Welcome to the Chris and Sam podcast. Pull up a bar story and join us for a random conversation guaranteed to make you think or your money back. Hello and welcome to episode 495 of the Chris and Sam podcast. I’m Chris. And I’m Sam. And I’m Kloey. Welcome along to your weekly Fix of Randomness technology in life. And sometimes there’s a teenager involved.
Sam [00:00:33]:
They’re here. As you can tell, they’re super confident in front of the mic. Yes. What’s been happening this week, Chris?
Chris [00:00:41]:
Well, I I went to the doctors today.
Sam [00:00:44]:
Well, you had to.
Chris [00:00:45]:
Yeah. I had to. I had to. So, I haven’t really told I told a couple of people, but, I had a bit of a a a a an event. An event.
Sam [00:00:54]:
I love how you say event.
Chris [00:00:56]:
Yeah. Well, I don’t know. It’s like a mini stroke thing where I forgot how to talk and how to do things and couldn’t think properly for a while. So yeah. And then You thought, you
Sam [00:01:07]:
know what? I should probably maybe go Do
Chris [00:01:09]:
you know how long ago it was?
Sam [00:01:11]:
6 weeks.
Chris [00:01:11]:
It was a month tomorrow.
Sam [00:01:13]:
Okay. A month. Good.
Chris [00:01:14]:
Only 4 weeks. But I was like, oh, well, I’ll have a nap, and if I don’t die, I should be alright. And I didn’t die, so I was alright. Oh. And then this week, I’ve had a bit of waking up with racing heart type scenarios. So I’m like, oh, crap. Go to the doctors.
Sam [00:01:29]:
So you went today, and then once you go back tomorrow
Chris [00:01:31]:
Yes. I went and got ECG, got, blood tests, and then I’ve got to get back tomorrow morning.
Sam [00:01:36]:
Okay. So maybe next episode we’ll be able to tell you what’s wrong with Chris.
Chris [00:01:41]:
What’s right with me?
Sam [00:01:42]:
But if you you know, well, that’s true. Yell out, I mean yell out, but leave us a comment or reach out if you want to diagnose him from that very in-depth thing. Someone else here had 6, attempts at trying to get blood out of them today. With how many nurses? 4? Yeah. Four nurses. Okay. That’s crazy.
Chris [00:02:02]:
I because I don’t like being blood taken. Like, I I I’m like
Sam [00:02:06]:
I Is it the headphones? Is it the needle bit? I think
Chris [00:02:10]:
it’s just the thought. I don’t know.
Sam [00:02:11]:
Okay. So you’re
Chris [00:02:12]:
not I just watch my phone. Well, you know, I had something playing. I was watching Coldbeer and I and this nurse was so good today Okay. That I didn’t feel at all at all.
Sam [00:02:23]:
Oh, that’s good. And
Chris [00:02:24]:
then I was like, oh, that’s probably because you’re really used to needles, because she’s just covered in tattoos.
Sam [00:02:30]:
Alright. I see how you got there.
Chris [00:02:34]:
No problem with needles.
Sam [00:02:35]:
Probably not. This past weekend, I caught up with our favorite Brazilian, Diego. He had some of his photography work, up in an art gallery. So he had to do the photography. He he said some nice things about us because he moved in with us at the old house as a flatmate. Yeah. Yeah. And he was saying, like, we were going in and out of those random lockdowns and stuff.
Sam [00:02:58]:
And he said he couldn’t have moved into a better place because we just had so much random stuff and and lights and backdrops and just things that you need to make things with that it worked out perfectly well for him. And we had the space and spare room.
Chris [00:03:12]:
Yeah.
Sam [00:03:12]:
Yeah. So it was really good. And, this project he did within a year because it was his Wintec project. Otherwise, he probably could have been going on forever, but he doesn’t normally do photography. Like this was his first sort of photography project from start to finish and then have an exhibit. He sold multiple copies of his images already.
Chris [00:03:32]:
Oh, nice.
Sam [00:03:33]:
There’s 12 images in the set. There were 6 at this gallery and, he’s looking into trying to do some more in the future and he thinks he may potentially just end up working 4 days a week and then have a day of just playing around with creating stuff. Yeah. No. Because he’s super clever and makes some awesome stuff.
Chris [00:03:48]:
Yeah. No. If he can do that, that’s that’s the way to do it. Yes. So, actually, speaking of random stuff, did you see this, story about this new Plymouth blind guy?
Sam [00:04:03]:
I heard something, but I can’t really remember what it was.
Chris [00:04:05]:
Okay. So this legally blind new Plymouth man, he’s he’s upset about, that going to carve up Fakaha, the Ministry of Disabled People or something
Sam [00:04:18]:
Yeah.
Chris [00:04:18]:
Okay. And move it across to Ministry of Social Development. So they’re like basically killing another institution. Right?
Sam [00:04:25]:
Yeah. They went to everything.
Chris [00:04:26]:
Yeah. Yeah. So, he went into the Ministry of Social Development office because, you know, Ministry of the Disabled is no more, goes into Ministry of Social Development, and they go, oh, yeah. Well, if you need us to do anything for you, you you’re gonna have to supply a driver’s license. Yeah. He’s legally blind. Well, they they would have they need to supply an IQ test, I think. Because that’s dumbest thing.
Sam [00:04:54]:
Hang on. He’s legally blind, so he could potentially just be wandering around. You would not know. He might just have super thick glasses on is what I’ll say. And he could potentially have had a driver’s license back in the day and still had one. Like, it is a dumb question.
Chris [00:05:11]:
Yeah. So he says, basically, I produced my gold card photo ID.
Sam [00:05:15]:
Oh, okay.
Chris [00:05:16]:
And I and I’ve got a total mobility card. Oh, yeah. Thanks. Whatever that is. I I don’t know what it is. And they’re like, nope. We need your driver’s license. And he goes, he says, my, immediate reaction was, are you kidding? Who in heaven’s name would give me a driver’s license?
Sam [00:05:35]:
You’re fun outing for all. Pedestrians, passengers
Chris [00:05:39]:
In the Geogos, no. I need to set a driver’s license. So Then
Sam [00:05:45]:
did he did he leave?
Chris [00:05:46]:
Yeah. That was it. But, yeah. Anyway, I just lose the dumbest thing ever. And when I started reading, I was like, oh, this is a dumb another dumb American thing. I’m like, oh, hang on. It’s a New Plymouth. It’s a New Zealand one.
Chris [00:05:58]:
Damn it.
Sam [00:06:00]:
Any thoughts on that podcast guest? What? Oh, no. Okay. Good. Just chime in if you need to. Yep. Okay. Good. Well oh, so the Swiss are looking they’re giving a reward of 57,000 US dollars for whoever can come up with the best idea to get the munitions out of the Swiss Lakes.
Chris [00:06:25]:
So why are the munitions in the Swiss lakes is my first question.
Sam [00:06:30]:
They just had a whole bunch over the years and they were just like, oh, we’ll just dump them in there. They’ll be safe. Between 1918 and 1964, they’ve been dumping so 56 years they’ve been dumping the munitions in there.
Chris [00:06:45]:
We’re Swiss. We’re neutral. You come in here, you’ve got to dump your, guns in the lake before you come in.
Sam [00:06:52]:
Maybe. I don’t know. At the at the deepest, it’s 220 meters deep, but they have to it’s poor visibility, there’s risk of explosions, there’s currents, some of them weigh up to 50 kilos, the munitions, and some components are made of non magnetic copper so you can’t just pick it up with a magnet, and then they need it to be environmentally friendly. So anyway, the competition’s open till February 6th next year. You’re keen to enter? Yeah. Yeah. In 2020, they had to move 3 and a half 1000 tons of explosives over the depot where they had to evacuate a whole village to leave their homes because they just sort of left it there. And back in 1947, 7,000 tons of explosives that were stored in a depot.
Chris [00:07:41]:
7,000 tons? That’s a shit load of damage.
Sam [00:07:44]:
That detonated. Oh, detonate. And it killed 9 people in the village. So they were like oh, we better better just be careful with that. Your thinking caps on.
Chris [00:07:54]:
I yeah. It’s gonna have to be robots of some description.
Sam [00:07:57]:
Yeah. Totally.
Chris [00:07:58]:
I think.
Sam [00:07:59]:
Someone will have a robot.
Chris [00:08:01]:
I I’ve got the ubiquitous American gun story. I don’t know if you’ve seen this one.
Sam [00:08:07]:
I don’t know. I heard I saw one the other day. Yeah. Which one’s this one?
Chris [00:08:10]:
The stinky feet.
Sam [00:08:12]:
No. I don’t know what that means.
Chris [00:08:14]:
Okay. A Burlington man is accused of shooting his father in the face after an argument about stinky feet. According to rest effort, David, David carpet of 48 called police late Saturday night, late Sunday night said his he shot his father. Basically, they were having a bit of an argument and about his father’s stinky feet, and his father said, oh, who’s on a motorized scooter. Like his father’s in a motorized scooter.
Sam [00:08:45]:
He’s burning around on a scooter with his stink feet hanging out.
Chris [00:08:47]:
And his his, heated argument between the 2 of them, and his father made a comment about shooting him. So Carpenter put pictures of his bedroom Curtis, grabbed his gun.
Sam [00:08:57]:
Oh, man.
Chris [00:08:58]:
Held it behind his back while yelling at his father about guns, then pointed at his father’s face and accidentally pulled the trigger.
Sam [00:09:05]:
Heat of the moment.
Chris [00:09:07]:
You know, when you point to the loaded, gun at at somebody’s face, The last thing you wanna accidentally do is pull the trigger.
Sam [00:09:15]:
Might just hit a, like, a a sensitive trigger, and he forgot because he’s got multiple guns, you see.
Chris [00:09:20]:
Well, I do know from my time doing movies in in Nevada that you should not point guns at people. Yeah. Basically. So And there’s something Alex, what’s his name?
Sam [00:09:34]:
Which one? Rust. Alec Baldwin. Alec Baldwin. Alec Baldwin.
Chris [00:09:39]:
He would know.
Sam [00:09:41]:
The the podcast guest here has just handed me her smashed up broken phone, which how long did this last? Was it 2 months before you broke it? Yep. Yeah. Cool. She’s got a story here. This man kills a 12 foot python after it bites him on the testicles in the toilet in Thailand. He fought back by beating it to death with a toilet brush leaving the bathroom covered in blood. Well, it
Chris [00:10:08]:
was still holding on. I’m thinking it’s clamped on the whole time. Oh my god.
Sam [00:10:13]:
Yep. The python when the python didn’t let go, he used it to strike it into the head until it released its grip. He then extracted the snake and left with severe pain and bloodshed. He was stunned by the presence of a python in the toilet. He went to the hospital for a tetanus shot but did not require any stitches.
Chris [00:10:31]:
God damn. Let him go. Yeah. Oh my god. That’s that just I’m I’m getting nightmares about it.
Sam [00:10:39]:
The other gun story I heard the other day was an American. He was taking his rubbish out to a skip bin. Yeah. And he somehow tripped or fell over and the loaded gun that was cocked down the back of his pants went off and killed him. Oh. Now there’s so many gun stories in America. There’s always somebody.
Chris [00:10:57]:
Tell us. Actually, we never talked about Alec Baldwin in the, in the in the rust thing. Do you know he’s got off?
Sam [00:11:05]:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Chris [00:11:06]:
Yeah. Do you know why?
Sam [00:11:08]:
Firing on set?
Chris [00:11:09]:
Yes. Yeah. So he he killed the, cinematographer.
Sam [00:11:13]:
Yes.
Chris [00:11:13]:
And the bullet went through her and shot the producer in the arm.
Sam [00:11:18]:
Something like that.
Chris [00:11:19]:
Producer or something. Yeah. Yeah.
Sam [00:11:21]:
But the armor was seemed like a part time average Randy.
Chris [00:11:23]:
Oh, the armor had no idea what she was doing. But, yeah. It was totally down to the prosecution screwing it up.
Sam [00:11:31]:
Alright.
Chris [00:11:32]:
Like he was not innocent. He should have been found guilty, but the prosecution screwed up the the way they did the the evidence. Alright. Okay. And so he got off scot free. Well,
Sam [00:11:45]:
you know So That’s what happens when you’re, He’s on cat in the hat. Oh, good. Good. Is he? What’s he play? The bad guy. Oh, yeah. There you go. That’s what happens. Yeah.
Sam [00:11:57]:
I was going to tell you a story, but, I can’t remember it.
Chris [00:12:03]:
Okay. Alright. Did you hear about Eric Adams? Do you know who Eric Adams is first? He’s the New York mayor
Sam [00:12:11]:
Okay,
Chris [00:12:11]:
so New York mayor is a big position right like that’s a big city It’s a like New York or London mayor big jobs right? So he goes to the the India, Queens India Day Parade.
Sam [00:12:28]:
Yep.
Chris [00:12:29]:
So I guess it’s in Queens, but it’s India Day Parade.
Sam [00:12:32]:
Okay.
Chris [00:12:32]:
And he goes in there and there’s photos of him with all the things flag waving and all that.
Sam [00:12:37]:
Yeah. Cool.
Chris [00:12:38]:
And what’s the one thing you don’t wanna say, to the Indian crowd?
Sam [00:12:44]:
I don’t know what.
Chris [00:12:44]:
I love Pakistan. Pakistanis are my favorite people.
Sam [00:12:49]:
It’s like saying that’s right. It’s like saying Australians.
Chris [00:12:54]:
Well, it’s it’s a bit little bit worse because they do kill each other quite regularly.
Sam [00:12:57]:
We would if they were right next to each other. We got a bit of water. It’s good.
Chris [00:13:04]:
Yeah. So, yeah. No. You see, it had been a bit of fallout. But I’m like, dude, seriously. Like, you could have seen almost anything else, and it would be not great. Nice. But not as bad.
Sam [00:13:16]:
Not as bad as that? Yeah. That’s crazy. Hey. There’s a Hamilton based company. There seems to be all these companies doing cool things that you’ve never heard of. We may have spoken about these guys back in the day, but I’m not sure. Have you heard of Aware Group?
Chris [00:13:29]:
That does sound familiar. Aware Group. Why do I know that name?
Sam [00:13:33]:
You probably know it because they do a whole bunch of stuff in the AI, space. So 8 years ago, their first customer, they set it up. Their first customer is Microsoft. They made automations for a big coffee company helping speed up orders with facial recognition. So you’d walk in and the cameras or whatever would be like this, Jim. This is what he likes.
Chris [00:13:55]:
Yeah. Jim likes a soy lighter.
Sam [00:13:57]:
Yeah. So they’re being brought out by a company called HSO and, it’s a big company from I think Amsterdam. But anyway, they’ve got this guy that just got brought out, like the Hamilton guy. He goes, they’ve been around since 1987. They have about 2 and a half 1000 employees and make about a €1,000,000,000 a year, I believe. Okay. That doesn’t sound too convincing. He can’t say what the deal was.
Sam [00:14:22]:
It was very good for all the shareholders. He’s too young to retire, so they’re still gonna work from Hamilton. He’s hoping to, build out their Australian office with more people, bring more people into the Hamilton office. And, the what they did for Microsoft was to build AI demos for all the conferences for Microsoft around the world. So they’re doing all this AI automation, in general. And, that’s pretty much the whole story. There’s not much else about it.
Chris [00:14:51]:
But it’s just cool because it’s local dude.
Sam [00:14:53]:
It’s pretty cool. When we started this podcast, we thought we were behind 8 ball. Yeah. We weren’t. We’re pioneers, it turns out. We didn’t know that.
Chris [00:15:01]:
Well, yeah. I don’t know. I still don’t know about if you’d call us pioneers. But yeah. Okay.
Sam [00:15:06]:
We’re pioneers because we’re coming up to 500 episodes and there’s not many out there in New Zealand that can say that.
Chris [00:15:12]:
Well, because the average is 5?
Sam [00:15:14]:
Yes. The average is 5, I think, is podfade. It’s when they give up. Yep. Which is funny because the other podcast that we sort of put together was about 5. Yeah.
Chris [00:15:25]:
Yeah. So I did the New Zealand Filmmakers podcast, which I’m I’m happy about.
Sam [00:15:29]:
It still gets listens.
Chris [00:15:30]:
It still gets listens, but I’ve met all my goals. I met the people I wanted to meet Yep. And have excuses to meet. Yeah. That the only way I would have met them is to say, hey, I’ve got a podcast. Would you like to be interviewed?
Sam [00:15:44]:
That’s right. So the thing that seems to be happening now now you’ve been involved using AI for your day job
Chris [00:15:51]:
Yep.
Sam [00:15:52]:
For a while now. And Carl, the what’s his title for Epic?
Chris [00:15:57]:
He’s he’s the owner. He’s one of the business. Yeah.
Sam [00:15:59]:
Yeah. He’s one of the owners. He’s right into it.
Chris [00:16:01]:
Like, really into it. And he’s just got, research grant to research AI education.
Sam [00:16:07]:
Yeah. So you’re like by osmosis, you’re absorbing all this information. You probably know a lot more than a lot of people. I’m just seeing all these people now start posting about AI and how excited they are to be using it. People we know on Linkedin and stuff, and it’s all popping up. And I’m just like, what is going on? This has been around for a while now.
Chris [00:16:29]:
Yeah. It’s always well, you you and I have always been early adopters in all sorts of stuff. Yeah. Like podcasting. But but, yeah, it’s always been a little bit like that. The funny thing is that we started as a business, Epic Learning. We had a set of things that we had to do with AI, and we had it all set up and, basically, Carl’s gone right. We’re changing all that because everything’s changed.
Chris [00:16:56]:
Yeah. You know the the processes we put into the business, which was running AI, the way we were using our prompts and everything, he goes everything’s changed. We’ve got to change it all, which is cool, except everybody that seems to be getting into it now is doing what we did a year ago instead of what’s current. So anyway Very good. Okay. So I’ve got I’ve got one about allergies. So it must be really bad if you’re allergic to something necessary for your job.
Sam [00:17:28]:
I thought you’re gonna say like bee stings. No?
Chris [00:17:31]:
Particularly Okay. You are a highly paid
Sam [00:17:35]:
person. Okay.
Chris [00:17:37]:
Like an athlete. So this guy Alex Verdugo. He’s a Yankees outfielder.
Sam [00:17:44]:
Yeah.
Chris [00:17:44]:
He’s been dealing with this issue since 2021. He’s allergic to his batting gloves. What? I’m like, what if that’s not a thing? But apparently it is. So they have this, stuff in these gloves, which I did have a look at here, and it’s it’s just, it caused blisters and rashes on his hands. Yeah. There’s 2 chemicals, chromate and cobalt, which are quite common, really, I think, but and it’s unusual for people to be allergic to metals, but there are people that are allergic to metals. So he’s allergic to medicals and his they his hands blister and opens up, it starts scabbing, it’s also dry, and then and it just keeps breaking open, and he’s just got painful hands all the time. I’m like, what other jobs would you have really bad allergic allergies that would would be a problem? So when I was working at Spookers, a couple of the people
Sam [00:18:46]:
Be the makeup?
Chris [00:18:47]:
Yeah. Got alert became allergic to the makeup through putting it on too much. So latex allergy is quite common.
Sam [00:18:54]:
Yeah.
Chris [00:18:54]:
One of the first things we do when we get started there is they dab a bit of latex on you
Sam [00:19:00]:
To see.
Chris [00:19:00]:
Just to see if it raises up on your hand or something Yeah. Before they start sticking it all over your face. So, yeah. You think of any, allergies that would be bad to
Sam [00:19:11]:
I got, I’ll tell you what I got a reaction to many, many years ago. When I went to Benchmark Building Supplies, we’d have to pick up bags of plaster. Yeah. And I ended up just my arms ended up reacting, I think after so much exposure, I guess, to Jib plasterboard plaster.
Chris [00:19:28]:
You just reminded me of this one time. Oh
Sam [00:19:31]:
my god. Okay.
Chris [00:19:33]:
In Gibraltar, we were there’s a a crew of us, doing some stuff and we, I was 2022 I think.
Sam [00:19:43]:
And So 50 years ago? Yeah. A long
Chris [00:19:45]:
time ago. It was over 50. No. And we went we had to demolish this place. I’m like, oh, yeah. We can demolish this place for you. And we’re just in shorts. Nothing else.
Chris [00:19:57]:
Just shorts and shoes, you know, work boots because it’s like hot 40 degrees heat. And the main oven that we’re demolishing has fiberglass Yeah. Around it. Fiberglass is not great when you are topless. I am gonna tell you that right now.
Sam [00:20:17]:
All glass fibers.
Chris [00:20:18]:
Yeah. So you just end up as itchy as, and then that hit. So we finished the job. We we pulled it apart, and we all just went straight because we were right on the seaside, straight into the sea. Actually, sea was really good for it. Oh. But,
Sam [00:20:33]:
you probably got a little dose of a best dose there as well.
Chris [00:20:36]:
Yes. No doubt.
Sam [00:20:37]:
Because that was a miracle product. Could withstand heat really cheap.
Chris [00:20:41]:
Yeah. It’s in my bathroom. Okay.
Sam [00:20:45]:
Hey, just recently somebody found a bottle washed up on the beach after some storms in the US. And on August 7th, she pulled it out, had a handwritten note, amazing penmanship, a little bit hard to read, and it’s from 1947. So it’s been floating around or buried.
Chris [00:21:04]:
Holy crap.
Sam [00:21:06]:
Yeah. So you prove that? It was dated. Yeah. But you could write that right now. Well, let’s see if it says. Good call. Good call. They’re gonna try and reunite the family.
Sam [00:21:17]:
The letter to the writer’s descendants. They contacted because it was from like a military base that the person wrote it. So they are trying to track them down from their name and stuff. Or it’s a big hoax just to get a story.
Chris [00:21:32]:
Could be. Could be.
Sam [00:21:33]:
Could be.
Chris [00:21:34]:
That’s the sort of thing Kloey would do.
Sam [00:21:36]:
That’s right.
Chris [00:21:38]:
So, we talked about doctors at the beginning of this thing. Did you hear about this gastroenterologist No. That’s been placed on probation, following a Florida Department of Health investigation. So when I first saw the headline, I’m like, oh, yes. But then I I read it and I’m like, oh my god. This is a nightmare. Okay. So so imagine you’re the patient Yeah.
Chris [00:22:05]:
And you are given some anesthetic Yeah. And you go, bye bye, and then you go I’m awake now, but you’re getting a colonoscopy. Yeah. And it’s really painful because you’re not unconscious and you don’t I didn’t know these things was an you know?
Sam [00:22:26]:
Yeah. Yeah.
Chris [00:22:27]:
Supposed to be under for them. And the guy’s screaming Oh. Because he’s in so much pain. Yeah. But the doctor forgot to put in his hearing aid in. So he doesn’t hear any of this.
Sam [00:22:38]:
Come on. You the guy if he can scream in there, he’d be thrashing around. Won’t he move his arm?
Chris [00:22:44]:
Yeah.
Sam [00:22:45]:
No.
Chris [00:22:45]:
So he let me read this. The report claims during, during one of the procedures, Prasad began inserting the colonoscopy scope before the patient was fully sedated. Goes on to say the patients began yelling, but the doctor did not immediately stop the procedure, and they failed to realize the patient was not fully sedated due to his failure to wear his assistive hearing device during the procedure. How hang on. This this is what gets me then. The surgical team also couldn’t communicate with the doctor, so there was other people in the room.
Sam [00:23:19]:
How far away are these other people? We can’t wait. He’s just so committed and, like, he’s like,
Chris [00:23:25]:
good to see you.
Sam [00:23:27]:
Yeah. Oh, no.
Chris [00:23:29]:
The patient woke up in the middle of this thing. The staff couldn’t communicate with the doctor. They were apparently talking to him, but he’s like going. It’s a traumatic experience. All of a sudden you’re awake. You’ve been anesthetized. You’ve been sedated. You don’t know what’s happening.
Chris [00:23:43]:
You’re feeling the pain.
Sam [00:23:45]:
The doctor sounds like a bloody menace. Yeah. So I don’t think he’s a real doctor.
Chris [00:23:50]:
He’s been put away, you know, know, put on probation with the witness. Put away.
Sam [00:23:53]:
Taken out.
Chris [00:23:54]:
In the and the what they said is in that operating room, the physician has to be in touch with the patient physically or auditorily. Auditorily. Yeah. Yeah. And is equally important with the staff. He couldn’t do that. So you know and he goes, as a physician you’re king of the road here and everything that happens here is on you. So if you can’t listen, you can’t communicate, you’re screwed.
Chris [00:24:20]:
Yeah.
Sam [00:24:21]:
Bizarre. It’s very bizarre because you’re not in a you’re quite a confined ish space. And there is other people around. Wouldn’t you just, like, do this and run the dude’s face? Grab his hand
Chris [00:24:31]:
or something. I don’t know.
Sam [00:24:33]:
Grab his shoulder. Yeah. Oh, that’s right. He can’t feel touch. Oh, by the way, he’s blind. But but he’s the best guy we’ve got. But but we should see
Chris [00:24:43]:
him with that driver’s license.
Sam [00:24:44]:
Yeah. That’s right. You should see him with that pipe thing. Go in for it.
Chris [00:24:51]:
Alright. That’s pretty much all I got, I think.
Sam [00:24:54]:
What’s a zombie knife? And what can we do
Chris [00:24:56]:
with it? Okay. So this is I it was just the name that grabbed me and I was like, okay. I’ve got to look at these. But it doesn’t really make sense to me.
Sam [00:25:07]:
Yeah.
Chris [00:25:07]:
So they call them zombie style knives and machetes.
Sam [00:25:10]:
Yeah. We talked about this right at the start of the podcast or episode 5 or something.
Chris [00:25:14]:
In the UK, it’s got nothing to do with zombies though.
Sam [00:25:18]:
No. They’re zombie style knives. Yeah. So they’re like crazy big knives that you’d use in a zombie apocalypse.
Chris [00:25:25]:
Yeah. So it’s anything over 8 inches or 20 centimeters in length.
Sam [00:25:29]:
Yep.
Chris [00:25:30]:
Then that normally have a serrated cutting edge.
Sam [00:25:33]:
Okay.
Chris [00:25:34]:
And they were put in the, government’s list of prohibited offensive weapons. This is the UK in 2016. But there were some loopholes about, you know, they could be kept as sold if they did not have images depicting violence on their handles. So which is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Sam [00:25:52]:
So you know how they’ve got, stories where they like suggest another story. If you scroll down, they’ve got 4 surges public to hand in zombie style knives, and then one day ago like before this one, charity boss welcomes the zombie knife ban and then the story before that, Surrey police join call for zombie knife surrender. So they got 4 stories out of this one little thing. Just because stabbings are real bad over there and that’s what happened at the was it school? Dunedin? No. Overseas in Britain. There was bunch
Chris [00:26:25]:
of kids. I know the school. It was in Scotland, I think.
Sam [00:26:28]:
Yeah. Yeah. So it’s a stabby stab and took out some kids. Plain Like, 8 8 year old kids or something. Anyway Yeah.
Chris [00:26:33]:
Yeah. But that’s the thing. Right? They have a problem with stabbings in the UK, but you don’t get mass stabbings as much as you get mass shootings in the US.
Sam [00:26:43]:
No. Like No. You don’t because
Chris [00:26:46]:
you have to run faster than a, knife, a man with a knife often. You can’t run faster than a bullet ever.
Sam [00:26:52]:
No. No. And yeah. That’s right. Guns are the super easy way for lazy people.
Chris [00:26:57]:
Yeah. But that guy on the motorized scooter, he could do some damage in a supermarket with an a a r fender.
Sam [00:27:02]:
I think he could do some damage with the stinky feet rolling around. I mean, if that guy’s reaction to us, it must have been rotting. Rotting. It’s terrible.
Chris [00:27:13]:
But he’s not even using his feet. Why would they be stinky? It doesn’t make any sense.
Sam [00:27:17]:
Okay. Let’s see in this with solar sheep.
Chris [00:27:20]:
Okay. Well, it’s it’s again, it’s this is a dumb one, really. But it’s like, I can’t believe they’re making a deal of this.
Sam [00:27:27]:
Okay.
Chris [00:27:28]:
So the largest, solar grazing projects in the US will reduce mowing costs and emissions. So basically, all they’re doing is they’ve got these big solar fields. Yeah. You know what they call whatever they call them.
Sam [00:27:42]:
Yeah. Whatever. What’s that called? Well, that sounds good to me.
Chris [00:27:45]:
And they’re going, oh, we keep mowing around it and you gotta mow around the thing. Oh, let’s just put sheep on there.
Sam [00:27:52]:
Oh, okay.
Chris [00:27:53]:
How how long did it take you to figure that one out, genius?
Sam [00:27:57]:
I’m sure that we’ve I’m sure there’s been a crowd that worked out that they could do that and get dual use out of the land. And I can’t remember it what where it was.
Chris [00:28:07]:
It seems so obvious. But anyway, Okay. JR Howard of Texas Solar Sheep can’t buy sheep fast enough. He supplies them to solar farms where their grazing keeps the grass short for less than the cost of mowing it.
Sam [00:28:22]:
Okay. So he’s just moving sheep around.
Chris [00:28:24]:
So good one, man.
Sam [00:28:25]:
That’s good.
Chris [00:28:25]:
We’ve got 6,000 sheep now. So
Sam [00:28:27]:
Well, it’s a decent amount.
Chris [00:28:28]:
Decent amount.
Sam [00:28:29]:
It’s a decent, idea, I guess. Anyway, that brings us to the end of this podcast.
Chris [00:28:35]:
Alright. So 5 hundredth podcast coming up soon.
Sam [00:28:38]:
Yep. 11th September. 7 PM. The region. Cinema 3.
Chris [00:28:42]:
Yeah. Be there or be square.
Sam [00:28:44]:
Okay. That’s a old school thing. Until then, I’m Sam. I’m Chris. I’m Kloey. See you.
Chris [00:28:50]:
Bye.
Sam [00:28:51]:
Bye. Hope you enjoyed the show. Make sure to subscribe and you’re catchy next week. Don’t forget to tell your friend.
