The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Overtime Podcast. It's thanks to McCafe, drive through and get a cup of barista-made McCafe coffee on the go. Aaron really surprised me the other day. Now we're struggling a little bit to find quality time. Because everything is about the house. And then the builders leave and then we discuss the house.

Wait, are you including quality time as being at the pub? Because you're always there. Yeah, but we're there at the pub discussing the house. Oh, so that's not quality time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or drowning our sorrows. Ari the house. Because he came around for a beer at our house last week.

Yes. Yeah, how was that? It was lovely. A little one-on-one time? Yeah. Oh, no, Shade was there too. So it was a two-on-one. Oh, wow.

Yeah, well, she did grab his thigh once. She did grab his thigh that time. Did she? Yeah, she sure did. After the wiggles, there's a photo. Oh, yes, that's right. There's a photo and they're posing like this, and she just did that casual sort of hand on the thigh thing, and I was like, excuse me, get your hands off of my fiance.

And he was wearing short shorts when he came around, So I think he very well knew what he was doing He wanted that fire to be grabbed up again Was he wearing knickers? Maybe not because I did see a bit of ball Yeah he lets them out He does He lets them out Those big boys have got to breathe

He lets them hang out Thank you for looking after them while I was away And also for housing my ginormous couch Subject for another day Yeah But anyway So we don't really have a lot of time and also for housing my ginormous couch, subject for another day. But anyway, so we don't really have a lot of time doing things together. And then he just said, I've got an idea.

At night when we get into bed, should we read a book, like share a book together, and I'll read one night and you read the next night, and we'll go on the journey of the book together. Oh, that's cool. This is really cool because I read one night and you read the next night and we'll go on the journey of the book together. Oh, that's cool. That's really cool because I read at night sometimes, but we're always reading very separate things and we never share what's happening in my book or whatever. And then he was like, well, why don't we do the classics?

Like we're at the Great Gatsby, Catching the Rye, some of the Bronte sisters work, maybe Moby Dick, Prime Vigilance. Yeah, see Moby Dick, Because I listened to that whaling podcast And they mentioned Moby Dick I was like I've never read it But I know that the hunting of the whale Or the hunting of the dick As you very well know

Is only half the story Once you've got it That's where the story starts Hunting dick is half the story Yeah yeah yeah Really There's a lot more That's the set up

That's the set up of the full story. And I just thought that was such a nice idea because I read some of the classics like maybe at high school like Great Gatsby, Moby Dick and that. But it's been a long time. Now I would read your New York Times bestsellers.

But we're going to do this. We're going to start next week. Could you just get an audiobook and press play and put it on the UiBoom? No, but the whole part is the sort of activeness of reading the book. And also, you two are bloody theatre nerds. You guys are drama students. The voices. You'll do the voices.

The voices are going to be good. 12 novels considered to be the greatest books ever written. Hit me. Because we haven't chosen our first. I've got to buy it. Anna Karenina. Oh, my God. Anna Karenina. Karenina my God. Anna Karenina.

Karenina. Karenina. Great story, but that film. Oh, my God. We walked out. What? Anna Karenina. What?

Were you around when they released Greta Garbo's Anna Karenina? No. Did they do a remake? They did a remake with bloody. What's her name? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Keira Knightley.

Yeah. I can't stand Keira Knightley. Women supporting women in the industry But honestly Oh my god And she 2012 remake Oh yes yes yes yes yes

So bad Jude Law Okay what else is on the list Oh Doug Cousin Greg Who's the other guy in Succession Not Greg

Tom Doesn't matter Tom he was in it That starts on Monday by the way He was in that part That's got a 6.6 on IMDB Wow So you're saying it's a stinging pile of shit Wow Go for the original Sure on Monday by the way he was at that pile that's got a 6.6 on IMDB yeah and that's generous so you're saying

it's a steaming pile of shit wow go for the original sure so that's a Leo Tolstoy book okay I'm not interested because I'm scarred Anna Karenina

number two To Kill a Mockingbird Harper Lee beautiful and then the follow up of course where it turns out they were racist all along

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald I've seen the movie I've seen the movie I've watched enough women dress up for those parties not to need to read that. We're going to have

a great Gatsby party and we're going to wear feather blowers and such. Feather blowers. Feather blowers. Feather blowers. Which is the follow-up to Hunting for Dick.

Yeah. 100 Years of Solitude by late Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Oh, my Colombia. I think that one's quite a sad book. The novel tells the story of centerville generations of the Buenadilla family and follows the establishment of their town, Mahonda,

until its destruction along with the last of the family's descendants. Yeah, really sad book. Sounds like someone's built a big dam and flooded a few cities. Flooded them out. Flooded a few towns. Does sound that way. A.M. Forster's novel, A Passage to India. Yeah, now that is a good book.

What's the break it down for us here? White appropriation of Indian culture. Okay, wow. It's just like the Brits go to India and they live this. It's kind of a love story, but it's a great film as well. Made in India. It follows a Muslim Indian doctor named Aziz and his relationships with an English professor, Cyril Fielding, and a visiting English high school teacher named Adela Kwazid.

Yeah. Okay. They go to India and they're all like, white linen the whole time and try to keep that So that's been made into a movie as well. Yeah, years and years and years ago. Invisible Man. Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man. Okay.

Great song by Queen as well Yeah great If you could be invisible Where would you go? Jason Momoa's house That's pervy eh That's so yuck That's so pervy But you would

All I'd do is just sit there and be like But imagine that's it You'd been invisible for six months You'd seen as many willies and as boobies as you wanted. And you'd just do things like sneak into factories to see how they make school toys. Yeah. Oh, I'm going to the biscuit factory. And you could just stand in the end and be like, um, um.

What the fuck's going on with the machine? I'm fat and invisible. I'm the invisible man. But I'm eating biscuits how I can. Okay, give me another one. Passage to India for me is winning so far. Don Quixote. Don't know that one.

The world's most famous lover, Don Quixote. Don Juan is the world's most famous lover. The character of Don Quixote has become an idol and somewhat of an archetypal character, influencing many major works of art. The text has been so influential. Foreign next. Yeah, but I've heard of that The text has been so influential Foreign next

I was so bored at the start of that sentence I started doodling Beloved is a 1987 spiritual and haunting novel It tells the story of an escaped slave Named Seathey Who has fled to Cincinnati, Ohio In the year 1873 And investigates the trauma of slavery

Even after freedom has been granted Tough for a midweek read Yeah, tough sounds dark. Mrs. Dalloway, the most idiosyncratic novel of the list. Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway describes exactly one day in the life of a British socialite named Clarissa Dalloway. Yeah, I like that. Clarissa Dalloway is also my stripper name.

Yes, that's a great stripper name. I prefer the sequel to that book, Mrs. Doubtfire. What a film. Much better. Now I sequel to that book, Mrs Doubtfire What a film Much better Now I might read that one Things Fall Apart This is published in 1958 Is there any bloody Jane Austen in there?

Where's my prime prejudice? Jane Eyre is next, Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre The Colour Purple Which was the movie? These all sound so boring, Give us a bit more. That was the top 12. What was that? That was the top 12 of that.

Is that a top 12? That was Britannica's list. What about Wuthering Heights? To Kill a Mockingbird. Animal Farm. You read Animal Farm? I've read Animal Farm a lot. Animal Farm.

I think I'd appreciate it a lot more now that... I'm going to do Passage to India. It's a beautiful love story. I love it. Passage to India.ia okay so that's gonna be one of your best start if we're doing voices could be an issue not if it's in private not if it's in private even still unless aaron's recording you and hoping to ruin your career in broadcasting he does do that you'll wake up one morning and it was like, a source close to Hayley Sprout has a recording of her doing an Indian Muslim doctor's voice.

No, with the state of our mortgage, the last thing Aaron wants is to disrupt my career in the media industry. Oh, I'm busting for a wheeze after that podcast, I'll tell you. It's a podcast.
