Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast.
It's thanks to McCafe.
Try their refreshing McCafe iced coffee.
It's available now at Macca's.
Bit of a busy day for you, isn't it?
Busy morning you're taking off, aren't you?
You've got Western and Eastern medicine today.
Yeah, I'm going to my doctor and then straight to the acupuncturist, Dr. Wynn.
Do be sure to say hello from Vaughan.
He doesn't know who you are.
His original client.
He doesn't know who you are.
I've tried.
God damn it!
Whereas when I referred someone, he was like, say hi to Halo.
He doesn't care for you, Vaughan.
No.
But I'm going to Western Animal Medicine.
You don't go Eastern?
Well, I haven't tried acupuncture on Major Murray yet.
No.
I think he's still young and sprightly and youthful.
No, like last night, he wouldn't stop licking his butt.
Worms.
He's trying to get it clean.
He's got some worms.
Like around his jennies.
Oh, right.
Just like his old man.
Won't leave it alone.
Won't leave it alone.
And so I'm like, that's weird.
Like, he'll lick every day.
Yeah.
But then he kept licking all the time.
And was it that aggressive licking?
You know when they're really stressed out and they start kind of ripping?
Not too aggressive, but just constant.
Like, he never does it.
Is he getting off?
Well, I was like, is he having a mass?
Is he having a cat wang?
I'm like, what does a cat look like when they have a wang?
But then I was like he's been
muted so do you have a cat man soon you've been muted do you get horny when you've been muted
well I don't know not as much not as it takes away the balls the testosterone that we do that
to them isn't it yeah I mean I know a few dudes it could probably benefit yeah um so I googled
and it's really bad it can mean like a urinary tract blockage. You also thought maybe it was anus cancer.
No, it could be anal glands.
Oh, yeah, the anal glands.
The dogs.
The dogs had that, didn't they?
They had to squeeze them.
Yeah.
This doesn't happen with cats you don't pay for.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Next cat you get.
You've got to get a cheap cat.
A $5 tabby street mongrel.
A rescue tabby.
But yeah, apparently it's really bad.
And if you leave it, it can kill them.
Well, good thing you're going immediately.
Because the weed blocks up.
Yeah, I'm going now after the show.
I also laughed because in one of the breaks today,
you were on the phone to the vet and she said,
hello, and you're like, hi, I've got my cat booked in.
What was your pet's name?
Major Murray Fluffington.
Yeah.
And you started laughing.
And I started laughing.
She was on speakerphone.
And then you told her, I Googled what this means, which means this.
So you were then telling the vet that you'd diagnosed the cat and what it meant.
You're like, oh, he was licking his genitals last night,
which could mean that he's got a urinary tract infection or some kind of anal gland.
Because they love when you tell.
They're like doctor's vets.
They love when you Google and yeah.
Well, I'm going in. I've got nerve pain in my leg,
so I'm going into my Western doctor to tell her it's an amputation.
Because you Googled.
Yeah, I Googled.
The leg's coming off.
Well, you should take the leg to the Eastern.
He'll reattach it.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
With the things he uses for acupuncture.
Just sew it back on, and then he'll re-sew it better.
Good luck.
Thank you
And good luck to you too
I've got no medical
You're fine
I thought you had tingles still
Didn't you have a back thing still
And you've got a juicy ear
No I've got a juicy
But what I'm saying is
I don't have any appointments booked
Oh but you're still fucked
I absolutely fucked
I'm talking about
Last night at 12 o'clock
I woke up with a
Sharp pain in my anus
Now
Did you lick it?
I tried licking it.
You should have licked it.
I've booked both Eastern and Western procedures.
Fantastic.
Oh, dear.
Thank you, Rachel.
Good morning.
Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Two minutes past six.
Happy Tuesday morning.
Tuesday, but it's almost
it's hump day, isn't it?
Of a short week.
Even though we don't say hump day.
Short week, hump day. Pseudo Wednesday.
Pseudo Wednesday. Yeah, Wednesday in disguise.
Long weekend group tote
on Thursday, eight o'clock.
Mutton dressed as Tuesday.
Who were you saying has a public
holiday on Tuesday?
Southland anniversary is next Tuesday,
meaning they would get Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.
After Anzac or after Easter?
After Easter.
That is great planning from them.
Well done.
I think it's purely coincidental.
I'm not 100% sure.
I don't think that would happen every year.
Should it have been on a...
Because anniversary days are always on a Monday or a Friday.
And then has it just been pushed out?
Maybe.
Either way, it's good from then.
Yeah, congrats, Southland.
Enjoy your five-day weekend.
Southland anniversary.
Does it move?
The provincial anniversary day is always celebrated on Easter Tuesday.
So it just moves.
It moves by the moon.
Why don't we put all of our acting rockets?
Good from them.
Like it's magical, but people in Southland are like,
this is just what we do down here.
Purple.
Yeah.
We're always here for Easter.
Easter here in Southland.
Oh, my God.
I love your purple shirt.
I'm going to go to go in my terry.
Down here in the dirt and dirt. Good morning to all of our Southland listeners
who are probably tuned out now.
Happy Southland anniversary.
Country calendar on Sunday just gone was a Stewart Island episode.
I want to go to Stewart Island.
At one stage they were eating pawa and mutton bird for one meal.
I was like, what do they want, gout?
That's some rich nuns.
Oh, I want to go there so bad.
I've never been.
And see the giant kiwis.
I've only been there once.
Stayed one night and didn't leave the vicinity of the little township.
Obama?
Yeah.
There is something very magical about that island.
Yeah.
Wow.
I think there's powers.
Powers?
Do you think so? I heard that's where Clark Gayford's being kept.
On his home detention.
Because of his drug charges.
Because of the nanny.
And the nanny's down there with the baby.
Oh, is she?
Yeah, that's where she's raising the baby.
Yeah.
Right.
So it's still a museum.
He's got a meth lab down there.
Yeah, yeah.
He's pumping meth out.
He's a TY aluminum smelter.
Oh, yeah.
That power's been redirected to his meth lab.
Him and a very famous rugby star.
Speaking of wild conspiracy theories,
the top's like stealing with vaccines.
Yeah, you're right.
The next stage of the vaccine
apparently will just be nasal spray.
Oh, that's good.
Like Flixanase.
Yeah.
Give yourself a little hone up the old schnoot
and away you go.
You'll be protected against COVID.
I reckon I prefer a jab.
I hate nasal spray.
The way it like leaks down the back of your throat.
What if you've got boogers and it doesn't go up?
You probably have to blow your nose and then give it a hone.
Give it a good pick.
But you can always taste it.
Yeah.
But then even like These air drops
I've got from my bad ear
I can taste them
It's all connected
It's all connected
It's so yuck though
Yeah it is yuck
Yeah
Ear, nose, throat
That's still yuck
Alright so
It's been in my ear hole guys
It tastes like wax you know
Top six dealing with that soon
Yeah the top six other ways
To take the vaccine
Next on the show though
I've got the
Richest and poorest star signs.
Some money stats.
What your star sign means.
Real conspiracy theory energy this morning.
Start to zero scientific basis.
You're telling me you don't want to know
how you fit into this.
Yeah, I'm a Libra and I want to know.
You're a Libra?
I'm a Libra.
Do you think Libras are good with money?
Bad? Are they the with money? Bad?
Are they the most paid?
Middle?
Least?
I reckon we're terrible with money,
but we do all right because we're very confident.
All right, well, I've got the list of star signs
and how you are with money,
and we'll go through that next.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Well, this comes to us from Australia.
A website has looked at all the data that they've collected
and compared it to people's birthdays, their star signs.
Oh.
And drawn some, I guess, what's the word?
Drawn some...
Comparisons? Parallels?
Conclusions.
Conclusions.
Conclusions.
I got you.
I got you.
Well, you know, I've got COVID brain fog, guys.
Yes, I can't wait to be able to blame getting old on that.
Yeah, but I had COVID 20 years ago.
Do you guys remember that?
Sometimes I just can't remember things, guys.
So I've got each person's star sign and their relation to money.
So including the wealthiest, the least wealthiest.
Can we start with our own star signs?
Well, I'm going to start with this list.
Otherwise, I'm going to be all out of whack.
Okay.
So you're going to go from Aries.
They're the worst with money. No, I'm just going here.
Aries, I can tell you, most likely to have no savings.
Spends the most on groceries.
And one in four Aries are extremely stressed with their financial situation.
I think this is classic star sign stuff.
You hear the name and then you identify with the features.
But so they are going by spending statistics.
Yeah, this isn't La-di-da-hoo-pla, this isn't La-di-da-hoo-pla.
This isn't La-di-da-hoo-pla.
This is looking at people and their spending habits.
This isn't written in the stars.
No, they're not grabbing this from the constellations
or something.
Constellation Drive.
Constellation Drive.
Good road.
Lots of things in Constellation Drive.
Taurus, one of the most happiest star signs,
saves the most amount of money each month.
Has one of the largest share portfolios.
Oh, they sound boring.
Gemini's saves the most
as a percentage of income.
Most likely to struggle to pay their rental home loan.
Oh dear.
Cancers, that's me. Yeah.
Spends the most on online shopping.
Takes the longest to pay off their
credit card debt. Yeah.
And most likely to pay late fees on their bills.
Oosh.
Is that a bit of you?
No.
You love a bit of online shopping.
I do love a bit of online shopping.
But you don't even buy like a $3 item from AliExpress or something.
Yeah, absolutely.
Leo's.
Also spends the most on online shopping.
Most likely to own cryptocurrency.
Ooh.
Virgo's. Least likely to be extremely stressed with their financial situation, has the smallest
share portfolio.
Certainly.
Of all these people that were surveyed.
Libras.
That's me, that's me, that's me.
Is this you?
Okay, so highest average income.
Thank you very much.
Least likely to pay late fees on their bills and most likely to struggle to pay their rental
home loan. So I'm earning a lot likely to struggle to pay their rental home loan.
So I'm earning a lot and I can't pay my rent?
Yes.
Oh, dear.
But then you're not more likely to be spending the most online shopping.
So I don't know where your money's going.
Maybe a drug or alcohol habit.
It's not mentioned here.
Just make a lot of cash withdrawals from ATMs.
Dragging my name through the mud,
saying I've got a drug and alcohol habit?
How dare you?
Certainly an alcohol habit.
Oh, certainly.
So you're Libra, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, so Scorpio next on the list.
Scorpio saves the least amount of money each month.
Good at saving on groceries, though.
That's good.
Not very hungry.
Saggies are the quickest to pay off their credit card debt
and the least interested in cryptocurrency.
Capricorn.
But a sense there from the Sagittarius.
Have we done you yet?
You're Pisces, eh?
You're bottom of the list.
You're last.
Capricorn has the least amount of money in savings,
relatively uninterested in crypto.
Aquarius has the most amount of money in savings,
most likely not to be stressed about money.
And Pisces, Vaughn, you, the fish.
One of the happiest star signs.
Frugal.
Happiest guy I know.
Frugal when it comes to online shopping.
Frugal.
Frugal.
Frugal.
And least likely to have a side hustle because you're lazy.
Too lazy.
Too lazy for a side hustle.
See, that sums you up, doesn't it?
Oh, doesn't it just?
Frugal with online shopping and not likely to have a side hustle. Also, that sums you up, doesn't it? Oh, doesn't it just? Frugal with online shopping and not likely to have a side hustle.
Also, one of the happiest star signs.
I've never met a happier man.
Just, thank you.
That makes me happy.
Yeah.
Well, you're not sad because you've frittered away all your online money.
No.
No mention of NFTs in my one.
No, there's no mention of NFTs in any of these.
Oh, sorry.
What were you?
Cryptos. Crypto. No, no mention of crypto for you. Good any of these. Oh, sorry. What were you? Cryptos.
Crypto.
No, no mention of crypto for you.
Good, good, good, good.
You haven't done crypto, have you?
Or NFTs.
Yeah, you're just doing your shares.
How's your shares going?
Guys, bad news
in the shares department,
but hell of a time to buy
because you may remember
if you're a long-time listener
of the show
or podcast
that I was reaching
the dizzying heights of a 16% return on investment.
Far apart.
By near.
Well, I can tell you now my return is down to 3.4%.
Tough time for the share market.
And I blame, I put this squarely at the feet of Vladimir Putin.
He certainly does have an influence in this.
Yeah, I think it would be 0%, if not for that heroic Ukrainian leader.
Yeah.
Vladimir Zelensky.
Zelensky's not doing me any good.
My shares he's returned is 0.43%.
I have invested $21, though.
Right.
So do you think that I need to put in more to get out more?
I will not necessarily.
I'll put in $1,598 and it's worth
$1,643.
Well, you're still up. Better than being
in negatives. I'm only $55
up. Right, okay.
We're going to be rich as lords.
Yeah, when this bounces back.
See, zero point, oh no, that,
oh sorry, my return is negative 0.43.
Oh, okay. Yeah, right.
You've lost money. Who are you investing in? I don't know, it does it for me.43. Oh, okay. Yeah, right. We've lost money.
Who are you investing in?
I don't know.
It doesn't fool me.
Guns, I think.
Oh, right.
Guns. It'd be a good time for guns, I reckon.
It'd be a good time for guns.
I don't do that sort of investing, but if you've got no ethics.
Oh, because you're, what's that?
I'm an ethical trader.
You're an ethical trader.
Yes, I did that.
The responsible, the global order.
That's what I'm part of.
Yeah, right.
Because I invested in palm oil and then that went down
because apparently that's not called palm oil.
And does it contain palm oil?
All the monkeys are losing their homes.
Yeah, that kind of stuff.
Yeah, well, Carl Fletcher's losing his investment.
I'm losing my investment, so someone's losing.
Jesus, my marijuana.
I really wish that had come through as legal
because all my marijuana
Investments
Yeah
One's down 50%
Tanking isn't it
Okay
Well Jesus
Not hard
Being the wolf
What mob can you invest in
On the
Anyone listening
Who's in the mongrel mob
What's your return
Or any gang
I don't think they do
A Shazzy's return
It's more
They're not in an IPO float
No
They'll just drop it
At your doorstep, I think.
Oh, okay.
Next on the show, producer Jared in a little bit of an awkward pickle.
Would you say an awkward pickle?
I'd say an awkward chutney of sorts.
Yeah, yeah.
Somewhat of an awkward pickle-ily.
A rescinded invitation.
The story behind it next.
Bits of corn.
Bits of corn in this relish.
It's a corn in it.

This weekend
Long weekend
Easter weekend
I've got a wedding
On Saturday
But around that
Yesterday
The lads
Were trying to
Sort out at least
One
If not two
Dungeons and Dragons sessions Now we can't two Dungeons and Dragons sessions. Now we can't have
Dungeons and Dragons without our Dungeon
Master, Jared Pickstock
aka Producer Jared. You really snuck
this Dungeons and Dragons chat.
Is this what we're talking about? I've banned
Dungeons and Dragons chat. I didn't know this was coming.
Unless there's a really
good reason for it. What's he called?
Your Lord. Your Lord.
No, Dungeon Master. Dungeon Master. The DM. He's he called? Your lord. Your lordship. No, Dungeon Master.
Dungeon Master.
The DM.
He's the master.
Game Master.
Dungeon Master.
So Jared's like,
we're trying to sort out a time.
I say,
how about a Thursday night and a Sunday eve?
Well,
this is why Vaughn doesn't want
to come out with us
for a boozy lunch.
We're having boozy.
You can't do Thursday night
because we're doing
boozy Thursday lunch.
I'm not doing boozy.
Because he wants to go
and play with the boys. No, we've caught it. It's officially a boozy Thursday lunch. I'm not doing boozy. Because he wants to go and play with the boys.
No, we've caught it.
It's officially a blowout.
Well, I'm not even.
I live a blowout.
I can't have a blowout.
Your life is a blowout.
My life is a blowout.
I can't have a blowout if I'm living a blowout.
Yeah.
That's actually a great saying.
You can't have a blowout if your life is a blowout.
If you are a blowout.
Yeah, if you're a blowout, you can't blowout.
Gandhi.
Yeah.
Mah Gandhi.
I think it was. That guy had a blowout. He had a blowout. That guy definitely had a blowout. Yeah, you're a blowout. You can't blow out. Gandhi. Yeah, Mahatma Gandhi. I think it was.
That guy had a blowout.
He had a blowout.
That guy definitely had a blowout.
Sometimes you're just like, pump the brakes.
Have a blowout.
So Jared was like, I'll let you know.
And then he's like, I'm good.
I'm free.
I'm free all weekend.
I'm a free bird.
I said, what changed?
And he told me what I thought was a little bit of a sad story
that we would now like to hear from Jared himself. Jared, what changed? And he told me what I thought was a little bit of a sad story that we would now like
to hear from Jared himself.
Oh, Jared, what's happened?
Well, on the weekend, the middie and I went to one of her mate's parties.
It was very doofy.
There was music and beverages.
Were the people doofy or was the music doofy?
Everyone was doofy.
I wasn't super doofy, but people were doofy.
Doofy through and through.
Yeah, yeah.
It was a doof.
And the middie's mate said, let's go camping this weekend.
And oh my gosh, Jared, you should come.
And I was like, oh, okay, cool.
Love camping.
I'm one of the gals now.
I'm one of the few boyfriends in the group.
Yeah.
So it's like quite cool to be invited.
Yeah, it's an honor.
I'm a cool boyfriend.
Yeah.
They like you.
And then the middie was stoked.
Everything was good. And then the nextdie was stoked. Everything was good.
And then the next morning, I went to the shed and I grabbed out the tent to give it a little look,
make sure it was all good for the upcoming weekend.
You might have put it back a little bit wet.
I'm a boy scout.
Preparation is key.
It is.
And then the middie sheepishly walks out.
She says, hey, are you getting stuff ready for camping?
And I was like, yeah.
And she says, maybe, are you getting stuff ready for campaign? And I was like, yeah. And she says,
maybe you don't come.
He's uninvited.
I like, by the way,
this is,
Sade would do the same thing.
I'd get the tent out,
make sure everything's right
with it,
make sure all the bits
and pieces are there,
put it in a spot,
get everything you need
and then she'd be like,
well, I actually think
it's just a girl's weekend. I'd be like, I actually think it's just a girls' weekend.
I'd be like...
She's smarter than your girlfriend
because you didn't get, you didn't sort the stuff yet.
I'm surprised you didn't get there, set up the tent,
and then she's like,
this was just going to be a girls' weekend.
So you were invited now, the middies uninvited you.
Yeah.
Because she wants it just to be the gals.
Yeah, she hasn't had a lot of time
to hang out with just the gals recently because of COVID. And she's sick of the sight of you. She's Because she wants it just to be the gals. Yeah, she hasn't had a lot of time to hang out with just the gals
recently because of COVID. And she's sick of the side
of you. Yeah. Sick of this
big burly man. Yeah.
They want a real feminine energy and that's
not something you bring.
Do her friends know that they've
invited the dungeon
master himself? I think that was what
made them invite me. Yeah, of course.
It certainly wasn't.
He controls the narrative.
We've got the master here.
Yeah, let's roll some toys.
Well, that's embarrassing.
So what are you going to do now?
Just stay at home?
No, my weekend roadmap
is looking fine.
He had to do that thing
where he was really disappointed
to be uninvited.
Oh, bugger.
Yeah, no.
I was really looking forward to it.
And in your mind,
you're just planning every hour
and your meals.
It's going to be boigers. It planning every hour and your meals it's going to be
burgers
it's going to be
it's going to be
pizzas
it's going to be
PlayStation all weekend
blah blah blah
blah blah blah
this
is the
top six
hi there
scientists have had
to rethink their strategy
about the best way
to fight future variants
of the
of the coronavirus
um
and they're aiming for a higher level of protection,
blocking infections altogether with a vaccine that could be a nasal spray.
Which would be good for people that have the needle phobia.
Yeah.
So a lot of people were put off getting the vaccine
because they were scared of needles.
But it was the skinniest little needle, wasn't it?
I hardly felt it going in.
I got suspicious that it didn't do it.
It didn't do it.
Squirt on the wall.
Yeah.
I know my...
Because you didn't look though, did you?
Like, I look away.
Oh, no, I looked the first time.
Oh, yeah.
I was kind of looking.
I would have heard the, like, on the wall, I think.
Okay, there was no squirt on the wall.
No, there wasn't.
When I took my daughters
for their second one,
Indy didn't even feel it. She's like,
I don't even think they did it. Yeah, I didn't
feel my first one. It's only afterwards
when you get the heaviness that you're like, I must have.
Yeah, got a little something something there.
So,
I think a nasal spray will be the next.
A puff of droplets up people's nostrils
could provoke mucosal immunity,
a virus-fighting force embedded in the tissue that lines the airways,
so it wouldn't even get in.
Because that's where it gets into us, isn't it?
The snout and our snozzy.
The nos.
Which is, again, so surprising.
I'm a nose picker.
Yeah.
I'm a nose picker too.
I'm a digger.
If something's bothering me, I'll just absolutely get in there for a fidget.
Well, I know people that recently have been infected,
and their friends were hanging out with them, their family,
and they didn't even get it.
Vaccinated?
Yeah.
Vaccines?
What?
They work?
Well, TBC.
TBC.
Yeah, we'll see what's around the corner.
But yeah, the nasal spray.
So I thought, why stop there?
I've got the top six other ways to take the next stage of the vaccine.
Number six on the list, eye drops I thought, why stop there? I've got the top six other ways to take the next stage of the vaccine. Number six on the list,
eye drops.
Oh yeah, okay.
Get a fun little eye drop.
It's fun taking eye drops.
Do you ever tell,
when you were growing up,
did you have Optrex eye baths?
No.
We had a bottle of Optrex.
I think farmers had it,
maybe because it's so dusty in summer
and the old man would always come in
and his eyes would be sore
and you'd put your eye socket in the eye bath.
Blinking it. And then you went, shake, shake, shake and blink. Yeah. And it cleaned out the old man would always come in and his eyes would be sore and you'd put your eye socket in the eye bar. Blinking it.
And then you went shake, shake, shake and blink.
Yeah.
And it cleaned out the old eyes.
So maybe eye drops for the vaccine.
Yeah, that'd be good.
Number five on the list of the top six ways to take the next stage of the vaccine.
The nose links to the throat, so a throat spray.
Yeah, nice.
I like a throat spray.
Oh, yeah.
With that skinny little rod.
Yeah, yeah.
So it can get right back.
Deflam? Yeah, deflam does it can get right back. Deflam?
Yeah, Deflam does it.
I got the stuff in the States when I got strep throat,
and it cost me $600 to see a doctor.
Covered by medical insurance.
Yeah, that's why you always have travel insurance.
$600 for the doctor, $600 for my daughter to see the doctor,
and then $300 for prescription medication.
So it would have cost us $1,500.
Americans are just so effed, eh?
And they're all like,
we don't want free healthcare, you communists.
Oh, I know.
So weird.
So a throat sprain along.
Well, the one I got from America,
it's run out now.
Man, it was good.
Just get it right in there in one spray.
Numb as you like.
Yeah.
Yummy.
Number four on the list,
the top six ways to take the next stage of the vaccine,
vaccine up the jacksy.
A suppository.
It could be a suppository.
It could be a spray.
It could be a spray.
Yeah.
Don't get that confused with the long nozzle that you've just used on the throat spray.
But if it was similar.
You could go mouth to ass.
Mouth to ass, but never back to mouth.
No, no.
No, it's not a ping pong.
Well, you've got to get it a couple of inches in to the absorbent spot.
I think you'll have a few people hesitant to do it that way.
I bet you'll have a few people bloody lining up to do it that way too.
Yeah, spray.
It might feel quite nice.
Yeah.
Oh, refreshing.
Well, maybe if that's not your cup of tea,
number three might be more your cup of tea.
Okay.
Or your cup of Long Island iced tea.
Vaccine cocktails.
Oh, yes.
A little Pfizer Mojito.
Yeah.
A little Moderna Midori.
Yep, good.
Moderna Mai Tai.
A Pina Corona.
Yes.
Yum, yum, yum, yum.
Vaccine cocktails.
Oh, I can't wait for our cocktails on Thursday.
Thursday, boozy Thursday.
Thursday, Thursday.
We're letting loose.
Number two on the list of the top six ways to take the next stage of the vaccine.
Smoke a little vaccine.
Oh, roll it up.
Roll it up and smoke a little vaccine.
You could vape the vaccine.
You could smoke the vaccine, go old school.
Or are you lacing your tobacco?
I mean, it just seems a little bit, you know, like...
Grow a plant.
Your lungs are what gets affected by COVID.
Exactly.
And you're saying smoke, right.
The smoke's covering them, so they can't get infected.
Right.
It's a protective coating of sorts.
Well, that's how this nasal spray is going to work, right?
It's a great idea.
So this could totally work.
And number one on the list are the top six ways to take the next stage of the vaccine.
And I think this one's specifically targeted at people I saw
that were anti the vaccine
because they didn't want to put that junk in their body.
Snorting a line of vaccine.
Because a lot of people that were anti putting something in their body
that they didn't know the origins of
were pretty happy to hone it straight up the old snooter
off the back of a toilet seat, you know, at a club.
Yeah.
Or at a house party or something.
So yeah, number one on the list, snorting a line of vaccine.
Top it up on the mirror.
That is today's top six.
Bluff or stuff.
Snow lying.
All right, it's time for bluff or stuff.
Snow lying.
Two of us are lying.
One of us is telling the truth.
One of us currently wearing snowboarding goggles.
Is that what you call them?
Yes.
Yeah, that's what you call them.
Okay.
I've got to say, I've only ever been snowboarding once,
and it's hard.
I couldn't stand up.
Yeah, it's hard.
It's very different.
It's gripping to my trainer.
I had a sore arse for two seasons before I felt confident.
Yeah, right.
I can't have a day without taking a major bag.
Okay, well.
Stick at it, guys.
Stick at it.
Nothing, you know.
Nothing with doing comes easy.
Yeah.
We have for Graves a multi-day pass for Kadrona or Triple Cone to give away each day this
week.
And you can ski and snowboard from $75 at Cardi's and Triple Cone.
With their early bird multi-day salads on now,
family fun, New Zealand's best peaks at Kadrona,
big mountain terrain and big views at Tribble Cone.
It's at Kadrona.
My kids had done pizza French fry lessons when we went there.
Is that when you sit in the cafe and eat?
No, no, that's where you go straight on skis.
You go straight and then you go pizza, straight pizza. Yeah. And then
just set them free on it and
they're away. They were away by the end of the
week. They were loving it. They can go
up and down by themselves. Alright, well
Matthew joins us. Good morning, Matthew.
Good morning, how are you? Good. Can I just say everything
in the studio is so bright because I'm wearing
these goggles. It's like
so bright. Well, that's the
exact opposite of what these goggles are intended to do
because they're intended to take the brightness out
of snow.
You can get different types though. Yeah, you can.
These ones are brightening
up the whole room. They're not.
They've not got the low light yellow lens in it.
They've got the highlight reflective
lens. Matthew, they're making
everything kind of like amber toned.
Like they're kind of cooling off the white.
It's fletchy full of it.
Yeah.
It looks like it's brighter.
How much, Hayley, how much would you say, you know,
the strap around the back of your head, what's that like?
What does it feel like?
It's like a really thick, it's kind of like a, I don't know,
it's sort of like a thick waistband.
A thick waistband.
Yeah, like a really thick undies band.
She just touched her hair tied up in a knot.
Didn't even touch the strap.
No, I'm just slapping the bloody...
That's your hair tie.
I can tell you the strap's a little loose because usually...
What about you, Vaughan?
Vaughan, how does it feel over your eyes?
Is it covering your nose?
Is it pushing down on your nose?
You can probably hear that it's pushing down on the top of my nose. No, it's just how you sound. No, you've just got a blocked up nose. You see, before you covering your nose? Is it pushing down on your nose? You can probably hear that it's pushing down the top of my nose. No, it's just how
you sound. No, you've just got a blocked up nose.
You see, before you pick your nose.
The band's loose because
usually it's over a helmet.
Oh, okay, yeah.
So the band's a little bit loose. Good line.
It's not loose on me.
I've got a big head. It's tight on me.
I've got a huge head, but it's still loose.
Okay, Matthew, who's telling the truth?
The bluff or stuff?
Yeah, this would be very good, because I'm in Hawke's Bay,
and I'm planning for a 10-day trip down to Katowice.
Oh, you're going to do it?
It'd absolutely be bloody perfect then.
I'd go with Vaughan if I were you then,
and I'd say Vaughan's got the goggles on.
I mean, obviously, I'm wearing them.
I've seen it.
One thing we guarantee is Fletch isn't wearing them.
I would absolutely rule Fletch out.
We'll tell you here and now.
Okay, Matthew.
Who is it?
Who is it?
Back the winning horse.
It's Vaughan.
I wouldn't lie to you, Matthew.
Let's go with Bourne
Are you sure about that?
Yeah, he's sure
Because I said the rune's really bright
He's wrong
Yeah, and you're wrong
Yay
There we go
The 10-day trip
Just got a whole lot better
Yeah, did
Congratulations
Hey, we've got a multi-day pass
For Kadrona and Trouble Cone
For you
Well done, Matthew
Awesome, fantastic
Thank you very much.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Well, it's a sad day for the humble rose.
Apparently, worldwide, the sales of rose bushes,
so the people actually planting them,
not just buying them for Valentine's Day,
have plummeted because young people in recent decades
think that they're old-fashioned and a bit twee.
Oh, goddamn young people.
Oh, no.
They're ruining everything, aren't they?
I love a rose.
Still okay for Valentine's Day,
but if you were, say, coming home just middle of the year
with a bunch of roses...
That would be a bit weird.
That would be weird.
Wait, so giving roses or like growing roses?
Growing roses.
Like planting them in your garden.
They went from an estimated $65 million a year plant sold.
Jesus.
To five million.
Oh, that's a massive drop off.
Bev.
My mum.
Her garden's full, that's why.
She loves them.
I love roses.
Hundreds of roses.
Hundreds, yeah.
Hundreds of roses.
They smell so good. Well, that's what, stop and smell the roses. I can roses. Hundreds of roses. Hundreds, yeah. Hundreds of roses. They smell so good.
Well, that's what I stop and smell the roses.
I can't ever walk past a rose and not give it a sniff.
But if your fiancé Aaron came home with a bunch of roses
and it wasn't Valentine's Day, would you find that nice or a bit weird?
Yeah, they're a bit weird.
They're out of character, though.
They're very out of character for him to bring home flowers.
You're like, what have you done?
But, yeah, I just think they are a bit weird as a bouquet, I think, too. Like, new, very out of character. You're like, what have you done? But, yeah, I just think they are a bit weird as a bouquet.
I think now that, to me, that is a bit old-fashioned.
Because now if you look at floristry, it's very fancy.
Oh, yeah, they chuck, like, twigs in there.
Twigs.
And all kinds of weird stuff.
Dried things.
Yeah.
Toy toy.
Flax.
Yeah, yeah.
Bit of flax.
Get a big run of flax up there.
Producers, girls, if the boyfriends bought home a bunch of roses,
would that be weird?
It'd be flattering, but I'd be like, this is an unusual choice.
Probably wouldn't say that, though.
What flowers would you rather have as a...
I love a peony.
What's that one?
It's a type of rose, right?
I suppose it is, but fat, open rose.
I suppose it is the rose family, but still different enough.
I love a Lily.
I'm a simple gal like that.
But you've got cats.
Yeah, I know.
You just pull the middle bit out.
Yeah, because they'll die.
Yeah.
Lilies are not cats' friends.
Carl Wayne, does the boyfriend bring home flowers?
Yeah, he does.
How often?
Relatively often.
Wow.
But not roses.
Not roses all the time.
What, like fancy bougie ones?
Does he steal them from a graveyard?
Yeah, actually.
Yeah, that's what he does.
You suspect he is stealing them from some sort of council graveyard.
Yeah, probably.
What kind?
What kind does he bring?
All different kinds.
Really?
Colourful ones?
Yeah.
Fragrant ones? Beautiful ones. Does he get them at the entrance of Pack and Save? Yeah, probably. They have Colourful ones? Yeah. Fragrant ones?
Does he get them at the entrance of Pack and Save?
Yeah, probably.
Nothing wrong. I've said this before.
It doesn't matter where you get them from.
The Countdown nearest has a florist.
I love that.
Not just a rack of buckets.
Nah, there's a person there.
So he'll just pop in for some snitchel
and get some roses.
Well, not roses. Flowers. Wow, wow. So he'll just pop in for some snitchel and get some roses. Well, not roses.
Not roses, flowers.
Wow, okay.
What would you get for the midi if you were going to get her flowers, Jared?
She likes the dead plants with then some of the live plants in it.
You know, like the brown stuff.
Yes, the browns.
What?
The browns with the pastels.
Like the grass and the fluffy things.
Oh, like the grasses in that. Yeah, and then like... I don't think they're dead, I just think they're brown. Yeah the pastels. Like the grass and the fluffy things. Oh, like the grasses in that.
Yeah.
I don't have an idea.
I just think they're brown.
Yeah, could be.
I don't know.
That sounds so romantic.
Love a dried flower.
I chuck some chocolate in there and it ticks the box.
Yeah.
That picks up.
You just bring home some vape juice and she's stoked.
She would be stoked.
Oh, yeah.
Wrapped up vape juice.
It's the new joke. Okay, wrapped up vape juice. It's the new KKK vape juice.
So fragrant.
Can you get vape?
Can you get rose-scented vape?
I'm sure you can.
Yeah, I think you can.
There we go.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM.
Happens to the best of us.
Sometimes you just can't shake off the work day when you get home.
Yeah.
I'm often telling Aaron to laugh out louder.
I'll walk into the house confused and I'll say to Shade,
what lives here?
Is it hit music?
No, no, no.
It's us.
And I'll be like, are we?
Are you sure this isn't the home of hit music? Yeah. And she says, no, Vaughn, Vaughn'll be like, are we? Are we hit music?
And she says, no Vaughn, Vaughn, snap out of it Snap out of it, you're at home
Why go home?
I say, Fletch, why do you look like that?
She says, I'm not Fletch
Yeah, because I'll quite, friends will often say
Do you want to go for a coffee?
And I'll say, well, we could go to McCafe and try the refreshing
McCafe iced coffee
I take my work home all the time.
All the time.
And last night, social media queen, Carween, took her work home as well.
What happened, Carween?
I answered my personal cell phone with, hello, ZM.
Yes, yes, yes.
No!
Who was on the line?
Who was calling?
Well, I have had a few calls lately with my insurance company.
Because your Aqua was stolen and used as a ram raid vehicle
on a Louis Vuitton and Gucci store.
No, it was before that.
It was before that, but potentially still a ram raid.
Side note, why do Aquas, you've, Carween's learnt this,
why do Aquas make great cars to steal for ram raids?
Apparently they're like the small enough of width that they can fit through a dairy door and stuff.
I'm really surprised Louis Vuitton and Gucci didn't have a bollard.
Because most places have a bollard in front of this.
Maybe it would ruin the aesthetic.
I just said that.
Yeah, and it's a very aesthetic based place.
And who the hell ram raids Queen Street?
There are cameras everywhere.
It was also midnight.
Like even when I come to work at 5am,
there are always people on Queen Street.
Oh yeah.
Hanging about.
I'm less annoyed about that.
I hate seeing a dairy ram raided.
Those are 99% of the time family owned businesses.
The massive windows.
Yeah.
Smashed out or a massive glass door.
What are you going to get?
A couple of packs of ciggies and a $1 mix.
Yeah. So you've got a new aqua.
I do.
Are you getting an immobiliser this time?
I have an immobiliser, an alarm and a steel.
So how did the person...
And a bull bar, so if they do see you, you'll get it back.
So what did the person from the insurance company say when you answered the phone, ZM,
hello?
So I was like, ZM, hello?
And then they were like
is Carwin?
Is this Carwin? And I was like
yes, hi.
That's
brilliant. I've done
that before when we used to have to answer
our phones when we did afternoons.
Before producers were a thing.
You'd always answer it.
I'd do it a couple of times, done it a couple of times.
Right.
Also, I don't know if this is in the same vein,
but when I hear songs playing, say I'm in a shop and I hear a song.
Oh my God.
Or just a song at home on a playlist, in my head,
I know when the singing starts or I know when it's about to fade out or end.
Yeah, and you're getting ready to sort of say.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do a leaper.
Yeah.
Or the song finishes
on a playlist
and I'm like,
they haven't said the song
and they need to start
playing the next song.
There's neuroses.
Yeah.
It's because I'm just trained
to like,
in my head.
I listen to podcasts
and I always imagine
I'm there
and I'm piping in.
I listen to podcasts
and I'm like,
this is what I do.
I can't participate in the podcast.
Well, I'm obviously still very fresh,
but I hosted a barbecue a few weeks back,
and I said to one of my friends,
chuck something on the Yui Boom,
and she put on the ZM playlist,
and I was like,
this is torture,
because I just felt like I was at work,
and I needed to go to the toilet, and I was like, I better run, because I've only like I was at work and I needed to go to the toilet.
And I was like, I better run because I've only got two and a half minutes.
I've got to come back before the song finishes.
So we wanted to ask, after Carwen answered the phone, said hello,
in her personal home time, we wanted to ask when you take your work home,
like the things that still bug you about your work when you go home.
Maybe you're constantly going into your partner's wardrobe
and doing the retail fold on all of his T-shirts.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
That'd actually be pretty cool.
It'd be pretty cool, yeah.
That'd be pretty nice.
Nice to have those retail folds.
Or maybe you're a teacher and you keep going home
and telling off your partner.
Telling your husband.
No, naughty.
Or you write his name up on the fridge whiteboard
and then start putting marks beside it. Start separating him from your kids. You two, separate. Well, you write his name up on the fridge whiteboard and then start putting marks beside it.
Start separating him from your kids.
You two, separate.
Yeah.
Enough of that.
Or you think you're going, toilet?
You didn't ask.
Sit back down.
Or if you answer the phone all day with your business's name,
do you do that like Carwen did when you go home?
We want to know.
We want to know when you take your work home with you.
Carwen at the social media desk,
who answers the phones,
answered her personal cell phone to the insurance company with Hello ZM.
This happens all the time with people.
It's the same sort of mentality when you get used to one environment
and then it changes and you can't switch.
Like when you used to call your teacher mum.
You know what I mean?
You'd be like, sorry mum.
You'd be like, oh my God, shame.
And then shame, yeah.
But it's the other way around
when you took work
at home.
It's worse when
someone calls their boss
mum or dad.
Oh god, or babe.
Yeah.
Sorry babe.
So we want to know
from you this morning,
0800DARLS.M
You can text in as well,
9696.
When do you take
your work home with you? Lauren,
what happens?
I was a beauty therapist for a long
time and I used to always
go home with people's pubes stuck to my
elbow.
You literally took people's work
home with you. Yeah, yeah, literally.
And it would be hours later that I would
notice or somebody else would notice.
Would your partner be like, is this my
pube, your pube? Whose pubes are these?
Whose pubes is this? Oh, I didn't delve
that deep into figuring out whose they were.
Oh my God. I'd be
too curious. I'd pick them up and be like, that was that Sarah
chick. Yeah, that was my 11.
Yeah, that was my 11.
It's particularly fluffy.
Red tinge.
She's the only person I think that would have had ginger.
Yeah, that was the one that got ginger.
Very interesting.
Deceptively.
So that's been there for nine hours.
Oh, my Lord.
Amazing.
Lauren, thanks for sharing.
Chloe, when do you take your work home with you?
Well, I used to work in one of the prisons.
I'm a nurse.
And, like, obviously you'd have, like, a radio with a headpiece in.
So, like, you'd be listening to stuff going on all day.
And then, like, there'd be times after a really busy day
where I'd literally hear the radio put off in my ear,
listening, thinking that I still have the headpiece in.
Oh, that's haunting you.
And then, like, literally make up scenarios in my head
about what's going on.
Oh, my God.
What kind of things would you hear in your earpiece in my head about what's going on. Oh my God. What kind of things
would you hear in your earpiece?
There's a prisoner's
brother free.
You know,
like I still thought
that the earpiece was in
and you know,
like you'd be kind of
processing what's happened
during the day and things
and then like
you'd just be listening
to random stuff
going on
thinking that you saw
your earpiece.
Oh, so you're in the
soup bag and they're like
bing bong
and you're like
alright, I'm ready.
Right in the playground. Who is it? Do they bong, and you're like, right, I'm ready.
Right in the playground.
Who is it?
Do they call it a playground in prison?
As I said, right in the playground, I thought the playground's not quite what they call it.
Oh, no, not in the playground, no.
Was it scary working in a prison?
No, it was actually, I felt a lot safer than I did in the community, really.
Right.
We were in, like, big prison after days all day,
so it's all good, yeah.
I'm going to ask you a personal fantasy of mine.
Any hot prisoners in there?
Oh, no comment.
No comment.
So there are.
That naughty rat bag. She would have been like,
remove your little jumper.
And they have a look at you.
Oh, the hat hat's spot on.
You think you're a big tough boy, do you?
Drop your trousers.
Let's have a look at what's going on down there.
Chloe, thank you.
I'm going to put some soap in a sock and beat you with it.
You've been a little shit.
Amy, when did you
take your work home with you?
Actually, this morning.
Oh, really?
I'm a preschool teacher and I had this,
I turned on my Spotify to do my workout at the gym
at 5 a.m. this morning.
And I had a lovely song about being extra bunny
and jumping around and hopping like a bunny.
Oh, yeah, you're taking over the place.
Got my tongue on, eh?
You're there to do some like extreme hit workout.
I'm with your bunny and you go.
It's the creepiest thing in the morning, I tell you.
No, it's not good.
Not good for the treadmill.
Amy, thank you.
I have some messages in.
God, there's some real jobs that have sounds that live in people's minds rent free.
I used to be a flight attendant and I could hear call bells in the night and remember
things that I forgot to get people on flights.
Oh God.
Like that other bourbon and coke.
Where is it?
It's 2am and I'm sobering up.
Somebody said, I'm a dairy farmer
and this morning I said to the kids,
cowbot, cowbot, like calling in the cows.
That's good though.
Get in behind.
Cowbot up, get up, push right up, cowbot.
I'm a teacher and I'm always talking to my partner as if he's one of the kids.
Yes.
I sing songs we sang during clean up.
Oh.
Pack up your shoes.
After dinner, she makes him put the chair on the table.
Yeah.
Cheers up.
Remember that?
Cheers up for the clean up.
End of day.
Cheers up for the clean up. Cheers up. Remember that end of term or end of day? Cheers up for the clean up.
Cheers up.
And they also give them a disappointed talk.
You get really heavy in the tone.
Oh.
Really heavy in the tone.
He probably likes that though.
Yeah.
I'm a nurse.
I hear call bells and IV pumps all the time.
Even though they're not at work.
Anything that makes a beep, they can hear it and they think they're at work.
Oh, gosh.
Puts a little chill up because, I mean, yeah, the beeps will mean something, right?
Especially a high-pressure job like that.
Yeah.
Imagine being a nurse and your washing machine, when it ended,
its cycle made the same noise as a flatlining patient.
And you're like, shit, quick.
Oh, God, your washing machine.
Yeah, resuscitation trolley.
Yeah, you're like, ah, recess trolley, get in there.
It's just the towels.
It's just the sheets.
Yeah. Lots of people, ah, recess trolley, get in there. It's just the towels. It's just the sheets. Yeah.
Lots of people taking it home with them.
Play.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
A divorce lawyer has shared on TikTok with her loyal followers
the top five professions to avoid in a husband
based on her experience.
So she looked at all of the cases of
divorces and separations
and found there was a
sort of common theme with the role that
the man was in. Okay.
In particular, the five
jobs. The first up is
fireman. Okay. Is it
the odd hours? It's not
the odd hours. Fireman.
The honeys can't keep their hands
off that fireman. Honestly.
That was
a bit of soot.
A bit of soot on the forehead.
Those t-shirts, those tight t-shirts
underneath, overalls.
Right. A moustache sometimes.
Yes. This is why you can't live in apartment buildings
because you just keep pressing the alarm.
I do.
I'm always like, ding.
And they turn up.
You're like, what's going on?
A police officer.
Same thing.
Oh, my God.
Those shirts keep getting tighter and tighter
around the biceps.
A military man.
Okay.
Uniform.
Surgeon and pilot.
Those are the five professions that she has said.
Now, four out of those five have a uniform.
Well, actually, a surgeon.
The surgeons and little scrubs.
All have uniforms.
All have uniforms.
That's not the common thread there.
The common thread that she's identified is that men in these professions
are like in a godlike role.
They're powerful.
So if you're a policeman, you know, you're walking around,
you maybe got a gun.
You got a gun on your hip.
Just listen to you.
Do you think all of these jobs add...
Does a taser get you going as much as a gun?
No.
Mostly tasers and guns.
No, no.
That's hot.
That's hot.
But do you think all these professions
if they weren't
if you saw this person
whatever the man
looked like
if he wasn't
in one of these
professions or uniforms
he wouldn't be as hot
yeah absolutely
right
you can put an absolute
faggo in a military uniform
and I am
I am down
melting
yeah
but yeah
they're basically
it's basically saying like you walk around like surgeons.
I'm out here saving lives.
What are you doing with your life?
They could just be doing ingrown toenails.
Yeah, they could be.
Yeah.
Plucking out, you know, yeah, ingrown hairs.
Still though, if you leave one of those, you could lose a toe.
That's pretty powerful.
Yeah, that's true.
Out here saving lives.
So basically like they're treated all day with this huge amount of respect
and they come home and it's difficult for them to then be asked
to take out the trash or to listen to me in my day.
Right.
So yeah, that's the main reason is they can't be an equal.
Also, pilots would be away from home all the time
and they'd be stuck in a Holiday Inn somewhere.
Judy Free.
Yeah, that's true.
Hello,ume and alcohol
So many perfumes
And big bags of
M&M's
Yes
Toblerones
Oh
Yes please
Daddy
I would have thought
That the common thread was trauma
Because I remember
Yeah okay
I mean Aaron
Got into police college
And then went to drama school instead
He would have been a good policeman
Yeah
Mostly because he's like Massive A giant man And you wouldn't take him on No you wouldn't got into police college and then went to drama school instead. He would have been a good policeman. Yeah.
Mostly because he's like a giant man
and you wouldn't take him on.
No, you wouldn't.
But I remember my dad's best friend,
Red,
who was a cop,
he was like,
don't marry a cop
because they come home
with so much trauma.
Same with surgeons,
military people,
firemen.
I mean,
they would see a lot.
I'd love to just peel off that uniform and give them a shower
after a long day
saving lives
these are not red flags
for me, these are absolute green lights
the jaws of life
that thing that a fire team have got
and they can just absolutely cut open
anything
you'd be like, I can't open this jar
or this tin of peaches. He'd be like, wait
right there.
Chew through the peaches. It's hot, man.
Peaches everywhere. It's hot. But it's hot.
Who cares? Who cares? It is so silly, silly, silly That silly little pole Silly little pole

Are you currently in your dream job?
Yes
Or no
69%
Nice
Said no
They're not in their dream job
It's just over two thirds of people Are in their dream job I mean I'd say I'm in my dream job. It's just over two thirds of people
in their dream job.
I mean,
I'd say I'm in my dream job.
I would say I'm in
probably the only job
I'm capable of doing.
So my proxy,
it's a dream.
Also true for me.
Someone just actually
messaged in.
Yeah.
I'm 100% in my dream job
working as an exotic
animal keeper.
I work with giraffes,
zebra,
nyala, and so much more.
I assume they work at an Auckland zoo or a banana park.
Wow.
Banana Rama or a Rama park.
I mean, some people, this has always been an interesting conversation for me because I went to drama school.
It was a real follow your dreams education.
Yeah.
Whereas a lot of my friends who I would say like have normal jobs,
like they work in insurance or real estate, they didn't have a dream job.
Yeah.
In their head, they didn't have a dream job.
They have a dream life, which is like holidays and family and some money.
And so that job just gives them that money that they need.
Just provides that.
Provides the means.
It's too large a part of your day to hate your job.
It's five days a week most of the time.
Yeah.
Well, Abby messaged saying, I'm not in my dream job because I'm still
holding on to my dream of being a weather presenter.
That's what I wanted to be when I was a little kid.
Yeah, there's something fun about the weather presenter because I think
they just come on at the end, eh?
They always just popped up at the end, eh?
They always just popped up at the end.
Quirky.
They're always a bit quirky.
Yeah.
Got to have a little couple of sayings up the sleeve.
Harder than it looks, though.
Oh, yeah.
You've got to know about your anti-cyclones,
your tropical cyclones.
Your low-pressure systems.
Yeah.
It's not just reading it either.
You actually have to be a, what's the term?
A meteorologist.
A meteorologist. A meteorologist.
Yeah, that helps.
Kyra said, I just quit my dream job today but I'm staying in the industry just in a
different company. Oh, what kind of
job was that? I don't know what that is. She doesn't say.
I don't know the job. She doesn't go on to say what kind of job
that is. Byron
says, I just got a job flying float
planes in the Maldives.
Oh my god.
Is that a dream job?
That's a dream job.
We might be your dream passengers, actually.
What about I get there and I'll be like,
it won't start again.
Like, alright.
Get the mechanic out here.
I'm going to be in the bar. And then I run to the
bar and drink too much. And then they're like, we fixed your
plane. Nothing was wrong with it. I'll be like, I'm flying now. You the bar. And then I run to the bar and drink too much. And then they're like, we fixed your plane. Nothing was wrong with it.
I'll be like, I'm flying.
You'd be the worst pilot ever.
Can I sleep on that couch, please?
I'm going to need three days in the Maldives to recover.
Rachel said, I was a primary school teacher
and thought my dream job would be a snowboard instructor.
So I became a snowboard instructor for a couple of years,
only to realise that teaching is the tits and the best job ever.
Now I'm back teaching, doing my dream job.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
That's great.
At least you gave it a try.
Yeah, you've got to try these things.
You've got to try these things.
You can always go back to it, can't you?
Yeah, especially teachers.
There's a teacher shortage.
And accounting, says Natalie.
Our dream job is a supermarket cashier.
I love scanning items and no stress or deadlines.
I can go home and forget all about it.
Self-scanners are my jam.
Oh, you'd love a box.
So she's a high-pressure accountant there.
Okay.
Obviously, people's financial futures
At the moment as well,
she'll really be feeling it
into the financial year.
E-O-F-Y.
Yeah.
E-O-F-Y,
end of financial year.
E-O-F.
If I could have that
by the end of E-O-F-Y there, Natalie. E-O-F-Y. Yeah, but she just wants, End of Financial Year. If I could have that by the end of EOFY then, Natalie.
EOFY.
Yeah, but she just wants the...
That's the thing.
Some people are qualified to do really intense, high-paying, stressful jobs
that just opt for a lower-paying, less stress, walk away at the end of the day job.
Stress will kill you.
Sam Elliott says...
Sam Elliott?
Yeah, not... He says sorry for
Sorry for the homophobic comments
regarding Power Over the Door.
He did say that. He did say yesterday.
I really like Sam Elliot and that was disappointing, but he's apologised.
Which is quite big for an old dude.
Wait, but we've cancelled him. No!
No, we're un-cancelling. Oh, okay.
Yeah, apologies is a thousand words.
A partial lifting of the cancellation.
He's on a suspended sentence of cancellation.
No, this is a Samantha Elliot.
Okay.
I am not on my dream job because I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up.
Yeah.
Okay.
So there you go.
I've got friends like that that don't really.
Oh, because I've just always wanted to do radio and I did it.
Yeah.
But yeah, I had friends who went to uni and they changed.
Hotted around for a bit and changed.
And then don't even use their degree and work in a different industry now.
Yeah, now they've got like a little shop online for macrame hangers.
Same friend.
Dream job, same friend.
I saw a macrame hanger for a hat.
Oh, okay.
You're right.
A cowboy hat.
I thought that would actually be a good way of storing the hats
because when you stack your hats, your coobras, they lose shape.
They do.
Curl.
Yeah, so put me in touch with this friend of yours that sells macabre.
How am I supposed to say this?
Macabre.
Macamre.
Macrame.
Macrame.
Hathangers.
Ridiculous.
Don't shite on her dream job.
Next on the show.
Doing radio is ridiculous.
It is ridiculous. It is ridiculous. Yeah, listen to me. Listen to me. Good morning. Listen to me. Next on the show. Doing radio is ridiculous. It is.
It is ridiculous.
Yeah, listen to me.
Listen to me.
Good morning.
Listen to me.
God knows how long,
how it's lasted this long.
Play ZN's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
There is a Vaughn Smith making headlines around the world,
but he's V-A-U-G-H-N.
Oh.
He's not a vegan.
He's not a vegan.
Right.
He's Vaughn Smith
and he is a polyglot.
Yes.
Now, that's when you have like five wives, eh?
No, that's polyamorous.
Oh, okay.
Polyglot is a person that can speak multiple languages.
24 languages is what he's capable of.
He's a carpet cleaner.
Isn't that what someone said?
Like when you learn a language, it's easier to learn another one?
Yeah, definitely.
I'm like, oh, stop showing off.
Especially your Latin-based.
Once you learn Latin-based,
you've got Italian.
Or the other Latin-based Italian.
Is that called the Romance languages?
I guess so.
Yeah, have you ever heard people...
And there's the Germanic languages.
That's not love-making language.
When he says he speaks 24 languages,
is he like, bonjour, that's one.
Konnichiwa, that's two.
So conversationally fluent in 24,
knows up to four more.
But he would be able to identify enough words
and to kind of try to keep up.
That is the kind of like skill
that gets you recruited to be a spy, right?
Oh yeah.
Like surely spy agencies are knocking at his door.
I've always wanted to
learn a language
that you're in the country of. Like often I'm in Thailand.
Oh yeah. Often I'm in Thailand.
Often? How many times have you been
to Thailand? Like seven times.
Oh, okay. I love Thailand.
But I would love to learn the language.
If you were a male, that would sound very dodgy. Yeah, no it would. But I'd love to learn the language. If you were a male, that would sound very dodgy.
Yeah, no, it would.
But I'd love to learn the language because they definitely talk about you.
Oh, yes.
My favourite.
Especially my feet.
Or you're getting a massage, your main feet,
and they're talking to each other about your big yuck feet.
Your big mangy.
Yeah, big ass hooves.
Look at those horses' hooves.
I love stories.
And we've talked about it on the show before, when you understand.
Yes, like people who speak Mandarin,
and then I would just snap back and be like,
I speak Mandarin.
Yeah, I understand everything you're saying.
So technically he's a hyperpolyglot
because that is someone who can speak
11 languages or more.
Right.
So his name's Vaughan Smith.
He's a 46-year-old carpet cleaner.
In what country does he live?
America.
He does this in the Washington area.
Originally he said he would call himself of Mexican descent.
Yeah.
So, yeah, he can speak all these languages.
Now, that name, Vaughan Smith, obviously, there's not too many of us around.
Although there is because I keep getting bills for a guy in England.
Really?
Yeah, he gets stuff done to his rental property.
He mustn't live near his rental property
because it's all done online.
But his email address must be so similar to mine.
Okay.
Because I get heaps of,
hello, Mr. Smith, job completed.
Here's the receipt.
Please make payable in three days.
Do him a favour.
Just pay one.
Pay a couple of these bills.
Pay a couple.
One of them was like,
he must have had it re-plumbed
because it was thousands of pounds.
Oh, no, don't pay that one. Oh no don't pay that I wasn't paying that one
Pay like a
It was a door repair
It was a door repair
For a few pounds
I could take
Oh next time
I'm going to take that
You should
I looked up the address
Of the rental
Oh really
It looks like
Postman Pat's village
Oh cute
Yeah yeah
Stonewall
Like all the houses
Were all like
Slammed together
Really Postman Patty
Postman
Slash Coronation Street
Dorset Dorset, Dorset area.
Oh, lovely.
Yeah, lovely area.
So I get his emails, but now I'm getting tagged in all this guy Vaughan Smith's.
And you're even getting messages meant for him.
Yesterday I got one from Khan Suna and it says,
Sinin bin Aklini Sikimim.
And I was like, I don't know what that means.
Yeah.
So I copied it and pasted it into Google
And did like
Auto translate
To tech language
It was Turkish
Yeah
It was swear words
So I just swore
Okay great
And it was like
I'm here to
F with your mind
And I was like
Mind freak
I was like
I replied saying
Why would you do that
And then translated it
Into Turkish and sent it
And then he sent back
Another one saying
Oh I'm sorry about that.
My friends and I were having some drinks.
We heard how you speak 28 languages.
We wanted to test if one of them was Turkish.
So we sent you this to see if it is.
Congratulations on speaking other languages.
Fantastic.
But you use Google Translate.
To translate it back.
But they think you can speak Turkish.
So then I sent back another one saying,
ha, ha, ha, all good, wrong Vaughan Smith.
He's V-A-U-G-H-N and from America.
I'm V-A-U-G-H-N and I'm from New Zealand.
Right.
And he didn't want to talk anymore, so I guess that romance may, you know.
Wow.
Fling with my Turkish love is not happening anymore.
No.
Disappointingly so.
How many languages would our Vaughan Smith speak?
Half of one.
Put a really loose grasp on the England.
Half of England.
On the grand old England.
You speak a bit of England?
Yeah. A little bit of England here, a little bit of England there.
England?
Okay, that's a quarter of it. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Am I a bad person?
Well, we received a person wanting our input.
Yeah.
They want our two cents on a bit of a conundrum they are faced with at the moment.
And it's very topical at the moment, something that maybe a lot of us are going through.
Well, and this is where we ask you, the nation, to weigh in.
Is this person a bad person?
Listen up.
Here's the email we received.
I live in a flat.
Hey, awesome,
hey, awesome team.
There was no intro,
so I'll just add that on.
Hey, awesome, awesome team.
Hey, rad dudes.
Love you so much.
Hey, you sick broadcasters.
Man, you guys are sexy.
Yeah.
They definitely wrote that.
Anyway.
You big group of 10 out of 10s.
Yeah. I live in a flat with four girls big group of 10 out of 10s. Yeah.
I live in a flat with four girls and I've been working harvest for the last three weeks.
Harvest?
Plucking or the harvest food and wine festival?
Oh, maybe those harvest, no, you know those harvest snaps that I love?
What are those?
Those pea snaps.
I love those pea snaps.
La la la.
That's mullet up.
By the way, I'll mention this again, that is mullied up pea that is then put into pea pod shaped moulds.
I don't care.
And then deep fried.
Yeah.
You're not eating a whole deep fried pea pod.
I don't care about that.
I knew that.
They're delicious.
I just want to inform people because when I was first told, it was an awakening of sorts.
Also, I'm pretty sure harvest is like the grapes because my friend makes wine and they just finished harvest.
It's grape harvest, yeah.
I've been working harvest for the last three weeks,
so literally have been working 100-hour weeks.
Yesterday I found out that I have COVID and need to isolate.
I messaged my flatmate straight away to make a plan with them.
That was the whole thing, though, make a plan.
Make a plan.
One has already had COVID, so she was okay to stay in the house.
One will stay with her boyfriend,
and one of them can stay with her parents who live in town.
I came home from work, where she was at work when she tested positive.
Yeah.
And the flatmate that has family here called to say
that she wants me to go and stay at her parents
because they had already had COVID.
Wait.
She wants her to go and stay at someone's house that's not her parents.
Yeah.
So the girl who, the flatmate,
who has not had COVID,
has parents in town
that she could go and stay with,
but instead she was like,
why don't I just stay at home
and you go stay with them
because they've had COVID.
Because they're your parents.
You don't want to go and stay
with someone's random parents.
When you're sick.
Well, this is exactly her point.
She said,
I, being super exhausted
and just wanting my bed,
burst into tears and hung up. The flatmates
proceeded to move out.
The one staying with her boyfriend has been super understanding
about it. The one who is at her parents
is really angry at me
that she has to stay with her parents and can't
stay in the flat that she's paying rent for.
I did message this morning saying that
I could stay with her parents too, but ideally
I want to sleep in my own bed while I'm sick and
vulnerable, and I don't want to have to
socialise with people that I don't know.
I wouldn't even consider the option.
If someone said, go and stay with my parents,
I'd be like, no, they're your parents.
I'm staying with your parents.
Am I a bad person for making her pay rent
and then her having to stay at her parents?
Brackets. Rent free
and free food, I might add.
Thanks for any advice.
Oh, she's not a bad person.
She's not a bad person.
I don't think we're going to get anyone ringing up saying that she's a bad person.
And if that other flatmate wants to stay at home, then she just isolates and stays at home.
Yeah.
I mean, we were just saying this before off-air.
Like, so many people in the same household aren't catching it off each other.
Yeah.
A friend of mine, they're a couple.
They live on their own
and she managed to avoid
getting COVID off him
because they just wore masks
and like he would eat
with the door open.
Did she sleep next to him?
No, no, no.
She slept in another room.
Right.
In an air bed.
No, you're not a bad person.
Oh, I would have made him
have the air bed.
Oh my God, you're sick.
You just want to be
in your own company
and not talk to anyone.
Not like,
hi Mrs. Johnson,
thanks for dinner.
Here's my dishes.
Yeah, and then you're
at some random
parents' place.
It's no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
We can't be having that.
Look, it's just,
it sucks.
It's COVID.
It sucks.
Mrs. Johnson,
I need water.
I've got a fever.
That's wild.
Yeah.
I don't think anyone's
going to think she's a bad person.
No.
For this, surely not.
She's wanting to stay at her own home.
All right, well, we want to take your calls.
0800-DARLS-IT-IN, 9696.
Is she a bad person for wanting her friend, her flatmate,
to go and stay with her parents while she's got COVID
so she can isolate happily at home?
And not go and stay with her flatmate's parents
who she doesn't know.
Maybe you've been in the situation
where the flats,
it's torn the flat apart.
Maybe you have had COVID
and it was a bit of a weird sitch with flatties.
All right.
Am I a bad person?
We have been reached out to
by someone who's asking,
am I a bad person?
After one of their flatmates,
they've got COVID,
the person that's emailed,
and one of their flatmates was like
well I don't want to
move out of the flat
so why don't you go
and stay at my
parents house
their parents
rather than me
going and staying
with my parents
because they've
already had COVID
so she asked
am I a bad person
for wanting her
to go and stay
with the parents
and not me
because I'm sick
with COVID
and I just want to
be in my own bed
that's ridiculous we're all in agree own bed. That's ridiculous. We're
all in agreeance on this. She's not a bad person.
She's not a bad person. What are the people
saying? She's not a bad person
at all. Why should the sick person have to move
into somebody else's parents place and also
have to pay rent as well when they're sick?
Oh God. Someone said
also you can catch it again.
Sure having it improves
your immunity for 90 days,
but her flatmate is also putting her parents at risk.
Yeah, so, I mean, when did they get it?
If they got it early on, they could get the new strain
and you end up killing your parents.
Well, yeah, you can get it again.
You can just keep getting it if you had, yeah, a bad immunity.
All right, let's take some calls.
Jordan, what do you think?
Is she a bad person?
No, not at all.
I was just saying before that I actually got COVID
and my flat actually kicked me out.
What?
Yeah, rather than them all finding somewhere else.
They told me that I had to leave while I was sick.
And so imagine picking up when you're sick.
So not at all.
Kill it as her ground.
But where did you go?
Where did you go?
Luckily, I had my folks' batch was about an hour north of where we were.
So I was able to go there and stay by myself, which was nice.
But at the same time, it's a little bit of a misch to move when you're really sick and
all you want to do is stand there.
And you couldn't have been able to get food.
You're going to stay at a batch an hour away from your life.
Yeah, so yeah, I had to have my family bring me food
and everything like that.
I guess it's awesome because did your flat have a conversation
when it was all going down, the whole COVID thing,
and make a plan or just no?
I think the head people of my flat
kind of just came together and were like, well, we don't
want to get it. We still want to go to work
and yeah, the best solution
for them. The majority, yeah.
The survivor island
majority, you got kicked off.
Yeah, pretty much.
When did you get it? When it was still
household contacts had to isolate?
Yeah, when we were still in the 10-day.
Yeah, so you've been isolating anyway.
You can kind of see why this virus spread, guys.
Jordan, thanks for your call.
Rangi, good morning.
Good morning, team.
What do you think?
Is she a bad person?
Nah, not at all.
Her flatmate's just been a diva.
Yeah.
100%. 100%, we agree.
Yeah, she's like,
she's sick and she expects her to go
spend time with her mum who, like you
said, she doesn't even know or anything like that.
Nah, fuck that. Like, seriously.
I wouldn't even do it with my ex-wife's mum.
Do you reckon the flatmate is like,
maybe she's a smoker
You know
And you know when like
You were young
And you started having some ciggies
And you didn't tell your mum and dad
Maybe that's why
She doesn't want to go
Stay with her parents
She's like
I can't have durries
At mum and dad's
Yeah and she's probably
Got tattoos and stuff as well
And mum and dad
Don't know anything about it
She's got a tattoo on her back
She's like
I don't even sit here
She gets dressed up
Into her
Her
Nunnery outfit
Yes
Her habits
Her habits
Of course she goes to her parents
And then
Kicks it off,
smokes a durian,
gets another tattoo.
All right,
thanks.
You call some messages in.
Yeah,
pretty much everybody
is in agreeance.
She's not a bad person.
Her flatmate's off the chain,
lost her brain.
She's feeling sick,
awful,
probably a little bit scared
and the flatmate's like,
go and stay with my parents
who you don't know.
Yeah,
that's insane.
Someone said,
are these flatmates
not household contacts
So they have to isolate anyway
Not anymore
Not anymore, yeah
But it's still seven days
Oh, is it still household contacts?
Because if my kids get it
Oh yes, of course, it's not close contacts
It's household contacts
You're infectious two days before you show symptoms
So yeah, they should have been isolating
Altogether anyway
So yeah Not a bad person days before you show symptoms. Yes. So, yeah, they should have been isolating altogether anyway.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
Not a bad person.
Not a bad person.
We agree.
Overwhelming.
No.
Good luck with your recovery of COVID-19.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Today's fact of the day is about World War I.
Okay.
With Anzac Day approaching, I was talking about World War I to my daughters last night.
And August said, I don't know a little something about World War I.
She's been full of facts lately.
She said, Dad, do you know how long the longest ice hockey game in the world ever went for?
I was like, I don't even know how long an ice hockey game goes for.
Do you know how long an ice hockey game goes?
It feels like an hour is a long time to be skating and punching
and hitting and pucking.
An ice hockey game has a total of 60 minutes of playing time in regulation.
However, it works out to two and a half to three hours
because they do what basketball does and always...
American football's shocking for it as well.
Big break in the middle.
It's starting.
Okay, so you're going to be sitting out...
I don't know how long.
I can't remember how long she told me for.
Where's she getting her facts from?
I don't know where she's getting her facts from.
Maybe a YouTuber that she watches is pumping out the facts.
Oh, yeah, probably.
You've got to come back to Dad for the original facts.
For the fact of the day.
For the fact of the day.
Fact man.
We were talking about World War I, and she said the trenches,
because I was talking about the trenches.
Yeah.
Familiar with trench warfare?
Mm-hmm.
Dug the six foot deep, at least six foot deep trenches. You can see
at that Te Papa
exhibition, an amazing kind of like
show how trenching was done.
The movie 1917.
There's a lot of trenches in 1917.
That's a great movie.
I went to Gallipoli a few years
back and not all of
them, but a lot of the trenches are still there.
Redug some of the trenches. You can't go in them.
Oh can you? No, the ones that are the OG
trenches, you
can't go in them. Well world historic sites
they were a road, the weather
was quite bad and
the wood along the bottom
were called duck boards, the idea of keeping the feet
dry but very rarely did it because
the wood would pool in the bottom and the foot rot and all the
problems with the feet. But today's fact
of the day about a horrible foot
rot. Yeah. Because when it was cold it
would just be freezing cold the entire time.
Under constant fire.
And then when it was hot it would just turn into a
muggy mosquito laden
What's the thing? Malaria?
Malaria tearing through.
But today's fact of the day is
if all the trenches that were dug along the Western Front were laid end to end,
they would go around the world at the equator.
Wow.
Crazy, right?
So the World War I started in 1914, ended in 1918.
And in that time, soldiers dug the equivalent of around the world in six foot deep trenches.
Wow. Okay. Holy
Moses. So the quickest way to dig a trench was just
to get a spade and start dig a ruin. Well no
diggers were there really back then?
No. No. No. No. No. Couldn't just get.
They were called diggers. Yeah. The guys that
did it. Yeah. So they
would dig. The quickest way was just to dig down
but of course that's also very dangerous because you're exposed to the
fire until you dig deep enough to kind of like crouch in the trench.
Yeah.
The other way to do it was just to extend the trench out the end.
Apparently, that wasn't as quick.
And the slowest but the safest way to do it was to dig a tunnel
and then when you were ready, just cave the roof in.
Oh.
No thanks.
No, yeah, that sounds dodgy.
It's like you've been just digging and you're digging your tunnel
and all of a sudden you don't know, but you've gone down a few foot
and then you cave it in and you're caving in on top of yourself.
Just something to think about when you're feeling hard done by.
Sleeping in on Anzac morning.
Yeah.
Just when you're like, you hear the rubbish truck coming,
so you run down your driveway with the bin, but you miss it
and you're like, this is the worst thing that I can possibly imagine.
Yes, oh my God.
Or turn on the TV and see the trenches possibly imagine. Yes. Oh, my God. This life sucks.
Or turn on the TV and see the trenches the Ukrainians have dug in their own cities.
Yeah.
Do you know what the least we could do is get out of bed on Anzac morning and go to the morning parade.
Morning dawn service and a morning parade.
Absolutely.
So today's fact of the day is if all the trenches that were dug along the Western Front in World War I were laid end to end,
they would stretch around the world at the equator.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Well, I've been sharing a little bit about this.
I've been working with a nutritionist for the last three months
to try to get to the bottom,
just trying to get right to the bottom,
of some of my gut health issues.
So for those that don't know, what is the issue?
Well, I've just got these food allergies that keep popping up
and it's new foods all the time and I get this massive bloating
and I'm not pooping.
Is it all the
cruscets you ate?
Hey, don't come at me
about the cruscets.
It's got nothing to do with cruscets.
But no, some people with IBS
they go the other way.
They get the squits
and I'm the opposite. I would way. They get the squits. Yeah. And I'm the opposite.
I would love a bit of the squits.
So your IBS is a handbrake, not an accelerator?
Yeah, it's a handbrake.
I don't know what it is.
I don't want to give a name to it because then it makes it scary.
Anyway, so I've been like eliminating all these foods.
Haven't had onions, garlic, mushroom, cauliflower for a long time.
The FODMAPs, the highest of the FODMAPs.
Take away onion and garlic.
Wait, so are we doing the cauliflower popcorn
on Friday's boozy lunch?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I'll be
tooty and a bit uncomfortable, but I'm going to wear a stretchy
dress.
And it'll be good because when you get tooty it'll blow up
a little bit. Yeah, yeah, like Marilyn Monroe.
Okay, because I love the cauliflower
popcorn. Imagine if Marilyn Monroe
just had an adverse reaction that day
when she was over the grate.
She was like,
Happy birthday, Mr. President.
And that's why she sounds so strainy.
She's trying to hold it in and it's escaping in the dresses.
Well, nothing seems to be working for me.
Like, we've tried so many things.
Try high-dose vitamin C.
That's supposed to absolutely run right through you.
So I had that.
And then we added the MG Lax, like the high magnesium.
Then there was a day, do you remember?
And I was doing both.
I had about three of the MG Laxes and two of the vitamin Cs.
Nada.
Have you had a colonic irrigation?
Have you tried that?
We're looking into it.
Can't speak highly enough of those.
I keep a poo diary.
What if I might have spent 40 minutes?
I'll just show you very quickly.
Poos, this is my note on my phone.
Wait, can I read my note?
No, because I do little reviews of my poos.
A little poo review.
Because it says Monday.
Yeah, Monday.
And then I say the time and the consistency.
Anyway.
And then so when you go to the nutritionist,
she used to read your poo diary.
Yeah, well, I like tell her how it was
and like what I ate and stuff.
Anyway, so we're at the point now
where like things aren't working. She said, now look, this might not be a cup of tea. And I said, please don't say do yoga. And she said, no, I tell her how it was and what I ate and stuff. Anyway, so we're at the point now where things aren't working.
She said, now, look, this might not be a cup of tea.
And I said, please don't say do yoga.
And she said, no, it's not yoga.
She said, it's hypnotherapy to help strengthen the mind-gut connection.
So you've got to go to a rugby club fundraising hypnotherapy night.
And they're like, all right, Whitney.
And the guy walks out in the vest and he's like, all right, volunteers, volunteers.
And he was like, make me into a chicken.
And I'm like, make me do a shit.
Yeah.
And he's like, okay, this is a weird request.
But Caroline, you're going to be a chicken.
Hayley, you're going to do a poos.
Not here, not right now.
And poo.
And you're like.
Oh, I didn't mean right now.
Yeah.
So basically it's about, and they say, rather than, because a lot of people
who have IBS problems,
they eliminate
every single FODMAP,
which takes away
like an unbelievable
amount of food.
You won't even,
like the list of foods
you can eat is so bland.
It's not a life I want to live.
But this can be,
there's research,
real science research
that this can be
as effective
as a low FODMAP diet.
So I'm giving it a go.
It's a six week course.
So you go
to see a hypnotherapist.
Yeah, and you do some of it on an app as well,
kind of like a meditation, I guess,
but it's more hypnotising.
Does Gary Stiles do a voice for this one?
Because you know how he released the card?
He's like, hello, I'm Gary Stiles.
It's time to go to bed.
Come on, Gary.
It's time to do a poop.
Yeah, come on.
Michael Caine's like, I told you, only blow the bloody doors off.
I'm trying to blow the bloody doors off.
And they're shut.
They're firmly shut.
And so this would make you do it more regularly.
And it would also settle my stomach.
So it's not just about the poopsie-whoopsies.
It's about what's upsetting my stomach.
And my brain and my stomach are not in harmony.
So that's the beginning of the journey.
Can't they just run all these tests and find out what you're allergic to?
I've done a lot.
I've done it all.
Really?
Yeah.
You should eat that spicy chicken eye out the other day.
Good God.
That just absolutely got the fat rivers in overdrive.
I know.
I do need a bit of spice and also adrenaline.
That's what gets me moving.
Nerves, like high adrenaline.
So this weekend if I...
What if every morning we said we've booked you in for a bungee?
A bungee.
And then you get so nervous you have to use the bathroom.
Because you know that I don't drink coffee, which is also a great laxative.
Yeah, that's a huge problem that you don't drink coffee.
I think if you drink coffee, just try it.
It'll get the old.
No, no, no.
Because my mum drinks a lot of coffee.
She's had problems.
But I'm a bit jittery.
And I think coffee would see me the other way.
Anyway, that's the beginning of my six-week hypno poop therapy. Got to be careful because I had a friend who went to a hypnotherapy gastric band thing.
I know someone who did this.
So this is where they make you think you've had the operation.
Yeah.
And then you eat less.
You kind of believe that you've had it.
So he did this and then the guy died.
So what did he come to do?
So he didn't finish the course.
The hypnotherapist guy.
How far through did he get?
The first day.
He did the first session, I think.
Did the band get put on?
Well, yeah, it got put on.
I haven't chatted to him since.
I should ask him how that's going.
Follow up.
But, you know, it would be like the guy puts you under
and you're a chicken and then he dies.
He dies before he ends.
And then you're forever, you're a chicken.
Oh, no.
Wouldn't be bad with the ban, though.
Forever, you're just sort of a little skinny mini.
You don't get the ban taken off, right?
When you reach your gastric weight, does the ban fall off?
It restretches so that you can go back to eating a normal amount.
Right.
So these people that do, your hypnotherapy and the gastric band hypnotherapy,
do they also do fundraising parties to make people chickens?
Yeah, side hustle.
I don't think there's a lot of money in hypnotising people to do a poop.
I like there's some good advice coming in.
Oh, okay.
IBS-C.
It's a type of
irritable bowel. Someone said they've got it as well.
That C stands for constipation.
Oh. Someone get some
poo brew. Have you heard of poo brew?
No. I don't know what poo brew is either.
Is it a tea? Maybe it's a tea. Have you tried Metamucil?
I've tried, oh mate.
I'm made of Metamucil. If you haven't already
get your ejection fraction
rate of your gallbladder checked.
Ejection fraction rate checked.
I don't know what that is.
I'm getting it all done.
I can recommend a book.
I want the nation to feel responsible for my bowel movements.
You should walk into the uni med school and be like, have that.
Have a go.
Have a hoon.
Have a hoon.
Gut health for your skin is another one.
A couple of people have messaged that book.
And here's probably my favorite medicinal remedy.
Owl girl, have you tried having some moldy kai like a boil up?
Always guarantees a good shit the next day for me.
I'm on board.
I want a boil up.
I want a boil up.
Give me some of them dough boys.
We're having a dough boy heavy boil up.
Pork bones.
Boil up time, baby.
Good luck.
Thanks.
Now, with a musical that's playing in a store when you walk in,
apparently very important, not just to set the atmosphere,
but also different sorts of music can make you spend different amounts of money.
Oh, really?
I find it weird when you walk into a store and there's no music.
67% of people would leave the venue.
I would leave.
Really?
I would absolutely leave.
If they walked in, there was absolute silence.
I believe that the person working there was a psychopath.
Yeah.
And I would leave the venue immediately.
Probably a librarian.
Yeah.
Got, you know, out of a job and the downsizing.
When I left high school, I worked in retail for a couple of years
in a kind of high-end store.
And we were allowed to put on anything we liked, really, on our iPods.
That was iPods.
iPods.
Yeah, on our iPods out the back.
That was, like, inoffensive enough.
Right.
And I always remember the day that I was listening to Michael Jackson.
I had a Michael Jackson playlist on, and someone came in,
they were like, oh, God, RIP. And I was like, what? Like, Michael Jackson died. I was like to Michael Jackson. I had a Michael Jackson playlist on and someone came in, they were like, oh God, RIP.
And I was like, what?
Like Michael Jackson died.
I was like, what?
You put on a Michael Jackson playlist the day he died.
Yeah, but I didn't know he died.
Oh, wow.
I didn't know he died and someone was like,
oh, that's so sad.
I thought you were going to say you were working there
when the sexual navigation surfaced.
No, no, this was well before.
Well before.
And also well after.
That's why I was listening to it.
Right in the middle bit. Right. Yeah, probably. No, no, this was well before. Well before. And also well after. That's why I was listening to it. Right in the middle bit.
Right.
Yeah, probably.
Yeah, right.
Because some people work in retail and the music drives them crazy,
like more than the customers.
Well, it was why I had to leave Supreme.
Right.
Trust me, I moved some units of those T-shirts
that said wildly derogatory comments about the young females wearing them.
Gosh, I could convince. I know. I could convince mums it was a good idea to those t-shirts that said wildly derogatory comments about the young females wearing them. Gosh, I could convince.
I know.
I could convince mums
it was a good idea to buy t-shirts
calling their daughter the S word.
Absolutely.
12 year olds.
Yeah.
I could sell anything.
So pop music is apparently the genre
that encourages people to spend the most
and buy the most when they're out shopping.
Because you feel good.
It's an upbeat song.
Yeah.
And apparently also more likely to encourage you to buy clothes
you could see yourself like exercising in.
Oh, okay.
Because they believe it's the tempo.
Well, what do they play when you go into Lululemon?
I don't know.
Probably like trap music.
It wouldn't be as, it wouldn't be right.
Super hard out
Would it
Or anything like
A rebel sport
A rebel sport
You play some up music
Yeah rebel sports
Yeah
Rebel sports usually
You've got the radio on
I thought rebel radio
They had their own radio station
In rebel sports
Well do they
I'm going to work after here
Eyeing up a job there
Oh really
Rebel radio
And then I want to get a job
At the chemist warehouse radio station
Oh that's where I was planning on
Chemist warehouse
That's a good spot.
Staff discounts.
Yeah.
You know, I love the multivitamins.
So pop music's also 37% more likely to encourage people to try a different haircut when they're getting their haircut.
No.
Really?
Classic music could get 31% of diners to order more expensive items off the menu.
Oh, okay.
They think they're a little bit posh.
Yeah.
Can I get a bottle of that?
And is this Vivaldi?
Yeah.
This is four seasons.
This sounds like winter to me.
You're like, I'm not going to get the cheapest bottle.
I'll get the second cheapest bottle.
Which did you know?
It's always the cheapest bottle.
It's always the cheapest.
Yeah.
It's like trick those tricksy bastards.
I know.
So yeah, apparently pop music's the one to play
if you work in a store and you want people to spend money.
Rock music and soul music made people braver
with shopping decisions.
So not necessarily spending more money,
but more likely to buy something that they wouldn't usually.
Like I'm going to do a crop singlet, said Vaughn.
It's the example.
Yeah.
Why the hell not?
You look great in a crop top.
Is that Jimi Hendrix?
Yeah, I'll have a crop.
Crop, shorter, shorter.
Shorter, have you got any hot pants to go with this crop?
Can we make this more of a bralette?
Yeah, cut the nipples out too.
Over 60s were more likely to spend money
if they heard music that was popular in their youth.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, you're taking them back.
Yeah.
So could you relate that to online shopping?
If you online shop with music, your favourite music?
Probably.
Perhaps.
So death metal. So maybe if you don't want to spend so much money, Hayley,
I'm not looking at anyone in particular,
don't listen to music while online shopping.
Zeddy's $100,000
secret sound.
Soundkeeper
Ours is in. Hi.
$100,000 is the money up
for grabs thanks to Neon if you can identify
this sound.
So easy.
Why are we in week five?
It's so easy.
So easy.
I've still got no idea.
Really? None?
No, I don't actively
want to know either.
I'm not trying to figure it out because I like not knowing.
Okay.
Because sometimes when I have figured it out,
there have been a couple of occasions where maybe before it went,
I figured it out.
And every time I open my mouth, I'm like, don't say it.
Yeah, the pressure builds.
So much pressure.
I don't need that in my life.
I watched your latest clue, Alza,
of you walking through the op shop, Junk and Disorderly.
I love that.
That's where my drinks trolley's from, actually.
Oh, la, la.
It's an old hospital trolley.
Oh, it's very cool.
Really? That's cool.
But I watched it once and I was like,
don't watch it again because then you'll spot it.
And then I'll be like, I know what it is,
and then I'll say it.
No, you're good.
All right, Katie joins us.
Good morning, Katie.
Morning.
Morning. Morning.
How are you?
Have you watched the video?
Did you send your guess in there?
Yeah, I've been doing a lot of research to the point where my boyfriend thinks I'm a bit mad.
He won't think you're mad when you're $100,000 richer.
I know, that's what I said.
Don't give him any.
Okay, well, Katie.
You've never believed in me.
Yeah.
Katie, for $100,000, what does this sound?
I did the coordinates, and I know that farmers used to be there,
and so I was thinking that it would be a mannequin being put together.
Wow, that's deep.
A mannequin being clipped.
You did the coordinates on Junk and
Disorderly. Yeah, yeah.
And is there a mannequin
in that video? There's a mannequin
in the video and I was thinking in
that office,
Dwight, they do first aid on a mannequin
and then Dwight puts the face on his
face. Yes. Oh my god, this is
a good, you've done your research.
I can't breathe right now because I think this is such a good piece. Oh my god, this is a good, you've done your research. I can't think of the answer right now because I think this is such a good
piece. Oh sorry, on their
scrabble board, you can spell the word
plastic. Okay.
Oh my god, Katie!
This is so good. Also, I used to work
in retail and we used to always have to take the arms
and that off the mannequins and put the tops on.
And there is like a real plastic going into
plastic sounds. I just want to know if Katie's
found a mannequin
and tried to rip it off.
Yeah, did you go into a glaissance?
Tackle a farm as well.
No, no, I didn't.
What was that store that used to have the mannequins
with the massive, like, spacey cartoon heads?
I hate mannequins because at some time,
it's happened to me so many times in stores,
I'm like, and I always see them out the corner of my eye,
and I'm like, oh, sorry.
And then I realise that they're a mannequin And there was that mannequin in Ballantines
That looked like you
That's right
Yeah I've got a mannequin that looks like me
In Ballantines in Christchurch
I don't know if they've still got those ones
It survived the Ballantines fire
And the earthquakes
Yeah
Well I think it's
Mannequin man's hearty
It's Dorian
It's your Dorian Gray
Yeah
The mannequin ages
And he stays looking the same age
Yeah
Jesus Christ Accident invincible Who knew we could talk about mannequins. The mannequin ages and he stays looking the same age. Jeepers.
Accident invincible.
Who knew we could talk about mannequins?
If the mannequin dies, Fletch dies.
No.
Oh, really?
Someone save the mannequin.
Shoot.
Okay, we were right?
Yeah, I think we're good.
Katie?
For $100,000, we're locking it in.
A mannequin clicking.
I can't look up. I can't look up.
I can't look up.
Katie.
Yep.
That is not the secret sound.
Are you kidding me?
You just trampled through that one.
Katie's boyfriend's going to say, I told you so.
Yeah, I won't tell him.
Yeah, just don't tell him.
Don't tell him. No, just don't tell him.
Say that you won it and you're leaving him in there.
It'll be a whole fun game.
Drama. Alright, well Katie,
great research but it's not correct.

Soundkeeper Alves is in Hello
And joining us this morning is Lisa
Good morning Lisa
Good morning Lisa
Hi
How are you?
Good, I'm really good
You've got through with the jackpot at $100,000
Yes
All you've got to do is tell us what this sound is.
And the money's yours.
Okay.
I think it is the sound on a bicycle when you change the gears.
Oh, yeah.
I had a real cheap bike, so mine was more like...
And sometimes it would skip and you'd go...
Your little legs go too far.
Oh, you just fall off.
I fell off quite a few times.
Yeah, same, same.
It hurts.
You've got to get back on that bike.
Yeah.
I'm too scared.
What, you still don't ride a bike?
Can you ride a bike?
Push comes to shove.
Can I ride a bike?
What, are you Lisa Soundcare Bowles?
Everybody's bike riding status currently?
Yeah.
You can ride a bike?
Yeah, I can ride a bike.
I can, it's just poor form.
Right, okay.
You've got poor form.
You've got to look where you're going.
I reckon less kids can ride bikes these days than before.
You reckon?
Because we're not outside.
School was all about learning how to ride bikes.
Everywhere you went on a bike.
Yeah.
It was like, well, I need to get somewhere.
How am I going to get there?
I'm going to go on my bike.
And now, no.
Yeah.
You wouldn't let your kids ride.
Call an Uber.
Yeah.
Now they're going on bloody.
What are those things?
Is it scooters?
Scooters.
It's like you stand on.
Oh, the lines.
Segways.
Oh, segways.
You know kids in the future with their hubbub and their segways?
Yes.
All right, so a bike gear changing.
Lisa, have you tried this yourself?
I was out there yesterday.
Yeah.
Okay.
I was going to spend all morning sort of listening to the bike sounds,
and I'm like, hmm.
The latest. I can hear it. I can hear it. Yeah, I've gone and spent all morning sort of listening to the bike sounds and I'm like, hmm.
The latest... I can hear it.
I can hear it.
Yeah, I can hear it.
The latest clue, though, walking through the junk and disorderly store,
was there a bike in that video?
I'm not going to say.
I saw two bikes, actually.
I saw one on the wall and I saw one on the floor.
Sikes.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah. I can hear that. That's Okay. Yeah.
I can hear that.
That's a good guess.
We've had some good guesses today.
I know, but now I'm thinking about the other clues, which we all know are so...
Well, that's the thing.
The clues are always cryptic.
Cryptic as.
Lisa, we'll see if you've cracked them.
Okay.
We're locking it in.
Bike gear's changing.
Uh-huh.
For $100,000.
Yeah.
Oh, there's suspense.
Lisa, that is not the secret sound.
Oh, no.
Oh, no. No, I think you are.
All right, well, 11 o'clock with Georgia
