I like these little day trips into other retail shops. Especially when you hit the thrift stores. One thing I miss from my childhood was going to record stores and spending hours leafing through the merch. I always left with something, and a lot of cool bands I had never heard of were introduced to me from the store owners.
As a teenager, I was a 'regular' in the music department, of our ur local Kmart & Musicland/Sam Goody stores. I too miss looking through the records, cassettes, & CD's. In later years, I frequented the Borders stores, to listen to music. I think I bought the Led Zeppelin Box Set on CD, from our local Borders store, just before they closed their doors. For me, there is something about real brick & mortar stores, that the virtual world just can't replace.
I really miss going into local, and mall record, and movie rental stores a few towns over from me with employees, and owners who got to know you by name who would clue you into the hidden gems so to speak, and I would always come out with at least one new CD, VHS, DVD, or video game with some of the money I had earned that week from my first job in high school, and because of that it led to me expanding my music, movie, anime and video game scope I would of otherwise not have gotten living in such a small town.
the mystery pack sounds like a great idea for items they probably had lying around for awhile and couldn't sell (and yes please more episodes like this)
Wow! I really respect and appreciate the concern about about the quality of the content.. So many successful TH-cam TH-cam creators build an audience and get lazy by by putting out useless or twist or redundant videos it was just for the views or the sponsorship. Thanks for always keeping your channel Fluid and interesting!✌
I enjoy the majority of videos you post! Keep doing what you're doing! We can't expect videos 24/7 when TH-cam isn't your full job. You're doing fantastic!
I watch for your relaxing voice, and the nostalgia. You could apply that combination to anything. Listening to you is great for my anxiety. You could sit and read the newspaper and I'd still be happy.
lol I gasped in sync with the both of them when that Prince of Thieves soundtrack was unveiled. I absolutely loved that movie back in the day as a child.
definitely fun to see what random/weird CDs you guys got... my wife was kinda half-watching in the background and SHE was wondering if Amy Jo Johnson had her own CD out or not (or if it was just part of the felicity thing, lol) looking forward to the new videos when they come out, though!
That was quite a bit of fun actually, it made for a surprisingly good placeholder video. Also, the best part of that horrible Robin Hood movie was Alan Rickman chewing all the scenery as the Sheriff. "I'll cut his heart out WITH A SPOON!!!"
I looked it up because I was curious. The "Dawn" doll was a fashion doll made between 1970 and 1973. Sales of the doll even outsold Barbie sales for a while, according to Google. The production only stopped of them because the "Topper" company went out of business in 1973. They had some "reintroduced reproductions" by 2 companies, one in 2000 and the other in 2004 as commemorative editions. Google also says they are counted as collector's items. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_doll
Dawn was a doll made by Topper in 1970 to 1973. Actually topped ( no pun intended) Barbie for a bit! Until Topper went out of business that is. Also, looking forward to more content and that project!
I really like all your random side quest type videos. Thrifting and it’s haul, the cooking vids you’ve done were also entertaining. Don’t be afraid to expand on ideas and content, seems pretty solid to me.
Congratulations on producing a VHS tape! That is *super* cool! Also, as far as gap fill content, you do you. Whatever works for you, I'll watch. If little filler videos are easy to do, then cool. If they'd only prove to be more of a burden on your time, then don't! Lol we will all be here whenever you do post.
Thank You for considering us into your schedule. So many TH-camrs and their subscribers enable a "you do you" ideology and the result is lackluster and /or lack of videos. I agree with doing more videos like this, and Mark definitely got the better CD's.
Your thrifting videos are very relaxing, I feel like I'm going on a retail therapy every time you put out your side quests videos. Love what you're doing, cheers from Indonesia
You have a good eye for what is interesting to share, so feel free, even if its a little different. You're definitely in that class that when you post a video, i'm watching it, no matter the topic at hand.
@@GaryGeat28 Ah cool. I will definitely have to go back whenever I go to visit family there again. I know Metro Mall is pretty much dead last so heard, not like when I was younger and walk around the mall or go to Castles and Coasters. And Cristown Mall is super ghetto, used to work at that crappy Walmart xd.
I've totally missed your videos, but yeah, work gets busy sometimes. Glad you are back. I was excited to see on Twitter you mentioning your project you have been working on too. Hopefully you will get to travel more and go beyond Arizona.
I have bought a number of their LP grab bags in the past. Have occasionally found some stuff worth quite a bit of money. Don't know if it was a surprise, or if they just didn't know what they were putting in them. Think the rarest one was Shiloh, which was Don Henley's pre-Eagles band.
I think 🤔 😕 😅 I remember that Cherl Bentene was a member of the group of 4 singers known as Manhattan Transfer, of which I have some varied tunes. When I worked at Fuji Film 🎥 in New York about 30 years ago, in accounting, I was showing a CD of Manhattan Transfer at work, and the Accounting Manager said he had her as a neighbor. Ray
I remember when Keri Russell as "Felicity" had her hair cut. Such an emotional outburst over something so trivial. That said, I also yearned for a boyfriend who looked like Scott Speedman.
Always love any videos brother , I swear it’s like me and my buddies going thrifting lol plus your voice is awesome you should definitely read audiobooks!!!
I'm going to make a helpful suggestion, speaking as another person who buys a lot of CDs and DVDs at Zia: get yourself a bunch of those little snap-off knives to cut off tape or price stickers that hold the cases closed. They're hella cheap at the checkout counter of any Harbor Freight store, which I believe has a location just two doors up from the Zia you visited in this video.
I love your videos and a lot of the stuff you cover brings back a lot of memories for me. I have an idea for one of your up coming videos and that is do one on the most creepiest places you have discovered. Halloween is coming up and a creepy or spooky episode from you would really be cool considering it is spooky season. It would also be a good idea to do one episode Christmas based since that is coming up in a few months. Either way I just love your content.
Miss seeing your videos, too! But, sometimes... You do what you gotta do! I for one will be here for every installment! Addendum, re Gary Oldman - just Googled him. He's 'a proficient pianist'.
yooooo, don't discount that Felicity soundtrack. The track by Air is super good and everyone will probably love it. But it's This Woman's Work by Kate Bush that is really going to knock some socks off. Please enjoy!
Prince of Darkness is part 2 of John Carpenters Apocolypse trilogy. ( theme is end of the world) The Thing, Prince of Darkness and In the mouth of madness. Do recomend owning it. Not perhaps on vhs though.
I just have to ask, is that autographed CD really autographed? Or is it just one of those album covers that has the autograph as part of the art and every copy is "autographed"? (Although this is just a question/guess, never even heard of Bo Rivers before this video, much less know anything about their CD releases)
Enjoyed it. The mystery CD grab bag was a good way to end the episode. It also bugs me when thrift stores suck. Goodwills where I live are becoming to sames-ey. Until next time! 🍺
Hey man it's all good, I know how being busy at work can be( nearly 2 weeks later I'm still trying to access damage after my town's(the building I'm in at work is owned by the town itself) maintenance goons nearly blew up my building after hitting cable, and power lines with a backhoe trying to do landscape, and popping the power meter). So please feel free to take as much time as you need to get bigger videos out, and if you want to sprinkle smaller videos like this in from time to time to fill the gaps it's all good by me.

The mystery CDs were quite fun! Would love to see that again! Haha
Bryan Adams, Sting and Rod Stewat did All for love and all for one. Alan Rickman played the Sherriff of Nottingham.
By Grabthar's Hammer, what a savings!
the mystery pack sounds like a great idea for items they probably had lying around for awhile and couldn't sell (and yes please more episodes like this)
I don't mind seeing different kinds of videos. It's your commentary that makes it fun.
Take your time with videos and enjoy your life. We appreciate all of your hard work and content.
It's really fun watching you travel all around the area that I live in as well. We may have even bumped shoulders once or twice, who knows! 🙂

Nice to see another retail archeology episode. I missed them!
Definitely an interesting idea for a video. I like it.
Mark definitely won that round with the more interesting CD pack.
lol

We love anything you put out. Always appreciating the chill vibes and happy nostalgia feels ♥️
That was quite a bit of fun actually, it made for a surprisingly good placeholder video. Also, the best part of that horrible Robin Hood movie was Alan Rickman chewing all the scenery as the Sheriff. "I'll cut his heart out WITH A SPOON!!!"
"it's dull, you twit! It'll hurt MORE!" 😆

This was fun, loved the mystery CDs!
0:29 Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish and Sir Paul Mccarthy making a Cameo in a Retail Archaeology video
Awesome
Why was I so invested in the mystery CDs reveal? Edit: your friend seriously got the best ones XD
Yeah! go get more!

Yep! These videos are great. Thrifting virtually with you is fun and your videos have a very calming effect. All for it.
“I like jazz too!” he says 😂😂

Enjoy the thrift store videos, thanks for sharing....
So fun to be able to teleport to another place with you! Always awesome!
this was so much fun! haha you two - and yes, missed you but I knew you'd be back! ♥
You definitely need to go back for more of these :)
Your thrifting videos are very relaxing, I feel like I'm going on a retail therapy every time you put out your side quests videos. Love what you're doing, cheers from Indonesia
Very cool find guys!
I was not expecting such interesting choices in the mystery cd pack! Amazing!
You have a good eye for what is interesting to share, so feel free, even if its a little different. You're definitely in that class that when you post a video, i'm watching it, no matter the topic at hand.
No need to apologize for a lack of videos. Other things have to come first.
Robin Hood prince of Thieves was amazing! I got my young nephews to sit down and watch it and they loved it.
I miss Zia records. My friend Samantha and I would always go to the Zia on Thunderbird and I-17, just to look at CDs.
Is the store still there, been a decade since I lived in Phoenix? Used to go there for incense, anime and cds when I was in my early twenties.
@@Entropic_Nightmares Its still there. There are also stores in Chandler, Mesa, Tempe and I think there's one in Tucson.
@@GaryGeat28 Ah cool. I will definitely have to go back whenever I go to visit family there again. I know Metro Mall is pretty much dead last so heard, not like when I was younger and walk around the mall or go to Castles and Coasters. And Cristown Mall is super ghetto, used to work at that crappy Walmart xd.
I'm liking these videos. I like seeing all these different places.
I enjoyed this mystery pack unwrapping. Other stores should have this. Mark definitely got the better one.
I've totally missed your videos, but yeah, work gets busy sometimes. Glad you are back. I was excited to see on Twitter you mentioning your project you have been working on too. Hopefully you will get to travel more and go beyond Arizona.
New Retail Archeology Friday is back, yo!
Your table cloth looks amazing!
We've got 2 Zia records here in Vegas I love Zia for the selection
The first thing I thought of when I saw the Dawn doll was "Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway".
The box art (and title) makes me think of a V. C. Andrews novel, but that would be a strange source for a line of toys.
Those mystery packs were a smart idea from the store, since they know that no one would buy some of those out right.
I have bought a number of their LP grab bags in the past. Have occasionally found some stuff worth quite a bit of money. Don't know if it was a surprise, or if they just didn't know what they were putting in them. Think the rarest one was Shiloh, which was Don Henley's pre-Eagles band.
Yeah you guys are back. I LOVE your videos I could listen all day, so oddly relaxing... like hanging out with your best high school friends
I like these types of videos
Videos like this is a nice change of pace from normal video. Rngjesus strikes again with these mystery CD boxes.
I think 🤔 😕 😅 I remember that Cherl Bentene was a member of the group of
4 singers known as Manhattan Transfer,
of which I have some varied tunes.
When I worked at Fuji Film 🎥 in New
York about 30 years ago, in accounting,
I was showing a CD of Manhattan Transfer
at work, and the Accounting Manager said
he had her as a neighbor. Ray
Loved this, some of us 1960s babies know those old bands cuz our parents listened to them on LPs 😉
Great video, enjoyed the mystery bags part😀
i enjoy most your content tbh. this video as well. keep it up!
That’s a cool place
I'll literally watch anything you put out
I dig whatever you put out. You do you .
Good ol mystery grab bags.
The little trips and recording them is fine! Also have you checked out call it new, call it antique out in Mesa? Lots of great things there!
that home alone record in the first second of the video!!!
I remember when Keri Russell as "Felicity" had her hair cut. Such an emotional outburst over something so trivial. That said, I also yearned for a boyfriend who looked like Scott Speedman.
Let’s get more videos like this 👍🏽
Country is my nightmare, but Mark's mystery pack was pretty fun.
love the content. I'll watch whatever you make!
That "desert chrome" logo at 2:31...
😍😎
Is it just me on does their table cloth resemble the vintage spirograph design and colors? Love your videos. Thanks for sharing
Always love any videos brother , I swear it’s like me and my buddies going thrifting lol plus your voice is awesome you should definitely read audiobooks!!!
This whole video was so much fun! I’m always down to see the smaller side adventures like this, with you and Mark. You guys always rock. 😎
More videos like this!
Great video. I was wondering earlier today why you’d not uploaded in a while.
Personally, I enjoy these sort of videos.
I'm going to make a helpful suggestion, speaking as another person who buys a lot of CDs and DVDs at Zia: get yourself a bunch of those little snap-off knives to cut off tape or price stickers that hold the cases closed.

The Hanging Garden is a great movie and a wicked soundtrack
Miss seeing your videos, too! But, sometimes...
You do what you gotta do! I for one will be here for every installment!
Addendum, re Gary Oldman - just Googled him. He's 'a proficient pianist'.
Oh my god. Buffy The Vampire Slayer board game??!! I've never seen that. Oh man, I would have loved to get that.
this was a kind of cool fun little video I like it
Loved the intro!! (Which I guess gives away my age...)
I seriously want to buy your documentary on vhs. Let us all know once its done and where to buy it
i can't believe they have the Buffy the Vampire Slayre boardgame. :D
we understand about day jobs....don't worry about it....yeah i really like these side trip videos
0:56 “Hello, Peter”
Loving these episodes!
Enjoyed this! May have sent me to TH-cam on a song hunt. :)
Gary Oldman played Beethoven in the 1994 film Immortal Beloved. That was clearly some sort of continuation soundtrack. “More Immortal Beloved”
yooooo, don't discount that Felicity soundtrack. The track by Air is super good and everyone will probably love it. But it's This Woman's Work by Kate Bush that is really going to knock some socks off. Please enjoy!
That was great !
8:20 I suddenly understand the Whose Line Is It Anyways? joke with the fish. I thought Collin and Ryan were just making mouth sounds.
You should do a review on Desert Ridge and Tempe Marketplace
Soon 🙂
Isn't there a zia records in an old Walgreens? I don't live in phoenix but I went to a record store in phoenix in an old Walgreens
Northeast corner of 19th Avenue and Camelback, right where the light rail turns.
my mom has the same tablecloth, I was really confused for a second lol
Prince of Darkness is part 2 of John Carpenters Apocolypse trilogy. ( theme is end of the world) The Thing, Prince of Darkness and In the mouth of madness. Do recomend owning it. Not perhaps on vhs though.
Sweden checking in. Would buy the VHS if it worked in my old european player.
I had Dawn dolls in the early 70's...they are old 🤣🤣
I just have to ask, is that autographed CD really autographed? Or is it just one of those album covers that has the autograph as part of the art and every copy is "autographed"? (Although this is just a question/guess, never even heard of Bo Rivers before this video, much less know anything about their CD releases)
Enjoyed it. The mystery CD grab bag was a good way to end the episode. It also bugs me when thrift stores suck. Goodwills where I live are becoming to sames-ey. Until next time! 🍺
I like the thrifting videos and videos like this
Cheryl Bentyne is from Manhattan Transfer. I'm doubting you're her target audience, lol.
Hey man it's all good, I know how being busy at work can be( nearly 2 weeks later I'm still trying to access damage after my town's(the building I'm in at work is owned by the town itself) maintenance goons nearly blew up my building after hitting cable, and power lines with a backhoe trying to do landscape, and popping the power meter).
