Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod.

It's my birthday next week. I'm excited. I love my birthday. I've always loved my birthday.

It's about me and... You won't stop going on about it, will you?

Yeah, I know. Well, I'm excited for what my boys have planned for me.

Something incredible. And she would plan nothing.

Why would you do that? Open the suggestions.

Well, just, you know, with the cost of living crisis.

Well, we're taking... What about a wrap?

We are taking her out for dinner.

Are you? Yeah. Where do you think we're taking her?

Where are we going? Well, where do you think we're going?

You're going to get Flamie to Queenstown, and we're going to go to Blue Canoe.

What's your second guess?

Or you're going to Flamie to Christchurch, and we're going to go to Fifth Street.

If there's no flying involved, what do you think?

Oh, my God, you're taking me to that expensive Japanese masu?

No. What?

If it was sort of had more budgetary constructions.

If it was like really close to your house.

The pub?

Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, that works. That works. She guessed.

Oh, my God, you boys are too good to me.

Now, speaking of shit gifts.

So Aaron's birthday is two days before mine, fiance Aaron.

And we weren't going to do gifts this year because we've been renovating,

and that's the gift, right?

Yep.

Then I had it in my head that I'm going to surprise him,

and I've bought him a PlayStation 5.

Are you leaving this hand of the bag early?

Don't tell him.

Listeners, dear listeners, do not tell.

Oh, yeah. Please don't, because it's going to make his day.

Like I said to him that he's not allowed a PlayStation,

because the house is too aesthetically pleasing,

and that I find that really unattractive man sitting on the couch playing games.

There's something about it that just crushes my body.

Oh, you don't have to watch, bitch.

My fucking house, bitch.

Anyway, so I bought it yesterday.

Now, what brought on?

What brought this on?

Brought on the boarding.

Yeah, what brought on this?

She bought the PlayStation, but the thought was brought on.

Well, when I was in Melbourne, I was with my brother, who is a sim racer.

So he, like a Formula One simulation racer.

So, and he has, he builds units.

You didn't tell me you were related to a nerd.

I know, I'm a big nerd.

Big nerd.

He builds his own kits, they're called,

with like a driver's seat and pedals and steering wheels

and all this kind of stuff.

Yeah, she's going to marry a nerd, because Aaron messaged me.

He watches all the Star Wars TV shows, and Hailey's kept it very quiet.

I know, I'm embarrassed.

Wow.

Anyway, and my brother was talking about like,

such joy it brings him, and I was like, oh,

I feel like a dick saying that Aaron can't have what he wants.

So I was like, perfect, his birthday's coming up.

It'll be such a surprise.

Wait, so he can finally get this PlayStation.

He can finally get the PlayStation.

He has no idea, I've bought him a great game.

All wrapped up and I've done it in layers.

So he has to like, pass the parcel, opens, and it's like little clue.

Open little clue, open little clue,

and then this says the next one's really going to give it away.

So open this one, then open the next one really quick,

and it's the game, and then it's going to be a really fun day.

Aaron's very good at getting gifts.

He's a good gift receiver.

So good.

Like he reacts to it.

Yeah.

I'm always like, wow, this is cool.

But it comes across, maybe I'm trying to ham it up,

but he's sarcastic.

Genuinely like, it's eyes light up.

Yeah, oh my god.

No, he's great.

You can buy him a Toby jug,

like one of those old jugs with a face on it.

He'll be like, cool.

Yes.

Anyway, so then when I was out shopping yesterday for this,

I was like, you know what, he's so busy and you know,

like I don't want him to feel he's going to open that two days

before my birthday and be like, holy shit,

she spent like $900 on this, like very expensive.

So in order to not make him feel bad,

I just went and bought the new book from my favorite author

and a card, and I gave it to him.

I said, wrap that up.

Wait, so you gave this to him yesterday?

I gave him my gift to give to me,

so that he can just know that I've chosen my own present,

and he's going to wrap it,

and then he's going to open his present and still feel like shit.

But I just brought my own one.

And I was like, that's all I want.

You have been against the PlayStation idea,

because this, you are so often out drinking with your friends

and partying.

Yeah, I'm just coming to that realization.

That he's home alone.

It's a babysitter.

And this is about, this is going to totally,

he's never going to message you and say, why aren't you home?

Yeah, I know.

He's just going to be like, sweet PlayStation time.

Yeah, I know, I know.

This is actually really with my favor.

Yeah.

At your usual time of 2.33 in the morning,

shit-faced, and he'll be like, are you home already?

Because he's been playing PlayStation,

and time has just evaporated.

Yeah, oh my God, we're going to have dinner.

I'm like, God damn, no, it shows.

He'll be sober, and his eyes will need a break,

so he'll cook you a little, I mean, it's a win-win-win-win.

Absolutely, win-win-win.

And I get to read the new Ken Fullet, and I'm very excited.

And I'm assuming you've got some kind of console thing

to hide the PlayStation, so it's not yuck.

Yeah, man, that thing's not going to see the light of day.

No, no, gross.

You've got, it's got to have ventilation,

because they do heat up.

So this thing's going to set my house on fire.

No, if you, if you're using it, just pop open the door.

So I can breathe.

I regret this already.

They're ugly, they're ugly, man.

They're so ugly, so ugly, they need to be hidden.

It's gross.
