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, now a bit of drama on the way to work this morning because you saw a load of fire engines going up the road. Yeah, there was a traffic was stopped at this traffic light, definitely why I was late and there was fire engines and when I was coming further up the road three went past. There was none of and when I was coming further up the road three went past

there was none of that when I went past about 20 minutes earlier yeah I must say it just happened after and then they were like stop the traffic

and I'm like damn it I was going to be on time and then I was late that's so crazy definitely not my fault I'm going to reiterate definitely not my fault

and yeah this building all the people were being carted out and I was like ooh this is an embarrassing amount of adults wearing uddies Again to reiterate Definitely not my fault And yeah This building All the people Were being Carted out And I was like Oh this is an embarrassing Amount of adults

Wearing uddies Really Oh yeah Gross Put on a jumper And a blanket You sent a photo To the group chat

And then We were all sitting here And it's Shannon's Apartment building Yes she said That's my apartment building And I was like Well it's burning down

It wasn't I couldn't see any fires, any smoke or nothing. Because I was just like, living in an apartment building, they're always having fire alarms go off, people cooking and stuff like that. And so we were just like, oh, it'll just be a false alarm. And then breaking news headline, smoke

billows from Auckland Central Apartment. Billows. Billows. And then Shannon's like, that's my apartment building You do Yeah And the irony is I've lived there for three months now

We've never had the fire alarm go off And I've been bragging this whole time Of like You guys told me it would happen all the time Is that probably because It doesn't Probably because it doesn't work Yeah

Yeah So you sent that through And I was like That's the back of my apartment So the name of the apartment Isn't my one But we share like a courtyard Oh yeah So the name of the apartment isn't my one but we share like a courtyard

so it's like my apartment wasn't in danger and I don't know if they would have evacuated mine I don't know I was here

my partner was down south oh but so your partner didn't get the 4am the 4.30 evacuation no but then I messaged him

being like when Vaughn sent the video being like ha ha ha lucky you you didn't get woken up and then I just sent the breaking news alert so poor guy wakes up to a him being like, when Vaughn sent the video, being like, ha ha ha, lucky you, you didn't get woken up. And then I just sent the breaking news alert. So poor guy wakes up to a thing being like, our apartment might be on fire.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was being all dramatic. Do you know what it was? They've followed up with how the fire started. It was someone charging their e-scooter. Oh, yeah, those things go off. So apparently, though, you can't leave an e-scooter battery charging. Yeah. It's hot.

There have been some crazy house fires. Seriously? Because we're not allowed them in ours. Who are you going to allow them? Yeah, Renee, the lovely Renee.

Right. We're the Renee. She had like a garage go up, hey? Yeah. And like, like rode off a large portion of her house

just because the smoke's so toxic. And then when it explodes, it blows flammable shit everywhere. What are they? Lithium ion. There's a specific type of rechargeable battery. It can be scooters. Some of the power tools run on them. You just can't leave them charging. Can we go away without power tool batteries charging

all night, in the garage, all week? Oh no, no, no. Oh dear. They're banned in our apartment, but they're also banned here at work. Are they? For the same thing. Yeah, you can't charge them in the building. But you can bring them here. Yes, you just can't charge them.

No, but are they saying that because they don't want us using the free power, right? Probably. They're not worried about the fires. They're worried about paying for our scooters being recharged. Surely that needs to be addressed that these batteries are catching on fire. It kind of is talked about. Yeah, and I mean, I know we're not allowed them, but because my boyfriend wants one

and I was like, we can't have one. He's like, as if people follow these rules and now I'm like, well. Yeah, one way to get busted

is when everybody is evacuated and your apartment is written off. I know. Yeah. But I'll let you know when I get home

if I can like see the damage or what. Oh yeah, it might be smoky. You might have a kind of like a really delicious smoky essence. Oh, barbecue. a, like a really delicious smoky,

smoked scooter. Oh, barbecue. Yeah, like a barbecue, tangy barbecue, smoked scooter. Because you said it was on floor 10 and I live on floor 8. Yeah, you'll be able to get the wafts.

Right across. Yeah, there'll be some wafts. There was a house that caught on fire on my street last week and the whole entire shed is gone and a boat. Yeah. I drove past for a nosy

when I was feeding your cat. Crazy, eh? God, you are so nosy. Stop being so nosy. No, I drove past it to nosy when i was feeding your cat crazy yeah you are so nosy stop being so i drove past it to nosy all the time being like how bad was it and it was like literally like just a couple of brick walls left was it a meth lab i don't know i didn't i don't because the other there was a fire out on the way to our place that burnt down it was a meth lab was it crazy and clandestine they say oh clandestine, they say. Oh. Clandestine meth lab. Right.
