You are better to put on a disc, but it

Speaker 3 (01:20):
To put it on your your lap.
Speaker 4 (01:22):

It rains so hard and so sideways that uh rained
on my laptop. Oh yeah and your bed. Well yeah,
my bid can dry a bid out.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
You can't dry a laptop out.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
The end of the laptop into the laptop. Man put
it on rice? So nah, who.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Puts it in rice?
Speaker 6 (02:08):
He puts it in put something like a phone that's
been wearing rice. Puts it on rice, do something like that,
and then put it in the hot water cupboard?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Does do something like that?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
It doesn't work, but how could it work? What would
the rice.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Magic, Yeah, magic rice.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
What could the rice possibly do? It is not touching
the well.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Rice has a special thing in it which heals electronics.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
So you've never done it. Never, never, mister smarty pants,
No did you think that? A.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
I never said I've done it.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I'm asking you've done it. In fact, I remember you
did it because you went on a walk with your
family and missus Ruder had the phone in the pocket.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Not once have I done this? Not once?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Did you think that a person of a specific if
the city, was gonna be attracted by the rice and
then fix your phone?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Is that how you thought it worked?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Magic rice? Magic rice?
Speaker 5 (03:00):
That mate? What did I think I would do? The room?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I heard was that Richard gear put a gerbil.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
That was from the inn laws.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
Actually was that it soaks up the moisture into the
rice and then you can still reuse the rice afterwards.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
The same laws that think that liqua Helima's name is Hecker.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
No comment.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
I mean just the fact that the fact that you
have to drown rice in an insane amount of water
to cook it would seem to indicate that it's not
very absorbent. You know how much water you put in
the thing of rice, you know what I mean? And
then that that would tell me not a real absorbent.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
I tried, man, I tried.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Do you give people that try?
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Do you give them this much ship?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Results driven?
Speaker 5 (03:47):
The result was the phone did not phone.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
No. No, So you didn't put your laptop and rice anyway.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I wouldn't be No. I don't know where you'd get
a tub big enough to fit the leftop in. Yeah,
bucket and a bucket rice.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It's a conspiracy by big Rice. It's just a way
of selling more rice rice. They know that they can
sell more rice if people put their devices.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
That are we because they struggle to shift that they
they do.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
No one needs it, no one needs.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
It, No one needs it. Bloody hell. I mean yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
So the anything they can do this is this is
business in twenty twenty six, isn't It's hard?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I see you wore gum boots this morning.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yeah, geez, you put a pair of gun boots on
in the city and people will lose their minds. It
is the appropriate footwear for By the way, Auckland's drainage
situation such as a.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Terrible is happening with Auckland Dranger. I think it's the
leaves Auckland Glass.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
It is the leaves, That's exactly what it is.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Because I've noticed there are only two people on our
street whoever stopped to clean the leaves out of the drain.
Everyone else is just like there's somebody went out of
the road and then just soak pedestrians on their drive pass.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
But me and one other guy.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It has been a very good patch though, I've got
to say, and I know that because I've been watering.
I've had to water plants. Now, if you had to
water plants, and what is it the twenty sixth, twenty
fourth of June, that means it's dry, That means it's
that's very unusual. Normally May would be a great time
(05:22):
to plant new plants because they've just water themselves. Well,
the sky will water them. But yeah, I've done a
whole lot of new planting and I've had to bloody
water the crap. So that's how I know that it's
been dry, so destraight rain. Actually, I'm saying, good.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
What have you been planting over? There's the plant on
the plant?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
What's your crop?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
A whole heap of crap? Actually, I mean I don't
know where do I start chronologically.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Yeah, most useful.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I don't know the name of it, but some hedging,
Oh yeah, hdging that goes down the side of our
house and also got a sauna and so got rid
of the got rid of the trampoline. And underneath our
tree which is on the way which is on the
way out, which is dying. It's old that instead of
(06:16):
thee Yeah, wow, tree is one of those scheduled trees.
Have you guys got a scheduled trees on your What
does that mean? A schedule tree means that the council
that you can't cut it down.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Yes, oh, that I've got My mate, one of my
mates had he had bought a new house in timm
Roape and there were three cabbage trees in his backyard
and they were right in the middle of the yard
in the lawn. So it was like you almost couldn't
play crocket in the backyard because of where these trees were.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
But they must have been scheduled trees.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
The council knew about them, and they were cabbage trees
that they believed had been used as waypoints or markers
for multi back in the day.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Wow, navigator, that's what the.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Cabbage trees of consequence, cabbage trees of note uh and
cabbage trick stations. And one day he went around to
his dad's place and picked up the electric chainsaw. And
in the next that that morning, he missed a call
from his mum, and he came in and he goes,
have a listen to this, and he plays back the
(07:20):
voicemail and she goes, Hi, Hi, Tim, it's not him,
it's better Hi, Hi, Tim. Your father told me you've
come to pick up the chainsaw this morning. If I
find out you've cut down those trees, if we calling
the council.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Call the council on your kids, fair enough.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
She's gonna ride on him if he cut the things down.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
So he didn't.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Of course he didn't. And now that all the members
of the Timorrow Council have turned off, yeah, of course
he did.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, okay, well there was no evidence that they were.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
There were no other keep trees around.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Also, yeah, I don't know, it's a tree. It's in
your house. So the scheduled tree. Yes, the schedule tree
is dying. But it's a beautiful tree and a care
to do. Go in there and eat the berries to
it's like it's a native bird magnet sectary, and and
(08:21):
there's a whole lot of other trees that go down
that create a green corridor from our place down to
the park and down down our street, and so the
birds kind of work that corridor.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
It's quite nice.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It's good, and it's nice having all the birds and stuff,
heaps of birds in our in our backgard and I
love that.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Tell you're kind of annoying. Sometimes I love them that beautiful.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
But some it's like I got my photos and they
get your bloody hongin.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I see. I don't mind. There's some people don't like
this sound because it's so kind of.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I love it. I never get sick of it. And
I love waking up to it. Some people are like, fucking,
he's waking up. So this particular tree is declining. Now,
it's dying. It's got some disease in its trunk.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
So you've been drilling it and putting poison.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
No, I love the tree. Like if the tree went,
there's a whole lot of houses that would kind of
look into our back gardens. It's a great tree. In
millions of ways.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
You even borrowed your dad's chance. If I find out
you have all the counsel.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
If you want to trim that caunt, you've got to
get a council. You've got to apply to the council,
and you've got to you've got to pay. So it
costs money.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Basically, and then and make a case for yourself.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, past a certain point, so you can trim it
past a certain point, but any more than that and
it does need And then these guys from next door,
these cowboys the so so that's our that's our responsiblit
because it's on our product, on our own property. The
guys from next door about four years ago just turned
up some cowboy barborough that were not really arborists. They
(10:01):
were just butchers and just chopped the whole side of it.
And so ever since then, this is a tree that
needed to be really well looked after because it was
in trouble.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
But was that half over the neighbor's fence. It was
over the but I just butchered it. They just butchered
the entire thing. But because it's a scheduled tree, they're
not really allowed to do that. And I was at
the time, I was.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Like, oh, what do I do about this? I'm like, oh,
those guys, it's like I felt sorry for the guys.
I don't want to want to create a problem with
the neighbor. Oh you know it's illegal, but who cares.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
But like the neighbor probably didn't ask for that, or
maybe they did, and the arboris didn't want to do it.
In a terrible job, somebody's somebody's had to do something
here that they didn't want to do.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, and as a result, though, the next do it,
and the tree really didn't like that. And there's this
environment changed a few times, and so it'll be interesting
to see how it goes because now there's a sauna
under it, so we'll see if it likes that because
you change the environment of the roots around the base,
and the old tree is like that freak out because
they've built themselves over years with root systems to pH
(11:06):
you know the pH because of what's around and they
can't change. And so yeah, it's quite sad actually. But
anyway to actually do anything about the tree, it's you've
got to then you've got to get an arborist that
has to fill out all these forms, and then you've
got it costs all this money.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Blood, resource consent, Yeah, you got to get resource consent.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
It costs all. It costs money to trim your own tree.
You have to pay the count. Like it's on my property,
it's my tree.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Jerry and Manaia joined the conflict the Hardaki Breakfast discussion
group on Facebook. For more Jeremy Wells and the Nias
Stuet find them on Instagram at HDARKI Breakfast.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Why should I pay the count?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
What I did never understood?
Speaker 6 (11:49):
If you destroy your protected tree, yeah, you can be
fined up to two hundred and fifty grand.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
There we go.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
That's what happens with my tree.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
What if someone else destroys Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
What if someone else trims butches it?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
And what does the two undred fifty thousand dollars go?
Do you get that? But what is your tree? Do
you get that?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
What do they come and have a look at the
tree and work out whether it's got some issue? Because
this has got some that's a pity moth or something
that something's happened to it. So it's it's gonna die. Yeah,
but it's it's hanging in there at the stage.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
So that's the sad tale of my tree. So we're
planning new things around the bottom of it anyway and
hopefully that will encourage it to yeah going.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
Yeah, you can trim up to twenty percent of its
canopy and a calendar year. Yeah, that's what some people do.
They're like, there goes twenty percent. Next year, there goes
another twenty percent.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah, I mean, who's counting the twenty percent and who
knows what twenty percent is?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Do you know if you come around and that already
trimmed it, how do you know whether they'd cut twenty
percent or not.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
But the thing is with those trees, you've just got
to be so careful about how you how you trim them.
You trim them at certain points to promote growth and
all that sort of stuff. You chains or those guys,
they just literally it was a lopsided. It just had
like a.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
That's a good point now all the weight's just hanging
off one side of the basket.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Didn't like it. Yeah, poor thing.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
We've got that with a lemon tree that's in a
pot out in the front of our house. It has
it has grown one lemon and we are watching eagerly
every day. I've actually started a rotation policy on that lemon.
I turned the potter around. Oh then try and yellow
up the.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Other side of it.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yeah, how's it going. By the way, my limits are
just about to go. I'm about to pick them.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Yes, yeah, we're about to pick the one lemon. This
is the thing I see people living in town and going, oh,
I'm going to plant some vegies. I want to grow
my own veges. Like, the amount of money and time
you're going to pour into one meal's worth of vegetables
spread over an entire season is so not worth it.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
No, it's so not worth it.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
You say that.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
But Mama Ruda, it's notoriously plants her own vegetables because
she doesn't trust the vegetables that come out of the supermarket.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Don't she.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Got them?
Speaker 6 (14:01):
Yeahicides, cancer causing pesticides.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
She's okay with the vape, isn't she.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Yeah, that's fine, that's fine because she's addicted to that.
She knows what. Yeah, that was the reasoning. I'm addicted
to it, So that's fine. She's not addicted to chemicals
and her vegetables.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
But the vape.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Why doesn't she just get herself addicted to the to
the chemicals and the and she is addicted to it.
I have a lot of money and time.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Yeah, true, but I don't think.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
I don't think she's seen the Facebook video that said yet, hey,
stop eating the vegetables fourteen forty.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
If anyone to jot down when Ruda's traumatic childhood was.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Going to come in, I'll hold that one funny I
could get into an algorithm and fire through some anti
vape videos. Wouldn't like that Satan was an a vape
or something? I reckon it would all right?
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Satan's vapor.
Speaker 1 (14:52):

business in twenty twenty six, isn't It's hard?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I see you wore gum boots this morning.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yeah, geez, you put a pair of gun boots on
in the city and people will lose their minds. It
is the appropriate footwear for By the way, Auckland's drainage
situation such as a.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Terrible is happening with Auckland Dranger. I think it's the
leaves Auckland Glass.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
It is the leaves, That's exactly what it is.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Because I've noticed there are only two people on our
street whoever stopped to clean the leaves out of the drain.
Everyone else is just like there's somebody went out of
the road and then just soak pedestrians on their drive pass.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
But me and one other guy.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It has been a very good patch though, I've got
to say, and I know that because I've been watering.
I've had to water plants. Now, if you had to
water plants, and what is it the twenty sixth, twenty
fourth of June, that means it's dry, That means it's
that's very unusual. Normally May would be a great time
(05:22):
to plant new plants because they've just water themselves. Well,
the sky will water them. But yeah, I've done a
whole lot of new planting and I've had to bloody
water the crap. So that's how I know that it's
been dry, so destraight rain. Actually, I'm saying, good.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
What have you been planting over? There's the plant on
the plant?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
What's your crop?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
A whole heap of crap? Actually, I mean I don't
know where do I start chronologically.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Yeah, most useful.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I don't know the name of it, but some hedging,
Oh yeah, hdging that goes down the side of our
house and also got a sauna and so got rid
of the got rid of the trampoline. And underneath our
tree which is on the way which is on the
way out, which is dying. It's old that instead of
(06:16):
thee Yeah, wow, tree is one of those scheduled trees.
Have you guys got a scheduled trees on your What
does that mean? A schedule tree means that the council
that you can't cut it down.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Yes, oh, that I've got My mate, one of my
mates had he had bought a new house in timm
Roape and there were three cabbage trees in his backyard
and they were right in the middle of the yard
in the lawn. So it was like you almost couldn't
play crocket in the backyard because of where these trees were.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
But they must have been scheduled trees.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
The council knew about them, and they were cabbage trees
that they believed had been used as waypoints or markers
for multi back in the day.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Wow, navigator, that's what the.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Cabbage trees of consequence, cabbage trees of note uh and
cabbage trick stations. And one day he went around to
his dad's place and picked up the electric chainsaw. And
in the next that that morning, he missed a call
from his mum, and he came in and he goes,
have a listen to this, and he plays back the
(07:20):
voicemail and she goes, Hi, Hi, Tim, it's not him,
it's better Hi, Hi, Tim. Your father told me you've
come to pick up the chainsaw this morning. If I
find out you've cut down those trees, if we calling
the council.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Call the council on your kids, fair enough.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
She's gonna ride on him if he cut the things down.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
So he didn't.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Of course he didn't. And now that all the members
of the Timorrow Council have turned off, yeah, of course
he did.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, okay, well there was no evidence that they were.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
There were no other keep trees around.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Also, yeah, I don't know, it's a tree. It's in
your house. So the scheduled tree. Yes, the schedule tree
is dying. But it's a beautiful tree and a care
to do. Go in there and eat the berries to
it's like it's a native bird magnet sectary, and and
(08:21):
there's a whole lot of other trees that go down
that create a green corridor from our place down to
the park and down down our street, and so the
birds kind of work that corridor.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
It's quite nice.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It's good, and it's nice having all the birds and stuff,
heaps of birds in our in our backgard and I
love that.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Tell you're kind of annoying. Sometimes I love them that beautiful.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
But some it's like I got my photos and they
get your bloody hongin.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I see. I don't mind. There's some people don't like
this sound because it's so kind of.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I love it. I never get sick of it. And
I love waking up to it. Some people are like, fucking,
he's waking up. So this particular tree is declining. Now,
it's dying. It's got some disease in its trunk.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
So you've been drilling it and putting poison.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
No, I love the tree. Like if the tree went,
there's a whole lot of houses that would kind of
look into our back gardens. It's a great tree. In
millions of ways.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
You even borrowed your dad's chance. If I find out
you have all the counsel.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
If you want to trim that caunt, you've got to
get a council. You've got to apply to the council,
and you've got to you've got to pay. So it
costs money.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Basically, and then and make a case for yourself.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, past a certain point, so you can trim it
past a certain point, but any more than that and
it does need And then these guys from next door,
these cowboys the so so that's our that's our responsiblit
because it's on our product, on our own property. The
guys from next door about four years ago just turned
up some cowboy barborough that were not really arborists. They
(10:01):
were just butchers and just chopped the whole side of it.
And so ever since then, this is a tree that
needed to be really well looked after because it was
in trouble.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
But was that half over the neighbor's fence. It was
over the but I just butchered it. They just butchered
the entire thing. But because it's a scheduled tree, they're
not really allowed to do that. And I was at
the time, I was.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Like, oh, what do I do about this? I'm like, oh,
those guys, it's like I felt sorry for the guys.
I don't want to want to create a problem with
the neighbor. Oh you know it's illegal, but who cares.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
But like the neighbor probably didn't ask for that, or
maybe they did, and the arboris didn't want to do it.
In a terrible job, somebody's somebody's had to do something
here that they didn't want to do.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, and as a result, though, the next do it,
and the tree really didn't like that. And there's this
environment changed a few times, and so it'll be interesting
to see how it goes because now there's a sauna
under it, so we'll see if it likes that because
you change the environment of the roots around the base,
and the old tree is like that freak out because
they've built themselves over years with root systems to pH
(11:06):
you know the pH because of what's around and they
can't change. And so yeah, it's quite sad actually. But
anyway to actually do anything about the tree, it's you've
got to then you've got to get an arborist that
has to fill out all these forms, and then you've
got it costs all this money.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Blood, resource consent, Yeah, you got to get resource consent.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
It costs all. It costs money to trim your own tree.
You have to pay the count. Like it's on my property,
it's my tree.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Jerry and Manaia joined the conflict the Hardaki Breakfast discussion
group on Facebook. For more Jeremy Wells and the Nias
Stuet find them on Instagram at HDARKI Breakfast.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Why should I pay the count?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
What I did never understood?
Speaker 6 (11:49):
If you destroy your protected tree, yeah, you can be
fined up to two hundred and fifty grand.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
There we go.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
That's what happens with my tree.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
What if someone else destroys Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
What if someone else trims butches it?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
And what does the two undred fifty thousand dollars go?
Do you get that? But what is your tree? Do
you get that?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
What do they come and have a look at the
tree and work out whether it's got some issue? Because
this has got some that's a pity moth or something
that something's happened to it. So it's it's gonna die. Yeah,
but it's it's hanging in there at the stage.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
So that's the sad tale of my tree. So we're
planning new things around the bottom of it anyway and
hopefully that will encourage it to yeah going.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
Yeah, you can trim up to twenty percent of its
canopy and a calendar year. Yeah, that's what some people do.
They're like, there goes twenty percent. Next year, there goes
another twenty percent.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah, I mean, who's counting the twenty percent and who
knows what twenty percent is?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Do you know if you come around and that already
trimmed it, how do you know whether they'd cut twenty
percent or not.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
But the thing is with those trees, you've just got
to be so careful about how you how you trim them.
You trim them at certain points to promote growth and
all that sort of stuff. You chains or those guys,
they just literally it was a lopsided. It just had
like a.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
That's a good point now all the weight's just hanging
off one side of the basket.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Didn't like it. Yeah, poor thing.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
We've got that with a lemon tree that's in a
pot out in the front of our house. It has
it has grown one lemon and we are watching eagerly
every day. I've actually started a rotation policy on that lemon.
I turned the potter around. Oh then try and yellow
up the.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Other side of it.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yeah, how's it going. By the way, my limits are
just about to go. I'm about to pick them.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Yes, yeah, we're about to pick the one lemon. This
is the thing I see people living in town and going, oh,
I'm going to plant some vegies. I want to grow
my own veges. Like, the amount of money and time
you're going to pour into one meal's worth of vegetables
spread over an entire season is so not worth it.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
No, it's so not worth it.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
You say that.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
But Mama Ruda, it's notoriously plants her own vegetables because
she doesn't trust the vegetables that come out of the supermarket.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Don't she.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Got them?
Speaker 6 (14:01):
Yeahicides, cancer causing pesticides.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
She's okay with the vape, isn't she.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Yeah, that's fine, that's fine because she's addicted to that.
She knows what. Yeah, that was the reasoning. I'm addicted
to it, So that's fine. She's not addicted to chemicals
and her vegetables.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
But the vape.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Why doesn't she just get herself addicted to the to
the chemicals and the and she is addicted to it.
I have a lot of money and time.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Yeah, true, but I don't think.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
I don't think she's seen the Facebook video that said yet, hey,
stop eating the vegetables fourteen forty.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
If anyone to jot down when Ruda's traumatic childhood was.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Going to come in, I'll hold that one funny I
could get into an algorithm and fire through some anti
vape videos. Wouldn't like that Satan was an a vape
or something? I reckon it would all right?
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Satan's vapor.
