Speaker 5: It means South African doesn't.
1:39
Speaker 4: Know you're saying a kiwi. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I would
1:43
Speaker 4: have thought. I love how I say it. Then I
1:45
Speaker 4: go offensive. I wouldn't say it would be offensive.
1:52
Speaker 5: Don't tell me it's fensive.
1:54
Speaker 6: We'll read it here. This person doesn't doesn't think it's offensive.
1:58
Speaker 5: I'm sure it's just short for Africa.
2:00
Speaker 6: Yeah, as older people may be offended if they're called that.
2:05
Speaker 3: It's according to everyone's someone's going to be offended somewhere,

Speaker 3: but generally speaking, we're not.
2:11
Speaker 4: We're not playing in dangerous territory.
2:13
Speaker 3: What's the what's what's a great South African dish that
2:17
Speaker 3: you've tried?
2:18
Speaker 4: Well, they are.
2:19
Speaker 3: Nailing that that we wouldn't have had here, and.
2:23
Speaker 5: Try to think, yeah, I'm trying to think of the
2:26
Speaker 5: CON's word for it. Basically, they what is it called?
2:30
Speaker 1: They make like half a loaf of white bread, right,
2:33
Speaker 1: and then you hollow it out and you put.
2:35
Speaker 5: Like a curry in it called yeah sounds nice.
2:40
Speaker 1: Fi cook which is like like a fried ball of
2:44
Speaker 1: dough and then you stuff it with mint.
2:46
Speaker 4: Wh Yeah, yeah nice. They bloody love their meats over there,
2:51
Speaker 4: don't they. Br brie? Is that a big barbecue? Yeah?
2:57
Speaker 1: But usually over like a coal not you know, like
3:00
Speaker 1: a gas takes ages because they build the fire and
3:04
Speaker 1: then you gotta let it cook down, so it's just
3:05
Speaker 1: colds and it's heat.
3:06
Speaker 5: And me and my husband always like, god, this takes river.
3:08
Speaker 5: Just fire on the got a gas barbecue, but it
3:12
Speaker 5: doesn't taste.
3:12
Speaker 6: That's probably one of those things that you.
3:14
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're like the flame grill situation.
3:18
Speaker 6: Delici people that were by the web of people that
3:20
Speaker 6: I love that.
3:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, you with a person know it with a jump
3:24
Speaker 4: back from that was a river.
3:27
Speaker 6: I've got a nice We've got a nicer barbecue than
3:29
Speaker 6: the the jump back was fine. But we've got a
3:31
Speaker 6: nice but not a web, but.
3:32
Speaker 5: One we're not allowed to use the web, but that
3:34
Speaker 5: we have to make a fire.
3:36
Speaker 6: That one's got a blue like sort of a teal
3:38
Speaker 6: roof on that like a lit and my wife that
3:41
Speaker 6: was once she wanted and the guy in the store
3:43
Speaker 6: was like, there was an orange one and he was like,
3:45
Speaker 6: gonna give it to us as a discount. I'm like,
3:47
Speaker 6: you take this, I don't know, I really like the
3:50
Speaker 6: teal color and gave and just get on the teer
3:56
Speaker 6: one because it wasn't the Nevin still.
3:57
Speaker 1: But it was all blacks are more expensive than the
4:00
Speaker 1: ones that have.
4:00
Speaker 5: Like a white little with ever.
4:03
Speaker 6: Yeah, Jesus, we paid. We're going to put it under
4:05
Speaker 6: a barbecue cover for nine months of the year.
4:09
Speaker 4: We're worried about it. Yeah, what is the weather a
4:12
Speaker 4: better meat?
4:13
Speaker 3: Like if you cook a sag on a webber compared
4:15
Speaker 3: to a jump buck, and you notice the.
4:17
Speaker 6: Web so you can do the coals and stuff. So
4:19
Speaker 6: people that love Yeah, people pizzas on it of my
4:22
Speaker 6: cock's amazing pizzas on it.
4:24
Speaker 4: Pizzas as well.
4:25
Speaker 6: Then they have electric ones as well, so electric when
4:31
Speaker 6: you put a check it up as button up chickens
4:34
Speaker 6: and then check it on the.
4:35
Speaker 5: Things, it all tastes the same to me.
4:37
Speaker 3: Yeah. My dad he didn't ever web it, but I
4:39
Speaker 3: remember distinctly remember growing up he had this thing like
4:42
Speaker 3: shape like a weather Webber.
4:44
Speaker 4: But boy, just.
4:45
Speaker 3: Plumes of smoke just covering the neighborhood. Like you look,
4:49
Speaker 3: the poor neighbors, like they you know, the smell of smoke.
4:51
Speaker 4: Smoke.
4:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, they would have like the hold, their clothes would
4:54
Speaker 3: have stunk. But he loves he loves a smoky barbecue.
4:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, we lived down from like a I'm going to
5:00
Speaker 1: say who they are because it's all complimentary from Hallatowel
5:03
Speaker 1: Brewery and they do like wood fired pizzas and like
5:06
Speaker 1: a lot of like barbecue meats man with the winds
5:09
Speaker 1: hitting it right that time of the night, you're like.
5:11
Speaker 5: Oh god, it sounds good.
5:13
Speaker 4: Do you go there a lot?
5:16
Speaker 1: It's like walking distance you should go from, or like
5:20
Speaker 1: Sundays ago and like a scrub Sea should never do.
5:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, strawbry pecking on you know a summer and then
5:26
Speaker 6: you go to Burrow. It's great.
5:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes you don't even just go to the places
5:30
Speaker 3: in your own backyard.
5:30
Speaker 5: Dear, literally walking distance.
5:33
Speaker 3: Okay, So this is Elon Musk Audio took a dog
5:35
Speaker 3: leaguere was South African.
5:36
Speaker 4: Sorry my fault. This is what we played. Your need
5:40
Speaker 4: to say anything before?
5:41
Speaker 5: This is why I love him because he's so random.
5:44
Speaker 1: This is him talking about eels and where they come from.
5:47
Speaker 7: So did you know that eels are the only animals
5:50
Speaker 7: in the world that we have no idea where they
5:52
Speaker 7: came from, like the weird fish in the oceans, scientists
5:57
Speaker 7: have done like observations of them, and eels during a
6:01
Speaker 7: specific time in the year, regardless of where they are,
6:04
Speaker 7: will literally all travel to the Bermuda triangle and that's
6:09
Speaker 7: where they link up, no matter where they are from Europe,
6:14
Speaker 7: the freshwater rivers of the United States. When it's time
6:17
Speaker 7: to mate, they just all go to the Bermuda triangle.
6:20
Speaker 7: And it's dangerous for scientists to study them, so it's
6:22
Speaker 7: a bit hot. So we don't really know where they
6:24
Speaker 7: originate from. And the females and males have no reproductive organs,
6:29
Speaker 7: so like how do they reproduce? Also, they did a
6:31
Speaker 7: test where they put the eels inside a bucket. Then
6:34
Speaker 7: when it was time to mate, they all swam in
6:37
Speaker 7: the direction of the Bermuda triangle. You know how people
6:41
Speaker 7: have speculated like octopuses being aliens, right, people think eels
6:46
Speaker 7: also might not be from here. And then the theory
6:49
Speaker 7: goes on to claim that there was a meteor that
6:51
Speaker 7: crashed in the Bermuda Triangle and allegedly crashed sixty five
6:56
Speaker 7: million years ago, coincidentally, when the dinosaurs were gone.
7:03
Speaker 3: What now, are you sure that it's not bloody Ai
7:06
Speaker 3: doing Elon Musk's voice about the and now I need
7:09
Speaker 3: to ask his questions because I've fallen into the trap.
7:11
Speaker 5: So I have done light research.
7:13
Speaker 1: Okay that that video has been reproduced multiple times, and
7:17
Speaker 1: I've seen new stories about Elon talking about it, and
7:19
Speaker 1: I don't imagine that he would relay information that wasn't.
7:24
Speaker 3: He knows what he's on about. He knows what he's
7:25
Speaker 3: on about. Yeah, he will take a quick break from
7:28
Speaker 3: the world. We're but back after this. Welcome back. So
7:34
Speaker 3: the New Zealand eels and the Waikato River at one
7:38
Speaker 3: point this year are going to make their way to
7:39
Speaker 3: the Bermuda Triangle to mate.
7:41
Speaker 4: I was just looking up at that.
7:42
Speaker 6: So I'm looking at the government where website doc and
7:45
Speaker 6: so there's some information on eels for New Zealand. Yeah,
7:48
Speaker 6: so saying eel's, especially at the end of it. Eel's
7:50
Speaker 6: can live up to one hundred years and I breed
7:52
Speaker 6: only once at the end of their lives. It's quite interesting,
7:56
Speaker 6: but in order to breed, they undergo mass spawning migrations,
7:59
Speaker 6: leaving the familiary of lakes and rivers and swim all
8:01
Speaker 6: the way up to the subtropical Pacific Ocean. Now is
8:04
Speaker 6: that where or do they go to another spot around
8:09
Speaker 6: the side of the world because Europe this is an
8:10
Speaker 6: online Europe and American eels go to the Bermuda Triangle?
8:14
Speaker 1: Where do eels swim to to mate?
8:17
Speaker 3: So the other thing is, we've got a friend whose
8:21
Speaker 3: brother works a neil from they can't.
8:25
Speaker 5: But then how do they how do they reproduce them?
8:27
Speaker 4: So no one knows how they reproduce.
8:29
Speaker 1: We don't have any reproductive organs. Where are they getting
8:32
Speaker 1: the eels from? There's a lot of questions. But so
8:37
Speaker 1: the idea of the Bermuda Triangle is there's been lots
8:40
Speaker 1: of unexplained like crashes, right planes, and.
8:42
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think, sorry, I don't think our eels
8:44
Speaker 6: go to the Bermuda Triangle from quicklock, Okay, but they
8:48
Speaker 6: still go to deep waters.
8:49
Speaker 4: So yeah, they go somewhere.
8:50
Speaker 6: Yeah, they go somewhere in migration to mate. Sorry.
8:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that what they go to the deep caves
8:55
Speaker 4: of the ocean.
8:55
Speaker 1: And says here it says no matter where they are,
8:58
Speaker 1: they will all travel to the Bermuda tra angle.
9:00
Speaker 5: Is that not true? Maybe that is the TikTok stories.
9:04
Speaker 5: Why don't we know where eels come from?
9:06
Speaker 6: Oh God, they're discussing the mood of triangles in the
9:09
Speaker 6: Atlantic Ocean according to this, and we're now saying our
9:12
Speaker 6: ones go the Pacific Ocean.
9:14
Speaker 4: So I don't know.
9:15
Speaker 6: But anyway, then they weren't even mating the rivers and stuff.
9:18
Speaker 3: They're going, well, yeah, it's a big journey too for
9:21
Speaker 3: an eel to make its way from the River and
9:24
Speaker 3: Thames all the way.
9:26
Speaker 6: At one hundred years, like Joe Biden.
9:30
Speaker 3: So every eel in the world goes to a location.
9:34
Speaker 4: Is that what they're saying?
9:35
Speaker 6: They all go out to when they decide to reproduce.
9:39
Speaker 4: There's a point there. There's no eels in New Zealand.
9:41
Speaker 4: They've all just gone. No.
9:42
Speaker 6: But I think it must be at the stage of
9:44
Speaker 6: their life, so it must be when they're like even
9:46
Speaker 6: our buddy, even our.
9:48
Speaker 4: Eels are going off shore.
9:49
Speaker 3: All the good things from New Zealand a going off shore,
9:51
Speaker 3: bitter cost of living overseas, more opportunities overseas, even for
9:57
Speaker 3: the eels. Yeah, yeah, I've got a big fear of eels. God,
10:03
Speaker 3: he put me in a tank with them.
10:05
Speaker 5: It was amare Did it make it better or worse?
10:07
Speaker 5: That picture that I just showed you.
10:09
Speaker 4: Oh the eel eating its way out of a bird.
10:12
Speaker 1: So a bird had caught an eel and was flying,
10:14
Speaker 1: but then the earl was not like not today, and
10:18
Speaker 1: you can see it hanging out of the bird's neck.
10:20
Speaker 1: He had eaten and hit its way out. Neither of
10:23
Speaker 1: them survived, though, because I think the eel fell to
10:27
Speaker 1: the ground.
10:29
Speaker 4: A big drop for that eel too.
10:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why eels are a nasty, disgusting creature.
10:34
Speaker 3: Only in fact don't know about eels is a letsh
10:36
Speaker 3: onto your penis and death roll it off.
10:38
Speaker 1: Jesus, Oh my god, that's what were you.
10:43
Speaker 5: You weren't naked though, right.
10:44
Speaker 3: No, I wore two piers because I heard two peers
10:48
Speaker 3: of dogs because no, no, no, but they did. Look
10:55
Speaker 3: the guy we were talking about her at the eel farm,
10:57
Speaker 3: he's a friend's brother of ours. He told me that
11:01
Speaker 3: he told me the eel fed and you said they
11:03
Speaker 3: can suck onto your fingers, and she said.
11:06
Speaker 4: They can be quite aggressive. Yeah, because they've got their
11:09
Speaker 4: back up.
11:09
Speaker 6: Imagine, so if you probably stand on them accidentally or
11:12
Speaker 6: something like that, they're probably gonna latch out.
11:14
Speaker 4: They never tried el smoke deal.
11:19
Speaker 6: All right. There was a lot of meat to it.
11:22
Speaker 5: I quite like.
11:23
Speaker 1: Eating like a chicken neck, so I imagine a similar
11:26
Speaker 1: to that, right.
11:27
Speaker 3: But you look, you look at a lot of the
11:29
Speaker 3: ocean's creatures. They are very alien like. You know, there's
11:33
Speaker 3: this fish, undiscovered fish that are deep deep deep Marianna Trench,
11:38
Speaker 3: deep part of the ocean that they haven't scientists haven't
11:41
Speaker 3: even seen yet.
11:42
Speaker 4: They're just living down on the dark.
11:44
Speaker 2: You know.
11:44
Speaker 1: Every now and then, like a giant squared or some
11:46
Speaker 1: like unknown giant like floppy fish washes up on shore
11:50
Speaker 1: and everyone's like, hmm, where'd.
11:52
Speaker 5: You come from?
11:53
Speaker 6: Quite alien like freaky if you're down there, like angler fish.
11:58
Speaker 5: Have you seen those things? What's that with the little
12:00
Speaker 5: are they the ones they have the little light on? Y?
12:08
Speaker 6: Yeah, they kind of look like kind of piranhas.
12:12
Speaker 5: I think that's just the tip of the deep ocean.
12:15
Speaker 3: Absolutely, because you can't get they can't get deep enough
12:17
Speaker 3: to even research.
12:20
Speaker 1: And if that's an indication of what's down there, don't
12:22
Speaker 1: you don't want to know.
12:24
Speaker 5: That's why I'm like, swimming in the ocean. Oh you're
12:27
Speaker 5: not an ocean swimmer, not really.
12:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, I get it.
12:31
Speaker 1: I get it, especially when they're like, hey, it's getting warmer,
12:34
Speaker 1: sharks and stuff gonna swim around.
12:37
Speaker 3: There are some frightening looking fish down the bottom. You
12:39
Speaker 3: know this is this is not even in the depths
12:42
Speaker 3: that thing. Yeah, yeah, and they all look a bit
12:44
Speaker 3: aggressive because I imagine if you can't see what you're
12:46
Speaker 3: doing down there, you want to.
12:47
Speaker 1: Have Yeah that's nasty, yeah, google.
12:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, crazy you But you like swimming the ocean bed,
12:57
Speaker 3: don't mind.
12:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not like I'm not deep sea diving or
13:01
Speaker 6: anything like that, though.
13:02
Speaker 1: I like like going on the back of a boat,
13:05
Speaker 1: like wakeboarding or going on a biscuit. But then you
13:09
Speaker 1: eventually fall off, right and the boat's got to come
13:12
Speaker 1: back and get you.
13:13
Speaker 5: That's the most traumatic.
13:15
Speaker 1: He leaves a dangling you look down at it, it's dark,
13:17
Speaker 1: and then something brushes past your league.
13:19
Speaker 6: I'm like, oh god, yeah, no, I agreed, but yeah,
13:23
Speaker 6: that's the worst part.
13:24
Speaker 4: I understand that.
13:25
Speaker 6: But you imagine, like how I kind of think of
13:27
Speaker 6: that time. You know, you're not actually there for that long.
13:29
Speaker 6: Surely for someone to swim up from the one.
13:31
Speaker 5: Does it take for a shark to bite me in half?
13:33
Speaker 6: Oh, you're not long, but he's not.
13:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love those leigeons.
13:37
Speaker 3: Or like, I just fought the shark mate, you know. Yeah,
13:40
Speaker 3: every now and then it pops up on the news.
13:42
Speaker 3: You thought, tussled around and it punched it in the face.
13:45
Speaker 3: I'm not thinking about.
13:46
Speaker 4: That coming at me.
13:48
Speaker 3: I would be useless, so I'd just be like, tell
13:50
Speaker 3: I guess it's Helldian, You're terrible way to go.
13:55
Speaker 4: Yeah. We spoke to a guy. Oh, he's betting the
13:57
Speaker 4: film for an oar or something. Was he surfing or.
14:01
Speaker 6: A shark? Yeah, there was something he was.
14:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's like, you know what.
14:05
Speaker 1: You know, I like to think that the pain would
14:08
Speaker 1: be so great you wouldn't feel it, you know, yeah, before.
14:12
Speaker 4: You felt anything.
14:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, grim.
14:16
Speaker 3: But the actually I imagine they said, Well, they do
14:19
Speaker 3: say that your chance of hearing car accidents is far
14:22
Speaker 3: more likely than being attacked.
14:23
Speaker 4: By a shark in the ocean. You're probably right, but
14:25
Speaker 4: the stats.
14:25
Speaker 5: Are very true.
14:26
Speaker 1: You're not someone that no, I do like I would
14:30
Speaker 1: only sleep in the swim in the shallows, right, But
14:33
Speaker 1: it's more when I'm out on like a biscuit or
14:35
Speaker 1: anything and people try and flip you off, and like,
14:37
Speaker 1: do not flip me off?
14:38
Speaker 6: Oh really?
14:38
Speaker 5: So I don't want to dangle in the ocean if
14:41
Speaker 5: you just.
14:41
Speaker 6: Momentially you wouldn't swim, So you wouldn't swim across one.
14:43
Speaker 1: Point shit no quite God, no, don't get any ideas.
14:51
Speaker 3: Your chance of being attacked and killed by a shark
14:54
Speaker 3: are one and three point seventy five million.
14:57
Speaker 4: Jeez, so nothing to worry about me.
15:00
Speaker 1: I was on a jet ski once near Waiki Island
15:02
Speaker 1: in Auckland and there was at least like six hammerhead
15:07
Speaker 1: sharks that were swimming underneath us.
15:09
Speaker 5: And I know I don't think they attack.
15:10
