Craig (00:00.778)
Welcome to the official Munzee podcast.

Rob (00:03.103)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee.

Craig (00:06.798)
And I'm Craig also known as Seemyshell, I started as an avid Munzee player, now proudly part of the team.

Rob (00:12.035)
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 (00:18.808)
So sit back, relax. Today's episode, we're talking about the new stickers again. We're talking about Loki, April Fools, Rob, and you're an April Fool if you don't follow the right team. Team See My Shell, Team SMS. mate, mate, how have you been, how have you been, buddy?

Rob (00:31.833)
I nearly said something bad there. That was close. It ran through my mind, I must say. That's funny. Hey, I've been good, but let's start with you because you're the one who's got the story to tell.

Craig (00:45.158)
Well, it's only gonna be a quick story and that is last weekend, Rob, if any people follow me on my social media, especially Instagram, I posted it on there as well. I was part of the MOGA. MOGA is Midwest Open Geocaching Association, I think, maybe, correct me if I'm wrong, it's possible. And what it is, MOGA, it's a mega event and their mega event for geocaching is not like any other. This particular mega event have races, Rob, whereby you put your name in for the race.

You get to a certain location and normally it's a big park sort of area with overhangs and trees and rivers and creeks and all sorts. And then before they say go, like half an hour beforehand, they give you all the coordinates to all their hole punches. They've got all different hole punches and then they give you a card. So you then got to race around. When they say go, you got two hours to race around and try and punch as many holes as you can in the quickest time. Obviously there's first, second, thirds, there's medals rub. They hand out medals and everything.

Rob (01:47.002)
Well...

Craig (01:47.418)
Anyway, I thought to myself I'm not in the over 50 league just yet like I'm a week away So I'm like, know, I'm gonna compete this is my first time so I'm gonna compete our good friend W Helen as well Bob He was there as well and he wasn't competing but he did say Craig I'll do a video for you and if you can keep up mate, ha ha ha ha and he said I'll try I'll try so ready set go We all ran we're going through all these fields Rob where I'm talking, you know grassy fields

Rob (02:07.258)
Hahaha!

Craig (02:15.16)
quite sort of ankle high grass area, get to the first hole punch. Everyone's there racing to get the first hole punch. We get the first hole punch done. And then I turn around and Bob's still catching up to me, know, no problem at all. like, man, you are fast. I said, I told you, keep up. And then we run again to the second one. After I punched the second one, he's there looking at me with the camera right there pointing at me. So I'm assuming that the camera was running. So I said to him,

Rob (02:30.757)
You

Craig (02:38.754)
Come on, come on, keep up, keep up. I sort of, and I took off, Rob. I literally, put the pedal to the metal and hit the gas. And at the same time, I turned my head around to look at the camera because that's the way I'm inclined to do. I didn't see the big gopher hole that my left foot went in and my foot went in the gopher hole, my ankle went outside the gopher hole and I heard a popping sound and then I didn't put any weight on it after that. like ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

Rob (02:51.759)
Yeah.

Rob (03:00.583)
no.

Craig (03:06.694)
And then I sat down within five minutes, Rob. had a, not a golf ball size lump, I had a baseball size lump on my ankle above my shoe. And I couldn't walk on it. I couldn't do anything on it at all. So yes, that was the end of my, and needless to say, I didn't get a medal. I only got two punches. I didn't get a medal. So.

Rob (03:14.299)
Yikes.

Rob (03:18.341)
Hmm.

Rob (03:21.784)
Wow.

Rob (03:26.181)
Wow. Well.

Craig (03:30.51)
So my own fault, my own fault. I was showing off a little bit for the camera and went from there. I did ice it. I've got, you know, I know, I know. I've since gone through the good old US of A medical system here and I experienced it for myself. know, it wasn't too bad. I'll be honest with you, just expensive. And I did get x-rays and stuff as well. Thankfully it's not broken and it's just badly sprained. So I'm still resting it up as we speak.

Rob (03:35.803)
That's surprising! I'm so surprised you would do that with a camera.

Rob (03:49.658)
Yeah.

Craig (03:57.11)
as we record this week and I'm not doing too much on it at all. it's in between clan wars, Rob, so I don't need to do all my physicals every single day, but we'll get to those physicals in the meantime with the whole April fools joke as well. So, but that was, that was my week, mate. Very different to yours, dare say.

Rob (04:10.853)
Yeah.

Well, yeah, I didn't do enough movements to go and, you know, mess my ankle up. I mean, that's actually not true. Lou and I did go for a walk. was mother's day on Sunday. I kept a lot of Munsies while we were doing this. It was a three mile walk out to a pub and then, in a very non scenic route going and doing that, along sort of a busy road. And then,

Craig (04:21.218)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (04:25.962)
Craig (04:32.322)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (04:41.669)
Then we took a little walk a bit further, about a half mile or so over to another pub. And, then we walked all the way back up the river Thames. It was quite a nice little stroll, three miles back, home where we, well, we landed at another pub. And, so yeah, I, I, I'm okay walking, you know, those, little two, three miles, long as there's appropriate stops in between.

Craig (04:53.934)
Aww.

Craig (04:59.16)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (05:05.356)
Yeah. Yep.

Rob (05:10.049)
of those things. you know, it's get some Munzee along the way and just have a good time. And it was a it was a I believe it was a cruisy day Z crew day. So I was able to do a little maintenance. Yeah, so was good. So everything went well. Yeah, but a relaxing week, I suppose. And yeah, the usual, of course, with the work and trying to end and March and get ready for April. And yeah, we're having some fun.

Craig (05:10.153)
Exactly. Exactly.

Craig (05:15.512)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (05:20.931)
wow, so you do it twice? Yeah, yeah, nice.

Craig (05:28.717)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (05:32.782)
Yeah, of course.

Exactly, exactly. And we'll say happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there, including Lou. You guys do a great job, every single one of you. there we go. Mate, the events that we had last weekend was only two, one in Kansas and one in California, none around the world. The leaderboards, what were the leaderboards like on Friday?

Rob (05:46.063)
Indeed.

Rob (05:55.387)
Oh boy, Friday we start with a boof. I'm going with that. Two hundred and sixty four thousand in the Kiwi. Two hundred and twenty nine thousand and Munzee Prof. One hundred and seventy two thousand.

Craig (05:59.649)
You

Craig (06:06.894)
Kiwi's on the board, I'm proud, I'm proud. I mean, I know, I know I'll get hate for this if anyone's from New Zealand listening, but we say New Zealand is the most eastern state of Australia and they hate that, like Canada hates the US. But yeah, well done to New Zealand, Kiwi, 229,000, second place, well done. Saturday Rob, we had Tofu Girl in first place, 659,000 points. Munzee Prof, our bridesmaid again in second, 180,000 points. And then FRLK.

Rob (06:08.857)
Mm-hmm. It is.

Rob (06:16.475)
out.

Craig (06:33.614)
with 155,000 rounding off the top three. And then on Sunday, Rob.

Rob (06:38.011)
Obikal with 400,000, Tofu Girl 172,000, and Coal Cracker 7 167,000.

Craig (06:45.95)
Wow, wow, wow. See some names are coming back in there, like Tofu Girl, Munzee Prof, Coal Cracker, they're always on the leaderboard, Rob. Mate, events are coming up this weekend. We have one in South Carolina, Missouri, Kentucky, Alabama, Texas, and New Jersey as well, and around the world we have.

Rob (06:53.018)
Yeah, they are.

Rob (07:03.429)
Well, we've got three in the UK, the toxin trio, I'll see you there, and two in Denmark, one in Finland, and one in Netherlands.

Craig (07:05.678)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (07:13.614)
I still can't believe Rob, we're gonna talk about this later on as well when it comes to the, catching you on the staff leaderboard, but you know, I can't believe, now all of a sudden, now all of a sudden, see, so you're welcome UK, I'm pushing Rob to events because he wants to keep his staff number one badge. It is, but it is a good event too, and that's what we have on the big events coming up, April 5th, Toxin hosting the three big events in Wolverhampton, West Midlands. Now, Rob.

Rob (07:29.413)
Hey, that's not the only reason. It's a good reason though.

Craig (07:43.328)
If you haven't marked your Will Attends, just get there anyway, because we need 50 people to turn up for this to become a mega event. And a mega event is 50 people. At the moment, Rob, it's 41. So I'm going to push a little bit to say, look, if you get there, get there. If you can, can get there. That'd be great to see. But also Toxin, he sent me a text message. Now you remember, Rob, I'm talking, a few months back now, Toxin sent me a message and he said to me, Craig, I'm doing some sort of thing different with the Munzee badges.

He's like building gadget caches sort of styles whereby you have to solve the gadget cache in order to open up and then scan the pin, the event pin. Well, that's one of them and one of them features me. I can't believe it features me, it features my voice as well. he said to me, he said to me, Craig, you can discuss it on your show. I'm like, well, hang on a second. Yours are on the April 5th and this show comes out on Friday. But anyway, if you're listening to this, then you get a heads up because he said, yes, I still can. So my one is my voice, it's voice activated itself as well.

Rob (08:26.32)
Hehehe.

Craig (08:42.988)
get to hear my stunning linguistics. But the code that you need to obtain is how many days ago that I downloaded the Munzee app. So you may be surprised about that. So that's all I'll say in regards to that. April 6th and 13th we have in the Netherlands some big events happening there as well. May 3rd is obviously the Munzee in Uranus. There's three events that are happening now. I'm attending that one so make sure you get there and make sure you play some cards out. What? What?

Rob (09:11.291)
See you there, Punk. Let's do this. Hey, listen, from our meeting last night, you think I'm not going to bring the battle? Come on. Let's do this.

Craig (09:12.302)
No. No. No.

Craig (09:20.266)
Wow, wow, wow, wow. See now Rob, didn't, I knew you were sort of onto yourself a little bit, but I didn't know that you wanted to be in Uranus. But anyway, let's move on. May 24th is Munstock and then June 7th and 8th is Ohio hosting SOS and I'll be at that one as well. Also June 7th and 8th is five events on the south coast of England. Wow, wow, England again. Good job. July 11th to 13th, four events in Western New York. Munzee Marathon up there as well.

Rob (09:28.763)
jeez!

Rob (09:43.461)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (09:49.838)
September 12th to 14th, four events over three days of Munzee Mania in Minnesota. So mark your attentions. Rob, there's only 13 marked attentions. And it's missing some big local players. When I say big, I mean big as in boisterous, big like Minnesota Boy, Minnesota Boy, Minnesota Boy. I haven't said his name on this show for a couple of weeks. And also the GCV, the Geocaching Vlogger. You guys, you haven't got your Willit 10s on there. Why not? Get them on there. If you're local and you're definitely going, get your Willit 10s on.

Rob (10:06.896)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (10:18.05)
So people know, the organizers know how many to account for. And then Rob, yeah, that's the exact, that's possibly true. January 16 to 18 in January itself is Munzey Mecca down in Florida. So get your airfares and everything in order for that. So that's the week that was and all the big events. Rob, what is coming up this current week? Well, firstly and foremost, there's been questions, Rob. Lots and lots of questions after the last episode.

Rob (10:22.491)
Their fingers were still frozen. I mean, they're just now thawing out. Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (10:45.738)
And the sticker studio came out as well. So have you heard some of the questions that come out from that Rob? I've got a couple for you.

Rob (10:51.867)
Um, yeah, I have seen and heard a few and yeah, I'm happy to answer them. We might as well. You ask me, I'll answer.

Craig (10:56.599)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (11:00.47)
Perfect, perfect. All right, the first one comes from Demick and he says is that, he, she, is it possible that the company Munzee uses for the great generic stickers that you have at the moment can be shared so they can actually send this file to them and then get that company to print them and post them to themselves, direct to us? Yeah.

Rob (11:19.366)
It's it's an interesting theory. The reason that we had a really good deal is quantity. So having people print 100 at a time, that kind of load is not what these print shops are made for. They're made for bigger things like that. Plus, if we were going to do that, then wouldn't

Craig (11:26.594)
Yeah.

Craig (11:35.619)
Right.

Craig (11:39.511)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (11:43.527)
I just have made the designs and printed them at these places and then sold them to everyone and shipped them to them. Honestly, as I've seen this question, I'm like, but you want me to like just give you the way to do it anyway. I get what people are saying, but the reason that we've done it this way is for speed.

Craig (12:02.06)
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Rob (12:09.765)
for players, you know, to be able to print at home instead of having to pay the shipping and for the sticker and then wait, you know, however many days it takes for it to get there. so I get what people are saying, but yeah, I don't think that it would work out like, we would hope.

Craig (12:10.432)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yep.

Craig (12:21.006)
I was-

Mm-hmm.

Craig (12:30.592)
Yeah. that's, leads into the other, the, another question as well, Robert, and that is, does Munzee still, provide the stickers in terms of, we still buy them from the freeze tag store? Yeah.

Rob (12:40.327)
yeah, absolutely. And this, is where it gets crazy man is I sit and look at it it's like, came up with some really cool new designs and it's like, if, if everyone is on board with, man, we really want this specific design then, do I get back into printing large quantities? Because you know that I print sheets of

Craig (12:51.287)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (12:58.243)
Mm-hmm.

Uhhhh

Rob (13:06.713)
the I mean, they start at 500. That's our minimum and I buy 10,000 at a time. Like if people were printing that kind of quantity, which you're not allowed to because you can't buy that money, then then it would make sense. But yeah, I don't necessarily want to get back into that market. But if if it is a popular thing, if everyone wants to have our quality stickers, because you know, I mean, I set the deal up 12 years ago for those stickers.

Craig (13:08.331)
yeah.

Craig (13:17.034)
No. Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (13:34.945)
Hmm. Yeah.

Rob (13:36.027)
When I found them and the original place that I found them is the kind of company that wraps cars like that's their main business. They take the vinyl, they wrap the car they you know, melt it down a little bit they put laminate on top of that to make it weatherproof. So those are the kinds of stickers it is possible for people to get similar quality. But

Craig (13:44.023)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (13:54.403)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (14:00.728)
Similar, yeah.

Rob (14:02.324)
not necessarily the exact same stuff unless you have more like a commercial setup or a commercial distributor.

Craig (14:05.441)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Craig (14:11.372)
Yep, Rob, then that again leads to the next question. That is what type of paper could be used then from these people? I mean, I've seen online on the water cooler and that as well, people ask about the Avery paper as well is probably one of the best types, the Avery paper. But what one thing not to do, this is one thing not to do. Don't just use normal paper and then use sticky tape or what do you call it in America?

Rob (14:21.467)
Yeah.

Rob (14:27.642)
I'm

Rob (14:36.501)
Yeah, just we clear tape or packing tape is another word for it.

Craig (14:39.128)
clear tape, packing tape, yeah, do not use just plain old paper and packing tape and stick it around a pole. That will not last, that will not work, that's not that good. Whereas the Avery paper is semi-resistant to the elements too, so.

Rob (14:56.151)
I'm going to be testing it myself. I'm going to buy some. I've known that this was happening for quite a while, many, many months. And you'd think that I would have been smart enough to have done that. However, the actual printing, you know, piece of real generic code so that I'm not just wasting money that is in the last month. anyway, I'm going to be in Florida. Easter break is coming up for

Craig (14:59.115)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (15:03.648)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Yeah, yep.

Craig (15:24.483)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (15:25.177)
family here. So gonna be in Florida, actually next week. And so I'm going to get some of those stickers, I'm going to do some field tests myself in the Florida sun. We'll set it up and see if they work well, which I'm hoping that they will because Avery labels are, you know, highest quality. Yeah, then, then yeah, I'll share that information with everyone for sure.

Craig (15:34.06)
Nice. Yep, yep, yep.

Craig (15:41.806)
crossing fingers. They're good, exactly.

Craig (15:48.896)
Mm-hmm. Yep, so stand by and wait for Rob to do some testing. And nothing stops you from doing your own testing. Remember, you can use the non-non-generics, in other words, the ones, the QR codes that attach to your account to place greenies for yourself out there, because you can cap your own greenies if you're premium member. You can place your own greenies using non-free generics and do your own testing in the field as well and see what works for you.

That's our best advice from here, there in regards to the printing and the new sticker studio. Other than that, Rob, if you don't have any of those facilities and you don't have the time, you don't have patience, and you don't wanna wait, you don't want the new designs, then still get the normal stickers, the generic stickers through Freezetag Store. They're still available. So there you go.

Rob (16:35.983)
We are not canceling stickers. Stickers are our thing. We will continue to produce and sell the same stickers that we have for the last 12 years.

Craig (16:39.246)
No. Yes.

Mm-hmm.

Exactly, Alright, moving on now throughout this week, a brand new modern myth come out, the Loki Rob. Tell us more about the Loki.

Rob (16:57.051)
Oh, Loki the prankster. Loki, man, this was actually a really fun one for all of us to talk about, you know, and come up with what it was going to be like, and launching it on the at the international timeframe of April Fool's Day with him being a trickster. So $20 in the freeze tag store. This is a permanent bouncer. The deploy points are 250 capture is 200.

Craig (17:05.336)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (17:13.902)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (17:21.09)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (17:24.347)
cap on This is the same as the other modern myth. Pops, that's what he fits into the line of modern myths. So that's like Poseidon and Aphrodite and the others. He just happens to be a Norse god, I believe. So that's, that's where that one comes from. you can use an upgrade credit. Would you like to tell them about that? okay, cool. I was gonna say, where are we?

Craig (17:29.954)
Mm-hmm.

Yep. Yep.

Craig (17:38.094)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (17:44.621)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (17:48.568)
Well, before we get onto that, yep, before we get on that, because I will say, I will say, if you haven't seen the new Loki as well, have a look. I will shout out the geocaching vlogger. He loves his name read out on the Munzee podcast. So the geocaching vlogger, that's the third time I've said it, this podcast. He did, he did post on all his social media that he loves and adores the actual artwork. So a big shout out to the artwork in regards to the Loki itself. It looks really, really cool. If people don't know, he did, he did. What?

Rob (18:14.807)
Andy did a great job. Guess what? There's a badge. There's always, there's a badge for him, but it's a secret, but there is also one of those daily challenge badges. Who's going to find it first? It's tricky.

Craig (18:19.305)
there is! Always a badge. Always a badge.

Craig (18:28.126)
if you do find the new daily secret. I wonder who's gonna be the first poster on the water cooler. We'll soon see. Also, if you're brand new to Munzee as well, this is a Pob, a P-O-B, player owned bouncer. So you own the bouncer and you own it for life. That's right. That's why it's $20. It is expensive, but this was what they are. All player owned bouncers last for the entire life and they bounce around.

Rob (18:37.861)
Get away.

Craig (18:56.662)
the map the entire life. Some new players have reached out, Rob, and said, look, mine's in the middle of the ocean, what's it doing there? It's at a train station, it's at a bus stop. That's because sometimes they need a little break and wait for, or they need a pool, if you like, and wait for magnets. So people, if maybe people use magnets on different Munsies.

they need a little pool there ready to drag them over for the magnetization as well. So they do spend some time out in the ocean at some point in time. So don't worry about your bouncer drowning. It won't, it's okay. It's waiting, it's waiting. that's it. That leads me now into Rob, the upgrade credits. Wow, I saw this now as part of it as well. this, upgrade credits have always been there, but they've never really been spoken about. So I thought to myself, why not? Why not let Rob explain a little bit more about the upgrade credits and how you can do it?

Rob (19:24.923)
you

Craig (19:44.396)
Basically, upgrade credits is a way to give your bouncing Munzee a power up. So it's an actual bouncer upgrade credit. The credit item can be used on your bouncing Munzees. When the credit is used on your bouncer, it will have the ability to be nudged to a new Munzee. So if you're watching your bouncers and you see your bouncer there, it's like, it's been there for three, four hours. And then you look at where it landed. It's landed on a tree house, for instance, and that player has already capped the tree house during the day. They're not going to cap it again.

you can then nudge it, you can nudge it to a new Munzee. Is that right? For free, yeah, exactly, exactly. You can only nudge it up to three times per Munzee HQ day. So a 24 hour Monday Headquarters day, MHQ day. And you can only nudge it after it's sat for three hours plus. So you can't nudge it straight away. You gotta wait for the three hours and then, that way it gives other players, not just the owner of the tree house, a chance to cap it as well before you send it away.

Rob (20:17.851)
For free? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (20:43.246)
The bouncer upgrade credits can also this is what interested me Rob They allow you to rename your bouncers so you can rename but but remember you still have you you retain the unique number is still in the actual bouncer name So the unique number of the the Munzee type is still there But get creative and customize your myths Name, but keep in mind player code of conduct family friendly environment now, I will say this and that is

Rob (20:50.917)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Craig (21:12.852)
If you've deemed not have a family friendly name to your bouncer and you've done this, be prepared to just lose that bouncer. Is that right Rob?

Rob (21:21.051)
that seems fair to me. Yeah. Violation of the Code of Conduct? Yeah.

Craig (21:24.653)
And then the bounce just disappears and that's it. yeah, so please, be, yes, please. It will drown. So please you be family friendly. Please be mindful of it. Most people I dare say Rob will be like me and we'll just literally use their name. You know what I mean? As you know, see my shell, see my shell Loki, you know, and that way brings attention that way too. So this upgrade credit can be used on all myths.

Rob (21:28.057)
really weird permanently in the ocean with concrete shoes.

Craig (21:51.648)
Mipmagu and Primitus as well. So did I say that right? Pimitus? Pimitus? Primetus? Pimitus? Pimitus? Tell me, I'm sure Sam will let me know either way, so he always does. So Rob, when do these, when do these upgrade credits come into play?

Rob (21:55.119)
Yeah, Pemides, Pemides, yeah, it depends on the person. yep.

Rob (22:07.457)
what do you mean? When did we come up with this? Yeah. So many years ago that I don't remember all the details. Yeah.

Craig (22:10.112)
Yeah, like years ago when they first, yeah, yeah. Exactly. Exactly. And I was surprised to actually, because for once Rob, I actually read through the blog post. That's what it was. went, upgrade your bouncer? What?

Rob (22:21.059)
Yeah.

It gives an upgrade, gives additional landing pads. does quite a few things that, you know, we think is worthwhile. Upgrade credits are $5 in order to apply it to a bouncer. There's quite a few bouncers, but nothing that's temporary. None of those kinds of things. And hey, why not just go ahead and tell people that we're having conversations about, are there extensions that we could use on this bouncer?

Craig (22:29.122)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (22:38.412)
Mm-hmm. Yep.

Rob (22:54.533)
credit, this upgrade credit. I mean, we're always having conversations about all kinds of crazy stuff, but that's coming soon. But yeah, yeah, we're thinking about this. Any suggestions, people? Let us know.

Craig (22:55.827)
We are. Yes, yes.

I won't, I've had suggestions. I've been out there, as I said, I'm a voice of the players as well. And trust me when I say that I've voiced my opinion on several things in the last few couple of weeks and things have been listened to and things may be changing for everyone out there. All I'll say is, especially if you drive cross country, for instance, and you're sick and tired of, you

Rob (23:25.993)
Hahaha.

Quality of life improvements are very much on the way.

Craig (23:32.11)
Exactly, exactly. So we'll leave it at that for the time being. Meanwhile, Rob, new prank greeting cards have come out as well.

Rob (23:35.429)
That's what I can say. I'm very much on the way. Yep.

Rob (23:43.663)
Yes, they have just a couple new ones. You know, the old ones are back and yeah, we're we we talked about the fact that we always, you know, had enjoy having fun on April Fool's Day. So prank greeting cards are part of that.

Craig (23:45.037)
Yes, a couple of new ones. Yeah, yeah.

Craig (23:56.076)
Yes, yep. They're part of that as well. So again, get your prank greeting cards from the freeze tag store. If you love the flat cats, Rob, I dare say you will love the prank greeting cards, especially because they're purrrfect as well with the purrrito. Meanwhile, Rob, during the week, not now because it's finished, but during the week we had April Fool's Day, the first of April. It came out and you came out with these penny pinches. Tell us about the penny, what happened with the penny pinches?

Rob (24:10.639)
Aren't they though? Yeah, yeah, that is true.

Rob (24:25.869)
Yeah, so you know, we just talked about the pubs, player and bouncers, pobs. The penny pinchers are the one of the other types is called a mob Munzee owned bouncer. So these are bouncers that go around the map. And and actually this one, now that I think about it, it's not a mob, because it doesn't bounce. It's a one time we call it a mob. Wow. Interesting.

Craig (24:30.824)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Craig (24:39.246)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (24:46.666)
No, it doesn't bounce. Yeah. Yeah, it's not a mob.

Rob (24:51.501)
We we have specifically called this a flash mob in the past. Whenever we on April Fool's Day, we put pillows out and flamingo feathers scattered out of those. We flocked to the map with flamingos themselves. So anyway, this time it turns out that Loki beat us to the punch. Loki has gone around and he has used bubble gum to stick these prank pennies.

Craig (24:55.552)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (25:01.068)
Amigos, Feathers, yep.

Rob (25:19.173)
to every greenie that's out there. So when you go to cap the prank penny, then you or pinch the penny, I suppose is what we actually called it. But when you do that, then you get either a lucky penny, which shows Cappy's head or you get a prank penny, which shows Cappy's tail. So heads or tails. If you get heads then and that lucky penny, then you also get one Zed from it.

Craig (25:21.645)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (25:36.61)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (25:41.25)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (25:47.554)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Rob (25:48.663)
And bad news for everyone who's listening to this, it's already over. It ran from the first through the third. So if you missed out, you should have been playing every day, play every day.

Craig (25:52.884)
Exactly. So it's already done. Exactly. And not just that as well. I will say that a lot of people reached out on the water cooler during the timeframe and said that they love the fact that because they've built their own, because they can cap their own greenies every single day, they've built their own greenie walks. And so now Rob, this made their own greenie walks more enjoyable. So a lot of thanks to Munzee for that as well, because they could cap it twice.

cap it with the penny off it and then cap the greenie underneath and do that every single day. But once you cap the penny, the penny's then gone for everyone else as well. So the pennies are visible for everyone. So first in best dressed in regards to that. The other thing they said was with the 1Z, it is 1Z. If you're lucky enough, you get 1Z or some people have said it's 100 zents.

So it's either one Zed or a hundred Zents. So it depends on which way you look at it. So I knew you would, I knew you would. All right, I hope everyone enjoyed the April Fool's Day prank that I know I did Rob, even though with my ankle, I still did a little walk around here in one of my rest stops and got a couple of Zeds myself. So that's pretty cool. Meanwhile, Rob, whose team, whose team are you on good sir? Are you on?

Rob (26:44.901)
Bye.

Rob (26:48.827)
I like that. That's good stuff. Impressive.

Craig (27:12.676)
Team see my show or team coach fee

Rob (27:15.683)
I am on the team, Coach V, the team, Coach V. I will say after the podcast last week when you were, look at me on a couple of things, I did have a few people that reached out to me in the correct way, which is via deploys, saying, hey, Rob, we're part of your team. hey, I mean.

Craig (27:17.294)
Hahaha.

Craig (27:24.237)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (27:36.366)
No, no, really. I'm going to have to stalk your map. If that's the case, I am going to have to stalk your map and see who they are. And I will not deploy. I'm only joking. You know, I deploy for everyone.

Rob (27:45.079)
I mean...

I mean, you were new friends, new friends with one of the people, you know, who really, if you look and you find the names of the names of the deploys, they're actually very entertaining because it's like, so sorry, buttering the other side of the bread, know, for, yeah, from us talking about this person last week on the podcast. Yeah. So, it was very fun.

Craig (27:52.524)
stirred up the hornestness.

Craig (27:59.83)
I'm gonna look, I'm gonna stalk. Yeah.

Craig (28:09.326)
wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Well, if you are team, okay, if you haven't heard it, if you missed it, that's fine. What's basically happening is Rob has been the number one staff member the entire time. He's always been the leader of points and all of sudden now I'm new to the staffing team. I'm catching Rob slowly but surely. And so I was asked if my, if my,

play for Munzee, if my enjoyment of Munzee has gone down, now I'm off the leaderboard and I said no because I am trying to catch Rob. That has gone off like wildfire and so that's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to look at catching Rob and I wanna overtake Rob as the number one star for the first time ever. First time ever Rob would be in the number two position. So that's what it's about. So far we're at Rob, what we've done as well is I've got.

Rob (28:53.403)
Hmm.

Craig (28:59.96)
Team shirts now in the freeze tag store. See if you want to be Team T-Michele or Team Coach V. So they're all for sale now. So team shirts are for sale in all different sizes. They all are black in color only, but it does have the different colors on the back in terms of the team colors. It has the flat hat.

Rob (29:02.821)
Hahaha!

Rob (29:15.577)
Are you? This is too funny.

Craig (29:18.158)
It has the flat hat on the back of the see my shell. It's got the flat Rob on the back of the team coach V. And, it's also got the little Munzee, the real, brand new Munzee logo too on the, on the front as well. So it's also got the Munzee logo on the front. So that's pretty cool. Get yours now. Also, if you're, if you're there, you know, deploying for Rob, just remember I know how to look and I know who you are. I'm joking. But if you want to deploy for me, you don't know where I live because I live mobile.

Rob (29:28.667)
That's cool. All right. Good.

Craig (29:44.418)
have a look at my recent caps of an afternoon and you'll see the rest stop, the cracker barrel, you'll see exactly where I am overnight. I have had a few cards here and there pop up and I do appreciate every single one of those cards that pop up and thank you so much for doing so. I know you are on team, see my shell. I know one player who's gonna be torn, Rob. And that's PJ, I think is gonna be torn. Although I think he may be team coach V just saying. So.

Rob (30:04.699)
Hmm.

wow.

Craig (30:11.66)
I think I've riled him up a bit too much more than you, but anyway. So that's it. Are you team C-Michelle or team Coach V? Get your shirts now in the Freestag store and also deploy for either one of us as well to show your support as to who you want to be the number one staff member of the Munzee team. So there we go. Rob, moving on now to the question of the week. And this one came from the app itself and Udak reached out to me from California. She asked,

Rob (30:14.843)
I believe so.

Rob (30:20.953)
Ha ha ha.

Rob (30:30.927)
Love it.

Craig (30:37.73)
Has MHQ ever considered including the premium physical Munsies to the daily cap list for premium members? Because aside from the color, they act just like a greenie.

Rob (30:48.015)
Hmm. no. Well, have we ever considered that? I suppose it is on a list of here's a bunch of munchies that we could make daily caps. However, at this point in time, all that we've done is just said, let's leave it as POIs and, greenies, no real discussion about when should we add more and what should we add? So I think,

Craig (30:56.353)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (31:06.552)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (31:15.087)
This one does make sense. It's probably one of the lower numbers of, of deploys out there because, you know, I mean, everyone doesn't deploy their premium Munzee unless we give them a reason to. So this would be a good reason for people to get their premium Munzees out there. I like it.

Craig (31:16.44)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (31:20.002)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (31:26.104)
Yeah. Yep.

Craig (31:31.022)
Munzee app, exactly. There we go, thank you very much for that, Udek. If you have a question of the week, please reach out to me in any of the social media apps itself or the actual Munzee app as well. I'm happy for that too, so there we go. Rob, the tip of the week, I was gonna do the tip of the week in regards to trying the upgrade credits. What do you think about trying the upgrade credits? Or the tip of the week would be to deploy for me please, deploy for CMyshell wherever I land, that's the tip of the week, deploy for me. No.

Rob (31:54.009)
That's a terrible tip of the week. Terrible. would say try the upgrade credits. I like that. That's fair for both of us and and you know, just choose wisely. Everyone choose wisely and and I'm talking about choosing wisely with the name of your pop, obviously. Yeah.

Craig (31:59.982)
Try the upgrade. Yeah. no. Okay. Okay

Craig (32:11.71)
Yes, yeah, exactly, exactly. And if you're torn, I'll be honest, if you're torn, you're like, you know what, I love Rob and I love Craig, I love them equally, or I hate them equally, either way. Deploy for both of us, deploy for one of you, so that's how you do it. Rob, guess what, mate, this ends another official Munzee podcast.

Rob (32:21.305)
