42
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: You mentioned when we were walking in that you're going

43
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: op shopping after this.

44
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am. That's what I'm doing after this. Very

45
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: excited about it. I love an op shop. Although I

46
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: will say, sorry, what is going on in the op

47
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: shops these days? The price is through the roof, Like

48
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding you. I went to an op shop

49
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: not long ago. I saw one of those one dollar

50
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 2: Kmart candles for four dollars in the op shop yeah, absolutely,

51
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: pulling my leg and pistol on it.

52
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: What is going on?

53
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: Is it?

54
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: Because op shops have clued on to the fact that

55
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: people are just going into op shops buying vintage pieces

56
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: or whatever and then selling them on deep hop for

57
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: an extremely inflated price.

58
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: But that's their prerogative though, Like, it's not any of

59
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: their business what I do with my clothes after I've

60
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 2: purchased it from your store. If someone was buying from

61
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 2: fate and marking it up, realistically, how big of a

62
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: problem is that for you?

63
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: Why would anyone do that?

64
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 2: Exactly? So I'm like, what is the problem with If

65
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: someone wants to go in and buy a top for

66
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 2: five dollars and sell it for fifty, that's their life,

67
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: Like why does that affect the op shops? And I'm

68
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: mad That's.

69
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: Why op shops are doing it because I can't think

70
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: of any reason otherwise Because they get given this stuff

71
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: for free, right right, Like they get it for free.

72
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: The workers are volunteer. Who are they paying apart from

73
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: the people that they're do they take the profits?

74
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: Like is it non for profits?

75
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: Well? I don't know who knows, sweetheart? What?

76
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: Like I've seen videos popping up on TikTok two of

77
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: girls like going through the racks and whatever and like

78
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: holding up like a Paul Frank t shirt from Wild

79
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 1: Surf Co. Like ten years ago or fifteen years ago

80
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: and twenty five dollars.

81
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, why yeap, he is so old? Yeah ekitch No,

82
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 2: not even that. I went op shopping with Toby once

83
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 2: and he found this really nice shirt, really gorgeous shirt.

84
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: We were like, wow, this is so nice, like that's amazing,

85
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: and it was eighteen dollars and we were like, we

86
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: don't know if it's worth eighteen dollars, but it is

87
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: really nice. We weren't an op shop, like, we don't

88
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: really want to pay eighteen dollars shop.

89
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm expecting everything to be ten dollars or less.

90
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: Oh my god, seriously five dollars.

91
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm selling shit for like seventy bucks.

92
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: Now I'm seeing books for twelve. I'm like, I have

93
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: to get out a book, big w for six? What

94
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: do you mean? So anyway, the shirt was stunning, it

95
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: was lovely. He's tried it on, it fit him well.

96
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, it's eighteen dollars. A done, A fuck,

97
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: it's worth eighteen dollars from op shop. It's been worn before,

98
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: blah blah blah.

99
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: This shit is second hand.

100
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: The first thing I goes, what's the brand? He checks

101
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: the tag. It's Shane Shane. We locked it up four

102
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: dollars fifty brand new one shrillan sorry, eighteen dollars. You're

103
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 2: taking the piss, not real, do you know what I mean?

104
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: So I'm just a little bit. I'm going today because

105
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 2: I feel like I don't go to op shops for

106
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: like much. I go for hidden gems, like, oh, I

107
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: found a really nice vase for like six dollars not

108
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: long ago.

109
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: Even that's expensive for a vas from a op shop.

110
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: Oh, but you should see this VARs. It looks like

111
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: a fucking Lady Gaga costume. It is absolutely delicious.

112
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: Fair.

113
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know that's why I go. And you know,

114
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: Toby that same day he found like a pair of

115
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: brand new Doc Martins for like forty bucks, which is

116
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: a steal. So there are some hidden gems, but I still.

117
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: Feel like forty dollars in an op shop, like that's

118
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: a lot.

119
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, but also for a brand new.

120
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: Paradog compared to the original prices. But it's still a lot. Yeah,

121
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: I know, I'm expecting the shoes to be like seven dollars.

122
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. So the prices are a little out

123
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: of control because I think I've also got it twisted

124
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: on what op shops are, because like I think when

125
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: I was growing up, maybe just the demographic has changed,

126
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: but I thought when it was when I was growing up,

127
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 2: it was for people who like couldn't really afford to

128
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: go buy actual clothes, so they would go to the

129
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: second hand store. Yes, well, if you've got no money,

130
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: you can't even afford to shop at the op shop.

131
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, that makes no sense, you know.

132
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 2: So I'm like what is going on? And the fact

133
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 2: the Kmart candle really got me because I was like,

134
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: it's a dollar in camar and four dollars at the

135
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: op shop. Not real? And then I think to myself,

136
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: do I go up to the lady and say just

137
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: letting you know that this one dollar candle is one

138
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 2: dollar at Kmart?

139
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: Well, who's making the I want to know, like, who's

140
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: making the decisions on the prices in the store. Is

141
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: it the people, is it the volunteers working, is the

142
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,239
Speaker 1: owner of the store or is there a person higher

143
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: up like just say if it's Salvos or whatever, and

144
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: it's like an chain, Like who is deciding how much

145
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: all this stuff is being priced at?

146
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: Well, that's okay, this might be the whole episode because

147
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: let's talk about it, because I've got I've got so

148
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 2: much to say about this because with Salvos, you know,

149
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 2: they get donated, so it's not like they I don't

150
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: know how it would work, but like maybe they have

151
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 2: like a hierarchy of clothes and prices that they have

152
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: to adhere to. But it's no, they don't because it's

153
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: so out of whack. I will go through the rack

154
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 2: and one business shirt will be six dollars and the

155
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 2: same business shirt from the same brand will be twelve dollars.

156
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: So it's like things are not I get if it's

157
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: like a better brand or whatever, maybe you're putting the

158
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 2: price up a little bit.

159
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 1: But why are optops making it about the brands? Like

160
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: isn't it just a like it shouldn't we be like

161
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: removing all the brands and stuff and it's just like

162
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: affordable clothes and accessories? Yeah, right, Like why is it

163
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: all about like what brand it is?

164
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I like, surely they have KPIs

165
00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: and stuff. But then I'm like, they're volunteers. I also

166
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 2: think this is another thing I want to talk about.

167
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: I'm matching volunteering in this economy and I mean, obviously, no,

168
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: hang on, no, everyone's looking at me like that. I

169
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: hang on, let me clarify. Everyone's looking at me like

170
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: I'm fucked. But what I mean is fair enough volunteering

171
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: for things like let's say, like you're feeding the homeless

172
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: and blah blah blah.

173
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: Like we're just working in a shop where people are

174
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: paying a lot of money for right hand shit. Yet

175
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: makes no sense.

176
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: I go, if I'm going to volunteer, I'm going to

177
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: do something that I guess would make me feel, meaning

178
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: like like I'm doing something and I'm making a change,

179
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: not saying that people who work in an OP shop

180
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: aren't I going to change whatever, Blow it out your ass,

181
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: But like, what I'm saying is waking up every day

182
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: to go volunteer in an OP shop, not the volunteer

183
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: and I would do. And unless, of course I could

184
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: have first pick at some of the items that came

185
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: through it, and that's what they do too, But then

186
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: that defeats a purpose of volunteer.

187
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: Could I reckonize? I think someone's even said that to

188
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: me before when I've met them, that they volunteer at

189
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: an op shop and they do it because they get

190
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: really good discs and then when the clothes come in,

191
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: they get first picked.

192
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: A lot, which I'm all for, but also, come on,

193
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe I'm just unhinged, but like my

194
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 2: thinking is, these days op shops make no sense to me.

195
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't the whole thing, the workers giving the prices,

196
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: what's it giving capitalism?

197
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: Yeah? Probably, but I don't know. I just wish everything

198
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: was still two dollars. Yeah, because the majority of people

199
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: who are going in there are not deep hop influencers, right.

200
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: Or are they these days? Is that's what it's turned into.

201
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: I don't reckon everyone is surely yeah.

202
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: They need to do something. Someone needs to do something,

203
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: but I don't understand who it is.

204
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 2: But even though you've said deepop influencers, well that doesn't

205
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 2: excuse them putting up an Ancho singlet for twenty five dollars,

206
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like if I get it,

207
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: if it's like vintage Jimmy Chew tracksuit set and they

208
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: want to sell it for forty five dollars. I'm like, okay,

209
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: I can understand that. There are some things where I'm like, okay,

210
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: the price is justified because like the Doc Martins, great example,

211
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: I was like, that price is justified. Forty bucks is

212
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 2: a steal for almost brand new Doc Martins without a

213
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: scratch on them. But like forty do kmart top, what's

214
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: going on? Their love and deep hop influencers aren't buying

215
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 2: that and reselling it? Surely not. They could cut the

216
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: tag off but put a spray paint on it and

217
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: call it designer, but who knows who cares? But I'm like,

218
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: I don't know. Op shops grow up, That's what I

219
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: want to say.

220
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: Are you going to do a video while you're in

221
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: there today?

222
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: Nah? Probably not because one none of them play any

223
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: bloody music, so it's dead as a doornail in there.

224
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 2: It's so quiet.

225
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: Is that good for videos?

226
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

227
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: On that background music, it's quat.

228
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 2: But everyone's listening to you. Because I had to do

229
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: a sponsor video for Vinnie's Once, which I love. Vinnie's

230
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 2: shout out to Vinie's Great. Actually my favorite op shop

231
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 2: of all of them. If I had to choose and

232
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 2: Vinnie's also sorts their books in rainbow color, which I love.

233
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 2: But of Pride in Store lovely, But it's so dead

234
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: silent in there that me trying to make that video

235
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: was I had the attention everyone did YouTube video I

236
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 2: got stuck in the vest. You know, people still mention that.

237
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 2: People still mentioned that to me all the time my channel.

238
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: I'll have to go back and see, because I made

239
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: like most of my videos private, I will have to

240
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: go back and see. We went up shopping in Newcastle

241
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: to put together like a bad outfit, and Matt put

242
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: on like a fisherman's.

243
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: Looking vest, Like yeah, the vest zipper got stuck and

244
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: I couldn't get out of it, and Brittany just run away.

245
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 2: People still say that is like one of the funniest

246
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: things I've ever seen from me, and I'm like, babes,

247
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: the blood was rushing to my head. I was stressed.

248
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: I was like, this ain't coming off, and I'm not

249
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: buying this fisherman's vest.

250
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: But to be fair, it's probably two dollars.

251
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 2: Back then, I've had my rant. What's your rant?

252
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: Line's not really a rant, but it's something we can talk.

253
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: I heard that Cosmopolitan magazine is coming back.

254
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, stunning.

255
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: After all the magazines dropped off the face of the earth.

256
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: What was Cosmopolitan? What did they do?

257
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: Celebrity gossip? Okay, like all that kind of shit. They're

258
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: coming back after they've been gone. Like I think all

259
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: of them are gone, right, like Girlfriend Dolly, like they

260
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: all went Mari Claire, like, they're all gone.

261
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, who, when was the last time you

262
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: bought a magazine?

263
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: Well, I yeah, very true. Well actually I buy them

264
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: at their airport sometimes. Really yeah, just little celebrity gossip

265
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: ones just gives you something to do. But I think

266
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: with Cosmo coming back, they're just doing six editions a year,

267
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: so every second month or whatever. I reckon this is

268
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: going to be the comeback of magazines, and I reckon

269
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: it's going to become a cool thing to buy a

270
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: Cosmo magazine, and it's going to be like a thing

271
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: that influencers promote that they do really and like it's wild.

272
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: But I reckon they're going to come back strong, and

273
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: I reckon it's going to be a new thing and

274
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: it's going to be the girl thing to do. But

275
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: the crazy thing is magazines are just one huge advertisement

276
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: and that's all It is like every second page that

277
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: you open is just ads. But I'm kind of here

278
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: for it. I reckon, I'm going to buy it. Who

279
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: do you hope He's going to be on the cover

280
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: of the first one?

281
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 2: Me?

282
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: Who do you hope? Are you?

283
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: Ky Are you going to have a Cosmo? Are you

284
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 2: going to buy a Cosmo magazine? Yeah?

285
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna buy it when it comes out.

286
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 2: Who do I hope would be on it? I don't know?

287
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: But who do you reckon will be on it? OHI

288
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 2: hawkans Lara Bingles someone. It's an Australian.

289
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: Magazine, right, Yeah, but they might like I think they

290
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: should even like go global, like put fucking Taylor Swift

291
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: on the front.

292
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: They don't have the budget for that and she wouldn't

293
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: do it anyway.

294
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be an Aussie icon surely, Kylie Minogue.

295
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think she'd be on the cover of

296
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: the first Cosmo. They probably put tones and I Appy

297
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: chat Field.

298
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: You're going to be an influencer?

299
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 2: Nah? Who do you reckon? Maybe a Jess Now boy.

300
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: I reckon it might be I reckon they might go

301
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: the angle of like a TikToker or an influencer like

302
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: Sofa Dofa or something. You reckon like they're coming back,

303
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: like they've got to do something different.

304
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: There's no way.

305
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: I reckon they're going to try and hit a different

306
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: audience like magazines will always for Like i'd say, even

307
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: like the generation above us, like people that are now

308
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: in their forties or whatever would probably buy magazines back

309
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: in the day. So I reckon they're going to try

310
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: and hit the younger demographics.

311
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: I cannot see Sofa Dofah on the cover. I can

312
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: see them doing a piece on her potentially and on

313
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: page sixty.

314
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: Well, I'm interested to see, Like I'm interested to see

315
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: what they're going to do and like how they're going

316
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: to make a comeback and how it's going to be

317
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: different because magazines went under obviously, so they're gonna have

318
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: to do something different and hit a different demographic.

319
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, the only people buy magazines are probably hairdressers,

320
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: isn't it. Where else do you see a magazine?

321
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: You don't I see them at the airport or at.

322
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: A doctor surgery.

323
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, And also I don't think hairdressers have magazines anymore

324
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: because we have our phones to just scroll through.

325
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 2: Oh no, mine still does, but I don't use them.

326
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

327
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I've been going there for a few

328
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 2: years now. I think I've picked up a magazine once.

329
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: I think they should. If I was at Cosmo and

330
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: I was working there, I would try to hit the

331
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: younger demographics in the maybe not like the young ones

332
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: on TikTok, but I would try and make the magazines

333
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: like an aesthetically pleasing thing, like a nice magazine. Yeah,

334
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: and I'd make it more like that, not so like

335
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: graphic key on the front with all these weird fonts

336
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: and shit. I'd try and make it like sleek and

337
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: elevate it and make it something that people like the

338
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: look of so that they will buy it every two

339
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: months and put it on their coffee table and open

340
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: a random page and it's like beautiful imagery. That's what

341
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: I'll do. I'm just really keen to see what they do.

342
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: Would you put an ad in a Cosmo magazine?

343
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: No?

344
00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 2: No, really no? Would you do a billboard on a

345
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 2: bus stop?

346
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: We bus stop we have before when we opened our

347
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: Westfield cham Side store, because like the billboard companies own

348
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: like like there's huge companies that own like most of

349
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: them kind of thing. So we did do one, but like,

350
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: I don't think we got a single thing, Like you

351
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: can't track Yeah, you can't track it, but we just

352
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: did it to be like fate Westfield chirm Side is

353
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: opening soon kind of thing. We're just like, yeah, whatever

354
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: the fuck, because they reach out to us and they're like,

355
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: if you ever wanted to do billboards, but it was

356
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: nothing special, So no, I wouldn't do that again unless

357
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: I was going to do something like not controversial, but

358
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: something that was going to stand out.

359
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: Would you be willing to tell us how much a

360
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: billboard costs? Oh?

361
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: It was actually surprisingly cheap. Do you remember how much

362
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: it was aj? No, it was way less than that.

363
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: It was like two or three Yeah, it was.

364
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 2: Only two or three grand to get one billboard.

365
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was on like and it was for

366
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: a month or two a months or something, but it

367
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: was on like a rotating one, so you were on

368
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: there with a lot of others. But I remember being

369
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: surprised at how cheap it was. But I think they

370
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: were kind of no, I don't want to say they

371
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: were desperate, but like they reached out to us, we'll

372
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: give you this really good deal. So I think they

373
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: just like were going through a thing of wanting to

374
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: get more people on there. But it wasn't anywhere near

375
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: as expensive as I thought it would be. But it

376
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: was like an electric electronic one that had like eight

377
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: others that were rotating all day kind of thing. I'm

378
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: sure it would be a lot more money if you

379
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: were to get like your own one that's just permanently

380
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: their kind of thing.

381
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 2: Sorry, I know we got to get Aj on the

382
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 2: podcast in a second, but I do want to talk

383
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: about the billboard thing for a sec. They had a

384
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: really cool billboard on Oxford Street recently that was of

385
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 2: a new car of some sort, but the car headlights

386
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: actually lit up so at nighttime, like it looked like

387
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: a real car up on top of the building, but

388
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 2: it was like just lights in the headlights, And I

389
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: thought that was really cool.

390
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: Like, you've got to do something that stands out right.

391
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 2: So what would you do for fate?

392
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: I'm just probably like take a stab at brands that

393
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: only go to like a size twelve or fourteen.

394
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 2: I would make it controversial. Yes, yeah, fair.

395
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: I remember when we open our Westfield Miranda store in Sydney,

396
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: we got given a VM box. You know how you

397
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: go on around Westfields and there's like the mannequins in

398
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: the box with like a sign and whatever. Like they

399
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: offered us a free one for like a certain amount

400
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: of time, and they were like, what do you want

401
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: to do with it? Like you can style it however

402
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: you want, and but we had to do it really quickly,

403
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: so I wasn't gonna go out and buy all sorts

404
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: of fucking decorations and this and that and the other.

405
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: So we just had two mannequins. And then I had

406
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: like a hanging sign, like a vertical hanging sign, and

407
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: because this was like us opening our first ever Westfield store,

408
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: and like they didn't say what I could couldn't ride

409
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: on the sign or whatever, So I just wrote on

410
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: the sign something along the lines of non inclusive sizing

411
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: is out sizes six to twenty six and everything is

412
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: in And it was just like that, in like plain

413
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: bold riding. And I was like, oh, well, like the

414
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: worst that they can say is no, you can't put

415
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: this sign in here because most stores in Westfield only

416
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: go to a certain size. And they approved it and

417
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: it sat there in that box for like a month. Nice,

418
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: So I did that. So I think if I was

419
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: to do a billboard would be something bold like that, Yeah, right,

420
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: because you've got to stand out.

421
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 2: What about outdoor espresso. I'd get a billboard next to

422
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,479
Speaker 2: a fountain and then have the coffee cup pouring and

423
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: the fountain looks like it's coming from the coffee cup.

424
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: And then like pay Sabrina Carpenter to be there.

425
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yep, I'm mrgan Lee because I'm a finger.

426
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: I actually did see one other thing at fashion Week.

427
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: I know we spoke about that in the main.

428
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 2: Oh.

429
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, a coffee company was like some sort of sponsor

430
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: there or something, and they had like this shopping bag

431
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: that was brown and in there like branding, and it's

432
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: just said, like in massive writing, it was really clever,

433
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: there's no X in espresso because you have so many

434
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: people say espresso hate. I thought that was like really

435
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: clever of them.

436
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 2: I think it's clever too.

437
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: I think Aj would have something to say about like

438
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: the marketing that we could do for Outdoo, because like

439
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 1: he's really involved with that as well. But wasn't there

440
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: like one other thing that you wanted to say.

441
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I feel like we're going to

442
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 2: run out of time if AJ doesn't come on the

443
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: podcast right now, AJ, come on over, come on on
