Sam [00:00:21]:
Hello and welcome to episode 554 of the Chris and Sam podcast.
Chris [00:00:26]:
I’m Chris.
Sam [00:00:26]:
And I’m Sam. Welcome along to your weekly fix of randomness, technology and life brought to you from Hamilton, Waikato, New Zealand. Here we are.
Chris [00:00:33]:
And it’s not like blowing a gale as as opposed to pretty much the.
Sam [00:00:37]:
Rest of the country rest, especially the South Island. Shout out to the people down there doing it hard. I know they don’t have time to be listening to a podcast because I got flying trampolines, trucks, trees, 200 kilometer.
Chris [00:00:49]:
Winds in Christchurch today, apparently.
Sam [00:00:52]:
Yep.
Chris [00:00:52]:
And one of my colleagues was working lives in Nelson.
Sam [00:00:57]:
Yeah.
Chris [00:00:57]:
And they were out of power for at least two hours this morning. Like the whole top of the North south island was like, like out of power.
Sam [00:01:03]:
It’s craziness when they catch up on their podcast listening. Hope it’s going okay.
Chris [00:01:10]:
Yes.
Sam [00:01:10]:
Because you know we’re in the back catalog of someone’s phone.
Chris [00:01:13]:
Yeah. And we care.
Sam [00:01:15]:
That’s right.
Chris [00:01:17]:
I love the pause. I love the pause.
Sam [00:01:21]:
Ah, okay, hang on. You better start talking about the final night of your improv. So if you listen to the Sunday morning.
Chris [00:01:31]:
If you’re listening to this Sunday morning, tonight is the final night of improv. Hopefully we’ve already got tickets by now because otherwise you may be out of luck. We did sell out, but we got an extra amount of seats added in.
Sam [00:01:44]:
I was gonna, I saw that. I was gonna ask how many.
Chris [00:01:47]:
I think another 10 or 20.
Sam [00:01:48]:
Okay. So I feel bad because I have not been. But I do not think I can afford the ticket.
Chris [00:01:56]:
They’re $15 each.
Sam [00:01:57]:
So like I said, the podcast, if you don’t know, is not a cash cow. We’re doing this.
Chris [00:02:08]:
I don’t know why.
Sam [00:02:10]:
Anyway, what’s been happening?
Chris [00:02:13]:
So things. This is, as I’ve mentioned before, this is a crunch month. So we’re getting the end of a eight month project with Epic Learning which is finishing next week. Fingers crossed. So I’ve got a bit of work to do before then. I’ve got the. We both got the Misty Flicks festival coming up at the end of the month.
Sam [00:02:35]:
That’s ramping up. I’m glad when that’ll be over the that that week.
Chris [00:02:40]:
So the next couple of days after that I’ve got the two TEDx events. Yep. So it’s the same TEDx event in two locations over two days. So I am doing the that And I’ve just finished the last speaker workshop this week and there was some hiccups and dramas and yeah, basically I’m real busy.
Sam [00:03:01]:
Do you have anything after that?
Chris [00:03:03]:
I. My birthday. If I make it to my birthday.
Sam [00:03:07]:
Yes. 24th.
Chris [00:03:08]:
I’m not doing anything.
Sam [00:03:09]:
24Th, 27th, 23rd. Oh, so close.
Chris [00:03:11]:
Close. But yeah, I’m not doing anything for it or anything. I just want to live that long. That’s the plan. At this point.
Sam [00:03:19]:
Do you. I don’t know. I know you work remotely with your team. Everyone at your job is remote. Are they as busy as you? Because when you talk to people and they’re like, oh my gosh, I had such a busy weekend, I need to do this.
Chris [00:03:35]:
I tell. I, I’m like, oh, hang on, I’ve just got a coaching call. I’ll be, I’ll be off for an hour and I’ll do a coaching call. I come back, I’m like, oh, jam. I’ve just got this email from Misty Flicks and they’re like, what are you doing? You just, you just organizing something. What did she say? Something like that. And I’m like, oh, yeah. Plus I’m doing this panel and introducing this thing and running the pitching for producers and I’m doing this other thing.
Chris [00:03:58]:
She goes, I thought you were just like swanning around saying that you’re an organizer like those volunteers do, you know?
Sam [00:04:06]:
Yeah, just different levels of busy A. And sometimes it’s hard to explain to people.
Chris [00:04:13]:
Yeah.
Sam [00:04:13]:
But it’s okay.
Chris [00:04:13]:
Especially when they all have deadlines. And that’s the thing. All of these are culminating to a point. And then after it, I’m going to be sitting there going, what am I doing now? Actually, I want to do a lot of YouTube stuff actually after that. So that’s the plan. Anyway, we got. What have you been up to before? We get.
Sam [00:04:33]:
Oh, Misty Flicks. I get messages non stop. I, I’m, I don’t. I’m sure I’ve said this to you off here. I don’t know if I’ve said this. On the podcast, Paige and Beck are the two people that I bump into the most anytime, anywhere. So yesterday it was. Somebody dropped off a hard drive at my work and then I had to go down and give that to Paige and then off she went with his hard drive.
Sam [00:04:55]:
Because when you’re doing film festival, you got to get files off people all the time. And then that’s all good. And then this morning, randomly, I parked in the old Farmer’s Car park building. I don’t normally park there and I’m walking and I’m going past Dot and Winnie’s. Shout out to them if you’ve ever been there. It’s really good. Tuesdays and Thursdays are their Cinnabon scrolls, and I highly recommend them. But as I this is why you.
Chris [00:05:17]:
Can’T afford to go to Improv spending your money on Cinnabon scrolls.
Sam [00:05:22]:
I didn’t buy one today. Someone brought me one. But yes, there was people yelling my name and it was Beck and Paige and the girls and. Cause it’s Bec’s birthday and they’re like, oh, we’re just having breakfast and we’re. We’re gonna get a Cinnabun scroll, but they’re just making them right now, so I’m gonna pick it up later. I was like, oh, okay, cool. But yes, that’s pretty much all I’ve been doing. Just work, work, work, work.
Chris [00:05:46]:
Nice.
Sam [00:05:47]:
I’ll tell you what I did do. I gave a whole bunch of people miniature pumpkin seeds at work and they’re very excited. And while I’ve got the website giantpumpkins co NZ for all your giant pumpkin growing needs, I don’t really have a good section for the miniature pumpkins. And yesterday I was giving out these seeds and they all just start googling miniature pumpkins, I guess or something. And they’re all like, hey, isn’t giant pumpkins NZ your website? I was like, yeah. Oh, it’s like the number one result for miniature pumpkins. And I was like, yeah, I’ve got this blog post talking about them. Oh, do you pay to be at the top of Google like that? No, no, it’s just that good.
Chris [00:06:26]:
That’s why I can’t afford to go to Improv combat.
Sam [00:06:29]:
That’s right. But so last night I wrote a whole page website page on miniature pumpkin growing and created a single page handout in our favorite graphics program that we use.
Chris [00:06:41]:
Yeah.
Sam [00:06:41]:
And yeah, so that was super busy, but these people are so excited. I hope they have a good growing season.
Chris [00:06:46]:
Oh, that’d be cool.
Sam [00:06:47]:
Anyway, that’s about it.
Chris [00:06:49]:
I talking about excited. Well, I don’t know if excited is the right word. Did you experience anything with this AWS crash the other day? Did that impact you?
Sam [00:07:00]:
I got a couple of notifications for a couple of apps on my phone that it affected. And then I think Sarah has a game that she plays on her iPad and it wouldn’t work. And she told me that the night before and she goes, it just stopped working. And I was like, oh, okay, cool. And then the next day it came out. What was happening.
Chris [00:07:19]:
Yeah. Cause I was watching James Bond Spectre on TVNZ.
Sam [00:07:25]:
Yeah. Okay.
Chris [00:07:26]:
And I’m two hours into this two hour, 20 minute film.
Sam [00:07:30]:
Oh, no, you’re almost there.
Chris [00:07:32]:
And he’s just being tortured. Right. The drill’s going into his brain.
Sam [00:07:37]:
Good.
Chris [00:07:37]:
And it stops. And I’m like, what the hell? So I like. I’m like, okay, I’ll watch the rest of it on my phone because something’s gone wrong with the Internet and I can’t. On my phone and I try my laptop and I try everywhere and I can’t do it. And I was really. No. Because I had seen this at the movies, but that was a long time ago and I can’t even remember what happened. So.
Chris [00:07:59]:
Yeah, I didn’t. And I didn’t know what it was. I just assumed it was at my end.
Sam [00:08:03]:
Yeah.
Chris [00:08:04]:
But I’ve got the reason I mention it, not because of my problem, was it affected a lot of people. But one of the funniest ones I shouldn’t say is funny to me because it doesn’t affect me.
Sam [00:08:16]:
Yeah.
Chris [00:08:16]:
There. Can you imagine? Actually try and imagine. What is the worst physical thing that might be impacted by an AWS crash?
Sam [00:08:27]:
I’ve got a story here that may or may not be the thing you’re thinking of, so I’m just gonna say it. A bed.
Chris [00:08:34]:
Yeah, I’ve got it here. So. Yeah, no, the bed.
Sam [00:08:37]:
I know.
Chris [00:08:38]:
So Stu crashes $2,000. Smart beds. So some of them, like, they. They sit up.
Sam [00:08:44]:
Yeah, I know.
Chris [00:08:45]:
Smart beds you can raise up, but they’re stuck up. You can’t get down again because. So you can’t go to the freaking things.
Sam [00:08:53]:
Bezos has stuffed it up.
Chris [00:08:55]:
Some of them were overheating. Like, I don’t want to trust a beard. I don’t want to do you.
Sam [00:09:02]:
I don’t want to trust the beard that is affected by the AWS cloud hosting platform.
Chris [00:09:09]:
Well, I’m like, what?
Sam [00:09:10]:
What’s it doing?
Chris [00:09:12]:
What information are they gathering on your bed? Like, as well? Like. Yeah. Anyway, this dude said it felt like.
Sam [00:09:19]:
He was locked in on a sauna in his bedroom.
Chris [00:09:24]:
I slept on the couch last night. Why? Because your Mrs. Headed Rao. No aws went down. Like, what the hell? So that cracked me up.
Sam [00:09:37]:
So anyway, this company’s called Eight Sleeps. And the company stated, we’re working the whole night plus 247 to build an outage mode to prevent similar issues in the future. In 2024, they were scrutinized over security flaws, highlighting that the AWS keys that they use could be hacked. And then someone may be able to remotely access the customer’s device. Imagine going to sleep in your fancy ass $2,000 bed thing and then you wake up and it’s like what’s going on? And it’s some guy in China just going hello.
Chris [00:10:19]:
And up and down and up and down.
Sam [00:10:23]:
I can guarantee there’s probably dumber stuff that this outage affected, but we probably won’t know about it.
Chris [00:10:29]:
Yeah, yeah. That was the funniest one I saw actually. Talking about other painful outages. This is a cyber attack. So it’s not sort of an outage as such, but there was a cyber attack on the Asahi Group. So do you know Asahi? The beer?
Sam [00:10:46]:
Oh yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was thinking that and I was like okay, yeah. Okay. What happened?
Chris [00:10:50]:
Yeah, total system failure caused by cyber attack that disabled domestic order and shipment operations.
Sam [00:10:58]:
Oh, okay.
Chris [00:10:59]:
So boxes containing cans of Asahi Super Dry beer on the production line. Tokyo, Japan could soon run out of its most popular beer after devastating cyber attack. It is on its biggest breweries that have brought multiple domestic factories to a halt.
Sam [00:11:18]:
Oh wow. Multiple.
Chris [00:11:20]:
Yeah. So yeah, yeah. Most of it’s 30 Japanese factories.
Sam [00:11:27]:
That’s crazy. So but if they’re all using the same system.
Chris [00:11:30]:
Yeah. Well it makes sense, right? And if you find the right linkage, the right, you know, node or whatever it is and you screw that up, then that does stuff. So uh, yeah, but you just don’t think of these things as being vulnerable beds and beers. I’m gonna hack your beer. I’m gonna hack your bed. What the hell else? What’s next?
Sam [00:11:53]:
I’m waiting for like I’m amazed. To be honest. I’m amazed some cars didn’t stop working either some self driving something or other or those Waymo cars. Yeah, that’s scary. I don’t know how I feel about them. They’re real creepy.
Chris [00:12:06]:
Actually, while I’m laughing, I’m gonna tell you this. This cracked me up. This is just a friend I’m working with. Right.
Sam [00:12:12]:
When you say it cracks you up sometimes it’s questionable if anyone should be laughing. True, true. But okay.
Chris [00:12:17]:
But that’s what I think is okay. So I was talking to one of my work colleagues. He does all our IT stuff.
Sam [00:12:22]:
Right?
Chris [00:12:22]:
Okay. So he’s the one that picked my computer. He like went to on the PB tech and gave me a list of things and said and I think he’s about 22 years old.
Sam [00:12:31]:
Okay.
Chris [00:12:31]:
Yeah. So he’s quite young. So we’re talking about Tikanga because we’re doing a Tikanga course.
Sam [00:12:37]:
Oh, okay.
Chris [00:12:38]:
Which is like Maori cultural appreciation type thing. I was probably the bad way of explaining it because I haven’t done the course yet.
Sam [00:12:47]:
Yeah.
Chris [00:12:47]:
But I was talking about that general Maori stuff. Maori stuff and stuff. Yeah. And I, I made a comment which I’ve made a lot of times to people much younger than me.
Sam [00:12:56]:
Okay.
Chris [00:12:57]:
I made the comment, you know, Mori was not a subject when I was at school because it just wasn’t a subject. No, there was nothing about Mori cultural language. So you’d know more about that than I would. Is what I said something to that effect? And his reply was, nah, I was homeschooling. My mum’s a racist. So not so much.
Sam [00:13:20]:
Oh, no.
Chris [00:13:21]:
And that cracked me up so much, I was like, I gotta tell Sam. That’s so funny.
Sam [00:13:27]:
I mean.
Chris [00:13:29]:
Good on you, bro.
Sam [00:13:32]:
It’s a true story. Has to roll with it.
Chris [00:13:36]:
Not so much.
Sam [00:13:37]:
He’s like, I wish, I wish I went to a better school. But you know what was close to home, I didn’t have to travel far and it was cheap.
Chris [00:13:46]:
My mum’s racist. Sorry.
Sam [00:13:48]:
Talking about. Talking about mums.
Chris [00:13:51]:
Yeah.
Sam [00:13:52]:
A mum is in trouble at the moment in Austria. She’s actually in court. She’s on trial for allegedly allowing her 12 year old daughter to drill a hole in a patient’s skull during some surgery. She’s a brain surgeon.
Chris [00:14:10]:
Okay.
Sam [00:14:11]:
Takes her daughter to work with her now in her defence. Sorry, her defence is took my daughter to work because she was very interested in what I do. She wants to observe the surgery. So I’m like, sweet, we’re gonna have to drill into this guy’s skull. And it’s a farm worker who had severe head trauma from a falling tree branch. She had to leave the room for some reason while the drilling procedure was going to be done by a junior colleague. And she says that her actual involvement, the daughter’s involvement, was limited to just sort of helping hold the drill over the other person’s hands while they’re like drilling into someone’s head. And that’s it.
Sam [00:15:03]:
She then, after the fact, repeatedly went around what she said stemmed from bloody stupid maternal pride and was telling everyone, my 12 year old daughter just drilled her first hole in someone’s head. So she kept telling people that. And. Yeah, but the prosecutor reckons that the 12 year old drilled it alone without any assistance. After the defendant explained how the drill worked, raising concerns about potential equipment malfunction and her lawyer’s going, no, the child did not drill the hole, but her and the junior surgeon have been fired from the hospital. It’s still ongoing.
Chris [00:15:43]:
This case, was this in America?
Sam [00:15:45]:
No, it’s in. What did I say? Austria.
Chris [00:15:48]:
Austria, sorry.
Sam [00:15:49]:
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it’s gonna conclude on about the 10th of December this court case. Hmm. You gotta be careful when you take your kids to work. Because talking about that as we record it today was the massive strike that affected a lot of people here nationwide.
Chris [00:16:06]:
Yeah.
Sam [00:16:06]:
Yep. So we had all teachers. Yep. Teachers, healthcare workers. I think ACC was involved. There’s a whole bunch of people. Yeah, it was massive. The problem is this weather bomb thing we’ve got going on meant a lot of people in the south island weren’t going to go out.
Sam [00:16:22]:
But yeah, it was a pretty big thing. But it’s funny because every now and then when these things happen, there’s the odd person that brings their kid to work. And we were talking about it today, my colleagues were like, back in my day there was no way ever you’d be able to bring your child to work. Your manager would never allow it. And sometimes we go to our smoko room floor, tea room, whatever. And sometimes there’s just a random child there with an adult. So. Hey.
Chris [00:16:51]:
Yeah, but they didn’t take dogs to work either. I think I can handle dogs going to work easier than kids going to work to be.
Sam [00:16:57]:
Some workplaces have dog friendly offices. That’ll be cool. We don’t.
Chris [00:17:02]:
Yeah.
Sam [00:17:04]:
Be chaos. No one will get any work done.
Chris [00:17:06]:
Oh yeah, I’ve got this, I got this photo. I want you to look at it. Now we will put this photo on the show. Notes. But Diwali was this week.
Sam [00:17:17]:
Diwali, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. Cause there’s fireworks left, right and center.
Chris [00:17:21]:
Oh, is that what the fireworks are for?
Sam [00:17:23]:
Yes.
Chris [00:17:23]:
I just thought it was over enthusiastic people.
Sam [00:17:25]:
No, it’s coming out to guy folks. No, it’s like a week long celebration of light versus dark, good versus evil and stuff like that. And fireworks plays a big part. On the first day they had a massive display at the lake. And then after that I think it was just every rando that had a firework was setting it off.
Chris [00:17:43]:
Right, well that makes sense. So this caught my eye partly because it was Gibraltar. It was a Gibraltar bank and I lived in Gibraltar. Well, I worked in Gibraltar for a couple of years, so it amused me. But the headline is Gibraltar bank offends two cultures with one photograph. And this is the photograph they took of staff Saying Happy Diwali Day. Can you spot any problems with that?
Sam [00:18:09]:
There’s not much diversity in. Oh, shit. Hang on, hang on. Sorry. Sorry. Hang on. I just. Hang on.
Chris [00:18:22]:
I just, Just looking at his face was great.
Sam [00:18:25]:
Sorry. I just clicked. So there’s not much diversity at all. But some people have got confused about what type of Indians and have dressed as Native American Indians with their hands up and they’re like, how. Yeah, okay.
Chris [00:18:43]:
It’s, it’s, it’s classically bad. It’s about as bad as you can imagine a workplace banked thing to be. Plus they don’t know what Diwali is, what Indians are.
Sam [00:18:58]:
Any excuse to have a little office party.
Chris [00:19:01]:
Yeah.
Sam [00:19:01]:
Little get together, little dress up.
Chris [00:19:04]:
So have a look at that photo in the, in the show notes. Correct.
Sam [00:19:11]:
Something else that doesn’t appear as it seems was this Cirra Cousins. Have you heard of the Scottish woman?
Chris [00:19:17]:
No.
Sam [00:19:19]:
Kira Cousins. She’s 22 years old. She faked her pregnancy, which isn’t new, people have done that in the past. But she gave birth to the fake baby and tricked people with the fake baby. So she brought one of those lifelike. Lifelike dolls that are super realistic, hyper realistic. She convinced her partner, family and friends that she was pregnant, apparently. And also she’d given birth by herself and then had the baby with her.
Sam [00:19:51]:
She shared fake medical updates, had a gender reveal party, even claimed the baby had a serious medical condition.
Chris [00:19:59]:
Yeah, it’s not breathing.
Sam [00:20:00]:
Yeah. And apparently people are real upset about it. Her mother discovered the newborn baby was actually a doll in her room. None of the family members were aware. So she went like method on this super method. She had a prosthetic bump to simulate the pregnancy. She had fake hospital updates and scan photos. Claimed medical condition they brought her.
Chris [00:20:26]:
She does have a medical condition, I would say.
Sam [00:20:29]:
And then for some reason, when she got caught out, she went on TikTok and made a statement saying that her family and the baby’s father did not know. Yeah. Bit weird. Like, I’m almost not 100% sure if this is a legit story or if it’s some sort of weird marketing ploy for something, but she used annual leave to fake maternity leave. The paternal grandmother reportedly noticed the baby was cold and still, but she dismissed the concerns. And then people were wondering why it never cried or made a sound.
Chris [00:21:03]:
Good grief. Why would you go to all that?
Sam [00:21:07]:
A friend did say that she was a serial liar. I don’t know. Mental health issues going on there.
Chris [00:21:14]:
Did you hear about this thing with cards against humanity?
Sam [00:21:19]:
No. What are they up to?
Chris [00:21:21]:
So this is, this started a while back on one track and it sort of took a bit of a turn. So as I understand it, it started off with Cards Against Humanity. You know, they made a bunch of money and they had a bunch of, you know, they’d been doing activist stuff.
Sam [00:21:37]:
Yeah.
Chris [00:21:37]:
So they decided to buy a patch of land.
Sam [00:21:40]:
Okay.
Chris [00:21:41]:
Where the wall, you know, build the wall would have to go through. So they would either not stop the wall from being built along the southern border of the United States.
Sam [00:21:53]:
Okay.
Chris [00:21:54]:
Or, you know, the Trump’s government would have to pay for it and people would get it back. So they raised the money through.
Sam [00:22:01]:
Yeah, yeah. They’ve done a bunch of different things. Yeah.
Chris [00:22:04]:
So anyway, nothing really happened with that. The wall never got there because they didn’t build a wall.
Sam [00:22:09]:
No.
Chris [00:22:09]:
So anyway. But guess what did happen there? What? SpaceX started building a spaceport. So I don’t know where this was exactly.
Sam [00:22:18]:
What, on the land or next to it?
Chris [00:22:20]:
Next to it. And then they just bulldozed that land and they put gravel all over it and they parked all their cars on it.
Sam [00:22:27]:
Did they not know?
Chris [00:22:29]:
They were like. Well, they don’t care because, you know.
Sam [00:22:31]:
Okay, no, no. But I’m like, did they not check the plans or something? And how big was the piece of land they owned?
Chris [00:22:37]:
I don’t think it’s like a car park. Who knows?
Sam [00:22:40]:
Okay.
Chris [00:22:42]:
150, 000 people paid 15 each towards the campaign. So that’s the amount of money they had.
Sam [00:22:47]:
Oh, okay. Yeah, Cool.
Chris [00:22:49]:
Hang on, I’ve got more details here. So yeah, the SpaceX. Yeah, the site was clear of vegetation and the soil was compacted with gravel or other substances to allow SpaceX and its contractors to run and park its vehicles all over the property. So basically CATS Against Humanity brought a lawsuit against SpaceX going, Dude, yeah, yeah, this is our land. What are you doing? And generators were brought there and parked there so they could use all the. Through the night. And it was on continuously. In short, SpaceX has treated the property as its own for at least six months without regard to cards against humanity’s property rights or the safety of anyone entering.
Chris [00:23:31]:
Oh wow. What is effectively a work site that should be governed by OSHA safety requirements, but that it’s not because, you know, because. Efficiency.
Sam [00:23:42]:
Yeah, efficiency, yeah.
Chris [00:23:44]:
So anyway, they, they went to. After we caught him, SpaceX gave us a 12 hour ultimatum to accept a low ball offer for less than half of our land’s value.
Sam [00:23:56]:
And then what, what happens if we.
Chris [00:23:58]:
Said go yeah, if yourselves, Elon, we’ll see you in court. So in the end, though, the lawsuit has been settled ahead of the court date.
Sam [00:24:07]:
Oh, okay.
Chris [00:24:08]:
It’s not. The company had been seeking 15 million. Humanity was seeking 15 million, but we don’t know how much. They’ve settled undisclosed terms, but they’re going to be putting out a special Elon Musk brand Cards Against Humanity pack that will be going to all of the 150,000 people that donated. Donated? They’re 15 bucks. So they’ll get something for their money. Because they were never really going to get anything. It was never a plan, but obviously they’re getting some money.
Chris [00:24:39]:
So while we can’t give you what you really wanted, which was cash money from Elon Musk, we’re going to make it up. Oh, yeah, that’s right. Because he was going to give. They wanted 15 million. We’re going to give 100 bucks to every person. That was the original thing. Well, we can’t give you what you really wanted. Cash money from Elon Musk.
Chris [00:24:53]:
We’re going to make it up to our best sexiest customers with the. With comedy. We’re sending out each brand new mini pack of exclusive cards all about Elon Musk. I like these guys. I think they’re great.
Sam [00:25:05]:
Cause the only other thing I remember, I think we talked about it way back in the day. Didn’t they buy like a giant barrel of lube to send to somebody that was upsetting them?
Chris [00:25:17]:
Yeah, something like that. I vaguely remember it.
Sam [00:25:20]:
I don’t know. They’ve done some random stuff.
Chris [00:25:22]:
Random is the word. Uh, but I like those guys. They’re like the south park guys, you know, like.
Sam [00:25:27]:
Yes, actually, that, that is how it feels like.
Chris [00:25:29]:
Yeah.
Sam [00:25:30]:
Cause south park at the moment, they think like they’re supposed to be releasing episodes and they released a new episode, but they did like four or five episodes and then they go, oh, here’s the new season. So they’ve just. Instead of doing 10 episodes. Right. They’ve done five, I think it is. And then now we’re onto a new season. So they think they’re speed running through whatever their contract dealers. So they’ve got to produce so many seasons, but if they do them shorter and just whenever they want, I think, I’m not sure, but you know, that’s random.
Chris [00:26:03]:
Yeah. Because this should be a South park episode. I don’t know if you heard about this. This is. I’m. I’m going to say this tongue in cheek that. Have you heard of the new scientific Determination by the CDC in America.
Sam [00:26:19]:
No.
Chris [00:26:20]:
Fluoride. You know what it does? I bet you can’t guess what it does.
Sam [00:26:25]:
Makes you autistic.
Chris [00:26:26]:
It disconnects.
Sam [00:26:29]:
Let me say, have you had some?
Chris [00:26:30]:
It disconnects you from God. That’s what the CDC is saying now.
Sam [00:26:35]:
What does that mean? How do you know you’re connected?
Chris [00:26:39]:
Fluoride disconnects one from God Inside the weekly call with RFK Juniors. Make America Healthy Again. Hype squad.
Sam [00:26:48]:
No.
Chris [00:26:49]:
So, I mean, I don’t even want to go any further than that, really. Basically, they’re going, you know, fluoride disconnects you from God. It’s scientific, proven fact. So thank God we have, you know, RFK looking after the health of the Americans.
Sam [00:27:08]:
Do you wonder about the endangered species that he’s trying to eat? Like he’s got access to things now. He’s like, you know what? I want to eat that bald eagle. Go get me one. Anyway, things like that keep me awake at night during the week. And with that, we come to the end of the podcast. Check out mistyflix CO NZ if you want some tickets to some of the sessions.
