Sophie Cachia’s Public Toilet Disaster · Outspoken the Podcast

0:03
Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the
0:06
Speaker 1: hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week.
0:10
Speaker 2: I'm Sophie Torber and coming up on today's show, Sarah's
0:13
Speaker 2: Day's not-so-subtle fragrance announcement, Tammy Hembrough celebrates her boyfriend's 23rd
0:19
Speaker 2: birthday with a romantic getaway, Steph Clare Smith and Laura
0:23
Speaker 2: Henshaw's fitness empire grows and Sophie Keisha's public toilet disaster.
0:28
Speaker 2: But first, the Mums Group podcast is officially live. We
0:32
Speaker 2: launched our first episode on Wednesday and we just want
0:35
Speaker 2: to say the biggest thank you to all of our
0:37
Speaker 2: outspoken mums for getting behind it and supporting it. We
0:40
Speaker 2: were blown away by the amount of downloads that that
0:43
Speaker 2: episode got. I also think that some of our listeners
0:45
Speaker 2: who don't have children tuned in, so an extra thank
0:47
Speaker 2: you to those people.
0:49
Speaker 1: As someone said, we now just need an episode to
0:51
Speaker 1: go out on a Monday and people can listen to
0:53
Speaker 1: us all throughout the working week, can't they? I think
0:55
Speaker 1: that's just too much. I think people would get very
0:57
Speaker 1: sick of us. And just a reminder, please make sure
1:00
Speaker 1: you are following The Mums Group on Apple, Spotify, iHeart
1:03
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts because for the first
1:06
Speaker 1: week we did do a feed drop into Outspoken. So
1:10
Speaker 1: a lot of people listen to the podcast through our
1:12
Speaker 1: Outspoken channel. But please make sure you are following The
1:15
Speaker 1: Mums Group because we're going to be putting all the
1:16
Speaker 1: episodes in that channel separately.
1:18
Speaker 2: And I'm usually the one that begs and I'm going
1:20
Speaker 2: to beg here. Could you please leave us a five-star
1:22
Speaker 2: review and write a little review up about how you
1:25
Speaker 2: found the episode? It would really, really help us out.
1:29
Speaker 2: Side note, we did mention this in our subscriber episode,
1:32
Speaker 2: but it was so funny. This week, I can't even
1:34
Speaker 2: remember what day it was on, but we had the advertiser,
1:37
Speaker 2: which is the local paper here in Adelaide, come to
1:40
Speaker 2: take a photo to promote the fact that we're starting
1:42
Speaker 2: a new podcast. And it was absolutely chaotic to one,
1:46
Speaker 2: get yourself looking presentable, get your child to ensure that
1:50
Speaker 2: they had their sleep right before the photographer was going
1:52
Speaker 2: to come. And then One, to make sure that they
1:55
Speaker 2: behaved during the photo shoot, which did not happen.
1:57
Speaker 1: It wasn't even that hot. And I was sweating bullets.
2:00
Speaker 1: Like I felt like I was just a sweaty mess
2:03
Speaker 1: because I was having to wrangle my toddler into the photo.
2:07
Speaker 1: And the photographer was like, oh, can you get into
2:09
Speaker 1: this position where Sophie's squatting on the ground, Amy's kneeling
2:13
Speaker 1: just above and Kate, you're standing up and you've all
2:15
Speaker 1: got your kids, you know, Kate, put Jack over your shoulder.
2:18
Speaker 1: You guys hold the babies. was like there is no
2:20
Speaker 1: way this is working we tried and tried and tried
2:23
Speaker 1: I got vomited on a number of times during the
2:26
Speaker 1: photo shoot and I had to pretend to be cool
2:28
Speaker 1: about it because I could tell that the girl was
2:29
Speaker 1: in her early 20s and was probably completely grossed out
2:31
Speaker 1: it was a clitty bit hard wasn't it it was
2:33
Speaker 1: a clitty bit hard now people again will only get
2:36
Speaker 1: those comments if they listen to the subscriber episode I
2:38
Speaker 1: mean we're just angling a carrot for people to go
2:40
Speaker 1: and subscribe to the podcast so that yeah so they
2:43
Speaker 1: can I can understand click what we're talking about click
2:47
Speaker 1: I can just sense our mum listening to this and
2:49
Speaker 1: either she's going to find it really funny or be horrified.
2:55
Speaker 1: You might know what we're talking about if you have
2:56
Speaker 1: seen a viral video floating around. No, no, no. Don't
2:59
Speaker 1: even give context. Okay. Don't give context. In order to
3:02
Speaker 1: get context, you have to go and be a subscriber.
3:04
Speaker 1: It actually reminds me when Mia Friedman on Mamma Mia
3:07
Speaker 1: was dropping the hard C word a couple of times
3:10
Speaker 1: during an episode. Can Mia Friedman go back on the
3:12
Speaker 1: free episodes of Out Loud? I miss her on there.
3:15
Speaker 1: I know. I miss her so much. I do love M.
3:17
Speaker 1: Vernon though. Maybe she can cover for Jessie Stephens when
3:20
Speaker 1: she's away. Sarah's Day has all but revealed she will
3:24
Speaker 1: finally be releasing a fragrance. The OG Fitness YouTuber dropped
3:28
Speaker 1: a not-so-subtle hint in a Get Ready With Me video
3:31
Speaker 1: earlier this week. Yeah, so last week, Sarah dropped she
3:34
Speaker 1: was launching a new brand, which included a product. And
3:37
Speaker 1: this week, she's essentially confirmed it is a fragrance. So
3:40
Speaker 1: in her Get Ready With Me video, she showed off
3:43
Speaker 1: three small vials with spray lids before gesturing a shushing motion.
3:48
Speaker 1: She then sprayed herself with one of the bottles. So
3:51
Speaker 1: it seems like she either has three different scents or
3:54
Speaker 1: she's still narrowing down her signature scent. We have said
3:57
Speaker 1: this so many times on the podcast, but Sarah's Day
4:00
Speaker 1: is a marketing whiz. Judging from some other collaborations she's
4:03
Speaker 1: done with brands before, she generally likes to get her
4:06
Speaker 1: audience involved and feel like they have a say in
4:09
Speaker 1: what product she's releasing. So I'm sure that she is
4:12
Speaker 1: going to get her audience to weigh in on what
4:14
Speaker 1: sort of smell that they like. the best.
4:16
Speaker 2: Obviously they can't smell it through the screen, but I'm
4:18
Speaker 2: sure she's going to describe the different scent to people.
4:21
Speaker 1: What do you think Sarah's day would smell like? I
4:24
Speaker 1: know that sounds like a weird question and you've actually
4:25
Speaker 1: met her before when you were doing some PR, but
4:29
Speaker 1: it's just interesting because I know we keep harping on
4:32
Speaker 1: about Hilary Duff. She is just everywhere at the moment,
4:34
Speaker 1: but When we met Hilary Duff, and I've said it
4:37
Speaker 1: numerous times on the podcast, she smelled that good and
4:40
Speaker 1: she had her own perfume line. I don't think she
4:41
Speaker 1: was wearing her with love perfume. But she just, I
4:46
Speaker 1: can still smell what she smelled like. Like it was
4:49
Speaker 1: the most glorious vanilla smell. I always wanted to find
4:52
Speaker 1: that perfume. Side note, Hilary Duff is a marketing genius
4:55
Speaker 1: as well because she has a candle company and she
4:58
Speaker 1: is launching a candle that smells like the perfume. So
5:00
Speaker 1: is the perfume next?
5:02
Speaker 2: Well, in terms of your question about what Sarah's day
5:04
Speaker 2: smells like, I was joking that she smells like sweat.
5:07
Speaker 2: I only say that because she literally is a workout
5:09
Speaker 2: queen and is so fit. I can't actually remember. I
5:13
Speaker 2: don't think I got close enough to her to know
5:15
Speaker 2: what she smells like. But I think there'd be a
5:17
Speaker 2: bit of a coastal smell, like a bit of a clean.
5:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, like a salty water vibe. I was thinking more
5:22
Speaker 1: fruity smell, like a fresh fruity smell. I feel like
5:26
Speaker 1: she'd be very clean, like that sort of clean linen
5:29
Speaker 1: and like it'd be sort of an effortless, cheeky sort of. Yeah,
5:32
Speaker 1: I can imagine her wanting to. create a fragrance that
5:36
Speaker 1: has more of a masculine vibe. I've always wanted to
5:38
Speaker 1: have a signature scent and be one of those people
5:40
Speaker 1: that are like, wow, you smell so nice. But I
5:44
Speaker 1: think for the past eight months that I've been at home,
5:46
Speaker 1: I don't actually think I sprayed perfume on myself once because.
5:48
Speaker 1: My signature scent is just BO. Just BO. Yeah. Postpartum BO.
5:54
Speaker 1: I forget to put deodorant on at this stage. Well,
5:55
Speaker 1: I was going to say. It's kind of dropped off
5:57
Speaker 1: my routine.
5:59
Speaker 2: I remember hearing though that babies don't like the smell
6:01
Speaker 2: of perfume and out of fear that my baby wouldn't
6:04
Speaker 2: go to sleep, I was like, I'm not putting perfume on.
6:06
Speaker 1: We all used to buy the Apple DKNY perfume. And
6:10
Speaker 1: it was so funny, Dale and I were chatting and
6:11
Speaker 1: we're like, isn't it funny that We all smell the same. Well, yeah,
6:15
Speaker 1: actually when I used to work at a PR agency,
6:17
Speaker 1: everyone said that that smell reminded them of me. And
6:20
Speaker 1: if I do on the odd occasion go out somewhere,
6:22
Speaker 1: I'll spray that on. I remember Saffron Barker, her ex-boyfriend,
6:26
Speaker 1: he wore the same scent as her dad and she
6:28
Speaker 1: said it was really weird, like it put her off.
6:30
Speaker 1: It is crazy how much a smell can remind you
6:32
Speaker 1: of someone or something. I really wanted to get a
6:35
Speaker 1: beautiful perfume for my wedding. particularly one that was in
6:38
Speaker 1: a nice bottle, because I know that sounds so fickle,
6:40
Speaker 1: but they take photos of the perfume bottle amongst your things.
6:43
Speaker 1: And I saw that Olivia Rogers had this specific perfume
6:46
Speaker 1: and they actually didn't have it available in store to smell.
6:49
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, I imagine that she smells
6:51
Speaker 1: really nice and has good taste. So I ordered it
6:53
Speaker 1: and it arrived and I actually didn't like the smell
6:56
Speaker 1: of it, but I wore it on my wedding and
6:58
Speaker 1: now I'll spray it on for like, you know, special
7:00
Speaker 1: events or if I go out or something. And it
7:02
Speaker 1: really does remind me of my wedding, even though I
7:04
Speaker 1: don't particularly like the smell of it.
7:07
Speaker 2: I think I have the same brand as you, Kate,
7:08
Speaker 2: that I got for my wedding as well. It is
7:10
Speaker 2: a beautiful looking bottle.
7:11
Speaker 1: Beautiful bottle. Not a great scent.
7:12
Speaker 2: Now, getting back to Sarah's day, the reason why this
7:16
Speaker 2: new perfume collaboration is such big news is because it
7:18
Speaker 2: comes off the back of her perfume collab with Who
7:22
Speaker 2: Is Elijah that was dramatically cancelled in July last year.
7:25
Speaker 2: And at the time, let's just say she didn't really
7:27
Speaker 2: take the news very well and she ended up slamming
7:30
Speaker 2: the brand for blindsiding her. She did get a very
7:33
Speaker 2: strong reaction from her fans, though, who said, can you
7:35
Speaker 2: please make your own perfume? And she responded saying, literally this.
7:39
Speaker 2: I've been talking to Kurt about it. She even told
7:42
Speaker 2: a follower that she kept a sample of the scent
7:44
Speaker 2: that she had created with Who Is Elijah to make
7:47
Speaker 2: sure they didn't release it under a different name. She wrote, honestly,
7:50
Speaker 2: I would expect nothing less from them at this rate.
7:54
Speaker 2: Do we think it is the same scent that she
7:56
Speaker 2: planned to release.
7:57
Speaker 1: With Who Is Elijah? I think it would definitely have
7:59
Speaker 1: a similar smell considering that she worked for, well, she
8:02
Speaker 1: said two years with this brand to create her own
8:05
Speaker 1: signature scent. I wonder what the rules are regarding copying
8:09
Speaker 1: the scent. I mean, I wonder if Who Is Elijah
8:12
Speaker 1: maybe behind the scenes says, look, run with it. We
8:15
Speaker 1: don't care.
8:15
Speaker 2: When this story blew up at the time, I remember
8:18
Speaker 2: the owner of Who Is Elijah, Raquel Boris, saying that
8:22
Speaker 2: Sarah's day didn't really have that much to do with
8:25
Speaker 2: the collaboration, as in, because Sarah made it sound like
8:28
Speaker 2: she'd been working around the clock to bring out this
8:30
Speaker 2: signature smell, but it sounded like they just had a
8:33
Speaker 2: couple of meetings here and there.
8:35
Speaker 1: It would be really.
8:35
Speaker 2: Interesting to see if Who Is Elijah does have an
8:39
Speaker 2: issue with it when the scent comes out.
8:41
Speaker 1: I actually kind of really like that she's coming out
8:43
Speaker 1: with a scent because It reminds me of something we do.
8:47
Speaker 1: Like when someone knocks you down and says, nah, you're
8:50
Speaker 1: not having it, it sort of has driven her even more.
8:53
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't be surprised if she is actually launching
8:56
Speaker 1: this herself in terms of bankrolling. I mean, we spoke
8:59
Speaker 1: about last week how she does seem to be connected
9:01
Speaker 1: with this candle brand that potentially could be involved with
9:04
Speaker 1: the fragrance. But I would say she has spent a
9:07
Speaker 1: lot of money on this herself to make sure it's perfect.
9:11
Speaker 1: And it seems like it's going to be a bit
9:12
Speaker 1: of a fuck you too. Who is Elijah? Over the weekend,
9:16
Speaker 1: Tammy Hembrough celebrated her new boyfriend's 23rd birthday with a
9:20
Speaker 1: romantic getaway. The OG influencer wined and dined her new
9:24
Speaker 1: beau and even got him a birthday cake, Kate. Well,
9:28
Speaker 1: Byron Bay seems to be the place Tammy goes with
9:30
Speaker 1: her lovers. And last weekend, Grace and Timoana experienced what
9:33
Speaker 1: looked like an amazing staycation. So the model lives in
9:36
Speaker 1: Sydney and Tammy is on the Gold Coast. So I
9:39
Speaker 1: suppose Byron Bay made sense from a logistical point of view.
9:42
Speaker 1: But I would have thought the place may hold some
9:45
Speaker 1: bad or sad memories for her considering She got married
9:48
Speaker 1: to Matt Sikowski only a year ago in Byron Bay
9:51
Speaker 1: and they holiday there quite a bit. I reckon she's
9:53
Speaker 1: trying to reclaim the spot.
9:54
Speaker 2: Like, you know, when you love a location and you're like,
9:57
Speaker 2: I'm not letting this past memory ruin it for me.
10:00
Speaker 1: Well, it looked like it was a bit of a
10:01
Speaker 1: mix of work and pleasure for Tammy because it seemed
10:04
Speaker 1: like the trip was also part of a paid promotion
10:06
Speaker 1: with the hotel because she kept tagging them on her
10:08
Speaker 1: story and she also tagged them in a photo dump.
10:12
Speaker 1: There was no partnership disclosure though. And I've noticed she
10:14
Speaker 1: stayed there I think it was right after she broke
10:18
Speaker 1: up with Matt Sikowsky. So she obviously likes this hotel
10:20
Speaker 1: and has got an ongoing partnership in some form with them.
10:23
Speaker 2: I'm sure this hotel was thinking, okay, if she's going
10:26
Speaker 2: to be posting about the new boyfriend, we're going to
10:27
Speaker 2: get mass views on these stories and it's going to
10:30
Speaker 2: be beneficial for us. But even though she has hard
10:33
Speaker 2: launched the boyfriend by appearing with him on the red
10:35
Speaker 2: carpet of Wuthering Heights, He wasn't included in any of
10:38
Speaker 2: her posts, similar to when she took him to Live Gold.
10:41
Speaker 2: It kind of seems like she's gotten a bit shy
10:44
Speaker 2: since she hard launched him on the red carpet and
10:46
Speaker 2: has thought, well, maybe it's not a good idea to
10:48
Speaker 2: post too much about him.
10:48
Speaker 1: I don't think she got a great reception from the public.
10:51
Speaker 1: If anything, it put people off and there was a
10:53
Speaker 1: lot of negative talk about Tammy online. Grayson also shared
10:57
Speaker 1: his own photo dump of the trip, but he didn't
10:59
Speaker 1: include Tammy. I'm guessing he's under strict instructions not to,
11:03
Speaker 1: particularly after he shared photos with Tammy on his Instagram
11:06
Speaker 1: story in Adelaide and then deleted them. I'm guessing she said,
11:10
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Have you guys seen the first
11:12
Speaker 1: photo in the photo dump? Because I need to talk
11:14
Speaker 1: to you about it.
11:15
Speaker 2: I ended up following him only in case he started
11:17
Speaker 2: posting stuff about Tammy, but I have not seen this photo. Okay.
11:21
Speaker 1: Well, I follow him in my Finster. I didn't want
11:22
Speaker 1: to follow him in my own name, but as models do,
11:26
Speaker 1: he is blue stealing it to the camera. He's really
11:29
Speaker 1: gazing into it. And He's wearing a T-shirt, but he's
11:33
Speaker 1: actually rolled it up in this really odd way so
11:35
Speaker 1: you can see his abs. I mean, he has got
11:38
Speaker 1: great abs. I can see why he's done it, but
11:41
Speaker 1: it just looks so awkward. The rest of the photos
11:44
Speaker 1: are pretty normal.
11:45
Speaker 2: Can you imagine seeing this photo shoot happening in real life?
11:48
Speaker 2: Like you've just shown me the photo now and he
11:49
Speaker 2: looks like an absolute flog. Like one arm is out
11:52
Speaker 2: of the T-shirt and it's like half rolled up whilst
11:54
Speaker 2: he's just sitting at this cafe.
11:55
Speaker 1: I mean, it would be the best people watching. Do
11:57
Speaker 1: you know who he kind of reminds me a bit
11:59
Speaker 1: of Morgan Waterhouse?
12:00
Speaker 2: You know, like he's a stereotypically good looking guy, but
12:03
Speaker 2: then the fashion that he wears and the way that
12:06
Speaker 2: he poses in photos is a complete ick and ruins it.
12:08
Speaker 1: I think the ick, and I know it sounds unfair,
12:10
Speaker 1: is to set what any guy is into social media,
12:13
Speaker 1: because I was having a look at his stories earlier
12:15
Speaker 1: and him and his mates, like his influencer wannabe mates
12:18
Speaker 1: are all doing little photo shoots at this house. And
12:21
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just don't like it. I think
12:22
Speaker 1: there's something about men when they think that they're hot
12:26
Speaker 1: or that they're not. I don't know what it is.
12:28
Speaker 1: I don't know how to describe it. There's a difference.
12:30
Speaker 2: I think there's like, I don't know if it's a word,
12:32
Speaker 2: a quiet elegance of a man who's confident in himself,
12:35
Speaker 2: but he's not arrogant. Like, I think it's a bit
12:38
Speaker 2: of a red flag if you were to start like
12:40
Speaker 2: dating someone and you saw that they had 10-ton selfies
12:43
Speaker 2: and photo dumps on their Instagram.
12:45
Speaker 1: Like you want someone who doesn't post for years on
12:47
Speaker 1: end or months on end. You want more than the
12:49
Speaker 1: one photo of them holding up a fish on Instagram. Yeah,
12:52
Speaker 1: but not this. You need a bit more context. Not
12:54
Speaker 1: little photo shoots. Definitely not this. I mean, he was
12:56
Speaker 1: a lucky boy. It looked like they had an amazing
12:59
Speaker 1: dinner with oysters in a wine cellar. It also looked
13:01
Speaker 1: like Tammy got him a birthday cake. So there was
13:03
Speaker 1: a photo with a cake with little red love hearts
13:06
Speaker 1: on it that said,' Birthday, boy.' I find the term
13:10
Speaker 1: boy interesting because originally when he posted the photo dump,
13:13
Speaker 1: he captioned it Big 29, but then he quickly changed
13:17
Speaker 1: it to his actual age, which is 23. That seems
13:20
Speaker 1: to be a bit of an attention-seeking thing. Yeah, well,
13:22
Speaker 1: people were calling him out in the comments over it
13:24
Speaker 1: and then he changed it back. I mean, I felt
13:27
Speaker 1: a bit sorry for him. He was copying a lot
13:29
Speaker 1: of negative comments on his Instagram. I was surprised that
13:32
Speaker 1: they were still left out, but I suppose... You know,
13:34
Speaker 1: it all drives engagement. It might show his true intention. Well,
13:37
Speaker 1: during the getaway with a new man, Tammy also shared
13:40
Speaker 1: a TikTok of her dancing around with wine with the caption,
13:44
Speaker 1: I lied. I love doing it for the plot. I
13:46
Speaker 1: love when people doubt me. I love deep feelings. I
13:48
Speaker 1: hate casual.
13:49
Speaker 2: I thrive off adrenaline. I love people that care too much.
13:52
Speaker 2: I love doing whatever I want. I love attention. I
13:55
Speaker 2: love keeping people talking.
13:56
Speaker 1: At least she's honest. Yeah, very accurate description of herself.
13:59
Speaker 1: It was funny because Tammy was on her sister's podcast
14:01
Speaker 1: this week talking about that paparazzi photo of her after
14:05
Speaker 1: live golf at the airport, you know, the one where
14:07
Speaker 1: her hair extensions are just not looking their best. She
14:10
Speaker 1: almost looked like someone from Geordie Shore back in the
14:12
Speaker 1: day that had a huge night out and then they'd stumbled.
14:15
Speaker 1: It was quite iconic, really. Yeah, it was. No Fs
14:18
Speaker 1: were given. Well, she basically said that she was so
14:21
Speaker 1: tired from partying all weekend that that she wanted to
14:25
Speaker 1: sleep in as much as possible before her flight. So
14:28
Speaker 1: she literally left for the airport, you know, didn't spend
14:31
Speaker 1: any time getting ready. She said, ironically, she had a
14:34
Speaker 1: brush in her handbag, but just didn't brush her hair
14:36
Speaker 1: because her sisters were like, could you not have put
14:38
Speaker 1: a hat on? Could you not have done like a
14:39
Speaker 1: slick bun back? And she was just laughing saying she
14:42
Speaker 1: forgets that people know who she is and that paparazzi
14:45
Speaker 1: would be there. And she said, well, it proves that
14:47
Speaker 1: I actually don't invite the paparazzi because why the hell
14:50
Speaker 1: would I give them the heads up that I was
14:51
Speaker 1: at the airport then?
14:52
Speaker 2: Tammy has also finally announced this week that she is
14:55
Speaker 2: appearing on Channel 9's new reality show called Shark. So
14:58
Speaker 2: it's all about scuba diving with sharks in the Bahamas.
15:01
Speaker 1: Sounds really boring. Yeah, I literally have no interest in
15:06
Speaker 1: it whatsoever. Like I obviously want to hear what she says.
15:11
Speaker 1: I got to put it out there. It was a
15:12
Speaker 1: bit like I'm a celeb without Sikowsky on it. I
15:14
Speaker 1: only watched the bits that were on social media because
15:16
Speaker 1: I find that show pretty boring as well.
15:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't say that I'll tune into this. I'll
15:20
Speaker 2: probably just watch it on TikTok because I'm sure someone's
15:23
Speaker 2: going to cut up all the bits that she's in.
15:25
Speaker 1: It's a strange one for her to want to be
15:27
Speaker 1: in as well. Well, she said she doesn't normally say
15:29
Speaker 1: yes to reality shows. She obviously gets a lot of offers.
15:33
Speaker 1: But she said this one actually lined up with her schedule.
15:36
Speaker 1: And as soon as she heard that it was sharks,
15:37
Speaker 1: she said that she was really interested because she said
15:40
Speaker 1: she's an ocean girl and loves adrenaline. And it's funny
15:44
Speaker 1: because clearly she had a good time because she said
15:46
Speaker 1: she's now obsessed with scuba diving and it's now her
15:49
Speaker 1: new hobby.
15:49
Speaker 2: I had to laugh because she also revealed that she
15:52
Speaker 2: got a shark tattoo after appearing on the show. And
15:55
Speaker 2: I feel like Nummert would be rubbing their hands together.
15:58
Speaker 2: That is the numbing cream that she's done a couple
16:00
Speaker 2: of sponsorships with. So was Matt Zukowski when he got
16:02
Speaker 2: his ex's name.
16:04
Speaker 1: Off his ass. Can these people just stop getting tattoos?
16:08
Speaker 1: Have a think about it. It doesn't seem like that
16:09
Speaker 1: big of a deal, does it? Considering she's had all
16:11
Speaker 1: of her exes tattooed on her before, getting a shark, well, ironically,
16:15
Speaker 1: when she shared that she got the tattoo, she was
16:18
Speaker 1: filming a Get Ready With Me video on the way
16:20
Speaker 1: to go get her other tattoos removed. I mean, at
16:23
Speaker 1: least this one is.
16:24
Speaker 2: About an individual experience that she's done and it's not
16:27
Speaker 2: just a boyfriend's name.
16:29
Speaker 1: I suppose that's sort of a positive. I'm really intrigued
16:31
Speaker 1: what Tammy actually says on camera on Shark because she
16:34
Speaker 1: said that while she wants to see the experience and
16:37
Speaker 1: how it looks with the sharks, she doesn't really want
16:40
Speaker 1: to watch herself on TV. I wonder if that's coming
16:42
Speaker 1: off the back of her seemingly poking fun at Matt
16:46
Speaker 1: Sikowsky for crying on I'm a Celeb. And maybe she's like,
16:49
Speaker 1: oh God, I didn't react that well either. Do we
16:51
Speaker 1: reckon that the shark show is kind of going to
16:53
Speaker 1: be a bit like SAS Australia, where there's like a
16:56
Speaker 1: huge backstory on each of the contestants, a bit of
16:58
Speaker 1: a sob story. I'm sure that they're going to go
17:00
Speaker 1: into her marriage breakdown and we're going to hear a
17:02
Speaker 1: bit of her side. Sophie Keisha has vowed never to
17:06
Speaker 1: use automated public toilets again after her worst nightmare came true.
17:11
Speaker 1: The PJ entrepreneur admitted in a reel that she was
17:13
Speaker 1: caught short at her son's football training and was forced
17:17
Speaker 1: to relieve herself in one of the self-cleaning toilets. Now,
17:20
Speaker 1: if you don't know the toilets we're talking about, those
17:23
Speaker 1: are the toilets with the sliding doors that are supposed
17:26
Speaker 1: to automatically lock.
17:27
Speaker 2: And usually you press a button to go in and out.
17:29
Speaker 2: There's also this voice that talks to you over the
17:31
Speaker 2: speakers to tell you how much longer you have in there.
17:35
Speaker 1: When are they self-cleaning? I didn't realize that. Yeah, they self-clean.
17:38
Speaker 1: They do everything.
17:39
Speaker 2: It's like this computer just runs the whole thing. They
17:41
Speaker 2: also play music for you when you're in there so
17:44
Speaker 2: that people can't hear you going to the toilet. I
17:46
Speaker 2: freak out when I go to these toilets because I'm
17:49
Speaker 2: so petrified that the door is going to fling open.
17:51
Speaker 2: And after hearing Sophie Keisha's story, it's made me even
17:55
Speaker 2: more nervous. Yeah, this seems to be a bit of
17:56
Speaker 2: a universal fear for a lot of people. Now, Sophie
17:59
Speaker 2: prefaced that she couldn't believe she was telling this story publicly,
18:02
Speaker 2: but it was too good to keep to herself. So
18:05
Speaker 2: for context, she explained that her bowels were playing up
18:08
Speaker 2: and she hadn't been to the bathroom for a few days.
18:10
Speaker 2: And generally what seems to happen is that nature calls
18:14
Speaker 2: when you're out and about.
18:15
Speaker 1: So of course she needed to go to the toilet
18:17
Speaker 1: when she was at her son's local football training. Isn't
18:20
Speaker 1: that always the way? You're wanting to go, but you can't.
18:23
Speaker 1: And then the only opportunity you have to go is
18:25
Speaker 1: out in public. Like There's something about pooing in public
18:28
Speaker 1: that is just so uncomfortable. Men don't seem to understand
18:32
Speaker 1: it though. Like I've spoken to a lot of guys
18:35
Speaker 1: about it and they'll be like, what's the issue? And
18:37
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, because women judge each other. And if
18:39
Speaker 1: you walk into a toilet and someone's done a smelly poo,
18:42
Speaker 1: I'm going to be like, I actually don't think it's
18:44
Speaker 1: all men. I think it just depends. I think it's
18:46
Speaker 1: more awkward though for men, because if you are a
18:48
Speaker 1: man and you walk into the toilet, if you go
18:50
Speaker 1: straight to a cubicle, everyone knows you're doing a poo. Well,
18:52
Speaker 1: with Sophie, she said she's.
18:53
Speaker 2: Usually funny about pooing in public, but She'd literally been
18:56
Speaker 2: waiting to do this poo for so long that she thought,
18:58
Speaker 2: I've got to do it now. And she said, of course,
19:01
Speaker 2: the club toilets were closed. So this automated toilet was
19:04
Speaker 2: the only one available. So she said when she entered
19:07
Speaker 2: the toilet, the voiceover, the speaker told her that the
19:09
Speaker 2: doors would be automatically locked for 10 minutes. And she
19:12
Speaker 2: said she'd only been in there for a few minutes
19:14
Speaker 2: when the voiceover returned and told her that no movement
19:18
Speaker 2: had been detected. And could she confirm that she was
19:21
Speaker 2: in there by making some movement?
19:23
Speaker 1: My heart would have literally sunk in this moment. You'd
19:25
Speaker 1: be like, oh my God.
19:26
Speaker 2: So she said that she started flapping her arms around
19:30
Speaker 2: while she was sitting on the toilet frantically because she
19:33
Speaker 2: was so scared that the doors were going to open.
19:36
Speaker 1: Now she didn't hear back from the voice. So she
19:38
Speaker 1: thought that she must be in the clear, but she
19:41
Speaker 1: wasn't in the clear. So the voice returned and told
19:43
Speaker 1: her that no movement had been detected. So the doors
19:46
Speaker 1: would be opening shortly.
19:48
Speaker 2: Now Sophie thought that she had some time up her
19:50
Speaker 2: sleeve maybe a few minutes to gather herself and wash
19:52
Speaker 2: her hands but no the doors immediately opened and what
19:57
Speaker 2: unfolded next if you can believe it gets even worse
20:01
Speaker 2: before we throw to what Sophie said I want to
20:03
Speaker 2: point out that these toilets were located directly across from
20:06
Speaker 2: her son's football oval let's take a listen.
20:10
Speaker 3: My worst nightmare came true and that door fucking opened.
20:15
Speaker 3: Not slowly. Didn't give me a countdown. Door will be
20:17
Speaker 3: opening in five, four, three. No, that door opened so
20:23
Speaker 3: fast that I jumped off the toilet, tried to hide
20:26
Speaker 3: in the corner. It's not even the worst part. We're
20:29
Speaker 3: not even at the punchline of the story, guys. I
20:32
Speaker 3: can't believe I'm going to do this, but I have
20:34
Speaker 3: to because I need you to know that every fear
20:36
Speaker 3: you've ever had going in those toilets and will the
20:38
Speaker 3: door open? You think, no, surely not. It will. It's
20:41
Speaker 3: going to open. I'm never using them again. Jumped off
20:44
Speaker 3: the toilet, tried to hide in the corner, aggressively hitting
20:47
Speaker 3: the button, lock, lock, lock. The backed up traffic that
20:51
Speaker 3: had slowly started to make its way out ended up.
20:55
Speaker 1: On the floor. What are the chances? of you being
20:59
Speaker 1: backed up and then it coming out in that moment. Like,
21:02
Speaker 1: I suppose sometimes when you feel anxious, it does sort
21:05
Speaker 1: of get things moving. Yeah, I was going to say,
21:07
Speaker 1: I think when you do have a bit of a
21:08
Speaker 1: nervy stomach, sometimes that's when it does come out. She's
21:11
Speaker 1: painted quite a picture of this. I mean, the fact
21:13
Speaker 1: that her pants were around her knees and the poo
21:15
Speaker 1: was literally sitting on the floor. Thankfully, no one was
21:18
Speaker 1: waiting outside the door to use the toilet. Can you
21:21
Speaker 1: imagine trying to explain that to someone? I was first thinking,
21:24
Speaker 1: why has she said anything about this on social media?
21:26
Speaker 1: But you know, when you have a really awkward moment
21:28
Speaker 1: and you feel like you need to tell everybody because
21:31
Speaker 1: it makes it better for some reason.
21:32
Speaker 2: In case they were somehow there and saw. I mean,
21:35
Speaker 2: she could have probably gone to her grave with this story. Also,
21:37
Speaker 2: these sort of stories go off on social media. I mean,
21:39
Speaker 2: Sophie Keisha has been a bit irrelevant for a couple
21:41
Speaker 2: of years now.
21:42
Speaker 1: She probably thought, okay, I'm going to come back with
21:44
Speaker 1: this poo story. Is this how you want to gain
21:46
Speaker 1: relevance again by talking about doing a poo on the floor? Sophie,
21:48
Speaker 1: I don't think this was part of her marketing strategy
21:50
Speaker 1: to become relevant again to share that she accidentally pooed
21:53
Speaker 1: in a public toilet on the floor.
21:55
Speaker 2: Well, before she had a daughter, Esme, she was trying
21:57
Speaker 2: to make a return as a bit of a parenting
22:00
Speaker 2: influencer and where she would be really honest about things.
22:03
Speaker 2: Maybe she just took it to a new level with
22:04
Speaker 2: sharing about her poo. I just want to get back
22:06
Speaker 2: to the fact that her pants were down by her
22:09
Speaker 2: knees when all of this happened. I want to know,
22:11
Speaker 2: and I feel like we have spoken about this on
22:13
Speaker 2: the podcast before, but when you go to the toilet,
22:14
Speaker 2: do you pull your pants all the way down? Because
22:16
Speaker 2: I thought that was sort of something that men did.
22:18
Speaker 1: No, I don't. I just sort of pull them down
22:20
Speaker 1: enough to expose the areas that need to be exposed.
22:24
Speaker 2: I wasn't particularly exposed in a public toilet to have
22:26
Speaker 2: my pants literally by my ankles.
22:28
Speaker 1: Well, I wouldn't want them on the ground either. It
22:30
Speaker 1: would gross me out. See, in this situation, I wouldn't
22:32
Speaker 1: have been sitting on the toilet seat. I would have
22:34
Speaker 1: been squatting.
22:35
Speaker 4: Yeah.
22:35
Speaker 1: But if you squat to do a poo, if you've
22:37
Speaker 1: been constipated.
22:38
Speaker 2: Yeah.
22:38
Speaker 1: If you're a bit backed up, like you're hardly going
22:40
Speaker 1: to be squatting. Well, I would have put toilet paper
22:41
Speaker 1: over the seat at least. Well, she could have. She
22:44
Speaker 1: could have.
22:44
Speaker 2: I mean, again, I'm throwing your husband's friends in it,
22:48
Speaker 2: but don't a few of them literally take all of
22:51
Speaker 2: their clothes off to do a poo?
22:52
Speaker 1: Have we spoken about this? Yeah, we have spoken about this.
22:54
Speaker 1: It's bizarre. I've never heard anyone doing this before, but
22:57
Speaker 1: I think it might be a cleanliness thing. But to me,
23:00
Speaker 1: that just seems dirty. Like, It seems like a lot
23:03
Speaker 1: of work to do a poo. Don't some of them
23:04
Speaker 1: also have a shower after every poo that they do?
23:06
Speaker 1: Or am I making this up? No. Surely these are
23:08
Speaker 1: home poos. This does sound familiar.
23:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'd have to be an at-home poo or do
23:12
Speaker 2: they just literally directly drive home after they've done a poo?
23:15
Speaker 1: I hope people have eaten their breakfast before hearing this segment. Look,
23:18
Speaker 1: it's a Friday.
23:18
Speaker 2: I think we're allowed to have a bit of poo talk.
23:20
Speaker 2: I want to also talk about, again, we are really
23:23
Speaker 2: going here with this topic. I felt inspired after Sophie
23:25
Speaker 2: Casey's opened up. But has there been a moment where
23:27
Speaker 2: you've been caught short like this and you've.
23:30
Speaker 1: Had to either use it? Or done a poo on
23:31
Speaker 1: the ground. Well, yeah. Well, not poo on the ground,
23:33
Speaker 1: but do you have a funny toilet story? No, I
23:35
Speaker 1: haven't pooed on the ground. Do you have a funny
23:36
Speaker 1: toilet story though? None I'd like to share on this podcast.
23:40
Speaker 1: I mean, I've got a funny toilet story about you, Sophie,
23:42
Speaker 1: that I'm probably not allowed to share. Oh, actually, I
23:45
Speaker 1: do have quite a funny relevant story to share. So
23:48
Speaker 1: last week or the week before, I was talking about
23:50
Speaker 1: how I started taking those organ red meat supplements. Oh, yeah.
23:54
Speaker 1: And so you were like saying how fantastic.
23:56
Speaker 4: Yeah.
23:56
Speaker 1: On the packet, it said to take four. And I
23:58
Speaker 1: was like, that sounds like a lot. Four. Did you
24:00
Speaker 1: take four of those? It said to take four. Like
24:02
Speaker 1: every day it said to take four. And I thought,
24:04
Speaker 1: do you know what? I feel so bad. Like if
24:06
Speaker 1: I take four, hopefully I'll feel better. Popped four. This
24:10
Speaker 1: was around 4pm and we had dinner plans with our friend. Anyway,
24:14
Speaker 1: I was sitting there at the restaurant and then suddenly
24:17
Speaker 1: it felt like my stomach just dropped. And the worst
24:20
Speaker 1: thing was we'd been given the bill. And so they
24:22
Speaker 1: were expecting us to leave quite soon. And it was
24:24
Speaker 1: about a 30 minute drive for me. And I thought. Well,
24:26
Speaker 1: there was no one left in the restaurant except us. Yeah,
24:28
Speaker 1: I was like, I cannot leave. Anyway, what unfollowed was
24:31
Speaker 1: quite unpleasant. And a warning to anybody who has been
24:35
Speaker 1: vegetarian for a number of years. I don't think I've
24:37
Speaker 1: had red meat since I was probably like. 14. Well,
24:40
Speaker 1: not even that, probably 10 or something. So it's not
24:43
Speaker 1: a good idea to take four beef liver tablets. I
24:46
Speaker 1: wouldn't have thought so.
24:47
Speaker 2: I mean. I, my story that Kate's referring to, I'm
24:51
Speaker 2: not going to go into the nitty gritty of it,
24:53
Speaker 2: but it was quite awkward. I got severe food poisoning
24:56
Speaker 2: when I was working at a PR firm and we
24:58
Speaker 2: were actually promoting the new restaurant. And usually we weren't
25:01
Speaker 2: allowed to eat food at these functions, but we were
25:04
Speaker 2: given some of the finger food. I had the worst
25:07
Speaker 2: food poisoning of my life. I rang up my boss
25:10
Speaker 2: to say, hey, I want to warn you because we
25:13
Speaker 2: literally had all these food bloggers there. I'm like, I
25:15
Speaker 2: have been struck down with the worst food poisoning. We
25:17
Speaker 2: might need to let people know just to hope they're okay.
25:21
Speaker 2: I don't know, try and have a bit of crisis
25:23
Speaker 2: management here.
25:23
Speaker 1: No, let's just ignore it. They didn't want to do
25:27
Speaker 1: anything about it.
25:28
Speaker 2: I left this PR firm a couple of weeks later,
25:30
Speaker 2: but it was, I think I had a week off
25:32
Speaker 2: work that I was that unwell.
25:34
Speaker 1: Yeah. It wasn't fun sharing a bathroom with you, Sophie.
25:37
Speaker 1: I'll just say that. I won't throw you under the
25:38
Speaker 1: bus of what took place.
25:40
Speaker 2: No, no.
25:41
Speaker 1: On that note. There wasn't poo on the floor, let's
25:43
Speaker 1: just say. It was somewhere else.
25:45
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I did end up getting rubbish thrown over
25:49
Speaker 2: my bed by you.
25:52
Speaker 1: Oh, let's not go into this again. After I was
25:54
Speaker 1: very sick.
25:54
Speaker 4: Anyway.
25:54
Speaker 1: This fight gets brought up quite often in the Torver household. Yes.
26:00
Speaker 2: Steph Glessmith and Laura Henshaw's Fitness Empire kick is getting
26:03
Speaker 2: a studio. Now, this has to be one of the
26:05
Speaker 2: worst kept secrets because For months, there's been persistent rumours
26:09
Speaker 2: that the online platform is expanding.
26:12
Speaker 1: To a physical space.
26:13
Speaker 2: It was this week that the entrepreneurs confirmed the news
26:16
Speaker 2: on their podcast, calling it their biggest news ever. Let's
26:20
Speaker 2: take a listen to some of what they said.
26:22
Speaker 4: As we've spoken about a lot, we're past a decade,
26:25
Speaker 4: very exciting. Through that time, we have had many opportunities
26:30
Speaker 4: come up around opening an in-person space for Kik, a
26:36
Speaker 4: studio space.
26:37
Speaker 1: Workout space. Like whatever it is. Exactly right.
26:39
Speaker 4: Some type of space where people can move their bodies.
26:41
Speaker 1: Even like a smoothie bar at one point.
26:43
Speaker 4: There's been a lot of opportunities to open something in
26:47
Speaker 4: real life.
26:47
Speaker 2: Yeah.
26:49
Speaker 4: And things that we have explored. But every single time
26:53
Speaker 4: we've come back to the same thing. in that if
26:55
Speaker 4: it wasn't going to be something really different and something
26:59
Speaker 4: that we wholeheartedly felt like could add so much value
27:03
Speaker 4: to people's lives. I mean, this is the test we
27:05
Speaker 4: do for everything we do at Kik. And it is very, very, very, very, very,
27:10
Speaker 4: very exciting. And so what we are doing with the
27:13
Speaker 4: studio is bringing a brand new era of mindful movement
27:17
Speaker 4: to Australia. And as I said, I know I'm being
27:20
Speaker 4: very vague, but don't worry, we're going to be able
27:22
Speaker 4: to have more detail for you every single week.
27:26
Speaker 2: I feel like they were kind of right not to
27:28
Speaker 2: jump on board the smoothie bar idea. I feel like
27:30
Speaker 2: that could have probably fizzled out. They did say that
27:32
Speaker 2: they didn't want to do anything half-assed and they didn't
27:35
Speaker 2: want to just slap a label on any old product.
27:38
Speaker 1: Well, Steph used to be a boost juice girl, so
27:39
Speaker 1: she had a bit of experience. Is she going to
27:41
Speaker 1: make some of the smoothies? Is she just your stereotypical
27:44
Speaker 1: boost juice girl?
27:45
Speaker 2: You know when you pick like what jobs influencers would
27:47
Speaker 2: have had as teenagers?
27:49
Speaker 1: I can tell I can't jetty surf. Yeah, like the
27:51
Speaker 1: popular girl. Well, what about Laura Henshaw? Where would she
27:53
Speaker 1: have worked? Athlete's foot.
27:56
Speaker 2: Yes why like that because you know they know all
28:00
Speaker 2: about the technology so she's very athletic but she's also
28:02
Speaker 2: very smart and she seems like a really kind person
28:05
Speaker 2: she'd be that person who's got patience to talk through
28:08
Speaker 2: all the school kids about it it's funny because she's
28:10
Speaker 2: spoken about her part-time job before when she was a
28:12
Speaker 2: teenager and she actually worked in an italian restaurant oh
28:15
Speaker 2: i can kind of see that too actually And Steph
28:17
Speaker 2: Clare Smith worked at Baker's Delight. And we used to
28:19
Speaker 2: work at Baker's Delight. That was our first job.
28:21
Speaker 1: We should actually make a list of influencers and on
28:23
Speaker 1: the subs channel, guess what their first jobs were. I
28:26
Speaker 1: know Matt Hay does that. Yeah, he did that series
28:29
Speaker 1: on it, which was hilarious.
28:31
Speaker 2: Now, getting back to this new studio, can I just
28:34
Speaker 2: add Sammy Robinson totally would have worked at Cook Eye.
28:37
Speaker 1: I think that Sammy Robinson is too nice to work
28:40
Speaker 1: at Cook Eye.
28:40
Speaker 2: That being said, the Cook Eye girls at Marion where
28:42
Speaker 2: I go are lovely. But anyway, that's a side note.
28:44
Speaker 2: They would have been scary when you're growing up.
28:46
Speaker 1: But I think she would have worked at JR's, like
28:48
Speaker 1: the surf club. Maybe. That surf shop. Anyway, let's get
28:51
Speaker 1: back to this. Oh, what about like Universal or something?
28:54
Speaker 1: Like something more understated, I think. Oh, General Pants Co.? Yeah. Yeah.
28:59
Speaker 1: That sort of vibe.
29:00
Speaker 2: Getting back to Kik, they mentioned in this episode that
29:04
Speaker 2: for the past five years, people have been urging them
29:06
Speaker 2: to open a Pilates studio because Pilates is a big
29:09
Speaker 2: feature of their app, but they said it just didn't
29:11
Speaker 2: feel right to open one. Now they were quite vague
29:14
Speaker 2: on their podcast about the studio and promised to update
29:17
Speaker 2: their followers with.
29:18
Speaker 1: More information in the coming days.
29:20
Speaker 2: They told their listeners though, that they were opening a
29:22
Speaker 2: waiting list for people to be the first to get
29:25
Speaker 2: information about the new studio.
29:26
Speaker 1: So they're clearly trying to get people to sign up
29:28
Speaker 1: to it and create a bit of hype. So on Wednesday,
29:31
Speaker 1: Steph and Laura officially shared the news to their social
29:34
Speaker 1: media followers. And it turns out that it was actually
29:37
Speaker 1: a trip to New York, which inspired Laura. So she
29:40
Speaker 1: said she really loved the way that brands in New
29:42
Speaker 1: York were able to create this authentic experience for their communities.
29:46
Speaker 1: And she'd seen nothing like this in Australia. And she
29:49
Speaker 1: ended up texting Steph and saying, we have to do this.
29:51
Speaker 1: So the new space is called Kick Studio. Now, the
29:54
Speaker 1: location hasn't yet been revealed, but I don't think it's
29:57
Speaker 1: going to be a secret for too long because Steph
29:59
Speaker 1: shared photos outside of the studio, which featured a large
30:03
Speaker 1: sign which said Kick Studio. Now, the women have also
30:06
Speaker 1: launched an Instagram account for the studio, which so far
30:08
Speaker 1: has 12,000 followers. And in its bio, it says, move
30:11
Speaker 1: in a way like never before. I think this is
30:14
Speaker 1: going to be a huge success for them. I mean,
30:16
Speaker 1: the fact they've already got 12,000 people following the Instagram account,
30:19
Speaker 1: they're going to have people knocking down the door to
30:22
Speaker 1: get in. Yeah, I'm really eager to see what is
30:25
Speaker 1: actually going to be on offer in this studio because
30:28
Speaker 1: there's been such a big emphasis in the marketing on
30:30
Speaker 1: this being a fitness experience like no other. I mean,
30:34
Speaker 1: in the early days of Kik, I remember Steph and
30:36
Speaker 1: Laura toured around to quite a few different cities. And
30:40
Speaker 1: they brought a lot of fitness classes to their community
30:42
Speaker 1: with big success, similar to what we saw Kayla Asinas
30:45
Speaker 1: do with her boot camps and also Ashley Bynes. It's
30:47
Speaker 1: kind of got that vibe because Ashley Bynes launched her
30:50
Speaker 1: own gyms. I mean, they no longer exist that I
30:54
Speaker 1: know of. Yeah, but I think Kik is at a
30:55
Speaker 1: different level to Ashley Bynes. Oh, Ashley Bynes was huge
30:58
Speaker 1: back in the day, but it is much more of
31:00
Speaker 1: a sophisticated business, I suppose, in terms of they have
31:03
Speaker 1: so many employees. It's clear that they, you know, they've
31:07
Speaker 1: got in a new CEO. Laura was doing a brilliant
31:10
Speaker 1: job at that already. But, you know, Laura and Steph
31:14
Speaker 1: are now taking on the role of being the faces
31:16
Speaker 1: of the brand. And I sometimes think in those sorts
31:19
Speaker 1: of businesses, it probably makes a lot of sense to
31:22
Speaker 1: have someone that's a bit more impartial as the CEO.
31:25
Speaker 1: I mean, we saw Shameless Media do that recently. They
31:30
Speaker 1: both have taken a step back in terms of letting
31:32
Speaker 1: someone else lead the business. And I think that is
31:35
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have the right people in place,
31:37
Speaker 1: I think that's what drives success even further, knowing actually
31:41
Speaker 1: when to take that step back. Yeah, I mean, you
31:42
Speaker 1: can tell as well that part of Kik's aim is
31:45
Speaker 1: to remove Steph and Laura somewhat from the branding of
31:49
Speaker 1: the business. I mean, in terms of they have- Well,
31:50
Speaker 1: they have to eventually. Yeah, so they've got other trainers
31:53
Speaker 1: on board. It's a bit like what Kayla at Senus did.
31:56
Speaker 1: And she's spoken in great detail about how that was
31:59
Speaker 1: a strategy in order to sell the business. Because if
32:01
Speaker 1: you're trying to sell your business, If your brand is
32:04
Speaker 1: just focused on you and you stuff up, that's a
32:07
Speaker 1: big no-no for people who want to buy into the
32:09
Speaker 1: brand because the business can just fail. I wonder if
32:12
Speaker 1: Steph and Laura will actually host fitness classes to their community.
32:16
Speaker 2: I think one of the big things about Kick is
32:18
Speaker 2: that they have dot a lot of I's and cross
32:20
Speaker 2: a lot of T's in terms of wanting to do
32:22
Speaker 2: everything by the book. So part of their app, which
32:25
Speaker 2: stands apart from some of the others in the early days,
32:27
Speaker 2: is the fact that they've had personal trainers, like a
32:30
Speaker 2: number of personal trainers run all of their classes and
32:33
Speaker 2: Steph and Laura work alongside those trainers because they don't
32:36
Speaker 2: have the qualifications. Actually in saying that, I think that
32:39
Speaker 2: Laura Henshaw has recently got some qualifications in PT. So
32:43
Speaker 2: maybe she could host some of the classes now. I mean,
32:47
Speaker 2: maybe appear alongside a trainer like they do in their videos.
32:51
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously they'll probably host.
32:53
Speaker 1: A bunch of influencers in the studio to begin with
32:55
Speaker 1: where they'll do that. But I just think wow, what
32:57
Speaker 1: a big selling point that would be to actually work
32:59
Speaker 1: out with Steph and Laura. I think their community would
33:02
Speaker 1: love it.
33:02
Speaker 2: Well, it does make more sense for them to do
33:03
Speaker 2: in-person things because they've recently also had a lot of
33:06
Speaker 2: success with their run clubs that they've been doing around
33:09
Speaker 2: the country. So it seems like a no-brainer to start
33:12
Speaker 2: small with a studio. I am going to be fascinated
33:16
Speaker 2: to see how it all works. My feeling is that
33:18
Speaker 2: it's going to be some sort of high-end membership offering
33:21
Speaker 2: because it does seem to be a bit of an
33:24
Speaker 2: exclusive club. That's the sort of vibe I'm getting. Which
33:27
Speaker 2: is interesting because it does seem to be in contrast
33:29
Speaker 2: with Kik's core values about including everyone and everyone having
33:33
Speaker 2: a spot there. But if you are opening up a
33:37
Speaker 2: small studio, you're not trying to appeal to the masses,
33:43
Speaker 2: there is going to have to be an exclusive element
33:45
Speaker 2: to it. I agree.
33:45
Speaker 1: It will be interesting to see how much this membership
33:47
Speaker 1: to the Kick Studio costs. I'm assuming that they probably
33:50
Speaker 1: have a grand plan to open more of these studios
33:53
Speaker 1: across Melbourne and then eventually dip their toe into interstate opportunities.
33:58
Speaker 1: I want to take my hat off to them because
34:00
Speaker 1: I think it is an even bigger achievement considering they've
34:02
Speaker 1: both had children in the last year. I'm very excited
34:05
Speaker 1: to see this come to life as A kick girl.
34:07
Speaker 1: I've been a kick girl for what, since 2018? So
34:09
Speaker 1: it's really exciting to see how far they've come in business.
34:12
Speaker 1: I think that is all we have time for today.
34:14
Speaker 1: I hope you've stayed with us.
