From the Zedium Podcast Network, it's Fletchhorn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. And one of us has a parking fine. Oh, not me. Well, I don't actually know because mine go straight to Master. Again, the ranger that I drive registered to Ford, they may be getting my parking infringements. Wait, so if you get a parking infringement, surely they'd forwarded on. No, they just absorb it.

I actually don't know. I don't tend to get speeding. In the last two years, I don't know if I've had a... speeding fine or a parking ticket or anything. Wow. Okay. I need to get in this ambassador life. Who would I be a motor vehicle ambassador for?

Mahendra. Say no more. Myndra. Say no. Guys, what about a sexy brand? Come on. No. Audi.

What about Audi? Tida. I could be an Audi ambassador. No, you couldn't. No, I don't think you could. You're not swel than a. You could do Volkswagen Golf. That would be cute, wouldn't it?

You'd match to me in the brand new Volkswagen. Well, it's not you two. It's not me. It's producer carwin. Nauty, naughty producer carwin. Look. Not like, look. To my defence, not my fault. So Shannon and I had a cheeky little meeting with Apple TV, not to break.

Oh, okay. Yeah, so watch up for us. Did you get us a Ted Lassau interview? No, we were actually pitching our own series. Oh, okay. That's crazy. We're, it follows the producers of Fletchworn and Haley and the daily rigors of life. Yeah, behind the scenes of dealing with three tyrannical talents.

You like think what's that morning show one that they have? Yes, yeah, the news one. But it's the producers. Right, okay, amazing. I watched that. Yeah. But we were going to this meeting at the Park Hyant. Oh.

Must be nice. That's what we ordered. What did you order? Did you see the All Blacks? Because they were there the other day. My friends said that they get a whole floor. They just book a whole floor. Oh, so nice.

Do you remember when we were there doing the Jason Memorial interview years? years ago and they said, you know, just order any drinks or anything. And I ordered a glass of champagne and then another news person was like, oh, hell yeah. And then the woman came over, she was like, no, we meant coffee, bitch. I was like, oh shit, so I had to pay for it. Well, they said, you know, get what you want. And so Carlin got a glass of Coke and I had a water. Oh, my God.

You get anything? It was 2 p.m. guys, we were falling asleep. I would have gone Long Island AST because you get more booze. You get more booze and it's the most expensive. Yeah. So, well, because of this, we parked down by, what is that area called? It doesn't matter. And there's like a little parking, Wilson, whatever, one of those companies.

And the first hour is free. And I know this because I've parked there before. And we only needed an hour. We weren't going to chat to them for that long. And so I was like, great. Walk up to the little machine, put my little license plate in. It's like, you're in your first hour free. Add more.

And I went, don't need to add more? Perfect. We leave. We go to this meeting. whatever we come back and we were like ha ha that's so good we don't have to pay for parking because that just doesn't happen in Auckland Tee-hee hey

T-hee come back I'm about to pull out Shannon goes there's a parking ticket on your windscrauding Oh my God, I've got a physical one because sometimes they're just Is that flat open car park down past the fish markets Yes I'll say it fuck them Really? Why? They've done me duty on this shit before too Oh yeah how do you get the hour free

You're probably not reading the rules You've probably got to have a ticket. A fish. You've probably got to buy a fish. Not a ticket, I don't think. And I don't think I had to buy a fish. That would be really discriminatory. Well, there's a fishmonger. Yeah, but it's not a catch to the fish market.

You didn't just go get like a prawn skewer. I didn't park in one of the fish market parks. They've got specific park. Right. I just use that as a location. Well, how do you get the free hour then? So anyway, I open the thing 80 damn dollars. Oh, that sucks.

Right? Crazy. I'm like, this doesn't make any sense. So I'm like, I'm out of here. We've been at work for too long. I'll sort this out later. Anyway, go home, email them. And I'm like, hey, like, this is what I did.

You can look at the cameras. Like, we'll literally, like, you'll see us walk over, be like, oh, free hour, perfect. Leave, come back within that hour. We didn't stay longer. We were way shorter than an hour. And anyways, they email back and say, well, yes, you might have done this, but you had to click the next button or something.

Oh, there's a next button. There's a next button. Apparently, there's another button. I don't think we saw it. No. I think that's what happened to me because I was definitely under an hour. It was like first hour free. and you're like, oh, okay, cool.

And I was 15 minutes and came back to a ticket. But you had to validate your free hour. And then you still have to validate and put in your license. It just feels like you didn't follow instructions, car one. But like, when I got there, it recognized that I was in within my free hour because it recognized my license plate. If it's read your plate, then it's, that's it, right? Yeah, I'm on your side. That's silly.

I emailed them and I was like, I'm so sorry. Like, I thought I'd done the right thing. It said I had an hour. I didn't need to add more, so I didn't. Da-da-da-da-da. They emailed back. They were sternish. but the fine is now down to $30 because they've said

we forgive you blah blah blah don't do this again you can agree to our terms and conditions when you drove in I was like sorry I didn't see them on a big billboard but now it's down to $30 for their administration fees Oh god what are that fucking dentist That's a dentist hourly rate Finest paper Yeah you're fine it's like a thick GSM

Does it cost that much to like email someone No, they're going to make money somehow. Well, that's a expensive hourly rate. I mean, it's a bit of a win. You've got it down. I reckon you could still get it free, though. I reckon you could still get it free. I've already paid it.

I was too scared because it was like pay within four days. But you can't write, Shandog. Shandog, you should have got the Long Island Ice T to make that worth it. We could have this whole experience. Did you just suck it like a little bit? I think I suck it up like a little bitch. Yeah. That's something you do.

Just keel over like, like, uh-uh. Yeah, I've showed them a soft belly. Yeah. And paid the AD. Play the 80. Well, yeah, click the next button.
