From the Zedium Podcast Network. It's Fletchhorn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Now, I got a message. Congratulations. It was at the weekend from my neighbour. Hi, bro. Just popping over to get some lemons.

This is like at 8.30 at night, by the way. Oh, okay. I'm just like, okay. By the way, my mum's lemon tree, Bev, who had lemon and lime. None of that scabby stuff that you've got. Oh, yeah, but Beves are professional. are phenomenal. The scabs don't matter. The lemons that I have

are shameful. Yeah but mum's lemon tree looks like you've got them from the supermarket. That waxey, that waxey. We're also different breed of lemon. She might have a Myers lemon. Google a Myers lemon. Look, I'm just saying... They're the bright yellow waxy ones. They're lemony lemons.

I've got to plant Amires. We've got some mackey lemons. They're still juice. They're still delicious. It's what's on the inside, guys. Guys, it's what's on the inside that counts. So he says, I'm popping over and get some lemons. Oh, no matter if you've got to wax your skin. If you want some oysters, let me know.

Fresh as. Hang on a sec. What? And I said, the only ones left from the tree are really high. I've got some picked. Come to the door and you can have some lemons, sweat as. And he's like, do you want some of these oysters? No, we've just eaten.

No, you said no to fresh oysters. Well, you don't know how much. He gets over. And I say, where did you get your oysters from? He's like, oh, it's just on the way home from work. and I saw a sign. Oh no, I'm not eating those. Okay, no, sorry.

Wait till you hear the next part. I thought the man's out, bloody swim in for these things. No, no, no, no, no. And he said it was 50 oysters for $50. Ding, ding, red flag number two. Side of the red flag. I mean, because I love a deal, but that's too cheap. Also, I don't want 50 of them.

So that's, well, they were a dollar each, basically. That's a good price. I don't need oysters, but I also don't know how many oysters you buy. So we'd bought his partner, 50 oysters. And then I get a message from her Do you sure you don't want some of these oysters Because I'm not going to be out to eat 50 It's not good for you

I said no it's probably no After maybe 6 18 Okay No I'd do 12 on my own And then I'll be like Oh yeah

And then maybe someone hasn't done theirs I have a couple more And then you're like Yeah you're pushing it right Sloppy plops the next day I ate 24 oysters Because I accidentally ordered Two dozen

Two dozen instead of like a dozen Where? In South Africa In December So they were so they would We were basically like a dollar each. Yeah. So it was fine.

Yeah, but they went off the side of the road. No, no, they weren't. How is it? How is your guts? How is your guts? How is your guts? Yeah, good, but I was full. I'll tell you that, Mike.

And I was like, I'm not leaving them because I've paid. Oh, God, no. Good boy. And I tell you what, it was a, it was very hard by the last three or four. 12's the perfect number. Yeah. But from a van on the side of the road? Where did he get them?

A van. From a van. I believe not a van on the side of the road. Yeah, right. They were like the same day situation. Again, I'm not, because I had a very bad experience, Haley. In 2004, we were sent, Fletcher, if you could have it by Orks Court, we were sent some promotional oysters from shock records to promote the 2004 release

of Australian Man Eskimo's Joe's song from the sea. Because, of course, oysters are from the sea. I believe I have a vague memory of that. Tell the story, yeah. Tell the story, yeah, and a polished iron container on ice. Looked all good, looked all. Smout good? Smout good.

I have never been so violently ill in my... Every time I hear the song, I just think about being bedridden all the weekend, just vomiting. And thankfully because I was from Taranaki and I was very uncultured and hadn't even tried oysters or liked the smell of them or the look of them. Oh, you weren't an oyster man yet.

He passed. He passed. He wasn't an oyster man yet. He hadn't refined his palate. It wasn't until I went to a restaurant that was free through work that I had them. And I like them. I love that. I love these. Wait, so you did your brother,

a solid and ate his oysters as well. I think you ate most people in the office. Most people in the office are like, no thanks. Oh, dude. Me and two other people. Yeah. Hooned this massive thing of voices and all of us were so violently, violently. They must have just been sitting at the record company office for like a couple of days or

I don't know. Not in the fridge properly. And that's why I'm just like, I can't. I'll go, I'll eat them in a restaurant. I'll eat them when I see them be shocked. I'm not eating right-side oysters. that you got for $50 for $50. If we're all out to get in, there's oysters on the menu, we're getting oysters.

Absolutely. Yeah. So. I also love his, like, I just didn't know how many to buy, so I bought 50. That's a lot. I said, 50 of anything's a lot. It is, dude. 50 nuggets is a lot.

You hear the term like a dozen oysters all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, God, maybe check on his wife. Yeah, I'm going to check in with her.
