From the Zedium podcast network, it's Fletchforn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. You guys know this of me. I have a superpower and it's falling asleep on planes. I know. I'm so jealous. Like, I just, and like mostly short haul that I'll just be able to get on a one hour flight. As soon as the rumble of taking off starts, I'm out.

And the joy for us, Vaughn, is that we get to take photos of Haley with her mouth open. Yeah. And like the worst side profile. like that. Well, I flew down to Queenstown over the weekend and... Filming the secret TV show that I'm... No, I was doing gigs. Oh, you're doing gigs. That was the week before that I was in Queensland filming the secret TV show that you're

no one's supposed to know about, but you've told everyone. I kept telling everyone in that people are really excited about it. You keep being like, how's... No, no, no, no. I'm like, okay, shush, shush. So I fly down to Queensland and I'm awoken by, I guess my body being sort of thrown about. Hot. Can I say a hell of a way

to be woken up by a lover? Yes, and we should do it more consensually. But, no, I wasn't being woken up by a lover. Just want to clarify when you say, we should do it more consensually. You mean everybody, not just you and I. Oh, God, no.

Yuck! Clarify that for Reddit. I just put a clarification on that. Yes. Me and Fletch, you and Fletch. Anyone. Anyway, I wasn't working up by a lover. I was woken up by horrendous

Turbulance. Yeah. Next to me is my friend Ben Hurley, beloved New Zealand comedian. Yes. His white knuckles are gripping the seat in front. Oh, is he a nervous flyer? No, the whole plane was. Oh, God.

How bad was this? The worst flight I've ever been on. Wow. The worst I've ever been on, turbulence-wise. There was a crosswind or something coming down, and I awoke. Hurley was like, how have you been asleep? I woke during the second of four attempts to land Wow

Have you even slept through the first one Yeah it was that about Sort of like rumbling along Hurley takes his hands off of the front seat And they're dripping with sweat So yeah He removes his hands That the whole like back of it

Is dripping in sweat And that's when my ears kind of a tune And I was like oh my God He was like this is so horrible And then he's starting to think We're going to have to cancel the gigs. We don't have to like refund everyone's tickets, 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

the plane. The flight attendants are strapped in. 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 a million times. Yeah, yeah. They were kind of looking all right. They are shightened them themselves. They are shiten them by themselves. And that's when the script. screams start. Screams, you say. I don't mean like, oh, you know, I was doing that, like,

oh, oh, you know, I was doing that, like, oh, oh, when you go, oh, my God, when the plane moves, it was like, ah, ha! People were like, scream it. I'll say, I'd say, I'd say, come, I'd say it together. Also, embarrassing when you do land and everything's fine, and you realize that that's just how they land the plane and crosswinds. You know, there was one moment where it lurched so quickly that our feet all went a bit airborne. Oh, wow, like that.

You could just feel the, Why was the turbulence so back? Because Carwin said coming back from Australia was terrible as well, but we were experiencing stunning weather. Yeah, I know. So down south, when I landed, a whole bunch of flights had been cancelled. And then when I was heading back two days later, my flight got cancelled,

four or five other flights got cancelled. They just had these like crosswinds 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 watching them and they were like dipping like this. We were like, oh my God. I eventually got home. but, and then when we landed, it was a classic.

Oh, everybody clasped. For the pilot, and then as we all disembarked the plane, the pilot came out and was like there by the door being like, hey, sorry about that, and... He just wanted some applause because he landed the plane. Oh, I did, I chucked him, a bloody, well done. It was definitely the way... I was sweating and very well-wracking.

It also found a little bit like a theme park, though. Okay, fine. I know some people don't like it, but I was like, we'll be right.
