OFF-AIR 🔴 NOT FOR MAX - Was The 40 Hour Famine A Scam?

This is a podcast from Rover

Oh, no running eggs into the world

Here's the podcast

Yes, it is the ninth of February already today. I say already first day back. Get it else. Hi first day back for your son Miller

Holy at school. He's six ninth of February

It's oh boy

Apparently I found out on the weekends another parent told me that parents complained that they started too early

That's why they started today. Oh, I see. I was like who the fuck are these parents? I'm gonna fight these parents

There's no need for kids to start back on the ninth of February

At least I mean I'm thinking most started at least last week

Some some the week before I know some started to date. Obviously I was dead in the other schools as well

But come on like my wife's a deputy principal. They started last week. Yeah, and some the week before yeah, but I guess with Miller

He started so late

That his last day of school must be Christmas Eve. It has to be I think his last day was like the fifth no the 17th or something

Yeah, so they'll go yeah, you'll you'll have them at school in December

I know that's miles away for as long as he possibly could be yeah

Yeah, so you'll have them there all the time, but yeah, Knights of Fairb holy heck

Well, no because you know in this day and age a lot of people both obviously both parents are working. Yeah

You know, and it's just like what are you supposed to do with him?

I mean like if you can't get them into the holiday programs because they are expensive in beef

So up exactly then what do you do? He's just been roaming the streets hasn't he? Yeah

He's been like he's he's able to hack into those electric scooters

Creates what what were you like as a kid school holidays? What did you do? Oh?

How I went what age kid? I don't know like do you remember what you did in school holidays coming because you know

What what where were you living? Yeah, I was living in Auckland. Oh, yeah

And my mom had a strict one hour on one hour off with playstation. Oh, I can play for an hour

And then you know go out and enjoy the enjoy the wilderness. My wife does that with me

And you stick to it. No, I don't go. I start getting trouble

If you take the controllers away. No, to the naughty corner mouth

But yeah, no, it was pretty pretty boring. I look back at it. And I think gosh

I'm not even that good at playing playstation either right

But if I had to spend all that time focusing on something else like learning an instrument or learning a language

Yeah, or you know skating. Yeah doing something. Yeah, you know constructive. Yeah, exactly

Then maybe I would actually be good at something other than talking shit. Well, we found out today much

He must have trained. He was

Four years in a row or something festival of the word or something

Spoken words spoken words. Sorry, my mistake. You were you were the best. Yeah, I was saying to create you earlier

I used to really wind up with the drama kids at school because they'd take it right

I didn't talk drama, but they'd take it and then once the festival of the spoken word came around

I'd roll in and just snatch off the winner's prize off all of them

What was I mean, I know what a spoken word hero. Yeah, I know we did speak about this on here

But what was for those who don't know and many don't the festival of the spoken word? What did you have to do?

It was like a speech and drama competition

So you do like monologues or speeches or that sort of thing

My year-thirteen winning pace. It was one that I actually wrote myself

It was about my time at Subway as a sandwich artist. Okay. I can't remember harrowing at all. Yeah, but of course a one. Yeah

What else did I did some Shakespeare in there as well? Oh, wow

So you just stand up and

Shakespeare like

So he does protest

So you had to stand up in front of the on assembly right like the hall. Oh

Yeah, in our school hall there was a special night for it all the

Yeah, yeah, yeah, people would come into watch it was quite an occasion in our Spurding College

Folks see what I see why you're on the creek. Yeah, that's awful close

He's owned out the first time he took it. I was on my phone. Oh boy, but now I wish I was back on my phone

Did you with the girls lining up afterwards?

Well, they're a word of a lie. No

I thought you would have been like a lamp and all the girls

And what was the prize? What what did you get?

Maybe like a certificate. I don't think you're much involved. I got a

No, I was gonna say I got a badge from a blazer, but I don't even think I got that

I got a badge I've blazer for

Here to the cultural committee though. That was a big one. No, what about in tail

To be fair roach to be fair. I've got nothing that rivals us from my time

I did not win a speech comment

cultural committee

I had to organise the 40 hour famine there was my big job. Okay. Oh, hey

Recently heard about the 40 hour famine that the the the company that ran it

They also they owned just juice and and

Where there's originals or something? Oh

All of their own barley sugar. Have you got 40 hour famine conspiracies? Because you don't remember how

Okay, if you're doing the 40 hour famine. I have barley sugars. The only thing you can consume is barley sugars and just juice

Which is always a bit random. Yeah

You know what they you know what they have in Africa is barley sugars and just

It was always barley sugars

But then I remember someone with a tin foil hat on right

Was telling me he was that you make same company they own it so they made you do the 40 hour famine and you to buy a whole

And to just do some barley sugars. How many how many

Reped off the 40 hour famine. Oh, it's so many

So so many much. Oh, it's definitely snacking

Yeah, I got I got caught eating cheese. Yeah cheese. Yeah

Open up the French cheese just a wheel the body sugars on and here

Did you actually do the mouse will attempt to do yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're doing every year at school. Yeah, yeah, yeah

And I never did it but

And they said I mean they got a bit lame later on

Maybe some people were getting sick or something they were like okay rather than 40 hours no food like go 40 hours no TV

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I remember my year 13 year

We did like a different thing each day

Well like one day with like 24 hours no talking and this is over the course of a week

So one day was no talking another week another day was no furniture

How are you going to win the spoken word festival if you can't talk

This is a good point. Fortunately the two days didn't cross over

Yeah, the no furniture I mean, but we were all sitting on the ground

Yeah

I can't stop you wanting who uh caught you eating cheese out of the fridge mum

And you're supposed to be on the 40 oven. Yeah, yeah, maybe if you were eating cheese you would have won your high school

Yeah, long jump long jump long jump. Yeah, yeah, no matter you wouldn't want it

Hey, no guys, sorry to show to move on from this. Yeah, I got sent an article today from Mal
