Download, scan and play the Monopoly game at Maccas to be in to win. We have had a storage unit for nearly six months and I only just saw it for the first time last night. And it's incredible.

Because what, you're doing reno, so you needed somewhere to store all the furniture. Yeah, because we've got our garage, but we're wanting to save that for stuff that is like being used for the reno, like tools and materials and that kind. We're not hoarding. We're not hoarding jib.

There's no jib in there. But you know what I mean? Like keeping that available as a workspace. All of our plants, our indoor plants are in the garage at the moment. Oh, in the garage that you have in the storage unit. No, no, no, no. So things like our paintings

and lamps and yeah, like decorations and outdoor furniture and TV and all that kind of stuff. We moved to a storage unit. And when I say we, I didn't lift a finger. And Aaron, I just got in there last night. We had to go pick something up. What was it? A lamp.

And we went to go pick it up and he opened it. And this is a mark of Aaron's organisation. It is like Tetris in there. Oh, yeah. Love a good use of space. And he was like, do not. I was like, there's the lamp that we wanted to grab.

And I went to go in and he was like, ah, la, la, la, la. And he had to sort of remove one to the side, remove that, create the perfect pathway to knock the things out of there. And then he pushed the cabinet in like, ah, la, la, la, la. And he had to sort of remove one to the side, remove that, create the perfect pathway to knock the things out of there. And then he pushed the cabinet in and unfortunately it filled up the whole thing and a whole lot of it disappeared. It just disappeared. It is like Tetris. But I was like, it's a lovely space.

Fascinating spots, eh? So fascinating. When we were doing our garage, we put my Land Rover in there and a few other bits and pieces that were too big because we've got a container, a 20-foot container at our house that we've been using as a tool shed and with all the stuff in it. But everything that was too big for that, we put in a storage unit. Fascinating.

And it just makes buildings, eh? Yeah, huge footprints. You drive past them and they're massive. Yeah. Well, there's like a – we were driving past because it's like rows, right, and you've got to like snake through to get there. And we drove past like a younger couple who had pulled up their car and they were grabbing some stuff. And we drove past, I was like, that is a shambles.

Oh, yeah, no, there's some shambles. Just like shoved in. Yeah. Everything was pouring out. They were pulling crap out of plastic bags and stuff. And not cheap. Not cheap. Dude.

Like not cheap. When I was cleaning ours out, you had to go and take everything out, give it a sweep out, and give your swipe card back, and they give you your bond back. This guy opposite me was fiddling around. He had a motorbike and a car in there, and then he shut it and locked it and drove away. And when I was driving out, he was stopped at another one.

He had another one with another car in it. And do they treat them like a garage? Yeah. And they work on them like a garage? Yeah. And they work on them? Yeah. I suppose if you don't have a garage, which a lot of people don't. And it's expensive to add them. But if you were a car enthusiast or you even just had a car,

it makes sense. What's the rent like? Can I just crack the door an inch and live in it? Like, you know, they do in the movies. No wee-wees, no poo-poos. No wee-wees, no poo-poos, no lights and lots of them. Yeah. You can get ones with lights, but you know wee-wees, no poo-poos. You'd pay a bit more. For a wee-wees and no poo-poos. No wee-wees, no poo-poos, no lights and lots of them. Yeah. You can get ones with lights, but you know wee-wees, no poo-poos.

You have to pay a bit more. For a wee-wees and a poo-poo. Yeah, wee-wees and a poo-poo and a light. You could get a portal to put in there. I will say they're not cheap. I just looked at our bank account because Aaron set it all up. And it's only temporary. It's while we're renovating so that all of our crap's just not around.

I just saw it on our bank account. I can't believe what they're charging to just Do nothing If you want to make money Run a storage place Hayley King Hayley Queen Hayley Queen The storage queen

But then how is the storage king going to feel About a queen coming onto the tour He's over he's the storage king consort now. Right. He's not the storage king anymore. Yeah, yeah. I guess you could behead him like they do on Game of Thrones and then you are the queen queen. Storage queen. Usurper.

You could be the storage usurper. Well, keep your eyes out for storage queen coming to West Auckland. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Thank you, Sam. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

The whales. Oh, the whales. Oh, my God. You've spent a lot of that lately. So sad when you see a mass stranding and then you have to have a couple. Oh, guys. Swim the other direction. Is it that simple?

I don't think so, no. I don't know. So one gets beached and then do they hear it and do they all follow it? Yeah. Is that how the beachings happen? Yeah.

There's sonar? They pump out the sonar and there's something about a certain gradient of beach that makes it look like they can go that way. Oh, right. And then they get

their bellies stuck in the sand. I mean, I'm not going to tell a sea mammal who's been doing it for thousands of years how it should be done, but come on, guys. Yeah. Mm. Sad. Maybe we should chuck a couple of buoys on these sorts of beaches with a little... Well, that might attract them.

Woot, woot, woot, woot, woot. Turn around. Turn around. Oh, okay. Yeah, right. Very sad. Do you know what's not sad? Do you remember when we gave away $100,000 yesterday?

I know. It was so much fun. That was sad. I was hoping to get that. That was sad in its own way. It got me though, because this whole time I've been thinking it was like a plastic sound. But it was, when you hear it, it's so obviously an egg breaking. I know, I know, now you can't un-hear it, but I

thought it was some kind of plastic kind of fricking. Whereas for the last, what, four or five weeks we've been like, what is it? So obvious. Irene picking up, and her husband Carl picking up $100,000 yesterday. We'll catch up with her today. Oh, yay. See if she slept

at all. Who's put a with her today. Oh, yay. See if she slept at all. Who's put a handout? Ask for some money. I might. We'll find out later on this morning on the show. The top six on the way are university, offering a Nicki Minaj paper. Yes, the top six things you will learn at Nicki Minaj 101. Wow.

What are you just like, what's not to learn? Do unis do this for like publicity? I think so. Because we're talking about it, right? Because I saw there was another one this week where there was a paper on doing absolutely nothing. Not doing nothing on your phone, doing nothing. Is this one of those papers you do just to make up numbers? Yeah.

In your degree? But also how many people have the ability to do nothing? I wonder how far you could take it. A master's, a doctorate. Of nothing. Doing nothing. Of nothing. I'm a doctor of nothing.

Doctor nothing. And then on a plane. Well, you wouldn't be on a plane because that's going on holiday and technically you do nothing. That's doing something. Yeah, that's doing something, isn't it? All right, well, the top six soon

dealing with this new Nicki Minaj paper at university. Next on the show, though. One of the greatest weeks. I mean, some people love Shark Week. Don't get me wrong, I love Shark Week. When it comes to animals and seven days in a row, we're dedicated to a week. There is no final week.

Then the week we find ourselves in, and I'll tell you what it is next. It's Fat Bear Week This is why I'm up on my feet because it reminded me that we're doing the antithesis of Fat Bear Week You're not eating as much salmon as you can this week

Don't presume to know how much salmon I'm having I did see you down at a river yesterday catching a couple Face down, ass up in a local river. I was. I don't think you're going to catch much. I just got straight in for the mouth. Yeah, I don't think you're going to catch much.

I'm sorry about that. It is Fat Bear Week. This is, if you don't know, it's in Alaska, and there's cameras set up everywhere, and the bears eat as much as they can and put on as much weight as they can before hibernation begins. Is this who runs Fat Bear Week? Is it like Discovery that do the Shark Week?

No. Fat Bear Week. FatBearWeek.org. It's like a government organisation, a national parks initiative to see who's going to. And the thing is, so you see the pictures of the bears and then you vote what you think. Which bear's going to get fattest? Oh, right, so you vote for the f the bears and then you vote what do you think. Do you vote for the-

Which bear's going to get fattest. Oh, right. So you vote for the fattest bear, not like the cutest bear. No, you vote for the bear that you think has the potential to become the fattest. Oh, wait. And then when's the judging? In like a year's time or something? No, no, no.

It's just before they hibernate. Oh, just soon. How do they find out? Just photos or do they wait? Yeah, no, no, no. Well, they don't go out to a grizzly bear and they're like, hey, tubs. On your pop. Jump on the.

What's that? Have you guys at the gym ever had those fat pinches? The calipers. Yeah, the calipers? No, I've only had like a scan one before. But that's scan. Yeah, they scan your body. Part of doing body measurements, right?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But I'm just wondering, is that what they do to the bears? Some fat pinches? Yeah, you go up and punch a bear's fat. My little cutie-padootie. Because a couple of days ago I had to do that thing where, you know, you pick up your cat and you jump on the scales

and then you drop the cat. And I was like, am I still holding the cat? Yeah. What's that number? The cat's definitely not let go. Yeah, yeah. The cat must be on my back or something. But you're like, I have to do it.

They really put on a lot of weight, don't they? They do, yes. Looking at the website, from when they're like, you know, coming out of hibernation and, you know. Yeah, they fade away. They fade away. Yeah. Completely.

How heavy would they be? Well, they get up into the high 300s, 400s. Wow, that's a fat beer. Yeah. And then when they really like chunk up the biggest one, as a 544 kgs, they actually somehow managed to measure the weight of that one. God, imagine if it was that easy just to go to sleep for a few months and then wake up 100 kgs lighter.

How long are they asleep for? And they just don't eat that much. Well, they just hibernate over winter, unless otherwise disturbed. And also, don't they, like, bung up their buttholes? Yeah, they do. They do. Sorry.

They eat stuff that causes, like, a block in their indigestion, but, yeah, they also, like, put stuff in their bums. So they don't poop that whole time too? No, no, no, they don't poop. You know, like, how they make a mud hut in Africa? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a bit of straw and mud and dung. They bung up their holes.

Or mud bricks, yeah. Yeah, mud bricks. They mud brick their bum hole. It's also a great winery, but it's also a great way to stop you. Oh, good wine. Stop passing anything. Yeah, over winter when you're hibernating. I did not know this.

And then there's pictures of like the first dump they take when they come out of hibernation and it's quite something. Are you googling? First dump beer post hibernation. Fat Beer Week, we're already into the semi-finals of Fat Beer Week so explore.org

slash fatbeerweek if you want to participate. I just googled first dump beer post hibernation. I've spelt beer the wrong way. And then it says alcohol and breastfeeding. Is it safe to pump and dump? That's not quite what I was looking for.

I want to know what you're after. Beers take a massive after hibernation. Show me the receipts. There's, wow. It's a mound. There was a baby beer, like a new beer in Fat Beer Week. It's 909. Oh, yeah. It's 90 It's a mound There was a baby bear Like a new bear In Fat Bear Week It's 909

Oh yeah It's 909's yearling So 909 is a bear And 909's It's a yearling It's offspring They're all numbered You get to get named

Or it's own official number The difference between The start of summer And the end of summer It's huge Shredden So cute So cute

Well there you go. Fat Bear Week on at the moment. Coming up on the show, the top six. Yeah, the top six things you can learn at the Nicki Minaj course that the University of Berkeley is running. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, one airline looks to have banned air tags. You're a big air tag boy.

These have been selling like absolute hotcakes in the last six months as the world has opened back up and travel has boomed around the world and airlines haven't had enough staff to move bags. Is Heathrow still a mess? I just remember it was Heathrow was where the photos were coming out. Just piles and piles. I think so, yeah.

Yeah, I think Europe and a lot of places are a mess just because people are, like any industry, just calling in sick with COVID. Ugh. And, yeah, airports are struggling. Well, somebody tweeted Lufthansa saying, look, I know where my bag is. It's at your airport out the back.

And this is one of many people saying this because a lot of people just looking up their air tags on their app. It's not quite that simple though, is it? Well, no. Well, it's out there. I can see it. It's out the back, but out the back could be a giant storage of thousands of bags. Well, Lufthansa tweeted back one guy, David, saying, Lufthansa is banning activated ear tags from luggage as they are classified as dangerous and need to be turned off.

Right. They were pressed further on it. And, yeah, they pointed to dangerous goods regulations. Do they use Wi-Fi? Bluetooth. They use Bluetooth. So they work when other iPhones are around. Yes.

And like tiles, other users of tiles. So if the baggage handlers have iPhones, you're fine. So if I had an AirTag on my handbag. Yes. And somehow I ended up

in a bush. Yeah. And I left my handbag there. Yeah. And the next day I'm trying to find it, I probably wouldn't be able to. No, you would

because you would have been with your phone, which would have been next to your handbag, right? Oh, so it doesn't have to be currently at the... No, but it updates when it gets into somebody else's phone. Yeah, so if somebody walked past with their iPhone, it would update that time. So its location is dependent on the last time it was near a phone.

So when I went to Australia, what, in June, July, I had an AirTag on my suitcase because I was like, I'm putting an AirTag on my suitcase because all these stories about missing suitcases. And yeah, as soon as I landed, I could see my bag was in that same city. But you put it inside your suitcase, eh? No, it's just on a tag on the handle. Oh, just steal it.

Yeah, that could just be cut off. It would still work if you put it on an internal zip. And then I'd tie it to a seagull. Yeah. And then see where the seagull went. Yeah, yeah. But then the seagull would have to be within Bluetooth. Yeah, so I mean, it was a thousand miles out to sea.

You'd have to strap an iPhone to it as well. And a battery pack. Seagulls already have iPhones. Do they? Yeah, okay. Well, you'd need a battery pack. Seagulls already have iPhones. Do they? Yeah, okay. Well, you'd need a battery pack. So you'd have to plug the iPhone into a battery pack, have that strapped on the back with an ear tag probably around its neck.

Probably around its neck. Yeah, it'll look nice around its neck. And then you could see where the seagull goes. You'll be good to do for an albatross because they travel far. Yeah, give them a little fun with a solar charger. Solar charger. Why don't we fun. With a solar charger. Solar charger. Why don't we think about that? It'll never run out.

Because they fly high. They already do track birds. They do track the albatross. Yeah, they have the tiny little trackers on them and they put them on their back. On their little ankles. This will be easier though. We'll all be able to see it.

Well, yeah, exactly. Because I don't have a sort of in the moment update on my phone to track the mighty albatross. No. So I want a personal one. Well, I mean, I guess if airlines are starting to ban these, just put them in your suitcase. They're not going to know, are they?

Yeah, exactly. That's what I mean. They can go into your stuff though, can't they? I guess they just get, yeah, they can. I guess they're just getting sick of everybody like. Knowing better. Knowing better and just like, come on, I know where my bag is. We have a plan.

We have a plan. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley from the self-driving ZM Think Tank. This is the Top Six. Would you like to attend university to do a course on Nicki Minaj? Boy, imagine getting that past your parents. God, imagine spending the next 15, 20, 30 years of your life paying off that student loan. I know, yeah.

They're like, oh, what did you study? Nicki Minaj. Big pub, Nicki Minaj. And where do you work now? Nicki Minaj. Dang. So a new course focusing on Nicki Minaj is coming to the University of Berkeley.

And she said she wants to visit it. It's called Nicki Minaj, the Black Barbie Femcee and Hip Hop Feminisms. Feminisms? Is that a typo? Nope. It's real. So she said, yeah, she wants to stop by and visit it. So I've got the top six things you'll learn in the Kimonage course.

Great. Number six on the list, that her birthday, December 8th, is also National Brownie Day. So obviously that's the only acceptable type of cake. Yeah. Of course. A brownie with some candles popped in it. Lovely. Maybe ice the brownie.

That's an extravagant brownie. I find it ridiculous when people ice a brownie. A brownie should be moist enough to not require icing. Yeah. It should be moist throughout. With chunks of chocolate. It's a bit like when we talked about the lolly cake with icing. It doesn't need it.

Oh, that's right. Absurd. But it can have it if it wants. Well, it can, yeah. It can. It's a free world, isn't it? We're not going to tell a brownie or a lolly cake that they don't deserve icing. No.

No. Number five on the list of the top six things you'll learn at the Nicki Minaj course, how to get some of the most sexually charged songs you'll ever hear in your life on Top 40 Radio. I know, it is wild when you actually stop and listen to the lyrics. You've been learning them, haven't you? That latest one has a couple of, well, no, they, I think they were like playing a playlist. And of course it was unedited on this playlist.

Wow. Goodness me. Explicit. Explicit doesn't even cover it. It's, all I'm saying is next time that new Nicki Minaj song's on, just have a listen. Yeah. Because it's something. Early 2000s's on, just have a listen. Yeah. Because it's something.

Early 2000s Eminem would be like a reprieve. Yes, it would be. You know? It really would be. Number four on the list of the top six things you'll learn at the Nicki Minaj course, you'll study her extensive voiceover work in the films Ice Age, Continental Drift, and the Angry Birds movie, Too, of which she played crucial roles in both. Yeah, of course, yeah.

Number three on the list of the top six things you'll learn at the Nicki Minaj course, how to get to the beach, beach, let's go get a wave. So there's a directional and surfing lesson to be had there. Fantastic. Yeah, much to learn in the summer months of the course. Number two on the list of the top six things you'll learn at the Nicki Minaj course,

how many alter egos she has? The answer is five. There's Cookie, the Harajuku Barbie. Yeah. Nicki Teresa, which is a take on herself. Rosa, who's a healer for her people. Her evil twin brother that lives inside her, Roman Zelansky, named after Roman Polanski.

Roman Zelansky, who's the angry voice when she sings, when she changes it. And number five, Martha Polanski, that's Roman Zelansky's mother, which she said is her twin that lives inside her. So technically that would be her mother. Yes. Weird. Okay. Yeah. Strange family dynamic in there.

There's a whole lot happening. But you'll be able to work it out on the Nicki Minaj course. And number one on the list of the top six things you'll learn at the Nicki Minaj course, you'll learn the true story behind her cousin's friend in Trinidad that suffered swollen testicles and became impotent as a result of the COVID vaccine. That's right. The Trinidad Health Department has since completely proven the guy doesn't even exist.

Wow. Wild. That was wild. That was a wild time. That was a wild one. She ended up getting vaccinated though because she wanted to be able to tour. That's right. So there you go. Of course. That is today's top six. So if you've had an Apple Watch or even just a smart watch, a lot of them have got fall detect in them,

kind of like a St. John's Media Alert bracelet. Yeah. Great for old people in your life. Yeah, if you fall it or bang it, it'll say, hey, it looks like you've taken a fall. Have you? And if you don't press, no, I'm fine, it'll call the authorities. Now, the Apple Watch did that if you had your phone by you or if it was connected to Wi-Fi.

But the new iPhone 14 has crash detection in the actual phone. Which is for, like, car accidents, right? Car accidents. Like, I think even a few weeks ago there was a story about someone that went off a cliff or a road. Yeah, that's right. And they were rescued. It calls law enforcement and will play an audio message that alerts authorities to the fact you've been in a crash

and also provides them with your location, which is pretty cool. Yeah. Apparently this happens because of a gyroscopic sensor and a high G accelerometer. Limit. Because when you have like Waze or Google Maps open, This happens because of a gyroscopic sensor and a high G accelerometer. Because when you have like Waze or Google Maps open, it can tell you your speed, right? Yes.

Your car speed. Yeah, that's enough. SatNav. Yeah, if you know, oh yeah, so that's not a gyroscope thing. No, no, that's not a gyroscope thing. This is crazy, but my car has a built-in thing. What? It tells me my speed.

What? Yeah. But how does it tell you? It's called a speedometer. Okay. I don't know why. This is the next thing you'll be telling me. It's got that latest needle point technology. Dude, that's what I'm talking about.

Is it pointing a needle? That's what I've got. My dude. That's why I got the Mazda Axela 2015. That's why I got it. That's very bougie. Yeah. Well, the problem with it on the iPhone is that people are taking their phones on roller coasters

and the sharp turns, the quick stops, the upside downs is making their iPhone think they've been in a crash. That's so dangerous because they can fly out and absolutely whack someone. You're always told not to take your stuff on them. And normally when they come in, they come in really fast and they're like, stop. Or just to take off. Yeah. Away you go. But yeah, so apparently when it was released, the 911 dispatch centre near Kings Island in the States,

the amusement park has been sending out heaps of locations. The owner of this iPhone has been in a severe car accident. Oh, wow. But they were just on a roller coaster. It is. You know when you go on one of these rides at the theme park and they have the little cubby holes? They're like, all right, leave all your stuff.

Yeah, I don't want some snake nicking my stuff. I know, that's the thing. It's like you can just tuck your phone and it won't fall out. Yeah, if you've got a zip pocket. Yeah, exactly. I guess now they're going tuck your phone and it won't fall out. Yeah, if you've got a zip pocket. Yeah, exactly. But I guess now they're going to have to change the rules on that then. More so. Because what did you do the other day, Vorni,

and you were maybe just moved your arms. And I was like, yeah, it looks like you've had a fall. It looks like you've had a fall. I sledgehammered something recently and like bashing with a sledgehammer with my watch was like, oh, it looks like you've had a terrible fall. I was like, no, I'm okay. I'm all right. And I think, was it pool starting a lawnmower the other day?

Boom, just that quick pull. And it was like, wow, slow down, granddad. It looks like you've fallen over the rock. I said, no, I haven't fallen over the rock. But it goes, brr, brr, brr, and it like vibrates. And it's like, I'm going to call the emergency services unless you press no. You know you can turn that off

because you're not like 80 I am likely to have a fall he is likely sometimes I just want the attention you know yeah when you fall I'll be like yeah

when you're right on lawnmower falls on you yeah and you're like have you had a fall you're like yes and then you'll be able to say see I told you

but then my granddad would have been the sort of person that if he'd had one of these he would have fallen he'd be like I've fallen yes and I've broken both my legs,

but there's no bloody way I need any help. I'll just cut them off. Yeah, I'd drag myself home. Silly little pole, silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole. Today's silly little, little pole. Ugg boots in public. Yeah, nah.

I don't own any. I don't own any either. Never have. No, I don't own any. I don't own any either. Never have. No, I don't own any. I've tried some on and my feet got very sweaty, very quick. Very. It must be running cold tootsies. Bad circulation.

I like a woolly slipper but with the back open for ventilation. Oh, yeah, like a slide-on slip. A slide. A grandpa. A thick pair of socks. If I'm just running around the house. What about those knitted ones, you know, with the little hole at the end? Remember those knitted ones nannas used to make?

Yes, booted, like an adult booty. I feel like if I had wood floors, I'd have slippers or Uggs, but I don't. So I'm always just like, oh, there's no point wearing slippers. You're going toesies. Yeah, especially in an apartment. I feel like if you had an outdoor like area you'd get some slippers. Oh but then you just

fix sock and a croc. Oh you've changed. I'm a sock and a stock not a croc. Oh no go sock and a croc. Nah. A Birkin stock and a sock. A Birkin stock and a sock.

Birkin stock and a sock but like you said they get wet and the leather goes a bit funny but crocs. That rubber rain going going nowhere, baby. I shan't be convinced on a Croc. Now, this was big back in the day, though, wasn't it?

Paris Hilton loved an Ugg boot in public. There was real early 2000s vibes. Yeah. Apparently they're back, Ugg boots in public. We have 27% saying yeah. So the majority, 73% say nah, not okay. Is that because most of them aren't actually nice Ugg boots, brand new, they're rip-off, $10 ones.

Leany sole. They've got a leany sole. Leany sole, awfully bad for your feet. They're stained because you were frying something in the kitchen and got a bit of fat splatter on them. And they absolutely reek, those like fake polyester ones. Morgan says, only after dark for a supermarket run or a doctor's visit. A doctor's visit?

You go to the doctor after dark. Because you're sick and you're like... Yeah, maybe. And your Uggs. No, no, no. And your PJs. I think after dark for a supermarket visit, full stop, or a doctor's visit.

Like, you're not after dark for a doctor's visit. Oh no, I didn't imagine, I imagine that was two things. Well,

a doctor's visit seems absurd. You never just go to the doctor because then you go to the pharmacy and you might pop by the supermarket. Oh no,

no, no, if you go to the doctor and the pharmacy, it's just, absolutely, if that's the primary purpose of living in the house

because you want to look a bit sick for the doctor. You really want to ham it up. I shouldn't even put on my shoes. While I'm here, can I have some Panadols? Emma says, no. Uggs belong in your home. I personally feel like a slob if I wear them anywhere but my house.

Oh, slob wouldn't chuck around the S word anymore. Gemma says, may as well wear your PJs too, if you're going to wear that shite. People do, people do. Courtney says, yes, comfy, warm, mind your own business. The Nail Glade says, yes, in fact, wedding Uggs are the best outfit decision I made. Wedding Uggs.

I need more explanation. Oh my God, by the way, beautiful bride. But she's got like slide slippers. But also platform slide slippers. And then she would have worn her heels for the main bit in the photos. Yeah, yeah. I would have worn like a chuck or something.

But you wouldn't have seen them anyway because the dress would have covered those. She's got a big dress on. Oh wow, what a great idea. Great idea from you. Nailed Glade. Jasmine says, sad at how many people have said no. I wear mine in public all the time.

Well, maybe this is a wake-up call. Yeah. And Leanne says, no. Only because when people wear them, they immediately forget how to walk properly and sliff-slough drag me. Pick your feet up. Okay, mum. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn

and Hayley. I love weddings. I love weddings. I love attending weddings. I love dreaming about weddings. You're engaged. I've got to fill up three weddings in the planner. I know, and a gay one. Two gay ones. I just went to a gay one. Also, I don't...

We should just be calling them gay. I just classed them as weddings. They're just weddings. That happens to me. No, but... They're a little bit better. But this one will be my first gay wedding. Well, you know, I could have gone to that lesbian wedding that time

and my friend had it when I got into tennis. Well, you don't have a same-sex wedding. That's like Pokemon. You've got to catch them all. You do. I went, Vaughn, you should have. My friends, my homosexual friends, had a wedding, and they themed it camp.

So everyone had to come looking incredible. And it was a drama school wedding. So you would have just been over. Oh, no. There was singing. There was haka. There was dancing down the aisles. There was glitter curtains.

No, that sounds ridiculous. There was dancing down the aisles. There was glitter curtains. No, that sounds ridiculous. No, it was incredible. Just calm down, drama students. God, we love to waiata at a wedding. I tell you what, we love a waiata. They won't admit it, but it's very competitive. It is, yeah. Oh yeah. It is. Very competitive. And you're engaged

yourself. You've got your own wedding in the future at some stage. At some stage. We keep talking about it like it might be next year. Yeah. Maybe it will be. Yeah. You know, that's why the three of us are all shredding. Shredding for Hayley's wedding.

If it happens. Yeah. But a wedding planner has predicted the nine wedding trends that'll be taking over 2023. What, she couldn't think of another one? She couldn't make a 10? Jeepers, feels lazy. Okay, here. I'll add the 10th.

You go through and then while it's happening, I'll think of it. Okay. Candid, natural-looking photos. So no posy mum and dad and bride and groom, mum and dad and mother and bride and groom you know those things those are my favourite photos

from our wedding of the people that went is that when the photographer was just moving through the crowd taking photos of people just having a chat I feel you've still

got to have those staged ones as a backup you have to for family and all that kind of stuff mark the day but I remember when I've been

in bridesmaids parties before the whole time you were being like candid candid and they're not and you give us ha, candid, candid, candid. Yeah, yeah, and they're not. And you give us a laugh, ha ha ha, candid, to get these candid photos.

They're not candid. Mismatched bridesmaids' dresses will go a step further because now, you know, the idea of everyone wearing exactly the same thing has maybe gone out the window a little bit. Now they're thinking a lot more freedom, like totally different colours, totally different styles, patterns,

whatever works for that person. Yeah, right. It's absurd to think that like one dress will be amazing on all body types. I've been the big bridesmaid before, you know. I mean big as in like there were like very petite women and a petite bride and then very tall Hayley. And the dress did not work for me. I've got too much body, you know. were like very petite women and a petite bride and then very tall Hayley. Yeah. And the dress did not work for me.

Yeah. I've got too much body. Yeah. You know? So had I been able to choose, I would have chosen different. Slits in the dress are coming back. Oh. Really high slits.

Get a little leg out. Used to be all about the buzz, but now it's about the leg. The leg. The leg slit. Going to need a shave the buzz, but now it's about the leg. The leg. The leg slit. What about a same-sex guy wedding? So that slits up the pants? Big slits up the pants. Yeah, you could have slits right up and they'd flap like capes, like leg capes.

Those, you know, those tracksuits that you pull? Or tear-aways. Oh, don't tear-aways. No, I don't think that's quite what they had in mind. And then you can hit the dance floor later and just tear them off. I would be truly so angry if Aaron wore tear-aways to our wedding. Destination weddings on the rise because we can travel. So any excuse to get overseas.

But also, the problem you have, too many friends. I've got too many friends. We're going to talk soon on the show about somebody's worked out the ideal amount of friends you can have. But this is your problem. You've got to pay friends. We're going to talk soon on the show about somebody's worked out the ideal amount of friends you can have. But this is your problem. You've got to pay for everyone at your wedding. I've got too many friends and Aaron's got too much family. So we've got to run away. No one's invited.

Makes sense. Just to reiterate to the girls in the booth as well, no one's invited. Apart from the close. Carry on. Carry on. Colourful, whimsical weddings are back. So not about the black and the white or the white and one colour or the blushes. Orange.

Green. Blue. Because you know I've got those blue and maroon suits from Helen Stein's on that deal I got. $100. $199 for a shirt. Yeah. You've been sitting on that purple shirt for a long time. You will never beat that deal, by the way.

No, no, you won't. Seriously, no, you won't beat that deal. Seriously, you're never going to beat that deal. Colourful weddings are coming back. Oh, God, my kiwi fruit reeks of red onion. Will you stop putting your red onion next to your kiwi fruit in the fridge? I'll just biff it in the drawer. Yeah, no. Disposable cameras are making a comeback.

So disposable cameras on there. No, no. Who's developing them? Yeah, waste of time and money. Yeah. Just take digital. I don't even know what number I'm up to. Curated wedding wardrobes will continue to be popular. So, you know, everyone gets a dressing gown.

Everyone gets a pair of a nightie. Again, having been the big bridesmaid before, and they get those little... You get a nightie? Yeah, you get little, like, robes to get ready and stuff and they got them for petite girls You were like I'll just wear my t-shirt and my shorts

tying it around the waist And it was buzz out, but also it was way too short, I was like half cheek getting ready, I mean the photos are inappropriate, you were to see the light of day bachelorette parties

continuing to have distinct themes but the photo here looks a little bit I want to say American Indian so I'm going to move on from that

so these are the big wedding trends of 2023 you had nine what number is this now this is number nine okay have you got ten

to make it even you've got? This is number nine. Okay. Have you got 10 to make it even? Yeah, I've got one. You've got one ready? So number nine is that more brides will be sharing their weddings on TikTok. So that's not really a trend. That's just like after all of your designing's happened, you want to share it to the talk for aesthetic. And number 10 on the list of wedding trends for 2023.

I've got three. Oh, we've already had nine. It's the top 12 wedding trends for 2023. I've got three. Oh. All right. So we're making it 12. We've already had nine. It's the top 12. Bigger cakes. Yeah.

Is this what I want? This is what you want. This is what I want. Okay. Your predictions. Bigger cakes. Yep. Bottomless bar tabs.

Yep. Like open bar. Good. Don't cash bar me from 10 or I'm leaving. Oh no. Like have some respect for your big day, please. And, and, and top shelf. Oh, okay.

Top shelf options. So he's booze. Wow. Top shelf. You don't just want fizzy wine? No, I don't want fizzy wine. I want whiskey. Like, at a certain time of the night, I think it should...

Then bring your own bottle. I'll do it. Yeah, B-Y-O top shelf. Just B-Y-O top shelf. That's a great idea. I'll do it. All right. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.

Ho, ho, ho. Ooh, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Ho, ho, ho. Well, today the Christmas countdown, 74 days, 16 hours and 41 minutes and 11 seconds until Christmas. Fun. 74 days. 74 days. 74 days. Today, the 11th of October, the year is flying.

But then, Jarrah, I just said that before, and producer Jarrah said, no, this year's going so painfully slow. That's the first time I've heard anybody say it. Nah. It's hooning. I feel like at this, does it ever feel slow again? You know, I feel like... The older you get? The older you get, I feel like at this, does it ever feel slow again? You know, I feel like...

The older you get? The older you get, I feel like it just... Because every year becomes a smaller percentage of your life lived. Oh my God, that's depressing. You know when you're a kid and you're like seven and a year at school feels like a seventh of your life because it is, but then when you're 40, a year passes and it's a 40th of your life. That's just maths.

Oh my God, that is just maths. So it feels less because it's less of what you've lived. Oh god. Oh my god. I'm going to be in a Ryman home soon. The rate this is going. What's this life for?

Who sung that song? Creed. What's this life for? They were asking the big questions in 2000. Why are they so philosophical? Let's peep it up because we're talking about Christmas. Christmas is a joyful time. 74 days away and old Wilson's popped into the inbox again.

This guy can't be stopped. He loves this time of the year. He's a Christmas correspondent, isn't he, from Wellington? And he puts only the top half of his face over the fence to talk to Tim Allen, who lives next door. 90s TV reference. I just thought I'd drop him a hot reference. He could actually be named after Wilson from Home Improvement.

He could actually be named after him. It's either that, Wilson, or... Wilson! The ball. Oh, the ball, yes. Yeah. The ball brand. Well, Wilson reports that Christmas-themed pet outfits

are now on display for sale at Kmart. You can get the ones where you put the Santa on a saddle around your dog, so it looks like Santa's riding your dog. Are there cat ones? They look like Santa, yes. Yes, there's cat costumes. There's jingly reindeer ears for your dog. There's a roast turkey for your dog. There's a roast turkey for your dog.

Murray does not like when I dress him up, but I feel like I must. Oh, my God. Rolly would flip. Oh, you simply must. Pillows also. Seasonal pillows, says Wilson. Tis the season, says the pillows, as well as Christmas-themed candles. Oh, okay. What an overachiever getting so much in

for Christmas. We appreciate it, Wilson. Thank you. Always. Will has messaged in, long time friend of the show, lived in Queensland for many years,

back in the UK now. Christmas penetration from Dunhelm, the homeware store here in England. Multiple aisles, not just one, multiple aisles of Christmas stuff piled up already.

Wow. And this came in just before September ended. He said, au revoir, and this will definitely add to international Christmas penetration. It will. Sydney would like to report the net bags of the tiny chocolate Santas. You know, the red mesh bags and it's got all the little Santas in it. Did you ever, when you were a kid,

you know the mandarins come in those as well. Did you ever put those on your face? Yes. Pretend you were rubbing a bank. Yeah. And then all your face would go into squares and be all mushed and stuff. Pull it really tight and then take it off

and say to your parents, what's happening to me? Ever do that? Ever bite yourself and be like, what happened? Oh my God. Middle child syndrome.

I remember once I had an itchy bite or something and I bit it and then it bruised and I was like, this is perfect. What's happening to me?

Mum was like, it looks like someone's bitten you. I was like, who could have done such a thing? Wow. Harley would like to report the infestation of advent calendars. Now, advent calendars have been around for a little while, but they said this is the first I've seen,

and the range has certainly expanded. It looks like they've got into the 2022 Christmas calendars rather than the Advent calendars, rather than just the leftover 2021 Advent calendars. Sarah said, I don't know what the hell is going on here, but I spotted a Christmas card at the warehouse, a range of Christmas cards, but also Father's Day cards, one of which is past and one of which seems too far away

to be already purchasing cards for. That was a while ago, wasn't it? Yeah, it was at the start of September. Bryce said this cannot be happening, and it turns out our good friend St. Nicholas, Christopher Klaus, made an appearance on the AM show. Hey? It's too early for a TV appearance by the big man.

Oh, yeah. It's too early for a TV appearance by the big man. Oh yeah. And finally marked it in. Hannah said, I'm reporting Christmas penetration as yesterday the cashier at Farmer's said Merry Christmas to me. No! Get out! As a goodbye when she

handed me the receipt. She said Merry Christmas and I looked at her like Spit on it. She handed me the receipt. She said, Merry Christmas. And I looked at her like. Spit on it. Don't you be sending off some cats at home. Well, with all that in mind and 74 days away from Christmas... Donner and Blitzen start stretching those legs. Christmas penetration is at... 60%.

Ooh. Ooh. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas. And if you see any reports of Christmas creeping in, send it to us, FVHZM, on our socials. Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Christmas creeping in, send it to us FBHZM on our socials. Did we mention this recently that we said you can only really know

150 people? Like know them? I've not, I think that's been a thing for a while. They call it Dunbar's number. Yeah, it's been scientifically worked out. To do with the size of this part of your brain at the back and

animals that travel in smaller packs have smaller parts and animals that, we've got a big one because that's why they said villages should have been 150 people and then when it got to that, some people shifted out and moved on. Right, and start a new suburb. Yeah. Or a new village.

So a professor, an anthropologist professor They study ants. No, they study society. Humans and society. Philanthropy is business. That's where you give away all your money.

Anthropology is humans. So he's been trying to work out the ideal number of friends that you actually need. So you know 150, but not all of them are your friends. People you'd be like, oh yeah, I know that person. Well, it's like people on Facebook or Instagram that have like 5,000 friends.

Oh my God, I need to get mine down. How do you know all these people? How many friends do I have? 949. No, I don't. Too many. No, I don't. It's a thousand do you know all these people? What am I, how many friends do I have? 949. No, I don't. Too many. No, I don't. It's a thousand people.

Are you kidding me? Yeah. Delete all the people you went to school with that you haven't spoken to since you were 18. If you're seeing this, you made the cut. I was thinking of getting into multi-level marketing and I need all those old school contacts. Are you an Arbonne? Because I was going to say your skin's been looking good and your smoothies have been

quite thick. I'm fizzy. I'm fizz sticks. It's the fizz sticks, babes. So he says an optimal number of people you need. He says your closest friends

on one hand. Like your closest closest friends. Your best friends. And then an optimal number is 15 for good friends. People you see one-on-one regularly. 50 friends, kind of people you'd see in a group. Maybe you'd say hi, you know, maybe see them, if you saw them at the pub and you'd join them and have a drink.

And then 150 contacts, so people that you know. That would be about right, wouldn't it, for most people? So say like five friends, no, five besties, 15 close friends, 50 mates, and 150 contacts. You still have 15 for me. You still have 15. I think you would have stopped at five. Five, yeah.

People that you want to see. Yeah. People you want to see. But then I say, I don't like any more than 10 people. And then I see people and they're like, am I in the 10? And I have to look them in the eye and be like, no. Jesus. You're not even in the 50.

Yeah. Who are you? I know. I'm a sort of, I'm a collector of friends. I've said this before. Because I had a best, I've had a best friend since I was like four years old and we're still besties. So I've just sort of, I don't know, maybe it's sort of set up a bar for me

in terms of getting and keeping friendships. Because I do. Once I make friends with someone, it's for life, guys. Oh, God. Like luggage. Like luggage, I carry it around. What do you mean, like for life? Luggage for life.

No, are you kidding me? My last suitcase, the wheel fell off after one trip. Why would you buy trash luggage? You're supposed to buy luggage for life. I do not buy trash. No. Well, take it back then. They don't make luggage for life anymore.

No. No, they don't cover it. It's all plastic and it snaps and stuff. They don't cover the wheels coming off. The wheels are so cheap these days. Why don't they make better wheels? They should make better wheels. You drag them across the cobblestones of Edinburgh,

they're going to break. Yeah. Take it back to Luggage R Us or whatever that shop's called and they don't want to know you. I'm literally going to take a step right now in minimising my friends group. What are you going to do? Marie?

No, I'm kidding. I love you, Marie. Marie. You can't. I can't. You haven't I'm kidding. I love you, Marie. Marie. You can't. You can't. I can't. You haven't made the cut. I'm trying to look at photos.

I'm just, I'm literally going to go, here's, okay, I'm going to go on my Facebook and I'm going to delete one person because I think it'll make me feel good. Hometown. We'll go there because that means where I grew up, right? What do you mean? Can you search by hometown? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or who are you going to get rid of?

It's hard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or who are you going to get rid of? It's hard. It's terrible as well. You see a name and you're like, I don't even recognise that name. You leave them on the friend list but you just unfollow them. No, but having 949 friends makes me feel sick. No, the key is, and I've always said this, I've said this for years, you

unfollow people on their birthday because they don't notice. That's such a great birthday present. They don't notice because they're basking in the joy of their birthday and all the like that they're getting on Facebook. Unfriend. I've unfriended someone. Who did you unfriend? An ex of a good friend

of mine. Oh, no. Yeah. Should have been gone long ago. You should have been gone long ago. There you go. Well, if you're still seeing this, you made the cat. You made the cat. You made the cat. Play. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Man, every now and then I read something and I'm like,

God, I live a very plain life, don't I? But it's good. I like it plain. You know? He's a bread and butter man. You can't beat a bit of white life, you know, with a tomato on it. And a bagged chook. Oh!

He loves a bagged chook. I've got a bagged chook waiting for me at home today. I've got a bagged chook in the fridge. I've got a bagged chook. Yeah, we had a bagged chook for dinner last night. I love a bagged chook. What's left on the bagged chook? Not that much. Nah, enough for maybe a wrap or a sandwich. Enough for a wrap orook in the fridge. I got a bag chook. Yeah, we had a bag chook. I love a bag chook. What's left on the bag chook? Not that much.

Nah, enough for maybe a wrap or a sandwich. Enough for a wrap or a sandwich. Yeah. Okay, when you get a bag chook, what's the first part you hit? Breast. You tried. I tried. The wing.

The wing. The wing. The wing. No, the leg. I just grabbed the back half. Wing or the leg, whatever. Either. I had a fire.

You grab the drum and it's got that little bit of string around it and you just... Well, we're not talking about bagged chooks. God, now I wish we were talking about a bagged chook. Should we get a bagged chook? Can someone bring us a bagged chook? No, stink the studio out of us. This story comes to us from the United States of America.

This isn't anything but a bagged chook. It's about a thruple. So that, for the definition, is that's when three people are together in a relationship. In a relationship. This one is between three gentlemen, Scott, Marcus, and Robert. Okay.

Now, Scott and Robert are married, and they live in an apartment, a rent-controlled apartment. That means while the same people are on the lease, the rent can't go up. Okay, yeah. So unfortunately, one of them passes away. Oh no. Scott passes away. Scott? And

Scott's husband Robert and the boyfriend Marcus are like, well Marcus, do you want to take over the rent? Yeah. And he's like, yes, I will. And then the landlord's like, well, no,

because I had a married couple in here. You weren't part of it. Right. And he's like, well, actually, we were a thruple. And it's been ruled by a judge that a thruple should be recognised. All right. And so he gets to keep the rent control. So how long were they a thruple for before old what's-his-face died?

Scott. Excuse me. Speak that way of the dead. Oh, my God. Have some respect. Of the dead. They'd been together for a few years. Okay.

Oh, yeah, that's serious. How does anyone do a thruple, eh? Like, one is hard enough. Yeah. So, because there's questions in the bedroom, right? And those are like, hmm, how does that all work? But actually the dynamic of a successful relationship. I think the bedroom's the easiest part. More straightforward.

The tick, yeah. Use your imagination. It's everything else. It's everything else. How do you pay the bills? Yeah. Who gets cuddles? Oh, yeah? Yeah. Who gets cuddles? Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Who gets foot rubs? When you're on a chaise lounge, who's on the chaise? Who's on the chaise and who's on the lounge? Who's on the lounge? And when there's three of you, someone's got to be on the armchair, I guess. And, like, someone's got to be getting less attention. I'll do lawns.

Yeah, you do the lawns. I'll do lawns. Okay, if we're on a thruple, what are we bringing? I'll do lawns. You'll do the lawns. Well, Warren's doing all the handyman chores because he's a big bear daddy. Yeah. What are you bringing to the thruple?

I don't know. I can do some vacuuming. Oh, for God's sake. I'll cook. We don't need him. We don't need... He's not adding anything. You're out of our thruple.

You do need me. You're not bringing much to the thruple. Yeah. What are you bringing to the thruple? You need me. Yeah, you need me. So is this our impossible phone-er? You'd always be like, you're not bringing as much.

Because this is the thing, there'd be always... It wouldn't be even. There'd always be someone missing out or not getting enough attention. Because a relationship's always give and take. It's two things. Or like 50-50. Yeah. Not 33.333. Repeating forever. Occurring. It's two things. Or like 50-50. Yeah. Not 33.333.

Repeating forever. Occurring. It's like living in a flat. There's always someone that'll drag their heels. Look, I'll say it would be easier with four than three. Yeah, because you can couple up. It would be. It's even.

It's even. It would be. You can couple up. Switch up. Change out. Just to be clear, we're not against the idea of it at all. Not absolutely. It's the admin of it.

It's more that we're curious about the admin and how it actually all works. And because we're curious about this, our impossible phoner today is, have you ever been in a thruple or are you in a thruple? And tell us how it works. And tell us about it because was it easy or was it hard? Was there like two mains and a side dish? Because normally you hear it like this story. There's an existing couple who have been together for ages. Bring there a main, like two mains and a side dish? Because normally you hear it like this story. There's an existing couple who have been together for ages.

Bring in a third. And they bring in a third to spice things up. But then would that person always feel like the outer? Yeah, exactly. So. What's the hierarchy? The impossible phone. And maybe we're plain old Vaughan Smith White, you know, basic New Zealand.

Chicken in a bag, man. Chicken in a bag. We don't do shruples. Hey, know, basic New Zealand. Chicken in a bag, man. Chicken in a bag. We don't do throuples. Hey, every now and then for the chicken in the bag, I'll get one with a sage and herb stuffing. Oh, boy. Oh, you live a little. Oh, wow.

And I eat the stuffing like this. It's never good stuffing, a supermarket choc. It's always a bit rubbish. It's a bit runny. I'll wait. 100 dials an Amazon number. It's the impossible phone. Is there anybody listening who's been in a thruple or is in one?

Not a threesome. No. A thruple. A relationship triple. Yes. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, the impossible phone-in topic, it's a topic we put to the nation we think is so hard that we won't get any calls for it.

Or perhaps that people are too shy to share. I think this one especially. We wanted to know today if there are any people in throuples. Yeah. That's when you're in a relationship but there's three of you. Not just a bedroom thing but a life thing. A life thing. Now, I don't think we can say that this is a failure bedroom thing, but a life thing. A life thing. Now, I don't think we can say that this is a failure.

No, it's a success because we call it the impossible phoner. And when it's impossible, it's a success. So we win either way. If people call, we get to hear the stories. But I don't think it's a success then because people are texting in. They're just too shy. New Zealand's too small to get on the radio and say, I'm in a thruple.

Because people that... What if Nana's listening? Nana could find out. Mum could find out. Somebody said, my wife and I are in a polyamorous... Polyamorous? Polyamorous. Polyamorous.

And are a part of a thruple. Can you be both? Yeah. What is polyamory? Yeah, which is like You can have emotional feelings Towards more than one person Okay We've been dating a beautiful

Young woman for the last few months We're even looking at all Moving in together We reached out to them And they said I can't chat I'm currently at work Otherwise I'd love to

If you'd done this Topic tomorrow You could probably have Even spoken to all three of us Oh Okay A Q&A. For the thruffle. I'm curious. Over the back with the Q&A.

Because my big thing is like, who gets all the attention? Yeah, I know. And what does an argument look like? Oh, yeah. I mean, couples argue. You need a moderator. Well, maybe one takes the moderator position. No, but they're allowed to be angry too. But also, good that there's three because if two people decide that's a majority.

Yeah, see I just... And then the minority's got a role with it. I'd work on the other person and then have an alliance. But you'd feel like they were ganging up on you. Yeah, okay, throuples aren't going to work if you're playing it like Survivor. You're true. Alliance! Somebody said, my flatmate was in a throuple and he went into a long existing relationship of 20 plus years.

They shared a bed and held hands as a three when they went out. But see, I don't understand why that existing couple just didn't have passcards. No, because it's about more. They've got room in their heart for a more human connection. Get a dog, you know. Get a dog. Get a cat. Get a dog. Those things, man. dog. Get a cat. Get a dog.

Those things, man. Those things can be expensive. Get a dog. Then you get like its funny little outfits and then you get a funny little bed and then you're sending it to daycare. That costs a fortune. If you've got room in your heart, get a dog. But a lot of people texting in the R and the throuples though.

Yeah. Somebody else said that we, oh, where was it here? We added an additional girl. Major issue is always jealousy. So I ensured that the female in the relationship

chooses the extra one. Okay, right. We knew a guy that that happened to and then he got left out, didn't he? He did get left out the bills are split

etc as you do in any relationship as is the housework but there are legal issues to contend with especially with New Zealand common wife relationship laws so get them written up

if it's about two years yeah well that's what this news story came from the US where a judge said that throuples have the same legal status as a couple and then a lot of messages have the same legal status as a couple.

And then a lot of messages about the best way to eat a hot chocolate in a bag from the supermarket. Just as a side topic. Just with your hands. Oh, you don't know what part do you prefer on a handbag. Oh, you've got to go for the breast before it dries out. Because once you put it in the fridge, that thing is powder. Yeah. So you've got to have the breast while it's hot.

How are you feeling today? Is it sunken? Yeah, kind of I think Not really I think it's just crazy Yesterday felt like real very surreal

and yeah we still can't actually quite believe that this is crazy. Yesterday felt like real, very surreal and yeah, we still can't actually quite believe that this is happening and... Did you have time yesterday to sort of even think about what you want to do with it? Because I know we talked to you, we started off your day, you won $100,000, a great way to start the day

but we do know that you went to a tangi yesterday, so some highs and lows I'm sure. But did you find a moment with you and your husband, your lovely husband, Carl, to just process? We did, and he's definitely going to keep me super responsible. He's like, no, no, no fun spending until we've paid all the things that need to be paid. Oh, my God, buy yourself a pair of shoes, Irene.

I get some fun money, so can I go to Friday Jams? Can I do this? Oh, my God, come to a pair of shoes, Irene. I get some fun money. Can I go to Friday Jams? Can I do this? Oh my God, come to Friday Jams. Yeah, he was like, yes, you can do all that, but we have to do all this stuff first. And I'm like, okay. So we did talk about it, but I think having two under fives,

they're very humbling. Like right now, my mother-in-law is negotiating with the four-year-old about what dinosaur t-shirt he wants. So, you know, they keep me really grounded. So, wait, he knows that there's money incoming and he wants a dinosaur t-shirt? Yeah. Did you tell them? No.

Negotiation over, like, this morning's t-shirt. This is just negotiating with getting your children dressed every morning. Oh, my God. The kid doesn't know there's money. He just knows that he wants a dinosaur t-shirt. They're terrible, aren't they? He doesn't know which morning. Oh, my God. The kid doesn't know there's lollies. He just knows that he wants a dinosaur T-shirt. They're terrible, aren't they? He doesn't know which one. Oh, they are, they are.

But we love them. How did you tell the kids? I mean, they're very young. Could they understand? Well, I told my four-year-old as soon as it happened, pretty much, because he was going up to Gran straight away. And I was like, Pepe, we just won $100,000. And he goes, cool, I go, Grant, bye.

Yeah, because Grant's probably got lollies. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. What am I going to do with $100,000? I'm four years old, Mum. Exactly, yeah. But no, yeah, it's completely, I guess, offered us so many opportunities that we didn't have 48 hours ago.

And, yeah, for us as a family, it opened doors and meant financial freedom. So, yeah, cool. Wow, we're so happy for you, so excited. Has anybody slid into the messages asking for a handout? No, everybody's just really been pouring out all this beautiful support and, yeah, just sending love and congratulations and they're super happy for us

and especially, like, our bestie came over yesterday with a bottle of bubbly and an egg for the little kid and, you know, just really awesome people in our lives and we're super lucky to be able to, you know, to be surrounded by great people. Well done. You'll never eat eggs the same way again,

I reckon, Irene. I've got an egg and egg sandwich for lunch today. Yes. All right, Irene, well done. The winner of our

Season 12 Secret Sound. All thanks to Neon. $100,000 richer. Enjoy it. Thank you. Play. Zedding's Fletchford and Ailey. richer. Enjoy. Enjoy it. Thank you. We just talked to Irene who won the secret sound, but I was just thinking, I kind of miss Georgia.

You know, she's behind us, I know. I'm sort of looking at her longingly. Okay. We had her in like four times a day. Yeah, we had her in like four times a day. Yeah, we had her in a lot, didn't we? Well, she'll be on from 10 this morning.

Yeah, so this is the problem. We talked about you not being able to just like, you could friend collect her. Move, I know. I collected her. Yeah. And now I miss her. Anyway, speaking of friendship,

I think Fletch and I took our friendship to a new level yesterday. Very personally. Because I wasn't planning on doing this. Yesterday, we're on a journey to health. I don't know if you've noticed. I just had a kiwi fruit. I just had a kiwi fruit. I had nothing.

Vitamin C. Vorn's fasting. I'm fasting. Yeah, I don't know if you can hear the change in our voice, but we're so much healthier. I'm calorie counting, and it's like you squirrel away your calories. Yes. And you do a bit of exercise to make more calories. Are you doing the MyFitnessPal again?

Yeah, I'm on MyFitnessPal. I had a vodka soda last night. It's been a while, because usually we heard the whines. I literally said, I'm on a journey to health. That is a journey to health. Oh, you've got to have a little vent. You've got to have a little vent. You're a pressure cooker.

Oh, my God. It was a Monday night. Yeah. Oh, and she have a little vent. You're a pressure cooker. Oh, my God. It was a Monday night. Yeah. Oh, she said a vodka soda. Not a Monday night drink. One. Oh, my God. Or just drink it the weekend.

Thank you, Vaughn. Oh, get off your high horse. We can't drink if we've got to go down the coal mine tomorrow. Give me a break. How much is a vodka soda in MyFitnessPal? 90. Because it's just vodka. Yeah, right.

And water. Okay. And I put a bit of a cuke. I put a cuke and a lime. Oh, yeah, go. Okay. And a mint. To treat myself.

Okay. So you basically made a pals in a glass. I did make a pals in a glass. Okay, great. And it was great. It was great because usually I would have, I've got a bottle of champagne left over for my birthday and I was like, let's crack, no hailing, no.

Do you need a help? Do you need a help? Anyway, so yesterday my plan was I was just going to go to the gym and then go home and then my timing was all off. And then, Fletch, you said to me that you were doing a sprint class. Now, where Lee's Mills is, sprint is a HIIT, high-intensity interval training on the bike. On a bicycle, yeah.

So it's a normal cycle class, but half the time, double the intensity. Wow. And I haven't done this class since I lived in Wellington. 2017. It's going back a while. 2017. And then I thought, you know what? Journey to health.

Journey to health. So I booked in. Yeah. And then I realised when I got to the gym to do my workout that I didn't bring a sweat towel, I didn't bring a water bottle, and I bought the world's tiniest, tiniest underwear for me to the gym. God, I've gone home for less. I know.

No, no, water bottle. I was on a tight schedule. Vaughan's gone home because he couldn't find a car park. Yeah. I do that. I love it. Do a loop. No, no, what about it? I can't do it. I was on a tight schedule. Vaughan's gone home because he couldn't find a car park. Yeah. I love it. Do a lube. Ah, well. Ah, well.

It's not meant to be today. Yeah. Yeah. So then I signed up to do this class with you, and I was like, it'll be fine. And I text Fletch, and I said, do you have a spare sweat towel? And then I sort of thought maybe that was manky,

but you obliged. Yeah. Laundered. Freshly laundered. I brought of thought maybe that was manky. But you obliged. Yeah. Laundered. Freshly laundered. I brought in because I was at home. I brought in a spare towel for you. But I will need that back laundered. Are those the ones you steal

from the hotels when we stay at different hotels? It looked hotel-y. It's a hotel one. It's not from a hotel. It's not a microfiber. It's a farmer's. It's like a towel towel.

It's a farmer's hand towel. He likes when we're at a hotel and he sees the trolley coming with all the sheets and he'll just... Yeah. That is a lie. Yeah, no, it's not. I'm not giving it back then. It's not even yours in the first place. I'll admit that was a 2000s behaviour, but it's not a now behaviour.

It's 2022. Because you're a towel snob. Because I'm a towel snob, yeah. No, they're farmer's towels. What was the three count of the towel? Oh, it was dense. Yeah. It's 2022. Because you're a towel snob. Because I'm a towel snob, yeah. No, they're farmer's towels. What was the three count of the towel? It was dense. It's absorbent. I will say a little crispy.

Wow, I do run a crispy towel. I like a crispy towel because I like to exfoliate my back when I get out of the shower. So now I'm using your back exfoliant on my face. No, those are my bath towels. I love a crisp towel. All I could have said is five minutes in the dryer would have sorted it right out. Yeah, puffed it up. He hung it on an air horse,

didn't he? Yeah, I did. I left it there for a week. I mean, you're welcome for the towel. It's coming back to you crispy as well, because our dryer's not connected. Anyway, so we went into this class and I wasn't wearing the, I was also wearing the wrong bra

and I forgot, and women or people with boobs will know that spin classes are shockingly bouncy. Up and down. They're very up and down. And I didn't even think about it. Usually you think

you really got to wear the right bra for running. Everything else, you probably get away with. The first track, ba-doink, ba-doink, ba-doink. And I first track and i was like what song was the first track what's hot it's just yeah so i was like oh my god i've worn the wrong bra at one point i even had to

grasp them because because no one at one one on the Because I was like, this is starting to hurt. And then. This is disgusting. It's too much. But Fletch looked over. Sort of, Fletch looked over at me. Because the whole time he was encouraging me. Because I'm so unfit at the moment. And he looked over and I had my hands shoved down my pants.

Like having a real vintage. A rummage. A rummage. A rummage. A rummage. A rummage around. I have a rummage at the gym. I'll have a rummage, like a bit of a... But I went in.

I lifted open my tights and I went in. She's like this. She's like, hand out. Lucky dip. Like she's on the banks of a river trying to get a catfish out of a hole. Oh, she's noodling. She's noodling. She's noodling. I was noodling.

Because as I mentioned, I had brought just tiny undies. I just would have grabbed them. Because you've always got your gym, I call them my gym jeans. You wouldn't have to wear undies to the gym. I'm not. No, that's not me. No, you wear undies. I'm not going straight, that's not me. No, you wear undies. I'm not going straight meter tight.

Okay. It's me. But people notice. People were looking at you rummaging around. Rummaging, but I had to because you go up and down, off the bike, up and down, off the bike. And my undies were so tiny that it slipped. But my favourite bit was the girl next to me.

She noticed you rummaging around at the start of the class and then at the end of the class said, oh, hey, I listen to your podcast. To your podcast every day. Happy birthday for the weekend. And she saw you rummaging around in your boots.

Rummaging in my junk. So she'll be next time she's listening to the podcast, she'll just be, I don't know, when I listen to podcasts, I imagine what's happening. So she's imagining we're talking.

She's probably imagining me quite handsomely. Yeah. She's imagining Fletch is wearing. No, because she saw us handsomely. Yeah. She's imagining Fletch is wearing a... No, because she saw us at the end of this class. Yeah, Fletch is sweaty and wearing a scratchy towel. Yeah. And Hayley, she's just imagining she's got her hands down her pants,

just being like... Disgusting. Hey, but journey to health, you did the class. I feel great. I felt great afterwards. And I'll see you next Monday right play

ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley these guys are trying to get me in on the cycle pass now it'll be so fun no it won't be fun it won't be fun and then you're like

Any who. Were they hassling you because you'd been away for a while? Yeah, they harangued you. No, but that was because they thought I was dead because I'd been going such a lot, so much. And then before I went to Disneyland, I wanted to avoid all public appearances because I don't want COVID. Then when I came home from Disneyland, I had COVID.

And then I didn't feel like doing anything because I was so exhausted all the time from COVID. And then I got busy with bloody deck builds and garage builds and cow houses. And now I'm back into it. Right. I'm back, baby. Yeah.

I'm back. I'm dominating that stair machine.'m back, baby. Yeah. I'm back. I'm dominating that stair machine. I'm a stair machine guy. You do the stair machine? Ooh, the stair climber. Yeah, dude. I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack when I'm on that. Look at this.

Couple of ends of dog roll In there It popped off It popped off Yeah Anyway Good luck on your dumper journey Yeah thanks

I want to talk about The soft launch You know when With soft launches They do it in business Like soft launching a product To see like how it goes Before they do it like a big

Like you start Whenever there's a like Horror Like a supermarket Has got it on their website. We've busted them. And people online are like, we've outsmarted them. I always think they're doing that on purpose, right? Yeah. A little soft launch.

So you do all the hard work in the marketing. You get all excited about a product. But if you're launching something big like an opening or a website, you want just a few people to try it out so that if there are any bugs or problems, you don't find out on launch day. For sure. Yeah. Well, they're saying this is something you can give to your relationships.

Talking mostly about launching your relationship into the public eye. A soft launch. A soft launch. So there's a TikTok star called Victoria Parrish. Got 1.5 million followers. Okay. Never heard of her. But I'm sure, you know, a lot of people have.

1.5 million people. That was very Kiwi of you. I know. She's got a million and a half, but I've never heard of her. No, no. She's known to me. Anyway, she had a new girlfriend and she's often in the background of her videos and ever present but never fully there.

And then everyone's been going, what is this? Who's that person that you've clearly got a new girlfriend? And she was saying, we're doing a soft launch so that you can, like, grow your relationship first before you put it under the eye of the public. Rather than just going out and being like, this is my new boyfriend, this is my new girlfriend, this is my new partner, and we're in love. And then a week later being like, yeah, prick.

Yeah. And having to take it all back. So they don't want to keep them, it's not keeping your relationship secret. Soft launching them what about a soft relaunch you know when people break up yeah I love that

and then it's quite a public thing and then they get back together restart the counter always restart the counter I hate it when they don't you've got to restart the counter we've been together

for 12 years we had a year off in the middle so no you've been together for 4 you've been together for 4 and 6 4 and 7 or 5 and 6 You work it out

But then if you were going to break up with someone And it was going to be a big thing and then get back together You're going to soft relaunch aren't you? Soft relaunch And then probably you'll break up with them again and then you'll get back together again I'd do a soft relaunching relaunch Soft, double soft Now some people say that if you're being soft relaunched Say you're the girlfriend being soft relaunch. Yeah. Soft. Double soft. Now some people say that if you are being soft relaunched,

say you're the girlfriend being soft relaunched. Launched or relaunched? Sorry, soft launched. Soft launched. Then you could be offended because you're going, oh, you're not committed to me.

But that's not what it's about. No, it's... It's about protecting them. Yeah. And not opening up your relationship before it's too early. I mean, it's better than being with someone for six months

and not even making their feed or posts for anything. Yeah. Aaron's very rarely on my feed. Well, he doesn't like to be on it, does he? I know, I take a photo of him, he's like, oh, that's nice, don't put it on Instagram. Yeah. Is he in witness protection and you don't know it?

He's very tall. Very tall. I can't say. I can't say. I mean, you do talk about him on the radio every day, so if he is, I think that's... I'm sorry, I can't say. I can't say. I mean, you do talk about him on the radio every day, so if he is, I think that's... I'm sorry, I can't say. I can't say anymore.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about ratties. Rats. Rat tests or rat rodents? Rat rodents. Okay. Sad, eh?

Rats used to have, you know, rats were always about the rodents. They've had to absolutely share their identity. I know. It's hard, man. It's hard. It's a shame. Imagine if the test for COVID was called Haley's. Oh, yeah. Oh, you'd change your name, wouldn't you?

You'd have to. Can you do a Haley before? Hydro. Hydro. Antigen. Antigen. Y. Chromosome.

Yielding. Yielding. Yes. Long. Lipids. Lipids? Liquids. Lipids. Lipids. Liquids. Liquids.

Liquids. Yep. Extracting. Yachts. Ordinary. Yellow. Yeah, that'll do. Sure.

There you go. That's the acronym there for the Haley tests. No, it's about the power of the rat's bite. A rat's bite. A rat can bite with 7,000 pounds per square inch. Which means their teeth can easily slice down to the human bone and in the right conditions. Oh, why do you say that? Straight through it.

I hate rats, eh? They're so bleh. Rat? What do their teeth look like? People that have them as pets, I'm like, stop it. You've got to stop that. Stop it. They're not pets. Because they've got those long bottom teeth. like? People that have them as pets, I'm like, stop it. You've got to stop that. Stop it. They're not pets.

Because they've got those long bottom teeth. We're entering that season, the spring sort of summer season, where the rat population booms again. We had a rat on our lawn. Trapping. Did you? Did you see the trap? What's your cat doing?

No, he caught it. Oh, he caught it. And put it on the lawn. Oh, okay. As a prison. Which I think Good Boy. Yeah, as a prison. Good Boy didn't bring it inside.

Yeah. If you just saw a rat on your lawn, like in the middle of the day, that rat might not be well. Because they don't tend to, it's like seeing a possum during the day, you know? You see it and you're like, oh, what are you doing, mate? This isn't your time of the day. But it's daylight savings, so it's hard for all of us to. The rat runs across the lawn and stops and looks at its watch and it's like.

Oh, I haven't reset it. It's turning like savings. And then the cat's on them in that time. So you might be thinking, what's that comparable to? 7,000 pounds per square inch. Of pressure. Of pressure. Well, the Nile crocodile has a bite of 5,000 pounds per square inch.

So less. Oh, wow. Yeah. Less. However, a squirrel has teeth. Okay. Well, they're the same. Big teeth.

Yeah. They have to bite into nuts. They have to bite through nuts. Yeah. So that's why they need a whole lot of bite pressure. So the jaws of a rat are also built like an alligator's. Okay. They've got the same sort of function.

Yeah, I was just having a little look at rat teeth. As an alligator. And the rats are another one of these creatures that if they don't constantly chew on things, their teeth just continue to grow. Right.

That's why they need chewy things. That's why they have such a great time in my macadamia nut tree. Yeah. Up there. I'm going to set some traps.

I do have some traps. I'm going to reset them and hopefully this season we really manage to knock down some pest numbers. Do you harvest the macadamias? I thought you were going to say, do I harvest the rats? I've got some.

Here's the thing about macadamia nuts. When we moved in and there was two macadamia nuts, I'm like, how great. Macadamia, they're the biggest pain in the ass. Rats can chew through the husk and eat the nut out and then they just drop the shell. So that hits your lawnmower. Sounds like you need to chop them down.

No, but then you get the macadamia nuts and then you've got to dry them so the husk dries, cracks open. Then you've got the inner husk and the nuts still inside that. You've already lost me. Then you've got to crack that thing open and the nuts inside that. Yeah. And you've got to dry it out again. Yeah, waste of time.

It's a lot of drying. It's a lot of hard graft to get some macadamias. You know, next time your parents come back from Hawaii and they bring a tray of chocolate-covered macadamia nuts because they had a picture of Hawaii on the front or northern Queensland. Yeah. Appreciate the hard work they're going to do.

Also, do you know most of the Western world's macadamias come from one macadamia nut tree in Australia? Like, they literally... Really? Yeah, one tree. No, Really? One tree? One tree. No, rubbish. Are we getting a double fact of the day here? No, no, you're hearing it wrong.

You're hearing it wrong. You just said one single tree. No. One type of tree. No, no, no, one tree. One specific tree. There was this big tree and when the macadamia nuts fell

they took them home and put it in the ground and they grew from that tree. Well, that's not the tree's tree. All of the trees come from one tree. That's not the same thing at all. You say that's a descendant. It's like saying

every dog is the same dog. Oh, my God. That was misleading. That was grossly misleading. all dogs come from the same dog. Yeah, exactly. Which is true because at one stage

the wolf stopped being a wolf and became a dog. I feel like we're getting a double fact of the day and now I'm getting one and I'm disappointed. All of the macadamia nuts come from one macadamia nut tree, if you go back far enough.

Oh, my God. And the rats are personally misleading. We all come from Adam and Eve as well. Well, let's pump the brakes on that one. So today's fact of the day is a rat can bite with more pressure than a crocodile that lives in the Nile. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.

Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Where do I stand? Where do I stand on this? We need help. There is a debate online at the moment. A woman in Australia, she posted a listing to Facebook Marketplace. Okay.

It is a $26,000 Tiffany ring, diamond ring. When you said before engagement ring, I was like, okay, it'll be what? A few thousand. Yeah. 26,000. When I hear that people have spent like 5,000 on an engagement ring, I'm like, that's absurd. 26,000.

I mean, you know, celebrities spend like a million dollars, but they're so ugly. So is that on the marketplace listing? On the marketplace listing on Facebook. Does she want 26,000 for it? No. It's a picture of the ring. It's a classic, what do you call it, like a solitaire.

It's like a white gold with a big chunky diamond. Not huge. Because when you said solitaire ring, I assumed it was a stack of cards and you had to put them in. Keep flipping them over. Keep flipping them over. No, no, solitaire as in just one ring. And it says in the caption,

it says, selling this for obvious reasons. I did, now I don't. Like, I do, now I don't. Oh, wow. Compared to current Tiffany pricing of a one carat ring at 23,600 Australian, I'm letting go of this beauty at 18,500.

Condition is brand new, never worn. Oh, wow. So basically... So you could get a bargain. It's $18,500. Condition is brand new, never worn. Oh, wow. So basically. So you could get a bargain. It's $18,000 for a ring that looks like you can get it from a $2 shop. A bargain. It is cursed. It's cursed.

So this is the debate, right? People are saying, one, what should happen to an engagement ring when the engagement doesn't go through? Two, is it yours to sell? Is it yours to sell? Or is it 50% yours to sell? Or is it 0%? So if they'd been together

with like New Zealand laws for more than two years, then you would be entitled to what, half? Half of it. Yeah, whereas if it was an engagement after what, six months or a year,

do you have a leg to stand on? Because you gave that to that person. So some of the comments, legally you can't sell this and have to give it back if you didn't proceed with the marriage. I don't think that's true. I don't think that's true either. That sounds like some white guy who's done his own little course on law by watching a YouTube video.

Yeah, online course. Yeah. Another said if he paid for it, it's his and he should get all of the money. Yeah. But then if you're splitting anyway, yeah. Half of, it's all half anyway. Where does the law stand on gifts? Like possession is what, nine tenths of the law?

Gifts. I think it's gifts, yeah. Gifts are a weird one. Yeah, everyone's saying, and a few other people are saying like, absolutely. We don't know the circumstances of their split. Maybe she was scorned. But even if she was scorned and it was his fault, he cheated or whatever,

like $26,000 for an engagement ring. I always thought this with, you know when people use a family heirloom to propose or as the wedding band or something. Oh yeah, no, no, no, no, that's got to go back. If there's a breakup, that's got to go back. But say you were married for like 10 years. No, it's's got to go back. If there's a breakup, that's got to go back. Let's say you were married for like 10 years. No, it's still got to go back.

And then you split. Unless you had kids, because then that kid is going to be in the family. Yeah, the kid gets it. So the kid could inherit it, as long as that's the rule. But if you didn't have kids, and it goes back anyway, is that person then going to give it to another person? Oh, my Lord.

Imagine if Aaron had been engaged before, and then he proposed to me for that same ring. I don't know. It's cursed. Yeah. This is what we want to know. Yeah, alright, well we want to take your calls. 0800 DARLS at EM. You can text as well. 9696. Maybe you've been in this situation. Yes.

As well, maybe you've had an engagement that's broken off. You can tell us what you did. Did you give the ring back? Did you sell the ring? Also, I'd love to know if anybody listening knows the legal answer. Yes, please. Maybe you've done an online course. You give someone

a $26,000 engagement ring. Are you entitled to that back? What about if you've only been together for a year and then they bought it for you? You're not entitled to anything. Do you know what I mean? I'd love to know.

So maybe you've been in this situation, you had an engagement called off. Yeah, we don't have... What happened to the ring? What happened to the ring is the question. Whether you know legally it's happened to you, you sold it, you kept it, whatever. 0800 dial ZM is the number

and you can text as well, 9696. What happens with the ring? Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Well, from Australia, an engagement ring listed on Marketplace.

Engagement ring worth how much? $26,000 around. They want how much for it? $18,000. $18,000. Bargain. I mean, grab yourself a bargain.

But it's really split the internet because people are saying, well, it's not your ring to sell. No, he bought it for you. It's not yours to sell. Give it back. But then it was a gift. It was a gift. And then also, if you've been together a long time, you get half of everything. So maybe you're entitled to half of it.

Somebody messaged in saying that you always say two years, but it's three years. Oh, right. It has changed, eh? Yeah. For a de facto. Three years. Yeah. Lee, this happened to you.

Yes, it did. Me and my ex were together for 10 years. We were engaged for two. Then we split and we had to get lawyers involved and everything. And they said, yeah, the ring was a gift. So I could have done with it what I wanted, like kept it or sold it. Because I ended the relationship, I felt bad. So I sold it and then we split the proceeds.

Wow. But you legally, you can take the ring. Yeah, because it was a gift. So it's not a joint purchase. It's a gift. Even if you are a de facto couple by law, you still get to keep the gift. What if it's a family one,

and when you propose to them, you also say, oh, and this is just on permanent loan. Until you die. You get it back. You'd have to have a prenup. Oh, that'd be so weird, keeping a family heirloom, though. Could you have it in the box? In the ring box. Open it, so it stays in the family. You'd have to have a prenup. Oh, that'd be so weird keeping a family heirloom, though.

Could you have it in the box? In the ring box. Open it and it says, will you marry me? P.S. This is just a loan. This is a permanent loan. That can be recalled at any time. Wow.

Please sign here, here, here, and initial every page. Thank you, Lee. You can keep your texts coming in. We want to know if you've been in this situation. Yeah, what happens to the engagement ring if you split? We want to know an engagement ring. If the engagement gets broken off, what happens to the ring? Who gets it?

Yep. What should happen? What legally is supposed to happen? All opinions welcome. Dan, what happened? Hey, so about five or six years ago I proposed to a partner of the family, it was my great

grandmother's ring. Wow. Which was awesome and unfortunately the engagement only lasted about a week. Hey, what happened? What side of the family was it? Was it mum's grandma? It was my mum's great grandma. I bet your mum was reluctant to see that on anything. Mum's grandma ring? It was my mum's great-grandma ring, originally.

I bet your mum was reluctant to see that on anything. Very much so. And then so even though we ended up splitting up, she gave me the ring back, and about three or four years later, I was lucky enough to have my current partner propose to me. Oh, wow. And then that same year, I actually gave her that ring,

and she wears it. No, she proposed you get the ring. No, wow. And then that same year, I actually, I gave her that ring and she wears it. No, she proposed you get the ring. No, he can't. Look, great grandmothers years ago, they were such tiny women. They were tiny little women, weren't they? That's what... It is a tiny little ring, that's 100% true. So in the end, I think the heirloom is more important than

especially in that particular situation. I think it means more than any other ring that can be found. Does that make sense to me that you then used it for your partner now? Yeah. Because it's a family earlobe. Because it means something. So it's not, I think, I agree. I don't think anyone would ever,

I think you'd always hope to choose a partner that would hand an earlobe back if such a situation happened. But then even if you were scorned like really badly. Did you just say you've got a little girl now? I've got a little girl. So I have a feeling that no matter what happens with my current partner, blessings that all happens the right way. But I don't want to stay together forever.

But either way, I think that she'll get that now. She's getting the ring. Okay. I love that. And her future fiancé doesn't have to cough up for one. Yeah, free ring. That makes budgetary sense. Exactly.

Dan, thanks for your call. Some more texts in. Legally, it seems that the ring doesn't have to be returned because it would be classed as a gift. That's everybody's general consensus. I would then... I'd be writing contracts. I'd be getting contracts drawn up.

Even if it's just for the ring. How do you distinguish what is a gift and what is a joint purchase? Because I could easily say, I bought that couch for you as a gift. I bought do you distinguish what is a gift and what is a joint purchase? Because I could easily say I bought that couch for you as a gift. I bought that TV for you as a gift.

Then Aaron could say I bought that car for you as a gift. Because when your money's together it's hard. That's true. You know, when your money's joint

like me and Aaron are financially one. Yeah. So when he bought my engagement ring it's technically our money. Yes. Yeah, actually

you could get down on that because remember that time you brought yourself a chainsaw and you said it was for your wife's technically our money. Yes. Yeah, actually, you could get down on that because remember that time you brought yourself a chainsaw and you said it was for your wife's birthday? Correct. But it was just an excuse to have a chainsaw? Yes. She could take that. I've got two chainsaws. She could take both of them. I'll give her the dung one. I'm going to start telling her the not great one is the better chainsaw. So if it

ever happens, she'll think she's getting the better chainsaw. And she'll take the rubbish chainsaw. And she doesn't know about my secret chainsaw. Oh my god, I getting a bit of chainsaw. And she'll take the rubbish chainsaw. And she doesn't know about my secret chainsaw. Oh my god, I know about your secret. You've got three chainsaws. Why do you need three chainsaws? Because Charlotte wants to clear me out of my chainsaws.

And you have zero chainsaws. It's always important to have a secret garden utility. You need a backup. Yeah, what do you call them? These things? Chainsaws. Tool? Tools. No. Yeah, what do you call them? These things? Chainsaws. Tool?

Tools. Yeah, what are they called? Power tools. Power tools. You have a backup of every power tool hidden away in case of divorce.

People have escape funds of escape toolshed. Which is the secret floor under your garage. So somebody said when they were going through divorce, the test for whether

the gift, if it was a gift or not, was usage. Common or joint The test for whether the gift, if it was a gift or not, was usage. Common or joint use. Well, the couch, to your example of the couch, that would be used every day. That's joint use. Joint use. But the ring.

Single use. And I'm just going to let Aaron wear it every other week instead of a. It's mine. Well, it's yours then. What if they don't use the blender? Like you're the only one that uses. Because I'm the only one who uses the Nutribullet. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Aaron doesn't really smoothie. I smoothie. But then if I was breaking up with you, I'd want the Nutribullet just to spite you. Spite you. This is what I said to him. I said, are you going to come for my piano if we ever split? And he said, yeah, it depends on how we break up.

Yes. If you do me dirty, I'm coming for half your piano. But now I see usage. He can't even play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, let alone Chopin. I would be so bitter that I'd go around to my friend Vaughan's house, get his third chainsaw and cut the piano in half

and say, here's half your piano. I'm going to need to get my chainsaw sharpened afterwards. The strings and everything inside the piano will blunten. Right, okay. I'll let you know when that moment's about to happen. Okay, great. Oh. Yeah, great. Oh.

I just heard your tummy go. Yeah, that was my tum-tums. That was my tum-tum-tums. Hey, guys, I reckon that was the most fun I've ever had on a show. Oh, not for me. Vaughan? Nowhere even close. No, nowhere even close.

Nowhere even close. You haven't been here long, have you? No, I haven't. No. Well, if you were listening and you had fun, why don't you give us a little review and a rating?
