Richie podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
A bolt of lightning going through your body. You can't
even imagine it, can you. We spoke to Karli Electric
a couple of weeks ago. Remember that was that her
legitimate name? I actually that's a funny one. I've just
only just clicked for me. Is her name Krli Electric?

Speaker 1 (00:17):
You're kidding me?

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Well? This is what she said. These were the effects
that she had when she was struck by lightning.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Within maybe fifteen minutes, I started feeling really nauseous. I
started having like full body goosebumps, and I felt really euphoric.
I felt floaty. My pupils were so dilated. So I
used to have hazel green eyes and now I have
dark brown eyes. It's one of the kind of lasting
things she.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Was that age. Isn't it changed eye color?

Speaker 1 (00:48):
My god?

Speaker 2 (00:48):
I mean, if you're not happy with your eye color,
I suppose you could probably stand on a golf course
with a threewood over your head when the storm goes over.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
And hope for the butt.

Speaker 2 (00:56):

our bloom commode, great name, awesome name, So this was
at two thirty in the morning. This is quite a
humorous She's with her dad. She was at home. She
was on TikTok. Have he listened to what happened.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
So I was laying in my room and it was
about like two thirty something like. It was pretty late,
and I heard this big bang and I didn't really
think of anything of it, and I was about to
go to bed, so I put my phone on charge
and I'm just watching TikTok on my bed, and then
this big bang and everything went white and my whole
body started shaking. Everything was exploding, and then because I

(01:36):
had my phone in my hands, the electric current went
into me and my whole arm went numb. And then
I ran upstairs. I was like, I can't feel my arm.
I can't, Like the house is on fire. Helped me. Yeah,
So the roof caved in, and then my bed, like
my blanket was on fire, inside of my bed was
on fire, and all the ports had come out and exploded,
so everything was like flaming up and stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
She's feeling energized.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
I am feeling it was pretty shocking.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Dad's having a bit of a laugh. They've obviously come
up with that joke before the news service rocked up.
So we're trying to work out, bloom, where did that
bolt of lightning pass through your body?

Speaker 4 (02:15):
It entered from my bone into my arm, and then
it exited out my leg. I literally came out of my.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Butt, so went in through your arm, and I suppose
just legs apart and bang the bolt came flying out.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
It's amazing. She and she's hoping, I mean, she hasn't
any had any lasting effects afterwards, but she's hoping to
get some I.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Want superpowers, and if I don't get them, that's going
to be sad. But I'm going to go get a
lot of ticket and see what happens.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Hasn't changed your eye color?

Speaker 2 (02:48):
No, it hasn't. Hailey's given us a call from men.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
I highly Hi, guys, how are you.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
You ever mede struck by lightning?

Speaker 5 (02:56):
Have you? Well? I've been in two separate houses that
have been struck by lightning, so that amazing. Both times.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, the sound of the bang must have been unbelievably.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
Deafening, so loud, it was so so loud. That was
the first thing. Well, because the first time was I
was only about eight or nine years old. So it
was a little while ago now, guys, But yeah, that
was what I really remember was the bang. And we
were living overseas at the time and my grandparents were visiting.

(03:26):
My Pa was having a nap on the lounge, you know,
like they do in the day, and he fell off
the lounge. So that was but he was all right,
So that was That was good. And then the second
time was actually the night before my wedding and there

(03:47):
was a massive storm and I was watching TV. My
sister was sitting at the computer writing her speech, and
again there was a massive bang. Everything went pitch for
we lost power at the same time, and the computer
screen literally blew up in front of her.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Hailey, can I just say, I'm sorry to say this,
but that that's a sign for me that you weren't
supposed to get married.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
Are you still with it five years later?

Speaker 2 (04:27):
But did you did you feel spaced out or anything?

Speaker 5 (04:29):
Hailey?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Was there a moment where you sort of didn't know
what was going on?

Speaker 5 (04:33):
Remember feeling spaced out? I just remember thinking, oh my gosh,
what happened? And then you know, like all of a sudden,
it just clicked and we realized at the same time.
But yeah, but it was my sister and I both
times together when it happened, and in both houses, and
nobody else was you know, that was in either house,

(04:56):
that at either time, we were in both houses.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Lucky you had the second strike, because if you've caught
a radio station saying that a lightning strike Grandpa fell.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
Off the couch, it would have been a little bit.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Disappointing, Harley. So the second one made up for it.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
I suppose Metallica had a great song Hailey called Ride
the Lightning. I mean, you didn't do that the next
night on your wedding night, did you.
