on High five.
Speaker 2: It's not coming to me, but maybe Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was when I was living in Melbourne, so I
Speaker 1: would have been twenty four ish or twenty three and
Speaker 1: I was going to audition to go on High five.
Speaker 2: Imagine where you'd be today. Yeah, Jesus.
Speaker 1: And then I was like, oh, nah, so imagine if
Speaker 1: I did. Has there been anything that you turned down.
Speaker 2: Earlier this year? I was about to start a brand
Speaker 2: and release a product, but then things happened and it
Speaker 2: didn't go ahead for the best you reckon.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know the story. You can't tell the story.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, yes it didn't go ahead, and that's fine.
Speaker 2: Learned some things in the process, that's fine. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I guess like that could have changed the course of
Speaker 2: things this year, couldn't it. Oh it's all a bit secretive,
Speaker 2: isn't it.
Speaker 1: It's all a bit Next year we'll tell everyone what
Speaker 1: happened for sure, or maybe not because you might get suited.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. But anyway, I could have had
Speaker 2: a brand and a product and potentially, you know, who
Speaker 2: knows what could have come from that. I can, yeah,
Speaker 2: for sure, But it's also something that's not really at
Speaker 2: the top of my list to do list right now.
Speaker 2: So that could have changed my career. But I'm thinking
Speaker 2: and I'm thinking back and not really I kind of had.
Speaker 2: I've kind of have taken every opportunity I could think.
Speaker 3: You're a very yes person.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I feel like if it's if it is
Speaker 2: gonna benefit I guess changed your careers. That could go
Speaker 2: either way. But I think what they mean is, is
Speaker 2: there an opportunity that could have changed your careers as
Speaker 2: in like made it even better? Is that when they do?
Speaker 2: Is that how you read that question, because that's how
Speaker 2: I read that question. But I'm like all the things
Speaker 2: that I see a benefit in, I take that opportunity,
Speaker 2: which I feel like at this stage in my life,
Speaker 2: if you're not taking opportunities that benefit you, if you're
Speaker 2: taking opportunities that don't benefit you, stupid dumb, why are
Speaker 2: you wasting your time doing that? Life short? Put yourself first?
Speaker 2: I love this one. What's your signature scent? Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I liked this.
Speaker 1: One at the moment. My signature scent is Chanelle Gabrielle Nice.
Speaker 1: That is my signature perfume that I reach for most days.
Speaker 1: It's like a hotel lobby kind of smell, like you
Speaker 1: just walk into a nice, expensive hotel. It's got that
Speaker 1: kind of vibe like fresh, a bit floury, but like
Speaker 1: not girly, more like a hotel.
Speaker 3: What's yours?
Speaker 2: Well? I have different signature sense for different things. So
Speaker 2: for example, I have my Louis Vuitton perfume, which I
Speaker 2: can't pronounce the name of, but it starts with H
Speaker 2: and I'm not even going to try and know it's
Speaker 2: like housed absence or something like that. I don't know,
Speaker 2: I don't know something like that. It's my like very fancy,
Speaker 2: very you know. I wear those to my special occasions,
Speaker 2: let's say, and a lot of events and things like that.
Speaker 2: And then the like every day kind of sand is
Speaker 2: like a Paca Rauban invictus, and that's also meet and greet,
Speaker 2: you know, after my shows and things. One because it's
Speaker 2: so strong, but two because it's a male fragrance. And
Speaker 2: I just love the fact that I'm sitting there in
Speaker 2: a crown and a dress and heels and everything, and
Speaker 2: my legs are shaved and all the rest of that
Speaker 2: looking very warm. But when they come up and say
Speaker 2: hello and then smell like this like daddy, like this
Speaker 2: hot man, like it's I just love, you know, keeping
Speaker 2: people guessing. And then I've also got a Jimmy Chewu man,
Speaker 2: which is literally like I'm running to the to do
Speaker 2: the groceries. It's like a cheap o Jimmy Choo perfume,
Speaker 2: and that's like run into the groceries or just yeah,
Speaker 2: run on errands and stuff like that, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. Nice? What was your high school signature sent
Speaker 2: by the way, because the other day an ad came
Speaker 2: up for Vera Wang Princess.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I had that back in the day, the.
Speaker 2: Little ring on it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. My high school signature scent.
Speaker 2: Wait, can I guess?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Are you gonna say Fantasy by Britney Spears.
Speaker 3: I did have that too. I had all of them.
Speaker 3: I had Curious. I had Midnight Fantasy, which was the
Speaker 3: dark blue bread That was my favorite. Yeah, that was
Speaker 3: really fucking good. I had Circus Curious. I think that's
Speaker 3: what's the names of them. But mine in high school
Speaker 3: was Pink Sugar.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that.
Speaker 1: Was like the pink swirl on the lip. Yes, and
Speaker 1: it was like sickly sweet, very foss Yeah. And then
Speaker 1: also the Hello Kitty Hubber, like the bubble gum spray,
Speaker 1: the pink hellow Kitty. One would go get that from
Speaker 1: coals and just like douse myself in it.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what about yours?
Speaker 2: In high school? I had so ridiculous?
Speaker 3: Can I guess? Was it you won't, oh, I won't.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I feel like every guy in high school was jupe.
Speaker 2: No disgusting, never went with jup. I will say I
Speaker 2: was one of the first people to wear one million,
Speaker 2: which we all now know is like when I was
Speaker 2: wearing it, it was like, you know, chic, and then
Speaker 2: it run got their hands on it, and now you
Speaker 2: walk into a nightclub and it smells like one million
Speaker 2: or silver scent.
Speaker 1: And I remember when I worked at Maya when I
Speaker 1: was seventeen. That's when one million was like new and
Speaker 1: popping off and I could sell the shit out of that,
Speaker 1: Like that was my number one selling men's cologne.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but mine in high school was Dult Chain Gabana
Speaker 2: number ten. It was discontinued years ago and it still
Speaker 2: makes me so sad. I kept the bottle for like
Speaker 2: ten years afterwards, and then it went MOLDI and I
Speaker 2: was like, I've got to let this go. But it
Speaker 2: was like, if I could have any cent forever for
Speaker 2: the rest of my life, it would be the Dult
Speaker 2: changab And number ten. And because I love perfume, remember
Speaker 2: I used to work at a perfume store. In fact,
Speaker 2: I went not just recently with my friend too. He
Speaker 2: was like, I want to get a perfume. And I
Speaker 2: was like, what do you know a cologne? I was like,
Speaker 2: what do you want it to smell like? And he's like, oh,
Speaker 2: this and this and this, and I picked up the
Speaker 2: one that like he described and I was like, try that.
Speaker 2: And he's like, oh my god, you're a psycho. He
Speaker 2: was like, that is literally exactly what I want. That
Speaker 2: is so mean. I'm like, I literally worked in a
Speaker 2: perfume store, Like I know all the notes of all
Speaker 2: the things, and I know what's going to work best
Speaker 2: with people's different skin types and blah blahlah blah, Like,
Speaker 2: if you need a perfume, come to me, okay, because
Speaker 2: I got your sworded.
Speaker 3: I love a perfume.
Speaker 2: What else we got on here? I like this one.
Speaker 2: This one's a bit fun. If you were a cocktail,
Speaker 2: which one? And why?
Speaker 1: That's hard because I feel like I'm just going to
Speaker 1: pick a cocktail that I like.
Speaker 2: No, You've got to think of the cocktail because my
Speaker 2: mind goes straight to espresso martini for you. Yeah, why
Speaker 2: because full of energy? Yeah, most of the time, unless
Speaker 2: we're recording at fucking nine am on a Monday morning,
Speaker 2: full of energy, a crowd favorite. All the girls love it,
Speaker 2: you know, and all night up, all night, Yes, up,
Speaker 2: all night the caffeine.
Speaker 3: I'm up all What kind of cocktail would I be?
Speaker 2: But then you've also got the little espresso beans on top.
Speaker 2: You know, a bit of a hard exterior sort of
Speaker 2: situation there, but underneath is the foamy, delicious mood.
Speaker 3: I don't know what kind of cocktail.
Speaker 2: I'm getting porn Star martini for.
Speaker 1: You see, I was going to say porn Star martini,
Speaker 1: but that's because that's one of my favorite cocktails, so
Speaker 1: I thought it wouldn't suit me.
Speaker 2: I feel you're a long Island iced tea because you've
Speaker 2: got so much going on.
Speaker 3: And that's fitting because that's one of AJ's favorite drinks.
Speaker 3: There you go and loves a long island. We go
Speaker 3: out to a nice restaurant.
Speaker 1: He goes, just one long island, please, a fancy Restaurant's
Speaker 1: getting a fucking long island.
Speaker 2: You've got so much going on. There's a lot of
Speaker 2: things that make you ye, and you've got the sweetness
Speaker 2: of the coc as well in there, and.
Speaker 3: Then bitterness of the Yeah, but it all comes together.
Speaker 3: I think it surprises me.
Speaker 1: About a long Island is that it has so many
Speaker 1: different alcohols in it, but then when you sip it,
Speaker 1: it's like smooth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well depends who makes it.
Speaker 1: I've had some, yeah, true in my life, fucked ones
Speaker 1: as well, But when you make it right, like, it
Speaker 1: almost just tastes like nothing, which is alarming.
Speaker 2: I know, because they're so strong. Yeah, what else have
Speaker 2: we got? Do you have any fun? Do you have
Speaker 2: the biggest fun? Do you have a fine?
Speaker 3: Can you please leave that?
Speaker 2: Please? What the fuck is wrong with me?
Speaker 3: It was just like a broken record. Why did you
Speaker 3: just say that?
Speaker 2: Like, I don't know, I need to go and get
Speaker 2: a pie. I'm hungry, I'm fading over, I'm malnurish. What
Speaker 2: is the question?
Speaker 3: Please?
Speaker 2: Biggest financial fail and how much did you lose?
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say, oh, yeah, I guess it is kind
Speaker 1: of a financial foil.
Speaker 3: It's just dumb.
Speaker 1: When I was eighteen, I got a credit card. I
Speaker 1: think at the time it was just like a one
Speaker 1: thousand dollars limit one, and I did use it at
Speaker 1: the start to like pay for my car regio, and
Speaker 1: then I like paid that.
Speaker 3: Off slowly, but then.
Speaker 1: The bank did the whole like you're now eligible for
Speaker 1: two and a half thousand dollars because like I got
Speaker 1: a one thousand dollar limit one, but then if you
Speaker 1: like pay it off, okay, ish, then they'll increase the limit.
Speaker 1: And it ended up getting up to be a ten
Speaker 1: thousand dollars credit card, so I could spend up to
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars and I'm fucking eighteen years old. And
Speaker 1: then I don't think I bought anything stupid, but I
Speaker 1: just kept.
Speaker 3: Putting things on it.
Speaker 1: I think I might have bought a couple of pieces
Speaker 1: of furniture because I was living out of home and
Speaker 1: so I did like car regio furniture, a TV, whatever.
Speaker 3: And I just had a period of my life there
Speaker 3: for like a.
Speaker 1: Few years where I was never not paying it off,
Speaker 1: like it just would never go down because then i'd
Speaker 1: like forget to pay and then I'd get slapped with
Speaker 1: the fucking fees and so just for ages, I had
Speaker 1: like eight grand dead and yeah, it probably ended up
Speaker 1: paying back way more than eight grand with all the
Speaker 1: interest and everything, and that was just dumb.
Speaker 3: But I had no fucking guidance, did I M? So
Speaker 3: how was I to know that would be stupid?
Speaker 2: And I've still never had a credit card and I
Speaker 2: still will never because I know I will not yet.
Speaker 1: Well, that was fucking how long ago was I eighteen? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well fifteen years ago or something, so I was so young.
Speaker 1: This was before like after pay or anything like that.
Speaker 1: So that was the option that we had just started with,
Speaker 1: like paying off the car regio, and then yeah, it
Speaker 1: turned into just always having like five six, seven, eight
Speaker 1: thousand dollars debt.
Speaker 2: And I've thought about getting one just for points, yeah,
Speaker 2: and paying and then paying it off straight away, but
Speaker 2: it's a slippery slope.
Speaker 3: See, that's what we do for our business.
Speaker 1: So we have a business Amex, and like we put
Speaker 1: all of our big expenses on that so that we
Speaker 1: can get points, but like we pay it off like
Speaker 1: every month, so like it's you're never like in debt
Speaker 1: kind of thing. Yeah, and we do it, but we
Speaker 1: do it with all our business purchases like Australia post
Speaker 1: bill and everything like that.
Speaker 3: So we're going to be paying it.
Speaker 2: Points will be through the fucking road, got millions where
Speaker 2: we're going. Can you please tell us how many fucking
Speaker 2: Amex points you have? Okay, oh my god, this will
Speaker 2: blow my mind. And you're happy to put this in
Speaker 2: the podcast.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, who cares? Hang on, hang on, loading, loading, loading.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Hannah and I are sitting here looking
Speaker 2: at each other.
Speaker 3: Like fucking seven million.
Speaker 1: We've got six million, nine hundred and sixty four thousand,
Speaker 1: six hundred and forty.
Speaker 2: Six million seven transfer something to me right now, bitch.
Speaker 3: What We've never used any like.
Speaker 2: Seven million X points. Oh my god, I'm sweating.
Speaker 1: But that's because we put our business expenses on there,
Speaker 1: Like we put out Australia post bill that's like one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a month.
Speaker 2: Seven million, Yeah, but like we seven million, Where are
Speaker 2: we going? What are we doing?
Speaker 1: So we've had it for like two, let's say two
Speaker 1: years now, and we just purely got it for the
Speaker 1: points thing, like we put all of our big bills
Speaker 1: on it, and like we pay it off before the
Speaker 1: end of the month, so you don't get charging interest
Speaker 1: or anything like that. Like we're never in you're in
Speaker 1: debt until you pay it, and we always pay it
Speaker 1: like AJ pays it. But we've never used it, like
Speaker 1: to go on any trips yet because we've just been
Speaker 1: working so hard for the last two years. So I
Speaker 1: guess like we're gonna go on some good holidays.
Speaker 2: First class by the sounds of it. Bloody hell yeah,
Speaker 2: seven million points. I can't get over that.
Speaker 3: Wow, it's not like me.
Speaker 1: It's like that's fate. All the fate expenses have got
Speaker 1: us that many points. Yeah, for sure, but I get
Speaker 1: to reap the benefits.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's insane. Actually, well, I don't know
Speaker 2: if I can continue now that I know that you've
Speaker 2: got seven million. That's crazy. It's alright. Anyway, Look that's enough.
Speaker 2: I need to process this information.
Speaker 3: And we're going to plan our holiday.
Speaker 2: We're going to plan our holiday. Okay, thank you for listening, scrollers.
Speaker 2: We love you, hope you're having a fabulous Christmas season, and.
