The ZM Podcast Network. Fletchborn and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with MyMackers Rewards. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Sorry. Good sneeze. That was very professional. That was such a classic sneeze.

I love a sneeze. Yeah. You know when you're about to and you just look at the sun And you're just like Come on Sneeze People do serious injury Sneezing You be careful

I'm always worried when I drive If you get a couple of sneezes going If you've got like a rattler in your nose You'll orgasm You'll crash You're like poof poof poof No I don't Don't orgasm when I sneeze

It's close No they say it's eight Eight Eight in a row in the earth It does feel good. It does. Pow! Anyway.

I'll tell you what didn't feel good. Yesterday, I was raged at. Who raged at? I want to say. I'm surprised it's taken this long. I want to say meth level rage. Whoa. From a random stranger.

Oh, my God. Weird. What did you do? I'm not saying they were on meth. I'm just saying it was that kind of... It was meth level. It was just... Rachel, I've never really...

What did you do? Because you can be such a pain in the balls. Sorry? What one of your many endearing qualities led to this rage? I'm the victim here, but already you're blaming me. Did you push them over?

Were you like, get out of my fucking way, I'm walking here. Because he walks at the swiftest of paces. Oh my God, he walks slow and takes up blaming me. Did you push them over? Were you like, get out of my fucking way, I'm walking here? Because he walks at the swiftest of paces. Oh my God, he walks slow and takes up the whole... Did you shush their baby? Did you shush their child? No, I haven't shushed a baby for ages.

Did you walk past a kid and go like... No. So I was swimming... Did you call someone's cat like a poverty cat? A poverty cat, like a rescue cat? Did you see someone's cat and say, oh, how embarrassing. Oh, yeah. So I went swimming yesterday

And normally it's not too busy at the pool Maybe when I go there's maybe three or four people Because you're in the middle of the day You get your own lane Maybe you share a lane But yesterday when I went to the pool Very busy There was at least two to three people in each lane

Maybe everyone's getting ready for the Weetbix kids triathlon Totally The most important thing is trying. Leaving their office job early and getting in some lanes. I wouldn't train for that either. Everyone gets a medal. I know. Do you know what I mean?

They do. Why train? They do. But so I normally go in the fast lane. I'm not saying I'm like, who's the swimmer? Michael Phelps. Michael Phelps. Ian Fleming.

Ian Thorpe. The Thor-Peter. I'm not saying I'm the Thor-Peter. I'm saying you're Daniel Loader. I'm not Daniel Loader from the 90s. How many kids do you reckon were called Daniel after Daniel Loader? A few. So many.

He's lovely. We met him. You are approximately 26 to down to about 20, and your name's Daniel, and you're 100% named after New Zealand gold medalist Daniel Loader. 100%. He's a lovely man, too. Met him many, many years ago. It's like if your name's Barbara, and you were% named after New Zealand gold medalist Daniel Lowe. 100%. He's a lovely man. It's like if your name's Barbara and you were born after the Olympics, you were named after Kendall. And that's embarrassing for you because she had that flip out at Mandy McLean on Celebrity Trues.

I know. She really showed herself up. She really did. Do you reckon there'd be a lot of Usains or Bolts? Yes. Right? Fast people. Lots of Richies after Richie McCaw.

You always assess the lane When you're about to jump in Because you're like Where do I Where do I fit in here I normally go on the fast lane But if there were faster swimmers I wouldn't

I'd just You'd pop into medium I'd just pop in And then people kind of adjust Like you could be swimming And if some really fast people Jumped in the lane You'd just get out of their way

Either let them pass Or you'd go in the other lane Or you're getting a bit Tucked out Yeah Switched down But I would describe Someone in the lane, you'd just get out of their way, either let them pass or you'd go in the other lane. Or you're getting a bit tuckered out. Yeah. Switch down. But I would describe someone in this lane as Vaughn and his Jimny on the motorway in the fast lane going 80. Dude.

Dude. I tried a video the other day, but it was too dangerous because I was driving. We were coming onto the on-ramp we go onto, and I was behind like four cars. They were all nosed and i was right up bloody jiminy smith's i was going the speed limit that has a speed limit no you were kissing below 80 mate that's an 80k it's an 80k zone but it's one of those 80s it's not really an 80 it's not

really an 80 fuck you if you're up my ass. No way. Like, there was a train. It's not, it wasn't, I'm always up there and I'll just overtake him on the left to make a point. Yeah. There was like four of us. Oh my God, this bastard.

So anyway, this guy Vaughn is going 80 in his boardies in the fast lane. And I'm like, I'm like, whatever, that's fine. I'm not judging his speed. You've just popped into the wrong lane.

I'm just like, but I'm like, well, he'll get out of the way. I'm going to jump speed. You've just popped into the wrong lane. I'm just like, yeah, probably. But I'm like, well, he'll get out of the way. I'm going to jump in and I'm going to start. So I swim up and he's coming back. And then it gets to maybe three quarters of the way down the pool. I'm like, I'm just going to quickly overtake him. You're lapping him.

I'm going to lap him. I'm going to do a turn. And that's going to kind of signal, like it does to any swimmer, that, hey, either wait and let people go or whatever. Or get in the medium speed. Get in the medium. Yeah, exactly. It's just kind of the etiquette. Everyone that swims knows it does lines.

Right, yeah. And I get to the end just as he's about to turn, and then he jumps up out of the water, and I'll move away from the mic, and says, fuck, this always happens to me. Oh, God. And I'm just like, well, get out of the fast lane then, you fucking. And it reverberates around the tiny, I've got like stars from yelling. I can see stars from yelling that.

And I have never heard that much rage. Why was he so angry? He was so worked up. And I was just like, and I kind of get up and just look at him. And he's just like, and I'm just like, oh, well, fucking. Then I just push off up and just look at him And he's just like And I'm just like oh well fuck it Did you look at him like what like oh my god Or like calm the fuck

I was just shocked and also like calm the fuck down Strangers don't yell at other strangers It's weird I don't know if it was really me or he was disappointed He wasn't swimming fast enough Why does this keep happening Why does this keep happening to me I don't know because you're swimming in the fast lane and you're not as really

and then you can kind of see people around the pool looking like what what did you do to that man i was like and so what happened well i just pushed off and kept swimming you're good for you and um and then i i think he stayed there and then when i came back and turned i could just hear in my ear before I went back under sorry about that mate Oh he'd realised he'd flipped off But he stayed in the lane No no no

And so I was like well we will meet again and sure enough as I came up to lap him he stayed at I think I ended up lapping him maybe there were three or four times where he just waited at the end and I was like okay well he's obviously calmed down a bit So I think I ended up lapping him maybe there were three or four times where he just waited. He just waited at the end.

And I was like, okay, well, he's obviously calmed down a bit. And I was like, oh, fuck. And so I was only doing a K. So he got up. I sat in the spa pool. And then he finished. And I was like, oh, he's going to leave. I'm like, I'll just wait for him to leave because I don't want to run in.

Oh, God, no. And then he came up to me and he said, were you the guy in the lane? And I was like, yeah. And he's like, sorry about that mate and i was like what the okay why is he now confronting yeah just the once was enough and i had to bite my tongue and you know like um you know it's okay if people pass you man like to a growing adult um and then i was just like have a good day man he's like yeah okay you too and I was just like the fuck is with me Jesus Christ weird interaction I'm not good with those

interactions I don't like people I don't like it I don't want an interaction with people yeah you've behaved like a loser I don't need to

I'm happy just having my spa now I know don't come up to me and extend this awkward interaction absolutely not bizarre

it was so weird I was just like I don't know what to do here yeah ooh yeah weird awkward interaction. Absolutely not. It was so weird. I was just like, I don't know what to do here. Yeah. Ooh. Yeah.

Weird. Weird, eh? Is he a regular? Have you ever seen him before? I don't think I've really seen him before, no. Do you think, because sometimes when I pass people who are in the right lane,

in the fast lane driving, and I have to pass on the left because I will not be held up. Yeah. Sometimes I just wonder if it's like an ignorance thing, like they don't know, they're not aware of. Yeah, maybe. That that's the way that this works is slowest on the left,

fastest on the right. Maybe he just didn't know the lanes were speed. But don't they have signs? They've got signs. Yeah, they've got signs. They say fast, medium, slow. I remember a guy raged because I was biking with my friend on a cycle lane and I overtook this guy on like a mountain bike who was like dawdling and guy raged because I was biking with my friend on a cycle lane and I overtook this guy

on like a mountain bike who was like dawdling and he raged as well my friend was like did you hear that guy rage at you for passing him what did he say

just trail behind what the fuck is wrong with people it's not a race it's like people will be faster and people will be slower than you

it's okay it's okay except it's not you're a fucking slow loser get the fuck out of the way you're a slow loser get the fuck out of the way. You're a slow loser. Get the fuck out of my way.

I kind of like that this guy like apologised. He obviously realised he flipped out. He's obviously got an explosive temper or something. Or that he could just be having the worst day of his life, you know, like I don't know what's going on there. I wouldn't go swimming on the worst day of my life. I don't think I'd find the time

for a swim. You might be freestyling and just never turn your head. Do you know? If you're like, oh, no, well, the news is in. Mum's dead. I'll go do a K. My house is burnt down. I'll go do a quick K. You know what I might do?

I might go do a couple of Ks in the pool. It's actually quite, like, I find it quite. Yeah, depression, like, misery goes well with a walk, not a swim. Yeah. Swim is a joyful activity. No, swimming, like lanes, you get in a bit of a zone and it's actually quite like almost like therapeutic. Tranquil.

Therapeutic's the word I'm looking for. It's active, right? It is. It's active relaxing. It's active relaxing. Turn the brain off. It is good. It's not active relaxing the tempo you're going.

Yeah. Do you know what? I swim, like, hey, so much faster than I normally do. Yeah, you were showing that he's making a point. I'm going to lap this motherfucker. He's making a point. Oh, my God. You're a nightmare.

Good God.
