Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to the Jonesy and Demanda podcast. It's time
once again for Amanda's evening scroll. These are a couple
of the stories I've just found in the last few days.
What about this In Japan, there's a new kind of
bar that's drawing attention for flipping workplace culture on its head.
The drinks are free, but it's a bar specifically designed
(00:21):
for people who considering quitting their jobs. So people go there,
they can winge, they can moan, they can talk about
their long working hours, they can normalize striving for better
work life balance. Who want to go there with a
bunch of winges? Yeah, but you're getting free drinks, getting
free drinks. Much of the person's working there going oh
my god, let me complain for again, talking about that
(00:41):
guy whatever. She can't remember his name. He's just too hunky.
Oh she's never said that. What about this story? When
male and female anglerfish mate? Now these anglerfish? Have you seen? These?
These are the fish that live their microscopic Are they
really deep? But they're very very deep in the ocean,
so there's no light. What about fish with the light bulb?
That's weird, isn't it advertising itself? Oh, the doctor's in.
(01:05):
But they've got those big chomping jaws. They're terrifying looking,
but they're tiny. That's anglerfish. So because it's very half
of them to find each other in the deep deep waters.
When male and female anglerfish mate, they have to take
advantage of finding each other. They melt into each other
and share bodies forever. It's the male who goes looking
for love, and what they do is once the male
(01:28):
finds a suitable mate, he bites into her belly, latches
on until his body fuses with hers. Their skin joins together.
Listen to this lovely music behind this as to their
blood vessels, allows the male to take all the nutrients
bad a bit right that he needs from his host's blood.
The two fish essentially become one. The body parts that
(01:48):
he doesn't need anymore. His eyes is fins, some internal organs.
They atrophy and they wither away, so he's little more
than a lump of flesh. Become one from the female.
They become one, so clingy. It did be nice at
the beginning of the relationship. Well, this is romantic. About
a week and come on, give me the scamp and
missus scamp. They're traveling around Australia as he lost himself
(02:12):
at our place before they left, and his disregarding is
getting rid of all the organs he doesn't need, including
his reproductive organs. All right, how about this one to
round up with. This just happened recently in a French hospital. Oh,
here's the headline for you. The hospital evacuated as man
found to have World War One artillery shell in his rectum,
an unexploded one. So what happened? On Saturday? A bomb
(02:34):
disposal expert was called in to a unit in to lose.
He had a lot to lose and discovered an eight
inch long ordnance while performing surgery. So he's a twenty
four year old man. He came to the hospital of
this sentence appeals to me. He had inserted the item
into his backside, according to reports, but it's unclear how
he sourced the munitions or the circumstances surrounding its insertion.
(02:58):
But he didn't tell medical staff what it was. He
was in agony. He was admitted to hospital, didn't say
what it was. It's only during surgery did the medics
discover that the item he'd inserted into his rectum was
an unexploded ordinance dating back to nineteen eighteen. It's an
old date near date. I've had explosive bowel moments, but
not that bad. It's quite the cashierut. You got him, mate,
(03:21):
And if you have a helmet, go to bed. I
will tune in again for another exciting edition of Amanda's
Evening Scroll.
