it's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to a Little Bit of Pod. Vending machine one, Fletch zero. Oh, boo. I've had a run in with a vending machine. What were you getting out of the vending machine?

Well, so I was going to a different gym when Hayley and I were in Wellington. And I was like, I was going to do a cycle class, which Hayley, by the way, was going to join me for. But then I was very sick. Very sick and had been up late. Then he made me go on a hill hike, by the way. So I didn't just stay in bed all day. Thank you. You did do something.

But anyway, so before we went on that hike, I did a cycle class. Because he's a mental person. I went to this gym. I don't know if you can say that these days. Well, I've said it as a mental person. Okay. So I'm going to this gym and I'm like, okay, you know what I need? I need some water.

Because you cannot do a cycle class. Nah. You didn't have your big water bottle with you. Yeah. So I had my gym stuff in my bag. I'll go to the vending machine and this one vending machine is all water. I fucking

hate this. I just, what do you mean you hate this? Drink out of the tap. You had it in the middle of a spin class. No, I needed a bottle. I needed a bottle. So what I do Drink up before you go in and then just survive on your own internal fluids. How long is this gym class? Half an hour. Oh, for fuck's sake.

No, you do it. Honestly, the whole time I'm like. Yeah, you would drink a whole. You did. Can I just get that noise again? So I'm like. For those at the back. Spin, spin, spin, spin, spin.

And pull back. Oh my God, I need this. That's me gulping my water down. So I'm in front of this large vending machine and everything. Are you making that noise too? No, not yet. Not yet. Not yet.

He sips. Upstairs, sure. And I just glance down and it's like initially you swipe your card and then it's like select a number. So I look over and it's like 40 to like 70. But they're all water. They're all water. So I'm just like 48.'m just like 48 just press the button

scan your thing and get a water oh i don't know it doesn't channel you have to pick the channel but they're all the same water it's not flavored water no it's all the same so i'm just like 48 just a random because i see the first one's 40 and the last one's like 70 something so i'm just like 48 or whatever and it goes and then i look down and i've picked the only slot where there's no water bottle it's just oh you fucking idiot only fucking you fucking idiot the only so with that little spiral thing goes i mean it's got nothing to push it yeah and then i even like opened the thing and i was like no it's definitely like nothing came out nothing fell down be like i wonder if there's a magic water down here. So I'm like, for fuck's sake.

God, I'm so dumb. So you had to buy another one. Yeah, so I tap my card. Another $3. Jesus. Oh, no, that's a very expensive bottle of water. The water comes out. So I've spent $6 on a fucking bottle of water.

And I think it was even, you know, like the supermarket brand water. Yeah, just crap water. I was like, I want to play it like a Pam's water. Like one of those bottles that's so flimsy. The more you drink it, it turns into like fabric. But I like those because there's obviously a significantly less amount of plastic in them. And the fish find it easier to eat. Yeah.

They nibble through those in a couple of days. It's like pork crackling for us. It's nice and crunchy and the fish just like, no, no, no, no, no. So I get up to my locket. I put all my shit in my bag and I get out my towel and I get out my drink bottle. And then I'm like, oh, I brought my drink bottle. Oh, you didn't even fucking need it! And so I just

spent six fucking dollars and now I'm like, taking the cheapest. Just one of those days where I'm like, are you kidding me? Wake the fuck up. Like, wake up, dude. It was early. Oh, God. Did you drink the water from the bottle?

So I poured the bottle, the cheap flimsy bottle, into my drink bottle. And then threw the plastic bottle straight into the ocean. And then filled the rest of my drink bottle up from the tap like I should have just done from the effing start. At that stage, the plastic water bottle becomes a special occasion drink. Yes. Because you pay twice as much for it as you needed to. And it's sealed. So, you know, keep that for the apocalypse, I reckon.

I just threw it in the recycle bin and got on with my day. $6 down.
