Speaker 1 (00:00):

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

Speaker 1 (00:09):
You guys know this of me. I have a superpower
and it's falling asleep on planes.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
I know.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
I'm so jealous, like I just and like mostly Shorthaul.
Then I'll just be able to get on a one
hour flight as soon as the rumble of taking off starts.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
I'm and the joy for us, Vaughn is that we
get to take photos of Haley with her mouth open, like.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
The worst side profile like that. Well, I flew down
to Queenstown over the over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
And filming the secret TV show that I'm doings.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
It was the week before that I was in Queenstown
filming the secret TV show that you know one's supposed
to know about me.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Telling everyone, and that people are really excited to keep it.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Like how's I'm like? So I fly down to Queenstown
and I am awoken by I guess my body being
sort of thrown about to be woken up by a lover. Yes,
and we should do it more consensually, but no, I
wasn't being worken up by a lover.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
I just want to clarify when she said we should
do it more consensually, you mean everybody, not just you
and I. Oh god, no, yes, clarify that.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Just put a clarification on. That is me and Flitch,
you and Flitch anyone. Anyway, I wasn't working up by
a lover. I was working up by horrendous turbulence. Next
to me is my friend Ben Hurley, beloved New Zealand comedian. Yes,
his white knuckles are gripping the seat in front.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Ah. Was he a nervous flyer? No?

Speaker 1 (01:40):
The whole plane was how bad?

Speaker 2 (01:43):
What's that?

Speaker 1 (01:44):
The worst flight I've ever been on?

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Worst I've ever been on turbulence wise. There was a crosswind, yes,
coming down, and I awoke, was like, how have you
been asleep? I woke during the second of four attempts
to land?

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Wow? Has he even slept through the first one?

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah? It was there, but sort of like rumbling along.
Hooley takes his hands off of the front seat and
they're dripping with sweat.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
So yeah, he removes his hands that the whole back
of it is dripping and sweat.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah. Geez.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
And that's when my ears kind of tune and I
was like, oh my god. He was like, this is
so horrible. And then he's starting to think we're gonna
have to cancel the gigs, were gonna have to like
refund everyone's tackers, blah blah blah blah. And then that's
when they do one of those huge lurches and it's
like kind of to the side and down playing. The
flight attendants are strapped in.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, are you looking at the flight attendants, because that's
how you can tell if it's a hairy situation or not,
because they've been in this million times. Yeah. Yeah, they
were kind of looking all right, they are shiten themselves.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
They are shitting them themselves. And that's when the screams starts.
Screams I don't mean, I don't mean my ooh you
know I was doing that like oh, like oh in
the plane moves. Yeah, it was like, ah, people were
like screaming. I think women were screaming as I get

(03:12):
it together.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Also embarrassing when you do land and everything's fine and
you realize that that's just how they land the plane
and crosswinds.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
You know, there was one moment where it lurched so
quickly there our feet all win a bit Airborne who
like that.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
I just feel that why was the turbulace because Carl
and see coming back from Australia was terrible as well.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
We were experiencing stunning with it. Yeah, I know, so
down south when I landed, a whole bunch of flights
have been canceled. And then when I was hitting back
two days later, my flight got canceled, four or five
other flights got cancer. I said, these like cross ones
and they couldn't get up and down. And like any
flight that was taking off. We were looking at, like
the big jets and stuff going to Australia. We were

(03:50):
watching them and they were like dipping like this. We're like,
oh my god. I eventually got home. But and then
when we landed, it was a.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Classic everybody class for the pilot.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
And then as we all disembark the plane, the pilot
came out and was like by the door, being like, hey,
sorry about.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
That, and he just wanted to He just wanted some
applause because he landed the plane.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
I did. I chucked in my bloody well done. It
was definitely the way I was sweating, and okay, it
also found a little bit like a theme park though
I know some people don't like it, but I was like,
we'll be all right.
