Speaker 2: Britney Saunders and I'm all right, hey, and this is
Speaker 2: High Scrollers, the podcast version of your favorite group chat.
Speaker 1: If it's trending, going viral, or has your gripped, we're
Speaker 1: talking about.
Speaker 2: It coming up on this episode. Do you already know
Speaker 2: what I'm going to talk about this week? And if
Speaker 2: you don't, then you're probably behind. But I am about
Speaker 2: to have one of the most stressful weeks of my life.
Speaker 2: I'm going to be in a queue and I've been
Speaker 2: preparing for this for a long time, for literally years.
Speaker 2: It's been five years in the making or six years
Speaker 2: in the making. And I get quite passionate about this episode.
Speaker 2: So I'm sorry, you're gonna have to listen to me
Speaker 2: go on and on and on and on and on
Speaker 2: and on like I am right now. Yeah, But I'm
Speaker 2: just really passionate. I'm so excited to share my story
Speaker 2: with you and.
Speaker 1: An old TV favorite for a show that I once
Speaker 1: auditioned for and didn't get. Very embarrassing crush my Ego
Speaker 1: is coming back in its original format, and I'm very
Speaker 1: excited about it.
Speaker 2: Plus A J does something that is so rogue, but
Speaker 2: I think we're all going to be on board with.
Speaker 1: It's a bit illegal, I think.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I got my first fine over the weekend and
Speaker 2: we talk. That was a great chat, by the way,
Speaker 2: at the start of the episode. We're about to kick
Speaker 2: it off right now. We're about to get right into
Speaker 2: that chat right this second. So sit back, strap in, flick,
Speaker 2: clap front and back, honey, and deal me in. Double
Speaker 2: Let's go, let's hit record. Are we recording? What did
Speaker 2: you just say? What did I said?
Speaker 1: They're getting rid of stupid ticketless fines.
Speaker 2: For parking yep, and guess what what you got one?
Speaker 2: I got my first ever parking fine on Friday.
Speaker 1: Wait, your first ever parking fine in your life?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never had a parking pint. I have always
Speaker 2: paid for parking, no matter where it is. I'm a
Speaker 2: true believer in following the rules.
Speaker 1: I thought something funny to add to that. Okay, what
Speaker 1: so I'm the same. So here in Sydney at Nova
Speaker 1: we've spoken about this before, you have to do it
Speaker 1: the old school way, like you have to go up
Speaker 1: to the machine and fac and press a button a
Speaker 1: million times, whereas in Newcastle now we have the easy
Speaker 1: park app, which I also think is in Sydney as
Speaker 1: well in some areas, but like this council here where
Speaker 1: Nova is doesn't have that. So in Nui we literally
Speaker 1: just open the easy park app, turn up the dial, Boom,
Speaker 1: You're done. So I always pay for parking in Newcastle,
Speaker 1: for example, at our Fate store, the street that it's
Speaker 1: on that's paid parking. But Aj has a I don't
Speaker 1: know if I should say this, but he has a theory.
Speaker 1: He has never paid for.
Speaker 2: Parking, and his theory is that the fine will will
Speaker 2: be less.
Speaker 1: Than every time because we only are going to like
Speaker 1: that part of Newcastle when we're dropping into our Fate
Speaker 1: store or we're dropping into our cafe because then next
Speaker 1: to each other, so we're only ever going there for
Speaker 1: like an hour kind of thing. It's not like he's
Speaker 1: parking there every day all day, you know, and not paying.
Speaker 1: But he never ever pays, and he's only I think
Speaker 1: he's gotten two fines in the three years we've been
Speaker 1: there two and a half years, that like our cafe
Speaker 1: has been there, and he's like, I would have spent
Speaker 1: more on paying for parking every single time than the
Speaker 1: one hundred and something dollar fine that he's gotten. Too tough,
Speaker 1: and that's his theory. AJ is a rule breaker.
Speaker 2: Do you want to know what makes this so sickening?
Speaker 2: What this? You won't believe? What why I got the
Speaker 2: parking fine? So where were you in Bondai in Waverley
Speaker 2: Council which shout out to Waverley Council, and also, fuck you?
Speaker 1: Was it ticketless?
Speaker 2: No, it was a paid meter and then they had
Speaker 2: a QR code on the side to like do it
Speaker 2: on the app Okay. So I get there, I'm traffic
Speaker 2: was horrendous. I'm there for an appointment. The appointment is
Speaker 2: ten minutes long, and I'm like, I get there, I
Speaker 2: quickly park. I got up to the meter and like,
Speaker 2: I don't have any time for this. I'll take a
Speaker 2: photo of the QR code and I'll sort it out
Speaker 2: on the way to the appointment. Get to the appointment
Speaker 2: a few minutes late because of the traffic, and it
Speaker 2: was for an LED treatment, and basically they booked them
Speaker 2: so close together that like if you are late, you
Speaker 2: like can't have the full treatment. And I was like,
Speaker 2: it's all right, don't worry about like whatever, just do
Speaker 2: what you can. And I think I got like eight
Speaker 2: minutes out of it. So I left from my car
Speaker 2: to the appointment and back within ten minutes, only parked
Speaker 2: there for ten minutes. It would have cost me a
Speaker 2: dollar twenty and instead it cost me one hundred and
Speaker 2: thirty six dollars. And I was like, I know, I
Speaker 2: know I did the wrong thing, but I'm also like,
Speaker 2: I have never not paid for parking once in my life.
Speaker 2: There are people like ajut here scamming the system and
Speaker 2: constantly not paying for parking, which also I'm like, go
Speaker 2: for it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm like fuck the council, because yeah, what
Speaker 1: the fuck? We pay for enough and then you want
Speaker 1: to we have to pay to park on the fucking
Speaker 1: street with our car that we pay Reggio in that,
Speaker 1: we pay all this, that and the other fucking insurance,
Speaker 1: Like what else do you want to see for? So
Speaker 1: I kind of get where AJ's coming from, but.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, same, I wish I could be that person
Speaker 2: who doesn't pay for parking. I wish I could be
Speaker 2: that person, but I'm just not. I genuinely like always
Speaker 2: always parking.
Speaker 1: Sydney, I feel like you're gonna get caught more, Whereas
Speaker 1: like in Newcastle, it's a smaller city and like you
Speaker 1: see the rangers out but not as often kind of thing.
Speaker 1: So I feel like maybe that's why I think.
Speaker 2: I was also like not on a main route. I
Speaker 2: was down like a backstreet. There are only two car
Speaker 2: spots there, and I was like, maybe the right So
Speaker 2: my friends like, I reckon, he's around the corner and
Speaker 2: everyone just uses that as like a quick run in
Speaker 2: run out. Yeah, and he like knew about it. I
Speaker 2: don't know, but anyway, like, yes, I did the wrong thing,
Speaker 2: but I'm also allowed to be pissed off about it
Speaker 2: because I was absolutely God, I literally always do the
Speaker 2: right thing time I don't.
Speaker 1: When I get a fine, My thing is because I
Speaker 1: know it like puts a damper on your day, just
Speaker 1: like obviously if you've got the money, Like if you've
Speaker 1: got the money, my mentality is as soon as I
Speaker 1: get that ticket on my window, I get in the
Speaker 1: car and I pay it straight away. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: I scrunch it up and throw it out and then
Speaker 1: you can move on. Whereas you know how you get
Speaker 1: like time to pay it and fair enough if you
Speaker 1: want to put it on a payment plan or whatever.
Speaker 1: But if you've got the money to pay for the fine,
Speaker 1: my advice just pay it and move on, otherwise it
Speaker 1: will be a burden.
Speaker 2: What I was going straight after that to hang out
Speaker 2: with my friend, so I picked him up and I
Speaker 2: was like, Hi, I just got this fine. Can you
Speaker 2: pay it? Like, pay it on your bank account, you
Speaker 2: use your card, and then I gave him cash so
Speaker 2: I never have to see it on my statement. I
Speaker 2: never have to think about it again.
Speaker 1: That's smart as well.
Speaker 2: Even one step further, you know.
Speaker 1: One time in Newcastle, actually I will say, because I
Speaker 1: always pay on the easy park app. I was at
Speaker 1: my hairdressers, which you also have to pay for parking
Speaker 1: because it's in the CBD in town and I got
Speaker 1: a fine but I paid on the app.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was like, how the.
Speaker 1: Fucks I reckon? Sometimes their technology is in one hundred
Speaker 1: percent right, So then I had to like go on
Speaker 1: the fine thing and say like I did. Here's a
Speaker 1: screenshot from the app to show that I was parked
Speaker 1: there and paid, and then they just like canceled the
Speaker 1: fine straight away.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: So yeah. But anyway, I'm here for the fact that
Speaker 1: you have to get a ticket on your windscreen, because
Speaker 1: I don't know, some areas in Sydney or whatever you
Speaker 1: don't get a ticket on your windscreen. And I saw
Speaker 1: it on the news and apparently the revenue from the
Speaker 1: ticketless fines shot up by like I don't know how
Speaker 1: many million or tens of millions because they were so
Speaker 1: much quicker at giving people fines. And I've only gotten
Speaker 1: one here in the time that we've been doing this podcast,
Speaker 1: because there's like, you know how there's a two hour
Speaker 1: parking area here, and sometimes we say for more than
Speaker 1: two hours, and then I just go, oh fuck it.
Speaker 1: But now we found a little six hour spot near here,
Speaker 1: so we park there now. But I've only gotten one
Speaker 1: fine in the whole time we've been doing scrollers, So
Speaker 1: it was just a fine towards the pot.
Speaker 2: And I just felt like parking paying for parking is
Speaker 2: like one of those things that like we can get
Speaker 2: away with not doing, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like I don't I think people. Surely no one listening
Speaker 2: to this podcast is like, oh, how dare they not
Speaker 2: pay for one? Is that much of a loser that
Speaker 2: they are thinking like, Oh, aj'son a whole for not
Speaker 2: paying for parking. I think we all, collectively as a
Speaker 2: human race, are like paying for parking. But I will
Speaker 2: because I follow the rules. But if you don't, I'm
Speaker 2: okay with that, you know what.
Speaker 1: I mean saying like, I get it if you don't pay,
Speaker 1: because it's absolutely fucked. And same goes for tolls. But
Speaker 1: we've already had that conversation before. Please be upstanding for
Speaker 1: the Royal Flush.
Speaker 2: All right, it's time for our Royal Flush of the week,
Speaker 2: the best thing we've seen on the internet this week. Now.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to talk about mine, and I'm probably
Speaker 2: going to take up most of this episode talking about it, Brittany,
Speaker 2: So I need you to go first. What is your
Speaker 2: Royal Flush of the week? Please?
Speaker 1: Okay? Mine is? I Mean, mine's pretty basic, but I
Speaker 1: think it is really exciting and I hope that they're
Speaker 1: going to follow through with exactly what it is. Apparently
Speaker 1: apparently the original apparently the original Big Brother format is coming.
Speaker 2: Back, and thank god for that.
Speaker 1: I swear we have spoken about this, like in early
Speaker 1: days of High Scrollers, when we were talking about like
Speaker 1: going on reality shows, and we talked about how I
Speaker 1: auditioned for Big Brother back in the day and I
Speaker 1: didn't get him. Way to crush my fucking ego. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I saw something pop up on Facebook the other day
Speaker 1: and it said the original format of Big Brother is
Speaker 1: coming back, which is so fucking good because if you
Speaker 1: don't know, which I'm sure everyone does, for the last
Speaker 1: couple of years, Big Brother has been absolutely garbage. It
Speaker 1: has been a physical challenge game like Survivor. Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: it's physical fucking challenges, a survival of the fittest, and
Speaker 1: it's just not the same as what it used to be.
Speaker 1: And I think I'm so excited to hear this news
Speaker 1: because it says that Big Brother is listening to the viewers.
Speaker 1: Like everyone for years has been saying bring back the
Speaker 1: original format, like throw them in the house and let
Speaker 1: them socialize, Like we don't want it to be a
Speaker 1: strategical game. We just want it to be people hanging out,
Speaker 1: get fucking drunk, like doing Friday Night Live, like remember
Speaker 1: those Friday Night games or whatever.
Speaker 2: And it was so good like live evictions and nominations.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the rest of that now, it's just too technical
Speaker 1: and strategical, and I hate that it's physically challenging because
Speaker 1: what the fuck like just call it survivor then.
Speaker 2: And also overproduced. I think that's the biggest thing with
Speaker 2: why they kind of did it in advance is because
Speaker 2: they wanted to be able to put in that dramatic
Speaker 2: music and build up and create storylines almost like married
Speaker 2: at first sight, Like they need the entire season to like,
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know if they do or not,
Speaker 2: but pick a winner or pick who the audiences they
Speaker 2: think the audience is gonna love, which they always get wrong.
Speaker 1: With anything like that. Shit, you still love the old
Speaker 1: Big Brother because you were just quite literally watching people
Speaker 1: live day to day lives in the house and all
Speaker 1: the fun shit that they would do. Ye Like, I'm
Speaker 1: so excited by that, and I hope that if this
Speaker 1: is true, like I think it's coming out like that
Speaker 1: it's confirmed, yeah, like it was articles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no Channel ten have posted. So they do these
Speaker 2: I think they're called upfronts each year where they basically say,
Speaker 2: here are all our new shows, and here are all
Speaker 2: the shows that are returning and they go off with
Speaker 2: a bang.
Speaker 1: So whoever fucking got that ticked off a Channel ten
Speaker 1: they deserve Rais for sure.
Speaker 2: I've got a whole heap of others if you want
Speaker 2: to know about them. So they're also bringing back talking
Speaker 2: about your generation. Do you remember that they've got a
Speaker 2: new show called Ghosts Australia. Don't know what that is?
Speaker 2: The Inspired Unemployed a getting a second show called The List,
Speaker 2: there's one called Airport twenty four to seven, house Hunters, Staycation,
Speaker 2: and they're also bringing back a lot of their favorite shows, Arma, Celebrity,
Speaker 2: Get Me Out of Here is coming back and just
Speaker 2: setting Channel ten nah, very available. Survive I think I'd
Speaker 2: do Survivor just for the gargagital, even if only it
Speaker 2: lasted one episode. Like I'm a celebrity. I want to
Speaker 2: be there like the whole time and really enjoy the experience. Survivor,
Speaker 2: I'd like to just give it a gould be fucking hard,
Speaker 2: I know, but like you know, one or two days
Speaker 2: there's even a Survivor like almost kind of All Stars.
Speaker 2: I guess they're calling it Australia versus the World.
Speaker 1: You would have to be so fit to go on survivor,
Speaker 1: like the ones we have to hold themselves up on
Speaker 1: a rope, like I'd pick out in twenty seconds, you know,
Speaker 1: they stand there for like eight hours on one foot
Speaker 1: or some shit.
Speaker 2: Oh, I went out on the weekend and I I've
Speaker 2: woken up, sorry, I've woken up with like it feels
Speaker 2: like my entire body has been through a pilates class,
Speaker 2: Like I've from my party my arms.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I saw on your close friend's story that
Speaker 1: you were like swinging around in a case. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've realized.
Speaker 2: In the shower this morning, I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: I was swinging from the fucking root.
Speaker 1: And someone else was dressed up as do and they
Speaker 1: were like, it's so funny humping the top of your
Speaker 1: head at the top of the.
Speaker 2: Really that Star's best friends over anyone listening. We had
Speaker 2: Star's birthday on the weekend. I was dressed as Sharon
Speaker 2: from Kathy Kid on the weekend and yeah, that Dobby
Speaker 2: was there and who else? Y oh, so going back
Speaker 2: because we were talking about what I was going to
Speaker 2: dress up as and I wanted something a bit outside
Speaker 2: the box for that party. Glad I didn't go as
Speaker 2: the Mona Lisa someone else came as the Mona Lisa.
Speaker 2: There was someone else that oh I did consider Prue
Speaker 2: and Trude, and someone came as those two as well.
Speaker 2: And then there was of what am I trying to
Speaker 2: say here? Oh another last minute one that I had.
Speaker 2: One that I thought of was Nicky Webster at the
Speaker 2: two thousand Olympics, but then there was someone else dresses that.
Speaker 2: So Sharon was perfect because no one came as Sharon.
Speaker 1: I feel like it was a really easy costume. Too uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: I am not kidding you.
Speaker 1: Like, no makeup, just a shit wig and netball fucking icy.
Speaker 2: Sorted that out at four point thirty. Party started at five, No,
Speaker 2: sorry about three thirty. I sorted that out. Party started
Speaker 2: at five because I just kept changing my mind. I
Speaker 2: was going to be cath originally, but I couldn't do
Speaker 2: her justice, So I was going to the Salvos and
Speaker 2: things like that. Vinnie's trying to find, like, you know,
Speaker 2: one of her ugly jumpers, couldn't find one anywhere, and
Speaker 2: I was like, if I don't like, do it justice.
Speaker 2: Also glad I didn't go as ray Gun because there
Speaker 2: were three of them. Ah, So yeah, I went to
Speaker 2: Big w got that skirt, which was so tight. By
Speaker 2: the way, netball skirts are quite flattering. That was a
Speaker 2: size sixteen. I'm like, I don't even know what size
Speaker 2: I am, but I'm not a size sixteen. I'm a
Speaker 2: lot bigger than that. So the size sixteen was cutting
Speaker 2: into me all night. But because it's a netball skirt,
Speaker 2: it's kind of looks more flattering and hides the it
Speaker 2: was hiding, like literally cutting off my circulation at the stomach. Anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was camp. What we were we saying, Oh, Master,
Speaker 2: Chef's doing All Stars as well, there you go, Chef's
Speaker 2: doing All Stars, Taskmaster or another uninspired on employed show,
Speaker 2: another one. God is anyone watching those?
Speaker 1: No, I don't really for me, Honestly, I don't really
Speaker 1: get them.
Speaker 2: Neither.
Speaker 1: But they have done extremely well obviously, grab their fucking
Speaker 1: beer and everything.
Speaker 2: The cheap seats. Thank god you're here.
Speaker 1: I fucking love that show. Would you go and thank
Speaker 1: God you're here?
Speaker 2: I would love to, but I don't think I would.
Speaker 2: I crack under pressure a little bit.
Speaker 1: Sometimes the like old clips pop up on my TikTok,
Speaker 1: and fuck some of them are so funny, but I
Speaker 1: think you should go on it. Matt. I think I
Speaker 1: would almost go on it.
Speaker 2: I'm just improv can go one of two ways, and
Speaker 2: I just don't feel confident enough to.
Speaker 1: But you just go along with the story whatever you
Speaker 1: get thrown into. I feel like, and they all laugh anyway.
Speaker 2: Sometimes they put funny like they say funny one liners,
Speaker 2: and I'm like that thought wouldn't even enter my brain.
Speaker 1: If that situation, it would be hard to not just laugh.
Speaker 2: God, they've got so many shows, deal or no deal.
Speaker 2: I'd go on that because imagine the cashpoint.
Speaker 1: I'm still upset.
Speaker 2: Is that a channel? Channel Channel?
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's on every afternoon at five o'clock,
Speaker 1: That's all I know, and I'm there every afternoon watching
Speaker 1: I would.
Speaker 2: Love the Chase on Big Chase Fan. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: goggle Boxes coming back. Would love to do that.
Speaker 1: All me and you on goggle Box.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Iconic NCIS.
Speaker 1: Get us on that too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Project, Oh god, geez, they've got so many they're.
Speaker 1: A bit busy over at Channel ten.
Speaker 2: They're very busy. But yeah, goggle Box would be fun.
Speaker 2: But I'm always curious. I think, how do these people
Speaker 2: who are on goggle Box actually have a life? Because
Speaker 2: the cameras seem to always be there because they're in
Speaker 2: different outfits.
Speaker 1: They've got different times that they're going to be sitting
Speaker 1: down and watching.
Speaker 2: It, right, But imagine committing to that every single week.
Speaker 2: We can't even commit to a podcast time every week.
Speaker 2: We're changing the podcast everywhere. Or it's ten thirty in
Speaker 2: the morning, eleven forty five. Next week, we're at nine,
Speaker 2: next week, we're at two, next time, we're on Thursday.
Speaker 1: See, but I think they're not watching it as the
Speaker 1: show's live on TV. I reckon, they've got a filming hour.
Speaker 1: It could be nine am in the morning, and they
Speaker 1: play them the shows on the TV, not at the
Speaker 1: time that everyone else is actually watching it. Yeah, are
Speaker 1: going to be like structured days.
Speaker 2: So let's go on side note because you have just
Speaker 2: said something that absolutely irks me. What you just said.
Speaker 2: It could be nine am in the morning to nine
Speaker 2: am in the nighttime, is it?
Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking, Oh I didn't even say good morning
Speaker 1: at the start. It's all gone wrong.
Speaker 2: And it's not even morning anymore. So you can't oh
Speaker 2: at six am in the morning. I'm like, yes, of course.
Speaker 1: It is, because it makes more sense to say that
Speaker 1: rather than six.
Speaker 2: Am, but I don't think it does.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what you mean. Look, I wasn't thinking
Speaker 1: when I just said that, and I'm really sorry. Please
Speaker 1: forgive me.
Speaker 2: I will forgive you, but I just need to six
Speaker 2: pm in the evening. Same story.
Speaker 1: I don't think I would ever say six pm in
Speaker 1: the evening, right, I say six o'clock at night, But
Speaker 1: then I don't know why I said nine am in
Speaker 1: the morning, seven am waking up in the morning.
Speaker 2: Anyway. The point is, I forget where we were going
Speaker 2: with any of this. My Royal flush is big brother,
Speaker 2: yeah right, but there was something else we were just
Speaker 2: talking about as well.
Speaker 1: Us going on Gogle goggle Box. Yeah, channel ten if
Speaker 1: you're listening, just give.
Speaker 2: Me something at this point, just do something. I'm sitting
Speaker 2: here hung with like a dog. Should just get myself
Speaker 2: on TV and do something, you know. And the only
Speaker 2: bloody time I've been on TV this year was to
Speaker 2: be on the news to talk about fucking fifty dollars
Speaker 2: notes and how cash has changed my life. And it
Speaker 2: has and I still stand by it, and I'm still
Speaker 2: using cash. I'm loving it, but fucking hell, can I
Speaker 2: have a little bit of just something? Give me a crumb.
Speaker 2: I'll go on. I'll go on the fucking Inspired Unemployed Show.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just I'm here. I'm willing, and
Speaker 2: then you see some of that. Okay, I can't go on.
Speaker 2: Look I I'm not ranting today. I'm not ranting today.
Speaker 1: But we are in Nova Studios and I can get
Speaker 1: a window, and Channel ten is right there, like the
Speaker 1: big fucking circle with ten in it. I'm sure these
Speaker 1: people in this building can go next door and say, hey,
Speaker 1: look at these two talented people like get us and
Speaker 1: gig on neighbors.
Speaker 2: I don't care what single Monday channel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're here anyway. We could just pop in and
Speaker 1: record a scene of some sort. Do they want us
Speaker 1: to do an audition? I will honestly after this, let's.
Speaker 2: Go get us on neighbors. Who we could play on?
Speaker 2: Who could we play on? Neighbors?
Speaker 1: I would like to come in and play like the
Speaker 1: bitchy villain.
Speaker 2: You recurin the Bitch Wow?
Speaker 1: What character would you.
Speaker 2: Be the hot straight love interest of all the over
Speaker 2: forty year old women in Ramsey Street?
Speaker 1: Right, you would play a straight guy?
Speaker 2: Of course I would. I don't know what I do.
Speaker 1: I want to come in as the villain. Then everyone
Speaker 1: will actually hate you in real life if you're really
Speaker 1: good at actually you know, but I'd still do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nice, Well Big Brothers coming back? Would you go
Speaker 2: on Big Brother at this point in your career? Of
Speaker 2: course you wouldn't blow yourself to that standard. But I
Speaker 2: mean Channel ten, we love you and we'll take anything.
Speaker 1: Maybe you and I could go in as intruder as
Speaker 1: for like a small little segment.
Speaker 2: Let us host Friday night games.
Speaker 1: Yeah maybe that. Maybe instead of going in the house,
Speaker 1: we will host it again Nova. What the fuck you
Speaker 1: guys have connections here or I hate in Britney Saunder's
Speaker 1: host of Friday Night Games of Big Brother is a
Speaker 1: NOVA presenter. Well, we've got connections, got connections storming over
Speaker 1: there after this record.
Speaker 2: Yeah, here we go.
Speaker 1: We're doing our audition. But now I wouldn't go on
Speaker 1: Big Brother only because I'm too busy.
Speaker 2: I would because I'd like the holiday. The thing is
Speaker 2: just annoys me that they've got to see me naked,
Speaker 2: like the fact there's a camera in the toilet and
Speaker 2: I got to take a.
Speaker 1: Shit too much like a period like and they're watching
Speaker 1: you change fucking tampoons and I.
Speaker 2: Don't think they are watching.
Speaker 1: I think it's just would bear No.
Speaker 2: I just think it's there to monetize, like they probably
Speaker 2: watch you go in and if two people go in
Speaker 2: the toilet at the Hanky like.
Speaker 1: That explosive diary, which I often do.
Speaker 2: So it's like I just can't have people having access
Speaker 2: to that footage. And I know with the television industry,
Speaker 2: that footage will never be erased like in It's not
Speaker 2: like when the season ends they delete all the footage
Speaker 2: of people on the toilet that is still on the
Speaker 2: hard drives at Channel ten from twenty years ago, all
Speaker 2: of the Big Brother contestions taking their shits, It is
Speaker 2: still in the backlog somewhere someone's got. You know, with
Speaker 2: these shows, what they do is it's actually someone's or
Speaker 2: there's a team of people's jobs to actually write out
Speaker 2: every single thing that happens and is said.
Speaker 1: I'm sure AI would replace that now, oh.
Speaker 2: Potentially, but I mean AI can go wrong. You've seen
Speaker 2: closed captions on the TV and they stuff up.
Speaker 1: The words and things.
Speaker 2: I don't know when you try and put it Instagram story.
Speaker 2: But like twenty years ago, let's say they actually had
Speaker 2: a team of people who would have to write down
Speaker 2: basically an entire script, almost like one of those people
Speaker 2: in a courtroom that takes all the information down for well,
Speaker 2: there's like a log of that for every clip that
Speaker 2: has ever been filmed for any reality show ever. And
Speaker 2: so Big Brother, not only do you have the footage
Speaker 2: of you taking a shit, you then have someone saying
Speaker 2: Matt walked to the bathroom and was in the bathroom
Speaker 2: for twenty four minutes and had explosive diarrhea. I don't
Speaker 2: know how descriptive they get, but like that's on file
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: Well. Either way, I'm just really keen that if it
Speaker 1: actually happens, I can't wait for us to host Friday
Speaker 1: night games. I'm manifesting that right now. That's fine.
Speaker 2: I'm scrunching my face up and shaking my head. There's
Speaker 2: no fucking way.
Speaker 1: Why not.
Speaker 2: There's no way they would get us. Why nah, I
Speaker 2: don't see that happening. We've got to be realistic about it.
Speaker 2: I mean, they've thrown less relevant people on celebrity shows
Speaker 2: before exactly, so I can understand being a contestant, but
Speaker 2: hosting Friday night games, I don't know about it. I
Speaker 2: think that's a stretch.
Speaker 1: I think that's a limiting belief. Okay, fair enough, that's
Speaker 1: my royal flush. What's yours?
Speaker 2: Well, I think it'll come as no surprise to anyone
Speaker 2: that my royal flush of the week is Kylie Minogue
Speaker 2: announcing her Tension World tour.
Speaker 1: And can I ask you a question on that? On
Speaker 1: your story like the night over or whatever. It's like
Speaker 1: quarter to midnight at night.
Speaker 2: Quarter to eleven pm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you put on your story. I have a feeling
Speaker 1: that Kylie is going to announce a tour in fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2: No, my spidy senses were tingling because I was scouring
Speaker 2: the internet right so, basically when she posted about the album,
Speaker 2: so this royal flush is two parts she released, she
Speaker 2: posted saying that a new album was coming Tension too.
Speaker 2: Tensions the name of her last album, arguably one of
Speaker 2: her best albums ever. I loved it was so cohesive,
Speaker 2: it was so fantastic. I was like, I felt like
Speaker 2: a proud son hearing that for the first time. Now
Speaker 2: she's releasing Tension two with like a bonus extra nine
Speaker 2: tracks that we haven't heard or something like that in October,
Speaker 2: week before my birthday. Thank you. And then she said
Speaker 2: but wait, there's more now. The day before she'd also
Speaker 2: posted that there was there was like a cryptic video
Speaker 2: of her and there was a like world map in
Speaker 2: the background with all of these cities like colored in.
Speaker 2: So I knew that the World Tool was coming. So
Speaker 2: then she's announced it. I actually thought the World Tool
Speaker 2: was coming, but then the album announcement came and I
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, we're getting an album, not
Speaker 2: a world tour. But then at the end it said
Speaker 2: stay tuned for more, and there was like a world emoji,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, there's a there's a tour coming. So
Speaker 2: then I correlated that with the time zones in the UK,
Speaker 2: which is where she's based for the majority of the time.
Speaker 2: So the prime time you would imagine it's like seven,
Speaker 2: eight PM or whatever, and I forget exactly what it was,
Speaker 2: but eleven pm lined up with that, and I was
Speaker 2: just taking a real step in the dark, to be honest.
Speaker 1: But I was like, ah, so you're a bit psychic.
Speaker 2: Because then I'm on tickeer Tech and I'm on so
Speaker 2: this is this was the kicker on the tickeer Tech website.
Speaker 2: The Kylie wait list page had been taken down and
Speaker 2: so then it was funny actually because literally she didn't
Speaker 2: announce until like thirteen minutes past, and I had already
Speaker 2: found on Frontier Touring and tick a Tech. They'd already
Speaker 2: put up all the information, so I knew all the dates.
Speaker 2: I had them all locked in the calendar, and here
Speaker 2: we go. It's all happening. But I'm very nervous, And
Speaker 2: I did say I would explain on high Scrollers this week,
Speaker 2: the story behind why this is so significant and this
Speaker 2: is my Heiress tour is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Oh, it was like, I always so fascinated with you
Speaker 1: what like, and I want to know if any scrollers
Speaker 1: are with me on this the way that you are
Speaker 1: so passionate about musicians, I couldn't. I can't relate, Like
Speaker 1: I couldn't be more different. I want to know, Like
Speaker 1: it makes me feel like, oh, should I be this way?
Speaker 1: Like I don't idolize any artist, And I'm like, am
Speaker 1: I the only person in the world that's like that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think so? Am I I think so? I
Speaker 2: think everyone idolizer someone to some extent.
Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah, Like I don't idolize a single person
Speaker 1: in a way that I would be like invested and
Speaker 1: the way that you're like invested in albums and all
Speaker 1: this and that, like I don't know fucking shit, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just hear songs on the radio.
Speaker 2: I think you're just delusional. I think most people have
Speaker 2: someone who they would sell their soul to go and see.
Speaker 1: Like, Okay, we're gonna have to ask this in our
Speaker 1: broadcast channel because I feel so like, am I the
Speaker 1: only person that feels this way?
Speaker 2: I honestly think you are like producer Hannah, like, you've
Speaker 2: surely got someone who, like you, would sell your own
Speaker 2: child to go and see or meet or have dinner
Speaker 2: with or whatever. Do you know what I mean? Lady Gaga,
Speaker 2: right there you go, she's up there for me as well.
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not like that with anyone. What's wrong
Speaker 1: with me?
Speaker 2: I don't know. There's a lot we don't have trying
Speaker 2: to get into all of that. But Kylie, this is
Speaker 2: why this is so significant for me. So obviously I
Speaker 2: love Kylie my entire life. She was such a big
Speaker 2: part of my growing up as well. I think, like
Speaker 2: we've spoken about growing up before, you grew up with
Speaker 2: like your parents playing music that they're influenced you, whereas yes,
Speaker 2: I didn't. I wasn't really a music household.
Speaker 1: Neither were we. But the other time was it like barbecues.
Speaker 2: And shit right and Tom Jones was playing.
Speaker 1: Tom Jones and Robbie Williams.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, my mom did love Robbie williamsysh. But I
Speaker 2: fell in love with Kylie and it was like the
Speaker 2: first concert I went to was Kylie and my parents
Speaker 2: took me.
Speaker 1: When I was like, this is where my problem comes from,
Speaker 1: Like we never I never see I never went to
Speaker 1: a concert, like. I wasn't brought up loving music in
Speaker 1: that way. So I think that's where my whole thing
Speaker 1: comes from, of like I don't idolize anyone, Yeah, because
Speaker 1: I never fucking experienced it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so as a child, like Kylie was number
Speaker 2: one now obviously growing up, I didn't have any money
Speaker 2: to like go to her concerts and things like things
Speaker 2: like that. Then when I was old enough, she did
Speaker 2: the Aphrodity Tour, which is arguably the best stage production
Speaker 2: tour from any pop star of all time. If you
Speaker 2: haven't seen it, anything I wanted was that your research?
Speaker 2: I think it was around like twenty eleven, twenty twelve,
Speaker 2: maybe twent thirteen, can't really remember, but it was around
Speaker 2: that time, and basically it was like a circusoleat show
Speaker 2: in the fact that she had this big runway with
Speaker 2: a splash sewn in the middle of it. She had
Speaker 2: water cannons throwing water all over the audience and all
Speaker 2: over the stage, and it honestly was like a masterpiece
Speaker 2: of the production value and level was just crazy. For
Speaker 2: that reason, the tickets were so expensive. I mean, her
Speaker 2: b reserve ticket for example for her upcoming tour is
Speaker 2: like two hundred dollars. I remember the cheapest ticket you
Speaker 2: could get back then in twenty twelve was more than
Speaker 2: two hundred dollars. I think it was two hundred and
Speaker 2: nineteen dollars, which so back then that amount of money
Speaker 2: was just like so crazy. And I was fresh out
Speaker 2: of high school, unemployed, blah blah blah, didn't have any money,
Speaker 2: couldn't go. It is like one of my I don't
Speaker 2: regret much in life, but I regret not getting my
Speaker 2: shit together and begging and stealing and doing whatever I
Speaker 2: can to go to that tour because it it's like
Speaker 2: it hurts that I didn't get to go. Since then,
Speaker 2: I've been to every other tour she's come out to,
Speaker 2: but I've always been so broke that I haven't been
Speaker 2: able to afford like a good seat. Like I went
Speaker 2: to one of her concepts and I genuinely was in
Speaker 2: the back row of Kudos Bank Arena, like the wall
Speaker 2: was behind me and there was not a single other person.
Speaker 2: Like I did that with Beyonce as well, Like I
Speaker 2: was like, as long as I'm in the room, like
Speaker 2: I'll be happy. And then her most recent to a
Speaker 2: Golden I again was kind of towards the back, and
Speaker 2: then I went in the Hunter Valley as well. She
Speaker 2: did like an outdoor kind of winery vibe, yeah, which
Speaker 2: was really nice, but I just was so far back
Speaker 2: that I was like, I'm enjoying myself, but also like
Speaker 2: I just wish I could see a wrinkle on her face.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And what you're saying is you're gonna try and
Speaker 1: get front row tickets, babes.
Speaker 2: I've had this plan since I think that was twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2: I went and saw her last for the Golden Tour,
Speaker 2: and I said to myself, I am creating a savings account,
Speaker 2: especially for Kylie Minogue tickets. I don't care how crazy
Speaker 2: and stupid that sounds, but I am putting all this money,
Speaker 2: and I was like, I want to I want to
Speaker 2: put ten grand in it. I want to get to
Speaker 2: ten brand because I was like, because I was like,
Speaker 2: I don't care how much a ticket is, Like, if
Speaker 2: a ticket is five thousand dollars, it's some of the ticket.
Speaker 1: It's going to be that much.
Speaker 2: I'm paying that money. That's just where my brain is, bape,
Speaker 2: that's where my brain is. Just stick along first story. Sorry,
Speaker 2: I'm doing a Britney story. I'm real dragging it out.
Speaker 2: So I was like, I got to get to ten
Speaker 2: thousand dollars. Well, I got to about four thousand dollars
Speaker 2: and then the pandemic hit, so the bank account was
Speaker 2: drained and I had no money again. And I was like, well,
Speaker 2: that's all right, Carly's not too run anyway, so we
Speaker 2: don't need that money right now. We'll go on our
Speaker 2: job seeker. Thank you, send a length ride and skymo
Speaker 2: for a little bit, and away we go. And then
Speaker 2: after COVID, I was able to bump the savings back
Speaker 2: up a little bit, and then I ended up getting
Speaker 2: my ten thousand dollars in the savings account. A couple
Speaker 2: of years ago, which is fabulous, and it was good
Speaker 2: because I wasn't leaving the house. And then since that's
Speaker 2: been there, I haven't been touching it. I haven't touched it,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, because I'm like, that's that's
Speaker 2: for Kylie. So I was I was ones stay expecting
Speaker 2: her to do like a VIP meet and greet full package,
Speaker 2: like two and a half grand, and I was like, great,
Speaker 2: I'll be able to go to one shot and sort
Speaker 2: it out. The most extensive ticket is eight.
Speaker 1: Hundred dollars and it's not meet and green.
Speaker 2: No, it's not mean and greed. But that's okay. I
Speaker 2: understand that because still post pandemic, like they probably don't
Speaker 2: want to be meeting people in case they've got to
Speaker 2: cancel shows if they get sick, Like I'm sure they'll
Speaker 2: wear masks everywhere and all the rest of that, the
Speaker 2: protocols would be through the roof. But I just think
Speaker 2: it's hilarious that I now have like all this extra
Speaker 2: money that I didn't need to save this entire time.
Speaker 2: And so I'm like, well, I'm doing the VIP meet
Speaker 2: and greet, and I mean, she's not doing a meet
Speaker 2: and greet. Sorry, I'm doing the vip Padam package. That's
Speaker 2: what it's called the Paduna Dum package. And then I'm
Speaker 2: going to multiple shows. This is my Eras tour. And
Speaker 2: I don't feel guilty about this one because.
Speaker 1: This is why you should feel guilty. I get it
Speaker 1: because people miss out. But also that's just fucking life,
Speaker 1: so true. I don't care about that when people don't
Speaker 1: win something or whatever and they're like, oh no, like
Speaker 1: that's just the way the cookie fucking crumbles.
Speaker 2: If you ask me, I agree. But yes, I understand
Speaker 2: why people would get upset about RAS tour. I think
Speaker 2: that's like a different kurdle of fish, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: But also like, if you want to get tickets to
Speaker 1: multiple shows, fucking and you managed to get them, good on.
Speaker 2: You, and I will be. I have cleared my entire
Speaker 2: schedule for this week. We've got tickets going on sale Tuesday,
Speaker 2: We've got tickets going on south Thursday, We've got tickets
Speaker 2: going on so I think next Wednesday. I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's all in the last year.
Speaker 1: In February or March.
Speaker 2: March, I might go, would you like to come with me?
Speaker 2: Because I actually get well, we're gonna get a ticket
Speaker 2: with me I've got to sit together, would be one
Speaker 2: hundred dollars one I'm buying too anyway, But I've got
Speaker 2: no one to go with because it's on the same
Speaker 2: night as Marty Gras, which you've never been to anyway,
Speaker 2: so won't hurt you to not go again. So great? Okay,
Speaker 2: Oh hang on. My brain's reeling now, all right, because
Speaker 2: I was only prepared to get one ticket for tomorrow
Speaker 2: because I also thought one ticket would probably guarantee me
Speaker 2: more of a front chance for a front row seat.
Speaker 1: No, you're getting two now, okay?
Speaker 2: All right. Well, I'm also doing Brisbane if you feel
Speaker 2: like flying up there with me, and I'm doing Melbourne
Speaker 2: as well. So we've got many.
Speaker 1: We got plenty of whatever. I'll come to one.
Speaker 2: No, I'm doing all of them. I'm going on and
Speaker 2: you'll leave for two weeks. No one will see me.
Speaker 2: I'm in Kylie Mo.
Speaker 1: Wait. What do people wear to a Kylie Mino concert?
Speaker 2: Is it like Taylor spoo bikles?
Speaker 1: It's like Taylor speeds but not as much?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Wedgehn wedge biker biker jacket? You know, depends what
Speaker 2: era you want to go as, what era of Kylie,
Speaker 2: you want to go. But anyway, the royal flush of
Speaker 2: the week is obviously that her two is coming, and
Speaker 2: I just need everybody to manifest keep me in your
Speaker 2: thoughts this week. I will obviously be giving you updates
Speaker 2: in the broadcast channel on my stories of whether I
Speaker 2: have got the tickets or not. You'll know, Babes, either way,
Speaker 2: You'll know.
Speaker 1: Because the reaction one to try and get.
Speaker 2: One, none of that. If there's no If they go,
Speaker 2: I don't care who I have to hold up at Nova,
Speaker 2: but I I am shutting. This place is on lockdown
Speaker 2: till I get a Kyli Minoak ticket, okay. And half
Speaker 2: of me is like, as long as I'm in the room,
Speaker 2: that's fine. But also I'm like, no, I want front
Speaker 2: fucking row every single city I go to. And then
Speaker 2: there's one night I'm gonna go with my friends and
Speaker 2: we're gonna see in b Reserve. It's gonna kill me
Speaker 2: to be all the way back there again, but we're
Speaker 2: going as a friend group, all six of us to
Speaker 2: go see Kyler Minoa, which I just love and I'm
Speaker 2: really really excited about the whole thing. But what I
Speaker 2: will say is I know, okay, can I just go
Speaker 2: quickly on another tangent. I know that it's so fucking
Speaker 2: ridiculous to spend this money in this day and age,
Speaker 2: in a cost of living crisis. No, let me say this.
Speaker 1: I'm just having a quick LOLLI yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like you don't understand. I just don't think.
Speaker 2: If you get it, you get it, and if you don't,
Speaker 2: you don't. If you know, you know, if you don't,
Speaker 2: you know, and if you don't, I feel sorry for
Speaker 2: you because this Not only have I been say for
Speaker 2: years for this moment, the fact that I saved so
Speaker 2: much more than I needed to. I could have been
Speaker 2: spending that money elsewhere all these years, but I have.
Speaker 2: I have left that there. Even when I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: I should probably take some money out of that and
Speaker 2: you know, pay for the car Red Joe or whatever
Speaker 2: it might be, I go, n gotta keep it there,
Speaker 2: because I always thought to myself, as soon as I
Speaker 2: take two grand out to pay my carb Red Joe,
Speaker 2: that's when the tickets will come and I won't have
Speaker 2: enough money for it. So I'm like, no, let's just
Speaker 2: leave it there. We need We've done the budget, and
Speaker 2: now it's crazy, Like I feel crazy but I'm also like, no,
Speaker 2: you know what, this is gonna be the best experience
Speaker 2: of my life.
Speaker 1: You need money for hotel and everything if you're going
Speaker 1: to all the other ones.
Speaker 2: Exactly, And you know what, time I've always said it,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say it again. This is a lesson for
Speaker 2: all of you out there. Time is more important than money.
Speaker 2: Time is so much more valuable than money. And my
Speaker 2: time is better spent front rower at Carlimno concert five
Speaker 2: times over over the course of two weeks, traveling around
Speaker 2: the country following her, because you know that memory will
Speaker 2: stay with me forever. I can always make more money.
Speaker 2: We can always get another sponsorship, can't we, Hannah, get
Speaker 2: another podcast sponsorship for me? That money will come back
Speaker 2: another day. But I'm happy to release those funds to
Speaker 2: the universe to in exchange for that time with Kylie
Speaker 2: Minogue because nothing is as valuable as that, you know.
Speaker 1: What I mean? Yeah, no seriousness, I completely agree with that.
Speaker 2: We are never guaranteed more time in life, No, but
Speaker 2: we can always make more money. Could always be able
Speaker 2: to make more money somewhere else. If everything went away today,
Speaker 2: I know that I could go and get a job
Speaker 2: and get more money tomorrow I could, if you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. Like, we can always make more money,
Speaker 2: but no one's guaranteed more time in life, so I
Speaker 2: want to spend my money to enjoy my time. Anyway, Sorry,
Speaker 2: this episode has just been me talking about Kylie Minogue
Speaker 2: and I hope you've all enjoyed that. But I hope
Speaker 2: you've heard my passion and you understand what this means
Speaker 2: to me. And the fact that's like her best hour
Speaker 2: yet Oh no it's not, but it's up there. It's
Speaker 2: up there with one of my favorite albums of hers,
Speaker 2: so I'm like excited. And the fact she's kicking it
Speaker 2: off in Australia. Okay, so that's what I'm really excited about.
Speaker 1: When I saw the graphic thing, I saw a Newcastle, Like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, yeah, Newcastle. I'm wait, that's in fucking
Speaker 1: the UK. I'm so excited that she just come to
Speaker 1: the Newcastle Entertainment Center. See. I can't relate to you
Speaker 1: on like being obsessed with celebrities, but I can get
Speaker 1: behind going to a concert and having a really good time.
Speaker 1: So I will come with you if you want to
Speaker 1: get me a ticket. Okay, I'll transfer to you.
Speaker 2: Okay, Thanks, I'm excited. I'm going to sort that out
Speaker 2: for us tomorrow, fingers crassed.
Speaker 1: Can we go to the Saturday night one?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the one that's the Mardi gra one. So
Speaker 2: no one can come with me that night, go by myself.
Speaker 1: I don't have to take ann your leave. I'll just
Speaker 1: be there. Well, I'm going to take the stage for
Speaker 1: a little moment. You're better, Yeah, because you've had your
Speaker 1: time to shine. I wanted to talk to you about
Speaker 1: it last week, but then we just I don't even
Speaker 1: know what we fucking spoke about last week too much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but just wrapping up this episode was something fun that
Speaker 1: we are doing at Fate, which if you follow me
Speaker 1: on social media or Fate or you're in our Fate
Speaker 1: Society Facebook group, you will already know this. But it's
Speaker 1: really exciting and full circle moment for me. We are
Speaker 1: doing a brand trip for Fate. You know how you
Speaker 1: see all the trips and the Tart tripping with Tart
Speaker 1: and all that I went on those back in the day. Well,
Speaker 1: we're doing a brand trip for Fate, our first one ever.
Speaker 1: But instead of taking influences, we're taking customers. So we're
Speaker 1: currently doing a giveaway it closes at the end of
Speaker 1: this month and the last day of this month. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's a thirtieth or thirty first, but
Speaker 1: all you have to do to enter is I mean,
Speaker 1: you can go on our website. There's information about it
Speaker 1: on there, but you have to place an order on Fate.
Speaker 1: Any order doesn't matter. There's no minimum spend, and you
Speaker 1: have to use the ten percent off discount code Lucky
Speaker 1: seven because we're taking seven Lucky customers on a brand
Speaker 1: trip with us. And when we were organizing this, it's
Speaker 1: for our seventh birthday by the way, because it's Fate
Speaker 1: turns seven this month, we were like, where do we
Speaker 1: take them? They're like, oh, do we go the Gold Coast,
Speaker 1: like there's heaps to do there? Were like, noh, fuck it,
Speaker 1: let's do it in Newcastle. So we're treating everyone to
Speaker 1: a getaway in Newcastle, which I know some people are
Speaker 1: probably like, oh, what's there to do there? There's actually
Speaker 1: so many cool things to do a Newcastle.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: We even have five style hotels now nice believe it
Speaker 1: or not, we already booked the seven hotel rooms. We
Speaker 1: have no idea who's going to stay there. And you're
Speaker 1: literally going to be treated like influencers. Like, you know,
Speaker 1: you get there and the beds all set up, the
Speaker 1: bathroom's all set up. I feel like when I used
Speaker 1: to go on brand trips back in the day, in
Speaker 1: my youtubing days, I would often look at those trips
Speaker 1: and look at all the elements of it, and you know,
Speaker 1: when you get to your room and it's all set
Speaker 1: up beautifully and everything's personalized, I would look at it
Speaker 1: and go, wow, like, this is so cool that this
Speaker 1: brand can do something like this and bring people on
Speaker 1: the trip. So I feel like I'm just like reliving
Speaker 1: that but in a different way, and it's just really
Speaker 1: full circle for me. So if you haven't checked out
Speaker 1: the giveaway, there's a real on my page. It's on
Speaker 1: our website and join our Fate Society Facebook group if
Speaker 1: you want to be part of it. And I'm just
Speaker 1: so excited for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so cool. I actually I'm surprised there hasn't
Speaker 2: been like a bit more like media attention or something
Speaker 2: or more people haven't been talking about the fact that
Speaker 2: you're doing this, because I feel like everyone has said
Speaker 2: this for years. Minor brands take influences, they should take
Speaker 2: their customers buy stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm sure once we are doing the trip, which will
Speaker 1: make a lot of content out of then people will
Speaker 1: talk about it more as well when they actually see
Speaker 1: the event. But yeah, it's just why the fuck not?
Speaker 1: And you're right, like over the years, like back when
Speaker 1: we were in our YouTube days and those tripping with
Speaker 1: tart things and two face trips, like they were all
Speaker 1: the rage and the influencers went. But like those brands
Speaker 1: still do that now, but I feel like when they
Speaker 1: do it, all the comments are like, this is so
Speaker 1: out of touch. But did you see it was a
Speaker 1: tart recently that did one and some got it irmez
Speaker 1: bracelet and some didn't. And then there was all this
Speaker 1: discourse online because some people that went on the trip
Speaker 1: got certain gifts wow, and others didn't. And like, I
Speaker 1: fully understand why brands do it, Like it's fucking genius marketing,
Speaker 1: Like you don't have to pay those influences to go
Speaker 1: on the trip, you don't have to pay them to
Speaker 1: promote you. You just take them on the holiday and
Speaker 1: they'll promote you for free. So it's very clever on
Speaker 1: the brand's part. But I like it's like a lot
Speaker 1: of logistics though, Oh it is, and you like this
Speaker 1: has been surprising for me. We're organizing this for seven
Speaker 1: customers in our home city. But even that, like just
Speaker 1: all the figuring out we're having to work and out
Speaker 1: like our staff rosters and because they can't ever be
Speaker 1: alone so besides when they're in their room, so like
Speaker 1: we're working out all the logistics of that, and it's
Speaker 1: taken us a lot of organizing. And we've already started
Speaker 1: looking at flights from every state like coming to Newcastle
Speaker 1: and what time those flights would be that those people
Speaker 1: are going to be potentially going on, and then how
Speaker 1: do we get them from the airport to us kind
Speaker 1: of thing. Like there's a lot of organizing, but I
Speaker 1: just am so glad to be doing it with our
Speaker 1: own community and like giving back to them because I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: the influencers drive the sales for the businesses, but it's
Speaker 1: the customers that matter the most. Yeah, So I'm just
Speaker 1: really excited to be doing that. And I've got another
Speaker 1: surprise as well for those that don't win.
Speaker 2: Oh are you telling us right now?
Speaker 1: Oh, it is the end of the episode, so maybe
Speaker 1: I could because we haven't announced this, but maybe I'm
Speaker 1: announcing it now early, but you're only going to know
Speaker 1: if when.
Speaker 2: You're going to announce this, because we could also chuck
Speaker 2: it in close friends. You're going to announce it this week?
Speaker 1: No, No, the winners, the winners are So the competition
Speaker 1: ends on the thirtieth of this month, Yeah, which is
Speaker 1: a Monday, So the last day of this month is
Speaker 1: literally less than a week to go, and then the
Speaker 1: next day on Tuesday, the first, we're announcing something else.
Speaker 2: Okay, and that's what you were going to tell us
Speaker 2: right now, yeah, Joki Jakon, I should do you want
Speaker 2: to save it for close friends on Friday so it's
Speaker 2: closer to the announcement date, or do you really want
Speaker 2: to give them a week in advance because they'll know
Speaker 2: a week before anyone else if you tell them right now,
Speaker 2: or they'll know like four days before if you tell
Speaker 2: them on Friday.
Speaker 1: I don't know, what do you reckon close friends? Okay?
Speaker 1: Interested it's for people that don't win. So obviously we've
Speaker 1: had thousands of entries, there's only seven winners, so a
Speaker 1: lot of people aren't going to win. But there's still
Speaker 1: a fun, exciting opportunity for everyone that doesn't win that
Speaker 1: is involved within the brand trip exciting.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll bring that to you on Friday in Close Friends.
Speaker 2: I love a little teaser. I'm so glad I got
Speaker 2: that across the lines. That sucked in everyone. You don't
Speaker 2: get to know it.
Speaker 1: I tell you on Friday and then the rest of
Speaker 1: the people will find out on Tuesday. So listen to
Speaker 1: Friday's bonus if you want to know what it is
Speaker 1: before everyone else.
