Fleshborn and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod Great things are brewing at McCafe The perfect start to every day Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod Oven update Oven, oven, oven update Oven update So I've mentioned this on A Little Bit of Pod

Oven update Oven update Oven What's your update? Oven update, oven update Oven I mentioned that, what did I say in the last one? That my lights had come on.

The stove, right? The warning light. It said that it was hot, even though it hadn't been used. And so I had started turning off the stove at the master switch. Love the master switch. Just in case something happened. But the other day, I was making. Do you not, sorry to interrupt.

Do you not turn yours off at the master switch all the time? No, I'm not a boomer. We keep our oven off. Do you not, sorry to interrupt, do you not turn yours off at the master switch all the time? No, I'm not a boomer. We keep our oven off. Do you? Yeah, because it's gas, and I just have this fear of the gas being there and then leaking and sparking and stuff. Wait, so if you turn it off at the... But it can't spark. Oh, but you can die from gas exposure, you just won't be given a fire explosion.

Yeah, but that would be a much nicer death than an explosion. You'd rather drift off to sleep. You'd rather die coming on your front door sparking a spark rather than being in your kitchen sparking it so close. Yes. Is that what you mean? Yeah, yeah. I'd just rather die softly, slowly in my sleep. So you turn the gas oven off.

I get that. We turn it off, yeah. You can smell the gas, right? But it could be too late. It could be too late. We've got candles and stuff in the house. So the other day I was using my stove and I was eating, finished eating, went to the kitchen and I hadn't turned it off yet.

Mints. It was eggs. I was doing scrambled eggs. Nice. Delicious. Delicious. I'm going to have eggs for lunch today. And a bit of charred broccolini.

Oh, he's a good boy. Some mushrooms. Gut health. What time of the day was this? Lunch And I went back and I heard a rattling From my stove oven The freestanding stove oven Is it possessed?

And I opened the oven and the fan is on You know the fan that comes on for fan grill and fan bake I love fan bake And it's rattling around and I'm like what the fuck like and no switches are on like it's all on off oh that's no good and the warning lights on the stove like these surfaces are hot they're not they're not hot no that thing's done i'm like off and i'm like i need to buy an oven yeah which we already discussed not a cheap venture it's not a fun purchase and then so and then you get into the whole, like, you know, you look at the reviews. Because a lot of ovens, like, you can get some cheap ones.

Yeah. And I was like, oh, just get a cheap one. And then you read the reviews and you're like, oh, no. That's why it's cheap. I'll be back to square one in, like, two weeks. Did you go kind of mid-range? Yeah. Yeah.

Because... But then now it's coming, like, at the end of this week. Because it has to come from, I don't know, a factory or somewhere. Now, the plug, what could he get a fucking... Your new plug. Oh, it's got to be electrician, and because it's, like, 20 years newer than my current one, it's going to need probably a new Who's Your What's It.

Nah, only if your Who's Your What's It needs to be replaced. If it's 20 years since it's been replaced, it might just be a wise idea. It's a high electrical current coming through that oven switch. Yeah, well, that's sort of, oh, yeah. All the mince he cooks on that thing. It's like a factory of mince. So I can still use the stove, but the oven's out.

The oven's out. So no cookies. No cookies. No cookies. No grilling cheese. What do you mean you can still use the stovetop? The stovetop's fine. I'm just the oven.

Is it a separate thing? Oh, the oven won't even turn on now. Stand alone. Really? Yeah, it's really fucked. God. I fear for your safety. Did you Google it?

Might have just been a fuse or something. No, it's just a cheap oven. It was a cheap oven. It's like really cheap. So what brand have you gone for? I'm not going to say. Do you want to say on? Do you want to go on?

Is it bougie? I'm not going to say. He's gone for a on? Do you want to go on? Is it Bougie? I'm not going to say. He's gone for a... Is it La Caterina or something like that? No. Is it a Bosch? Is it a Melee? Is it a Melee?

No, it's not Melee. Is it Fisher and Paykel? Do you know a lot of places don't even do a freestanding stove? No, it's all separate now. It's because no one has a freestanding stove anymore. It's because you need to renovate your kitchen. We need to get your whole kitchen done. Do you know that every Kiwi knows that the white standalone stove would be...

Yeah, man. That's what it was. They still make those. You know, with the ceramic coiled top. Yes. You've got to do your spots, don't you? No, a lot of them are solid or ceramic. No, flat plates now.

Yeah, but they still let the white... How are kids doing spots these days? Gas camping stove. Yeah, I guess they just have to get a specific stove for it. You've got to get those knives, right? Yeah. You've got to get them... I think they're just putting it in brownies, I think. I think they're just eating it, yeah stove for it you gotta get those knives right you gotta get them I think they're putting

I've got a new one. They could have scrolled down the page about five posts and find the last person that asked that same boring fucking question.
