1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,520
Speaker 1: It's Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.

2
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 2: And it's no secret that in America, stores everywhere have

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 2: to deal with theft. Oh, especially yeah, but especially drug

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 2: stores like CVS.

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 3: Oh, I think that my drug store has just resorted

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 3: to just not filling the shelves. Yeah, it's actually we're

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 3: just not gonna stap.

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 4: They put up a big old security camera.

9
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 1: With a big blue light, and then I think the

10
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: light got stolen.

11
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, all of these things aren't great for sales.

12
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: So what do you do.

13
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: Well, maybe a store in a tiny town in Australia's

14
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: finally figured it out. It's a thrift shop called Goosey

15
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: Goosey Gander. They're charging people a five dollars entry fee,

16
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: refundable upon purchase, exact trial.

17
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: Giving your credit card, and then what if there's nothing.

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: You like in there, Well, then you've paid five dollars

19
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: to enter the store.

20
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: Day.

21
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: It'll go towards your but you'll yeah, you'll get it

22
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: back if you buy something. I told you one of

23
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: the reasons that they did it was for theft. But

24
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: the other reason is they're done dealing with time wasters,

25
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: people who come in with a lot of questions and

26
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: don't end up buying anything, or people who come in

27
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: and like move stuff around from one shelf to the other.

28
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: My mom calls that window shopping, and we did a

29
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 3: lot of it, and all.

30
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 2: Those businesses are now out of out of money thanks

31
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 2: to you and your mom. The owner said, some people

32
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 2: come in here just to get out of the rain

33
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: or the heat, and we're simply not providing that free

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: service anymore.

35
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 3: Wow, So I guess we're not doing that whole customer

36
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: first thing anymore.

37
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 4: You don't ask questions either.

38
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: The customers blew that privilege. So what's the public reaction?

39
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: In general?

40
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: Most people are up in arms over this. One woman said,

41
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: this is so dumb, really.

42
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: Dumber than the name Goosey Goosey gear.

43
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: Sorry, that's a comment I read on our podcast page

44
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: the podcast.

45
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: This is so stupid? Who approved this? Still our podcast?

46
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: Okay, but how's the shop doing? The owner says, most

47
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: customers don't have any problem with paying the entry fee,

48
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: and the shop is doing much better financially than it

49
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: was before.

50
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: Okay, so the people who were already paying to go

51
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 3: there are fine.

52
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: Pain Yeah yeah, Plus, all the proceeds made from the

53
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: entry fees are all donated to a local volunteer run

54
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: historical site in Australia.

55
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 3: That's so that people feel like jerks who complain about it.

56
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, luckily, no complainers here. As we move on and

57
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: get into the shock collar question of the day, we

58
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,080

00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 4: It was so unbelievably huge. It became a tourist attraction

68
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 4: for three whole months until it eventually rotted out, at

122
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: a statue of the sneezing one is the best to go,

123

00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go all the way to twenty all.

132
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:57,240

00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 4: every hour on the hour, from eight am to eight pm.

137
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 4: I want to know, is this a real tourist trap

138
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 4: or am I full of crab?

139
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how to answer, because when

140
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: I was growing up, me and my family only traveled

141
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,360

00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 3: Oh my god, is it for fishing?

145
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: No, it was just the pond.

146
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: There was no fish in it, a giant singing toothbrush.

147
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: I'm assuming it's battery powered and there it'd be really

148
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: expensive to keep changing the batteries on it.

149
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say that's full of crab.

150
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 4: Jeffrey says, full of crab. Yeah, I have lost plenty

151
