Welcome to a Little Bit of Pod. And a weird hotel checkout yesterday for me, because we

stayed at different hotels. We did. And I won't say the name of the hotel, because we love at different hotels we did uh and i won't say the name of the hotel because we we love this hotel uh we love the people there but it was it was an odd checkout it was it was early what time did you pick me like eight eight seven thirty yeah it was it was early there were two people at reception yeah um working there and a few people checking out a few people ahead of me um this one guy was checking out a few people and the other guy was at the computer screen tap tap tap tap tap so i walked up to him because he's free and the other guy is already checking out people and he you know tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap

looking at the screen doesn't acknowledge me he's working on his novel finally he looks up at me and he's like oh i'm sorry. My colleague can help you. And I'm like, well, he must be doing something quite. What the fuck are you doing? Like, what are you doing on your computer? Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. Anyway, so I'm waiting. And a few minutes goes by.

It must be a bit of a rigmarole checking out these other people. And then this guy that was tap, tap, just kind of, just stands there, kind of moves his stapler. Help me! Moves his thing. I hate this. And then I look at him and he sees me looking at him and he's like, and tap, tap, tap, tap. Yep, yep.

He was fucking bullshitting. He was bullshitting. He wasn't doing anything. He was bullshitting. He doesn't know how to check you out. He doesn't fucking know how. Or he just can't doing anything he doesn't know how to check you out he doesn't fucking know how or he just can't be fucked he didn't want to check me out he didn't want to do anything motherfucker and like he was doing nothing and like he was rearranging his pens his stapler oh moving a pile of cards and then sees me and pretended to be busy and you know what oh no i recognize this behavior because it's something I would do.

Oh, yeah, me too. I don't want to deal with him. I don't want to deal with him. I don't want to deal with him. I'm not on checkouts today. Yeah, I don't want to check people. Like, literally, it's your job. You're there to check people out.

I was like, you cheeky fucker. Show me the look you gave him when you were looking at him. Oh, yeah, just like, excuse you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, just like, I saw what you just did there. Can you just? I had to wait for the other guy. And then in the meantime, someone pushes in front of me with the other guy so i have to wait even longer i'm looking at this guy tap tap tap i'm like you mother i think you could write a

email oh no like i mean i appreciate it's something i would do like yeah we've got nothing but respect for the brother i think i'd be better at it yeah I kind of had yeah exactly I would be better at it I need to be better at it like I'd just open up a document and start typing yeah me too

and I'd start looking down up and down up and down what's under the desk yeah yeah yeah give it a look under the desk and then a quick like quick dart to the back office

yes yes yes gotta be something back there pretend to walk down some stairs behind the desk pretend I'm in a canoe yeah yeah yeah take the elevator down to the basement Gotta get on my canoe Very cheeky, very cheeky move from this man

How long Do you think it put you out? Like how long? No, I pulled up and he was ready to go Couple of minutes He doesn't have much to complain about in his life No he doesn't So when something arises

It's good to let him vent. Could you hit the minibar? No, and that's the thing. I just sort of down a key drop. Then all that happened, the guy was like, hello,

and I just put the thing on the desk and said, see ya. Yeah. I should have just done that in the first place. I would have done the old key drop.

Sometimes I like to just leave the key in the room, close the door behind me. Oh no, I never do that. I like to do that too. I never do that. I like to do that. If I haven't had anything

from the minibar or whatever. And also, you've taken a, my hotel, and I won't say again, took a $300 bond. Oh, they love taking a bond. I find it weird when they take a bond

for a hotel and there's not a minibar. Yeah. And the TV's from 2001. Yeah. What am I taking? The iron's got like crusty black stains on it.

Yeah. How much jizz do you think I'm going to put on these sheets? Yeah, man. What do you think I'm stealing from you? Like, honestly. $300? It's a wild amount. And you think if they're full and they've got hundreds of rooms,

how much cash they're just sitting on. It's stunning me, man. You go to some hotels and they just charge a dollar just to hold your credit. It's bizarre. There's no... It's all over the show. Yeah, exactly. I know. Anyway, how good's a hotel stay?

That was a natural out. You missed it. Oh, fuck off I go. Listen. I stretched into the natural out. If anyone wants to just press rewind 15 seconds, you just sort of hear that. There you go. Just a stretch back into the natural out. Sorry, I missed it. Should we find another one? Oh my god! Hayley, that was another natural out. Sorry, I missed it. Should we find another one? Oh my God! That was another one!

That was another natural out! Shit! Okay. Goodbye.
