Craig (00:00.43)
Welcome to the official Munzee Podcast.

Rob (00:04.525)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Muncie.

Craig (00:08.145)
And I'm Craig also known as Seemyshell, I started as an avid Munzee player, now proudly part of the team.

Rob (00:14.777)
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 (00:21.294)
So sit back, relax. Today's episode, Rob, we're talking called spaghetti, called spaghetti, called spaghetti, called spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti. Do you know that song? Do you know that song? Yeah. Yes. Oh, really? All the parents out there should know that song, Rob. They should know it's the Wiggles. It's the Wiggles, the good old Australian, Australian creation of the Wiggles. And yes.

Rob (00:28.721)
Hey, you get it. It's your turn to sing. It sounded familiar, however. No, I'm not 100 % sure, so.

Rob (00:42.161)
Yeah.

Rob (00:49.37)
Yeah, that.

Craig (00:49.582)
Yeah, I probably murdered it and everyone out there who knows the Wiggles go, Craig, that didn't even sound anything like it. You're terrible. Stick to just talking and do not sing. But, uh,

Rob (00:57.893)
Well, one or the other of us should probably sing every episode just to keep everyone sending in that request. No more singing.

Craig (01:06.538)
Exactly. Any, what do call it? Any, any feedbacks, good feedbacks. Exactly. Yes. Yes. That one. Actually, it'd probably be Josh the Geocaching vlogger because he wants to his name on the podcast. And there you go. He's mentioned it once already. So he'd be happy now. He'd be happy now. Mate, what have you been up to, buddy? What have you been doing months?

Rob (01:10.714)
Yeah, indeed. It means someone's listening. So thank you, single individual listener. We appreciate you.

Rob (01:23.185)
Excellent. Yeah.

Rob (01:29.615)
Well, it's possible that people can hear based on my surroundings. Well, they've changed. am not back home anymore. I'm in Florida. What? I am sweating in the sunshine state. That's for sure. So, yep. It's, it's Easter break, over in the UK. So, loaded up with, loose boys and have come over to visit my son.

Craig (01:34.765)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (01:39.254)
Yes, yes.

Craig (01:51.178)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Rob (01:58.481)
And yes, my other family are coming in. So yes, they're going to be hanging out here and join some sunshine. And I think that I'm actually going to go to a Munzee event this weekend. There's two of them here in Florida and they are not far away from me. And, you know, you and I have this little pretend pretend the competition thing, because it's not really, not really not really a competition for me. But, you know, it's all good.

Craig (02:01.535)
Nice.

Craig (02:09.844)
What? Whaaat?

Craig (02:16.504)
please, please. Yes.

Rob (02:24.753)
I do not, I do not lay down and just let people run on past me in case you missed that note.

Craig (02:31.934)
I know that. no, I knew that. I knew I was in for a battle. Don't worry. When I announced it, I knew I was in for a battle. Because Rob, at the same time, if people don't understand, if you don't listen itself, then the last few weeks, Rob and I have started a little, well, not Rob and I, just myself, I've started a little ding dong battle because I want to catch him on the official staff leaderboard and overall points. Now, Rob, I did contemplate not.

Rob (02:38.789)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (02:47.567)
Thank

Craig (02:57.934)
telling anyone and just literally sneaking up behind you but I thought what fun is that I'd rather enjoy enjoy this battle a little bit more even if it takes a little bit longer because in the end Rob I always get what I want just saying in the end doesn't matter how long it takes it will always happen so just a FYI exactly exactly

Rob (03:01.424)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (03:17.691)
Mm-hmm.

Slow and steady wins the race. Well, that is possible. You might wear me down from me just continuing to race and race and race ahead. You might. So that's good thinking. And yes, I definitely wouldn't have seen you blaze past me if you hadn't made sound on your way up. So thank you for making a lot of sound about it. That was good.

Craig (03:31.252)
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (03:39.79)
Mm-hmm.

No, you're welcome, you're welcome. And thank you to all the players, I'll quickly say as well, thank you to all the players out there. Rob, I've been getting cards at every single rest stop, every single place where I've stopped, because when I stop for the night, I place a little flat Aussie where I am, and I say, know, flat Aussie, and I put a little bed there, so it proves that that's where I'm actually sleeping for the night. And what happens when I wake up the next morning? Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, few little cards are around the bed, Rob, so, I know.

Rob (04:07.489)
how nice of those people who aren't doing that for me, but I also don't make it obvious where I am sleeping every night. So it's okay, everyone. I'm not insulted. No one's in trouble. It's all okay.

Craig (04:13.932)
No, exactly. And Rob, you did make mention a couple of weeks ago that there are people placing cards for you. And I will say that there was one player there who hasn't placed a card for me and he's definitely on team Rob. And I won't mention the name at all. But all I'll say is that if he asks me a Munzey question of the week again, it will not be transferred onto you. So he.

Rob (04:41.105)
Wow, we'll see if that person is paying attention. I bet they are. Yeah, I bet.

Craig (04:43.662)
knows who he is. But there have been a few Rob as well that have been co-existing between team SMS and team Coach V. Martez being one of them as well, she places a few cards for both of us each time too. So a big shout out to team Martez. Thank you very much for your support and your fun. Joining in the fun in this ding dong battle. Speaking of fun, Rob, speaking of fun, my last weekend I had so much fun. St. Louis. Now,

Rob (04:53.103)
Yeah.

Rob (05:05.712)
That's right.

Yeah

Craig (05:12.024)
there was an event in St. Louis, I couldn't make the event in St. Louis because, one, it was raining. It was pouring rain most of the weekend last weekend. I know, St. Louis, I know. It wasn't the very good weather, but I had a fantastic time. I did the arch, the St. Louis arch as well. I had dinner on the Mississippi River on a paddle boat on the Mississippi River. Yes, yes, yes. And finally, not finally, because I've done it before,

Rob (05:19.771)
Well.

Rob (05:32.612)
Really?

Craig (05:38.742)
I skydived St. Louis as well. I just jumped out of a perfectly good airplane. Why would you jump out of a perfectly good airplane, Craig? That's my voice of, you know, someone not approving of me skydiving. So, so yeah, even skydived as well. So awesome, awesome weekend. And of course, got a few months as well. was there too.

Rob (05:40.987)
Hey.

Rob (05:49.549)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow.

Rob (05:58.033)
I I hate to tell everyone, you know, why you had such a big weekend and jumped out of a plane and all that kind of stuff, but maybe it's because the calendar rolled around one more year on you. that right?

Craig (06:04.558)
Hahaha

Craig (06:11.114)
one more year or one more decade. I know you wait Rob next year for you.

Rob (06:14.065)
IE

Craig (06:24.27)
50

Thank you, mate. Thank you, mate. Yeah. Thank you, mate. Thank you. Yeah, 50, 50. never, I never. Anyway, I'm still not 50. I'm still having grasped the idea of a five zero, but that's what it is. Rob, the events though last weekend we had in USA, of course we had South Carolina, Missouri, Kentucky, Alabama, Texas, New Jersey, and around the world we had.

Rob (06:37.902)
Hehehehe

Rob (06:41.701)
I bet.

Rob (06:52.817)
In the world, we had three in the UK. I was there. Two in Denmark, Finland and Netherlands.

Craig (06:56.878)
What? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Awesome, awesome. The leaderboards obviously reflected the big events we had in the UK. Friday was Brasilia on 1.1 million points, Waves won 1.7 on 1 million points, and in third place, Herbie with 1 million points as well. Saturday, Rob, we had six millionaires. Do you wanna start? Mm-hmm.

Rob (07:20.741)
I do. I'm so excited about this because the winner of the day was our fearless leader at the events. Toxin, Toxin with 1.8 million. Congrats. Big, big round of applause to him. And I didn't say in my, what'd you do this weekend? All about the events, but a quick moment. Amazing.

Craig (07:42.52)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Rob (07:43.437)
He did some super cool stuff and I've got some videos and the good question is, will I get them out of my phone and will I get them out there into the world in the world to everyone else? I certainly hope so. Really great events. was nice to meet him and look forward to the stuff that he's got coming up in the future. I'm sure there will be more. So thanks, Toxin. Anyway, the rest of the people. Yeah, they were at the events as well because we've got the six millionaires, the Genie 18 with one point two million.

Craig (07:52.43)
You

Craig (07:57.656)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (08:08.258)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (08:12.763)
beat 1.1 million, Matmoo Soka and King Prawn 1 million points.

Craig (08:21.294)
Awesome, awesome to see. Rob, I will pause right there and ask you a little bit more in regards to the events because I'd planned to do this anyway, not in the show notes. But your videos, you said you had your videos, why don't you just send them to me and then I'll get them onto the Munzee channel, Rob. How does that sound?

Rob (08:36.689)
That sounds like a pretty good idea and the only way they might actually leave my phone.

Craig (08:38.872)
See, see. And the way that everyone can actually view them as well. To get ideas because as I said before, Toxin, we've said it before in the podcast, he's done a great job with these events. And there was one event there where the, correct me if I'm wrong, because I did not attend, therefore I lost points from you, I lost ground on you.

Yeah, the event pins as you go around to cap them, they weren't just normal QR codes on flags and you walk around. That's all good. That's don't get me wrong. I love that idea as well. But he had them in like, we classed as gadget caches sort of style where you had to do something in order to find the QR code before you before you cap it. You can't just cap and keep walking.

Rob (09:20.463)
Yeah, he, he, had quite a few that were that way. And one of the events, were three events, the one that was hidden all around East Park, was in different types of containers, but not, not all of them. So there were maybe 15 out of the 50 that, probably 10 of them were on rocks. So painted rocks with a sticker with the QR code on the back, which was really cool. And then,

Craig (09:33.496)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (09:38.358)
Okay. Yeah.

Craig (09:43.822)
yeah. Mm-hmm.

Rob (09:49.999)
that one of them was a little lock box. We had to have the number, which the number related to you and how many days you had been playing at that point in time. That was a lot of fun.

Craig (09:52.696)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (09:56.974)
Do you recall? Do you recall how many days it was?

Rob (10:01.457)
Uh 3190 something 99. There it was. There it was. I was like, I can't remember the exact. Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (10:06.682)
3999, 3999. So almost 4,000 days that had the app open.

Rob (10:14.245)
That's cool. So the, so we had that he had one that was, like, magnetic, like, kind of a joint box coming off of, coming off of a little building that definitely didn't belong there. And it's like, think that's what that is. another one was like a, an elbow joint for, irrigation, that was again attached to a metal object that it made no sense at all.

Craig (10:33.089)
you

Craig (10:44.334)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (10:44.497)
And yeah, there were a couple. I'm trying to think there were a couple of others, but yeah, it was, was fun to kind of watch other people go and look because Muncie Muncie players do not go searching for Muncie's. So you had to read the notes, but then in every single one of them, he also had a picture that was posted, just showing like this is where it is, or this is what you're looking for. And the air conditioning kicked on here.

Craig (10:54.753)
Hmm.

No, no, exactly.

Craig (11:03.598)
Mm-hmm. Yep.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Rob (11:11.089)
about whatever three or four or five minutes ago. if that sound is coming through and bothering everyone, my apologies, different location. You know how it goes. Yeah. Cool.

Craig (11:15.229)
No, no, not at all. Not at all, mate. Not at all, not at all. It's all good, mate. It's all good. Perfect, and so yeah, good shout out to Toxin. Good job on your events, making it very different and unique from others as well. So that's really cool. Rob, on Sunday we had Jbg on 781,000 points, Poppijoppy on 744,000 points.

Rob (11:27.832)
yeah.

Craig (11:38.19)
and fish a horn on 513,000 points. So big events, big points as well. And just so everyone know, we were talking to you before about you and I catching, me catching you. You streaked two million points further ahead of me after the last weekend. Oh, listen to that voice, listen to that laugh. Two million points.

Rob (12:05.105)
I was very happy with a toxin set up of his third event, which was ride the tram because, well, I rode, I rode the train in from, um, from home, rode the train out to Wolverhampton. So I was able to cap all along that. However, there's actually not a lot of Munsies that are deployed on that train line that I had taken. So once I got to Birmingham.

Craig (12:10.606)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (12:16.11)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (12:21.09)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (12:25.728)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (12:29.093)
that changed completely because he had built gardens basically at every little tram stop. There were small gardens, a hundred pins or whatever. And then there were cards on top of all of those. I think I had more than a million points just in cards. However, I may have been running double point booster. so, you know, that's definitely part of it. It was amazing. Thank you to all the players out there around the world who helped.

Craig (12:32.791)
No.

Craig (12:37.26)
Wow.

Craig (12:48.035)
Yeah.

Craig (12:53.335)
Yeah.

Rob (12:57.509)
build those gardens and make them what they were so that those of us who were at the events could have a good time. One of the events did go mega. So that was a good thing. We did make it to 50. Yeah. So it was really cool. Big deal. Yeah.

Craig (12:58.306)
Yeah.

EY

That's awesome. That's really, really cool. So congratulations to Toxin. 50 makes it to mega exactly. Rob, the event's coming up this weekend in Florida, California, Missouri, Massachusetts, and Arizona and around the world we have.

Rob (13:19.649)

But also, I've got friends in Victoria. And I'm not sure what they're doing with their events, but come on, Victorians, you need events. You need more cake, you need more cake. Don't forget the big events coming up. Of course, this weekend in the Netherlands is the big event too, on April 13.

Please tell me you sir you have seen the badges

Rob (14:00.901)
Hehehehehe

Rob (14:19.707)
I have, yeah.

Craig (14:22.422)
I'll just say this and that'll be the butt of all jokes. Anyway, we're gonna move on. May 24th is Munstock. Now there's 39 Willattens. That's jumped up a couple of which is nice and cool. June 7th and 8th, Ohio hosting SOS at same time. Five events on the south coast of England as well. July 11th to 13th, four events in Western New York, the Munzee Marathon, Western New York. September 12th to 14th is four events over three days. Munzee Mania in Minnesota.

Rob (14:26.097)
I

Craig (14:50.926)
and then June, January 16th, 18th month in Mecca in Florida. Get your events in ASAP and we can start spruiking them for you if you wanna go big. Meanwhile, Rob, we're gonna move on to what happened this week in regards to, I'm gonna skip the little process, the brand new month, we're gonna skip that for a second because I need to ask you a question that I should have asked you last weekend because there's been and lots of chatter online regarding the return of the reseller.

Requirements for clan wars so capping reseller mungies people asking are they coming back? What's going on with them? You know? are they in clan wars?

Rob (15:28.097)
because they are a type of Munzee that we're not ever taking away. and you know, what better way to, continue to, to bring points in from an investment that players made over the years than to keep those types in play. So if everyone would like, we can change the name from, of Rums being reseller unique Munzees. We can switch it over to retired unique.

Craig (15:33.378)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (15:46.307)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (15:57.339)
munchies if everyone would like they are rums that that's that's you know, that's what I can tell you. The artwork shows a retired icon. I don't want to just like, hey, here's an entire set of munchies that are now completely off limits from using in any double point weekends or I mean, if everyone, everyone think about it that way, just a little bit.

Craig (16:00.355)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (16:08.067)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (16:18.754)
Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (16:24.677)
Then you're like, wait, that makes sense. I have played and I did buy stuff seven, eight, you know, five years ago. I would like people to continue to use that. I would like to have a reason to deploy these things that I'm still holding onto because some people are. and then for the new players, then obviously, no, you're not buying from a reseller, but if you'd like to change the name, you are buying a retired unique Munzee.

Craig (16:31.576)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (16:39.928)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (16:47.406)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (16:52.44)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (16:53.933)
If you will, so rums. That's what I've got for you.

Craig (16:56.69)
and and you can you can get them through the free tag store in regards to the What do call it? You can redeem in the redeem store as well. Yeah

Rob (17:06.319)
Yeah, there's a few, there's a few places where you can redeem. If there are people who are interested in like the different designs of the rumbots or any of those kinds of things, I put those back into the store. The name is the color, just so that, you know, they're there. the same thing with the night, the night Mac is in the store. So yeah, if people are interested in.

Craig (17:10.029)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (17:16.45)
Mm-hmm.

Yep. Yep.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (17:28.344)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Rob (17:34.597)
Getting any of the things that they maybe didn't in the past. we've got another idea or two that we're kicking around right now for, how to use these, in the future. And, you know, it's, it's, it's a thing of the past. The reseller program itself is not coming back, but, when, when we ended that and that was back, you know, end of October, early November, when we did that, I, I said like,

Craig (17:41.934)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (17:50.222)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (18:00.131)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (18:03.685)
this stuff isn't going away. And it may some of these things may transition over into like the you know, the freeze tag store. The bounty ships were the very first things that did come over blue and red bounty ships, they made it into the app fairly quick in the in app store. So anyway, everyone can expect to see these things from time to time, it'll it's it will end up being you know, like

Craig (18:05.336)
Mmm.

Craig (18:19.022)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yep.

Rob (18:31.875)
All the clan wars have been in the past where things rotate and rums are a thing and rums will continue to rotate in and out.

Craig (18:40.928)
And if you don't have any on you at all to deploy and you don't have any around you because you've already capped them, et cetera, as well, then I'm sure, Rob, that the Rumbots themselves, the mechs, count towards that requirement. So therefore, if you already have those Rumbots, you just build it with cogs. That's it. They're not impossible to get the point. remember, Rob is part of the player network and Rob builds these

Rob (18:53.264)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (18:59.428)
Mm-hmm

Craig (19:09.132)
these requirements to, especially the higher end, to try and push a few people to get to their higher levels because there is good quality in terms of the rewards. So the higher the level, the better the reward. yeah, and again, at the same time, if you can't get to level six, that's okay. You get to level five. You can't get to level five, that's okay. Get to level four. That's what the levels are exactly for, just that. All right, Rob, that's enough of that chat. I hope that answers a few of the questions from the water cooler over the past couple of weeks.

Rob (19:26.737)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (19:38.134)
Meanwhile we are going to talk about the new Spaghetti Evolution Munzey. First and foremost Rob, this is part of the new, or part of the evolution range is it not?

Rob (19:50.129)
yes, yes it is. similar to the pumpkin, some of those kinds of things. yeah. So this is a five stage, evolution Munzee that when it completes, sends out a bouncer and, all of the details about this are written in the blog. So the

Craig (19:51.395)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (19:56.14)
Mm-hmm. Yep.

Craig (20:03.224)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (20:12.898)
Yes.

Rob (20:14.565)
Best thing for everyone to do is not sit here, listen to us, take notes, and then hold us accountable to those notes. But instead, let me just give you the highlights. The, this bouncer will go out, after, 75 days, this runs on the same timeline as the pumpkin. So this is one of the longer, evolution, setups. So if you are looking for like Evo bouncer,

Craig (20:18.538)
Yes.

Craig (20:32.546)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (20:44.259)
points, then you would need to use a quick grow if you want to have those Evo bouncer points in April, or in May, because the bouncer itself, if you deploy this right now, the bouncer itself isn't going to come out until like 75 days later. All right. Yeah, so two and a half months in case that math isn't there for everyone. So yeah, you can use that quick grow credit and that quick grow credit will release one of the

Craig (20:45.059)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (20:52.234)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (20:59.63)
75 days. Yeah,

Rob (21:11.825)
One of the very interesting bouncers that have come from this.

Craig (21:14.446)
Well, that's it and that's what I gonna say as well There is three types of bounces from this as well. Just like all the other evolutions They've got different types about it's not just one particular one I mean with the B one as well Rob I like the B one you got the Queen B You've got the different bit, you know, you got all different ones the same happens with this one here You've got three different types of random random bounces will bounce around

Rob (21:30.362)
Yeah.

Craig (21:39.06)
Once they bounce around, they will be bounced around existing for 45 days or 10 captures in total, whichever happens first, at which point in time that spaghetti player-owned bouncer will then be archived. Don't forget as well, as Rob just said, when you put one of these out, if you want the bouncer released straight away, make sure you do use a quick grow on it. But if you use a quick grow on it, once it actually gets up to that stage four, the bouncer's already gone. So it will not release another one. You must reset it.

Rob (21:50.31)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (22:07.118)
At stage four in order to go back to stage one and start the process again Rob my tip out there for everyone is to actually try and get their resets go through their list as well to reset all their evolutions if they are top tier When I was in California with you Rob as well There was one player there who had never reset any of her evolutions Rob she had over a hundred ones that she could reset and can you imagine the bounces then like going onto the map from there for her so

Rob (22:29.955)
Wow.

Craig (22:35.438)
So I told her to do five, five every single month. You know what mean? If that's what it takes, that's what it takes. So get your evolutions out there as well because they are a good gameplay. Yes,

Rob (22:46.691)
And I will say that there's this excellent companion app called cup of Z that has the evolution bouncers where you can actually click on a button and Sam has it lined up and it tells you exactly what date you are able to reset that Evo. So you kind of can set yourself a little calendar and you know, if you've got a hundred, then that's, I don't know. Three.

Craig (22:52.82)
Yes!

Craig (22:59.246)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (23:03.36)
Mm-hmm.

Exactly.

Yes.

Rob (23:14.413)
for a day that you could do and you could get your daily deploy done from using a reset Evo credit. And then you're going to have that bouncer headed out there too. And it's like, wow. Thank you, Sam, for building that so many years ago. I actually used that tool myself watching the different things come to a point where they need to be reset. So it's good.

Craig (23:15.81)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (23:19.779)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (23:30.776)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (23:35.31)
Yeah.

Craig (23:40.678)
And you also watch that after a really good tutorial video that's out on the line as well in regards to how to do it too. that's another one. Hey, that's the one, that's the one. If you don't understand, still don't understand how to reset works, if you still don't, message me personally, either on my, the free tag email or on the app itself, and I will send you the link to the video, instructional video that I did a few, maybe a year ago or so, Rob, now, was a little while ago, when Sam, couple of years ago, first brought it in too, so there you go.

Rob (23:45.478)
yeah, I think that's the one, yeah, I think that's the one, you're right.

Rob (24:05.115)
Yeah.

Craig (24:10.286)
That's the new spaghetti evolution. One more thing with the spaghetti evolution. did see yesterday, Rob, people are asking why there isn't a spaghetti monster. And the reason for it is, because this wisp was brought up in the team, I will say it was brought up in the team, but it doesn't fit under the Munzee guidelines in regards to politics or religion. for that purpose, the spaghetti monster does not exist. So yes, yeah, that's very true.

Rob (24:23.621)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (24:33.541)
Yeah. So, you know, we've got a couple, we've got a couple of interesting little evolutions and kind of like the pumpkin has the pumpkin spice latte, you know, that bounces the spaghetti evolution. It turns into a couple of cool little things, couple little monster, if you will. So different, different, different type. Yeah. So all good.

Craig (24:42.698)
Yes. Yep.

Craig (24:48.942)
Exactly exactly very cool. Yeah, you can call him a monster if you wish it's up to you Exactly exactly. All right, Rob. Next up we have the traveling troops have now ended. They're all gone. They're packed up their their tents and they're on their way. So will they return later in the year?

Rob (25:07.377)
Yeah. See you later, Circus Freaks. no, I mean, oh, that's right. I was the leader of the troop, I believe, as it began. Yeah. So the, the one with the dancing monkey, it's, it will be back. Can I put a date on it? No, I can't because that's.

Craig (25:09.326)
You're part of it. You're one of them.

Craig (25:20.918)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (25:27.348)
No, no, that's okay. It just says later in the year. That's all it says later in the year. See, see, see how you do that Rob. See how you don't have to hold yourself accountable for the exact dates later in the year. exactly. Meanwhile, Rob as well, quick thing out there recently went out to, and that is the premium members can now purchase, we spoke about this last week, can now purchase a relocate credit for their tree houses or Skylands so they can move them rather than archive them and purchase a new one when they move house locations.

Rob (25:32.241)
They'll be back.

Craig (25:57.154)
And we're talking again, like we did last week, this is a permanent move. It's not a mailbox. It can't be used like a mailbox. It is just for those purposes of people moving house or residences, Rob. So that is now in place as well. And again, it's for premium members only. So basic members can't do it. It's only premiums. And that includes premium tree houses and premium Skylands too, the gold ones. can still, it's the same to move them as it does for the non-premium. So that's what it is. All right, Robert. Yep. What do you got to think for that?

Rob (26:14.641)
Yeah.

Rob (26:24.07)
Yeah.

Craig (26:26.346)
Any further on that one? No, that's it. We spoke about it last week. That's all good. That's all good. Moving on, Rob, to the question of the week. And this question comes from Jesse Wilson on the water cooler and it's a Wells Wells Wells Wells, more Wells chat again, because some people, Rob, on the water cooler, and I won't mention any names, but they post the same questions that's been posted four weeks ago, four months ago, a year ago. So this is one of those ones, but he had a little idea.

Rob (26:26.797)
No, I mean, you know. Yeah, good.

Rob (26:55.665)
Hmm.

Craig (26:56.314)
I feel like he believes that the reporting of the non-reachable wells is a little bit time consuming for the players themselves. So what he said, he said, players should be able to request a well at their location. And if the nearest one has zero caps, then it should automatically be removed and deployed at their location. Rob, what do you say in regards to that?

Rob (27:17.669)
Suggestion noted. No, thank you. We are not going to be rebuilding the code of this free wishing well element of the game, but I do understand. However, the app is really, really, really, really, really, really, really nice and easy in that you can long press on the map itself, get the link to where that Munzee is.

Craig (27:19.586)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (27:26.189)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (27:38.094)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (27:43.16)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (27:46.605)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (27:46.733)
without ever even opening the actual Munzee and then send in the support ticket. Like that's really, really quick. If you're online and for whatever reason you're scrolling around, you know, your 17 mile radius area and you're trying to decide which ones you're going to drive to. okay. Then, you can just like click, you know, without even opening it.

Craig (27:53.346)
Yep, that's it. Yeah.

Rob (28:15.353)
control click on it and get the URL and copy that into a support ticket. Like the, the, may seem really difficult. However, from my side, it would take longer for us to go through and rebuild. And if everyone wants us to focus on that, please send me a couple of messages and say, yes, please, please focus on rebuilding wishing well stuff instead of.

Craig (28:34.414)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (28:44.865)
For example, today, Apple Maps are broken and we got lots of tickets. so everyone now knows which day we recorded on. you, if you go back in time, 24 hours. so if you'd like for us to focus on that stuff, then keep on talking about it. That's what I have to say. We're not going to, so stop talking about it. You have a tool.

Craig (28:48.416)
Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. If you knew. Exactly.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

it's... Yeah, yeah.

Rob (29:11.003)
the get wishing wells. And if you don't like where the wishing wells are, we're probably not going to be moving them to specific coordinates. We are going to be archiving them. We are not going to get rid of all the ones with zero caps, all of the suggestions that you guys keep kicking around. That's okay. We hear you. This is not actual frustration with like, I'm so upset at everyone about all of this stuff. That's not what this is. This is me saying.

Craig (29:22.422)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (29:30.36)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Rob (29:34.935)
any chance that we could carry on with new conversations about everything else because wishing wells are here to stay. They will be clan requirements. They will come from time to time. They will ramp up at some point in the future because look at how many POIs you have to get. Do you think that if you're in a level six clan, there might come a time when you have to cap 300 wishing wells in a month?

Craig (29:40.866)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Rob (30:02.799)
the same way that you do 300 POIs, I wonder if someone is crazy enough to drive us all the way to that point. Because these can be half a mile apart. You can build a whole network, everyone. Just build a network.

Craig (30:12.014)
I will say, I was gonna say, you, if you build it, they will come. Like seriously, I mean, I know a good friend of the podcast, she listens every week as well. I think she's moved to South Dakota now as well. And she's made out her own wishing wells in her little suburb area because there was none around. And so she's done it every half mile. They're at every intersection of the roadway as well. on her day,

Rob (30:20.856)
Hahaha

Craig (30:40.012)
And she uses it, when I say correctly, she uses it as intended. And that is on her daily walks, when she walks the dogs, you see, she goes around and she walks to every single wishing well and she caps every single one around her blocks of her neighborhood. So a good job. And yeah, start doing it now. You've heard it here, people. These may be, people, I don't care. I caught myself. These may be ramping up by what Rob just said. I didn't even know that. So start your.

Rob (30:58.587)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Rob (31:07.621)
I don't even know that. I don't know that they're going to ramp up. I know that I am choosing to keep the numbers as low as I am right now because I personally don't have a ton of wishing wells in my town, but that's by my own choice. If I do this, then that means that you and I are going to have a hard time getting to level six if we even aim for that, right? So if I'm not traveling around, then I won't be getting it. You can, you've got a little bit easier. So like this...

Craig (31:09.236)
Start it now. Start it now.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (31:27.082)
right. Yeah, yeah.

Rob (31:37.305)
Please, please everyone. This is not brand new. We've had wishing wells out for more than a year now, more than a year. And for the conversation to still be happening about I don't have wishing wells in my area or they're in the wrong place or whatever. Are you serious right now? Rant over.

Craig (31:41.098)
No, over 12 months.

Craig (31:55.182)
That's it, exactly, exactly. And I will say as well one more thing and that is Eagle Dad and Xenia, he messaged me this week as well asking if they could be, for premium members and premium filters, when you cap a Munzee itself, even a POI, you cap it daily, it then gets removed from your map and he wants to know if they can be removed from your map. I told him no for the simple reason is that you can still make wishes in that wishing well.

It does come up with a red tick, but you've got to click on it to see if you've actually capped it for the day. So that's the only way they work. So sorry about that Gary mate. As I said, that's what's still staying for the time being as well. Meanwhile, Rob, we're running late. So running late. this is going to be a quick request as well. And that is, it's from Knightwood and it's a request slash I think it's a good request because it's also a bit of a pump up. He said to me, Craig, I've spoken to you before about my nephew, the Mach Man who is down under in Perth.

Rob (32:24.625)
Correct.

Craig (32:53.762)
today that when he messaged me was his 5,000 day as a Munzee player. 5,000 days as a Munzee player. He said, when I looked up when Munzee started, it started on July 1st, 2011. So the Muck Man must have joined in the first month. I thought this might be a good talking point for the podcast this week. Can anybody claim to be over 5,000 days as a Munzee player? Also a bit of fun for you is that at the same time, Rob, Coach V has been a player for

4,986 days, so less than what the Muck Man has been playing. And Lou, a few days less as well on 4,979 days as well. he said, it's time to celebrate. Nightwood has only 4,317 days. He said, but how about something special for players that reach these great milestones, like a badge or a reward of some sort of kind. He said, I really enjoyed your fun podcast with Rob. Hope you don't mind me sending this your way.

Rob (33:25.553)
Mmm.

Craig (33:52.302)
And at least you get to know it and thanks for a great game, Pete from Nightwood. that's not a bad request for a 5,000 day.

Rob (33:58.129)
Hmm.

Rob (34:02.097)
So here's the nice thing about the people who've already or are currently reaching 5,000 days. They already do have something really, really special. It's called the early bird badge. It's the people that were like the first less than 10,000, the first whatever 7,000 accounts.

Craig (34:07.789)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (34:13.166)
that's right. So they got the badge early. They got a badge when they first joined, yes.

Craig (34:26.531)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (34:27.723)
Guess who else is over 5000 points. He's probably sitting there saying it at while you're reading. was like, Hey, I've got more than 5000 days. I'm over 5000 days. You know who it is? It's Minnesota boy, Minnesota boy, Minnesota boy. Yeah. Yeah. He's he's he started playing the game before I did. And so yeah, to everyone, I know we're over time, but I, I was a player first, I found this game about a month and a half after it launched Lou.

Craig (34:32.814)
it is too. Yes. Wow. Wow.

Craig (34:52.728)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Rob (34:55.505)
Um, I did not know Lou. This is what a shocking. Yeah. Right. So, um, she found it, whatever almost 10 days, um, after me. Yeah. A week later, um, from her uncle who found it. So, yeah. And, um, anyway, yes. Would it be cool to do this? Yes. However, it would have to be like, we would have to do a little bit of work on this with is the player still active at 5,000 days? Not congratulations. You rolled your account to 5,000 days. So.

Craig (34:58.74)
Yeah.

No, a week, a week, a week later.

Yeah, yeah.

Craig (35:17.302)
Yeah. Active. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, and you're not playing anymore. Exactly. Exactly. That makes sense.

Rob (35:26.063)
Yeah, it would be interesting. It's like rolling a hundred thousand miles or kilometers on a car, you know, rolling the odometer over. It's like, yeah, look at that. so I agree. And thanks for pointing it out, Pete. good to hear from you.

Craig (35:32.414)
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yep. Yeah, exactly.

Craig (35:40.537)
Yeah, exactly. And congratulations to the Muck Man. 5,000 days as a Munzee player. And all the other 5,000 exactly, which I think you will be one of them very soon, Rob. You're not yet. Almost there, you're almost there, mate. Stick with this game and you'll get there very soon. Or Rob, ending up the Munzee tip of the week, and you've just said it before, and that is sending your support tickets with the codes, et cetera, for the wishing wells. Don't forget.

Rob (35:45.521)
and all the other 5000 clubs.

Rob (35:52.645)
I'm almost there, almost.

Rob (35:57.521)
Thank you. I'm going to try.

Craig (36:08.652)
Get your wishing wells sorted now. These are a free game piece. Yes, they're only 10 points, but they are totally free. Get it sorted, get your area sorted, get your map sorted now as well. So if you can't reach that wishing well, it's in someone's private property or someone's field, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, don't go to the wine cooler in regards to it, just go to the support ticket. So that's the tip of the week, Rob. And that ends another official Munzee podcast.
