From the Zedium podcast network, it's Fletchforn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Good Samaritan, Vaughn Smith here. Oh, hello. Hello. Self-described Good Samaritan. Oh, so no one actually gave you this title. No.

Okay. I was trying to think of who would. I just don't know who dishes it out. The Samaritans. The Samaritans. What is the story of the Samaritans? It's a Bible story, but the Samaritans were the good guys. Well, they told you who was the good person.

I don't know. What you're talking about? I was raised thoroughly heathen. Heathen. Although you went to a religious school and you were the only one of us that did. Yeah. But I was raised Catholic and Fletch. Heathen for a birth.

Oh, you have heathen through and through. Heathen. Like the people, the Jesus people on the street with the bookshelf, they never even, they don't even bother. They can feel the hate coming. Yeah, and the Mormons will cross the road on their bikes to get around them. Yeah. So I am a good Samaritan. I was going for a walk recently.

in the city my sidebar I haven't lived in the city for years I was going for a walk with a friend and I love smelling everybody's dinner Kallin agrees you're going around sniffing people's environments

walk around at dusk not only do people haven't shut their curtains or they've pulled the nets and they've got the light on and you get a little peek into everybody else's life you get to smell dinner yeah it's just fun being like

oh my god garlic when you smell a roast do you know like a good curry Yeah, I love a curry. Do you know what's crazier? Living in an apartment building. Yeah. It is wild, man.

And it all mixes together like a food court. Yeah. I love summer barbecue, because then you get people like cooking their saucies and onions on the barbecue, then you're like, it just sounds a bit pesty though, doesn't it? Walking around a neighbourhoods sniffing people's dinner. Huffing people's dinner. As an Auckland City rate-paying environment, I'm entitled to sniff your dinner.

I don't like that. I don't like that. I live rurally, but I'm paying for all these services that I don't get to use. I feel like I'm going to get it back by sniffing your dinner. Hello, Auckland City Council. Yes, hello. Manciss has come around to my backyard and sniffed my dinner. He was wearing an Auckland Council polo.

Hi, I'm here to sniff your dinner. And he said he was claiming back his rates through sniffing people's dinner. So I'm sniffing dinners, and I'm walking along. And then I see a car, I'm sniffing dinners, baby. I'm walking along. I see a car with an internal lights on. Like the kid, you know the one that you would, when you're a kid, you'd flick on. and your dad would be like,

and it'd swing his hand back and smack you. Smack you hard. It's illegal to drive it that light on. And we learn, it's not. It's just annoying. Yeah. And in the 80s, you were allowed to punish your children

for even slightly inconveniencing you. With physical force. Rather than educate them as to why it's not a great idea. So I saw that internal lights on, but I know that's a battery drainer. Yeah. So the car is parked right outside of house. There's a light on.

I sniffed their dinner on the way at the driveway. I knock on their door. What were they having? They were having, I don't know. It smelled. Yeah, yeah, nice. Probably stew. Yeah, maybe a shoe or something.

And then, so I knock on the front door. Dog sounds going fucking crazy. And this person comes to the door and they're like, hello? I said, hi. Someone's car is outside, right outside your house. White Subaru, internal lights on. And I just know someone's morning is going to be off to a terrible start when they've got a flat battery in the morning. You didn't have to do this.

I didn't start. I didn't have to. And the lady said, not my car. And I've never seen that car before. I said, when they have a visitor in the neighbourhood. No, okay Out here sniffing dinners Yeah

How they're sniffing on dinners And I said Any idea whose car it could be She said could be them They've got you know A couple of teenagers Maybe that's one of their friends or something So total off to the next house

Sort of rinse and repeat For seven houses Oh god I really tried I really tried Because I know how fucking Like It's happened to me a couple of times

Since we've been doing mornings You get in and the car Won't start Because of a battery issue And it's a real shitty way To start the day Because you feel like an idiot Yeah, something so stupid

You've got no one to blame but yourself For leaving the light on But I tried Seven houses, no success Would you have done this if you were by yourself Because it sounds like you're trying to impress someone here No, I just wanted to sniff some more dinners Yeah, no

To be honest, there was a couple of houses in that seven I didn't get to sniff their dinner So when I went up and knocked on the front door They opened the door, I've got a whiff of their dinner Yeah, yeah Nice I might go for a sniffy dinner walk Most, you know

Can I join you to come sniff some dinners? Please! Let's go for an evening suburban walk and sniff some dinner is.
