The ZM Podcast Network. Hey, does this after-party have a smokers area? Nah, why? Because I brought my nan with me. This bitch is empty. Yeet! Bree and Clint's After-Party. Does your nan smoke? My nan was a heavy smoker for many years.

Yeah? Yeah. What was her smoke of choice? Um, that's a great question. I feel like it was Winfield something. That's the one you'll enjoy. Winfield, Winnie Blues. Because if you smoke what your nan smoked, it will remind you of her.

No, it makes me feel sick. It'll bring back those. No, I don't need to bring back those memories. I'll have a cup of tea. Every time I have a cup of tea, it reminds me of my nan. What tea did your nan drink? Just straight black tea. Yeah, but what brand?

Oh, it didn't really matter. Really? She just had whatever. She was a tea sluzz. Yeah, maybe Dilma. Ah, yeah. Or... Wait, what's the other one? Twinings?

Twinings. Yeah, maybe Twinings. My name was big on the PG tits. Oh, yeah. We don't have that in Australia. You don't have the PG tits? Do you guys have bushels here? Yeah. Yeah, I think my name was a bush the PG tits. Oh, yeah. We don't have that in Australia. You don't have the PG tits? Do you guys have bushels here? Yeah.

Yeah, I think my name was a bushels fan as well. Big bushels. But no, we don't. Well, I don't remember seeing that one in Australia. PG tips had the ad in the 90s, way in the 80s, in the 70s, with the monkeys that had the tea party. That was the classic. Did you get the little monkey magnets inside the PG tips box?

No, we didn't have that. Yeah, right. No. My nan didn't smoke, but my papa did, and he was a Rothmans man. And when I thought that maybe I wanted to get into smoking, I tried a Rothmans. Yuck. Bad.

Bad. Bad, bad, bad. To be honest, I've never had a cigarette and gone, yum. I was going to say, have you ever? These are Moorish. They're pretty yuck. Yeah, sumptuous. And what is it?

The only real, oh, and menthols? Yeah, menthols are meant to be the. Menthols are yuck. Before all the vape flavours came out, that's what menthol was meant to be. They're all yuck. Yeah. It makes me feel sick. Yeah, well, RIP Nans. It wasn't the smoking that took them out. It might me feel sick. Yeah. Well, RIP Nance.

It wasn't the smoking that took them out. It might have been the tea. Where did yours go from smoking? Mine went from smoking. My papa went from smoking. What happened to your papa? God, this is depressing, isn't it? Isn't it?

Jesus Christ. Lung cancer, what happened to yours? Probably worse. She suffered with emphysema for like eight or nine years and then eventually lung cancer mixed with the emphysema after eight years of pure suffering. Got it. And do you reckon it was the smoking or the tea?

Oh, look, if there's children listening, it was the smoking. Don't smoke. Do not smoke. I reckon kids are interested in smoking. A doctor told my listening, it was the smoking. Don't smoke. Do not smoke. I reckon kids are interested in smoking. A doctor told my nan to take up smoking. Really? True story. Wow.

Yeah, back in the, would have been in the early 50s or late 40s. And what was it an antidote to? My nan had had complications with a pregnancy and at birth where the doctor didn't exactly do the right thing and so it left her daughter disabled. And so my nan was looking after this disabled child and it was very stressful. And traumatic. And traumatic, you know. Yeah. And so she was very stressed out, very traumatic, and she went to the doctor and she's like, I'm very stressed.

I'm like, you know, whatever. And the doctor's like, you know what will calm your nerves? Smoking. Far out. True story. Yeah. Isn't that crazy to think? And you hear stories.

I reckon some of the doctors are like, well, I smoke and it helps me. So I reckon way back, there's probably just cause for it. And look, it is a relaxed, you know, and it would have been like a relaxing, because it kind of does, I'm assured, like I've had one or two cigarettes, but it kind of does have that feeling. But then you hear stories of big tobacco companies

paying doctors to go, hey. That's true too. Prescribe our cigarettes. Yeah. Tell your patients that camel cigarettes are the ones to smoke or tell your tell your patients to smoke lucky strike because it's healthier because it's toasted same as what they do with the drugs oh conspiracy no that's not a conspiracy that's exactly what they do do they like where pharmaceutical reps will go out and they'll be like-

Oh, yeah, yeah. Not here though. Oh, they don't do that here? I don't think so. Do they? Do we have a problem with that here? Oh, it's not a problem. That's just what their job is.

Right. They just, they will, you know, a pharmaceutical company will have, you know, because there's all different types of brands of drugs. It's like Xanax is a brand of a type of drug and then they'll have their pharmaceutical reps go out and be like, you should use Xanax to give your patients for this, this and this because it's the best. And ironically, instead of smoking, they should have got Nan on the Xans. Yeah.

Put her on the Xanies. Yeah. Better than the smokes. Yeah. I don't reckon kids want to get into smoking. That's my theory, that the job is done, that they've made smoking suitably uncool. Yeah, now they're on the vapes.

Yeah, the vapes are the issue. But I don't reckon, I reckon they're too expensive. They don't taste good. Like, as a kid, once you've tasted a vape and had the same rush from it, why would you want to get on the cigs? You know? If you're 15 and you're like, what's my vice going to be?

How are you going to afford it too? So I reckon that battle is done. Yeah. God, it was so close to wiping it out altogether. I know. So close. Yeah. And then the vaping technology just came in.

Do you remember those awkward e-cigarettes that you had to charge at the beginning of them and they looked like a cigarette and when you sucked it, the end of the cigarette lit up. That was humiliating to be on one of those. There's a new doco, I don't know if it's out yet but I saw they were advertising it that it's coming soon

about the Juul company which was an American vape company and about the rise and fall of that company We got on the jewels when we went to Los Angeles, remember? Yeah, those things are horrible Horrible, marketed towards young people

They're the nicotine ones Real USB stick looking ones High nicotine in them Like a lot Do they taste good? Nah, because when we went they banned the flavours in California we had a mint one

yeah you get mint or the menthol and then we were passing it around the group this was before COVID simpler times

Ross messaged us simpler times Ross messaged us because we were there fine chatting Tatum oh my god and he messaged us he goes hey guys

glad to see you having a good time maybe you need to tone down the vaping content we were doing like we were doing vaping content. We were doing like vaping skits where I think I would stand and I would vape and then blow like a cloud of smoke and then Ellie would jump in and be like a magic trick. Like a disappearing vape cloud trick.

It was so stupid. And then one where you'd suck in the vape and then someone would be hidden behind you, crouch down, and they would also suck in a vape and blow it out the side so it looked like you were vaping out your bottom. That's right. That's right. Yeah, we did that one too. That's fucking good shit, Ross.

What are you talking about? And Ross messaged us and he goes, he's up on that vape content. I mean, boring. Boring, Ross. Yeah, boring. Fun police. Okay, granddad. That's good stuff fun police Ross

at least we were vaping and drinking yeah you know not just vaping yeah exactly right like we were only vaping when we were drinking
