From the Zedium Podcast Network, it's Fletchforn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod and another edition of Shannon's Meth Apartment. Meth Manor, do we call it Mess Tower? Yeah, yeah. Mess Tower's. Manor makes it sound like, like, dramatic, like maybe a game of Cludeau would be had there. Yeah, okay, what's the latest in the saga? Yeah, and local crackhead was murdered with a bit of pipe they found on the side of the road by, um,

Um, overzealous, um, neighborhood watch. I will say just a minor update on the apartment. I have stayed friends with my new friend. We talk most days now. Oh, that's lovely people who do want to know. Yeah. This was the one that offered you the plants. Yes.

And I don't know if we said on the podcast, but she gave you all of her plants. She's literally moving across town. Yeah, she's staying in Auckland, but she just wanted to give me the plan. Why isn't she allowed plants at the new place? Is it the transporting of the plants? I've got so many questions. What are the plants? Yeah, what are?

meth plants. Meth plants. You can't leave Meth Manor. No. So it's tragic time at the Meth Manor. Only one elevator's working at the moment, which for a thousand people is rough.

There's a thousand fucking people living in Meth Manor? It's huge. It's really annoying because there's been a few times where I go to get in the elevator and it's like nah, too full and I have to miss a whole run and there's a lot of floors and like... So it's rough times for me, I will say. Send your teas and peas.

Oh yeah. Sent, sent. So as I have to wait for the one now elevator I have to kind of go through I would call it a lobby but I think it's just a room with a vending machine Carmen can you verify It's like the hallway

Because I will say Fletcher's apartment has a lovely lobby Fletcher's is gorgeous Lovely lobby Yeah do you mean the one with the couch or the one without the couches Two lobbies No like the where the vending machine is Yeah that's a hallway It's a hallway but that's kind of where you can

What's the state of Sorry to sign by here but what's the state of the vending machine? What are we talking? Incredible. Wow. What's a highlight in the machine? Tim Tams for six bucks for a packet.

I reckon that's great. That's actually pretty good because if they're not on special, that's what you'd pay at the supermarket. There's lots of like real food, which I think is great. Lots of noodles. What, like a carrot? No, no, no. Like the fish you put on crackers, tuna.

There's tuna and tuna. Of course, best-known for its ability to be spread on a cracker. There's lots of those. And pork crackling, which I'm getting into. Oh, it's so bad. Fuck me. Jesus Christ. So who do we call?

I feel like if you were a child, we'll be calling sips. Sips. Yeah. What are they called now? I don't have the tamariki. Yeah, yeah. There's lots of good drinks and stuff as well. It's a great.

There's two vending machines. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Only eat out of this guys. She's okay. No, no, no, because they're dairy. Yeah, she adds mints from the dairy as well. Oh, phew. No need of a concern.

I love it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, yeah, anyway. So, I'm walking through my whole. hallway lobby, I see the vending machines, I'm like, no treats today. But what I do see, on the floor, and I send a photo in the group chat for you guys,

a kettle plugged in on the floor. Like, there's no tables or anything. There's just a kettle sitting there. Kettle on the floor. Using communal power. This is smart. You're paying for that. No, because if you live on the top floor,

you've got to take that kettle all the way back up and it'll be cold. And bring your cup of coffee down, pull the water in, leave the jug, and then go back to your top floor. People are putting meth in that. I didn't... Yeah. I could tell...

There's meth in the... It's meth ma'am. I could tell that the kettle was recently boiled. It had that vibe. Was it a contractor working? Like an electrician or... There is contractors at the moment. I feel like I shouldn't say...

Oh no, there's also other ones doing something but I feel like I shouldn't say because it might give away where I live. I'm aware of like... I talk a lot about Meth Manor. We just Google Maps Metrana. Yeah, it comes up. Comes up immediately.

It's only got a 1.2 star as well. That's not good. We had our property manager come over recently to do an inspection. She's like, oh, do you guys want to renew the lease? And we're like, yeah, we do. And she's like, wow. That's a terrible sign. She was like, do you guys enjoy living here?

I thought that was such a funny question. Wow. Okay, because she's constantly there, like, weekly people are. Do you guys want to renew your lease? And you're like, yeah, and she's like, really? What the fuck? And then we were kind of like, ha-ha, if you don't raise the rent, and she's like, don't worry.

And she's like on the phone to the landlord, got these suckers are back for another year. No, I love it. Also, people text in sometimes being like, can Shannon not afford to live? I do choose to live there. I've lived in many places in Auckland. It's super close to work, isn't it as well?

Like, I am okay. It is just like a bit me here. I love that with where you live, you have to reiterate to people you love, I'm okay. Yeah, and when I get in the elevators and the man is still holding his begging cup from the motorway,

I just don't really make eye contact. contact. Yeah, okay. He's lovely though. He is lovely. I always go when I've got it in the thingy. He's just trying to make his way in the world, you know? It's tough out there. It is tough. One of them's my neighbour. Like, we share a door. Sorry,

what? He lives there too, but he collects money in a cup. Yeah. The thing, yeah. Okay. Fuck me. Cowan gets the joy of coming here all the time. And you're going to do a whole other year there. Yeah, probably two more. I mean, and as you're a sort of semi-father figure

in your life, I actually ban you from going to her house. also do we want to reconsider having our zm christmas do at shannon so it's just feeling like it doesn't sound like an escape room that if you don't you don't but do you know what though we would have to take a few shifts to get up there because the elevator does have a back of about six people currently and only one person per room
