What are the trends in consumerism discussed in this episode?
On this episode of the Commercial Break. You are willing to be a child star unboxing these gifts. And even then, this market is saturated. There are adults who unbox. I saw the boo-boo unboxing. You would have thought it was Kylie and Kasey. was not Kylie and Kasey. It was a 46-year-old woman who was unboxing 300 LaBooBoos. Really? And crying when she didn't get the special, or whatever it is, the special LaBooBoos. Chrissy, what in the world is going on? What in the world is going on?
That's so bizarro.
It's like late-stage consumerism run amok. And I love it.
How does late-stage consumerism manifest in today's society?
I love consumerism. I'm all about it. I love buying things. Who doesn't? When I got this sweater, it made me so happy for one minute until I got the credit card bill. You know what I'm saying? The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now. Welcome back to the commercial break. Again, I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co-host of the show, Kristen Joy Holden. Best to you, Kristen.
Best to you, Brian.
Best to you out there in the podcast universe. In case you didn't know, we are testing out our capabilities to go live on Twitch and YouTube for now, maybe other platforms later. And I know we got at least one person watching.
What insights are shared about the recent Disney cruise incident?
We did.
Lauren?
Lauren.
Lauren says hi. Hi, Lauren. How are you doing? Yes. So make sure you subscribe to our Twitch TCB podcast. Go to YouTube at The Commercial Break. You can type that in or slash The Commercial Break. And you can follow us, turn on your notifications, so you know when we are going live, which we intend to do at least a couple of times a week. Moving forward, we're testing it all here. You know how it goes when we test something in the studio. It all goes wrong. So this is like our second, maybe third time starting the show here on the live stream because recording is an important part of what we do since you can't go live on the RSS feeds. No. There you go. Anyway, another person has fallen off a carnival cruise.
What? What?
What lessons can we learn from the father’s heroic actions?
No. Guys. It's just like, okay, you know what? This is a great topic to talk about because I wanted to discuss this a couple weeks ago. A thorough investigation has been done into the Disney accident that happened on that boat. They have come out with more information. Neither the father nor the mother are going to be charged in the incident. However, if you recall, let me take you through the timeline of what happened, in case you don't know. Back in June, May or June of this year, I want to say it was months ago, a little girl... Five years old, six years old, I think she was, fell off a Disney cruise ship in the middle of the Caribbean. She fell off the ship like 12 stories, 7, 9, 10, 12 stories, whatever it is.
I guess it depends on how high the boat is sitting in the water, but it's not a small fall. It is a large fall. Stories, you're talking tens of feet, 70, 80, 90 feet. Off of the Lido deck, or the promenade, which is the deck that goes all the way around the boat. People walk around it. You can play games. You know, it's basically the balcony deck. You can go out there and chill after dinner.
Is the pool on this deck or no?
How do unboxing videos affect children and consumer behavior?
No, the pool is above the deck.
It's higher.
Yeah, it's higher. So she falls off, and in an instant, her father, who was lauded as a hero as he should be, jumped right in after her, found her, and held her above water for 20-plus minutes while Disney did what they do, which is, and they did apparently very efficiently, effectively, and with, like, they did exactly what they should have done by all accounts, including the sheriff's office who investigated them.
Woo!
Sirens, everything. Sirens, boat in the water. Yes, including the mother. The mother and a bunch of people get on a boat. They take it down to the water, which in and of itself probably takes five, ten minutes to do. And then they find the child and the father who has been now treading water with his daughter. Treading water with his daughter for many minutes. One minute of treading water with a child in your arms. I can tell you as a guy who has... It's a lot. Children, it's a lot.
