The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast. Thanks to McCafe, download, scan and play the Monopoly game at Maccas to be in to win. I don't know if on the podcast I have officially said we've named the car for Highland. Hattie. Hattie is its name. It wasn't my vote. It wasn't my vote either. I wanted Hershey. Everybody knew it.

I was just steamrolled. Hey, I'm a dad with two daughters. You don't get a say. I'll call it a pushy wife. Yeah. She's pushy. And lippy. Lippy and pushy.

Lippy and pushy. She's a pushy woman. And she even threw it open. She was like, what should we name this calf on her Instagram? And people voted Hershey, and she just ignored the people. What a bitch. Why'd she even ask? That's what I said.

She does this all the time. She does it. She asks me my opinion too, but she doesn't give a fuck about it. No, God, no. Excuse my language. She asks about the tiles or the colours. She doesn't care what I think. She's already chosen.

It's to give you the illusion that you are involved in the decision-making process. Okay, but then I blow her illusion away. Like she's an illusionist and I'm a magician. I can see how the tricks working. And I say, I don't, I'm like, Oh,

I don't care. We have got to care. I said, no, because my kid doesn't matter. I'm not wasting my care points. Yeah. Yeah.

Wow. And it was on this. You ended up with a pink laundry. Bingo. I mean, I don't care. It's a lovely laundry. I don't care about the laundry,

to be honest. And to be honest, I didn't care. But then every now and then, I will have an opinion. It is your safe space though, the laundry. The laundry.

It's where he takes his iPad. Yeah, he puts the dryer on, lies on the floor, and just tries to tune it all out. The white noise. Cat door flaps open. You're like,

oh, I can't get a moment's bloody privacy around this place. So, yeah, the cow has been named Hattie. The calf is named Hattie. And the problem is I grew up on a farm where if you were friendly to the calves, they really liked you because the minute they were born, they were just torn from their mothers on the dairy farm, and they were then reliant on you.

So if you went in with milk or food or you put out your fingers that sucker you could give them cuddles and scratches and you could make calves friendly but this calf has got everything it needs from its mother it don't so it doesn't need me so it doesn't like it's not like okay i'll go and get scratches because it means i'm gonna get milk yeah it's it doesn't get anything from you it doesn't get anything from me so I have to really give it forcible cuddles Well maybe you should take a two litre of green top Blue top over there Yeah, but it's not hungry

Because if it's ever hungry Mum's just a teat on tap, you know Well are we going to get cuddles out of this thing? Well I'm going to get a halter for it Like a thing that you can lead around on Kinky Yeah, I've got one you can have Oh really?

What, for the... Yeah, for a big snout Yeah Aaron's got a big head doesn't he Yeah The whole snout Oh we're done with it We're upgrading

Yeah the puff's small So maybe the snout would be the Yeah okay The whole genital situation of one Giant Aaron Cortese Would it fit into your giant latex rubber suit Oh I don't know if it can be bothered with a whole talc. Yeah.

You know what I mean? The whole process is exhaustive. A wash and a cornflower. A wash and a cornflower. And you've got to shave so the fur gets in the way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got to be bald as the day you were born, you know? Well, so maybe.

But yesterday I forced hugs on the calf. When mum was having some new grass down the other end of where I've got them set up. I grabbed the calf and I was like, it's okay. And I was patting and scratching it behind its ears. And it was like, oh, oh, like I like it, but I don't know what's happening here. And then it was like, meh. And the mum, Hermione, turned around and looked

and just like charged me. She, from the other end of the paddock, just ran in a straight line because usually they get a bit silly and they run and they kick around and they jump like a rodeo cow. But she just lined me up and just sprinted straight towards me. And I was like, wow, this is how I die. Andy, my daughter, was there. I was like, hop behind me.

And she's like, we've got to get out of here. I was like, if she wants to get us, she's going to get us. But then she didn't. She stopped like a metre short. Is she a Tesla? She's got an auto brake. Wow. She's she a Tesla? And She's got an auto brake Wow She's got a Tesla feature

She's got a Tesla feature And she stopped And was like Looking And I was like It's okay Everybody Calm down

Oh, wow, it's about what I wore. Yeah, wow, okay, that's early, but I'm willing to have you cancelled. Wow, okay.

Immediately. It's going to be an interesting show. That didn't take long, did it? No, God. Three minutes into the show. It's a trip. Coming up on the show, Vaughan the Top Smith. The Top Smith?

The Top Six. In fact, we should just call it the Top Smith. I thought that you were just making a funny joke, and then I saw this look of confusion on your face. Vaughn the Top Smith. Is that your middle name? The Top. The Top.

I don't know if he's the top. Vaughn the First Smith. Top six uses for the Michael Hill fog cannon. This poor bastard was just a jeweler up north when his home burnt down and he put an ad in the Yellow Pages. That's how the ad went for years. For many years. Yeah.

And now he owns very expensive violin, launches. He's got a disgusting super yacht. Golf courses. Yeah. But people won't stop smashing, grabbing or ram raiding his stores. They've had the most, eh? Like the stats. It's nuts.

The one in Takapuna's been done three or four times now. Oh my god. It's just awful. It's insane. So they're installing fog cannons and yesterday gave us all a demo on how it'll work. Wow. Some of the dairies have had these. Yeah, on the door. Yeah. As a deterrent, but this is like

when you're in, if something happens, you won't be able to see any of your shinies. No. The staff have got a button on their lanyard. Yeah, so you'll probably just be grabbing shattered glass. Yeah. Ha ha. Ow, ow.

Don't do smash and grabs. I've got the top six other uses for the Muggle Fog Cannon coming up in the Top Smith. I don't know if that's sticking, is it? I love it. This is the Top Smith. Next on the show.? I love it. This is the top smith. Next on the show. Speaking of top, I've got the top hottest bald men. And last year's number one is not this year's.

Is this a yearly list? Yeah. I was unaware of this yearly list. Oh, get aware. Okay, but I'd imagine some of your big celebs are on this. Yeah, no, it's not just Dave from down the road who lost his hair 10 years ago and now he's ripped. But Dave is ripped. He should be on the list.

Dave is ripped. No, no, these are your famous. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Give them some good news. Give them some good news. Then give them some bad news. Then give them some bad news. Good, good, bad, good.

All right, it's time for good, good, bad, good. We've got some bad news, but like a management sandwich, you always, you know, if you're going to fire someone, you say, you've done such a great job. You're fired. But. We're really going to miss you. You know, so you've sandwiched it.

That's a management shit sandwich. Yeah. That I've just done there. You've done such a great job. Yep. Good. We have really valued your time here. Yes.

Good. You have been fired. Bad. Yeah. But we will miss you dearly. Good. Which does raise the question, if you're going to miss me so dearly, why are you firing me? Yeah, there's an easy solution to that.

I don't believe this. I don't believe this sandwich at all. I'll start with some good news. Do you remember NASA crashed that spacecraft into the asteroid? Yes. And we got that. $300 million oopsies. Yes.

Well, no, they did it on purpose. They did it on purpose because they wanted to see that if there was an asteroid coming to Earth, could we fire something at it with maybe a nuclear warhead on it or some kind of explosive charge? A laser. And could we blow it off course? Well, how much is 1,340 pounds in kgs? 340 pound in kgs. 1, 1340.

1340 pounds. Because that's how heavy. It's like kind of almost half-ish. Is it like half a tonne? It's 607 kilograms. Yeah. Kgs. Yeah.

Okay, so that's how heavy this spacecraft was. It crashed into the giant asteroid. If you haven't seen the video or the pictures up close just before it crashed in, it's incredible. But it managed, NASA with this crash managed If you haven't seen the video or the pictures up close just before it crashed in, it's incredible. But it managed, NASA with this crash managed to change the asteroid's trajectory. And it took it down from 11 hours 55 because it was orbiting somewhere. And it managed to take that down to 11 hours 23. So it bumped it enough out of orbit

that it did change its trajectory. Where is it? You really struggle with that word, don't you? Trajectory. Yeah. It's a TR sound into a J sound into another TR. Trajectory. So it's Dimorphos' orbital period around Didymos,

which is that weed we've got a problem with. I thought it was going to be Diophimus. Didymos, which is that weed we've got a problem with. I thought it was going to be Diophimus. Didymos, yeah. It was like that when you guys made up a Russian dude's name the other day. Slobberovinovich. No, that is not. He wasn't Russian. He was from Bosnia and there.

He was Serbian, I believe. Was he Serbian? Because we were talking about the Serbian berries that have got hepatitis A. I've got you off track. But I'm more than happy to talk a little bit more about Slobodan Milosevic, just because it's a fun name to say. Yeah, former president of Serbia. Yeah.

Slobodan Milosevic. Milosevic, yeah. Milovanovich. Yeah. This is good news. Good news, because if there's an asteroid ever coming, NASA have got this, guys. Pew, pew. No thanks.

Chuck a nuke on there. And then my worry is, though, that if they did put a nuke or a bomb on one of these spacecraft and fire it at an asteroid coming to Earth, hurtling towards Earth, it would just break it into two and make two. Yeah, and then split. And then split. Like Europe and Asia. Yeah.

Good one, NASA. America's like, but at least we're safe. Yeah. Yeah. You took out India and China, the two most populous countries in the world. Okay, give us some more good news before my bad news. I've got the absolute best news to the point where I'm actually going to order some of this. There is, quote unquote, a miracle pill that is now available for sale. And science, do you hear me? Science has proven that it is, in fact, a miracle pill that is now available for sale. And science, do you hear me?

Science has proven that it is in fact a miracle. The name is Miracle, M-Y-R-K-L, Miracle. And it's a supplement that you can take as you are drinking alcohol. Okay. And it determines it

has successfully broke down 70% of alcohol that you had consumed within 60 minutes of drinking. Suggesting that so the next day you wake up and it's kind of gone. Not only that, but the formula from Miracle also burned calories at the same rate and to the same time scale that it burnt alcohol, meaning that after 60 minutes of drinking, you know, 60 minutes after you've finished drinking, 70% of the calories you've induced, you've ingested, thank you, have also been metabolised. Now, when you say science, and I'm using big air quotation marks here, what, the company that's made this is saying this or has this?

No, this has been an independent study into this supplement. And you can buy it online. I think you should wait. No, I'm going to. I'm going to buy it literally on the website right now. Don't be the guinea pig for this. The results of this, it's the first formula in history to show a promising ability

to break down alcohol at that while also burning calories. Is there a however in this? There's got to be a long ability to break down alcohol while also burning calories. Is there a however in this? There's got to be a long-term side effect, right? There's got to be. This is too good to be true, Hayley. It's all natural. There's no kind of crazy thing to it. It's vagin.

Vagin? What's vagin? It's vegan. No meat. No meat in it. No meat in it. So the next day you should feel refreshed. What are the ingredients of this thing?

Miracle ingredients. Thoughts and prayers. Do you remember like a decade ago when we were all taking party pills? The miracle party pills? It's got science-based formulation with a proprietary mix of high-performing bacterias. Bacteria's good for us. I don't. Enriched with L-cysteine and vitamin B12.

So you're just taking a, they're selling you Barocca. Please note, food supplements are absorbed differently from one person to another. And may not work. Directions, take two capsules between two and 12 hours before drinking.

Do not exceed the recommended dose. Add to cart. I'm buying some. Try it out. Let us know. Yeah. You've got some bad news for us. Yeah, bad news. Yesterday New Zealand, nine new cases of community transmission of monkeypox

have been confirmed. Oh no. That's no good news at all. This brings the total to 20 confirmed cases in the current outbreak, including both active and recovered. Now, these new cases are in Auckland and two in Wellington. So be careful out there. Be careful out there.

There's a vaccine, right? There is, but there's only one place in the world that makes it. And we're at the bottom of the list. And it's not looking like any vaccines are going to roll out until at least December. Right. So they've made, yesterday they made monkeypox testing free. So if you think you've got like a weird skin rash or some lesions or anything like that, you can go to a GP, ring a head though that, you can go to a GP ring a head though

or you can go to a testing place and it will be free to test for monkeypox. And you should get tested if you've got any kind of like rash or symptoms. Is it still primarily being spread through sexual contact? Yes. Okay. And I was reading yesterday it's about 90%

but it can be like spit droplets, saliva, kissing, skin-to-skin contact. I was going to say, can it be skin-to-skin? And, you know, a lot of the cases are men having sex with men in that community, but it's not exclusively to that. So when the outbreaks overseas, there have been like kids have had it. Yes, yeah. Straights.

Whatever it is, a a straight these days? You know? So, you know, yeah. If you've got any health line, it would be the best bet or your local GP and your testing is free.

So if you've got any kind of worries, get tested and maybe just pull back. Pull back. Pull back from, yeah.

Sexy times. Sexy times, yeah. Just for a little bit. Tomorrow on the show, actually we're going to chat to Dr. Susie Wiles, a friend of the show. I'm a huge fan. Yeah, about monkey pox, what we can do to be safe. Yeah, you thought we'd stop talking to epidemiologists, did you?

Yeah, yeah. Wrong, because diseases haven't gone anywhere. Well, that's my bad news. Let's finish with some good news. Do you want good news about onions or good news about grease? Grease as in? Grease in the country, not grease as bad news. Let's finish with some good news. Do you want good news about onions or good news about Greece? Greece as in? Greece and the country, not Greece as in like. The musical?

The musical or the island. I love onions. They upset my stomach, though. FODMAP, isn't it? Yeah, big FODDY. Bad news for you. So I guess that's not good news for everybody. But scientists have worked out that onions could be like the best natural fight against diabetes,

type 2 diabetes, or getting type 2 diabetes, moving into the area of type 2 diabetes. Because I've got polycystic ovarian syndrome, which can very easily, because you have insulin resistance, lead to type 2 diabetes. So I've got to hone the onions. So onions, yeah, they have an extract in them that can lower blood sugar levels by 50%.

Do onion rings count? No, darling. No. I mean, the batter around it? It's probably an absolute neutral. No, I don't think deep fried onion rings are a neutral food. Have you heard of onion ring poutine? What?

Somebody, I was listening to the Conan O'Brien podcast and somebody mentioned onion ring poutine and I was like doing something and I literally stopped and I stood there and I just for five minutes thought about onion ring poutine. It would make them go soggy though, wouldn't it? No, it doesn't make the chips go soggy.

Oh my God. Yeah, that's good stuff. Good news, good, good, good news there, Vaughn. Good, great news. Thanks, onions, for being so great. Play ZM's? Good news, good, good, good news there, Vaughan. Good, great news. Thanks, Onions, for being so great. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. From the sophisticated ZM Think Tank, this is the top six. Michael Hill, jeweler.

Michael Hill. Jeweler. Well, growing up, he used to do all the ads, didn't he? He used to do all the TV ads. Now he doesn't. Kind of takes a back seat, doesn't he? Michael Hill. Jeweler.

brother brother and son Michael Hill the jewelers have had 40 security incidents this year alone compared to

pre this year of ram raids and smashing grabs about 5 to 10 a year it's awful it's so awful It's so awful. It's so bad the Takapuna store is closed until further notice,

it says in this article. Because are they owned? Is it owned by, what do you call it? Michael Hill. The group or individual? No, I think it's owned by the group. You know how, like, you can buy a pitta pit? Individuals.

And you can run a pitta pit? Oh, franchises. Franchised. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would have said you could be a franchisee for a... It's like, hon, Michael Hill don't sell wraps. You can buy a pitter-pitter or you can buy a Michael Hill. They do like salads and chicken tenders.

But yesterday they demonstrated their new fog cannons in store. So the staff will have a little button on their lanyards. And if they see some youths or some smashing grabbers coming in, they can press this button, and it will basically fill the entire jewellery store with fog. And a siren. That is a thick fog, man. You won't be able to, you can't see through that thing.

It's not like a nightclub. Too thick. Too thick. Too thick. So I got the top six uses for the Michael Hill fog cannon. Number six, a school disco. Yeah. Because you're humming and no one's going to be, you know, well, either they're not going to be able to find a partner

to have a smirch with. Yep. Or the teachers aren't going to see them absolutely smooching in the corner. Mack him. Absolutely. Big pash. Big pash energy. Tonguey pash.

Your wet pash. A real slobbery tonguey pash in the corner because of the Michael Hill Jeweler fog cannon. So thick. Yep. So thick. Our top six uses for the Michael Hill fog cannon number five, moody car photo shoots. Oh. Spray like a...

And then have a car drive through it, and just as the car gets coming out, lights on, take your photo, and you'll have the swirl of the smoke, and your car's never going to look sexier, and then you can put that as your Tinder profile, and pretty much the babes will just flow in. Oh, they'll flow in, yeah. They'll flow.

Just... Like salmon up a stream. They'll be doing anything they can to get to you in your hot car. Number four on the list of the top successes for the Michael Hill fog cannon. Really spice up a gym sesh. Oh, yeah, okay. You know, you guys do these cycle classes. Oh, yeah, we do.

Just absolutely hoon it. So it's like you are actually cycling outside, but you're just cycling through the Waikato in early winter, and it's just very foggy. Also, then the instructor won't see you going half-arse. Yeah. Yeah, you're about to crank it right back. And just kind of cruise.

Take a half pedal. Yeah. Cruise in the fog. Number three on the list of the top six uses for the Michael Hill fog cannon. Deterring burglars by pretending there's a dragon living in your garage. Like team it up with a Put your Huey boom. Yeah.

Yeah. Smoke comes out. Yes. No one's going in there. No one's robbing your house. Number two on the list of the top six uses for the Michael Hill fog cannon. During a flat inspection to hide all the things you don't want the landlord to see. Oh, yeah.

And then they're like, what is all this fog? But they're like, well, I don't know, man. It's your house. You tell me. Yeah. The condensation here is intense, Margaret. It's horribly under-insulated. Look, you can see your own breath. And then it hides the big hole in the wall.

Bingo. After a party. Bingo. And number one on the list of the top successes in the wall. Bingo. After a party. Bingo. And number one on the list of the top successes for the Michael Hill fog cannon. And the man himself might even be on board for this. An exciting adults only no clothes party game. All right.

You don't know what you're grabbing, who you're grabbing, where you're grabbing. Just grabbing. We're just hands out. You're doing a smash and grab. You're going to do a bit of a smash and grab. You do a bit of a smash and grab. Punch someone and grab.

Hoink, hoink, tong, tong. Hoink, hoink, tong, tong. It could all happen because you can't see through the fog. That is today's top six. Well, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and them big boobies. Wow. That's the new one.

That's the fourth edition. Right. The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and them big boobies. Wow. You can only see what we were doing. The action writes itself. Yeah. Well, Vaughn, you are absolutely tiptoeing across

blasphemy is what you do. Sacred ground. Yes. We did say a prayer before the show though, so I think we should be still protected. Yeah, we did. We did.

Yeah, sure. We did rock a little prayer before the show this morning just to see how that worked. So far I haven't noticed any huge difference. It felt good at the time though. That a Christian influencer has received

Hollywood breast implants. How? No, so when you get breast implants, you can have saline solution or the silicon, traditional silicon, sort of a silicon thing. That was going to be my question. What is an breast implant? So saline solution is water, right?

It's like a salt water. Yes. Silicon gel or silicon breast implants, more traditional. But they were the ones that, were there problems when they leaked? Yeah. I've heard you changed that. Yeah, some people had leaky ones. Yeah.

So I think they just put double layers on. Double bag it. Yeah, double bag it. Double bag. Double. So I think they just put double layers on. Double bag it. Yeah, double bag it. Double bag it. Double bag it. Double bag it and away you go. You're good. Yeah, but just blessed.

Blessed saline. Had the saline blessed. Wow. So what, it's holy water from like the church holy fountain? Well, no, any water could be holy water if it's blessed by a holy man. Oh, right. Or a holy woman. So you could be filling it up out of the tap

Give it a blessing And as long as it's blessed, oh right, okay So she's got holy breasts Very Very, okay, wow And what is, is that supposed to help? Well she's got bigger boobs So I think she did this under the guise of

Getting closer to God Yeah, I'm a Christian influencer. You guys make donations and I'll do this. Now, I know this is America, but this sounds to me like a great IRD tax loophole for breast implants or a boob job. Oh, because it's church related. Because it's influencer related.

Yeah. So she'll be writing this off as a business expense. Yeah. Can you write cosmetic this off as a business expense. Can you write cosmetic surgery off as a business expense? Well, you can write, like if you're an actor on TV like myself, you can write off a lot of grooming stuff. Yeah, I've got a grooming category

when I do my GST. But could you get a boob job and say it's for my acting work? I guess you could, you'd have to, if you got audited, you'd have to justify the need for that. Like where that need came from. Were you told by an agent or was it for a particular job? So you'd need like a letter from Shortland Street saying like,

we're turning Hayley down for this job. They're not big enough. I often think this though, and I'll admit here, like if Latches had get someone from Shorten Street to say, it's such a shame we would have had a core cast years ago and not been for those little baby bees. But it's so questionable, that write-off thing. Because they go like, technically they're going,

you can write off your gym membership, right? Because you say, I've got to stay fit. I've got to stay in good shape for work. No one's ever told me that. No one's ever said that. And sometimes I'm like, could I write off my laser? No one's ever said it needed to be,

you know. Oh yeah, but you can't say it down there. Oh, and you can't say it. Yeah, you can't say it. If you want someone to say it,

I'll throw myself, I'll be a pariah. I'll throw myself out there. I'll be a martyr. Just have it back to our, our Christian origins of this voice, bro. Yeah. You've got to keep it tight, bro.

I've got to be comfortable. Working with a host full bush. I think IRD would just walk away from this audit. I don't think they'd want to get involved. I'm happy to prove to you why I needed to do this. I could write it off. I don't know about boobies or cosmetic surgery.

Yeah. But like dentistry, question mark? Like teeth whitening would be, I guess so. Yeah, not dental. Like not, you know. Fillings. You can't say I needed my filling done for having been paying attention.

For short-lens straight. But teeth whitening, cosmetic stuff. Yeah. So then you go maybe a nose job. I'm going to ask, can you write off? I mean, it's a slippery slope. And then the ID come and they're like, we're here to audit you.

And you're like, I'm glad to see you. I just had a little bit of work done. And your face is all tight and stuff. I got this beautiful photo television. So this is, I mean, this is from America, but can I write off cosmetic surgery on my taxes? It technically comes down to appearance, which, or like our category is grooming. Yeah, right.

Wow. But you see, it is a bit of a gray area. Things like breast augmentation or liposuction. Yeah, but I'm running my OnlyFans, so I reckon I could write it off. You could actually do an experiment. You could do your OnlyFans when you're looking tight. Yeah. And then put on a whole lot of weight. Yeah. You could actually do an experiment. You could do your OnlyFans when you're looking toit. Yeah. And then put on a whole lot of weight.

Yeah. See how you go. Yeah. And if your numbers dip, you could get the liposuction. Oh, yeah. And then have your teeth. Yeah. And then mangle your teeth and see if your numbers go down. Warrant a teeth job.

Teeth job? Tooth job? No, that doesn't sound right at all, does it? Mouth job. Mouth. Whoa! He didn't think of that as coming out of his mouth job. No.

But the problem is on OnlyFans, there's something for everybody, you know? Yeah, that's true. You go out there and you're like, oh, look, these are my real teeth. I have my veneers taken off. Your numbers might pop off because people are like, my kink is manky teeth. Manky, yeah. Who knows? Manky mouth.

Well, anyway, let's avoid an IRD audit by doing none of the above. I'm sure accountants and Christian influencers have really appreciated this voice break. I mean, God bless. Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley. Play ZM. Fletchford and Hayley's silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole.

Silly little pole. Silly little pole. And dessert. Yum. Yes. Yum. Yum. Yum.

Well, yum. Yum. I'm just thinking about desserts. I haven't had any because I'm on a journey to hell. Yum. Yum. Yum. Well, yum. Yum. I'm just thinking about desserts. I haven't had any because I'm on a journey to hell. Same. Oh. Although I'm acting hard done by, I did absolutely demolish a block of chocolate at the weekend.

Cheat day. Go for it. Do you eat dessert with a teaspoon or a big spoon? Now, I was always a big spoon boy because I just wanted to eat it all as quick as possible. Before your brother or sister could eat it? Yeah, before anybody else could get into it. But now

that I am a big boy I use a little spoon. Like a teaspoon. It's a mental game right? It's like using a smaller plate and filling it up versus having a bigger plate that doesn't look as full. You use a little spoon and it feels like more mouthfuls. It's a battle against the brain in here.

I kind of alternate. It'll just depend how I'm feeling. Yeah, because sometimes I like a little spoon because it feels like it lasts longer and you get to sort of savour it. But then it depends also what you're eating for dessert. If you've got like a lot of desserts and maybe there's some stuff that needs a bigger spoon, like, I don't know, like a cake. Why does a cake need a bigger spoon?

Well, because you might want a bit of ice cream on there, a bit of cake, a bit of something else, you know what I mean? Yeah, and you want to construct the perfect vibe. So you might want a bit of fruit. Yeah. So you want to... And then you get a serving spoon and you just go, ahhh! Yeah. So in that case, you use the dessert spoon. Okay.

But this was quite an overwhelming response, wasn't it? 71% of people said it's teaspoon, baby. It's teaspoon for me. Teaspoon. 29% of big spoons. But it's literally, a big spoon's called a dessert spoon. Yeah. Case in point.

If I eat soup, I don't use the soup spoon. It's too... Why don't you use the soup spoon? They're so circular. I think it encourages... No, I don't use the soup spoon. Why don't you use the soup spoon? They're so circular. I think it encourages... No, I can get it in. I just think it encourages slurping. You do have a petite mouth, though, doesn't he?

I've got a big, little, tiny little mouth. Little, tiny little mouth. No, no, no, no. It's a big mouth. Good morning. What could you do? Morning. It's a big man's mouth.

Listen to how cavernous it sounds. Some feedback. Jessica says teaspoon becausevernous it sounds. Some feedback. Jessica says teaspoon because it makes it last longer. Yeah, good call. Jessica's on board. Dustin says teaspoon because... Dustin. Like Dustin Hoffman.

I heard that too. I haven't heard that name before. Dustin of Stranger Things. It's a great name. It's a great name. It needs a comeback. I guess it will after Stranger Things. Yeah, so there'd be a few Dunstons. I was going to say Dustin Chexson. It's Dunston name. It's a great name. It needs a comeback. I guess it will after Stranger Things.

Yeah, so there'd be a few Dunstons. I was going to say Dustin Chexson. It's Dunston Chexson. That's Dunston the monkey. Dustin Diamond. Stretch from Saved by the Bell. Oh, yeah. Because it's a real, like, I mean, Stranger Things is, what, 80s now? 80s?

Yeah. 70s, 80s? Set in the 80s, yeah. Dustin Hoffman. Yeah, Dustin Hoffman. Wow. Dustin Hoffman's 85 years old. Dustin.

Is he? BTW. Yes. It's like Justin, but with a D. Yeah. It's a Dustin. Okay, well, thank you, Dustin. How does he eat his dessert?

Teaspoon, because when the ice cream melts, you can use it to scoop out the bowl in little mouthfuls. So he's saying it takes him so long that by the end of it, there's a little puddle there and he can get the teaspoon in. Either way, whatever spoon I'm using, it doesn't take me long. No, neither. I hoover that dessert. I use my hands or a fork.

I don't care. Middle spoon, says Jess, bucking the trend entirely. Middle spoon? I've genuinely kept the spoon only from a kid's cutlery set just for this purpose. Not too big, not too small, just right. She's Goldilocks to spoon that. Oh, right. So she's going for like a kid's... A kid's

big spoon. Yeah, a kid's size big spoon. Yeah. Which is an adult size medium. George said teaspoons for children. What is even the point of them? Aggressive words against the teaspoon there. Yeah, wow. Really taking an aggressive point of view. Alicia said big spoons equal

bad vibes. Oh, okay. She says little spoons for good vibes. Yeah, I'd like to know what exactly about the big spoon. Well, maybe she's spilt a few things in her time. Maybe. Maybe she's got a tiny mouth like you. Jeremy says, depends what it is. Mostly with a fork unless it's just ice cream.

Then it's with a ladle. A ladle. He obviously really likes his ice cream. Get it in there by the gallon. Sopping from a ladle. A ladle? He obviously really likes his ice cream. Get it in there by the gallon. Ice cream with a little spoon, says Gemma. Other things with a big spoon. Yeah. Like I said, it depends what you've got on your plate,

on your dessert plate. Emma raises a very good point. I'm on board with Emma. A teaspoon, specifically a long-handled teaspoon, if available. Oh, like a sundae spoon? Yeah. We've got sundae spoons. They rule. Yeah, because you can get to the bottom of the glass without getting

a mucky hand. You can get the goopy sundae chocolate out of it. The little head, yeah. Yeah. Long teaspoons are the king of teaspoons. And even when you make a cup, there's one at work every now and then and I'll make a couple with it. Oh, that's a long handle. Yeah. Yeah, it feels good. Get a swill on. Yeah. Feels real

good, that is. It's a little pop. So we know about the Great Resignation happening across Australia and the world. New Zealand and the world. Where people are just quitting their jobs or getting ready to quit their jobs to go do something else.

Because it's too stressful. Too stressful. Our whole perspective on the world has changed, given that we've got locked up and we know what's important. An Australian man has quit his job. His name is Paul. He was earning six figures.

Just over $100,000 Australian. I've seen a few news stories like this. This is like a thing, people are just too stressed, even though they're earning good money. Yep. They just want a simple life, a simple job.

Yep. He worked in finance. Oh, no way. He said it was a job that he was good at rather than passionate about. Constantly, he said, much of the work that I was doing, it's just paper pushing and million dollar people

talking about first world problems. And one day he just woke up and thought, oh my God, there's got to be more to life than chasing around every temporary high. There's got to be more. Are you finding that song? You know it. Stacey Oric.

Arico, yeah, Stacey Arico. Absolute banger. Give it to me, I need it. Oh my God, this is such a good flashback. Right. Have we done this before? Maybe years ago? Definitely.

Here we go. The school bus. Anyway, so this guy Paul, right, he wakes up and he's thinking, this song must have been on the radio. Yeah. And he went, oh my god Stacey, you're so right. You're speaking to me. All these years later. You're speaking to me.

Late ancient Greek philosophy runs as true now as then. To satisfy me. Banger. Absolute banger. So Paul's looking in the mirror singing this to himself. Yeah. Do you know what he does? He calls up his boss and says, stuff it.

Wow. I don't want your $100,000. I want to spend time with my family. I want to live under less stress. If he's in finance, he's earning six figures. He's earning more than $100,000. Oh, I know. That's finance people.

That's the ballpark figure that he's given there. Oh, is it? Okay, right. So he said every Sunday afternoon, we talked about the Sunday Scaries earlier this week. He said he got tense, horrible. He just thought, oh, my God, I can't do this. Like his whole life was just stress.

So he said, let's just be happier. Yeah. And then this got reaffirmed by Stacey here. I have just been alerted by producer Jared that this has not been done for Friday Flashback. Well, now we've done it. No, not in its entirety. It's me. Tomorrow.

Is it you tomorrow? Stay tuned. We're going to play the song again. This peaked at number three in New Zealand, Norway number two, number five in the US. Well, no wonder it's speaking to people now. I've once chosen a song for Friday Flashback

that ranked at number 27, so I'm not mad at three. I mean, the charts are... Yeah, who cares? So Paul, right, he's got a family. He decided to go back to McDonald's, which was his first job at age 15. Show sponsor.

Show sponsor. Key change. He got the key change and he thought, do you know what? I'm going to return to my roots. Mickey D's. But not to work as a server this time, to work as the overnight cleaner. So he switched his entire life. Now he works 11 p.m. till 7 a.m.

And does he deal with, he wouldn't deal with people. No people. He gets home in time to take his kids to school, loving the change. He said job satisfaction, way up. Stress, way down. No constant moving goalposts. No rubbish meetings. If something's dirty,

I clean it. And he said he's so satisfied. He gets a new piece of equipment. The floors look better than they've ever looked before. He gets to go home. And then he just leaves the office with no stress. His pay was cut in half. And he's happier than ever. Isn't that amazing?

Less stress, yeah. Walk away from it. Especially in a job like finance, when you're responsible for other people's money, that would weigh on you. Like, at least if we make a mistake in a job, like, you know, a song stops playing. A song stops playing or, you know,

we say something that you don't find entertaining. Or we cut off a song abruptly. I just wanted to show everybody that was a mistake I made on purpose. Yeah. But to say, like, that's about as bad as it gets, you know? Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

There has been a list of hottest bald celebs. It comes out every year. And last year's number one was Prince Will. And he's not number one this year. No, he's also not bald. No, he needs to shave it. He needs to either shave it or he's not number one this year. No, he's also not bald. No, he needs to shave it. He needs to either shave it or he's not on the list. Yeah.

Because is every other celeb on the list, do they have like zero hair? Yeah, I think so. We'll go through the top ten. Because he also is, if he was just a, I don't know, a mechanic, he would have shaved it a long time ago. Yeah, but he's not allowed, the royals aren't allowed to go skin. No, he's not. So do you know they do this in a way,

so they don't only go, who's a hottie bald man? They work out like a kind of a golden ratio way of cranial luminance and candalous, it's crazy. Like how luminescent is it, the size of it, the shape of the forehead, all this kind of stuff. Right, it's got to be in proportion. It's really got to be in proportion. That's good to know. Not everyone can rock a bald head.

No. And some people, once they do it, you're like, oh my God, the best decision you've ever made. You look incredible. Well, some people love to hang on, don't they? Oh. Hang on. They love to, you know, comb it over. Swim forward, over. Well, that people love to hang on, don't they? Hang on. They love to, you know, comb it over. Well, that's Prince William.

I know, but again, I feel sorry for him because he's not allowed to go skinhead. He's not allowed to shave it. He has to have those crazy songs. Would he not say Prince William would join the skinheads? No. As much as he'd love to join, you know, the skinheads, he's not allowed to shave it down to the skin. No.

Well, he's not out of the top 10, but here we go. Here's the top 10 hottest bald men based on this golden ratio. Number 10, Mike Tyson. Oh, okay. Not quite. Did they only have 10? Yeah. No offense to Mike Tyson.

No, neither. But in terms of this golden ratio, to give you a clue, the top spot is 6.46 out of 10. Okay, right. In terms of perfection. Mike Tyson, 2.5 out of 10. So he's much further down the list. He's had many fights.

He's had many knots. He's a bit mangled. Yeah, I reckon you can almost guess this list. Number nine, Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Wow, I thought he would have been higher. I thought I would have thought that too. But maybe his ratio is all out. Maybe he's lacking in luminescence.

Big hugger. Big physical connector. How have you found working with Vaughn and I not being overly physical people? Really difficult. You come from a drama background where I'm assuming it's... If I was doing this show, this radio show, with drama school students, you wouldn't have your hand on the mouse. We'd be holding hands just as we did it. Why?

And then every morning we'd turn up, we'd be like, hello, on the lips. No. No. Really? Yeah. No. And in between songs,

just kind of cuddle up with each other? Move as one. Yeah, right. Roll upon each other. Roll. I saw my mum yesterday And as we were parting ways I kind of went to think

Okay You get back here For a cuddle Not this time Alright next time then Mark me down for one next time. That's right. We're all different. We all express our love differently.

Mine's cuddling. And there is a woman who is a certified cuddler. In fact, you can find her on cuddlist.com where you can find this is in America, you can find a cuddler for some cuddle therapy.

It's like, it's kind of like Tinder, but you would go on and you would find someone and be like, oh my God, she looks nice. I would love a cuddle from her. Creepy. No, it's not. It's important. So her name is Amy and she is a trained cuddlist. Most of her clients are men between the ages of 40 and 60 who have been deprived of human contact, be it because they don't have a partner

or they're busy businessmen who... Or they lost their partner. They lost their partner or perhaps she deals with people with disabilities that don't spend a lot of time with other humans. And she says that people need the joy and wonder of touch. And so she gets hired by these people off Cuddlist.com to go over to their house and cuddle them.

So there's enough of demand that there is a whole website. Like heaps. And it's been in like Washington Post, New York Times, Forbes. It's like in all the magazines. Wow. And you's been in like Washington Post, New York Times, Forbes. It's like in all the magazines. Wow. And you go on these like profiles. Everyone is the perfect fit for someone. So you go, here's Alejandro, certified cuddlist.

And then he says a little bit about himself and he's in Dallas, Texas. And you go view profile and then you can book them. Yeah. So this woman, she earns $80 an hour. $80 an hour? $80 an hour? Yeah, American. But so she would... What's that?

120? Yeah, well, at the moment it's bloody near double. But would you go over and then you cuddle them and then what, you leave? Do you just watch a movie and cuddle? Yeah, so there's no sexual element to it whatsoever. I know, but who... Surely someone's crossed the line here. No sexual activity involved. There's a code of conduct. whatsoever. I know, but who, I'm surely someone's crossed the line here.

No sexual activity involved. There's a code of conduct. The moment they do cross the line, it's over. It's over, right. Okay. They screen them, you know, they do checks and stuff. And I guess it would be like any kind of app-based rating system. Yeah, totally.

If you're a good cuddler, you build up your five stars. Yeah, like Uber. Yeah. That could be Uber's next thing. Deliver cuddles. Uber cuddle. Oh, my God. Imagine having a hangover.

Imagine having a hangover and you're on the couch and someone drops off. Your nuggies. Your nuggies. And? And cuddles you for like half an hour. And then your partner comes in and they're like, what's going on here? It's from, I got a cuddler. Hayley, we can't afford it.

You can't do this every week. You've got to stop taking up cuddlers. Yeah. So he's more angry at the fact that you're spending money a cuddler. Hayley, we can't afford it. You can't do this every week. You've got to stop taking up cuddlers. Yeah. So he's more angry at the fact that you're spending money on cuddlers rather than the fact that you're cuddling another man.

Yeah. Or woman. This woman, yeah, well, this woman has a husband and initially he was like, I don't know about this. But she like explained that there was no intimacy

beyond cuddles and she explained to him that our skin is pretty much our primary sense organ. You guys need more cuddles. Your skin is like lingering for a cuddle. I remember when I moved to Auckland and Aaron hadn't moved to Auckland yet and I'd been so deprived of touch and I got a massage and as soon as her fingers touched my skin, my back went, ugh!

And it like shot up towards her and I was like, sorry, I haven't been touched for a while. And then she had to rub me for an hour knowing that was in the room. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Yesterday we were talking I was wearing my vest And it's a vest that really gets people talking

It's like it's been hand knitted for you Yeah it hasn't though It's a mass produced Fashion item It's not mass produced, Koto New Zealand brand Organic cotton Semi produced on mass

Semi mass Small amount, no it's cotton I always assumed it was wool New Zealand brand. Organic cotton. Right, semi-produced on mass. Semi-mass. Is it like wool? Small amount. No, it's cotton. I always assumed it was wool. Nah, cotton. That was why sometimes I was like,

how can you be wearing that? It must be so hot. Nah, it's not too hot. But we were laughing and saying like it's a good vest, but it's the kind of vest that's distinct every time I wear it. In fact, Ross Boss walked in and said, you've already worn that vest this week. Which is rich from him. Rich from him.

Because he wears the same. Black t-shirt. Like I do, like a very slimming black or navy t-shirt. Exactly. And jeans. Easy. It's a male uniform. Anyway, so then we were talking about the fact,

and Madeline saw me, saw me wearing this vest, and she said, oh my God, I love the vest. And I was like, thank you so much. And then she kept looking at me and she's like, I really love the vest. And I was like, well, I'm not giving it to you. She's like, no, no, no, no. But I might buy it. And I was like, yeah, that's okay. She went on and literally ordered it then and there and was like, I've bought it. Oh, so she was

needing your permission. Yeah, well, because we hang out a lot. So if you'd said, oh, I'm a bit uncomfortable with that, I've got it first. Yeah. But you can't say that. But you can't say that. But you can't say that. It's like someone said when someone comes into your house with shoes on and they say, are shoes okay?

Then you've got to be the person to be like, not really. No, because if shoes are old, tell people it's fine to wear shoes in my house. I don't care. No, but I don't want people wearing shoes in my house. But if you put that on me, that's not fair. Just take your shoes off by default. We've worn shoes in his house, haven't we?

Yeah, we have. It was noted. It was marked. Well, I said, is it okay? Actually, no, I haven't worn shoes in your house. Don't put it on me. Just take them off. You should see all the shoes at the door and assume we're a non-shoe household.

But you just have a lot of shoes. The girls have a lot of shoes. That's what I think. And the shoe rack. That's just the shoes we've just taken off. I'm just going to make it public. Our house is a no-shoe house. Right.

So if a friend has an item of clothing, is it all right for you to buy one? We ran a poll and 68%, so close to nice, said, yeah, it's fine. Yeah, well, you know, me and producer Carwin and producer Anna, we all rock the same pants. George has got those pants too. George has got them too. Who started with the pants? I want to say.

Carwin. I bought them first. No. No, I'm sorry, Carwin. Carwin. Carwin was wearing the pants. Carwin, I'm sorry. I stood on your toes there.

It was me. So Carwin was wearing them and she came in and I said, Carwin, the pants. Amazing pants. And then I said, I know those pants. And she said, she's wearing them today. I'm sort of over them. Did you just hold your pants up to the microphone like we could hear?

The pants have something to say. It sounded like it. These ones. These ones. But then I said, I love these pants. We started talking about the pants. And then me and Anna bought the pants. And then Georgia bought the pants.

And then the company who made the pants. And then they sold out of the pants. And then they Anna bought the pants and then Georgia bought the pants and then the company who made the pants and then they sold out of the pants and then they sent us more pants. I've got two of the pants. I've got three of the pants now. It was the power of radio. It was an avalanche of pants. I know. Pants and avalanche. How did you feel about this, Carwain, that you started that trend? Did you feel like

you should have been the only one with the pants? Nah, it's kind of flattering, you know? If someone wants to look like me, fine. What if one of the people in the office was your arch nemesis only one with the pants? Nah, it's kind of flattering, you know? Like, if someone wants to look like me, fine. What if one of the people in the office was your arch nemesis and they bought the pants? Then I would be burning them and not wearing them again. Yeah, exactly. Here we go. Well, this is what we want to know is if you've ever had a rift over clothing,

someone having the same item of clothing as you, what about wedding dresses? Oh, yeah. thing as you what about wedding dresses because i yeah my to me and i know this is bad but to me most wedding dresses look the same if it's off the shoulder oh my god racist oh my god it's so it looks the same as all the ones with long puffy sleeves if it's long it looks the same as all the other oh my god yeah i kind of like you they kind of all do they all look the same as all the other long ones. Oh, my God. Yeah, I kind of like you. They kind of all do look the same. They do all look the same. I wouldn't know. I couldn't even tell you.

I know what my wife's wedding dress looked like, but I couldn't tell you anybody else's. Nah, you're so right. They were just not white. They were white. They looked like neck curtains from the 80s. Oh, my God. Shut up.

With some taffeta. But I thought this because when I got engaged, my best friend still had her wedding dress. Now, we're similar sizes, but she's shorter than I am. Yeah. And she was like, well, you could just get the hem taken down and you'd just wear it. And I was like, huh.

That's pretty wild. But that'd be crazy, right? Your best friend's in your chair. Yeah, and then we'd have our photos and it'd be like, this is the same. Looking the same. But no one would ever see your photos at the same time. I don't think people would.

I don't know, we share a lot of friends. But if you've ever had a photos at the same time. I don't think people would. I don't know. We share a lot of friends. But have you ever had a rift over the same item of clothing? You wore something and someone copied you immediately and then they wore it all the time so you could never wear it? Was there a fallout with your friends? We want to hear from you this morning. 0800 DALES at M is the number.

You can text as well, 9696. When did wearing the same clothing item cause a rift? In the friend group. In the friendship. Or with friends. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Seven minutes away from eight.

So we want to know from you this morning when the same item of clothing has caused a rift in a friendship. Someone's copied you. Yeah. And now you can't wear it because you're like, God, this is always wearing that jacket. Now I can't wear it.

If they look better in it than you, then you can't wear it again, can you? Oh my God. Or what about when someone borrows your clothing and then they're like, oh my God, can I borrow this? And they put it on and you're like, well, damn it, you look so good in that.

Yeah, a few messages on that. I hate that. So we want to know from you when it's caused problems. Someone said I'll send you $5 if you get a call from any guy

about a clothing rift because if ever I see another guy wearing the same thing as me I'm always like, rad. And that is true when you're a guy

and you see someone in the same thing you're like, cool hoodie or rad hat. Sweet shirt. It's like you automatically got a little bit

of a bond there. Yeah. So, you know, we'll put that out there. If there's any guys that's a big challenge. If there's any guys a clothing rift has been caused because they bought the same thing as me. Someone wants to dob in their mum. Oh, okay. Mum bought exactly the same puppy jacket as me in secret and then she

did the same with a Lululemon zip up jacket. Same colour and everything. I said, why the same colour? She said, well I know it looks nice. Also puppy with a Lululemon zip-up jacket. Same colour and everything. I said, why the same colour? She said, well, I know it looks nice. Also, puppy jacket in Lululemon. What is a puppy jacket? A jacket for your puppy. Oh, I thought it was a puffer jacket.

Typo. A jacket for your puppy. It might be a puppy jacket. But if it's a puppy jacket in Lululemons, I have such an image of these women. Yeah. I have such an image. All right, so if the same item of clothing has caused

a fight between friends, give us a call. We're having so many texts about the bloomin' pants. We can't all be wearing the pants, every woman in New Zealand. We can't all be wearing them. They do look comfortable though. Dude, they're so good but good enough that you could wear them to a bar. Tell people where the pants are because more people are asking about

the pants and having risks. Are we saying that they could be worn to a bar? Absolutely you could wear these to a bar. With a sneaker and a leather jacket. That can't be pants. No, 100% to a bar. Absolutely. Maybe even with heels.

Have some decorum. Oh my god, Carwen. If you put the right top with them. Can you just please put away your Hawke's Bay? It's showing. My lord. Wear them with them. Can you just please put away your Hawke's Bay? It's showing. My Lord. Wear them with heels. Good God. Good Lord.

Good God. Anyway, they're from Taylor Sport. You can buy them from Sterling Sport. Shout out to Taylor Sport. They sent me a drink bottle. What are you getting? A kickback for these pants? Yeah, come on.

They didn't send me any of these pants. You should wear the pants. I've got three pairs of pants. We could all be wearing them. You guys have been wearing them all winter. You girls have been wearing them all winter. They do look good. Yeah, but they also transitioned to summer.

They're the perfect pair. We want to know this morning about wearing the same item of clothing as a friend. Has it caused a fight or an issue? And this does happen a lot. Somebody said you were just talking about guys bumping into each other when they're wearing the same clothes and automatically forming a bit of a bro relationship. Yeah.

It happens. We've had quite a few texts about that as well. Someone said... But they thought they looked better than you. Well, somebody said I used to work in a store with the men's section. The jumpers were much better than the women's. So I bought the men's jumpers, but in a smaller size. I'd wear them and I'd bump into a guy wearing the same jumper.

They'd be like, hey! And then notice I was a woman. I'd be like, what do I do? What do I do? Yeah. Lisa, when did an item of clothing cause a friendship argument? So a friend of mine, we were best friends. We look completely different

And one day she just slowly started wearing the exact same things as me Which I didn't really think too much of And then one day I showed her a top that I had bought And she was like, oh that's really cool And she went out and bought the exact same thing A pattern is forming And that's quite a psychopathic pattern's really cool. And she went out and bought the exact same thing. And I was like, okay. A pattern is forming. A pattern is forming. Yeah, and that's quite a psychopathic pattern, isn't it?

A little bit. A little bit. At what point did you say, I'm noticing that you're starting to dress like me? So we actually went to a 21st. And I got ready. I took a photo on my Snapchat. I was like, oh, what do you think about this? She's like, oh, my God, that looks great.

And then she turned up to my house to go to the 21st together and she was wearing the exact same thing. No! She can't do that. She can't do that. She's done your duty. I couldn't get changed because I was like, I'm not rocking up as Tweedledee and Tweedledum with you. You shouldn't get changed. No!

You should. And so did that cause, like, did you saw that out or does she still dress the same or are you not friends? We're not really friends anymore. I'm not a confrontational person, but I did kind of ask her. I was like, oh, how come you're starting to wear the same things as me? And she also dyed her hair the same color as me. So that was nice to meet you.

Oh, okay. She's going to wear your skin one day. She's going to wear your skin one day. She's going to wear your skin one day. I would run away, Lisa. Thanks for you calling some messages in. We were catching up with old school friends and introducing our partners. Now we whipped around in a group chat and said, this is what I'm wearing.

Nobody was wearing the same thing. Got to dinner and all of our partners were all wearing the same rod and gun jersey. Literally the same jersey. That's good stuff. But guys wouldn't care. Guys would be like, this is good. This is good.

We all wear it. We all wear it. Yeah, we can talk about a couple of things here. I bet they were still all wearing RMs as well. RMs. With Js.

Rod and gun shirt. 100%. Country road jumper over the shoulders. Splashed out. They're looking good though. Play ZM's Fletch for the shoulders. Splashed out. Looking good though. I had a bit of a situation involving a pickle at home last night. A big pickle?

A pretty big pickle. A pretty big pickle. Pretty big pickle. Pretty big pickle. This better be good because I actually had something planned for this section. I had nothing to do with it. I actually had something planned. I'm going to tease this for tomorrow.

Boom Kwefa. Tune in tomorrow to find out what I'm talking about. Boom Kwefa. But you don't get to hear it today because Vaughn's got... I didn't do it. Vaughn's going to break so hot. I didn't want to do the break. I've been steamrolled.

I just told the producers a story and Anna was like... I mean, don't... Executively made the decision. What you've done here is you've taken what a woman wanted to do and silenced me. And you've silenced her. Tomorrow, you will not be silenced

and you will explain what Boom Kweefa is about. Yeah. Okay, right. Yeah. Alright, well next on the show is The Big Pickle. A story that contains

no Boom K queefers. Hayley did have a break here planned, but that's been bumped to tomorrow's show. Justice for boom queefers. Justice for boom queefers. Now, is the correct spelling of boom queefers B-O-O-M-Q-U-E-E-F-A? No. No. B-O-O-M-Q-U-E-E-F-A? No. No.

B-O-O-M-Q-U-I-F-A, Boomquefa. Okay, well, you have to wait till tomorrow's show to find out what Hayley was going to talk about there. Yeah, you will. Because you've been steamrolled. This is the second day in a row that Boomquefa got bumped. There was a bump to the Boomquefa. I've been fighting since Monday, Vaughn, for Boomquefa. Just, you know, in the show planning,

we just don't think this is a good break. Get on my team. I'm on your team. Tomorrow, Boom Kwefa. Okay. Well, it's Friday. Well, I hope this goes up to Boom Kwefa. It's more likely to happen tomorrow when we're CBF Friday planning the show.

It's going to go Friday flashback, which is mine, which we already know we're going to do, and then it's going to go Boom Kwefa. 18. So yesterday as we were leaving work, don't promise 18 for Boom Kwefa tomorrow, please. That's from the producing team. It's too late.

Get on board with Boom Kwefa. What about a 750? Or an 840? Why won't you get on board with Boom Kwefa? I just I don't know if Boom Kwefa is a prime time break. I think Boom Kwefa, I can see it written in the lights. Same. On Broadway, Boom Kwefa.

I can see a song. Boom Kwefa, Boom Kwefa. I can see the musical. Hayley Sproul presents. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Tick, tick, boom, quiffa. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, quiffa. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Imagine.

It's writing a C. I mean, you're writing a C slash Gaga classic there. Okay, so there's never going to live up to boom, quiffa. But yesterday when we were leaving work, the lovely lady at the reception said, there's chicken for you in the fridge. And we were like, what? What?

Chicken. So we were sent a PR bag for chicken. And in the box, raw chicken. Raw chicken. I thought someone had dropped off a couple of bachelors handbags. Because we were talking about, you know, the rotisserie chicken. We love a chicken in a bag. Yeah, I love a bachelors handbag.

Love a chicken in a bag. Love ripping into a rotisserie chuck. You know what? Because they're in a handbag now, these bloody Gen Zs are going to grow up not knowing when you used to just be in a tinfoil tray with a bit of plastic over the top and you had to get the bag and put it in the bag and it was hot and the juice was going on your hand.

Oh, yes, the trays. Yeah, and the tinfoil bag would hold the heat and you'd get home and the juice would hit your hand and it'd still be hot. Yeah. Tuck into that nice, delicious, moist chicken. Yeah. Anyway, it wasn't.

It was raw chicken. Both Stock Brothers sent chicken. We buy this chicken. It's free-range chicken. Oh, must be nice. They just live, it wasn't. It was raw chicken. Both Stock Brothers sent chicken. We buy this chicken. It's free range chicken. Oh, must be nice. Just living the absolute life. I've got the stuff that's bloody got all the hormones in it. Yeah, same.

It's a little bit green on a blue tray. Yeah. Full of injected with water. Two sides of a turkey. That all comes out when you're making your stir fry. It's all bubbling in water. You're like, where'd that water come from? I'm boiling it now.

I'm broiling. But you've got your. I'm broiling. I'm broiling this chicken. You've got your fancy chook. So you've got the fancy chook. You've got the fancy chook. I've got to take home the fancy chook. Yeah, I didn't take any because I was out all day and I just didn't think I was going to risk it.

Leaving a chook in your car. So the other half was this jar of pickles. We love pickles at our house. Love it so much. And this pickle-flavoured beer from the Garage Project. Love it so much. And this pickle flavoured beer from the Garage Project. Yum. They've done a collab,

haven't they? A sour, a summer sour. I love a pickle. I'm growing to love a sour beer as well, like a fruity sour beer. I'm going to go to now. It's fine.

I couldn't drink them all night. Oh yeah. Like one or two and you change flavours and you have to get a tasting paddle or whatever. But the other thing in the box was an apron. And I was like, oh, this is a tasting paddle or whatever. But the other thing in the box was an apron.

And I was like, well, this is a nice apron. Yeah. And I was doing some kitchen duties. I was like, I'm going to chuck on this apron. So I put on the apron, tied it up, and that's when I turned around and Sade laughed. I hadn't seen, but in the apron, in the little apron pocket, there's a little pickle poking

out of the top. Out of the top. Poking its head out. I saw this on your wife's Instagram story. It made me laugh. So I, the little, I didn't even know. And then she's laughing. And then she like, I'm like, why? And she points to it and I look down and the little,

now the little pickle, it's at about. It's not little. It's a. Big pickle. Yeah. It's like a doodle-sized pickle, isn't it? Now, it's the position of the pickle and the size of the pickle. It makes it look like it's your doodle.

It makes it look like you've tucked it up in Teenage Boys. Everybody from Teenage Boys. Oh, no. What I'm talking about is where you give it the old rotate. You take it from a rogue 8 o'clock or a 5 o'clock and you spin it right up to a 12 o'clock? I think this is inappropriate. We should have talked about Boom Kwefa.

This is inappropriate, Vaughn. Stay tuned tomorrow to hear about Boom Kwefa. But you tuck it up because you're like, oh, God, not now, and you tuck it up and you hide it there. This looked like that awkward situation that a few of us may have experienced in our teen years of a tuck-up but as you tuck up, it works its way

between the Morrinsville College school polo shirt and the Morrinsville College navy blue pants and the head of your pickles poking out. Now thankfully when that happened to me in fourth form in 1996,

I felt a cool breeze and spotted it before anybody else did. But moments away from getting off the school bus, which vibrated because it was an old Bedford, and we'd hit those rough streets. Those potholes. And you'd be like, oh, no, not now. And your hormones were all out of control. You were wearing a loose slack.

You were in the big city for the first time as a young lad. And it was always the wiggle and tuck before you got off the school bus. And then that time, just before I got up, I felt it. I was like, oh, my God. Imagine if you'd strutted down the school bus, hopped off, walked into school with it out, with it poking at the top. Now, all of that trauma all came hustling back to minute Shade.

And that's what the pickle looked like, poking out of the apron. It did. It looked like. So Shade's laughing, I'm laughing, and then our two daughters are also there, August 8, Indy 10, they're laughing. And we're all laughing. And after a while, I'm like, do you guys know why you're laughing? Because, you know, when you're a kid, sometimes you just laugh

because everybody else is laughing. And you look back on those moments later in life and you're like? Because you know when you're a kid, sometimes you just laugh because everybody else is laughing and you look back on those moments later in life and you're like, why did they let me laugh? They might have just been laughing because it's a funny cartoon pickle. So they were laughing and I said, do you guys know why you're laughing? And they were like, yes.

And I said, are you sure you know why you're laughing? And August was like, we know why we're laughing. And I said, okay, I'm going to ask you at different times why you think we're laughing. Yeah. And I went to August first and I was you at different times why you think we're laughing. Yeah. And I went to August 1st and I was like, tell me why you think you're laughing. And she's like, because it looks like you've got a pickle in your pocket. So innocent.

So innocent and sweet. I was expecting her to be the one. You know, it looks like you've got a little pickle riding in your pocket. And I was like, that's pretty funny, right? And she's like, it would be pretty funny if you had a pickle in your pocket. Because you didn't, that's pretty funny, right? And she's like, it would be pretty funny if you had a pickle in your pocket

because you didn't know because mum pointed it out to you. It's like the pickle was just hiding in your apron. And I was like, okay, cool. And I went to Indy. Who's the more innocent of the two?

So I'm expecting another sort of pickle hijacking answer. I'm like, and why do you think it's funny? And she's like, because the pickle looks like your penis. And I went,

well, we've moved into the next chapter. Next chapter of parenthood. Yep. They get those jokes now. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. We're going to pull back on those jokes now.

Yeah, yeah. Because we're not getting away with them. It's not going over both of their heads anymore. It's. Also, somewhat of a compliment. Not if you saw the pickle. It's quite knobbly. Green, gnarly.

Green, gnarly, knobbly. Spiky. A little kind of spiky. Yeah. Yeah. Size-wise though. I'll take that. I'll take that compliment.

Why not? I'll take that compliment. All right. Well, next on the show, I say tomorrow. It's not Boom Kweefer. It's not Boom Kweefer. It's not Boom Kweefer. That'll be tomorrow on the show. That's a damn shame. If it makes it.

If it makes it. You can't bump Boom Kweefer again. We may have to bump it into next week. We can't bump. Into the third week of October. The Boom Boom Kweefer. Well, I have now for 2023, the holiday hacks, how to get the most out of your annual leave.

Now, this obviously doesn't work for like part-timers or contractors. No. But if you've got like, you know, your standard employment contract with your standard amount of annual leave and, you know, you work your Monday to Friday, this is for you. Okay. And you probably want to get on to requesting you leave now

because, you know, then you get first in there. Oh, yeah, true. Is that how it works at most places? Get your requests in first? Yeah. First in, first served. Because if everyone's leaving, someone's got to stay. Someone's, exactly.

So this year, do you remember we had the sweet spot where Easter is right up against Anzac Day? So good. And you could get the most kind of annual leave days. Was that this year? That was this year. Because you could take off the three days in the middle. Next year, it's not like that.

There's a little bit of a gap. Easter's in March next year, right? Easter next year is, no, it's in April. Oh, it's that April. The 7th to the 16th. You can take four days of annual leave and get 10 days off. So you're basically just getting, you're leaving work on the 7th, and then you just take that next week off.

So you get two bonus ones and two weekends. Yeah. And four days annual leave. Yes. Okay, that's a goodie. So another hack is the 3rd of Feb, you can take one annual leave day and get four days off. That's just basically taking the Friday before Waitangi Day. I would rather take the Tuesday.

Well, you could do that too. Yeah, same. Just take one day and then you get two short weeks out of that. Because Fridays are fun anyway. Yeah, I don't do anything on Fridays. And, Zach, you work every Friday. Oh, I don't really. Hardly. I mean, your body's here. Yeah, I don't do anything on Fridays. Anzac, you work every Friday. Oh, I don't really. Hardly.

Hardly. I mean, your body's here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mentally, I'm miles away. Mentally, I'm just hearing that Beach Boys song over and over. Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I want to take her. To Bahama, to Bahama. Okay.

Come on, pretty mama. That's my Friday. Okay. Next year, Anzac Day, if you take one day, again, it's just taking an extra long weekend. Just take Monday off. April the 24th. Someone's got to work, Fletch. Someone's got to work.

Someone's got to work, yeah. Someone's got to show up and turn the lights on. Let the boss work. If you take one day off. If they love this stupid country they own so much. If you take one day off. They love this stupid country they own so much. If you take one day off, you get four off. June the 2nd,

that'll be the King's birthday, will always be the first Monday in June, just going forward. June the 2nd, if you take one day off, just make it a four day weekend, you'll get four days.

July the 8th to the 16th, if you take four days off, you get nine off. What? What's that for? Matariki. So Matariki will be the 14th of July next year. So I guess you just take the whole following week off

or the whole week before, and that'll give you nine days for four. The 20th of October, that again is a Labor Day weekend. That's just making it a four-day weekend. Take one day and get four days. And then next Christmas, I don't know who's putting leave in this early, but if you take three days off,

the 28th to the 30th of December you get a leave-in off. Wow. So some hacks there. So what's it all up? Do you know what it is all up? How many days you can get off? 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.

And then you get off heaps more than that. Sorry? Where's your maths? 10, 11, 12. So that's 16 days off and then heaps more than that. Did I say 16 leave days? You'll get 14, 18, 22, 31, 35, 45 days off for 16 days. And then plus your weekends.

Because some of those include the weekends in the chunks. Some of those do include the weekends, yes. But that's pretty good. I just did maths on the fly there. What are you doing? Are you bored? Do you not want to be here? I'm taking today off.

That was just in my mind. You are not taking today off. You're here. I was Friday-ing on a Thursday. You're here. No, it's Thursday. I know, but you were talking about hacks and getting an extra day, so I just thought I'd take one.

Okay, let's get in the leave form. No, because I'm physically here. You can come in in December or January when Hayley and I are not here, and you can do a show. Wait a minute. That's fine. I'd like everybody to join me in my mind. We've got Fact of the Day next on the show.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fact of the Day, to do with spice. Spice. Yeah, if you were like me, you grew up in a house where white pepper was a little too much. Oh, I thought you said space, not spice. Space. Because did you see Tom Cruise is going to be the first civilian to spacewalk?

When he goes up to shoot this movie? Yeah. I mean, like, yeah, of course. The dude flies planes and does stunts. Helicopter stunts and climbed the Burj Khalifa. What is there left for him to do? No fair.

You want to do all that stuff? No, no way. Well, then don't. I don't even want to do that. No, I don't agree with, you know, his choice of weird religions, but you can't fault the dude for being insane. Is he still doing that?

Scientology? Oh, yeah, he's in it. Yeah, well, I guess at least if he floats off the International Space Station, the spacecraft will pick him up on its way to the his religion. To his planet. Xanadu or whatever it is. I think that's the name of it, yep.

So today's fact of the day is about spice not space. Okay. And it is that you could indeed die from eating too much spicy food. Get out. Science and researchers determined that a 68-kilogram person, so me. Yeah, science.

Is that the average person from when? The 60s? Jesus, I ate the average person. A 68-kilogram person could eat 1.3 kilograms of dried ghost pepper and it would actually kill them. Who's eating 1.3 kgs of ghost pepper? Well, this got looked into because a guy entered a pepper eating competition. He considered himself, you know, this is a great way

because people are like, I could do it, I could do it, I don't mind some of that sriracha sauce. Yes. And then they enter an actual hot sauce or actual pepper eating competition and are just like. Yeah. No way. Put me down for a sweet chilli sauce competition.

I'll drink that stuff out of a cup. The sweet chilli. The brave boy. The skull and clump. Thank you. Yeah. That's what we could set up in your memory one day. You can't flitch a sweet chilli sauce.

I'm not dying yet. You never know. No one's guaranteed anything. No. That's what we could set up in your memory one day. You can't flitch a sweet chili sauce scone competition. I'm not dying yet. I mean, no one's guaranteed anything, are they? No, no. Enjoy every day like it's your last, because it very well may be. It's just a little aside, motivation for everybody. Yeah, isn't it? Make the most of the day.

Yeah, of course. In 2016, a man got involved in this, and he had a ghost pepper, which is insanely hot. One of the hottest. And to try to cool his mouth afterwards, he drank six glasses of water, which is, as you'll know if you've ever had to burn your mouth, water does nothing.

It seems to like, you know when you chuck water on a grease fire and it just spreads the fire? Yeah. It's a bit like that milk, of course, is the more. Yeah, you meant to eat your milk. So when the six glasses... Can you do oat milk if you're a vegan? I don't know if oat milk has the same cooling qualities

as regular old cow's milk. It's the oily, it's the oiliness of the milk, right? Interesting. Yeah, the creaminess. Would you be better if you could? What about a bit of Gaviscon? Bit of Gavis?

With the firefighters in your mouth. Walking down the throat, walking down the throat, spraying the hose. Yeah. Maybe, but if you could stomach it, would it be better to just suck on a block of butter

if it's oily and it's dairy related? If you're at a loss, right, and you've got a fiery thing and the only thing in your fridge is a stick of butter. You're going on. I'm sucking the butter. Your cholesterol is going through the roof. Yeah, I know, but my stomach's on fire. Yeah, your stomach's on fire.

So he drank six glasses of water, which hit his stomach along with the pepper and immediately caused him to vomit. He vomited up the water. He vomited up the chilli pepper and he kept vomiting so much that he tore a hole in his throat. Yuck. He was rushed to hospital. When he got there

the doctors found out due to like that, he collapsed his left lung. Oh my god. He spent 23 days in hospital and was sent home with a gastric tube. That's for life. He'd burned his throat so he had to eat through a tube or ingest

like muck through a tube for a little while until it had healed. That sucks. Not worth it, is it? No. So he didn't even win. He didn't even win. He didn't even win. So today's fact of the day is it is possible to die from eating too much hot sauce, even though you just might feel like I'm dying, I'm dying.

Eat enough of it and you actually might. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do As, I mean, you guys do it, Vaughan. You know, you always want to palm your kids off to your grandparents. Oh, great. It's great. To your parents. Yeah. Haven't they just been there for the school holidays? They've been there for a week for the school holidays.

Yeah, good. Yeah, my parents love it. The kids love it. We love it. It's universally pleasing. It's a win-win-win. Yeah. Well, a mother in Florida did just that.

Gave the care of her child over to her father for the day. Yeah. She went about the day, which is when she got a call from Hertz Rentals. And she was like, what is this? The granddad had hired a car. I don't know why he had a rental car, but he did. And he had been with the grandkid all day,

returned the rental car back to Hertz, went home. Right. Day done. Yeah. Fun day with the granddaughter. car back to Hertz, went home. Right. Day done. Yeah. Fun day with the granddaughter. Only problem is when he went home, he didn't take the granddaughter with him. He just left her in the back of the car. And quite accidentally.

So he's sort of, I think, a little maybe absent-minded as a Gramps. Okay, I think this is the last time Gramps is looking after little Timmy. Yeah. Yeah. Now, the grandchild was in the car for 45 minutes before they came, you know, because they've got to move it and they'll groom it and all that kind of stuff when they noticed this young child in the back of it

and they were like, hello. That's not supposed to be there. You are in so much trouble. I mean, you can, you know, you leave a chip packet, they're already annoyed at you. Yeah. But they left a human being in there. And then the mum got this call.

Left half a pack of fruit jibs in the centre console once. Yeah, absolutely. That's a treat for the cleaners. That's a treat for the cleaners, yeah. Little something, something. Yeah, exactly. For their services. Anyway, the kid was absolutely fine.

Yeah. Just kind of like, um, what is happening? Imagine getting a call, you're the mum, and they're like, hi, we've just got your kid here. Where's grandad? Where? At Hertz Rentals. Where was she?

She was in the rental. Wow. Okay, I'll come get her. But I want to know if you've ever been left behind as a kid. Because you can see how it happens. Or as a parent, because you've got so many kids, you leave one behind at a servo or something. Yeah.

You know, you're on the roadie, little Timmy's eating an ice cream on the bench. Does this count if it was a school trip and there was heaps of kids and so they counted them and they thought they had them all but they didn't have you or somebody else? When were you left behind as a kid? Did you get left behind in a school camp? Oh no, no, no. It was too loud.

Right. It is suspiciously quiet. Where's Vaughn? It would be easy to do, right? Well, maybe it was Christmas and you slept through your alarm. Yeah. And your whole family's just hustling and busting to get out the door. Yeah.

Where are they going? They're flying off on a tropical holiday. Yeah. How many did you say? How are they affording this? Say you're in a huge family, so that's why they kind of lose count. Right. And then you wake up,

you've slept through your alarm as well, your whole house is gone, you're home alone by yourself at Christmas. And then what about the burglars that are always around at Christmas? Can you imagine if you're home by yourself and there were burglars trying to break in because it's the perfect time,

there's all these gifts under the tree. Well, it would be the perfect time for me to finally try out shaving and then slap on some aftershave. Yeah, and sort of like all those booby traps. Yeah, you know I love booby traps. You would, you would. As long as that creepy guy who lives down the road

who scares me for no apparent reason other than that he's old isn't around, obviously. Yeah, yeah. Don't worry. I'm sure there's a local bird woman you could befriend. You know, and you'll be absolutely fine. That sounds like a different situation where maybe I got on the wrong flight

and diverted to New York City rather than with my family to the tropical. But they've still left you behind, haven't they? Right. Anyway, this is what we want to know. Have you been left behind as a kid or have you left your child behind somewhere? We're talking about when you've been left behind

as a child or if you as a parent have left your child behind. A grandfather was babysitting his granddaughter and just forgot about her and left her in the back of the rental car when he returned it to her. I mean, I guess he was just returning his duties for the day, right? Yeah. Looked after my granddaughter. Done.

Returned the rental car. Tick. Georgia, when were you left behind? Hi. I was in grade two in school and we had ballet lessons after school. Yeah. And I was the only one at ballet and we had ballet lessons after school. Yeah. And I was the only one at ballet lesson because it was just small classes and it was a rural school. And my parents thought the other one was picking me up.

They're not like divorced or anything. They lived in the same house and everything. But they left me at school for about, until about 8 to 9 p.m. Oh, wow. I had to walk like a kilometre down the road to the principal's house to ask him to call my parents to come and get me.

It's so funny, as a kid, how you always know where the principal lives. Yeah. In a small town. Yeah. And this was in Africa as well,

so it wasn't even in New Zealand. Jeepers. In Africa, you could have been eaten by a lion, Georgia. A kid walking down the road alone in Africa. Not a good sign.

It wasn't the first time. I'd leave that kid alone, because they were going to mess you up. You could have been eaten by a lion, Georgia. A kid walking down the road alone in Africa. Not a good sign. I wouldn't have... It wasn't the first time. I'd leave that kid alone, eh? Because I reckon it would mess you up. Like, if you saw a kid walking on the tough streets of Africa by itself, you'd be like, that kid knows some stuff. Yeah. Get away, dude.

That's true. We want to know when you've been left behind as a kid or you've left a kid behind. Yeah. It's happened so much. And I'll tell you what, many child has been left behind at show sponsor McDonald's. Really? I'll tell you what Many child has been left behind at show sponsor McDonald's Really?

I'll tell you what Not a single one of them seems to have any sort of trauma attached to it No Most of them just spent a couple of extra hours playing in the playground Yeah, that sounds like heaven Yeah Hell yeah Dad left me at the pub once when I was seven

I was outside playing and he didn't realise He went home He drove home and he got home And mum said Where are the kids And he said Oh shit They were with me

Weren't they Oh my god Yeah They'd just been playing Outside of the pub Yeah they probably didn't even They probably didn't even know Dad had gone

If they were playing outside No you wouldn't know Until dad came back And he'd be really angry At you for some reason And it's you know He should be angry at himself But he doesn't know

How to express himself Because he was brought up By a father Who came back from World War 2 And never really talked to him Never really hugged him Yeah You know And he should be angry at himself, but he doesn't know how to express himself because he was brought up by a father who came back from World War II and never really talked to him, never really hugged him. Yeah. You know, and then that carried on. And now Dad, you know, he's bottling all that sort of stuff up.

Yeah. He needs to let it out. Vent a little once in a while. That's right. You know, break the cycle and let men have emotions, let men talk a little about their feelings. Yeah. Thank you, Vaughan.

Most welcome. My entire family left my younger brother at McDonald's and rode a rower. Hour later, they stopped and mum said, where's so-and-so? And everyone was like, oh, dear. Went back, just playing in the playground. Mum thought uncle had him. Uncle thought dad had him. Dad thought sister had him.

Nobody had him. But everybody thought someone had him. If you've got more than two, I think you've got a number off when you get in the car. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was two weeks old when my mum left me in a pram outside the shops. Came out of the shop,

walked straight past the pram, went home. It was half an hour later, she realized she didn't have her near newborn baby with her. But newborn mum. Baby brain. Totally.

Like in shock. Totally. My friend was at a train station and with the baby in a pram Got on the train Leaving the pram behind And then looked out the window And saw the pram

And she took it off And was like Oh that pram's by itself And it wasn't until Ten minutes later Apparently she was like That was my pram That's my pram

That's my baby My baby's in that pram Oh my god Imagine the panic Imagine the panic So many So many people Just get left behind

Their parents are busy animals. Busy animals? Busy people. Well, they are animals, I guess. Yeah. We were on a school trip to America. Day two, we went to see the Grand Canyon. Ooh.

We lost a kid. I mean, I guess they found them again. But for a time, they... It's a vast place. Huge place. You don't want to get lost in the Grand Canyon. No. We left our daughter behind at a kids' cricket game.

I thought hubby had her. Hubby thought I had her. We'd both left in two different cars, leaving the child behind. 15 years later, she's starting to claim trauma. I bet she is. Of course she is. Adam, when were you left behind? So, travelling around Europe with my family back in the day,

and we had a family of friends in Switzerland, in Zurich, and we were in Zurich at a subway station, and a train promptly turned up, and Mum and Dad grabbed us, well, what we thought, oh, we grabbed us, but just grabbed me, jumped on the train, and then doors closed, and they realised that my brother was still outside the subway train, and we left without him. So that was brilliant. However, he knew the company that our family friends worked for, And then doors closed and I realised that my brother was still outside the subway train and we left without him. Oh!

So that was brilliant. However, he knew the company that our family friends worked for and started asking random people in Switzerland to help him find this company and then turned up at her workplace and then she called us because she had found them when we couldn't find them. Oh my God. I mean, smart boy. Smart. I mean, heck, your family's just left on a train,

leaving the city. You'd be like, wow. That's right. Hayley, you should actually know these are smart boys. My brother, Benjamin Johnson, who you used to date when you were younger. Ben! Oh, no!

Hi, Adam. How are you? Great, thank you. Oh, my God. Say hi to Ben for me, but also... Will do. But also, Claire, is it a classic Ben move? Yeah, this is typical of your mother.

I've got to be honest, Adam, this is typical of your mother. Adam, thanks for your call. No problem. Hey, guys, apparently being the company's most successful podcast isn't enough. They want us to tell people to tell more of their friends. So people are clearly liking it, but we have to tell them to tell others to like it. I would concentrate more on the shitter podcasts that the company makes. Yeah, same.

You know, the real losers out there. Same. No, no, no, we'll just... Yeah. Maybe we won't say nice. Maybe we should even encourage people to listen to other podcasts that the company makes. Yeah. No, but only after ours.

Yeah, nah, nah, don't do that. And not more than ours. Give us a sexy little review though.
