Hi guys, welcome back to Two Worlds Clyde Podcast. On today's episode, we have Troy Candy. I hope you guys enjoy. But mate, that's how we start. Troy Candy, welcome to Two Worlds Clyde Podcast. How you going? Thanks for having us, mate. You're welcome. What are you down here for in Adelaide?
Troy Candy 0:26
Uh, launching a, um, we just rolled out our energy drink with OTR. So it's big for us. They're a big, big retailer. So we're going to have like a little private, um, celebration, uh, and we're filming all the content and stuff for it. So. Yeah. Nice. Nice. What's the energy drink? Flipside energy. So, um, yeah, it's just a little bit of a point of difference. Just myself and Adrian, we're a hundred percent owners. Aussie, Aussie, like Aussie owned, Aussie made, um, And then we've just got a bit of a different product. A lot of it comes from the sugar cane. So I don't know. It's a bit of fun.
Sam Bamford 1:02
Naturally producing in Australia.
Troy Candy 1:04
Yeah, it's good, man. We love it.
Sam Bamford 1:05
Australian-made. This is what we want. Australian-made products by Australian-made gentlemen for the Australian public.
Troy Candy 1:11
Exactly. No, we love it. And we've had a really good response. The people that you're up against in the energy industry is billion, billion, billion dollar companies. They're the big dogs. uh considering they haven't squashed us out and if anything it's just getting bigger we've got a really good cult following though we're getting a lot of support from yeah i guess all our aussie followers and stuff it's awesome well adrian patelli's got a pretty big uh following for pushing back against some of these uh billion dollar organizations i know he's a billion dollar billionaire himself but
Sam Bamford 1:45
Even some of the shit that happened over the past couple of months with the petrol stuff that he brought out and the people that tried to come after him. I've seen some senators and MPs had some digs in him as well.
Troy Candy 2:00
Yeah, you know, unfortunately, there's not really anything he's doing wrong, if anything, that he's doing a lot of right. So they start really fine picking, like, so it was like, oh, his petrol station was causing too much traffic.
Sam Bamford 2:14
Yeah, he's upsetting the apple cart, mate. You can't have another player come in the game.
Troy Candy 2:18
Nah, so it's now he's rattling from, um, not just the petrol, but groceries to sort of like major import for like, um, construction stuff. So yeah, I guess everyone's had a monopoly on it too long. Times are changing, you know, you've now got young money and that there's people with money that also have their own following now, which has never happened really.
Sam Bamford 2:44
Well, that's it. You always had to be in the media. And then the price gouging happening by Woolworths and Coles, who are ironically owned by the same organization, they just pivot off against each other and act like we've got a choice in this world. They're both owned by BlackRock.
Troy Candy 2:59
Yeah.
Sam Bamford 2:59
You know, BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street. They practically own like fucking 18% of the world. Yeah.
Troy Candy 3:05
It's not a bad stake, is it?
Sam Bamford 3:06
Wow. And then they own half the media organizations around the world as well. And then the other half, they don't own it. It's owned by other billionaires and other corporations out of pushing a narrative, certainly down on the Australian people and obviously the public as well. But, mate, you used to live in Melbourne, didn't you? Yeah. So tell me why you moved away from Melbourne.
Troy Candy 3:26
um look obviously when you don't really leave anywhere you don't know any better so everything was all good there and um i just grew up i had really i grew up with like real police harassment because of my cars and social media i used to buy tickets for your cars did you over a decade never won there you go we had a few sa winners back in the day yeah Um, and I had a lot of police presence. So, um, in the terms of just really stupid stuff, like, um, I'd get a defect in the mail. I wouldn't even get pulled over and they say, oh, we saw on social media, car looked too low and all this. And they'd cancel my rego, fire me, all this shit just from like, and then it got to like where they were sitting at the front of my shop.
