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.
As I open my mouth to share this, I don't know how much of it I'm going to reveal.
Okay.
Not that I...
Okay, listen, alright.
I did a gig in Palmy over the weekend.
Yeah.
And I think the gig went well.
It was really good.
It just did 30 minutes to a crowd in Ashurst.
It was part of actually a school fundraiser.
Oh, okay.
And mixed crowd, rural folk.
Yeah.
Maybe not my general go-to audience.
Office girlies are normally your office
bitches we call them yeah yeah basic office bitches are my new crowd and they lap up every
word i say and so i saw this crowd and i was like i wonder how they'll go and i i you know it's
almost too late at that point to sort of change your material or you know try to yeah right and
a crowd i guess like it's a fundraiser, so everyone and anyone is there.
Everyone, a real mixed bag.
There were some old marching girls from Leisure Marching there.
There were some young office bitches.
There were some of my crowd there.
Yeah.
Some older gentlemen, some rural folk.
Interesting mixed bag.
Right.
And I think the gig went fine considering.
I mean, you guys know my material.
It was sort of a mix of my last two shows,
and I was like, okay, that was fine.
It went fine, but I definitely lost him on one story.
And I even saw a gentleman, probably my parents' age, in his 60s,
towards the front, who diverted his eyes at one point
and just sort of went like, ew.
He went, ew.
Now, this is probably an older man, rural setting.
He probably has birthed cows.
He's seen all of nature's grimmest stuff what on
earth could you say to disgust an old boy who famously when they go out love to flirt with
hot young things such as yourself well this is the wow thank you so much you've got it i really
needed that today to confirm that i look great um well here's the thing is I went out for a pint of Guinness with Ben, my friend, who was running the gig beforehand.
And we were chatting just as mates and telling stories of days gone by.
And I told him a story.
And he was like, fuck, that is so funny.
Have you ever done stand-up about it?
I was like, no, I haven't.
And he was like, oh, my God, you should.
It's such a funny story.
So I just sort of chucked it in willy-nilly unpracticed unstructured on that night
you decided to test new material on a rural crowd yeah yeah of old mates it wasn't material like a
crafted joke it was just a yarn like a funny story that i thought was funny right and it just wasn't
funny i fucking lost them oh just tell it doesn't matter yes please okay i want to know what this
was okay my mom will be, why are you sharing this?
It's because I'm not.
It's just like it happens to people.
Right.
But are you going to do it like it's stand-up like you did?
No.
No.
I'm just going to tell you the story because the stand-up didn't work.
And this is why I'm telling the story here because I'll never make it into stand-up again.
Okay.
Okay.
I don't know.
Fuck.
Whatever.
Okay.
When I was single and I had some fun, right?
And I one night had slept with this person and that was fun.
That was fine, whatever.
And as part of the story, a detail I think that is really important
for the story is when I slept with him on a couch,
Whose Line Is It Anyway was playing in the TV.
What was the line up on whose line is it anyway?
Ryan Stiles is there.
Who do you think it was?
Ryan Stiles is there.
Colin Mochrie is there.
Colin Mochrie was there.
Wayne Brady was there.
Wayne Brady was there.
And then some other guy.
I find it a little bit hard
to maintain an erection with.
Was it Drew Carey hosting
or the woman that took over?
Drew Carey.
Oh, we're talking years ago.
Classic line up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Greg Proops.
Greg Proops might have
been the fourth member.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway, so like whatever.
That's all fine
and then uh a couple of weeks later i um i don't even know if i've told you this story before a
couple of weeks later i was up in auckland i was doing some uh work and this is where i lived in
wellington yeah and i was doing some work and i was driving and if you know New Zealand particularly if you know Auckland
I was driving along K Road
which is full of either
homeless people
homosexuals
drag queens
or sex workers
and
I mean I wouldn't say that
that wouldn't say
only
I mean I lived near K Road
for like 10 years
per capita they were represented
very well in the area.
Sure, yes.
But it's eclectic.
It's being gentrified now.
I know.
Yeah, no.
Bring back the spicy old days of K Road.
Particularly the working ladies.
And I was driving along
I was driving along
the road
and I got a phone call and it was from this person that I had slept with on the couch,
while Whose Line Is Anyway is on, to inform me that he had an STI.
Oh, okay.
Well, that happens.
It happens.
It happens.
So when I took the phone call, I thought, this is before I had a 1992 Mitsubishi Mirage. There was
no Apple CarPlay so I couldn't
be on my phone and so I said oh hang
on a second I'm just going to pull over.
So I pulled over to the side of K
Road where I took the phone call
where this gentleman informed
me that I should go and get checked
because he has discovered that he
has an STI.
And I while I was on the phone receiving this information,
being like, oh, God, this is really inconvenient.
I'm not at home.
I've got to go to the clinic, da-da-da-da-da.
A lady opens up the side of my car and gets in, a working lady.
And I'm on the phone being told that i possibly yeah she doesn't just inquire she just gets in she gets into my passenger seat
while i'm on the phone being told that i may have chlamydia and
what's not to love about this story and she sort of gives me a bit of a face.
And I was like, to this guy, hang on a second.
And I said, can I help you?
And this sex worker was like, can I help you?
And I was like, well, no.
And she was like, I saw you see me and pull over.
And I said, oh, no, no, i've i've pulled over to take a phone
call and she was like oh so you do do you not want to do anything and i was like no i'm riddled with
i said to her and trust me you don't want to sleep with me and then she left the car
anyway that's the end of the story wait at which point
did this old man ooh the story when i mentioned i then when i mentioned that a sex worker got
into my car as i was being told i had chlamydia and he just i think the word chlamydia he was
just like i think he was doing that because you know when it hit too close to home same things
happened to him and he wanted to distance himself from the rumours.
Oh, so he's being outward of his disgust.
He was like, oh, imagine that happening.
Either that or he was coming along to this gig to see you,
hoping you'd be that same gentle lady that's on the bake-off.
Who hosts the bake-off.
Who hosts the bake-off.
Yeah, and here I was with a sex worker in my car being told
that the person that I had slept with on a couch, while here I was with a sex worker in my car being told that the person
that I had slept with on a couch
while whose line is it anyway
was playing in the back crying,
here's chlamydia
and then I should go get tested.
I think we talked about it.
I had the same thing.
I had a call.
I pulled over on Manchester Street
when I was in Christchurch.
Oh, which was the street.
Yeah, and then someone
banged on the window
and I was like,
oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm on the phone.
I'm on the phone.
But I love that this was
well over 10 years ago,
like 15 years ago. I love that she just got in. Yeah. I mean, I'm on the phone. I'm on the phone. But I love that this was well over 10 years ago, like 15 years ago.
I love that she just got in.
Yeah.
I mean, maybe that was the way.
Maybe that was the code.
I've had a knock on the window just off K Road.
It was because I didn't know where to park.
We were going to a place on K Road
and I didn't know where to park.
So I pulled over to again text someone to be like,
where do I park?
Yep.
And knock, knock, knock.
But that was different
because you actually got a handjob that time. Yeah, Jesus.
I'll tell you what, best 15 bucks I ever spent. Once or in the car.
Yeah. It's rude not to.
Leave empty handed. Now I had the cash
rattling around in the drinks holder
and annoyed me. I'm gonna jump some coins
for a handjob.
I've got a 20, I've got a 20 and that's
40. Open the glove box.
That peanut slab's all yours.
At the end.
I'm not prepaying a peanut slab.
No, you don't prepay the peanut slab.
That's a bonus.
Oh, that's an addition.
Yeah, totally.
And leave the glove box open, love.
We might need those wet wipes.
Holy shit.
