1
00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:07,281
Speaker 1: Approche production.

2
00:00:11,041 --> 00:00:14,121
Speaker 2: This is another bonus episode and we will always have

3
00:00:14,281 --> 00:00:16,921
Speaker 2: thanks for listening. It's basically just to tide you over

4
00:00:16,961 --> 00:00:20,561
Speaker 2: before the main course, which is longer ramblings.

5
00:00:21,201 --> 00:00:24,241
Speaker 3: And sometimes we pepper it in with some screaming.

6
00:00:23,801 --> 00:00:27,121
Speaker 2: And shouting because I've got us into some sort of

7
00:00:27,761 --> 00:00:29,881
Speaker 2: I don't know activity that our bodies can't have. Look

8
00:00:29,881 --> 00:00:32,281
Speaker 2: what I'm trying to say is we're old and we

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,961
Speaker 2: love to ramble, so please enjoy.

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,961
Speaker 1: Are really am keen to hear about what your thoughts

11
00:00:41,001 --> 00:00:45,481
Speaker 1: are on blind Boxes? You know, with the little character inside.

12
00:00:45,561 --> 00:00:48,081
Speaker 1: Some people think it's a form of gambling.

13
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,321
Speaker 3: It is one hundred percent gambling. It's gambling for children

14
00:00:51,641 --> 00:00:52,801
Speaker 3: and adults to be there.

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,681
Speaker 1: Why do you say that it's.

16
00:00:54,521 --> 00:01:00,361
Speaker 3: A genius strategy for sales, because there's something about it

17
00:01:00,401 --> 00:01:04,481
Speaker 3: that's so addictive, Like even the labou bit, like I've

18
00:01:04,481 --> 00:01:07,121
Speaker 3: got caught and I got so excited that Bummings was

19
00:01:07,121 --> 00:01:10,121
Speaker 3: a good one. Remember when they did. I had to

20
00:01:10,161 --> 00:01:13,401
Speaker 3: have all of them and I was buying, Like if

21
00:01:13,401 --> 00:01:15,721
Speaker 3: Bummings were selling them just off the shelf and I

22
00:01:15,801 --> 00:01:19,361
Speaker 3: want them, that's boring, right, there's no risk to it.

23
00:01:19,441 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 3: The risk makes it fun. But what it means is

24
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,641
Speaker 3: is instead of me by the collection of six, I'm

25
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:26,681
Speaker 3: buying about.

26
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,041
Speaker 1: Eighteen of them to get that set six.

27
00:01:29,401 --> 00:01:34,721
Speaker 3: So it's incredibly wasteful and I think it's highly a dictem.

28
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: What's your thoughts, Well, I see them as a bit

29
00:01:39,241 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: like you won't remember these, but back in the day

30
00:01:41,681 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: they had the Footy cards and you used to buy

31
00:01:44,601 --> 00:01:46,401
Speaker 1: the pack and you used to go through them and

32
00:01:46,441 --> 00:01:48,401
Speaker 1: you try and build your set. I just think it's

33
00:01:48,441 --> 00:01:52,361
Speaker 1: a step up from that. Some people, though, are so

34
00:01:53,041 --> 00:02:00,241
Speaker 1: invested with the different sets, like they're always bringing stuff out.

35
00:02:01,241 --> 00:02:03,801
Speaker 3: Well, I noticed, Disney, you're doing it. There's a whole

36
00:02:03,921 --> 00:02:09,001
Speaker 3: different subgenre, the blind boxes like you collect pms Disney.

37
00:02:09,561 --> 00:02:11,561
Speaker 3: I know, there's all the plush toys, you know, Bunnings

38
00:02:11,601 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 3: are bringing out that. Businesses are realizing that they can

39
00:02:14,561 --> 00:02:22,281
Speaker 3: capitalize off this. Oh absolutely with their you know, collectibles,

40
00:02:22,321 --> 00:02:23,681
Speaker 3: and that's so addictive.

41
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,321
Speaker 1: I have a friend who her and a daughter open

42
00:02:27,481 --> 00:02:30,921
Speaker 1: up them on TikTok and instair and.

43
00:02:30,881 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 3: Stuff like the videos just do astronomically.

44
00:02:33,881 --> 00:02:41,081
Speaker 1: Well, oh absolutely, And you should see the Wall of Beautiful.

00:02:41,921 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: It's like she would have thousands of dollars worth. Well,

Speaker 1: they absolute thousands of dollars worth.

48
00:02:51,001 --> 00:02:52,041
Speaker 3: Are you trying to bring it out?

Speaker 1: I'm hooked.

64
00:03:28,361 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 3: Now, Oh my god. But it's also like I think

65
00:03:31,281 --> 00:03:35,281
Speaker 3: the addiction for the two of us comes in our socials.

66
00:03:35,321 --> 00:03:39,201
Speaker 3: Pack off right, So people really engage in that comment.

67
00:03:39,321 --> 00:03:41,761
Speaker 3: I love it, And so it's like watching other people

68
00:03:41,841 --> 00:03:44,681
Speaker 3: open them is also I find really fun.

69
00:03:45,241 --> 00:03:48,761
Speaker 1: There's a YouTube channel years ago that I heard about

70
00:03:48,801 --> 00:03:52,921
Speaker 1: that just purely opens children's toys like gifts. Have you

71
00:03:53,001 --> 00:03:56,641

00:03:57,081 --> 00:04:02,241
Speaker 1: The numbers are incredible. People just frock for it. They're

73
00:04:02,281 --> 00:04:03,681

Speaker 3: My the blind boxer eighty four dollars for one really?

75
00:04:08,401 --> 00:04:09,081
Speaker 1: What was that one?

76
00:04:09,201 --> 00:04:11,481
Speaker 3: Hired the Laboubu craze. It was quite a big one.

77
00:04:11,961 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: I remember thinking I got swept up in a lot

78
00:04:14,721 --> 00:04:18,601
Speaker 3: of them. The audi one is a virtually blind boxes.

79
00:04:18,681 --> 00:04:21,161
Speaker 3: But they were two dollars fifty for a pack at five.

80
00:04:21,521 --> 00:04:23,561
Speaker 1: You know, I don't even think they were in Sydney

81
00:04:23,641 --> 00:04:24,561
Speaker 1: or New South Wales.

82
00:04:25,001 --> 00:04:26,001
Speaker 3: That's where I found them?

83
00:04:26,161 --> 00:04:28,561
Speaker 1: Oh was that because I actually tried to look for

84
00:04:28,641 --> 00:04:32,001
Speaker 1: some for you when you couldn't find at the end

85
00:04:32,041 --> 00:04:32,801
Speaker 1: of the campaign.

86
00:04:33,121 --> 00:04:35,681
Speaker 3: Oh so they were on special when I got it

87
00:04:36,241 --> 00:04:38,441
Speaker 3: they were two fifty and then yeah.

88
00:04:39,161 --> 00:04:42,561
Speaker 1: But people have no hesitation in spending money on them.

89
00:04:43,001 --> 00:04:46,201
Speaker 3: God no, I mean I chopped of bunny speers. I

90
00:04:46,201 --> 00:04:48,681
Speaker 3: think are they twelve dollars or six dollars? They were

91
00:04:48,681 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: twelve bars?

92
00:04:50,161 --> 00:04:53,921
Speaker 1: And how many times did you go before you got twenty?

93
00:04:54,161 --> 00:04:55,801
Speaker 3: Yeah? I still didn't get the secret one.

94
00:04:56,681 --> 00:04:59,841
Speaker 1: Isn't that incredible? But people aren't spray to spend money

95
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:00,241
Speaker 1: on them.

96
00:05:01,361 --> 00:05:06,001
Speaker 3: No, I worry about like for a kid like adult

97
00:05:06,041 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: you've got adult money, you're making a choice. I don't

98
00:05:08,961 --> 00:05:12,561
Speaker 3: quite think it's the full extent of gambling because you

99
00:05:12,601 --> 00:05:14,681
Speaker 3: aren't getting something, You aren't buying a toy.

100
00:05:14,761 --> 00:05:15,761
Speaker 1: Yeah, you buying a toy.

101
00:05:15,841 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: There is that sort of risk element for kids though,

102
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: like they don't have money, so it's just like they'd

103
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,281
Speaker 3: be losing this shit at their parents. So it's addictive.

104
00:05:25,401 --> 00:05:27,841
Speaker 3: Nature feels a bit predatory.

105
00:05:28,361 --> 00:05:31,241
Speaker 1: Oh, I think it's just another little version of the

106
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: footy cards or tasos. Remember oh remember Tasoh my god,

107
00:05:35,521 --> 00:05:37,761
Speaker 1: so addicted. They were very very addictive.

108
00:05:37,841 --> 00:05:41,121
Speaker 3: Came to packet of chips. I used to buy so many, So.

109
00:05:41,161 --> 00:05:42,601
Speaker 1: There's no real difference.

110
00:05:43,761 --> 00:05:46,081
Speaker 3: It really is the same thing. It's a blind Taso

111
00:05:46,161 --> 00:05:49,321
Speaker 3: box with them chips in the bag opening at Latle

112
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,321
Speaker 3: Boobo when there was chips in it so good.

113
00:05:52,361 --> 00:05:54,881
Speaker 1: So are you one to gamble in life? Like would

114
00:05:54,921 --> 00:05:57,841
Speaker 1: you go to the races or no poker machines or

115
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,561
Speaker 1: any of that. No, not at all.

116
00:06:00,641 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: But I never got enjoyment out of it.

117
00:06:02,801 --> 00:06:07,561
Speaker 1: Oh see, I don't mind a little go on the pokies. Yeah,

118
00:06:07,801 --> 00:06:10,361
Speaker 1: just twenty dollars. That's my maximum. I'm not going to

119
00:06:10,361 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: spend anything more than that.

120
00:06:11,561 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't interest me. No,
