Speaker 2 (00:03):
There's more and more evidence that young people are drinking
less and opting for cleaner lifestyles.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Really good on them.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Well, it's the big thing about all those running clubs
in Bondi, those pictures when all around the world where
they said look at six am, look what's happening at Bondi.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
It's like a big dating club.

I think people in type fitting running gear, holding coffees
and then going for that want.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Well most mornings.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
It's not that there was one weekend of protests.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I'll give you that. That's not every weekend in Bondai.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I remember when the sewerage because I worked in the
sewerage outfall there and it was dreadful because they used
to just dump the sewer straight on the beach.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Amore. No, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
That's good now it's thanks to.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Me that image went all around the world because they're
saying people in other countries are saying, look what happens
when you don't wake up with a hangover basically because
that's the culture is Younger people we assume from our
day go out clubbing have a hangover.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Soft clubbing is a new thing. So this is instead
of sticky flows.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Covered in drinks and getting home at five am, there's
a new trend. Its corporates music and dancing, but none
of that other stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
It's called soft clubbing. It's a growing trend amongst gen z's.
How old are they in their early twenties, in the twenties.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
So it replaces traditional alcohol focused nightclub life with alcohol
free daytime events centered on wellness, community and authentic connection.
So often there'll be DJs, there'll be music, they'll be dancing,
you might these might pop up.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Look at you rubbing your face you hate, Well, it's
not for you. It's not for you.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
In unconventional places cafes, fitness studio, supermarkets, as well as
some clubs and things, and people are drinking coffee and
none other non alcoholic drinks. And this is sort of
pinpointing a whole lot of cultural shifts. As I said,
people drinking less, people facing up to economic realities that
you know, an expensive night of drinks, and people are
(02:02):
choosing entertainment that doesn't impact on their wellness as much.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
All that stuff that you can't.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Stand, all that stuff that I hate because.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
These have been so massive. They're up four hundred and
seventy eight percent.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
You hate those percentages.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
I know they're up a lot.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
They're up a lot because I think of my nightclub
in days, which weren't big or long or anything like that.
But I think of like Coyotes.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Where was that?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
That was caringbar and Coyotes. That was the place to hang.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
How about you, Brian?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Would you look the Jet Club? There is a new
phone parties.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
What kind of foam?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
They just loved the whole bunch of foam.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, yeah, Bezos had phone at he's wedding.
Speaker 3 (02:48):

working at Simon Townsend's Wonderworld, we'd go to the hip
hop club would go to Kinsella's.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Is that where you passed to Samoan?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
No, that was somewhere else. I won't I tell you anything.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Anyway, This would suit me because, as you know, I
like lumber support. And it's not even being home at
nine pm to go to bed. I could be home
at lunchtime to have an afternoon snooze. So I might
take off, some take up, some soft clubbing.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Somebody spiker tea with a splendor.
