Fleshborn and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod Great things are brewing at McCafe The perfect start to every day Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod I went back to my old house yesterday The one you lived in before this? The one I lived in five and a half years ago

Stop being a pest, why did you do this? The people we sold the house to have sold the house on I got this message like over summer and it was this lovely lady. Your house has been flipped again. It's been flipped due to a separation, so not great. Not the return one would hope on a house in Auckland. But anyway, a lovely lady messaged me saying, Hello, we're looking to buy your old house.

Oh, yeah. Apparently the real estate agent was like, you know, who renovated this house? The guy from the radio. No. You know, the guy from the radio, his wife. The guy from the radio wouldn't have done this good a job. Yeah, right. The guy from the radio would have just gone, everything would have been white and plain

and the cheapest possible building materials. And lots of shelves for Star Wars. Tons of shelves for trinkets. Plinths. So she messaged me. She's like, this is your house. And can you just not give me the real estate agent spiel? Oh, yeah.

I'm not selling the house anymore. I like that she's done this. Yeah. I was just like, straight up, I love that house. I was so sad to leave it. It was our first home. We renovated it. We cut a few corners. Cut all the corners. Nothing's consented. It was our first home. We renovated it. We cut a few corners.

Cut all the corners. Nothing's consented. Don't look too close. It's leaky. I said, the neighbours were amazing. Yeah. It was where we had our kids. Yeah.

Our first house we'd ever owned. I was like, I love that house. Can't say anything bad about it. Loved it. And she was like, oh, that's cool. And then she messaged me a little while later saying hey we bought the house oh cool that's awesome

nice let me know if you've got any questions oh god damn you're too involved you're too involved she hasn't had any questions and then she messaged me

the other day saying how long ago did you move out of this house I said five and a half years ago she's like we've just got a package with your name with your wife's name on it what

your wife and a cat and it was our cat Cheeto that we'd never had at that house. Oh. Very unusual. Is this a PR agency sending you some cat biscuits? It's a PR package. Oh.

Five and a half years to the wrong address. So they haven't sent you anything in five and a half years? Nothing. Yeah, I know. Blacklist. Yeah. And she said, I'll just leave it outside. Pop it in the letterbox. I don't want to intrude. And she said, no, no, no, around again I said I don't know Pop it in the letterbox

I don't want to intrude And she said No no no no And feel free to have a look around Oh my god I did it Okay I did it

But the minute I walked in I was just like Holy shit this is my old house Yeah such a weird feeling Such a weird feeling And then I looked in And I was like Wait a minute

That's not our furniture Yeah Like seeing somebody else's stuff In the house And we picked everything And it must be really weird If you went back to my house Because your style and taste is so eclectic. Yeah.

And your color choice and everything else was. We did go grayish walls on the inside, which people were always like, I love this gray. Because I freaked out when Shardie was like, I want to do gray walls. Yeah, it was nice. It was nice. It was like a warm gray. Yeah, beautiful. Yeah, it was just so weird.

And it felt, well, we've got a much bigger section now It felt small And I was like, oh my God Remember when my lawns used to take me 20 minutes? Now my lawns take me like a whole day It's so strange You feel almost territorial Yeah

I had it Because I had the same A package arrived And the guy was gone And he was like, just pop over And grab it off the doorstep And you walk in And you're like peeping through the window

And I just looked at them and I was a bit like, oh my God, my dad made those. My dad made those. My dad made those.
