It's the Maori indigenous peoples.

[James Harris]

Where are they mainly indigenous to?

[Bondi Baron]

Oceania. Australia. New Zealand.

[James Harris]

Okay. Tasmania? You sure? I'm asking because I actually, bro, I.

[Bondi Baron]

Everything's a lie here. I. I thought that the. I thought the water was gonna flush the other way in the toilet. Biggest lie I've ever experienced in my life.

[James Harris]

That the first thing you did go right to the bathroom, hit the flush.

[Bondi Baron]

Not the first thing I did, but.

[James Harris]

I.

[Bondi Baron]

I realized I had to do that. And then by the time I. Before I could even do it, a friend informed me that there's not enough water volume in the toilet to actually make that happen.

[James Harris]

You didn't actually believe that.

[Bondi Baron]

Yes, I did.

[James Harris]

Stop.

[Bondi Baron]

Why would I not have. In Southern hemisphere, everything's different.

[James Harris]

Okay. Interesting. I. Yes. Okay.

[Bondi Baron]

Someone's like, yo, it's cold in Melbourne. I was like, oh, because it's like up in the north. Like. No, it's south. I'm like, oh, right. That makes sense.

[James Harris]

It's a 40 minute plane ride, but a nine hour drive. How does that make sense?

[Bondi Baron]

I don't know, bro. Let's get into real quick. Housekeeping.

[James Harris]

Good day. Okay.

[Bondi Baron]

Good day.

[James Harris]

Good.

[Bondi Baron]

Friday. It is Friday. Maybe it's Thursday. I don't know. We're 15 hours ahead. We are doing a live podcast at the Surplus Festival. We're doing live POD with Nigel Sylvester.

[James Harris]

We can say that.

[Bondi Baron]

Yeah. By the way, most Australian name of.

[James Harris]

All time, except it's from Jamaica, Queens.

[Bondi Baron]

Nigel Sylvester from Jamaica, Queens.

[James Harris]

Yeah.

[Bondi Baron]

At the Eternity Playhouse. Sneak in because I think tickets are already all accounted for.

[James Harris]

I don't know if you should encourage that.

[Bondi Baron]

Why not? It's Australia, man. It's chaos down here on Saturday.

[James Harris]

It's actually quite nice.

[Bondi Baron]

Come chill with us at the marketplace on day two of the Surplus Festival, which is happening at 21 F Street, Fowley. Don't know where that is.

[James Harris]

SH Street.

[Bondi Baron]

And then Sunday, Ferring Fitz Friends and Family Bazaar is going down at the East Sydney Comm Center.

[James Harris]

Century. Century. Yeah. We've. We've taken the bazaar on the road.

[Bondi Baron]

Yeah.

[James Harris]

And the first stop was Sydney, Australia, at the East Sydney Com. Centra.

[Bondi Baron]

Yeah. The only. The. All the homies of all the Aussie homies are going to be down there doing a group closet sale. Should be fun. All welcome.

[James Harris]

And that's the thing that we should mention for Saturday and Sunday programming. No tickets, no ballot entry. But that was. I don't know what that was, but there's none of that. And you can just come and hang out. We'll be there.

[Bondi Baron]

Come hang out. Yeah. All right. Let's get into a fit check.

[James Harris]

Yeah.

[Bondi Baron]

We got to start top down because we're. Everything's backwards here.

[James Harris]

Well, just holistically speaking, I did. I. I was inspired by a meme you made. When I saw the chicken breast and white rice.

[Instacart Advertiser]

Meme.

[James Harris]

I said, I have all these ingredients. Yeah.

[Bondi Baron]

My man has no paprika.

[James Harris]

To cook up a seasonless fit. Boots, jeans, flannel. But we are going top down.

[Bondi Baron]

Top down.

[James Harris]

The hat is interesting. It is a. A press. A bootleg that Chris Green made for the A press. A link up at Ven Case.

[Bondi Baron]

So damn, the white boys must have gone crazy for that one.

[James Harris]

Oh, you're looking at one white boy who was absolutely. I was howling like a cartoon wolf, dude.

[Bondi Baron]

None of that chicken. None of that chicken was seasoned. Were they okay with that? I get or did. They must have loved it.

[James Harris]

I think it was one of those things where it's like. It's not being advertised, but it is like a special little treat for the. The homies in Brooklyn.

[Bondi Baron]

For those that travel down to Carol Gardens. Yeah.

[James Harris]

So shout out Chris Green. Honestly, I was like, this is a genius idea. I absolutely need one of these. With the quickness ASAP on the A press A. Moving on down. The flannel is vintage Abber Cromie and Fitch. Oh, you're constipated, huh? Oh, I was expecting a poop or a fart. There he is. He's regular. We're traveling, but James is regular.

[Bondi Baron]

A little too regular.

[James Harris]

The. The be the loxa too regular.

[Bondi Baron]

We'll get into it. Okay.

[James Harris]

All right. The beater is Hanes. The jeans are our legacy workshop in pori. Armani collaboration. Socks are socks with three S's. And the boots are RM Williams. I got them today. Nice. Went to the store. My friends down under took care of me. When I think of Australian brands, if I was building out of Mount Rushmore, I definitely know the first two heads. In no particular order. It's Arm Williams since 1932. He just fart. No. Oh, I thought I heard you. I thought I saw you pull up and fart in your chair. And then obviously, ugh. Those are like at least where my mind goes. And these are my first pair of plumstone.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

For me, mint is still $15 a month for premium wireless. And if you haven't made the switch yet, here are 15 reasons why you should. One, it's $15 a month. Two, seriously, it's $15 a month. Three, no big contracts.

[Libsyn Ads Host]

Four, I use it.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

Five, my mom uses it.

[James Harris]

Are you.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

Are you playing me off? That's what's happening, right? Okay, give it a [e-mail] Switch upfront.

[T-Mobile Announcer]

Payment of 45 for 3 month plan.

[Dana]

15 per month equivalent required new customer.

[T-Mobile Announcer]

Offer for 3 months only. Then full price plan, options available, taxes and fees extra.

[Bondi Baron]

C mintmobile.com I've been seeing all those all the construction guys have been wearing Blundstones. And they.

[James Harris]

Honestly, they look good.

[Bondi Baron]

They're in their. They got the mullets going on. They got blunties and shorts. And we. We used to be pro Bluntstone, then we were Bluntstone because he didn't want to work with us after we moved millions of dollars of product for them. Now I'm like, the blunts look kind of good.

[James Harris]

They look. Listen, I think that whether it's a pair of Arm William Chelsea's or Blundstone Chelsea's, they look great when they're thrashed. But to get them to that point, you got to get a pair.

[Bondi Baron]

Wow, you really are back on the Chelsea, bro. You look like Kevin Federline going to brunch in 2002 right now.

[James Harris]

Thank you.

[Bondi Baron]

Yeah, this is a true Chelsea.

[James Harris]

That's what Arm Williams is, like, famous for. This is the comfort Craftsman with craftsman with the chiseled toe with the fucking double pull taps. They look good with a big boot cut jean like these.

[Bondi Baron]

I'll say that.

[James Harris]

I don't know if I would. If I would necessarily pull out anything slimmer or skinnier. Well, I wouldn't, regardless. But nothing to the left of a.

[Bondi Baron]

501 and no tariffs because it's a homegrown brand. Well, I don't know where it's made.

[James Harris]

But I'm just saying, like, they're made in Australia.

[Bondi Baron]

Okay.

[James Harris]

No. No tariffs. So shout out to my friends at Arm Williams.

[Bondi Baron]

Is this your first pair?

[James Harris]

I have. We have some fashion friends that have sworn by these for years, and I've never owned a pair and I've always kind of lusted after them. They're not cheap. I mean, it's a fucking homegrown, well made OG classic in terms of, like, menswear essentials. And I finally got my own pair, however many years later.

[Bondi Baron]

Nice.

[James Harris]

Yeah.

[Bondi Baron]

How's the store?

[James Harris]

I went to? So they have. They have a bunch. But I went to the flagship and it was. And they have so much shit. Do they got fucking jewelry? They got fucking. Fucking, like good Australian Western wear. Sick. Yeah.

[Bondi Baron]

Out in the bush.

[James Harris]

Yeah, it's bushware. Yeah. 100. That's exactly what it's for, the bush.

[Bondi Baron]

Call me Klabiya, because I'm dripping in the bush.

[James Harris]

No, that's absolutely, absolutely filthy episode title. That's disgusting.

[Bondi Baron]

Dripping in the bush.

[James Harris]

I mean, I got my laptop here for this very reason, so you might as well. No, maybe. I mean, listen, you open the Pandora's box. Dripping in the bush. We don't need to Say chlamydia. That's what all the koalas have?

[Bondi Baron]

Yeah, yeah.

[James Harris]

Damn, dude. Somebody with a K. So that is like. So. Whereas in other parts of the world the bird would on you. But in Australia, koala drips chlamydia on you.

[Bondi Baron]

I don't know. I'll tell you tomorrow when I media discharge. Unfortunately, the breakfast with koalas at the Sydney Wildlife Zoo was sold out.

[James Harris]

I thought they're mad dangerous and like, actually are. They look cuddly, but are.

[Bondi Baron]

Yeah, but it's a zoo, so I'm sure they're drugged out.

[James Harris]

Yeah, docile, pilled up like Jimmy on the.

[Bondi Baron]

On the 747.

[James Harris]

Wait, so you were gonna buy. You're gonna buy a t. Have an avocado toast with a koala?

[Bondi Baron]

Yes.

[James Harris]

It sold out.

[Bondi Baron]

Yeah, for like two weeks. So instead I got just a regular ticket and a photo op with a koala for like an extra seven bucks.

[Libsyn Ads Host]

Photo op?

[Bondi Baron]

Because it's the only way you get like close to them. I want to see this little up close.

[James Harris]

I mean, I'm surprised cuz obviously you've been using Sora too. You've just been burning through water so you could already get your photo op with koalas.

[Bondi Baron]

Oh, right. You're referencing something I did a week ago.

[Libsyn Ads Host]

Cool.

[James Harris]

I know. You know why? Because I was shocked because I thought you would be like, this is like a bad thing?

[Bondi Baron]

Sort of.

[James Harris]

Is this called sort of Sora? I know, but isn't the app Sora too? Like with the two you have the one who has it on his phone?

[Bondi Baron]

I don't know, I think it's just Sora.

[James Harris]

What is. Is that free?

[Bondi Baron]

It's free, but you need an invitation. I think it's invite only right now.

[James Harris]

Are you. Is the feed just like busting with the most ridiculous shit like Jalen hurts as Hitler? No.

[Bondi Baron]

Well, it's a lot of Queen Elizabeth committing acts of violence.

[James Harris]

Sweet.

[Bondi Baron]

A lot of mlk I have a dream speech remixed with like, you know, modern day slang.

[James Harris]

Yeah, I have a dream that everyone could have big booty Latinas.

[Bondi Baron]

A lot of Jake Paul in ring camera footage being like blown away by a storm. But apparently he as a big SORA investor, is behind.

[James Harris]

Oh, wow. Jake Paul.

[Bondi Baron]

Proliferation of memes on there.

[James Harris]

God damn it.

[Bondi Baron]

Dude, What a genius, bro.

[James Harris]

Or how can we just get rid an evil genius? How do we get rid of this guy? I guess we just have to accept Jake Paul. We're just. We're at the stage of grief where.

[Bondi Baron]

It'S just acceptance Just like AI. We got to just accept it.

[James Harris]

Damn, dude. Okay, photo ops with quality. I guess we'll talk more. I would love to like, know how much that cost.

[Bondi Baron]

It's kind of it.

[James Harris]

Oh, how much was it?

[Bondi Baron]

$30, $35 Australian dollars, U.S. oh, okay. So ticket and the photo op.

[James Harris]

Can you. The photo op costs more like seven bucks.

[Bondi Baron]

That's like a complimentary add on and.

[James Harris]

You'Re gonna have the. Just gonna be like chilling on, like touch them.

[Bondi Baron]

You can't touch them because you just gotta get close. Yeah, you just got to get close to them.

[James Harris]

It's like, like Keanu Reeves taking a picture with a woman fan. You're just like, you know, I don't.

[Bondi Baron]

Know if the koala, you know, maybe it's traumatized of how it got chlamydia. So I don't want to like, I can't ask for it.

[James Harris]

Are you. Are you implying it caught it from a person who fucked it?

[Bondi Baron]

No, I'm saying from another koala.

[James Harris]

Yeah, I assume that's how it works, right?

[Bondi Baron]

They.

[James Harris]

They. They procreate and they give each other venereal diseases.
