Fletch, Vaughan & Hayley's Lil Bitta Pod - 10th October 2026

0:00From the Zedium podcast network, it's flage for one in Halees, a little bit of pod. Welcome to a little bit of pod. I can't stop talking about the fact that I was in Australia. I was literally there for 24 hours. You think I'm making a bloody meal out of that? You're giving it big, like, first time overseas. Yeah. Energy. Yeah. Yeah, no, what I did do was so did the interview. I can say that now, I can't add to that. Yeah. And afterwards, I had a couple of hours to kill before I had to go back to the airport, where I then killed a few more hours, and then the flight got delayed, so I killed more hours. Got home at 1.30 in the morning. And I was walking around the waterfront of Sydney, which I've been to so many times, and I didn't realise there was a little zoo there. Well, yeah. Yeah. I'm a waterfront in Darling Harbour. Yeah. I'm Darling Harbour. There's a...it's part of Australia Zoo, but it's called like, wow, life or something. It's just Australian animals. It's little. Is it for the tourists that get off a cruise ship? Oh, by the aquarium.

1:00Yeah, it's by the aquarium. Oh, it's by the aquarium. And there's an avarine and all this kind of stuff. For the tourists that don't want to venture too far out of the city to... Or go and see all the bullshit animals. It's like, wombat, platypus, kangaroos, koalas. You're favourite animals. And I don't know that I've talked about this much on the boat cast, but I've been horrifically anxious recently, and I was on this morning probably. I've tried not worrying about it. Fuck, I should write that down. Write that down on your list. Yeah. Shit, I'll be wasting a lot of money. I'll be wasting a lot of money. What have you got to worry about? Is that a question I asked myself in the moment? What have you really got to worry about? It's a woman who's doing quite well for herself. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Write that down, write that down. What do you order? Give you something to worry about? That's old school. That's you in the sort of a threat there. As I do my bad breathing, I've been told off from them by my therapist. So I saw this little thing, and I saw a perpetrator of a koala, and I was like, oh my God, this is the cure. Yeah. This is the cure. No pams or prams or coutella rams or whatever are going to cure me in the way that just standing next to a koala will.

2:01So I got, I quickly book online, and there's a slot for like a upfront, up close koala visit. And it's so exciting. Do you even ask how much that is? The whole day cost me, but the koala visit was for two. Right. Because it was the minimum amount. Wait, you booked a two person koala trip for you. Yeah, but it mean I got two photos. Yeah, I got to print two photos. The same photo or a different photo. They're like group 11, group 11. I was like, group. Hi, hi. Do you know what was funny though? I was just there for the koala. It's my favorite animal. I love them so much. And obviously never get to say that because I love New Zealand. Yeah. And to get to the koala's, they're the end. And you go through, you know, it's like a one way path, path, path, path of this, path of crocodiles, path of that, path of this. And they were like, the guys are like, hey, did you know that the platypus was like, shut up. I was like, clock that. Fuddle of this.

3:01There's a kangaroo. There's a thing. There's a bird. Cool. Got it. Snake bomb to the thing. It was a Tasmanian devil. Yeah, Soritazidev. And it was like, I'd wasted the actual ticket. Yeah. You know, to see all of the other amazing animals, but get to the koalas. And then yet this girl comes out and she's probably like 10 years younger than me. Like 40. So like, you know, like 20. Yeah. And she's in her 20s, I reckon. And she comes out group 11 and I said, I'm group 11. I said I'm on my own. And I was like, and then we're losing. Fucking loser. Friends. And I was like, oh my god. She said, what brought you to, you know, Australia Zoo today? And I was like, oh, I just flew over for the day to interview a spy school. And now I've got some time to, and I'm in bargo. I know I fucking wasn't supposed to tell anyone. And I was like, what the hell? I'm like, I didn't get a spy school. Get there. And she's like, oh, wow. She's like, is that why you're energy is, you know, she's like, oh my god. I can feel it. You just interview a spy school. I was like, no, no, no, I love koalas.

4:02She's like, oh. And then I reckon, I reckon it's a va. Really? I think we connected. Because I did that thing when I was like, this bitch is going to tell me the most basic facts about koalas that I already know. So I got in there quickly to be like, god, how about, you know, Queensland's still letting people pick them up. That's not right, is it? And she's like, I know. Oh wait, so you were the last thing I say is, you know, maybe you're not allowed to touch them. Oh, go to Queensland then. No, it's bad. Terrible. No, you're so confused. That's so confused. You South Wales is like a strip club in Queensland. It's just like a no holds bar. Yeah, there's like fucking grab it. Grab it. Yeah, she tells me. And I was like, oh, no, you know, once with Brisbane, she was like, oh, no, you know, as a country, we're trying to get it over Roderick. Off we go. She's like, I know a lot about koalas. Don't you tell me the stats I hit her with, you know what I mean? I know 99% of them. Yeah. Different climydia. And she's like, it's a different climydia. I was like, god, these people, these losers. We really got on quite well. And the koalas were gorgeous.

5:02There was like little baby Joey koala and that big mama koala and stuff. And the only thing is they didn't fucking look at the camera. Oh, okay. They've got the official koala photos I had. I don't know like, cancel dogs. You can be like, give me a kiss. I was. They just sleep all day to be fair. Yeah, right. They didn't look at the camera. But I just think, well, I think I razzled dazzled her. And then I said to her, I reckon you've got my dream job. And she said that means something coming from a girl who literally just interviewed a spice girl for work. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean it. And now I think I'm going to leave. So this is my last podcast. It's my final podcast. I actually think I have to go to some kind of like educational place to learn about how to care for them. Yeah. But that would be mine. It's my new dream job that I'm putting in my like vision board for future life. It's to go and be a koala keeper at the zoo.
