ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The Podcast. Alright, we've changed batteries. International Podcast shoutouts. This is actually, we've just seen on Facebook, the Prince version of Nothing Compares to You has just been released. Of course, Prince wrote this. For Sinead O'Connor, who then dined out on it for years, didn't she? Still pays probably for her castle. It's been 7,013 days. I like it. on it for years, didn't she? Still pays probably for her castle. I like it.

Because I'm not ashamed to say I never really got Prince. No, neither. I never got the Prince. The Prince bus. No. I should have. I should have put more effort into getting the Prince bus. Purple Rain, Raspberry Parade. Yeah, Raspberry Parade is rubbish. Are you kidding me?

Raspberry Parade. I thought it was Raspberry Parade and it was like the period. Raspberry Parade. It's not a period. Okay. We continue our shout outs. Oh, funny how Fletch did not want a Magnum and then he got one. Well, I bloody paid for them didn't I?

You did. Ryan Tongapuna is next. I forgot to send this when I was, what's that? Crazy card? We had an embarrassing decline. Oh dear. Will it work now? It wasn't activated was it? Oh did it need to be activated?

What? Have you got the card? She said you need to send a photo of your front and back. I'm sending this from Kuala Lumpur after leaving Phuket, celebrating our first winter anniversary with my lovely wife, Phoebe. We have been doing so much shopping and visiting back rooms. It seems so dodgy going into the back rooms when we first started shopping, but then we realised it's amazing with all the fake brands. Brands.

There it is. Just looking for my shampies. Then I realised so much imitation clothing, unfortunately I'm a size 12 so I didn't fit any of the shoes. Preach. Also never buy shoes too small for yourself in Thailand or South East Asian

countries. Did you find anything there though? Nah. Nah. Waste of time. Even all the clothing, like the Nike gym stuff was all way too small. Yeah.

Also, Megan, I hope the wedding prep's going well. It did, thanks. We've been thinking about the show Secret. Is this it? Yes, it is. To Princess Diana. To Princess Di.

Princess Di. Princess Di. Hi to Producer Caitlin. Spoke to her on the phone last year during the Christmas competition. But my phone died while I was talking to her. Oh, I hope that happens. Been regretting it since. Hope she finds the one soon. Thank you.

Me too. Always join in on the little parts where you sing together. It's so much fun. I get so many weird looks while driving to work. Can't sing for shit. Or neither can me, but it doesn't stop us. Hope you're reading this on the last podcast where you'll get cut.

And I'm going to do so much duty-free drinks on my way home. I'm now addicted to Mai Tais after my time in Phuket. Yum. Thanks for the podcast. Elizabeth Campbell says, Hi, everybody. Hopefully this makes it before the end of the year. Here are my bullet points for my podcast.

Shout out for my big sister, Rachel, who lives in London. She left New Zealand in 2012. But she fell in love with a Cockney toy boy and doesn't plan on coming back to New Zealand anytime soon. Ayo. Ayo.

He's a Cockney though. I hope you enjoy the Kiwi favourites I've sent you along with some pineapple lumps and mint sliced biscuits. You're missing out, Caitlin. I miss you all the time. Honestly, you should try it.

Comes highly recommended. I have. Tried a Toyboy. He was like 26. That's not a Toyboy. Jesus Christ, Caitlin. Yeah, blow me. Yeah, blow me.

That's not what I thought you said. Yeah, I thought he said, yeah, blow me. Yeah, me too. Yeah, blow me. Yeah, blow me. You don't get blowed if you're a girl. No, no, that's why I thought it was quite awesome that you were saying it. Yeah, yeah, blow me. Yeah, me too. Yeah, blow me. Yeah, blow me. You don't get blowed if you're a girl. No, no, that's why I thought it was quite awesome that you were saying it. Yeah, whatever, blow me.

So why did my one sister, I like the mice, have to leave, have an awesome white Christmas and enjoy the Kiwi favourites? Thanks for the podcast. I've been a listener for many years. I think the first podcast I downloaded was when you did the 40-hour famine. Your podcast helped me get through an hour drive from Henderson to Mount Wellington. I do daily in Auckland traffic. I don't know if you remember, but I won last calls a few months ago.

I was so nervous. My story was about how my foot got caught in a bike wheel when I was a kid, and now I have a two-spoon-sized hole in my leg. Yeah, I remember that. Lastly, I was hoping you guys all the guys on the Facebook fam could give me some

advice on packing up everything in April next year so she's like either packing and or gone and giving the move to London thing a go

do it but I'm so scared because I'm doing it all alone I have my sister and a few friends in London and my whole extended family is there because I moved to New Zealand

when I was five but I'm super scared. So if anyone has any advice on finding work in a flat, that would be helpful. Giving up a job in Auckland is pretty scary. I work at a well-known cable TV station that's always getting shat on in the news. I pretty much get paid to quality check TVs and movies before they go to air. And this includes porn. I never thought when I was a young girl I would get paid to watch movies and porn.

Everybody's dream. It would get a bit much though, wouldn't it? Yeah, it'd probably get... Because it's work. You know when you start to begrudge anything that's work? Like even if you were a chocolate taster, if it was your work, you get to the weekend and you're like,

not today, chocolate. I'm not working. Yeah, not in the mood, chocolate. So Merry Christmas, she says. But she's in London now so I hope it's all going well, Elizabeth. Hannah Forrest. Oi'm not working. Yeah, not in the mood chocolate. So, Merry Christmas she says, but she's in London now, so I hope it's all going well, Elizabeth. Hannah Forrest, oi oi, oi oi you belters! You laughed when I

said that last time, so I thought I'd chuck it in. So here, if I may, I want to bus over to Cardiff for the All Blacks vs Wales game from London with a shed load of Kiwis. I believe a former Jameson producer went to that game. Yeah, it's gone back, eh? Yeah, he's got an in,

doesn't he, with the CEO or whatever. One of the board members. An All Blacks board member. This episode goes to my two flatmates, Tara Ryan and Anna Solomon when I moved into

the flat of randoms in London earlier this year. I heard Tara listen to the podcast in her room on one of the first mornings. I was like, oh my God, girl! Is that the FEM podcast

she was like yeah girl and gee whiz what a time we've had since then in August Homer Anna moved in and she also listened to the podcast

and we've been the three bestest pals ever since good people all these people good people sounds like a great flat shout out to the Yukon Yodlers

for being the best paino blush drinking cheese eating Christmas enthusiasts a girl could ever want to live with

if you could read this out in Tom Sainsbury's Paula Bennett voice that would make my blush, drinking, cheese-eating, Christmas enthusiasts a girl could ever want to live with. If you could read this out in Tom Sainsbury's Paula Bennett voice, that would make my life. Love you, sweeties! And also cheers to the UCATs for the podcast. Hope you have a lovely holiday period. All the best for the wedding, Megan. You deserve every happiness coming your way. Oh, that's so lovely.

P.S. Hi, Amy, Crooksvillian Crooks. Miss you, shorty. All right. From Fletcher Hi, Amy, Crooksvillian Crooks. Miss you, Shorty. All right. From Fletcher's edits, we've got three pages to go. Carolyn Davis, Fletch, Warren, Megan, Caitlin, Anya, James. First time up, so this is a quick hello to everybody. Merry Christmas.

I hope you guys have a great break. I'm a Christchurch kid living just outside of Boston with my two crazy kids, and holy moly, I miss home. I'm moving back, hopefully, to Waiheke in 600-ish days and can't wait. My oldest kid will be two in January. She's non-verbal and has a few development delays. Some days are tough and lonely,

but you guys put a smile on my face. Megan, you'll make a beautiful bride. I can't wait to see the photos. Vaughn, your kids crack me up. I look forward to seeing your summer adventures. Don't blow your house up with crazy barbecue adventures. Fletch, be careful on your adventures this summer and don't forget to

call your mother on Christmas Day. And New Year's Day. I did. No, you don't call on New Year's Day. I wouldn't have thought so. And what happens on holidays stays on tour. Oh yeah, well that goes without saying. Kerry Tobik is next. I'd like to register our shout out for International Podcast fam. It's Kerry and Tony.

We love listening to the podcast and that Kiwi accent while we're overseas. It definitely makes us less homesick. We're currently in Korea. Guess which half? The good half. North, south. There are a lot of great things about living here, but one thing we can't get past is $7 avocados.

And we thought we had it bad with $6 avocados. I know. So close, but, you know, that's basically in New Zealand for every eight avocados you buy, that's one free. Yeah. We've caught Mr. Mime at the Pokefest, Kangaskhan and Farfetch'd. I mean, this is talking about Pokemon. We also get asked, do people still play that?

And yes, we do. What about now, though? Because when I was in Sydney the other week, people were playing it. I know. I saw people playing it in downtown Auckland the other day. I was like, unbelievable. I didn't think people were, but apparently they are. The up thing.

That's how you know they're playing it. Are you talking about Pokémon Go? They spin and flick. This is only a few weeks ago. I was like, what? 100% people are still playing it. And it's changed. I saw a screen cap the other day.

It's changed tapes. Trina Liana Wilkinson wants to podcast. Shout out. I've been teaching for 10 years and going on my first real life overseas adventure. My sister Kimberly and I are heading to the United States. We're going to Texas for a three week road trip. Just wanted to send a shout out to my main man friend, Jason, who has to stay at home and work and look after our pup, Tara,

an American Bulldog. Her gram is Tara the American Bulldog. That's such a cute name for a bulldog. T-A-R-A, the American Bulldog. I was that teacher from Broadgreen who asked you guys to Skype us, and Fletcher Megan did, and the class still think it was the coolest learning all year. I live in Mochawaka.

It's a beautiful place. That's where my family lives. Love it. Joke here. Thanks for the podcast. Have a fantastic Christmas and a break. No, Tara's cute. You guys don't like Bill Balls.

Looks a bit throat grabby looks a bit face grabby it's not a cat Megan next real cute Tara's real cute Murray Bartram

I know your episode list for the final one of the year will be long but I listen to every while I'm walking to work in Sydney some days

I listen at work. You'll be pleased to know that I got in the top 1% of performers in a company of 35,000 staff globally this year. Wow, Murray, we are proud. It's a wonderful achievement. Thanks for the podcast. Long-time listener. If you're ever in Sydney, drinks on me for a Murray.

I wish I'd known that when I was in Sydney. Oh, this person would really like their name not mentioned. Okay, that was lucky. Why? Could I say Nick? Well, you just did. I'll say Nick. Then they'll know who they are.

Well, it's a fake name, isn't it? But they'll know who they are. I'm back with another bloody loophole episode. Last week, I jetted off to Melbourne with my mum and my sister for a girls' week away. Post finishing my design degree and the Sisters Paramedic Conference, saving $50 a week all year ticked up the old student loan

for shopping was well worth it for a blowout at the end when your bag goes from 10kgs on the way to 23.2 on the way back I feel that Auntie Megan would approve highlights of the trip visiting Rippon Lane

amazing 19th century house and garden all the beautiful architecture coffee, coffee, coffee Melbourne Star Observation Wheel at night. Visiting Ikea, which is as crazy as you hear. Oh, that's awesome.

Ordering Uber Eats from McDonald's 100 kilometres across the road, which is a luxury that the Manawatu doesn't have. Did I say kilometres? Yeah. 100 metres.

And accidentally ending up on the trams in the middle of nowhere. The last episode read out for the last Christmas special and Fletch mentioned that I would love his soda glasses, which turned out to be ice cream bowls. And I totally had the matching highball glasses from the same range. Talk about great taste in glassware.

God, do you remember that whole debacle? Also, get a hold of Fletch's mojito recipe. It went down a treat. It was delicious. Lastly, thanks again for being there. We're going to take a moment and not stress out. It's a lightening of the mood and makes me feel way less anxious when I'm super nervous about something.

Thanks to the podcast and the sing-alongs from Nicole. Kia ora. Georgia, let me just check here. Georgia's the last one for Fletcher's. So we're halfway through. Almost halfway. Georgia's the last one for Fletchers. And then we've got, so we're halfway through. Almost halfway. Georgia Robinson. Hey, fam, I'm going to keep this short and sweet

in an attempt to make the cut for the end of the year podcast. I'm currently living in the USA, working towards my master's in special education. That was Caitlin breathing out. I came here about five months ago after spending a year teaching in London and falling in love with a boy from Minnesota. I wanted to give a shout out to my number one

and only sister, Tessa. She is simply the greatest that I'm carrying down to this day until I hang out in Queenstown with her for Christmas. Earlier this year, she came to visit me in the UK and we went to Edinburgh for the weekend. Tess first introduced me to the podcast in 2010. I've been listening since. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

Good luck with the wedding, Magoos. Thanks. It goes on to say, thank you all very much for the podcast. Lots of love from Georgia. There you go. Thanks, Georgia. Thank you. Thanks, Vaughn.

Anya, you look very tired on the three-person couch. No, that's the two-and-a-half. You're on the two-and-a-half, Sita. Are we on the three? We're on the three. We're on the three, yeah. This is the couch, the lying down couch. Your two daddies have got the three, Sita.

James and I have got one chair. James is on the couch and you're sitting on the ground. So I'm going to quit this word document, Vaughan. That's okay? That's allowed? Okay. Good. I'm not saving.

I'll tell you that right now. That's great. You need to bloody strip some after this. I'll tell you that much for nothing. Yeah. Or you've got those lozenges, haven't you? The Manuka lozange. I do have the Manuka lozange.

Now, how many ice creams were left? How many ice creams are left? There's six left. I told you we only needed one pack. There's five, but Sade might decide she wants one. I haven't had one either. Vaughan might decide he wants one. But still, we only needed one pack, didn't we?

No, if one person has another one. Also, we're taking over Vaughan and Sade's house. I think they deserve one later tonight. I'm not saying they don't deserve an ice cream. Have some fun times. No, just kidding. Probably not going to happen. Because we ruined it.

Don't dip your... Oh, I was dipping my finger in the olive. It's not a plate. How am I going to get the olives out of the olive container without using my fingers? There's no fork. Yeah, but you did it really, like, grossly. Yeah, that was bad. I didn't lick my fingers till I was done.

Your fingers are real gross. Can I have a nap? Yeah, can we have a power nap? Power nap, 20. I'll be back here in 20 Sarah Wald wants a podcast I'm on to my Edited podcast

Jordan Gilmore. This podcast is for Woodsy and Amy. They're having their obligatory quarter life crisis in traveling Asia. Moved to Australia a few months ago. They're coming here to bless the rains in Feb. One more thing. Always think of stuff for your listener question segments. Practical joke that went too far.

Woodsy changed my Facebook to interested in men a year later I started sleeping with men so I think the joke went pretty fucking far Woodsy I never had to change the status back because he pointed it out to me

when I came out to him that he changed it so that's how you turn someone gay yeah you change their Facebook status and you just have to stay with it and then Zuckerberg's like well they have to be gay now okay

Jonathan Pym would like an international podcast. Shout out for his amazing girlfriend, Ashley, living in London.

finding the cocktail shaker. You have your trackpad the other way. I know. I don't like that. No problem there. See, when I go down, it's going up way I know I don't like that Problematic So when I go down it's going up Yeah I have it like that too That's against the flow of your fingers

No it's not No So I have to go up So you're flicking the page up right Yeah Yeah Oh so you flick it up to go You're inverted

Yeah but inverted's the way to go isn't it Oh okay fine Stevie McKenna is next. Deb Fletcher, Vaughan Megan. James Kaelin and Anga. I'd like to request an IPSO from Hamilton, Scotland. No connection to your Hamilton because I've already checked, so it's not even like a sister city.

Right. I'm a long-time listener. Multiple podcast shout-a-router-a. OG worldwide weekly Whip Around correspondent. Back in the day when we did that, but it's a lot of effort now. We don't do that because... It took too much time. Well, it was just hard as well to get people as well.

Yeah, wasn't it? And Friend of the Show. Yes, Stevie. Friend of the Show. The last few months have been pretty... Hang on, sorry. Inverted, scrolly trackpad. The last few months have been pretty rough for me

after splitting up with my long-term partner back in August. All the things that would normally be hard in this process have been relatively pain-free for me. Telling friends and family we split up, no problem. Splitting up all the contents and the sentimental stuff, simple. Getting the house on the market, done. However, here is the killer part. She ran off with the dog when we split up,

and I miss that wee guy way more than I'll ever miss her. What a complete bitch, I know. I don't know if that's her or the dog. Anyway, the podcast and fans have been godsend over the last few months they got me through the quiet times

around the house and put a smile on my face when there wasn't much else to smile about originally inverted trackpad sorry just go down when I should go

the other way originally this is what I'm gonna do come in closer to the mic here a bit I found an espresso martini recipe but we don't have the stuff

so I'm gonna make one in the Nutribullet. But what stuff don't you have? No, I've got instant coffee. It's too whippy. No, because I'm going to put ice in there. So it'll like smash the ice. That'll be like an espresso frappe.

It'll be a Starbucks. Coffee liqueur and espresso. So I don't have coffee liqueur. I've got coffee whiskey, but that would double down on the booze content. Yeah, that wouldn't be nice. Do you need the coffee liqueur? I've got coffee whiskey, but that would double down on the booze content. Yeah, that wouldn't be nice. Do you need the coffee liqueur?

I've got martini mix. Just make coffee, black coffee, and put sugar with it. Google another recipe, because that could be... That's the Jamie Oliver how to make an espresso martini. Oh, Hazel, fuck what. Don't worry about it. Hazel, stop eating sugar. He can't even run a successful restaurant chain.

They've all gone tits up, haven't they? Have they? Well, in Australia they have. Best espresso martini involves vodka, a lot of people calling for Kahlua. Yeah, freshly brewed espresso. Look, leave this with me.

I've got this sorted. Anyway, what does he say? Not long back from filming the Northern Lights in the Arctic Circle, Finland, but to be fair, he loves a good naked sauna, so it would have fitted in well there.

Did I miss something out there? Oh, he'd like to request a podcast shout-out for his mate Jack Johnson before he went off on his filming trips. Okay, there we go. That's who likes a naked sauna. Who doesn't? Jack, I got some solid feedback on his Instagram from the family and didn't shut up about it, so I feel I have to offer my one.

At Stevie McKenna. I'm afraid there aren't any exotic holiday destinations in there, but if anything else, the family can see some photos of my old dog. Oh, InstaEdit. Vaughn has made a note here as well. InstaEdit, amazing photos, mostly of snow activities of late and a homage to Fatboy Slim. XOXO Gossip Girl. Thank you.

All right. I'm going to pass this to you, Megan. YouOXO Gossip Girl. Thank you. All right. I'm going to pass this to you, Megan. You can do some work. Oh, okay. What are we up to? That one there. I'll just put Skittles in my mouth. Is that Sierra?

Yeah, Kiara Sierra. Sierra Derricourt. Hang on. Oh, pronounced Kira. Sorry. Oh, shit. Oh, no. I should know that because I've got a friend that's spelt the same name.

Hi, I'm Kira. Pronounce Kira. It's a traditional Irish spelling, so of course no one can ever say it. I really need to get rid of these skittles in my mouth. I'd love to give a podcast shout out to my sister. N-I-A-M-H. How do you... Niamh.

Oh, okay. You knew that. Pronounce Niamh. And my best friend Lily. You knew that. Pronounce Niamh. And my best friend Lily. I'm 19 and have been listening to you for so long before Megan. And when page of the day was a thing, I remember... Where's the shot glasses? Shot glasses, top drawer, babe.

That's why you're a rock. I remember really well whatever accent you try and do, it always ends up as Indian, which is honestly so true. That's Fletch, isn't it? Yeah, I can't do accents, yeah. I studied law and nutrition at Otago Uni, but grew up in Tauranga and listen to you when I'm walking around uni avoiding people.

The podcast has honestly helped me to get through some really dark times, breakups, flatting and friendship issues. Stress, thank you Lily for being the best friend and always being there for me. Much love, P.S. Fletch. You're, oh do I have to read that? You're my literal fave

human and everything that pisses you off is the same for me while I get annoyed at everything too. Well she knows she's just got a great grasp on life. Just a great outlook. Don't roll your eyes, Anya. All right. Jaden Smith.

Will Smith's son. Oh, yeah. Good. Good to know he listens. I just really wanted to say thank you for preventing the homesickness with your dulcet tones. Lolz at Fletch and Vaughan and Megan. Making a grown-ass man driving a truck in the heart of the USA

cry like a baby. By the time you read this out, I will hopefully be on a plane home to New Zealand after eight months working as part of a harvest crew. I got to meet and work with a lot of cool people. It's been a great way to see parts of the US that most people wouldn't even know about

and getting paid is a real bonus. Anyway, I'm sure Fletch is pissed that I've not used bullet points or gone off for too long. So thanks again, XOXO. No, that was short. No rolling of eyes from Fletch. Easy. Cole Saunders.

Oh, Europe IPSO, Cole Saunders. Howdy. Can I please have a shout out to BK Crew Richmond, especially Big Dick Nick. Big Dick Nick. Caitlin, Google that. Big Dick Nick. Richmond as in...

Nelson Richmond? Yeah, or... Big Dick Nick. Yeah, there's a BK in Richmond. A region? Try Richmond like as in Nelson. Allegedly, enormous donged eagles at QB Leeds team to Super Bowl. Enormous donged.

That doesn't sound like something ESPN would write. It's deadspin.com. Okay, right. So, especially Big Dick Nick, I swear I'm going to cream myself over those pink churros when I get back. Pink churros? Do the pink churros when I get back. Pink churros? Do the pink churros at BK? Oh, Vaughan's got the Nutribullet

out. Okay. Vaughan's doing espresso frappes. I was just wondering if old Rod and Gun stay in hostels when he travels and how he manages to catch the local bird when he's there. I'm confused. There's some bloody lads lingo going on here, James, isn't there? You know some lads lingo?

When you hear it? No, I don't know this lads lingo, though. Right. Scoobity bloody bongo is what this sounds like. I reckon you should all do a personality test and huck us the letters. It would be mind-blowing. Is that that Myers-Briggs one where people are like... You know some people put that on their Tinder profile and shit?

They're like, Bruce, Sally, 22. What? Like swimming, gardening, and NTSB, or whatever the hell. You know, because they have letters that... Yeah, I know the one you're talking about. They have letters that describe your personality type. And there's a whole lot of different ones. And people put them in there, yeah.

Is the show secret that Vaughn actually has a massive penis? No. There was a follow-up guess, and the follow-up guess is correct. Till Lady Die. Yep. Till Lady Die. Till Lady Die. Gabe Hawkins is next.

Quick IPSO, just popping across the ditch to the GC for a bit of sun. This time I'm joined by four mates and I'm meeting up with some people I met in Croatia last year. Born is this Poo Hoy Camembert? It's Brie. Brie. It might be a creamy Brie. I don't think we've got a Camembert. Okay.

Creamy Brie will do. This is Gabe. Poo Hoy Cheeses are today's official cheese sponsor of the international podcast shout-out, Drinky Special. Thanks again to Poo Hoi Cheeses, found in Poo Hoi Valley at Poo Hoi Cafe. P-U-H-O-I, Poo Hoi. Website? Poo Hoi.

PooHoiCheeses.co.nz. Okay. This is my second IPSO. Last year's one was also read out on the Christmas edition, but I was going heading to Egypt, and I could not recommend it enough. I want to go to Egypt. If you get the chance, you should definitely head there. That's all for now. Shout out to Waffle Stomp,

Snot Top, and Mother Hen. Lads. From Rooster. The lads. Okay. Is it Kappy? Kappy Hill? K-A-P-P-Y? That's not a... The lads. Is it Cappy Catherhill? K-A-P-P-Y? That's not a...

Cappy, yeah, sure. Cappy Catherhill is next. Can I please give a shout-out to my best friend of 16 years who held me at digital gunpoint to send her a shout-out last year. I moved from New Zealand to Amsterdam to go to the University of Amsterdam. My best friend and I must have been twins in a past life or something because I swear even apart I still feel just as close to her. Hannah, you're trash.

Love you, bye. Also, FVM, I listen to the podcast every day on the tram ride home. Oh, that's nice. Thanks, Cappy. Thanks, Cappy. Christian Becker. I am currently writing this instead of studying for my final uni exams, Cappy. Thanks, Cappy. Christian Becker. I am currently writing this instead of studying for my final uni exams as I'm studying science of kinesiology,

which is the scientific study of human or non-human body movement. Kinesiology. How's it spelt? Show me how it's spelt. K-A-I-human body movement. Kinesiology. How's it spout? Show me how it's spout. K-I-N-E. Kinesiology. Kinesiology. Kinesiology addresses physiological,

biomechanical, and psychological dynamic principles and mechanisms of movement. Now, you be careful, please, if only a woman in the United States had her Nutribullet blow up in her. In her? On her. It blow up in her? In her? On her. It blew up in her.

At the University of Alberta in Canada. She had a different attachment, Caitlin. We have... I don't get it. We've been featured on the show a couple of times, most notably as the uni in Canada with the highest number of searches for sugar daddies. You guys are my companion every day as I train to and from uni, and my Canadian mates don't understand why I listen to a Kiwi podcast

so religiously, but whatever, they must sing out. I want to dedicate this shout-out to my good mate Callum, who introduced me to you guys a couple of years ago as we road-tripped around Australia. We each take an earphone and chuckle to ourselves as to not wake up the rest of our sleeping van during the night drives he got married this year

and is back in Australia so for now our road trip adventures are put on hold I am also requesting the shout out for myself I'll wrap this up though

check out my Instagram at Christian I think that's an underscore at Christian Becker handsome man great photos oh is that that's Vaughn's Christian Becker. Handsome man, great photos. Oh, is that?

That's Vaughn's note. He's just a heterosexual man. Handsome man. Motherfuckers, I've got espresso martinis. Why are they the last one? Yup! Yup! Whose name's on that glass? They look orange.

Have you tried these, by the way? No. They look orange. We're all trying them together at exactly the same time. That's so nice. Yeah, now who made us the glasses? These are the special glasses. Vaughn has the backstory.

Does it say McGoose? But I believe Show and Graver has something to do with this. Vaughn, does it, Alex? Oh, do you know what it actually smells pretty good. Alex Perkins, Show and Graver got us these glasses on behalf of the Ipso fam, the Facebook page family, which you can join. Just search FEMS. What's happening, Anya?

You what? It smells good. Okay, don't drink it yet. I'm going to get everybody else's. It's like splitting like a coffee. Okay, let me finish Christian's one. Thank you for blessing my days with heaps of laughs. Shut it.

Thanks for blessing my days with heaps of laughs and weird grins that confuse my fellow uni students. Keep doing you, Christian. Did you look up Christian on Instagram? Fletch? No. I'm going to lose my voice. Christian underscore Becker. Am I going to move on to Nessa or are we going to try these?

What? We're going to... Hang on, Nessa. I think we're going to try these? What? We're going to. Hang on, Nessa. I think we're going to try these espresso frappers or something. No, Fletch. Listen to instructions. Don't try it. We're all tasting it together.

Typical. This is just. Never. Doesn't have any patience. So I've just made my own espresso martinis. It's got some instant Macona in it. Water. Some coffee infused.

Whiskey. Whiskey. A little bit of sugar. Cheers. Cheers everyone. Cheers. To Princess Di. Oh, that's strong, but I like it.

It's strong, but it's not horrible. It's not horrible. But it's fucking awful. I'm a big fan. It needs a bit more. I'm a fan. You like it. Yeah, I'm a fan.

I think the girls are expecting it to be a bit sweeter. Because it doesn't have the liqueur in there. It doesn't have Kahlua and it doesn't have like a sweet liqueur. Yeah, it's just like a... It's just like a terrible... It's just like a cold instant coffee. Champagne glass. Yeah.

I don't want that going up your fufu. With whiskey and vodka in it. Fuck me. Bryce, if that thing goes up your fufu, that'd be a trip to A&E. It wouldn't go up my fufu. It's too big. Oh, Christ. That is awful.

You can have mine. Here you go. No, it's good. It's enlightening. Up to Nessa. I need to go wheeze again now. I'll do this. Caitlin's all red.

You've got the flush. I don't like it. It's disgusting. No, it's awful. Nessa says, G'day from southwest of Western Australia, original home of Bunnings. Who knew?

Who knew? I knew it was an Australian start. Shout out to the fam. I've never seen such an amazing group of people. There's so much love and kindness. Fucking majestic. Love you all. A big truckers.

To my FEM fam, Tanker Crew, Ben D, David R, and Michael G. Julie Bean, Kia Kaha Babes, Illy, Tanker Crew, Ben D, David R, and Michael G. Julie Bean, Kia Kaha Babes, Illy,

Alex, your big old motherfucker, lol. And you guys, thanks for the podcast. Merry Christmas. May it be filled with love and laughter. Good luck for the Winnie Magoos.

Love you all. Thank you. Oh, you guys have got through some here. This is really good. Good effort from you. Oh, thanks in a condescending fucking manner. Next is India Cable. She says, greetings from Riga.

Enjoying a long weekend in Latvia to take in some Christmas markets and indulge in an excessive amount of gingerbread and mulled wine. Fun fact, Latvia is apparently the original home to the Christmas tree put up in 1510. Like the other Baltic countries, Latvia is a really cool and interesting mix of Scandinavian and Soviet influence, and lots of pretty fairytale towns. Highly recommend a visit. I just wanted a quick shout out to my friend Nick, who recently moved to the side of the pond. I originally met Nick through one of my favourite humans, Ashley, but now that I've found Nick as a fellow podcast fan, I think he may have become the better half of the couple.

Happy to have you in the London fam. Also, a wee hello to my bestie Jane, who's experiencing her first Canadian winter. Miss you loads, and please don't get hyperthermia. Huge thanks to you guys for the lols. Looking forward to 2018. Merry Christmas. Brittany Reddington, hola amigos. Hola.

Hola. I'd like to request a podcast shout-out from Poto Escondido, a beautiful beachside town in Mexico. I'm from Dunedin, and I'm traveling around Mexico, Cuba, Guatemala, and Nicaragua before making the move to Wellington to start my first real job as a lawyer.

My shout-outs to my brother Cam, my mum Megan, who both love the podcast, listen every day. Mum says none of her friends understand why she listens to a podcast, but that doesn't stop her from laughing herself to sleep

every night to your daughter. So, Tos, yeah, fuck you. Go, mum. Fuck you, Megan. Mum Megan rules. I'm listening to the podcast as I write this. You guys have kept me company through Mexico so far. Particularly useful in drowning out the noises of other backpackers in my hostel.

Fucking Germans. I've stayed in one hostel backpacker situation. It was in Wanaka. The fucking Germans. They love to get up at 4 a.m. and rustle a plastic bag. They're a snoring bunch. They talk. They come in and they turn on the light.

Yeah. Like they have a secret service. Oh, hostels are just. Wake up. Wake up. You will not tell us everything you know. The only issue is that if I listen to you when I fall asleep, I also can't charge

my phone overnight because of the ridiculous iPhone 7 onwards headphone jack power charger situation. Worth having a dead phone though sometimes. What are you guys sharing?

What's being shared over here on the two and a half seater? So I put an Instagram story up of our hangout. Yeah. And someone messaged and saying,

is Sade doing the back dishes in the back? Oh, that's Tracy Coxedge. Well done. Was it actually Sade doing the dishes? Yeah. I think she was just

doing a platter. Wasn't she plattering at the time? No, this was during Sunny and Shia not too long ago. Oh, okay. And she was just tinkering around't she plattering at the time? No, this was during Sunny and Shia not too long ago. Oh, okay. And she was just tinkering around. Tinkering in the kitchen.

Hannah Smeha is next. Kia ora whānau. This is a shout out to my husband on the 15th of December. We celebrate 10 years of marriage and 15 years of being together. Yes, we're crazy kids who go together at 18 and are still going strong today. We celebrated by having five nights in the beautiful Pacific Island nation of New Caledonia. We were on Escapade Island for two nights in an ooh-la-la rover

water bungalow. The island is surrounded by a marine reserve, and on more than one occasion, a turtle would just swim past our room. Oh, my God. That's top-notch stuff. I swam with a turtle on the Great Barrier Reef, and it was great fun. Are you not drinking your espresso martini oh fine yeah i don't want mine either millennials absolutely ungrateful caitlin's left hers up on the bench

you forget your roots you forget that you're from rural new zealand and we drink anything all right yep that's how you get a big old dick espresso martinis we do not drink Espresso martinis It's not from our roots We drink Espresso Espresso Espresso There's no X What did I say? Espresso

Espresso Well you express yourself Espresso Anyway Thanks for the podcast The shout out is For you guys I didn't cotton on

To what podcast We were until recently It sounds stupidly Soppies But you've got me through some tough times. I don't want to bring the mood down and tell you all about them. Just know it was a great distraction during something I would describe as traumatic. I've been listening to the back catalogue and can tell you that the deal Vaughn and Megan have

is for Vaughn to bring up the moustache situation should Megan ever get one. And Megan promised Vaughn that she'd let him know if the back of his head ever started looking like one of those fat, hairless cats sitting down. That's true. That's true. Do we have a deal of anything? We're going to shove you off a cliff as soon as anything breaks.

Oh, I think I'm going to. Yes. Yeah, good call. When you're old. Thank you. Thank you. Just as soon as something breaks, it was. XOXO Gossip Girl from Hanna.

That pinched Nervous. I don't know what the problem is. That espresso martini is nothing short of cocktail James is double parked with his with Caitlin's it's not too bad if you like a strong coffee that'll be right up your alley now

just chuck some coffee and some whiskey infused coffee and some vodka in a blender oh no thanks it's quite strong though I don't think you'd have too many Sylvie Possilthwaite is next Possil Waite Oh, no, thanks. It's quite strong, though. I don't think you'd have too many. Sylvie Possilthwaite is next. Possilthwaite.

Long-time listener. First time IPSower. I've been wanting to send one since 2014. So here I am. You guys have followed me around the world. I downloaded podcasts when I climbed Mount Fuji. I listen on a one-and-a-half-hour train commute to Tokyo each day. And cycle commutes in London.

I don't actually recommend this. Many crashes happen with pedestrians just walking into cycle lanes without looking. A big shout out to Shay. She doesn't always understand the Kiwi humor, but she tries her hardest. Also, hi to the Cowley clan, who I know listen. Insert pondering from Vaughn as if they're in a relation to Joy Cowley, which was exactly what I thought the minute I read

Cowley. But no word of whether or not they are actually related to Joy Cowley. Was it Margaret Mayhew or Joy Cowley? Every time. Every time you ask. Margaret Mayhew. Margaret Mayhew has a drink drive conviction.

She enjoyed a drink. She enjoyed a cooking sherry. 2018 will see me moving to Canada for a few years. I look forward to the dulcet tones in the air holes while trying to learn to snowboard. Shameless Insta plug is Sylvie Beth. S-I-L-V-I-E Beth. It's mainly travel snaps, sunsets, foods, and roller derby. I'm lucky enough to have skated for teams in four countries now.

New Zealand and Tokyo for the roller girls, Glasgow for the Roller Derby, and Scotland, and now LRR in London. In the last year, I've travelled all over the UK as well as trips to France and the Netherlands to play. And before anyone asks us what my derby name is, I have one of those boring skaters who skates under their real name. However, with a name like Puzzleweight, people always assume it's a derby name.

True. Podcast is a good homesickness cure And I'm looking forward to 2018 And the fam on the Ipso FB page from Sylvie Brian Kirkhoven is next I listen to the podcasts every day Vaughan your kids are about the same age as mine Except I've got three So I see a lot of familiarities.

Familiarity. Familiarities. I want to point out, I'd rather listen to you guys every day over anything on Montreal radio, not to mention that half of it's in French because technically the official language in Quebec is French.

I know, I've said that before. It surprised me, Quebec. With how French it is. So French. Because know, I've said that before. It surprised me. Quebec? With how French it is. So French. Because if you guys, the number one thing on my bucket list is come to New Zealand and if I ever get there,

we should share a whiskey and swap stories about going to the garage to hide the dad tears. Always welcome. You can see pictures of my cute kids on my Instagram. Brian with a Y, B-R-Y-A-N, MTL83. He plays Dodgebo. This is a Voicemith Instagram comment slash edit. Dodgebo is where they shoot fucking darts at each other and have to dodge them.

So like dodgeball, but both. You know in cartoons how they shoot, or the Green Arrow in DC. Four different drinks glasses at my left. He would shoot an arrow that would have a boxing glove on it. You know, like comics would have, like you'd shoot it and it would punch the bad guy in the head. Oh, yeah. So Dodgeball effectively fires these giant foam-ended darts.

And if you get hit, you're out. It's like dodgeball, but like they fire them at each other. It's crazy. Thanks for the podcast. Listen every day. Au revoir, Brian from Montreal. Angela, I'm on... Oh, no.

Did we do Sian? Sian Emery? No, we didn't do Sian Emery. No, no, we didn't. No. Sian Emery says, shout out to my cousins Sylvia and Nio and their friend Georgia Stokes,

the three people I know who actually listen I wish I could be home this year but alas I'm being a big girl having my first Australian Christmas lots of love to oh it's not Sheehan it's Sian I have to go phonetic

so my shout outs will make sense P.S. thanks for the podcasts I listen while I'm on the tram and sometimes look like a nut bower Angela Mendoza in Kabul. I actually sent you guys an episode a while ago when I moved to Detroit from the North Shore. And an update, I'm not dead.

I've been here for almost five years and I'm thinking about getting a citizenship. I listen to you guys almost religiously and it's what keeps me from getting homesick. Bye, GCs. Hope you have a good one. Really miss Minson Cheese Pies. Send me one in the post, please.

From the shore to Detroit I know that's quite something Wow I watched that documentary On Netflix About the Flint Police Department Oh did you? Michigan

Oh wow That's so They're busy people Well it's one of the most Dangerous places in America Yeah They've got like Four police cars

Well that's not enough So this next one Is from Colin He's from Ireland He's been in New Zealand Two years And he's been listening one year. Took a while to differentiate Fletch from Vaughan.

Maybe a month or so. So technically that's not too bad. Not me, but my girlfriend's Instagram is Royzen, like raisin but with an O. M-A-I-R-E, like Marie, but the I and the R are in a different way. Secret, show secret is, and then he's done a very good sort of an ASCII.

You know, before there was emoji, you could draw pictures like there's eight, which is the balls and then a shaft and then that. Yeah, going into a donut looking. So is that the show secret? Yeah, right. Yes. Show secret means a toast to Princess Diana's immortal. To Princess Di.

To Princess Diana. To Princess Di. Oh, that's strong. That's a good cocktail you've made here, Vaughn. Thank you. That's good improvisation. Thank you. You sounded funny, so when Ray left his radio shows,

you guys moved into his podcast place. Oh, this is his mate that does radio as well. Also, shout out to Ben Finnegan. I don't know him, but he keeps cropping up in different podcasts i listen to trying to plug his own podcast so i thought i'd say hi uh vaughn i'm the one that snapchatted with you the idea of domino vemba the evening after you did it not knowing because i listened to the podcast so i hadn't heard it yet from so now i'm fully in sync with the show uh that was a great november great november are we doing that again this year uh

we'll see it's quite hard we come up with new ideas all the time. We always forget about it until October 30th. You said last year we would never do it again. But it's like everything. I've had a rest. I'm ready for it. I haven't figured out the Gossip Girl reference yet, but XOXO, Colin, Gossip Girl.

Sage Harris says, I'm writing from the lovely Pacific Island of Niue. Vaughan, it's a must on your island conquest. Ladies and gents, a podcast shout out is for Abby, Jess, and Liv, who, as I do, rely on your recommendations for Netflix. And also my wife, who puts up with me playing the podcast daily in the kitchen. She's a saint. Finally, last time, Jess and Gabby traveled to the big wide world.

They gave me a shout out and also promised they would ask the show secret but didn't for some reason. I know it's obvious but I need confirmation. Is the show secret? Yes. They didn't ask, just wrote yes themselves. To Princess Diana. To Princess Diana. My God, play this game at home.

Oh. Thank you for giving me clarity. Those are getting harder to drink. The further down you get, it's like the booze is sinking How are you going James Because you originally were A big fan of these cocktails Yeah no the second one's definitely

It doesn't make it easier That's for sure I feel like the mix sat too long After a Nutribullet And it Yeah It all sunk Hayden Dean is next

For a podcast Shout out I'm currently living In Nottingham in the UK And I've been listening since 2012 I had a shout out in 2013 for the Huddersfield Uni snow sports

I remember that Huddersfield oh I have the hoodie yeah you do the Huddersfield hoodie I'd like to dedicate this shout out to two people

my best mate Jacob and myself it's actually going to be my last chance to squeeze in the episodes as I'm moving to the far lands of Aotearoa

in February and I can't wait okay I got Jacob to listen to the podcast when he had to borrow my iPad iPod sorry to drain out the podcast when he had to borrow my iPod to drain out the drunken snoring one night on a ski trip.

And the time since he's become a devout listener and listens to you guys on the commute every day. He actually sent you a story earlier this year about Pound World customers who got tricked into doing humiliated tasks by a prank caller. I remember that. Yeah, yeah. It was recently his birthday in November, which was all set to be a night quietish evening.

Walking into the first bar, we were greeted with a massive cheer, and it turned out to be a room full of my mates dressed in New Zealand fancy dress. Sacrificing his own birthday night, he'd secretly been organising me a leave-and-do for months. I just wanted to say cheers, buddy, and I'll miss you. And when I'm gone, hopefully you can make it to the Southern Hemisphere sometime in the near future. I decided to make the move to New Zealand after finally becoming debt-free, turning 30, and craving a lifestyle change. Ever since I booked my tickets,

people keep asking me why I'm moving, especially as I have no work lined up and I've never been there before. Aside from the fact that every friend who's been there loved it and I've never been a bad Kiwi, the main reason is the way you guys paint your country. Don't know if international listeners can still swing by the studio,

but it'd be amazeballs to kickstart my move with a cheeky visit. It'd mean heaps to grab a photo with the team. Sorry, I've lost the word. Sorry, not sorry. Message the inbox. We'll make it happen. Joe Silver is next.

This is bullet pointed. I'm Joe Silver. I'm 24 years old. I'm 6'1.5". You can tell the people in the room that have had the coffee drinks. Are they jazzed? Yeah. They're pumping through.

Message the group. We'll make it happen. Make an old bloody Anya over there googling paddle boards. Another bloody sleepy millennial. No, I've got a new design app. Talk into the bloody microphone. I've got a new design app.

What is that? It's called Design Home. Is it like my one? Yeah, I'm just popping together a living room at Prudence. Can't see. Your screen's black. Balls, how did that happen? Whose living room are you using?

Well, I'm not sure. I've not asked their name yet. It's just like a... Oh, that green couch is fucking hideous. You're fired. Let me say it. That green couch is a monstrosity. A teal or a mint green couch.

It's a pop of colour. It's not a mint green couch. It's a pop of colour. It's not a pop of colour. It's a bloody eyesore. The contrast with the exposed brick is harmonious. Now, I love exposed brick as long as it's painted white, but a teal green couch shan't be parked in front of it. Yuck. I don't want a pop of colour.

Jesus, keep it neutral. Christ, you millennials, you love to get out of control. We're running this episode on a flight to Tokyo from London. I'm currently crossing Siberia. So really, this is episode Inception. Side note, what a film. What? Oh, Inception.

Right, I see. That's the spinning cocktail. I need to re-watch that. The Japanese man next to me has drunk three wines and is out for the count. I really need the toilet, but I'm afraid to wake him up. What would you do? I'd just get over him, climb over him. I'm in Japan for three weeks with my cousin.

We're cycling from Hiroshima to Tokyo. Hold the applause. After recent show discussions for Kit Kats, I'm on a mission to try every flavour I see. We'll be cycling from Hiroshima along the south coast to Omanuchi, then on to to Kobe where Kobe beef made its first appearance And that is a delicious slice of beef Stopping in Kyoto where they signed the Kyoto Protocol

An effort internationally to reduce greenhouse emissions And the base of Mount Fuji then on to Tokyo at the end of the trip I've stocked up on podcasts for the last three weeks. I should have enough to get your accents through the twisty sushi-laden roads. My drive to work hasn't been the same in the last three weeks as I've been banking it, though. The inspiration for the trip came from watching Lost in Translation at least once a month for the last several years. See, I like that movie, but not as much as everybody else, it turns out. I thought it was okay, but it's not like a cult classic. No, no.

But everybody seems to love it. Peace and love. If any of the family see two pasty white boys riding bikes through the Japanese countryside, holler at us. Do these emojis accurately describe the show secret? Yes, they do. To Princess Diana. Princess Diana. P.S. I have

awoken the drunken Japanese man and he is not happy. XOXO, Illy Babes. Fuck that guy. You don't fall asleep on a plane when you're on an aisle seat and expect people not to wake you up to go away. Yeah, no. Too bad.

That's why you always aim for a window. Now, who's going to have this last one that Caitlin abandoned? She just flattered about it. You should probably have it. No, I don't think I want it. Okay. Back to the gin and tonic. I need a low alcohol option

for two drinks. Just maybe a weak gin and tonic, please. Thank you. The gin's gone and so is your waiter. Fucking, are you kidding me?

We've got Bombay. Oh, we've got Bombay. Okay, just... Oh, is it Sapphire? It's your Bombay Sapphire, yeah. It's not Beefeater. At least it's not Beefeater gin. It's not Beefeater.

I don't get up at that time in the morning. I don't get up at that time in the morning to drink fucking Beefeater. At least it's not Beefeater gin. It's not Beefeater. I don't get up at that time of the morning. I don't get up at that time of the morning to drink fucking Beefeater gin. We're better than that. We're all better than that. They're pretty much the same, right? I don't know. In terms of bars, bottoms down. I don't back myself to tell the difference, to be honest.

Matty Jones is next. Quick shout out to move to BFF's Grace Carr and Lucy Inder. Sorry, Vaughn, just to interrupt. Anya, were you refusing to get a gin and tonic for us? Where's Caitlin? She's gone for shit. What? Oh, she's doing some work in the playroom.

Are you using the desk? Take the keyboard off if you need to use the desk. She's lying on the sheepskin. That's disguised as a polar bear. Okay. Well, you're going to have to do the drinks, Sonia. Thank you. Grace and I flattered, trimmed, and basically did everything together at uni.

We were often mistaken for lesbian lovers. We were once told by a gay friend that we would be lipstick lesbians. So we found that okay and a compliment. We spent a year exploring Europe together, getting up to all sorts of mischief and hilarity. Vaughan, you may remember getting a lot of mileage out of a leprous looking Italian man who offered us, this sex is good

for the health. Well, she's living the dream now in London and smashing it. So proud. Lucy and I have been besties literally since we were five years old and last year got to go to the beautiful Central America together. Born and born as well. Born and born as well.

The beautiful Central America together. She's been away ever since. So many incredible laughs. One of the most memorable being an old man leaning across us in a van to sell a live chicken out the window. Lucy absolutely not embracing

the travel of life since quitting her banking job. I can't bloody wait to live with her the next year when she comes back to sunny Tauranga. Also, quick shout out to old mate Jordan Taufer, who I

see lurking around the fan page. Hope all is well. Since retiring my hard-working old pack, after three years of globetrotting, I've gone back to uni this year to finish qualifying as a psychologist and just been accepted into the clinical program, which is so bloody exciting. I feel it justifies taking three years out of life to be

self-indulgent and see the world. You've accompanied me on my travels, now my drives to and from work thanks for the podcast uh from maddie johns thank you uh ashley burrell long time listener first time shout out adora i moved to london six months ago for a little adventure and to branch out with my business the borrowed collective i'd had the absolute pleasure of me and my gals dressing chard a before the borrowed collective was that the dress place that i had to fold and put back in the I'd had the absolute pleasure of me and my girls dressing Sade before. Borrowed Collective. The Borrowed Collective. Was that the dress place that I had to fold and put back in the litter box

because no one was home? Is that the place? Yeah, okay, it is. Well, that was a great service, actually. I've had the absolute pleasure of me and my girls dressing Sade and having a shout-out from Vaughan about how much my business was saving money. That's very true. Have also been mentioned a few times from Magoo Goo,

which we jumped up and down about. Oh, really? Have you borrowed Collective It? I don't know. Or do we talk – we may have talked about them at some stage. Yeah, no, I've definitely – I know about the Borrowed Collective. Have to say a quick shout-out for – thanks for the podcast. I helped a lot, especially for the Air New Zealand parties

on my way back to New Zealand a month ago last minute when my granddad was dying, which sadly I didn't make it in time for. Sorry to hear that. Granddad's a super important aspect of everybody's life. Just wanted to say how amazed the podcast is and the podcast family as well for tough times and getting everybody through. Fletch, I saw you at Madonna last year.

You were actually, I was actually next to you and I was super stoked to quickly realise how much fun you were having. That's right, yeah. You went there, right? Who did we go with? Gillian and... Yeah, but who else?

I feel like there was other people. Did Zac Fajar? Zac Fajar, maybe. Because it was before Zac Fajar went. And then she didn't do Like a Prayer and then the next night she did. What a cunt. Did she do Material Girl?

Like a Vogue? Yeah, but she never does Like a Virgin. No, what one did I say? Yeah, Like a Virgin. And then she did it the next night. And then she did it the next night out of the blue. Like, you fucking bitch. Madonna, you're losing someone over here.

You're losing a fan. I mean, she's no Cher, but Cher doesn't count. I can't agree with that more. Thank you. Much love from freezing cold London from Ashley. Thank you, Ashley. Alex Haywood is writing this from the campfire under the stars in the Sahara desert. Oh, get out.

After singing Africa with the local Berber guides. Tick that shit off the bucket list. Shameless Insta plug, but I've got some pretty okay photos from Morocco and other European gems. My Instagram is findingx underscore. I'm bloody desperate for the see more swipe up function, so I'll happily take a couple of international podcast

Can't wait to see you in February when I return home for a few family weddings and a summer road trip. Love you loads. Also, a quick thanks to you guys for the podcast. Listen, when I'm commuting on public transport, you're a blessing.
