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. Now, she moved at the weekend. We mentioned this on the Big Pod producer, Carl Wayne, but there's been an absolute mammoth fuck-up. I'll say it.

Yeah. How was I supposed to know? How was I supposed to know? Well, because when you look at a place to move into, you think about these things. You look at them and go, that's not going to work. No, I just go, oh, my friend owns this house and she has a cat. I'm moving in.

Yeah, okay. But your bed didn't fit. Nah. So what size bed do you have? Just a queen. But it's a queen for a queen, you know? Queen for a queen. Thank you.

No, it's one of those solid ones, though. Like, it doesn't come apart. Yeah, because a lot of bases will split, won't they? Yeah. Need a split base. And you can't take it apart. It's not a slat base that can be taken apart and reassembled. No, because...

Just a big box. I hate those. I'm going to say it. Yeah, they are a pain in the butt. They're squeaky when you're doing it. What? Slats. Those slat beds. Oh, my God. I don't buy slat beds because it ruins your humps. Yeah'm going to say it. Yeah, they are a pain in the butt. They're squeaky when you're doing it. What? Slats. Those slat beards.

Oh, my God. I don't buy slat beards because it ruins your humps. Yeah, it does. Yeah. Well, too many screws. Well, the solid base didn't fit, so I've gone and bought. You're not. Come on, Shagga.

You must know that. Fuck, mate. Any beard will get a bloody hiding with me on top of it. Slat, bloody base, bloody just a mattress on the floor. The whole house is just like, eh, eh, eh, eh. Yeah, it's like,

oh, it's an earthquake. No, it's a fucking earthquake, all right. Very even rhythm, just bloody shagging it again. Oh, shagga. Oh, 40 shagga.

Shagga. I mean, it's such a rhythmic frequency that it dislodges a lot of things. Yeah. You've been known to pump off the old

Richter at a low scale. Yeah, boy. Yeah, GeoNet. Yeah, bull. Geonet. They said it's a very shallow quake but it rumbled on for all of 20 seconds. But even roll. It's another

cumulative short-sharp jolt at point five. I know, we feel them out my way. Sorry, Carl Wayne. You've got a box. You've got a box base. Yes. And you just,

what, you cannot fit it into your bedroom door? No, so it's a three-story house. And you just what, you cannot fit it into your bedroom door? No. So it's a three-story house, so two flights of stairs. The first set of stairs, we got it up perfect. Did you pivot? We pivoted a lot. Okay, pivot.

My friend slash now flatmate who owns the home said, yeah, shove it. Who cares if it hits the walls? Oh, Jesus. It's her wall. Don't treat my house like that. No, absolutely not. Oh, well, It's ruthless from a person that I know. No, absolutely not. Oh, well, she's my landlord. It's fine.

And then as we were trying to get it up the second stairs, we realised that the first set, we'd use the outdoor door to go out and back in to really get the angle. Yes. But because we're on the second floor, no room for that. What are you going to do then?

Is the man in you guys coming out, is the man in you in your head quietly going, I reckon I could have figured it out? Yes. See, I have the same response. I was like, I reckon I could have done it. So I had Haim and Georgia helping me, and they were like, no, we can't.

Couple of fucking idiots there. Absolute dozos. Couple of fucking... And then my friend was very determined, an idiot's there. Absolute dozos. A couple of fucking We took the handrails off the staircases Oh god That's a really good step And it still didn't What are you going to do now? Buy a new bed? Yeah I've bought a new bed

You've bought a new bed base? Yeah it's getting delivered today And what are you doing with your original one? Put it on the side of the road It's on Facebook Marketplace Oh yeah okay So you managed to get it down Because you would have been half way up

Yeah it was easy to get down No it was easy to get down But can't get back up you should have just got some um i've got a few pallets yeah i'll do it yeah make sure it's got no buggies bugs in it we'll just go mattress on the floor most single guys do that i've been living in an air mattress and i haven't loved it so right oh yeah yeah the air mattress on top of your existence on top of your mattress no oh my god you put the air mattress on top of your mattress. No. Oh, my God, yeah, put the air mattress down and then put the real mattress on top. That would be quite fun.

No, I've got to the age where if I need to get to the floor that low, I'm like, oh, you know? Oh, yeah, you're feeling the knees in the back. You should get a waterbed. Do you know when I was a kid I had a waterbed? Did you? Me and my brother shared one. Did you?

I think my parents had a waterbed and then they got a real bed and then gave it to my brother and then I saw a shirt. My brother would be like... How did you empty? When it came to moving a waterbed, how did you empty it? Homes were the homes. You had to plug it in and then you'd run the hose out the window or something. They just cannot have been good for your back.

Oh my God, that would have been terrible. No, they were awful. I was Googling these the other day because I was watching a movie that was set in the 80s and they had one. And I was like, do you have to refill it constantly? Back in the day, 20% of the mattress industry was waterbeds. That's insane. Really?

Yeah. Ugh, yuck. And it's mostly a sexual thing. Oh, I'm listening to you a lot. Oh, really? It was weird that I was in there as a kid with my brother then. My parents' old sex bed. And my single uncle had one growing up and he lived in the same house as his parents. He was a shagger. He was a kid with my brother there. My parents' old sex bed. And my single uncle had one growing up,

and he lived in the same house as his parents. He was a shagger. He was a shagger. He wouldn't have been sloshing next door to bloody Ellen and Marley, and they would have heard the whole... But they were noisy, too, when you'd get in and out. Slushy slushy. Yeah, yeah.

My parents had one growing up. Of course they did. Of course they did. Miss Shaggers. Miss Legs Australia. Oh, yeah. And they used to heat it up. You would, like, yes. Yes, you could. You could heat them up. You could heat up thes Australia. Oh, yeah. And they used to heat it up. You would like, yes, yes.

Yes, you could. You could heat them up. You could heat up the water. You could, yeah. And it was like the best. As a kid, it was so cool. But now looking back, I'm like, oh, guys, have some taste. The modern waterbed was created by Charles Hall in 1968.

He was a design student at San Francisco State University. He originally wanted to make an innovative chair. His first prototype was a vinyl bag chair with 136 kgs of cornstarch inside it. So he was like a huge stress ball. I don't like that. Oh no, that's yuck.

And waterbeds were banned some places? Do we know that? Was it a fire or a flooding risk in buildings? In buildings, right? If it went, the water would run. Because there was thousands of... Surely they'd pop.

Thousands of litres of water in there. I think we had to declare it to our landlords. I bet you did. Yeah, you would have. If we were on the second floor. Insurance. Yeah. They were on an Edward Scissorhands situation.

They were always massive and were all porno. He went through all the waterbeds. Yeah. He actually did, though, right? In the movie, didn't he. He went through all the waterbeds. He actually did though, right? In the movie, didn't he put his fingers through a waterbed? Yeah. They're gross. Yeah, gross.

They're almost a waterbed back to the day week. I think they're mostly sold for bed sores now. Oh yeah, right. Keep things moving. When I was Googling. Bed sores. So you don't get bed sores. Like people who are bed bound.

Like those old people beds that bend in half and sit you up and shit. Yeah but the water helps you move around. Fell asleep in a bean bag for over two hours. If I went to a hotel there was a water bed I'd have a little bit of sex in it. Really? A little bit. Right. Just a little bit of sex. If it was just you would you just

have like a really Furious swing One of those real thrashes Yeah yeah you're moving around making the most of this water beer
