Jeff explains how he can accumulate points for free flights and other purchases. three two one I'm Jeff and I'm Russ and welcome to the party we nearly got it nearly but um yeah here we are again yeah this is episode 3 that's exciting we're getting there it's almost episode hundred it's not only 97 to go. The countdown's on. Yeah right, it was a count up. Count up. That's weird. It is a count down technically a count up. Is it a count down? It's going up. It is a count up technically. But has anyone ever said count up? I have now. That is terrible. What Trent said. That is horrible. He's working through us to say these kind of things. That is horrible. This is his work. Here we are today. What's been happening Russ? Mate, um look it's um it's been another week of school and you know where I'm getting into trials now you know we've we've had a few and they're getting there like it's not it's not necessarily enjoyable but it's good having little breaks between anyway to do a few fun things and whatnot yeah that's life isn't it? It's life in the fast lane. We've got some exciting topics to bring up. For sure. Let's talk about a little certain something we found Russell. What's that? A little certain something? Well when you. Did you just say a bush bashing adventure? Yeah yeah so we went on a little adventure. Got my little Lancer. Went for a little rumble. Didn't go very far on the Lancer though. Yeah we didn't go the whole way but um we went to this old quarry in this old like um abandoned road so we walked along that for a bit and I had this faint memory of this like structure being off in the distance so we veered off the track a little bit and we were greeted by a gigantic gigantic electric fence with dead bodies hanging off it. I don't think that's what happened. Isn't that right Russell? I don't think that's what happened. There were pitchforks with people hanging off them and Russell's like let's go in. Alright Justin yeah I did say let's go in but I don't think it was that bad. It was it was just just a gate with a chain and a lock on it and I said. And dead people. There were no dead people. There was one dead kangaroo. Dead kangaroos that's enough. That is a testimony to our fate. Right. Anyway we went in. We went through this gate and we followed this little this little path. It wasn't much of a path really it was kind of a small clearing. Anyway we made our way down this little hill and then we came round a corner and I just felt like I was at home. And I felt like I was in hell. Well I don't know about that but it was it was pretty cool. You've got to admit it was pretty cool. Once you were in there you were dead. It was cool but it was it was scary. It was not scary. I'm going to put it down. I'm going to put it out there. Alright. It was scary. Look. I saw people walking around. They were literally chained on. You and me and one of us. To be honest. No it was it was fine it was fine like we went inside. Oh we busted the door down. Yeah yeah a bit of fireman duties you know. Yeah yeah yeah. It's all legal. And what did you say? Deceased. I don't know. Did the police say that or something? I've never heard that. Anyway it was pretty sick hey we went in there we found a few fun things and you know. Yeah it was sick. Yeah it was pretty cool. It was cool and it was really nice in there. It was. I reckon we go back there and do a camp out with the boys. I say we do it up. It's on the table. I say we do it up and like fully like make it a mad little hang spot. It'd be sick. A little cabin. A little wooden cabin in the woods. Let's get to that another time. Alright. Let's get to that another time. Alright. Let's put that on the back burner for now. Yes yes. Where did you find this one? What's that? Magnifying glass. This magnifying glass. It's funny you say that. Let's just say that this shack wasn't my first rodeo in an abandoned house. Wow Russell's in an abandoned house is kind of mean. Oh I'm what they call an urban explorer. An urban explorer. That's what they call you. Yeah they do call me that. It's just a little place that I came across and they had a few little things hanging around that look like they've just been left there. So we repurposed them. Take it to a good home. It's actually a pretty good magnifying glass. Best I've ever used. Really? Yeah yeah. I kind of took it apart. I actually thought you broke it for a second. No no no. It's too much for that. She's good. She's good. Ready? Hold on. Hold on. Oh yeah that works. It's a bit blurry. You're a bit blurry. Is it not a bit blurry? Try that. I don't think so. Tell me if I'm a bit blurry. Or am I just blind? It's a bit blurry. It's funny. It's blurry. It's really funny. No but it works fine. Yeah that looks fine when you look at it. Yeah okay when you do it from a distance. You don't have it up in your face. Yeah. Well there's another abandoned place that we were looking at. The Notre Dame Zoo. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Yeah. That's sick. It had another name didn't it? Notre Dame Zoo or something else. I don't know. But like that was privately owned by a guy that had his own private zoo. Yeah. I mean it was corrupt. This is like in the 70s. Yeah. It was corrupt. I mean there's animal cruels here. I don't think he was a very nice guy. No. No it wasn't. But it was pretty sick. Like he had a full mansion like in the middle of this place. Yeah. And he had some special piano. The first. Yeah it was like um. Piano played by someone? Yeah. Yeah. It was played by um a famous classical musician. I can't remember which one though. But it was pretty sick. No it was pretty sick. Yeah. Yeah. And yeah we may have thought about going there. We thought about it. Did a bit of research but. It's a bit of a distance isn't it? It's a bit of a distance. Bit of a detour. But it turns out there are like caretakers to look after the place. Yeah. So it's a bit sketchy to go in there. Yeah. It is. We don't want any confrontation. We don't want to cause any trouble or anything. We're not troublemakers. We're just curious. Yeah. Speaking of curiosity. Yep. We have something to try today. We do. We don't have any drinks today to test out. But. But we do have a raspberry and white chocolate serrally cheesecake. Now ignore the half that's missing. For those of you who are watching. We have not tried this before. This is it. That's a disclaimer. That's. We've not tried this before. Never. First time. This is a first time review. So I'm gonna just do that one. If it comes out dirty I've kissed an it. Alright. That's gonna be an exception to the one take policy. Get the wooden elephant on the shelf over there. The wooden elephant. Alright let's get this one up without. Oh. Without. Oh I'm a bit of a goofer aren't I? That just bothered me. You did that to yourself. Let me get a bit of this. Oh my god. Why would you do that? I'm fixing it. Alright. There we go. Look where'd my raspberry go. I wonder where it went. That zine. That is so sweet. It's got a zine to it. I really love the raspberry. What do you think Russ? Cheesecake's got me sold. I like the raspberry it's very sweet. It's a bit tangy though. And I like the little like the little um what are they called? Choc chips. Yeah little choc chips on top. I reckon it has a nice little crunch almost to it. Is this your little Woolies promo that you're trying to fit into the potty? Is that what you're trying to do? Hey guys go to Woolies and check out the cheesecakes. Pretty good. Got a lot of other things on special there. You can get some nice things for your family. Some fruit and veg. Watch in season. You get some broccoli and some. Broccoli. And if you use my rewards card. That's a whole other story. Use your Woolies rewards card. Let me actually tell you right. I've got this whole thing going on with um quantity points at the moment. So I never knew about it before but because I get my um employee bonus thing. I get um 10 times points on my purchases. Yeah right. Oh no maybe it's three. I get three and I can activate boosters and they add like add it up and whatever. So anyway say I've got three times points and you know I give it to my mum and dad and do it on their shopping and they spend 300 400 bucks something like that. That literally gives me like 2000 bonus points. Now that doesn't sound like a lot but if we start putting this into perspective. So say that's a weekly shop and I got 2000 points every weekly shop. I can get a free flight from here to Rome for 50 000 of them. So if I'm getting 2000 every week that's eventually going to build up. That it might take a year but after a year that's complete like that that shopping isn't like we're going out of our road to buy that shopping. We have to buy it either way. Yeah well if you're getting 2000 a week for 32 weeks in a year. Yeah that's where's my where's my calculator. Let me let me get this one back out. That's pretty good like yeah you're going to save it from that. It's an awesome program too because you can actually use it to um you can use it to purchase even like Apple products. Use quantum points for that. You can use it to pay for fuel. You can use it to pay for anything and they offer points on so many different things. So if you're ordering stuff on like Apple's website they'll give you a point for every dollar you spend or Adidas or Nike or surf stitch or anything. But they pretty much support like the top X amount of brands or whatever. That's good. So I reckon I should recommend this is not in any way sponsored by the way but I do recommend you actually go give them give them a follow. It's worth signing up. That's all I'm saying. Authorized by Woolworths Corporation Canberra. How many weeks do you say they're in a year? She said 32. 52. You said 32 weeks. Did I? You said 32 weeks. It's on the party. You're an idiot. Maybe you did. Maybe I'm just tripping. Well I said 52 that time. 2,000 times 52 is 104,000. There you go. That means I can go to Rome and back free each year. That's good. Just by my shopping and that's just my parents shopping. I use it myself and that like gets me heaps of points and there's extra boosters that can give me more points and stuff like that. I also get money back on my fuel. Tell you what though I'll probably be using it along my shopping because like I was thinking about it last week right now that I'm you know set up on my own for a bit I was doing my shopping in town and I'm probably I only spent like maybe 30 40 bucks on shopping. That's a good shop. Yeah it is a good shop but in saying that like I've done bigger shops like I've worked 100 bucks. Yep. You really can't get a lot for 100 bucks unless you're really careful about what you buy. Oh you can't. Look we sound old talking about this and we're only 18 but inflation is real. It's mad. It's real. It's out there. It can bite you. Put your tinfoil hat back on Russell. What have I been telling you? You get in the bunker. You get in the bunker. But seriously like as a Woolworths employee I see the price of cheese go up I swear every bloody four times. I know it sounds ridiculous but even dares recently they just went up price. Yeah. So they actually used to be $4.90 and now it's $5 and you can actually really see like the effect of psychological marketing and respect that I always thought $4.90 that's all right but I could tell between the swap between like even though it's only a 10 cent swap going to $5 sounds so much more expensive like five bucks for a dare. Yeah. That's pretty expensive like and I looked at the price history on my gun so I can scan it and check what its price history was and in 2015 they were $3 like just in general like without sales. Wow that's good. That's crazy isn't it? Yeah. I bought them $3 on sale but I think they're like 40% off or something. Wow yeah right. You know what I've been getting into though because like I've kind of looked at like obviously when you're in town it's pretty easy to stop by and go oh yeah I'll grab a drink and yeah you know just spend like four bucks or five bucks on a drink. I've actually been getting into the kombuchas that you can get from like Woolies and stuff. Yeah. They can at times be like a couple dollars cheaper. Yeah. At least 50 cents cheaper and yeah like they're so much healthier than half the drinks you'd buy. So you're a kombucha drinker? I'm a kombucha drinker. I tried kombucha because I worked at a health food store myself. Yeah yeah yeah. And we had like a little like self-dispensary thing. Oh that's cool. So it was like off tap like it was and back then because I was under age I was like oh it's like a grown-up thing like here's my pub card just want that on tap. Yeah yeah and you get. I wanted two of his kombucha. You bring in like the moonshine bottles like they literally gave complimentary like brewing out the back. Yeah they brew it out the back. Like I used to be out there with a big cauldron just staring like leaves and. Like some hillbilly playing a banjo right next to you. Yeah and it's Russell. What? But no like I tried getting into it. Yeah. It's not bad but it just has a weird like. It's. I'm a sugar man. Unfortunately sugar has me hooked. Oh for sure. Me too but I don't know with kombuchas there's different ways of making them and it kind of depends on what you put in it too I think. Yeah there are some that I have tried they're great. Homemade ones a lot better than like my boss makes the best kombucha. Really? Seriously oh incredible. Yeah right. I tell you what though in that section there is a tangerine drink and let me tell you it is divine. Yeah. It's spectacular it is otherworldly it is phenomenal it is extravagant it is monumental. Okay all right. It is. All right Justin T. No it's actually insane it's really good it it's like not on orange juice it's like they've got mandarins because you know like the difference between orange like the taste of an orange and a mandarin a mandarin has like that a bit more of a sweet zingy. Oh I know what a mandarin tastes like. Mandarins taste schmick anyway. It's like someone's got a mandarin and squeezed it into a bottle. Dang. It is so good. It is actually so good. Mandarin juice never heard of that hey. I've never heard of it either because is a tangerine a mandarin? No. They've got to be the close. No tangerine is not a mandarin a mandarin is a mandarin tangerine is tangerine. You're all you're an idiot. Well it's true. But are they like the same species or whatever you know like how they're like different genders are the same thing. They're still citrus. Are they citrus? Yeah. No like okay there's like navel orange and there's orange orange and stuff like that. But like is there like is that like a form of mandarin? No an orange is an orange a mandarin is a mandarin they're separate they're different. No tangerine. You said a mandarin. No I said tangerine. What is a tangerine? Is it its own thing? I don't know. It tastes like mandarin juice. Maybe it is mandarin tangerine. No. They sound the same. I don't know. I don't name these things. Oh that's funny. Probably Robert Van Winkle I don't know. That was Robert Van Winkle. I don't know. That's so good. I'm going to name my son Robert Van Winkle. Winkle. It's very easy. Winkle. Anyway I've got Winkle. Yeah righto. But I'll tell you what mandarins are pretty good. There's nothing better than picking fruit straight off a tree and mung them down on it. I think it's great. That's so true. I love fresh mandarins though. We actually recently bought a lemonade tree. Have you tried lemonade? I love lemonade dude. You can make some awesome juice from that. Lemonade is spectacular and for like you guys that don't know it's a cross between lemon and ape. No the reason they call it lemonade is because it quite literally tastes like the drink lemonade. But what I've heard is it's natural as well. It is natural. It's not actually like a genetically modified thing. No it's a natural fruit but it just tastes like lemonade. It's like a sweet lemon. Basically yeah. Yeah it's like a sweet lemon and it's not sour. So like it's it's got that nice lemony taste. Yeah but it's not like it doesn't suck your life out of your face. Like you know when you bite into a lemon and like your mouth like tenses up. I love it. I love just intentionally just biting into a lemon. It's fun. Do we have a lemon here? We do actually. I might get a lemon. Sure we cut it open and we just have a little lemon challenge right now dude. So you can eat the lemon the quickest. We got a knife? Yeah we do. You bet we do. This is a bad idea. It's been a while since I've had a lemon. You put it in the bowl. I can smell it already. Can you? Is it like a potent? Am I gonna make it into like a bite piece? Yeah yeah do that do that. Dude I haven't had lemon in so I don't know how I feel about this. You know how your mouth waters? It's the way I'm already feeling it. My cheeks are already tensing up. Like my face is like morphing into something. Mate give us that knife just let me. Oh I feel like I just squeezed out a bit in my eye. Don't do that I'm going to have a sting. Oh I feel like I've dropped my eye. You know like how you're not meant to touch your face and you have like chilli on your fingers and stuff like that? Yeah. I swear every time I get chilli on my fingers I'm like always like. You're just touching your face. My eyes start feeling like they need to be itched. I'm like what? Yeah well I wouldn't. What are you doing? You're trying to get the middle thingy out. You're taking all the juice out of it. That'll do that'll do. I actually don't want to do this. I wonder what my name is. You do it I'll do it. 3, 2, 1. Oh that wasn't so bad. It wasn't as bad but I like chomped into the bloody heart of friggin nut. Ever. That wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I thought it was pretty bad. Your face right now. Oh like I said it's been a while since I've had a lemon. It's nice. It's refreshing. It's not bad. It's got straight lemon juice. It's pretty good. Actually that tastes really nice in the raspberry cheesecake. Like a zesty lemon. Yeah. I love lemons. I like lime. Lime's good too. Lime? Is there really a difference between the taste though? One's green and one's yellow. I said the taste. One tastes green and one tastes yellow. Exactly. No they are different. They're definitely different. We don't have lime here unfortunately. Oh shoot. Wait no they're tomatoes. Oh you're still going. That one was worse. That was like really? Double take. Double take. That was terrible. Anyway that's good. Yeah so what else Russ? What else is a topic? Nothing much happening in my world at the moment. What about yours? Yeah well I've just been fluffing around and editing the vlog. It's been pretty good. Is the Central Coast Pet Pat yet? It is. It is. It is officially out. Make sure you guys check that one out and we'll leave that in the description for you guys to have a little squiz at. Yeah definitely. That's pretty jam packed hey? It is. It took a while to do but it came out really nice. It was worth it. It took me a couple business days. It took you a few business days. A few business weeks. A few business months. Business years. Decades. That's good. Speaking of which, do you actually mail anything to anyone ever now? Mail? Yeah. Do you think that Australia Post is going to disappear in the next five years? I mean like nah. No they won't because even if they're not sending postcards or bloody letters out they're still like think of how much online shopping we do nowadays. They're still going to deliver. That being said though those companies that you're buying from often do a lot of the transport themselves with their own legislation. Although they have couriers and stuff like think of like where we are like really rural areas a lot of couriers won't come out that far. Yeah they'll drop off to the nearest post office and then the posties bring it out. Yeah. Not to mention they'll just come out with these new electric postie trikes which I think look ridiculous. I laugh whenever I see them on the road. Do they have any of them around our school? I feel like I... Yeah we see them on the road. They just drive on the actual road. They drive on the road. Yeah yeah. Do you reckon they actually get some good speed? I don't know. Could you take that on the highway? That is a great idea. I'm digesting. Actually someone was telling me it might have been you but about someone that got one of the electric scooters and they modified it so that like it didn't have a bypass to stop a speed limit and they went on the highway and they were doing like 120 and they got chased by police on a thing. Wouldn't the wind blow off the bloody thing? I don't know about that. I feel like you'd start having death wobbles and then you'd stack it. Imagine cranking 120 on a... On a two wheel, both feet up. Oh no! And you'd get a bump and you wouldn't want to do that, hey. Get the spare out, chase the tyre, get the spare out while the police are chasing you. Where would you keep the spare on an electric scooter? Would you strap it to your back? They're not that big. Stand on it? They're not that big. Yeah but see... Scooter wheels. Actually they're pretty big on the... But nor is the actual deck of the scooter so we're going to strap it to the handlebar? You'd have one in your bag maybe. Yeah true. I reckon that's where you'd have it. Yeah probably. I reckon that's the thing. Yeah once again we've got to pray at the start. We do at the end. We get too keen. We get talking and then we just ramble on. Yeah we really need to get into a bit more habit of starting that thing but do you want to kick us off for us and kick us on? What did we say last potty? What did we say? Hit us down or something like that? Hit us down. That'll do. Let's do it. Let's hit us down with a bit of prayer. Yeah father look thanks again for another episode of The Potty God. Thank you that we've got people that are just interested in hearing what we have to say Lord. Not that we've got anything constructive to say really. It's just us rambling on Lord. Look yeah we just pray that you can guide us and show us what you want us to say God and we can yeah just do your work and yes have fun while doing it. Thanks for the week Lord and we continue to pray for trials as we come into our second week of trials now Lord and yeah we just hope that you can help everyone study hard and be prepared for everything and all those who are tuning in who aren't in school Lord. Just be with them in their lives and as they go through work and whatever else they're doing. Yeah just be with them and yeah be with us as we continue to do the potty. Amen. Amen. Too easy brother. All right mate. Well potty. As always I'm Jeff. I'm Russ. And welcome to the...
