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. I have achieved the unachievable. Go ahead. My daughters, we were tidying the house and they said, we want to have a clean out of our drawers and get rid of the old clothes we don't wear.

Oh yeah. And I was like, okay, cool. Cool. It's cleaning up, that's good. So they had a big clean out and they had and get rid of the old clothes we don't wear. Oh, yeah. And I was like, okay, cool. Cool. It's cleaning up. That's good. So they had a big clean out and they had a stuff in a box. And I was like, oh, I got some stuff. I'll chuck them.

We had two big boxes worth of stuff. Nice. I got a couple of those on the go. Now, those generally will live right around in the boot of the car for a while. Yeah. That's what mine are now. I was going to do a grocery pickup and I thought, I'm just going to put the boxes in the car. But in the Jimny, there is no boot.

The boot is the back seat. And the boxes were big, so they took up the whole area. I literally couldn't fit the groceries until I got rid of these boxes. That's sort of a good motivator. Yeah, it motivates you to get rid of it. So I was driving around, and I was like, okay, there used to be clothing bins here. No clothing bins there. There used to be clothing bins there.

No clothing bins there. I go onto the local community page, and I search clothing bins. And people are like, where are the nearest clothing bins there. There used to be clothing bins there. No clothing bins there. I go onto the local community page and I search clothing bins. People are like, where are the nearest clothing bins? And somebody's like, the closest I can find is Torbay. Now, I don't live anywhere near Torbay. No, that's like the other side of the North Shore. So then in Google Maps, I searched clothing bins and it said, oh, here's one. I found one in East Tamaki.

Now, that's miles away. Miles away. Now, I'm sure there's clothing bins all around the world. Why don't you just go to a Salvation Army or something? It was a public holiday. Oh my God, of course. They're not open and you can't dump it because then if it rains, the stuff gets wet and it's impossible.

Those signs, no dumping. But then I was like, I drove past the Salvation Army out west and I looked and I saw it had a new cover outside. I was like, is it cheeky? And they're all good stuff. Yeah. But if someone comes and throws them around or does whatever, I pulled in, on a public holiday, they're open.

I walk in empty armed because I've taken some stuff to some op shops lately and they're like, no, thank you. Yeah. We're full. Well, because people like you dump your shit there. Well, no. Bad clothes get turned into rags for the garage. So these were all good clothes.

Yeah. And so I took them and I said, I've got some stuff I'd like to donate if that's right. And the lady said, pop it all on the table. I said, oh, you don't want to go through the box and see if it's all good? And she was like, you seem like a lovely young man. For a start, I was like, I like her. Young man, that's hitting home. So she's a bit blind.

She's blind and old. Blind and stupid By comparison Yeah And she takes these boxes And she's like Thank you so much Nice I was like you have a lovely day

Well did you ask Where all the clothing bins have gone So I My googling It's just because people Would put rubbish in there Yeah Like they'd put

Literal bags of rubbish in there To get rid of rubbish No Because they thought It was too expensive They got rid of a couple by mine And I only found out when I walked with two giant bags around the block. And I get there, and I'm like, where are the clothing bins?

There were like, literally used to be three or four in a row. Because they're so much easier. I hate it when I bring in, like, I've brought in stuff. And you know me, fashion's my passion. I've got good clothes to give. Yeah. And I always bring them in, and they'll be like, oh, what have you got? And I'm like, fucking take it.

And then they'll be like, oh, fucking take it. Some lovely old Christian lady who's a little bit homophobic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She looks at me, she's like, you've dabbled in it. Yeah, you've dabbled. I can see the devil's tongue in the mouth. They're like, what have you got? You fucking take it. But yeah, so I got rid of it. On the day it left the drawers and went into the box. Amazing.

It also got donated. That just doesn't happen. Yeah. I reckon I'm about to hit the one year mark with the current load in the back of my car. But they're good pieces, so I want to take them to one of those slightly elevated designer resellers. Right. Oh, so they resell it on your behalf and you get a car. You get 50.

Yeah. Right. But again, they resell it on your behalf and you get a cut. You get 50. Yeah. Right. But again, yeah. I just. So even though you'd make money. You haven't been motivated. Oh, what? Because.

I get shy bringing in my clothes and be like, are these good enough for your shop? Please take them. Oh, yeah. Because then if they deny you and fashion's your passion. Yeah. And they're like, we don't want your skanky ass clothes. That's so out of fashion.

We'd never be able to sell that. I'd be like, oh. Oh, embarrassing. Yeah.
