We're gonna get like JB Hi-Fi or No Leaming or someone to sponsor this podcast because we're about to talk about appliances again Again, first of all, Ella's got one she wants to do but first of all before we change appliances We need to know how the new toaster is So I haven't I can't comment because I personally haven't used it my partner has used it You haven't used it? I know You said you have toast every day No, I didn't did I say my partner has used it. You haven't used it? You haven't used it? I know. You said you have toast every day. Every day. No, I didn't, did I say I have toast every day?

I've been trying not to eat as much bread. Well maybe you just said it was used every day. Okay, how about I promise you tomorrow morning. You're not taking it for a test drive? When did you plug it in? Tomorrow morning, last week. Wait, are we having a toaster off still? I will have scrambled eggs

and I will toast a piece of bread and you can ask me. What time I'll be there? Good work. Fletch, Vaughan and Hay will toast a piece of bread and you can ask me. What time I'll be there? Good work. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley did a kettle off in the studio once and it tripped a fuse. Oh yeah. But kettles definitely draw more power than toasters. But I wonder how many toasters we could run in this room

before we got in trouble. At least four. They had six. Yeah, we could run four. Surely. Surely. We'll Yeah, we could run four. Surely. Totally. We'll just take a different outlet each. Also, my mum, I was talking to my mum this morning

and she said that, cause she listens to our podcasts like religiously. Hi, diet. And hi, mum. Hi. And when she always listens to the main one first and she said, when I run out of main ones, I do go back and listen to after parties. Oh so this is a last resort? Yeah this is like she the main one's her favourite. Which is the opposite of me when I listen to our

podcast I listen to this one. Yeah I like this one too. I think I like this one more. You listen to these. She wasn't here. Ah we can't revisit that. Send her the link. Anyway, my mum commented on the after party where we talked about who out of our four families probably grew up the poorest. My mum's weighed in and she said she has no doubt that my family, as in us, were the poorest. Well, she's got access to the books. Yeah, well, I mean, she literally would have known what we had.

But I don't remember seeing her during my childhood. Yeah, she doesn't know what I was cooking. It's true, it's true. Well, she asked what all your parents did for a living. Do you know what our parents did for a living? I know Clint's mum's a teacher. But she wasn't when we were kids. Oh, so yeah, I didn't know that. What would, teacher, but she wasn't when we were kids. Oh, so you're right

Yeah, what would yeah, what would what did she do? She worked at the post office or post bank and then she Quit that job and went to study teaching. So she was a she was studying to be a teacher for four years Yeah, right. Dad worked in a gas station. Yeah,. My mum never worked. We're not having a pour off again though. My mum never worked, she was a stay at home mum. She was a hairdresser. She did some side hustling. Oh she did a couple. She got some untaxed income didn't she?

She cut the books didn't she? She was a hairdresser, owned a couple of salons and then when she had kids she sold them and would do a couple of cashies at home. Yeah yeah. But mainly was a stay at home mum. Anyway. What about your parents? What?

Their parents. Oh. It sounds like who you're talking to. They told us. I listened to them, unlike you. I've never told you what my parents do. No, Claudia's never said. Ella talked about what her dad did.

What do you know, Clint? I know that Ella's mom was a social worker. No, she was a stay at home mom. She was a social worker when Charlie was seven. Okay. Still counts. And your dad worked at the university. Yeah. Give me some kudos.

Now me. Give me some kudos. Pretty good, yes. Claudia, you never said. Say anything, Clint. Your dad was a traveling magician. Your dad, no, your dad was a traveling magician. Your dad was a full-time good-looking unit. That's right. That's an ongoing job. Am I right? And your mum was one of those ladies that got sword in half.

Oh yeah she was! She was the dove that they released it this year. And they played Celine Dion. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, correct. No, my mum was a stay-at-home and my dad was a baker. Thank you very much. And they played Celine Dion No, my mom was a stay-at-home and my dad was a baker thank you very much Eat his buns Bring those cinnamon scrolls over here daddy. We would make his dough rise It's yeasty What appliance did you want to talk about Ella sorry not appliance. I want to get a rocking chair. Oh, fucking hell.

Oh my god! I thought this is what we were bringing to the table now. No! You said I've got an appliance with a podcast. You know how we did Toaster Chair? I've got something else I want to buy. Can I, can we weigh in on a yes or no? Well, I just want a nice comfy chair.

Then the fucking rocking chair's not it. I love a moved little rocker. If you're preparing to have your first child, rocking chair, great idea. Otherwise, bit laborious, a rocking chair. Yeah. I can't really find them online. It's good for your corn.

It's a lot of effort. It is good if you've got a newborn, I've heard. Yeah, yeah, they're huge for that. I've got one in my backyard that I stole off the street if you want that one. I'm good. It's a little bit rotten on one side but I'm gonna replace that.

Sell it a bit harder. Can I have it? It's just needs a water blast in it. Shit. I wanna check if there's a self rocking rocking chair. There would be. I just wanna be dropped. Like they have them for babies.

Why wouldn't they have them for us? Do you wanna talk about appliances then? You wanna give me a 10 second sales pitch on an air fryer? Because I'm still not convinced and I know you guys love them. Moonlight Cordroy foldable reclining rocker, $209. Oh, send me that link, is it green? Is that for babies? Because it's foldable. For adults. There's lots of rocking chairs on Teemu. I don't want to go on Teemu. That's an interesting rest. There's one on Mokka. All the links are for Teemo. God, the internet is cooked now.

You wanna know about an air fryer? Didn't you buy your water bed on Teemo? Wait, you guys did not give me enough on this. My water bed was second-hand. Sorry, back to you. They don't know enough about it. Okay, quickly before we go on to Claude. Okay, do you recommend any comfortable chairs?

Get a little love seat. Do you know any good brands? Are we? Oh, do you want? I will send you the chair that I reckon would be it. Thank you. Is it the replica Togo? That one's good, but there's this, what are you after? I want a comfy chair to sit in either a- Did you sit in those green ones at my house when you were there? The big spongy ones? Yeah, I want something higher. Okay. They're a bit low.

They're nice. It's too expensive though, to be honest. I sat in this chair at Freedom, and to be honest, I'd never buy another piece of furniture from there again. But this chair, it was like, what's that call where it's like the wooly... Buckle?

Buckle. Buckle? Buckle. But, but. Bukel? Bukel, bukel. Bukel? The fat removal. Oh my God. It was the most comfortable chair. It was just felt like a hug.

Right. I want something like that. Hold on, let me look it up. See if I can find it. If it's from Freda, it'll be $700. It was fricking expensive. I would spend maybe three on a good comfy chair. Three grand? 300. You can donate if you want.

You should go and look at some secondhand stores. You could find a super comfy old recliner, get it cleaned up, you could get it reupholstered. Oh, that's so much admin. Spending $300 on that. And then you're not creating more shit being brought into the world. That's so much admin. Have we done our podcast admin? Is this the podcast? What? It is, eh? Yeah.

Oh, like and subscribe. Um. I'm looking at nude now. But okay, no. Not to sound like an eco-punisher, but I saw this thing the other day that said, everything you want to buy already exists. Yeah. That's true.

Like someone already owns it? Like you'll be able to find it second hand. Gotcha. I love second hand shopping. Me too. Save it for undies. No, not undies. When's it looked?

No, not undies. Not undies. Remember that time I got a second hand dishwasher? Best ever. Yeah, and you were weird about it until you got it. Yeah. And then I wasn't. I was selling a dishwasher.

When you were buying a dishwasher, I was selling a second hand dishwasher. Yeah, but not the dishwasher I wanted. This was the exact dishwasher we wanted. Oh a dishwasher. I was selling a secondhand dishwasher. Yeah, but not the dishwasher I wanted. This was the exact dishwasher we wanted. Oh, me. And we bought it secondhand. Like you said, it already exists. I feel like old furniture, especially wooden furniture,

like it used to be made of actual wood and they're way more sturdy. Instead of buying like the particle board shit that you buy now. I hate that. This is the chair. This is the chair. I found it.

I've seen it. It's great. I've seen it. Oh, it's such a nice chair. Send it through. No. Because you can sit two people in it. It's $3,800. Oh, when's your birthday, mate? Fuck, let's look at it. She said she's got three.

You can see it, you can sit two people on it, shit, it's comfortable. 300. I watched an interview with someone who styles celebrities' homes, like high-end celebrities' homes, the kind of homes you'd see on that AD YouTube channel. And they said their ratios for, by styling, like you buy a house and then you hire this person to come and fit out the house for you to live in. And they said their ratio is only 20% of the things in the house are new.

Everything else is vintage, thrifted, second hand, from something from the owner's collection already, 80%, that's how you get the house to look. Yeah, like that. Like that, and not look like a show home. Hmm. Yeah, interesting. I have a furniture question. So my flat is just on a reshuffle

and the people that live in the flat don't own really anything that is in the flat. It's all from past flatmates that none of us have met. And I'm gonna sell a bunch of it. Do I need to give the money to the flat? No. Nah. Cause I'm pretending that I'm gonna use it

to buy like a bean bag or something. Well you are the head tenant now. True, I can do what I want. Yeah. What is it? What are the things? Cause Ella's looking for a chair. Yeah, you got one? Yeah, I actually do have a chair.

There's a bunch of shelving units. There's weirdly some mattresses. Oh actually send me your photos. I want some shelves. There's heaps of stuff under the house and then there's a big back shed thing. It doesn't seem like it should be your responsibility. It seems like you should contact the landlord and say hey come get all this shit. Yeah but also I like money. Ah okay. Yes you should contact the landlord and say, hey, come get all this shit. Yeah, but also I like money.

Oh, okay. Yeah, well then, yes, you do get the money. So say to the other flatmates, hey, is any of you guys opposed to me selling this stuff? Cause I'm gonna do it. If I put all the work in. Yeah, and I'm gonna keep the money. And maybe I'll buy like a bottle of wine we can split

and then keep the rest. Hell yeah. Actually, my new flatmate, he's a smellier. He's a wine guy. What's a, oh, wine. He's smelly.. He's a wine guy. What's a, oh wine. He's smelly. Smelly. Smelly guy.

Smelly air. So I'm gonna have three wine guys. Fuck yeah. Fuck yeah, I don't need a pire. That's a good flatmate to have. We should do that topic on the show. Who was the best flatmate you ever had? Flatmate perks.

Perks wise, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Write that down, Claud. Unpopular opinion, I hate wine. Oh, you would say that. Ah, just to end the show, fucking good. You hate wine? I think so.

I hate wine. I hate how it makes me feel during, and especially the next day. All wine? I think all wine. Champagne? Yeah, I think even like the worst is champagne. Like a champagne hangover.

Pain, pain. Crazy, the new thing, I hate art. I told you it was an unpopular opinion. It's up there with that because it's such a broad statement. There's so much wine. I think, yeah, I'm apart from using it for cooking. What about like a Moscato? Nah.

A mosquito? Fuck wine. I hate it. What about a beautiful central Otago, Pino? No Look, I don't mind like a bit if I had to drink one. Yeah, like a pinot gris Or a rosé. Oh, yes, what would be my choices? But nah would never be my first choice. What about a shibli?

What about a Gwinstramina? What about a Gwinstramina? Peanaut what? Peanaut? I don't mind a bit of a Peanaut. What about an Australian sorah? I do like a bit of a sorah sorah. I don't mind an Australian Sarah Sarah.

A Sarah Sarah. It's my favourite Justice Crew song. Me too. Let's leave shall we? Yeah. I want to see Justice Crew reunited without the twins. No not now. What?

At the start of the podcast. What? Jesus. I think a Sarah Sarah. I need a wine after that.
