The ZM Podcast Network. Fleshborn and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Ah, this is just a little bit of a special for the podcast listeners. You may remember a little while ago I was saying about how I helped a lady in Mitre 10 find what she needed at Mitre 10. Because she thought you worked there.

Yeah, because they wear high-vis orange if I'm ever doing stuff. Orange is your colour. I was just like, I've got to go to Mitre 10. Went in there. I was in the orange. And so this lady asked. And I was just like, yeah, sweet. And I helped her find the screws she was after.

Well, after that, Mitre 10 reached out and said to ZM, does Vaughn want to come and learn to work at Mitre 10? So stand by for those videos. Because I did some time in each department. I'll tell you what, the paint department blew my mind. Love it. Oh, they're amazing.

They're always amazing. So good, eh? And you take in that little like speck of what your wall looks like and they make a paint on it. I use the spectrometer. The spectrometer. So funny.

You see the machine put in like tiny bits of blue. Squirting. Yeah, it's incredible to watch. Also, what I love in the paint department is all the fillers. Because next to the paint department, you've got your no more gaps. Interior, exterior, you're expanding. Oh, my God. I've got a couple of big cans of expanding foam.

I have a can of expanding foam that I used once, but now the foam's hardened in the thing. I can't get it out. Should we shoot it with my slug gun? Yes. I would love to. In fact, I bet there's a video online. I would love to see a car filled with expanding foam.

There will be. That's delightful. That sounds like a rich LA-based YouTuber's prank on their best pal, and it's on like a recently acquired Tesla or something. Have you found it? When the boss doesn't pay, wait until you see the end result. Great. There's a Mythbusters AB foam prank.

Is that one? I don't know. I completely filled an expedition with spray foam. What's an expedition? Like a Ford expedition. I think a Ford expedition. Like a minivan. Let me look.

What happens then? Because you can't drive it to the wreckers or whatever. You've just got to get... Oh, no, this guy's shooting it. Oh, Jesus. That's excessive. Oh, no, he filled it with foam and then he's shooting it. Oh, okay, to show you.

It's madness. America. America. Okay, so you can Google people have done this. That's good fun. And when I was in the garden department and we were just like setting up to film something and I was wearing the Mitre 10 shirt and somebody came up to me and said, can I ask you a couple of questions?

And I was like, this will be fun. I was like, yeah, sure. But this guy, these two guys, and I went with them and he's like this, this, this, and like followed him. And he's like here. Yeah. Is that the expanding farm? Yeah.

Hey, that's not actually doing. Yeah. You'd be better just to throw that can in and shoot it so oh yeah he's just like leaving it there i was expecting the entire car this is more of a spritz it's like when you you want to see people retro insulating their walls with their expanding foam that's like yeah and it fills the gap squirts out a bit and they cut it off with a craft knife oh my god we did that when we got our new windows. It makes a squeaky sound, though. It's awful. It's awful, the sound.

Halloumi. But it's cool. Okay, you're in the garden department. So I'm in the garden department. This guy comes over and he says, can I ask you a question? I was like, ah, this will be fun. He thinks I work here. I'm in the uniform.

I can see why he's made this mistake. And I'm like, yeah. And I follow him over and he's like, what's this? And I'm like, that's spinach. He's like, what's that? I was like,, that's spinach. He's like, what's that? I was like, that's a strawberry plant. What's that? They've got labels.

No, because they were planted in the pot that shows you that you only need to water it once a month. So it was like an example of how these things will grow in this. Oh, right. So they weren't labels. How did you know what they were? I mean, I know what a strawberry plant looks like. Spinach is spinach. He's like, what's that?

I was like, that's beetroot. It's at this stage that I realized this guy's... Taking the piss? Not taking the piss. Differently abled? Oh, right. In the nicest possible way. And he said, what's that?

And he kept asking me what all these plants were, and I was telling him, and I was like, oh, okay. And he's like, do you have any of these? And then like pointed at this lettuce. I was like, yeah, follow me. I don't know where the lettuce is, but I found the lettuce. And I was like, yeah, here's the lettuce. That's fancy lettuce. That's iceberg lettuce. Fancy lettuce sucks. Fancy lettuce is my favorite lettuce. What? It's so limp. I love fancy. You're going to get a crisp fancy lettuce. It's yum. It is yum. Because you get it and it's still got the base on it. By the way, just a quick update of this filling a car with foam.

They are actually filling the entire car. And look. How many cans are you? I can't wait for it to see a hundred. That stuff doesn't look as expandy as the stuff I've used before. No. Aerated. So then I'm like, okay, so here's the lettuces and I think it's going to be done.

And he's like, ah, one more back over here. So we go back over to the original thing. Christ, I've already lost patience with you telling the story, let alone being there. Existing in the story. And he's like, one more question. And I was like, what you got? And he's like, do you know any scientists?

Oh, my. And I said. I know one. I don't know. No, no, no. I just work in the garden department, because at this stage, I do. Oh, my God, now you're a liar. Well just work in the garden department because at this stage I do. Oh, my God. Now you're a liar.

Well, I am a liar because I've answered his questions. I work in there, but I'm doing it for nothing. Do you know any scientists? I said, no, I don't. He's like, because I've got so many questions for scientists. And I said, oh, okay. And he's like, like, I know they can time travel. So why haven't they time travel back and told old scientists what they know now

so the old scientists can have new science. So we can get ahead on science. So we can get ahead of it. Are you being pranked at this stage? Like, are you mic'd up and are the cameras rolling? I was mic'd up and the camera wasn't J.D. who was on camera could hear it all through the headphones. He's like, where the fuck's he gone?

What the fuck's he doing? Who's he talking to? And I said, oh, no, I don't think scientists could time travel. And he's like, but that's what they want you to think. They want you to think it. And it was at that stage. You know, he's got a point, though. I know.

It was at that stage that his carer said, I think you've asked this nice man enough questions. Carer speaks up for the first time. Oh, right. Have they just been following around like a shadow? Have they just been following around? I think this guy just needed a little time out. A little break. A little break.

He's like, I think you've asked him enough questions. Well, that's nice that you helped. Yeah. I wish I could help him on the time travel thing.

Yeah. I wish I knew a scientist. If you, a scientist who has been sitting on time travel came into this room right now and said, we're going

to take you back to one thing. You could be there for an hour. Where do you want to go? Oh, good question. I always think of this. I'd go to Live Aid.

You know, the big concert with all the artists. It was like one of the biggest concerts in the world. Live Aid, Queen's performance, I'd go there for an hour. Oh. Yeah. Because you wouldn't drastically change time. I'm not going back to kill Hitler. Do you know what I mean?

Like, I just can't. I can't. Yeah. Who knows what would happen if you did. Yeah, I know. I'm just going to watch Queen's set at Live Aid. Okay. And I'll pop back and be like, sweet.

Can't believe you wouldn't kill Hitler. Selfish, eh? Very selfish. It was an iconic set that Queen played, though, you know? But what if she killed Hitler and it changed everything and she was never born? That's the butterfly effect with Ashton Kutcher. Yeah, that's right. He became a baby.

By the way, great movie. Great movie. When did you last watch it? Years ago. When he first took a step away from comedy And everyone was like Great film Yeah
