From the ZDM podcast network, it's Fletch Vaughn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. And Vaughn is happening. What's happening? No, no, no, I'm not sure. Haley's joining me in buying clip-clop shoes for the cycle classes at the gym. Love me still. Love me still.

Listen, listen. After, and I tell you what, after Haley has given me so much shit over the years. I don't mind clip-clop shoes if you're on the bike on the open road. What's the difference? Trucks. Trucks. Trucks and corners. It's not about trucks and corners.

It's about trucks and corners. It's about trucks and corners. It's about white lines. Yeah. No, I can see it. I can see it. Please don't wear them into the gym. I'm so fucking embarrassed about it.

Carry them in a gym bag. Be really embarrassed about it. It is my own personal shame. The thing is like my sneakers are just sneakers, like normal sneakers and they kind of fled like most gym shoes have a good grip on them, that kind of thing. Yeah, and especially now, like, gym shoes, like, all the cool shoes have big soles. Big soles and stuff. And I like the way they look.

And when you got clip-clot shoes, because you were doing so many spin classes, I was so embarrassed. And every time I would do a spin class with you, I was so embarrassed, watching you, like, slip out of your gym shoes and put these awful things on. And then I've been doing spin classes more frequently in the last, like, month or two. She's, I just, you know, I did let out a very public morning. that I am getting hot and it's happening I have been receiving

messages from people saying thanks fill the heads up yeah yeah for sure yeah and I like and I just remember how much I love it and I've just each time been struggling with my fucking shoes in the spin bike and being like

gripping and you've got to like strap the mid and then really crank the crank that soldier boy yeah crank that soldier boy that's exactly what I was going to say

that's what the song's about I wasn't going to say crank the harness down to lock in your shoe. No, no, you crank the soldier boy. Crank that soldier boy. And sometimes my toes get numb as a result of the crankage. And so by the end of the class, it's not comfortable.

Yeah. And I just, I don't know, I just looked down at your fucking god-awful clip-clop shoes. And how you just clicked in and on. And I just thought, I don't know. But I did find Haley some nice Adidas. Yeah, like not so. And only, you know. Terrible.

And not expensive. they were on sale they were like 50% off Yeah they weren't bad Probably because nobody wants to buy them Because they're so fucking ugly I don't know I just don't know if I can be that woman You know I just don't

Right But the thing is you could carry them into the class In a bag so no one at the gym knew They're still awful They're still look at that on my foot Yeah They're so slim and so It's not you

It is you It is you Well anyway I'm glad that you've come over to team me? I don't know yet. Listen. Because I don't wear light cream. I'm not one of those embarrassing cycle people.

No, no, no, no. I'm not wearing lycra. We're t-shirt and shorts. Yeah, but then just clip-clop shoes. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. This is like a real like moment in life for me.

Yeah. I'm like, is this where I tip over? Especially now that you're 36. Yeah, exactly. You know, like you're not cool anymore. Nah, I'm irrelevant. I'm old. I'm washed up and now I've got clip-clop shoes for a more enjoyable ride.
