Craig (00:01.095)
Welcome to the official Munzee podcast.

Rob (00:04.01)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee.

Craig (00:07.948)
And I'm Craig also known as Seemyshell, I started as an avid Munzee player now proudly part of the team.

Rob (00:13.376)
Each week we'll delve into Munzee's mysteries, divulge some secrets, and inform players from around the world just what is coming your way.

Craig (00:20.467)
So sit back, relax as we chat today, Rob. It's all about love and the love that's coming up because we are almost in February, Rob, and speaking, let's get this off the bat, Rob. Speaking of love, Rob, the love of your life. Lou, Lou, Lou, Lou, Lou, what happened with Lou this week?

Rob (00:35.726)
yeah.

Rob (00:39.756)
Well, she had another birthday. there you go. Indeed. Indeed. Happy Australia day, which she shares as her birthday. So, yeah. Yep. Had a great time. she and I, she and I went into London. It's her favorite place to be. And, conveniently, it's not too far away. So, so, you know, we'd take a chance to go in, often as we can and,

Craig (00:41.287)
Yeah. Happy birthday, Lou. Happy birthday, Lou. Anything special? That's true. That's true. Yeah. What happened? What happened with her?

Craig (00:59.653)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Hahaha

Rob (01:09.57)
Yeah, it was a good time. in, participated in a little food and drink tour to learn some new stuff around SoHo, see some new places, take in new sites. Yeah, so it was pretty cool. We had a good time with that and yeah, just kind of hung out on a birthday evening and then turned it into a two day celebration. Cause you know, why not? Birthdays should be at least two days.

Craig (01:10.836)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (01:15.396)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (01:21.232)
Wow. Yeah.

Craig (01:26.153)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (01:34.471)
Yeah.

Rob (01:38.258)
Sometimes weeks, sometimes a month. Yeah, went and saw a show last night, a woman in mind with, yeah, with Romesh Ranganathan and Sheridan Smith. know exactly. Yeah. English comedians and show people. And yeah, it was, it was really good. It was very funny show and also serious. So yeah, had a good time. She enjoyed her birthday and

Craig (01:40.2)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (01:45.683)
woman in mind.

Craig (01:53.68)
okay.

Craig (02:05.051)
Nice, nice.

Rob (02:08.27)
Now we're back home and back to work.

Craig (02:10.527)
Back to work, back to the normal everyday grind. I will say, as I said before, happy birthday, Lou. And I did notice, Rob, all the players, a lot of players around the world were celebrating with her and saying happy birthday to her as well because of the new things that going to come out, which we'll talk about very, very soon. They're already out and about at the moment as we speak. If you haven't got your flat Lou's now, try and get them because they're to go away soon. So they're in for her, for Lou's birthdays. That's what they're out and about. So that's what they're doing. Meanwhile, Rob.

myself that's, is it Munzee related? Possibly it will be in the future. Why? Because I'm bringing it to California when I go to California in, in March. And what am I bringing Rob? I'm bringing my brand new drone. yeah. So this drone, Rob, it's brand new. It's the world's first 360 degree drone. What that means is it's like flying a ball in the air.

Rob (02:48.204)
Rob (02:55.758)
Ooh. Well then.

Craig (03:06.781)
and it records every single thing around it as it flies through the air. I can then change up the direction and everything else in post production when I'm actually doing the editing process, very much like my 360 camera and the same 360 camera that, that Whelan has got as well. So when I got the drone, have a guess who I messaged, one of the first people I messaged was Whelan saying, you like your 360? I've got mine in the air.

Rob (03:26.606)
All right.

Rob (03:31.405)
I'm sure.

Rob (03:35.124)
Right, I can get mine higher than you because he's a little bit taller so he could maybe hold it up a bit higher but now you've got the height advantage. That's cool.

Craig (03:39.871)
Yeah. Yeah. He's, he's got that, he's got the big stick and you've ever, you've ever been to an event, Munzee event where, uh, where Bob's there with his three sixties. Well, you see that big, that big long pole that, uh, that makes it look like a drone, but mine can go higher now. You're right, Rob. Mine can go higher. It can fly further, faster, you know, the whole of the things. And it comes with goggles, Rob. So I like it's an immersive experience.

Rob (03:57.001)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (04:04.105)
Craig (04:07.154)
You don't just look at it now from the, from the ground. No, no, no. You put the goggles on. It's like you're actually the pilot like in the flying it yourself. It's amazing. Absolutely amazing. Anyway, I'll be there in California with it too. So make sure you come to California. If you want to see me fly the drone. So I'll say this.

Rob (04:07.457)
Well then.

Rob (04:14.594)
Wow, sounds like fun.

Rob (04:22.858)
Well, all right. And if you don't, you'll get to see the footage. I'm sure online. So, yeah.

Craig (04:27.836)
Correct. Correct. But I will say that, that was one of the turning points for, for wheel. And he said, did say, well, maybe I will come to California now. So, so yeah, some people, Rob, some people like, you know, Bob, that's, that's what, you know, encourages them to come to these events. there you go. Exactly. Speaking of events, Rob, last weekend we had in Nebraska, Kansas, and,

Rob (04:37.343)
nothing.

Rob (04:48.588)
Yeah. Want to see new tech. There you go.

Craig (04:57.028)
I always get this wrong. I was going to say IN. IN Indiana, IN Indiana and around the world mate we had.

Rob (04:57.612)
Indiana.

Yeah

Rob (05:05.51)
Ontario, Canada, Denmark, Netherlands, Luxembourg, New South Wales, and Victoria, Australia.

Craig (05:12.23)
Now the leaderboards, Rob, not just the weekend leaderboards, because we always talk about the millionaires too. We had millionaires last week during the week. Wednesday last week we had Munzee Prof with 1 million points. Thursday during the week we had Toxin with 1.2 million points and Munzee Prof again with 1.2 million points. Rob, how about you do Friday for us?

Rob (05:33.422)
All right, congrats, millionaires. Friday, had Snickers 71 with 1.2 million. Munzee Prof again 1.1 million and Tuggy 7694,000.

Craig (05:46.783)
Nice job. And I haven't heard that, uh, that Munzee player on the leaderboard before the tuggy 70, well done. Tuggy 70, 694,000 points. Saturday Rob, a first place NZ series one, 360,000 points followed by Jairus Lucas, 311,000 points. And then third place, we had a red man with 205,000 points on Sunday, mate.

Rob (06:11.598)
Sunday, Regal 435,000, Dulky 68, 383,000, and FRLK 344,000.

Craig (06:21.022)
Nice job. Nice job to those people on the leaderboards over the weekend. If you want to be on the leaderboard, best place to be is at an event. This weekend's events. have two in Yuma, Arizona on the Friday. Now this coincides Rob with the Yuma geocaching mega event that's there this weekend as well. So if you're going to the geocaching event, why not duck in and have a look? There's two events on there, on there for Yuma, Arizona. Nice place, Rob. Have you ever been to Yuma before?

Rob (06:48.844)
I never have. I thought that I was going to make it to that geocaching mega quite a few years ago, but did not make it.

Craig (06:54.544)
Yeah, yes, yes, yes, the one Josh and I went there and that's the first time that we walked over the border into Mexico. We got ourselves a nice little margarita and got a cash or two and then walked back over the border. there you go. Yuma, Arizona. Very nice place to be. We also have a one in Virginia and one in California and around the world, mate, we have.

Rob (07:08.014)
There you go.

Rob (07:16.948)
Around the world we have Germany. That's it.

Craig (07:19.922)
That's it. Just the one, just the one in Germany. That's all this week and tell us coming up to the end of the month. That's what it is. Meanwhile, big events coming up. Well, some big events, some non big events, February 20th Foley, Alabama, the day before the Bama mega I'll be there. Rob, if you haven't met me in person, what my badge come and see me at Foley, Alabama, February 20th, March 6th and 7th Munsey madness. Four events, one on Friday, three on Saturday. That one slowly starting to grow. It grew by one more after I told Bob about my drone.

Rob (07:25.048)
Yep.

Craig (07:48.831)
That's what happens. this one here, Rob, not on the calendar just yet. No, someone reached out to me and said June 5th, 6th and 7th. So three days in England, there's going to be big events there. June 5th, 6th and 7th in England. But he also said to me as well that they have big events every single month, even if it's just a one day event. So yeah, it's true. They have megas quite often. They're over in England, Rob. I'll just say, so, so maybe.

Rob (07:48.846)
Nice.

Rob (08:14.094)
It is true. Yep. They bring the people.

Craig (08:17.246)
Maybe June 5, 6 and 7. I don't know. I don't know, Rob, you know, if there's going to be any other Munzee staff there, like, you know, maybe yourself or Lou or Sam or me. I do. There you go. Sam will represent. Um, meanwhile, Rob on September 18th to 20th as well, have Munzee Mania in Minnesota. I don't know. Um,

Rob (08:28.558)
I'm unfamiliar with this topic. Sam does usually go, there's your answer.

Craig (08:46.43)
Only seven attendees there. saw seven on that list in it's yeah. I know they can't get their fingers to work to click. attend. So there you go.

Rob (08:50.07)
It's still very cold. you know, there are reasons.

For reasons, the numbers are not high yet. Let's hope that by September, everybody is ready to go there.

Craig (09:03.07)
Exactly. Meanwhile, they actually release when I say they, mean, you know, Bob and, and, Lesh family as well. They released the locations that they're going to be their brand new location. So if you've been to every single Munzee mania in Minnesota, then, then these are brand new locations even for you as well. So make sure you have a look at the locations. If you don't know where they are, jump on the calendar and have a look, or you can join the Munzee mania in Minnesota Facebook page as well. And all the updates are on their Facebook.

page two. there you go. If you are a host of a growing event, reach out to me and I'll, I'll point you in the right direction. Or we can have a chat as a few people have been doing Rob. I'll just say that something, nothing's permanent yet. Just nothing's on the list. Just yet to say, just say, but anyway, anything else you want to release there before we move on to what's happening this week? No, man of many words this morning. Next up.

Rob (09:46.467)
Fakid.

Rob (09:53.142)
Nope, that's it. Next. Today for sure.

Craig (09:59.555)
Absolutely. All right. Developments to this coming week as well. had recently announced that the gardens of the month winners were announced this week. So congratulations to the gardens of the month winners. Meanwhile, coming up in February, Rob, we have love and kindness is the theme. And in March we have read, learn, grow. Now we did say that January is a little bit light on the, applicants, for, garden of the month and

You know, hope for a few more different applicants to try and get out there as well. If, you need, again, if you need any help with any of this garden stuff, reach out to me. I'm happy to help you with all your garden needs. Or even, you know, when it comes to tech stuff, Sam is very good and very quick with all the tech stuff side of things too. So gardens of the month, any tips for the gardens?

Rob (10:45.926)
all all there on cup of Z gardens. So you just got to get into the app or the website for building website for me. But yeah, just get in there. Put those little hashtags in, you know, make sure that people know about your garden, get everything deployed, because it's got to be full for us to to be able to choose it. So, yep.

Craig (10:48.978)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (10:55.198)
All your website guys. Yeah.

Craig (11:01.628)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (11:06.494)
That's right.

That's right. It has to be full. has to be more than 50 pins or more. It has to contain a POI that's close enough to the actual garden itself. Those are the things that can't be any temporary pins either. So you can't have cards and potions, et cetera. They've got to be permanent pins. That's the really the only true rules in regards to this too. But if you're not one of those garden builders and you're like, no, I'm never going to build a garden in my entire life. I don't really want to be a part of that, but you want the badges.

then jump in to cup of Z, have a look which ones you like, and then deploy in those gardens that you like for all the rest of them, every single month for the rest of the years on there. So jump on, see what you like, and then deploy in those particular gardens that you enjoy. And it helps everyone else out because the gardens do need to be filled. And then if you're lucky enough to be selected or your garden is lucky enough to be selected, then you get a bad drop. There you go.

Rob (12:03.938)
I mean, you know, come on, it's fun. Try it.

Craig (12:06.814)
Give it a go. It's not, going to. Meanwhile, Rob, the February bonus events have already been released as well. Unlike, unlike January, cause you know, Munzee did have a bit of a break over the Christmas new year period. It was well earned. then, these ones have come out nice and early. February 6th to 8th is going to be double points for everyone, everyone premium and non-premium. And those double points will be on greenies, cards, flats, mysteries, and evolutions.

So those types as well, double points for everyone. And then the next weekend, Rob, what's happening?

Rob (12:40.046)
Well, for the love weekend 13th through the 15th, we've got double points for all players on greenies, cards, flats, colors and jewels. So there you go.

Craig (12:46.59)
Mmm.

Craig (12:51.216)
and jewels as well. you got two. So we're to have two double point weekends, next, next month in February. Remember February is a shorter month than normal as well. But I like these things, these two new things that come out as well. have mech Mondays, mech Mondays. See, I can say it without saying Minnesota. mech Mondays is double mech deploys every single Monday. So what that means is you can deploy, click one mech deploy and it will deploy two for you on your account instead of the one.

That's what it is. Double mech deploy, redeem them online or on the app itself and go from there. What do you like about those mech Mondays?

Rob (13:28.59)
I mean, you know, we put together the community credits, you know, voting and what came through that was pretty clear was surprise us. So surprise. We've come up with a couple of, you know, little odds and ends. There's, yeah, the double point weekends and, know, some love and some don't. OK, well, here it is anyway. And it's for everyone. And then my Mac Mondays, you know, we've done something similar. Hey, why not? Every Monday. Cool. Have fun. And.

Craig (13:34.857)
yeah.

Craig (13:40.488)
Surprise.

Craig (13:46.366)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (13:54.234)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Rob (13:58.124)
Then we've got something for Wednesday as well. come on.

Craig (13:59.549)
Before we move on, but before we, before we move on to the Wednesday, no, no, Rob, I've got to, I've got to get this out every single time. The, the, the tips, the tips that I have for mech, mech deploys, double mech deploys. And that is the, no, no, no, this, I got a different tip of the week. This one is for the mech Mondays. If we're talking about the mech duos. So if you deploy, I think it was like, there's a yin and a yang, you know, the black and white ones and they go around in a circle together. If you deploy one of each of those.

Rob (14:11.042)
putting in the tip of the week man I'm just kidding go on

Rob (14:24.472)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (14:29.02)
Then a third one will go out automatically as part of it, like a combined one together. That's how the, the duo mix actually released. so come make Mondays, if you deploy one of each, then it's going to deploy two of each cause it's double and also then deploy two of the actual duos as well. See, so you get six for the price of two Rob.

Rob (14:53.654)
I mean, it's pretty amazing. You actually get six for the price of, is it four? No. Is it two? It's only two? Yeah, you're right. You're right. Yeah.

Craig (14:59.078)
No, two, two, because you deploy one of each and therefore that releases four and because you got released two of each, then you release two of the duo. So six for the price of two. That's all right, Mr. Mathematician. Six for two, Mech Mondays. All right, Rob, what's happening on Wednesdays?

Rob (15:08.204)
Yeah, bad math on my part. Six for two.

Rob (15:17.206)
I don't even remember anymore. Don't there it is. Nevermind. It's in front of me. It's a Wednesdays. Everybody loves a little Wednesday and a big Wednesday, but on Whittle Wednesdays, you've got double Whittle deploys every Wednesday. So this is happening only from the wishing wells. So this isn't, if you open a trunk, you get times two on that. Remember this is when you go to the wishing wells.

Craig (15:19.024)
It's on the show notes.

Ha ha ha

Craig (15:34.686)
Nice.

Craig (15:40.061)
Yes.

Craig (15:43.771)
No.

Rob (15:46.828)
So we've told you now, which means that everyone has time to, you know, save up your stars and then next Wednesday, go to the wishing well and and, you know, release a little if you've got any of those level tens, then, you know, that's 25 stars. Remember that you can hold 100 stars. So your options are on a Wednesday. Get, you know, go to four different go to four different wishing wells and put four whittles out there.

Craig (15:53.319)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (15:58.846)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (16:02.877)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (16:16.514)
That'd be cool. Or if you only use one wishing well, then every Wednesday, four in the month of February, put out a new little one. It just takes 25 stars. Or if you only have the level ones, 75 stars at a time. Anyway, enjoy whatever.

Craig (16:16.915)
Yeah.

Craig (16:26.052)
One wish, yeah? Yeah.

Craig (16:32.318)
75 stars. Yeah. Yeah. And if you don't have, if you don't have any widows at all, Robert, and there are people out there that don't have any widows at all, grab yourself a few in the lead up to Wednesday. As you said, don't wait till Wednesday for them. Grab them beforehand and in the trunks in the app as well. And when you grab them in the trunk, you can't get the same widow level twice. So what that means is if you've got, you know, the widow wanderer or whatever it might be, if you've got him as level one and you get him again,

He's going to be automatically level two. And as they level up, they become cheaper to deploy with stars. So the more weirdos you have, the cheaper they become. So, which was what I like, Rob. I like that. Or I don't think there's any widows left in the store still Rob, but the actual level 10 ones.

Rob (17:10.414)
story.

Rob (17:17.186)
I think the reindeer are in until the 31st. Yeah, I think that's the only ones to buy in the store. No, of January after this goes live still just barely. Nope.

Craig (17:24.094)
31st of February, 31st of February, January. I was gonna say there's no 31st in February. by the end of this month, so if you don't have any wheels at all and you want to level 10 and jump into the store before the end of January and get yourself the level 10 little and the level 10s that you can get from the store Rob to because they do extra things. You know, they they check out the wisps for the players as well, which everyone likes that sort of thing too. So

Rob (17:46.19)
They do. They do.

Craig (17:51.646)
I do love myself my level 10s Rob, will say. Rob, do you have a favorite Whittle of your own that you'd like to release?

Rob (17:58.752)
believe still it's the zombie.

Craig (18:01.558)
you're the zombie. You're a zombie. See, I'm a magpie fan. I love the man. Maybe because it's my home ground or I do like frostbite as well. Frostbite is very cute. The little blue, blue type. Yeah. Little wolf looking thing. Yeah. He's really cute too. So I do like a frostbite or I like a, a magpies. They're my favorite too. meanwhile, Rob, that's widow Wednesdays every single Wednesday for the month of February deploy one and two will go on your account.

Rob (18:03.756)
Yeah. Yeah.

I so.

Yeah. the little wolf looking thing.

Craig (18:29.022)
That's what it basically is. Remember though, you can only deploy one Whittle per well daily. That's it. That's what you can do. Meanwhile, Rob, the frigid flash mobs, end on the 31st. They're ending soon. What does that mean, Rob? The frigid flash mobs will end.

Rob (18:44.674)
Well, all of those greenies that have the extra, you know, cap sitting on top of them. Those are all going back to normal greenies. Everything that has that light blue tint to it. It's been six or eight types of them. Well, the final ones were released this Monday. They were the walnut chest set and citrine. And yeah.

Craig (18:48.961)
yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (19:00.519)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Rob (19:07.864)
They're going away on the 31st. So if you haven't got all of those scatters, if you haven't got the points from the frigid sitting on top, yeah, do it now. Do it now before they're gone.

Craig (19:09.896)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (19:16.582)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (19:20.51)
And also the other incentive to do it and do it and do it, it now is that you get every single one you just, I think it's one of every single type, you know, and that includes the physicals here, not just, not just the virtual. I know some people Rob that they just like that they don't want to their car. It's too cold. But no, do the physicals as well, because you kept one of every single frigid and you get badges too. there you go. Don't forget, don't forget those badges for all you badge hounds out there.

Rob (19:36.3)
Yeah, it's okay.

Rob (19:42.446)
Hmm.

Craig (19:46.623)
So get rid of these frigids now off the map before they just leave on their own accord to get the points. Meanwhile, Rob, here we go. They were talking about the happy birthday Lou. The Lou flat scatters came out. What happened with the Lou flat scatters, Rob?

Rob (20:01.164)
Well, you know, we figured, why not let everyone celebrate Lou's birthday along with her? And so every flat Lou and every fancy flat Lou, all of those, when you capture them, they have been scattering water bottles or champagne bottles. Yeah, it's very funny. She saw the picture of the badge on this one and had a nice laugh. So that was good. It's a

Craig (20:19.034)
Mm-hmm.

What?

Yep. Yes.

Rob (20:31.254)
a flying bicycle basically and one that she would never race on, but hey, whatever this one she's got champagne bottles and water bottles. And yeah, I wonder if everyone could guess which bottle is her favorite kind. But yeah.

Craig (20:33.609)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (20:47.004)
Well, it depends on the time of the day. So it depends on the time of the day. If it's, if it's before lunch, this is true. But if it's normally, it's before, I will give this to Lou. But if it's before midday or whatever, she is out riding. She does drink the water bottle. So she does have water as well. but then, you know, after lunchtime, she might, you know, pop a pop a cork or two on the champagne. So, and as she should happy birthday to Lou. Meanwhile, Rob, guess what else came out this week? The clan war requirements.

Rob (20:49.836)
That is true, but it is five o'clock somewhere.

Rob (21:07.765)
Who knows?

Rob (21:13.794)
Do tell.

Craig (21:16.752)
And I, after last week and announcing to people as well that, know, that myself and a Minnesota boy, Minnesota boy, Minnesota boy, now, part of the plan requirements team. you're still part of the team, Rob, but you're just the overseer from now. You don't actually, you're not, you're not doing much with them at all apart from looking gum. Yeah, they look okay. What do you think about these ones, Mike? What do you think? What, give me your thoughts on these ones for my, for our first, our first lot.

Rob (21:30.722)
Yeah.

Rob (21:38.154)
Yes, exactly.

Rob (21:43.885)
Well, me, the overseer, know, having having all of the knowledge of all of the years of all of the clam wars and what people hated more than anything else ever in all of time. And really just making sure that you don't stumble on to that, because I don't want all of those complaints because they don't stop with you. They go all the way to me. I am not interested. I try and keep myself out of trouble. I don't need your help or to thank you very much.

Craig (21:46.11)
Yes.

Craig (21:51.432)
Hooray.

Hahahaha

Rob (22:13.1)
No, I thought you guys did a great job. it's been really helpful. it was nice. I got to sit back and, and go on and do some of my other 42 jobs. instead of having to stress myself out, late on the 27th to put the Glenn requirements together, even writing the blog, Tamara jumped in and helped out with the thing that I probably liked least of all, transferring over to the blog. yeah.

Craig (22:24.327)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (22:29.926)
Yeah.

Craig (22:37.852)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Rob (22:41.558)
I've got to put together the client pack and that's about the only thing that's left. yeah, as far as we'll see what everyone thinks. I don't think there's going to be complaints. It's yeah.

Craig (22:49.816)
Absolutely. I don't think so. Although in saying that I will say this, Rob, and that is some work goes into these clan war requirements. We don't just sort of, you know, pick numbers out of our, you know, hair. He thought it was going somewhere else.

Rob (23:05.356)
or lack thereof.

Craig (23:06.704)
Yeah, you're like thereof exactly. Rob, what I did was I looked back on last month, being December, I looked back in January as well. I looked back at how many teams, how many clans finished different levels, how many clans get different points. I then Rob looked back 12 months ago. That's right. February of last year, because February is a shorter month. So I looked back into February of last year, again, did the same thing. Had looked at me points. There was required the clan war types, how many teams and clans finished those.

And I added it all up and went with, you know, an average Rob. So that's exactly what I did. If, if those clan wars hunt up to your standard, you're like, it's too cold. And I'm going to say it in this fashion too. I don't care. It's too cold for me to get outside and do those things. Then so be it. It happens to all of us. You know, we can't all live in Australia. you know, although I'm saying that Australia is too hot at the moment too. They go, it's too hot down here. And it is, I'll say that.

Rob (23:49.376)
OK.

Rob (23:55.062)
Yeah, level down. Right.

Rob (24:03.502)
Right. Yeah.

Craig (24:04.158)
It is really hot down in Australia at the moment too. you know, we've got, we've got freezing degrees up here in the North and boiling degrees in the South. So that's what's happening at the moment around the world. But if you think that to yourself, you know, we're not, not, we're not going to be able to do it, et cetera. That's why you can change around the clans during, before or after the clans actually begin. And that's the reason why the clans come out early so you can accommodate for yourself and go from there.

Rob (24:14.475)
Indeed.

Rob (24:32.343)
Yep, make your changes on the first and second and yeah, get ready, play to your level, enjoy yourself.

Craig (24:37.018)
Mm-hmm. Exactly. Yeah. Absolutely. And that's what at the end of the day, Rob, that's all it is. Enjoy yourself. I will say I did add a little bit of spice, a little bit of extra when it comes to the, I shouldn't say this to you because I don't think you saw it. A little bit of spice, a little bit extra when it comes to the rewards for the featuring the clans. But anyway.

Rob (24:57.154)
Hmm. Well, as we record, everything hasn't quite gone live yet. So, hey, everybody, if it doesn't look as spicy as you were thinking, last second changes. It'll be fine.

Craig (25:00.67)
I know. Rob's had his fingers in the pie. Meanwhile, Robert, the February 2nd is around the corner and what's happening happening on February 2nd.

Rob (25:17.262)
Well, as this month in January, the munchrooms are leaving the map. So farewell munchrooms. Goodbye, everyone. If you had purchased eight of those back in 2025, then you will get that permanent one, which will stay on the map and will be bouncing around. That will possibly be automated and come out as it should on February 1st. Should everyone not receive those because of

Craig (25:23.385)
yes.

Craig (25:42.692)
and

Rob (25:46.646)
the whoopsie. They will be put out Monday, February 2. So just in case but I believe you've got a reminder for everyone once they go live.

Craig (25:52.03)
February 2nd.

Craig (25:58.111)
Absolutely. Do I? Oh, update your skin. Yeah.

Rob (25:59.864)
What is that? Yeah, well, it's written right there. All you got to do with your skin is just update it. So I could have read that as well. But, you know, just update your skin. You can put it on the randomizer. I think that's going to that's really a fun way to do the the the streak bouncer itself, because then everyone as they bounce, everyone's got a chance to get some of those old ones that maybe they never saw.

Craig (26:10.067)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (26:13.618)
Yeah. Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Exactly. Now I thought you were talking about my, my reminder that I have Rob on the third of every month, but anyway, I'll, I won't dive into that just yet. And when it comes to clan wars, I'm not going to, I've learned from your mistakes, Rob. am not going to promise anything, just in case I don't wake up to my alarm. Meanwhile, we have a Munzee question of the week. This one, I saw this one on, on Facebook this morning, Rob, it comes from Kelly Hyatt on Facebook.

Rob (26:27.724)
No. No. Yeah, not yet.

Craig (26:49.68)
Anyone know why my Skyland Cap on points was 300 points? I'm not complaining. I'm just curious now, Rob, before you answer this, there was thoughts. read through some of the thoughts from other players. They floated around there being a Flamingo floaty on it and giving her the Cap on points from the Flamingo floaty. Others said that this happens sometimes with the Balloodle and the Balloonicorn, but not every single time. But my, my, my thinking is Rob, how many players have had 300 points from Cap on points?

from their tree houses or Skylands from any of these reasons and not said a word. You

Rob (27:23.542)
Yeah. Weird, right? If everyone has theories of like, this has happened to me in the past. And here's why. by the way, it's happened 47 times. we knew, here's my answer to this sort of, question of the week. if you'd like this fixed, just send in a support ticket. We will do all the research and we will figure out what's going on and we will make sure that you get the cap on points that you are due. You're welcome. Public service announcement of the day.

Craig (27:36.142)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Craig (27:52.898)
There you go. And how many support tickets, how many support things are you going to say Rob? I'm going to say, I'm going to say none.

Rob (27:53.462)
No, it's all good. mean, yeah.

Rob (27:59.202)
From this one, there might be a ticket saying, hey, there was an issue that someone talked about on the water cooler. Just ignore that. It's fine. Yeah.

Craig (28:06.31)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're talking support tickets that, what happens to you because we need more information. We need information about the phone. using you, we need information about the location of the date, the time, the place, the whole lot. So that's what we need. meanwhile, Rob, a Munzee request of the week has come through from Jean Williams on Facebook and she asks, why can't I, the new coal crackers land near me? She looked on Cuppa Zee Rob, which is the perfect place to look. will say

Jean, well done. look on Cuppa Z and you see exactly where all the coal crackers are. She said seven of them were hanging out in Florida. Maybe Rob, maybe it's the warmer weather in Florida. That's where the coal crackers love to be. saying. So.

Rob (28:43.374)
Well, I mean, that's where Coal Cracker 7 is from. So why shouldn't they mostly be in that point? But I mean, that's 7%. Right. 7%. So that's a pretty low percentage of them. I like Gene's voice that you put on without realizing. I apologize, Gene, for that. Oh, okay, good. Well, anyway, the answer to that is I don't know why they don't land near Eugene. Maybe you've got an anti-coal zone.

Craig (28:47.034)
Yeah. Well, not mostly. Yeah. Seven. Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (28:59.794)
You like that? Yeah. No, I realized. I realized.

Rob (29:12.522)
around you, you know, some climate people or something.

Craig (29:13.374)
maybe she's, maybe, no, no, she's been too good at Christmas time and the, no coal was ever going to be seen near her. Maybe that's what this no, no lump of coal. But I will say, Rob, as all bounces, these are random. so bounces go to random locations. They're not really target specific in different locations. and the Munzee team do not move these around like they do the virtual gardens for the bouncing gardens. No, no, no, no, no,

Rob (29:22.508)
I like your answer better. Yeah.

Craig (29:39.838)
No one has got time. Ain't got time for that. saying. Nope. No.

Rob (29:43.254)
And I have not turned the dials on the Cole crackers, not up, not down, not left, not right. I haven't chosen new pads and old pads. It's just, Hey, these are bouncing. That's it. Everybody enjoy. Good luck.

Craig (29:51.684)
No, it's just they're bouncing exactly and, and, good luck as well. If you do want them, then have a look at maybe magnetizing, a greenie or two and seeing if they come. But again, no, no guarantees of any of this sort of stuff happening from there. meanwhile, we're going to move on now to the Munzee tip of the week. And this one is when it comes to creating gardens themselves, remember the proximity of the POI for the garden needs to be close.

to the garden. Its purpose is to actually direct people to the garden as well. It's not just a daily POI cap for yourself, so you put it near your house or on a main road or whatever. Make sure that the

Rob (30:27.34)
What? That's ridiculous. You put the P.O.Y. out by the highway and you put the garden about six miles back. That's a terrible idea. Don't do that. Come on, people. We know this. No.

Craig (30:35.324)
Yeah, no, I know. No, don't do it. It won't be approved. It won't be approved because the POI still have an approval process. So please, please, They do need to be close to the garden. Do have any other tips apart from that one, Rob at all? No.

Rob (30:50.254)
Please don't send us support tickets about this garden that's near you that the POI is like 500 or a thousand or 792 feet. Just leave it. Some of them may have snuck through way back in the day. It's all, we've got a new sheriff in town. Yeah. Anyway.

Craig (31:01.128)
Just leave for the time being.

Correct. Correct. The others are grandfathered and will say that. Rob, speaking of grandfathers, or it's time for bed, that ends another official Munzee podcast.

Rob (31:11.138)
