[intro music]
Annika: Welcome back! We have just had a break! Luciano: We're back!
Annika: Or not? Have we? You wouldn't even know?
Luciano: Did we have a break? Annika: We're wearing the same clothes...
Luciano: Who knows. Annika: Who knows.
L: It could be 3 days later. A: Do you know what we're talking about - have
we just worn the same clothes since 3 days ago?
L: Yeah. A: Do you know what we're talking about? Have
you watched the first one, or are you just really confused right now?
L: Go and watch part 1. A: Mmhm.
A: We're waiting for you. Go. L: We'll wait.
A: We're continuing the weirdest make thrift buy suggestions of all time, in this new segment
called "Make Thrift Why?" L: Whaaat?
A: Luciano is here, he hasn't seen any of these -
L: Yep A: So he is seeing them for the first time
- L: Unfiltered reactions.
A: So let's get started on this first item. [silence]
L: Okay - A: [laughs] why'd you just stare at me?
L: [laughs] A: [laughs]
L: What. A: I - I think the joke on this is - is the
best. L: Yeah! [laughs] I love that!
A: Yes, finally a swimsuit that allows me to sneak a ham poolside.
L: [laughs] A: But also, it looks like it's made out of
jeans! And like, who wants a denim swimsuit? Nobody. But - I mean - there's so many things
about this - when you go swimming, and that arm gets wet, it's so much fabric, it's going
to be really weighing down that side of your body. And when you get out of the water it's
just going to be so heavy and gross and wet and clammy -
L: [laughs] Mum - I'm really excited about our trip to Cancun but, I'm worried about
what people will think about my one monstrous lizard claw.
A: Awwww. [laughs] L: And then - and their mum makes them a special
swimsuit. You know what - if you have a monstrous lizard claw, just wear a normal swimsuit.
Other people - that's other people's problem. A: Yeah, that's other people's problem.
L: If they don't like your lizard claw. Don't cover it up with denim!
A: Nope.
A: Oh, um - so L: [laughs loudly]
A: These are, these are by Rhianna - L: [laughs] What?!
L: These are by a stoned, middle of the night Rhianna -
A: [laughs] L: "What if I chopped my tracksuit pants in
half?!" A: I dunno, they're kinda cool. Because they're
so wide-legged, it looks like, it makes your legs look like bones...
L: I love them because they, they get rid of everything you want from tracksuit pants.
"Do you love the look of tracksuit pants, but hate how warm and comfortable they are?"
A: [laughs] L: Chop the middle out!
A: Do you wanna show off a very specific section of your, your lower upper leg?
L: They also look like they would deteriorate immediately.
A: Yeah, the edges are raw, as well, they haven't hemmed them or anything -
L: Yeah, the edges are raw because Rhianna made this at 4 o'clock in the morning.
A: [laughs] L: Is why.
A: You think that she individually cut all of them?
L: I think there is one pair. [Both laugh]
L: And no one has bought them. A: It's um, it's 114 pounds.
L: Of course it is. A: [laughs]
L: Arhhhhhhhh. L: I should clarify - if any of you people
really like wearing these things, good for you and go for it.
A: Yeah, go for it, for sure! L: Don't worry about -
A: Don't worry about us making fun - L: - we dinkos think.
A: [laughs] Us dinkos? L: We're just a couple of squinks!
A: We're just a couple of d- squinks? L: Yeah.
A: I hope that's not an offensive term somewhere. L: Oohh - I hope not. If that's offensive
in your language, I'm sorry, I just made it up.
A: We're just a couple of dinkos. L: Yeah. Of doinkuses.
A: Doinkuses. [laughs] L: Alright. Next-o.
L: Awwwwww. A: [laughs]
L: Teeny tiny little phone. A: I don't know what this is supposed to be!
L: This is not clothes - what is this? A: I don't know, someone sent it to me - they
said, please do this for a make thrift buy episode.
I'm not - is it supposed to be functional? L: It's amazing - like they're quite tiny.
A: I think it's for a dollhouse? L: Ahhh. Maybe it's like, for - it's Barbie's
iphone. A: It must be like Barbie's iphone.
L: Wow - they're quite incredible, actually. A: Yeah. [laughs]
L: It looks like you'd have a hundred of them in a bowl of cereal, you know it's like iphone
cereal. A: [laughs]
L: Chomp chomp.
L: Yeah. Well - those are some real small phones.
A: [laughs] L: Not practical, I would say. Oh hang on,
I'll just google it.
A: [laughs] You need a magnifying glass. Put it under a microscope.
L: Yeah, and a pin, to press the - [laughs]
L: Oh, come ON! I don't know why, but this is the one that really annoys me.
A: [laughs] Well, I mean like the point of cowboy boots is that they like protect your
feet and they're nice and sturdy, right? L: It's for people in very very cowboy
boot-heavy areas, you know, it's for that one hot day each year in Montana or something.
[both laugh] A: It just looks like a really nice pair of
vintage cowboy boots that have just been - destroyed. L: Yeah that's - that's the thing, and just
the wear - the way he is wearing jeans with them like they're normal cowboy boots. This
dude was just like, argh, the tops of my feet get so sweaty in my cowboy boots!!
A: [laughs] I think they needed to discover moisture-wicking socks, rather than just cutting
up their boots. L: Yes, agreed. Yeah.
A: So if you thought these shoes were impractical -
L: [groans] Ohh! A: [laughs]
L: What. A: Get ready for a whole new world of fashion
L: What is it. Yeah. What is it? L: Oh. They're -
A: These are from Gucci. L: [laughs] They're $1800!!!
A: They're made out of goat hair, Luciano. Goat hair. Of course they're going to be expensive.
L: they look like Chewbacca. A: [laughs]
L: Both of them. A: Cute.
A: I think they would be really uncomfortable. Like don't they just -
L: yeah A: Wearing wigs on your feet. It's like wearing
little wigs on your feet. L: One rainy day and you'll smell like wet
dog for the rest of your life. A: Oooff [laughs] you would not want to walk
through a puddle with these. L: Or wet goat, I guess.
A: [laughs] A: how itchy would your ankles be?!
L: mmhm. And yet - this person has decided to wear them without socks!!
A: Oooh - oof - and rolled up jeans. L: Again, I love the casualness of like, roll
up your jeans to show off your Wookie feet. A: [laughs]
L: Well - A: hashtag, upcycled. Hashtag DIY-for-life.
L: [laughs] they're made out of real Levis. That is... a waste.
A: Yeah. [laughs] Well, I think that the rest of the Levi's went into that hideous jacket,
the melted jacket - L: Right.
Past Luci: What?! Past Annika: [laughs] Yeah.
A: These are the matching shoes. L: Let me guess - they're like $700. I don't
know. A: Probably. Let's look that up.
L: I don't even want to know the price.
[sighs] Why are all these things so expensive?
A: They're only - $69! L: For - compared to the other weirdo jeans,
reasonable. A: Ooh look, there's some - oh
L: Oh they've got - A: Miley Cyrus.
L: Miley Cyrus wore them of course, I'm surprised they're only $69 if Miley Cyrus wore them.
Bump that up to 600, don't you know how it works?
A: [laughs]
A: Oh yeah. So these are $585. L: [groans] Ohhhhh - as someone who has frequently
had to use electrician's tape on their own shoes, this makes me very mad.
A: They're "Distressed Superstar Sneakers". Don't you just - like - they're just acknowledging
how cool you are Luciano. L: [groans]
A: For having to tape up your $5 shoes because they got holes in them after you wore them
too much. L: [laughs] I don't know what to say about
this. It's - it's a poor person costume. A: Yeah, it's -
L: That's what it is. A: Yeah. Look how grimey they look, like -
L: I bet it's fake grime as well, I bet it's like $200 canned grime spray that they have
to spray on them A: Oh and I bet that the canned grime is like
really toxic and hazardous for the workers who have to make it as well.
L: What do the workers who make this - what could they possibly think?!
A: That the world is f***ed up. Correctly. L: hey! Hey! You can't swear!
A: I'll bleep it!
L: [laughs] A: I feel -
L: These are comparatively tame. [both laugh]
A: I know, after seeing all of the rest, you kind of are like, ah, yeah.
L: [laughs] yeah. My, my standards have been like -
[both laugh] A: I think they kind of look like a, a welcome
mat. L: Yeah. They do. Two little welcome mats.
A: Welcome - to my feet. L: [laughs] They look like, you know what
they look like they'd be good for? You know how you can, like I play that game with my
little nieces where they stand on top of my feet?
A: mm. L: And we walk around? That's what they'd
be good for. Comfy. A: [laughs] Yeah -
L: If someone else was standing on your feet. A: That's a very specific circumstance to
be wearing these sandals in - L: Well, I'm trying to be positive!
A: [laughs] Like, wait, wait, wait. You want to play that game where you dance on my feet?
L: Wait, I'll get my sandals. A: Gotta put on my sandals! Gotta put on my
specific sandals! L: They are faux fur, at least.
A: Yes, at least. Should I buy them for you for Christmas?
L: Nope. A: [laughs]
L: Buy me something good. A: We're getting there, we're getting there.
L: What is - what?! A: It's called, "Boobie Cutout Overwear".
L: well, the name is accurate. So - A: It's just been cutout, and then just left
to flop. L: [laughs] so, it's meant to look like you
were like, oh, my boobs! It's too hot! A: So sweaty!
L: Too hot for a sweater! Sweater was a bad choice. Give me those scissors please. Snip
snip snip snip snip. Oh, that's better. A: [laughs] Basically.
Oh, pre-destroyed clothes. Just - L: They're just - and they've left the edges
raw! A: Mmhm. It's cool to leave the edges raw
'coz then it looks like you've done it yourself. L: So strange.
A: I wanna see how much this one costs. L: The choice - the use of the word "boobie"
is very illustrative, I think, of the logic behind this.
A: $290. L: [groans] Ohhhhhahahaaaowww. My gosh.
[sighs]
I feel like the target market for this is people who don't know about the existence
of scissors. A: [laughs].
A: So here's this hoodie as well, for someone who doesn't know about the existence of scissors.
L: [laughs] A: Oh - it's also called "Bust Out high low
hoodie crop top". L: So the crop top is part of it?
A: No. It's just the hoodie. You wear it with a crop top.
L: [sighs] A: Wear it with the - with the Boobie's Out
Cutout Overwear! L: [laughs]
L: I'm freezing - except my boobs. [both laugh]
L: Like the rest of my body is cold and I need a sweater and -
A: Hey, you don't have boobs! They get sweaty! L: I - there you go!
A: I think these are practical! L: Yeah! All these things are just like, a
magic act. I'm going to cut a piece OFF of some clothing, now it costs more!
A: [laughs] yep. L: It's like Tapas. So we live in Sydney,
and a few years ago Tapas became really popular, but not like actual good Tapas like in Spain.
A: Mm. L: Just - basically -
A: It was like, we're going to make the food smaller, and put the price up.
L: Yeah. A: It's Tapas!
L: It's Tapas now! And it wasn't even Spanish food, it would be like, yeah we used to serve
fish and chips, now we serve it a little teacup - It's Tapas! Eighteen dollars, please!
[both laugh] L: We need to get back to the DIY spirit.
Cut your own clothes into pieces. A: Yeah, guys, cut your own clothes up, for
god's sake. L: I always cut up my own clothes!
A: Oh, you always cut like the - L: I always cut the collar out of shirts that
have an itchy collar. A: Yeah, because if you bought a pre-cut t-shirt
I would murder you! You know that! L: That's true. And the scissors would be
used for a different purpose. Murder. A: Presenting -
L: Okay... A: The cutout jacket!
L: [laughs] Whaa... A: So um, Luci, I was thinking - I was just
gunna get some scissors here, L: No!! No! Leave my elbows alone!
A: I'm just gunna - L: No, no!!! I love my jacket!
A: But don't you wanna be as cool as her? L: [laughs] She looks so bored.
A: She looks pretty sad, actually. L: She does look sad, she looks like -
A: No, lemme just cut these - L: No - stop!!
A: But Luci, we can make this jacket, which
probably wouldn't be worth very much - L: [laughs]
A: - we can make it worth like $500 or whatever this costs.
L: [groans] Oh my gosh. L: She has this new trend with models on websites
where they have to look like they've just gotten some really disappointing news.
A: I don't know if that's a new trend - L: Like, we're not going to Disneyland this
year. Take the photo now. A: [laughs]
Again - it's poor people's costume.
L: Yeah, it is.
A: Oh, so here we're getting into - L: This is -
A: - some nicer things, here. L: This is just a slanket!
A: It's just a slanket! L: I'd love you to make a slanket.
A: Would you like to look as cool as that guy?
L: He looks happy. He looks too happy, if anything.
A: Yeah, he's not looking like a sad model. L: He's kinda giving me -
A: I don't think he got the memo about the sad model.
L: [laughs] He didn't. He's kinda giving me the creeps, to be honest.
A: Can you see this one?
A: I'll close up-
L: It's just like a - distressed - A: Well, it's um, "moth-eaten", the idea is
that it's moth-eaten. It's just got holes in it.
L: [sighs] A: It's just like a nice sweater-skirt set,
that's been eaten by moths!
L: "Work faster, you moths!" [whip noise]
A: [laughs]
L: "We need to make a hundred of these jumpers!"
A: Those moths better be getting a good pay - they better be getting a living wage.
L: [British accent] "Please sir, I have to leave, it's moth Christmas!"
[both laugh]
A: I love the little accent you gave it!
L: "You know we don't respect your moth holidays here! Get back to work!"
"Keep eating those shorts!"
A: Yup.
[Both laugh]
L: Okay. Next.
A: This is a new hat. L: [laughs]
A: It's $50. L: This, as opposed to moth-eaten, is alligator
eaten? [both laugh]
A: Yeah - equal opportunity, they've got alligators at the factory too.
L: It was just dropped momentarily into a vat of piranhas.
A: [laughs] L: Oh no, my cap! I got it out, before they
did too much damage. [Phone noise] Bring bring, bring bring, "Hello, Hugo Voss? Yeah, it's
your cousin ... Louie Voss."
A: "Oh, hello! Yes, hello I haven't heard
from you for a long time, Louie."
L: "I've got that new look you're looking
for." A: "Yes, what is it."
L: "I dropped my lucky cap - you know my lucky cap that I always wore when we were kids."
A: "Yes your lucky cap, yes, mmhm." L: "I dropped it in a vat of piranhas."
A: "Ah yes - oh. Oh, it is going to be the next big thing, Louie, we're going to make
a million bucks."
L: [laughs] Louie!
A: [laughs] Wait, was your name Louie?
L: Yeah, it was! But it's just - like...
Was that even his name? Or was it - A: Is it Hugo Boss?
L: Was it Hugo BOSS? A: Oh yeah, it's Hugo Boss. Not Hugo Voss.
L: Well, I don't know. A: Who's Hugo Voss?
L: [laughs] We're just going to find his Linked In or something.
A: Hey, Hugo Voss is a person!
L: Hugo Voss... [bad German pronounciation]
absolvierte eine Ausbildung als Landvermesser in Wismar und...
A: I wonder if we could translate this. Oh there we go.
A: Okay, Hugo Voss - Hugo Voss was ah - he completed training as a land surveyor in Wismar,
[2x] and subsequently volunteered for military service in Schwerin.
He was a hunter and photographer.
L: Okay... A: So that's Hugo Voss.
[both laugh] A: Alright, I think we're on our last one.
L: [deep breath out]
A: You ready - oh. Second-last one.
L: Oh. I take back my deep breathing. [Breathes in rapidly]
A: Okay, so this was a suggestion that I didn't really understand - and I was wondering if
you could make any sense of it? So this is someone who said, you should make a peek-a-boos.
L: [laughs] Ohhh-kay? Like - A: Do you know what they meant?
L: The game you play with babies to teach them about object permanence?
[both laugh] L: I don't know. I can't help you.
A: Damn. If any of you have any ideas - let me know. 'Coz I wanna make a peek-a-boos.
L: Uhh - don't, don't say you wanna make something before you know what it is.
L: Okay. A: Alright, so this is the lucky last one.
Now, no one actually suggested this this one, but I went on twitter earlier today and um,
the internet seemed quite outraged by it.
L: Outrage? On the internet??!
A: No. Couldn't have been. L: I don't believe it.
A: [laughs] So this, here, um, is a Prada - now you might be thinking it's a paperclip.
L: Correct.
A: But it's not. It's a Prada Paperclip-shaped
Money Clip. L: [laughs] Great.
A: In other words, a paperclip for your money. And guess how much it is, Luciano?
L: I don't know - a thousand dollars? A: A hundred and eighty-five. Haha, a thousand,
come on. Don't be ridiculous! [both laugh]
L: Ohhhh boy.
L: Cool. $185 - who has this much just wadded
up cash that they need a dedicated money clip? Like, are there engineers working away at
the Prada labs being like, a simple paperclip will not hold the money together adequately!
A: The question is, how much money will it clip?
L: Yeah, I don't know. 185 bucks?
A: Yeah [both laugh].
L: Ah, that's depressing. A: But hey - it's made in Italy.
L: Oh, well I take it all back.
A: [laughs] You love it?
L: I love it. A: [laughs] Giovanni loves it.
L: Supporting the Italian economy.
A: [laughs] So um [clears throat] how do you
feel after that? I feel exhausted! L: [groans] Yeah, me too!
A: I - I don't - I don't feel like - I don't know. Maybe I'm just in a bubble where these
kind of things come towards me and I'm just seeing the worst of fashion, but I feel like,
I feel like 2017 has been a bad year for fashion. Or - fashion has just been trolling us this
year. L: Yeah. It's not the - I have no problem
with the wackiness, which is fine. I have a problem with the... minimal effort to maximal
price tag of all these things.
A: I have a problem with... most of this you
could just take a pair of scissors to a "normal" piece of clothing and make it for yourself.
L: I know, it's - yeah. That's the thing, is that it's this conspicuous consumption
like, "oh, I could have just cut my sweater open, but I paid $285."
A: And another thing that really bugs me about these is like, those sneakers. Like the -
L: Which - what - I forgot them already.
A: The sneakers with duct tape? L: [groans]
A: The idea with those, those $585 sneakers, I think, is to look poor. Is to put on a poor-people
costume. L: Yeah.
A: [groans] Arghhh! L: I'm not into it.
A: Not into it.
A: Uhhh. I feel... dirty [both laugh] I need
to - look at some nice clothes. Can you send in nice clothes for a while please guys? Like -
L: Just make a peek-a-boo.
A: I do just need to make a peek-a-boo. I guess.
L: Look - We're both going to go to the kitchen, make a quick peek-a-boo, eat it -
A: Oh no, no no no. That sounds like something else. I don't know what.
L: [Laughs]
A: Hey Luci, can you plug my merch? L: Sure, yeah, absolutely.
A: This came from our first episode together.
L: Eh, eh?
Eh? Eh?
Eh? Eh? Eh?
A: You're doing a great job of plugging my merch by just going, eh? Eh? Eh?
L: [laughs]
L: Eh?
Eh?
A: -- where can you get this merchandise, Luciano?
L: [sadly] Mmmm.
[happily] Ahhh!
A: [laughs]
A: Oh, hey Luci! Cool patch - where did you get it from?
L: Hey, who are you?
[both laugh]
A: I'm just a friendly stranger.
L: Well, thank you for inquiring after my
patch. It's my favourite thing I own.
A: Oh, is it? Can I have a look at it? It's great!
It says - don't tell them about the robo-sharks!
L: Huh. A: Where did you hear that quote?
L: Actually, I heard that on a fantastic youtube channel.
A: What is that called?
L: V Sauce!
[both laugh]
L: It's Annika Victoria, a quote, for the in-crowd.
Past Luci: Mmhm, and some of them are robo-sharks, mechanised.
Past Annika: [whispering] don't tell them about our robo-sharks.
A: And where can I get myself one of these?
L: Why, you can purchase one of these at dftba.com!
A: Ah, but I am worried - is it made in a sweatshop?
L: Absolutely not! These patches are produced in a WRAP-certified factory.
A: Great!
A: But seriously - buy my patches.
L: Mmhm. Yep!
A: They're really nice.
L: Produced in WRAP certified factory in China, available at dftba.com. Buy them.
L: And there's other ones, isn't there?
A: Yeah, there's other ones as well.
L: Yeah boiiii. [shuffling sounds]
L: [laughing] L: They can't see that!
L: Check it ooout! Check it out! And then there's - what. here's one!
Here's one!
Look
- look how cool your denim jacket could be.
Alright - and you don't even need to cut the
elbows out. A: Yeah - [laughs]
L: That's it dudes! A: That's it!
L: We're outtie. L: Click the bell to get - so -
A: - for some reason. L: So that - yeah, what's the new thing? You
gotta click the bell, so - A: Click the bell for some reason.
L: So that you're actually - you gotta turn notifications on.
A: Oh, so that you know if I post a video. L: Yeah.
A: Yep. Welp... bye!
A: Now hold. Freeze-frame -
[silence]
[outro music]
A: Oh --
Luci! Luci, un-freeze!
Un-freezeframe! Un freezeframe!
