1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,360
Right. Can you hear us?

2
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:09,840
Yeah, can you hear us?

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,600
I feel like this feels a bit more nerve wracking.

4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,920
Talking to the guests. I know. Because you want it to be so good. Although it's funny

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,720
because we can record this over and over.

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:18,720
Exactly.

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,960
So there's absolutely no real reason this can't be perfect because we can record it

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:22,960
as many times as we want today.

9
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,720
Exactly. I've been practicing at home, but you know, sometimes when you're like, oh shit,

10
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,720
did I say that right? Does that sound like I'm reading?

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:29,720
Yeah.

12
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,000
It's natural. But obviously it needs to be read.

13
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,840
Yeah, exactly. And it needs to be standard. So it can't be like super ad libby.

14
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,600
Yeah. Exactly. Because it was just it ended up missing it. Well, not you, me.

15
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,760
Definitely me. I have another podcast coming up. I meant to tell you I was just invited

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,320
to talk on the Salad Stop podcast.

17
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,320
Oh, the Salad Stop?

18
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,320
Yeah.

19
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,320
They have a podcast?

20
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,560
They have a podcast. Salad Stop has a podcast, which is news to me as well. And it's a Salad

21
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,120
Stop group. Right. So it's Salad Stop, Heybo.

22
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,120
I've never heard of Heybo.

23
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,680
Heybo is the healthy bowls.

24
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:04,680
Oh, yeah.

25
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:05,680
It's healthy bowls.

26
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:06,680
Oh, Heybo. Yes.

27
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,640
They you know, they dropped flash. You saw that whole news, right? That flash coffee

28
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,720
just literally pulled out of Singapore with no notice.

29
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:13,720
No, really?

30
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:14,720
Did you see this poll?

31
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,000
Yeah. It pulled out of Singapore. 11 locations.

32
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Yeah, because they were everywhere.

33
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,200
Didn't tell the employees. Didn't tell. Just literally just cut and run. Like they just

34
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,440
shuttered the stores and apparently they still owe a bunch of money to investors. And it's

35
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:27,440
like a whole big drama.

36
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,400
You're from China, right? From what I understand.

37
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,440
I thought it was Malaysia. Where's flash coffee from?

38
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,480
I'm not sure, actually.

39
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,960
I thought someone was telling me that it was a Chinese brand.

40
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:41,160
Really? Do you think because Luckin came in, they were like, well, we're screwed now. Flash

41
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:46,880
coffee. Where from? Where are you from? Tech enabled coffee. Indonesia and Thailand.

42
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:47,880
Oh, wow.

43
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,600
Yeah. After winning hearts in Indonesia. Hey, I liked flash coffee.

44
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,600
I thought it was all right as well.

45
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,280
I was totally fine with it. The kids loved it because they like the Nutella shake and

46
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,040
all that. But it's gone.

47
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,040
Wow.

48
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,840
But I do like Luckin as well. Have you had it?

49
00:01:58,840 --> 00:01:59,840
I've not had that one.

50
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,080
I don't trust it though. Did I tell you this? I have this whole conspiracy thing about it.

51
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,640
I haven't seen it at all.

52
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,640
Really?

53
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,640
So maybe I've not been out.

54
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,200
I swear to you, there's like 56 locations in Singapore. Something like this. How many

55
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,200
Luckin in Singapore?

56
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,200
How do you spell it?

57
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,440
L-U-C-K-I-N. And that is directly from China. They call it Chinese Starbucks.

58
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,440
How have I not seen it?

59
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,440
Yeah, Luckin coffee.

60
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,360
Things like I don't like Starbucks or anything. So I'm really fussy now when it comes to coffee.

61
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,320
Yeah. Well, I mean, again, they call it Chinese Starbucks just because there's so freaking

62
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:28,320
many.

63
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,320
Yeah, there's 12 now.

64
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,320
The one with the blue logo.

65
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,400
Yes, that's exactly. That's exactly. That's exactly. That's literally the one that I'm

66
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,320
talking about. And they did this big intro promotion that was hugely successful, which

67
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,280
is your first drink is 99 cents.

68
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,280
Okay.

69
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,280
So yeah. What did you think? What did you think?

70
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,480
Yeah, I mean, I forgot about it since actually. Just, you know, subscribe to it or something.

71
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:51,480
Yeah.

72
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,480
Oh, you drank the coffee.

73
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,480
The tea actually.

74
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,480
Oh, the tea.

75
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:55,480
It was okay.

76
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,480
It was okay. I wouldn't know about tea.

77
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,480
Something that a young person can drink like a mocha frappuccino.

78
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,480
Yeah, that would never happen for me.

79
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,480
First of all, I don't have enough caffeine to sustain my life.

80
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:09,480
It's all sugar.

81
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:16,240
It's a bit of a sugar rush. But yeah, so Luckin coffee is this Chinese Starbucks brand, but

82
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,680
I don't trust it for two reasons. So their big product, their main product is the coconut

83
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:20,680
latte.

84
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:21,680
Okay.

85
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,680
And you cannot find anywhere on the website, the nutrition information or the ingredients,

86
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,040
meaning is it even coconut milk? Is it coconut flavor with normal milk?

87
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,040
Yeah.

88
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,680
There's literally no way to find out what you're drinking, which is terrifying.

89
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,080
Yeah. Like if I cannot read the ingredients of whatever it is that I'm ordering, I am

90
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,080
not doing it.

91
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,080
Not doing it.

92
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,080
Yeah. And there is no, I mean, internationally, because I even searched the Chinese website

93
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,560
and was asking my husband, I was like, does this say anything about ingredients? He was

94
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,240
like, absolutely does not. And I was like, this is weird.

95
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:50,240
Yeah.

96
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,800
So then you have no idea what, what that is.

97
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,640
Yeah. So, and I mean, it tastes so damn good. There's gotta be tons of stuff in there.

98
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,280
Actually, I think I, now that you mentioned it, the coconut thing, I think I've seen it

99
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,800
somewhere and I thought, it's called coconut latte or something.

100
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,240
Yes, it's coconut latte and it's like world famous coconut latte.

101
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,080
And I saw it and in my head, I thought, oh, that could be an option. Maybe it's just a

102
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,080
latte with coconut milk.

103
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,080
Yeah.

104
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,080
But if it tastes so good, then it probably isn't.

105
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:19,400
I will say it definitely tastes unsweetened. Like it definitely is real coconut, let's

106
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,400
say.

107
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,400
Yeah.

108
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,400
But like, you don't just don't.

109
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,560
Like, again, what is the source? Like is it canned coconut milk? Is it like, there's no

110
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,960
way to really know what it is.

111
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:28,960
Yeah.

112
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,160
So, and also the caffeine punch was not as strong as I needed it to be.

113
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,160
Yeah.

114
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,360
I need it to like make my eyes bleed.

115
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,360
Yeah.

116
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:39,360
Get back.

117
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,720
I mean, you guys are nutritionists. So like usually I don't think of all the ingredients

118
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:44,720
and stuff.

119
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:45,720
Yeah.

120
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:46,720
Just like what it is and you know.

121
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:47,720
Yeah. What tastes good?

122
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:48,720
Yeah, exactly.

123
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:56,600
Like my approach is always like, I am a cereal ingredient reader. I'll go to the supermarket.

124
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,160
If I'm buying something packaged, I will stand there, turn it over, like, what's in this?

125
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,160
Yeah. Yeah.

126
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,160
And that's just the way.

127
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,000
I just want to know. Like I am still someone who will drink, like I will drink my pumpkin

128
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,280
spice latte, which is like.

129
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:09,480
But you know what's in there.

130
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,320
But I know exactly how it's made and how many grams of sugar in it. And I know if I get

131
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,680
two pumps versus four, I can save myself 13 grams of sugar. Like I can control it.

132
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:18,680
Yeah.

133
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,880
I know what it is so I can control it. Whereas this coconut latte, I was like, is there something

134
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,440
I could ask for that I don't like, is it you can ask for no sugar? So that is the thing.

135
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,680
But you know that their whole business model is that there's you don't speak to the baristas.

136
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:31,680
How do you do it?

137
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,920
You order through an app and then it your then your number comes up and you pick it

138
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:36,920
up from the counter.

139
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:37,920
Oh, that's it.

140
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,080
You never interact with a human being.

141
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,080
Wow.

142
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,080
At any point.

143
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,080
That's interesting. Yeah.

144
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,080
But you have to download the app.

145
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,640
You have to. It's the only way to order. You cannot go to the counter and order a coffee.

146
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:47,640
You have to do it through the app.

147
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,920
That's a membership thing as well.

148
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,600
Yeah, they definitely have a membership thing.

149
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,640
Because I don't know if you if it's the same here, but in the UK, there's this like a coffee

150
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,960
shop is either Costa or Cafe Nero. I think it's Costa.

151
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:01,440
I do know Costa, which I like it.

152
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,440
I like that place.

153
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,480
So no, is it Costa? Yeah. So you basically pay a monthly subscription and it's like 10

154
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,240
pound a month and you can unlimited coffee.

155
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,240
No way.

156
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,240
And like honestly, no joke, right? Because my mom, she signed up for it and she would

157
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,040
be like, right, OK, I'm going to Costa, but they have got a limit.

158
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:24,000
So the way it works is you cannot buy more than one within half an hour.

159
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,440
I mean, that's that's barely a limit.

160
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:27,840
That's barely a limit.

161
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:32,480
Right. So you have to keep you can keep going back, but you have to buy one like every half

162
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,480
an hour.

163
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,360
I mean, that in no way would like, for example, if you and I went there together and we were

164
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,200
going to work for an hour, you could get your first coffee and then half hour later, I will

165
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,200
go get my coffee.

166
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,200
Exactly.

167
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,200
We can still have free coffee.

168
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,200
Exactly.

169
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,200
And then things will just.

170
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,200
Yeah. And just chill.

171
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,880
Yeah, because it's like free refills in a way.

172
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,160
You just you naturally every half hour.

173
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,160
And this is the other thing.

174
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:59,760
It's like when I used to when I got when I was at university, I got obsessed with Starbucks

175
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:00,760
Chai Tea Lattes.

176
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,680
Oh, yeah, they are good.

177
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,600
And they were three pound fifty.

178
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,640
And I think I was having like three a day.

179
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:07,640
God, sounds so unhealthy.

180
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:08,640
Right.

181
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:09,640
Three days.

182
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:10,640
It's expensive.

183
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:11,640
It sounds expensive.

184
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:12,640
Yeah.

185
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,560
Because, you know, like in one day I would be spending more than 10 pounds.

186
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,560
That's that is a really high.

187
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,560
That's higher than my personal cost.

188
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,560
Yeah.

189
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:19,560
Yeah.

190
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,560
Yeah.

191
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:21,560
You know.

192
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,400
And then I remember my dad found out and he's like, right, you are not drinking.

193
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,360
I think at the end of the month I stopped like I made a conscious effort.

194
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,360
Yeah.

195
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,560
At the end of the month, I was able to go out and buy some boots because I saved that

196
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:33,560
much money.

197
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:34,560
I mean, it is that much money.

198
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:35,560
That is a lot of money.

199
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:36,560
Yeah.

200
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,400
Although I'm not like I said, I don't need to reveal my Starbucks budget either, because

201
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,680
like the kids like my kids love the signature chocolate.

202
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,720
Do you have your face on their wall of fame?

203
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,000
I have to be one of their top customers.

204
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,400
I have to.

205
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:56,000
There's almost no way that I'm not for the duration of time and the amount of money.

206
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Yeah.

207
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,160
Like both the loyalty perspective and the net number.

208
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,160
Like it has to be.

209
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,160
Do you remember when you wrote your name down?

210
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,160
Yeah.

211
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,160
Your face and like Amanda.

212
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,160
Yeah.

213
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,160
Oh, this lady.

214
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,520
I have a friend who did have his face on their hall of fame or whatever it was, but then

215
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,200
now he's actually stopped drinking coffee.

216
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,720
I think he just realized, I think this is too much, but he used to, it was a picture

217
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:16,720
of him on the wall.

218
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:17,720
I mean, I deserve it.

219
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,720
I'll tell you that.

220
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,720
I definitely deserve it.

221
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:20,720
You should.

222
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,520
You should go in there and be like, my face up there.

223
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,520
Yeah.

224
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,960
I'll show you my account with like my star's history or whatever.

225
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,440
It has to be the best.

226
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,200
I think I was that a few years ago, but I've just stopped drinking.

227
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,400
Now I just make coffee at home and it's probably because I'm supercharging my coffee.

228
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,040
Like I'm adding in my collagen, my glycine, my NMN.

229
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,920
I'm like putting so much, oh, creatine.

230
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,720
I'm like adding everything into my coffee just so it's easier to get my supplements.

231
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,520
I do put creatine in my home coffee.

232
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:46,520
Yeah, so do I.

233
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,680
And it has to be the flavorless stuff.

234
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:50,680
Oh God.

235
00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:51,680
Yeah.

236
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:55,600
I've had, I've added some, I added NMN cause I'm putting that into my coffee.

237
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:56,600
Okay.

238
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,600
And what I did was I think I changed the one I bought and I didn't realize it had trans

239
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,520
reservital in there and I put it in and I was like, Oh my God, this is so bitter.

240
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:05,520
It's ruined my coffee.

241
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,520
So you have to be really careful about what goes into your coffee.

242
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,520
Yeah.

243
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,520
Luckily, like I said, creatine, you don't taste anything.

244
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:11,520
No, no, no, no.

245
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:12,520
It literally disappears.

246
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,520
It's that is like another reason it's fantastic.

247
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:15,520
Yeah.

248
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:16,520
All right.

249
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:17,520
Okay.

250
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:18,520
Shall we try?

251
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:19,520
I've got like 15 minutes of content actually.

252
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:20,520
Amazing.

253
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,520
I don't know why, but it's pretty rolling.

254
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:24,520
Yeah.

255
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,520
Any type of content.

256
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:32,100
Yeah.

257
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:39,260
Awesome.

258
00:09:39,260 --> 00:09:46,880
Awesome.
