Yeah. It's so sad when you hear these because, like, yes, this is a happy day, fantastic for him and his family and all that, but you've lost all that time and you'll never get it back and they get these awesome payouts and you're like, cool, that's great. Life from now on is going to be sweet. But you also took away all that time. Well, he's the same age as me.

So he's from high school to now. You would have been in prison. Yeah, I was in prison. Isn't that nuts? The shenanigans, yeah. Tony actually sent this message in to us today when the news broke and said, I started listening to this because you guys are talking about it. Thank you, Tony.

Thank you, Tony, for alerting us to that breaking news. I raised this question earlier, and I thought we could re-debate it now. Would you do X amount of years in prison for a multi-million dollar payout? How many years for how many millions? Not Anand Saeed years. Your prime years of your life are gone. Okay. Okay, would you do five years in prison for $20 million? No, but I'll do one for four.

No, that's not on the table. But then when you've been in for one year, it's not on the table, Vaughn. Five years, 20 mil. What about two and a half years, 20 mil. What about- You can choose- Two and a half years for 10 mil. I'm just breaking it down here. No.

By what you're paying per year. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's not divisible. Yep. Five years, 20 million. When? Starting now? Starting now.

Or would I have gone on when I was- Starting now. Starting now or getting out now? Five years ago, I was 28. No. 28 to 33. Prime years. Prime years.

Prime years, but also. I'll do it when the girls leave home. I'll do five years. Oh, yeah, because you've got kids. You can't miss five years. There's no period of five years from high school till now where something major hasn't happened. You'll miss graduation. Dude, your oldest daughter in five years

is going to be 15. Nearly 16. She's going to be smoking the durries. She's going to be out in the town. OTP. Oh no, no. We'll be getting down. Trying new drugs that don't exist now. Oh my god, imagine the fun.

You should be smoking some Clayzardia. God, all the kids in five years are going to be all over the Clayzardia. Oh, my God. Do you want a line of clay? Oh, we're doing lines? I thought we were smoking clay. You can do both. Okay.

Well, Clayzardia for everybody. I don't think I'd give up five years for 20 mil. Yeah. I will in five years coming, but not now. Nah. Be good at retirement. Yeah, but then I don't think I'd give up five years for 20 mil. Yeah. I will in five years coming but not now. Nah. Be good at retirement. Yeah, but then you don't...

Like we finish up here. Yeah, but the things you could have missed. I'm not going to another radio station. I'm done after this. So, you know, five years,

three squares, gyms, make some good friends, some powerful connections and then come out $20 million richer and there's my retirement. Yeah, probably learn

something in there. Yeah. At the prison library. Yeah, probably learn something in there. Yeah. At the prison library. Yeah. We did speak earlier how Jared, our producer Jared, might fear in the prison system. This is no way you're taking this offer. You wouldn't do any amount of years in prison for any amount of money.

No way. I am a 5'7", svelte, little dude. Gorgeous. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. You'd be straight to the top, I reckon. I would be passed around. Straight to the bottom, to be fair.

I'd be passed around like currency. No, see, this is what I've got to tell you. On your first day, you find the biggest, toughest guy in there. So what, Jared walks up to a seven foot guy. Yeah. And he does what? And you fuck him up. You fucking clock him.

Yeah, you fuck him. You establish yourself as the alpha. I'll just get a little step ladder. Yeah. How would you go about that? Have you seen

where little, so in the horse mating ritual there's this little horse called a teaser and the female horse is in the pen and they know that it's ovulation time and the little horse called a teaser. Yeah. And the female horse is in the pen. Yeah.

And they know that it's ovulation time and the little horse starts nipping at the female to get her in the mood. And he's called the teaser. He teases her eye. So that's Jared. You're encouraging Jared to walk into prison. Yeah. And start nipping at the heels of the big boys.

Start nipping at these big boys. Right. Yeah. Assert your authority. Let them know what's what. Okay. You know. I don't know about that

I just don't see it Working out for me To be fair What if they Well how do you know You haven't tried it Let's get Jared in prison Next week on the show

A semi farm There's sky Oh yeah It looks like A Tikwiti motel Yeah yeah But it's got a fence around it. That's where the investors that ripped off everybody,

your Bernie Madoff sorts of things, they literally ruined thousands of people's lives. But, oh, heaven forbid they should go in with the art of criminal. Yeah, it's on the floor right there. I'll do one of those. Yeah, maybe. The prison from Orange is the New Black, right? Like, that's not a huge main jail.

I'd go into a woman's prison. No, we've already established this. I still reckon you'd pass around for several years. Death by Snoo Snow. Wow. Jeez. Wow. Yep, that would happen.

What was that mining one you were playing?

Idle Miner. Idle Miner was great. He's a bit hooked. He leaves his phone on during the show. It's right next to him. It's always on the game. It's always one of those games that just kind of ticks along. Right.

Idle Miner was one of those ones. And what's this zombie game? Well, this one, zombie keeps coming and more and more waves of zombies and you've got to like upgrade your weapons and stuff. And I've got my player to the point where he can almost just by default take a wave of zombies and then you collect all their upgrades. Well, you're working. Just do this when you get home.

It's taking care of itself. See, this happens from time to time. And then it'll lose interest. And then a couple of months later, it'll be a new game. It'll be another one. Yeah. All right.

It's hot in here. It is hot in here. Yesterday, freezing. Today, hot. Yeah, air cons all over the show and the studio. We need some consistency. Could be your manopause, though. Could be manopause.

Could be manopause. I do have a bit of a, actually, a pinching headache behind the left eye. Okay. So that could be a tumor. Could be. I mean, yeah, sure. You don't know what's around the corner, do you? Jump to the worst case conclusion.

Yeah, this is our bread and butter. I don't know if you've picked up on this, but when we talk about it, I hate it. I know you do.

Sometimes I just glaze over. I know you do. Like a donut. And then I start thinking of glazed donuts. And then you guys are talking about, I don't know, how well Sharon's been bloody glazed by Craig. And then I come back in at the end. Yeah.

And so I've got the top six terms I'm just going to make up today. Dating terms. Yeah. Okay, all right. Yeah. So coming up in the top six. Right. Guys, while we've been sleeping,

But there was nothing on the floor. Isn't there those plant boxes where you leave? No, no, it's like there's no evidence of Chani. So I'm like, well, it's definitely over here.

ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about a song that was banned from US radio and it was banned because it glorified juvenile delinquency. Okay. And the thing that makes this, lots of songs have been banned from US radio. After September 11, if you don't know,

after September 11, the World Trade Tax. So many songs were banned from the Tax. Yeah, learn to fly. The Foo Fighters? So many songs were banned from the radio. Yeah. Granted, not forever, but... Yeah. And mostly voluntarily. People were like, yeah, okay, we can see why.

Doesn't feel good. Yeah. But this song is rare because it is the only song to ever been banned from the radio. You'll remember because it glorified juvenile delinquency. But it has no lyrics. Okay. I've got the song. See if you recognise this song.

All right, stand by. This is the song. Yeah. What film was this from? Quite a few, actually. Is this in Pulp Fiction? Yes, it is. Correct.

Correct, ma'am. Well done. It has been in Pulp Fiction? Yes, it is. Correct. Correct, ma'am. Well done. It has been in Pulp Fiction. It has been in Independence Day, original Independence Day, where Will Smith

punched an alien and then shot that giant cookie biscuit. Shot the biscuit. Yeah. It's been in SpongeBob SquarePants versus the big one.

Right. It's been in The Sopranos. It's been in a whole lot of things. This song. It's got no lyrics. Has no lyrics. It is called Rumble.

And it is by Link Wray. Came out in 1958. It's great. Why does it feel like somebody's coming? I don't know. I don't know. So, like, really, like, important guitarists throughout history have said the first time they heard the song

was the first time they knew they wanted to be a guitar player. I'm talking the likes of Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin, Jack White from The White Stripes, Edge from U2, all of which were in, at my, don't laugh at the guy from U2, just because he wears a do-rag. He wears a do-rag. He the guy from U2 just because he wears a do-rag he wears a do-rag he wears a do-rag

the guy wears a do-rag what's the Irish guy with the goatee wearing a do-rag for his name is the edge you know it's strange so this was in the

2008 documentary it might get loud when they played this they were all like yes yes yes yes yes Iggy Pop said it was the first time he heard that song

he was like well I'm leaving school and I'm going to be a rock and roll star Stephen from S Club 7? Yes. Massive impact on Stephen from S Club 7. Huge impact.

Huge impact. We're eternally grateful. So it was 2 minutes 25. This is basically all that happens the entire time that the song played. But why was it enough? In 1958 to get a ban from lots of US radio stations because it encouraged juvenile delinquency. That's so good.

It does make me want to kick down a door. Yeah, yeah. Makes me want to do some loitering. I want to smoke cigarettes and kiss a man. Tell an old gal to mind your own beeswax, sweetheart. I'm over here smoking my Joe Campbell cigarette. So today's fact of the day is this song you can hear in the background that you might recognise from Pulp Fiction

or SpongeBob SquarePants or The Sopranos, depending on where you take in your music, was banned from U.S. Radio in 1958 for encouraging juvenile delinquency, even though not a single word is said. Ah! Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I read an opinion piece this morning about a woman who has started ballet classes. Never have they done ballet in their life. Yeah.

They've, you know, that's usually something you start at a very young kid. It's very difficult. And then you kind of like go. You've got to wear those shoes, those silly shoes. The point shoes. Yep. But she started now. As an adult. As an adult. Age... But isn't there, what is that

fitness that's ballet? Bar. Bar class. B-A-R-R-E. Yeah, bar. Yeah, because like, if you see ballet dancers, like, yes, the image that comes to mind Is someone who's very thin That's the standard image

But they are so ripped I don't know if I've mentioned this before I don't think I've mentioned this I went to drama school I did go to Bali though You've mentioned that a few times I went to drama school Did you go to drama school before or after Bali?

Well before. Well before. Yeah, well before. I'm just trying to set up a chronological timeline here. Yeah. So your life is childhood, drama school, Bali. Bali. Today.

Today. Okay. But the New Zealand Drama School and the New Zealand School of Dance share a building. So we'd always be floating around in our sacks and slacks. Pretending to be waves. Pretending to be a pancake or a wave, depending on the day. And you'd always see the ballet dancers walking by with their

sway backs and their flayed feet and the likes. Incredible physiques. Like in terms of their muscular. The men as well, so muscular. They're very strong. For this person to be taking up ballet later in life, the men as well, so muscular. They're very strong. For this person to be taking up ballet later in life, that's amazing. Later in their 20s. Yeah, totally.

So apparently it's a thing now that they have these adult ballet classes, not barre classes for fitness, but actually to learn the dance form for all ages. Is it like Black Swamp? That movie with Mabel Kudrow? No. You have to do the basics first. Yeah, basics first before you get into...

Before you get to do what they did in that movie. I did ballet for like two or three years, but my mum pulled me up because my ballet teacher hit me. That's what, they're quite intense, eh, the ballet teachers? They're the ones that give kids horrendous body image issues. Yeah. Other dancers, all right. Yeah.

But then aren't they then everything has to be very traditional. This inspired me because it's so hard. It's literally physically in your brain, it's harder to learn a new skill the older you get. That's why they say if you want your kid to learn languages, do them early because you absorb.

Or learning an instrument. I started playing piano at seven, thank God, because imagine learning it now. You finish work and you get home and you just can't be bothered learning or doing anything. Yeah, but you've got to find that pattern. You don't have hobbies. It's so much effort.

You don't have hobbies. I don't hobby all day long. If I didn't have to work, I'd just hobby, hobby, hobby, hobby, hobby all day long. But it's different to learn something new, totally new. Yeah, but you have to learn how to do long. But it's different to learn something new. Totally new. Yeah. But you have to learn how to do things. If you're going to do woodworking, you have to learn how to use the tools and stuff.

Totally. I locked up hobbies for men in their 40s because I thought I could chuck a few your way. Oh, that's good. Here we go. Here we go. Become an astronomy buff. Nah. So you go like hiking and tenting in areas.

Well, you like to walk. I do hiking. I go to like hiking and tenting in areas. Well, you like to walk. I do hiking. I go to the mountains and stuff. Well, this is something else. You do all your hiking birding. Nah. That's what they call bird watching nowadays. You love a bird.

I mean, I like the, what's the big fat one? The Ketidu. Yeah. Yeah, I love the Ketidu. I love it. When they fly past them, they're like. They sound like a helicopter. They sound like a police. They should call the police.

They go helicopter. Should we call the police. K, should be called the police... Kedidoo. Kedidoo helicopter. Kedidoo one. Yes. Coming in. And every police eagle helicopter,

like the Christchurch one is Kedidoo two. Yeah. Yes. I love that. What else can mean before these... And they paint them in that same colour too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Green and white.

Green and... Yeah, yeah. Become a master griller. That's like... No, you don't have an outdoor area. No. Leather work. If you've got a fair bit of leather in your apartment,

sort of your straps and your harnesses and your stainless steel. This is absolute. Your slings, your swings. You've been in my apartment. There's nothing like that. He's got a couple of hard points in the ceiling. Very. I mean, that's the beauty of living in a 1930s apartment.

Those concrete ceilings, they can hold. They can hold a lot of lies. Anyway, this is what I want to know is what did you take up as an adult maybe you know in your 50s

you decided like my mother to learn Italian very hard yeah because you're 50 and like your brain's gone to sleep your brain's

clocked down calcifying yeah calcifying your brain oh do you know one that I always love and I see this all the time

when I'm swimming doing lanes, is people, adults, learning to swim. I just find that so amazing and so cool. Never too late. Because, like, I mean, we take it for granted that when we go to school, we learn to swim, but a lot of people don't. Especially if you didn't grow up here.

One of my friends from Zimbabwe, he was like, I don't even live in seawater. Like, why would I know how to swim? Yeah. I was like, oh yeah. They say, what's lurking

beneath the surface? A hippopotamus? Exactly. An alligator. Not jumping in there. Okay, well we want to take some calls.

0800 dial ZM is the number. Text as well, 9696. What did you take up as an adult? A hobby, a language,

an instrument, something new. Smoking, maybe. Maybe you're 40 and you're like, I'll get the durries a go. I got this far in life without a horrendously, financially crippling vice, I might start smoking.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Do you want to know the new hobby or skill or whatever you took up later in life? Yeah. Because a lot of the time you learn a hobby or a skill like that when you're a kid. Like this woman who I was reading an article about this morning who took up ballet classes in her late 20s.

And that's something normally you'd do as a kid. You would, yeah. Well, yeah, definitely. I don't know that she's going to be making the Royal New Zealand Ballet because most of their dancers are like 17. Yeah. It's also a good way to keep the dementia at bay.

Oh yes it is. Exercising new parts of the brain, collecting new electrons. Alzheimer's is in my family. I read so much about how to like prevent it. Learn stuff. Use stuff. Yeah. You just can't remember which. Which one's warm?

Sorry love. Sorry love. Which one's warm? Sorry, love. Sorry, love. What was I saying? Oh, I've wet myself. Sorry. It's all go. Sorry, I'll just deal with that. Oh, you've got to laugh, don't you?

You've got to laugh. Well, my grandmother died of Alzheimer's. We've got to laugh or we cry. But you've got to keep your brain stimulated, learning new things. Right. Richard's called. Richard, what have you taken up later in life? Oh, I get 30 years old and I finally start buying and playing Pokemon cards.

Dude. Wow. I have thought about this. I have thought about it. Because, you know, when you're a kid and, like, the kids whose parents have money have the best cards because they buy so many cards. Oh, no. That thing because they buy so many cards. Oh, no.

That thing's going to chew the cards. You get all the common ones. It's okay. Yeah, okay. Get the common ones. A mate of mine does this with basketball cards. He's got, like, this group of dudes, and they all put in money,

and they buy a massive box of basketball cards. And they've each got a team. Why? They automatically get their team's collectibles. Oh my God, listen to Richard, buddy. Oh, he's loving it. We can start some sort

of Pokemon syndicate. Yeah. No. I can play it as well and it's good. Okay, yeah. And so is this because now you're older

you can't afford the cards? Actually, yes, it is. Yeah. Why not? You're a grown ass adult Spend your money where you want On choice little shiny cards Richard thanks

You call some more messages in Ah Somebody said Ballet Tennis Rowing And I tried gymnastics too As an adult

Oh you'd have to be very flexible I can't even touch my toes I know Remember that time I got out of the canoe And I just couldn't Stand up Oh yeah

I'd been like 90 degrees the whole time. That's horrible. My legs, horrible. I'm not meant to sit at 90 degrees. No. I want to get good at tennis. Me and Aaron bought the tennis rackets and the balls,

and we've got a court just up the road. We've done it once, and we laughed the whole time. Should we go for lessons after work? I would love to do that. No, you two are going to end up sleeping with your tennis coaches. Yeah. I'm not mad at it. I'm not mad at it.

I've seen this. I've seen this happening. It's meant to be. It's meant to be. Love is love. Love is love. Love is love. I started powerlifting in my 40s, my mid-40s,

and I've represented New Zealand internationally five times. Wow. Oh, my God. Did you see the lady on the news last night? She's in her 70s, and she's a powerlifter. She's represented New Zealand at like a gold and all these games. Oh, my God. How much is she lifting, brah?

It'd be more than me. Oh, my God. How much, brah? Brah, how much? 71. Anyway, they were like, she's like a gold and all these games. Oh my God, how much is she lifting, brah? It'd be more than me. Oh, brah, how much, brah? Brah, how much? 71. Anyway, they were like, she did it. They asked her how she funded it. Yeah. She's like, I take part in medical experiments.

Medical trials, medicine trials and stuff. I suppose looking at a body like that, though, going like, you're so strong and all. That could be the key to why she's so strong. She's on the good stuff. Pacey joins us. Pacey, what did you take up as a hobby later in life? So I'm 22, but a bunch of, I think our age range is probably between 20 to probably like 40 plus.

So all the women at Tarko School Club in Parney, we all decided to take up softball this summer. Oh, wow. And are you any good at it? Absolutely not. We got our first game cut short, so I think there's meant to be like seven innings each team. I don't know, I'm still like learning the rules.

Yeah. But we only got two innings each because we got our game cut short because we were just losing that. Oh, they were just like smoking it. Hey, you've got to start somewhere. Hey, you got to start. Are you allowed to use that little rubber thing

to put the ball on to hit it? No, we have to have it like thrown at us. That's tibble. That is unbelievable. Yeah. Softball, baseball, I don't know the difference. Did city kids use the cow cup inflations for tibble or was that just rural kids?

What? You know the thing that goes on the cow's teat when you're milking cows, the rubbery cup? No, of course we didn't use that. We just used a bit of rubber hose. Yuck. All we got was a bat in a mitt. That's it.

A bat in a mitt. Okay, well, Jordan, this is how Disney movies start. Don't they? You know, a team of absolute losers. Yeah, we all keep calling it baseball and I can't compare it to the Sandlot kids. The Sandlot kids was a bloody classic.

I reckon give it a few years, you're going to be champions. Yeah, league of their own. League of their own kind of stuff, exactly. Thanks for your call, Pacey. Jodie, what did you take up later in life? I took up horse riding. Oh, wow. And when did you find out this was an expensive hobby?

Yeah, too late. When I'm spending more on her shoes than mine every six weeks. How's the growing? You should take up blacksmithing so you can put your own shoes on there. Oh, I love watching a little bit of blacksmithing

on TikTok. Oh, so good. Because I find I've only been horse riding sort of maybe once every three years for, you know, something. And my groin, man, it's like bruised. Yeah, I'm fine with that. But she's a big Clydesdale, so she's a big old couch. Oh, yeah.

She's a good girl. The bloody Rolls Royce of horses. Yeah. Good stuff. Good for you. Good work, Jodie. Yeah, it was fun. My son was a show.

I only started learning about four years ago. And I thought, oh, what a cool way to spend time together. And he was outside doing stuff. And so I got Amanda. Her name's Amanda, my horse. That's a human name. That's not a name for a horse. That's a name for a lady.

I don't know why. I love this Jodie and Amanda. I love it. It's so good. Jodie, thanks. You call some messages in. I took out racing BMX at 36. A year later, I rode for New Zealand at the Worlds.

I've given it up now. My bones are too brittle. That's what happens when you start at 36. In lockdown, I saw a video of someone throwing a playing card and cutting a carrot. And I was like, that's ridiculous. I have a friend who does this. Card tricks.

Yeah, so I took it up over lockdown. And in the end, from a fair distance, I could cut into a carrot. Cut into it, but not cut at. Not cut the carrot off. Wait, so do you have to sharpen your playing cards? No, you just flick it with such speed that it's... Wow. cut into it but not cut at not cut the carrot off wait so do you have to sharpen your playing cards no you just flick it with such speed

that it wow it's impressive it is 46 year old male here I left my wife and two children to take up a teddy bear

of a man couldn't be happier oh okay so you're trying it's not quite what we're after the Olympic sport of homosexuality

yeah why not well it was massive at the original Olympics in Greece. Oh, it was. Yeah, of course it was. Fierce competition. I know. You should see the paintings. I know.

Wrestling, quote unquote. Yeah. Sure. Pantsless. I took up motorcycle riding at 42. I always wanted to do it. That's from Chris. Good on you, Chris.

I took up competitive dragon boating at 55. So much fun. I even got muscles. The elbows, though. Isn't dragon boating just one side? No, it's one side. It's one paddle. You're thinking about kayaking.

Kayaking. I was thinking of kayaking. There's a whole lot of you in the dragon boat, and you just absolutely give it up. These are so inspiring, aren't they? Somebody said, oh, my God, my friends used to own Amanda the horse. She's such a cool horse. Oh, lovely.

Amanda the horse. Everybody knows bloody Amanda the horse. We'll get a tennis coach. I think we're going to take up tennis. We'll go hearts in a tennis coach. Vaughn, what are you going to do? You want to come do tennis with us? I'm going to need, this is what I do if I take up a hobby.

I'm going to need the most expensive tennis racket. Oh, my up a hobby. I'm going to need the most expensive tennis racket. Oh my God, same. I buy the gear. And then use it once. You want one of those little white skirts. Yeah. Oh my God. Can I pop the can of balls?

Yes! And then can I sniff it? Yes, that is the most fun part. I don't want to play it. I'll just come to sniff it. I just love popping the can of tennis balls. You can be our ball boy. Yes, I am cute and small and zippy.

And I'll cry if you hit me. How much is one of those? You reckon AliExpress has those tennis ball machines that fire them at you? Because we'll need one of those. Let's invest. Yeah, that sounds great. You just joined a tennis club.

Also, I don't know the scoring. I just go one, two, three, four, five. One love. Love. Yeah, you're in 30, 40. If you both get to 40, it's deuce. I'm deuce with advantage

and you've got to win an advantage. If you're an advantage and they win it, it's back to deuce. Yeah, I refuse to learn how to score in tennis so you'll be in charge

of scoring. Can we make it that if you hit it over the net, you can let it bounce twice before you hit it? No. I could take up tennis umpiring. I'll keep the score.

Yeah, great. We don't have to keep it. And don't you dare come at me with any attitude if I call it out. You are going to have to wear undies in those shorts, under those shorts. Absolutely not. Because you're up on that high chair.

And I'm wearing the same tennis skirt that Hayley's wearing. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's. So I want to talk about a term, gymtimidation. Gymtimidation. I'm feeling so gymtimidated. Gymtimidation. I'm feeling so gymtimidated. Gymtimidated. Gotcha.

Intimidated. Indeed. Some research was conducted by a major gym chain, found 67% of women feel a bit of gymtimidation in general when they work out. Yeah. Which is if it's the feeling of like heightened feelings of self-awareness, self-consciousness when you're in the gym. They say that two fifths of women worry they'll be judged

for not knowing how to do things properly, not knowing how the machines work, looking stupid in front of others and their body shape will be judged. It's awful. I have to say, and I get this because the gym we go to is a little intense. It's what's been known to be a bit. we go to is a little intense.

It's what's been known to be a bit. It's been known to be intense. There are some hard cores. It's the most intense gym there is. It was like during lockdown, they were like, you can't come to us. We'll come to you on your TV. Now I'm in your home. And if you're not there, you're a piece of shit. And I'll make you there and be warmed up and ready.

And now I am Les Mills. I was just like, you need to calm down. We've been trying to get you to the cycle classes. Yeah, we really have. And you just won't. Leave me alone. Do you get the gym intimidation? Nah, because I don't care.

Yeah, I've never really. I don't know, because I'm just the ones in my own world. I just do a workout and then I'm not. If I ever see a dude who's like in real good nick, like at the gym, like he's, I'm not intimidated by him. I'm like, boy, you've got it going on. Like almost like a tip of the hat to you. Yeah, yeah.

You put in some effort. Yeah, same. Yeah. But also when I first started working out, I did like personal trainer sessions. And so they try and kind of taught me how to use the machines. So you get rid of some of that anxiety of looking at a machine and being like,

what? Oh no, I love using the machines wrong. Do you? I find a multi, you know, that's not what that's for. Really? Because I'm doing it. Yeah. But even if you're worried about not doing an exercise or using a machine right, you just YouTube it.

There's like a bajillion gym bras. Like, here's how you do it properly. Or like, because this article is aimed towards women because that's who they researched. And in our gym, there's a women's gym, like a smaller area. And that's where I work out. Producer Jared goes to Contours.

Yeah. Which I believe is a female-only gym, isn't it? Yeah, I don't go to contours. I tried to go to contours to ask for directions once. And they wouldn't tell me where the male gym was. It's because, yeah, did you have that pesty moustache that you... Yeah, your porn star. No, it was like seven years ago, so it was just a shadow of a muzzy.

Right, but then they let you do a workout. Please, please never say shadow of a muzzy. but then they then they let you um i'll let you do it please i feel like they should let you work out at contours i'm a little man just let me lift the lady weights and i do it actually it's the other weights I'd be worried about you if you went into contours Those housewives would eat you up Do they even still have contours? No contours I don't think exist anymore No they're still contours

Also the lady weights We've got the same weights It's just a smaller area They're pink with a softer handle No yeah there is a contours They're still contours They're still contours Yeah I knew you thought they were

We used to join a contours. There's still contours. There's still contours. Yeah, I knew you thought there was. There's a joint of contours. Girls at the gym lift way more weights. I'm not a weights guy. I'm a cardio guy. I don't particularly enjoy weights. And when I see a woman doing weights, I'm like, get it. Because I feel like up in the women's gym,

because I know downstairs that we're, it's mostly men and like maybe real like body building women. But upstairs, it feels like a sisterhood. You know, we're all encouraging each other. And we're all like, every now and then someone might say there's something to you, like, well done. Or like, holy shibolis, you know. Oh, really?

100 kg on the thrust, babe. Get that dumper. Wow. Get that dumper, girl. 100 kg on the thrust. I can thrust 100 kg. You're going to break it off. You're going to thrust 100 kg.

I can thrust 100 kg. You know, one of it off. And then people come in. You're going to thrust 100 kg. I can thrust 100 kg. You know, one of the people have... Have you seen my dumper? That and your kegels, you're in absolute danger. It's concrete down there. Yeah. It's concrete down there. You're like one of those juicers.

Oh, yeah, I am. With the handle. Oh, yeah. I'm like Nicki Minaj. I've got all the tips and tricks. It's no wonder people have gym intimidation when you're doing that with 100 kgs. You are the gym terminator. I'm the Nicki Minaj. I've got all the tips and tricks. It's no wonder people have gymtimidation when you're doing that with 100kgs. You are the gymtimidator. I'm the gymdiminator.

You are the gymtimidator, Taylor. Play it. CDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly little boys. Silly little boys. It is so silly, silly, silly. That the silly little pole

Silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole Hey, buddy. Do you prefer to cook or do the dishes? That is today's silly little pole. Cook or do the dishes.

For me, it's the dishes. Should we have had a third option? Just get takeaways? And chuck it all in the bin. And chuck it all in the bin. And chuck it all in the bin? Eat it from the container and buff it. Yeah. Overwhelmingly in favour of cooking.

76% of people said I'd rather cook than do the dishes. Yeah, same. Every time. It's more effort and it's more work, but it's more creatively fulfilling. Yeah, but like, yeah. Washing the dishes is lame. Washing the dishes is lame. Washing the dishes is an art form.

Some people find washing the dishes like therapeutic. Well, those people don't have eczema on their hands. Maybe you need a better dishwashing liquid. Palm olive? You're using palm olive. Where's the bright green one? Oh, here's the one made out of dolphins. What's that one?

Made out of dolphins? Yeah, there's dolphins. Yeah, dolphin oil. Dolphin oil. What, they wring out a out of dolphins? Yeah, there's dolphins. Yeah, dolphin oil. Dolphin oil. What, they wring out a dolphin? Yeah. Yeah, it's on the package. Jeez, that's terrible.

I use dishwashing tablets, even in the sink. I just put them in. It doesn't mix them up. Okay, that's caustic soda. I wouldn't be doing that. I don't anymore. Some feedback.

Lynn said, 100% the dishes because I can leave them to soak overnight. My partner does them in the morning. You monster! Oh my God.

Also, what are you cooking that needs to be soaked overnight? Nothing needs to be soaked. When you finish with them, nothing should need to be soaked. Maybe if you slow cook something in a

cast iron crock pot. No, no, no. We're not washing cast iron. We're just giving it a rinse. If it's well-seasoned cast iron, that stuff should sludge right off it. But what about like a family, a glass Pyrex lasagna dish?

Oh, yeah. That's had it cooked and the cheese hits the side and then you serve it out of it. It's on the table and then by the time you get into the dishes, she's been out and they've been an hour and a bit.

It only needs like an hour soaking. Yeah. Oh, nah, leave it up. You might as well leave it up and I'm going to get a bit down anyway. I'm just leaving these to soak. Oh, my God. I want to rip my face off.

Claire says... You're such a clean freak. Dishes, always. I'm terrible at cooking. All I can do is scrambled eggs and spag bol. At the same time, scrambled eggs on spag bol. I mean, mince on toast with an egg? Yeah.

Yum. I always did a good two-minute noodle omelette as a kid after high school. That's pretty bourgeois. What is that? Bourgeois. It's where you cook the noodles and then you dry them, drain them, and then put them in the omelette egg. Dry them.

Dry them off. With a tea towel. Dry them off with a tea towel. Each individual one you run through the tea towel. Leave that to dry. And then you make it on the it's like a whitebait fritter

but it's affordable it's affordable and sustainable yeah well is it I don't know how noodles are made

yeah Polly says both because when I cook I use every utensil in the kitchen and huffing and sighing for my

partner where he has to do the dishes is unbearable so I just do them both oh okay he's weaponising in Polly's partner yeah weaponising in competence yeah for my partner where he has to do the dishes is unbearable so I just do them both. Oh, okay. He's weaponising in confidence.

Polly's partner. Yeah, yeah. Weaponised in confidence, yeah? Yeah. Aaron has to, I mean, we're washing ours in the bathtub at the moment

because we don't have a kitchen sink. You wash yourself at the same time? Yuck. I'd have a shower in my plates. Do you get out of the bath

and there's like a little bit of meatball stuck in a crevice? Stuck in a what? No, we're not using the bath. That was the rule. The bath is now the sink. Oh, okay, right. You get out your wipe, wipe your butt

and there's a bit of carrot. Always in the sink, isn't it? An avocado pip. Jeez, you put those in the sink? They go straight in the bin. Anna says, Hobie's better at cooking and I like things done a certain way. Maybe that's why

they work so well in that couple. I hate that too though but you're so much better at cooking than I am. How do you think I got good, Aaron?

How do you think I got good? I kept cooking. But if you like cooking and he likes doing the dishes. He doesn't like doing the dishes. Oh, okay. But he'll do the dishes.

I don't want to do either of them. I enjoy cooking but I hate cleaning and my partner's the opposite so we're a match made in culinary heaven, says Caroline. And Catherine says, I'd rather pay for takeaways than do neither of the above. Yeah, I vote that too.

Tash, dishes all day, every day. Old school washing with a dish rack, so therapeutic. Absolutely hate cooking. There you go. Yeah. Owen, less having to please everyone when you're washing the dishes, no pressure on people liking what you've cooked, and the disappointment when you're the only one that eats it all.

Say, big dad energy there in that sentence. Give me a kitchen full of dishes any day. So there you go. People still in favour of cooking. Yum. Yum. Yum. Play.

ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Yum Yum Yum I am really bad at washing my drink bottle Like really bad Same I had one that had like a twist cap Yeah Like that Like not a sucky or whatever Just a twist cap And it

Like on the inside of the cap was like Mould Oh yuck And I couldn't get it out Are you having a look at yours? Having a sniff? cat and it like on the inside of the cat was like mold. Oh, yuck. And I couldn't get it out. Are you having a look at yours? Having a sniff? Sniff test, A-OK.

OK. How often do you wash your drink bottle? Not very often. Nah, neither. Because I've got a new one now. But I figure you want a bit of dirt, don't you? You want a bit of grime. Well, yeah, you want to.

It toughens up the immunity. Yeah. Gives you a little bit of. And that way when you get some. It's like a vaccine every day, you know. Yeah, that way when you get some bad Pam's Hep A berries. You can take it. You've already had a little bit. Exactly.

Mine smells like a pool. You know when you walk into a pool reception area? Because I didn't wash mine. I was gifted this. Thank you very much. What's that fancy brand? Frank Green. Oh, you're right.

And I just filled it up with water straight away and started drinking it. You didn't even clean it out when it was new. I ain't got time. And I haven't washed it since, and the flavour's gone away, so I guess I've ingested whatever was giving it that tag. And now it smells a little bit like a chlorine pool. But my last one was like mouldy, and the one before that got mouldy as well. Man, Key. Well, apparently. How often did you say, Vaughan, that got mouldy as well. Man, Key.

Well, apparently. How often did you say, Vaughan, that you wash your drink bottle? Not very often. I couldn't even think of how. It's not like every season I'm like, oh, it's spring. We better wash our drink bottle. Every season? Well, no, I'm not saying I have any regular thing until maybe the last time I washed this one,

the little rubbery thing fell out. Yes. And then I was like, oh, I'll have a look at the little rubbery thing fell out. Yes. And then I was like, I'll have a look at that. And it needed a wash. Yeah. Yuck. Well, apparently, according to scientists, we have to wash them every day.

Every day? Whoopsie doopsie. Science, I've had your back for a couple of years, but now you're on your own. Yeah, I know. So they say the best way, obviously, is to throw it in the dishwasher, but lots of them you can't.

No, I can't. So you've got to give it a soapy, sudsy wipe. And it's not because of the actual water we're drinking. We're very lucky. Beautiful water. Our water is beautiful. It's because of the saliva that's going in. It's putting all this bacteria and it coats the sides of it

and it grows and grows into mould, which is what mine did. In fact, I had mould at the bottom of mine at one point because I would always put a squeeze of lemon and you know how lemon corrodes plastic? Yeah. It would do that and then it would grow a bit of mould. And the mould would get in the part that corroded. Yeah.

So you'd be at the gym doing a hard-out workout and you'd have a lemony, tan water. I'd be in the gym really opening up my lungs and then I'd be putting mould sort of into the body lungs. Right. And then I'd be like putting mould sort of into the body. Oh right. Okay.

So you've got to wash them every day. Bit of penicillin though. Yeah. Well if you're off to the gym now just give

yourself an extra minute to wash out your drink bottle at the gym. Just a bit of hand soap into the.

Hand soap. And also gym hand soap. Bit of hand sanitiser. Fluoro pink stuff. Yeah and then shake it up. Shake it up. Rinse it out. Oh, fluoro pink stuff. You know, just, yeah. And then shake it up.

Shake it up. Rinse it out. Give it a wipe. Yeah. Good to go. Absolutely. Ten past six. Next on the show,

things that are going to disappear with millennials. I actually really, really love this story. So there is a woman, well, I don't love the start of it. There's a woman who went to the doctor and she was basically told that she was overweight and needed to lose weight. She had this big stomach. Right. You can see where this is going. It wasn't a big stomach, was it?

She wasn't pregnant. No, she wasn't pregnant. She had a 7kg mass, like a tumour, on her ovaries. Oh, jeez. That was pressing into her stomach, and it was making her stomach look like she was pregnant. Right. 7kgs.

I mean, that's basically what I weigh. Oh, my God. That's like I'm in there. Give or take. So, anyway, her sister, when they revealed this, which was obviously very scary, but apparently these kind of masses are quite easy to remove. Well, not easy to remove.

Right. It's 7 kgs. So, was it cancerous or was it just a mass? I think it was just a mass. Right. It was. It was just a mass. 7 kgs. Stuck on one of her ovaries. The ovaries are just a mass. It was. It was just a mass. Seven kgs.

Stuck on one of her ovaries. The ovaries are small. Oh my God. Anyway, so her sister threw her a party that mimicked a gender reveal. So instead of saying it's a boy or it's a girl, it was it's a mass. And they played all these games like guess the, you know, you like guess the

width of my stomach and you put a string around and guess how much the mass weighs and everyone put in their bid and like who was closest. They did prizes. Everyone came dressed as a different shade of blood. There was a cake that said it's a mass on it.

I love this. I love this dark humour. It's brilliant. I love it too. So apparently this is really on brand for her family sense of humour. Right love it too. So apparently this is really on brand for her family's sense of humour. Right. Throwing this party for something.

She even did a maternity photo shoot where she was like holding her stomach before it was removed. Oh my God. So the party was pre-removal or post-removal? Pre-removal. Pre-removal. So she was trying to capture all these moments because they think they were saying as well, the only one of the ovaries was removed, but they were going, you know, it's going to impact your fertility chances. So she wanted to do this like maternity shoot.

Oh, I love that. I know. I love this so much. So I wanted to see if there was anyone out there who had also thrown a party, but for a very unconventional reason. You know, sometimes people throw like a divorce party. I've heard of divorce parties. Or, like, a divorce wedding, like an anti-wedding.

Yeah, my dad a while ago had a I don't have cancer anymore party. Oh, so that's a good party. I love that. Yeah. Or, like, this person died. I don't know. That's called a funeral. But you've thrown a party for an unconventional reason like this,

and people came along and they celebrated, and maybe it was a bit of fun, a bit silly. I like it because you've got to laugh, right? Yeah, so not your baby showers, your birthdays, your anniversaries, your weddings. Something unconventional. And you've gone all out like this woman. With signs and everything.

Alright, well if this is you, 0800 dials at M. Give us a call now, you can text as well. 9696 What did you throw an unconventional party for? All right. Let us know. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. We want to know the unconventional reason that you threw a party.

A woman had a party thrown for her seven-cagey tumour on her. Well, mass. Mass. Growing on her ovaries. Mimicking, I guess, a gender reveal party. Yeah. It was revealing it was indeed a mass in her tummy. So she's had it cut out and she's fine now, right?

She's fine. Yeah, thank God. Good sense of humour in the face of that kind of... Apparently that's the way her family rolls. Yeah, right. Because a lot of people would just be like, end of the world, and you'd be horrified and so anxious. I know, I know. They had a laugh.

They even, you know, did a guess the weight. So that's what we wanted to know. Why did you throw a party for a weird reason? Some messages in. Some real dark ones. We'll get to those soon. But someone said, you should have seen the look on people's face when they turned up to our son's christening and there was a keg there.

I love that. That's good. My dad threw a party when he was dying. The liquor shop worker asked what he was celebrating and he said I'm dying and the guy felt so bad he gave my mum a free bottle of wine. And Alex says, Twilight premiere party.

I'm not not embarrassed about it now. Not not. Not not. Double negative. Double negative, yeah. Mel, when did you have an unconventional party? We are having it in two weeks. Oh, okay.

Oh, what's the occasion? So we are having a beep cancer party for my son who's just finished cancer treatment. Oh, my God. An F cancer. You can say F, but don't say that F. How old is your son? So he's 14. Oh, my God, an F cancer. You can say F, but don't say that F. How old is your son? So he's 14. Oh my God, you beat it.

Wow. Yeah. So we've got a cake that's got F cancer and I've got biscuits that are pulling the finger saying F cancer and yeah, we're just having all our friends and family and lots of food and drinks, hide-a-hole. It's going to be great. I love this.

I'm so sorry you've been on this journey with your son, but so happy for you that he's EFTA, that he's beat cancer. Yeah, yeah. No, it's going to be awesome. So he's slightly embarrassed, but I'm all about it. He's at that age now. You could do nothing and he'd be embarrassed. Nah, cool parents swear. I remember my mum used to swear. I'd be like, she's cool. He's at that age now. You could do nothing and he'd be embarrassed. Nah, cool parents swear.

I remember my mum used to swear. I'd be like, she's cool. Really? Yeah. Oh, congratulations to your family. That's so awesome. Yeah, so cool, Mal. Thank you.

All right, we've got Charlie. Charlie, when did you have an unconventional party? So I had been vegetarian for about 14 years and decided it was time to start eating meat again. So I threw a meat party. So did you jump in the deep end of the pool at this party? Like you were vegetarian, you went straight to an all meat party? 100%.

Yeah, there was no vegetables allowed. It was just all straight meat. And all meats? Your guts would have been like, what? What was the first piece of meat that you ate? I think I had bacon, no, wrapped around dates. Oh, my God. Yum.

Yeah, we just, we went at Hundy's. There was lots of chicken, steak, kind of anything. Yeah, I just went for it. What was your, why was it, what was your decision to dive back headfirst into meat? I wanted to see what I'd been missing out on for that long. Oh, mate, it's the best. It was pretty good. Yeah, it's pretty good.

Wow. I mean, it's actually ruining the environment sometimes. We're going to a meat party at Vaughan's house, aren't we, in a few weeks? Oh, yeah. Why don't you just come into my house? Every party at my house is a meat party. Yeah, he's a meat boy.

He's a meat boy. You see people home with little meat sacks. Charlie, thanks. You're called Gemma. What unconventional party did you have? I actually went to a party. So it was my best friend's party, celebrating her new boobs from her boob job. New boobies.

A new boobies party. Did she have them out to celebrate? She sure did. Yeah, I love that. The decorations were all boob themed. She had boob cupcakes. And yeah, we all got to feel them You got to feel them?

Yeah Fascinating It was amazing Fascinating I've never felt fake breasts So how do they differ? Well, that's the thing They felt so natural

So it was also shocking to us Fantastic I remember when I touched my friend's fake boobies. She was a cancer survivor, got some little boobie implants, and they were cold at the time, so they firm up when they're cold. It's definitely a female thing. Yeah, yeah, right. Does the nipple get hard because the cold's behind,

or does the nipple ignore the cold if it's behind? Oh, I don't know that one. Yes, you do. If you've got fake breasts and you can answer that question, that would be much appreciated. Just to put my own curiosity in the air. or does the nipple ignore the cold if it's behind? Oh, I don't know that one. I don't know. If you've got fake breasts and you can answer that question, that would be much appreciated. Just put my own curiosity in the air. I've never had tattooed nipples.

Tattooed nips. Tattooed nips. If you've seen a tattooed nip, they're incredible. Yeah, right. Yeah. Oh, good. I like a new boobie party. Yeah.

Gemma, thanks for your call. Katie, what unusual party did you go to or run? Well, I'm an event stylist, so I got asked to style essentially a living funeral, so it was an end-of-life party. I do like the idea of that because you don't get to hear all the nice things people say about you at your funeral. Oh, it was so emotional.

Yeah, very emotional, but also very beautiful and such an honour to be part of. So would you recommend people do this? Because it is weird that you're alive and you know you're going to die. Like, yeah. I would totally do it. I'm here for a party, so I would definitely do it. But it was such a special thing for her because she'd never really had any parties throughout her whole life.

So this was like her one and only big, big thing. A big day. How do you know? And this, I mean, this is purely curiosity as well. Like the, if your nipple gets hard, if the implant's behind it and it's cold. How did she know that she was going to pass soon? And how did she know to have the party so she could still enjoy it before, you know, because people who have terminal cancer get to the end of life, they are often uncomfortable and need to be medicated for the pain and stuff.

Well, she was doing voluntary euthanasia, so she had a date that she was working towards. Yeah. She sounds very, like, a planner like me. Planner, yeah. Like, you know, one of those people that plans everything to the T. Not leaving anything up to chance. Wow. That must be such that plans everything to the T. Not leaving anything up to chance. Wow.

That must be such a strange experience to go to. Did everybody, like, let their hair down and party afterwards? Or was it just a feeling of it was a bit weird and too sad to do that? Well, I mean, I wasn't there for the actual party, but I did hear that it was a very joyous occasion. Like, everyone was just there to have fun and celebrate her. That's cool. Yeah, that's not bad.

I really like, I've always liked that idea. Yeah, same. Because, yeah, otherwise. And then once you go, just sort of usher me away. Okay. Well, you know, when you guys are ready for it, come and see me. Oh, thank you so much, Katie. Hopefully we don't talk to you too soon.

Yeah, definitely. Brilliant, Katie, thank you. much, Katie. Hopefully we don't talk to you too soon. Yeah, definitely. Brilliant. Katie, thank you. Some messages in. We had a V-Fest for my friend when he lost his virginity at 28. Oh. It was the best party for popping his cherry. We had a great old time.

I bet they were just absolutely stoked to be. Yeah. At the centre of that. Yeah. We threw a ritualistic burning of my uterus after a hysterectomy from endo

and other issues a stupid thing was a waste of space in my body bit of a wiccan I wonder if I would have smelt like burning you'd have to hit

the fire hot yeah oh yeah you don't want to you don't want to be simmering no no no no

you don't want the fire roaring do you you don't want the fire roaring, do you? You don't want the charcoal nicely plateaued. No. My family threw me a period party when I first had my first period. The whole family was there and Dad was crying his little eyes out. It was the most embarrassing thing.

Oh my God. No. What? No. You would want to die. That's horrible. I'd be so embarrassed. Yeah. And I threw a party when I was made redundant for the first time. It was my redundancy party. Yeah, I'd do that.

It'd be quite fun. Because you'd be so bitter about it. You'd be like, all I can do is have some drinks. Just drink this out. Yeah. Save a bit of your redundancy payout and then skedaddle. I'm loving all these excuses for a party. It's so good.

Because that's the thing when you're in these adverse situations. You've got to laugh at it, don't you? You've got to laugh or you'll keep crying. Well, Reddit was asked and they responded with the things that will disappear with millennials. Millennial memories, sorts of things. Things that millennials experience that every generation after won't. Right.

Like what? Disposable cameras? Is that on the list? It's not on the list. Because they've made a comeback. They have made a comeback. They've made a stupid

stupid comeback. Can't wait till people pay however much it costs to get a photo developed now and it's no good. Yeah. Where do you even go?

I assume the place with the photo kiosks. I assume you have in Ormond's and that, right? There's still a few places open. Your warehouse stationery. Your Unicam Life Pharmacy. Your Photo Express. Is it even worth their time though? I don't know.

And money? It probably isn't. There's so few people doing it. Because yeah, the digital ones literally get printed out. You do your work at your little kiosk, don't you? Yeah, yeah. Kodak stores apparently.

Are there still Kodak stores? Where's the local Kodak store, Carween? You're all trendy and up with the photos. Google map Kodak stores.

Where do you go, I go to the Kodak store that's in Newmarket for film and stuff. Oh yeah, okay. It'll be boosh. It'll be boosh,

yeah. It's not that boosh. Okay. I just took these photos and I just want to see it get them developed. And then I'm going to take a photo of the photo

and upload it to Instagram. Yeah, of course. Can they give you digital copies as well? They give you digital? Oh, my God. So just take them. It defeats the purpose.

Take them with a digital camera. Do you guys still have like a box, like a family box of your negatives? Oh, yeah, at home. We've got them. And then the negatives are in the envelopes and the envelopes have got the photos in the back and they're all in a box.

In a tin, yeah. But then so photos are not on the list for millennial disappearing memories. Nah. What is, Vaughn? A world remembered before the existence of the internet, Hayley. When you say, and I've said this, we didn't have that when we were growing up. We didn't have social media.

We didn't have the internet. Well, that's the other thing too. People said a perceived privacy because of no social media. So if you told someone something, it was kind of one at a time. We had sent out the family Christmas newsletter. Oh, yeah. My parents still do a newsletter. Do they?

Yeah. Are Vaughan and I on the newsletter? I'll get Patsy to add you. I would love to be added to that. Yeah, it's always like, here's what Hayley's doing, here's what Sam's doing. We went to Italy.

We'll do what we did when my second cousin says to send theirs out. We'll gather around and like absolutely rip it to bits. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just be like,

oh, so great is that? Oh, fantastic. She's talking Hayley up Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just be like, oh, so great is that? Oh, fantastic. She's talking Hayley up here. That never happens. That's never happened. God, prone to exaggeration much? Wired phones. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Wired phones are a thing of the past, you know, where you had to have a long curly cord on the phone. Kids these days will never know a Garfield phone or a hamburger phone. Oh, my God, I had a hamburger phone and a shoe phone. What about offices though? They're still all curly wire phones.

Oh, on desks and stuff, I suppose. Yeah, like court offices. A lot of headsets though. Yeah, I know, but it's still connected to the curly wire phone. But I guess at home.

Yeah. Kids won't see that for quite some time until they enter the workforce and then they'll be like, what do I do with this? Dial up. There'll never be dial up. Yeah.

Not paying for internet by the five-minute block. Having to just watch whatever was on TV. Oh, my God, I know. And not really having a choice. Yes, and then wait. Cliffhangers and waiting. You'd be like, ugh. Yeah, until it was.

And if you missed it and you didn't video it, like when are you going to see that again? You won't. Yeah. Do you remember the two-part Simpsons episode, Who Shot Mr. Burns, which was a television event? And this is the other thing maybe kids won't ever have, is television events.

Yeah. Like there was no way to see it any other way. If you missed it, you missed it until it got repeated and it could be six months and everyone would be talking about the television event.

That's another thing that'll die with millennials. Yeah. There's always that thing where you'd be going out with your family maybe and your mum would always be like, I'll put a tape on.

We were going to the airport to pick up my grandparents on the night of the second episode of Her Shop Mr Burns. Oh, just get mum and dad to pick them up. We put a to the airport to pick up my grandparents on the night of the second episode of Who Shot Mr. Burns. Oh, just get mum and dad to put a tape on? We put a tape in and we recorded it and then the power went out.

There was a power cut and when we left home there was no power. You didn't need to be going to the airport. You could have stayed at home and watched it. No, I was only a wee boy. So I remember from the airport getting coins and using a payphone to call

Mrs Pickett and saying can you please record The Simpsons? Oh my god. You are out of control. It's a television event. Yeah. This is what I'm saying and if I missed it, I'd hear about it but I wouldn't have seen it. Did she have to tape over one of the

episodes of Cairo? Oh, she would have taped over something. But once you've watched it, it's fine. It's usually a concert. You know, they'd air concerts on TV. Yes, you'd record the concert. Oh, I love the Bee Gees. Or you'd have a couple of tapes with your concerts that you really like,

and you'd snap the little tab off them so they couldn't be accidentally taped over. Another thing that will die with millennials. What else is on the list of things that will die with millennials? Having a LAN network party. This is for computer game players where you'd have to take your computer to your friend's house. And they were massive too with the massive CRT monitors. And you'd take all your computer bits around and you'd set it up and you'd plug all your computers into each other and play a game. Yes, my brother used to do that.

Yeah. And now, of course, it's all online. On the Wi-Fi. There's no need to go into a stinky garage with a bunch of other stinky teenagers and lock out the curtains and be stinky. Smelly event. I never participated, but I can imagine.

You would have loved it. It was always cheese balls. I love cheese balls. Oh, he loves cheese balls. It was always snacks, and they were always like cheese floated. I have been getting so many people sending me the giant tubs of cheese balls at Costco. I saw them.

But I still haven't been to Costco yet. You haven't been either. You didn't buy me one. Have the lions died down there? When I was in there, you were going to go. I was going to go. Have the lions died down there? Have the lions died?

Oh, my God. Why? We didn't go because petrol's cheaper. So I went and got petrol there the other day and it was still absolutely hummum. Why don't people go home? Do these people not work? You know, get a job. Am I right?

Well, they've got to get a job to pay for all this Costco they're purchasing. Oh, yeah. Now, this is a weird one that will disappear, but also was just after my time. Portable DVD players. Oh, yeah, okay. You'd see a rich kid with a portable DVD player, a little screen

and of course now if you get an iPad or a tablet or anything, you don't really need it. And socialising without any digital distractions. Yeah, right. What are you going to talk about though? Yeah, that seems really good. How's the tap water at yours?

God, it's hard. Ever since that big rainfall last week, it's been a little tangy. Yeah. It's been a tangy little. And finally, burning CDs. Oh, I love burning CDs. You get a big spindle from warehouse stationery or the warehouse. And you make an epic playlist and you go to put one in and it already had something on it.

And you're like, got it. Yeah. You always have to label it and then put it into your CD wallet sleeve. Yeah. Well, the new social media app

that everybody's jumping on board, Be Real, has announced a milestone. 53 million installs on Android and Apple phones around the world. I installed it. I have installed it, but I don't use it. I just get the notifications every day that annoy me that tell me to post.

I've kind of been using it, but I just don't. It's not connecting with my soul. So for those that don't know what be real is. You get a notification that says time to be real. And then you take a photo and it takes a photo in that moment from your front camera and your back camera. So you get two views of what you're doing. No filters. You can't upload.

The times are a bit wonky, right? Because it's kind of based on American times, right? So we get a lot of like 2 a.m. I think it's different. You're in different time zones. Do you reckon? I think you're in different time zones because a couple of people that are in Europe don't post till way later and they both

post at about the same time. Oh, right. So you reckon it's different for each time zone? Yeah, I think so. Okay. Well, they just notify you and you've got to do it then. Yeah. And then if you do post, you can see your friends post. You can't see what other people post unless you post. But I don't know.

I don't know. Do you think that's not enough for people, Leigh? Yeah, I sort of want, I need more. Yeah. I get a little bit bored of it. I post my own picture because I'm so interesting. I don't look at everyone else's pictures. To give you an idea, 53 million people have installed this,

and it's gone up like 2000% this year alone the installs but to give you an idea only 9% of people are opening the app a day oh so a lot of people have installed it but not a lot of people are using it now compare that to Instagram. I reckon it's because if people aren't doing something

they want to share they won't open it yeah that's true because and then you might forget. It will notify you and you're literally sitting on the couch or you're at work. Yeah. Like what are you going to take a photo? Maybe the first time you could, but what are you going to keep taking photos of your boring work desk?

Mine's always in the lift at work. Somebody I follow said I took a nap at a different time today because I didn't want my B-Rail to be a nap three days in a row and that came through when I was just starting my nap. Yeah. And see that thing,

it's just kind of same, same, gets a bit boring. So 9% of people are opening B-Real a day compared to Instagram. 39% of people, that's the leading app. 39% of people open Instagram every single day. Every single minute.

Followed by TikTok, 29%. And then followed by Facebook on 27%, Snapchat 26%, and YouTube 20%. Every day. Remember when I said I'd do a TikTok a week? Yeah, how's that going? I was like, you're going to do a TikTok a day. Was I? Yeah, you're going to do a TikTok a day.

Was I? You're a Kickstarter. You have it. She's insane. You. Was I? Yeah, you're going to TikTok a day. Was I? Four weeks to kickstart your habit. Oh, she's insane. You wanted to be famous. How's that going? Well, I've still only done the one, but it was a real good one. Right, and you've fallen out with your social media manager. Yeah, I have, Carween, because she was making these wild suggestions.

She's like, do this dance. Do this lip sync. Carween, why are you leading me down this path? Do you want to be famous on TikTok or not? I don't, yeah, but I don't want to dance. I think we have to

recreate every single TikTok that Charlie D'Amelio does and then you'll be good. Who's that? She's the worst. Don't associate with her.

Charlie D'Amelio? She's the Jimmy Fallon of TikTok. Oh. She's on Dancing with the Stars at the moment. Yeah.

See? Play. ZM's Flet with the Stars at the moment. Yeah. See? Well, some research has found, and this is out of the UK. I wonder if this would be similar here in New Zealand. But four out of 10 adults, 40% of adults, have banned their parents from touching their bedroom posters, their childhood bedroom posters. Oh, ours went. They're gone?

Yeah, I mean, it's been 20-something years since I left home. But, um... Oh, babe, did they rip? I bet I'm having a panic attack. Life's passing me by. Okay, I'll hit you with some more stats. Over half of adults still have their bedroom in the parental home. Wow.

Two-thirds of those bedrooms are unchanged. Oh, no, no, no, no. Nothing's the same. Since they left out, since they left home. Nothing's the same. My sister's single bed got moved into my brother and I's room. It's still there with the trundler bed underneath. I mean, that's two beds in one, baby.

Oh, I love a trundler. But there's also a treadmill and a computer in that room. Yeah. Probably some like Ab King Pro. There'll be a roller. There'll be an Ab roller in the wardrobe in there. But yeah, it's crazy. So even after people have moved out, there are still posters.

38% of homes are still adorned with old images of pop stars, sports stars, trucks. I mean, mine were long gone. But I was also changing the whole time because I went through my, like, gothy phase. So I had a lot of very, like, scary posters on the wall. Marilyn Manson. Marilyn Manson. I had plenty. And I had Cradle of Filth.

Oh, my God. I know. Wow. Like, big got. I know. Wow. Like big goth energy. You actually turned out all right. What happened? What happened? But no, my parents don't own the house that they had when we lived there.

As soon as we moved out, they kind of left. They celebrated. Yeah. The spy skills aren't still in your... No, because that was the thing. I grew up sharing a room with my brother and it got to the point where it was a tape. We once taped down the wall, across the floor

and up the other side. And did you put your foot over the line just to like tease him? Yeah, but he had to access my side to get into the room. Oh my God. So he said, I should be able to have a passage down. I said, but then you're getting square meterage from my side and I should be able to have the line further.

And so then he'd have to hop over the end of his bed to get out the door. And I said, that's tough titties, you know. That's the real estate rules here. That's access way. Wow. He's so full on. But it was like, yeah, his half of the room was Spice Girls.

He was a big Jerry fan, wasn't he? No, Baby Spice. Baby Spice. And mine was Bands and Neve Campbell and other 90s babes. Oh, my God. Who do I have? I have Drew Barrymore. Wow.

Neve Campbell. Alicia Silverstone from the Batman movie that she was in. I had some babes up there. I had some babes up there. I had, I think when I was really young, I definitely had a Hanson. I loved Hanson. And a Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

Is he cancelled now? Is he cancelled? Well, he's certainly not the progressive. He's not progressive. Let's just put it that way. I know, but this, I had a Marilyn Manson poster, so you know. Yeah, it was problematic.

Your posters are problematic. A few problems there. I was, like, addicted to buying Kerrang! magazine. Do you remember Kerrang? Yeah, yeah, yeah. When I was, like, emo. Like an alternative music magazine. Yeah, and they would always have, like, big poster specials,

and you'd rip them out and put them up on your walls. Like, My Chemical Romance, The Used. Did parents have any rules on Blu-Tack or pins? No, their plan was, when we left, was always to re-wallpaper or paint. So we were allowed pins. But my kids don't have posters on the wall and have never asked. That's because your wife's done an Instagram run. Yeah, I know.

Well, that's because magazines are dead. Yeah, where do you get posters from? Where do you buy posters? Yeah, well, I've seen in EB Games they've still got that big poster thing where you'd flick through it and you'd pick your posters. Yeah, that's good stuff. Well, you'd go to the movies after a movie had finished and they'd either give them away or...

Do you have any posters? Do you have any posters? That's right. But the problem with the movie ones is they were so massive they took far too much real estate. I used those curtains, actually, movie posters, when I lived in that conservatory. Oh, my God, that is so sad.

Yeah, I was paying $30 a week, baby. when I lived in that conservatory. Oh my God, that is so sad. Yeah, I was paying $30 a week, baby. I was making money by saving money. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, normally I'd be saying,

guys, the secret sound's coming up, but Irene has won it. Irene won it on Monday, $100,000. It was an egg cracking. I know. So season 12 is over.

It's so good. So many shows. So many shows. Is this his final season? It might be one of those ones where you just get in. Like time it with the actual final. I do love starting a season when there's like, I know I've got five to binge and I know I'm going to love a show.

Some of them will find that overwhelming, but you are a single man with absolutely zero obligations outside the hours you have to be here, so it's right up your alley. When I have to wait for things, I get sad. You get antsy. Yeah. How many kilograms of textiles, this includes fashion and textiles.

So what's, like blankets? Yeah. Okay. Duvet covers. Curtain? New sheets. I'm getting curtains. Are you getting curtains?

You are. Getting blackout curtains. Oh, this will pop up your amount. Okay. How many kilograms per person do you think Australians are purchasing? Oh, I don't know. And we'd be lumped in this. We're very similar with our spending and buying habits.

So if you got a hoodie or a jumper or a... That would be what? Like 300 grams? 300 grams. Depends. Am I wearing it while I weigh myself? Because if I am it's a kg. It's a kg, yeah right. Pops are kg, the pants are kg,

the socks are kg. I mean the bras are kg. The boots are 3 kgs each. At least. So you've actually lost weight. I lost like 10 kgs this morning. Yeah. Based on the outfit. What if I deduct the outfit? And then take it all off, weigh yourself again and you've put on weight somehow.

Yeah, wow. What? Magically. Per year, I don't know, like 5 kgs? No. I like to shop for clothes. 15 kgs? So 15 kgs of clothes.

Yes. 56 items per person. But when you include textiles, 27kgs per person. Wait, so most, okay, so that blankets and stuff. But most Australians are buying 56 items of clothing a year. 56 items of clothing per person per year. That's more than one a week. 90% of those new clothes are thrown out within 12 months.

Yeah, fast fashion. It's bad, isn't it? Like binned or put in the clothing recycling bin. So they can stuff them in boxing bags because that's what they do with old clothes sometimes. Well, so I remember seeing a documentary news piece, I think Four Corners, the ABC program, did it in Australia.

And they went to an African country where they ship all the Australian used clothes that go into like clothing bins because they don't all get sold at like op shops. No. A lot of them just get shipped overseas because there's literally so much. Yeah. And there were like mountains of clothes in landfills. Like, you know, like when you see big, vast sand dunes? Yeah.

It was like that, but clothes. Yeah. And it's like... It's pretty bad. It's pretty bad. Like, fast fashion is not good. No, it's not. And you just don't see those, like, that kind of image.

You're just saying, oh, well, the clothes, you wear them, you put them in a clothing bin, and you're like, it goes to an op shop. It goes to, yeah, the Dominion Road. And someone wears it. SPCA. Or they turn it into rags. But then that's also what happens to it goes to an op shop. It goes to, yeah, the Dominion Road. And someone wears it. SPCA. Or they turn it into rags. But then that's also what happens to it when it's being used.

To make it alone, so much water and resources used to make clothes, especially like fast fashion. Yeah, terrible. Like jeans that are worn in have literally been in a giant washing machine with rocks. Yes. And a ton of water flowing through it. Yeah.

I remember this because there's a women's fashion online retailer called Reformation, and their whole thing is like eco clothing, right? Right. And I didn't know this about jeans until I saw their jeans, and they said, oh, these jeans are made with X percent less water than normal jeans. I was like, how much water is jeans making? It's just denim. Heaps.

Yeah, and they can't. Because we don't often buy raw denim pants. It's too hard. It's very uncomfortable. That's what a guy said. You should buy them and wear them for six months and then they're wearable. But I'm like, well, then you put six months in. Into these pants. Into these pants. But then they fit you better apparently.

But yeah, that's raw denim's a real issue. Wow. So Australia apparently makes 38 million items of clothing each year on shore. But that's only 3% of the total fashion in the country. So 38 million. Being 3%. It doesn't bear to think about.

This is why I buy three t-shirts and two jumpers and just wear them to death. Yeah. Because you're an eco king. Because I'm an eco king. It absolutely works.

I thought it was because you were lazy but here I was wrong it seems. You were. If you liked today's podcast tell your friends you could send them
