The ZM Podcast Network. Fletchborn and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Do you know the most unusual thing happened at our house last night? Our sink, our bathroom sink cracked. Oh, how? And did you drop something in it?

No, no, no drop. Water. Water temperature. Wait, you idiot. You put fucking water in a sink I know That's on you What a moron It was running water And it was actually the coldest the water had been

We've got an inspection And apparently according to Auckland City Council Who you'll hear about in the big pod today Absolutely getting Wearing it for Requiring a consent for a cat door Water can't come out of your tap At any hotter than 55 degrees

Or you can't get council consent. The minute they leave, you can crank it up. My hot water is so hot. Everyone's always like, oh, it's real hot. It's so hot. You're like me. You like hot water, right? Hot water and high pressure.

Are you turning it up when they leave? You bet. So last night, I was just making sure, pre-inspection, that it was still below 55 degrees. How do you do that? So boiling water's 90. Man, I reckon 100. Boiling water's 100. Why do you do that? So boiling water's 90. I reckon 100. Boiling water's 100. Why do I think 90?

Yeah, it's 100. I mean, it's only pretty much based on what the Celsius system is based on. Zero is where water freezes. 100 is where it boils. Oh, yeah. I don't know why I said 90. Okay, so 100. So what?

95 is so lukewarm. It's not even... Wait, you're comparing it to boiling water. Boiling water would peel your skin off. Mine would be like at least 70. Your hot water cylinder will do it to 60. 60. It has to be...

Your hot water cylinder has to be over 60. Otherwise, listeria and stuff can develop in your hot water cylinder. Right. Are you on a cylinder? Yes. Are you on gas? I'm on gas. What are you on? A cylinder or gas? Cylinder. Are you on a cylinder? Yes. Are you on gas? I'm on gas. What are you on?

A cylinder or gas? Cylinder. You're on a cylinder. Where's your cylinder? Hiding. He's got a hidden cylinder. Does he? He's got a heaty hidey.

It's in the bathroom. I can't think of where it would be. It's in the bathroom. It's next to the washing machine. Yeah. I've just never. But there's no cupboard. You can't hang things in there to get them to dry.

No, I've got a panel that you can take off. Okay. Yeah. Oh my goodness. That's the one thing I'd miss about a hot water cupboard, if I went to gas, would be- Drying. Just chuck things in there and you know they're going to be dry.

You don't need access to that manky old thing. So, it was running at, I was up fiddling with the little tap that lets more cold water in. Yeah. Because the hot water cylinder's always at the same temperature. Isn't there a thermostat? It's more, not a digital. I'm an old school knob.

I was turning the knob. No, I don't there a thermostat? It's more, not a digital. I'm an old school knob. I was turning the knob. No, I don't have a digital thingy. It's a little thing and you've got to screw it around and make it hot and colder. Yeah, yeah, that's what I, the knob. I don't have a big knob. I've got a turny knob. Oh, do you? Yeah, you've got to have like a screw that requires a screwdriver.

Fancy. So it was already just under 55, so I turned it down a little bit more because knowing my luck, something will happen and it'll be just over 55. And then the council's like, no consent. Can I just turn it down while you're here? No, I'm going to need to come back. Fuck you. And so it was at 53 degrees.

Yeah. And then you just heard this bang. And this massive crack in the concrete sink. My daughter was holding the thermometer under the water. Yeah. She said, oh, I almost shit myself. Because it just boom and there's this crack. It was concrete sink.

So to blow apart. It was a concrete sink. Yeah. Okay. And it wasn't like a huge. We're just from too much hot water. 55 degrees isn't that hot. No.

It's literally how hot the council must have it coming out of the tap. You could put it on your body. A sink should be able to withstand that. And it wasn't, like, freezing cold in the bathroom either, because we'd had the heat pumps going, so the house was, like, warm. So it was like a drastic change of temperature. So you have to buy a new sink. Well, here's the good news.

The place that made it, which would still be under their manufacturer's warranties, got out of business. Well, that's not good news. Do you think it's gone out of business because their sinks keep exploding? Maybe. Yeah. Maybe. So how are you going to get this fixed?

I don't know. We're going to go back to the people that we did our bathroom through and make them deal with it. Get a new sink. I was going to fix it with ramen noodles. And resin. Resin and ramen. Yes. Get in there with a bit of that.

Like one of those videos. But did not. No, I didn't. Why? Did you like your sink Because it just changed out This is a perfect chance To have a little change

It was It was pink Um Like a light pink Oh right Well you should go Barbie pink Like lighter than

My drink bottle pink Yeah right Like a pastel Like a pastel pink Like a light pastel pink Okay Um but it did show up Like if it was dirty

Oh yeah okay If it was dirty It looked dirty. Okay. Whereas you want a sink that's dirty but still looks clean. Yeah. Get a grey, like a mottled grey kind of a stone. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, no, because anything dark, when you spit toothpaste on it. Poo brown. Yeah. The toothpaste is like, I'll sit here for a bit, I reckon. Yeah. Probably just a white sink's the easiest sink to make look clean. Yeah. Except when I'm shaving into our sink, because it's white.

Full of pubes. Yeah, rid it's white. Full of pubes. Yeah, riddled with pubes. Gin pubes. Do you ever use the urinal here at work and there's pubes in it? I'm always. Who's peeing so hard their pubes are falling out? No, it's how aggressively they rip their cock out of their pants. Fucking get out of here.

Also, some of them are real long and you're like, trim them at least. Like run a trim. I know. They're massive pubes. And I'm like, you're fishing it out. You're pulling out some of your pubes. And they're like two centimeters long. That's ridiculous.

It's a bloody bush down there. Two centimeters long. No, no, no. They're like two inches long. That's what I'm sorry. I meant inches. Yeah. They're very long pubes.

Yeah. Can't we get caught a pinch? Rub around? A little puby? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maintain. So here's the lesson. Today's moral of the day.

Concrete sinks bad Concrete sinks Can go bang Yes And they have a big crack in them And trim your pubes And the council's Bloody fucking hell Fucking council

The fucking council Fucking council
