<v Speaker 1>Jeremy, Katie and Josh in the morning.
<v Speaker 2>Nickie, right, you gotta tell me about this Netflix show
<v Speaker 2>you were watching last night.
<v Speaker 1>You started talking about it off the I I was like,
<v Speaker 1>WHOA pump the brake?
<v Speaker 3>Do you mean the documentary Buy Now on Netflix?
<v Speaker 1>That what it was?
<v Speaker 3>It is something I tell you what. It's all about
<v Speaker 3>consumerism and how we are just getting worse at it,
<v Speaker 3>like you should. We should not be consuming as many
<v Speaker 3>things as we are. Let's just put it that way.
<v Speaker 3>As far as buying things, I know exactly like dishes.
<v Speaker 3>I don't think I need another coffee mug. But it
<v Speaker 3>was just fascinating because they had, first of all, like
<v Speaker 3>a former CEO of a very well known shoe company,
<v Speaker 3>and he's all up there talking about how, yeah, like
<v Speaker 3>they will have certain tricks and things for you to
<v Speaker 3>buy things. I mean, like there's people who get trained
<v Speaker 3>on that, like all the way down to websites and
<v Speaker 3>how people are on websites buying things. Like for instance,
<v Speaker 3>they'll have one item like say they have a phone
<v Speaker 3>up there that you can buy, right, They'll have the
<v Speaker 3>phone listed six different times with different fonts and different
<v Speaker 3>ways that it appears on the website. They'll keep track
<v Speaker 3>of which one of those versions makes the most money
<v Speaker 3>and then they'll use.
<v Speaker 1>That to sell that product.
<v Speaker 3>So everything I mean, down to the buy now button
<v Speaker 3>is very calculated.
<v Speaker 1>But it goes beyond.
<v Speaker 3>That because it's like talking about some of these higher
<v Speaker 3>end items, like when you talk about the luxury brands
<v Speaker 3>and how they you know, they'll make luggage, they'll make
<v Speaker 3>shoes and purses. Just think of all the big brands
<v Speaker 3>out there right. Well, if one of those purses, say,
<v Speaker 3>goes out of style, or maybe the season comes and
<v Speaker 3>goes and they have a surplus of this certain purse
<v Speaker 3>or item, the people from this big luxury brand company
<v Speaker 3>will destroy it, like so nobody can get their hands
<v Speaker 3>on it and sell it to the black market, sell
<v Speaker 3>it on the black market for a profit, and diminish
<v Speaker 3>the brand.
<v Speaker 1>So all of this into place, but.
<v Speaker 3>They will absolutely destroy a huge wabrow into the landfills. No,
<v Speaker 3>nobody likes it, and so this whole process of it
<v Speaker 3>is just mind blowing. No, that's the thing is if
<v Speaker 3>you recycle it, then you can take the goods and
<v Speaker 3>people that then you risk somebody selling it in the
<v Speaker 3>recycling center. No, but that's what they're saying they can't
<v Speaker 3>trust anybody. So that's what they've come to learn. They
<v Speaker 3>can't trust anybody, so they have to destroy it. And
<v Speaker 3>it goes beyond that as well. I mean, when you
<v Speaker 3>think about this stat kind of really, I was like,
<v Speaker 3>whoa when it comes to like fashion seasons, right, like
<v Speaker 3>you have the New York Fashion Show and the one
<v Speaker 3>over in Paris and blah blah blah. While those are seasons, right,
<v Speaker 3>so you have the Fall fashion show each season, these
<v Speaker 3>big name designers are putting out pieces into the world, right,
<v Speaker 3>And back in the day, it used to be like
<v Speaker 3>five hundred to one thousand pieces of clothing and shoes
<v Speaker 3>and different products that they would put out into the
<v Speaker 3>world each season. Well that was pretty you know, sustainable,
<v Speaker 3>like we could deal with that. But now you have
<v Speaker 3>companies like Sheen, right, and they're putting out millions of
<v Speaker 3>pieces TEAMU into our world. And they are just crap pieces,
<v Speaker 3>a lot of them, you know. So it's like you'll
<v Speaker 3>wear them for a week and then they'll throw them
<v Speaker 3>away or donate them to thrift stores which will then
<v Speaker 3>throw them away and end up in the landfill.
<v Speaker 1>And so it's just like watching it is fascinating.
<v Speaker 3>Really, It truly made me rethink my you know, the
<v Speaker 3>things that I buy and why buy them and if
<v Speaker 3>I truly need something, and you know this next generation.
<v Speaker 3>My daughter is extremely guilty of the Amazon purchases.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, so am I. She'll go home and they'll be.
<v Speaker 3>Twenty boxes piled up outside her house.
<v Speaker 1>Guilty, you know.
<v Speaker 2>And I told you I'm like on a first name
<v Speaker 2>basis almost with the people at the UPS store.
<v Speaker 1>Hey, back again.
<v Speaker 3>And that's what they're saying is like so many people
<v Speaker 3>are in this lifestyle.
<v Speaker 1>It want it, you have it.
<v Speaker 2>And it's too easy now with the one click buying
<v Speaker 2>or just throwing your card and you just it's so
<v Speaker 2>easy to spend money, they say. If you want to
<v Speaker 2>stop spending money and stop buying stuff, carry a way
<v Speaker 2>to cash with you, Yeah, in your poet you know,
<v Speaker 2>and so you know, like you, it's it's harder to
<v Speaker 2>see that money physically leave your hand exactly then just
<v Speaker 2>get thrown onto a credit card or some sort of
<v Speaker 2>online purchase somewhere with Apple pay or something. Carry the
<v Speaker 2>stack of cash with you.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And it is fascinating, honestly, like seeing it's a
<v Speaker 3>great argument to have whether or not buying things consistently,
<v Speaker 3>Like say you are a person who solely makes your
<v Speaker 3>purchases online, you know, compare that to somebody like me
<v Speaker 3>who goes out and buys things like tangibly, like I'm
<v Speaker 3>actually buying things personally. You know, Like that's a great
<v Speaker 3>argument to have, Like which one's worse for you?
<v Speaker 1>Here's uh, Christine, Hi, Christine, you're upright and early this morning.
<v Speaker 4>I know I am the food industry. We'll do that too,
<v Speaker 4>the food industry.
<v Speaker 2>So is it relatable in the food industry what Katie's
<v Speaker 2>talking about?
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to say, so, I grow grocery stars just
<v Speaker 4>based off of like marketing and how they get you
<v Speaker 4>to buy certain products. The netting that comes around, like
<v Speaker 4>the oranges, the lemons, the limes, the avocado. They strategically
<v Speaker 4>take the color to match the fruit, to make the
<v Speaker 4>fruit look more vibrant and appealing, so then you're more
<v Speaker 4>likely to buy it in bolt even though you probably
<v Speaker 4>only need two or three lemons and the other ones are.
<v Speaker 2>Gonna go Holy crap, I've never thought about that. The
<v Speaker 2>avocados are like green, it's a green bag.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, what I just wanted to put that out there
<v Speaker 4>as well, based off of you know, waste and everything
<v Speaker 4>like that. You never need that many things.
<v Speaker 3>And it's funny because, like we know about the impulse
<v Speaker 3>spies by the cash register. They told us about those,
<v Speaker 3>and honestly, like when I'm up there, I'm like, I'm
<v Speaker 3>not gonna do it.
<v Speaker 1>Don't you be impulsive snickers bar.
<v Speaker 3>I didn't even know about the produce.
<v Speaker 1>It's funny how much goes into that.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you start looking at the back end
<v Speaker 2>of stuff, like even how the stores laid out, the
<v Speaker 2>structure of the eye, the signage, the smells, like it
<v Speaker 2>all plays into marketing.
<v Speaker 4>Exactly know what they're doing.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're all being manipulated, Christine.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but surely have a great morning guys, you.
<v Speaker 1>As well take care of Well. That was nice for
<v Speaker 1>her to call. Yeah, it's pretty much. It's all disgusting,
<v Speaker 1>isn't it.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, And again, if you want to dive deep
<v Speaker 3>into it, it's called Buy Now on Netflix.
<v Speaker 1>It's worth a watch.
<v Speaker 2>As I wandered in Nicole's yesterday because they had an
<v Speaker 2>additional fifty percent off their clearance yesterday, and I had
<v Speaker 2>so many boxes of shoes stacked up, I had to
<v Speaker 2>like lean to the side.
<v Speaker 1>As I walked out, the doors had about six boxes
<v Speaker 1>of shoes because for you though, how many feet do
<v Speaker 1>you have?
<v Speaker 3>Jeremy too, this too, but it was fifty an additional fifty.
<v Speaker 3>Can you know?
<v Speaker 1>Can I pass up
