Sam [00:00:21]:
Hello, and welcome to episode 520 of the Chris and Sam podcast.
Chris [00:00:25]:
527 even. What did I say? 520.
Sam [00:00:29]:
I’m looking at two things at once. 500 again. No. I’m leaving this on. Hello. Welcome to episode 527 of the Chris and Sam podcast.
Chris [00:00:37]:
I’m Chris.
Sam [00:00:38]:
The podcast where we take you behind the scenes of what’s going on here.
Chris [00:00:42]:
And he’s Sam. That’s right.
Sam [00:00:44]:
This is actually off the rails.
Chris [00:00:48]:
The arms haven’t even stated.
Sam [00:00:50]:
Hang on. If there’s two of us named and you say Chris, they can just if this is your first episode, welcome. We’re all about random technology in life, and my brain apparently is not working. I will tell you why. Because I went to Rotorua today, and it took me two and a half hours to get there.
Chris [00:01:05]:
Is that what what time how long does it normally take to get there?
Sam [00:01:09]:
Around an hour.
Chris [00:01:10]:
Oh, okay. Cool. I mean, I hardly ever go to Rotorua, so I couldn’t Yeah.
Sam [00:01:14]:
It’s a bit before Rotorua, but two and a half hours is crazy. The, mapping apps was like there’s an accident, you know, reported. I don’t know if there was. I really do think nobody knows how to merge. And when there’s so much traffic, you get to the end of the expressway. Of course.
Chris [00:01:32]:
Yeah. Friday.
Sam [00:01:33]:
Everyone merges. Yep. This is our Easter show. Everybody merges, and then they carry on a little bit, and then you’ve got all this traffic coming off the Cambridge Off ramp to then merge. So it’s double merging, and we do not like it. Then you end up going into Carripero, and you got that intersection there, and it was so slow. Shout out to the little child with his hand out, giving thumbs up to people. It looked like he was shaking his fist for a while because we were following this car.
Sam [00:02:00]:
Like, because we were all going 10 or 15 k’s an hour for, like, an hour. Like, you know? And he’s shaking his little fist, and he’s and and then he was doing thumbs up, and I think well, we think he was shaking his fist if nobody gave him a thumbs up back. So I gave the most enthusiastic thumbs up back to this kid so much so the dad that was driving just cracked up laughing. You are welcome, sir. Talking about Easter, I also got some very special custom chocolate Easter eggs again today. Yeah. So weeks ago, there was a random $12 charge on our bank account, and it literally had the weirdest name. And it made no sense to me.
Sam [00:02:44]:
So you’re like, don’t
Chris [00:02:45]:
worry about that. Don’t get that.
Sam [00:02:47]:
And I was like, okay. That’s only $12. She did tell me today that when she saw that come through, she thought she’d been scammed for $12. So somehow she got an email from New Zealand Post, and it said, hey. Do you want some good eggs?
Chris [00:03:05]:
Right.
Sam [00:03:06]:
And she’s like, yes. Yes. I do. Paid $12. It went to some rando named company, and, she sent them a photo of her face, and they printed it on these foil wrappers of Easter eggs. Oh my god. And we don’t even know what this photo is. Like, we she can’t seem to find the the source photo.
Chris [00:03:29]:
The original.
Sam [00:03:30]:
She’s like, I don’t even know which one I sent him, but it’s very weird looking.
Chris [00:03:34]:
It looks almost creepy, to be honest.
Sam [00:03:36]:
It’s like an alien because of the shape of the egg.
Chris [00:03:39]:
And and the sunglasses make it look like those big alien eyes. Yes. Yeah.
Sam [00:03:43]:
Yes. So, that’s and I think they said they were limited. I’m not sure what the deal was. Says on the side, from one good egg to another this Easter.
Chris [00:03:52]:
Oh, okay.
Sam [00:03:54]:
So I got those today. Pretty random. Wasn’t expecting them and never heard of it at all. Tastes alright
Chris [00:04:01]:
or haven’t tried it?
Sam [00:04:02]:
Well, they were normal, because Sarah goes, I was actually wondering how they were gonna do that. They’ve just brought normal wrapped foil marshmallow eggs
Chris [00:04:12]:
Uh-huh.
Sam [00:04:12]:
And then wrapped their custom foil around it.
Chris [00:04:14]:
Right. So they
Sam [00:04:15]:
don’t have to touch the egg.
Chris [00:04:16]:
Right. Right. Right. That that makes sense.
Sam [00:04:18]:
And then probably, it looks like spent a lot on the packaging, which is quite a nice looking box. Yeah. I don’t know. Anyway, it’s a thing I learned about today.
Chris [00:04:27]:
And, yeah, who knew? Who knew?
Sam [00:04:30]:
Who knew?
Chris [00:04:31]:
I what have I got? I’ve got a few things I noted through the weeks. I these are just things that tickle me. They’re not really major. One of the things was the, aircraft carrier that’s being built at the moment, and it was going to be the USS Enterprise. They’re gonna call it the Enterprise.
Sam [00:04:47]:
Oh, okay. Yeah.
Chris [00:04:47]:
Which is cool. Yeah. You know what its new name is?
Sam [00:04:49]:
Oh, like, is it Trump? No. Is it Trump? Is that after Trump?
Chris [00:04:54]:
No. It’s the USS Musk.
Sam [00:04:56]:
Oh, come on. No. I know. No. No.
Chris [00:05:00]:
They’re taking it to Musk. I don’t know if if he paid extra for that or what.
Sam [00:05:04]:
He is the biggest weirdo. He’s hitting on women on Twitter wanting their babies, and when they say no, he destroys their Twitter account and removes their followers. He’s turning into an absolute creepy dude, like, in the public more so than we knew about. He’s using Twitter as his own dating pool.
Chris [00:05:22]:
Oh, it’s weird, man.
Sam [00:05:24]:
They they reckon there’s a whole bunch more children that they haven’t even told us about. Yeah. Which I brought he’s just he is like a child. He’s like a weird teenager who had no friends at school. Yeah. Still has no friends, just has the money. And if he wants to populate the world with his genetically superior children, let’s all just remember, he’s bald as and has hair plugs.
Chris [00:05:50]:
Because if you look Not that that means anything. If you you’re losing your hair listening to this.
Sam [00:05:54]:
No. Don’t they It’s not a big deal. It’s not a big deal. But the way he’s dealing with it
Chris [00:05:59]:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. I know what you’re saying. I know what you’re saying.
Sam [00:06:01]:
I feel sorry for the people that work on that ship. They’ll they’ll have an unofficial name.
Chris [00:06:07]:
Yeah. Yeah. Oh god.
Sam [00:06:11]:
It doesn’t even fit with the other ships. This is really why getting me wound up.
Chris [00:06:15]:
I’ve I’ve got one here for, which I I think Guy Pigdon would would love. So England’s got a new, church. It’s, it’s called it’s England’s wrestling church.
Sam [00:06:25]:
Yes.
Chris [00:06:26]:
It seeks to con converts with baptisms and body slams. So Shipley England, sitting around a wrestling ring ring, churchgoers roared as local hero Billy O’Keefe body slammed a fighter named Disciple. Okay. Beneath stained glass windows, they whooped and cheered as bully tattooed wrestlers tumbled into the aisle during a six man tag team battle. This is wrestling church, which brings blood, sweat, and tears, mostly sweat, to Saint Peter’s Anglican church in the Northern England town of Shipley. It’s the creation of Gareth Thompson. Gareth, always a name for somebody who’s doing something
Sam [00:07:05]:
Weird.
Chris [00:07:05]:
Weird. A charismatic 37 year old who says he was saved by pro wrestling and Jesus and wants others to have the same experience. Now I’m not a religious person. This is the first thing I’ve ever heard that I’m like, I’d go there. I’d check that out. Check this once.
Sam [00:07:22]:
Do you think he’s sort of like, I’m into wrestling, and we gotta find somewhere to do it. And this church I spoke to said, hey. We can do it every week, and it’s real cheap.
Chris [00:07:34]:
I don’t know. Like know. Because okay. Thompson says the outsized characters and scripted morality battles of pro wrestling
Sam [00:07:41]:
I can imagine that. Yeah. Yeah.
Chris [00:07:42]:
Naturally with a Christian message. I would never have picked that. Boil it down to the basics, it’s good versus evil. When I became a Christian, I started seeing the wrestling world through a Christian lens. I started seeing David and Goliath. I started seeing Cain and Abel. I started seeing Asa having his heritage stolen from him, and I’m like, we could tell these stories in the ring. Anyway Okay.
Chris [00:08:05]:
I thought I thought it was hilarious. It it’s interesting. Bunch of photos in this thing.
Sam [00:08:09]:
It’s interesting though, because I think you’ll have the core group of wrestlers who are either wanting to wrestle or be part of the church or both or whatever. But I wonder how many of the congregation are just like, what is going on here?
Chris [00:08:26]:
Yeah. I mean You know?
Sam [00:08:27]:
I don’t know.
Chris [00:08:28]:
I’m assuming it’s a different session, so the normal church guys will go
Sam [00:08:33]:
Yeah. Yeah. There’s, like, logistics involved, and I wanna know that logistics. Tell me.
Chris [00:08:39]:
Yeah. I don’t know. Anyway, moving on. Moving on. I thought that was I thought that was pretty cool. This other thing I saw I don’t know about this. It it all all that tickled me about this one. So, deputies seized seven tigers from somebody’s home in, America, of course.
Chris [00:08:58]:
Yeah. Whereabouts I
Sam [00:08:59]:
think they need more.
Chris [00:09:00]:
Nye County. I don’t know where that is. Oh, home in Pahrump. Pahrump is where, we went to do our, film festival that time. Yeah. So it’s in Nevada.
Sam [00:09:10]:
Nevada. Yeah.
Chris [00:09:11]:
But, they see seven tigers, but the guy goes, no. They’re my service animals.
Sam [00:09:16]:
Well, yeah. Okay. Anything can be a service animal.
Chris [00:09:20]:
That’s what cracked me up is the whole service animals. Authority said he has owned tigers for several years, but has been violating county ordinances and special condition permits. But, yeah, I I’m just like yeah. Stripes. Stripes, service animals. Yeah. Go with a zebra if you’re gonna have some
Sam [00:09:40]:
But I think I I’m sure we’ve covered this in the past where somehow they can, like, literally get anything signed off as a service animal, and then they can take it anywhere, pig, goat, whatever you want. Yeah. And because if it’s in service to you and it helps keep you calm in some situations, because if you’ve got anxiety and stuff, they’ll I’ve got this service. I’m sure there’s a comedy skit I’ve seen about this.
Chris [00:10:07]:
Oh, I I’m I yeah. I’m sure I’ve seen one or two about about, yeah, service animals. They’re hilarious. And then I’ve seen somebody on, like, one of those airplane filmed ones. You know, like, somebody’s filmed
Sam [00:10:23]:
that. That’s that’s And That’s all
Chris [00:10:24]:
taken. Think it’s fake.
Sam [00:10:26]:
Okay. I
Chris [00:10:26]:
think it’s staged because somebody filmed it, and and this woman’s sitting next to this woman with a, service dog. Yeah. And she goes, I don’t want the animal next to me. It’ll bite me. And she goes, no. It’s a service dog. And I think it was one of those diabetic sniffing ones or something like that.
Sam [00:10:44]:
Okay.
Chris [00:10:45]:
But she goes, there’s nothing wrong with you. Why have you got a dog? And she goes, I’m not telling you why I haven’t Yeah.
Sam [00:10:49]:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Chris [00:10:50]:
And they had this big argument. And and it was just the it was just too perfectly sound sound and all that. I just didn’t know if it’s real. But, yeah, you gotta worry about those. Oh, well, not worry, but but think about those things because a lot of them, they’re just too staged.
Sam [00:11:06]:
Yeah. You know? Have you heard about the craziness of the Minecraft movie? No. Okay. So the Minecraft movie was filmed here in New Zealand.
Chris [00:11:14]:
Oh, I didn’t know that.
Sam [00:11:15]:
Yep. They filmed a large or they filmed a couple of days in Huntley of all places. Now Huntley, apparently, some of the streets, their houses do not have fences, which matches how some of the houses in America are. We don’t have them because it’s a poor area, but whatever. There’s a shot. I think it must be near the start. I haven’t seen this film. They’ve got the Huntley, power plant in the background, and they’ve modified one of the stacks.
Sam [00:11:44]:
And it’s a biscuit factory, I think it is. So it still looks the same, and you can spot it. The rest of the film was shot, I think, up in Auckland or Kymu, somewhere around there, you know, one of that big soundstage. Yeah. Cool. So they’ve got this phenomenon. So you went and saw this movie? Or No.
Chris [00:12:01]:
No. No.
Sam [00:12:01]:
Not yet. Talking about it. No. Because I might get punchy. Okay.
Chris [00:12:07]:
Cal already said this. Cal’s like, I can’t go and see this movie because I’m like, what are you talking about? Anyway, Karen
Sam [00:12:13]:
Chicken jockey. That’s what it is. What? So you understand the concept of Minecraft? Vaguely. Yeah. Okay. Whatever. That’s all you need to know. And it’s it’s it’s gone really well.
Sam [00:12:26]:
Like, people didn’t like how it initially looked in the trailer, but people scores and scores of people are gonna see this film. I think it’s doing really well. There’s a scene where, so Jack Black plays Steve. He’s just a generic character, and Jason Momoa’s character, Garrett, is forced into a fighting ring against several mobs taken from the source material. A chicken appears in front of him, prompting Garrett to ask Steve if they expect him to fight the animal. Then a box appears above the chicken and releases a baby zombie. You with me now so far?
Chris [00:13:04]:
Vaguely.
Sam [00:13:05]:
Yeah. And this baby zombie sits atop the chicken, and then Jack Black as Steve exclaims chicken jockey. And then Garrett, Momoa, is then thrown against the side of the ring by the chicken jockey, and the scene ends. That’s it. Right? Okay. And for some reason, audiences around the world, probably America to begin with, are absolutely losing it, screaming, throwing all their popcorn, drinks, toilet paper that they seem to have brought with them, and absolutely just making a mess of the theater. Theaters, including the region here, have said you can come to the screening, but if anything happens, we’re gonna stop the film kicking out. They’re just all reacting.
Sam [00:13:51]:
It’s gone viral, so everybody’s doing it. Some movie theaters are now doing special screenings where they’ll say, hey, look, you can scream and yell as much as you want. There is no way when they made this film that they thought, oh, this random little scene we just chucked in has gonna go viral and make everyone go crazy.
Chris [00:14:08]:
I don’t get why. It’s It does it
Sam [00:14:10]:
it’s it doesn’t matter. I think it’s just one of those things. There’s viral videos going around showing people going crazy when they reveal the chicken jockey. This is Avengers level cheering. They jump up and down, popcorn flying through the air, and it’s just super viral and people getting kicked out. And I saw some things, and we were trying to figure it out at home. And I was like, I don’t don’t know what’s going on. So I had to read this article, and I was like, oh, there’s no reason.
Sam [00:14:41]:
Cool. It’s just whatever. Because I I did see
Chris [00:14:44]:
I think, I think Carl shared it in our work chat, and it had a an image of the Jack Black was in the foreground. I didn’t know Jason Momoa was in this thing.
Sam [00:14:54]:
Yeah.
Chris [00:14:54]:
Yeah. Jack Black was in the foreground. In the background, there’s a house, a a blocky house.
Sam [00:15:00]:
Yeah.
Chris [00:15:00]:
And then it’s got lines on it going, once you can see it, you won’t unsee it. And I’m like, I don’t get it. And, Crispy had to young Crispy that works with us, had to explain. It’s like, they’re blocks, not slabs. They should be they should be blocks, not slabs. They they’re stacked slabs. And I’m like, yeah. I still don’t get it.
Chris [00:15:20]:
Okay.
Sam [00:15:20]:
Okay. Okay.
Chris [00:15:21]:
Yeah.
Sam [00:15:21]:
So, anyway, you know, it’s just one of those things I think that just hits for some reason, and all these people wanna go to the movies to see this thing to be part of it. I don’t know. There’s no way they would have known. Anyway, it’s working out well for them, I think.
Chris [00:15:39]:
Have you been across this story, it’s been on RNZ Radio New Zealand.
Sam [00:15:46]:
Okay.
Chris [00:15:48]:
The coalition directs health in New Zealand to stop saying pregnant people?
Sam [00:15:52]:
No. What do they say now?
Chris [00:15:54]:
So so they haven’t they they they want them to say women instead of pregnant people, because they don’t say women. And and what they had said for a while were people with a cervix.
Sam [00:16:08]:
Okay. Carry on.
Chris [00:16:08]:
The whole woke thing. Right? So they’ve been calling them pregnant people, people with a cervix, or individuals capable of childbearing. Okay. And it’s like I
Sam [00:16:19]:
don’t know what’s happening now.
Chris [00:16:21]:
Well, because you don’t wanna say women because that’s sexist, genderous, whatever. I don’t know. Something like that. But it’s like
Sam [00:16:28]:
They’re the only ones that can have children. But yeah. Or give birth to children, I should say.
Chris [00:16:32]:
Were going, yeah, but anybody who’s not you know, doesn’t speak English as their first language, this is a problem. Because, Nat was saying we were discussing it at work, and Nat was saying because she speaks Spanish pretty well.
Sam [00:16:48]:
Okay. Yeah.
Chris [00:16:49]:
Been learning it for a while. She goes, somebody said to me, person with a cervix, I’d have no freaking clue in Spanish. I’d have no freaking clue what they’re talking about. True. You know? I know what a woman is Yeah. In Spanish. I I know.
Sam [00:17:01]:
You You try to mine that
Chris [00:17:02]:
out. Yeah. Yeah. Let’s let’s have a a look at that toilet sign again. A woman with a facing with a servant.
Sam [00:17:13]:
Okay. And who is this who who is this benefiting?
Chris [00:17:17]:
So Health New Zealand, has been using inclusive language, which is this person with a cervix language. But the Coalition for Health or something has been going on going, nah. Nah. Just call them women for god’s sake.
Sam [00:17:33]:
Common sense one, aye. Like
Chris [00:17:36]:
Simplify the hell out of it. You can’t oh, okay.
Sam [00:17:38]:
Man with gammy leg, come this way. Puber bescent boy with something stuck in a hole. You, come over here. It’s all inclusive, Chris. Gotta make them inclusive. Don’t want them not to be inclusive.
Chris [00:17:53]:
Have you have you heard this thing? I because we mentioned must before, but have you heard this how they’re trolling them in Palo Alto?
Sam [00:18:00]:
No. Brilliant. Good.
Chris [00:18:01]:
I think this is brilliant.
Sam [00:18:03]:
Well, they don’t
Chris [00:18:03]:
So somebody’s hacked a bunch of traffic lights in Palo Alto
Sam [00:18:08]:
It’s amazing.
Chris [00:18:08]:
They’re trying to figure out how. Where you hit the crosswalk Yeah. And where it goes beep beep boop, it’s got a recorded message, and it’s an AI of his voice. It’s like it’s not actually him, but it sounds like him. And there’s I’ve got two that I wrote down. I, like, had to I I wrote this down from the news. I kept pausing it, writing it Okay. Pausing it.
Chris [00:18:28]:
So one is, hi. This is Elon Musk. Welcome to Palo Alto, the home of Tesla engineering. You know, they say money can’t buy happiness, and, yeah, okay. I guess that’s true. God knows I’ve tried, but can buy a try Cybertruck, and that’s pretty sick. Right? Okay. I’m so alone.
Chris [00:18:49]:
Yep. That was
Sam [00:18:50]:
Yep. That’s right.
Chris [00:18:51]:
The other one. And, like, I heard these, it was just so good. And then it is, hi. I’m Elon. Can we be friends? Will you be my friend? I’ll give you a Cybertruck. I promise. Okay. Look.
Chris [00:19:04]:
You don’t know the level of depravity I would stoop to just for a crumb of approval. I mean, let’s be real. It’s not like I had any moral convictions to begin with. Right?
Sam [00:19:13]:
So true. On point. He’s just a weirdo, a very rich weirdo.
Chris [00:19:20]:
But that’s so good. And that’s the thing. I think we need to do more of for these billionaires that are ruling the world is just take the piss out of them mercilessly. Yeah. Why not? Honestly. Honestly. It makes me feel better anyway. Last week And there was also an oh, I I’ve mentioned this too.
Chris [00:19:41]:
There’s also a free 0800 hotline that helps you deal with Tesla regret syndrome. Yes. You read this thing. And it goes, there’s three three, three or four main options. It was like, you know, I I don’t like the fact that I’ve got my, Tesla, but I can’t really afford to sell it. Like, I’m I’m
Sam [00:20:03]:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That’s so true.
Chris [00:20:04]:
I’ve got this or I I really I’m pretty happy with the car, and it and and it’s got these you push through. And it’s so funny, this stuff. And then they’ve got those Tesla, protests Yeah. At, at at all these Tesla dealers, and they’ve made these, debadging centers. Like, we understand you can’t get rid of your Tesla because, you know, not everybody can do that. So come in, and we’ll do a three d badging. And they have the hot heat gun, and they they take it off with dental floss. And then they go, do you want an Audi one instead? And they put other ones.
Chris [00:20:38]:
I’ve seen
Sam [00:20:39]:
I’ve seen these cameras. My That’s awesome. I will say I haven’t seen any Teslas driving around recently. Now that you’ve seen that
Chris [00:20:49]:
I’ve got one friend who’s got a a friend of a friend, really. One of Cal’s mates, Dave, is is got a Tesla, and he bought it a while ago, and he really he quite likes it. I think he’s still pretty keen on it. I I think he’s
Sam [00:21:03]:
I’m sure. Yeah.
Chris [00:21:03]:
And and, Carl’s a huge Elon fan. A huge How
Sam [00:21:08]:
does he feel about everything? Well, yeah. He’s Harley’s a huge Elon fan.
Chris [00:21:13]:
Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. He yeah. I I don’t get it because, Nat had her trip overseas, six months ago, whatever, and went to South America, and she goes, I sold a bunch of my Tesla shares for that. I’m like, that’s probably a good thing. You wanna sell more because they’re gonna go down in price. And Carl’s going, no. They’re not.
Chris [00:21:33]:
I’m like, dude, do you know what and this was six month, four months ago or something. I’m like,
Sam [00:21:38]:
do you have oh, yeah.
Chris [00:21:38]:
It was, yeah, two, three months ago because he was in doing all his doji stuff. And I’m like, dude, this that stock is gonna tumble.
Sam [00:21:49]:
Craziness. Anyway anyway, Last week, I think it was, or the week before, one of them, I couldn’t remember the name of that Kickstarter project with the spice thing.
Chris [00:22:00]:
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Sam [00:22:01]:
It’s called spicer with two r’s. Oh, nice. Smart cooking, delicious flavors. They want they’ve only five days to go. When you hear this, it’s gonna be three days to go. So if you want this thing, go to kickstarter.com. We’ll have a link in the show notes. They wanted 43,000 New Zealand dollars.
Sam [00:22:20]:
I’ve got a hundred and $57,000.
Chris [00:22:23]:
So this is where you can multi mix lots of different spices.
Sam [00:22:29]:
Like, I like the concept. And, from the for $215, you get the unit, and you get the little you could get to pick 12 capsules that go in it. Right? Which is fine. I get that. But, I mean, a, the top bit’s probably gonna fail at some point with all its electronic stuff. And, b, is this business gonna be around with these capsules?
Chris [00:22:53]:
Yeah. Yeah.
Sam [00:22:54]:
Yeah. You refill them. Oh, I hope you can. I don’t know. Yeah. Check it out because, you
Chris [00:23:00]:
because you wouldn’t want it to be what was that? Remember that orange juice
Sam [00:23:03]:
thing that they do? Stupid thing.
Chris [00:23:05]:
Yeah. Stupid thing. Instead of buying an orange and squeezing it
Sam [00:23:09]:
We’ll put it
Chris [00:23:10]:
in a pouch. You buy the pouch to put in the machine, and the machine empties the pouch. Like, what’s
Sam [00:23:16]:
but you could reporters could empty the pouch better than the machine could.
Chris [00:23:21]:
I know. That it was the dumbest, dumbest thing ever. That was hilarious. I can’t even remember what it’s called. Anyway This,
Sam [00:23:28]:
this earlier this week, I did my first aid course for work. Oh, yeah. I did do a full day one because I
Chris [00:23:33]:
So you’ve you’ve had cool first aid courses for many years now. And when I say cool first aid courses, he’s had, a police version of them Yeah. Where the guy knows a lot of interesting stories about interesting things. So how did that compare to this?
Sam [00:23:51]:
Well, this is just more normal. Yeah. So the police one just, like, you know, you do first aid, and then they’re talking about how to spot a meth house. Something about, some people going crazy and how to deal with that. Dab don’t wipe when you are dealing with pepper spray, overspray, things like that. This one was way more normal, but I had to do the full one because I’d had I don’t have a current first aid certificate. Alright. And that was all good.
Sam [00:24:18]:
The instructor was really good, actually. She was really engaging. It did seem at some points we may have been going pretty quick through some things. Like, we covered stuff, but if you didn’t know anything, like, about bandaging bandaging Yeah. And stuff, it was sort of like, just put this on. Whereas I think the police had a little bit more of a technique. She was just large. Now, this was at a place it was great.
Sam [00:24:46]:
The largest private first aid trainer in New Zealand, which I’d never heard of, never been to before. Been doing it for many years, and NZQA accredited or something for the last ten. Anyway, what do you think we’re using as training material? We’re we’re watching videos. We’re talking about CPR mainly, people having some sort of stroke or whatever, something like that. Go. What do you think?
Chris [00:25:14]:
Straight.
Sam [00:25:15]:
No. I don’t know what you mean. Bondi Rescue.
Chris [00:25:20]:
Oh, really?
Sam [00:25:20]:
Yeah. Yeah. Because they’ve got people having, one Yeah. No. They’re fair. No. They’re fair. So one guy was, like, having a heart attack, and he was a bit weird on the beach.
Sam [00:25:31]:
And then they flipped him over, and he was like, oh, I don’t feel too good. And they put on the defib and all this sort of stuff, and then he just, like, had a heart attack and stopped. And they’re like, oh, boop. Shock him. Oh, he’s back again. And they did full CPR on him, so it was interesting to watch. And then the ambulance turned up, took him away. The other one, they they turn up.
Sam [00:25:52]:
They pull this young guy out of the surf. He’s a foreign exchange student. They’re like, okay. He’s not breathing. We don’t know how long he’s been in the water for. They’re doing some CPR. They hook him up to the defib. I think they shock him twice.
Sam [00:26:05]:
Nothing happens. They’re still working. Ambulance is there. They shock him the third time. He comes back to life, whatever, and that’s all good. And then our instructor at first aid goes, now what do you think caused that? We’re like, oh, it looks like he was surfing. He’s the surfboard’s hit his head or he’s hit the ground or, you know, something like that. She goes, no.
Sam [00:26:25]:
None of that. It turns out he has a condition where his heart just might stop randomly. Okay. And then and then she goes, so there must have been a follow-up episode where she knew this? And then she goes, yeah. So they did some surgery, and then he’s got, like, not quite a pacemaker, but sort of like a defib thing now in his chest.
Chris [00:26:45]:
And I was
Sam [00:26:45]:
like, so there’s no way we would be know that? She goes, no.
Chris [00:26:47]:
No. No.
Sam [00:26:48]:
Not at all. I’m okay. Cool.
Chris [00:26:50]:
But it’s good to know that those are things that could
Sam [00:26:52]:
Yeah. Yeah. Totally. So it was good.
Chris [00:26:54]:
No. That’s cool.
Sam [00:26:55]:
Interesting people on the course as well. And, yeah, it was cool.
Chris [00:27:00]:
Pretty much everything that I had. I am working a bit this weekend, so I’ve got some videos to do for work, and I got some other stuff to do. And today, I was going to do all my the the last, quarter of my expenses in Henry. Yes. So I did it all up to Christmas and my Christmas Yeah.
Sam [00:27:21]:
I remember. Yeah.
Chris [00:27:22]:
But, no, I can’t. I can’t add anything because they go, it looks like you haven’t been doing any work. Maybe it won’t let me put any expenses in until I talk to them. And then it says, we’re not gonna be here on Friday. I’m like Oh.
Sam [00:27:34]:
So I
Chris [00:27:34]:
had to leave a message in in that thing. Because because I haven’t,
Sam [00:27:40]:

Chris [00:27:41]:
any invoicing since, the TEDx stuff. Oh, yeah. So I don’t know. I said, well, I’m still looking to sell some stuff. So
Sam [00:27:52]:
And you’ve still got expenses throughout the year, like Yeah. Monthly stuff and whatever. So Yeah. I guess they’ve just got a check.
Chris [00:27:59]:
