Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Now, over the weekend, producer Carwen had a, I'd say this is a wholesome pub crawl minus the pub. How the hell does that work? Just a crawl? Yeah, yeah, just crawling. Wow. No, so my cousin was visiting. She's a big show fan, actually. Oh, shout out, shout out. What's her name?

Melissa. Melissa, thank you for listening. Yeah. You really sound enthused by that. You really didn't say sincere. No, I was trying to make it play on words. Thank you for me listening. Thank you for me listening, Melissa.

That's nice. That's better. Yeah, beautiful. Anyways, and we did a bit of a pub crawl, but of bookstores. Oh! Yeah. Poopsies. A couple of fucking nerds.

A couple of big fat nerds on our hands. Call this nerd crawl. Could you have just chucked a bottle of wine in the purse, maybe? That would have been fun. We did stop for coffee. Oh, my God. That's so cool. A little coffee stop.

Stop for a Prosecco or an Aperol. Exactly! Have a mimosa. Or an Espresso Mart. No, no, this is the same. Books are you looking for? Well, so she works in books. She's a book buyer.

Oh my god, so she took a holiday to go and do more work. She went and saw some colleagues. I met some people. I made some connections. That would be like us going somewhere and doing a radio crawl. Yeah, going to all the stations. Yeah, fun. Fun.

What is it? I did do that when I was in America. It's the scan button on your rental car. Yeah, fun. Fun. Is it? What is it? I did do that when I was in America. It's the scan button on your rental car. Oh, yeah. Scan through all the radio stations. It's kind of similar, right? Yeah. So it's just a little trip through all the stations.

Yeah. Well, whatever. I had fun. I bought a lot of books. What did you buy? What did you buy? Give us a little rundown of some of the things you bought. Any that would be good for Hayley's Horny Book Club?

Because you know I'm smutting at the moment. Unfortunately, no. But I do have ating at the moment. Unfortunately, no, but I do have a book recommendation for that. Okay, good, good, good. Do bookstores now, are they actually

selling the smut? Yeah. Do they have sections, like you remember the old DVD stores had you go through the flaps or the curtains? No, it's not off

the shelves like that. It's just right there. Right there. Right there. All of them have very inconspicuous covers as well. It's a cute the shelves like that. It's just right there. Right there. Right there. All of them have very inconspicuous covers as well. Like, it's a cute, colourful cover of, like, a cartoon or whatever. And you're like, this is cute. I can definitely read this in public.

And then you open the first words and they are F-U-C-K. Throbbing manhoods and whatnot. Do you feel a bit naughty when you're in that section of the bookstore? Like, are you like, quick, I've got to pick quick. No, it's not. It's in the same section as all your other books. bookstore? Like, are you like, quick, I've got to pick quick. No, it's not. It's in the same section as all your other books. Oh, okay, right. I know, crazy, yeah.

So inconspicuous. Okay. Also, there's nothing to be ashamed of to read a bit of pornography. No, there's not, no. You know? On the bus. Bit of smut. On the bus.

So, how many bookstores did you crawl? I think about five. Holy shoot. That's so wholesome, isn't it? I didn't even know there were that many bookstores left. That's cute. Or did you just go to five Whitcalls at different points? No, no.

They were all independent bookstores. Oh, nice. Did you go to the woman's bookstore? Yes, of course. That's so good. I haven't been to that one. You're not allowed. I'm not allowed in.

No cocks. No, cocks are allowed in. It's just we're female focused. Yeah. Right. Majority of the authors are female. That was more of Fletcher's personality, being a cock. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Such female focused. Yeah. Right. Majority of the authors are female. That was more of a Fletcher's personality being a cock.

Such a cock. Yeah. Who's the last time you called someone a cock? Get out of here you bloody cock. My favourite one is the second hand bookstore that we have here in Auckland called Hard to Find Bookstore and it's just an entire

Is the bookstore itself hard to find, or is it the books that are in the store that are hard to find? They're missing a trick there. Oh, both. So it's just an old building that used to be run by the church or something, and you have to have a map to get around.

Oh, fun. I like that. It is so fun. Is it just a big building full of books? Is there a sign on the front of the street or the building saying Hard to Find Bookstore? Yes. See, they shouldn't have a sign.

The store itself. No, but it's in the middle of nowhere. It should be hidden. It should be hidden down an alley. Through a dumpster. What do they call those bars? Speak easy. I know this one.

Speak easy. It's so fun. And it's a little bit haunted. And one of the rooms we walked into and there's this big scary puppet man. And I feel like he's cursed me. Yeah, this is cool. This is cool. Do you know my favorite is Arty B's in Wellington. Secondhand man. Yeah, this is cool. This is cool. Okay. Do you know my favourite

is Arty B's in Wellington. Secondhand books. They do firsthand books. Great. Great books. What are you reading at the moment, Fletch? The newspaper.

Read that this morning when I got to work. You flicking thumb in some pages? Nah. I've got some recommendations for you guys. Nah.

Absolutely not. If you're into throbbing manhoods. No, I'm all right, thanks. No? If you're into entering things. What is the manhood that throbs? The penis. That's the cock.

Goodness me. Back to that. We've used that word too many times today, haven't we? Goodness me. So, okay, you did a bookstore crawl. Yeah. That's wholesome. Thank you. Wholesome. I had cocktails. Did it smell? did a bookstore crawl. Yeah. Wholesome. It's wholesome.

Thank you. Wholesome. I had cocktails. Did it smell? Like a real woman. Bookstores always smell. Only the secondhand one, but like in a nice way, like old books. Yeah, I love the stench of old pages.

It's delicious.
