The ZM Podcast Network. Fleshborn and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Okay, a question for you guys. Have you, maybe it's the same in Wellington or Christchurch or any other airport in New Zealand, you know when you arrive at the airport in Auckland and there's like a really small arrivals gate and there's like two lanes

and there's those little like automatic doors. Have you ever watched people exit those doors before? Like when you're waiting to pick someone up? Not once. I wait in the car. I don't get out of the car at the airport. That means you're waiting to pick someone up not once i wait in the car i don't get out of the car at the airport that means you're paying for parking same i never same i never ever ever ever ever like park and like pick someone up but i did the other day because my best friend

arrived in auckland and she always picks me up like in person and doesn't just like drive through a little thing not a grown woman can she not make her way out to the- She's a grown 35-year-old woman, and yet she parks, arrives early, and will like meet me at the gate. Wow. Wow. I know. It probably pays like $30 for the privilege. So I felt obliged to do the same for her.

Okay. So I did this. I parked, and I went in there. And then they're supposed to like automatically open. I had such a joy of watching, I'd say about 100 people have like a little panic. Oh, these are the security gates when you're entering the main terminal from the airside. Right. And they're supposed to like automatically open.

It's one of the most like entertaining things I could ever recommend anyone does. Because they like open for one person. But if you're like not a perfect sort of tempo behind the next person, they'll like slam in your face. You'd do like a little semi. It was so much like need a little reset before the next person.

But if your tempo behind the person in front of you wasn't quite right, they would do a little like soft slam in front of you. They're kind of like Perspex doors that slide kind of down and shut. Yeah, and they're supposed to open like, I don't know, a foot or two before you get there. Oh, my God.

I recommend if you ever want any entertainment, go there and watch people just have them slightly closed before they open. It was one of the most entertaining things I've ever seen in my life. Maybe we need like a webcam. Yeah. Like a terminal webcam. That's what I thought. I was like, I should be filming this.

Because the amount of people that were like, having these little panics as these doors were slamming their face. Yeah. It was so entertaining. Have you ever gone to walk in somewhere and you've been waiting for the automatic door to open and then you realise it's just a pane of glass? And it's not even a door. It's not even a door, really.

You can't even push it. I get that at airports all the time. Because, you know, they've got all the different terminals and things and you're like, this is a door. You're like, no, no, this is just a wall of glass, isn't it? That Auckland security door, are the tukutuka bars before or after the door? No tukutuka bars. No, there's trolley. No, there's tukutuka bars.

No, that's Christchurch. There's no tukutuka bars in Auckland. When you come through that automatic door, I'm sure there's tukutuka bars. There's not tukutuka bars. No, Christchurch. There's no tukutuka bars in Auckland. When you come through that automatic door, I'm sure there's tukutuka bars. There's not tukutuka bars. No, Christchurch there is. Well, we're going through that airport this week. We will know for sure.

No, there's a skinny exit, and then there's a wider exit for accessibility. Yeah, there's no tukutukas. There's no tukutukas, darling. There's no tukutukas. To stop the trollies coming in the other way. Or just drop people. I know but I thought it was a tukatuka so people didn't nip back through. No, no, no. It's not

tukatuka. I reckon that's why those do a shut so quick and stay shut. It's so funny. So people can't nip through there. Yeah. I honestly, if you've ever short on time or short on ways to entertain yourself, go to Auckland Airport and I'm sure it's the same with other airports. Sit out there and watch people just go.

It's actually quite traumatic that you should say that. Why? Because when we were young, sometimes we would go to the airport, drive all the way from Morrinsville to the airport just to watch stuff. That's right. Yeah, because. Because we were going to go to Rambo's Inn, but it was drizzly. That's right. I'm not paying to go to Rambo's Inn on a drizzly day.

Yeah. Even though it would have been better because it was just a light drizzle and it meant the crowds wouldn't. Drizzle doesn't stop the roller coaster. Did she not check the weather forecast? Yeah. You know what? There's a part of me, and I'll have to ask her,

because as an adult now, there's a part of me, we were never going to Rambo's Inn. And she chose a drizzly day on purpose. We were never going to Rambo's Inn. And that would have kept you in good behavior for months, wouldn't it? Rambo's Inn, Rambo's Inn, Rambo's Inn, Rambo's Inn, today's the day. And then she going to Rainbow's End. And that would have kept you in good behavior for months, wouldn't it? Rainbow's End, Rainbow's End, Rainbow's End, Rainbow's End. Today's the day. And then she takes you to the airport.

At the end of the carving season, we used to have to get wheelbarrows and spades and get rid of all the shavings that the calves had been living on. And we were going to get one year. We got to go to Wainara Hot Springs as a reward. Oh, okay. Now, we got to go because Mum loves hot pools. But the other one was Rambo's End but it never happened

you were never going she was bullshitting you were never going you're so right god damn it you need to ask her I mean it's great parenting she saved herself a fortune

and she got to do what she wanted to do why are you trying to crush your dreams as a man just let it be just let it be I want to ask her

no I need to know don't tell him because it's mean let's follow that up in another podcast later in the week oh that's so sad
