Episode 91 - Dog Party

9 June

Written By Dao

Dao's dog decided to experiment, and Mitch has a new workmate.

A routine Saturday night took a bizarre turn around midnight when Dao's 6-year-old dog began having what looked like a full-blown seizure.

The Symptoms: The dog was gritting her jaw, leaning heavily against the couch, whimpering, and urinating uncontrollably inside the house.
Emergency Vet Visit: Fearing the dog had eaten rat poison or toxic outdoor fungi, they rushed her to the 24-hour vet with backyard mushroom samples in hand.
The Diagnosis: The vet took one look at the dog's massive, saucer-sized dilated pupils and started laughing—the dog wasn't dying, she was just tripping hard on wild psilocybin mushrooms eaten in the backyard.
The Recovery: Sent home with activated charcoal, the hosts let the dog ride out her trip while listening to Pink Floyd.

After checking on his three young children, the host made the mistake of looking up childhood dental X-rays online:

Crowded Jaws: Discovering that adult teeth are fully formed and stacked directly inside the jawbone beneath the primary teeth, creating a terrifying "horror movie" appearance in standard X-rays.
Overcrowding & Vasectomies: After reading about rare cases (like a child growing over 500 extra teeth), the unnerving dental imagery pushed him to officially book a vasectomy.

Snapped Kickstart Shaft: Riding dirt bikes on the brutal "Kokoda Track" trail near Yarra. After surviving a grueling 45-minute technical single-track section, the host snapped the solid 14mm steel kickstart shaft completely off his bike while trying to kick it over.
Custom Repair Plan: Buying a new shaft and planning to machine a solid steel sleeve on the lathe to reinforce the weak point where the internal spring hole is drilled.
Local Pump Tracks: Visiting the local asphalt pump track with custom BMX builds and riding high-wall transfers and gap lines.

Losing His Voice: Suffering from a severe throat infection (Rina/Laryngitis) that caused complete voice loss for three days, leading to a frustrating phone consultation with a doctor where he could only make faint didgeridoo-like rasping sounds.
Post-Lockdown Dining: Going out to a café for eggs and Chilean avocado, only to face mandatory COVID-19 contact tracing sheets—joking about the privacy hazard of leaving personal phone numbers exposed on public clipboards.
