The ZM Podcast Network. Fletchbourne and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Who out of us three is the biggest tight ass? You. You. Vaughan's more of a tight ass than I am.

No. Hell no. No I'm not. You're a tight ass. Vaughan has a family and a wife and a pretty big piece of land and he still buys things and goes out and has a nice time. But they suck money out of you. You have to pay for them.

You don't even- But you've got no choice. Buy the fucking boots, you know? Yeah, you haven't seen people with those boots yet. Buy the boots. I'm not buying the boots. You're the tight ass. I'm going to buy you the boots.

And it's annoying me that you're not buying the boots. They look so good on you. No, I'm going to say Vaughn is the biggest tight ass. No. How many times has he not come out to dinner or lunch? Because he hates socialising. Yeah, that's way more about how many people are there and where it is. And if I'm like, I've used all my social credit for the week.

I love that I'm not even in this debate. You're frivolous. I would describe you as frivolous. Yeah, absolutely. But Tydar Smithy, you've used work to get something fixed. Well, I'm trying to get something fixed. Okay. Listen, do you know what he's doing?

Is this your stereo? Yeah, nearly 20 years ago I got a stereo. It was a pretty good stereo. Yeah, but I saw it when you brought it in the other day. It's big boy A. I remember those stereos. The thing is you don't need something that big now. Get a boom.

Back in the day you did if you wanted a decent stereo system. You dropped money on big speakers. Yeah, big hi-fi. You had an amp. Yeah. Now it's all just in a sound bar. Now it's just a microchip and it comes out of your mouth. I haven't been using that stereo because it is so big and it didn't fit in the cabinet we've got under the TV.

And I was like, I want it out in the garage. Oh, my God. Yeah, we've got one in the garage. Like a big... With like vintage amp speakers and stuff. That's such a dad thing. Oh, listen to my music in the garage. Yeah, I'm going to go to the shed.

I'm going to go to the shed and listen to my shed podcasts. Yeah. And so I built out of pallets this... I mean, I can see the tie-dye thing now as I said that. Out of pallets this like shelf for it to sit on. And I got it all sorted and I was like, this is cool. And it's got caster wheels on the bottom so you can wheel it over and wheel it around and move it as you need to. Why do you need to move your stereo?

Well, who knows, but it's always good to have the option. And then I was like, it's all done, wired it all up, turned it on and it wasn't working. So then I was like it's all done wired it all up turned it on and it wasn't working so then I did that thing do you ever like like YouTube Onkyo PX744 stuck in standby and there's some old boy

that's like hello and the video's like 25 minutes and you're like this could probably be 7 and then I just find the bit where

they're about to yeah the spike the Pornhub spike the Pornhub spike that's where the shit's really I got the Pornhub spike. Yeah, so if you find that, that's where the good stuff is. Yeah.

He's like, you need to replace the transistor. Basically, that's the story, is that the power's getting to it, but then the button you click tells the next thing that it can start receiving power. And I got a little voltmeter, and I was trying to find it. I found out the part that's dead. A voltmeter? Yeah. Wow.

A voltmeter's fun. You're not a sparky. No, I got the voltmeter when I was trying to solve a problem out the part that's dead meter yeah wow voltmeter's fun sparky no i got the voltmeter when i was trying to figure solve a problem with the land rover because i was trying to figure out why something wasn't working and see again it was another youtube video just don't take it to a mechanic i just take it to a mechanic you're a tight you are the biggest tight ass on the show i had an afternoon right so i was like That's how I spend my afternoon Trying to solve this problem Before spending hundreds of dollars Yeah And it's a bit of fun

Like it's a hobby Yeah it's a hobby It's a muck around So that's why I had the voltmeter So I found it exactly Where it's out Right So I've taken it to some guy

Who apparently comes into work On Mondays And for nothing Just likes fixing things He's an old mate like you He's an old mate He's like Is he retired

But he still wants to Dip his pool in the Dip his to dip his pool in the... Dip his what? Dip his pool in the toe. Dip his something in the pool. He doesn't dip his pool. He brings his whole pool and dips it into a toe. Oh, God.

Yeah, he does. Fancy. He brings his whole pool. Yeah, so I went and dropped it off. And so, wait, you're not going to have to pay for this. The dude can talk. Yeah, well, he knows his stuff. I know this guy's the guy that fixes our headphones all the time.

Yeah, he knows his stuff. Oh, really? Great man. He told us how he did a test because the line people wouldn't come out to check his telephone line because they said it was his fault. So he jimmied something up that proved it was their fault. And then they had to come and fix it. He's a great man.

He fixes everything. I like him. He's a really clever guy. So yeah, it's upstairs with him, the surgeon. And you're not paying anything for this. I don't know, but this is- Are you going to give him a present? I said, what does he drink?

And they said he doesn't drink. So immediately now, that's harder. Earl Grey tea bags. Some Box of Roses. Yeah, Box of Roses and some Twine. But he might be a diabetic. That's what a lot of older people do, don't they? As they grow older, they slip into the-

What about a bag of bananas or something? Diabetes. Oh, no, but he could have potassium. He could have potassium overloaded. He could have potassium retention. Shit, what do you get the old boy? T-shirt. What about a bag of mandarins?

He might be allergic. He might have mouth ulcers and the citrus is too much. So you can't do that. I might just get him booze and then he can give it to somebody else. No, but it might trigger. If he doesn't drink, it could be alcoholism. Oh, my God. And we don't want to trigger alcoholism, you know?

Yeah. We don't want to do that. Yeah. Why don't you put a bit of a firm handshake? Well, I rest my case. Hard handshake. The biggest tight ass on the show, Vaughn. Yeah.

Well, no, again, I just, I want to check this avenue before I have to take it to someone who sees A, sees me coming and knows I don't know what's wrong with it. Like, sit down to the dollar. B, it's old, so people just charge you more stuff for old, charge you more for old stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I'm a bit of a tight ass too because I saw a dress I like, but I'm just going to wait till it's on sale.

So I guess we're all in the same boat. And you know, while I was building the palette thing to hold the stereo and now that the stereo is not working, I've just been using a UE boom to listen to things. And you know what? That's more than sufficient. I don't need this thing, but I want it.
