The ZM Podcast Network. Fletchbourne and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with MyMackers Rewards. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Oh, I don't like that. I don't like that. I hate it. Now, our producer, Carween, has a problem.

And, Vaughan, you've got a solution, but she's not happy. No, she is riddled with problems. Karween messaged me at the weekend saying do you have a trailer? And I said no, are you buying me one? He seems like a trailer guy. He does seem like a big trailer energy. I'd love a trailer. I'd love a trailer. He wants one

bad. Just get yourself one. Yeah, I really should. No, that's a lethal combination of a tow bar and a trailer because then you're going to get really ripped into everything. And then she said, I've got to get this couch to the dump and sent me a photo of the couch. And I was like, what are you taking that couch to the dump for?

You're going to be paid. They're just going to put it in their shop where they sell things that aren't bad enough to go in landfill. Yeah. Just put it on the side of the road with a sign that says free on it and I guarantee it'll be gone in five minutes. Yeah. But it's broken a little.

It does not matter to people. They'll just prop it up with the yellow pages. The leg is fixed now. George's partner fixed it. All right. But the piece that- Only because George broke it. Yeah, no, yeah.

He didn't do it out of the goodness of his own heart. The piece that the leg screws into that's attached to the frame of the couch. Someone will fix that. Someone will fix that. It's loose. It's wobbly. They'll just sit a brick underneath it. They don't give a shit.

It's free. I remember once- And Carl was like, no one will take it and then I'll get in trouble for putting it on the side of the road. I was like, don't let it get wet

because then it's going to be very, very heavy. Yes. But absolute, people take any amount of shit off the side of the road. I just literally believe there's people who drive around

looking for stuff for free on the side of the road. Yeah. And you live on quite a busy road. Like, it's a main road. Yeah, and it's quite a busy road. So I reckon you could easily put a sign free on it. And then if no one takes it at the end of the day, put it back inside. I remember once when I moved flats when I was at uni, I had a couch, like a blue couch, and I called the Salvation Army.

And I was like, can you come pick it up? Yes, yes. Which was genius. And they came and they were like, ooh, no thanks. Yeah, because of the stains, jizz stains. It was literally like shrouded in jizz. Could you put the blue light over it? Yeah.

The Salvation Army will bring a blue light and some of that spray. Yeah. I'll give it a spritz and a blue light, and they'll be like, oh, no, thank you. The good Lord's Army can't be selling jizz couches. Jizz couch. Yeah, because of the jizz is illegal. We can't even give a jizz count discount on a jizz couch. Well, that's how Mary got pregnant, wasn't it?

It wasn't a make-up concept, she sat on a jizz couch. But the problem is that this is why they have a hard role about jizz couches and jizz beds, is because people use these free, you know, the... As dumping grounds. As dumping grounds. Oh, I know, I know. And then they end up with a bed that's covered in jizz that they can't sell. You've got fleas, jizz and a broken leg.

And the dump needs to be cutting these op shops a break when people just dump all their stuff on there. They're a charity for crying out loud and the dump's charging the full price to go and dump the shit. So you can actually pay these little trucks that come around, a junk run I think one of them's called that I've used. This couch is not expensive. But that's how much it costs to hire a trailer and go to the dump.

No. That's why I wanted Vaughn's trailer. No, that doesn't exist. I promise you it will go. You can put any weird shit on the side of the road. You can put a pile of old wood full of nails on the side of the road and someone will see it and be like, firewood. I've just got to knock those nails out.

Done. What about Marketplace? It's $1. Yeah, maybe I just put it on Marketplace. I'm on Marketplace now, just having a little look. The thing about Marketplace is you've got to deal with people, whereas if it's just on the side of the road, they swoop by with the van and or trailer and pick it up. Next fine day, sign

that says free, put it out, it'll last two hours. Yeah, I reckon I agree. When I put something on the road with a sign that said free on it, I don't know why, but in my mind I expected it was upon them to take the sign as well. And then when they took it, I came outside and they just chucked it on the ground. The sign? The sign that said free.

Yeah, I wouldn't take the free. I wouldn't take the sign. I wouldn't probably just put it in my own bin because I just got something for free. But this person just literally frisbeated it at my fence. Yeah. That was a bit rude rude I reckon start a fire light a fire yeah that's the other option

if no one picks it up just douse it in kerosene light a match and walk away we can't be lighting fires yeah but it's West Auckland so it's very similar

it's honestly quite it's basically the same it's didn't even without the students yeah well if anyone wants a free couch in West Auckland

let me know well what's your phone number well no we've just literally said we've just literally said it's covered in jizz Carl no one wants your couch If anyone wants a free couch in West Auckland let me know What's your phone number? We've just literally said it's covered in jizz No one wants your couch It's such a nice couch It's actually a very nice couch Why are you getting rid of it then?
