The ZM Podcast Network. Fletchbourne and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with MyMackers Rewards. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. And we mentioned on The Big Pod your parents have landed back. They have, yeah. Well, I thought they were landing tomorrow. Because I know you're pissed off at me because I'm bailing on that gym for the second time this week.

You're only bailing on yourself. Yeah, I know. Oh, fuck off my heart, my gandy. I know. Look, I know, but I'm going to go pick them up and we're going to have a nice afternoon together. We're going to spend our birthday weekend together. And then you were like, where are you picking them up from? I was like, their hotel in Parnell, which is a very bougie part of Auckland.

But also, I'm not even aware of that many hotels in Parnell. No, there's only really a couple. Isn't it a motel? I think it might be a motel. It's hotel. A moterin? A hotel at a stretch. At an absolute pinch.

And this is, we've been roasting you because this is the absolute epitome of boomer accommodation. Boomercom. Yeah. Like, boomers love a motel. But my parents aren't boomery. And a moterin. I know my parents are not boomery they're

bougie my parents yes that's why i'm really surprised by this but parents love a cheap not over the top and she loves the area so she's like it's good for walks to go see all the nice houses and the nice eateries and stuff and she's like well we just put our bags down there literally if you bought it i'm looking at, I'm looking at their website. I'm looking at their food. It doesn't look too bad. So this is why my mum stays there. The food is amazing.

And she says they do a nice pork belly. Check out that pie. Yeah, but it looks like the hotel at a stretch looks like it's from the 40s. Yeah, it is. It's got one of those roofs that I don't even reckon is 2.4. It's almost lower than 2.4, 2.2, let's say. And it's like stippled you know with asbestos yeah the old asbestos they get a they get a bargain and parents get set in their ways

whereas i will just peruse this uh booking site and just find the nicest but cheapest same hotel also just to uh reiterate listener this is so far away from my house like they're only in auckland to see me so far away from my house like they're only in auckland to see me so far away from my house yeah admittedly like when the time comes that i've got my house up and running they'll just stay with us but yeah i don't want them to they've got fucking bed bugs oh yeah so they've been in france and we mentioned this on the big pod uh there's a like how does an entire city get overrun by bed bugs because i know there was that story about was it the mgm or one of the hotels in Vegas had

a real problem. Did it? Yeah. Because I'm guessing that once they're out in a room, they kind of just like walk around. Yeah. It's just sort of everywhere in Paris. Ooh. They're going to be in their suitcases.

Yeah. They're not putting their suitcases anywhere near you, are they? No, I'm not. Your parents are staying 29 kilometers from your house. Yeah. And they are staying 2.5 kilometres from Fletch. Yeah. Whose parents are these people?

Yeah, I know. And my father-in-law just... 500 metres away. Fletch will pop around and help them if I've got any tech questions. No, he won't. He won't. He won't.

He certainly won't. He certainly won't. Go get bed bugs from my parents. He'll avoid that at all costs. My parents, this summer, we went away with them last summer and I honestly think I'm the only child my parents can travel with. Like, because

everybody's pretty relaxed. Yeah. And my kids are pretty chill kids. But like, and there's only two of them whereas my brother and sister have both got three. But mum said to me the other day, she's like, I don't want to push our luck but do you guys want to do a week away again at the beach and we'll split the accommodation oh no she said we'll pay for the accommodation oh as long as she finds it because that's my mom's the same she'll be like we only

know that place we only know that place with the one fold out bed um you know and your father like because it costs 10 cents a night to stay at and they have free coffee. It's terrible, terrible, terrible coffee, but they have free coffee. Yeah. And it freaks them out. They've got those nice floral quilts. There, that's where we want to stay. There's five places. That one's nice.

It's got a pool and it's a bit more expensive, but it's got all the pool and it's got a click book. And my mum's just like, she does it so quickly. She does it so quickly. She does it. She's a wizard. She doesn't think about it overnight. When does she have a panic attack about it so quickly. She does it. She's a wizard. She doesn't think about it overnight. When does she have a panic attack about it? I don't.

Yeah. But they like what they know and they know what they like. Yeah. It's just they know the routine. They know the cafe nearby. They're doing that. Yeah. They know what it is to get an Uber out to my house.

Yep. Or for me to come and pick them up. Anyway. Look, I'm looking forward to seeing them. Bed bugs and all.
