From the Zedium Podcast Network, it's Fletchhorn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. And, you know, it blows my mind with all the advance in 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. Oh, yeah. And normally, you put in your address where you're going to, and it'll be like, okay, your guys a K-away, you know, you'll watch him come on the little map and then you've got to

find them in the line of people. So many people. Some airports have got pretty organised and they'll be like Bay Nine for your guy and you're like, love that. So good, eh. I love, Auckland Airport's just done this like reluctantly after putting the Uber's like, you know, 8Ks away from the main, they love being teased about this, don't they? But Melbourne Airport was different and it 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. So you get in the car and you're like, one, two, three, four. And they put in one, two, three, four, five. It's a real test of your Spanish. When you're, the Uber driver's coming, you're like, okay, quachero, 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 Uber's 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. and you just give them the pin number 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 to then coming back to no we're just going to all line up and just wait

for the first one that turns up yeah I know I know I know was this like this the last time I was there maybe and I noticed I liked it because you you got it ubers because there's so many ubers they can just they don't have to wait around and you just go and there's another situation one of those cases that 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 the everything and then he started doing a podcast he's like this is great they're like we want to video

the podcast they put him in podcast and they're video and he's like now I'm just doing a TV show without an audience I know he's just doing a TV show without an audience it's just doing a weekly TV show it's wild it all just like we move away and then we just come around because It just works, it works, doesn't it? Yeah, it works, I know. Why not? I mean, it's just, you know, I guess they're just trying to move things along quicker. Yeah, I mean, I was all for it.

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 Madison Square Gardens, you'd line up in a massive line and the taxi just drive past. Yeah, yellow cabs. I've never been in a yellow cab. I've never been to New York.

Oh. I love the black cabs in London Yeah Because I'm room at I got on one of those And then halfway run I realised I've forgotten my wallet And I said I'm not going to be able to pay

And he said there is a way you can pay That's not the blake that's not an official black cab Did it say fake taxi on it? I thought that said fuck a tay Fuck a pay Because they still Black cab drivers have to memorize Every street in London right

Yes That's a really intense test It blows my mind They still do that Like just put a fucking Google Maps Google Maps isn't going to tell you The traffic

On the way you want to go. I know it's unreal, eh. It's just, they're old school, Mike. Yeah, mate. You're old school. It's getting off. Fucking nose tower. I grew up here. That's how he talked. Yeah. That's how he talked. You what I mean? You lost your fucking wallet, mate.

I put it into a nice, quiet country lane and put back there and see if we can saw this out. That's like that audition you went for for that movie, too, on that casting couch. Yeah, yeah, that weird little black, two-set-leather-leather couch. It couldn't go well, though, do they. They can't pay me today, but they will pass my photos on to agents. It could be paying me up to $5,000 a day. And then you got stuck in the dryer when you got home. walking into trouble.

I know. You just went to open the shower door and suddenly you were stuck in the box. Help me, help me. I don't know if my stepbrother was home. Thank God he was home.
