- 2020 August 10, Michael Cusack, “The Dusty Truck 'n' Donut Muster” (2:53 from the start), in YOLO: Crystal Fantasy‎^[1], season 1, episode 2, spoken by Rachel (Todor Manojlovic):
  “---- it's hot in here. Sweating like a ---- dog. Chuck the air con on.” “Yeah, alright.” (BLEEP!) “Got dust all in my throat from walking outside.” “Ugh!” (GROANS) “Yeah, that air con's doing nothing, eh? My ----'s like a ---- cheese factory down here.”
- 2023 January 26, Pip Dunn, “Merseyrail '777s' are OK for commuters”, in RAIL, number 988, page 60:
  As I say, it was a very hot day, and I found that the air-con was better on 777013 than either 777001 or 777009. There are, however, no emergency hopper windows, so if the air-con goes down on a hot day, you will cook!
