Yeah, not so many munchies getting all the time. The mailbox Yeah, did get that I've seen a few cards from time to time here. And as we've gone various other places, then I've kept one or two. I'm in an area that doesn't have a ton. Do not deploy for me everyone. That was not a request because I will not be here for long. would be a bad idea. Anyway.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (01:31.505)

Mm-hmm. That's okay, man. And that's one good thing about the mailbox as well as you can move it around from place to place every single day move it with you Do not do not underplay edit location people edit location. So that's what you need to do Rob I've been doing the same thing with my my travels as well I move that thing around as soon as I know where I've stopped for the evening I then move I use cup of Z now I do use cup of Z and you can click on it on cup of Z in the main page yourself on cup of Z

Yeah.

Craig (02:06.907)
And then you say open in Munzee app. It opens the Munzee app. It automatically is where it was before. And then you edit location. Once you edit location, all you need to do, and you taught me this big boy, and that is you need to just click the little target button after edit location and it brings it directly to you. So there you go. Yeah, I know.

Rob (02:12.728)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (02:24.974)
Pretty magical, Sam built us a good thing there, just link it all together.

All together, all together. And we'll talk more about those sort of things, including the munch decks, et cetera, later on in this show. Mate, as I said before, I'm on the road again and I am now currently sitting in South Carolina in a random parking lot. And then the parking lot is to a park area. So after I do recording for this, I'm gonna get out and I'm gonna do my daily greenie walk around the park. So that's what I'll be doing. But Rob, I saw, I'm gonna do a detour as of this weekend. I'm detouring.

Craig (03:48.019)

Hmm.

Craig (04:00.979)
So that's PR Marks 1391. He's the one that you see all over the gardens. 408,000, that's points people. That's not garden pins, that's points. So yeah, don't be too worried about it so that you go. On Saturday, on Saturday we had Tofu Girl. She clicked over one million points on Saturday. So a big round of applause to Tofu Girl for one million points. W Helen again on 795,000 points.

Rob (04:07.628)

Rob (04:24.078)

Craig (04:29.139)
And then T 72 on 789,000 points and you name it again for the leaderboard. I it Sunday.

Rob (04:34.702)
Hmm. Sunday we had Jack Sparrow with 888,000. Alice Wine with 848,000 and Chicken Run 830,000. All pretty close there.

Craig (04:44.999)
I love it. Yeah, good list. Good mix. A good mix. Current events this weekend, as I said before, South Carolina. I'll be heading to that one. We've also got New York State, Maryland, MD's Maryland, isn't it? See, there we go. Geez, California and Minnesota. Now I've got to make a special announcement. The Minnesota one, it is boomerang 20. She's turning 30. The big three zero. I know, such a baby for you and I, Rob. But anyway, she's turning 30. So.

Rob (04:57.969)
Yes, yep.

Rob (05:09.806)
Wow. Yeah, look out.

Craig (05:13.423)
in Minnesota, have a look at the Minnesota event, place your happy birthday cards out there for Boomerang20 who's actually turning 30. Can she change her name to Boomerang30 now? wonder, but anyway. And around the world, we only have one in Finland. Don't forget, the big event's coming up January 16th, 2019 in Florida. Munzee Madness in California, March 8th and 9th, May 3rd, Munzee in Uranus, May 24th, Munstock, and then June 7th and 8th is in Ohio. And again, if you all have a big event or you want to host,

Rob (05:22.542)
She certainly can. I don't think she will.

Craig (05:42.643)
a big event, reach out to me Rob and we'll have a, we'll start discussions. We'll see how things pan out. Exactly. Meanwhile, Rob, we're talking about this week's podcast. We're talking things about like videos that have been posted from Minnesota boy, Minnesota boy, Minnesota boy. He's posted some more videos as well, along with, along with Rob, did you listen to the Munzey Maniacs podcast?

Rob (05:47.118)
Great idea. Yeah.

Rob (06:00.92)
Excellent.

Rob (06:06.286)
Do you know that I did not? I didn't. I haven't seen the link because I haven't really been on Facebook for a couple days, which has been nice. And yeah, I just haven't, I haven't gone for a Munzee walk. So I haven't been listening to any other podcasts. So sad.

Craig (06:08.503)
no!

Craig (06:21.863)
Well, if you, if you do listen to regular podcasts, then you probably don't need to know this, but if you don't listen to regular podcasts, that's fine. What you do need to do, Rob, and that is go into wherever you listen to your podcast, whatever app you listen to your podcast. Say for instance, it's Apple, Apple podcasts. You go in there and you find the show you want. could be the official Munzee podcast. It could be Munzee Manix podcast, any other podcasts as well, Treasures of our Town. You then click the follow button on it. So what happens is, is when they, they new publish a new, new episode,

then you automatically download it to your phone. You see, that's how it works. Yeah. So click the follow button. I know. Yeah.

Rob (06:54.19)
That's amazing. I will do that. I will do that. And that way I'll have actually all three of those that you just mentioned. The Maniacs, this one and Trojans Bar Town.

Craig (07:03.283)
Yeah, absolutely. Well, Rob, I'm going to have to talk to you now in regards to this. We're to have to talk about the P.J. P.J. Not two letters, not P.N.J. No, P.E.E.J.A.Y. P.J. That's how he spells his name. He, ready for this, Rob? He agreed with our last episode. He agreed with us. I know.

Rob (07:11.757)
Okay.

Mm.

Rob (07:21.133)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (07:28.844)
What? You're going to have to... thank goodness I'm sitting down because...

Craig (07:36.195)
I love it, I love it. And in saying that, Rob, he does it in the sort of the more of the mid to the beginning of the show. So after that happens, you can just end the show then and end it on a good note. So, but no, I'm just. Now he agreed with you, Rob, specifically when we spoke last episode and I spoke to you in regards to him wanting the extra buttons down the side, et cetera, et cetera. And you turned around and said.

Rob (07:46.926)
That's great.

Craig (08:01.501)
You know, that may be on the shelf, that's, it's, it's still there somewhere, but on a later date, let's get what's right first going with the app. Let's get the app that's improved. So there's no ever issues anymore. and then we'll look at those things too. And he agreed with you, Rob. He thought that was a good idea. So yes, exactly.

Rob (08:15.032)
Good. Well, well, it was his idea, really, you know, he's the one who said, don't do the other stuff. Do this. But that's good. Yeah, I will have to check that podcast out. Good.

Craig (08:19.481)
Exactly.

Craig (08:23.357)
Yeah.

Yes you will because he also he likes the the premium appreciation month. He was very happy and very excited but he's worried Rob he's worried that all it's going to be is triple points and he's so sick of triple points. I'm like you're sick of triple point triple points you're sick of so I'm going to put this out there to everyone listening now if Munzee, Rob and the Munzee crew get rid of triple points

Rob (08:40.407)
You

Craig (08:50.875)
We all send a message to PJ and blame him for not having triple points on these. He's going to be inundated.

Rob (08:55.98)
Hey, that seems very fair. Very fair. No, it what we are doing for January is definitely more than just triple points. So yeah, I, I can, can understand what he's saying and realize, you know, we've we've done a triple points type thing for a couple of times now, including with the with mailbox owners now. So no, that's not the only thing because that's not cool and sparkly and new.

Craig (09:05.938)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (09:17.267)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (09:21.491)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (09:25.383)
No.

Rob (09:25.59)
So yeah, we, PJ and everyone else, we've got several cool and sparkly and new things. So let's get to January and then we'll make some announcements and make it up.

Craig (09:38.387)
I was gonna say quickly, quickly, just as I said before, if you don't listen to their show or whatever, listen to the show because they do have a great podcast as well. Mostly, mostly about Munzee Play. Anyway, we won't get into talking about anything else. Meanwhile, Rob, you said before the premium celebration month in January. What's happening now for January and the premium celebration month?

Rob (09:49.703)
Thank

Rob (10:01.324)
Yeah, the only official information that we've put out there yet is triple points on everything from January 3rd through the fifth. So prepare yourselves everyone like this is this is a chance to whatever your yearly goal is go ahead and just make that happen between the third and the fifth of January and set a higher call for yourself later.

Craig (10:03.485)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (10:25.339)
And remember as well, keep an eye out on places like the water cooler, whereby people will actually post their little tricks and hacks, including the potions of plenty and how to use them wisely before you deploy your huge point bounces or your mechs or your, your cubimals. There you go, Sam, cubimals as well. So yeah, deploy, before you deploy that on triple points, make sure you do use the extra booster as well. So yeah.

Rob (10:45.021)
Ehh

Rob (10:53.038)
Yeah, that would be great. I mean, it's points. So I agree. I think it's great when everyone comes up with these, these things that we did 10, 12 years ago, you know, would never have thought that there would be a 9000 point Muncie, you know, what one single action to get 9000 points. That's completely nuts. Yeah, yeah.

Craig (11:07.251)
No.

Craig (11:12.755)
from the comfort of your own home too Rob, like from the comfort of your, he can be laying in bed and get 9,000 points in one button click. Whereas, you know, the years gone by and Minnesota boy, he's one of the saying this as well, like, you know, he's one of the original players from years gone by and he says that the inflation of points is just dramatic compared to what it used to be. Let's be honest, Rob, there was a time there where 9,000 points was actually a good month, you know, you know, so.

Rob (11:18.446)
Yeah.

Rob (11:36.718)
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah. But back at the beginning, couldn't, yeah, yeah, you couldn't do much more than that for a month, that's for sure. And yeah, now, anyway, what a great game. It's gone through lots of changes and we're gonna keep things exciting in 2025, that's for sure.

Craig (11:42.291)
I'm

Mm-hmm.

Craig (11:56.531)
Exactly. Mate, so anything else that you can make hint to over the next or you don't want to or you can't or...

Rob (12:02.222)
I would like for everyone to get back into the office and let's make sure that we've got a tight plan for the things that we are going to have. And the timing of it during the month is going to be what's still on the table for discussion. I suppose once we're once we're all back, we will have some more information for everyone. But but you're it's not going to get

Craig (12:10.909)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Rob (12:31.31)
a big long heads up in front of it because we're just going to have some fun.

Craig (12:36.807)
So in other words, keep your eye out daily basis on the actual app itself and have a look when you see come up with what's new and have a look from that. Have a look at the Facebook pages and Instagram and X wherever you get your Munzee information from, make sure you keep up to date with that as well. But I dare say Rob, you can say yes or no, or don't answer this at all. I'm hoping that it's least something different each weekend of sorts for the month of January.

Rob (13:01.376)
I believe that is the plan at this point in time. let's hope.

Craig (13:03.263)
there we go. There we go. Whether that be a weekend of two days or a long weekend of three days, I'm not sure. Each weekend, but sounds like it's going to be exciting month for premium members. And don't forget, if you are not premium, I don't know why. Number one, the biggest thing about premium, you get rid of all your caps, all the red ticks. You get rid of all of those. That's the biggest, that's worth the money just right there and then in the filters alone.

Rob (13:11.011)
Yeah.

Rob (13:24.878)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (13:29.792)
All those capton munsies, you don't have to look at them and sift through them anymore. Yep.

Craig (13:34.195)
sift through them. Exactly. Exactly. So if you're not premium though, get yourself premium ASAP. Or it could even be a late Christmas present from a loved one too. just saying. Exactly. Meanwhile, Rob, you announced the, gardens of the month for December as well. And we have, we have congratulations to Baa Bye 2024 by GeoMatrix in Minnesota. Baa Bye. Baa Bye.

Rob (13:43.246)
Hey, good call.

Rob (13:50.325)
Yes, I did.

Rob (13:57.108)
Bye bye. Bye bye. There you go.

Craig (13:59.571)
And and also congrats to a Minro Park fireworks, the Queen's purse up in BC, Canada. So well done to you as well. And don't forget, Cuppa Z is your best place to to have a look at what gardens you like and deploy in any single one. You don't have to go through, you know, Facebook gardens anymore. You can just do it literally through the app, through Cuppa Z, because you get a badge. If you just deploy one, deploy one virtual, deploy one, you know.

Rob (14:07.535)
Craig (14:28.365)
Munzey of sorts in these gardens and you will get a badge if it wins. So I got one badge just saying glass bump. yes, of course I did

Rob (14:32.75)
It's, it's true. did you, did you, because, I, I hadn't completed the assignment. So I actually, sent these badges out, on Christmas night because, yeah, I just, it hit me like, I haven't done that whenever I was looking at these notes, getting ready for today. So yeah. those badges are out there. Congrats to those who built it and, to the wise ones who chose that to deploy in. Yeah.

Craig (14:48.109)
wow.

Craig (14:53.491)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (14:58.557)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (15:02.637)
Exactly. I wonder Rob as well. Badge hounds like Eagle dad, for instance. I wonder if he literally does does those one at least one in every single garden so he can get the badges as soon as they become. You'd have to to stay on top. You'd have to. If you. If you want to try and catch Eagle dad like, you know, all power to you. Good luck with it. But if you want to, then you're going to have to do that to at least get an extra two badges every single month.

Rob (15:07.598)
Thank

Rob (15:16.43)
I'm who knows man. Yeah

Craig (15:29.275)
At the same time, you must submit a Munzee monthly video, get an extra badge for the month doing that. So there's three badges for free every single month. So there you go. Meanwhile, Rob, you've come up now as well with the garden of the month requirements. Now you've announced these requirements in advance, which is really nice because the gardens don't really fill too quickly, especially for the larger ones as well. So January, you have Call of the Wild. Tell us about that.

Rob (15:35.778)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (15:54.926)
animal themed. That's about, that's about all I can explain. Like, we are going to set up, sort of a different, group of people. it is my plan to, to kind of help pick the garden of the month. So the, the statements call of the wild and what does that make you think and feel and whoever the, group is that's choosing, will determine kind of where that is. So.

Craig (15:56.925)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (16:06.269)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (16:12.178)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (16:21.446)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (16:25.268)
yeah, animals is what we're thinking.

Craig (16:26.483)
A quick question then Rob, quick question then Rob, how, how does, like if this, this team who selects winners, how do they actually pick which gardens to choose from? Is there a way in which they can, you know, do like animals? Should people, other words, should people in the description of their, uh, of their gardens, should they write a description saying, you know, this contains animals and it's for the, for the call of the wild thing, you know, that sort of thing. They don't have to put it in the heading. You can put whatever heading you want still, but have that in the description.

of the garden. What are your thoughts on that?

Rob (16:57.88)
Hmm. Cause then if, if you searched call of the wild, then you'd have that. I suppose that is a way for a garden owner to draw attention to it. I don't know if, I don't know if that would be the way to, have your, have your garden like noticed by, a selection team or what? don't know. I don't know. That's an interesting way. I, this needs to be a conversation and.

Craig (17:01.261)
Exactly. Exactly.

Craig (17:08.263)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (17:19.795)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (17:25.834)
and part of the planning of how how we do garden of the month. I think you can see that light clicking on above my head. Yeah.

Craig (17:29.703)
because yes, exactly. Because I have had a couple of people reach out to me, Rob, asking where has the nomination form gone? believe it or not, Rob, you can write this down or I'll tell you later off air. on the actual blog post where it says, congratulations for Garden of the Month, on that blog post, it has an unidentified link there for nomination form, still to this day, just saying. that needs to be removed from the blog.

post as well. I saw that yesterday actually. there's no such thing as nomination forms anymore. So, but yeah, no, it sounds good. And so, so more to come, I dare say more to come on the garden of the month in the coming weeks. So if you're looking for to put something there for garden of the month and hopefully win, et cetera, then keep an ear out for, or an eye out for a blog posts or, you know, podcasts, whatever you like.

Rob (18:04.736)
Well, I'm gonna fix that.

Rob (18:11.789)
Yes.

Craig (18:23.459)
and we'll see what's happening with the gardens of the month. Meanwhile, February as well, don't forget February you've actually announced it is too hot to handle. and again, that could be anything real. That could be fire related or it could be love related because obviously February is the month of love with Valentine's day. know.

Rob (18:32.513)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (18:42.732)
Yep, that's exactly what we'd written on the blog. It loves in the air and things are heating up. February's theme is all about fiery designs from hearts to flames to anything sizzling. yeah, red.

Craig (18:46.44)
Mm-hmm.

Exactly.

Craig (18:54.835)
Exactly, but but but PG rated still people PG rated so yes, you don't want your garden to be Squashed by Rob and then put a band notice on so it still must be PG rated as such and also Rob I'm gonna check I'm just chuck this out again it reach out to me personally on the the water cooler on the On any of my socials or even on the Munzee app as well if you need a hand in creating your own garden in your own area and I know

Rob (18:59.553)
yeah. yeah.

Craig (19:23.589)
Sarah from the Munzee Maniacs podcast. She reached out to me on both her gardens and I assisted her with both her gardens and now both her gardens are full. So well done. exactly. meanwhile, Rob, this came out, this week and that is the boxing day sales. Tell us about this boxing day.

Rob (19:31.874)
Bye.

Rob (19:41.1)
Yeah, so end of the year, you know, it was, it was one of those things where we've kind of always had a Boxing Day sale. So just bring back out some of the things from the year. And it's, yeah, just something for a little bit of fun. We did release three new mechs. So yes, they fit into the Toyland toys is kind of what the

Craig (20:01.245)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (20:08.396)
the theme of it was. So one of them is spotted elephant. Another is Charlie in the box. And then you have Dolly for Lou, which looking at the Dolly for Lou, it's got that pink pink pink cycling helmet. You know, it does it does. Yeah, so that's a very nice Dolly for Lou. And Charlie in the box. Nice one. You got a cap on backwards. mean, I'm digging it. So yeah, that's

Craig (20:23.347)
that's got pink knee pads as well.

Craig (20:35.429)
Mm-hmm. Exactly. Although the, caps red, not green, but that's okay still. You kind of tell, you can still kind of talk because the, the Charlie in the box has got little rosy cheeks as well, which sometimes you have, you know, little red nose, you know, that's especially, especially after Christmas and new year. But anyway, and then the spotted elephant actually relates to, to the dog.

Rob (20:38.382)
Yeah.

Rob (20:46.563)
Yeah.

Rob (20:52.478)
Yeah.

Rob (20:58.013)
look at it. It does. That looks like we're over, doesn't it? Hmm. I didn't even.

Craig (20:59.247)
Yes, Rover. That's exactly right. Rover the dog is basically all dressed up as a spotted elephant too. So they're the three, the $7 50 in the store now in the month store now get them ASAP. And of course, when you get them, you get the blueprint as well, which means that you can, you can do them for cogs. Now they're each of them, seven cogs each. That's it. I checked again today, seven cogs each to redeploy. There's already over a hunt as we, as we talked about this and I'm talking

It's been inactive now for 12 hours. There's over a hundred of each out in the wild at the moment as we speak. yes, yes there are. So see, I do my research, Rob. Really all I need to do, all I need to do is actually go to the water cooler and have a look at the Monroe's post. She's all over it, all over it. She loves it, loves it, loves it. So also, also all the North zodiacs are now available to purchase as well on store.

Rob (21:32.302)
Are there that's That's Yeah, that's great. I I appreciate that so that I can just jump on and talk

Rob (21:47.553)
Alright.

Rob (21:51.138)
That's great.

Rob (21:56.226)
Yeah, we brought them in. Same thing that we did last year. We kind of add in whatever the year Zodiac has been. put those in for Boxing Day and beyond. And then the final thing that we did, we brought the temporary destinations back in. So if you enjoy those and you want to have something to use throughout the year, then they are available. And this sale is all running through the 31st. So that's what's happening.

Craig (21:59.283)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (22:24.211)
Perfect, perfect. And a good to stock up to on the temp destinations, just saying, mean, you have weekends like we currently having now, whereby it is not, it's double points for everyone, but triple points for mailbox holders for bounces. So if you've got a few temporary destinations in your little, you know, I call it a loop, Rob. know how some people do a loop around their area. If you have a couple of destinations around there, plus your tree houses, plus your Skylands, wow, wow, wow. You're getting plenty and plenty of points.

At this time of the year exactly exactly Rob I'm gonna move on now to the Munzee question of the week I want to talk about this one a little bit more as well this one was was anonymous through the Munzee app to me and they said How are deployers notified when their physical Munzees gets replaced? They tried to cap or sorry someone tried to cap mine with a bouncer and and was surprised to find out it was replaced when I left a clear hint and it was still there when when they went and looked the player didn't leave a

Rob (22:53.964)
Makes sense.

Craig (23:22.835)
UTL or NR, is un... what's that un...

Rob (23:27.178)
Unable to locate or needs repair. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (23:28.539)
unable to locate, I'm thinking log, unable to locate or needs replacing log or message me. So I was very disappointed that this actually happened. And Rob, we've all seen it as well. I've been to all with my travels. I got to a rest stop, Rob. Sometimes there's two or three even on a post whereby people are just too lazy to look around the post, instance. So they just literally re replace it there and then when it's actually still there as well. How are owners of those original

Rob (23:54.744)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (23:57.709)
Deploys are they actually notified through the app do you think?

Rob (24:01.162)
There is not a message that is sent. However, the a journal entry tripping over my words today, journal entry is made so that anyone can see so that, you know, let's say someone does like replace, however, they don't leave the sticker there, then that would be a piece of information for us to know. And through like a support ticket, you know, and, then we can see that

Craig (24:18.579)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (24:23.955)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (24:28.748)
this is what's happened and if the sticker doesn't seem to have been left there, yeah, that is a problem. And if we see a habit from that, then we can talk to that person. I don't always leave UTL or NR because I have stickers with me. And if I can't find it, then I feel like I probably it's not there because we just kind of know where they're going to be. And especially if there's a clear hint or whatever.

Craig (24:37.491)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (24:58.301)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (24:58.734)
It would be nice if a hint wasn't necessary. However on every single object. That's not always the case So so even if you do think it's obvious leave leave a little hint. Yeah, I get why this is disappointing But it is also something that could happen by accident It has to me before in that I have looked and not looked fully. I suppose. I don't know. I don't know how

Craig (25:14.407)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (25:27.552)
Replace it. And then as I go to stick it, it's like, it's on that side of the back of the sign. I, the pole was, it's much closer to the, you know what I mean? So if that's you peel, peel that old sticker off or cover that or cover that old sticker. Yeah.

Craig (25:39.687)
did that yesterday. I did that yesterday. No, no, no. I covered the old sticker with the new one and just put it over the top and just left to be on things. And then walked away thinking, what a waste of a generic that was, Craig. Like what a waste. So it happens. Yeah, it does happen. But I think what this person was asking was because they're the original owner of the physical, they don't actually get a notification if it's been replaced, like in your notifications when someone caps it, for instance. So all they're getting notified is,

Rob (25:53.39)
I agree. Yep.

Craig (26:09.074)
that someone's capped it, not actually replaced, then capped. You know what I mean? So yeah, yeah. Is it, would it be possible if that's the case then for those notifications to go through if they've been replaced or not, or you're gonna have to take it to the team? And is it actually worthwhile for that to actually be happening as well?

Rob (26:12.386)
Yes, yeah, yeah.

Rob (26:22.658)
Yeah, I don't.

Rob (26:26.69)
Yeah, I don't know if it is possible. I assume that it's possible for that piece of information to get sent through a notification, but I don't know that for a fact. Sam will. But the yeah, the real question is, is it fully necessary for that piece of information to come through? Because if it's been replaced, like your

Craig (26:29.127)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (26:34.962)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (26:49.949)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (26:56.046)
It may have been mine that was replaced in South Carolina where you are, you know, and there isn't anything that I'm going to do about that because I put it there while I was traveling anyway. So, yeah, I don't know. It almost feels like it might upset more people than it would actually help because there's nothing that you can do about it. And if it's somewhere local, then it's like, no, I want my sticker there. Okay, cool. That's fine. You can go and do it, but otherwise around the world. No. Yeah. I don't know.

Craig (27:00.424)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (27:16.467)
you

Craig (27:24.561)
The only thing I can think of that would be of any benefit. And that would be that, you know, if it's my local park area where I normally do my walk around or whatever, and someone come through and, they couldn't find one sticker for instance, you know, so they replaced it with something else. and that's fine. Like I'm happy for people to replace stickers for any of mine. Absolutely go for it. It doesn't worry me at all. And it doesn't worry a lot of people when that happens. But if I was to get notified of it, then I might turn around and go, hang on. If they, they may have not even looked for the others and that park may have been, you know,

replenished it may have been, you know, all the signs might've been newly painted through some signs might've been removed. So it might, might poke me to go out to that local park again and actually walk around making sure the other stickers are there. Who knows? They may have been painted over. So I then replace them all myself. You know, that's the thing too. So I think that would be the only reason for the notification, from an owner's point of view, from an actual honest point of view, because you want yours to be capped Rob. And as you said, not everyone does the, the UTL logs.

or the, or the NL logs. And so, you know, if, I see one now and I don't have any generics with me and it's painted over, I'll be honest. It's very rare that I'll do a needs replacement log. Sometimes I will. but other times we just walk on. you, and you don't want that to happen if you're the owner, and wondering why, hang on, why am I not getting any points? So yeah, that's a possibility. So we'll look in, you can look into it anyway, and, and let us, let us know your thoughts on the water cooler as well. Someone, someone spark up a conversation saying,

Rob (28:42.2)
Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, makes sense.

Craig (28:52.263)
Did you listen to the latest podcast and this is where they the new question. So it seems like we've got a question for everyone every single week so far for the last three weeks. Rob. No, I know. All right, Rob, we're going to end this episode with a Munzee tip of the week. And for my tip of the week this week is to look around the camp hub again. Why? Because to explore the new things like the Munze decks, like the redeemed store, you may be surprised what you find. When I say that and that is

Rob (28:55.896)
Yeah.

Rob (28:59.598)
That's good. I think that works.

Craig (29:20.839)
Some people still have not even opened the muns decks whatsoever. You see, and they still rely on cup of Z for instance, and stuff like that too. Muns decks for me, it's quick and easy, for things like, you know, a brand new badge that I just earned that hasn't popped up yet. Or, you know, what have I, what have I missing from a particular, you know, flat scatter event? You know, I can quickly go to the muns deck so I don't have to go through all cup of Z that way. But at the same time, when it comes to the, the, the redeem store, Rob, I know you've got your fingers in that pie.

Rob (29:23.583)
yeah.

Rob (29:35.438)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (29:50.739)
on a weekly basis pretty much and listen up everyone out there and that is if you're struggling with some part of your clan war, go into the redeem store. You may be surprised what Rob has put in there to assist, especially this time of the month, the end of the month coming through. So if you're needing dual points, for instance, look at that. These are new, I can redeem.

Rob (29:51.117)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (30:13.809)
this physical for this jewel now like that's that's good or I can redeem this for a master of disguise that's in there right now that I saw this morning. What I know. So he so things like that. So keep an eye on it and that have a look on that every single time. And that Rob is my tip of the week. You like that tip? Yes.

Rob (30:20.608)
Whaaaat?

Rob (30:31.854)
I that's great. actually thought, great, what new thing has been added in there? So I was opening it myself and then you were like, and then you said, because some people haven't looked at it at all. Oh, okay. It's not, it's not.

Craig (30:36.083)
So

I saw you go straight to your phone thinking, what has Craig found this week? anyway, anyway, Rob, that ends another official Muncie podcast.
