Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the Zidium podcast Network.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's Fleechborn and Haley's a little bit of pod. Welcome
to a little bit of pod.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
And you know, it blows my mind with all the
advance and technology and all the disruption that we've had,
even in the last like you know, five years alone.
I got an uber the other day at Melbourne Airport.
It landed and normally you put in your address where
you're going too, and it'll be like, okay, your guys

(00:29):
are k away. You know, you'll watch them come on
the little map and then you've got to find them
in the line of people. So many some airports have
got pretty organized and they'll be like Bay nine for
your guy, and you're like, love that love Auckland Airport's
just done this reluctantly after putting the ubers like you know,
eight k's away from the main They love being teased
about this, don't they. But Melbourneyport was different and it

(00:52):
said here's your pin number, and I was like, and
I've had pin numbers before overseas and like South America
where it's a bit dodgy.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
So you get in the car and you're.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Like on doors, today's quattro and they put one, two, three,
for it's a real test of your Spanish.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
When you're the uber drivers coming, you're like.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Okay, quatch it all and you're just like practicing how
to even say it. But so it was like, here's
your pin number, and I was like weird, and I
got to whether ubers pick you up curbside right outside
the exit and they've turned into the old school line
for a taxi and you just get whatever uber driver
comes first, Yeah, and you just give them the pin number.

(01:31):
And I'm like, we've gone full circle, just like streaming television,
just like streaming has become television with ads now. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Like we've gone all the way from like all this
amazing technology and disrupting the industry and then coming back
to no, we're just gonna all line up and just
wait for the first one that turns up.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah I know, I know, I know. I was this
like this is the last time I was there.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Maybe I know.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
I liked it because you you got it ubers because
there's so many ubers they can just they don't have to.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Wast and you just go.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
It's another situation, one of those cases everything goes full circle.
Like people who like Conan O'Brien's a great example. He
stopped doing a TV talk show because of the fuss
and the video and everything, and then he started doing
the podcast.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
He's like, this is great. They're like, we want to
video the podcast.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
They put him a podcast and the video on it,
and he's like, now I'm just doing a team without
an audience.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
I know, he's just doing a TV show without an audience.
Weekly this show, it's wild.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
It all just like we move away and then we
just come around because it works, doesn't it?

Speaker 4 (02:29):
It works? I know why not? I mean, it's just
you know, I guess they're just trying to move things
along quicker.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah, I mean I was all for it.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
I liked it, but I never I don't think we
really experience that in New Zealand as much as like,
if you'd ever been to New York before Uber, there
were taxi lines, you know, outside you'd be outside medicine
Square gardens, you'd line up on a massive line.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
In the Texas past, the yellow cabs.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Never been in a yellow cab.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
I love the black cabs in London.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
Yeah, because I got on one of those and then
half I run and realized I'd forgotten my wallet and
I said, I'm.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Not gonna be able to pay, and he said, there
is a way you can pay.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
That's not the that's not an official black cab fake text.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
I thought that said because they're still black cab drivers
have to memorize every street in London, right, yes, and
blows my mind they still do that, Like just put
a fucking Google Maps.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Google Maps isn't going to tell you the traffic on
the way you want to go. You know, it's Unrealay,
it's just the old school mate. Yeah, mate, your old school.
It's getting off fucking oos Tower. That's how he talked.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Put into a nice quiet country lane and pop back
there and see when I saw this out.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
It's like that audition you went for for that movie too,
on that casting couch.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, that weird little black too, said a leather couch.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Shouldn't go.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Well, they can't pay me today, but they will pass
my photos onto agents that could be paid.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
And then you got stuck on the drive walking into trouble.
You just went to open the shower door and suddenly
you were stuck in the box. Help me, help me.
I think my step brother was home. Thank god he
was home.
