Now, I mentioned last week that we had to get some new towels from farmers after many a bleach-based incident. I used bleach recklessly around the household. You know, scattered the towels, the bath towels, covered in bleach. So many of them went out to the garage to be used to, you know, the old town. They get used for, you. Rags. Yeah, rip them up. Yeah.

Towers, they really come in stages, don't they? It's good that you can keep using them, though. Yeah. But there's some that have stayed in there. and a couple of towels, I'm like, gee, this is into the 20th year of drying my body. If those towels could talk. Oh, you have a 20-year-old towel. It feels like way too long for towels, eh?

It's barely holding on to, I used it this morning. That's what reminded me about. You see that face that producer Troy's giving you? That's nasty. That is, yeah. I didn't know it was going to be your towel. Okay, so I'm just, I'm actually beating two to five years, they reckon. Yeah, that's...

Two to five years, pretty normal for good quality towels. Yeah, this thing's... Is it exfoliating you? Is it crispy? I feel like it makes me wetter when I go to use it. It's like repelling the moisture back onto my body going, I've retired, bro. I did not know that's what you were using. Yeah, it barely absorbs moisture anymore.

So that might be relegated to a, you know, a rag, to the rag status. But that is a good innings from a towel. It's a huge inning. Tau never expected to go that long. It's like, just retire me. Oh my God, throw me out. The last 15 years, it's like, I should be on the pension, relaxing, instead all your creases and creases. Oh, God.

Yeah, so I think you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone else using a towel into its 20th year. But what's the oldest item you're still using? Well, my husband's still using me. She got that out of the way, so Ben didn't get in there quickly. Absolutely. Well played. I've got a pair of nail scissors. that I've been using since I was probably 10.

So that's like 10 years. Are they not rusty? All my ones go rusty. No, that's the thing. The handle's broken, but I cannot throw them out because I've tried to replace them and nothing is as good.

But I think these were my mum's. I reckon there would be something as good out there. No, but I've tried. I've bought multiple. Nothing's as good. And these were my mum's beforehand. So these are very old nail scissors. Will you hand them down to Ohio

and they'll pass their way through the generations of names? I've painted on the handle with nail polish and the handle's broken. I don't think they will want them. But man, they're good. I just cannot throw them out. So they are 10, so that's about 52 years. Those nail clippers have been in service.

You can talk. We're not using it, but it is up in the house. My wife's granddad was an all-black and he played like five tests for the all-blacks. And he has jersey. We've got one of his jerseys and we've got that up. and that's from 1935. What was his name? John Dick was his name and he played winger for the all blacks.

And he, and it was an, it's a literal jersey. Like, it's a woolen jersey that they were playing in. Every time I'm like, man, technology has moved on.

Yeah, it's like, yeah. They play in wool? Yeah, it's like, yeah. I've never put it on.

Obviously it's in a frame and stuff. But I'm like, yeah, that's from 1935. And I'm like, wow. So, yeah, they were doing, and they were working jobs as well on farms.

And then they're like, and you want us to go and play in Wall. Go on a boat for like three months. Nine months to play one game in South Africa?
