We are completely running on empty today, legends. Between filming in the freezing Auckland cold and saying a tearful goodbye to our absolute favorite, Clara, the energy is low but the tea is piping hot. From breaking Dry July rules for a friend's late-night flat drama to figuring out who the real most eligible bachelor is, we are baring it all before our week off. You're definitely going to want to hear our thoughts on friendship boundaries before you text your group chat next.
What a day to be alive, eh? We are wrapping up our last podcast before heading off for a well-deserved week-long break, and honestly, the vibes are a beautiful mix of emotional, freezing, and flat-out exhausted. It’s Clara’s final day making our videos and lives, so if you hear us getting a little teary-eyed between the laughs, now you know why. We're sending her off with so much love, even if it means our energy is on absolute zero.
Before we spiraled too deep into our feelings, we had to unpack some major local magazine drama. Woman’s Day went and named Mitch Riedmann the most eligible bachelor in Auckland, but the crew has some thoughts on the photo they used. Meanwhile, Neeps is out here being called a true icon who might actually be the one stealing everyone’s hearts. It sparked a massive chat about dating culture—is being set up officially too much pressure, or is reconnecting with someone from your past the ultimate dream scenario?
We also dive into a serious debate about friendship etiquette and personal boundaries. What do you do when you've cancelled your plans specifically for some much-needed alone time, only for a mate to drop by unannounced and unload their flat drama until midnight? We talk about the importance of checking if someone's "bucket is full" before dumping your stress on them, and how an unexpected late-night venting session completely threw Dry July out the window.
To top it all off, Harrison got a massive dose of wholesome hero worship today. While filming with some local kindy kids, the little ones were absolutely glued to him after realizing they were in the presence of a Celebrity Treasure Island winner. We’re heading off to recharge our batteries now, eat some Thai food, and prepare ourselves for the future—because by the time we get back next week, Harrison will officially be hitting the big 4-0. See you then, legends!
