WEBVTT - Sophie Cachia's Quality Control, Abbie Chatfield's Open Relationship & Mitch Orval's New Venture 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.160 This is Outspoken. The podcast is not afraid to say 0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:06.680 exactly what you're thinking. Our names are Amy Kate and 0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:07.480 Sophie Torba. 0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:09.440 We're identical triplets, so. 0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:13.399 We often don't have identical opinions, so sometimes things can 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:19.680 get heated. Outspoken covers all things reality TV, influences, entertainment. 0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:20.640 And issues facing women. 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:26.360 That is so app fetch, thank you, Welcome back to 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:29.640 Outspoken Now. It hasn't been a great week for influences 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:32.280 in the wild. Two have been caught out this week 0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:36.040 without their debit cards or purses while trying to buy items. 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:39.080 So the first was Molly May and she drove twenty 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.240 minutes from her house to get McDonald's, only to discover 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:44.839 she had forgotten to bring her purse. And to add 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.880 insult to injury, she had her period and was really 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:51.600 craving McDonald's. And she also tried to purchase the meal 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.680 on her Apple pay and it got rejected. So I 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.560 always feel so embarrassed when my credit card gets declined, 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.840 so I think she was just an absolute ball of nerves. 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:03.400 She ended up having to ring her manager to ask 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:06.160 what to do in the situation, and her manager was like, well, 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:07.600 why don't you check your car to see if you've 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:08.600 got any coins in it. 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:09.520 So that's what she did. 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.399 Yeah, she was able to scrounge five pound twenty so 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:14.640 she did manage to get a meal. But the funniest 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.960 thing was she seemed really self conscious on what the 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.880 person at McDonald's, the one who was serving her, was thinking. 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.560 And I just thought the whole time, can you imagine 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.200 if you were that kid at McDonald's and you recognize 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:28.560 Molly May and she's been coppying all this shit for 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.319 her insensitive twenty four hours in a day comment. The 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.760 funniest bit is she's in her massive, expensive car and 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:37.880 she's obviously filming herself too, So I really wonder what 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.080 the boy that served her was thinking. If it was me, 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:41.360 I'd be like, I'm not giving. 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.320 This woman a meal for free. She can obviously afford it. 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.399 Don't you love how much money you can actually scrounge 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:48.640 in your car when you really need to, Like, I'm 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.280 always shocked when I'm ever in that situation where I 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:54.240 need to pay for a parking ticket or something and 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.360 the amount of extra dollars you have lying around the car. 0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.000 Straight, No, I feel like we. 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.480 Need to go to grab from Molly May because her 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:03.600 reaction to the whole ordeal was hilarious. 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:08.400 I left my money at home. I left my money 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:09.680 at home. 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.600 I'm so embarrassed. I'm actually so embarrassed. 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:19.360 That was so embarrassing. 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.400 The poor boy, the poor boy was just staring at me, like, 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:24.519 what do you want me to do about a hunt? 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:29.160 Like I'm not giving you a frame with donald Oh dude, Jesus, 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.359 that was embarrassing. Okay, okay, I just got a new 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:36.480 card and I just added it to my my phone. 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:38.760 But it didn't work. It didn't work. 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:39.320 Such too fair. 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:44.920 Some places don't accept this type of card. So now 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:47.519 I was like, is this God telling me that maybe 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:48.919 I don't need him at Donalds to night? 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:51.280 Do you think this is how you guys would react, 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.680 because I have been in that instance. Actually today I 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.800 forgot my Booper card at the Optic and I was 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.680 so embarrassed, Like, I thought, do I go back? 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:00.840 But I feel like when it. 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.760 Comes to a meal and you're really craving it, I 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.720 would go back and suffer the embarrassment. Well, she did 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.440 say to the Matt Donald's worker, Oh, can you just 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.080 put that to the side. I will come back and 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.400 to be honest, I've done that before at the supermarket 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.160 where my card hasn't gone through and I've said no, no, 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.280 I'll come back, and i haven't come back out of 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.680 pure embarrassment. Well, the other influencer who had a similar 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.320 situation this week was Sarah's Dye Now. She did a 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.800 huge shop at chemist Warehouse for essentials to prepare for 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:28.919 the birth of her baby, which is coming up in 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.480 the next few weeks, and she went to the counter 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.680 and realized that she also had no card. And what 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.160 I loved was she lied and said she was going 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.160 to the car to see if her wallet was in 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.080 the car, But she was just doing that because she 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.800 wanted to leave the embarrassing situation and did not go 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:44.240 back in. 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.640 I've actually forgotten my money. But I've got this. This 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.600 might work, it might not. Can you can I hold 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.280 my older because I will actually come back. What time 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:53.920 do you shut? 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:54.080 Oh? 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:55.520 Okay, I'll come back. Thank you. 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.200 Sophiicacia and Mia Plask's latest business venture has hit a 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:03.000 hurdle on its first launch. Their gender neutral cosmetic brand 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.120 of Suru was forced to apologize after the former Mummy 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:09.840 bloggers shared a video of herself undertaking quality control in 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:13.520 their warehouse. In the video, she has seen maskless and 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:17.080 gloveless as she rubs her nose with lipstick in her hand. 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.320 Before we get into the drama, Cake, can you tell 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.200 us about Sophie and MIA's new business? 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:23.000 Yeah, so, just for. 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.799 Some background, Sophie Kaisha, as we said, is a former 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:29.479 mummy vlogger turned entrepreneur who runs a successful pajama brand 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.279 called Kasha. And as for me, she is a founder 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.279 and CEO of Slick Hair Company. Now. They both have 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.440 had their fair share of controversies, so much so that 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.919 Sophie Kisha tried to distance herself from Mia Plastic last 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:46.440 year after the Slickstick owner shared her anti vax views. Now, 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.200 despite the little hiccup, the pair have joined forces to 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.000 launch a new gender neutral cosmetic brand called. 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:53.160 Is Suru Now. 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.360 The word is Suru is Japanese and translates to mean 0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:00.400 to love, to care for, to have affection for. Brand's 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.360 motto is beauty for all humans, and they list their 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:08.480 values as inclusivity, visibility, and acceptance in the mainstream market now, 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.080 the brand says that they're here to disrupt the market 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:14.839 and want every human to embrace self expression at any age. 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.640 On the website, it says one dollar from every sale 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.400 of a product will be donated to a selected charity, 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.280 with it alternating every six months. Now. When I took 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:25.880 a look at their website, it was very inclusive and 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:30.640 featured images of trans women, non binary people, and older women. However, 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.400 when it comes to their brand, I don't really think 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:34.400 it's on point. 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.200 It kind of looks a little bit. 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.000 Like a tech brand, and a member of our Facebook 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.919 group actually pointed out that the website looks like the 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.240 big W website and when you do have a look, 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:48.279 you cannot unsee it. It just really has big W vibes, 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.440 which seems odd for a cosmetics company. Yeah, and it 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.280 really appears that Sophie and Mia are jumping on board 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.520 this gender neutral beauty trend, which is really big in 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.960 the market. So brands that are already doing a great 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.039 job of it so far. Our YouTuber Patrick Stars brand 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.440 one Size, along with we Are Fluid two Deep Beauty, 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:10.520 and also Rhianna's fenty Now. The first launch featured three 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:13.520 nude lipsticks which cost thirty four to ninety five each 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:16.800 or eighty nine ninety five for a pack of three, 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.120 and I was really surprised that they went with nude 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.120 lipsticks to start with because the term nude in the 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.719 makeup world is considered a light skin color, so for me, 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.880 the term doesn't really seem on brand, considering they're trying 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:32.760 to push inclusivity. And it also did surprise me that 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.400 their first product was a lipstick, considering we have to 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:37.200 wear masks in public now. 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:37.800 Do you know what? 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.200 Though, it could be a case of Sophie and Me 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.880 are banking on the lipstick effect. So for those who 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.720 haven't heard about it, the theory is that consumers are 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.840 willing to buy less costly luxury goods. 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.160 During an economic crisis. 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:54.000 So basically, instead of buying a designer handbag, people are 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:58.000 more willing to buy an expensive lipstick instead. And during 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.440 a lot of the economic declines, we have seen that 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.440 lipstick sales have gone up a lot, so maybe they're 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.400 banking on this being the case for the pandemic. I 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.559 would assume though, ellipstick would be a good beauty item 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:12.200 to test as well, because it wouldn't be that expensive 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.600 to have made. And if you look at what Me 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.720 has done previously with the slickstick that was a white 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.320 label product, that she just needed to put her branding on. 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.080 I'm wondering if this lipstick is also a white label product, 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:24.240 it's the easiest. 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:24.560 One to push ower. 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.080 What's interesting you say that, Amy, because they're touting their 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:31.320 products as Australian made, cruelty free, vegan and obviously they 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:33.440 think by saying that they can put the thirty five 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.480 dollar price mark, because thirty five dollars. 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.120 Is very expensive for ellipstick. 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.080 But is this their target audience the people that follow them, 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.840 because they seem to be going for a very woke audience. 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.280 But I feel like a lot of woke people don't 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.680 particularly like me A plastic and Sophicacia. Yeah, I was 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:51.520 thinking the same thing, and when I did a little 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.720 bit of a research into gender neutral cosmetics, it really 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.200 seems like it's the up and coming thing and something 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.840 that a lot of people are jumping on board with, which. 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:00.600 Is really really great. 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.440 However, I was surprised with the branding because it's very 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.840 avert that, oh, this is a product for everyone, whereas 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.360 someone like Fenti, their messaging is more subtle. It's just 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:15.720 very inclusive language, and I don't know, I personally thought 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.840 that more being subtle about it would be better marketing 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.440 to make it feel like this is just an everyday, 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.200 every human thing. It seems more genuine, doesn't it the 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.720 fente branding. But we've seen the likes of James Charles 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.760 be the face of cosmetic brands, and I think it's 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.600 a space that has been evolving quite a lot. So 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.960 it's not something that you need to be so overt with. 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.880 It's more something that you bring into your marketing and think, hey, 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:43.080 we've actually got these two demographics that we can market to. 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.240 How do we do that while being authentic. What does 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.960 seem to have overshadowed this launch, though, is an Instagram 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.720 story that Sophie Keisha shared this week. 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:53.520 Now. She shared a. 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:57.280 Video of herself quality testing lipsticks before they were packed 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:00.320 and shipped. In the video, she explains that she is 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.839 individually going through ten thousand lipsticks to ensure there are 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:07.200 no duds now. In the vision, Sophie is not wearing 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.240 a mask, gloves, or hairnet and is seen wiping her 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.800 nose with a lipstick in her hand. 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.160 I couldn't help but laugh at this video. 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.400 It's pretty ironic because the video is captioned something I 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.199 learned from my business partner Acacia is the importance of 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:25.600 quality control. Now, it doesn't seem like too much quality 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.800 control is going into place if you are actually wiping 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:32.040 your nose with the product, not actually wearing safety equipment, 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.160 particularly in a pandemic. When I saw that, I just thought, 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.000 what on earth is she thinking? What possessed her to 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.160 post this video? Well? 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.679 Where was anybody telling her within her team? Hate? I 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.200 think this is a really good idea. 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:46.960 Well. The video has caused a lot of backlash, with 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:51.199 many people asking ISUU for a statement on their safety breach, 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.599 and they did reply to some of the concerns on Instagram. 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.240 One of their responses read as a small new business, 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.640 we have definitely taken this on board and reached out 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.240 to a manufacturers who gave us the best practices to 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.880 use moving forward. So then on Wednesday, they took it 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.360 a step further and shared a post on their Instagram 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.280 story which read, the team at Asuru would like to 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:13.320 acknowledge the concerns of our customers regarding a video that 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.079 was shared this week by one of our company directors. 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.160 We acknowledge that this wasn't the best practice nor aligned 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.800 with our policies and procedures. Surrounding the safe handling of products. 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:26.439 Working in partnership with our contract manufacturers, we have reinforced 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.679 the strict processes and protocols to our staff members to 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.959 ensure mistakes like this aren't made again. It is important 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.320 to note that the specific batch of lipsticks handled that 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:39.439 morning have been disposed of. We thank you for your feedback. Now, 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:43.319 do you guys actually think that the lipsticks were disposed of? Well, 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.240 that's a lot of lipsticks, isn't it If it was 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:49.640 ten thousand that Sophie went through, particularly for a startup, Yeah, 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:51.920 particularly for someone that in the comments has said we 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.760 are a new business and we are learning. You don't 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.120 think that. Like usually with a first drop, you only 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.840 purchase a small amount of products to see how it goes. 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:03.280 So I'm questioning did they actually really dispose of the 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.400 products or did they dispose of the products? Are only 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.880 Sophie touched? Meaning did she just put that video up 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:10.840 for a bit of a flex saying that she's looking 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:13.240 through all the lipsticks, but in fact she's only really 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.840 quality controlled two of them. So they've just got rid 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.040 of those lies. I want to see the lipsticks being 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.000 disposed of. If this actually and if it was ten 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:23.080 thousand or I mean, it seems like a real waste, 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.400 doesn't it, Like surely they could have gifted them to 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:26.240 family and friends. 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:27.000 Well, when they. 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:29.160 Say disposed of, they probably have just given them to 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:30.839 family and friends. You probably hit the nail on the 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.360 head there. I did think it was also quite embarrassing 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.600 how they said that in the statement we've had to 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.960 reinforce the strict process and protocols to our staff members, 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.480 particularly when the staff member in question is one of 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.680 the directors of the company who is trying to flex 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:45.720 and say she s had so much experience with their 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:49.800 pajama brand. Oh, it was also embarrassing and really not 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.280 a very good first impression for a brand who is 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.240 trying to position themselves in the market as a luxury 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:56.320 cosmetic brand. 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:57.600 With thirty five dollars. 0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:59.760 Lipsticks, and if we do some quick maths, if they 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.199 had to get rid of ten thousand of the lipsticks 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.839 priced at thirty four ninety five, that's three hundred and 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:08.120 forty nine, five hundred dollars of lost revenue. I do 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.920 find this all very ironic that this has come from 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:14.240 Sophie Kaisha sharing a post trying to convince consumers about 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:15.640 her brand's quality control. 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:19.199 I will forget each and every one of you almost immediately. 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:21.520 So if you do find yourself at a loose end 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:23.440 next year, I think it might be nice to pop 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:24.880 in and see how we're getting on. 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.480 Don't not doing anybody's tea tonight? 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.600 Where Chippy. 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.640 Ill our Fish, Jiptum Monkey beat. 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.760 Fresh from selling his Gold Coast mansion, it appears Mitch 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.559 Orville is now the part owner of a takeaway store. Sophie, 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.400 what do we know so far about Mitch's new venture. Well, 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:49.199 On Wednesday, a photo of Mitch posing outside Shack Takeaway 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:52.959 appeared on the store's new Instagram account. The caption read, 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.800 the Shack Takeaway owners, we are so excited to see 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.480 you all very soon once we are open. From Reno's 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.560 keep your eyes peeled now. The store is part of 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.600 the popular Nobby's Beach Strip near Mermaid Beach on the 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.440 Gold Coast, and it was quite interesting to take a 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.240 look at their Instagram account because it shows that Jiglio 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.800 Construction is actually renovating the inside of the store. Now 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:17.080 that name might sound familiar to you because they also 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:21.840 renovated the Orvil's house. So many people are wondering how 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.000 hands on Mitch's role will be in this business, and 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.600 some have speculated that he may be an investor or 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:29.959 financial backer. I mean, I'm assuming he's not going to 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.120 be making the juices there. No, I don't think we'll 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.640 see him front of house. And it is interesting when 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:36.920 you do take a look at the other three owners 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.000 pictured in the photo, because two of the part owners 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.000 are a married couple who already run a successful juice 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:46.520 bar and superfood store in the same precinct called Nobby's Shack. 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:50.600 Also pictured is the CEO of Jiglio Construction, who, as 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.520 I mentioned, is doing the renovations on the takeaway store. 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.520 So it's quite interesting because I feel like the CEO 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.480 and Mitch must be taking more of a strategic approach 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.400 towards the takeaway business. I'm really wondering what's going to 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:04.600 be on the menu at this takeaway store. I think 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:08.600 they should sell an iconic smashed avo and fitter toast. 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.839 Remember Mitch chanting down on that one of his iconic 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:12.720 YouTube video. 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:14.920 The side of chilled moon water or something like that. Well, 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:16.000 I'm guessing it's not going to. 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.840 Be your typical fast food restaurant. It is interesting because 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.920 if you look at the owners who own Nobby's Shack, 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.560 they also run a cafe that serves immune boosting juices 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:27.600 and also very nourishing food, So I think it will 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:29.840 be along the same line of that. Does anyone else 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:31.840 feel quite happy for Mitch because I feel like this 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.080 is a really good move from him. He's gone off 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:38.040 social media, He's starting this business. Yeah. I think starting 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.960 a new business, particularly one in hospitality, isn't an easy task, 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.600 and I do think it is great that instead of 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.840 staying in that social media world, which is clearly making 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:51.520 him incredibly unhappy, he's going and looking at new opportunities. 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:52.880 And I think that he would do a. 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.560 Great job with this restaurant. 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.200 I mean, so this is the big opportunity then that 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.800 the real estate agent was hinting at, because remember when 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:01.640 they sold their house, they said, oh, they're moving on 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.120 to bigger and better things. It does make me think 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.040 I wonder if Mitch is going to jump back on 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.760 social media to promote this or if he's just going 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.280 to keep it organic, because I suppose it's not like 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:14.440 a retail thing where you can get your followers to 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:16.520 buy your products. It's very much you have to be 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.640 on the Gold Coast in the Knobby's precinct area. Well, 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.400 I think because it is a takeaway store, it doesn't 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.920 look like at the moment that it's a huge franchise. 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:26.800 I think it's probably just something that he wants to 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.160 take a step back and dip his toe in the 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.440 water of running a business. Obviously, he loves the lifestyle. 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:33.520 It's right near the beach. 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:35.760 If I was his business partners though, I'd be saying 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:37.680 get back on social media, let's do a bit of 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:39.320 promotion to get people down there. 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:39.680 Well. 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:42.800 Since the news broke, there has been some discussion around 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:46.120 whether Mitch's vaccination status will affect his role at the 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:50.120 cafe because currently in Queensland, rule state that only vaccinated 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:53.640 staff and patrons will be allowed to enter hospitality venues 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:57.000 such as cafes, restaurants and fast food outlets. However, it 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:01.720 does outline that vaccination isn't required for pays entering food courts. 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:02.920 So I do wonder if. 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.680 There's a little bit of a loophole here for Mitch's venue, 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.680 because it does outline on the Instagram account that it 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:10.560 is a takeaway only store. 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.000 Yeah, that would probably be the loophole. 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.920 Well, that being said, the vaccine mandate is currently under 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.920 review by the Queensland government, so it looks like authorities 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:20.920 are set to make a call on whether they will 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.280 scrap those measures at the end of the month. Yeah, 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.080 it should be really interesting. But I just want to 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.120 wish Mitch well because I think this is a really 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.480 exciting new venture for him and I'd love to see 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.760 him succeed offline and you know, bring that happiness back 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.600 because he clearly wasn't happy when he was online earlier. 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:37.840 Hi, guys, welcome back to my channel. I hope you're 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:40.120 all doing wow. So for today's video, I'm coming to 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.640 you with a Valentine's Day inspired it gets ready with me. 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.800 On Monday, social media was a wash with Valentine's Day 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:48.960 posts as influencers shared their loved up moments. Now, have 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:51.120 you guys noticed there seems to be three types of 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.400 couples on Valentine's Day? So firstly you've got the ones 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:56.840 that go overboard, then there's the ones that send the 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.960 obligatory flowers, and then there are those who don't sell 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:03.320 braided at all. Where do you guys fit on this scale? 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.280 I feel like Amy you were incredibly thoughtful this year 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.480 with Valentine's Day, because I do think as a woman, 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.240 it is difficult to think of a Valentine's Day gift 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:13.239 for a man. But I feel like you nailed it. 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:13.920 Yeah. 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:17.320 I did a chocolate and beer bouquet because I felt 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.000 bad because Dale always gets me really nice flowers each year, 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:21.520 and then I never know what to get him. 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:22.800 So the year before I got him. 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:24.560 A bottle of wine and it just felt a bit flat. 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:26.119 So I did make the effort. 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:28.879 I feel like girls are a bit more thoughtful with 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:33.320 some of the stuff they give because you actually made 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:35.560 that book. Yeah you've missed that point because you've got 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:37.959 a reel on our Instagram account of you putting it together. 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.480 And I was very impressed because really those type of 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:43.320 baskets can cost a lot of money if you buy 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.440 if you outsource it, but I'm assuming it was a 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:47.680 little bit cheaper. Do you know Dale has already eaten 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.560 all of the chocolates from how many ways. It's so 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.720 funny because I put it. I put the bouquet outside 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:55.879 our room and it sort of sat there for the 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.960 whole week. And the whole week it's we're recording on 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:01.960 a Thursday, Valentine's I was on a Monday four days 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:03.920 so to get the chocolates to stand up, I had 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:06.600 to hot glue gun skewers onto the back of chocolates. 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.200 And today I looked and there were just. 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:11.080 All these empty skewers that were still in the bouquet. 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:12.480 I reckon. 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:13.600 I was about. 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:16.960
