Episode Date: July 4, 2026

One year ago this week... Jono Pryor's bargain puffer jacket purchase turned into a stinky disaster when a suspicious wet-dog smell sparked a hilarious investigation into what might really be inside it.   Join the Itty Bitty Hitty Committee HERE!Instagram:  @THEHITSBREAKFASTFacebook: The Hits Breakfast with Jono, Ben & MeganSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm going to confess something here. I love buying knock off products online. Okay? Megan, she put me onto a website and I love it. I'm not going to name the website

for fear of incriminating me. Yeah. Now, I've purchased a few things off this particular website. You know, bargain basement prices for your top end,

your top end brands. Yeah, you're a $20 Rolex. Yeah, that broke. The Rolex didn't last that. Yeah. Okay, the lasted lessened,

yeah. I love how you took it to someone to try and get it fixed and they're like, you know that this is not real. Yeah. It was like the Three Kings jeweller as well. I was like, oh, sorry, mate, this is not real. He's like, you don't look like a Rolex guy.

But anyway, Oscar, my son, he's growing out of his winter jacket. So he's like, oh, I need another jacket. Do you know how expensive the old puffer jackets are? Yeah. Puffer jacket industry is having a laugh. Some of them are really warm. That's the thing. Yeah.

I understand. Some designs gone into it, Ben, you're right? And so we went to the mall and I was like, mate, I'm going to take you to a better place. came home, hopped on the dark web, went incognito on the internet, sold a few kidneys, trafficked some humans,

and ended up on a website that sold knock-off puffer jackets. Okay? Now I got this puffer jacket for $57. Wow. Landed. Right. Two days later, boom, it's here.

Put it on. So Oscar's wearing it round. And then all of a sudden, you know, about a day into it, I was like, it smells like a really wet dog is following us around. everywhere.

Oh my God. Like in the car, I'm like, have you put it on deodorant, mate? Like, you know, he's that smelling stuff in the other. It smelled like I hadn't dried my clothes properly. That sort of musty sort of, yeah. Damp smell. And, you know, three or four days into it after, you know,

being followed around by this odour, I finally pinned it on the jacket. Now, I don't want to throw wild accusations at the manufacturers, but I think they've shaved dogs. I think they've shaved dogs. Does it say what it's got like is the en-a? It's like go stout? Yeah, which is what you're playing.

No gooses were shaved in the process of this jacket. I can rest assured. Like I'm not an idiot. I understand I've bought a cheaper inferior product. But somewhere out there there's a naked St. Bernard while wandering the streets. And it's here as in my son's jacket. So every time he goes out in the rain, you're like, you need a shower. I don't know if I should wear it or I should walk it.

I don't know. So you don't always have a win in that world. That's probably a good thing. Highs and lows.
