Speaker 1: This podcast is being recorded and produced on gadical Land.
Speaker 2: We pay our respects to the traditional custodians of this
Speaker 2: country and elders past present.
Speaker 1: We extend our respect to any First Nations Aboriginal and
Speaker 1: Torres Strait Islander people joining us.
Speaker 2: Today, always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.
Speaker 1: I'm Britney Saunders and I'm alright ho and you have
Speaker 1: made your way onto our close friends list.
Speaker 2: Because you don't put the juiciest guff upon your main story.
Speaker 2: You keep it for your close friends.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what these episodes are for my lady, your grace.
Speaker 1: They back that, Mama, No, I don't say that. Okay, anyway,
Speaker 1: let's get into this. There's already some.
Speaker 2: I've got some hypothetical questions for you.
Speaker 1: Okay, I love these. Have you got an activity for me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got two activities.
Speaker 1: I always try to bring activities for you.
Speaker 2: I've done my research this week. Can you go to
Speaker 2: the next line for me please so I can see
Speaker 2: these hypothetical questions. First of all, I read a book
Speaker 2: last week or this week actually that are you know?
Speaker 2: How you have like the fight or flight mode? They
Speaker 2: talk about fight or flight mode if you're confronted with
Speaker 2: a situation, you either fight or your flight. And then
Speaker 2: a few years ago, I think they added freeze as well,
Speaker 2: like fight flight or freeze. They that really fast fight
Speaker 2: flight freeze, fight flight or freeze, fight for a freeze,
Speaker 2: five for freeze. Anyway, So I read this book and
Speaker 2: they were talking about this fourth one that I'd never
Speaker 2: heard of before, and I think it fits me perfectly.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to give you a situation and I'm
Speaker 2: going to tell you how would you react. So let's
Speaker 2: say you've been kidnapped. You've been kidnapped by someone and
Speaker 2: you are being held hostage in a way in like
Speaker 2: a baseman. You're like tied to a chair and he's
Speaker 2: like got a knife in his hand. Let's just say
Speaker 2: suger warning. Anyway, what are you doing in that situation?
Speaker 2: Because there's four responses you could have. You could obviously
Speaker 2: fight back, kick him, break your break your you know
Speaker 2: what are your your cable ties, break the cable tires,
Speaker 2: punch him in the face, get him in the balls,
Speaker 2: and try and escape. Flight, which I think.
Speaker 1: Is just run.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Freeze, which is just obviously do nothing or Thawn.
Speaker 2: So Thawn, is this one that I read about in
Speaker 2: this book, and thawn is where you pretend you're like
Speaker 2: in love.
Speaker 1: That would be me for sure, me too, it's mine. Well,
Speaker 1: there's so many things to consider here, like maybe you
Speaker 1: consider fighting if it was just like the one guy,
Speaker 1: and if you could suss out if you could fucking
Speaker 1: break his neck. Yeah, if he's like a bit weak,
Speaker 1: but it's like some big guy, then obviously I'm not
Speaker 1: going to consider that at all. But I think I
Speaker 1: would go fawn right and just try to make him fall.
Speaker 2: In love with me. So I'm like, I know I'm
Speaker 2: tied up right now, but seeing as I am, we
Speaker 2: may as well, right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like I'm I'm like, if I was literally the tired,
Speaker 1: I can we can say that now. But I think, like,
Speaker 1: if you're in this situation, I don't think you would
Speaker 1: have the mental capacity to actually follow through with that.
Speaker 2: Surely you'd be fucking absolutely. But I think out of
Speaker 2: the four things, I think I'm fawning first, then I'm fighting,
Speaker 2: Then I'm flighting, you know what I mean. But I
Speaker 2: and obviously at first I would freeze. I think i'd
Speaker 2: a dual four. Obviously I freeze first, I'm like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, what I'm going to do here? Then I
Speaker 2: fawn and I try and flirt a little bit. I'm like,
Speaker 2: what do you want? What do you want from me?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you kidnapped me out of everybody. Oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, I feel so special. I would definitely be
Speaker 2: a fauner, like I would be like, what's it got
Speaker 2: to take for me to get out of here? Or
Speaker 2: like not even just get out of here, like be
Speaker 2: like we can start a life together. Yes, you start
Speaker 2: to laugh together, I'm all about it.
Speaker 1: Let's get out of here. Let's just run away.
Speaker 2: And then I would fight when I have the chance,
Speaker 2: and then and then I would piss, boltfly, Oka, You've
Speaker 2: got to.
Speaker 1: Sort it everyone. That's what to do if someone ever
Speaker 1: kidnaps you.
Speaker 2: Okay, that was my first hypothetical. I do have a
Speaker 2: second one because I saw a TikTok the other day
Speaker 2: about this and it brought up a great discussion with
Speaker 2: me and my friend. And the hypothetical question for you
Speaker 2: is there's a coin. You've got a coin. You can
Speaker 2: either flip the coin for a chance at one billion dollars,
Speaker 2: or you cannot flip the coin and just get a
Speaker 2: guaranteed one million dollars, and my friend and I we
Speaker 2: both had very different answers, and then we discussed it,
Speaker 2: and then we both came to other answers as well.
Speaker 2: I thought we could do this. So you've got a coin.
Speaker 2: I've got a coin right here, Brittany. You can flip
Speaker 2: this coin for a chance at one billion. If you
Speaker 2: get heads, you get the billion. If you get tails,
Speaker 2: you get absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1: I'm flipping the fucking coin for a billion. I will
Speaker 1: take the fucking gamble. Come on, that's a one in
Speaker 1: two chance. It's like your chances are so high.
Speaker 2: Fifty to fifty to be fift billion there, and I
Speaker 2: think as well. So at first my friend was like,
Speaker 2: I'm taking a million, and I was like, I'm taking
Speaker 2: the flip a coin right because my thing is if
Speaker 2: I flip the coin and I don't get the billion,
Speaker 2: I'm still in the same position I am today. But
Speaker 2: if I flip the coin and I end up with
Speaker 2: a billion dollars.
Speaker 1: Like a fifty farty years, it's really high.
Speaker 2: Also, the billion dollars is worth the risk to me
Speaker 2: because a million. I know this sounds sickening, but like
Speaker 2: it's not that much money. Like, I know, it's a
Speaker 2: lot of money, but in this economy, where's that going?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: The two bedroom apartment in western Sydney.
Speaker 2: Not well, yeah, exactly, not even They're probably one point one,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? So like, in this world,
Speaker 2: how long is that million? And I know we'd all
Speaker 2: love a million dollars, don't get me wrong, absolutely, but
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about this strategically. I'm thinking a million dollars
Speaker 2: really isn't going to get me far. I mean, obviously
Speaker 2: I could live off it for a very long time,
Speaker 2: but if I actually want to buy things, imagine a billion.
Speaker 2: And I think people forget how much more a billion.
Speaker 1: A million and a billion is fucking you can't even
Speaker 1: fathom it.
Speaker 2: N I saw this really great analogy the other day
Speaker 2: to comprehend how much bigger a billion dollars is compared
Speaker 2: to a million. So a million seconds, a million seconds
Speaker 2: in time is eleven days.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: So in eleven days we would have counted a million seconds.
Speaker 2: A billion seconds is thirty one years and seven months.
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Eleven days? Do you know what
Speaker 2: I mean? A billion dollars.
Speaker 1: Is basically half your fucking life.
Speaker 2: Right, so I think as well, I'm such a what
Speaker 2: if person and if I was to take the million,
Speaker 2: the rest of my life would be thinking what if
Speaker 2: I got the billion?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd live with a regret.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think i'd flip the coin as well.
Speaker 1: Me too.
Speaker 2: Well that's not as interesting because see, my friend said,
Speaker 2: take the million straight away.
Speaker 1: I'm a fucking cash grebber. I'm going for the billion.
Speaker 1: What do you think My answer was going to be, well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we actually discussed it because he was like, you
Speaker 2: should talk about this on the pod and I was like,
Speaker 2: Britney's gone for the billion. Sure, Producer, Ellie, what do
Speaker 2: you reckon? Are you taking the million or the billion?
Speaker 2: I'm going for the billion because I'm with you, Matt, like, yeah.
Speaker 1: A million's good, but I've still got to show up
Speaker 1: to work the next day. It's not really I can't
Speaker 1: really quit in your job and like gooh who.
Speaker 2: And you're still doing mortgage repayments and like it's not
Speaker 2: life changing, but the billion is. Do you know what's
Speaker 2: crazy to me? Though? He's like, that's how crazy this
Speaker 2: economy is for us to be sitting here going a
Speaker 2: million dollars, Like, I know, how crazy that sounds because
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people listening to this are
Speaker 2: going to go a million dollars would change my life,
Speaker 2: and it puld and it would, I'm going but how
Speaker 2: much because ten to fifteen years ago. Sometimes I have
Speaker 2: to fathom how the amount of money has like changed
Speaker 2: over the course of our lives. Because ten to fifteen
Speaker 2: years ago, a million dollar home was like the dream.
Speaker 2: You could buy a million dollar mansion, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. Now mansion start at fifteen million, Like it's
Speaker 2: just like, so, yeah, million dollars to me. I mean,
Speaker 2: obviously I'd hate to miss out of that if I
Speaker 2: landed on tails.
Speaker 1: But yeah, then what if you learn on nothing, then
Speaker 1: you're just full of regrets. Yeah, Like if you landed
Speaker 1: on nothing and you didn't get the billion, would you
Speaker 1: then go, fuck, I just should have taken a million
Speaker 1: and stop being so selfish.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But also there's no harm off my.
Speaker 1: You know, your life is still the same.
Speaker 2: Yeah, still in the same position. At least I haven't.
Speaker 1: Lost a million, yeah, like Ariana Grande.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so anyway, Also, I'm such a manifesto, so you
Speaker 2: know manifesting. Yeah, I gotta buy a ticket first, but yeah,
Speaker 2: sure for sure, winning the lotto lardie. Hell, wouldn't that
Speaker 2: be nice?
Speaker 1: Do you hear about the guy in South Australia that
Speaker 1: just won one hundred and fifty million? Oh and he's
Speaker 1: the biggest lotto winner in all of aust in the history.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I just won it one hundred and fifty million.
Speaker 2: I think the two hundred million that went off a
Speaker 2: couple of months ago two people won, that's actually only
Speaker 2: one hundred Wow.
Speaker 1: Imagine that he went in and purchased the I don't
Speaker 1: know if it was powerball or a lot of whatever.
Speaker 2: They well was same.
Speaker 1: He just purchased it on a whim when he was
Speaker 1: filling off his car at one of those ones where
Speaker 1: you can buy the fucking lotto tickets at like filed
Speaker 1: up his feel and just bought a random ticket, like
Speaker 1: not even someone that's like religiously playing, And he won
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million. So that would fucking change
Speaker 1: your life.
Speaker 2: Which one of my family members is like a lotto player,
Speaker 2: and like every week will put the first a powerball
Speaker 2: on and it costs twelve dollars fifty or whatever it
Speaker 2: might be, and every week, for as long as I've
Speaker 2: known her, she has done that.
Speaker 1: I wonder how much she would have saved if she'd
Speaker 1: put away twelve dollars fifty a week for those many years.
Speaker 2: Right, And I'm like, how much have you won? And
Speaker 2: she's like, oh, won twenty dollars here and I won
Speaker 2: I won one thirty six dollars a few years.
Speaker 1: Goes the thrill of it, though real of the.
Speaker 2: With the lotto, I don't know it because with Bingo,
Speaker 2: for example, you know Bingo's I guess gambling because you
Speaker 2: paid to go into it and then you win money
Speaker 2: if you're win bing Bingo's fun because it's like fast
Speaker 2: and exciting forty four thirty six, twenty two and like
Speaker 2: you're pressing the dott in the But like I can
Speaker 2: see that people like. The thrill of that is like
Speaker 2: what attracts people to the gambling, right. But like with lotto,
Speaker 2: I cannot imagine sitting there with your lotto ticket and
Speaker 2: then number because it's also so flat as well, Like
Speaker 2: for example, if you've got if the first number that
Speaker 2: comes out is fourteen and you don't have fourteen, you go, no,
Speaker 2: well I've lost, Like do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: There's no mment yeah, to get like the one hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty. He would have had to get every single number.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, slay to that guy.
Speaker 2: Wow. Hey, we're talking in the main episode about rebranding.
Speaker 2: As we're talking about how I randomly became alright, hey,
Speaker 2: Australia's biggest Clamazon. I was going to say that with
Speaker 2: Australia's Biggest Glamason. It's like you were asking, do you regret,
Speaker 2: you know, branding as australia Big Glamazon or regret?
Speaker 1: I said, will you always have it?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, so true. Sorry, I think it's like because
Speaker 2: sometimes I do regret being like branding as Australia's Biggs Glamazon,
Speaker 2: mainly because of the makeup. Oh my god, putting on
Speaker 2: makeup is just the bane of my existence at the moment.
Speaker 1: Fucking Monday, when I wake up and I know that
Speaker 1: I have to put makeup on because I'm coming here
Speaker 1: and we're filming this shit, I know.
Speaker 2: But what are you going on? Like a little bit
Speaker 2: of foundation makeup job, but still I'm doing the whole
Speaker 2: I'm sticking diamondies on my face style, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. I got the brows, the drag queen lashes,
Speaker 2: the lips, the glitter that it's a lot.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm so glad that natural makeup has
Speaker 1: become a trend.
Speaker 2: I know, but natural makeup doesn't work for a Glamazon.
Speaker 1: Look at Australia's natural gl Amazon's natural Amazon.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean it was working great for a while,
Speaker 2: Like I was all about it and Australia's biggest Colabazon
Speaker 2: was making me a lot of money because you know,
Speaker 2: but now these days I'm like, I con't the thought
Speaker 2: of going to it. Sorry is this ungrateful? But when
Speaker 2: I get invarted to like a premiere or something, the
Speaker 2: thought of getting dressed up in her dress, heels and
Speaker 2: makeup and lashes.
Speaker 1: And doing do you like a dress? And not like
Speaker 1: still where your outfitting and then just do a real natural,
Speaker 1: soft glamp because I think, what's the point.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like drinking alcohol. It's like, well, I'm
Speaker 2: not going out for one or two, I might as
Speaker 2: well have ten. Gosh, you know, like like what I'm
Speaker 2: not getting drunk, I'm as well not drink. That's how
Speaker 2: I feel about makeup. If I'm not going full glam,
Speaker 2: I might as well not put anything on at all.
Speaker 2: It's just a waste of product you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I thought maybe you could rebrand to the
Speaker 1: Natural Girls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you were asking will there be a rebrand?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like there's gonna have to be at some point.
Speaker 1: If I'm thinking logically, yeah, you're gonna have to rebrand
Speaker 1: out of alright hate like, hey is so boring? That's
Speaker 1: gonna be Matt Hay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what I reran to, but it
Speaker 2: will be something. But anyway, you were talking about all
Speaker 2: these stores that you've seen rebrand. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I saw a guy on TikTok. I didn't save his
Speaker 1: video or no his name, sorry, but credit to him.
Speaker 1: He's been what if anyone's seen it, fucking let him know.
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a shout out.
Speaker 2: In the pot. Yeah, that'll help him out.
Speaker 1: He's been just doing some little videos of brands in
Speaker 1: Australia that have recently done rebrands. I thought I could
Speaker 1: show you their new logos.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, please.
Speaker 1: So the first brand that has done a rebrand is
Speaker 1: Michael Hill Jewelers.
Speaker 2: I have seen this one.
Speaker 1: Oh so you've already seen I don't know.
Speaker 2: If I've seen the logo, but I've seen the stores.
Speaker 2: The stores now look almost like Pandora or like a
Speaker 2: designer store. So before you go into Michael Michael Hill,
Speaker 2: it was like not dark, but.
Speaker 1: The stores with like the purple like spiky circle that
Speaker 1: was their logo. Like, I've got the logo here but
Speaker 1: we all know it. It was just like Michael with
Speaker 1: a light purple and dark purple sun looking thing above it.
Speaker 1: When you think Michael Hill, you think you're a sixty
Speaker 1: five year old mum or auntie going to buy a
Speaker 1: chunky locket bracelet.
Speaker 2: Which why did every mum have that? I don't know.
Speaker 2: Every mum when we were growing up had that gold
Speaker 2: bangle with the little love heart on with like.
Speaker 1: An amethyst in the middle.
Speaker 2: It's like a chunky gold chain with.
Speaker 1: The safety chain on it as well.
Speaker 2: Something you want to lose it necklaces.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, yeah, yeah. Well now Michael Hill has done
Speaker 1: a rebrand. They're now Michael Hill Find Jewelers and everyone.
Speaker 1: I want you to look up the logo because I
Speaker 1: can't obviously show it on the pod. They've now got
Speaker 1: branding colors of like this soft soft pastorally lime, limey,
Speaker 1: lemon green, and a very simple logo Michael Hill Find
Speaker 1: Jewelers a very skinny font and now it is giving designer.
Speaker 1: I want to go shop there. Yeah, And that just
Speaker 1: shows you the power, Like I would never walk into
Speaker 1: a Michael Hill previously, but now that I want to
Speaker 1: walk in there, Yeah, isn't that amazing?
Speaker 2: Like I'm looking at the logo. It's giving a designer
Speaker 2: store like it's on par with some of the big brands. Wow, Okay,
Speaker 2: I approve of that rebrand. And obviously the stores themselves
Speaker 2: actually look incredible too, like they've really it's very modern
Speaker 2: and I have seen the upgrade to the stores themselves,
Speaker 2: So I'm all about that. What else have you got
Speaker 2: for me?
Speaker 1: Well, the next one it was a little while ago,
Speaker 1: like I think it might have been last year. It
Speaker 1: could have been fucking years ago with how fast the
Speaker 1: time goes. But the next one is the Cheesecake Shop.
Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't even know they rebranded.
Speaker 1: And it is so slay. Okay, so we all know
Speaker 1: the Cheesecake Shop for its iconic dark green and red
Speaker 1: with a bit of white, Like we all know what
Speaker 1: the cheesecake shops look like. You go in there, it's
Speaker 1: giving outdated, it's giving gross mind you cheesecakes from the
Speaker 1: cheesecake shop are really fucking good.
Speaker 2: Can I tell you my post office, my local post office,
Speaker 2: there is a cheesecake shop next door, and for starters,
Speaker 2: it is so it smells so delicious every time I
Speaker 2: walk past, And there have been times where I have
Speaker 2: bought cheesecakes from because you can get a quarter of
Speaker 2: a cheesecake. They cut them into quarters, and I think
Speaker 2: they're pretty reasonable for like a quarter. I can't remember
Speaker 2: how much they are. I think they might be eight fifty.
Speaker 2: But they do deals as well towards the end of
Speaker 2: the day because I'll go to get my post my
Speaker 2: male from the post office and let's say like four
Speaker 2: point thirty, and you know they're closing soon, so they
Speaker 2: do deals on all the cheesecakes. I have often come
Speaker 2: home with like three cheesecakes for fifteen dollars or something.
Speaker 1: Love the cheesecakes and the cheese.
Speaker 2: They're just deliciously.
Speaker 1: Hates cheesecake, and I'm like, I hate people that hate cheesecake.
Speaker 2: I'm in the bin.
Speaker 1: If you like cake, you like cheesecake, Like I think,
Speaker 1: because it's called cheesecake, people get confused and think it's
Speaker 1: like cheesey or whatever. It's not anyway, back to the rebrand.
Speaker 2: We should go to the cheesecake Shop, by.
Speaker 1: The way, absolutely should because it was the old logo.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, which is still fun. I liked their old logo, yeah,
Speaker 2: like original when I was younger. Sorry, we'll get to
Speaker 2: the logo in a second. But the Cheesecake Shop was
Speaker 2: like the penultimate treat for our family. My mother was like, oh,
Speaker 2: something's happening. It wasn't a birthday surprise all that. Like,
Speaker 2: it wasn't like everyone got cakes. It was just like,
Speaker 2: there's something happening, like a christening. Oh we better get
Speaker 2: a cake from the Cheesecake Shop or like you know,
Speaker 2: it had to be a milestone, not a birthday.
Speaker 1: Or Christmas, even more specialist.
Speaker 2: It was like a real special special occasion. And suddenly
Speaker 2: it was like, we better get a cheese cake from.
Speaker 1: The cheesecake Ours was that and the Vanetta ice cream?
Speaker 2: Yeah, remember thinking Vanetta was the most expensive.
Speaker 1: Figure was like every slice was worth fifty bus.
Speaker 2: Special for four not special at all.
Speaker 1: But they are fucking delicious. Okay. Anyway back to the
Speaker 1: Cheesecake Shop. They've rebranded. They are and again I want
Speaker 1: you to all look this up because I can only
Speaker 1: explain it to a certain stamp. They've kept green, but
Speaker 1: now they've got a mint green mixed with a dark
Speaker 1: green and white, and it's giving very vintage ice cream shop.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go, I'm about to see.
Speaker 1: Oh I love it. Okay, fun and wait, what's even
Speaker 1: more impressive than their actual logo is the rebrand of
Speaker 1: their stores.
Speaker 2: Ah wow, it actually looks amazing. What I will say though,
Speaker 2: is I feel that the cheesecake Shop, unlike Michael Hill,
Speaker 2: the cheesecake Shop, is so iconic that I can almost
Speaker 2: see this hindering their.
Speaker 1: There because it looks very like modern and clean and
Speaker 1: it's still kind of giving like old school ice cream
Speaker 1: dairy shop.
Speaker 2: Folks. Yeah, it's very like American du donut shop. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But my thing is like, see, the cheesecake shop is
Speaker 2: so iconic that I think that like, if you see
Speaker 2: a cheesecake shop, say on the side of the road,
Speaker 2: you know it's a cheesecake shop. Whereas the mask and
Speaker 2: it's like a small business that has opened a cheesecake shop.
Speaker 2: So in a way, I'm like, is it beneficial or
Speaker 2: is it going to be hindering?
Speaker 1: We'll soon see as the year's unfold. But I think
Speaker 1: maybe that's the reason why they've done this rebrand, is
Speaker 1: because maybe they were slowly going down and then they've
Speaker 1: done a rebrand to kind of hike it back up.
Speaker 2: Also, that rebrand has not hit my cheesecake shop just yet,
Speaker 2: because they still I was only in there the other
Speaker 2: day getting a blueberry cheesecake and a caramel cheese and
Speaker 2: a marble cheesecake.
Speaker 1: Surry.
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, there was just one day. I didn't even
Speaker 2: have any mail. Actually, I just thought for myself, you
Speaker 2: know what, I think I deserve a cheesecake. And I
Speaker 2: was with Toby and Skylar and we all just went
Speaker 2: who wants cheesecap We all went and got one. And
Speaker 2: because they do cake as well, which is really good,
Speaker 2: like actual cake cake. Wel yeah, real moist vanilla mudcake
Speaker 2: we got as well. Oh just delicious. But the thing
Speaker 2: is you get a corder, so it's really not that much,
Speaker 2: and then you split the quarter into thirds and then
Speaker 2: everyone gets to slice the flave each flavor. It's great.
Speaker 2: Highly recommend we get a sponsorship. They've just done a rebrand,
Speaker 2: so they might not have any money, but give us
Speaker 2: a sponsorship cheesecake Shop.
Speaker 1: All right. The next brand that has done a rebrand
Speaker 1: is Strand Bags. This what do we think when we
Speaker 1: think of Strand Bags? We think my nan is going
Speaker 1: there to get a purse, that is what I think.
Speaker 1: Or you're going there to just get cheap yea cheap
Speaker 1: suitcase and you're thinking just clutter, mess, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2: Probly they're really good to work for though. Strand Bags,
Speaker 2: Oh shut out. I think I've heard some going reviews
Speaker 2: from Strand Bags.
Speaker 1: There you go. Well, they were most known for their
Speaker 1: red and white logos. Originally quite simple, like they just
Speaker 1: had Strand Bags, and then I don't know at what point,
Speaker 1: but they introduced Strand Bags in an arch, which is
Speaker 1: pretty boring. And they have now rebranded and they've kept
Speaker 1: it really simple, and now they are known as just
Speaker 1: Strand in all capitals, just in black with a white background.
Speaker 2: So it's a bit more polished. It's a bit more
Speaker 2: still basic though, I will say that's just a basic font.
Speaker 2: It is. But I'm thinking that if they've dropped the.
Speaker 1: Bags, yeah, it's a bit more.
Speaker 2: Are we branching out potent? Who knows?
Speaker 1: Who knows? But that's their rebrand.
Speaker 2: Strand very interesting.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I like strand as a word
Speaker 1: because it reminds me of a strand of hair.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, like in clogged and the drain in the
Speaker 2: shower strand.
Speaker 1: But that's their rebrand. I don't know if they've rebranded
Speaker 1: like their actual stores or whatever, but they've definitely got
Speaker 1: the new logo happening. And then so the last one
Speaker 1: we've got is Typo.
Speaker 2: I didn't know Typo rebranded either.
Speaker 1: Yes, So Typo, as you all know, was known for
Speaker 1: its type writer font on all the stores. You just
Speaker 1: know it when you see it. It's that typewriter font
Speaker 1: that's a bit inky and messy. They also now have
Speaker 1: gone down the route of being more simple, and I
Speaker 1: don't know how I feel about it because I think
Speaker 1: it's lost its type oldness.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, interesting, it's just plain text again.
Speaker 1: Yeah hm, because as outdated and chugy as this typewriter
Speaker 1: font was, like it kind of goes like Typo, like
Speaker 1: typewriter like it really suited their stores and goes with
Speaker 1: like the bricks and like the whole theme that they've
Speaker 1: got going and going in there. But again, they've gone
Speaker 1: for that clean, sleek. Maybe they wanting to become more
Speaker 1: elevated potentially.
Speaker 2: You know, I think TYPEO is a bit underrated too.
Speaker 2: I mean, at the end of the day, I feel like,
Speaker 2: perhaps it is just junk, but it's cool junk, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Like I feel like.
Speaker 1: Would forgives, Like if you don't know what to get someone,
Speaker 1: if you've got to buy something for like your father
Speaker 1: in Laurel or whatever, like you go to fucking Typeo.
Speaker 2: I feel like, in a typo, like I don't need
Speaker 2: any of this, but I kind of want it all. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: and I will say the one, my local one. I
Speaker 2: don't know if this is all typos, but my local one.
Speaker 2: We might just have a demographic that seems to feed
Speaker 2: into this. But they have a whole wall, and I
Speaker 2: mean like a big, big wall. I'm talking hundreds. So
Speaker 2: you walk in, there's the stationery, there's the fun things,
Speaker 2: and then you get to a certain part in the
Speaker 2: store about halfway down the store, and the rest of
Speaker 2: the store is just noodle bowls. What just noodle bowls
Speaker 2: like big sorry ram and bowls, like big bowls that
Speaker 2: look like a pop plan. I thought, oh, look at
Speaker 2: all the pop plants they've got, and then they're actually
Speaker 2: noodle bowls with like a little thing with chopsticks in it,
Speaker 2: and they've got all like Rick and Marty and the
Speaker 2: Simpsons and I don't know, all these different patterns on
Speaker 2: them and characters and stuff. But I was looking at
Speaker 2: and thinking, surely there's not this big of a market
Speaker 2: for ram and bowls like cause ram and really it's really.
Speaker 1: Popping off lately. There's all those new stores that are
Speaker 1: popping up as well, where you go in and like
Speaker 1: fully make your own ramen. Have you seen And there's
Speaker 1: like no massive fridges and you go in and individually
Speaker 1: pick all of your ingredients. They're all in individual packets
Speaker 1: and then you sit down in the restaurant and you
Speaker 1: make it and eat it.
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever actually had ramen neither. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we should go and havelf it them to a taste
Speaker 2: test video. Please put it on the high scrollers TikTok
Speaker 2: that we don't run.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I love from from Typo as well.
Speaker 1: I love their birthday cards. Okay, they do really good
Speaker 1: birth I know birthday cards are fucking wasteful, but really
Speaker 1: like funny iconic birthday cards.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think birthday cards are wasteful because I
Speaker 2: get my birthday cards from Costco. They've got this big
Speaker 2: pack with like thirty cards in them, and the cards
Speaker 2: are so beautiful and three D as well, I guess
Speaker 2: I know they're just a waste at the end of
Speaker 2: the day. But like, for example, my friend who works
Speaker 2: at a cafe and is like obsessed with coffee and
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. This box that I got had in
Speaker 2: it a card that was like a three D scene
Speaker 2: of like a barista at a cafe, and I don't know,
Speaker 2: it was all fun and I gave it to him
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I got this card, like I chose
Speaker 2: this one for you because like, surely you're putting that
Speaker 2: on display in your bedroom. It's the most stunning birthday
Speaker 2: card over there. And he's like, I absolutely will be.
Speaker 2: I don't know for years. I was at his house
Speaker 2: the other day. I didn't see it, but anyway, there
Speaker 2: was another one that was.
Speaker 1: Sorry, he was just pretending to be nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was another one that was like the Disneyland Castle,
Speaker 2: and like that's perfect for my sister because she loves
Speaker 2: Disney stuff. So like I think if you get the
Speaker 2: right cards, like those one dollar cards you see in
Speaker 2: the hot dollar store, like everyone's from when I was out,
Speaker 2: But like, if you get a nice birthday card, maybe
Speaker 2: that's a niche business. You could start quality, high quality,
Speaker 2: high end birthday cards. Imagine selling a birthday card.
Speaker 1: I think I've seen ones. There's already good businesses out
Speaker 1: there that you can then put in your plants in
Speaker 1: the dirt and it will grow a little tree. So
Speaker 1: someone's already doing.
Speaker 2: Everything can be a tree these days. You know, plant
Speaker 2: may see what happens. You're gonna When are you going
Speaker 2: to rebrand? Fate at all? If?
Speaker 1: I don't know if we would do a rebrand, But
Speaker 1: I think the reason why I don't feel like we
Speaker 1: would ever need to is because our branding is so
Speaker 1: simple to begin with. Like the only thing we'd be
Speaker 1: changing is the fucking font. Yeah, and we already did
Speaker 1: that once. We had one font that was all capitals.
Speaker 1: Now it's all lowercase.
Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, you too.
Speaker 1: But I don't feel like we need to do a
Speaker 1: rebrand unless we wanted to become a completely different style
Speaker 1: of brand, like if, because we're so like basics and whatever,
Speaker 1: basic logo, basic styles, or your capsure wardrobe pieces. The
Speaker 1: only time I think we would need to do a
Speaker 1: rebrand is if we fully wanted to change our style
Speaker 1: of our brand, Like if we wanted to all of
Speaker 1: a sudden do printed caftans and stuff, then maybe we'd
Speaker 1: do a rebrand. But for now, I think we're in
Speaker 1: a really safe own basics and basic bitch logo.
Speaker 2: Keep it simple. Stupid god. We talked for a long
Speaker 2: time on this close Friend's episode.
Speaker 1: I thought, this is a little bit longer of an episode,
Speaker 1: so you're welcome to all of you that always say
Speaker 1: longer episodes please.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I could keep talking for another hour
Speaker 2: and a half if we're allowed to. But somebod someone's
Speaker 2: got big business to record your other bloody podcasts. Weren't
Speaker 2: you cheating on me with?
Speaker 1: All? Right? Well, I think that's it for close.
Speaker 2: Friends, Matt cool. I forget how we end this.
Speaker 1: We just say thanks for listening and see you all.
