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 And we've been cross-wording, haven't we, during the show? We have been cross-wording, actually You've got a gigantic... where did you find this? This was in the Herald, but it's in the little pull-out reset

The Sunday one, yeah? Oh, the Sunday, so it's a massive one Huge! We've done About half of it. Oh, my God. Have we? Yeah. We started at the start of the show. And I must say, I've come up with some really good ones, haven't I?

We've all come up with some good ones. I've stuffed up this one here. What about 70 down alligator pear as in P.E.A.R.? Avocado. Is that what an avocado is also called? An alligator pear? It was what it was called, yeah. Very good.

Now, I have an unfounded accusation. Earlier in the show, I want to say between the six and seven hour, you raised a question. You said, you know, six down, five letters. And then Vaughan was on his computer and then he gave it three or four seconds and then he gave the answer.

Did you Google? For what one was that? I can't remember. Wait, were you Googling for any of them? computer and then he gave it three or four seconds and then he gave the answer did you google for what one was that i can't remember were you googling for any of them but i'm pretty sure and then he passed it off like he wrote he thought about it i do this sometimes aaron will be doing a crossword and he'll be like he'll chuck me randomly we're not doing it together but he'll just chuck me like what what's this? And I'll be like, isn't that, um, tabity, tab, tab. Colloquialism is the word I'm thinking of.

It's colloquialism. And you're like, and he'll check it. Oh my God. Perfect. My smart, beautiful partner. Did you Google?

I haven't, I haven't today, but I will totally do this with shut up. I need her to believe I'm smart. Yes, I need Aaron to sort of remember that I'm intelligent. Whereas today, I haven't even had a chance because Fletch has been so quick. He is quick.

It's the brain and gut health there. Fuck up. Fuck up, man. I sit here with a churning guts of IBS and I don't really hear it. I've been treating mine like a garbage tin of late and I can't think of it. I mean, maybe there's something in this,

but I don't want to hear about it. 55 down, large tent. Marquee. Marque it. I mean, maybe there's something in this, but I don't want to hear about it. 55 down. Large tent. Marquee. Marquee. Yeah. M-A-R-Q-U-E-E. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

God, we're a good team. Yeah, we are good. We're getting through this. Oh, that's interesting because we've just popped a Q in the middle of the word, so I'll just jump across there to 64 across. Let's make it a little... Bawdy. Bawdy?

B-A-W-D-Y. Oh. Something, something, something, Q, something, something There's gotta be a U after this Grotesque? No, it's too big How many letters is it? What does bawdy mean? Bawdy's like rowdy and isn't it?

Isn't it like bawdy's like I will Google, I am Googling No, you can't, you can't No, come up with synonyms, get away You're Googling literally now I'm gonna look Because now you've seen it. That's just coming out with Bordy Drive, which is something.

Don't Google it. We've got to get it on our own volition here. Bordy. My mother-in-law is tremendously fast with her. Do you know Bordy means dealing with sexual matters in a comical way, humorously indecent. Risqué. Risqué, yeah.

Indecent, risqué, racy, rude, spicy. I thought it meant like a bawdy gentleman. I suppose it does fit, but like loud and rambunctious. That's why I said grotesque. I thought it was gross. Which makes Frank candid. Okay. To be Frank.

We're a great team. We really are a great team. We should do this every day to keep the mind fit. We could call it the radio crossword. We do it on air. We really are a great team. We should do this every day to keep the mind fit. We could call it the radio crossword. We do it on air. We'll do the radio crossword. This will fill at least 10 breaks. I don't know if that's great listening, to be honest.

You don't think? It's just like a take on a quiz. Yeah, I don't know. It's just a take on a radio quiz. Day nursery. Kindergarten. No. Something, something, E, something, H, something.

I can't do it like that when she says something, something, something, but before I peed over her shoulder, I was getting them. No, I'm stretching your brain, your dumb little brain. I don't like it. It's done. It's done. Crache. C-R-E-C-H-E.

I don't know how to spell it. No, I was just confirming that was what you meant. I don't know how to spell it. Okay, one more, one more, one more. Okay, let me find what I've got some letters for. Okay, 41 across, cut short, something U, one more, one more. Okay, let me find what I've got some letters for. Okay, 41 across, cut short. Something U, something T, something I, something. It's so hard to do it this way.

Yeah, when you do it that way, it's cut short. Cut short. Something U. Can you keep doing it? How frustrating to listen to this. Quitted, says Jared. Quatted. Quatted.

Oh, no, that's Shannon. Sorry. Quitted. With an I at the end. Quitted. That's actually more something Shannon would say. Can you give it to me again? Blank?

Blank you. Yep. Blank T. Blank I blank. And cut short. Cut short. Quitted. No, quitted And cut short. Cut short. I mean, quitted. No, quitted with an I at the end.

For God's sake. Quitty, quitty. Quitted. No, it's not quitting because there's only one place after I. Definitely an I because I got pianissimo. Now, that's what I got. Cut short, button. B-U-T-T-I-N.

That's not an answer. Button. It works. But in. Two words. But in. But it hasn't given it to me. It doesn't say those two words?

In cut short. Cut short button. Cut short. Cut short. Mute. Malt. Malt. Mute.

Cut short. See, this is painful listening. Do you know what I mean? Because you, the listener, have it. You've got it in your brain. Well, you don't. It's not going to be a good radio segment. No.

I need a setting. Cut short. No, but what I'm saying is you would say something like, it's four letters. Don't get off Google, you shit. No. I can see him Googling. Yeah, I am.

Oh, okay, here we go. This is cheating. This was a cheap free crossword. No, none of these are giving me an option. Oh, curtail. Oh, for God's sake. We got there. Sorry, I just had to put the U-R-T-A-I-L.

We had to curtail. I feel like the put the R-T-A-I-L. We didn't get there. I just feel like the listener, that was painful for the dear listener. But we would have it easier. It would be like four letters, chicken, cloaca, produce. Egg. Z. Yeah, sure. Great.

What a cool segment. Yeah. Okay, maybe not.
