From the Zedium podcast network, it's Fletch Forin and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Now, I believe producer Carwin has come to a trusty older friends for some advice, some help, and we are here to provide. Yeah, as some of you may be aware, I don't have an active father in my life, so sometimes I do rely on Vaughn and Fletch to be my two gay dads. The male figures. I love it. Cute, your uncles. I tell you what, the looks we got when you're not.

You know, Carwin was young and we'd go to the park. We'd hold hands. Discrimination. It was. We should graduate and we were crying and... Yeah. Kissing as a family. Yeah.

The looks we got, but you know, I love is between a man and a woman. Yeah, lots of that. But I got my woff this week. Shout out to VTNZ. I love that they just send you a reminder a week out. They're like, hey girl, it's going to expire. And I'm like, thank you so much.

I'll go today. But everything all good passed. We love to see it. Bravo, Bravo. We love the Toyota Club. But the guy did put in the notes and he said to me, oh, you might just like want to look into that. And I saw something about tyres and I went,

I'll Google it. And he went, yeah. And I was like, cool. It says that there's a bit of like wear on the inner of my front two tires. Oh, yeah. So I'm a shodding, some balding. Yeah, so I'm a sharing. Well, I know.

So are you coming to us? For the boarding aspect? Yes. Yeah. Right. You might need a wheel alignment when you get your new tires. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and so I...

Is that why? If it's pointing in a little bit or out. Aligned, they just go forward. Girl. Oh, sweet. Girl. There we go. Girl.

And so I was like, okay, cool. I'll go on a random tire website. Just see what the cost of Toyota Aquid tires are because I know sometimes with a hybrid, the parts can be a little bit more expensive or sometimes not. It depends. And so I was like, oh my gosh, how much are tires? and I know that like when people need to replace their tires they're like oh gosh it's so much bounty, blah-b-b-b-bye.

So I go to do. Why can I buy a tire for $80 each or $236 each? Oh, so you're like, what's the, yeah, do you need nice tires or do you need cheap tires? Right, and like the 236 or whatever it was were like, oh, these are eco-efficient, blah, blah, but my car is already eco-efficient, so do I need to buy the expensive one? How would a tire make something eco-efficient?

It just drives. none of this makes sense to me She hasn't come to you for the advice She's come to her gay dads That is crazy It's like it's heavier and more contact with the road It's rubber Yeah but there's different grips hon

Yeah like you can get snow tires You can get Not great for driving mud tires There's all terrain tires I mean don't put all terrain or mud tires On the aqua that's absolutely waste of money They're bigger than the car Big massive ones

It used to be so efficient And now it makes this whole Horful road noise. Yeah. I saw a story in the news the other week about an old mate who had got all new tires for his car and he was having a bit of a,

not a whinge, but just kind of like he'd gone to the local paper or whatever because the tires he bought were old tires and then they started like cracking or something and he was like, there's no like system in place to stop tire shops selling old tires.

They'd been sitting around for a while. They could have just been sitting there for years. He's getting all dry. Getting all dry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then he put them on his car and they started like, I don't know if they were breaking apart or cracking or something. And he's like, I just bought these.

And they're like, well, actually, you've got to look at the manufactured date of the tires as well. I don't want to have to add that to those things. Not to worry about that. I know when I've got tires before you let your place know, like I've got a regular mechanic. And if I've got new tires, I need your tires, I need your tires. He's like, well, sweet, we need to order them in. They come from some big tire warehouse because they don't keep a lot of stock on hand. Yeah, I'd shop around for sure

I'd just get the cheapest ones But I don't want to have to then Like if I get the cheapest ones Is it that they're going to run out sooner And then I have to buy them sooner Yeah, I always kind of go It's like ordering wine at a restaurant Yeah, second cheapest

So just so you don't look like a cheats game But restaurants know that And the second cheapest wine is always the cheapest With a bigger markup Yeah, yeah yeah yeah I always go mid with tyres Because I don't care about my family that much Yeah, totally

You care about them enough. I care about them $200 a tire. I don't care about them $500 a tire. That's madness. Does that help? Does that help? Did your gay dad's come to the rescue there? Maybe, maybe.

I'm so sorry that this is a large expense. Gay dad, am I gay dad one or two? One? Which one's the girl? And who's dadder? I'm Papa. Papa was just going to go on Claude and ask. Oh, yeah.

What was the best for a Toyota at Kwah? Yeah. You just shop around. Shop around. Bridgestone Ecopia EP300 for fuel efficiency and low road noise I think that's what I was looking at

but they were very expensive Yeah they do look expensive Don't they? Low road noise they're rubber This is all in the sandy
