From the Zedium podcast network, it's Fletchhorn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Guys, I didn't even tell you this on the day, Vaughn. But at the weekend, I sustained an injury on Saturday when we went out. When we were out. I don't want to say it was a third degree burn, but I want to say it was close to what could be a two degree. Did you touch the fire bit? A two degree burn.

No, so we went out to what I now know is a baby. shower. I thought it was a barbecue with friends. Oh, so did I. It was called a baby cue. Oh, yeah, baby queue. No, it was in the Facebook event was their barbecue, their name Barbecue. Shrewry, Baby Q. Oh, I didn't read it like that. It was a mixture of their last names. Yeah, and then

BBQ. Yeah, Bay, B-A-Y-B-Q. Baby-Q was a clever play on words. When I saw it, I... Yeah, I didn't get that, but, and so obviously I forgot to get a, didn't even know about a present. Oh, you don't need prisons these days. And they're so curated. They know what they like.

Babies don't know. Babies don't know. But anyway, we went out to our friend's place, lovely place in the middle of nowhere, banana Rama or whatever it's called. Frank Bonan, it's named after Frank Banana Ramah or Fiji. Is he a dictator? He was a dictator, wasn't he?

He overthrew the government, the military coup, I believe. It was a letter of the coup. I don't know if he ever made dictator so much as authoritarian leader. Anyway, they named the suburb out of Auckland, Brini Ramarama after him. And that's where our friends are now living. Yeah. And so we went to their place, a lovely place, an incredible feast awaited a snack, several.

Oh, great platters. And in between a drink, I grabbed a delicious pie, a little mini pie. Oh, I love a savoury. A mince mini pie. And I had a little bite into it. And out the back of it, it erupted with moltenous mince into the palm of my hand. And I would say that mint sort of been about 200 degrees. Fahrenheit.

Like a McDonald's hot, hot apple pie. Yes. You know, like, what have you done to get that so hot in there? Like a hot tomato. It just encases the heat. And I was just like, and then I was standing there and I was like, oh, that's hot. And then I was like, fuck, fuck, fuck. It was burning.

Burning my hand. And luckily there was like a rubbish bin right beside me. So it was just like, all the mince in the bin. Oh, cool. And then grab the serviette and I was like, oh my God, that was hot. And then like half an hour later, I was like, my hand was on fire. I was like Oh you've proper burned it

So I just grabbed an ice cube Out of the Drillies Oh yeah that's good thinking Held an ice cube in my palm For like half until it melted And then like I reckon Monday

He kept this very quiet at the party Yeah I kept it very quiet at the party I would have made such a say No no no I was like oh my god And then I was like Oh my god What if they see the mints in the bin

Like They're gonna think that I don't like They're gonna think I don't like their mince pies Skid would think I don't like A mince pie catering And it was great guys She'll be listening So Skid

Yeah I did yeah It wasn't you Um it You've got to watch out for the hate in these encased objects. Yeah, you do, you do. So I'm just, like, Rama, I thought, interestingly enough, it's not named after Frank Bonanarama, which surprises me. It's named after a New Zealand shrub that is used there.

And you know what? It's fucking ironic. Isn't it ironic? Traditionally used in multi-herbal medicine to treat bruises and burns. Oh, shit. I was right near the source of my treatment. Yes, right there. The cure.

You sustained the injury that the plant that the area is named after was used for to heal. Is it like a aloe or something? Is it like that? I don't know. Cures bruises and burns. So are you telling me there's been a traditional Māori cure to the hiki all along? Oh yeah. As a woman of Māori descendants, when I used to get hikis all the time.

You'd chirp a little rhama. I'd ring up my Nana and she'd give me just the... Nanny. Nanny. Come and baby bird your neck with a bit of Rana. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nanny, that teenage boy's been sucking on my neck again. He's like, oh, nanny's got the cure.

Oh, good on you for in your... Rama, gila, girl. So that's wild that it's named after the place that could have cured your burns. What is that, what is that called? Poetic, something on the other. Serendipitous, sort of.
