Speaker 2: I'm excited. The crisp has come. It has the crisp

11
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: has come.

12
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 3: Well, today we have a spicy little number that I

13
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 3: am so excited to get into and we are going

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: to be deinfluencing you with the things we think are

15
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: a cult yep, yep. So we decided to do this

16
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 3: because it's been a bit of a trending topic and

17
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 3: just a fun, little, fun little gas bag on the web,

18
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 3: on the world Wide Web, and we wanted to add

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 3: our little things that we think are cult and we

20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 3: don't know what each other has brought to the table,

21
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 3: but I am ever so excited to get into it.

22
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: Before we do. What are you obsessed with this week?

23
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: This week I'm obsessed with the butterfly effect trend. That's

24
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: all over TikTok. Are you also obsessed? Yes, so if

25
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: you haven't seen it. Essentially, the butterfly effect trend points

26
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: out how one moment in your life has a domino

27
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 2: effect on so many different things, and that maybe if

28
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: you didn't go into that coffee shop one day, you

29
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: would have never met the love of your life like

30
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: three months later.

31
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: But do you have a butterfly effect moment you mind?

32
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: We've spoken about it a couple times. But starting our

33
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 3: old job, Like if I didn't start that job as

34
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: a shopping journalist, I wouldn't have met you, so like

35
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 3: this we wouldn't even be here, Like this whole podcast

36
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 3: wouldn't be in existence. I wouldn't have met someone that

37
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 3: I previously dated, which was why I ended up moving

38
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 3: to Bondi, which is how I met like majority of

39
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 3: my best friends now, which is also how I met Rob,

40
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 3: my now partner. Yeah, like or like every single thing

41
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: in my life wouldn't exist if it wasn't for like

42
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 3: taking that job, which is like crazy, like I can

43
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: literally track so much shit back to it that like

44
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 3: as much as there was you know, some less than

45
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: ideal times at that job.

46
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: I'm so thankful.

47
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 3: The positives outweigh and the narrative and the kind of

48
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 3: journey that it ended up with.

49
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, what about you. I have one that's like

50
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: pretty random. When I was in high school, like probably

51
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: when I was like a year eight or something, I

52
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: remember A Current Affair did this big expose on emo

53
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: culture and how it was really like damaging for the

54
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: youth and all of the negative impacts that emo music

55
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: was having on the young people of Australia at the times.

56
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: And I wrote this big grant about it on MySpace,

57
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: and I think I like started a petition for people

58
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: to like boycott a Current Affair and like send these

59
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 2: letters into them and was talking about the importance of

60
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: the community and blah blah. And I actually had a

61
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: few people find me on MySpace through that, who I've

62
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: ended up being friends with still like eighteen years later,

63
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: have been to their weddings, They've traveled from Brisbane to

64
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: like come to shows with me, Like we're still great

65
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: friends to this day. Have matching tattoos with some of them.

66
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: Like imagine if I never posted or I never saw

67
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: that A Current Affair spot. But yeah, I think that

68
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: trend's really cute. It is cute. I love it.

69
00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: I saw one of those like, what do you mean

70
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: if we didn't both go to the gym at the

71
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: same time?

72
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: And I was like, that could never be.

73
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: But anyway, my obsession of the week is a study

74
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: that I saw, and it's the habits that.

75
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: Make you a millionaire. I'm listening. Do you have a

76
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: note pad, pen and paper?

77
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: Done?

78
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: Okay?

79
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 3: So a study says that making your bed every day

80
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 3: makes you two hundred and six percent more likely to

81
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: become a millionaire.

82
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: Wow, I'm on my way literally.

83
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 3: Other common millionaire habits include reading for thirty minutes a day,

84
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 3: waking up three hours before work, failed that one, writing

85
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 3: to do lists, controlling emotions.

86
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 2: Bomb bomb well, We're to be broke? Well whereut? And

87
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: being friendly to others.

88
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: So this study came from Randall Bell, who found that

89
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: small daily routine such as making your bed every morning,

90
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 3: increase the likelihood of financial success by two hundred and

91
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 3: six percent. Avoiding negative habits like gossiping at work is

92
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: just as crucial as building good habits. Researchers suggest starting

93
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 3: with one or two habits at a time to create

94
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 3: lasting meaningful changes that can lead to financial prosperity.

95
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 2: How good is that that adds up? Because it's basically

96
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 2: discipline and people skills. Yes, well there you go, chicks.

97
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: Are you going to start waking up three hours before work?

98
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: Can we start a couple of hours later?

99
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: I can't start at my hand?

100
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

101
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: No more? Nine am whip? Okay? Should we get into

102
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 2: our things we think are a cult? All's to do it.

103
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: I think you know what's coming. But things that I

104
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 3: think are a cult la Boo boos and study angels.

105
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: Definitely, and slate blind boxers in general.

106
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 3: Literally, I've done some little Tapa Tapa tapa research and

107
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 3: I've also seen a few people say this and I

108
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 3: have to agree.

109
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: And for a very long time I didn't get it.

110
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 2: I was like, well, one.

111
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 3: Of these weird little babies, Yeah, what are the weird little.

112
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: Freaky little things?

113
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 3: And if you haven't seen La Boo boos, which like

114
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 3: check your WiFi, But they're these freaky little doll trinkets

115
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 3: and they're basically like the new girlipop market toy thing

116
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 3: obsession session sours educating me earlier this week about the

117
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: fake market that also surrounds it, because there's Laboo Boo,

118
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 3: which is the original, and then Laffufoo Lafufoo Yeah, which are.

119
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 2: The fake ones. And these have been booming.

120
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 3: They've been around for a couple of years, but in

121
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four they started taking off and now they

122
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 3: are like the it girl trinket toy. There is over

123
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: one point two million posts under Labuobu on TikTok Wow,

124
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 3: which is like when you think about that just in general,

125
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 3: and that majority of those would be unboxings, you can

126
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 3: start to kind of get an idea of how much revenue.

127
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: This cult is bringing in. Yeah, and that's just the

128
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: people who are posting to all the people who were

129
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 2: just doing it in the privacy of their own homes. Yeah.

130
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: And I will be honest with you.

131
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 3: I did try to get some for us to unbox

132
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: on this episode and it was impossible.

133
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was impossible.

134
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 3: There was like lines of two hundred plus people trying

135
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: to get them, and I was like, oh my.

136
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: God, this is not worth it to me.

137
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 3: But the Labubu the Monster's Big inter Energy series released

138
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: last week and completely sold out worldwide.

139
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: It is now the number one.

140
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: Collectible's release ever on a resale platform. Stock X with

141
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 3: an average resale price of two hundred and.

00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: Eight dollars USD.

143
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 3: What an average which is a twenty four percent premium

144
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: compared to the original price, which is one hundred and

145
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 3: sixty a USD. That's still so expensive, I know.

146
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: Is that for a singular labuo boo. I think it's for.

147
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 3: The box potential box with the six pack or something. Yeah,

148
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: that was from a Vogue Business article. So also according

149
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 3: to Variety, labooboos are being resold online for up to

150
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 3: seven hundred dollars.

151
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 2: Seven hundred dollars.

152
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: And this is where and why I think it is cold,

153
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 3: because that is wild to me. The fact that as well,

154
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 3: we've seen the trend cycle at Plate here like Sonny

155
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 3: angels were like the trinket, they were the trending trinket

156
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 3: and then so many people have them. We had our

157
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 3: dopamine here and they're definitely still trending. They're not done,

158
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 3: you know, But now it's the labooboo, and you know,

159
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 3: in six months or less we'll probably see another one

160
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 3: that investing seven hundred dollars.

161
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: If you love them, if you.

162
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 3: Love lea booboo, and if you think you're going to

163
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: love your labooboo forever, and it's going to be a

164
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 3: little toy, and you want to spend seven hundred dollars,

165
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 3: and you've got that disposable income, go for it.

166
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 2: Love that for you.

167
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: But spending hundreds of dollars on like a trinket that's

168
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 3: just trending for the moment, that's not necessarily the most

169
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 3: financially savvy choice. Absolutely, However, it does kind of come

170
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 3: into this thing that we're seeing.

171
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: At the moment.

172
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 3: And I do believe that it's like a result of

173
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 3: the toxic news cycle and burnout, and it's the rise

174
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 3: of like kidult trends and the healing of your inner child.

175
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 3: So the Australian blind box market, how much do you

176
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: think it's worth?

177
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: Hmmmmm, stab in the dark, I'll say one hundred million dollars. Wow.

178
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: The Australian blind box market is estimated to be one

179
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy million in twenty twenty four.

180
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: That's almost double what I thought in one year. And

181
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: I do think it's.

182
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 3: Also comes into it this like gambling element app so

183
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: loot ly right.

184
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: It's given cold definitely, it's giving devout following and like

185
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: pouring your money into something that you don't necessarily know

186
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 2: what the outcome is, right, and that's where you get

187
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: the dover Maain hair and potentially with the goal of

188
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: getting a high value back of being like I'm going

189
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 2: to pay thirty dollars to get this La Bubu, but

190
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 2: it could be worth seven hundred. Who knows who is

191
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: spending seven hundred? The police report? Why not? Why not? Fully?

192
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: Do you know what I realized their original blind box

193
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: experience was chocolate Yowie's and Kinder Surprise eggs are.

194
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: Literally, yeah, yeah, that's what I want to be the

195
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: next trending trinket.

196
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 2: Going back.

197
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a yowe Easter egg and when I

198
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 3: was opening it, I really.

199
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 2: Was like geting excited and being like, oh my god,

200
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 2: I wonder what I'll get. And then I was like,

201
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: holy shit, this is my Laboo boo, this is my

202
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: life gambling. It's Yowie.

203
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 3: I mean, if we're gonna look at the forms of gambling,

204
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 3: I do believe sunny Angels and La Boo boos to

205
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: be the healthier choice.

206
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: And it is fun.

207
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 3: It's so fun unboxing a sunny Angel and La Boo

208
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 3: boos and like all that stuff that I'm like absolutely

209
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 3: not aiding on it because it does come into this notion.

210
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: And I'm also going to throw jelly cats into this.

211
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, so like sunny angels, jelly cats, la Boo boo

212
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 3: dolls are all a part of this shopping trend that

213
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 3: I think is about healing your inner child. And it's

214
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 3: not just because they're cute, but it's helping adults like

215
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 3: reconnect with a part of themselves that they didn't realize

216
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 3: needed a bit of attention, and it is like the

217
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 3: inner child, the softness as well as why I think

218
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 3: women are so tied into it is because it's like

219
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 3: when you were younger and you actually wouldn't know what.

220
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 2: Gift you were getting.

221
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 3: You wouldn't know what present you were getting for Christmas

222
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 3: or your birthday, whereas now it's a little bit different

223
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 3: and be like.

224
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 2: Well what do you want for your Birthday'll be like, oh,

225
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: I like these earrings.

226
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 3: And you don't really get that element of surprise anymore

227
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 3: as you get older, and opening a blind box just

228
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 3: taps into the long lost feeling of surprise and joy

229
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 3: or like the Cereal box toy, all the kinder surprise,

230
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 3: like exactly what that is? And collecting jelly Cats and

231
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: Sunny Angels is like a bit of a hobby now,

232
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 3: but it's also very soothing and a way to reclaim playfulness,

233
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 3: which I think there's no harm in that. It's just

234
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: it's just a slippery slope. So I also just want

235
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 3: to finish it that as much as I think it's

236
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 3: a cult, if you have been impulse buying like jelly

237
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 3: cats or Sunny Angels or trading mystery toys, you're not

238
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 3: regressing your healing and you're having fun. So I'm like,

239
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 3: pop off, Yeah, just don't buy one for seven hundred

240
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 3: dollars please.

241
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: I hate the thing that I think is a cult

242
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 2: is the Jelina fandom, and I'm talking the Justin Bieber

243
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: and Selena Gomez fandom. Oh my god, they broke up

244
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen, and we're still talking about it as

245
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 2: if they're a couple and they're star cross lovers and

246
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: they're going to end up together. Like just as recently

247
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 2: as maybe a month ago, there was a seven part

248
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 2: documentary released on TikTok tracking Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez's

249
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 2: like timelines over the years and how Hailey Bieber has

250
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 2: allegedly been copying Selena.

251
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 3: Oh I think I saw this and it was like

252
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,479
Speaker 3: Selena Gomez wore a white tank in twenty and fifteen,

253
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 3: and now Hailey Bieber's wearing a white tank in twenty

254
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 3: and seventeen.

255
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 2: Again, guys, I also am wearing a white tank. Oh

256
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 2: my god, she's after Dustin. I'm copying Selena. But yeah,

257
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: and like tracking Hailey Bieber's alleged obsession with Justin Bieber

258
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: and how her relationship with him was a part of

259
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: this like decade long master plan. Keep in mind, like

260
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: I said, they broke up in twenty eighteen, they were

261
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: also on and off for a long time prior to that.

262
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: Since then, Justin and Hailey got married in twenty eighteen,

263
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 2: they've had a baby, and Selena Gomez is engaged to

264
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: Benny Blanco. But we're still getting like documentaries and conspiracy theories,

265
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: and anytime Hayley does anything or Selena does anything, that's

266
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 2: the automatic reaction like how can we tie this together?

267
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 2: And I think that, you know, every good cult needs

268
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: some charismatic cult leaders, and Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez

269
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: definitely tick those boxes. And also like an emotional devotion

270
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: that people are really really invested. It was like people

271
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 2: felt like they were part of that relationship as well,

272
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 2: and they still do.

273
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, when they broke up, people felt like they got

274
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 3: broken up with It's.

275
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 2: Been almost ten years, what is going on.

276
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: It's just really sad that like Justin Bieber still continuously

277
00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 3: has to make statements defending his wife and his child,

278
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 3: and that like Hailey Beaber is a stronger woman than

279
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 3: I am, because like it is relentless and the bullying

280
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 3: and shit talking that she has to cop as well

281
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 3: as like Selena Gomez, like both those women, Yeah cop

282
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 3: way more.

283
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: Like negative attention than is needed.

284
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 3: That Like some people need some more group chats, right,

285
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 3: some people need to have more group chats with their

286
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 3: friends and discuss there and then move on.

287
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: I completely agree. Yeah, because they were dating when they

288
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 2: were teenagers. Do you know what I think?

289
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 3: Though, I don't think they'll like unfortunately, and this is

290
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 3: probably a very pessimistic approach, I don't think they will

291
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 3: ever outgrow this narrative. I think it will be the

292
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: like modern day in Asterix Brad Angelina and Jennifer Aniston. Yeah,

293
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: narrative that like.

294
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: Still to this day, people are like Team ten, Team

295
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 2: age yeah, it's still something that people romanticized twenty years

296
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 2: like yeah, and feel passionate about. I'm just like, I

297
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: wonder if like either Selena or Justin ever came out

298
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: and just said it and weren't talking and what like,

299
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: we're like, it's over, stops saying this. It's like no,

300
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 2: but not in smoke and mirrors, because they'll be like,

301
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 2: they'll talk about it in sort of like roundabout terms.

302
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: But if they were, like Justin and I broke up

303
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen, I've moved on, we don't talk. I

304
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 2: have no feelings for him, and they just said something. No,

305
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: you're right, I've just fact checked yeah, because I'm But

306
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: also part of me, which the conspiracy theorist in me,

307
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 2: is like, do they not say anything so that people

308
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 2: keep so people keep talking? I actually wouldn't just spur

309
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 2: more hate.

310
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 3: I just I can't imagine what it would be like

311
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 3: continuously associated to an X I dated ten years ago.

312
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 3: I need everyone to think about who they dated ten

313
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 3: years ago and think about whether or not you still

314
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 3: want to be associated to that person. Second, bet you

315
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: you don't want to, and you post a TikTok about

316
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 3: your eyebrows and then that all of a sudden, you're

317
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 3: just taken off the tails you want, just to be exactly.

318
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 2: It's a s no.

319
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 3: The comparison of the I think we've spoken about it

320
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 3: a few times on the pod, but it's just it's wild.

321
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 3: And I really can't think of any other younger celebrity

322
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: couple that has gone through the same kind of scrutiny

323
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 3: and spotlight as those two.

324
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 2: Not in the same with the same fierceness. I would

325
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 2: say that one another example that comes to mind for me,

326
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: and they never even dated, is Paul Mescal and Daisy

327
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 2: Edgar Jones, but.

328
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 3: That doesn't the same hatred, same level. But in terms

329
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 3: of that is just a shipping. That's like I still

330
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 3: think there's a cult like following for that, like following

331
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,239
Speaker 3: for poor Mescal and guess what, we're fucking in a bit,

332
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 3: who's the leader, We're the president.

333
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 2: Okay. My next thing that I think is a cult.

334
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 3: I feel very passionately about this is car giveaways on TikTok.

335
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: Yes, it's giving cult.

336
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 3: It's giving scam and mansion giveaways to what the fuck?

337
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 3: I genuinely hand on heart and begging someone who has

338
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 3: won a car giveaway or cash giveaway or mansion giveaway

339
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 3: on TikTok, raise your hand, let yourself be known to

340
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 3: the court, because you don't like they're Genuinely, I've never

341
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 3: seen anyone post about winning them. And that's not to

342
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 3: say they don't because legally, I'm like, surely someone's got

343
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 3: to win it, but I just find the narrative around

344
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 3: them and like they're just slimy to me. It's so

345
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 3: slimmy because it's this lottery of being like, someone's.

346
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 2: Got to win it today, could it be you?

347
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 3: And I'm like, so, if you haven't seen these, let

348
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 3: me give a little bit of context. But basically, they're

349
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 3: these social media giveaways that are considered a lottery giveaway

350
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 3: because you have to invest your money in order to

351
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 3: go into the running. So this would either look like

352
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 3: literally buying a ticket, which.

353
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: One time I nearly did. It was like a Suzuki

354
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 2: Jimney and it was like ten years ago, and I

355
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 2: was like, what am I doing? There's a low point,

356
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 2: there's a low point in.

357
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 3: The life, and or you have to spend a certain

358
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 3: amount of money with that brand.

359
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, there's two ways to look at it.

360
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 3: If you already shop with that brand, and you're already

361
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 3: going to buy something and that puts you in the

362
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 3: running pop off. You're already getting something in exchange for

363
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 3: the money that you're putting in. I don't think that's

364
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 3: a scam. So, like, for example, I think White Fox

365
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 3: do them all the time, which you know, Whitefog is

366
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 3: a people have critiques, yes, and some incredibly valid, right,

367
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,479
Speaker 3: They're just a brand that I know does a lot

368
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 3: of like car giveaways, right, and so if you spend

369
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 3: fifty dollars, you get your dress, but you also go

370
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 3: on the running and like you got a dress for

371
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 3: fifty dollars. So I'm like, that's not giving scam. But

372
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 3: the like cargiveaways that it's like, do you want twenty

373
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,959
Speaker 3: five thousand dollars casual this twenty sixty four range row

374
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 3: for a car And I'm like what and.

375
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 2: They're like we it's got to go within twenty four

376
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 2: hours quick.

377
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 3: And then you go to the site and it's like

378
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 3: the the ticket's like forty dollars, yeah, And all that

379
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 3: does is put you in the running, yeah, and you

380
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 3: don't get anything else, And I'm like that's crazy.

381
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just what's kind of sad.

382
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 3: It's really sad, and I think it's also preying on

383
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 3: vulnerable people online who don't understand like what the regulations

384
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 3: are and that the chances are incredibly limited. Like we

385
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 3: obviously have a bit more education around gambling in terms

386
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 3: of pokerm machines and casinos that like, people go into

387
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 3: that most of the.

388
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 2: Time knowing that, like it's a chance game.

389
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 3: Whereas with these giveaways, it doesn't necessarily feel like that's

390
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 3: the attitude towards them.

391
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, this person is so lovely, this person

392
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 2: is so nice.

393
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 3: They're giving away a car, what a beautiful of course,

394
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 3: let me buy it, No bitch. They're making millions off

395
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 3: people literally just giving them money.

396
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 2: Well, it's not a charity like cult yeah, it's not

397
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 2: a charity. It's cap yeah. And there's always like one

398
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: person front facing again the cult leader that I think

399
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 2: is like this charismatic personality being like do you want

400
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 2: to win? Blah blah, and like you said, putting the

401
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 2: time pressure on. It's like emotional manipulation. It's culty, yeah,

402
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 2: and please just never do it. I just want to know, Like,

403
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 2: like you said, somebody shout off in the comments on

404
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 2: Spotify and let us know if you or anybody has

405
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 2: ever won one of these, because I reckon, we're not

406
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 2: going to get a single car, terrifying me.

407
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 3: And every time I see one come up, I like

408
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 3: block it, or Mark is not interested, or I watch

409
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 3: it and I click the link so I use their

410
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 3: marketing spend. I'm like, it's like probably like one cent

411
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 3: in their entire marketing badget.

412
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 2: But I'm like, eh, I mean stick it to the man. Okay.

413
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 2: My next cult is kind of related to that one

414
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: in a way, and it's wellness MLMs. Oh you know

415
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: when you get an Instagram DM request from somebody that

416
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 2: you went to high school with that you haven't spoken

417
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 2: to in twelve years, and it's like high lovely, not that.

418
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 2: And it's always like some sort of wellness training course,

419
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 2: maybe a nutrition course or like something to make passive

420
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 2: income from home. Do you know what it is?

421
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 3: Do you know what the biggest cult in the wellness

422
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 3: space is fucking greens powder.

423
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 2: Fucking Greens powder. Every time a video.

424
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 3: Comes up on my TikTok and it's like this literally

425
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 3: gave me the glow up of the century, this one

426
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 3: product that literally changed my life. They're going off for

427
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,959
Speaker 3: five minutes and then bang the toumbs of the table

428
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 3: and it's a fucking greens powder. And that's not to

429
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 3: say that all greens Powder is a bad or a cult,

430
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 3: but I swear there's this one model.

431
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: And they're all affiliates.

432
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 3: It's all a pyramid scheme, and it's like you go

433
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 3: on and it's like they will not tell you where

434
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 3: it's from. You have to click the link in the

435
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,719
Speaker 3: bio because that's how they track their affiliate revenue, like

436
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 3: they will in the comments. If someone's never telling you

437
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 3: the name of something and they're never telling you the brand,

438
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 3: and all they respond to a product recommendation is the

439
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 3: link is in my bio. The link is in my bio. Yep,

440
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 3: it's just in my bio. That's an affiliate link. There

441
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 3: is no chance it's not because they want you're going

442
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 3: straight Google and typing it in because they can't track that.

443
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 2: Greens powders man, Yeah, definitely, And again I think it's

444
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 2: like it's pretty sad, like especially the ones where you

445
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 2: have to purchase the product and then you're selling it,

446
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: or you have to purchase the training program and then

447
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 2: you're selling it. So people like kicking Kathy King when

448
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 2: she purchases all the lingerie. Yes, like the old school

449
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 2: ones are like tup aware avon lingerie parties like sex

450
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 2: toy parties back in the day as well. That one

451
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 2: sounds fun, Yeah.

452
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 3: I mean maybe you're getting you're getting something out of that. Yeah,

453
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 3: that's different bank pep back.

454
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 2: But the modern day one is yeah, like the wellness powders,

455
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 2: the training courses on how to learn how to invest

456
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: from home or start your own gods, the business ones,

457
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 2: And I'm like, their business is you paying them? Yeah,

458
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 2: and that's how it started a business. Their business is

459
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 2: tricking you. Yeah. And it's obviously so frustrating when you

460
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 2: see these videos and you're like, leave me alone. But

461
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 2: also part of me feels so sad because the people

462
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 2: who are involved in this shit a lot of the

463
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 2: time have been manipulated. Yes, which again is where the

464
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 2: cult like, because you're if you're putting a lot of

465
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: money down to get into this scheme and thinking, great,

466
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 2: this is going to be an amazing opportunity for make

467
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 2: a passive income, which I think for a lot of people,

468
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 2: especially young women who are mothers and are trying to

469
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 2: figure out how to work out like a work life

470
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 2: balance and work from home. You're putting a lot of

471
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 2: money down and then you're having to like market this

472
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 2: thing to try and get your affiliate or pay back,

473
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 2: you know, get revenue on the money that you've put down.

474
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 3: Like anytime I see call outs online being like we're

475
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 3: looking for people who want to work from home and

476
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 3: have their own business and just social media, like if

477
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 3: you want to create content away from home a little

478
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 3: and I'm like, but what.

479
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 2: Is it exactly? But what is it? Yeah, tell me

480
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 2: what it is. If it seems too good to be true,

481
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 2: it very likely is it? Probably is? Yeah?

482
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 3: Agreed?

483
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: Agreed.

484
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 3: I really want to say that doesn't mean all greens

485
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 3: Powders are a cult, no, but there.

486
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 2: Is a certain one that I'm like cult. Yeah, it's

487
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 2: fucking weird. Okay.

488
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 3: My next cult, which I am a very proud member of,

489
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 3: might I add is the Kmart cult.

490
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 2: Yes, bitch with a CAUs.

491
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 3: Literally I love this cult, slay, I love every member

492
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 3: of it. But there is a certain level the Kmart

493
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 3: cult is like also the girl is at nine pm

494
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 3: in their pajamas that are like, let's got a kmar Yes,

495
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 3: go off, But I was reading an article and this

496
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 3: is also why Kmart is a cult. And it's that

497
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 3: eighty eight percent of Australian households purchase from Kmart annually.

498
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 3: According to Yahoo Finance, eighty eight percent of Australian households have.

499
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 2: Bought something from Kmart in the year. Yeah, that's it,

500
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 2: check out. I'm like, what are the other twelve percent doing? It?

501
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 2: Must not be a cam I in their suburb or something.

502
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 3: But came Art's resurgence is very likely attributed to the

503
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 3: private label brand Ancho, which now accounts for approximately eighty

504
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 3: five percent of the retailer's range.

505
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: That makes sense, yep, with the rise of their popularity

506
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 2: as well, because like all of our favorite products I

507
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 2: feel like from Kmart are the Ancho products.

508
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you can really see it in the virality

509
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 3: of for example, their fashion at the moment, like the

510
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 3: pajamas from Kmart a going viral. I would say, literally

511
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 3: every single month. I think Camart really listens to what

512
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 3: users need, yeah, and try to create that even in

513
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 3: terms of like tech tools you know. Yeah, I was

514
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 3: going to say, with the km Art tech I find

515
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 3: that it solves problems I didn't actually know I had

516
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 3: I could actually say that with every single products from

517
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 3: came up, being like.

518
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 2: I need this. Yeah, no I did, and like a

519
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 2: lot of the time, it genuinely my life for the better.

520
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 2: And this is obviously not an ad I was once.

521
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, but that's why we're in the cult.

522
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: I think as well, the cult we have to address that.

523
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 3: Like cult nature is that you go into km up

524
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 3: for one thing and you walk out with seven and

525
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 3: you're like fuck, the store.

526
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 2: Is designed with that exact thing in mind, seriously.

527
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 3: And I also do think that Kmut's rise to cult

528
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 3: has also been a result of the severe cost of

529
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 3: living crisis and the fact that people cannot afford to

530
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 3: be shopping elsewhere, and that they've moved into a space

531
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 3: of being able to bring pieces that people want to

532
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 3: wear and want to buy. Because I'll be so real,

533
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 3: when we were going, Okama did not have cool clothes.

534
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: No, no, like Cama did not have cool clothes even

535
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 2: when I was a little girl, Like, oh my god,

536
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 2: that's so nice.

537
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like they've lifted their game to be able to

538
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 3: give Australians affordable items, which I think is amazing.

539
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 2: And I think that is definitely how they have he

540
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 2: hath Risen baby like and also the accessibility for people,

541
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 2: like you really can throw a stone and hit three kmarts,

542
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 2: like they're pretty much everywhere, which if you want to

543
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: go in and try on clothes, and because they do

544
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 2: offer like great size inclusivity, like that's something that's going

545
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 2: to get a lot of people in the store as well.

546
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 2: And then yeah, I'm going to pick up some socks

547
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 2: and some new pj's on the way. And the kmart

548
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 2: run is a rite of passage.

549
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 3: It's an Australian right of passage and I actually think

550
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 3: it should be on the citizenship test. Citizen, you should

551
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 3: have to do a kmart run, a super quick one

552
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 3: to kind of also keep on the brain trends of

553
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 3: what I think is a cult? Do you want to

554
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 3: take one?

555
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:52,479
Speaker 2: Guess what Mecca? Oh definitely is a cult. Yes, Slay

556
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 2: go off for that. If you're a Mecca girl, you

557
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 2: are a ride or die. There are like two people

558
00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 2: that shop at Mecca.

559
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 3: There are people that are like, yeah, I like this product,

560
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 3: they go in and they get it, and then there

561
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 3: are the people that are like, bleed pink.

562
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 2: I love Mecca.

563
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 3: Mecca is the best, and like, if you give one

564
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 3: piece of constructive criticism to the Mecca model.

565
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: They are they are like for Narnia.

566
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 3: On a horse riding through the TikTok comments we ride

567
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 3: at being like we ride at dawn for Mecca and

568
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 3: go off. But I think this is a cult because

569
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 3: that's what like if people are like absolutely don't want

570
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 3: to hear a single critique. And I saw this TikTok

571
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 3: from a creator, which I was like, this absolutely communicates

572
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 3: its the cult. Now this also isn't shade from us

573
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: to Mecca.

574
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 2: We both shop there.

575
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 3: We also both think their structure of like redeemable product

576
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 3: services is absolutely amazing. Do I think there's been some

577
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 3: valid critique in the last twelve months.

578
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

579
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 3: I think their like business model of spend versus return

580
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 3: with no sales has absolutely been a valid topic of conversation.

581
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that when you compare it to Sephora, it is

582
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 2: a bit lacking.

583
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 3: But there was a TikTok posted by Harriet Ring. It

584
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:13,280
