Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Wake up with a Bang.
- 0:04Speaker 2: And the Club on nine four seven. Now I have
- 0:07Speaker 2: a friend. Her name is Tabang, and Tabang follows every
- 0:11Speaker 2: conspiracy in the world, especially conspiracy that is speaking about
- 0:16Speaker 2: food and the future of food.
- 0:19Speaker 3: Okay, now, how do you know it's a conspiracy? Yeah,
- 0:22Speaker 3: because just when she starts talking about you, no.
- 0:24Speaker 2: No, she she mostly reposts stories on her Instagram. And
- 0:29Speaker 2: after the nineteenth story about salmon not really coming from.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Norway, Okay, they start wondering.
- 0:36Speaker 2: You know, she like, I start panicking and I start
- 0:39Speaker 2: believing in it.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Well, the more the thing about conspiracy, the more you
- 0:44Speaker 3: watch that stuff, the more the algorithm is going to
- 0:46Speaker 3: show it to you until you don't know what the
- 0:48Speaker 3: truth is anymore.
- 0:50Speaker 2: I was just like, you know, it was easier when
- 0:52Speaker 2: you follow j Loo outfits. But now we are here.
- 0:57Speaker 4: We are slowly getting rid of all thieves to vegetables.
- 1:00Speaker 4: And honestly, it's brilliant because once every apple, grape, watermelon,
- 1:05Speaker 4: and tomato is seedless, guess who controls life itself. No
- 1:10Speaker 4: more planting your own food, no more saving seeds for
- 1:13Speaker 4: next season. Everything you eat, everything that grows will.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Come from our laps.
- 1:19Speaker 4: And when the last natural seed is gone. That's when
- 1:22Speaker 4: it gets fun. We can make them rare, expensive, maybe
- 1:26Speaker 4: even licensed. Only billionaires that will have gardens and everyone
- 1:30Speaker 4: else will have to subscribe to eat. Sounds insane, right,
- 1:33Speaker 4: but it's already happening. Seedless isn't convenience, it's containment. Every
- 1:38Speaker 4: time you pick up a seedless fruit, you're holding a
- 1:41Speaker 4: future that can't reproduce. So yeah, expect more seedless everything,
- 1:45Speaker 4: because the easiest way to control the world is to.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Stab it from growing. So remember to stay safe out there.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Oh this sounds ominous, you.
- 1:54Speaker 2: People that like seedless grapes. Yeah, you are making it
- 1:58Speaker 2: that it's easy for the man to be the only
- 2:01Speaker 2: one who's able to grow.
- 2:03Speaker 3: Fruits, right you all of these so the rest of
- 2:06Speaker 3: us are going to go hungry because we can't grow
- 2:08Speaker 3: the fruit exactly, So you can't plant that nachi, and
- 2:10Speaker 3: then one.
- 2:11Speaker 2: Day you won't be able to have a toasted cheese
- 2:13Speaker 2: and tomato. Do you know why, no, tomato, You didn't
- 2:16Speaker 2: pay your tomato subscription. No way, you didn't often for
- 2:19Speaker 2: a free trial, and then we charge you anyway.
- 2:21Speaker 1: This is a wild conspiracy theory.
- 2:24Speaker 5: Genetic modification of food and fruit and the growing of
- 2:27Speaker 5: fruit and fair has been going on for a very
- 2:29Speaker 5: very long, very long. Oh so like it's very difficult.
- 2:33Speaker 5: I've been told by a horticulturist. If you take like
- 2:35Speaker 5: your apple and your current apple, and you take the
- 2:38Speaker 5: pip in the middle seed and you plant it, you
- 2:41Speaker 5: try to grow it yourself, you'll get a tree. But
- 2:43Speaker 5: the chances of it growing an apple are very slim.
- 2:47Speaker 2: I don't know the reason.
- 2:48Speaker 5: It was a very long story, and my man clicked out, But.
- 2:51Speaker 6: Cindy really is the modern day eve married to a
- 2:54Speaker 6: man in the fruit and bench business, speaks to a horticulturalist.
- 2:58Speaker 5: And offers apples to everybody.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Would you like and pipe darling? But here's my question
- 3:03Speaker 2: to people who do plant fruit and beige. You know, oh,
- 3:07Speaker 2: I got this ever from my garden. Oh, I got
- 3:10Speaker 2: this cucumber from my garden. My neighbor does this irene?
- 3:13Speaker 2: Oh I've got a fresh batch of spinach. Letters would
- 3:15Speaker 2: you like? I want to know, like, how much are
- 3:20Speaker 2: you planting for yourself?
- 3:22Speaker 1: Well that's why I know people.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Will plant their own viage. They will tell you the
- 3:25Speaker 2: of a head tache.
- 3:26Speaker 3: Yeah I know, but this is what I was going
- 3:28Speaker 3: to say. All of you are growing these little gardens
- 3:31Speaker 3: at home. How much are you actually eating of that garden?
- 3:33Speaker 3: Because you can only eat so much rocket in one
- 3:36Speaker 3: in one go.
- 3:38Speaker 5: You know, well, we once planted because I think reddish
- 3:41Speaker 5: is the easiest things like planting carrots.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Right, we did that.
- 3:45Speaker 5: There was a lot of reddish offered it on the
- 3:47Speaker 5: neighborhood group. Nobody came because they all have their own
- 3:49Speaker 5: reddish going because reddish is polarizing. But we do have
- 3:53Speaker 5: an ever tree that gives us evers, which is great.
- 3:56Speaker 5: What Yeah, not as often as we'd.
- 3:58Speaker 6: Like, but yeah, yeah, I've got a colleague just to
- 4:00Speaker 6: speek on Monday, Neil.
- 4:01Speaker 1: You want to Neil if you're up.
- 4:03Speaker 6: Came and walked into the office with lemons two weeks
- 4:06Speaker 6: ago or three weeks ago, let's say he arrived at
- 4:09Speaker 6: work with the bag of evls and he was like,
- 4:12Speaker 6: doesay you're not evres? These are the leftovers. I think
- 4:15Speaker 6: there was something else. Every month he's got something from
- 4:18Speaker 6: his garden that he actually he's got so much that
- 4:21Speaker 6: he actually actually has to give it away.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Who's growing cherries?
- 4:24Speaker 1: Is that what you want? Cherries?
- 4:28Speaker 2: That's what I want? I want cherries, those big.
- 4:30Speaker 3: Ones I wonder if I wonder if you can grow them.
- 4:32Speaker 3: I've never seen someone grow them.
- 4:34Speaker 2: What are you growing? And to Frankie's point, is it
- 4:37Speaker 2: really sustaining you? Is it really feeding you? I mean,
- 4:41Speaker 2: are you the type of person doesn't have to go
- 4:42Speaker 2: to a fruit and vege, He doesn't have to go
- 4:44Speaker 2: to willis it doesn't have to go anywhere because all
- 4:46Speaker 2: of your fruit and all of your vig you're getting
- 4:49Speaker 2: in your house. This is your moment. You've been bragging
- 4:52Speaker 2: to your colleagues for years now. Oh we have our
- 4:55Speaker 2: own carrots. Oh, we have our own we have a
- 4:58Speaker 2: little garden. We're gonna go off it's a grid any day. Now.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Well, this is the thing.
- 5:02Speaker 3: You're growing radishes and carrots, but you're not growing anything else.
- 5:05Speaker 3: So you're still going to the shop to buy the
- 5:07Speaker 3: millise because you can't you're not growing that at home.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Also, you're looking for somebody who's gone full blow.
- 5:11Speaker 3: Oh no, I'm just saying that if you, if you've
- 5:13Speaker 3: got a little garden in your backyard, are you actually
- 5:16Speaker 3: eating all the stuff that comes out of there.
- 5:17Speaker 6: Fastest way to get kicked out of an estate or
- 5:19Speaker 6: a complex is stop growing millise.
- 5:22Speaker 2: Have you seen those things. Oh one one eight eight
- 5:25Speaker 2: thirty eight ninety four seven. You're getting us on zero
- 5:28Speaker 2: eight four double zero double zero nine four seven. If
- 5:30Speaker 2: you're sending us a what's up? What are you growing?
- 5:33Speaker 2: What food and virgil you growing in your garden? Is
- 5:35Speaker 2: it sustaining you? How many people are you feeding with it?
- 5:38Speaker 2: How many families are waiting for Tracy's lemons?
- 5:42Speaker 1: Or are you just attracting the rats? Is that? Is
- 5:45Speaker 1: that actually what you're doing.
- 5:46Speaker 2: There's another thing.
- 5:47Speaker 7: My granny's eighty seven and she has two huge trees
- 5:52Speaker 7: of curry leaves, and the whole of the community comes
- 5:57Speaker 7: and gets curry leaves from her trees.
- 6:00Speaker 2: I've got my own peppers, my own onions, and my
- 6:03Speaker 2: own carrots. Oh it was good not.
- 6:06Speaker 7: Having to pay for a pack of robot peppers because
- 6:09Speaker 7: I just take them from my garden. But one stage
- 6:11Speaker 7: I was growing a whole bunch of fage and stuff
- 6:14Speaker 7: and it was feeding more than my family.
- 6:17Speaker 1: But the problem is.
- 6:18Speaker 2: It costs so much, with the.
- 6:19Speaker 8: Aphids and the snails and so much effort.
- 6:22Speaker 9: I was like, I just eventually planted roses there and
- 6:26Speaker 9: I just get myself from Willies.
- 6:29Speaker 3: Yeah, because now you've got to look after the fruits
- 6:31Speaker 3: and the beige, and you got to make sure that
- 6:33Speaker 3: they don't have pastes on.
- 6:34Speaker 2: There because food and bedge makes money from it, so
- 6:37Speaker 2: they've got an entire counting system around what cost what
- 6:40Speaker 2: and what the margins are you, ma'am, out of the
- 6:42Speaker 2: goodness of your own heart, planting for the entire community,
- 6:47Speaker 2: do you know what it is? Everyone? Just because there's
- 6:49Speaker 2: another thing about people with vegetable gardens, we on the
- 6:52Speaker 2: other side assume everything is just right for the picking.
- 6:55Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just easy. You plant the seed, you water it,
- 6:58Speaker 3: and then it grows.
- 6:58Speaker 2: No, I don't remember giving anyone money who in turn
- 7:03Speaker 2: gave me a fruit of it.
- 7:06Speaker 3: When you were growing up, Like if someone has got
- 7:09Speaker 3: a fruit garden.
- 7:10Speaker 6: Oh, somebody gives you lemon, because usually when they bring
- 7:12Speaker 6: that stuff to your house work, they're basically begging you
- 7:16Speaker 6: to take it.
- 7:18Speaker 2: Yohan and you in Merton, Good morning morning, How are
- 7:21Speaker 2: you fantastic? How are you?

- 7:37Speaker 10: Wells Alan tomatoes beetroot bolcally that that's Are.

- 7:55Speaker 3: lot of it. There's a lot of age to eat

- 8:32Speaker 2: ever go to the shop to buy vegetables, maybe because
- 8:37Speaker 2: you have what you so wait, let's say you feel
- 8:39Speaker 2: like a potato? Do you buy that because you're not
- 8:41Speaker 2: growing your own?

- 8:47Speaker 10: buttables coming out of my garden.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Tomatoes onions.
- 8:55Speaker 6: I'm sorry. But who plants broccoli over potatoes? The most
- 8:58Speaker 6: popular age in the world. That's a character flow, right.
- 9:04Speaker 2: He also plants cabbage, which is the second most popular
- 9:07Speaker 2: verstable in the world. Okay, and your hand, is this

- 9:48Speaker 12: I've got a very Portuguese mother in law from Madera
- 9:51Speaker 12: and she grows everything in her veg patch. Her cabbages
- 9:56Speaker 12: are the biggest cabbages I have ever seen in my life.
- 9:58Speaker 12: And the fruits, I mean, there's that I've never ever
- 10:01Speaker 12: seen before in South Africa, like this cussid pay thing
- 10:05Speaker 12: that looks a bit like a dragon egg.
- 10:06Speaker 8: So what happened with me is that I took cucumber
- 10:09Speaker 8: seeds and then I, you know, try the seed out,
- 10:13Speaker 8: put it under cotton wool in a container by the window.
- 10:15Speaker 8: Still once the little seedlings started sprouting, and then planted
- 10:19Speaker 8: it into the ground, and I kid you not, tomatoes
- 10:23Speaker 8: grew from it.
- 10:24Speaker 9: We have six avocado trees and they all give us fruit.
- 10:28Speaker 9: So my husband and I have avocado without donner every
- 10:33Speaker 9: single day of the week.

- 11:21Speaker 13: We also do have ten chickens which we do get
- 11:24Speaker 13: eggs from, and we did have four sheep two days ago,

- 11:42Speaker 2: Yeah. How does the cherry tree work? Is like a
- 11:45Speaker 2: because all of us had those trees in our houses.
- 11:48Speaker 2: The one that used to make everything dirty many if
- 11:50Speaker 2: it was the.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Ground mouwberry mowberry.

- 12:48Speaker 13: We do buy our normal vegetables, we have started growing
- 12:51Speaker 13: other things like tomatoes and potatoes, so we are trying
- 12:55Speaker 13: to then sustain ourselves with what we are able to grow,
- 12:58Speaker 13: but we can buy the other thing. What's really nice
- 13:01Speaker 13: the kids are able to actually pick like the maulberries
- 13:04Speaker 13: and the peachers that eat directly from the tree.

- 14:00Speaker 1: They are amazing.
- 14:01Speaker 3: When I grew up, we had a vine of Candadilla's
- 14:04Speaker 3: in our backyard. It just is so much effort to
- 14:08Speaker 3: eat the fruit because you have to cut it open
- 14:11Speaker 3: and then it's like one teaspoon scoop.
- 14:13Speaker 11: Right, yeah, but we had so many you could there
- 14:17Speaker 11: was abundance of it.
