The Household Product Scam Costing You 10x More Than It Should

Troy reverse-engineers a household scam that's been ripping off every Australian kitchen for decades, and the fix costs 17 cents and a hot glue gun. Alex breaks down the only cold weather running gear you actually need (hint: it's less than you think), and we get deep into the unwritten lore of mine sites, from the Jesus Box to the Whack Pit.

In this episode:
- Troy's 17-cent hack that beats the $1.70 dishmatic refill scam
- The five points on your body that regulate your temperature and why gloves matter more than jackets
- What Alex actually wore running in Antarctica and why it wasn't much
- The toilet seat experiment that proves it was never about hygiene
- Fish and chip Friday, the Whack Pit, and how one person's joke becomes workplace law
- Troy's 3D printer saves hundreds on kitchen handles
- The spotted gum deck disaster and why pretty timber is warped timber
- Harry of the Week: Dylan Bai ran 48 hours in a Lakers jersey for charity
- Sydney Backyard Ultra update and Melbourne Front Yard Ultra hype
