1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: Seven seven two, what's gone viral with Zella?

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 2: Time for the world of viral content. Now are cabozella Ah?

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: Good morning to you Bella.

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: Ah, DVDs, VCRs, vhs, vhs. I can't even say it.

5
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 2: Retro rewind.

6
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a great one. So some game developer

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: has developed a game where you can be the manager

8
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: of a video store. So basically you accept, you know,

9
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: people come, they'll take the videos or the DVDs. You

10
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: can sell them popcorn, slash puppies, you can charge them

11
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: for late returns, a whole bunch of stuff, and you

12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: manage the store. And it's it's sitting at number five

13
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: on the sort of the Games list in terms of

14
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: the most popular games. It's called retro Rewind Video Store Simulator.

15
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: Nah.

16
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: I mean whatever, if you want to go play this,

17
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: it's cool and I would love to know who's playing it.

18
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: Is it people that were from that generation or if

19
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: it's the younger generation and think, wow, this is so cool.

20
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: You have to go and fetch your movies to drive

21
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: and get the movies rather than just downloading. So I

22
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: mean there's obviously something here that's sticking with people or

23
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: you know, touching people. So I wanted us to go

24
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: back to the days of visiting a Mister Video or

25
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: you know, the the other brands and franchises that were

26
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: around way back then. And you know, you can maybe

27
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: depending on your age, you may remember that you went

28
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: and got the VHS tapes. Then you would get home

29
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: and you would put them into the VCR. There's that

30
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: beautiful sound where you put it and then the tape

31
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: sort of gets swallowed and you just hear that noise, right,

32
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: and then you turn it on, you watch the trailers,

33
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: and then you might be sitting there thinking, Okay, this

34
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: is going to be a great movie. Hey, and then

35
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: there's something wrong with the VHS tape. You know, it

36
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: starts making all those yeah yeah, exactly exactly. So let's

37
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 1: hear those stories this morning, those memories of walking into

38
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: a video store buying via, getting the VHS's or the DVDs,

39
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: your your late returns. What did you do when you

40
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: had to, you know, pay the fine? Did you find

41
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: a different video store? Sure you know one of those people.

42
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: So there's so many memories there bongal some fun about it.

43
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: I missed DVD gurus they were called, and there were

44
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: a special sort of that that. So the films you

45
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: watch at the Nouveau, those are the films. They had

46
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: a DVD gurus and they were in malvel Okay, And

47
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: I used to hire those special films, not movies, films, DVDs.

48
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: What's your DVD rental store?

49
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: Store?

50
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: Love work on it? Yeah, did you hire DVDs?

51
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: We never used to hire DVDs.

52
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 4: We used to purchase them and keep them, so it

53
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 4: was more beneficial to us.

54
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: When my daughter was growing up, it was a really

55
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: special treat to take her to the local video town

56
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: to go choose a movie. She had the ones that

57
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: you know she could keep, but she also enjoyed the

58
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: treat of let's go higher. So she still has a

59
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: sentimental attachment. But there's no video town any longer. It's

60
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: not where we live.

61
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 4: This is Breakfast with Bongani on seven o two, Little Little.

62
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 5: Wow, Cobazilline Bongani. Such beautiful memories you're bringing up. I

Speaker 5: ht In Midrand.

69
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 6: In the team. My story is actually really funny because

70
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 6: this was like the idea of having DVDs was such

71
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 6: a privilege, and it coincided with us moving out of

72
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 6: the castle.

73
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 3: And we still have like this big book, this big

74
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 3: bookcase like thing where we all were told, listen, pick

75
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: your favorite DVDs.

76
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 6: We now can afford to have DVDs in the house and.

77
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 3: Report a hell of a lot of tvts And it's

78
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 3: still up there in my parents' house Upstates. But like

79
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: it actually brings back fond memories like Blu Ray when

80
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 3: it came out, like we had a collection of that.

81
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 3: Those added to that collection.

82
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 7: More from Pretoria Morning Bungals. This is Angel from Johannesburg.

83
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 7: When I was younger in the eighties, I was dating

84
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 7: a guy who'd always seen all the videos in the store,

85
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 7: and he didn't ever want me to cut my hair

86
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 7: or drink any beer or all of it. But then

87
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 7: the day that we broke up, I went to the hairdress,

88
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 7: I cut my hair, I went and drank a bear

89
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 7: in the middle of the day, and I went to

90
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 7: the video store and hired at the same time, seven

91
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 7: VHS videos that I'd been dying to see.

92
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: Oh man, bring back those. Not everything about the past

93
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 2: was all that bad, was it, right? Not everything about

94
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: the past was all that bad. My daughter still remember

95
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 2: those remembers, those days where we would go and she

96
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 2: could choose whatever video she wanted to watch.

97
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 4: The most interesting thing for me is that people used

98
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 4: to actually hire and return them.

99
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: That was the whole point.

100
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 4: Yes, and return them and not keep them in their homes.

101
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 4: I don't see that happening today. I don't see people

102
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 4: hiring a DVD right or returning it.

103
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: No. No, we were very responsible, loyal people were very

104
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: responsible people. Plus they had all your details so they'd

105
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 2: find you. You mean you didn't just go high, im
