And this is Smith & Sniffer podcast in which two friends talk about cars and many other things. [upbeat music] My brother, um, asked me if I wanted to go via, take a shortcut via the mummified fox the other night.
Richard Porter· Host0:23
What?
Johnny Smith· Host0:23
He picked me up. He had to take me, uh... You know, when you gotta drop a car off somewhere and you need to get back to- Mm ... to where the other car is or where your home is. Just, just boring logistics.
Richard Porter· Host0:35
Mm.

And looked like there was a bit of traffic on the A1, so Greg was like, "Hey, um, let's just, let's just come off here. We'll go down, um, on the underpass via the mummified fox." And I was like, "W- is- what do you mean the mummified fox?" He went, "Come on."
Richard Porter· Host0:51
Is it- "You know, the mummified fox un- underpass."
Johnny Smith· Host0:55
And I said, "No."
Richard Porter· Host0:56
Is it a pub?
Johnny Smith· Host0:57
He said, "It's been there for about five years."
Richard Porter· Host0:59
What?
Johnny Smith· Host1:00
I said, "It's fi- been there for five years?" He said, "Yeah, yeah. Anyway." So he d- he pulled off and drove under this underpass, and he s- and he slowed down 'cause there wasn't a car behind, and he went, "Look, just there." And he said, "It must have got hit by a car years ago-" Mm. "... poor thing, knocked to the side of the road. But because it was under the underpass, it was both dry and out of sight for birds of prey- Oh, yeah ... and any other carrion-eating warriors."
