Seemyshell (00:01.01)
Welcome to the official Munzee Podcast.

Rob Vardeman (00:03.474)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Muncie.

Seemyshell (00:07.35)
And I'm Craig also known as Seemyshell. I'm here to explore the world of Munzee from within.

Rob Vardeman (00:12.254)
Each week we'll delve into Munzee's mysteries, discover treasures, and inform players from around the world just what's coming your way.

Seemyshell (00:18.91)
So sit back, relaxes today. We chat about the week that was as we always do some hair, hairy nails, some stamps, the North and South pole, and also a very special question for Rob and ending as always Rob with the Munzee tip of the week. G'day mate, how are you this week? Good mate. Good. I love the way you sort of re-interact my g'day. That's, you actually starting to sound a little bit Australian, but not really. Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (00:26.443)
Hehehe

Rob Vardeman (00:36.79)
G'day! Hey, I'm doing great! How are you doing this week?

Rob Vardeman (00:46.4)
Alright, good day! I try and do the English greetings over here so when I'm talking to you it needs to be an Aussie greeting.

Seemyshell (00:48.455)
It's an American Australian.

Seemyshell (00:56.902)
What are the English greetings then? What do they say? A good day, sir. A good day to you. No, they don't say howdy, howdy.

Rob Vardeman (01:00.374)
Well, they don't say howdy, I can tell you that much. No, it's not howdy. Um, hiya, hiya. Yeah, mm-hmm. Yeah.

Seemyshell (01:07.382)
higher? Higher? Ah, very good, very good. Well, what have you been up to this week, mate? Anyway, the week that was, what have you been doing?

Rob Vardeman (01:14.686)
Well, I've been I've been doing quite a few things actually, just enjoying things trying to finish up the year getting ready for January. And those big Florida events that you and I are going to. excited about that. But we're going to get to that in a bit. But what I did that was most exciting, I think this week is that I listened to you on the Munzee Maniacs podcast and

Seemyshell (01:18.742)
Mm.

Seemyshell (01:30.242)
Oh, yes.

Yeah.

Seemyshell (01:39.018)
No.

Rob Vardeman (01:43.29)
I laughed quite a bit and I also went quite a bit you had a good time.

Seemyshell (01:49.938)
Yes. Yes, I did. And I'll say this as well. Put it out there. I did have a great time on the Munzee Maniacs podcast. If you didn't listen to it, I suggest you find it for yourself. It's on the Munzee water cooler. It's out there as well. The Munzee Maniacs podcast and have a listen to the, the last episode itself. Kevin, Kevin's a great guy. You know, he's, he was so chilled, relaxed and laid back and whatnot. Sarah was great, except Sarah can't get a really a word in edge ways. I'll say that.

Rob Vardeman (02:11.617)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (02:15.994)
PJ, however, PJ sort of leads the way when it comes to the voice. But in saying that too, I did have fun with PJ and, uh, you know what? He's a, I will say this. He's a good sport. He took it on the chin, you know? So. Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (02:26.87)
He is a good sport. I could hear it in his voice. He did laugh. He tries to battle back some and that's great. But yes, lots of, oh, you got him again moments from me as I was listening. Very entertaining. Yeah, poor PJ. I'm neutral, me and Kevin, me and Kevin are neutral.

Seemyshell (02:32.113)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (02:39.19)
Bye now.

Poor, poor, poor PJ, but I'm still team Sarah. Just saying, just saying. This is true. Well, mate, I actually had a little bit of a party myself because last Friday I didn't realize, I was on a trip to Pennsylvania, just a drive trip. I wasn't driving, I was passenger. So I could cap and I was cap, cap. And I used one of...

Rob Vardeman (02:54.388)
Hmm?

Seemyshell (03:07.514)
Oh, what's his name? Carson, uh, Buckeye Kasha. I use one of his Munzee tips and tricks where he uses these filter and I filtered for those high, uh, high value, uh, Munzee virtual Munzees that he does. He did a filter like video out there a while ago. And, um, I saw that and I, and I copied what he did. And I'm telling you now it gets rid of all those, those cheap ass ones. I'm going to say the, you know, ones that the, it gets rid of the, what do they call the crossbows and the night goggles and all that from, from the

from the highways because you're doing, you know, you're doing 60, 70 mile an hour, 110 kilometers per hour for everyone else. You're not going to have time to cap everything. So just the high value ones, you know, the surprise wheels, the hotels, the motor, all those sort of ones along the, along the route. So I managed to get, I didn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. 110,000 points on the Friday, which put me in 50th position. And I got a badge for 50th. I know halfway badge.

Rob Vardeman (03:41.501)
Mm-hmm.

Rob Vardeman (04:02.27)
Ooh, that's a good one. That's a good one. Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (04:04.766)
halfway. But that's a cool one. That's a cool one. So I looked into the badges. And again, this is a Munzee podcast, I looked into the badges, I need a few more now, Rob, I'm addicted a little bit to these badges. I'll just say, I need to get the 100 the final spot badge, I need to get 4242 the meaning of life. And also 21 blackjack, the blackjack badge 21. I like those. There's other badges out there, of course. But they're the ones that I actually need. And I really, really want and you know, that's what am I going after now is those badges. So there you go.

Rob Vardeman (04:14.935)
Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (04:33.674)
It's fun to try and maneuver your way up and down the leaderboard. Some people just, you know, leave it to chance and other people really watch and they, and they sit and deploy last minute type stuff in order to move themselves up and down. And other people are doing the same thing. So good luck on those days.

Seemyshell (04:38.93)
Hmm. Yeah.

Seemyshell (04:45.643)
Yep.

Seemyshell (04:52.266)
Exactly. Mine was by chance though, the 50th, but it was totally by chance. I woke up the next morning and found out that I was 50. I went, Oh, look at this. And then, then I started to sort of dive a little bit deeper into these, these badges and what other badges are out there and whatnot too. So that was, that was really cool. The other thing, Rob, the other thing I did super chuckles, a, a good Munzee mate of mine, I'll say super chuckles. He private messaged me and said, Craig, I grabbed most. Did you, did you check the redeem store? And I went, no.

Rob Vardeman (04:58.882)
Hey.

Rob Vardeman (05:04.455)
Mm-hmm.

Rob Vardeman (05:10.409)
Mm-hmm.

Rob Vardeman (05:19.823)
Ha ha ha.

Seemyshell (05:21.054)
So I went and checked the redeem store. Cause I, again, I woke up to his message, checked the redeem store, Christmas mech on the redeem store, Rob. Wow. I know it reduced, it reduced cogs too. Look at that. Reduced cogs. Oh yeah, yeah. A discount of reduced cogs.

Rob Vardeman (05:23.83)
Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (05:27.91)
What? Yeah! Huh! Reduced cogs, I like that, yeah.

I thought I would have some good times with that one. So while I was early, knowing like I was doing it early in the morning here going, oh, man, Craig's going to wake up and he's going to see this stuff. And he's going to because you've said this is part of your daily routine and everything. I was like, he's going to be so excited to see that I've put some of these things in. So I'm just writing a little.

Seemyshell (05:51.203)
I'm sorry.

Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (05:59.562)
little jokes into the whole thing with like frogs to cogs be in the name of one of them and you know, flip your frogs into cogs and then turn your it's raining. It's raining deer or something like that. So yeah, just having these are the droids you're looking for, you know, that kind of stuff.

Seemyshell (06:04.226)
Yes. Yep.

Seemyshell (06:12.191)
Yes, yes, I saw that as well. I did.

Yes. Yeah. Well, finally enough though. And again, things you learn, right? So I then, of course I had to share my newfound, you know, information with my Munzee clan in my little Munzee group. So, uh, my Munzee, I messaged them straight away, bam. And obviously they were in Australia. So they wake up to the message. I didn't realize that some of my clan members don't actually, if you don't have access to these mech, then you won't see them in the redeem store, you know, you need to have the blueprints, you need to have done those previous, uh, secret Z ops or whatever needs to be done.

Rob Vardeman (06:27.21)
Of course.

Rob Vardeman (06:39.106)
Correct?

Seemyshell (06:45.862)
in order to actually have the blueprints. Therefore, then they show up because one didn't show up in my store. I still haven't got one. I'm missing one. I know, I'm missing one. I know, I know.

Rob Vardeman (06:49.982)
Mm-hmm. Oh. Oh, weird. Cybersource Rex, maybe? I wonder which one it was.

Seemyshell (06:57.71)
I'll have to have a check up after the episode. I'll check anyway. So, so yes, so there you go. Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (07:00.758)
Do that. Interesting. And that was a test for something that's coming up a bit later that we're going to talk about. So there you go. I'm really glad to know what you just said confirmed what I was testing. Yeah.

Seemyshell (07:12.518)
Oh, there you go. People see, this is, this is such a good, a good podcast, mate. I learned stuff, people out there, the listeners learn stuff and you, you use us. You use us to be your test bunnies. I like it. Yeah. Yes. Absolutely. In USA we had in California, Iowa, Arizona, Nebraska, Illinois, South Carolina, Minnesota, Colorado, Texas, and around the world, Rob, we had.

Rob Vardeman (07:23.742)
And in the nicest of ways, in the nicest of ways. Hey, let's talk about all of the events that happened last week, shall we?

Rob Vardeman (07:41.294)
Canada, Finland, two in the Netherlands, two in England, three in Germany, Australia, Denmark had two, Poland and Lithuania had two. Big, big weekend.

Seemyshell (07:51.582)

Seemyshell (08:21.424)
Yeah. I know. 500 XL is the team is there in Muncie name 500 XL is their Muncie name. So there you go. That was really cool. Yeah. Saturday we had T jacks at 489,000. We had Chech Roo at 482,000 really close. Uh, could, could I, I'm going to murder this one. Kid Okuri, Kid Okuri at 458,000 TC Guru 444,000.

Rob Vardeman (08:36.35)
Uh huh. Yeah.

Seemyshell (08:45.994)
And rounding out the five, we had Sivon Tim at 421,000. So you can kind of see that Saturday, where the big events were, like not in the US.

Rob Vardeman (08:55.422)
Yes. Yeah, you've got a Minnesota in there that won that's T jacks. He's in Minnesota. And then the rest of that is Europe that took Saturday. Now then Sunday you jump over and all the big points were in Minnesota. So somehow T jacks had his points going into it. But the Minnesota event, I got to say first, I saw Wayland's video and it was in the snow. And it was

Seemyshell (09:01.662)
Oh, he's been there. Yeah. Sunday.

Seemyshell (09:46.826)
Four million is on Sunday. And speaking of videos, I saw this just this morning. Actually, I saw Minnesota boys video. Uh, he was there as well. Cause so Minnesota boy and Wailin, they both do, uh, event videos, which are both cool. Uh, Minnesota boy, he walks around with his team, you see, and does the capping around the event, like whatever as well. And I saw Rob, I saw, I'm not sure. I'm sure I got the tip of the week a couple of weeks ago back from the Minnesota people, because I saw them.

Rob Vardeman (09:51.874)
Hmm. Oh.

Seemyshell (10:13.17)
They had gloves on and everything as well. And they were using a stylus to cap and tap and whatever else was. So yeah, I saw him with gloves on using a stylus and I went, Oh, look at that. The tip of the week, you know, obviously came from them. I'm just, I'm not saying they listened to me, but the, but it came from them. I dare say. So there you go. That's really cool. And that's the points that they got for millionaires on Sunday. The current events though, for this weekend coming up is in.

Rob Vardeman (10:28.662)
Yeah, well that's good.

Rob Vardeman (10:56.194)
Yes, and they the double points this weekend are on greenies, tempverts, cards, jewels, and gaming types. And that's for the mailbox owner owners. And a special reminder, the jewels and the gaming that includes physical and virtual types. We don't always write that but it's the category is doubled. Yeah, so physical and virtual.

Seemyshell (11:08.116)

Seemyshell (11:14.586)
Oh, so both. Yeah. Right. There you go. So get out there either physically or virtually get out. Well, don't get out there virtually. You know what I'm saying? Um, but yeah, you can cap the physically, you can cap the, the jewels and the gaming points and get double points if you are an animal box owner, meanwhile, we're going to move on to the first possible mega event in 2024 coming up. Rob, big things have happened this week. They've I've reached out. I've reached out to, uh, to the.

Rob Vardeman (11:24.182)
Hmm. There you go. Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (11:39.331)
big.

Seemyshell (11:42.438)
some of the runners of the events themselves, because the there's different events have different organizers to see which is really cool. They spread it out. I like that. It's in a new event area in Lake Nona near Orlando in Florida. So far, Rob this 31 attends so far that's of yesterday morning. Some names you may hear in this podcast will be there like yourself and myself. Dailon Barb, Colecracker7, Buckeye

Rob Vardeman (11:56.79)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (12:07.106)
Minnesota boy, which we just mentioned, the wheeling is going to be there. I'm going to say he's going to be wheeling and dealing just saying. And of course, the latest one that I heard yesterday is the geocaching blogger is going to be there as well. So some names are going to be there. Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (12:12.266)
Hehehehe.

Rob Vardeman (12:20.81)
Confirmed he will be there and we're all gonna have a great time. Um, I can tell you it has gone international as well We do have two players from Germany that are traveling over Yeah, so they're on there and people are familiar with the name Jack Sparrow. So Jack Sparrow is gonna be there. Yeah There you go

Seemyshell (12:25.895)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (12:32.33)
Yes.

Seemyshell (12:37.922)
Oh, there you go. There you go. There's more and more. So make sure what was, why we promote this guys is to make sure you get your attends in ASAP so the organizers know how many to do to accommodate for. But if you have a look on the, I think it was a Munzey cooler web Facebook page, one of the, he announced that there's going to be prizes like premium memberships as prizes, Robert, if you're there. Yeah. So make sure you get in, you will attend or you attend the will. Yeah. You will attend basically.

Rob Vardeman (13:02.571)
Nice.

Seemyshell (13:07.574)
Make sure you get them in before Christmas. If you get them in before Christmas, you go in the drawer. If you don't, if you just turn up late, then you know, you're not going to get some, some of the prizes, so make sure you get your Willattons in ASAP. Meanwhile, Rob, there's rumors. Can I talk about these rumors? Yeah. The rumor has it that there's going to be some, some special Munzee owned Munzee run, auto deploy gardens in the areas of the events as well.

Rob Vardeman (13:11.97)
Go.

Rob Vardeman (13:15.639)
Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (13:22.55)
Really? Sure, why not?

Rob Vardeman (13:36.226)
What? I guess, I guess some special garden builder must have been working on stuff behind the scenes. And yeah, those are what I don't know. I don't know where the rumor came from. But I've also heard around a different water cooler that yeah, it's possible that people will see those soon. Yeah.

Seemyshell (13:37.39)
What? What's that about?

Seemyshell (13:43.606)
I... ..

Seemyshell (13:50.868)
Nah.

Seemyshell (13:54.714)
Yeah, that's, that's really cool. That's really cool. And those people who don't understand what we talk about auto deploys, if you see, uh, Dale gets on the water cooler every now and then, and he does an auto deploy garden saying, you know, at nine AM Munzee HQ time, I'm going to release an auto deploy, you click the link and you go and you buy whatever it is that it's available and he deploys them all in one go BAM, and they're ready to go. So that, that sort of thing, that's auto deploy gardens. So Munzee, you're going to run those as well. That's really cool.

But Rob, there's also a special

Rob Vardeman (14:25.374)
Yeah, I'm gonna have a special badge because typically when you know, when I go to events and it's like, hey, here's a here's a Florida license plate, you know, specific to that event. So I'll have one and it is entirely possible and very likely that there will be quite a few other special badges and some of them might be attached to Unique people that are traveling to the event like yourself possibly who knows. I mean, a

Seemyshell (14:28.535)
Oh. Well.

Seemyshell (14:36.329)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (14:49.758)
That's really cool.

Seemyshell (14:53.714)
Oh, oh, I see this is new information to me too.

Rob Vardeman (14:56.334)
I know. I know. Well, you're like you're on the official Munzee podcast and so maybe there should be some sort of a podcast badge for that they can get and they get it from you. Might as well.

Seemyshell (15:07.698)
Well, Rob, I'm going to, this just remind me, this is not on the show notes, just to let you know, but it just reminded me as well. When I looked through my badges before, when I got my 50th badge, I looked through my badges and I've got like, you know, the GCV badge. I've got, you know, the coexist one. I've got Mari, I've got Tamara, I've got Craig, cause I met them in California. Now I've met you in Florida. I met you in California. I think I've met you somewhere else as well. I still to this day, I don't have the Rob badge. Can you believe it? I haven't got the Rob badge.

Rob Vardeman (15:12.513)
Okay.

Rob Vardeman (15:24.482)
Hmm.

Rob Vardeman (15:35.583)
Now that's really funny. That's really, that is very entertaining. There's like a meet the makers badge that sometimes comes with mine. It's got like an alien on it, I think. Then, yeah, I have a couple of random ones. We'll have to look into that. Maybe maybe this next time you'll get my badge.

Seemyshell (15:37.394)
That's really funny.

Seemyshell (15:43.382)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Seemyshell (15:52.974)
Yeah. I have to be. It's on my to do list when I see you in Florida. And again, people, that's just another reminder when you when you do come to Florida, make sure you seek out these people like Rob himself and capping. I have kept your back badge the one the one on your back on your Yeah, I've kept that one. But that's not a special patch. But anyway, Rob coming up this week, this we've just released his podcast today on Friday at midday, not the 5am.

Rob Vardeman (16:09.066)
Oh yeah. Yeah.

Seemyshell (16:21.374)
Midday we've released six hours later. Why why Rob what's happening now?

Rob Vardeman (16:26.09)
Well, you see, they this week, there hasn't been really a lot of stuff that's been going on for us to talk about unless of course we waited to release this podcast at midday because that's when we're putting several new things out and they are very much worthy of being talked about. So we put it on hold. The first thing is hairy nails.

Seemyshell (16:46.59)
The first thing being, the first thing being, let's get into it, let's dive deep.

Seemyshell (16:54.118)
What?

Rob Vardeman (16:54.142)
You said it you said it at the beginning you said we're gonna talk about Harry nails. Well, Harry nails. Yes, Harry nails is what I have affectionately nicknamed our newest places Munzee. Because you see this newest places Munzee is all about barber shops and hair salons and nail shops. And because we took we took something simple like barber shops and hair salons and we said, Oh, but what about and we added in nail shops as we took

Seemyshell (16:58.222)
Oh, I did too, that was in the first, start. Yeah.

Seemyshell (17:15.885)
Ah.

Seemyshell (17:21.547)
Hmm.

Rob Vardeman (17:23.838)
as we took that core idea of getting your haircut and turned it into getting your nails trimmed, fixed, painted, all that as well. I was like, well, should we redo the icon? And we decided no. So I said, okay, then let's just call it hairy nails instead since we've got both. No one agreed.

Seemyshell (17:31.325)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (17:41.435)
So what's the official name of it? People want to go and get the official name on the website. What's the official name of it?

Rob Vardeman (17:43.682)
The official.

Rob Vardeman (17:48.514)
the official name is the barbershop POI. barbershop places. Yes. So that's the official name. Go get you one. You will see these popping up worldwide. We know that there's been some conversation recently about like, hey, we haven't had a new places in a while. And here's the honest answer from the guy who's on the inside. We have had a lot of conversations about places for many, many months.

Seemyshell (17:52.394)
There you go, the barbershop P.O.Y. Wow. Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (18:11.661)
Mm-hmm.

Rob Vardeman (18:17.298)
And we've had a hard time really settling on what do we want to do next. And all of a sudden, we've got multiple ideas that have popped up out of one conversation. So Harry Nails is first. I mean, the barber shop.

Seemyshell (18:29.966)
I like it. But yeah, that's right. Barbershop. I like it. Well, I mean, we did have a discussion on this podcast, a few podcasts back now as well, and we're talking about the sloth cubimals coming out and et cetera as well. And I brought up then about the DMV POIs. Yeah. So that's not happening at this point in time, but the barbershop POI definitely is, um, so that's really cool. Get yourself one of those on the, uh, on the website ASAP while they're there. What else can they get?

Rob Vardeman (18:44.138)
Oh yeah.

Rob Vardeman (18:59.842)
Oh, well, so here's the thing. We've got a magnetic poles weekend event that is kicking off. Okay, right now, in the store, there's actually a pack that people can get that includes several magnets, and the ginger, gingerbread bounce house. So you remember that temporary destination? Yeah, so you can get one of those

Seemyshell (19:08.115)
Oh yeah.

Seemyshell (19:20.777)
Oh.

Yeah, the destination one, yeah.

Rob Vardeman (19:26.154)
and several magnets. It's all written in the store online. So that can help you navigate your way through the Magnetic Poles Weekend event, which is going on. And what we've written, and I actually just have to read it, is that all the toy making activity in the North Pole, combined with the sub-zero temperatures of the South Pole has created a magnetic field that's boosted all the magnets around the world. You can earn a badge.

Seemyshell (19:31.592)
Mm-hmm.

Rob Vardeman (19:55.998)
that is a description of the picture that you get from this badge. It's it's super cool art that Andy put together. And you can earn the badge by capping at least 15 bouncers this weekend. Do you have to use a magnet to get them? No. But but right. The whole point is, if you'd like to be able to get them easier, there's your magnets. So some people, that's difficult.

Seemyshell (20:02.206)
That's cool.

Seemyshell (20:16.379)
Oh, but if you do...

Seemyshell (20:22.446)
Yeah. So. So you mentioned that it's a magnetic poles weekend. What else happens with the mags? Say for instance, I magnetize a greenie here, you know, where I'm standing and I magnetize a greenie and because I'm a premium member, I'd normally get four, four bounces on that greenie. What happens this weekend?

Rob Vardeman (20:28.974)
Mm-hmm.

Rob Vardeman (20:33.578)
Mm. Yes.

Rob Vardeman (20:42.55)
So with the magnetic event, what happens is it's doubled. So you're normally expecting four, you will now be getting eight. Wow. Like, that's crazy.

Seemyshell (20:51.614)
Hmm. Oh, wow. So it's not the points that doubled. It's actually the number of bounces that doubled. Wow. Does that, does that work on all magnetized sort of locations such as, uh, you know, your Skylands or your tree houses sometimes can get up to seven in a premium, a premium state, so you can get 14, you can get 14 bounces in one go.

Rob Vardeman (20:58.314)
It's the number. Mm-hmm.

Rob Vardeman (21:12.647)
Yes.

Rob Vardeman (21:17.416)
Yes.

Seemyshell (21:18.046)
on your treehouse or Skyland if it's premium.

Rob Vardeman (21:22.002)
And you need 15 across the whole weekend to get the badge. And with one magnet, one magnet, a premium member can get 14 from a tree house or a skyland. If it's a premium tree house or a premium skyland, you can do that twice a day. Like you're well over the 15. I will tell you there are no other surprise badges. So don't like, oh, I'm going to see if what happens if I get 1000. Yeah.

Seemyshell (21:27.439)
Ah, barbing, barb-oom. There you go.

Seemyshell (21:35.839)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (21:46.106)
Yep. I get, I'm going to get a thousand. So yeah, don't, yeah, you can. Yeah. And I will say this as well, because it's, this is what I love, love about Munzee is that it's a two, two sided coin. And what that means is that if you don't have a mix, if you don't have bounces yourself, you don't own any. Get some ASAP because of this, this double point, double points, double bounce a weekend.

Rob Vardeman (21:50.25)
I mean, go for it, you'll get a lot of points, a lot of points, but no extra badges.

Seemyshell (22:16.358)
There's more chances of people going to be capping your bounces. Therefore you get the points for the better. That's how I see it. Munzee. It's the best game.

Rob Vardeman (22:22.934)
The the bouncers will absolutely be flying everywhere this weekend. It is going to be chaotic would be a good word for it. They will be there will be things moving all over the place all weekend. So yeah, get you some.

Seemyshell (22:27.81)
Yeah, yeah.

Seemyshell (22:32.041)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (22:37.978)
Lucky you're doing it now and not Christmas Eve just saying because they're going to hit Santa Claus just saying. But anyway, no interrupting Santa Claus.

Rob Vardeman (22:43.102)
Yeah, we can't have bouncers crossing the poles on Christmas Eve. It's yeah, flight traffic is already way too heavy on Christmas Eve. So yeah, we have to do it now.

Seemyshell (22:53.95)
Rounding out Rob the developments this week, we have one more thing that's coming out and that would be...

Rob Vardeman (23:02.039)
I'm gonna make this quick because as we record this, I'm not 100% sure if I am giving away information that's coming out in a few hours or if this information gets rolled out at the exact same time. And this is all about greeting cards, okay? So you know what you need in real life to send cards from one person to the next? You need stamps. Now, we're not going to change how greeting cards work at all. They're exactly the same. But what we're doing is we're

Seemyshell (23:07.558)
Okay. Here we go.

Rob Vardeman (23:29.35)
opening up an opportunity for players that have owned the last few mailboxes, let's say, you know, like, you know what, I really, really liked that paparazzi card, for example. And you only got one. And you deployed your one and one friend was able to cap it. And that's it. And that was two years ago. And now you don't have it. Stamps are coming to the scene, they're going to be in the redeem store. And you will be able to use them to get

old limited edition cards. If you have ever owned it, you can redeem stamps in order to get more of those. We're going to start that with all of the Christmasy mailboxes and any Christmas type cards from limited edition from the past, including this year's festive Anna mailbox. So if you love any of these, and a mailbox cards, you can get additional ones to be able to deploy.

Seemyshell (24:03.421)
Oh.

Seemyshell (24:10.536)
Wow.

Seemyshell (24:28.014)
Wow, there you go. So stamps, that's cool. And only in the redeem store though.

Rob Vardeman (24:31.742)
These will be used in the Redeem store. Yes, they're going to be purchasable through the online store. They'll come in packs and things like that. This will be another credit type thing for people to be able to earn, purchase, all those different kinds of things. So yeah, we're just, similar to COGS, yes. That's a good way to put it, in order to get more cards, in order to get the ones that we don't sell to you.

Seemyshell (24:34.695)
Yeah, yeah.

Oh, okay, yep, yep. Yep, yep.

Seemyshell (24:45.198)
Right.

Seemyshell (24:49.71)
similar to cogs, similar to cogs. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Seemyshell (24:59.582)
So you go to the store, you go to the actual, you go to the real Munzee store itself. You, while you're there, you, you grab yourself some, some of the hairy nails. I mean, barbershops POI and you can grab yourself some stamps to then use in the redeem store to redeem for your favorite, uh, cards that you had previously in the past. That is really cool. I liked that. I liked that a lot. Moving on, Rob, we've got five minutes left. We've got the Munzee question of the week.

Rob Vardeman (25:04.753)
Mm-hmm.

Rob Vardeman (25:11.979)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (25:28.722)
This one here actually, she didn't reach out to me, Rob. Just let everyone know, reach out to me because you know what? It's, it's, it's harmless. You know, I can ask you these questions. No problem. But she did ask the water cooler and that is Gina Hala on the water cooler. She asked about the history of virtuals. She said that they're obviously the history virtual. They're the black virtuals. They're Munzee owned and she's like, can you submit more of these? How do I submit more? How do I contact?

Rob Vardeman (25:37.803)
Hmm?

Seemyshell (25:56.738)
you know, HQ regards to these or are they just grandfathered now? So that's your question, Rob. Question is history, virtuals. Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (25:59.958)
Mm hmm. Yeah, it's a great question. I saw this one on the Munzee water cooler as well. And, and so I'm glad you picked it because I was actually going to comment on it and say, interesting. We've got like Texas historical Munzees, we've got them scattered around the world, right there in the UK. They're in quite a few different countries are in quite a few states. Years ago, before COVID is when it actually all stopped when we stopped adding new ones.

Seemyshell (26:11.485)
Mm.

Seemyshell (26:16.359)
Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (26:28.95)
We just stopped at that point in time. I have a backlog of some States and, um, in different places. Um, the one that most people have been interested in is the UNESCO world heritage sites. And, um, so someone suggested, what if we had a community run spreadsheet image queue sets up? And so I was actually going to respond to that comment and say, okay. Um, so the thing is, it kind of needs somebody from the community.

Seemyshell (26:33.403)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (26:40.895)
Mm.

Seemyshell (26:49.462)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Rob Vardeman (26:54.934)
to help out with just seeing if the spreadsheet is running properly. I can set it up and say, these are the categories or the columns that I need. And then someone look it over and make sure we're good. And then when we feel like cutting it off, then we launch them.

Seemyshell (27:04.534)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (27:10.322)
Perfect. But there you go. Hear it from Rob first. Wow. See what happens Gina, when you ask these questions, you get answers. Sometimes they're good. Sometimes they're bad, but all at all times that you pretty much do get answers of some sort, so that is really cool. So we don't have a timeframe on this as such at this point in time, I dare say, but, uh, when it comes out, you will, you'll hear more about it. And of course, make sure you are always, you know, subscribing to the Munzee social media, whether it be Facebook or.

Rob Vardeman (27:20.621)
Hahaha

Seemyshell (27:39.77)
YouTube and all that sort of stuff as well. Make sure you subscribe to all that sort of stuff. And of course, Munzey are going to make their, uh, announcement at some point in time when that's ready to go. That's really cool. Don't forget people submit your questions for Rob for tip of the week via a personal message to me on Facebook, Instagram, or on discord as well. But before we go, we've got to get the tips of the week out. We've got to get the tips of the week out. Um, firstly, I'll say this as some feedback first feedback, feedback from James Savannah on YouTube. And he said,

The tips and questions are good. I just wanted to say that the web map and the latest cup of Z a way easier to use. Looking forward to the next episode. So thank you for that, James. Very, very, very appreciated, mate. But with the tip of the week comes in regards to the last weekends, or events, it's just say, and it's, I like to call it no one else called it. I just call it this booster stacking. Oh, booster stacking. What's booster stack? Well, if you're, if you're wanting extra points, Rob, and you're at a double point.

Rob Vardeman (28:32.022)
Hmm.

Seemyshell (28:38.974)
you know, weekend already, and you're in an event as well, even better. What you can do is you can deploy a double point virtual booster, which will then give you double of the double, which is four times the points. And if you combine that with the radius booster and start bombing, you can then bomb your way while you're sitting at the event, you can bomb your way to cap like four times points.

Rob Vardeman (28:51.884)
Yo.

Seemyshell (29:04.358)
and up to a mile radius of these things sometimes, you know what I mean? Because that's what the bombs can do, up to a mile radius. So there you go. I like it. I like booster stacking.

Rob Vardeman (29:14.062)
Booster stacking is a very cool idea. And I mean, you can, don't forget, you can throw a physical capture booster on, right? And you can walk around and capture all the physical stuff while you're doing the same with virtual. So a virtual capture and a physical capture and the capture radius booster so that you're getting the scatters that are outside your normal, I mean, yeah. The, it's limitless, you could do it. Yep.

Seemyshell (29:18.811)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (29:24.946)
off course.

Mm-hmm. Of course.

Seemyshell (29:38.491)
Wow.

Yes. Yeah. So if you're, if you, if you really want that millionaires badge, by the way, I've got one. But if you really want that millionaires badge and you are coming to Florida, for instance, let's just say that you can very easily obtain that, especially if you are using some sort of booster stacking type of style. So, so there you go, Rob, this ends another official Munzee podcast.

Rob Vardeman (29:47.99)
