From the ZDEM Podcast Network, it's Fletchfallen and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Guys, it's great. The new year has begun well and truly, right? We're deep into it. We're nearly into February. Oh! Yeah.

You've got to calm that shit right down, buddy. This is a year I don't want to rush through. You're wishing away the year. Yeah, I know. Last year I was like, Lance got Liz done and dust and wrapped up. I don't want to enjoy this one. But I just want to take us back to January 1st. A day that typically in my calendar doesn't exist because I sleep it away.

But this is a little, it's more me advocating again for the benefits of having your parents live with you or living with your parents. It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. I think it's very rare that you can. Like a lot of people would just be driven so crazy. Okay. Picture this. You have hosted a legendary New Year's party, the stuff of legend. People are in their Uber's 6 a.m. January 1st.

right? This is a repetitive thing at my house on New Year's Day that people with a sun's up and that means it's time to go. Must be a lot of espresso martinis. The amount of espresso is coming out of that machine. I'll tell you what. So we go to bed. Oh.

Oh, wait. Was that a hard one? We. We? Oh. Well, the people of the members of my household, including my best friend who was in one room. Yeah.

My brother and his fiancé in another room and me. in, I don't know what the name is, in my room. And we wake up at 2pm the next day. Jesus. Well, that same day, I'm saying. 2pm hustles about, and I hear racket.

And I'm like, what is happening? Like, there's noise. Oh, my God. And I get up and I open the curtains and just sort of face the day and think, oh gosh. And I was like, right, like, today I cannot start the new year with a house like this. I come outside

Patsy has I sent my parents away by the way For the years I was like get out of here Well they didn't need to see that kind of debauchery They didn't they didn't They don't need to witness what's going on here Patsy's let herself back into the house

And it is cleaned top to bottom I'm talking Recycling's all sorted Rubbish is sorted And you sleep through and all Dishes are sorted Houses reset Um

Like it was it was like floors were done the deck had been resorted my 2026 balloons had been taken down it was a full reset and I didn't have to do it. Like you hadn't even had a party? Wow, that's good stuff then food arrives in a nice crispy cold cider

like there's no there's no there's no that day would have been such a punish to me had it not have been for the fact that my parents live with me and they didn't want to deal with it and they didn't even bother waking me out how good is that? That's a quiet clean too

As a, you know, often earliest to bed, earliest to rise and a house cleaner. Yeah. I do that shit noisy. Yeah, no, no, no. She wasn't doing that passive-aggressive thing either when you're slamming the dish. She'd be like, well, I guess I'll clean this up. She did it at the kindness of her own heart.

Oh, my God. And I'll tell you, some of the stuff she would have saying, you know, cleaning up sort of miscellaneous this, that and the other. She didn't even say a word. Right, okay. No. It was honestly, like, top-tier service from Patsy's Well, cleaning services.

Okay, so everybody needs to live with their parents. Well, if your mum's my mum, you should, because my New Year's Day, that was it, slept until two, woke up, and just existed. And then I got to start the new year with a lovely clean house. I know.

You can hire her if you want for your next. How the fuck do you sleep till two in the afternoon? You go to bed at six. But when it's hot and it's light and it's day. I can tell you how I slept that long, But we'll do that off here. Oh, my God. Okay, she's hit you on the Zoppies, eh?

You hit some Zoppies. Oh, nothing sort of fixes a long night, like a sloppy old Zopi at the end.
