WEBVTT - Would You Volunteer To Be Hexed By A Witch? 🧙‍♀️ 0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.199 The Flex and Rooms Daily podcast brought. 0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:08.039 Cushion to everyone anyone before we start, Ready, is a 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:10.920 recession gonna happen? Or are we in a recession? 0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:11.920 Yes? 0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:14.360 These are important and depressing questions. But today we're gonna 0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:15.640 try and make it a bit lighter and a bit 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.560 funner and tell you about some things that you might 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:21.240 notice that could indicate that a recession is either coming 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:24.000 or we are within it. Yeah, Flex, you brought this one. 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:26.320 It's very exciting, but we didn't really get to the 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:27.760 very bottom of it. So I think we're gonna have 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:28.840 to do another podcast at it. 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:31.680 Don't do so many like as the news changes and 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:33.720 we get more information, we'll have to do so many 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:37.200 things change every week. The petrol was two dollars thirty three. 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:39.199 Now it's going back to one, and it's going back up. 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:41.360 It's got back up. Who did we pay to get 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:42.520 at that price? I'm not sure? 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:43.199 I know. 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:47.960 Okay, scary, but it's good to remain educated. 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:49.560 This is true. Let's get it. 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:51.280 Fleck and Frooms. 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:51.800 Hey, listen. 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:53.360 So when I was doing some googling the other day, 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:54.960 I don't know how I got there, But that's neither 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.120 here nor that it's not integral to the story. I 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.800 came across a bit of content that told me that 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:03.160 Sprite had done a rebrand, and I think it's because 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:07.440 on TikTok somebody was doing a graphic design review of 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.280 the rebrand from like a branding lens, and I was 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.559 like cool, And then my FBI agent in my phone 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:14.200 was like, you're gonna love more of this content when 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:18.000 you serve it to you anyway, talking about plastic bottles 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:18.800 in landfill. 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:22.400 Nice, all this, Yeah, plastic bottles in landfill. 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:27.160 And the real reason behind the Sprite rebrand is not 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:33.520 for marketing or consumer psychology or to look pretty. It's 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:39.040 allegedly because in a sea of landfill, it's very easy 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.560 to see which bottles are Sprite bottles because they were 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:46.480 bright green. So once you know, the coke labels have 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.040 been like, you know, decomposed off the bottle, and you know, 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.360 once the lemonade bottles and the Mount Franklin bottles labels 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:57.160 have decomposed, they're just plastic bottles. And once you've been 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.800 crushed up, you're like, they're clear. You can't really see 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:04.400 what brand it once was, but that's Sprite green something 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.240 about it. No, Yeah, because the new Sprite bottles are 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.000 clear plastic with a green label. 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.520 I mean, I'm holding a sprite right here. It's a can. 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.959 However, Yes, but what else is green in a can? 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.880 Guinness VB. You know what I'm saying. 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.280 The only other green thing that I can think of 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.560 is Mountain Jew. But I don't think I can think 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:25.639 of any other green bottles. 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:26.560 I can't either. 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:30.600 That's a shame because I like drinking sprites. It's a 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:34.720 shame I no environment, because there's no other drink that 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:36.799 comes in a green thing besides Mountain Jew. But I 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:38.520 don't even consider that to be a drink. That's like 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:42.200 stuff that you'd see on the Simpsons when they get 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.880 those mega sugar slashes. But it's a shaming. I like 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.600 the drinking experience of drinking a spie out of something 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.600 that's green. If it's clear, I'm like, it just looks 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.880 like water. It's like making me sick. It reminds me 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.359 of like, you know, what are those things called electrolytes? 0:02:58.080 --> 0:02:59.760 Reminds you of a drink of electrolytes? 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:01.480 Yeah, like little little sports. 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.519 Drink any sprites? 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:04.720 Okay. 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.440 I love learning about you because honestly, you were written 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.600 by someone a group of a group of quirky girls, 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:22.200 a group of supervising for the global conglomerate doing a rebrand. 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:25.440 Year ten drama studts. Yes, this is not okay, flex 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.800 And you do remember high school? 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:32.120 Yeah? 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.160 From what I gather, Yeah, I kind of remember. My 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.560 friends will mention names and experiences and I'm like clocked out. 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:39.840 I have three core memories. 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:43.160 That's it. Well, I'll ask you to divulge them later 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.760 on the show. But now read this story in Sydney 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:47.560 Morning Herald. 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.440 Your favorite. 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:55.560 Repairing my story last week Sydney High School has banned 0:03:55.640 --> 0:04:01.640 mobile phones and plot twist. It had dramatic results positive. 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:03.000 Let me let me tell you. 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:04.600 I didn't say it's a Doug act, but if it 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:05.960 worked out, then I take it back. 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:10.400 There's a school called Davidson High School and they recently 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.760 banned kids year seven to ten from using the mobile 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:15.680 phones at school. So essentially, when they come through the 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.120 come through the door, they're giving these pouches so they 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:20.359 have to put their phone in. 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:25.360 Like comedy gigs, so they do that. Yeah, I'm sure 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.480 they do it other gigs as well, but I've had it. 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.000 I've experienced it at a comedy gig. 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:31.800 I feel so the comedy gigs is the one where 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.520 you should have your phone. I'm not sure comedians need 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:35.359 pre press. 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.080 I think it's the ones that turn into specials that 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:39.279 they don't want anyone. 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.440 To leak sax fack sax facts, so they give they 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.640 give the shoulds, these little tiny pouches that look, oh, 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:46.160 there's just. 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.760 Like near pren scuba diving material pouch with a lock 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.480 on it, so it's in there. It's like sealed tight 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.440 and it's waterproof and water resistant and cushion it to 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.520 your phone is safe, best environment. 0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.040 So you're starting to have some vake time. 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:03.520 Oh little cocoon, Yeah, like a bebet. Apparently classrooms, the 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.479 principle says classrooms have effectively become phone free and this 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.400 is allowed staff to focus on educating students, which makes 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.800 a lot of sense. Also, in the eight weeks of 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.640 the policy, there's been a ninety percent reduction in behavioral 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.719 issues related to phones in schools. 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:18.839 Well, yeah, because there are no phones. 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:21.920 No, no, no, you're not. 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:23.919 Then what's the ten percent? 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.400 I think like an offshoot of having your phone means 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.600 that apparently you talk less like play lunch and. 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.400 Lunch you talk less at lunch if you. 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.960 Have phones, if you're playing on your phone. Yeah, So therefore, 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:36.839 like them not having phones, it means they have to 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:42.040 interact more, which decreases the use of like the it 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:43.799 reduces the instance. 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.360 Of I would love to a do social behavior. What 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:46.840 these behavioral issues are? 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:47.560 Like? 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:49.960 Is it cyber bullying? Is it? 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:55.279 I think it's cyberbullying and like contributing to conflict between 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:59.000 the students, which sounds like it would be cyber bullying. Yeah, 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.159 and it's just gotta be thinking. I remember in school, 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.119 I swear we had iPhones and stuff, but I remember 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:04.960 not being able to use them in class and it 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.599 wasn't like we'd go on break lunch time and people 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.160 would be like playing on their phones in a way 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:10.760 that was antisocial. Do you remember that. 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.000 I don't think I had an iPhone in school. I 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.480 remember having a three flip phone in year ten. That 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:18.960 feels like very Maybe an iPhone three. 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:20.120 Yes, side iPhone three? 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.719 Maybe that was like you you're twelve, but maybe you. 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:26.120 Remember did we have like the Facebook app on them? No? 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:28.680 Did we anybody remember? 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:29.960 We want you? 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.520 Maybe that Facebook app? But I don't think all your 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.360 friends were at school. We need a Facebook app for 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.400 we're taking photos and listening to music. 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:39.240 That was a big one. 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.560 Yeah, fat it was the iPod and the music and 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:43.720 the headphones in they're like put your headphones away, like, oh, 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:44.200 just one in. 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.599 Then they're just emo kids often with they just funny 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.560 and the leave my community out of it. So I 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.640 wonder if this will be an uptake. I just can't 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:58.600 imagine like having TikTok that's designed to make you obsessed 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.000 with your phone. I don't know how I would have 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:01.359 on in high school if I had TikTok. 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:03.480 Yeah, I definitely think there would need to be a 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.679 withdrawal period, you know, like I can see like short 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.240 term positive impacts where it's like, Okay, we have nothing 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.960 else to focus on butt class, so we'll apply ourselves. 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:13.680 Then the withdrawal of being like. 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.040 We've got nothing else to focus on butt class, so 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.760 we're not going to do it at all. I also 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.680 think that if we're living in an environment that's increasingly 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.480 tech centered, then we should be learning how to integrate 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.080 tech in a healthier way, not just taking it away 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.520 and assuming that when you bring it back the behavior 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:30.280 is going to change. 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:32.960 That's a great point. Yeah, it's a really great point. 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:33.440 Thank you. 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.360 Nothing else say on that. Are you pro or like, 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.040 let's finish it off? You pro or against mobile phones 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:41.119 in class? Just we No, we stand against tough crowd. 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.239 There's plenty of other time to integrate technology with your life, 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.160 but it gets you to the real world. Reboss ses 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:50.880 you doodling on Facebook and reprimands you okay. 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:54.680 Trauma, this is flex and frooms on Cada. 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:59.120 We are potentially in a recession. The Internet can't really 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.320 be sure, and I like to be prepared. And I 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:06.920 think my all of my feeds Instagram, Facebook, whatever, know 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.600 that because that is all my feed is. I thought 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.720 a weird indication that we were going to be in 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.560 a recession was when like the letters started getting really 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:19.160 expensive and petrol started getting really expensive, and I was like, 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.840 is this a thing that just happened. No, it's not. 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:26.000 It could be leading us to a very very specific outcome. 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.120 But we're not fear mongers. We like to observe and 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:30.400 gather data. I like that. 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:36.040 I like to perpetuate myths, well, research myths, though I 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:39.360 always have the facts someway here. All right, listen to 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.079 this though, Yeah. 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:44.000 What's a weird recession? Indicator, the hemline index, so the 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.240 idea that your skirts get shorter when the economy is 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.000 doing well and longer when it's not. That's also weird 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:53.040 recession indicator. There are men's underwear and decks that says 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:59.080 that men will put offline underwear when things give the lipstick. 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.040 So basically, historically women would treat themselves to the little 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:03.559 trees like lipstay. 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:04.400 During economic card times. 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.040 Scarlett, Yeah, what's a weird recession indicator? 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:09.079 I like the cardboard box. 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.800 Indicator because it's a measurement of an electric. 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:15.280 Shift items to ourselves Amazon for instance, but also a 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.280 measurement of manufacturing activity. So if there's gonna be a 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.480 drop off in demand like during a recesion, and then 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.720 you're gonna see a drop off and we see cardboard 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.640 boxes like this one. 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:26.640 Kja, what's up? 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.000 What's a weird recession indicator? Has anyone talked about diapers yet? 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:30.560 All right? 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.960 This diaper change theory is the idea that during economic 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.520 card times, parents change diapers less frequently. 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:40.280 Sonny, what's a weird recession indicator? Since the eighties, that's 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.360 been a pattern that champagne sales pop drop through cart wives. 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.800 That first one how about there are so many like 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.280 how can the dot like looking at daughter and retrospect 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.240 tells you all of these things. And I feel like, 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.480 without knowing there's a recession, if for some reason, people 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:58.760 just started buying lips, if you're like, Okay, that's cool, 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.360 like lipsticks a pop. The fact that they can tie 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.120 it back to the recession, And when I say they, 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.280 am like who are they? The economists of the world? 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.600 I know, but that to me, I'm like whoa number one? 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.240 The lipstick effect. The idea that you will treat yourself 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.960 to little luxuries when times get tough, yes or no. 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.400 For me, I personally wouldn't do it, but I know 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:19.840 the research. I've heard that before. 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:23.120 You're good with spending though, right yeah, you just said 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:24.720 food is a big thing you've been spending your money on. 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.800 But that's not recession related, right, No, that's like a 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:28.400 lifestyle thing. 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.439 It's a lifestyle choice. That's the one thing I'll that's 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:31.960 a hell I'll die on, so to speak. In terms 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:36.320 of what I buy good quality food, yes, but I 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.840 definitely see. I feel like if you're in a situation 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.720 like I don't have a family, so therefore, like I'm 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:43.600 not in the hum. 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:45.600 Shout out to Olivia and see. 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:50.240 No, like I don't have a family that I have 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:51.800 to support. I think if I had a family that 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:53.920 I had to support, and I can't see any way 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:55.960 out in the foreseeable future, and I don't know how 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:57.960 long the recession is going to go, I'm probably gonna 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.520 buy a lipstick as a little luxury because I working 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.480 night and day to keep my family supported. In any way, 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:06.040 how long was the last recession two thousand and eight, 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.480 two thousand and seven to two thousand and eight, it 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:10.120 was like a year? 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:12.360 Is that a long time for recession? 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.120 Well, then you got like the Great Depression, But I 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.160 don't know if that was a depression or a recession. 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:22.559 That's a difference. And that was in the twenties, Yeah, 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:23.920 and there was one in the eighties it was like 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.880 a quick crash, but or nineties. Yeah, but the big 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:28.719 ones are two thousand and eight for US. Yeah, a 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:29.840 lot of people got divorced. 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.400 Yeah, worldwide or in Australia. 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.480 Worldwide, well wherever it was impact in the markets. 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.679 Yeah, So you know how they were talking about the 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.400 lipstick effect, right, I feel like that makes a lot 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:46.680 of sense. Pre internet shopping because buying little luxuries would 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.240 have been way more intentional when you had to physically 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.800 leave your house, go to a department store commit to 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:56.640 a purchase. But now I'll buy things like muscle memory. Yeah, 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.760 I'll see it, think it, buy it, And I don't. 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.760 It doesn't feel like an expense or doesn't feel like 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:06.640 an intentional purchase. Therefore, I don't think that that like 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.600 sales have spike so much for us to recognize that 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.719 in today's shopping economy, Yeah, people are buying things all 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:14.199 the time. 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:17.280 I really want to buy this sparkly water bottle. Oh, 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.679 it's got gems all over it. It's incredible. It's like 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.520 a Swarewski crystal line. Yeah, yeah from where? It's one 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:23.160 hundred dollars? 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:23.960 Where's it from? 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:26.520 I'll have to get the brand? Can I see visual? Yeah? 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:28.040 Why do you want to buy it? 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:31.000 Because it's absolutely stunning. But I don't know if I 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.920 can facilitate spend one hundred dollars in water bottle feels 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:37.319 very antithetic to what I like spend money on. 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:38.920 But I'll find I support you, I'll find it. 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.400 For you, because who, when, when could you ever justify 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:44.520 buying a sparkly water bottle. 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:45.280 That's one hundred dollars. 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.600 So now now it's the perfect time, right, yeah, I guess. 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:49.960 So is it gonna make more sense next week? Probably not. 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:51.960 I think it'd make more sense when I hit some 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.760 other financial goals, like as a trait, I struggle to 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.000 buy things that aren't like something that I can wear 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.079 every day like that, and as well, the water walls 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:00.679 is a treating mine because I'm ProAb lose it. 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.280 No way, actually no, I take it right. 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:08.040 You probably will let your experience or Okay, here's a 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:08.560 solution though. 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.840 Chuck an air tag on your water bottle. It's good 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:11.080 to go. 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:12.400 How do you get an AirTag? 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:16.560 That's what it's called, right, an AirTag? Apple send. 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:21.240 Apple sells these little key chains with trackers in them, 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:23.120 and you can get them and put it in your bag, 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:26.920 in your car, in your suitcase so you can always 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:27.680 track the item. 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.199 Wow, you haven't heard of that. No, I'm going to 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:32.360 get that before I go to Europe. 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.920 Yeah, you definitely need that before you go to Europe, babe. 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:35.520 Yeah, damn. 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:36.960 Okay, and it's actually so good. 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.560 I have one in my suitcase and when I leave 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.719 it like I walk away from my suitcase I leave 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.680 the house, it'll tell me, like, you left your suitcase 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.360 back at the property constant alerts. 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:49.560 Oh my god, that's amazing. 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:50.760 It's pretty good. 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.920 But also air tags are sus though, because they've been 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:59.479 used a lot in trafficking, but trafficking people, Yeah, babe, damn. 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.080 Everything's connected. Okay. 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:02.880 The other one that I like a lot is the 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.880 cardboard box theory. The idea that you know that people 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:10.720 are spending less because people are purchasing less cardboard boxes 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:14.079 or boxes generally to package the stuff that they're buying. 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:17.320 That makes total sense. I thought you're gonna say, it's 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:22.560 like like people aren't using cardboard boxes to like move house. 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.520 Oh do you know what I did that twice? 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:31.680 I used a reusable plastic tub moving company to move houses. 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:35.320 And while you think it's a really efficient process, it's 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.640 just not like structurally that shape that. 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:39.600 What do you call this? 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:43.320 It's like a rope, like a trapeze kind of a tub. 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.640 You get it to a tub shape, it's not it's 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.920 not the best thing to put stuff in because it's 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.440 not shallow, it's not deep enough, and it's not malleable. 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:52.760 You can kind of squeeze a. 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.760 Cardboard box into it, and it's expensive, so I get 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.320 it works for the environment. But then I'm like, someone's 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.920 manufacturing plastic boxes so I can keep using them. 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.040 Is that really good for the environment. It's just like 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:03.800 not as bad? 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:04.320 Yeah? 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:05.440 Is that making sense? 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:07.600 I don't know, have you. We've got the bottle. 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:11.720 I'm getting up right now. I'm nearly there, nearly nearly there, 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.480 nearly there end clothing is where I found it. 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:19.120 Oh yeah, okay, okay, oh my god, I'm going to 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:20.640 do a quiz for you, so you know whether or 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:22.800 not you should get this bottle. Okay, Okay, this is good, 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.560 This is good. This is how you know you should 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:26.160 buy something. 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:27.880 Okay, it's this. I want that one? 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.160 You want the Star one? Okay, I've seen the Star bottle. 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.680 It's exactly as for me described one hundred and eight dollars, 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:36.440 probably more because I think that's a US dollar site. 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:38.520 Oh shit, yeah, it is true. 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.040 That's a shame. Okay. 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.440 First question to see whether or not you should buy 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:46.120 the bottle. This is a recession proofing your life. Okay, hypothetically, 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.960 with what's sitting in your account now, could you afford 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:49.720 to buy the bottle? 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:50.280 Twice? 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:51.480 Yeah. 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.360 If yes, then you should get the bottle number two. 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:57.680 Do you imagine because for example, let's say I wanted 0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:01.600 to buy myself a new I can't afford to buy the. 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:03.520 Car twice, So don't worry about it. 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:07.160 I'm you're gonna be too negatively impacted by the burden 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.560 of that car, because if you can't afford to buy 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:12.400 it twice, then buying it once you probably haven't considered 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.200 what about the maintenance, the petrol, the car washing, and 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.560 all the other considerations the tolls with buying the car. 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:20.640 So if you can afford to buy it twice, that 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:23.880 means you have a buffer of all the other expenses 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:27.320 that could crop up with owning the new item. 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:30.160 Got that from You got to spend money to get money. 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:31.880 Sometimes, but you know this is a frivolous purchase. You're 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.120 not starting a business with the bottle. So it's just like, 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.360 with that in mind, you can buy two of them. 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:41.160 Buy the bottle the second thing. Could you use the 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:44.600 bottle enough times that the cost per wear is so 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:48.880 low daily that it wouldn't impact your lifestyle. For example, 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:52.240 let's say the bottles one hundred Australian dollars. Let's say 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.120 you use the bottle one hundred times, that would cost 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:56.440 you a dollar every time you use the bottle? 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:57.120 Can you afford that? 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:58.400 That seems crazy to me? 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.120 Then could you use the bottle two hundred times? Pay 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:03.120 fifty cents every time? 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:05.240 Putting that dollar? Because I just like I'll buy a 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:09.280 like night. I don't know if it's like an accessory. 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:12.600 Yes, but let's say with an accessory you've bought. Likely, 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:15.919 say you buy a new ring, right, how many times 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.080 would you wear that ring for that cost per word 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:18.920 to be of value to you? 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:20.240 True? 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:23.040 If you couldn't afford to use the bottle for five 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:24.960 dollars every time you used it, then you probably don't 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:25.640 want it that much. 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:29.119 Yeah. I think if you're unsure, then well, can we 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:30.840 do more of these on our next podcast? 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:31.120 Yeah? 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:31.879 We can think there's more. 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.399 I think recession is very appropriate. It's apocalypse prepping. Did 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:36.199
