Fuck, that sucked. And Wahailey's version. Yeah, overseas listeners won't even know that song. Oh, yes, they will. No, they won't. Shall I put it on in the background? I mean, you can do. We've been talking about holidays and airports,

and I completely forgot to mention something that I saw when I came back from Australia like two months ago. What did you see in Australia? So, you know, at the Auckland airport, they've... Oh, Vaughan, here it is. Oh, my God, it's a... It's a Kiwi classic. Kiwi classic.

April Sun in Cuba by Dragon. My mum's cousin's in this band. Really? Mark Williams. Convincing. Yeah, cool claim to fame. Mark Williams? Mark someone?

Mark? Yeah, definitely mum's cousin. Mum's cousin? The City of Life. Summer's on the run. Great, great song. When you come back into Auckland Airport, there's two lanes. Do you have something to declare

And you go down through under the stairs And they'll give you a sticker on your passport Which by the way is really cool If you're trying to peel it off When you peel off the sticker It goes void void void void void So you can't re-stick it on your passport I haven't seen that

Yeah I had one of those stickers But I haven't seen the void void void void Did you pull it off Yeah Yeah when you pull it off it changes Which matches Because that's what I was like I can peel this off I wonder't see the void, void, void. Did you pull it off? Yeah. Yeah, when you pull it off, it changes. I'm always just like, which magic? Because that's what I was like, I can peel this off. I wonder how easy it would be to get it back on.

Oh, I saw someone with like six or seven of those stickers on top of each other. I'm like, you must peel off immediately when you leave. Oh, peel off. It's going to have a sticky residue. Yeah, you don't want a sticky residue on your passport. So that's the easy way to get out. And I think I, because I didn't have any checked bags, I was out of the airport in like two minutes.

It was so quiet. Yeah, me too. But that lane where they don't scan your bags, biosecurity-wise, it's just a lane, and there's always a beagle sniffing for your, I don't know, your fruit. Do not pet the dogs. They're fruits, eh?

Fruits and all kinds of, yeah. There's different sorts. There's drugs, there's fruits, and there's money. And they can smell if you've got too much money. And so for the first time ever, I saw a woman get pulled up by this beagle. So they sit down by your bag, eh? So at the end, there's like a little booth,

and they had her bag, and the contents of her bag strewn over the table. Ciggies. Packs and packs of ciggies. She loves ciggies. Loose packs of ciggies. She loves ciggies. Loose packs of ciggies. Because you're not allowed to bring those in, right? Not technically, no.

There's a limit. There's a limit. I mean, she's in the... It's like the duty-free limit. Yeah, she's in the... It's two packs in New Zealand. Oh, okay, no. There were like five or six or seven packs.

And that was what they'd only pulled out. Because you can't get the cartons anymore. Because our limit went down. It is. It's like two packs on your person and two cartons anymore. Because our limit went down. It is. It's like two packs on your person and two in the luggage. It's like, you have a carton. It's nothing. The carton, you can't do cartons anymore.

Like 10 packs or 20 packs. In New Zealand. You see them overseas, Adeb. Like, I think I sent you a photo because you love a drinking diary. You love a drinking diary. I was like, Hayley, look how much ciggies are in South America. Like five bucks for like a whole carton. I was like, Jesus.

I definitely, when I went to, I don't encourage cigarettes at all. No, neither. I don't encourage vaping or cigarettes. But I do. They're pretty cool. You look pretty cool smoking ciggies. I look pretty sick

and they're delicious when I'm boozed. But I've definitely filled a, not filled, but put in dozens into a suitcase when I left India because they were like a buck, a pack. And then I've definitely brought some home from Thailand. I just wanted some champagne.

You are such an ordinary girl. It's a money-making scheme. Well, yeah, they get you. They get you. But if they don't, chape sacks. And then those cigarettes they confiscate, that's the beagle's treat. It gets one.

Oh, yeah, for his hard work. They give a beagle a bit of everything that the beagle catches. Yeah It gets one. Oh, yeah, for his hard work. They give a beagle a bit of everything that the beagle catches. Yeah. Beagles are like chefs. They think they shouldn't be smoking because it'll affect their, in a chef's case, be able to taste. And in a beagle's case, maybe it would affect its smell. But it doesn't.

It just raw dogs the city. Sometimes straight up, it's nice. One in each hole in the nostril. It's like. As he works. Yeah, yeah. Sometimes you'll see the beagle Coming back in from his cigarette break

With a little smoke in his mouth And he'll be like Let's get back to sniffing And he'll keep the smoke in his mouth And they have to let him Because he's a beagle But no patting the beagle Do not

Do not pat the beagle No touching No touching
