From the Zedium podcast network, it's Fletchforn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. I went for an outdoor run. Now, I'm just clarifying it was an outdoor run rather than a treadmill run. A tready, okay. Treadmill better on the joints. Yeah, I was going to say, how are the knees? But the winter was nice, and I was like, I need a bit of sun.

Do you know at our gym, we've got new treadmills? Oh, Hayley and I? We did our hot girl walk on them the other day, didn't we? We're injured. Very, very, what did you think I said? Injured. Because we were injured, we did our Hot Girl War. I thought you'd injured yourself further with another,

oh no, with a tumble off the new treadmill. Actually, should we, I think we should get Vaughney one of those, like, bringing a friend past things, so you can try these elite treadmills. Oh, they're nice. And you could Bluetooth your phone to the screen, your watch would sink up with it. It takes you on a bush wall. My one goes, bloop, and you can sink up the watch. And it tracks your distance and stuff.

Yeah, yeah. You could watch TV. I mean, you can do this on treadmills for a long time, but this is just like the next generation. Right. Well, I'll be going back to the treadmill run after what I've experienced in the wild. Oh, what happened? I was running rural roads, which are always a bit sketchy to run on,

but I kind of grew up running on rural roads. That's how we're going to find you dead just in the ditch, because the lorries hit you. Yeah. And the lorry driver's like, what an inconvenience if I stop. Yeah, yeah, and he checks. He's like, no blood, minimal damage. I'll just keep going.

Yeah, yeah. He'll think it's natural causes. There's literally no cameras around. But he's driving... Why ruin two lives? Yeah, and then he just deletes his dash cam. Yeah, yeah. He'll win two lives.

And because Fletch has established him as a lorry driver, I imagine he's talking like, like a lorry driver. I'm a lorry driver. I'm a lorraine. He'll delete your dash cam, let's get out of here. He'll stop at a truck stop. He'll just hose off any blime.

I've got a family to think about. Yeah, yeah. Why worry you? Why ruin two lives? As he eats his pie Should have been running on a road That will teach him Get yourself some exercise, mate

Park life That's what that felt like to me I really like that bluer song Oh my god So I'm running along a rural road And I see a duck With some ducklings crossing the road You can see where this is going

You can see where this is going I've got trauma I've got childhood trauma You know this when it comes to ducklings This would have been maybe 50 metres ahead of me And a car comes around the corner and plows through the mother and a handful of them.

The mother and the... So the mother's dead? The mother like, wab-da-da-b-b-bum, rolls. And how many ducklings? So what's a total kill number? Seven or eight?

Wait, did the driver stop? Or did the driver continue and say, why ruin eight lives? Why ruin eight lives? Why ruin eight lives, mate? I'll stop in the next truck, stop and hose are off. So what did you do?

Well, the more, what was I supposed to do? They were dead. Fuck. Wait, hang on, hang on. The mother... Was the whole family gone? No. The mother, I think the mother survived.

Okay. Right. But maybe maimed. Mamed. This exact thing happened to me as a child. Mum was in... We were in the car. I can't remember how odd I was.

This is in Nelson. And like a mother and the ducklings walked across the road and like... Bev just didn't give a shirt. Well, she grew up on a farm as well. So you know that you don't swerve for like animals. You don't swerve for, like, animals. I swerve for, animal.

No. If this person going that mowed through the darts and swerved, they could very well have taken out me. Yeah,

but that might have been better than... You know what I mean? That's just one life gone. It's like that old dilemma the train track dilemma. Oh yeah. It's on the track to kill

three people, but do you divert it to kill another? Yeah, just one. Yeah. Oh, God. And people were probably like, why didn't you stop in it? Because if you've ever dealt with that,

they just scattered and hid. There was no... Oh, yeah, right. I don't know how many survived because they ran. Oh, that's horrible. It was like in a watery creek on the side of the road. So there was nothing to be done.

It was pretty fucking horrible. Pretty fucking horrible. Get yourself some therapy on that. Let me go to the gym. Nothing bad like that happens. No, no, no, yeah. You laugh when a human hurts themselves falling off a treadmill. That's humorous and enjoyable.

That's humorous and fun, but not, no. Ugh.
