Fleshborn and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod Great things are brewing at McCafe The perfect start to every day Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod Recently I was in Australia Which is a country significantly larger than ours If you're looking at a globe it's on our left or east It's where everyone in America thinks we're from

It's weird though that you've come back and you still haven't taken off that cork hat Well, flies are everywhere you know Yeah, It's weird though that you've come back and you still haven't taken off that cork hat. Well, flies are everywhere you know. Yeah, that's a great way You were only there for like a couple of days. Yeah, and I will be soon playing the didgeridoo

for you both. Okay, is that appropriate for a white man to do that? I'm not saying I invented it I'm saying I admire the people in the lab. Because you walked in and you said

oh my god guys I've come up with the coolest fucking instrument. I've hollered at a tree branch. Yeah, yeah. And you painted it as well, fully painted. It's quite beautiful.

Yeah. Okay, but. And you painted your face as well. I did. Lots of white dots and stuff. I did, I did. It just feels off. We did see,

and this just speaks to, we had a talk about it afterwards, but we did see in an airport, like a welcome to, and it had some Aboriginal people of the local tribe. Yeah. And they had the white, like, paint. Oh, yeah. Traditional paints. Yeah.

On the face. And my daughters thought someone had graffitied the sign. Oh, my God, I can't believe someone graffitied that sign. I was like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's the traditional. Then we had a good talk about it. Right. So that they don't say that sort of thing in front of other people and make it look like we're raising racists. Yeah, going up to an Aboriginal person saying, who graffitied your face? Yeah, yeah, right.

Let me get that for you. But Australian roadkill is so different. We get a rabbit, you get a possum. I love seeing a dead possum on the road here. Oh, yeah. I've got him. Got you, you bastard. I like the poo kicker. Yes. Die. You see the old hen, ferret or stoat? Yeah, oh, that's a good day.

You love seeing that. And it's young, but you're like, well, that's one less pest that's killing our native birds. Absolutely. It's destroying our native forests. Do you think that when you drive past a cat? No. I just tell myself it was a ginger possum. I say that too.

Me too. Oh my God, look at that. Floofy, grey and white ginger possum. That's a very cuddly looking ginger possum. In Ponsonby. Yeah, sure. It happens. It happens.

There's other possums. That possum's wearing a collar. How weird. But kangaroo. We saw a full, a dead,-sized six-foot kangaroo. That'd bloody flip your car. It'd ruin you. The chimney wouldn't handle it.

Oh, no, actually you would handle it more so. The chimney would plunge it into next week. Yeah. How big? Like, massive. It looked like a sack full of stuff on the side of the road. And as we got closer, like, we saw it from ages back. And as we got closer, we saw it from ages back and as we got closer i was like oh is that it is oh wow and i kept quiet because i don't want to

freak anybody out and then we went past i said to shut it you see that kangaroo and so the rush was like no oh and then andy was like what it's like kangaroo and we were coming back along that road later in the day and everybody's eyes were peeled for it. I thought they were going to say it was gross or get real sad about it, but they're just like, that is insane. That is so wild. It's like bloody hitting a Kaimano or horse. Yeah, they're massive.

Those bloody things are huge. How do you not? How do you hit it? Because they just run across the road and they happen so quick. I reckon you wouldn't even see it. There's a truck, like two mountains across Australia. When they say you shouldn't swerve to avoid them because you'll just kill yourself

ramping around a tree or a power plant I swerve to avoid a bloody sparrow I'm terrible. I'm going to make a straight through them I remember when I first started dating Sade I was driving her remember that GSR Lancer she had she used to be a girl racer it was a rocket it was turboed it was insane

that's so funny. She would let me drive it, and that was quite nice when we first started seeing each other. And, I mean, this is a Hamilton love story. It's beautiful. This is a Hamilton love story. It brings a tear to my eye. It's the Dinsdale notebook. I knew she was the future mother of my children

when she'd let me drive her Lance in. Oh, my god. Live a life a quarter mile at a time. Her life could be so different. People always say she got a run-down villa and restored it. I rescued her from a trash pile.

Yeah. I rescued her from what could have been. She's a rescue. She's a plastic bag wife. She's a rescue cat. Good looking rescue cat, but she's a rescue cat.'s a plastic bag wife. She's a rescue cat. She's a rescue cat, but she's a rescue cat. Yeah. Okay, so if I'm a run down old villa

that she's restored, she's a rescue cat. And now, now eats bloody fresh meat. Yeah. She gets jimbos. She gets jimbos every night.

Oh, she'd turn her nose up at the bloody rescue slum. Yeah. You've built her a fucking cat tower. I have. And a scratch post. Yeah, I have. I'm getting a regular vet checkup. You're a hero. You are a hero. I am a hero. It's tower. I have. And a scratch post. Yeah, I have. I'm getting regular vet checkups.

You're a hero. You are a hero. I am a hero. That's beautiful. I'm the good guy here. Adopt on shop. I'm the good guy here. You don't even know what her makeup is.

She's a complete mongrel, but. No. No idea. No idea. I don't want a 23 and me. It's the mystery that gets me. Yeah, totally. So when I first started seeing her, I remember we were driving and a rabbit ran out and I

didn't even like flinch. I just tore through it. She was like, and was absolutely taken aback. I've been in the car with her when, yeah, like you say, a bird or a hawk didn't take off from Roku. Oh my God, me, me, hawks. You're just like, Jesus, get out of the way. Yeah.

Don't squirt. And even if it doesn't, it's not worth killing us. Go straight through it. Well, who's to say that our life is more valuable than that hawk's? I will definitely stand by that statement. Oh, yeah. Wow. Yeah.

Straight through them. Maybe it's not a kangaroo or a carmine or a horse. Did you see any? Oh, my God. I've seen a horse dead on the side of the road. I don't think it was hit. I think it was just a horse dead on the side of the road. I don't think it was hit. I think it was just a horse. It is so wild to see a horse on its side.

They're massive. And it was like stiff-legged, like a comedy horse. Like rigor mortis. Like on its side like that. And we were all like, oh! I was with a marching team. Everyone was like, oh my God, no! Was it in New Zealand?

It was in what's out of Dunedin, Mozgill. Oh. Classic Mozgill. Someone was probably coming What's Out of Donita, Moz Girl. Oh. Classic Moz Girl. Someone was probably coming back for that. Take it home to eat it. You're beautiful. Like a rocking horse? Yeah.

No, eat it. There was a guy at drama school that used to eat horse. He used to cook it in the room. Well, lots of cultures. Like the common kitchen. We drew the line at the horse when it comes to eating animals. Yeah. Absolutely.

He was just real into it. Deer? You bet. Yeah. Horse? Oh, no real into it. Deer? You bet. Yeah. Horse? Oh no. I'm a cheeky naggy girl. You know?

I'd eat horse. I'll put it out there. I'd eat horse. It'd be a lot of meat on that. Yeah. How many nuggets could you get out of one horse? Millions. Mouly up some horse. Millions.

Yeah.
