From the ZDEM Podcast Network, it's Fletchforn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Now, I was privy, everybody's messaging saying, I've heard enough stories about Europe from you too. Dude, fair enough. I hate me too. Yeah, they say, it's so obnoxious. Nah, one person said it.

And I was like, you're jealous, aren't you? And they said, yes. Get them shut the fuck up. up. We've got to fill some fucking breaks here, people. Yeah, we've got to fill some breaks. Jesus. The last half of 2026, we're just filling breaks here.

Workload increased 25% last year. We're just filling breaks here. I know. There was like, got any thing from personal? Got any personal? Yeah, I was just in fucking Rome. That was it? I was in fucking France, mate.

So I was lucky enough. Thanks to our friends at Real NZ and a PO. Shout out to Jen, who personally always looks after us and makes sure we have a good time. Katrina, Real Enz Ed, yeah. Yeah, Real NZ, yeah. Real NZ, if you're going to go skiing with the family, hit the snow, go up to parties. Biff me down to Milford once. Yeah, I've done the Milford and I've done the Dusty.

And I've done a Ruckieie. You're a Stuart Island trip with really... I'm a spoiled little bitch, is what I am. She probably won't throw, like, any kind of average Joe a free trip. She got Carwin a free trip. Yeah, Carwin. Carwin on the... The Mouth. Did you go Milt?

Yeah, I got the business class. Milford Sound boat trip. And then we flew back. Melfil. She haly got the back. No, no, no, plane. More wind playing. Oh, that's beautiful.

That's lovely. That is. Good people. And one of their properties they have is Walter Peak and the Earnslaw. Oh, is it in there, haven't we? A 112 year old steam ship that every time I go on it, I'm like, don't get too tizzy at the steam engine and then just go full. Full tis, try to work at how it works.

No idea how it works, but watch it, smell it and enjoy it. I think they put the coal in that furnace, and then the pipes and steam power the paddle. But how does steam power? I just don't understand electricity or power. All the other things then. Stuff. Magic.

Seats. Yeah. Their seats on the boat. It just works. So anyway, when it crossed the Walter Peak, had a lovely lunch. How was the Pud? The Pud was fantastic. Had the cheese pretty hard this time.

Not the meat so much. No, no, meat's definitely always number one, but I'd say cheese is above PUDs this time. Just a little hard on the cheese. Didn't leave enough room for the Pud. Shit. Still had a sample of every Pud. Girls like the Pud? The girls love the Pud.

The girls love the Pud. Everyone loves the Pud. Now, also, my girlfriend, Amy came with us on the trip. And on the way back, what? Yeah. So she came with us on the trip Now on the way back across It was cold and wet

And so the Ernstler's cranking its heat Fog, right? Fog on the windows Fog on the specs I've actually got my specs Like I'm cleaning them putting the back on And then I just hear Amy just go Oh my God The sort of oh my God They would have surely screamed on the Titanic

Because the iceberg plowed into the side And she's pointing out the window And I'm like what is it saying? She's like I don't know It's a creature or something is just breached out of the water and I was like out of the water and I was like what and I wipe the window I'm like

dull that's dull that's the shark boat oh fuck she'd never seen the shark boat she hadn't seen the shark boat and she said oh my god it was just oh too much it was foggy I forgot where on a lake I thought it was a whale yeah okay it's kind of a lake hey but it does connect to the bloody well through a river it eventually goes to the sea

yeah so she thought she saw a real creature and her oh my god wasn't just like table loud It was... Oh, no. Everybody had a little bit of a freak out. She pointed in it. Is that your first ick with her? I was a bit like, oh, and then, oh, I forgot we were on a lake.

Yeah. No, it wasn't an act. It was, we all laughed a lot. And she said she felt a bit silly. But shame. There's no way in hell I'm going on that fucking shark boat. I want to do it. It goes under and up and...

Chops? No. It looks a bit... Cramed? For me, it looks a bit crammed. I would like to go underwater, but I don't need to jerk. Up, out of the water real quick and go back down real quick. It looks a little bit.

Does it look like it's controlled by an old Nintendo controller? Probably. Remember that was that bloody submarine that crushed? That's an Xbox controller or something? It's obviously safe. It's been around for ever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's like a one person, right?

One pilot, one driver and one, and you go up and in and out and it's fun. No, it's a no from me. I'd wonder if they could just say, just take me on the scenic one. It's like we ain't going to fight a plane, right? Yeah, they sit behind you, they drive up. Just take it slow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's go under.

You can punch it a bit when we're under, but let's get back off the gas before we come back up. Can I ask a question? Because you're snowy and you can snowboard and stuff. I can't. When I'm on the snow, I've done a couple of ski lessons and, you know, it's quite hard. And I know that Amy isn't super snowy. She never seen the snow before. So how did she go?

She climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and got to the top and there was no snow. Oh, yeah. And they said, it's weird. Usually there's like ice and snow and everything up here. Yeah. Oh, okay. So you're first time seeing and touching the snow. She'd never gone for a roadie to central Urupehu?

No, her parents weren't snow people. Neither am I get it. Like, we were beachy and then we just sort of kept indoors. Yeah, but we went for a look and dad would stop on the way and be like, like, quick grab a couple of those real estate signs and you'd slide down. You'd have a lookie. The free parts. How'd she go?

Did you get her a lesson? She went really, really well. She went really well. It's a hard sport. It's really embarrassing to learn as well because you look like such a loser for so long. Pizza, pizza, French fries. Yeah. And there's like six-year-olds doing like flips and stuff.

Was there a hot scan instructor? You've got to watch leaving them with a hot scanstructor from like Switzerland or something. You'll get dropped in a half a pond. Because you know, you have a two-hour scan instructor or someone. There's a lot of cheerlift chat. Yeah. She came back. She had the whole backstory.

Oh, yep. I thought it was going to be a, what was her name? Amy is her name. That's right. That's her name. The scanstructors name sounded like an Australian nickname. Oh, yeah. Like Gazzo or Basso.

Bashy. Bashy. Bashy. Bashi. Oh, you're with Bashi today. And the person who told us was Australian, oh, yeah, meet Bashi here at 11. And I'm like, what are we going to get with Bashi?

This guy's going to come in, Nali, let's go shred. But no, it was a 40-year-old woman originally from Croatia. Oh, wow. Bashi. Who said she never wanted to grow up and just chase the snide. Oh, fun. And she's just living a life that she's always dreamed. Yeah, right.

Bashi. She did a great job, great instructor. Get on up there and learn from Bashi herself. Request Bashi. Yeah. You might not get it. I don't think I'm going to get to see any snow this year at all, so I feel a bit sad. At time of recording, you are going to Christchurch, and it is cold, so never say never.

Never say never. Never say never. Never. I said it anyway. Ha-ha. You can't tell me what to do.
