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 Now recently my friend from Belgium What do you call them, Belgianese? Belgianers I think Belgianers

My Belgianese friend Yeah, Belgian Yeah, was visiting in state And this is a friend that we'd met with friends overseas, and I said to him, if you're ever in New Zealand, I've got a spare room, and I'll show you around. Well, you didn't mean that, did you? And I did not mean that. And then he was like, oh, I'm there in March.

And I said, oh, for fuck's sake. Now I've got to follow through. Now I've got to follow through with this. And he said one of the things he wanted to do was the Tongari Crossing, which they did. Oh, yeah. And I was like, I'd love to show you around. And actually, that was when I went to Hot Water Beach. First time I'd ever been there.

Oh, that's amazing. So cool. We should do a weekend down there, I was thinking. We'll get an Airbnb. And then instead of hiring a spade, for those that don't know, in New Zealand, Hot Water Beach, there's like this vein of activity that makes the sand and the water in some places hot. And you go when the tide's on its way in to dig the hole.

Two hours either side of high tide, I believe. Because if you go low tide and you dig it, the water is so hot you will be severely burnt. Oh, really? It's really fucking dangerous. People often get really badly burnt there. Because I wondered, because you hire a spade if you don't take your own for like 10 bucks and that was cute.

Dig a hole. Someone's making a spade. Or you just... Someone's making a bag. Yeah, or you just take over someone else's hole. But do you think we can take a digger? You can't commandeer someone else's hole. Not without permission.

If they've made the hole, that's their hole. We've got a cuckoo on our hands over here. A cuckoo? Won't make his own nest, just steals everybody else's. But I was wondering, what's stopping you from taking a digger on the beach and digging an actual pool? Because you can never dig enough. You're just kind of in shallow water and it starts caving in.

But do you reckon you could take a digger? I do not think so. What's too drastic on that? You can take a digger on I do not think so. What's too crowded? You can take a digger on the beach, though, because a mate of mine's parents have a beach house, and the storms must be nice, and the storms will, like, push sand up, and it'll block the river that flows in.

Oh, yeah. And then the water gets all stagnant and stuff, so they open it up and let that real gross water go out to the sea. I feel like you wouldn't be allowed to do that either. But they drive a digger down there and go, dig, dig, dig, and do just a little dig, and then it's like that thing where the water just rains through and takes over. Just hear the bird nests popping under the tires of the tracks of the digger. Oh, God, that's awful, the crunch.

Anyway, so my friend left the other day, and he gave me a lovely gift, which was very unexpected, but it did raise a question. I opened this gift, and it was an electric salt grinder. A mill? With a bottom. Fuck yeah, that rules. Does the light come on?

Some of them have a light. Yeah, there's a light, and you put in like six AAA batteries. Six? Six? What the fuck is it? What is it grinding? Some of them have a light Yeah there's a light And you put in like Six triple A batteries Six Six Fuck is it What is it grinding Rocks No it's like You put in the Himalaya

Or the rock salt Yeah And then you press the button And it's like And it's electric I had an electric I had an electric set once They didn't last long

But the pepper one Was the button And the salt one When you tipped it upside down It automatically started grinding Oh yeah That's good That was cool But they didn't last very long Then he's like Well if you want the salt one when you tipped it upside down it automatically started grinding oh yeah that's good that was cool but they didn't last very long then he's like well if if you want the

paper one i can tell you where i got this and i was like well now i've got a like what you've done is you've given me a lovely gift you've given half a gift yeah yeah and also was he not happy with my walrus select that's what i feel like he was telling you that your salt was shit. He was telling me that my salt. So he's like, I had a lovely time. But shit salt. But you've got shit salt at your house. That's what I took from this. I think those supermarket ones that come with the salt in them are some of the best.

Because I bought Le Creuset salt and pepper grinders for the aesthetics. They are the worst grinders I've ever used. What is that grinder that you... Peugeot. Because it was fact of the day once before they made cars, Peugeot started out in pepper mills and salt grinders. And I was like, wow, when we talked about it for a while, and someone sent some.

And I was like, oh, thank you very much. It was very nice of them. But I think the Statue of Limitations has passed. Terrible grinders. Really? Terrible grinders. It's clogged up very much. It was very nice of you. But I think the Statue of Limitations has passed. Terrible grinders. Really? Terrible grinders. It's clogged up so easy. It's so clogged.

So clogged. And it's not a damn. But you know why you're clogging? No, it's not a damnness issue. No, you're putting it over when you've got something hot on the stove. No. It's not. No, it's not because it's also raw stuff.

But also, the mill, it's too finely milled. So my cracked pepper might as well be fucking from the powder. Powder pepper. But see, that's why I've always used the supermarket grinders. Because they're crunchy. And they're like. Yeah. Yeah.

If we're doing a Jared saying sharp stone. I want one of these ones. Here's the cranky wheel. The old wooden ones. Yeah, wooden with a. And you take the lid off. Yeah. And it's got a metal handle.

I always wonder what happened to my grandparents salt and pepper shakers When we were kids they always just seemed so massive Yeah But fuck they were good No I've got the Le Creuset ones out on the bench for aesthetics only Right but you use the supermarket grinders We use the supermarket grinders The three dollar ones that are just crunchy
