The ZM Podcast Network. Fletchborn and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with MyMackers Rewards. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. And what a cliffhanger. Yesterday, A Little Bit of Pod producer Jared with a... This shit is cliffhanger of all time. Hey, hey.

I'm really surprised we've dragged this out over two days, but at the same time, I admire it. Yeah, nice. Because it saves us having to think of something else. It's less work for us. For the 365-day-a-week podcast that we're running here. We just give, we give, we give, we give. Yeah.

Give, give, give, give. Now, Producer Jarrod, what's the issue in the bathroom? No, no, no, you can't do that. You've got to go, when we left you, Producer Jarrod. Oh, that's right, previously. We found out that Vaughan Smith has come to work today with a couple of planks of wood and a vise. Four mini clamps

Four mini clamps. Oh Jesus fucking Christ what are you letting him do? I'm doing it. He's just providing me with the tools. What are you doing? Yesterday a lightbulb blew in my bathroom. Oh no! Ding ding ding. Tune in tomorrow

to find out. We were promised a laundry follow-up, yet here we are in the bathroom? Yeah, this is not where I thought this was going. Yeah, it's the story

filled with twists and turns. Oh, my God. You've got me hooked. Yeah, did you think there was going to be a drainage issue? Yeah, I did. I was hoping for another sudlock.

Yeah, okay. So, light bulb blue. I took a stroll down to the Mighty Pack And say I haven't grabbed a replacement bulb Do you have a bayonet or a screw? We have a bayonet Oh, all about bayonets No, I don't like the bayonet

I prefer a screw I love push, click, down Yeah, bayonets rule Bayonets rule They rule until you're in a scody flat And no one's taken that bayonet lightbulb out for 10 years And it's stuck in there Oh yeah, it's minced with grease.

And you get a handful of glass. And you've got to get the pliers, some insulated pliers to get it out. Be very careful. Or when your missus twists it the wrong way and rips it off the roof, eh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because the light bulb was the wrong one, so I went to the toilet to check if I could just jimmy those light bulbs around. Yeah. Looks like someone had that idea first, and now that light fitting is hanging off the roof a little bit.

Don't know how it happened. She manhandled the bayonet and ripped it straight out the roof. She might have. Okay, so how's Vaughan's bit of wood and some clamps going to fix this? Because then when I was looking for the screwdrivers to refit that fixture, I opened the laundry cupboard and a whole bunch of water came out. And that's not where the water goes. Is this a sub-lock issue?

No, this is, I believe I didn't screw the water tube tight enough and it's just been leaking for a little bit. Now, when he moved into this flat, he hit the lads' chat with basically a how-to connect this up. And advice flowed thick and fast. That's great. That's what lads chats are for. Why didn't you go around there and help him out?

Should've. And now looking back on it, because what he's got is he's got some swollen MDF. Oh, no. That's not undoing itself, that issue. Yeah, it's a little bit swollen. So I think the clamps, the wood, a little bit of twink. So I've said put a bit of towel around it, then the wood,

then the clamps, and some damp bread or a dehumidifier. Help dry it back into shape. Dry it and squeeze it back in. It'll never be the same. It'll never be the same, but then squeeze in a little bit. It may then allow for a twinking or a white painting and just covering that up. But I also think that's general wear and tear

if you're there for a few years. Yeah, but then... But it's brand new. Oh, yeah. The pressure's on you now at the house inspection when you move out. Oh, yeah. To really get those titties out for the...

You're going to have to show them something. You're going to have to show them something. Work out if it's a gay. You might have to get in some skimpy shorts. I tell you what, I hope you've not got an asexual landlord because you're really going to have to fuck your way out of it. It's the only way you're going to have to fuck your way out of it. All right.

Well, good luck with that. The worst is when the door doesn't shut properly anymore. That's when the swelling becomes noticeable. You've ruined a brand new laundry. Is it the bottom or is it the removable shelf in the middle? It's both. I'll go straight on the bottom because

you can't take that out. You can always get a new shelf. I thought I might just try to flip it upside down but then the cutouts will be the wrong way around. It's doable. It's fixable. Let's not get too upset. Well, good luck with that one, Jared.

Thanks, guys. Great cliffhanger, actually. Yeah, great cliffhanger. That was great. Tune in next week when I find out that my lover is my brother's auntie. Brother's auntie.
