Speaker 2 (00:31):
On the cutting room floor? Today? It's all about Calvin Harris.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Calvin Harris. This is Calvin Harris. He is a singer
song out of producer d J.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Well, I'm a DJ, not a very creative one.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
I don't think Calvin does time palls. Then why don't
you just due?

Speaker 1 (00:57):
And it's like someone who stands in front of wild
famous painting paintings and says, I can do.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
That, Oh I can do that? Why why where's my
ticket tape parade? That's him and Katie Katie who Katy Perry.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Anyway, Calvin Harris, he.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Has had a baby, His wife's had a baby just recently.
His name is Vicky or Vick. She's a I think
she's on BBC one radio. He's a DJ, well, old
school DJ. I think if you're going to talk about
her being an on air radio personality.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Maybe she should say it's six twenty six. He is
John Farner.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Maybe she should then she'd be as cool as you.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
But they've had a baby, and he there's a series
of photos have been released, the first of him sitting
on a couch holding this little baby, this newborn. It's beautiful,
and he said, twentieth of July, our boy arrived. Micah
is here. My wife is a superhero. I'm in complete
awe of her primal wisdom. We're just so grateful, Love

(02:04):
you so much, Micah. Beautiful first dad stuff.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
But there's a.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Four five other photos. That's the only one of the
actual baby. Yeah, there's another photo of his wife. You
can't see really what's going on, but you see a
baby's head being born in.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
A blow up pool.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
She had a home birth.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, so the baby's emerging in a blow up pool.
The next one, and people have been confronted by this
because they said I saw it without warning. There should
be an age restriction, and in fact they've now put
age restrictions on this photos. It's just a giant close
up of the Placenterah.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah, And then.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
The next one are bits of the placenter chopped up
like bits of sausage in what looks like an air fryer,
not an air fryer, and a.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Dehydrator mushroom lady, anyone.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
This is where we've all heard about the dehydrator. So
there's a placenta, an air dryer, dehumidifier, whatever that thing's called.
And then the finished product product, which is him holding
a jar of will look like licorice bullets, but they're
capsules of the dried placenta. They're eating the placenter. I

(03:15):
knew someone years ago who wanted to eat the placenter,
and I thought, why don't you just go to the butcher,
because this seems like a good idea.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
If you've given birth on the nulla ball plane.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
You don't have access to if you're starving today, any iron,
don't have access to any things like this. But I've
been doing some research and this is a big business.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
This is a really big business.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
They're saying that eating the placenta, and I'm sure this
is true, can boost your immunity, help with your bloods,
help with your mental health. Really the global placenta market.
There's a phrase I never thought i'd say.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
But psychologically, I suppose in a way you feel that, oh,
I'm eating this that nurtured.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
My child and now it's nourishing me.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, so maybe there's a bit of a psychosomatic and
also a siebo effect.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
You're swallowing a capsule, you're not eating it like a steak.
The global placenter market was valued at this is American
dollar nearly ninety million dollars in twenty twenty five. It's
projected to reach US dollars nearly one hundred million by
twenty thirty three. It's been growing at a huge rate,
so it's interesting. There's a whole lot of placenta derived

(04:23):
product products, people make artworks out of them, stem cell therapies,
regenerative medicines, a lot of stuff that medically is going
to come from this. But what you can do, even Australia,
if this is quite a big business, you can arrange
this beforehand. You pay money for when you know you're
giving birth. For the hospital, the midwives know that this

(04:46):
is a thing you've set up. The company will come
to the hospital, the midwife will hand over your placenta
and process it and do this for you. So you
don't have to buy the dehydrator, do the capsules, and
buy a capsule machine and hire all the equipment. You
can outsource this and it's a very well run operation.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
What you're pulling a face and le are you getting
your placenta? They tell, well, that's that's fair.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
You know, there are checks and balances, like saying, how
do you know you're getting your own baby at the
end of the day, there are ways to test this
stuff and the hospital would be responsible around this.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
There's a bit of a fervor that goes with when
the baby is born, particularly the first one. I remember
when Morgan, how oldest was born. My wife Helen, thirty
years ago, had a massive placenta.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
How do you know it was massive? Well, because I
was there. I was there, but maybe they're all no.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
The doc said to me. He said, this is a
huge plus center and it was like one point two
kilos of placenta and we both had our.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
Hands and he look at big and look out healthy
that placenta is. And then he told me that you
know you can eat them. There are a lot of
people in certain cultures to eat the placenta.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
And I went, well, you could have chopped that up
for a whole lot of While I like the size
of it, I'm very competitive.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
I would have manted it on the wall or put
it down as a throw rug or something.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Like that it would have been the same size as
the baby.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
It was was bigger than Morgan. A part of me
was thinking, you know, maybe we should leave the kid
behind it.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
And dress this up, dressed this up in a little lash.
But he was a beautiful, beautiful baby.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
You got the perfect apper score, you know, the little
he got. He got all nines, was like he did
a Nadia Common each when he came out. He was
such a beautiful little baby. But that placenta was so huge.
And I remember at the time, this is before social
media and all that junk, I was telling anyone who'd
care to listen about the size of Helen's placenta. You
should have seen the placenta. He was this big, and

(06:41):
in the storytelling it got big like a fisherman.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yeah, and did you mount it above your bar?

Speaker 2 (06:46):
I wanted to put it about I want to turn
into one of that singing you know, instead.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Of really pass singing the songs.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Oh, I don't know. I'm happy to work this out.
You know what would it be?

Speaker 3 (06:59):
Something about blood? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, maybe maybe he's something about blood or providing life.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Murcher. Now that I'm out, Now.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
That I'm out, you know, I'm coming up, so you
better get this party started. You know, these are all
good ideas, So there is a sort of a There
is that further, when you have your first child.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
And when Romany was born, you didn't think about it.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
She came out like a lifeless, dead slug because your
mother had an.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Addiction to not an addiction, had a what on an addiction?

Speaker 2 (07:29):
She had a what do you call it? An allergy
to pethodine, not an addiction to me, and they gave
her the pethodine. Little Rome came out, this little lifeless slug.
They had to give her knah care. That's why they
give the junkies when they take.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Too much help.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Were you tempted to take that percent of home instead
of the blue baby?

Speaker 2 (07:44):
I remember looking at Helen, and Helen didn't look good
because of the aforementioned pethodine. And Romany came out and
I was wondering down the corridors with her and the
guy that was counting down how long she hadn't been
breathing for and he looked at me and said, who
are you as I'm the father, and his attitude instantly changed.
He went from business like doctor to a functory but

(08:07):
at the same type very warm doctor. And so what
we're doing with your daughter now is we're giving her
some nacan. So they injected that into a little foot
into that movie Cocoon. When the old time has touched
people and that little pink glow goes through them, that's
what it was now.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
For all time has touch people are get arrested. I
love our chats.
