From the Zedium podcast network, it's Fletchhorn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. I got a message from a good friend of mine. And she said, prepare the tissues. This is no time for a week. I've got the... Oh, boy. Time for a week.

This is no time for it. I've got the show. By the way, there's a box of tissues in the studio at all times. And I've bought this one again, Haley. Yeah. I reckon you're three boxes in to my one. How will financially, how will he ever recover? You know what?

It's not about the financials, Vaughan. It's about the fact that Haley does not take responsibility. No, you're right, I don't. She goes to the supermarket all the time and she doesn't think, I'll buy a box of tissues for the studio, even though I dropped how many hints last week that we were low? Multiple. So low on tissues.

And we ran out and surprise, surprise, no tissues from the sprawl. Yeah. Vorn, you don't really use our tissues. No, I don't. A dry nostril. Yeah, and I'll just use one of those gruntier at paper towels. If I do have a blowy nose, because I'll blow it straight through those. I love blowing my nose into a hand towel. Me too.

The ones that work are really hard on the nose. But at home, I buy a... I go all out on the hand. When you're really sick, you need a hand towel. Yeah, yeah, thick. Tissues, and you go, it just goes all the way through it. Yeah. Handy andy.

Well, I didn't need the tissues, but this was quite a... And then they sent me a screen recording of, because when you guys won't know this, but when you've got kids, each facility they go to has an app. And at daycare, they love this is what we're doing today. And this is a drawing. Oh, leave me alone. Drop them off. I don't care.

Jesus Christ, this is my moment of peace. So I got for Hugh, that's my friend's son. Yeah. During Matt time today, this is a screen cap of Hugh's app. Yeah. During Matt time today, Hugh excitedly a shed a story. about his weekend with the class. He told us he spent time with his favourite uncle.

Oh! Is that you? This guy. Technically not an uncle. Not an uncle. Like a friend uncle. Friend uncle. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He told us he spent his... Guncles, his... Like, gunkles, the gay uncles. The funcles are fun uncles. Just turn up for 10 minutes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then get a photo. Get a photo for Grindr.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then leave. And then leave. Yeah. His favorite uncle, he described his... very silly and always doing fun things with him. That's you. Hugh laughed as he explained one of his favorite moments.

His uncle rolled him up in a mat and then pulled the mat from under him, making Hugh fly out in a human burrito. Now, this is a game I used to play with my kids. Human burrito. You get the biggest blanket you've got in the house. Yeah. And you fold it to their height, excluding head. Yep.

And then you wrap, you roll them super, super tight. Barito. Yeah. And I just used to do it on the couch. And then the girls would be in it. And you just go, and just rip it and they spin around heaps of times and the longer the blanket the more spins you'll get out of it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's good stuff. So I was like, I haven't done this for ages because, you know, your kids are too old. Ten age girls don't want to be a human burrito. So I taught Hugh the human breeder and it was one of those things you do it once and it was just like, you're going to have to do that a thousand times. Like when an adult would spin you round by the arms.

Yeah, or anything. Yeah. And you're like, I'm going to need that again. Would I be too big for a human breeder? Because I would quite like this, I think. I think we could do it together. Yes. Together.

And you want a double corner inch. Oh, okay, right. My kids have got this blanket. It's impossibly large. Perfect. I think it came from Costco. You know, Costco will just be like, hey, we're making a 20-foot blanket,

and there's fuck all you can do about it. Yeah, yeah. And you're like, you're going to want it. Yeah, yeah. I've never seen a blanket so big. That's ridiculous. I have absolutely no practical purpose for that. I'll take two.

Pillow floor. Yeah, I must have that. They'll be great for a pillow for a pillow fort. and fantastic for an adult-sized human burrito. Okay, well bring it in. I'd love to try that. The class giggled as Hugh demonstrated the motion with his hands and described how funny and thrilling it felt.

I'm sorry, who the fuck is writing this? The teachers. Chat GPT. Are you kidding me? Like, their job used to be just go and clean up the Play-Doh and put the Play-Doh out for the kids and watch that don't eat too much sand in the sandpac. And now they've got to write fucking essays all day.

Daily reports. Are you kidding me? Nah, chat GPT will do it. He went on to share other fun activities they did together, telling stories with enthusiasm and using expressive language and gestures to bring the moments to life. Oh my God.

Apparently was up there delivering one hell of a sermon. The kids were loving it. They were asking him heaps of questions. Favorite uncle. Favorite uncle. Yeah. The fun uncle. He demonstrated the confidence as he spoke in front of the group.

How about that? Well, this is getting a bit loaded bullshit, is it? It's sort of like, hopping on. Yeah. Q3. Demonstrated confidence as he spoke in front of the group. Listen to others and responded to their curiosity about his story. It's too much.

And then they do like what the learning. Anyway, we basically just need to go back to the first sentence. Keep it a sentence. We told a story about it. He told a story about it. He's working with his favourite uncle. Yeah, and then nibbled on some Play-Doh. That's what happens.

Yeah, but piss himself at some point. So, I'm not a good Play-Doh nibble. It's nice and salty. It's so salty. Sometimes you just need that. I can taste it right now. Yeah, yeah, and I can smell it. Take the lid off.

Oh, I can smell it. I can taste it.
