$13,500 A Week Bondi Beach Rental Is The Perfect ‘Kick On’ Pad

Sydney Rentals be crazy – For just under fourteen grand a week, you can rent huge penthouse apartments that have beautiful views of Bondi Beach.

Bondi is home to Australia’s most famous beach but that’s one of the main reasons it’s one of the most expensive places to live in New South Wales.

And if you’re wondering just how pricey rental properties can get, take a look at this opulent apartment now available for rent in the famed Aussie suburb.

This beachfront apartment – available for a whopping $13, 500 a week – is a four-bedroom penthouse, located on Campbell Parade. Obviously, as it’s beachfront, it has seriously stunning views of Bondi Beach.

Spanning over two floors, the apartment has a private sky pool, a spacious living room, multiple balconies and five bathrooms. The top floor of the apartment is essentially the master bedroom but it’s huge; it has an en suite, lounge area and private deck.

The $13, 500 weekly rental fee does include all utilities and the apartment comes fully furnished; what a bargain, right?

It is when compared to another penthouse that’s also currently available for rent. Located on Campbell Parade too, this apartment shares many of the same features as the first one: it’s $13, 500 per week (including utilities), it’s a double-story, has awesome views of Bondi Beach and comes fully furnished.

Imagine waking up to this view. Image Credit: Domain

However, despite being the same price, this penthouse only has three bedrooms and four bathrooms; and doesn’t have a pool… But who needs a pool when the beach is literally just there?

To be completely honest, both apartments look incredible and if I had that much money to play around with, I’d definitely be booking an inspection ASAP…

Was Seinfeld Actually Funny? This Footage May Change Your Mind

In the late 1950s, sitcoms started using laugh tracks and they’re still used in many comedy shows today. But did you know that laughing is contagious? According to a study by Live Science, when you see or hear someone else laughing your brain automatically responds and makes you smile and/or laugh.

This then begs the question: are sitcoms actually funny? Or do we just laugh as an automatic response to hearing the laugh track? Let’s look at Seinfeld – one of the most popular sitcoms of all time.

The series ran for nine seasons from 1989 to 1998 and cemented Jerry Seinfeld – who prior to the show was a successful stand-up comedian – as a comedy legend.

Seinfeld recorded most scenes in front of live-studio audiences and in those scenes, the audiences’ laughs and reactions were used on the show – which kind of proves that many Seinfeld scenes were genuinely funny because the audience laughed without being prompted to.

The pilot episode of Seinfeld back in 1990.

However, Jerry Seinfeld confirmed on a Reddit AMA thread, that some scenes were not filmed in front of an audience and those did have a “subtle laugh track” added to them; although he admitted it was a tough decision to do so.

“This was something we struggled with quite often on Seinfeld. Because we had real laughs on the scenes that were shot in front of an audience, but then we would shoot other scenes that were not in front of the audience (which didn’t have any laughs) and then it felt like a bit of a mismatch, so we tried to compromise and put in a subtle laugh track.”
Jerry Seinfeld

One of the most famous episodes of Seinfeld is The Soup Nazi – an episode revolving around a chef who has very strict rules on how to order his soup and if customers don’t play along, he refuses them their order and shouts, “No soup for you!”

The episode is universally considered hilarious, but one Youtube user, Copperpot5, has edited out the laugh track from a few scenes in The Soup Nazi. Without the laugh track, the first couple of scenes are a tad awkward and aren’t belly-laugh-funny; they’re just mildly humorous.

However, when Jerry pretends not to know his girlfriend just for soup and when Elaine teases the Soup Nazi that she’s gotten ahold of all his recipes, I genuinely laughed; meaning Seinfeld holds up, even without a laugh track.

Of course, this is just my opinion, and humour is subjective, so you can make up your own mind by watching Copperpot5’s The Soup Nazi edit below:

Bulgarian Split Squats: How To Do The Most Hated Exercise In Existence

Leg exercises generally receive a lot of hate in the fitness world. Nobody really wants to commit to a leg day, but it is entirely necessary to avoid chicken leg ridicule. And, while there may be a number of barbell squat variations and lunges you can perform, no leg exercise causes quite as much gruelling pain as the Bulgarian split squat.

But, get through the pain and you’ll be rewarded with one of the most effective leg exercises around. First things first, however, is mastering the technique.

How To Perform A Bulgarian Split Squat

Set-Up

There are actually two variations of the Bulgarian split squat you can perform. One targets your glutes and the other targets your quads. The set-up changes depending on which muscle group you want to hit, albeit only slightly.

Both variations require your rear foot to be elevated, inducing the ‘split’ in the split squat. To elevate your rear foot, you will need to secure yourself a muscle bench. From here, as British personal trainer, Tom Bailey PT says, you can opt to have your rear foot flat on the bench, with your laces touching the bench. Or, if this causes cramps in your foot, you can simply press your toes into the bench.

He adds that if you need to go with the toes down approach, then you can do away with the muscle bench and simply use an elevated platform that is lower than the bench, but that will still elevate your rear foot above your front.

Tom says this “allows full depth without limiting the hip flexors.”

Performing

One of the most common pitfalls of people not being able to perform the Bulgarian split squat properly is that they lose their balance during the movement. To help alleviate this happening – and if you’re new to the movement entirely – then it’s recommended that you perform it using just bodyweight, before adding some dumbbells into the mix.

Tom touches on this subject, explaining that if you find it hard to balance, then “start with your feet shoulder-width apart and take the leg back in a straight line onto the bench, instead of having the rear foot lined up behind the front.”

He adds that having this wider diagonal stance will provide greater balance during the movement.

Glute Variation

If you want to use the Bulgarian split squat to target your glutes, then once you have your rear foot on the bench, you’ll want to step forward with your leading foot. From here, hinge your hips back so that your upper body is at an angle.

Then, drop your rear knee to the floor and push back up through the heel of your leading foot.

Quad Variation

If you want to target your quad muscles (this is the version that can make even the toughest men cry) then you’ll want to have your leading foot brought back closer to the bench and your upper body remain upright.

To perform the squat movement, push your leading knee forward and your rear knee comes down the ground. Again, push back up through the heel of your leading foot.

Tom adds that if you really want to cause yourself some pain but place even more emphasis on building your quads, then you can use a heel wedge placed under your leading foot. If you’re new to the Bulgarian split squat, then we’d recommended not doing this until you have the movement nailed down to perfection.

After completing the Bulgarian split squat for a few weeks using just bodyweight, you can start thinking about introducing dumbbells, by holding one in each hand. Start off using a lightweight, because it’s going to burn. But those muscles aren’t going to grow themselves…

How Business Class Has Changed Over The Last 40 Years

British Airways was the first airline to launch a fully flat business class seat, at the turn of the Millenium. In the 20 years before that (but especially during its first 10 years, in the 1980s), business class was just a glorified version of economy. Now, of course, it’s all suites and sliding doors. Here’s how the transition occurred; how business class has changed over the last 40 years.

Let’s rewind for a second and strap ourselves back into the 1990s (don’t worry, we’ll eventually go back even further). Back then business class looked very different. Business class had only been around for just over a decade in 1990, after airlines started to realise at the very end of the 1970s that they could provide regular fliers with a nicer experience (and make money out of it).

First class cabins had existed, in various shapes and forms, since as early as 1955. And the idea behind that was simple: give people willing to pay substantially more, a much better experience. But business class was conceived of as a way to give loyal (and slightly deeper-pocketed) economy passengers more space, without charging them an arm and a leg (oh, how things have changed).

In this way, ‘business class’ (though it wasn’t known as business class at the time) began in the 1970s, as various airlines started sectioning off a part of their main cabin and (even though the seats were still the same as economy), providing a better service for regular fliers or economy passengers paying full fares (as opposed to flying at a discount, as was often done in the main part of the economy section).

The New York Times reported on this in 1975, remarking on how: “Several airlines have…started giving full‐fare coach customers better treatment.”

They talked about KLM, a Dutch airline, “putting an ‘FFF’ insignia–for ‘full‐fare facilities’–on the ticket jackets and baggage tags of its passengers in economy class [who were paying full fare prices],” and “providing a special check‐in counter at the Kennedy and Schipol (Amsterdam) airports and when possible providing last‐on ‘and first‐off baggage handling” for those same passengers.

“The idea,” said a KLM airline official at the time, according to The New York Times, “is to help make the business traveler’s journey smoother.”

“The person on a business trip usually wants to be quiet, and not mixed in with vacation groups who may be rather lively.”

Several other airlines, like Delta, Pan American World Airways and Japan Airlines, also started introducing this kind of special section around the same time period.

The tactic proved popular. It began being taken further, too. British Airways, for example, launched an ‘Executive Cabin’ on the Boeing 747 in 1977, which not only had better service but also less crowded seating than the rest of economy (although the seats were the same).

Thai Airways were arguably the first airline to use the actual phrase “business class,” launching a product called “Business Class” in 1977 on long haul flights. However, although this was a step up from the main economy cabin, none of these products were really business class. Chiefly, this is because they were still economy seats and economy class tickets.

No airline had a true business class cabin until 1979. This was when Qantas started offering a larger business class seat, as well as better service and entertainment, for a higher fee than economy class.

Qantas charged passengers 15% more for this style of seat than than for economy. It came into effect on the routes between the USA and Australia.

British Airways launched a similar ‘Super Club’ cabin in 1981. Pan Am and TWA, too, brought out similar products around the same time.

This style of business class was where true business-class started. Through the 80s it was characterised by ‘armchair’ style seats, while the 90s were characterised by ‘cradle’ like seats with adjustable head and footrests to help you recline (though not to the point of being fully flat).

It wasn’t until the turn of the century that we started to see lie flat seats.

British Airways led the way with this one, introducing a reclining-flat bed business class in March 2000 in collaboration with the British company Tangerine.

This fairly quickly became the industry standard, with most other big airlines eventually following suit. The next big breakthrough in business class came in the form of private suites, of which Qatar Airways is probably the best example.

Qatar Airways’ Qsuite product, which was launched in 2017, is an enclosed business class space, with a lie flat bed which you can choose to switch from bed to seat at the press of a button. It also, as has become standard since the year 2000, has a number of other creature comforts, which have become part and parcel of the business class experience since the year 2000 (amazing infotainment, menus designed by prestigious chefs, the option to dine on demand).

The 1-2-1 configuration has also become (almost) industry standard, as business class passengers now expect equal aisle access for all.

Various other airlines now have business class suites too, including Delta with its Delta One Suites, Virgin, with its The Business, ANA with its ANA The Room and British Airways with its new Club Suite.

There you have it: business class’ evolution, summed up.

Achtung!! A ‘Berlin’ Money Heist Spinoff Is In The Works

Spoiler alert: the following article contains spoilers for the show Money Heist.

La Casa De Papel – it’s the Spanish show that took the world by storm when Netflix picked it up and renamed it Money Heist. And as anyone who’s seen the series can attest, it’s one of the best crime shows in recent history.

The series focuses on a group of robbers as they try to pull off the greatest heist in Spanish history – stealing 2.4 billion euros from the Royal Mint of Spain. The group is led by The Professor and the series is narrated by Tokyo; a woman with absolutely nothing to lose.

Plus, Money Heist has had a huge influence on pop culture; as an example, millions now dress up like the characters for Halloween. Therefore, fans were understandably upset when the series ended for good late last year.

However, according to Deadline, Netflix does have a Money Heist spinoff in the works. Now, there are next to no details about this spinoff; only that Berlin will be the main character and the show is set to be released next year in 2023.

It’s likely that the new series will act as a prequel to Money Heist as the character Berlin AKA Andrés de Fonollosa tragically (spoiler!) died in Season 2 by sacrificing himself near the end of the Royal Mint of Spain heist so the others could escape.

It’s no surprise that Berlin is the character Netflix chose to focus on in this spinoff as he was beloved by fans for his charisma, charm and wit. The character was even heavily featured in flashbacks throughout Seasons 3-5 just so fans could get their Berlin fix. But there’s no official word yet on whether Pedro Alonso has signed on to reprise the role.

Considering he played Berlin to absolute perfection in Money Heist – so much so that he won a prestigious Spanish Actors Union award – and is hugely responsible for Berlin’s popularity with viewers, it’d be crazy to go ahead with a Berlin spinoff without Alonso.

That said, since there has been no official announcement, at this stage it’s still possible the spinoff could feature another actor as Berlin, if the show’s directors don’t come to an agreement with Alonso, for instance, or if the show is about Berlin as a child.

Only time will tell exactly what the show will be about though, and who will play Berlin. So stay tuned, and cross your fingers that it’s Alonso…

Raymond Weil Continues To Impress With Their Latest ‘Upmarket’ Chronograph

The new Raymond Weil Freelancer Chronograph 7741 is a solid, stylish and refined luxury watch that demonstrates just how far the brand has come in recent years.

Raymond Weil has always been a byword for affordable luxury, but in recent years, the independently owned and operated Swiss brand has undergone quite a radical transformation.

Under young CEO Elie Bernheim, they’ve refined their model range, offered far more mechanical movements and really upped the standard of their finishing – they’re moving upmarket, and impressive watch fans with the quality of their offerings.

Last year, Raymond Weil unveiled the Freelancer Calibre RW1212 Skeleton: their first skeletonised watch with their first in-house movement and a very cool timepiece. Now, in 2022, they’ve upped the ante yet again with another Freelancer model, the Freelancer Chronograph 7741.

The Freelancer Chronograph 7741 is a classic tri-compax chrono and a great addition to the Freelancer range. Weighing in at 43.5mm, it’s a bit on the large size – but big watches are definitely in right now, and the larger size aids with legibility.

A slick grooved outer dial frames the three chrono counters and encapsulates the subtly curved hour markers, which are tipped with Super-LumiNova. The dial alone of this watch really demonstrates just how far RW has come when it comes to overall refinement. It’s also got a ceramic bezel, which adds to its practicality (and luxury bona fides).

Unlike previous Freelancer or Tango chronos from the brand, this watch is a time-only affair – but we don’t see that as a negative. Indeed, it actually tends to make the 7741 feel more premium.

It’s available in three colour variations: green dial/green bezel, white dial/black bezel and silver dial/black bezel, with the latter featuring rose gold PVD highlights. However, we think the green model is the pick of the litter. Green watches are all the rage right now, and this is an exemplar.

It’s by no means all show and no go, either. Its Calibre RW5030, visible through the exhibition caseback, has a power reserve of 56 hours and is water-resistant to 100m. Like really, what more do you want?

The best part about all this is the price: AU$5,695 (or $5,895 for the rose gold model). For that money, you’re getting a hell of a lot of watch. We can’t think of many other chronographs that offer everything this one does for the same price. It’s a testament to RW’s commitment to sane prices whilst moving their products upmarket.

How To Clean A Cast Iron Skillet & Not Totally F*ck It Up

Cleaning cast iron skillets and pans is a piece of cake, but it is a slightly different method from how you clean other kitchenware. For example, you can’t ever soak your cast iron; you must only rinse it instead. Read on to discover exactly how to clean a cast iron skillet or pan, so it’ll last you for years to come...

Cast iron skillets and pans are honestly game-changers in the kitchen. There are a multitude of reasons why cast iron is an absolute must-have; even for amateur cooks. They’re extremely tough, provide even cooking temperatures and are naturally non-stick, just to name a few.

However, there seems to be a slight confusion over how to properly clean cast iron cookware; or whether you should even clean them at all. So, if you’ve got a cast iron skillet and pan but you’re not one hundred per cent sure what’s the best cleaning method, read on my friend (and if you haven’t bought yourself cast iron cookware yet, we highly recommend this skillet).

After using your cast iron skillet or pan, let it cool down. Cast iron retains its heat for quite some time, and you don’t want to burn yourself. So let it sit for a while before you do anything.

Then once it’s cooled, rinse – and only rinse; never let your cast iron soak in the sink as they are not rustproof – your cast iron with warm water to get rid of any food residue that may be stuck in the pan.

If you’re finding that a lot of food residue is not coming off with just plain water, you can use a tiny bit of dishwashing soap and scrub gently to remove it; although never use something abrasive like a scouring pad or steel wool to scrub your cast iron as this will get rid of the seasoning.

After rinsing and/or scrubbing, simply dry your cast iron with a clean rag or paper towel; if you use a teatowel it’ll get stained. Also, make sure you do actually dry your cast iron right after you’ve rinsed/scrubbed it; don’t leave it to dry on a dish rack as, again, cast irons are not rustproof. The last step is to reinforce your seasoning by applying a light coat of vegetable oil to the skillet/pan with paper towel before you pack it away.

Wondering what seasoning is? When you first purchase a cast iron skillet or pan, you have to season it before you start using it to cook. All that involves is applying a thin coat of vegetable oil to the whole skillet/pan; this includes the outside and handle too.

Then you want to bake your skillet in the oven; place it upside down on the top or middle rack (place foil on the lowest rack to catch any oil dripping) and leave it for an hour in an oven that’s roughly 180 degrees celsius.

After an hour, turn the oven off but leave your cast iron in there to cool. That’s essentially it; your cast iron is now seasoned.

IWC Schaffhausen’s Mercedes Formula 1 Watch Will Drive Watch Fans Crazy

IWC Schaffhausen and the Mercedes Formula 1 team have unveiled their first official team watch – a stunning titanium chronograph that’s IWC’s answer to the ‘Tiffany Blue’ craze that’s taken over the watch world.

Formula 1 is enjoying a ~moment~. The world’s fastest motorsport has never been more popular, in no small part thanks to the star power of drivers like Lewis Hamilton as well as the insane success of Netflix’s Drive To Survive.

Of course, watches and Formula 1 go together like strawberries and cream: all the F1 teams active in the sport right now have partnerships with watch brands. Red Bull has TAG Heuer, Williams has Bremont, multiple teams are sponsored by Richard Mille…

But the highest-profile watch/F1 team tie-up – and the one that’s produced the most interesting watches, in our opinion – is IWC Schaffhausen’s long-running relationship with Mercedes. It’s a pretty perfect alignment, actually: F1 drivers are often called pilots, so it makes sense that they’d want to team up with a watchmaker famous for durable, utilitarian pilot’s watches.

Now, in 2022, the two companies have teamed up on a rather special timepiece. Ahead of the inaugural Miami Grand Prix, IWC and Mercedes have unveiled their first official team watch. Bold, brash, tough and unique, the IWC Schaffhausen Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Edition “Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team” (ref. IW388108) is one hell of a watch – and just as F1 has captivated scores of people who’ve never been interested in motorsports before, we reckon this watch will drive watch fans of all stripes crazy.

First of all, the cool thing about this watch is that it will be worn by the entire Mercedes team, including designers, aerodynamicists, race engineers, strategists and mechanics. It’ll mean that F1 fans will see a lot more of this cool timepiece throughout 2022.

Now, to get down to brass tacks. Unlike most Pilot’s Chronos in IWC’s model range, the ref. IW388108 is crafted from grade 5 titanium. Not only does this make it remarkably light on the wrist, but it also brings to mind the high-performance parts Mercedes uses in the construction of its F1 cars. It’s a striking look.

Even more striking is the watch’s dial treatment. All the printing and luminescence on the watch’s dial is in ‘Petronas Green’: the Mercedes F1 team’s signature shade. On top of that, the two strap options for the watch – an embossed calfskin strap and a comfy rubber strap – also feature Petronas Green, the former with Petronas Green stitching and the latter entirely featuring the eye-catching hue.

It’s this use of Petronas Green that we think will really captivate watch fans, as it’s strikingly similar to the watch colour of the moment: ‘Tiffany Blue’.

Why pay stupid money for a Patek Philippe or a Rolex when you can get an IWC that’s more comfortable, more technical and frankly, more unique? That’s our thought at least. In any case, we love the way the ref. IW388108 looks, Tiffany or F1 associations aside.

The ref. IW388108’s two straps can be exchanged quickly and easily thanks to IWC’s EasX-CHANGE system. Image: IWC Schaffhausen

“Both fine watchmaking and racing are all about precision, craftsmanship and performance engineering. But it’s the human factor – the passion the love and the dedication that make all the difference between good and great. This notion perfectly describes our long-standing partnership with [Mercedes] and we are celebrating this partnership with the launch of the new team watch in Miami,” IWC CEO Chris Grainger-Herr explains.

The ref. IW388108 will be available exclusively online on iwc.com. It’s not a limited edition per se, but we wouldn’t be surprised if the current production run gets snapped up quicker than Lewis Hamilton on a hot lap around Silverstone. So get in quick before they’re all Russelled up (get it?)

Conor McGregor Tries Dan Bilzerian’s ‘Wackiest’ Training Technique

Conor McGregor has been spotted puffing on a suspicious-looking cigarette, as if he were Dan Bilzerian or something, while partying in the south of France. This has raised concerns among fans as to how seriously he is taking his next UFC fight.

Rather than swimming in a river like Khabib or running in the hills like David Goggins to improve his powers of endurance, Conor McGregor appears to be preparing for his next fight Dan Bilzerian style.

What do we mean by that? Well, the 33-year-old star, after telling fans earlier this year he would give up alcohol to focus on his return to the octagon (after a horrific leg break and some poor results of late), was recently spotted in the south of France, in a club, lighting up a rolled-up cigarette (which some people reckon is a joint).

This came after picking up his new Lamborghini yacht and drinking whiskey.

A post shared by Conor McGregor Official (@thenotoriousmma)

Though some fans were happy for The Notorious, (“Enjoying the fruits of your labour… You deserve it… Champ!” one wrote) others questioned if this approach would lead to success upon McGregor’s return to the UFC (see: remarks like, “So i guess there goes the training camp”).

Another Instagram user said: “You are a living legend of MMA, but you can not continue like this drinking alcohol and smoking and expect to make a successful comeback and win.”

McGregor has indicated he wants to get in the ring with welterweight champion Kamaru Usman for his return fight, in the hope of becoming the first-ever three-weight UFC champion.

McGregor has lost three of his last four fights, however, slipping down to No.9 in the lightweight rankings. McGregor says that despite bulking up wildly over the last year he will fight at 170-pounds in his comeback fight.

Most evidence suggests that smoking weed, despite the fact that figures like Dan Bilzerian and Joe Rogan appear to enjoy it (sometimes even before or during a workout), is really not good (if your goal is optimum athletic performance), fitness professionals have told DMARGE.

“Smoking pot and hitting the bag is, to this day, one of my all time favourite things,” Joe Rogan once said on a podcast, calling it a “psychedelic” and “cleansing” experience.

He also said that, for him, he feels “balance when you’re high, you feel like, maybe if you got an injury, you feel it more. You feel when things are off.”

“For me, I feel my transfer of power better when I’m high, like certain techniques I really get the timing of when to turn the hip over, I feel it more when I’m high. I feel the connection with the tissue, I feel it all working together.”

Joe isn’t the only ripped public figure to enjoy getting ‘ripped’ while working out. The so-called King Of Instagram, Dan Bilzerian, who owns a Cannabis company, has also posted photos of himself enjoying a little “iron and soul.”

But what does this do to your body?

To find out, DMARGE spoke to David McIntosh, founder of the Synergy Performance Institute.

“When discussing cannabis, the two main active ingredients are the focus of the conversation – THC and CBD,” David explained.

“In 2017, a systematic review was published in the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport. The findings were not favourable for things like strength training or aerobic performance.”

“A concerning finding was a tendency to develop chest pain due to poor blood flow to the heart (angina). In 2018, the Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine discussed the use of cannabis by elite athletes and again, found no convincing evidence for increased physical performance.”

“In 2020, an article discussed the potential benefits of the CBD component alone, and highlighted there was no good evidence at the time of the article for promoting CBD, but there were potential benefits such as being anti-inflammatory and calming.”

“Also in 2020, another review of the use of cannabis by athletes found no convincing evidence for enhanced physical performance.”

“This year, an article in The Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness found a significant deleterious effect upon athletic performance, based on more contemporary research. This included less work capacity, increased cardiac workload (leading to relative oxygen depletion in the heart), and poor balance.”

“So, with science rather than social media as our guide, it would seem sensible for those with desires for maximal athletic performance to [re]consider whether cannabis is a good choice or best avoided.”

McGregor fans better hope McGregor was just mucking around then. By the same token, maybe we should stop losing our minds over every single little thing McGregor does.

In any case, McGregor’s results in the octagon will (somewhat) soon speak for themselves…
