From the Zedium Podcast Network, it's Fletchforn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Now, we've talked about it. We went to Sydney. You did go to Sydney. For the premiere of Season 2 of Fallout. And before we came back, we went to the, because it was a business trip. We were working the whole time.

Oh, the whole time. There was no time for even shopping. I think we went to the Lego shop in the Shibububo's. Do you buy anything for them? Anything Shibu? No, Labooboos. Oh, we were trying to find fucking clinkers. Oh, yeah.

Hey, one dragged me around to every dairy in supermarket in Sydney. In the morning, when I woke up really early, I walked around the dairies in an insane hour of the morning looking for clunkers. Love clinkers, man. There's a clinkers, they used to be a lolly in New Zealand, but now they're in Australia. How do you describe the inside?

It's like a big hokey-pokey? Like a big biscuity. No, it's not biscutty. It's not a biscuit, but like dusty candy. It's like a hard banana. It's like a hard banana. banana lolly covered in chocolate right almost like freeze dried yeah yeah and then

they're different colors different colors and different flavors but covered in chocolate and so you when we used to have the back of the day you'd bite them up and like green yeah I'm my favorite and then now the dumb gen alphas are making a big thing and they've sold out across Australia this is yellow you've got a kiss me and then they're like oh pink nice merchants you got to marry me I've seen this yeah you done it I've done it I've seen it yeah if I bite this If I bite this and it's yellow, everyone gets 50% off their order today.

Lots of business has been doing that. So apparently that's caused this commotion, which has made my daughters specifically ask them, but also made them impossible to find. Yeah. So anyway, we drapes around Sydney before going to the airport. So we get to the airport. We're quite sweaty. I bet.

And we decide because we've got lounge access, because we're business travellers and we're in the lounge. Business boys. We decide to have a shower. Together. Not together. Not together. Not together. I knew it.

I'm finishing up. I'm finishing up work on my iPad and one time. I'm just going to grab a shower. And then he comes back and he's holding all of his stuff, his undies and his t-shirt and stuff. And he's like, oh, everyone's in the shower. And I was like, oh, well, it's, you know, busy time of the day. Everyone's heading back home.

And he calls his daughter and gets on the FaceTime. And while he's doing that, I'm like, well, I'll go try the shower. Maybe these ones come free. So I walk in and open the first door. I'm like, oh, that's empty. Walk to the next one. Oh, that's empty. And then I'll just go in here.

Cool. I'm like, oh, they must have all just left. And so I have a quick shower. And I'm like, Vaughn, the showers are free. He's like, oh, fantastic. He's off his calling. He was like, I'll go now. Perfect.

He comes back. The showers are all full. I'm like, impossible. You're an idiot. What's happened? Well, Vaughn, why don't you tell Hayley what happened? Well, I said to, I said, well, I can see the red dots on the doors, but some of them are just like black dots. You know, red is like engaged.

Green is like vacant. Yeah. I was like, are they black? What's the deal? I said, how hard do you have to push them? Because, you know, when someone's, you're in a bathroom and someone starts ringing on the door. Yeah. And.

And it's like, ah, someone's in here, someone's in here. I was like pulling on the door and nothing was happening. So I came at Fletcher. I said, how hard do you have to pull on them? He said, they're a push door. Fucking home. Hell on earth. But what?

But what does the handle on a push door look like? Like here in the studio. That's a pool. That's a pool. And the push is flat. The push is a plate. The push is a plate. The pull is a handle.

Yeah. It was a push door, but it was a handle. Now, if it had been a plate, I would have pushed. No, lots of... But it had a pull handle. I sent a photo. There's just no way that a push door, especially a clicker, because it had a clink on it.

Yeah. You know? So I was pulling it. Can't pull it this way, but it felt locked because it had a bit of movement on it. Should I laugh, though? And then I sent the classic far side cartoon Midvale School for the Gifted where the kids pushing the pool door with the big pool. Pull sign on it.

That's you. Yeah, that's you. But... You're dumb idiot. He's pushing and it's a pull handle. Yeah. I was... I was pushing...

I was pulling on a pull handle. Yeah. It's a push plate and a pull handle. Push plate. And if you're pushing in on the outside, there shouldn't be a handle. It should just be a plate. And this is a hello-d-eye on.

I do agree with you, but I think aesthetically, for some places, having the same handle on either side sort of more fits the aesthetic. I couldn't disagree more. Maybe they need a sign for people like Vaughan that says push Yeah It was like that automatic door as well Oh, Warren got told off

So told off by a man I'm guessing he was younger than me I just grabbed a door and pulled it up He's like fuck mate Like to a stranger I'm a guest at this hotel sir Please treat me with some respect Oh my god

Fuck mate it's an automatic door You fucked it now And I was like oh I didn't have the heart to tell him I'd already been in and out of that door Yeah I also man right I'd also pull that door open Push the button and the door worked

He's like, oh, you're lucky. It still works, but people are fucked in that. And that's not just like, it's weird. He's swearing so much. Yeah. Just fucking swearing to me. He swearing so much at someone staying at this hotel when he works there. Door not broken.

And if you're designing toilets or showers or whatever, whatever way is pushed, that's where the plate goes. The other side is a handle.
