The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast. Thanks to McCafe, try their refreshing McCafe iced coffee, available now at Macca's. And Hayley, you've got a romantic Valentine's Day planned after the show. So glorious. I'm first going to have my arse handed to me by my PT,

and then I'm going to have my ass lasered, hopefully, at the laser clinic. Oh, wow. Now, this, I remember last... The smell of Valentine's Day, isn't it, burning here? Absolutely. A tactic this time? I'm just going to flip over and spread it.

And then they'll be like, don't just look at it, laser it. Have we got a felt? I could write around the vagina. Don't forget. How do I feel about that? How do you ask though? Because this is your problem last time

as I left it and you didn't say anything. I didn't say anything. And then I just went back with, I just left with a hairy butthole. it from the back champ what about that oh yeah what about if you say go right into the eye of the tiger it's the eye of the storm you know like you go like a saying like that don't be afraid to stretch your legs back there i think something that i've learned uh as of late is that i want to be more unapologetic in my life i always apologize for fish like shit i haven't done yeah so i think i'm just i'm just gonna like

come out and say it yeah okay i might i mean they might listen to the radio and i won't have to say anything because they'll know that i was disappointed that last time it was forgotten yeah well that video on facebook had something like quarter of a million views. So yeah, I wonder if they may, I mean, your face is probably in every laser hair removal clinic around the country being like, don't forget her asshole. Don't forget the asshole.

You've kind of Pippa Wetzel fair goad this. I have. Like everywhere Pippa Wetzel goes because she hosts fair goad, people are on their best behavior. Assholes worldwide are thanking me because they will never again shall they be forgotten. So that's my romantic Valentine's Day. Good luck.

Just a little around the butthole. Thanks Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Four minutes past six. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fleets, Fawn and Hayley. Four minutes past six. Good morning. A little bit chillier this morning. Oh, isn't it nice though? Yeah. Not as humid. Not as humid. Not as humid. Not as humid. Chuck a jacket on. Right. Did anybody lose a tree? Lost a branch. Or anything at the, you lost a branch?

Yeah, R.A.PIP Lost a big branch Off a tree And just heaps of bits And pieces of trees You'll rebuild that And a tramp Yeah We will rebuild Oh yeah

Did you not tie down your tramp? Nah Did you Is it Did it move? Oh yeah it rolled It went all the way Over the other side

The weird part is It survived the really bad winds Yeah Like overnight And into the morning. And it wasn't until like what I considered to be second tier winds. The trampoline was like, well, as soon as that tree is getting all the attention, I might bloody throw myself over there.

Hammock trampoline. I went for a rolly pole. Right. But no, it survives to see another day. It'll trampoline. Yeah, good. It's tied down now But there's no wind

So see what I mean Pointless Good thing you tied it down after There was a post On our local page Where a woman was like I can't see any houses Close to the road

But if this is your trampoline And it was just like a trampoline And she's like It's travelled Wow It must have got its roll on Because it was one of those Perfectly round ones

See bring back The square trampoline with no nothing. They didn't go anywhere. No, Matt. No. They were too scared. Yeah. Those trampolines were scared and scary.

But they never blew over in the wind. I was sort of hoping because we need a new roof. I was sort of hoping that a tree would fall on it. And I'd be like, oh, no. Insurance. I love some hopeful destruction during a storm. But then you would have had an open roof for, like, months. Yeah, but it just would have fast-forwarded the process

of getting a new roof. Because insurance are like, the longer we leave this, the more we're going to have to pay out because of the water damage. Oh, well. Opportunity missed. Coming up on the show, it's your chance to win an epic Vodafone Super Wi-Fi package. We've got an iconic pop culture moment that's buffering.

Obviously without the Vodafone Super Wi-Fi. If you can identify that iconic moment soon on the show, you win. Also coming up, the top six. Yeah, the top six protest songs for now. That's what I call protest music. Volume one. Brilliant. They're putting together a compilation CD. That's still there.

Still there. In Wellington. Still there. I love that James Blunt offered his services over the weekend. Oh, what a hero. It looks like an absolute barn. They've put hay everywhere. There's hay everywhere. Oh, that lawn. People that love lawns are not going to be happy.

I've been to Parliament grounds before and I've been like, this is a good lawn. Like there's a groundskeeper. I don't know who the groundskeeper is for Parliament. Oh, he'll be pissed. He's pissed but he's probably also excited at the possibility of an autumn re-sow. I was going to say, what's the re-sow window? Autumn is a good time to re-sow.

There might be some early autumn, like there's that moisture, but there's still a little bit of heat. You're going to get the growth. So they don't have to wait to spring. Does lawn grow better when it's got human excrement on it? Well... Any excrement. Okay, right.

The human excrement smells a bit more than your average. It must be smelling a bit down there now. Oh, yeah. It's got a real Woodstock 99 vibe to it. All right, we'll deal with that in the top six. So next on the show. Wordle, not just fun. It's out there fighting crime these days.

It's a hard Wordle today. It is. We're all stuck. By the time we come back, we would have all solved it, and I'll tell you about the crime it helped solve. Today's Wordle is so hard. Oh, my God, I've had five attempts. I've got the first and the last.

You've got the last attempt now. You've got the first and the last. What have you got in the middle? How many of the middle letters have you got? Don't tell us. I've got green, black, black, green, green. Oh, you can do that. No, maybe not.

I've put in everything that it could be. Well, obviously not everything. See, this is the problem. I said the New York Times have purchased that, and now they're going to start using, like, high-end, bougie, five-letter words. Oh, like posh words. You think they'll change to posh words?

Yeah, they're not just going to be like the good old words of that guy who invented it and kept it simple. Well, you're stressed. I'm stressed. This doesn't make any sense. Have you failed one yet? No, I haven't failed. Neither.

It's happening today. It's happening today. I'll tell you why. Over the weekend, change to the New York Times who purchased Wordle, change to their website. Some people lost their streaks. Well, I,

does the streak, I don't look at my streak. I don't invest in it too hard. I finish it, I get it and then I close it. But does it, because I do it on this laptop, then my personal laptop,

sometimes my phone. Oh yeah, I think you've got to do it with the same device. Yes, and my streets don't matter anyway. Okay. Anyway, so Wordle, not just fun, not just stressful in the morning, but

it's helped solve a blimmin' crime. This is absolutely amazing. So there's a woman, an eight year old woman in Chicago who was discovered because she didn't update her Wordle. She didn't share her Wordle

score and she was being held hostage by a dangerous man with knives in her house. So she was asleep about 1am and she woke up to the sight of a naked and bloody man in her house. See, I like one or the other. I like a naked man.

I like a naked man. I love waking up to a naked man. I'm not a huge fan of waking up to a bloody man, but as long as he's dressed when he's bloody, I'll hear him out. Yeah, same. He was naked and bloody. Yeah, it's too much for me.

So then he grabbed some knives, two knives from the kitchen, threatened her life, led her to the bathroom in the basement, barricaded her in there and jammed the door shut with a chair for 17 hours. And she couldn't do the daily wordle. She was in her house, didn't have a phone, therefore couldn't contact anyone.

And the reason it was brought to her attention was that her daughter was like, mum hasn't shared her wordle score with me. And she always does. And she does every single day around about the same time. So then they got concerned about why they hadn't heard from her. It was very out of character. Sent the police around. The woman's being held hostage. So he was still there.

Yeah. Was he naked and bloody 17 hours later? Unsure if he clothed himself. I'm imagining if he arrived naked. He doesn't sound altogether there, though, does he? Yeah. He was taken to jail, remanded in custody.

He's facing all these charges now. But did she get to do the wordle before midnight? No. Oh, no. I missed it. I did feel sorry for her. And it was Robin. And it was Robin yesterday.

Oh, I got that one in three. Did you? I didn't. It was a long one because I felt it was too much like a name for a bird. Yeah. I would never have got it if it hadn't been for the previous letters. Right.

Yeah. It confused me too until I was like, is it Robin? Well, stand by because Hayley Sproul may for the very first time in her life not be able to complete Wordle. What? Is it? Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Just a quick Wordle update.

I don't have it. I still don't have it. Got it. Got it. Got it. Came to me in a vision. I just had to stop thinking so hard. Overthinking.

Yes, it's often the case, so you just say, oh, breathe out. Yeah, and I get channeled into a certain area of Wordle, and then I can't get out. That's a problem with a lot of aspects of my overthinking. I'll get myself and then I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Step back, take a breath. Are you going to put in your last word? I can't, I can't. I'm too scared.

Do a lap. Come back to it. No, that's... You just told us you're going home if you don't get this I'm going home, if I don't get this It's Grump City I will finish it by 6.30

I will commit by 6.30 And then if you don't hear from me, I didn't get it There's no time frame You just take your time, take a breath, step back So, Sadi's been done looking at workouts on the gram Who's more likely to take a selfie at the gym, men or women? What do you think? Well, I go to the women's only section of my gym.

What's that like? It's gorgeous up there. Is it? You should come up. Not allowed. You should come up. Not allowed. It's so much fun up there.

But I always know that it's there. It's so nice. We've got the fans and the ceiling's lower. Right. So we've got the fans everywhere. So, yeah, it makes you look a bit more jacked. No, the fans actually hit you. Whereas in the bit that you work out in, it's too vast.

You can't do burpee jumps. Your fingers will get chopped off by the fans. Yeah, you go through the cork ceiling. It's lovely up there. But, well, I see a lot of women taking selfies. And it's not... What kind of selfies? The only selfie I've ever taken at the gym

is when I'm like... Sweaty. It's like a close-up of my face and I'm about to shut out. I'll be like, I'm dying. The woman one where they put a leg like that and then they turn their waist so their waist disappears and the booty pops.

Yeah. That. And then they take it in the mirror. Right. Okay, so that's the sort of Jim self we were talking about Never taken one Would be far too embarrassed To be seen

Yeah same Horrible I have seen Somebody taking one Maybe Very awkward I felt like I was In the background

I might have been in the background As their like As like a comparison Yeah Like the duff Before and after Like I was the duff Yeah

You know You don't look that good until you compare it to something significantly worse. Well, men, 48% compared to 38% women are more likely to take a gym selfie. Yeah. So it's men by a country mile. I will say the lighting at Les Mills is bloody good. They know that though, right? It's got that down lighting that makes every line go ka-dunk, ka-dunk, ka-dunk.

Yeah, because it casts a little shadow. Yeah, see that? It's going like, oh my God, my shoulders are popping. And then you get down and you're like, what are these sausages? Wow, men, eh? It depends, I guess, if I find the men's area at my gym to be very grunty and quite posy.

Yeah. If you go to Instagram and you search by pinpoint location, popular nearby, oh yeah. I'm literally looking at a gym account right now. Jesus. I've shared that one. Oh yeah. But I can't see. Oh yeah. So around where we are now. Jesus. I've shared that one. But I can't see oh yeah, so around

where we are now, there's a fitness one. You could probably work out if me and a woman are posting more. Yeah. Well, all I'm seeing is women but that might be my algorithm. Jesus.

There's a new addition to the Commonwealth Games. Yeah. Marching. No. Not a sport. Still not a sport. It is a sport. I'm confused about...

Yeah, we'll talk about this next. Marching is a national sport. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Just looking up exactly what constitutes a pilot event at the Commonwealth Games. Because I think it's like a trial. There's no medals. I think it's more just it happens there as something that people can watch. Yeah. And interest would be garnered and then next time maybe.

Right. Because esports, esports is going to be a pilot event at the Birmingham and Commonwealth Games this year. That's right, there's Commonwealth Games this year. That's wild, isn't it? Not that there are games this year, but that esports. Yeah. Well, 500 million people watched the, what competition was it last year?

500 million. The Global Esports Games in December had 500 million online viewers. I'm not arguing that it's not impressive and that people can get amazing at these games. I do argue that it's a sport or not. I don't think that it is. Come on, marching. You've got to be on these people's team. You've got to be like,

just because it doesn't fit the... But marching is physical. So... Like, a sport is a physical thing. Like archery. Yeah, but you don't put like a spelling bee at the Commonwealth Games. That's mental.

You know what I mean? To put that in... You said how many viewers? Yeah. 500... How many did you say? 500 million. Yeah, the Super Bowl, 96 million.

So yeah. But it's not about viewership. But you think about how crazy they go for the Super Bowl and how much ads it costs. Oh, yeah. That's so many more. Oh, yeah, they're getting paid a bunch, eh? Well, I remember when the Fortnite,

all those people were winning like bajillions of dollars. Yeah, that 13-year-old kid won six million bucks. And his dad was like, I was wrong. I'll admit, I was wrong. You don't need to go outside and play Little Timmy. No. I just hope they've got a good lumbar support as a man who's had a sore back for going on two weeks. I hope they've got something.

What were you doing when you were gaming at the weekend? Just standing? Yeah. Or kneeling. Do you were gaming at the weekend? Just standing? Yeah. Or kneeling. Do you know I knelt as an adult? I was kneeling a lot at the weekend.

Put a little cushion down? No. You should kneel on the cushion. No, they've got plush carpet. I was doing a kneel and then I put the controller down and went to a stretch

and Sade came in and she said, morning prayers, is it? So were you on two knees or one? Two knees. Like a proper... Like it? So were you on two knees or one? Two knees. Like a proper. Like sitting on them or up on the knees?

I am so, I have done more stretching since I've had a sore back. Like I'm actually more flexible now because I can sit on my, like go on my knees and then sit on my. Sit on the heels. And I've never been able to do that. Well, Olympics and Commonwealth Games, here you come. That's me. Yeah.

I'm shit at gaming, but boy, I can sit on my own knees finally. Do you reckon that your weird farm game will be at the Olympics? That's what I, well, by the way, it's not a weird farm game. It is. It's a great game that producer Jared's now on board. Do you know producer Jared Friday joins the farm simulator and Johnny and I, who had been playing for a couple of hours, absolutely running a tight ship.

We've got a great farm going on. Jared comes in. He's like, I want to buy something from the shop in the game with the money that we've been making on the farm. And we're like, okay. And he's like, I'm buying a Mahindra. Oh, yeah, okay. Mahindra.

What's that? It's that brand of car that nobody likes. But he bought like a little Mahindra quad bike thing for the farm. No purpose having a quad bike on the farm. He can't do anything with it yet. So are you all playing in the same pool? Yeah, we're doing a communal farm. Oh, that would annoy me because that's like a flat cost.

So he left and Johnny and I sold the Mahindra. Oh, right. Did you make any money on it? No, no, we lost. Is producer Jared's farm a weed farm? Well, we were talking about that, eh? I read online

you can do a mod if you're playing on PC. You can do mod. A mod. What does that mean? Where you can go into the programming and change some aspect of it

and you can add in props and someone added in weed. So what games are they saying will be at the Commonwealth Games? That's what I don't know. Because what are... There's so many options. They should do... Well, you just do the most popular, right? It's Fortnite or Counter-Strike. That's what I don't know. Because there's so many options. They should do...

Well, you just do the most popular, right? You do Fortnite or Counter-Strike. Counter-Strike was always a massive game. Dota. There's, like, so many options. What about Mahjong? Hmm? Hearts?

No, Mahjong. Or, like, Minesweeper. Or Candy Crush. Your Candy Crush. Imagine all the art the mums'd have at the Commonwealth Games. Bejeweled Blitz. Yeah. Bejeweled Blitz.

All the mums are on their iPads. Yeah. It'd be brilliant. Yeah. And you can tell mum's getting serious because she's got her glasses like a little bit down her nose. And she's frowning. Oh, what's that?

There we go. Let me do you. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. A number of dating apps include Is Hinge a big one now? Hinge Oh, unsure Maybe that's overseas

You're asking the wrong guy Wrong group Hinge, Bumble, Tinder Did some research looking at How sharing your vaccination status Impacts your chances of getting matches. Right. Those who share their vaccination status,

no, those who share that they have been vaccinated have received 30% more matches these days than those who don't or those who decide to keep it secret. I mean, surely if you look at New Zealand stats, like 95%. Yeah, exactly. You'd say that wouldn't that be like 95% of people on dating apps would be vaccinated? Yeah, well, you would hope so.

There's no research around the matches you get if you declare that you are unvaccinated. But you would hope that if you had a Tinder profile and you were an unvaccinated person, that you did declare it on there. You'd probably only match with a couple of other unvaccinated people and then be like, okay. Yeah. Oh, now I see it.

I'm seeing it now. Now I see it. I've had a slightly different perspective of it to me. You could probably guarantee at the moment if you're in Wellington and you're looking for people within your area. Oh, yuck. Do you think people are on the dating apps at the protest?

Absolutely. Jumping tents. Oh. Yeah. St, yuck. Do you think people are on the dating apps at the protests? Jumping tents. Oh. Stinking of hay. Haven't had a shower in days. No thanks.

But I mean, it makes sense to me. If I was on a dating app and you weren't sure, you've got to think about where could we go? Yeah, that's true.

You wouldn't even be able to go on a date unless it was at your house and that's too dangerous for day one. Don't bring day one to your house. date unless it was... You couldn't even go on a proper date unless it was at your house, and that's too dangerous for date one. Yeah. Don't bring date one to your house. Yeah, unless it's an open area in public.

At the end of date one, if it's going really well... If it's going really, really well. Yeah, you couldn't end up at your house. Maybe that's a good test if you don't know if they are. You take them to a bar or a restaurant. Yeah. So that you need the vaccine pass to get in. I mean, I would just ask rather than get to like, get to your bloody Al Brown or whatever

and you're a bit disappointed. Al Brown. You can't go in. Oh, I love an Al Brown. But yeah, 30% more matches if you clearly state, because it's hard to tell otherwise. And like as this expert here mentioned, it's not like you can share photos of you with masks on as a way of declaring your status.

Because the whole point of it is to be able to look at your face and judge you as to whether or not we would make nice babies together. From the yummy ZM think tank, this is the top six. Oh, hey, day seven. A lot of time flies when you're protesting vaccine mandates. Probably getting a bit sick of washing their undies in the old troughs that they've... Oh, nobody likes camping for more than seven days. They're going to leave soon, right?

It's Glastonbury without the... Without Oasis. Pretty much. She's a muddy situation. The sprinklers were turned on on Friday. Wellington experienced, like a lot of the country, the winds and the weather associated with the end of Tropical Cyclone. Bovik?

Dave? Dovi? Dovi? Yeah, Dovi. Dovi? Dovi. Dovi the house elf? Yeah.

Master gave me a tent! And it blew away into the harbour. But sprinklers got turned on and music got cranked over the speakers. Yeah. The whole thing's a bit unusual to watch from a distance. Quite an interesting live stream if you've got some time. Oh my God. One of the protesters is live streaming.

There's some interesting thoughts and theories around. Some interesting people there too. Someone's wearing a tinfoil hat. Yes. Legit tinfoil hat. The irony. A few people were. The irony. Oh yeah. That got played. Yeah.

And they did it. I saw them doing it, yeah. And James Blunt offered his services didn't he? He tweeted. Yep, he said if that doesn't work, let me know. He can pop down for a You're Beautiful. But I've got the top six songs for now. That's what I call Protest Music Volume 1,

number six is... I don't know. Where is it? Are you going to be playing? Yeah, I might play. I might play a little bit of each of them. By the way, I just want everyone to know, I pay for YouTube premium, so there'll be no ads.

Do you pay for YouTube premium? And they're putting their price up too. They're putting their price up. Just get an ad blocker. You did it. Just get an ad blocker. Are you kidding me? Does an ad blocker work? Yeah, I've never watched YouTube ads. Oh my god, I didn't know that.

Get the Chrome extension. Never watch another ad again. YouTube's increasing their bloody premium price three bucks a month. Get rid of it. Absolutely. Anyway. Oh yes. Rebecca Black Anyway. Oh, yes. Rebecca Black Friday in at number six. Because. I would pack up my tent in a second.

Because Friday is what the song is called. Yeah. Oh, come on, Rebecca. Get to it, mate. Yes, there we go. Because you've got till Friday till number five on the list, because number five on the list of the top six songs for now, that's what I call protest music.

Volume one is... This is really slick. Who let the dogs out? Because on Friday the dogs will be let out. Yeah. It's their next move. I feel like when the police were on the news last night saying,

hey, this is no place for children. It was like a get your kids away before we swoop in. Yeah, we're about to get serious in here. We're about to come in with batons and some water cannons to get the kids out, please.

Some doggies. Oh my God, what a banger. Hideous. It's a classic. But you're right, it's a hideous song. Number four, I'll need to explain this one. I only put this on the list because my children will every now and then remember about this song.

And then it's a song that you can't escape in our house. Yeah. Number four on the list of the top six protest music songs is Peanut Butter Jelly Time. Oh, yeah, this would be annoying. On loop. And really loud, too. That would be...

You'd never get to sleep. I know. Imagine just really loud. Just go over and over and over and over and over again. Could work though. Yeah. Could work. Number three on the list of the top six songs for now. That's what I'll call Protest Music Volume 1. Anything from Nickelback.

Yeah. Photograph. That one from Spider-Man. That might play into their hands, though, because a lot of them look like Nickelback fans. I reckon you're getting, yeah. Oh, do you think so? They'll be getting down.

At least 80% look like Nickelback fans. They get totally down. Well, this is the next one. Oh, my God. Great song. Number two on the list of the top six protest songs. But now that's what I call protest music volume one. All day and all night and everything he sees is just blue.

Like him, inside and outside. For a song that came out way before YouTube was a thing. Yep. It's had 298 million views on YouTube. And that's the official version. It's not even the music video with the little blue dudes dancing around. And number one on the list of the top six songs for the protest, protesters for, that's what I call protest music volume one.

Literally searching this now. You know that the producer, Jared, this is his job. He could have done all of this. Jared is watching this absolute carnage. Oh my god. Yeah, see, I'd pack up my tent in a second if this was on loop. I reckon this is again, absolutely music that those people would love.

Well, they've got all the hay down now, so they've really made the farm setting, haven't they? Yeah. You've created a hoe down. Yeah. Ha! Ha! Ha!

Oh, gosh. So there you go. Some music for your protest that is today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM.

Well, by now we've all heard of the ick. Not the itch. The seven year itch, but the ick. It is the moment that in a relationship you're sort of hanging out with them and it's the moment you go, oh. Oh. Oh. Can't come back from this.

I don't think I'm ever going to want to hang out with you again. Usually we think about it in relationship to, what do you call them? Loving relationships, like sexual relationships. Romantic. Romantic relationships. Thank you. On Valentine's Day, I even forgot the word romance. But a relationship expert has chimed in on this can happen in any kind of relationship,

including platonic relationships with new friends. Okay. We've been talking a bit recently actually about how hard it is to make friends as an adult yeah um and same thing applies like you can make a new friend with someone and then they'll just do something one thing that'll make you go this is why you don't make friends with people yeah you have a small friend group very small yeah friends getting in's very hard. There's almost like a, you know, a trial period.

Yeah. Then they do something and you're like, well, that's that. Yeah, well, this relationship expert says we've all had that moment when we're hanging out with someone new where something switches in our mind and we know that this is the first and last time we'll be seeing them socially.

We just go, huh. People were chiming in on this article giving some examples. One of them was, I felt it when I saw my friend's feet. I glanced down, we were chatting, and then found myself at a loss for words. Oh, that's – Some feet are just too much. They can't help. Yeah, I wasn't thinking anything physical.

Unless it was like real long yellow toenails or something. But if they're just their feet, you can't help. Yeah, I wasn't thinking anything physical. Unless it was like real long yellow toenails or something. But if they're just their feet, you can't be like, well, can't be friends with them. They've got feet that I don't. Sounds more like a you problem than a them problem. This is why I hide my long finger toes. Have you got long finger toes? I've got long fingers.

I can peel a banana with my toes. Yeah. That hasn't given me the ick. That's drawn me in more. Okay, great. Another one. This might be super. Sal, that makes a lot of money online too.

I bet. Yeah, real. A lot of fake pics. I'll be chipping in. This might sound super petty, but I don't like it when people text me to tell me they're outside my house. I got it when we were young

and we didn't want parents answering the door. Well, I always like that. How else are you supposed to know that? That's what you do. You text yourself. Yeah, my friends text me that, but that's because I'm in an apartment building. I have to let them in.

You can't go in. Yeah. This is good. My ick is when I meet people and they don't ask me anything about my life. You know, you're hanging out with someone and you're like, God, you talk a lot.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You want to know about my day? I don't know. I don't know if I've had an ick before. I'd get an ick now if someone was hanging out at Wellington Parliament. Yeah, they're like, oh, catch up? And they're like, oh, I'm not in town. I've just popped down to Wellington for a week of peaceful protest.

It was supposed to be just a weekend, but my holiday's been extended. Yeah. But we wanted to ask you, what was it that made you break up with a friend? What was your ick moment that you went, oh no, I don't want to hang out with you anymore. Could it be something small like a toenail?

Or something really big? I don't know if it's going to be the physical thing. It's going to be something that was said or done. Said or done. Yeah, big or small though. What if they were wearing a slogan t-shirt? Any slogan? Like just do it? Or like the man, the myth, the legend?

I mean, make America great again might very well be the t-shirt or hat that put you off. Or your female body inspector. Yeah. You're like, oh, I thought I knew you. Run me through the professional aspects of inspecting the female body. What are you looking for? Scraping boobies. We're talking about the platonic ick.

The moment that you look at a friend and you think, I don't want to be your friend. This friend is not for me anymore. It's not for me. I think we're not for the lifetime. And then they just end up like most of your friends on Facebook. You never talk to them. Oh, and I've got to do another c lifetime. And then they just end up like most of your friends on Facebook. You never talk to them. Oh, and I've got to do another cull.

I got it down recently. Where am I at? Where am I at? Do you do that status? If you see this, you're the lucky one. That you've survived the cull. Oh, my God. As if I'm that important.

I'm doing a Facebook cull. It's not the last you see of me. See, look at this. 970 friends as if. I've got to get that down. You wouldn't even talk to most of them, right? No, a lot of them are like high school people that you're like, hmm.

Yeah. You're going to go. Yeah, but you went to a private school, they could be good connections now. Probably actually quite high up, I imagine, in their individual industries. But yeah, we asked. Oh, I was thinking for A-class drugs. A little bit of column A, column B. We asked you why did you break up with one of your friends?

What was the ick moment that you felt when you realised, I don't want to be your mate? Some messages in. My friend got really jealous when I went out with a mutual friend one-on-one. She lost it at me because she wasn't invited. I decided that it was just too hard. Are they adults? That's very high school behaviour.

Very high maintenance. My friend was posting anti-vax content and misinformation on social media about COVID. That gave me the ick. I've done a couple of deletes because of that. I'm pretty pleased to say no friends of mine have done that.

Yeah. I did one Trump delete. Pro Trump. Yeah, back when he was up for his presidency. Someone was like, what did they say? This guy's got the chops. It was a girl I went to high school with and we were very close when we were much younger

and she was American. I mean, you're allowed your political stance, but you very close when we were much younger. And she was American. I mean, you're allowed your political stance, but you're not allowed to vote for Trump. And be my friend. You're entitled to your own opinion other than if it's pro-Trump. Yeah. Was going out to a nice restaurant with a group of friends and one of them turned up in slides. I was like, this is not a toe-exposed restaurant. Maybe it was the slides.

Maybe if it had been a flash sandal, they could have seen past it. If it had been a Birkenstock, probably acceptable. Yes. But not a slide. Aaron has, you know, like normal jandals. Yeah. And then he calls them his formal jandals. And they've got a thicker...

And a thicker strap. Yes. Are they leather? But there's still a jandal. No, not leather, like a fabric, like a woven kind of a fabric. But it's still a jandal. It's still a jandal. But it's formal jandals because of the thick strap. Have you seen my formal jandals?

Thick strap. Thicker strap. Not a Haviana. I can't go back to a jandal after a slide. No, no, no. Just better. He needs a pair of Birks. No.

Moving on. No, he doesn't. I like the idea of these formal jandals, though. Somebody else messaged in, my friend, every time they got drunk, she would yell at me and then be really nice in the morning but not say sorry

or address the fact that she'd been a real bitch the night before. Get rid of them. That's not good. Get rid of them. Anonymous, why did you break up with a friend? Hi.

Hi. My best friend, she was like my go-to best friend and then all of a sudden we met up one day and she just went on a major rant about QAnon. Oh no.

Which is like an American conspiracy group. Yeah. QAnon. It just went on and on and on about how the government is part of the Illuminati group and how they're going to eat children's blood. Yeah.

Did she mention that Tom Hanks had killed his own children and eaten them? Yeah, yeah. It just got worse and worse and worse the longer I stayed and I kind of just felt like, oh, I can't do this anymore. Now, how did she, do you know how she fell into it?

How did she get into that? Oh, Facebook. Yeah. It's so dangerous. It's so sad, that? Oh, Facebook. So dangerous. It's so sad. But that's the thing, they don't show you on the news when Jacinda's in her office she's got a baby on a drip and it's just going straight into her arm. No, she's got the mini fridge

full of babies under her desk. And didn't Clark Gaiford just get arrested for some sex ring stuff at the moment? Of course he did. He's probably part of the group as well. And they're under a pizza place, right? Is that the same? Yeah, that was Pizza Guy. He probably did. He's probably tired of the grip as well. And that's why he's elevated now. Yeah, and they're under a pizza place, right? Is that the same?

Yeah, that was pizza. It's wild, isn't it? And so you were just like, this friend of forever, you're like, you're gone. Yeah, it was so easy. Wow. I was like, oh, I love you, but I've got to go. Did you see them like, because it is like quite sad, did you see them in the slow decline or last time you saw them,

nothing was on their radar and then next time you see them, it's full blown? Oh, yeah. So I hadn't seen her for a while and we were going to catch up and I thought, oh, this is great. And then saw her and boom. Yeah. Just immediate.

Well, at least she wasn't trying to sell you something. I was going to say, better than turning up and getting a multi-level marketing scam sold. Yeah. Anonymous, thank you. Annie, why did you break up with a friend? Well, we'd met some people at an event and we met them socially a few times after this

and they lived in a different town to us and we invited them to stay at our house and within 10 minutes of being in our house, they asked us a different town to us and we invited them to stay at our house and within 10 minutes of being in our house they asked us would we like to swing? Swing what? Like go to the park? No, I can't do that. Oh, the sort of swinging

you can't do at the park. You don't want children seeing it. So you guys are like, oh this isn't us. We were like, yeah, nah. Can I ask you Annie, was there a moment where you went... I literally had clocked that they'd been in our house for like a few minutes and I said to my husband, he's pre-for-lunch, one goes...

And you had invited them over to stay. I think there was some kind of communication breakdown. I don't know how we didn't click before we invited them to our house. They obviously thought, game on. Yeah.

Absolutely. You were putting vibes out there. You've got to be careful with your vibes. Vibe check, Annie. Annie, thanks for your calls and messages. Annie's got big,

big sexual... Big swinging energy. Big sex vibes coming off Annie. My friend came over to my house for the first time, left skid marks in the toilet.

Oh, no. That was a big act. You're allowed to do a poop in someone else's house, but you've got to clean the bottle. I wouldn't poop in someone's house unless I knew them very well. Oh, really? I don't know. I couldn't just rock up to a new acquaintance's house

and poop in their toilet. I'll poop wherever. I could, yeah, quite easily. I take my time, you see. But you do a flush straight away to get rid of the... Sound. The poo and then... Pre-flush.

And then another one. Yeah, another one. Double flush. Pre-flush. And you just go real quick. Lubricates the bowl, lay a toilet bed, a toilet paper bed. I'm saying you do it and then flush and then quickly clean up. No, I'm telling you how to avoid skid marks in the first place.

Pre-flush, toilet paper bed, more papers, a poopy sandwich, and flush and it'll disappear. I'd be very surprised if you get skids. And you've used all their toilet paper. No, it's just a little bed of toilet paper. I'm talking maybe six squares. Six squares is a bed. I'm breaking up with you if you use a whole roll of toilet paper.

Three deep, two wide, lay that across. It'll catch it. It's like a bed. I'm breaking up with you if you use a whole roll of toilet paper. 3D, too wide, lay that across. It'll catch it. Yeah. It's like a net. Yeah, trust me on this. And a little pre-flush. That is absolutely crucial to it. Wets the bowl, reduces skid.

I'm just here dishing out some tips, some life hacks over here. Yeah. There was a few more, but I'm really just thinking about not skidding in the toilet now. Okay, that's another swingers one. Quite a few people getting... Not really picking up the vibes that people want to have sex with them.

I feel like you've got to have some communication there if you're going to invite another couple around to stay. I think you can invite another couple around to stay, but that couple needs to sort of say, hey, by the way, we're into this. If you are, we're your best knickers.

But then can you say, oh, we're not into it, but we still want to be friends. Yeah, absolutely. You can still be friends. You got our cup of tea, but hide a mind. And then I would just be

shawshanking you the whole time. But just get a hotel instead, maybe. No one says no to us. Thank you. Well, today's Silly Little Poll. Do you have a bucket list? This is a list of things to do before you die. I guess it's called a bucket because you write them all on bits of paper and chuck them in a bucket and then you pull them out.

Do you know? Oh, oh. Is that what it's called, a bucket list? That's what I thought. Because you kick the bucket. Yeah, kick the bucket. Yeah. Ah.

Which is put it in a bucket. So if you don't achieve Everything in your bucket There will just be a mess When you kick it Of little bits of paper With like Also why is dying Called kicking the bucket

Because you kick the bucket And when you're hanged There's a bucket underneath you And they kick it Oh yeah right They kick it from underneath you And you're dead It's pretty dark

You would have your bucket kicked You wouldn't kick the bucket Or you kick it From down to yourself Let's not get into the The ins and outs of No. It's pretty dark. You would have your bucket kicked. You wouldn't kick the bucket. Or you kick it from down to yourself. Let's not get into the ins and outs of the name. It's one of those sayings that you say all the time, isn't it? So we wanted to know from you in our silly little poll today, do you have a bucket list?

Were you surprised by these results? I'm absolutely surprised by this. Only 18% that responded have a bucket list. 82% of you said nah. Everybody think about things they want to do before they die, but I don't think many people will.

Like, I guess you've got like dream holiday destinations, right? But would that not make it to your list? I don't know. I mean, there was an article that was said that the average, like on average, people want to achieve their bucket list by the age of 47. 47, that's too early.

How quickly are you going to die? What are you going to do once you've retired? Well, yeah. You've got it all ticked off. Yeah. Do you think most people look at bucket lists as being something you think of in your 60s or something? Yeah.

When you're like, oh, I've got a decade or two left. Yeah, give you a sense of purpose, keep you driven. Yeah, we remember that film with Martin Freeman and Jack Nicholson. No, not Martin Freeman. Martin Freeman's The Hobbit. Oh, Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman.

Oh, I'm sorry, Morgan Freeman. Martin Freeman. He would have been like a child. He would have been like 20 at the time that movie came out in his 20s. Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. Bloody, a lovely film. Yeah. I don't know what's on my bucket list that I haven't done.

I've lived a great life, you know. Like, every day is a bucket list. I don't have one. I'd like to jump out of a plane. That's a pretty obvious one. Have you not jumped out of a plane? No, not yet. Oh.

Jumped off bridges and the likes, but not out of a plane. Well, of the 18% of people that said, yeah, I've got a bucket list, we asked what's on the bucket list. Okay. Hannah says to visit all the dams. Like in the world? As in like the ones with giant walls, arch dams, et cetera. I have a weird obsession over the past few months over dams

and it's gotten to the point where I've started a PowerPoint presentation on dams. Now, Hannah, you're being laughed at by Fletch and Hayley looks confused. I'd sit through your PowerPoint because I find dams fascinating. Mind-blowing. I do too, but where does she want to do dams of New Zealand? She'll want to do the Hoover. I've been to the

Hoover dam. And what's the one in China that's so big they reckon it even affected the Earth's rotation? Yes. Really? Because it holds back so much water and when the Earth's rotation. Yes. Really? Because it holds back so much water and when the water's trying to catch up

with the moon it's slow to minutely Yeah. What about that dam that guy drops that big Swiss ball off? That was fun.

And it swims out. What's that amazing one in the South Island? Clive. Small town in Clive. Clive. Clyde. Clyde. Clyde's in the South Island. Clyde. Small town in Clive. Clive. Clyde. Clyde.

Clyde's in the Hawks. Cromwell got flooded. Cromwell got flooded by the wire. Can I think of the name of that dam? It's called Clyde Dam. Is it?

Yeah. The Clyde Dam. The Clyde Dam. There's a few down in the South. There's a few at the hydroelectric stations. It just blows my mind. How do we...

You need to go see... She should send you the PowerPoint presentation. You'd love that. Please do. You're going Maybe you need to go see, she should send you the PowerPoint presentation. You'd love that. Please do. You're going to have to install PowerPoint though, aren't you? No, I've got PowerPoint

as part of the online Google Docs system. Oh, fantastic. Okay, that's good. Cross is averted there. Yeah, now we know. It's a cloud-based, it's a cloud-based function now.

You don't need to know there's any more. Is this a segment on dams? I wish it was now. I just got so into dams and I was like, what are you talking about? Maybe we should do dam of the day. Damn. Oh, Samantha would be on board for that. At least we'd know she'd be listening.

Well, only one person would. The Tuesday dam of the day. Massive dam in China. I just want that slowed the earth's rotation. That's the Three Gorges Dam. 13 trillion kilograms of water from the Yangt Sea River built up behind of it. 175 metres above sea level.

It altered the Earth's movement of inertia ever so slightly. Goodness me. I don't think we should go messing with the inertia. I'm a huge fan of leaving the Earth spinning the way it is. So sad. Samantha's on Samantha's bucket list to swim with humpback whales now are you allowed

to swim with them or are they I think you have to just be in a bay and then have the fright of your life when they just pop up yeah

no thank you yeah it's a no from me it's a big no no no no you can swim with what are those whales and they're not whales whale sharks

yeah they're amazing swim with those yeah Malaysia and like... There's only a few places in the world that, yeah, the bays have to be shallow enough for them. Yeah. Ali says, I really want to drive a street sweeper.

Oh! Even just one of those ones that do small footpaths. The satisfaction I just get seeing how clean the street is as it goes past. Imagine. Does she want the one with the whole front brush or does she just want the little side gutter? Round one that goes round. Yeah, I like the round one.

Those are cool. With the two round brushes that chuck it in the middle and then it's got like a vac. Why have they got to be going at 4am though? It's sort of a strange. Because otherwise they go so slow they cause, and they've got to get into the gutters when there's not, you know, a ton of people parking on the side of the road. Like a ton of people sitting in the gutters, hanging out in the gutters. Yeah.

You don't want to accidentally suck somebody up while driving your... Although maybe Ellie does. Hannah says, do all the great walks in New Zealand. Oh, yep. That's a good bucket list. That's a list. Also, Orlando, Harry Potter World, and travel to the Amalfi Coast. Oh, beautiful.

Amalfi Coast. I don't know about Harry Potter World. Janet says, tornado chasing in Tornado Alley in America. No bloody way. Nah, she's got a good point. That'd be fun. Have you seen Twister with Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton? Yeah.

No. What a film. Okay. What a film. Visit 200 countries before I die says... Oh, that's a good one. How many countries are there? Many, but that one's on ice for a bit, isn't it?

Slightly, yeah. There's 195 countries. She's going to need five more countries to be invented. Well, no, that could happen. Civil wars? Yep. Volcanic eruptions making new countries. Splitting.

But then most of those volcanic eruptions... There's more than 195 countries. It says 195 countries in the world today. This total comprises of 193 countries that are member states of the United Nations and two countries that are non-member observer states. Why are they non-member states? They didn't want to pay for the membership. They didn't want to chip in for the potluck.

Classic. Well, the average New Zealander, it's $216 will be spent for Valentine's Day on their lover. No, it won't. No, it absolutely will not. Manage your expectations. Now that we've said that, there will be a few people who will be texting their partners being like, FYI, I heard on the radio. $216. Their sort of expected cost is $216.

Does that include all the inflation we've had? Absolutely. That's how much a bouquet of roses probably costs. Well, it's more. Yeah, sometimes more. Oh, flowers die. Love dies. We die.

That's it. We're all going to die. And that's today's inspiration. There you go. Is that it? Is that like don't bother getting a Valentine's Day gift? No, I've got some last minute. Aquarius, everyone dies.

Pisces, you're going to die too. What about Libra? Hit me with Libra. Libra, I'm afraid death is around the corner. Sagittarius, you're no longer with us. Well, if you haven't got a gift for your Valentine, here's some last-minute Valentine's ideas that you can get right now without any massive preparation.

Okay. Send them their favourite drink. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. Especially if we're spending $260. What do you mean, like a Fanta? Like a bottle of Fanta from the vending machine. A Fanta's your thing, but maybe a bottle of whiskey.

Go on, I'll get you out of here. A fancy gin. Yeah. A bottle of Boo Blaze. Well, I'll get you out of here. A fancy gin. Yeah. A bottle of Boo Blaze. Well, yeah, you just pop to the bottle and you've got it. Absolutely.

Number nine, I'm going to choose 10. Okay. That was 10. Number nine, set them up with a monthly box subscription. Do you know,

I thought about this actually. You can get those craft beer subscriptions and they send you like a selection of craft beers. That's quite a nice one. Is there a good whiskey subscription service? I'm sick of having to go to the shop for mine so often.

If they could send me four or five bottles a month, I'm pretty sure I can take care of the rest. I don't care what it costs. Four or five bottles of whiskey. I mean, how, what, a nice whiskey? Look, I'm not fussy. Maybe there's a My Food whiskey. Oh, no, My Whiskey Bag.

My Whiskey Bag. Just clink, clink,, My Whiskey Bag. My Whiskey Bag. Just clink, clink, clink, clink. My Whiskey Box. Yeah, yeah. And then it's just like put half a cup of whiskey on the boil. No, not the boil. Put a slug of whiskey in your mouth. Yeah.

Recipe done. Yeah. That's not a bad idea, Subscription Box. Number eight, take an online cooking class. Give them an online cooking class. That is a gift that could go one of two ways. They could be into it or they could be like, what are you trying to say? Yeah, Aaron bought me cooking classes for my birthday last year.

Did he get a smack in the face for his troubles? No, I haven't taken them yet. I mean, I'm really into it. I went to a dumpling, like a how to make dumpling. We made dumplings. Hot, hot skill. It was a good skill. Good skill to have. Yeah, because if you were like, if you were going on a date with someone and you're like, come over I'll make you dumplings We made dumplings. Hot, hot skill. It was a good skill. Good skill to have. Because if you were like, if you were going on a date with someone and you're like,

come over, I'll make you dumplings, I would be like, well, these pants are going to be, let's just do this pantless thing and save some time for later on because,

you know, making dumplings, that's a panty dropper. Oh yeah, dumplings make the panties drop. Number seven. And the booty pop. Yeah.

Number seven, fill their bookshelf. Give them a little, give them a book. No thanks. Number six. Too much reading. Absolutely. Number seven, fill their bookshelf. Give them a little, give them a book. No, thanks. Number six. Too much reading. Absolutely.

Number six, book an outdoor adventure. Like a ropes course? Would you love to go on a ropes course? Oh, my God. If Aaron bought me a bloody one of those sort of high wire ropes things, no, not for me. That'd be over. What about one of those scenic zip line tours? I love those. Oh, yeah. That'd be over. What about one of those scenic zipline tours?

I love those. Oh, yeah. That'd be great. You get the view. You get a little bit of, generally, there's a bit of chat from the person, a bit of knowledge, and then you get to go down a flying fox.

Yeah, but it's hard, though, because if they buy you that, then that's all they've bought you, and you've got to get accommodation, a car, you know, if it's, like, out of town. Day trip. You also want to check, because if they're not a sea kayaker,

you're asking for arguments. Absolutely. In the middle of an ocean. They'll capsize and so will your relationship. Number five, I like this idea. Stock their pantry with their favourite snacks. Imagine coming home and you're like, Let me make a hamper with all your favourite snacks.

And you open it and it's just full of like. Yeah. But it's a Monday. Everyone's being healthy on a Monday. Yeah, I know. Mine would be like... Yeah. But it's a Monday. Everyone's being healthy on a Monday. Yeah, I know. Mine would be like banana chips. Dumb. Those are dumb.

What a dumb favourite snack because you're under the impression that banana chips are healthy. No, they're not. You might as well be eating potato chips, the superior chip. Do you know what I made yesterday? Side note, chip sammy. Yes. Oh, yes. Margarine. Do you know what I made yesterday? Side note.

Chip Sammy. Yes. Oh, yes. Marjorie. What with? Butter. Uh-huh. What kind of bread? Grain.

Grainy. I know, I know, I know, I know, but I don't hate myself. Butter. Vegemite. Yes. Ready salted, thick cut chip. Okay. Slam.

Yep, not bad. Not bad. I'm having the same today if there's any chips left. Number four on the list. Chuck a bit of lettuce on there. Get out. Get out. No, it adds a bit of crunch. It adds a bit of something. No, it doesn't add sog. The chip, what do you mean adds crunch? It's a chip sandwich. How far ahead of time are you making this sandwich?

Make the sandwich, eat the sandwich. There's no sog. You know what I mean, like a crisp chip. Yeah. Yeah. Why are you trying to add crunch to a chip sandwich? Add a little bit of lettuce. I'm just saying if you chuck it. That's already the crunchiest sandwich you could ever imagine. It's got chips in it. You don't need lettuce in there. Thank you.

Get out. Number four, tickets to their favourite thing. All of our things are cancelled, so that doesn't work. Stupid indigent. Number three, get them an Uber Eats to just turn up at their door. Oh, yeah. I'd love that. Oh, that's if you're not with them, right?

Yeah. Number two, movie tickets. Oh, yeah. It's a classic. Yep, that's if you're not with them, right? Yeah. Number two, movie tickets. Oh, yeah. It's a classic. Yeah. Now, this is the one I like, number one, an Airbnb gift card. So you can get a little getaway. Okay.

That's a good idea. I didn't know they had gift cards. Why not just book a getaway? Yeah, but I want to choose the Acon. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Because if they did that, they'd be like, this is gross. This is gross.

You'd be in someone's sleep out and the family would be watching you. Yeah. Yeah. Was this list brought to us by Airbnb? It just seems they've put themselves at the number one. No, it wasn't brought by Airbnb. This is a survey conducted by Airbnb. It really does sound like. On what people want for Valentine's Day.

And number one, surprise, surprise, Airbnb. Well, you could just give them some cash and say it's like a weekend getaway. I can't believe on the list you haven't mentioned a cute little voucher book. I like for it. Have a little Warnie hug. Yeah. This voucher entitles you to one kiss and cuddle sesh. This voucher entitles you to a nice back tickle.

This voucher entitles you to a massage, a shoulder rub, that must not last any longer than 10 minutes because I get sore hands. And you get bored, don't you? Yeah, I get a little bit bored. And then I want it to be my turn, but I don't have a voucher. No. So then's the breaks. Make a voucher book.

You could do little boobie vouchers. What, like two? One grab. One gawk. One gawk, add some boobs. One 10-second gawk. In a non-bedroom environment. That's a hot ticket.

That's a hot ticket because you could be in the lounge. Well, you have to redeem it anywhere. I want to redeem this. Yeah, but you won't be allowed back at a Westfields mall if he cashes that there. But he's on the voucher. He's on the voucher. redeem it anywhere. I want to redeem this. Yeah, but you won't be allowed back at a Westfields mall if he cashes that there. But unless... He's on the voucher. He's on the voucher.

It's in the changing rooms. Oh, yeah. And you're like, I'd like to redeem this voucher while you're in the changing room. And then you stand at the door and they're

like, what do you think of this? And then boom. What do you think of these? Yeah. Clay, Zed M's, Fletch, Vaughn and

Hayley. Had a 10th birthday party at our house on Saturday with... You have a 10-year party at our house on Saturday with 10. You have a 10-year-old? I know, crazy. That's wild. Crazy.

10 10-year-olds. And you've got another couple of birthdays this week in the house. Yes, February's a big birthday month for the Smiths. Sade tomorrow, me on Sunday. Sunday birthday. Sunday birthday. Sunday birthday. And so 10 10-year-olds in the house.

Yep. It got a bit much. I won't lie to you. It got a bit much for me. And you'll know I've been talking a lot about my back's been very sore. It looks better today though. It is better today. So much better than Friday.

Tell you why. It's macupuncture. Yeah. Oh, wow. Chinese medicine. Yeah. My energy channels were all up the wazoo as it turns out. That's right.

Okay, they had the needle and then they'd go back and they're like, we can't go down there. I'm a big fan. I've had it heaps. I love it. Yeah, it's so good. I just like the thought that someone's jamming needles into you willy-nilly. No, but they know where they're doing it.

Of course they do. Yeah. Dr. Wins had 42 years experience. Oh, okay, wow. He's a PhD. Right. I'm not complaining because you're not complaining today. No, I'm not complaining.

I'm a new man and I'm going for another lot today. And then I'm getting my booster this afternoon. Big needle day for me. And you know what I might do later on? Heroin. Oh, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. Between the toes because I'm high class and I don't want people seeing my track bars.

No, no, no, no. Keep the arms nice and clear. Keep the arms. I don't want to ruin my modelling by ruining these beautiful forearms. Stuff the toes. Look at these forearms. A couple of little freckles, some light hair. That's a beautiful forearm.

Can't be messing that up with heroin tracks. I'm not doing heroin, by the way. Obviously. Only because I don't have any. And if you do... Oh, $800. Born, it is 8am So it's 10, 10 year olds at a 10 birthday party

And I had a sore back and I said to Sade I just might just go lie down for a minute I really, really feel the back And the back was sore but perhaps I exaggerated So I went and had a sleep And when I woke up the party had finished Oh my god, if I was Sade I would have been so annoyed I felt terrible when I came out and there was like two kids left

and I was like, what happened? Sade's like, they all went home. I was like, I didn't hear anybody going home. And she's like, Vaughan, that's because you put your eye mask on and your earplugs in and you've had a two and a half hour nap. Two and a half. I know. I missed like the whole thing.

Oh, that's brilliant. That's a dream scenario. I know. Dream outcome for you. I know. Dream outcome for you. I know. Do you owe Sade now though? I feel she's been so tolerant of the sore back nonsense.

Yeah. She's a very tolerant woman. You may not have picked that up but being married to me for Patience of a saint. 11, nearly 12 years. Yeah. She does.

She's got the patience of an absolute saint. So yeah, I slept through a 10 year old's birthday party. Came out. Smashed a couple of leftover donuts. What a new man. Feeling good.

But definitely in the red when it comes to the husband-wife. You're going to have to get out that hug checkbook. Going to have to bust out a few special Vaughan Smith birthday vouchers tomorrow. I'll tell you what. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. ZM's Add to Cart. Well, Add to Cart today, Vaughan. It's everything is you. Yeah.

Kick it off with the best. Dude. I'm not very good at self-promotion. You believe in yourself. All right. The first item in Vaughn's cart today, add to cart. This is an electric muscle massage gun. Damn, I love my massage gun.

Same. I love mine as well. They're the best. What do you use? I always go for the ball. Hard ball or soft ball? Soft ball. I always go for the- Hard ball or soft ball? Soft ball.

I always go for the one that's like a pointy finger. I knew you'd be a pointy finger guy. It gets right into the knot. Is it the two prong? I like the two prong. I'm a big fan of the two prong. Yeah. But you're a single prong.

I just go single prong. You're single prong. They're so great. All right. I also love that fat nub. Yeah, fat nub. The flat fat nub. Yeah.

Get that guy in there. All right. Well, that's the first item today, fat nub. Get that guy in there. All right, well, that's the first item today, a massage gun. So write that down. The next item coming up with Georgia at 11, and then we'll give you the other two items at 2 o'clock and 4. If you remember all the items or drop them down and you're the first caller through at 5 with Bree and Clint, you win everything in the cart today, which Vaughn has curated.

Next on the show, a bit of a cute moment here. Oh, I'd say it's a super cute moment for Car Ryan, which is a term that's just been coined. Car Ryan. Here at work. Yeah. And their first joint purchase. Oh.

Very cute. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Cute moment. Cute moment alert. I think this might be the first time we've talked about Carwen at a social media desk. Carwen, who curates the art form that is social media.

She's all over the talk. Yeah. She really breaks it down for us, like how it works. I didn't even know we had a talk. My daughter told me we had a talk. She's like, I saw your thing on the talk. I was like, what? Yeah, she tells you what some words mean.

I always ask her what words and stuff mean. And when I hear a young person say something, I'm like, yeah, totally, dude. And then I'm like, Darwin, what is that? And this might be the first time that we've put a name to your boyfriend. I don't even know if we've really mentioned too much. I don't think we have. Maybe in passing, but Ryan is his name.

Hell of a chap. Never met him. Have I met him? No. Never met him. For real. Because you could have easily met him. Oh, God.

So you mentioned before the show today you've made your first joint purchase as a couple. Oh, big moment. This is cute. this is a huge moment this shows that you're ready to be bonded with with material goods and finances something to split in the divorce you don't live together no you don't live together oh that's another thing to take into account with this joint purchase because surely it can only be at one person's place at a time because at the weekend your first joint purchase as car Ryan

was? A Nintendo Switch. Oh, big purchase. Yeah, big electronics item there. Yeah, so you went 50-50 price wise? Yes, yeah. Okay. Did you get any free games with it? No. You're going to have to buy those. Gosh, they're expensive. Did you get any games? Did you

pick a game? We have Mario Kart Oh cool That's good fun So that's something you can both play at the same time That's not a single player When you were buying this In your head were you like If this all goes badly and we break up

Who gets it? Or would you just imagine selling it And going halves in the proceeds? I don't know. You need to make another joint purchase of equal value so that you, if it doesn't, I really hope it doesn't because Carl Ryan's a great couple. Do you know what you need to get is a will.

You need to pop along to a public trust and get that will sorted. And they just sorts it right out. So straight out the gate, who took it home? He did. Oh, I didn't know about that. Are you getting it back today? Well, potentially, yeah.

What's this potential? Stand up for yourself. No, it's not because, it's because I specifically want it for Animal Crossing but have yet to buy Animal Crossing. So by myself, there's nothing really for me to play just yet. So he may as well have it. He'll be making it all greasy and grubby and

he'll be inverting the Y axis on the joystick. And then you'll get it and it'll be a less superior item. I don't think that's fair. You didn't think this through. I'm worried for you. You should buy another Nintendo Switch.

Okay, I'm not made of money. How long have you been together for? A year this week, actually. Oh, okay. Congrats. But not yet legally de facto. No. Well, they don't even live in together.

Yeah. Hey, I'm not too worried about needing to split it. You're confident in the security of your relationship That's nice Let's go around the room Does everybody remember their first joint purchases with their partner Executive Intern Anya

Do you remember what you and the sluice ghost first bought together Come back to me It was six years ago We'll do it around the room No, come back to me. Okay. That's riveting, isn't it? It was six years ago. We'll do it around the room, but we'll come back to you. Jared, you and the mini have been together for what, like one and a half? A year and a bit.

Yeah, okay. I feel like it was a microwave or a washing machine or something. Oh, yeah. Next. Boring. Boring. Next. Exciting purchases.

So far, we've had a pass and a microwave. I feel like Mous was like a tank of gas. Boring. Well, do you remember yours? I believe it was our cat, but it's dead now, so I don't want to talk about it. Dead end. Dead end.

Didn't you pay for the cat, though? I paid for the cat. Yeah, that's true. I paid for the cat i paid for the cat yeah that's true i paid for the cab and i lived at chardae's house her flat and then i moved into the flat not too long after yeah right so technically yeah but she paid for the food and the other thing it's more like a gift yeah maybe that wasn't a joint purchase yeah okay well we thought when we bought our first car together oh yeah horrible why just because she was a girl racer from ham I remember when we bought our first car together. Oh, yeah. Horrible. Why? Like, just.

Because she was a girl racer from Hamilton, wasn't she? Well, when we first got together, she had a GSR Lancer. Oh, my Lord. Like, one step down from an Evo. Yeah. And that thing was a rocket. And I drove my mum's Mazda Famiglia. Oh.

I remember. I remember both cars parked in the driveway, and I thought, this is odd. Yeah. This is not going to last. Actually, was it a Famiglia or a 323? Oh, I remember. I remember both cars parked in the driveway and I thought, this is odd. Yeah. This is not going to last. Actually, was it a familiar or a 323? It might have been a downgraded, but then that got stolen. Those were pieces of cake to steal as it turns out.

But when we first put our sensible car together, it was like so much stress in the big joint purchase. Executive Internania has raised her hand. Apparently she has now remembered her first joint purchase. Yes, it was a small fry pan so that you can make one fried egg at a time. That's a joint purchase, but only one egg at a time? Yeah, because we didn't need the whole big pan. We were just doing it before uni.

God damn it. But you can't cook two eggs. That's not practical for two people to have their ownership. It's one at a time. No one's eating one egg at a time. I've got one of those pans, and you realise very quickly how useless they are because nothing else fits in them, unless you're like caramelising an onion or something.

No, none of that. Just an egg. All right, well, we want to take your calls this morning. 0800 DALS at M9696. What was your first joint purchase with your partner? Maybe it was something big. Maybe it was something big. Maybe it was something small. Maybe it was controversial.

Maybe down the line you broke up and there were arguments over it. I want to know also, yeah, how they were split if you didn't make, if you didn't last the distance. Especially if it was an animal and you buy a dog together and then you split up a year later. Who gets the dog? Custody stuff. Yeah, I had a friend who had two dogs together.

Massive split. Yeah. You know, splitting the company was fine. Splitting the house was fine. But splitting the dogs, they did joint custody. So they put them down. No, they did joint custody. Right.

Of dogs. It didn't work. He bought them. Well, 0800DARLS.M9696, what was your joint purchase, your first joint purchase? We're talking joint purchases. Fledgling relationships, there's got to be that time where you've got to decide to purchase something as a couple.

Yeah, what was your first joint purchase? Yeah, some text messages in on it. Our first split point purchase, our joint purchase, was the morning after pill at a pharmacy. That's good that you went halves in that. Both played a role in the, you know, the kneading. How much does that cost? They were expensive.

They were like 60 bucks or something back in the day. The ECP, is that what it's known as? No, I've accidentally searched RCP and it told me, hey, do you mean the red hot chilli peppers. Oh, okay. No.

ECP price. That's very interesting if that's been affected by inflation. Oh, $5 for a prescription for one to two extra ECPs. You can buy them at a pharmacy without a prescription. It'll cost between $35 and $50. These costs for New Zealand residents. Oh, okay. But usually you're in such a bloody panic, right?

You don't wait for a doctor's appointment. You just go and pay the upfront cost. Yeah, right. Pay what it needs. Some other text messages in on the first joint purchase. Something's caught his attention. It was a 1939 edition of Mein Kampf. Don't call.

Don't call me. I'm scared I'm on a list already. We broke up on Monday and I was very tempted to rip it in half. So does this sound like someone who was in a relationship with someone who was like, you need to read this great book. It's like Harry Potter, except not. You need to read this book. So they purchase it.

And now that they've broken up, they're like, I actually am not into Nazism at all. I was just swept up in the moment. That is wild. But why are they tempted to rip it in half? Put it in the bin. Get rid of it. Set it on fire. Set it on fire. Sell it to a Nazi. Make some money. Oh my god, this thing shocked me again.

No, that's the ghost of Hitler, shocking you for mocking him. Don't say sorry to Hitler. Vanessa, what was your first joint purchase? It was a house. What? So you hadn't bought anything joint before then? No.

So we started looking. We weren't together when we started looking. It was kind of like, oh, we can, like, we'd be able to buy it together. And then we ended up together before we started looking. It was kind of like, oh, we can, like, we'll just be able to buy it together. And then we ended up together before we purchased the house. So, yeah. Oh, you were friends

beforehand? You were friends beforehand? Looking to do a joint purchase of a house and then, you know, through the hardship of rejection and not finding the house of your dreams, you fell in love. Yeah, it brought us together and we were like, well, if we can get through that, then we're probably a pretty good team. I was going to say, buying a house is not as romantic as they make it in the films.

No. It is very stressful. Wow. Okay. All right, Vanessa. That's cool. Thanks, you're cool. Rebecca, what was your first joint purchase?

Our first joint purchase was watercolour coffee. Oh, cute. How quickly into a relationship? Probably about eight months. We hadn't even moved in together yet. Oh, dog.

Big thing to buy a dog when you're living in a unit. Especially a border collie, those things are a little energy unit. Yeah. So fast forward now,

how old is the dog? He's just coming up to six and we just got married and he attended our wedding. Oh, yay! Oh, that was cute. What's the dog's name? just coming up six and we just got married and he attended our wedding oh yay oh that was cute

what's the dog's name Gus Gus great name for a dog yes super cute this is a super

happy ending yeah super cute thanks Rebecca some messages in our first joint purchase was a $3,000 modular couch we broke up

I left the relationship with two seats in an ottoman Our first joint purchase was a $3,000 modular couch. We broke up. I left the relationship with two seats in an ottoman. But what, you just left him with a corner? Oh, like maybe one of those ones he was like, bit, bit, bit, bit, bit, bit, bit. Yeah, and so she took two things that can function as a seat, and now he's got a stunted little chody out. A chody chaise lounge. But he can't decide which way isody chaise lounge but he can't decide which way is the

chaise lounge because it's the same length both ways and it's Chody which way is chilly chilly lounge and he watches TV

or cries in a right angle position now yeah it's good though actually it is that's a great idea

of forward thinking when you're buying a couch with your partner make it modular yeah then just take the modules you can split the couch with your partner. Make it modular. Yeah, then just take the modules. You can split the couch. And then he could always buy another extra module,

but it would be newer fabric. The sun fade. The sun fade would be quite bad. Maybe cover it with a blanket. Get one of those big stretchy sacks, you know. Yeah. Then you put it over a couch if you're a student. When you've got a rank couch. Yeah. So you just wash the cover. Yeah, so cute.

Full bedroom set was our first purchase together. Headboard drawers and bedside tables, etc. Oh, that's serious. We've been living together for three years now and one year in we bought our first thing together.

It was a trash bin. He chose a $45 fancy one with segregation for trash and biodegradable. I wanted the simple one. He promised we'd use it properly. After two days, he gave up and threw the useless bin out. After that purchase, we never bought anything together,

and our relationship has been on edge. Oh, babe. Now, you'll remember at the start of that message, which feels like an eternity ago, they've been living together for three years, and one year in, this bin, let's call it bin gate happened. Yeah. And since then, they've been living on each other.

That's two years of a three-year relationship. Because of the bin. Life's too short. Yeah, you've got to get out. Find a guy that knows how to use a bin or just is happy with a simple bin. I hate those tiny bins and it's like, put your little recycling here and you get one bottle

and it's full. One wine bottle and maybe one box. What's the point of this? Yeah. Yeah. A couple of other morning after pills, so that's good to see. Yeah, good that people are going halves. The cost has been split there.

That's really nice. Oh, I wanted us to go to my cousin's wedding in Australia together, but he didn't have a passport, so we went halves on his passport fee. Six months into our relationship, our first joint purchase was his passport. I don't know if they're still together. That'd be interesting to hear. Yeah, because you're really having to mummy him. Yeah. With his life admin. And he gets to benefit

from that now 10 years. Yeah, that's true. Totally. I'd rip up the password if we broke up. So would I. Just chuck him in the water. Yeah, just chuck him out of spite. Yeah, yeah. Cut it. ID page is waterproof now, but the rest of the pages go crinkly. Yeah, go soggy. We bought a bed together.

He bought the base. I paid for the mattress. When we broke up, he slept on the bed base for a few weeks before he could afford to buy it. He should team up with Chody Couch Guy. They could probably make quite the collection of half-assed furniture. They could. Fact of the day

Day, day, day, day Today's fact of the day My microphone wouldn't stop wobbling there I might stop real quick that time. I did that coin thing before where it was like rolling around on itself. Wobble, wobble, wobble, wobble. Today's fact of the day, I didn't even know this was a thing. It was brought to my attention yesterday by somebody who said,

has this change in atmospheric pressure given anybody else a migraine? And I said, well, all the humidity. This sounds nonsense. No, you know, it was real humid and real, like, high pressure. I think it's high, right? Yeah. That's the H. Yeah.

But sometimes the H can be, like, crazy weather. Anyway, that's barometric pressure, right? That's that thing that hangs on the wall at your parents' or grandparents' house and they walk past and they tap it. Oh, yeah. And then the little needle's like, fair. Yeah. Stormy.

And when that changes, it's going to be changing in the weather. Yeah. Somebody said, has this triggered anybody else's headache? And I was like, this sounds like

some hocus pocus. Rubbish nonsense. And it is not. Oh, okay. Change in weather pressure, barometric pressure, gives people headaches. Can give some people headaches.

Wow. Yeah. the change of pressure that made me think, do these same people get like wild headaches on planes? Yeah, but then you don't technically because the cabin's pressurised. But it's pressurised but it's still not as pressurised. Your ears pop. Like it's the pressure

and the weather changing would be equivalent to being on a plane or going up a hill when your ears go and pop. Yeah. Does that also trigger headaches? So I looked it up and it's like, yeah, changes in weather, especially changes in barometric pressure, increase the likelihood of having a headache.

How? Can you tell us how? Is your brain swelled? Does it just go? Is it a hot brain? Well, it's exactly like if you are in a swimming pool, you know, and you go down and you've got to equalise like that. But just the change in the pressure on the outside can give you a headache.

And so it's the same when the weather changes quickly, it's a quick change in pressure and it can trigger people having headaches. So if you just get a change of weather, if you just get a mystery headache from a change of weather, you could be sensitive to barometric pressure changes. Weather sensitive. Yeah. And then, God, if you've got to get the washing off the line,

it's extra stress. That's a headache. That's a headache in itself too. I got out of bed on a Sunday at 7 a.m. Made it though. Got it off. Yesterday? Yeah.

You left your washing overnight. But it was like, how is it still on the line? That would have been, what peg are you using? You lose You left your washing overnight. But it was like, how is it still on the line? That would have been... What peg are you using? Because there was a lot of wind on the Saturday night leading into the Sunday. I've got to... I'm having a real experiment with pegs and I've found the ones. The clippy ones

are the best ones. No, no, no. Clippies are not the best. No, they are. The clippy with the spring is great. Yeah, that's the best. That's the best. I don't want your rusty arse. You're not putting that three-prong peg on, are you? No, no, no, no. What's a three-prong peg? I like the one that's like a pincher and it's got like,

good thing, good thing, good thing. Because you like can click it down. Click, click, click. No. Down deeper. Those are junk. And it goes tighter. They don't last.

I thought they were the junk ones and I got fancy little clip ones and they suck. So when I'm hanging a sheet and I want it to stay in place, and I got fancy little clip ones, and they suck. So when I'm hanging a sheet and I want it to stay in place, click, click, click, click, click down. Not peg, not pinch. But the spring-loaded ones, you can push down to the tighter setting of the spring as well. The proof is in the pudding.

I lost not a single item in that overnight store. Are they new, though? Because this is the thing about those ones. No, they're old as. Are you talking about the sunshine pegs that they sell at the supermarket? Sunshine pegs, classic. That's the one I'm thinking. These ones. Yeah, yeah. Those are the spring-loaded. No, the old is. Are you talking about the sunshine pegs that they sell at the supermarket? Sunshine pegs, classic. That's the one I'm thinking. These ones.

Yeah, yeah. Are those your pegs? No, no, no. They're the best pegs ever. She's zero spring. Spring free. She's zero spring. Here's the only problem with the sunshine pegs.

After a summer, New Zealand's hot sun deteriorates the weakest point, and it's always exposed. It's just behind the spring on the handle side. Yeah. And it pops and it breaks. They're $5.50 a packet. No. How many?

20. No. Is that enough pegs? You don't need them. You just need the ones that go click down. Where did you get them from? They just have a little pinch. I think I inherited them when I bought the house.

They were already on the line. They were on the line. And I was like, I'll just use these. Click, click, click. Nothing moves. I'd be willing to spend a bit of money on a peg. You don't need to.

You don't need to. No, I know, but I'm now also open to, and like this discussion need stay on here. No longer. I'm willing to take this, what we call in the PR industry, an offline discussion. All right.

Okay. We're going to take this offline. It's going to be a WIP, but if anybody is listening and has like a hot peg suggestion, hot peg suggestion, because all of our pegs, and you know what?

It's time for a new peg basket at the Smith House. Oh, yeah, because they do get rusty. They deteriorate the sun as well. I'm going to bring you two of these pegs. Yes. And you can hang up a sheet. A towel. With two pegs.

Or a towel. Do a towel. A heavy wet towel. Heavy wet towel. With just two pegs. Two of these. Oh. Will not move.

I'm going to bring you two. Wow, okay. This is a big promise on a peg. I'll stand by it. This is a. This is a big promise on a peg. I'll stand by it. This is a huge amount of weight to put on a peg. I need a peg holder. I need suggestions. I will take them now on 9696.

You have to update us on your pegged situation. I will, tomorrow. It's all about pegging. It's a big pegging chat. We're not going to talk about pegging. What do I need? What's the best peg on the market? Yeah, okay.

Update us tomorrow. Has Consumer done a... I don't know. They mostly do washing machines. Maybe I could submit my findings to Consumer. You probably could. Like this kind of style. Because everybody uses pegs.

It's the thing. Everybody uses it and no one talks about them. You monster. Smart two-ended action. But not these. I'm not going two-ended on my pegging. They're not... Because they've got a smooth channel in the middle of them.

That's not holding jack. No, you need that. You need ka-dunk, ka-dunk, ka-dunk. Like a wire cutter. Like a wire cutter. No, I don't know. Like a wire cutter. Ruins your towels.

Well, anyway, today's fact of the day. We do get slightly waylaid there. But again, I am on 9696. Now open to big suggestions where I can get them from. Maybe even a brand name. You can send pictures to any of our social medias, FEH, ZN. Please inundate us with pictures of your pegs, your great pegs, if you like a peg.

Somebody's asking here, have you tried Adult Toy Megastore? That is a completely different store. That's for a different chat. That again, I'll take that offline because I'm going to be 40 on Sunday and it's time I started trying these things. I need a bucket list

we established earlier on the show and why not chuck that on there? Why not? Okay, so today's fact of the day. What was it? Ah,

the barometer. People get, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,

yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,

yes, yes. Today's fact of the day is a quick change in atmospheric pressure can trigger some people to get headaches or migraines. Fact of the day is a quick change in atmospheric pressure can trigger some people to get headaches or migraines. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Text machine is popping off with pig chat.

Cancel what we've got next in the show. We're bringing it back online. Pig chat soon on the show. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. It was just an innocent conversation about clothes pegs. What you just missed before, Vaughn, was Fletch demonstrated for me the three-pronged peg, this mythical peg that he can't actually find. I can't find it online.

Mum's got a whole basket of them. What's it made of? Well, it's plastic, but I swear they're still alive from the 90s. Two behind, one in front. There's the line. If something has lasted from the 90s in a New Plymouth sunlight hour through the roof, one of my sunny regions, if something's lasted since the 90s, it's a big double tick for me.

She'll go the classic sunshine pegs. That's your spring-loaded, bright-colored plastic peg. I'm going the push pegs. The plastic push pegs. So basic. Click, click, click, click. Which are from where you might a 10 sell like 100 packs. Might a 10 sell them or you've got your pack and save.

$6.49 for 50. Three different holes. They get larger. Yeah. So you click one down. one down for your towels maybe. The beach towel, yeah. And then you go another down for your general clothes and then maybe another one nice and tight for your sheets.

I worry that you're distressing the fabric. I do have a bit of sort of gathering and general pinching on the clothing. You have general pinching. You said before you got up at 7 o'clock in the morning, got your clothes and you're leaving your clothes on the line overnight. That's madness. I know. I know.

People were coming for me on the text machine actually that I left my clothes on the line. It's very warm in Auckland at the moment. You'll get your panties pinched. I did get my panties. My panties were a little, what, pinched? Like nicked? Pinched.

People will steal your panties. You'll have a closed gate. Christina's called. Christina engaged in the pig chat. This got you riled up, didn't it? You love a bit of pig chat? Christina, you love engaged in the pig chat. This got you riled up, didn't it? You love a bit of pig chat? Christina, you love a bit of pig chat? You weren't expecting on a Monday to get a bit of pig

chat, were you? Yeah, well, yes. I'm in the car listening to the pig chat, yep. But I'm packed up now, so I'm all good. What are you advocating for? So I'm advocating for the stainless steel pigs, and they're sold by Bento Ninja, which is a New Zealand company. I don't know where they're made,

but the New Zealand people sell them. And they're really good because they're stainless steel, so they don't degrade. But I'm impressed with the ones that are, you know, from New Plymouth that haven't degraded since the 90s. The triple one?

But there's no proof that it exists. I can't find any. We need, Bev will be at work. Bev will be at work. She won't be able to. Otherwise she'd probably have sent me a picture on WhatsApp already. Yeah, she'd be all over that.

So these ones, they're marine grade, and they come in two different lengths of strength. So the sheet-sized ones and the little kind of more t-sheety ones. So it's super handy. I want to say, just looking at them, first impressions, you've got to have quite a thick washing line. I reckon there'd be a lot of air if you were like me and had a thinner sort of plastic wire. So we've got an outside washing line. I reckon there'd be a lot of air if you were like me and had a thinner sort of plastic

wire. So we've got an outside washing line, but we also have the clothes horse, you know, like the sold out ones put on the deck, yeah. And they don't rust because you don't want like... Well, she said marine grade. Oh, yeah, you don't want... That's what that means. It'll stand up to salt water on a boat. Okay.

Even in West Auckland you could use them. Do you find because of the metal, the metal's quite thin, as opposed to if you had a plastic sort of pinch or a push peg, sort of a softer touch on the fabric, do you find they pinch the clothes? They do leave a wee peg mark. Thank you. Now the truth comes out.

Now it comes out, Christina. Yeah, go on, Christina. I reckon a little flea market's better than having plastic crumble on the ground after a year or two. That's true. How long have yours lasted? Because I'm seeing here 20 of them for $35. That's at the price of the big guy.

Not cheap, but it was a wee bit of a lockdown purchase in our first lockdown. So I haven't felt well. Is that a couple of years? Christina, that's so cute. I like that you were like, I need to treat myself, whereas I was eating myself to death. Eating and drinking myself to death.

I've been drunk every day. You were like, you know what, I need pigs. Yep, I need pigs. Brilliant. Christina, thank you. Angela, the pig chat has stirred you. Yes. Welcome to the chat, Angela.

Where do you sit on this pig scale? What's your pig of choice? I like the pink pigs that are just the plastic ones that go tick-a-tick down. Yeah, tick-a-tick. Tick-a-tick. You're a push pig girl. A girl up to her own heart. Yeah, definitely.

Right. So these are the pink pig ones? They're called pink pigs, like from Mr. Pink, I think. Yeah, yeah. They're really cool. But Mr. Pink Pigs also does a spring-loaded peg. No. Yeah, but these ones are better.

These ones are way better. Because it's strong. Look, it says here strong. Strong. You can accidentally push too far down on a thick, wet beach towel with this peg. It stretches it out. Not never. Never had any of them break like that. And otherwise, you just sort of separate them for thicker and thinner.

I like it because it's got so many little ticks down that you can just, but nothing comes off. And we're a family of six and everything stays. Wow. Okay, good. I like the idea too of all my pegs being the same colour because if I'm hanging up like a shirt and it requires two pegs, I've got to find matching colour pegs.

Oh, no, I don't. I do different colours. I'm a monster. Angela, thank you. A lot of messages in on this. This is an unbelievable response. On Wellington, we have a one pegger and a two peg a day. Low wind is one peg each

side. High wind, two pegs each side. Yeah. Someone said what about, I saw some sustainable bamboo wooden pegs Trash Rubbish These people said They claim that they last in the sun

My wooden peg experience is They get wet in winter They split Yes they split And then they never recover I think when it comes to pegs We have to forget about the environment We have to

The sustainable ones Also we're going down anyway. Oh, mate, what's a peg? You can't be taking down a peg or two by a peg. No, no, exactly. I'm all on board with these stainless steel pegs. They seem to last forever. Then, of course, I asked about peg baskets.

What do I do? Because that needs to replace the plastics come asunder in the sun. Someone said you can get a peg bag from the Waihi Beach Market. Peg bag? A peg bag? A peg bag from the Waihi Beach Market. Peg bag? A peg bag? Where does the water go? Is it mesh? I don't know.

You'd be better with a mesh bag because then if it rains, it's not going to fill up. Someone else said, look no further. Here's your ultimate combo. Pink pegs from Pack and Save. Yeah. And a green polycoated wire peg basket from Mitre 10. I've had it three years and it still looks brand new.

All right. Oh, okay. I think I'm going to update because I'm embarrassed now about my pegs. You've been living in shame with your peg basket. Well, because I've got like some wood and some plastic, some spring, some push peg. Pick your peg. Stick to your peg. Okay.

Bucket a shots bucket makes a great peg bucket. Or a Christmas cookie bucket. Here's my problem. It rains. The wood can't escape. Drill holes. Drill holes in the bottom. Yeah. Here's my problem. It rains. The water can't escape. Drill holes. Drill holes in the bottom. And then hang it on the line. Because on a Christmas cookie bucket, you can take the handle

off and get it over. Can you take the sticker off? Because I don't want to be reminded about biscuits every time I'm doing the washing. No, but you just hung the washing. You need a treat. You do. You've done all that hard work. It's lifting. That's weights. Yeah, it's exercise. Shoulder press.

Yeah. Low resistance. Yeah. Great peg chat, New Zealand. Do you reckon we've got a definitive answer about the superior peg or are we going to go it's just the push peg? Incredi-peg. Somebody said that's a New Zealand-made peg. Yeah.

Well, the sunshine pegs are New Zealand pegs. They're my favourite. Are we a world leader in pegs? I think we could. It feels like New Zealand's a world. Oh my favourite. Are we a world leader in pegs? I think we could. It feels like New Zealand's a world... What is this? What is it called? Incredipeg. It's

a completely different sort of peg. It's more like a bread tag. What? I don't know about that. It's a proudly South African product. Don't know about that. Look, this is what it looks like. The Incredipeg. That looks silly. It's likeg. Oh, that looks silly.

It's like a musical note. Yeah, don't want a hook over. Either side. If you go on Incredipeg.com, they've got a 25% off for Valentine's Day. Don't get your missus a bag of pegs for Valentine's Day. Get your mister a bag of pegs, though. Okay.

Now, I did notice this happening, Megapegs, though. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Now, I did notice this happening, but I didn't realise it was a thing until now. Today, I've read this article that it's a thing. Right. So you might have noticed on Instagram that the way people are posting and the kind of stuff that people are posting

has totally changed in the last year or so. So back when, like when Instagram is like, if you think about the Kardashians, fully curated, filtered, perfect photos, professional feeling stuff. I remember when I met people had a colour palette. Oh, yeah. People would always run through this filter

that made everything a little bit more like tanny. So when you look at the feed, it looks cohesive. Yeah. Well, now the feed, it looks cohesive. Yeah. Well, now the new trend is ugly Instagram. Like making it peak ugly. They're saying it's Instagram's peak ugly era where people are doing unfiltered photos of like kind of uninteresting things. There's an example here of like some concrete with a few hot chips that have fallen out on the grass.

No filter. Not that interesting. Or just doing photo dumps and some of them are like blurry. Photo dumps is interesting. Yes, I've seen these. It's like photos from lately. Photo dump.

Just blur of my face. You're like, what is this? Apparently it's a trend. I'm not one to speak about it because I've only just sort of started to try to make better photos on Instagram. Would you like to go to the social media desk? I would like some assistance please. Carween,

what is going on? What's happening? So I think this is probably like Jen Zed's little way of making Instagram. I've had a gutsful of this Jen. Sorry. I am part of this gen. Sorry.

I am part of that. You are. You're a prime example. Everything that's wrong with it. But why the change? Why are people posting sort of purposefully ugly posts? So I think this is kind of to take Instagram away from being that place where you're like,

oh, comparing yourself to everyone's perfect lives and making a bit more of this thing called casual Instagram. Which is also curated brilliantly. Yeah, I was going to say, so it's equally as curated. They probably put more time into getting the perfect blurry photo rather than... Yes. Yeah. Yeah, so people are posting blurry

photos of themselves to make it look like, oh, just like, it's just taken. I'm just going to post it. No biggie. People live posting. So like, while they're out, as soon as they like, take the photo, they like, post it. They're like, live's just taken. I'm just going to post it. No biggie. People live posting. So like while they're out, as soon as they like take the photo, they like post it. They're like live in the club. Oh, wow. So no filters, nothing. Yeah, no.

Rather than like saving it for the next morning. Yeah, or like posting it at peak times. Is this why? People post things at specific times of the day. Yeah, more people online at specific times. Jesus of Nazareth. I can't keep up with that. Are you going to start live posting your farm

animals? Sure. Blurry picture of a cow. How ugly are we going? I'm like very well known for a double chin. Also a side profile very soft in the jaw. I'd say that's all welcome. I've got a bit of an ingrown toenail at the jaw. I'd say that's all welcome. That's all welcome.

I've got a bit of an ingrown toenail at the moment. What are we thinking? Try it out. You should just do a photo dump of all your body insecurities. Yeah, yeah. I've got to sort of, I feel as though there's a bit of chest here. Oh, that's inspiring though, you know. But then.

What the hell is that? Okay. What, so if I. This whole thing's unusual. Drop some chips on the floor, take a photo. Yeah. Let's post it. Live post. I'm so confused. This whole thing's unusual. If I drop some chips on the floor, take a photo, yeah. Let's post it. Live post.

I'm so confused. Now, a friend of mine sharted the other day. Would he share such a thing? Yeah. He shared it with me and I was like, I don't even know why you're sharing it with me in text form. I've got a couple of friends that if they do a number twos of note, I'll get a little visual representation of it.

Are you kidding? Absolutely. That is disgusting. When it's impressive, though. When it. Are you kidding? Absolutely. That is disgusting. When it's impressive though. When it's impressive, it's impressive. What, like long in one whole thing? Like when you just sort of, you text back like, good luck with that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Godspeed. Or when you can't see any water. Are you having a nap? ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
