⚡️➰ EP 147 OUT NOW! Links in bio! Exploring all things ‘Loopholes’ ➰⚡️

This episode is a wild ride, and to think in 2 of the segments Bec and Jono were worried they’d talk about the same thing …

- we’ve got an interesting story of a couple who used a loophole to absolutely win the rental game
- to Bec’s segment with in-depth research and customer feedback on the conveyor-toaster
- Jono’s sharing hilarious stories of ‘Malicious Compliance’
- and we finish with a quiz on one of the most loopy topics ever … loop the loop rollercoasters 🎢

It’s a GREAT one and we’re having a wild time in the lead up to our 150th episode!!!!! Save the date: live show on 7th April!!! 💛⚡️

🚪 THANK GOD YOU’RE HEARING THIS - we’re claiming the first ever podcast segment of Thank God You’re Here🚪 Episode 125 links in bio - “Commitment to the Bit”!

Growing up, we were both huge fans of the hit comedy improv show Thank God You’re Here, and we are watching the new comeback season with a lot of nostalgia and laughs.

We’ve tried improv before on the show, but this one … it takes the cake. Using the classic TGYH formula, we’ve developed an improv show for the ears, and one that would definitely take home the trophy. 🏆 Or will it??? Well, that’s up to you to decide.

Our 4th segment featured on episode 125, ‘Commitment to the Bit’! Go listen now and let us know your thoughts. 👀⚡️

🍩 TRY IT LIVE!! Latest episode 124 - links to listen in our bio! 🍩

Okay … we’ve grown to expect that ‘Big Milk’ will infiltrate our Try It Live segment, but one that we didn’t see coming was ‘Big Cinnamon Donut’!

This is the second Cinnamon Donut flavoured Try it Live we’ve had in a few months … and we’re getting suspicious.

But of course, what we’re we going to do?! Not try it??? Don’t be ridiculous.

We’ve tried it and reviewed it so you can make an informed purchasing decision next time you’re looking for a snack. But we’re not giving that review away for nothing!!!

Head to the links in our bio to listen to episode 124, “We have *blank* at home” - prepare yourself to be zapped with weird news, and incredible reviews. ⚡️💛
