Coles Scammed Every Australian And Nobody Noticed

Hannah finally cracked the sourdough code, Coles got caught running one of the most genius scams in Australian retail history, and we found three small things that gave us outsized returns in life. Plus we get into whether your wife not taking your last name should be a deal breaker. Spoiler: we don't agree on everything.

- Hannah's cheese and jalapeno sourdough and the evolution from banana bread baddie to bread baking bad bitch
- The Coles down down scam broken down with real examples of how they inflated prices before fake discounts
- Three things that gave us outsized returns: making your bed, suck and sweet of the day, tracking calories for one month
- Moving away from your hometown and going backpacking as life-changing low-cost decisions
- Running without headphones and why 40km of silence hit different
- Fuelling for the Melbourne front yard ultra and going from 2000 to 3500 calories a day
- Would your wife not taking your last name be a deal breaker and why hyphenation is the lamest compromise
- Engagement rings, the psychology of price, and the bloke who recycled a ring to his next partner
- The early knock at work and why Melbourne city commuters look so depressed
- Scooters in the city as a genuine life hack and why motorbikes are too slow to dismount
