Episode 23: Mauritius - Stamps, Submarines, and Stupid Movies

Listen to the Episode Here!

This time on TLT, Zaki colour-coordinates some dirt, Ali dons a fishbowl and crashes his Vespa into the Indian Ocean, and Zaeem touches up two stamps. Join us as we explore Mauritius and what this island has to offer.

Random Rubbish

Doctor Who?

No idea what Ali was going on about in this one. Something about asthmatic doctors and mispronouncing names? I stopped listening a few seconds in, to be honest, but the main thing is that he was talking rubbish. -- Zaeem

Fun Facts (we use the term loosely)

Population Density

EDIT: Fun fact, the spread of COVID-19 depends on 2 things: 1) How dense the population is. 2) How dense the population is. -- Zaeem

EDIT 2: That was actually a good joke. Well done. -- Ali & Zaki

EDIT: Oh look at me, I'm a dirty rainbow. What a stupid attraction. -- Ali

EDIT 2: Stop slating my attraction. I think it's awesome. Plus, there's so much other cool stuff in the park as well, including the HIGHEST WATERFALL IN THE COUNTRY, you mug. -- Zaki
