2:23
Speaker 3: Couldn't pay me to leave my differing opinion below someone
2:27
Speaker 3: else's post. If I don't like something, I scroll. I
2:29
Speaker 3: scroll like you'll never catch me below someone else's post
2:33
Speaker 3: being like, actually, that's not.
2:36
Speaker 4: A factual statement.
2:37
Speaker 3: Grow By, I get thirty seconds of clearheaded this a day.
2:40

2:44
Speaker 3: craft macaroni and cheese comment.
2:46
Speaker 2: No way.
2:48
Speaker 3: And some of you are out there fighting the good fight.
2:50
Speaker 3: Good for you, God bless But like some of you
2:52
Speaker 3: are in my comments.
2:54
Speaker 4: Leaving full fledged thesis statements about something I never gave
2:57
Speaker 4: a shit about to begin with. Can you imagine spending
3:02
Speaker 4: five minutes writing a full fledged paragraph only.
3:05
Speaker 3: To be blocked the lead in and blocked.
3:09
Speaker 1: Yo? Could yo?
3:12
Speaker 2: Yeah? I wholeheartedly agree facts.
3:15
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the thing that we can all
3:18
Speaker 1: embrace a little bit or maybe potentially, I feel like
3:20
Speaker 1: anyone listening to this episode because everyone's cool. But yeah,
3:23
Speaker 1: if I ever saw like someone that I was like
3:25
Speaker 1: best friends with, like leaving a hate comment, I would
3:29
Speaker 1: be so embarrassed.
3:31
Speaker 2: Same, especially over shit that doesn't matter.
3:34
Speaker 3: Yeah.
3:34
Speaker 2: Like, sure, if you're calling somebody out for something like
3:37
Speaker 2: that's legitimately wrong. Yeah, but most of the time people
3:41
Speaker 2: aren't yeah, they just want to disagree. Anyway, what's your
3:44
Speaker 2: obsession at the week. Okay, my obsession of the week
3:47
Speaker 2: is that Rolling Stone just dropped the top one hundred
3:50
Speaker 2: songs of twenty twenty five. I know, so I'll link
3:54
Speaker 2: the whole article in the show notes because we don't
3:56
Speaker 2: have time to go through.
3:57
Speaker 1: So the songs had to come out in twenty twenty five. Yeah, okay, yeah, okay,
4:02
Speaker 1: in the top ten. Yeah, let's top ten.
4:04
Speaker 2: I'm locked in. Wait, I have to guess.
4:05
Speaker 1: My Spotify age was sixty seven, so like, this isn't
4:09
Speaker 1: going to go well for me.
4:10
Speaker 2: I'm going to put a chapel rone in there.
4:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously the Subway came out this year, so maybe
4:16
Speaker 1: that won't. Renee Rap I think I like you better. Oh,
4:20
Speaker 1: Olivia Dean absolutely, maybe, man I need and maybe dancing
4:25
Speaker 1: to Kelly Holiday.
4:26
Speaker 2: Those are my my guesses. I will say the list
4:29
Speaker 2: is American. Ah, most of those. I think we're right.
4:34
Speaker 2: But I reckon that Kelly Holiday is going to be
4:36
Speaker 2: in like the top five of the Yeah. I really
4:38
Speaker 2: like he's dancing too. It's so fun. Oh same, I'm
4:42
Speaker 2: dancing too. It's like a crying on the dance law song,
4:44
Speaker 2: which is one of my favorite genres of all the time. Okay,
4:48
Speaker 2: so should I run that?
4:49
Speaker 1: Just when you said that, I just had flashbacks to
4:52
Speaker 1: the scene in the Summer I turned pretty where Belly's
4:55
Speaker 1: dancing and she's having flashbacks to Conrad and we can't
4:58
Speaker 1: be friends is playing.

Speaker 5: I miss him biblically. I miss him like he is.
5:06
Speaker 1: A genuine, real friend or lover person in my life.
5:12
Speaker 1: Like when clips come up, I feel lighter. I truly
5:18
Speaker 1: have a parasocial relationship with a man that doesn't exist.
5:22
Speaker 2: He's your husband that went to war and you're like
5:24
Speaker 2: waiting in your when will he return to?
5:26
Speaker 1: I miss Conrad Fisher so fucking much, like I want
5:31
Speaker 1: to hear him every day, Like when he's like I
5:33
Speaker 1: would rather use a nail gun to their head than
5:37

Speaker 2: for so long. Number five folded by killany. Number four.
6:55

7:29
Speaker 2: performing at the super Bowl next year.
7:30

9:31
Speaker 2: Rolling Stone and I just we just don't agree. I
9:36
Speaker 2: can't believe Olivia Dean wasn't in there. She'll probably be
9:39
Speaker 2: in the top twenty or something. Well, should we tell
9:42
Speaker 2: the chicks of the episodes about today?
9:43
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, this is basically the whole fucking thing.
9:46
Speaker 2: We're just talking for half an hour. I know, I
9:49
Speaker 2: feel that we need to do more episodes like that.
9:50
Speaker 2: Just sit down and year.
9:52
Speaker 1: But today we are doing a performance review of our
9:55
Speaker 1: purchases for the year. We're doing best and worst buys
10:00
Speaker 1: investments purchases of twenty twenty five, and we've asked you
10:03
Speaker 1: chicks to send yours in for us to discuss.
10:07
Speaker 2: Agree, disagree.
10:09
Speaker 5: But before we get into it, South, did you have
10:11
Speaker 5: any best purchases that you wanted to share?
10:14
Speaker 2: So one of the best investments that I made at
10:16
Speaker 2: the very beginning of the year, I think I made
10:18
Speaker 2: this purchase on the second of January WHOA this year
10:22
Speaker 2: was six glass containers from Ika. They're four dollars fifty each.
10:28
Speaker 1: And I remember, you're so passionate about this the like
10:32
Speaker 1: the head bobble.
10:33
Speaker 2: There were so many reasons why I wanted to buy
10:35
Speaker 2: it and why it has been why. They have been
10:36
Speaker 2: one of the greatest investments of my of my whole years,
10:40
Speaker 2: so passionate. I love it. We've spoken about this on
10:43
Speaker 2: the podcast before that in previous years, like one of
10:45
Speaker 2: my goals has been to order less, uber eat spend
10:48
Speaker 2: less money on like going to the supermarket, you know,
10:52
Speaker 2: five times a week because you don't actually plan your
10:54
Speaker 2: meals properly and then you end up buying too much
10:56
Speaker 2: stuff and food wastage and all of that. So my
10:59
Speaker 2: boyfriend and I were like, that's it, we need to
11:01
Speaker 2: buy new containers. We have like a system, Like they're
11:04
Speaker 2: big enough, they're not plastics, so they don't like get
11:08
Speaker 2: stained from a spaghetti bolonaise after one use that thing.
11:11
Speaker 2: And they're like sturdy and good you can take them
11:13
Speaker 2: to work and all of that. But also because we
11:15
Speaker 2: live in a small apartment, something that is good for
11:19
Speaker 2: storage and that you can stack together and like fits
11:21
Speaker 2: together anyway, I feel like these containers are the reason
11:26
Speaker 2: that I've been able to meal prep so well pretty
11:29
Speaker 2: much consistently all year. But also I was looking at
11:32
Speaker 2: like one of my go to meal preps and it
11:35
Speaker 2: costs twenty four dollars and thirty one cents to make
11:39
Speaker 2: and I get four to six meals out of it,
11:42
Speaker 2: so that's six to four dollars per meal. Yeah, And
11:46
Speaker 2: I think before that, I'd always be like, oh, like
11:48
Speaker 2: I don't want to eat the same thing every day,
11:50
Speaker 2: or just the idea of meal prepping was really boring
11:52
Speaker 2: or seem too hard to do. And these containers have
11:55
Speaker 2: really changed my life. Yeah, so I recommend one of
12:00
Speaker 2: those boring purchases that you're just like fuck like yeah,
12:03
Speaker 2: but honestly, it's like live life change. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
12:08
Speaker 2: I love that. Yeah, what about you.
12:10
Speaker 1: I feel like we were talking about this the other day,
12:12
Speaker 1: and not to like toot my own horn, but I
12:16
Speaker 1: feel like the hair game this year.
12:19
Speaker 2: I feel like I've just leveled it up a little bit.
12:21
Speaker 1: My hair this year has been raally goop in terms
12:24
Speaker 1: of like my hair health.
12:26
Speaker 2: It's just shiny and all of that stuff.
12:28
Speaker 1: And there's like a couple purchases that were all rolled
12:31
Speaker 1: into that, and we do get a lot of questions
12:33
Speaker 1: on like.
12:34
Speaker 5: Hair routine and hair care routine.
12:36
Speaker 1: So I thought it finally shit, yeah, because we've kind
12:39
Speaker 1: of done like little tidbits here and there, and obviously
12:41
Speaker 1: this is always ever changing because we try a lot
12:44
Speaker 1: of products due to the nature of our workies. But
12:47
Speaker 1: the products that I've noticed had the biggest difference on
12:51
Speaker 1: my hair in twenty twenty five was number one. And
12:55
Speaker 1: I know this is actually going to be controversial. A
12:56
Speaker 1: butte me in the butt a bit later in the
12:58
Speaker 1: episode was my dice in era. And I think that
13:02
Speaker 1: is because every time I wash my hair, I blow
13:06
Speaker 1: dry it after, and you would think that would cause
13:10
Speaker 1: more damage to your hair, but it actually doesn't. To
13:14
Speaker 1: leave your hair wet and let it air dry can
13:17
Speaker 1: actually cause more damage to your hair then using a
13:21
Speaker 1: heat protector and blow drying it. The follicles of your
13:24
Speaker 1: hair is more open when it's wet, so it's easier
13:28
Speaker 1: to damage. That's why when like hair dresses see people
13:31
Speaker 1: like straightening wet hair, they're like they're like, don't do that,
13:34
Speaker 1: or like that's why it's really bad to like rush
13:37
Speaker 1: really like wet hair, because it's really damaging to your hair.
13:40
Speaker 2: And I notice it if my hair.
13:42
Speaker 1: Air dries, it's like no product or like conditioner or
13:44
Speaker 1: whatever in their Like, my hair just goes so frizzy
13:47
Speaker 1: and dry and hard, like the ends are hard. Yeah,
13:51
Speaker 1: So that's been like the one thing that I've been
13:53
Speaker 1: doing in that routine, obviously using like a heat styling protector,
13:57
Speaker 1: and anyone is good to use to be hones, I've
14:00
Speaker 1: been using like the GHD one and then the Laurel
14:04
Speaker 1: Absolute Repair shampoo and conditioner. Eh, my god, ten out
14:09
Speaker 1: of ten. You can get it from Chemis ware House.
14:11
Speaker 1: The first wash, I noticed a difference in my hair.
14:13
Speaker 2: My hair feels so fucking clean. It's insane. It's so good.
14:18
Speaker 2: I love it. And then literally a hair oil.
14:22
Speaker 1: So the one that I really like at the moment
14:24
Speaker 1: is that Nooks and Uxe.
14:28
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Nucks Nooks. It's French.
14:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you're talking about their body oil.
14:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's an oil for everything, so you can
14:37
Speaker 1: use it on your body, you can use it on
14:39
Speaker 1: your hair, you can use it like.
14:40
Speaker 5: It's multi use, which is why I really like. And
14:42
Speaker 5: it smells dive in.
14:44
Speaker 1: And then the final thing that I think has really
14:47
Speaker 1: made such a big difference in like the shininess is
14:50
Speaker 1: the karasilk keratin treatment that we both had and it
14:54
Speaker 1: was like a partnership we did with them, but I'd
14:56
Speaker 1: had one previously and I really really loved it. Hence
14:58
Speaker 1: where I was like, yeah, happy to work with them
15:00
Speaker 1: on this, and yeah, I feel like that's had such
15:03
Speaker 1: a big difference in my hair health. So to summarize
15:06
Speaker 1: which when I know people are getting disagree with, but
15:09
Speaker 1: that's fine, Dice and air app the Laurel Absolute Repair
15:13
Speaker 1: shampoo and conditioner, blow drying your hair after you wash
15:17
Speaker 1: it with a heat protectant.
15:19
Speaker 5: And the Nukes oil.
15:22
Speaker 1: And finally the Karasilk eratin treatment that was ten out
15:25
Speaker 1: of ten and so quick.
15:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
15:28
Speaker 1: My best investment of twenty twenty five is my Kindle
15:32
Speaker 1: Unlimited membership. So if you haven't heard of this, you
15:37
Speaker 1: might have heard of it. If you haven't, it's basically
15:41
Speaker 1: a monthly subscription where you can just get books for free,
15:47
Speaker 1: like as many as you want that are available in
15:50
Speaker 1: Kindle Unlimited, and you basically borrow the books.
15:52
Speaker 2: And I think you can borrow.
15:54
Speaker 1: As many as twenty at once, and then when you
15:57
Speaker 1: finish it, you just put like you give it back,
16:00
Speaker 1: like you just return it to the Kindle Unlimited library.
16:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then you can borrow another one.
16:05
Speaker 2: Okay.
16:06
Speaker 1: So like if you read a lot of books, it's
16:09
Speaker 1: such a.
16:09
Speaker 2: Cost efficient way and you would think, oh yeah, but
16:11
Speaker 2: it's gonna have shit books, No, it doesn't.
16:14
Speaker 1: You get books like The Housemaid, which obviously is a
16:17
Speaker 1: best seller, Quicksilver by Cali Hart. You can also get
16:21
Speaker 1: like self help books like The Alchemist Subtle out of
16:24
Speaker 1: not giving a fuck, Like there are so many books
16:27
Speaker 1: available in Kindle unlimited that half the time when I
16:30
Speaker 1: go to, like download a book on Kindle to read it,
16:33
Speaker 1: it's in the membership, Like it's so cost efficient because
16:37
Speaker 1: you know, books are so expensive now, like and obviously
16:41
Speaker 1: as well, like there is the part of the conversation
16:44
Speaker 1: of like, you know, buying the books to support authors
16:46
Speaker 1: as well, which I do think is incredibly valid, and
16:49
Speaker 1: also supporting small bookshops and indie authors. But there is
16:53
Speaker 1: the part of the conversation of cost of living as well,
16:56
Speaker 1: and can people really afford to be paying you know,
17:00
Speaker 1: thirty five to forty dollars per book when they read a.
17:02
Speaker 2: Lot of books.
17:04
Speaker 1: There's obviously two parts to that conversation that I think
17:07
Speaker 1: if you can support you know, small bookshops, indie authors
17:10
Speaker 1: and all of that stuff, do that when you can.
17:13
Speaker 1: But this is a great way if you do read
17:15
Speaker 1: a lot of books and you know, feeling the Cozi
17:18
Speaker 1: Lives vibes.
17:19
Speaker 2: It's so good.
17:21
Speaker 1: It's amazing for summer as well, because I feel like
17:23
Speaker 1: I just churned through books and because how often do
17:26
Speaker 1: you really go back and reread the books in your kindle?
17:30
Speaker 2: Like very rarely. Well, you're just read.
17:32
Speaker 1: You can just read download it, Yeah, like if you
17:34
Speaker 1: wanted to just do that. If I really like book,
17:37
Speaker 1: I buy the physical version, yeah, especially if the cover
17:39
Speaker 1: is beautiful.
17:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you want it as part of a series
17:42
Speaker 2: or yeah that's also not custifishent but whatever?
17:47
Speaker 5: Okay, shall we get into the Chicks Best Investments.
17:50
Speaker 1: Best purchase of the year according to The Chicks in
17:53
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Okay, number one best purchase from the
17:56
Speaker 1: Chicks my Ura ring. So there was heaps that came
18:00
Speaker 1: through for this.
18:02
Speaker 2: We both bought Ora.
18:03
Speaker 5: Rings last year and we've been testing them for a year.
18:07
Speaker 2: I have mixed thoughts on it, so do I, and
18:09
Speaker 2: we spoke about it earlier this year, and I feel
18:11
Speaker 2: like my feelings have changed a little bit even since then,
18:14
Speaker 2: which I think can happen with any purchase.
18:17
Speaker 1: Yea.
18:17
Speaker 2: Initially, when I got the Ura ring, I did really
18:20
Speaker 2: like it. I've never used any sort of fitness tracker
18:22
Speaker 2: before beyond just the health app on my iPhone. So
18:26
Speaker 2: I really did enjoy it because you do get really
18:28
Speaker 2: good insights in terms of like your steps in your activity.
18:32
Speaker 2: The period tracker I found really really helpful because it
18:35
Speaker 2: monitors your body temperature and things like that. So sometimes
18:39
Speaker 2: I would be stressed if my period was late or
18:41
Speaker 2: if it was you know, if I was feeling like
18:44
Speaker 2: PMS symptoms early, I'd be like, what's going on? And
18:47
Speaker 2: then I'd be able to see that, like my body
18:48
Speaker 2: temperature had gone up, and I'd be like, oh, it's
18:50
Speaker 2: because like my period's still coming, or like I could
18:54
Speaker 2: just track that with a little bit more clarity, which
18:56
Speaker 2: I felt was really helpful. And then also the sleep
18:59
Speaker 2: track too, because I've never used any sort of sleep
19:02
Speaker 2: tracking before, and it really helped me realize, like, oh,
19:05
Speaker 2: if I have a Coke zero with dinner, then that
19:09
Speaker 2: means like I can see that that that's going to
19:11
Speaker 2: have an impact on my sleep, or if I drink alcohol,
19:14
Speaker 2: how that impacts my sleep, And it helped me, you know,
19:18
Speaker 2: make some of those other lifestyle changes to help me
19:22
Speaker 2: prioritize my sleep health. So I did really really enjoy
19:25
Speaker 2: it However, I think maybe what like probably three months
19:30
Speaker 2: ago now, Al was saying to me, oh, Rob, her partner,
19:34
Speaker 2: had noticed that the battery life in his order ring
19:37
Speaker 2: had dropped significantly. And it's supposed to last like what
19:40
Speaker 2: four to five days or something.
19:42
Speaker 1: I swear it says it's supposed to last like a week,
19:45
Speaker 1: and mine also stopped lasting long.
19:49
Speaker 2: So the thing with that is like, it's really really good.
19:53
Speaker 2: I really like it.
19:54
Speaker 1: The downfall was that, you know, it's close to one
19:57
Speaker 1: thousand dollars of what when we bought it because we
19:59
Speaker 1: had to from the US, it wasn't in Australia. Yeah,
20:02
Speaker 1: I think now it sits at around seven hundred to
20:03
Speaker 1: eight hundred for the gold. Right, for something that costs
20:06
Speaker 1: that much in a year, battery shouldn't be dying as
20:08
Speaker 1: quickly as it was. But in saying that, I will
20:12
Speaker 1: say that their customer service was really strong and really
20:16
Speaker 1: good and as soon as Rob Black messaged them about it,
20:19
Speaker 1: they looked and had could see that it was dying
20:22
Speaker 1: really quickly like the battery, and they replaced it straight away.
20:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, So like, yes, that's annoying.
20:28
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have to actually go to customer service and
20:30
Speaker 1: like maybe it was like only a certain batch of
20:32
Speaker 1: the product, but like mine did it and then yours
20:36
Speaker 1: did it.
20:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so currently it's like it only gives me
20:40
Speaker 2: about just over twenty four hours worth of battery, which
20:45
Speaker 2: just is an ideal because sometimes you forget to charge
20:49
Speaker 2: and then I'll like open up the app to look
20:50
Speaker 2: at my sleeve analytics and I'm like, fuck, like it
20:53
Speaker 2: died while I was sleaving, and that's really annoying. It's
20:55
Speaker 2: really annoying.
20:56
Speaker 1: Yeah.
20:56
Speaker 2: Someone said a sunrise alarm clock ooh, which a bit
21:02
Speaker 2: of a trend. I really like the alarm clocks, but
21:07
Speaker 2: I like it more because I enjoy the like color
21:10
Speaker 2: of like going to bed.
21:12
Speaker 1: I like how it incorporates into an evening routine. M
21:15
Speaker 1: I feel like my room gets pretty light with the
21:17
Speaker 1: sun anyway. Yeah, and yeah, I don't necessarily think it's
21:22
Speaker 1: completely like transformed my life, but it has benefited it.
21:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, does that make sense? Yeah, totally. A lot of
21:29
Speaker 2: people said robovas and robot vacuums, which we both also
21:33
Speaker 2: got in the last year, and I would agree.
21:36
Speaker 5: Is I think mine's changed my life.
21:38
Speaker 2: I really like it. I feel like it's really helped
21:41
Speaker 2: with the midweek cleaning routine and like staying on top
21:44
Speaker 2: of things, and I feel like it's helped reduce how
21:46
Speaker 2: much time I have to spend cleaning the house on
21:48
Speaker 2: a Saturday, which is really nice. And I agree. Yeah,
21:51
Speaker 2: you can get them for like a range of prices too,
21:53
Speaker 2: which is good.
21:54
Speaker 1: We'll do a quick fire of the worst impulse cheap
21:59
Speaker 1: deep Hop per Ooh.
22:02
Speaker 2: Yeah.
22:02
Speaker 1: That's the hard thing with deep Hop is that you
22:04
Speaker 1: can't return items. Yeah, and that I feel like I've
22:08
Speaker 1: been burned by a few things on there as well.
22:12
Speaker 2: Mecha holiday sets ooh tea spending ten thousand dollars for
22:18
Speaker 2: in visiline that I never wear my teeth aren't even bad.
22:22
Speaker 2: Someone said flower delivery, Oh you looked into that as
22:26
Speaker 2: a potential GI so expensive. I agree with that.
22:29
Speaker 1: A lot of things are like active where uber eats.
22:34
Speaker 1: Someone said tanning pills, don't buy those.
22:37
Speaker 2: That's scary. I was gonna say that sounds terrifying being
22:40
Speaker 2: a part of the Laboo bu phase. Oh so true.
22:45
Speaker 2: Useless juice cleanse lmeos oh a three hundred dollars taxi ride.
22:52
Speaker 2: I've had one of those before when I lived in Wollongong.
22:54
Speaker 1: That sucks gin membership, loll relatable international plane ticket, it's
23:00
Speaker 1: to see my ex.
23:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair. Food from my school canteen. I there
23:10
Speaker 2: was never a school canteen purchase that I regretted, say
23:13
Speaker 2: I missed them funly, Yeah, bring them back.
23:15
Speaker 5: We need school canteens for adults.
23:17
Speaker 1: Yeah.
23:18
Speaker 2: Everyone's like, it's a cafe, not the same. So I
23:21
Speaker 2: want to be able to write on a little brown
23:22
Speaker 2: paper bag and put like five dollars in it, and
23:25
Speaker 2: then agreed ninety dollars on a hut for my cat.
23:28
Speaker 1: He's used twice in like nine months. Literally a definition
23:30
Speaker 1: of having a cat just give him a box. And
23:32
Speaker 1: in that also is the Dice in Air app. Every
23:36
Speaker 1: year we do this episode, we always get chicks sending
23:40
Speaker 1: in how the diceon Air ap was their like worst
23:43
Speaker 1: investment of the year.
23:44
Speaker 2: And I obviously love mine, but it's definitely.
23:47
Speaker 1: A product you need to go and test and see
23:50
Speaker 1: if it works in your hair, because it works great
23:52
Speaker 1: on my hair, but like for you, so it doesn't
23:54
Speaker 1: work well on your hair.
23:55
Speaker 5: The chick that I got a coffee from this morning
23:57
Speaker 5: also said this.
23:58
Speaker 2: She was like, oh, I love your hair.
23:59
Speaker 1: She's like, what did you do it with and I
24:00
Speaker 1: was like, oh, a disonery and she's like, oh, it
24:02
Speaker 1: doesn't work on my hair, and I was like yeah,
24:03
Speaker 1: so fair.
24:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, so if you know somebody who has one, ask
24:06
Speaker 2: if you can borrow it. You can also go instore
24:09
Speaker 2: a diceon and do like a test. And like some
24:11
Speaker 2: stores they even do.
24:12
Speaker 1: Like the full hair wash and you can go and
24:14
Speaker 1: get a hair wash and blow dry for like fifteen
24:17
Speaker 1: bucks or something like that, potentially even free, I don't know.
24:20
Speaker 2: And I feel like that's a good test because if
24:22
Speaker 2: a professional who knows how to use the dicon has
24:25
Speaker 2: done yeah, and it still drops an hour later, it
24:27
Speaker 2: probably just doesn't suit your hair tight on.
24:30
Speaker 5: But yeah, interesting, Well that's a rep.
24:33
Speaker 2: Sorry this episode was all over. It was chaotic energy
24:37
Speaker 2: the end of the ear cheeks.
24:39
Speaker 5: But thanks for having us in your ear holes.
24:42
Speaker 2: We love Tobo who. We'll catch you next week for
24:46
