30
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 7: It would have been about fifteen years ago. My wife

31
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 7: and I went to Vietnam and I was eating raw

32
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 7: meat and I caught a parasite that went to my eyeball.

33
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 7: And I've still got it from this day on. And

34
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 7: about two years ago it died and it's still in

35
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 7: my eyeball.

36
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: So it's sun took over.

37
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 7: It was from eating raw meat.

38
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, point alert, it turns out that's

39
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: not that good for you raw meat.

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 7: It's just a delay, that's all. But yeah, so I've

41
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 7: still got it at this day on. But every time

42
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 7: I blink, I can actually see the outline of the worm.

43
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 4: You're kidding me?

44
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 7: Now?

45
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: Much drives me mad?

46
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: Andrew?

47
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I already lost my eyesight.

48
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 4: Thing do nothing. Medical science can't help you.

49
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 7: No, no, no, they couldn't do anything. They just said,

50
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 7: you've just got to wait for it to die. And

51
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 7: every time I blink. It is still the outline of

52
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 7: the worm in my elbow.

53
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: So you've got like three eyes in a way, there's

54
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: your two and then you got the old mates off

55
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: there as well.

56
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: And now that he's.

57
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 5: Died, does he stop causing your trouble? Are you back

58
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 5: to nor great?

59
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 4: Yeah?

60
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: Can you see his corpse? Can you see his outline

61
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: of his corps?

62
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:49,679

Speaker 6: I can.

64
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 4: Oh, you gotta wait for that to break down.

65
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 7: I don't know. Apparently it just stays there till it

66
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 7: eventually disappears.

67
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,840

116
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 5: down on the list of potato based items. I guess

117
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 5: you've got your chips potato cakes, but hash browns should

118
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,000
