Yeah, we spoke about the fire evac the other day, didn't we? But there's something else happening at your apartment. Yeah, bigger time of the year. It's inorganic season. So that's where you put your shit out on the curb. Yeah. Yeah, so if you've got an old sofa or an old... Alvin or something.

You chuck it on a pile. And suburbs do this as well. You leave it on the front lawn on collection day. And then the trucks come along and put it in it... It stops you fly tipping. Yeah, and then it gets taken to the dump. Yep. Or people come along.

But it gets taken to the dump, and Auckland also has this like zero waste system, which I love, I'm not actually popping on the way home today for a look at the dump shop. Just love it up popping into the dump shop. They've got a shop. So they take the rubbish out and landfill that, but anything that can be sold on. Wait, so are you telling me if I put a dead body in the rubbish, someone. They'll sell it in the shop, could see it. Because I thought it went straight into the, hang on, I thought it went straight.

This was my plan. Yeah. You're telling me it doesn't go straight in the landfill? I'd really look at that plan. Oh, shit. Yeah. And don't hide it in an old. TV or anything because they could sell that TV

would be great to sell. And then the gulp will start dripping out the bottom of the TV and the show we found out. TV did body goop. Oh, yuck. That's a big of yuck. Right. But before I before I moved to Auckland, this was definitely not a thing in Tadernaki

when you plummet. I remember the heyday of inorganics in the early 2000s in Auckland because now I think you have to pay and it can't take it up any more than a certain cubic meterage. Right. But the good old days, the rich people would just be like, Throat out I'm going to look at it

And you just walk around The rich suburbs Having a shop You get in a van Or get a trailer And just go and find some cool stuff Yeah Yeah

Didn't you find a whole barbecue That hadn't even been used Yeah I've definitely found some stuff People love chucking their barbecues out And often it will be charcoal barbecues That they purchased And couldn't work

And they were like This is harder It would be So they put them on the side of the road I don't think anywhere else In the country Or even the, does anywhere in the world Do this?

I was gonna say Wellington But no we just got I went to the dump. How was it? So what's the deal with your apartment and organics? There's just a space? So we got sent an email and I don't know who's park it is but someone's dedicated their park to it. Or the car park.

I wouldn't do that. I'm absolutely fucking not ask someone else. Well now I have an empty car park so I'm debating saying what I can do with that. Have you thought about sub-leasing your car park to someone else in the building? I didn't know if we're allowed to but someone put a letter up in the kind of foyer being like leasing up my car park $75 a week. And I do it. That's lolly money. I'm not sure. Anyway, but someone's car park is now the inorganic spot for the next week.

Love that. Isn't this incredible? And so it says we're allowed to dump old furniture, appliances or household items. But I know all the apartments in my building are furnished. So I'm not really sure. Oh, you're what furniture you're allowed to dump. Someone might have an old office, you know, like a game or something. But yeah, I'm very excited.

I'm going to go have a nosy this afternoon. Oh, see if you can find some. I mean, you might be able to find a new, so. sofa, one and a half set sofa. That would be good. Maybe I could get finally a real one. But I did see someone in the rubbish room the other day. And I knew Inorganics was coming because there was like an email sent.

And he was like at our time in the morning. So it was about 4.30 in the morning. He's like, do you have a baby? And I was like, nah. And he's like, do you want this car seat? And I was like, oh, no. If you've already said no to having a baby, you want to have a car seat. She might have a French bulldog.

Oh, yeah, true. Or a small friend. He was like, oh, I know it's bad to give car seats to people. but like do you want it and I was like no I really don't and he's like well why are you down here at this time of the morning and I was just like mate I'm just trying to throw out my little bit of rubbish and go to work why do you get angry that you didn't want a baby seat I don't know what you're fucking babies six everybody knows if you're down here

four o'clock in the morning it's when the baby seat the baby seat markets are happening but also like you're not supposed to get secondhand car seats like that's a whole thing are you not why not well it's not they've got expiry dates yeah and if it's been in a crash you don't know if someone's fucked with the buckles Yeah, but no, so I just kind of like walked away and I heard him be like, that was weird. You were weird.

No, what if this was a drug deal? And he thought that you were the person coming to get the drugs. No, he had a babysit with him. He was holding it. Yeah, what's in the baby seat drugs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that the new thing? It's a decoy.

Yeah. Baby seek drugs. Also, does he even live in the building, Shannon? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's secure. You can't get into that. It doesn't feel secure. That building doesn't give secure. Dude, no one's like trying to get into that building

Fonzie's like you have to wait 20 minutes for the elevator Fair call But he should have What I'm saying is he should have just waited for this week And then he could have put it in a little car park Yes Well maybe you'll see it there When you go and drop off your

I'll keep you updated Yeah Well none of us want a fucking second-hand babysit either Don't give us your rubbish Ha ha.
