Speaker 1: This podcast is being recorded and produced on gadiicol Land.
Speaker 2: We pay our respects to the traditional custodians of this
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. Okay, holloo, welcome.
Speaker 3: Ah, So let's talk about stuff. Let's talk about last week, Matt.
Speaker 1: We had our Lucky seven fake brand trip for our customers, which.
Speaker 3: Went fucking amazingly.
Speaker 1: You know, when you're organizing something like something always goes wrong,
Speaker 1: like if you've got a party or an event, or
Speaker 1: you go on camping or on holidays, like something always
Speaker 1: goes wrong when you've planned everything to a tea. I
Speaker 1: literally cannot fault the three days that we spent with
Speaker 1: our seven customers. Not a single thing went wrong, Like
Speaker 1: no one's flight was delayed, like nothing was missing, Like
Speaker 1: everything went perfectly, and I have no complaints. It was
Speaker 1: definitely the most wholesome three days I've ever had in
Speaker 1: my business journey, I will say, just getting to experience
Speaker 1: hanging out with seven customers for three days and whining
Speaker 1: and dining them.
Speaker 3: It was just really fucking.
Speaker 1: Special and it was amazing to see how grateful they were.
Speaker 1: Like people cried on multiple days, like tears of genuine
Speaker 1: fucking happiness, and that was just so powerful. Like I
Speaker 1: fucking cried. The fake girls were crying. Like there was
Speaker 1: one point on the last day after we did the
Speaker 1: pilates and we're all standing around drinking coffees and one
Speaker 1: girl started crying. Then that everyone started crying, and even
Speaker 1: I was crying and it was that special.
Speaker 2: And he never cry I know.
Speaker 3: And that's what Kim was saying. She's like, he never cried,
Speaker 3: like in front of the fucking fake girl.
Speaker 1: I'm They're like not like bawling, but like it just
Speaker 1: was so nice and it's just got me feeling a
Speaker 1: lot of things moving forward with marketing our business. I
Speaker 1: feel like with Fate, we market our business differently anyway.
Speaker 1: I feel like we've always been a bit of a
Speaker 1: trend setting business when it comes to like the crazy
Speaker 1: warehouse videos and just the way that we be ourselves
Speaker 1: and whatever. I think we've definitely been a big inspiration
Speaker 1: for a lot of brands that now do the same
Speaker 1: sort of style of videos. But even just like involving
Speaker 1: our customers in this way, and then I did like
Speaker 1: a follow up video which I'm like, fuck, this is
Speaker 1: maybe an unpopular opinion, and sorry to all the influences
Speaker 1: that I offended when I said, don't take influencers, take
Speaker 1: customers instead. But I'm just feeling like inspired after it
Speaker 1: to continue to like include our customers more because it's
Speaker 1: just made me realize like we're living in this world
Speaker 1: where like influencer marketing has been like obviously, you know, Matt,
Speaker 1: like you fucking influencer yourself. But I just I feel
Speaker 1: like a shift is gonna happen, not completely, and I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people like not a lot, but
Speaker 1: I had a few comments like nah, but influencers are
Speaker 1: still good, and like we will still continue to work
Speaker 1: with influencers at Fate, But I just think it's like
Speaker 1: really cool that I have the opportunity and I have
Speaker 1: it in my brain like I can market my business,
Speaker 1: but I can use my customers. We will still work
Speaker 1: with fucking influencers, like influencers are powerful, But it was
Speaker 1: just like eye opening, I guess for me to be
Speaker 1: like we can do cool things and promote our business
Speaker 1: and we can use our customers in that experience. As well,
Speaker 1: and like give them a trip of a lifetime or
Speaker 1: a night to remember and I can still advertise my
Speaker 1: business like all at once. It's just been really fucking cool.
Speaker 1: And obviously we had our a date with Fate night
Speaker 1: on the second night of the trip, and you were
Speaker 1: there for that and you made the night. And know
Speaker 1: I've already said that, but it was just again like
Speaker 1: so like the night went completely smoothly, like nothing went wrong.
Speaker 3: Everything was amazing.
Speaker 1: The vibes were high from the minute, but like the
Speaker 1: gates opened and we started letting everyone in, it was
Speaker 1: just like seamless, and I feel like you made it
Speaker 1: so much more fun. Like originally I was just gonna
Speaker 1: do it myself, like MCing kind of thing, and then
Speaker 1: I was like.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna invite you and Kate.
Speaker 1: But then I think you like mentioned it to me
Speaker 1: before I'd even mentioned it to you kind of thing.
Speaker 1: I also didn't want to make you drive all that
Speaker 1: way to Newcastle.
Speaker 2: The drive wasn't bad. I listened to an audiobook and
Speaker 2: I loved it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not that bad of a drive, honestly, And
Speaker 1: I do it so often now that it feels like
Speaker 1: two seconds like the two hour drive.
Speaker 3: But it was just like fucking so good, the night.
Speaker 2: So fun like it was everyone was just in the
Speaker 2: best mood, no complaints, like everyone was just there to
Speaker 2: have a good time, and let's actually take them through
Speaker 2: like the night and what happened.
Speaker 1: So we let everyone in and if you've seen like
Speaker 1: our videos and stuff, you can you can kind of
Speaker 1: get the visual.
Speaker 3: So everyone arrived, everyone got aout, Everyone got a thousand.
Speaker 2: Dollars, Everyone got a thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Everyone got a raffle ticket because we were giving away
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars as the major prize, a thousand dollars cash,
Speaker 1: and we had one of those big novelty checks as well,
Speaker 1: which is really funny. But when everyone arrived, we didn't
Speaker 1: tell them what the raffle ticket was for. So I
Speaker 1: handed out every raffle ticket. I said, this is your
Speaker 1: raffle ticket, hold onto it, like but no one knew
Speaker 1: what the prize was. And when they arrived, we also
Speaker 1: gave them all a wristband and we had like four
Speaker 1: different colored wristbands. Then we had like the Polaroid wall,
Speaker 1: the media wall.
Speaker 3: Tommy was doing interviews.
Speaker 1: It was just like Mingle Hour, and you know what
Speaker 1: one thing was scary, Matt. We had like an open
Speaker 1: bar tab for the night, so like it was just
Speaker 1: free for all, like and we were paying at the end.
Speaker 1: In the first hour. It got to five and a
Speaker 1: half grand in an hour.
Speaker 2: What did you expect it to be for the whole
Speaker 2: event or what were you hope again? En grand?
Speaker 1: Okay, And it got halfway in the first hour and
Speaker 1: the like venue came over and they're like.
Speaker 3: Just want to let you know, we're like an hour
Speaker 3: in it's a five and a half grammar. Oh fuck,
Speaker 3: but it is what it is.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Everyone was having a good time.
Speaker 1: Then we kind of ushered everyone into the second room,
Speaker 1: which had like all these red lanterns in the ceiling,
Speaker 1: and that's when Matt and I began with our High
Speaker 1: Scrollers live show. So Matt got up and did an
Speaker 1: acknowledgment to country and then you introduce yourself and did
Speaker 1: some jokes which I loved and know that some of
Speaker 1: them were from your last live show.
Speaker 3: Everyone's still pissed, and I'm like here in the joke
Speaker 3: in Newcastle.
Speaker 2: Didn't do a show in Newcastle, so I thought I'd
Speaker 2: give him a taste exactly right.
Speaker 1: You did all your funny things, and then you introduced
Speaker 1: me onto the stage, and like the crowd was just.
Speaker 2: Like electric, Yeah, that's the best word for it.
Speaker 1: Electrifying, Like everyone was just so excited to be there.
Speaker 1: And then so we were up on the stage and
Speaker 1: we had a bit of banter between ourselves. The first
Speaker 1: thing I said as I was walking, I'm like, Matt,
Speaker 1: is this a Fate event or is it a High
Speaker 1: Scrollers live show? And everyone's like because there must have
Speaker 1: been so many Scrollers there. And then we just did
Speaker 1: some like housekeeping, like the toilets a here, blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. We're so excited to have you all
Speaker 1: here tonight. We were just talking about like all the
Speaker 1: exciting things that we were doing that night. And then
Speaker 1: we had our first little activity of the night because
Speaker 1: everyone was there from the from our Fate community, like
Speaker 1: we're all part of the same community, but like a
Speaker 1: lot of people don't know each other clearly. So the
Speaker 1: first activity was we said, now you can all see
Speaker 1: you've got different colored wristbands on. So the first activity
Speaker 1: of the night is we want you to go and
Speaker 1: find someone. And before we could even finish yes saying
Speaker 1: what we were going to say. The room just was
Speaker 1: like roaring with conversation like so wild, like our microphones
Speaker 1: were so loud, and so we're saying, we want you
Speaker 1: to grab someone and make a new friend. And then
Speaker 1: before we knew it, it was like roaring of conversation.
Speaker 1: Everyone just jumped in straight away and we couldn't even finish.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Thanks everyone, let's just get.
Speaker 3: You know. They did it straight away like they knew
Speaker 3: they had to go and find a new friend. That
Speaker 3: was just so nice.
Speaker 2: They just like like literally roaring is like the perfect
Speaker 2: word for it. It just erupted like.
Speaker 3: Like no one can fucking hear us anymore. They're all talking.
Speaker 3: It was hilarious.
Speaker 1: So that was the first activity, and the cannapa started
Speaker 1: coming around in that room.
Speaker 2: Say a lot of fish on your menu, sweetie, a
Speaker 2: lot of fish on that menu.
Speaker 1: I did that in spite of you, do you know
Speaker 1: what's fucked? I was so busy that night. I had
Speaker 1: one tiny little like cru ton with some tuna on it,
Speaker 1: like that was my one thing because I was just
Speaker 1: talking the whole night. But that was fine, didn't mind
Speaker 1: at all. Also had like one half of a champagne
Speaker 1: like that was my night and then I was just
Speaker 1: on the waters. So we did that first activity where
Speaker 1: everyone had to make a new friend. Then after I
Speaker 1: don't know how long it had been half an hour
Speaker 1: or whatever, Matt and I went back up onto the stage,
Speaker 1: and just every time we went up on the stage,
Speaker 1: it didn't matter what we said, like everyone just go fun.
Speaker 3: In that's like everyone having a good type.
Speaker 1: Like the room was just so loud, and then we
Speaker 1: were like, all right, everyone, we're gonna be moving into
Speaker 1: like the main event. So there was like three rooms
Speaker 1: all up for the whole event, which made it feel
Speaker 1: like really exciting and immersive, I feel, rather than just
Speaker 1: like the.
Speaker 3: Event being in one room the whole time.
Speaker 2: And so.
Speaker 1: We're like, all right, we're going to need some silence,
Speaker 1: and that we got the room really quiet, and we're like, okay,
Speaker 1: so what we're going to do now is we're going
Speaker 1: to move into the last room. And it's like a
Speaker 1: narrow corridor that we had to go through, so that's
Speaker 1: like single file, like double file too straight line, and
Speaker 1: we're going to follow Britt and we're going to go
Speaker 1: up the stairs into the last room. And on their
Speaker 1: way through into the last room, we had like all
Speaker 1: of our goodie bags set up on either side and
Speaker 1: they were all handed a goodie bag, and then we
Speaker 1: were like, you have to promise us, Like no one
Speaker 1: can open their goodie bag because we tied them up
Speaker 1: with a ribbon. So it was like this whole thing
Speaker 1: about like you have to promise. So it was like
Speaker 1: really building the hype of like what's in the goodie bags.
Speaker 1: And the thing that I loved is so we spoke
Speaker 1: and then I went out the job like hey, everyone
Speaker 1: followed me, and Matt and I kept our microphones on
Speaker 1: each other, but I went into like the other room
Speaker 1: while Matt stayed in the back room. But the microphones
Speaker 1: worked throughout the whole venue, so then Matt and I
Speaker 1: were like talking to each other through the microphones. It
Speaker 1: was just so funny, like Matt, where are you?
Speaker 2: What's going on here?
Speaker 3: I'm just letting everyone through. And then Abba came on.
Speaker 1: Dan Queen, so as everyone was coming through and getting
Speaker 1: their goodie bags, Dancing Queen came on, and then I
Speaker 1: just we both did a full karaoke jam sash with the.
Speaker 4: Microphones, like we're in two different really big spaces and
Speaker 4: like I'm ushering people out of one room Britney's ushering
Speaker 4: people into another room.
Speaker 3: Fully singing dance and then everyone got into it and it was
Speaker 3: like a little dance floor. It was just so viby.
Speaker 1: Then we finally got everyone into the main room and
Speaker 1: we got up on the stage again and then we
Speaker 1: did our massive Glazy reveals, so we had over two
Speaker 1: hundred people there with two hundred goodie bags, and then
Speaker 1: we had an Oprah moment, or Matt had his Oprah mot.
Speaker 2: I loved it. You get a glazy, you get a glazy.
Speaker 1: Open their goodie bag because there was a ribbon on top,
Speaker 1: and then when they looked in it again, they couldn't
Speaker 1: see what was in there because the glazies were in
Speaker 1: another like a velvet drawstring bag. So first we got
Speaker 1: them to take the ribbon off, and then they all
Speaker 1: had to like what's called in the air, and they're
Speaker 1: like waving the ribbon, and then they got their little
Speaker 1: red bag out and then they had to wave that
Speaker 1: in the air too, and they'd scream every time, and
Speaker 1: then we got them to finally open their bag and
Speaker 1: then everyone got their glazy and it was just like excite, exciting, scream.
Speaker 2: Glazers available right now by the way, you can go
Speaker 2: into because it's Friday.
Speaker 3: I wonder how the launch would have went. I don't
Speaker 3: know with this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have no expectations with Glazy, so you can
Speaker 1: go on if it hasn't sold out.
Speaker 3: But we don't know.
Speaker 1: But at this moment in time that we're recording this,
Speaker 1: we don't know, but we will know by the time
Speaker 1: this is out. So everyone got a Glazy, which is
Speaker 1: really exciting. Never done something like that before, you know,
Speaker 1: giving away two hundred of an unreleased product to customers,
Speaker 1: it's like really special.
Speaker 3: Then we did a game with the dice like six people.
Speaker 1: So then just when everyone was so excited after the
Speaker 1: Glazies were like, all right, and that's not it. There's
Speaker 1: six people in the room right now that have a
Speaker 1: red dice in the bottom of their bag.
Speaker 3: If that's you, come up the front.
Speaker 1: And then the funny thing was the Fate girls that
Speaker 1: had set up the goodie bags had accidentally put a
Speaker 1: seventh one. But we had this table with six prizes,
Speaker 1: so I guess that was the one thing that went wrong.
Speaker 3: But it was hilarious.
Speaker 1: We're like, all right, come on, you can come play too.
Speaker 1: We don't have a price for you though, but we'll
Speaker 1: sort you out kind of thing. So we just did
Speaker 1: a like rolling the dice game first person to roller five,
Speaker 1: then went over to the table and picked out a
Speaker 1: price and they were all wrapped like you couldn't tell
Speaker 1: what they were.
Speaker 3: So we did that.
Speaker 1: One of them won a pink eski full of pink
Speaker 1: v which was just so on brand and funny.
Speaker 2: And they were like Mecca prize packs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we bought like heaps of stuff from Mecca. I
Speaker 1: got a voucher from the huntera valley like for Peterson
Speaker 1: Champagne House, which, by the way, we bought all of
Speaker 1: those gifts, I just want to say, like they weren't
Speaker 1: given to us. Fate voucher was another one, a Glazy
Speaker 1: whole pack with all the hats and the makeup bags
Speaker 1: and everything in the three glazies, just lots of good prizes,
Speaker 1: like no one got a shit prize.
Speaker 2: And so there was that girl who was the seventh
Speaker 2: dice holder, Yes, and she didn't get a prize on
Speaker 2: the night. So what did you end up giving her.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: They she gave her email to like our Fate stuff,
Speaker 1: and I think they were gonna email her either on
Speaker 1: Friday or today, probably just like a voucher or something,
Speaker 1: or like so many fake clothing pieces.
Speaker 3: So that was fun.
Speaker 1: And then we had another little break and more food
Speaker 1: and dancing by this point.
Speaker 3: Where a few people having a really good time.
Speaker 2: Girls, some of you got drunk.
Speaker 1: Some people there's always a bunch, isn't there fair enough?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the bar's open and the year they'd
Speaker 2: have a good night.
Speaker 1: So they like started a dance floor, and then we
Speaker 1: came out at the very end and did the the raffle,
Speaker 1: like drew the raffle ticket out of the bowl, and
Speaker 1: we got Aj up to do that because Aj had
Speaker 1: had about eight drinks by that point. And I know
Speaker 1: when Aj has had drinks because he will speak into
Speaker 1: a microphone in front of a crowd like he wouldn't on.
Speaker 3: A normal day. So we called it.
Speaker 1: I love what you did, Matt, because we didn't like
Speaker 1: bring Aj up first.
Speaker 3: So Matt and I got up again. All right, who's
Speaker 3: ready for the raffle?
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah, And You're like, I think we need
Speaker 1: to get someone up here to help us to do this,
Speaker 1: and you're like looking out amongst the crowd, going should
Speaker 1: I pick, and you're pointing around to the crowd.
Speaker 2: Jumping up and down.
Speaker 1: So funny, like that was just so excited, and you're
Speaker 1: like looking around like trying to point of who to pick,
Speaker 1: and then you're like, a j there again everyone's screwed.
Speaker 3: Comes up and he's like, how's it rung up? That
Speaker 3: was so funny.
Speaker 1: Oh, so then AJ pulled the winning ticket. The winner
Speaker 1: came up, We brought out the novelty one thousand dollars
Speaker 1: big check, and then that was the last thing, and
Speaker 1: then we tried to get everyone out of it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I was getting it was nearly nine o'clock at
Speaker 1: that point, my.
Speaker 2: Croson and got in the car and did me drive
Speaker 2: all the way home.
Speaker 1: I stayed right until the end, until ten. And then
Speaker 1: I collected all the flowers because all the fake flower
Speaker 1: displays that we had around that looked real. Therefore our
Speaker 1: glazy in store displays, so we just like we use
Speaker 1: them because they look pretty. So I packed them up
Speaker 1: into the car and the rest was fucking history.
Speaker 2: Nice. We congrat such a fabulous event. It really was
Speaker 2: just so smooth, so fabulous.
Speaker 1: It was a thing went wrong. Everyone had a great
Speaker 1: time and hopefully.
Speaker 2: You get to do a lot more of them in
Speaker 2: the future.
Speaker 3: Yeah, hopefully I know where to next. And how can
Speaker 3: we fucking top that?
Speaker 1: Like I thought, there's not many venues that have like
Speaker 1: three whole separate rooms, Like it's such a unique venue.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like, yeah, how do we top that?
Speaker 1: But it was great. Matt made the night. It was
Speaker 1: great having Kate there. Kate dedicated shout out.
Speaker 3: She just didn't meet and read all night, didn't she
Speaker 3: just getting.
Speaker 2: Photos all night? I actually hardly saw her at all.
Speaker 2: I thought we'd spend all night together. She was too
Speaker 2: busy meeting all the girls and doing all the things. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was running around like a headless chook half the time.
Speaker 2: Where's the bloody mind? Where'd I put the mark? From
Speaker 2: where I put my champagne? I was probably the most
Speaker 2: chaos of the whole night.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just so so bloody good.
Speaker 2: You know, someone saw some videos of memceing and asked
Speaker 2: if I could m see their wedding and was like,
Speaker 2: whatever it's gonna cost, would you do it? Well, I
Speaker 2: mean money talks, but I just don't think. I think
Speaker 2: the pressure, no matter how much you paid me, I
Speaker 2: think the pressure of that being someone's big day. I
Speaker 2: couldn't have that weighing on my shoulder.
Speaker 1: I think that about photographers and videographers of weddings. What
Speaker 1: if the memory card goes corrupt.
Speaker 2: I have MC one wedding once for my cousin and
Speaker 2: that went fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think you could suck it up like
Speaker 1: you're natural.
Speaker 2: You never know, though, do you?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's a lot of pressure and I
Speaker 2: just don't think the money's worth it.
Speaker 1: But anyway, all in all, it was a fucking great
Speaker 1: night and a great three days. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: do it again for a while because that was a
Speaker 1: lot big rest.
Speaker 2: I'm in rest ere as well. I think we need
Speaker 2: a big rest, Dahl.
Speaker 1: We do need a big rest. But thank you to
Speaker 1: everyone who came. It was absolutely ten out of ten.
Speaker 1: Can't fault it. Nothing went wrong. It was so well
Speaker 1: worth it, and everyone left loving it gorgeous.
Speaker 2: Well that's another episode down and dusted.
Speaker 3: Why did I start saying that I love it?
Speaker 2: It's done in dusted and industed.
