Fleshborn and Hayley's Little Bitter Pod Great things are brewing at McCafe The perfect start to every day Welcome to the Little Bitter Pod Why are you chuckling? Jared just told us off And his stern voice Also, you, we were just on air

And you said to me, I'm in Wellington by the way I'm in a different studio so I can't see your faces You said to me, oh my god Vaughn just said the most outrageous thing and I can't say it on air. And then you went on air and you haven't effing told me. Okay, we won't say who it was about but what Fletch said was...

No, I don't know. Don't say that. Come on, I need to know. He said, that person looks like they're being a character being played by David Williams. Or like the white chicks. Yeah. That's what he said.

It was more the fact that it was terrible makeup. You know the makeup was really white. So you were being a little bitch. I was being a little bitch. I was being a bitch and I do apologize. You were being a bitch. Now you ran afoul of, you've been in trouble with airport security twice in a

week. First it was, and we talked about this, the adult fun toy you got x-rayed and he did see it. I put that in check-in this time. Did you? With his living battery. You know what, I'm not going through that again. You'd rather bring down a plane. Yeah, it's not going to explode, it's fine. I thought they were very

professional about it. Yeah, they were. I will say, they were very professional. It was us all giggling and yelling and squealing like immature children. We were the unprofessional ones. We needed to grow up, yeah. Well, so I, speaking of batteries, I am down here doing my show and I have a guitar. And if you want to play it wireless, it takes six AA batteries. And so I was like, oh, fantastic.

I'll, you know, get some batteries. So I sent Aaron out and he bought it. That's how it works. He bought a 20-pack of, like, good batteries. It's the best and most budget-conscious way to buy batteries. 20-pack. I wait until they're on special and get a 20-pack. Yeah.

So he bought a 20-pack of batteries and that was $35. And then he brought them home and I took them out of the case, put them in the keytar. Then I was like, great, that's all working. Then I got the keytar, took them out of the keytar to check it in. And then I put them into a little bag. Right. And I was like, I'll pop that in my hand luggage and I'll take it out of there and I'll pop it in the tray

so they know what they are. Then that gets pulled over at Auckland Airport and he said, what's in here? I was like, batteries. And he was like, are they loose? And I said, well, yeah, I've put them in a little pouch for you, sir. And he said, no, I'm going to confiscate those. And he took all 20 batteries.

What? And I was like, where are they supposed to go? Because we Googled it on the website. And it was like in your hand luggage. And he said it's got to be in the original packaging. Oh, bullshit. What a load of shit. That can't be right.

So they don't touch each other and start a fire? Would that be the only reason? But they're touching each other in the plastic. Not end on end you know like that feels homophobic that they're saying that you know well they can't all be touching that way well that must be why though oh my god it sucks so then i was like okay great then so yesterday i went out and i bought another 20 pack of batteries from the supermarket but i went to a different supermarket, $38. So now we're over $70. We're at $73 on batteries.

And I turn up and I'm telling the tech at the theatre, oh, my God, this battery issue. He's like, oh, we've got rechargeables here. Rechargeable AA's? Yeah. God, I haven't seen those for a while. Oh, I wouldn't trust her. I don't trust rechargeables.

Neither do I. I don't think they charge properly. No. I don't think they've made rechargeable AA batteries since the 1990s. Every family had a battery charger in the 90s. Yes. We thought we were so fancy. You'd pop it in and it'd be green light, ready to go, baby.

Back in the remote control car for five minutes of unprecedented speed. And then back in the charger for three hours to get them done. And then do that six times and the battery won't hold its charge anymore. Yeah. I know. Well, I six times and the battery won't hold its charge anymore. Yeah. I know. Well, I've spent $70 worth of batteries. Some lucky person at security in Auckland has, you know, some unused, fresh, charged up batteries.

And my apologies to the planet. Do you remember the batteries? Do you remember the batteries? That you put your tongue on? No, that you'd push your thumb on. Yes! And then halfway up the thing you'd push your thumb on and then halfway up the thing you'd push another one

to show you how much charge the battery had left? Yes! That was fancy. It was fancy. What a waste of fucking resources. I always thought it was

draining the battery every time you checked. It did. Surely it must have. And only in small increments but it must have. Yeah. It must have.

Well, thanks for screwing the planet. Yeah, you're welcome. I'm just ditching 40 batteries into the earth. Open up, Mother Nature.
