The ZM Podcast Network. 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. And guys, I thought it would have been us that broke Shannon, producer Shannon, but no. No. It was a machine. Yeah.

What broke you, Shannon? An elevator. Do you know I used to have such a bad phobia of them? I couldn't get in them. Really? Yeah, I used to. When I was young till about like my early adult years, I'd have like a freak out. Now I'm all good.

Oh. Yeah. Well, I'm normally good in them. I live in an apartment building now. Yep. Have to take them multiple times a day. Because what floor are you on? Eight.

Yeah, that's a little bit more than a daily. I'm going to take the stairs every day. Because I'm on four, but the entrance is on two, so it's like pretty much two flights. It says I'm always just taking the stairs. Yeah, and because this was after we came back from Hawke's Bay. This was a little bit ago. So I had lots of gear with me.

So we get to the elevator and two people come out and they're clearly moving apartments. They had multiple bags and they held the door open and got a bunch of stuff out. The elevator starts making a really suspicious noise. Like it was crying. Give us the noise.

Oh, okay. Could be a ghost. It could have been a ghost. Was that wind? No, no, no, no. It was inside. A mechanical? Yeah, it was definitely mechanical. Imagine if you were a ghost and because you were living in this property in Auckland once upon a time, something nefarious happens, you die.

So you've got unfinished business, you've got to stick around. Then they bust down your house and build an apartment building with tiny little apartments in it. What is this? Then you have to haunt that. You used to live in a lovely Victorian-style villa.

I see what you're saying. The workload there has increased for the ghost because he's gone from Maybe two bedrooms in an old Villa I was just thinking more space I was thinking he'd be like God the skirting boards are so thin

I barely go through a wall and I've got to go through the next one Trying to get through these Trying to get through these doors They're paper light I just want everybody to have, you know, in the back of their mind feel it for ghosts. It's hard to haunt

when you don't have a spooky chandelier you've got some down light LEDs, you know. It's very stark. Yeah, very less moody. And the scarier thing is the fact that it's

probably a leaky building not the fact that you're a ghost. Yeah, exactly. You're like, get out of the way ghost my ceiling's dripping. So this elevator

makes a squeaking noise, a squealing noise. So then me and this businessman look at it and just get in. Yep. Hot. We're stuck in a lift with a businessman. Was he a hot businessman? He was older, but yeah, hot would have been hot. Okay.

Money. Definitely money. What was he doing in Europe? But then I was like, why does he live here? Visiting his daughter that he's put up there for uni. Yeah, but so. Or his mistress. he's put up there for uni yeah but so why his uh mistress that's hard wow this is this book is hey siri make a note old businessman and young woman in apartment stuck in lift so the doors he gets in and we both hit our floors and the doors shut

and it makes the scary noise again real real loud. And then nothing happens. Like, we're not moving up. We're not doing it. The doors are shut. And then we both just kind of look at each other for a second, like, are we stuck? Are we going to kiss? Oh, sorry.

Sorry, carry on. Carry on. And then after maybe 10 seconds, not long, the door opens again. And we both look at each other and he goes, should we give it another hoon? I said, like, should we try? Send the elevator up again? And I said, yeah, should we try? Send the elevator up again. And I said, yeah, sure.

And then we proceed to get stuck. So it was the second one. For how long? It honestly was only a few minutes. But at this point, I've got all my luggage. We had been up since very early that morning. I had come home late and I just, like, felt my soul break. And my partner was in the apartment and I tried to message him,

no cell service because I'm in the elevator. I'm going to go on Instagram. We did Instagram, it didn't happen. Yeah. I was just freaking out and I didn't know what to do. And then me and the businessman were like, just kind of like, ooh, now what? And he presses the alarm button, you know, he can be like, help. And that wasn't working.

And the ghost noise was just getting louder and louder. my god we hadn't moved it's not like we had gone up some and then got stuck we were clearly still on the ground so we just kind of waited a few minutes and then after a bit it opened and he jokes he's like should we give it another hoon and i was like funny from him so then we have to both walk around the entire other side of the apartment because there's only one elevator per side, even though a thousand people live there. Oh, I would have taken the stairs at this point. I would have been like, God, no. No, I had so much heavy stuff, and it was just, it was breaking me, and he

could tell I was tearing up. Aww. So he pulled you into his big, heaving, muscular chest for a cuddle. Hayley, not everything. He said, my sugar baby's on the 26th floor, and I'm down here with a big stiffy. Yeah. Is that how people talk in these books?

Yeah, big stiffy. That's the language. Not everything is a horny book, Hayley. Yeah, but this is. Tell me this isn't. Yeah, so I messaged my partner. He's like, I'll come down and save you. I was like, well, now I'm out because all my spam had-

Too slow, dude. I've got a new hero and a big stiffy. No, so yeah. All's well that ends well. I did get in the elevator on the other side and upon reflection that probably was a dumb idea, but it was fine. I give it a little bit of a break

before I trust an elevator again when I get stuck. Just like a what? Four business days? Yeah. Four business man's willies. No, that's not the language. I'm just trying. It doesn't work like that. But it was my breaking point. It reduced me to, as'm just trying to, I don't know. It doesn't work like that. Yeah, but it was my breaking point.

It reduced me to, as soon as I got in the apartment door, just. I was like, I was stuck. And then, like, he started laughing because I think he thought it was, like, stepbrother, like, me being funny. And I was like, no, I got stuck. When I got stuck in a lift, I've been stuck in a lift twice. Once was with a whole group of people on New Year's. And one of them, we pulled down and then hovered for a bit. And then it slammed.

Oh, no, no. Hit the bottom. It was awful. No, thankfully on the ground. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was awful. Anyway, we're glad you're alive. Yeah.

Glad you're happy. Glad you're alive. Well, she's obviously not happy. She's in tears. She was crying. And she could be dead. She might be a ghost. I'm the elevator ghost. She's the elevator happy. She's in tears. She was crying. And she could be dead. She might be a ghost. I'm the elevator ghost.

She's the elevator ghost. Weird ghost voice. Who the fuck is that ghost? That was the elevator ghost. What were you in real life when you were alive? Michael Jackson.
