We're currently on holiday, so the big pod and the show is back July 17. But in the meantime, A Little Bit of Pod today, the second part of the Ask Us Anything. We asked you online for questions.

What do you want to know? What have you got for us? Well, I've got some questions here. Matt asks, if you could live in another country for the rest of your life, which country would it be? I think we've actually asked this off-air to each other as friends. Yeah, I'll answer for Hayley, Italy. Oh. Would it be do you know what

yes but I don't know that I could afford the lifestyle I live and genuinely Aaron and I have talked about at least living in Thailand for a year

in our future oh yeah okay just because I'm like it's a vibe it's such a vibe and it's cheap and it's fun and the food's so fun

and lovely and I could live in Thailand for a year probably in the future when the mortgage goes down and not have to get a job. Yeah, right. That would be my dream. Okay, that would be good. So Italy is close and also I will one day own a house in Italy.

That's assuming that... But I have to wait for my parents to die. Yeah, that's assuming... I'm not really counting down those days. No, yeah. So I would go Thailand. They're there at the moment, your parents. But this is the rest of your life.

This is, say, money's not an issue. Let's talk hypotheticals. Money's not an issue? Is that how we do it? Money's not an issue, but you don't have a billion dollars. You can live comfortably wherever you're going to go. You can't... That's an interesting question. Imagine the sunshine and the beaches and you also get a winter, which I like.

Because I would go between either somewhere in Europe, like Italy, because it's so beautiful. Or you go to South America. Or South America. I love Colombia. I think that's such a cool country. Are you going to the islands, Vaughn? I think I'm just staying here. Yeah.

Oh, my God. I love New Zealand. Same. It's kind of got everything I could ever require. I mean, that's the thing. When you do go away for a long holiday, you're always like, it's good to be back. You're fine for home.

It's good to be back. Our food's great. If you had to live for the rest of your life. I could see you being a Thailand guy. I couldn't go to Thailand, I don't think. It's maybe like, nah, so much of it is tourist. Did you buy property in Thailand? No.

No. No, because not even my father-in-law who grew up and lived in Thailand could buy property because he was born in Hong Kong. Yeah. So he wasn't a Thai citizen. Yep. Is it Hong Kong that gave you access to British passports? Yeah.

And he didn't tell his kids about it until it expired? Really? That would have been great, wouldn't it? Would have been handy. Put it on my memoirs. My father-in-law. My father-in-law and I. My father and Laura and I by Vaughan Smith.

But I always find it funny where people, Kiwis, end up living. I hope to end up here. I hope to, like, dip a toe somewhere. But I'd love... Like retire here. This place rules. Yeah, New Zealand rules. Central but I'd love Like retire here. Yeah New Zealand rules Central Otago. That would be very cool. Up north Bay of Islands

I'd love to live in the Bay of Islands. I'll live in Arrowtown if I get heaps of money I can imagine you living in Arrowtown owning an antique shop. An antique shop and an antique pub like a vintage pub and an antique shop in Arrowtown and then in the winters You know like

We get workers in And then we go Up north You get workers in We go to Italy A dream It's going to wait For those parents of mine

To bugger off To heaven Next To heaven Will there be another Cocktails and International Podcast Shout out edition I think we should do that

This year Before we break for the year Yeah What is that? We don't need ever An excuse to have cocktails, do we? We love cocktails. You do love cocktails. We love it.

Well, a long time ago, this all started when we went to Cambodia and we were broadcasting the show, weren't we? Yeah. And we just got- We recorded- So International Podcast Shoutouts was something we used to do where because people were listening around the world, we'd say where I like,

tell us a bit about yourself, where you're from. And it was great. Cause it was like little paragraphs. It was like, Hey, I'm listening. I live in Belgium and here's an interesting fact about the town I live in.

Cool. But then it turned into like power, like pages. People were sending us their memoirs, which was amazing. Which was flattering and beautiful, but it was long. So hard to get through.

And a lot. I mean, we could definitely open that up for the end of the year. And we were having cocktails and getting drunk and reading them out. And it was great. We're recording this in May. Yeah. We could almost record one before our holidays. A cocktail special.

Yeah. Yeah. Pop it in at the end of these holidays or somewhere, and there is a bit of a special. We could do that. There's enough time. No. See, you have already said to me this week that your calendar,

you have no time. No, but I'm saying I'm going to do it. It doesn't mean I'm going to do it. No, we'll do it at the end of the year. Okay. Okay, Dad. Okay, Dad. Well, I'm your work wife and I know that you've got zero Fridays

and see, we can't do it. No, no, no. I've got Fridays or a Saturday, but I don't have like Friday, Saturday, Sundays to spend. End of the year, we'll do a cocktail special. We'll do a cocktail special. Fun. Podcast shout outs. Sarah wants to know, how do you deal with each other when you get upset?

Well, Hayley very rarely gets upset, but when she does, she says, in all seriousness, not today. Yeah. Not today, guys. Yeah. And then you know that that's serious. Yeah, I don't really, we don't get upset very often. No, no.

So we'll have bad days, like we felt sick or grumpy or anxious or there's something in your life that's going on that is playing in your mind. But this is the joy of it. As you put on these headphones, you start chatting about shit and you kind of forget about it.

Yes, have a laugh. And then you message afterwards and be like, how are you? Yeah. Just like one-on-one. Hey, you're good. You're good. And Fletch just pops off, gets it all out, and then it's like a volcano. I yell into the ether.

Yeah, screams. Fletch sees fucking microphones that aren't working. Why are the fucks in charge of that? We've got three microphones for guests. A guest came in yesterday and two of them weren't working. Why are they the fucks in charge of that? Well, we've got three microphones for guests. A guest came in yesterday and two of them weren't working. Unacceptable. Who's fixing that? And then I just, I'm done.

He's got it out. And then he gets it out and he's done. Yeah. And then next week when we have three guests in and none of the microphones work, I'll do it again. I'll pop off again. Why didn't we get that fixed? He's like, I was faithful.

Yeah. Pop off. Go dormant again. Yeah. Okay, next question. Zane says, how much to shave off Vaughn's beard? The weird thing is, Zane, no amount of money, but some days I'm just like, yeah, I'm going to shave this right short now.

Yeah. And everybody says, oh, my God, you look so great with a short beard. You don't tell me I look great. It's very confronting. You look so much younger When your beard's so shorter All men look younger When they've got a baby face Yeah

We look like haggard old wizards When we have Yeah but I love a beard Yeah And Aaron's Because partner Aaron He's got a big beard And I made him shave it the other day

Because I couldn't find his lips anymore So when I kissed him It was just like And I was like Oh for God's sake Just a mouth full of pubes Yeah Like going down on someone

After you've had a few drinks You know you really And they've done Absolutely no prep Yeah yeah Yeah right Hold on And I was like, oh, for God's sake. Just a mouthful of pubes. Yeah, a mouthful of pubes. Like going down on someone after you've had a few drinks, you know, you're really rustling through to try to find them. And they've done absolutely no prep. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, right. Hold on. Might have to get a hand in here. Not even a courtesy trim with the kitchen scissors.

Okay, next question. I just turned and just caught three wide-eyed, open-mouthed producers just sort of like, absolutely not. Last question, and this comes to us from the lovely economist. This isn't the last question. What's with this giant paragraph gap here?

Led me to assume this was the last question. This feels like a classic Carwin shit show. I'm so sorry about that. Another classic Carwin shit show. She's not writing. What's the team's Favourite snack Food not person That's from Brad Olsen

Lovely Brad Olsen Economist Who's always with us On the show On the pod And always with us In our hearts and souls Individuals

Favourite snack Well you know I love Maltesers Recently the gold Maltesers Came out And they're delicious They're trash I'm a savoury boy

Through and through. Same. Bag of chips. Probably say like a block of Whittakers. Snack is hard. Snack. Producer Jared says someone's got to say latkes, but latkes are a meal component, not a snack.

That's a meal. Your favourite snack, Fletch, is fruit. He's got a sack of fruit he eats every morning. I do, yeah, I do. Yeah, keeps him regular though. Keeps him regular. Cheese balls. What about cheese balls? I do. Yeah, keeps him regular though. Keeps him regular. Cheeseballs. What about cheeseballs?

I love. That'd be your. I bring cheeseballs to most parties and everybody mocks me, but yet they're the chip that goes to first. I'm always reaching for them. Everybody eats them, but they all mock,

but they love them. But they eat. I don't know what my favourite snack is. I just love food. I just love food. You don't really have one though, do you? Nah, I like change. Sometimes I feel like savouryory sometimes I feel like a sweet

I go bag of chips Are we talking about what we're hitting on a charcuterie board Yeah cause I go the fanciest cheese with a beautiful Oaty cracker Those Oaty crackers I know the exact one you're thinking of They need a little bit more Structure You can't drag them through a dip

No way man not even sideways I tried to drag one sideways't drag them through a dip. No way, man. Not even sideways. I tried to drag one sideways like a fin through a dip and it crumbled, crumbled, crumbled and rumbled and it didn't do the job. So I don't know who makes them, but if you're in charge of any sort of crackers, could you maybe increase the structural integrity? That'd be great. Now, the last question, and this is somewhat I guess lends an

idea that I think we should run past the producers because Sophie's messaging, I'd genuinely be keen to hear from the producers both about their roles. As someone who produces a podcast, I always wonder what your process is there. They want to basically know what the fuck do you do

when you win weeks. It seemingly looks like we just have it It gets me to thinking One of these podcasts that we're recording for the holiday break That you are now listening to And I don't doubt for a second loving One of them could be The producers answer questions

Oh yeah What do you think about that And that's good because then we do this work It's one less for us to do bingo And that's the best part about it. And then there's also an interesting little peek behind the scenes. And if you listen to the podcast, you're probably more interested in the behind the scenes

than the average radio listener. Would you guys be up for that? Would you guys do a little podcast where you talk about... Yeah. Can you summarise each as a little tease? You're going to have to put a few more words together if you want to do your own podcast. Can you summarise each as a little tease? You're going to have to put a few more words together if you want to do your own podcast. Can you summarise each in one word what you do? What do you do?

Shannon, what do you do? One sentence. One word. One word. Video. Yep, I agree with that. There's far more to it, but that sums it up. One word.

You look at her thinking. No, we've got to produce a car one. Admin. Yeah, there's a lot more to it but that sums it up. Okay. Jared. Fixing. Yeah. There's a lot of time fixing. Okay, one word. Who's the cutest here?

Jared. No, there's many out of all of us. No, I was saying Jared go first and tell us who's the cutest. Okay, yeah, right. But also Jared's the cutest okay yeah right but also jared's the cutest um vaughn i knew i fucking knew he'd say pretty good i fucking knew it girlies uh some faces happening here fletch is pretty cute yes Yes. Take that bitch. Shannon's going to say you. I'm an ugly fucking dog. No. It's going to be a fence sit.

I find attractiveness based on connection and Hayley our cuddles are just quite special. We hold hands when we go to the toilet. We do and we have debates over interlocking

fingers or cubbing. That's a good question. That's a great silly little poll. Yeah. When you hold hands do you interlock fingers or do you cup hands? She went to hold hands with do you interlock fingers? I hate the interlocking. Or do you cut hands?

She went to hold hands with me and I started interlocking and she slapped my hand. What are you doing? Only interlocking with a partner. Yeah. No, but I don't interlock because Aaron's fingers are so much bigger than mine. Yeah. And so I'm too splayed. Pushed them apart.

Yeah. You get a little burning in the web. Yeah. The web's just getting stretched. Oh, Aaron. Oh, no. Stop. Okay.

Well, I look forward To the producers podcast Yeah me too Yeah And really figure out What they do Do you know what I mean Yeah
