From the Zedium Podcast Network, it's Fletchpawn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod.
Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod.
Now, guys, I've got a DIY question.
Yep.
My toilet's doing this thing at the moment where it just starts filling itself up again
because it's got a little trickle coming out.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Little trickle, little trickle, little trickle.
I just recently replaced one of these.
Now, I can't even get the lid off my toilet.
There's some magical lock to get it off.
You know, like the buttons?
Yeah, I think it's somehow screwed in.
Look, I don't know.
How, the...
Oh, I don't know.
You're asking the wrong person.
The...
Like, I don't...
I want to...
Like, part of me is like, just get the plumber.
But that's going to be like...
No, we can do this.
Just to do our water.
It's just a washer, right?
I don't want to be included in the wee doing this.
It might need a new flush system, but they're not that much.
They're not that much and they're pretty universal.
Okay.
We'll take yours out.
Take it into a plumbing world or a whatever.
And we'll say, just need a new one of these.
Where are you going to...
Are you going to piss on the shower for a little bit while that bit's gone?
Do you have a tap?
No, it's in behind the...
It's hidden.
It's hidden.
Because I was going to say sometimes if it annoys you overnight,
you can turn the tap off at the wall and you won't hear the, like, a little fill-ups.
It's just annoying because I can hear it.
And I don't...
I mean, we just, our apartment building pays for water, obviously,
but we don't individually pay.
Right, yeah, yeah.
So I'm not like...
It's just I hear it going.
Like, s...
And then it stops, and I'm like, oh, that is annoying me.
Yeah, yeah.
Any repetitive sound in night, are you like...
It's like trying to sleep in a hotel or a motel.
or Airbnb and you can just hear the shower dripping.
Yes.
It's like, drip, drip.
And you're like, I've turned the shower off.
Why is it still fucking dripping?
I've unplugged the fridge.
I've pulled this out.
I always unplug the minibar fridges.
Because you always hear them.
I could not care if stuff in there is perishable.
That thing's going unplug the second I'm in there.
I don't care if your morrow bar's going soft.
Yeah, I'm not going to eat the morrow then.
So, Vaughner, you're going to sort this out for Fletch?
Yeah, I was like, I can get a plumber, but it's like, I don't want to be, like,
Like, I don't want the look of, oh, you can't fix this yourself?
No.
No, no, no, no.
Well, surely there's a YouTube tutorial.
There's a heaps.
There's a heaps.
There's a man complex about this.
Hiring another man.
Not really.
Not really.
I'm very reluctant to hire a trade endless.
It's an electrician.
Yeah, see, I'll always get an electrician, but it just seems to me that replacing,
it's just going to be like a little rubber bung, right?
A valve.
Well, either the seal's gone or the actual mechanism itself.
They don't last forever because they're made of plastic.
Everything's made in Janea
And it doesn't last
Bring back the good old days
Of an armatage shanks
Or a toto toilet
None of these flash posh brands
With their plastic bits and pieces
Yeah, okay
It was a good old days
Well maybe yeah
Maybe I have a look on YouTube
And see how we go
Yeah
I think this is probably a good idea
Yeah, easy
