• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if that.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: When was Jeshy Campbell boots?

  Speaker 2: Do you remember Jeffrey Campbell.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Was also like twenty eleven. Yeah, that was like twenty
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: eleven to twenty fourteen. I'd say the Jeffrey Hampballs.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So this trend has been nicknamed twenty twenty six is
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the new twenty sixteen, and it's basically everyone kind of
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: going back to the golden era of the Internet. So
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: like the Snapchat Dog Feel Time, I love the Flower Crown, Yes,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Tumblr Aesthetics, the Mannequin Challenge, Yeah yeah, the bottle flip videos, yes,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: bring those back.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: I enjoyed it. Bring it back.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: The overlined Matt lips chokers and Instagram Battie makeup, and
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: of course the absolute peak of Kylie Jenner's King Kylie era.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: So it was the year that Kylie Cosmetics lip kits
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: broke the Internet.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: And I have a question. Did you guys ever buy
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: a Kylie Jenner lip kit? I didn't, but I bought
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: Colour Pop. Colour Pop was my ear up. But Kylie,
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: I remember it was so hard to get them. The
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: really cool kids in my grade got them because their
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: mom's or dad's at work went and waited in line
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: when we were at school like online. I mean, yeah, anyways,
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: and I didn't get one. Did you guys get one?
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: I think I bought the Vogue magazine that came with
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: with the Kylie that that happen, and that was the
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: only way I was ever able to get one. So
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: of course it was in like a fuck shade that
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: I would have liked. It wasn't It wasn't one of
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: the blues, but it was one of the like nudy
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: neutral ones.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: But I think it was more of a like pink,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: like pinky, peachy kind of color that eye with. But
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I used to wear.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: This was also before twenty sixteen, but like, do you
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: remember Lime Crime, Yes, so they sort of really started
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: the colored lipstick trend and I used to wear that,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: So I think by the time the lip kits came around,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: I had already moved past.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: My colored lipstick era.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: But on your note of Colour Pop, though, do you
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: remember that in twenty sixteen there was a bit of
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a scandal because there was allegations, which I don't believe
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: have been proven or anything like that, that Kylie Jenna
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: lip kits were formulated in the same factory as Color Pop.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I did not hear this, yeah, and that everyone was
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: saying that Kylie Jenner lip Kits again alleged alleged Kylie,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Don't Sue Me, was the same formula as Color Pop.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Because as someone who every single drop woke up at
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: like two am to buy the lip kits, it makes
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: me kind of like my skin Crawel, because I'm like,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: how much money did you spend on these fucking lipkits,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: you dumb bitch?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Like how much were they at the time?
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Great question, Sally.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I actually had that answer prepped, and they were twenty
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: nine USD right, so roughly around like fifty dollars fifty
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: four fifty to fifty four dollars right. But this is
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: also my question, is you would get a lipstick and
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: a lip liner in one pack for fifty dollars, making
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the lip liner twenty five dollars roughly and the lipstick
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: twenty five dollars. So is that actually now we look
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: at prices of products now, well, Kylie Jenner lipkits actually affordable.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not actually too bad. Yeah, I know what
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: are they now?
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: They're sirventy four dollars USD now, so at mecha, they
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: retail for fifty four dollars. But I don't know if
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I see anyone ever using them or talking about them anymore.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Not like the lip products.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: I feel like, very occasionally I hear people using some
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: of the Kylie.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Cos the tints apparently use Charlie Dinner.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: No.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I actually have never bought any Kylie product.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: I can't believe her.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: We're gonna tell Kylie call her up, call tailor up
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: to cold tailer up.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: But here's the plot twist of my tea, right, is
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: that in just three months we've actually gone back for
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the ten years and now apparently two thousand and six
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: is so back. So I asked you the same question,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: where were you in two thousand and six?
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Now you can make the feedus. I was five, That
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: is fucking I was ten.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: You would have been what twelve? No in two thousand
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: and six?
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, was I twelve years older than may?
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Are you the teen thirteen?
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Okay? I was off one year. The shop was not necessary.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: No, sorry, I don't know why. I think I felt
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: so much older at the time, you know what I mean.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: But two thousand and six I was like, well and
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: truly in my EMO era, Like that was the golden
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: year of the EMO era.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: So that was like one of the best years of
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: my life.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so like for me as well, like we were
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: born in the nineties to that TikTok trend, will you
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: turn us into dinosaurs?
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: That it's like I feel I always feel so.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Nostalgic for the nineties, and we're going to do an
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: episode on nostalgia next week, so we won't go too
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: much into it, can't. But do you feel that way
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: about like two thousand and six and stuff like that
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: when you see trends like that coming?
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: What do you think now?
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: I kind of do because I idolized my older cousins
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: who were teenagers in two thousand and six, and so
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: I remember looking at them going out clubbing like King's Cross,
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: like I was just there, like I wasn't droning along,
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: and they would we like such cool outfits like the
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: wedge hills and the layers and the side part, and
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: so I feel nostalgic for that, like watching them go
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: through it as a child. And I also I'm obsessed
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: with childhood photos.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I always look back at every same I have like this.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Box that has like all of my like actual photos
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: in it. Whenever I get drunk, I like force all
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: my friends to look at them, pull it out. And
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I've got one friend and every time he's like, give
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: me to books, and he loves yes, sorry, and he
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: gets his favorites and then he walks around the party
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: and shows it everyone everyone and he's like look at her,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: and he's like look and this is her dad and
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: this is her no, And I'm like, sure, that's enough.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: He's like, no, it's my box.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: You're gonna like go try and find it one day
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: and I'll be gone.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: He would be seriously, But I was looking into this,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and because so many of the trends that we're seeing
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: kind of come back in, I actually think fit more
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: into that two thousand and six ish era.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Rather than twenty sixteen.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: So I thought we could a little game of two
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: thousand and six trend check yay or nay?
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, ok, yeah, I'm excited.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: We've got a millennial, we've got a gen Z, we've
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: got a sillennial, a millennial, We've got whatever I want
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: to start. I want to be on for the day
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: because whatever article you look up, I'm either one or
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the other only, So I kind of just like choose
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: whatever I want to benefit me that day.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Like if there's gen Z's bullying a millennial, I'll be like, yeah, ill,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: your ankle sucks. And then if we're bullying gen zs
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: are like, yeah, stupid useeens anyway. Okay, So yeah your nay.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: So I'll get you to answer first for this one.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Peep toe shoes ooh.
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: Sabrina Carpenter was seen wearing pop recently.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: I think I think nay oh why because I once
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: I took my mum's credit card with love to Mum,
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: and I went to the shop at my birthday party
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: and I bought all of these really huge Diamonti peeptoe
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: heels that I could not walk in for like my
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: sweet sixteen and so I have really bad memories associated
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: with almost breaking my ankle and peeptoe shoes.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, see for me, it's for her Bets rebrand.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: No, I haven't.
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: Oh my god, the best re brand is insane.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: They've had a huge glower. It looks so good and
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: it's I'm so excited.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's turned out of ten. I've got homework for today.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: So I don't know. I feel like it's my associations
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: with them, but MYLXA Brenda Carpenter could pull them off.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I'm a nay more because I just have really long toes. Yeah,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: and I feel like they're going to be like kind
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: of crawling out the front and it's like.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: A scary, whereas I don't love having my dogs out. No,
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: but then like a closed toe heel sometimes is like
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: can look a bit awkward peeking out of like a
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: long dress or a pant, so I don't mind it.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: My next one side parts, No, I'm sorry, nay.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Oh my god.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: Really but again this is me making it all about myself.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: Is I gave myself a side part for years in
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: primary school, so I just had bad memories associated.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so middle part, but some.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: People can pull it off. Well, actually, yay for others,
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: but nay for myself.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: You got to say true to yourself.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: Guy, Okay, so nay, yeah, back yourself, back myself.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so I completely agree. Nay for me.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: I had a side part for I think maybe a
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: solid eighteen years of my life, and its eighteen looking
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: back at the photos, I'm like, this just didn't suit
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: me and my face shape. Yeah.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: I think for some people it's great.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: I don't have the hairline for it, and I've like,
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: I feel like it's given me a cowlick like having
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: the sidepart for but I'm like, it also took so
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: long to train my hair to sit in the middle
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: part again that I'm like, fuck all that work.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: To be undone.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: See I'm a yay because I also have said Cowlick,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: and I think at one point I'm just gonna have
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: to succumb to it.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: It's holding me hostage. At this point. It's like, am
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: I you can do it?
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: Though?
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: I remember you used to do speaking of twenty six Steen,
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: like you used to be able to do really well,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: the like Kylie Jenner kind of like flipped hair where
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: it wasn't like pinned down or flight in a sidepart,
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: but you had the volume where you could kind of.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I think I've like ruined it though, because I've been
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: wearing my hair in the middle part for so many
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: years that now it's like if I try to flip
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: it over, it's like, yeah, it doesn't know what's going on.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: We need to just pick one part and stick with
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: it and stop listening to pop culture.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, otherwise you fuck your hair up. Okay.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Turquoise specifically turquoise jewelry, yay or nay?
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I think yay. It's kind of fun.
• 13:52

• 14:02
  Speaker 4: boho chic Mary Kate and Ashley moment, and it's very that.
• 14:06

• 14:08
  Speaker 1: aquamarine and see like every fashion trend.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: I agree, that's like trending now, so true.
• 14:14

• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I could do that.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. For me, it's a na purely just from trauma,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: like from from years of trauma.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, totally, it's a n a from me. I didn't
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: like them then and I don't like them now again.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Like I've seen people wear them and they look gorgeous,
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: but for me and my aesthetic, like it just would
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: never Yeah exactly.
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: I think everyone else looks great at them, but I'm
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: like for me, I'm like, that's okay.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: That's why, Like some people are probably like checkerboard advance no,
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: whereas I'm like, that is like a staple that I
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: decided I loved in two thousand and six and it's
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: kept its way exactly.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: And then finally capri pants.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: No, I'm sorry, I can't get around them.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: I just can't.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys pro.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Capris okay, but again one of those things that like
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: it's so just to the eye of the beholder, like yeah,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: anyone else, I'm like, you look amazing, but because I
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: feel quite short, and then when I wear them, I'm.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Like, I feel like I'm.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Back in twenty sixteen going to the gym where like
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: my three quarter length leggings, that's exactly how I feel like.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: I don't feel chic.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: No, I feel like we need shunk.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Like whatever. The opposite of chek is. I'm like, it's
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: getting shunk.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah as three short kings. Yeah, I can understand why. Yeah,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: we're probably not a big fan.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: But again, so like to get.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Some like e warm in my brain though, and in
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: like ten years I'll be wearing capries.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: And be like, I love these, these are so god.
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: But I think my capris would fit like full length
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: pants though.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Literally.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Well, my final question is if you had to bring
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: one two thousand and six trend.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Back, what would it be? And oh wait, to have
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: two questions.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, if you could try and travel back to two
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: thousand and six or twenty and sixteen, which one would
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: you pick. I'd honestly go back to two thousand and
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: six when I was five years old and I had
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: no worries except what snack I was going to get.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: After pre school.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: Hannah Montana was on Hannamon Tan, which I also wasn't
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: a Foxtel baby child neither. I was ABC three, but
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: my mum and dad would buy me the Hannamontana DVDs
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: so I could watch it, so I was a big
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: Hanontana girl.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: And the trend that I.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: Would bring back, I actually really love the wedge, the
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: massive high heels that have like all the straps, and
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: is that two thousand and six we could make.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: It whatever we wanted to do.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: I feel like those massive chunky shoes really remind me
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: of like going out clubbing.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like the really high wedge, Yes, the really high wedge.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: Oh and it's like a gladiator style, yes, I know exactly.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Like the straps up. Yeahah, I know exactly what to
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: bring back. I think, what would you ring back?
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: I love that from two I definitely would go back
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: to two thousand and six. Yeah, as I said, twenty
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: sixteen was like a flop error for me.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: It's like such a nothing.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like I didn't really resonate with any of the
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: trends too much, whereas two thousand and six, I was like,
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: this is my personality and it has stayed.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: So it's really hard to pick one.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: But I would say, raccoon stripes in your hair.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Do you guys remember this? So I'm not sure, Gabby,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: if you would pick from there.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: So essentially it was like in your hair, you would
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: have safe you had black hair, you would have a
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: one blonde streak, and then it would have like black
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: stripes through it.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: Oh my gosh. I have seen this online. I obviously
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: have never done it to my own hair, but that's
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: so cool.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I love that, or like just streaks in
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: your hair.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's bring it back.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: I kind of agree.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: What about you?
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I think we need to bring back like the two
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: thousand and six internet like cringe.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: We need to bring back like internet cringe.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Any space?
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah you guys have MySpace? Yeah? Oh yeah, we had
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: top friends, We had all that.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I was a big tumbler girl, not to like Brad,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: but I had like thirteen thousand tumble followers.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: That's major bras. Yeah, Tumble famous.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: I can see that.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: But I like, I'm like, we need everything so esthetic
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: on the internet.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: It's like, yes, they love, but I'm like, can we
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: bring back the photo booth?
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Lip syncing with your cousin a sleepover?
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: And it's like good girl's gone bad?
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Gosh?
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, such a good song.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: We should make a two thousand and six verse twenty sixteen.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Playlist done, such a good idea.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, Yes, what songs would you put in it? Wait?
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: Though, that's too hard because we'll get it wrong.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: But yeah, we're gonna make like a two thousand and
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: six versus twenty sixteen players with like all the iconic songs.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, we'll put it in the show notes.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, love that? Okay, well that's my tea?
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, exciting?
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: All right, I love it.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: Gibbs a guest of honor. Okay, what's the tea.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: My tea is? Obviously, this week we had the oscars,
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: and the one thing that I thought was really funny
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: is have you guys also been clocked into the Timothy Chalomay? Yeah,
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: Ballety opera moment, yeses, So I found it very interesting
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: in his promotions for Marty Supreme, which with so much
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: love to that movie. I haven't seen it yet, either
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: of but I do feel like he's been in the
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: persona of Marty for so long. I'm just kind of
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: a little bit over that character. Like bring back French Timmy.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: When he was just kind of a little goongi which
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: is a made up word, like.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: A bank, a backlass top sequence and stuff, he just was.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Like so cute.
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: Anyway, in the promotions for that, he had Misty Copeland,
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: who's a ballet dancer, where all this merch and then
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: she said this statement that was very interesting that he
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: got her to do all those promotions but then sort
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: of shagged on her industry, industry, and then she obviously
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: came and performed at the Oscars when Timothy was in
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: the audience, which is very interesting.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: I thought, yeah, because didn't they do a bunch of
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: promo for the film with various greats of different fields
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: and industries.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: So yeah, very very interesting.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: But then also like Timothy's Chalo maze, I think his mum,
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: sister and grandmother or maybe Auntie are also all like
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: professional ballerinas. So it's like, you also know people who
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: work in these fields and who clearly have worked very
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: very hard to get where.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: They are, Like, very bizarre take for him. Bizarre take, Yeah,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: but I did think it was.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: I was like, did was that already organized that she
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: was going to be involved or was the academy like.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they be a messy beach. Yeah, I kind of
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: hope it was the messy bitch version.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: But I saw and take this with a grain of
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: salt because I saw it on TikTok, but.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Very beautiful sauce.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: That Timothy shallow May also went for the role of
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Spider Man, which Tom Holland obviously got. But Tom Holland
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: got the role because he was ballet trained, he could
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: do the stunts.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, does he have.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: A vendetta against ballet because he wasn't picked.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Because this isn't the.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: First time that he said that.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: He said it in multiple I think maybe at least
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: two other recorded instances. So I'm like, why is this
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: your Roman empire? Like ballet and opera, and also these
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: are two crafts that have been around for like a
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: very very long time, So I'm.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Like, I don't know, if I would say that they're
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: dying arts.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Like and also ballet is like the backbones of theater,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: and like the law and legacy of theater to which
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: cinema has been able to evolve from. Yeah, so like
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: respect your eldest, I know that's so true. But who
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: was your best dressed at the Oscars?
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: The actual Oscars? My best dress actually was for the
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: van I thought Kendall Jenner's it was. I think it
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: was a custom Chanelle dress. It was this beautiful blue.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: I thought she looked absolutely incredible. I loved her look
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: so much. It was my favorite fully reposted on my
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: story like a fanger.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: I loved it.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was so good.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of the outfits for the Vanity
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Fair after party were actually better than the Oscars.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Actually, do you think that's because they have to wear
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: something that they have to sit in, like during the
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: awards ceremony, Because like Odessa Azion's look was maybe the
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: best like celebrity red carpet or you know, event look
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: I have seen in a very very long time. My
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: thoughts was that they probably have less power over what
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: they wear to the Oscars because it's probably brand partnerships,
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: so it's like, you know, Sarah Pigeon in Calvin Klein,
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: It's Emma Stone in Louis Vuitton, which that dressed took
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: over six hundred hours to make and it fucking looked
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: it ten out of ten.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: WHOA.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, So I think that reason is they probably
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: get a little bit more wiggle room with like an
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: after party dress, whereas their red carpet dress.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: I would assume is probably brand.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Deals, and like even with you know, their makeup is
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: always done by one brand, their dress is always done
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: by one brand, so it's like and then the jewelry.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: So I think they probably get a little bit of
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: a sway of what they like and what they don't like.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be like this is what you're wearing.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and maybe they also try to keep it a
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: little bit more like classic old Hollywood because like the
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Oscars is such an iconic event.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: It's been around for ninety eight years. Same, I wonder
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: what they'll do for that.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: Been around for one hundred and one, what they'll do
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: for the one hundred years.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: I know it will have to be insane, but yeah, but.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: Did you know that the Oscars is Recalled is set
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: at a mall in America. It's set up just in
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: a random mall, like there's a Sephora next to it
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: and stuff like, yes, what I saw a TikTok about it,
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: so sources sort of trust.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Me, bro, But yes, it's just an a random stopping mall.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: My god, I'm using that.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: That from one of my friends.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Kind of trust me, bro.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: That is amazing what I'm feeling that I stole it
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: from someone.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: I want to look this up where it was.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: I'm sure it's Oscars. Yeah, it's just a random shopping
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: crazy yes, because they have some iconic theater in the
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: mall or something.
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: Holy shit, random.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: It was held.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: It was held at the Dolby Theater at Ovation Hollywood.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: So let's look up what is Ovation hollyword?
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, is it like some niche theater?
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Shut the fuck up. It's a shopping center.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: The Oscars is held at a shopping center. This is
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: given sane.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: When they do film premieres at Entertainment Quarter in more Park,
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: literally wow.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Or when they did the Freaky Friday when at Bondai
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Junction it was going to literally buy tampons.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: And I was like, and we heard screaming and we
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: were like, what's and.

  Speaker 6: It was like disco balls downstairs outside Woolies dancing. Meanwhile,
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: Lindsay lowhands and stairs, we were walking by them like Comet.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: Day.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so wild. So wow, that's my favorite thing I've
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: learned this week.
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's incredible, unbelievable.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like do they do that every year? That is wild?
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: I want to look up like Oscar fun facts. Now.

  Speaker 1: scene in that and Jack there's like a bit where

  Speaker 4: We wish that it would have been more, and there

  Speaker 1: Hope that he's really proud of himsel and he went
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: to in and out after I saw that, so cute.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what a beautiful man.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: Also, the Anna Winter Devil Wears prior to moment with
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: Anne Hathaway, Yeah, that was another really iconic.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Moment Andy on stage. Yeah did you call it Andy
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: or Emily? Yeah? Yeah, what do you think of my dress?
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: And the numinies are?
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I thought that was really good because when The Devil
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Wears Priora came out, didn't Anna Winter not really give
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: it any gas or attention. I thought she was at
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the time was a little bit like, huh, well, Anna
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Wintle can do whatever she wants.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: She's chic not chunk, so.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: True that she kind of didn't really give it much
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: attention at the time, whereas now I think she's kind
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: of embraced the Devil Wears Prator for what it is
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: a little bit more. So I thought that was really
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: cool to see her like playing a little bit more exactly.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, in the role, because Miranda Priestley is like probably
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: one of the most beloved antagonists in modern movie history.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: So I'm sure when it first came out she would
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: have been like, oh my god, how are people gonna
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: see this perception of me? But really, like people think
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: that she's quite iconic, yeah kind of people.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: I love her.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: She's the best boss bitch.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Well, moving on, soal, what's the tea?
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: The tea is? Is retail dying?
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: I'm closing a big question here, and I've got a
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: few examples to bring in, but one of the more
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: recent ones is that Glue Store will either shut or
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: sell the remaining of its sixteen stores before the end
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: of the financial year in twenty twenty six.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: There's only sixteen left.
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So a few weeks ago, at the end of February,
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: the owner Accent Group announced to the ASX that it
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: will shut or sell its sixteen stores by.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: July twenty twenty six.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: This follows an eight point four million six month loss
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: and the closure of seventeen Glue stores in mid twenty
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: twenty four. So I think maybe that's what we're thinking
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: as well, because I was like, no, there were heats more,
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: there's a Clue stores, But I'm like nay, But I'm like,
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: now that I think about it, some of the Glue
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: stores I used to frequent aka Broadway Shopping Center like
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: that hasn't been around for a long time. So yeah,
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: maybe there is only sixteen left. So Axan Group also
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: operates athletes for Platypus and Hype DC, as well as
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Sketches and Vans, so they do own a lot of
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: different brands. But this is a trend that we've seen
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: with a bunch of iconic retailers in Australia over the
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: last few years.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Quick Q, So we'll Glue be shutting its stores but
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: remaining online.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, interesting.
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So I'll be interested to see how long, yeah,
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: that lasts and if they are just really going to
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: focus on their e comm or you know, if they'll
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: shut them down and then maybe reopen like some flagship
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: stores in some of like the.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Bigger areas, or what they'll do.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: But yeah, this is a trend that we've seen with
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: a bunch of iconic Australian retailers over the last couple
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: of years. There's so many, but a handful that I
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: could think of was in March last year, Jean's West close.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: All of its brick and mortar stores.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: Miller's and nony B also shut in January twenty twenty five,
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: Stack's also shut a number of their physical stores to
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: reprioritize their e comm offering, and Sephora has also experienced
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: a seventy eight million dollar loss in Australia according to
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: the Australians.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: So we've seen it launch, yeah, yeah.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: So we've seen a few different Australian retailers kind of
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: struggling over the last couple of years. And I was
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: looking into this and it's apparently something that has been
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: described as the retail apocalypse, which is the ongoing decline
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: of brick and mortar stores since the twenty tens, speaking
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: of twenty sixteen roback and the increase in online shopping
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: since that time, which I think makes sense as well,
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: because we also saw that the Iconic, which is an
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: entirely e comm brand right turned its first profit after
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: fifteen years of business. So the Iconic posted a one
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: point nine million net profit into twenty twenty five, swinging
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: from a twenty point seven million loss in twenty twenty
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: four and nearly a forty eight million dollar loss in
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty three, which I thought.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Was really really interesting.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: But I also wanted to throw it to you guys, like,
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: do you ever shop in store?
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: I do sometimes if I want to see the sizing, Yeah,
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: if I haven't shopped from the brand before. And I
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: also sometimes like the in store experience a more than
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: shopping online. Also, you get it instantly versus exactly waiting.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: But I don't know, what do you think?
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: I think?
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: My initial thought when we were talking about this earlier
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: this week was if, in like, if retail stores become
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: like a moot point and don't exist, what will that
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: mean for quality? So, if I can't go into a
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: store and check quality, feel the fabric of an item,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: feel the make, see how it looks on my body,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: how will that then affect the quality standard that brands
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: have to live up to If my first impression of
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: it is when I've actually bought it, And also, with
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: so many brands having different returns policies online, what's going
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: to happen when the only way we can buy things
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: is through a computer, because I feel like we would.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: My gut says that, like the quality of items is
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: going to go down because brands don't have to then
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: actually sell to you anymore like I can give you.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: And with so many brands now using AI in imagery online,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: there's not actually a fucking garment like.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Actual interaction between me and a garment that I'm purchasing.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: So I'm kind of sad about this. But I think
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: what's interesting is the flip so we've seen like mortar
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: and Pestle stores. No, that's not it.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: I'm never calling it anything else now. That is so icony.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: That is amazing. That is amazing.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: Did I also think it was Pestel So I'm going
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: through something myself?
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Well, so much from.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Because it says brick and mortar and a mortar and
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: pestl is okay?
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: Because I also then after we stopped laughing, I was like,
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: but wait, she's.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Right, Who's wrong?
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: That's not the right one? Fuck my life.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Anyway, that was incredible.
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: I think we're seeing this flip from brick and is
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: it more retail stores physical retail stores that like haven't
• 36:09
  Speaker 8: been able to adapt to the online landscape, whereas.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: E comm stores that started as e comm stores are
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: now bringing.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: Actual physical stores.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: So like, for example, Dish, they have been rolling out stores.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: And Dish actually started as like a Princess Poly and
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: like a show Po and then they had this massive rebrand.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Very like Princess Poly Showpo, very like like affordable e
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: comm fast fashion vibes, and then they rebranded to be
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: like more mid tier and high level. And then we
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: also see now Princess Polly has started opening physical stores.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: They have a store at Bondi Junction, and I've also
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: saw this week that Birge Girl is opening a store
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: in Bondai.
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: Well, I went, I've been too the Virgio at Ringa Mall. Yeah,
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: and I really like it because I didn't know, especially
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: those sequeny tops, you don't know what they're going to
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: look like until you try the ones. It was great
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: that you could go in store exactly a vertu.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: So wow.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So we're seeing this thing where brands that haven't
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: necessarily adapted to the online landscape like kind of fall
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: and across the board, like their online sales and their
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: physical store sales, whereas e comm brands that have started
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: online and now branching into physical stores, and that hasn't
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: always worked, as we know with you know, Matilda and Stacks,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: how she wanted to bring it back to what their
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: core was. But I also do think as well, like
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: when we think of a brand that is so physical
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: in retail, is what jumps into my mind is Kmart.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and how cam Art.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Has been always a retail store and never really an
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: online e comm place to shop.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: However, with its like real estate that it.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Owns on TikTok and kmart halls and come with me
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: to Kmart. And also just the leveling up of their
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: target audience, like they have just boomed recently, Like I
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: don't know if you guys have seen even this year,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: like k Mart's just dropped this new range of like
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: jackets for autumn with like a fake Swede jacket which
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: is like really nice, like a gray Bomber jacket.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: The denim the denim well.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like a denim set and it's so good. And
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: I think they have also tried to lean into within
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: some of their products, aligning with you know, more natural
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: fabrics and not across the entire board, but it also
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: you know, sits at an affordable price point that it's
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: a very very weird landscape at the moment.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like you can't paint the whole space with
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: the same brush because some places are still booming.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: And another place.
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: Where we do a lot of in store shopping still
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: is grocery shopping, which I thought was really interesting as well.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: So eighty order and peel, Yeah, exactly, eighty six percent
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: of Australians still do their grocery shopping in store and
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: the main reason for this is quality control. So with
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: three and four wanting to select their own produce and
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: two and five wanting to select the best expiry dates,
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, so, why don't we have this same
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: philosophy with you know, like fashion, beauty tech or home
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: weares for example, Because yes, I know, like choosing a
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: good avocado verse like picking a top. Yes, it's different,
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: but still this quality control that goes into it. Like
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: you said, you can't even if you can read the
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: fabric compositions on a website, you can't feel the material.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: You can't see how it looks until you actually order
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: it and get it. To you, which is probably why
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: according to DHL, the majority of shoppers return thirty percent
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: of their online purchases. Yeah, so that was a lot
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: higher than I thought. I'm like, that's one in three
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: purchases you're sending back that you order online because, like
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: you were saying, Gabby, like another big perk of shopping
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: in stores that you get it straight away right, whereas
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: you have to wait for the for the delivery to
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: come and then there's the whole process of sending it back.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: And a lot of brands.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: Previously had prioritized free returns right to make that easier
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: for people. But apparently that's a trend that we're going
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: to see potentially decreasing in Australia over the next couple
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: of years. So according to ship At, the percentage of
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: Australian retailers offing free online returns has dropped from forty
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: nine percent in twenty eighteen to fourteen percent in twenty
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: twenty five. So brands are focusing on friction less returns
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: rather than free returns. And listen, I'm like, as a consumer,
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: I'm like, that's annoying for me, right, But then when
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: I read this article, a link in the show notes
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: from Broadsheet who were sort of explain why this.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Trend has been happening, and maybe this isn't.
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: Necessarily a bad thing, because I do think it could
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: potentially promote more mindful spending. If you think about like
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to pay money to send this back.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: I don't see it as as much of a like
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: disposable thing, right because it is like a huge cost
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: on businesses to cover the cost of returns. But also
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: I saw a report from Good three sixty and they
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: estimated that thirty percent of clothing that's returned isn't resold,
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: so a lot of it ends up in landfill.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: I actually saw, do you guys fell her Lily Brown.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: She has her brand Chill, Yeah, And she showed these
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: pajamas that had been sent back to their brand, and
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: they had like very evidently been like worn and washed
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: and sent back. She showed like the peg marks on
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: the pajamas and then the tag had been like sewed
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: back on, like it had been ripped off, and they
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: got like twine or like string and sewed the string
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: back onto it.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: And it was like crazy that I'm not surprised by that.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: You see so many people also who do.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: Like dress hiring businesses. Yeah, when they get dresses back
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: and they're like cooked.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: So I'm like, I wonder if we're going to see
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: the pendulum swing at some point, because you know, like
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: we said, there are so many positives to shopping online,
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: but also so many shopping in store as well, like
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: that quality control, like being able to get the product
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: that you want straight away, and then also the returns, Like, yeah,
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: I'll be interested to see if the pendulum does or
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: can swing back, because obviously a huge part of this
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: conversation is like the cost of living increases because all
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: of the things that we're facing as individuals, like the
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: increased costs of utilities and rent and you know, wages
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: for them, the cost of product, et cetera. It's all
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: going up. So there's also that to consider as well.
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: But I'm kind of sad about it because I'm like
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: I do and is it just the nostalgia thing playing
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: in loved.
• 43:15
  Speaker 7: Going like on a Saturday, do you want to just
• 43:17
  Speaker 7: go out the shop and and just like that was
• 43:20
  Speaker 7: the activity walking around shot and even just that looks nice,
• 43:26
  Speaker 7: I love this and then putting it back Yes, yeah,
• 43:28
  Speaker 7: I want its art form it really is.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: And I wanted to ask.
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: You guys, are there any like in store shopping experiences
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: that you really really miss that you'd want to bring back? Oh, like,
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: for example, like video Easy.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: Ah, I loved the DVD store.
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: I was gonna ask you, Gabby, if that was something
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: that you got to experience.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, that was major.
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: It was my favorite thing to do was going to
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: the DVD store and he just walked through the aisles
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: and pull out different movies.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, the best.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: I got Aquamarine from the DVD store and it was
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: when it like just came out and it was one
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: of those like one night ones where you got it
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: and then you had to take it back the next day.
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like the three time Hot the Hot release, Yeah,
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: oh wow.
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: I watched it three times because I was like, I've
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: got this for one night.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: I've got to get as much like Kenny and I
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: had a portable DVD.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Player same, Yes, so good. Yeah, And it was like
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: I think could take off if you.
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: Want to seriously, but yeah, that was the best.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: I do also think like the magic of the movies
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: has lost a little bit of its sparkle. The like
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Lollies game, Why am I paying eight dollars for a
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: bag of lollies or like twelve dollars for a couple
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: of lollies that's been sitting there for about four and
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: a half weeks. Yeah, I'm like gonna break I'm literally
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: going to break a tooth on one of those like
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: sour coke bottles. Literally they have been fossilized, speaking of
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: two thousand and six, Yeah, that's how long they've been there.
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: They were also there when Aquamarine came out. No, that's
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: so true.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: You guys might be too for this.
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: But one of my favorites was Sanity, Yeah back in
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: the day, which was the CD store, right, And one
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: of my favorite things about that in story experience is
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: that so you could buy singles, right, So it would
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: just be a CD that would have like one single
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: on it and then it might have like three remixes
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: and maybe a B side if you were lucky. But
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: they had a wall where you could go and listen
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: the headphone to the albums and like it was honestly amazing,
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: especially because back in the day you would have to
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: listen to the radio or watch rage or video hits
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: to like hear your favorite song. If you didn't have
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: the CD, so it would be like the waiting game.
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: So if you didn't own the CD, going to the
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: mall and going to sanity and being like, I can
