Went to Italy in April, had a similar issue at several toll roads in both directions between Rome and Gran Sasso, the people on the toll machine speakers quickly gave up and just opened the gate for us when we spoke to them in English. Haven't had any fines yet. That's a ludicrous price to pay to go to the beach, at least where we were staying on the east coast, the one day we went to the beach in Pineto it was free, beautiful and mostly empty. Loved the area where we were near Arsita, but I agree the roads are a sliding scale of insane.
My mum broke her ankle with a fall like just that, in a bathroom, on a weird step... had to have a few operations and now has a metal plate holding everything together. Was a bad 6 months
It is almost as if the business that has had centuries of time to develop and be regulated is a more developed and regulated business than a flash-in-the-pan company whose business model is "the cheapest "legal" option".
Great episode today, guys! I loved the holiday chat! Pyrion, I hope you left bad, at least in-depth reviews of those two units you stayed in. I also hate the "cleaning fee" with a passion. That's why hopefully VRBO, a competitor, might bring change. 🤞
There are plenty of beautiful free beaches in Italy, most of those resort beaches suck anyway for reasons you outlined. Go check out a less travelled part of the country and you'll get away from that tourist trap crap.
8:30 now I understand why all the italians are coming over to us in croatia and albania XDXD (not saying this is not a thing in the other countries too, but it is at least a lot cheaper and probably less common. especially in croatia, paying to go to the beach is more of a rarity.)
In 2016 i went to Australia, had an airbnb booked for the first 2 nights in melbourne.. i get there at 10 pm and I see the guy is acting weird. Takes me up to the apartment and its empty no furniture and no eletricity. He starts making some things up and says he can take me to another apartment..he puts me in a taxi and says he will go there with his skate because its faster..LMAO. told the driver to stop and I went out and luckily found a hostel to sleep. Next day i called airbnb they said his number doesnt exist anymore. Refunded me the money and banned him.
I feel like e sports Olympics needs to be like open source games almost made for the Olympics or something like that. Having a companies brand on a game at the olympics would be kinda not in the spirit
All of 6 minutes was "a bit too long"? How long was Pflax's bellyaching about problems that he admitted that he could have prevented by doing some actual research? "Yeah I could have checked the flood plan of what ever".
Buckle up ladies and gents, it’s triforce day!!
The fact that the thumbnail isn't sips either on the toilet or with the classic scream face over a toilet is a crime
Or turning the sheets yellow naturally

Airbnb is shit, too much of a gamble. Back to Hotels fr
That would be my question to pyrion. In america its now cheaper and better to just rent a room at a good hotel then air bnb and similar sites.
Really enjoyed the story Pyrion, thanks for sharing another great one!
I wish someone would do a Flax compilation of impressions of Charles.
fantastic episode
I have a tiny pianist
On holiday in Italy right now, and yeah, Italian drivers are agents of chaos. Lanes are just a suggestion.

T'was a good one! Seemed much longer than usually, loved it!
Meanwhile, we're happy with just renting hotels. I trust actual hotel businesses way more than passive income units owned by random joes.

I just love when PFlax talks about something he knows nothing about (the Olympics), but he talks about it like he knows it all
also expecting 3 star hotel quality service from an airbnb. dude, stay in an actual hotel, not someones overpriced spare bedroom.
wooo yayyy triforce podcast
Great episode lads
Sometimes you have to thrash the beast.

Are you implying the angry old man didn't do his research?
there are definitely long stretches of publicly accessible beaches in Italy, you just got unlucky 😅
fuck yea
Sips toilet story was fucking HILARIOUS
Fuck yeah
Note to self: DO NOT ROADTRIP ROUND EUROPE WITH PFLAX. I can imagine Hell to be less strssful.
Maybe but 96 degree F in an apartment is insane. The cost of that 💩 apartment should be dirt cheap.
Note to self: DO NOT WITH PFLAX.
sips, the toilet thrasher!

That is all.
1000$ for that flat sounds like a 2 star review thats pretty sad
Is there any news regarding what will happen for ep 300? Sorry as I'm not up to date atm I'm currently ep 224 in
So 100 euros a day was a actually 25 euros for sun-bed with a parasol 😊

Who can own a tree? Who can own a rock? Only the Great Spirit.
I appreciate the sentiment, but does that mean I can come cut down all your trees in your yard? The beach thing is insane, though
Stay in a hotel
I had to skip sips 😅 the wonderful toilet story went on a bit too long
