• 0:04
  Speaker 1: club on nine four seven.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Last week, we're having a conversation about you guys going
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: to hotels and not minding that the hotel doesn't kill
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: your room as long as they give you dinner in
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: the house. And during that conversation, this sidebar conversation happened.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Do you also live with your suitcase open?
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: No?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I literally unpacked, really as I get to unpack everything.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: You know, there's the whole other conversation one day, right, yeah,
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: people who unpack their actual suitcases and those who choose
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: to live from their suitcase.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: There's a wardrobe in the hotel room. Why do you
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: think they put it there?
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: One day is one day and that day is today.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Raw call.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: We need you guys in two lines, single foul, one
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: behind the other. These lines. On this side the people
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: who get to a hotel and they unpack immediately, and
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: then on this side the people who live out of
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: their bags like they are a bunch of gypsies.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: That's me. I don't unpack because I'm paranoid about the
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: hotel catching fire and me having to flee at a
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: moment's notice. You want to take your clothes yes, because
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: think about it, and now you're not even in your
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: best You're just in your pjs running out onto the streets.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm Schlanga or wherever.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: But wait, okay, so you open and you at least
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: take out your shoes.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Well, yes, the ones I'm wearing on the day, and
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: then they go back into the suitcase the next day
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: when I wear a different pair. Now, because when I pack,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: what needs to happen is, let's say, if we're doing
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: four days in Cape Town, I'll have six out for choices,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: not all packed according to what I'm likely to wear
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: on which day, how and whatever.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: My greatest disappointment is when I get to a hotel
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: room and it's not big enough for my big suitcase
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to be open and lie on.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: The floor for the whole stay, for the whole stay
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: that and then you have to squeeze past it the
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: whole time.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: You one of those people who like two double beds.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: One is your wardrobe and the one that's it. You know,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: there's a wardrobe, you know, there's those little things where
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: you can put your bag on, but it doesn't allow
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: you to have an open bag.
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: No, don't you worry that your clothes are gonna get
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: so creased, like you've got to hang your shirts.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: You gotta hang.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: No, but now you miss it there earning because you
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: were too lazy to unpack your bag. You absolutely not
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: unpack your bag. You can't see your clothes. I know
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: what I packed. What do you need to see? You
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: packed this bag?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: No jackets, suits, tuxedos.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I traveler the steamer, Cindy, you've seen me every day.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Does it look like I'm worried about priests anything?
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: It's just so true to ask. But don't you just
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: want to take it out so that it's not a hacket.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: You don't have to No, I take it back.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: It's franky.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: You don't have to roll all the other clothes trying
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: to look for what like that pair of socks.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: But isn't it easier to pack your clothes to leave
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: the hotel if everything comes out the bag and then
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: you repack.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: As it comes off, it goes back into the suitcase.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, No, as it comes off, it goes next to
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the suitcase, because that's the way you know what's dirty
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and what's clean.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: This is where I was going. Then do you you
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: have compartments that say this is dirty, and that's clean because.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I remember the end of the trip, everything's gonna get
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: washed anyway.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: But now you you are on day two and you
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: take your clothes off and you're putting them back into
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: a suitcase that has got day three worth of clothing
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: and that's clean, and you're putting in dirty clothes.
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: How much do people stink you're not washing everything. When
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: you get back from holiday, the stuff that still clean
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: goes back into the carver.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: But no, guys, you don't have to. You didn't wear it.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Now you've got to watch and now what Now I
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: must might travel to Toronto, I must come back and
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: they have Toronto clothes.

• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Which line are you joining the unpackers? On the non unpackers?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: The rule is if you are at a hotel for
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: three nights or more, you the wardrobe finish.
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: If I'm there for a day, honey, I'm staying in
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: my little suitcase.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: There's no need for me to unpack and peck. I
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: do not unpack my suitcase. I don't. I feel like
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: it's a lot of work. Packing it for the vacation
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: was a lot of work. So I'm not going to
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: get to the hotel and unpack, only for me to
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: pack again.
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: If I travel alone or with the boys, I live
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: out of a suitcase. I only do that when my
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: wife forces me to do it. Won't travel as a family.
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: Good woman, good woman.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I wonder what hotel stuff think of us?
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: Know?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: What is what?
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: What?
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: What does the behavior tell them? What does the behavior
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: inform them about us? That whether you unpack or you don't.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, they are lovely because if you if my suitcase
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: is open, then they'll often and it's a little bit Macie,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: then they will repack it and close it for me.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: Really, yes, they're very love Now.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: People just work around it, like if you left the
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: shoe there, they'll they'll pick the shoe up and clean
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: and the shoe and put the shoe right.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Back where you live. Oh yeah, generally quite nice.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: No, I find they generally put things back, well not back,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: but they put them in an orderly place.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Renae in Santin. What are you thinking?
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: I fit in both categories. Okay, So when I travel
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: overseas to America or the US, I have hectic business schedules.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: I stay one night in this hotel, two nights in
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: that hotel, with a few one hundred kilometers in between.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: If I pack it in a cupboard, it's not the
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: first time I would forget my clothes or other stuff.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Same goes with putting stuff in the safe. So when
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: I go on a family holiday and the missus is
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: in charge and we in a hotel for a week
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: or two weeks, yeah, then we can pack it in
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: a cupboard. But when I travel by myself on business
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: hectic schedule, I don't put it in a cupboard because
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: I'm going to lose my clothes.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: So even if you're there, let's say you're in a
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: city for two nights on business, you weren't unpacked, not
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: at all, because.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: It's it's a hectic schedule to the hotel and climbing
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: the car to the next meeting.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Let me ask. So let's say you are in a
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: hotel for two three nights and you didn't unpack. You
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: just looked out of your suitcase. When it is time
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: to packed, do you then take everything out and repack
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: it nicely or do you just stuff the clothes you
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: wore on top of the clean clothes and then like
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: sit on your bag to close it, Because that's another thing.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: When things are well packed, your bag travels better.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true. So I have a pretty big suitcase.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: I have plastic bags, so dirty clothes go in the
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: one side in the plastic bag, and when I'm in
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: a hotel for two nights, say three four days into
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: the trip, then I'll wash the clothes in the hotel
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: iron or not iron, and then go the next meeting.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, because I think what we have to
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: explain to the ladies quickly, because you and I understand this.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: So you've got a big suitcase, but you're not filling
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: it because it's not a target, right, it's not a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: target to see how full you can make a suitcase.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Just pack what you need and the rest of the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: space is used for the dirty things in between, so
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you don't have to.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: Ever sit on it.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: That's very pointed clarification, Frankie, are you drawing from personal experience?
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: But I'm just saying I've seen people I've seen. I'm
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: just I've seen people travel, and I'm just saying that
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the suitcase is you don't have to you don't have
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to fill it.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Chalk is on you, Frankie. It's never me, because I
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: buy another suitcase wherever I am so that I don't
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: have to stand on the suitcase. So you're obviously not
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: talking about me. I thought those warldrops were there for
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the esthetic, you know, just for vibes. I don't know
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: you guys actually use them. Really, it's tedious having to pay.
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: When you get to the whool, you must pack again.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: On this one.
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: You know what you've packed in your bag, so the
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: only thing that gets unpacked is your toilet, trees and
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: your shoes.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Generally, there are these two types of people and then
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: they end up marrying each other. I'm so glad we
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: are in agreement about the shoes, though.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: Take the shoes out, Take the shoes out.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Please take your shoes out.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: No, I mean I it depends on it really depends
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: some time.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I'm waiting for you to have a point of view
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: over something when you only pack one pair of shoes.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: No, but that's exactly what I was going to say.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I generally will, but you will take if you're going
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: on holiday, like a pair of sneakers maybe and maybe
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: some flops, right if you're going to the beach, maybe
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: a pair of nicer shoes in case.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: In case the president calls you for dinner.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: That's it.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: In case you've got to join the captain for dinner
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: on the on the love boat. I don't know so,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: but those shoes are the ones that just stay there.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Keke and Kensington.
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: Good morning, Cake, good morning and a little.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: How are you are fantastic?
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: How are you?
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: I'm great?
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Thanks?
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: So which one are you a packer and unpecker?
• 9:51
  Speaker 9: I peck, I'm a packer. I need to get my chilipy.
• 9:54
  Speaker 9: I need my chanceer, I need everything for my skin,
• 9:57
  Speaker 9: I need my flops. I need to untut my heels
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: because also stay it damaged, including sneakers.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, and sometimes I'm scared, like if you keep your
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: heels close to a bag that is being rammaged every
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: now and then, your heels are gonna tear through your clothes.
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: It's trying to stand like, don't be looking up, get kicken,
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: bob is it's on and like no, we can't do that.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Unpack your stuff, guys, protect your clothes. I mean, I'm
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: pretty sure you've got a very nice bag and you
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: love this bag and you're putting it to work, but
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: you also paid for it. Out that comes with a closet.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: You.
• 10:31
  Speaker 9: It helps to settle, to settle your mind. You need
• 10:34
  Speaker 9: to know what you what you're going to wear, how
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: it looks like, if you need to iron it, you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: just be organized?
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Is it because you pack multiple possibilities for outfits?
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: Is that why?
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: So it's easier if you see them in the carbine
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: than when they're in your suitcase.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: Is that not the reason? Mainly?
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: That's part of the reason.
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: Yes, But let's just be organized. We can't wake up
• 10:56
  Speaker 9: as if we we didn't line, we didn't know that
• 10:59
  Speaker 9: we were Yeah, no, thanky.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Also we have look books.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: Thank what does say you? Guys? Complicated?
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I pack a few shorts and a T shirt and
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: then whichever comes out first, That's what I'm wearing.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Lucia says she does not unpack, but she has a system. Lucia,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: is this the sudoko method that I've seen the TikTokers
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: talk about?
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: Hi Ahi? So I just unpacked, but like you said,
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: I have a system. So shoes go on the compartment
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: that has the zips. That's why I put all my shoes.
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: And then the other side that you clip on, that's
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: why I put all my clothes. And then the dirty
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: clothes go with the shoes. So every day I undress,
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: the dirty clothes go with the shoes. I don't unpack
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: the shoes. Don't want to lose anything. I don't want
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: to blame hotel staff. Then I lot something, so dirty
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: clothes go with the shoes, and the lady staff goes.
• 11:58
  Speaker 9: In that zipper section with the with the little on
• 12:01
  Speaker 9: the side.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: The mesh thing.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, the stratchy thing that you pulling, you put you
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: underwear in there, okay. And then when you are packing
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: from home, are you packing the from downwards up? If
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: that makes sense? So downwards are the clothes that you
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: plan to wear last, and then you go as you
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: pack up, up up, so that when you get to
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: your destination, because you're not unpacking, you're wearing clothes from
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: the top down.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: Well, I'll pack them based on what I think I'll
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: weaar first, and then obviously as I go through the
• 12:34
  Speaker 8: day of the week or however long I'm Therefore, then
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: I'll just keep going down the.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Responsibles that I've packed, but I do not unpack.
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: I love you, dirty cloth, go with the shoes, they're
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: dirty already your system.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Can I just ask one more thing before I get converted?
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: So your jackets and your suits and your dresses that
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: need to be hanging, do you at least free them?
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: So if it's winter and I'm took like a very
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: long coat, doesn't make sense to keep in the bag,
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: So that I'll put my normal every day outfits top, skirts,
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: pants those days in the bags.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, Now, then I can vibe with your system.
