This week on Melodramatic Vibes we fail

0:02

our impromptu citizenship test. It was really

0:04

hard. Where is Mulbrah and what is

0:06

it known for? Wine. I

0:09

was gonna say wine. South Island.

0:11

Yeah. By Greymouth. No,

0:13

I'm joking, I'm joking, I'm joking, I'm joking. Maddie,

0:16

how did you not know that New Plymouth is

0:18

literally the North Island? Is Palmerston North? No, that's

0:20

the North Island too! Where

0:23

even is Blenham? Listen to this week's

0:25

episode on iHeartRadio and everywhere you get

0:27

your podcasts. Flashpoint

0:34

in Halley's Little Bit of Pod. Great

0:37

things are brewing at McCafe, the perfect start

0:39

to every day. Welcome to a little bit

0:41

of pod. Recently I

0:43

was in Australia, which is a country significantly

0:45

larger to do as if you're looking at

0:47

a globe that's on our left or east.

0:49

It's where everyone in America thinks we're from.

0:52

Yeah. It's weird though that you've come back

0:54

and you still haven't taken off that cork

0:56

hat. Well, flies are everywhere, you know? Yeah,

0:58

that's great. You've only been there for a

1:01

couple of days. Yeah, and I will be

1:03

soon playing the didgeridoo for you

1:05

both. Oh, okay. Is that a appropriate for a

1:07

white man to do that? I'm

1:09

not saying I invented it, I'm saying I

1:11

admire the wrong layers. Because you walked in and

1:14

you said, oh my god guys, I've come up

1:16

with the coolest fucking instrument. I've followed

1:18

it at a tree branch. Yeah, and

1:20

you painted it as well, fully painted.

1:22

It's quite beautiful. But...

1:25

And you painted your face as well, with lots

1:27

of white dots and stuff. I did. It

1:30

just feels off. We

1:32

did see, and this just speaks to we had a

1:34

talk about it afterwards, but we did see in

1:37

an airport, like a welcome to, and

1:39

it had some Aboriginal people of the

1:41

local tribe. And they had the white

1:44

paint, traditional paints, on the

1:46

face. And my

1:49

daughters thought someone had graffitied the sign. Oh my

1:51

god, I can't believe someone graffitied that sign. I

1:53

was like, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, that's the traditional...

1:56

Then we had a good talk about it. Right. They don't say that

1:58

sort of thing in front of other people. and make us

2:00

look like we're raising racists. You're going up

2:03

to an Aboriginal person saying, who graffitied you

2:05

say? You've been, yeah, right. There's something here.

2:07

Yeah, let me get that for you. But

2:10

Australian roadkill is

2:12

so different. We get a rabbit, you get a

2:14

possum. I love seeing a dead possum on the

2:16

road here. Oh, yeah. I've got him. Got you,

2:18

you bastard. I like the pukeekle. Yeah.

2:22

Die, trash hen, ferret or stoat. Yeah, all that

2:24

good. You like the good day. You love seeing

2:26

that. And it is, it's young. Yeah, but you're

2:28

like, well, that's one less piece that's killing our

2:30

native birds. Absolutely. It's destroying our

2:33

native forests. Do you think that when

2:35

you try a pasta cat? No. I

2:37

just tell myself it was a ginger possum. I

2:39

say that too. Me too. Oh, look

2:41

at that fluffy, grey and white ginger possum. Yeah.

2:44

That's a very cuddly looking ginger possum.

2:46

Yeah. In ponsonby. Yeah, wow,

2:48

wow, wow. It happens. Yeah,

2:50

ponson. Wearing a collar. How weird. But

2:53

kangaroo. We saw a full size. Oh

2:55

my gosh. Dead, full size, sandwich-flop, gangaroo.

2:58

Dead bloody fluffy car. My

3:00

car knew. The chimney wouldn't handle it.

3:02

Oh no, actually you would handle it more

3:04

so. The chimney would climb to the

3:06

next week. Yeah. How

3:09

big? Like massive. Like

3:11

it looked like a sack full of stuff on the side of

3:14

the road and as we got closer, like we saw it from

3:16

my edges back. And as we got closer,

3:18

I was like, is

3:20

that? It is. Oh wow. And

3:23

I kept quiet because I don't want to freak anybody out. And

3:25

then when we went past, I said to show, did you see

3:27

that kangaroo? Oh. And

3:30

then, and he was like, what? What? It

3:32

was like kangaroo and we were coming back along that road

3:34

later in the day and everybody's eyes

3:36

were peeled for it. I thought they were going to say it was

3:38

gross or get real sad about it, but they're just like,

3:41

that is insane. That is so wild. It's

3:43

like bloody hitting a kimono or horse. Yeah, they're massive.

3:45

Those bloody things are huge. How do you raise it?

3:47

How do you hit it? And they just run across

3:49

the road and it happens so quick. I

3:53

reckon you wouldn't even see it. It's like a cross

3:55

across Australia. When they

3:57

say you shouldn't swerve to avoid them because you'll just

3:59

kill yourself. Rapping around a tree

4:01

or a power line. I'm flipping into a

4:03

bloody sparrow. I'm terrible. I'm terrible. I

4:06

remember when I first started dating Sade, I was driving

4:08

her. Remember that GSR Lancer she had? Yes,

4:10

she used to be a girl rapper. It

4:13

was a rocker. It was turbo'd. It was

4:15

insane. That's so funny. She would let me drive

4:17

it, and that was quite nice. We would

4:19

sort of sing each other. This

4:21

is a Hamilton love story. It's beautiful.

4:25

This is a Hamilton love story. Oh, these bring the

4:27

tip of my eye. It's the Dinsdale notebook. I

4:29

knew she was the future mother of my children when

4:31

she'd let me drive her Lancer. GSR Lancer. Oh

4:35

my God. Live and

4:37

Life a quarter mile at a time. Who

4:40

life could be so different? People

4:42

always say she's got a run down villa

4:45

and restored at. I rescue her from

4:47

a trash pile. Yeah. I

4:50

rescued her from what could have been. She's

4:53

a rescue. She's a rescue cat. She's

4:56

a rescue cat. She's

4:58

a rescue cat. If

5:00

I'm a run down villa that she's restored,

5:02

she's a rescue cat. Now

5:04

eats bloody fresh meat. She

5:07

gets jumbos every night. She'd

5:09

turn her nose up at the rescue slum.

5:11

You've built her a cat tower. And

5:14

a scratch post. I'm

5:16

getting a regular vet check up. You're a hero.

5:20

I'm a good guy here. You

5:23

don't even know what her makeup is. She's a

5:25

complete mongrel. No idea.

5:28

I don't want a 23 and me. It's a

5:30

mystery that gets me. So when

5:32

I first started seeing her, I remember we were driving

5:34

and a rabbit ran out. And I didn't even flinch.

5:38

I just tore through it. She

5:40

was like, and was absolutely taken aback. I've

5:42

been in the car with her when, like you

5:44

say, a bird or a hawk didn't take off

5:46

from her. Oh my God, I mean, he's a

5:48

hawk. You're just like, Jesus,

5:50

get out of the way. What's worse?

5:54

Nelson, it's not worth killing us. Well, Who's

5:56

to say that our life is more valuable

5:58

than that hawk? I'm always. I

6:00

will deeply stand by that statement. Ah,

6:03

Yes, Well. Yeah straight
