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 quite often during the show, over the years, we've given, or we've read out a lot of travel influencer tips Like travel hacks The fishing vest The fishing vest comes to mind The pillowcase with all your extra stuff in it, the neck pillow with all your goods

Yes And they don't weigh it. As a way of getting your stuff on board. Yes. Because, you know, airlines are really squeezing. I was reading this week, all the airlines in America are putting up their check bag. Do you know, like, what do we pay for a check bag around New Zealand? Like 20 bucks, eh?

20 bucks, yeah. 25? They pay like 70, 80 or something. Screw that. Ridiculous. 70, 80 American dollars? Yeah. So like 100 and...

If you're traveling in America, you've got to be really careful when you're booking your flights because it adds up. So this passenger has come up with a travel hack to get stuff on his carry-on, and that is by using 150 ton hydraulic press to pack all of his clothes into a carry-on bag. You've got to be lying to yourself. I'm showing you a carry-on bag. You've been talking about your lines. Where is it? I love the, Jesus, I love the hydraulic press videos. I know.

On wherever you watch TikTok, Instagram Reels, TikTok, whatever, where they're smashing, like, all these different sorts of things. Should that be the new line for, and you can podcast wherever you listen to your shit. Sure, wherever you listen to shit. Fuck yourself out. So, yeah, you're right, though. are you listening to shit so it's yeah you're right though it's not gonna make it lighter but then it doesn't matter if it's a wheelie suitcase

does it like if it fits in they're not weighing it most of the time most of the time depending on your airline but yeah if it's all about just getting things in so how much can he crank in there for compared to i mean it looks like so many i'm seeing like maybe 50 items of clothing but if the hydraulic you've got to be careful because sometimes it'll like tear through fabric yeah i mean i think he's doing this as a bit of a video yeah it's not like i've actually done this and gone on holiday. Yeah, right. I guess it's no different than if you want a kind of a hack like this, is getting a, I've done this before when I was travelling half in summer, half winter, is air vacuum bag your winter stuff.

Because you know like a down jacket is like real puffy. Yeah. But when you vacuum pack it, it goes flat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I guess that would be the closest to that. Yeah, I vacuum pack, but they never last. They always find a hot seal. Yeah, as soon as you open it.

Always find a little hole in there. Yeah. You've got to get the high quality ones, don't you? Yeah, you do. Don't step on that. Yeah, good valve. Got to pay for those valves. You could double bag.

You could double bag it. And then you've got a double barrier. Yeah. Dangerous, though. Well, there you go. There's another travel tip. For those of you with 10, Dangerous, though. Well, there you go. There's another travel tip. For those of you with 10,000 pound hydraulic presses. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Can I borrow your hydraulic press? How much is a hydraulic press? Because you're right. Those videos are incredible to watch. I don't. Like when they do, like, here's us doing a bag of marshmallows. Oh, yeah, that rules. Or a cell phone.

I love. Price of a hydraulic press. You're going to tell me. And then we'll divide by cell phones. Or a price of a hydraulic press. You're going to tell me. And then we'll divide by. Okay, there's a 10-ton hydraulic press at Top Mac for $367. That's not bad. $100 each. For $1,000, we can get a 30-ton hydraulic press.

I don't think we need it that big. But then pay an extra $10, $20 for a checked bag. Divided by $1,000. It's not worth it, is it? Just check a bag. No, no, no. But then we could make all the money on YouTube smashing things. Yes.

Has anybody hydraulic pressed a Frank Green drink bottle or a Stanley Cup? Drink bottle hydraulic press. The 25-ton manual press with standard pressure gauge including packing crushing six Costco water bottles with a hydraulic press. Oh, that's good stuff. This is what M&M's made of. Yeah, someone's done a metal. Here you go.

It's not a Frank Green, but it is. Oh, my God. The YouTube channel is called Crush It. They've done a drink bottle. Here it goes. This is a, what's that brand? Caramore. That's like an outdoor clothing brand or something he's

not got that in the center that he's moved here we go here we go here we go turkey it's got the lid on too so you've got he's pushing against a double-walled vacuumed bottle yeah and then he reset it because it moved oh oh it's got water in it it's squirting everywhere oh my god that is so fucking satisfying to watch. I love them. Wasteful, though, isn't it? I follow an Instagram page, and it's a dancer, and she remakes hydraulic presses with her body.

What do you mean? Like, so she's squishing, like, a banana. She dresses up in yellow and, like, does the movements that it does. It's really fun. Oh, my God. That was great. That was too slow. He could have sped that up.

That is so far bad for me. How to tell a professional how to slow That was too slow He could have sped that up That is so Far bad for me To tell a professional How to do their job But he could have sped that up And then it's like Oh brilliant And then there's another angle Oh it's so good

Yeah it's hot Money well spent you'd say Yeah Money well Yeah
