From the ZDM Podcast Network, it's Fletchfallen and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Now, before we kick things off. Before we get to Friend of the Year. Okay, he's excited for this. Before we get to, who is the Friend of the Year? I mean, honestly, I'll be lost without you. But shout out, we sometimes receive lovely packages from companies,

but this company, Morden Harry's Warnock Company. Hoping to penetrate our defences. Well, we got happily penetrated by Morton Harry's Walnut Company, who heard that the walnut is my choice of nut. Well, I have them every morning in my oats, and I have a mixture of nuts, yeah. And they have sent, I mean, we're like, very good for you. Oh, my God. The raspberry and walnut brittle has fucked us up.

Oh, my God. I think I've had half that packet. And then there was a cake in here today for the fire truck, and I'm just like, I'm not on a sugar high. Oh, my God, but thank you guys. Honestly, delicious products. Just another great thing to come out of Hawks Bay. I know.

It is a day of Hawks Bay. They do a popcorn. Walnut popcorn. They do a duka. They do a walnut butter. Yeah, it's good stuff. And I'm going to absolutely slam it all in my gob so happily. Check them out on Instagram.

It's always good to support the little companies, isn't I? I know. Thank you so much, guys. Honestly delicious. This is us eating it. Oh, I'm going to have a little bit more brittle. Oh! Yeah.

And Georgia keeps coming in from the next studio to help ourselves. Piggy, piggy, piggy. We just tease. Georgia, because she does like, I don't know, whatever F-45's called now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She does that, like, eight times a day. Most hard it, she's got abs. Like, fuck you.

So, you know, just eating chance to get a foot in. Yeah, and picky, like, oh my God, you had a centimetre square of brittle. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Beached us. Gotcha. Now, let's move now. Let's turn our attention to who is the friend of the year. And do you know what?

It's Carl Peter Fletcher. Yes. Yes. Oh, my God. I've had a bit of ticket anxiety recently. Chapel Rhone announcing Laneway And immediately my head I'm like, I want to see that

Those are going to sell like in a fucking second So quickly And then my Bougainess saw that system of a down Who's one of my favourite bands of all time Are going to be touring around Europe And they were in Paris The day before we land there

And then they announced the second show the day after it So I was like, I'm going to get back on the Borgans And then to continue on the Bogan thread You may have seen To my Bogan podcast listeners That Toll announced A one-off show in New Zealand

I haven't been here for ages And in two months time, one of those short announcements. Yeah. And I mean, you say our Bogan listeners, and I'm like, oh, surely that's like no one listening to the podcast likes Toll. But then you run into so many listeners at these Bogan concerts. And a disturbed, Papa Roach, I am made and I see you all the time. Yeah. And so I was like, oh my God, Tull looked at the date.

I'm away at this gig down south. You're trying to cancel. I tried to pull out of the gig. I got told off for being a bad comedian. Yeah. And it was already advertised. So it was like, no. And I'd had to lump it.

And I was like, okay, no. And then they announced very quickly yesterday, second show. And the tickets were available like, now. Like, right? It was like in an hour's time. It was in an hour's time, yeah. Everyone, all my Bogan pals, texting me, second show, second show, go, go, go.

And I could make this date. I'll fly back from that gig that I was trying to pull out of. That's a Sunday, right? Yeah. But I'm on set filming and I'm not allowed my phone. And I look at my phone and it's you, Fletch, saying, second show, tickets on sale, 12 p.m. And I was like, they were.

No, 4 p.m. 4 p.m. Sorry. And they were pulling me onto set. And it was like 3.50 or something when I clocked it. And I was like, what did I do? I didn't take my phone on set. Because you've got to jump in the queue.

You've got to try to get it. It's a scramble. I asked Fletch, my mate, my non-bogun mate, can you buy me to tickets to tool? And wait in the queue for me. Do the anxious scramble to get G8. tickets that sell out like that. Oh, my, I was so stressing.

I didn't even care about going to the show. But so I think it was like 10 to, no, I think it was like 4.30 or 420 that we talked about this. Yeah. No, 320. 320, sorry. Yeah. And then I had a physio at 4 when tickets went on sale. I know.

And so I was like, he won't be able to help. And I said, look, I'll try. I said, no promises. I'll try. I said, look, if you can't get GA, maybe I'll get some seated ones. And I was like, I'll take it. You'll take it. And so I'm like walking to.

Seated at all, how embarrassing. I'm like walking to the physio at like 10 to 4 and I'm like in this line. It's like you're in the line. And then just before I was getting the elevator up to the physio at like one minute to four. It was like, you're in the queue. And it was like, oh, well, that's. I'm sorry, Haley, you're not going. And then it went down.

It went down. And then I'm in the physio waiting room and then I go through to the physio room. He's on his phone. He's about to come in and I'm like a hundred people away. And the physio comes and I said, look, I'm so sorry. I'm in the line to get tall tickets for my bogan. friend. I don't really care. So if it's a problem, I can just pull my phone away. And my physio's great. Like, we get on really well. And he's like, oh my God, don't worry about it.

And so I was like my left hand in Q and he's on my right shoulder digging in to my, giving it a work thing. And then I got in and it said two GA. And I was like, go. And I did it. And I'm the friend of the year. Friend of the year secured me these tickets, even though you were busy yourself. And now Haley Sprow owes me even more money. Which honestly, felt impossible, didn't that? It really did. It really did. Like, how? Do you know, this is funny. I have Fletch somebody, he booked some flights for me, and I'll pay it back.

I will. Oh, I know you're good for it. I know, exactly, but we laugh about this. But we do all these little things. It'll be like, oh, can you do this for me or, like, apply for this thing and quickly? And, like, you're always so good at just, like, you're organising. I'll just get it done. And it's gone to this point, you know, I'm a brain shambles.

It's gone to the point where Fletcher's had to open a shared notes app to send me that is entitled Fletch Corp debt collection agency and he's actually made a spreadsheet of the breakdown of the full amount. Five or six entries there. I think the smallest one's $45 and then it goes up quite considerably. Yeah, there's like a 24 and then there's a thing and then there's like a wow! The flights are the big one at the end and so. Yeah, then we've got the

tool tickets. Yeah. So just, you know, I just, yeah, thought we'll just leave that there. It's funny that I thought that you wouldn't do something like this when I said Oh, can you just tally up, you know, add the tool tickets to those flights, and you're like, hon, check your notes app. I've already sent you a share of note. Yeah, I've already reminded you that you owe me a lot of money. Yeah, well, we've put in a payment column. Yeah, we've got a little pay.

I have made a small payment today. Payments have started today on payday. So I'm basically like afterpay. But you're after pay. I'm Fletcher after pay. I will pay this in four small installments. Yeah, yeah, I love it. Your debt will be paid, Fletch Corp, debt collection agency.

If it's not, dear listener, I have two premium. VA tool tickets available in November. The debt must be paid. Because you'll notice I haven't transferred them through to your email immediately. He hasn't! He hasn't! I was about to and I was like, no, I'll wait until full payment. That bitch can cough up.
