For a few years, in the 1970s, the Mr Asia syndicate made millions. Heroin creates its own market. It acts like a form of play. Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down. Then he just pulled out a gun, shot her in the back of the head, and then said to Wayne, you're going to help me bury her. This is Mr Asia, A Forgotten History.

Conditions apply. Well, another day in New Zealand, another petrol price rise, and another couple of ram raids. Oh, God, it's getting quite repetitive, isn't it? I tell you what, though. Have you seen the latest ram raid or the one that happened yesterday

overnight in Wainuiomata? They used a digger to go at a petrol station. Cheapest. Don't ram raid a petrol station. They're very explosive places. Don't ram raid. A, don't ram raid. B, certainly don't ram raid a petrol station.

C, don't do it in very crazy, super heavy machinery. How did the petrol station weather the attack? I've got a photo. It was a stolen digger. It went straight through the no pay window.

Oh, good lord. That's what I don't understand. This would have been a 24-hour servo, right? I think so, by the looks of it. Yeah, it looks like it. I've absolutely got it. Well, no, maybe not because it had the roller doors down and they've gone through the window to get the doors down.

Jeepers. To smash into it. What are they looking for? There's not that much in a petrol station. Well, they got the, oh, I guess maybe the ciggies. Maybe they were after the chocolate bars. They got it from a nearby construction site. Yeah, got in through the window and then police came with the dogs

and couldn't find anything. Do diggers have keys? Apparently, I think they've got a universal. Maybe back in the day But I don't believe They'd have a universal Key anymore Steal one

Steal one key You can steal all the diggers Can you hotwire a tractor Yep A digger You can hotwire anything That starts With a

Electronic Right An electric key turn Well I don't know If it's because Mercury Is in retrograde But it's a bit of a funk Over the nation

At the moment Yeah We're going to try To drag you out of that funk today. At the end of today's podcast, another special That Wasn't For Broadcast segment, where a phoner we did had a variety of results, all of which were gross, some gross enough that we're like, oh, yeah, that's gross, some so gross that I'm even reluctant to put them on the podcast, they'll be buried at the end and there will be a trigger warning beforehand.

Yes. Saying if you're grossed out by gross stuff. Do we need a trigger warning for the butt that's in my kiwi fruit? Speaking of gross. My kiwi fruit's got a butt. Like a crevice. A hairy crevice. Yeah, stop stroking your finger.

You really know how to work your way up and down a crevice with your finger, don't you? You really. That's not your first time fingering a kiwi fruit bar. What do you think that bit is? It's a bit of a raised. It's the tailbone. Hold it upside down. There you go.

Oh, yeah. It's a little bit of an exuding tailbone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway. Oh, put that in your mouth and enjoy it. We'll see you at the end of the podcast. ZM's Fletchport and Hayley. We'll see you at the end of the podcast. Thanks, Lee.

Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Two minutes past six. I don't think we give this track enough air time. I'm just hearing it for the first time. Really hearing it. Really actually hearing it. Just hearing it. Yeah.

What's that thing? You're listening, but are you hearing me? I'm hearing it. Do you know what I mean? I've listened to it. I would have said it the other way around. You're hearing me, but are you listening? Yeah, okay.

That makes more sense. Yeah. No, no, no. I'm listening. I'm listening to you. But are you hearing me? Are you hearing me? I think both ways work.

Both ways work. Yeah. But one definitely needs to be recognised as the more intense, you know? Yeah. So right here on the show, right now, we're deciding. Is listening or hearing? Because when people say, I want to be heard. Okay, wait, it's too deep for this kind of conversation.

I don't know if it is, man. I don't know if it is. I think it is. This was just about our little woo-woo-woo. Coming up on the show, Jesus, what did you do then? Was that just my headphones? No, I heard it too. Yeah, that's when you go that high, the radio, you break the radio.

So don't do that. Everyone's car, oh, everyone a new car radio. I'm sorry. Coming up on the show, the top six. Yeah, there's a Movenpick Hotel in Auckland. And I laughed and I said, ha ha, I like the ice cream. And Fletch said, yeah, they're in Europe. Yeah, I've stayed in one in like Berlin.

It's an ice cream themed. No. Is your bed a cone? No, it's like your sleeping bag. You hop in and then they tuck you in with chocolate sauce. They put sprinkles on you. It's just a hotel, but the name is the same as the ice cream? More than the pick.

No, but more than the pick is a mountain, but is it the same company as the... Well, it's the same logo as the ice cream. Yeah, but the logo, anything is more than pick. the same company as the... Well, it's the same logo as the ice cream. Yeah, but the logo, anything is Movenpick. It's always the mountain. No, it's the same logo. Exactly the same logo. No, it is the same company.

It is the same company. Yeah, because the Mercure that it used to be in Auckland was a COVID hotel. So, they were like, let's rebrand this and paint everything black. Who wants to put their name on it? And then no one will remember that COVID people... Paint everything black? Is that how you keep name on it? And then no one will remember that COVID people. Paint everything black? Is that how you keep COVID in? Yeah, apparently.

Paint over. They've had a bit of a rejuge. Oh, okay. They've got all sorts of ice cream features. Oh, okay. Like chocolate hour. The one that I was at never had that. Unless I missed chocolate hour.

You might have missed chocolate hour. You might have missed it. You might have been too busy at happy hour. Yes. Chocolate hours afterwards. Well, a chocolate hour would make me very missed chocolate hour. You might have been too busy at happy hour. Chocolate hours afterwards. Well, a chocolate hour would make me very happy. Yeah, I know.

For at least an hour and then I'd crash and I'd need more chocolate and go back for some more and bounce along. They have a 24-hour Sunday bar. That is not needed. That is a dangerous temptation.

So I've got the top six other ice creams that need their own hotel. Yes. Please have the Goody Goody Gumdrops Hotel for Hayley and I. The Goody Goody Gumdrops Hotel. Because you know that's our favourite ice cream. It's a great ice cream.

Why have they not bagged those lollies yet as just like little mixes? Because I don't know if they'd be as good on their own. They must be soft as all hell at room temperature. They live in ice cream, for crying out loud. And they're not unbreakable at ice cream temperature. It's coming up in the top six. Also coming up today are the retro petrol time machine, 8 o'clock. More chance for you to win fuel.

We do it every day across the day, 8, 12, and 5. Next on the show, though. Neighbours at war. And this time it's not me. I finally found some peace with mine. This sounds like a nightmare. You know I've had my own You've got to stop eating nuts

right before you go on here. I was in your nut jar. I tell you what, I saw a macadamia and I couldn't stop. I couldn't help myself. I've got to stop eating nuts right before you go on here. I know, but open it up. It's in your nut jar. I tell you what, I saw a macadamia and I couldn't stop. I couldn't help myself. I've got almonds, cashews, macadamias, pistachios. Right, a king of nuts. And I have put in some little choccy chippies. Oh, that's not a nut, is it?

Although it is the result of a bean. Yeah, close. And a bean's almost a nut So close enough Now I've just added another one when I was talking about it Because I saw a cashew and I thought Boy does he look tasty Okay, my mouth is clear

So you know I've had my own neighbours at war With multiple sets of neighbours You had to move So far away Yeah, it turns out you were the problem No No I would say I am the problem. No. No.

I would say I am the problem now because I've moved to such a quiet neighbourhood that all I wanted was peace and quiet. And now I have realised, like, oh, we make a bit of noise. Yeah. But someone else is having some neighbours at war issues. So there's a guy in Auckland, I believe. Right. Who has taken things into his own hands. So he was having a bit of a barney with his neighbours because two reasons.

So his neighbours have had a new baby. Yeah. Brand new baby. Brand spanking new. Straight out of the plastic. Yeah. And two issues. One, he's a drummer.

Yeah. And he says it's soundproof but like nothing's soundproof to drums and he likes to play drums. So to accommodate the baby, he stopped playing drums at 6pm every night. But still, incredibly annoying, babies famously sleep multiple times during the day.

He also works and comes home from work at 11pm and apparently when he pushes the button, you know, to raise his roller door of his garage, it gives off four quiet, he says, so quiet sometimes he can't hear them, little beeps. Oh, okay. I hate a beep. I believe in hate a beep.

But it gives off four beeps and then he can go into the garage. And then apparently the neighbour came over to him and was like, you know, we've addressed the drum situation, if you could just like not drum late and da-da-da-da. But are you able to wait until the morning to park your car? Because you come home at 11pm. Well, you can't ask someone to do that. No, you can't say park your car on the street.

At hours it's most likely to be stolen to move it inside. And this was his point because he was like, there's been lots of car break-ins, so no, I'm not going to do that. And the beeps are so quiet. So he came home after work the next day and the guy has just straight up parked in front of his driveway. So he can't

get up the driveway to park in the garage. Oh, that's an a-hole move. A big a-hole move. So this is in the news. why? Because was the neighbour just like, I'm gonna go to the press? So the neighbour got home and saw the thing and was like, oh my god. So in the middle of the night, he just got the car towed away.

He was just like, well... You know what, that's fine. I'm on his side. I know, and then the reason he shared it with the internet, because he was like, was that too much? Nah. You know, they've got a baby and have just removed their car away. I don't think it's too much.

You can't park over someone's driveway. Yeah, it's escalated the situation though, hasn't it? It hasn't been. He's also brought up a good point that the four beeps of the garage door are definitely annoying the parents, not the baby. Babies sleep, like, you go into

a baby's room and their white noise machine's like like all night long. Yeah. You tell me four little gentle beeps are going to annoy him? And if your baby gets used to four beeps, four beeps won't wake it up. Yeah, exactly. It's everybody that puts a baby to sleep and then demands

crystal quiet. If I ever, yeah. And then it drops a fork in the kitchen and the baby's like. If I ever have a baby, I'm going to get it used to the sound of Prosecco popping. Like as soon as I bring that thing home, even if I'm not drinking it. You'll be playing the sound effects to get it used to it. Yeah, and just as it's going to sleep, I'll be walking into its room and like shaking up a bottle. Well, just while it's in the womb, just pop it right next to the belly. Yeah, absolutely.

And drink a couple of glasses. Yeah. I don't think you do that. Just so it gets used to the taste as well. No, no, no. I mean, generally shunned. I'd say across the board, shunned. Yeah, right.

I was welcome to the world because my mum had a little champagne. To get it going. Yeah. I was due and she was at my brother's birthday and she was like, I'll just have a little glass of bubbles and I was like... I'm coming, mama. And that's why you're an alcoholic now. That's

right. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. So the government's, I see the front page of the paper in front of you and the government's announced a whole lot of green things. Initiatives. Green initiatives.

That's how they announced it. Green things. Guys, guys, guys. We've got some good green things for you. Green things? Like, oh boy, they're green. What are they? Well, they're going to ban Vaughan's old car. Good luck.

That's going to be, that gas guzzler's gone. You're going to have to leave that parked in the garage. Why are they? Well, they're going to ban gas guzzlers, aren't they? It's not a gas guzzler. Oh, it is. It's got a two-litre engine. It's like from 1927.

1967. Oh. 1920. It pumps a bit of smoke, but... You've got a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Oh, you're not allowed to take Chitty Chitty Bang Bang out anymore, kids. Sorry, the government scrapped the ability to drive Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Well, of course, we're all hoping to get to, what, carbon zero?

2050? To reduce our carbon emissions. If you dare speak for me, I want to stick with a good carbon 50. Carbon zero by 2050, I believe, is the goal. Right, well, this story that I wanted to talk about comes to us from Finland, its oldest city, famed for its medieval castles. Cool. Turku.

T-U-R-K-U. Is that how you'd say that? Turku? Turku? Turku? Sure. Well, it is now using large industrial heat pumps to extract energy from the city's poos, the wastewater.

Yes. Into a heat pump. Yeah, which might make it smell a bit like some parts of Christchurch at the moment because, you know, they had that issue with the sewerage. The Bairwood or Burnside. It's one of the B suburbs. It caught on fire or something. There was a fire.

And then now, depending on which way the wind blows, you get this. Oh, dear. But surely if they've got the technology to get energy out of poops. They removed the smell. Right. Yeah. That's good, isn't it?

How? I mean, can we use anything as fuel now? Poops. Well, I know that people talked about like, I watched a documentary and there was a African tribe using elephant dung not only to line the walls of their huts

Oh yeah. But also as a fuel. Dry it out and it would burn. What, do you just break off little bits like a meringue and just chuck it in your petrol tank? Oh yeah, no, I don't know. I don't know about just chucking it straight in the petrol tank. There's probably slightly more to it, but meringue and just chuck it in your petrol tank. In your petrol tank. Oh, yeah, no, I don't know. I don't know about just chucking it straight in the petrol tank. There's probably slightly more to it.

But they were just using it to, like, cook. Right. Oh, right. Yeah, fascinating. That makes sense. Let it dry out and then it would light. I guess because it's full of things like hay and fibres and they eat trees and branches. So dry it out so the moisture's not a problem and then it will burn.

Huh, well, apparently this generates enough hot water to heat homes for like 12,000 people. Wow. In this Finnish town, yeah. Is it the methane? Must be. I mean, don't ask me about the science. Don't ask me how it works, but yeah. Well, very clever.

God, who put their mind to that? Who sort of went to work on a Monday and thought, guys, this might be crazy, but... I reckon it was a Nokia engineer. They've probably not had much to do lately. That's what they're famous for. Angry Birds, Nokia and IKEA? Or is that Sweden? No, that's Sweden, isn't it?

Hot blonde beach volleyball players? That's it. That's what they're known for. From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hi there. Movenpick, the ice cream brand, is taking the lease. I don't know the official terms for these hotel things. They're not building a new hotel.

It's rebranded. It's a rebrand, but obviously they've got to buy into it, right? Yeah. No, it's the same company. Oh. So it's the Accor Hotel Group. It was the Mercure downtown in Auckland. It's been rebranded as the Movenpick.

It's one of their brands. So they have like 10 different hotel brands under their company. You do? No, we always know a lot about this. I've just been Googling because I was like, is Movenpick ice cream the same as the hotel chain? Because I've stayed in a Movenpick hotel overseas.

Wow. And I wondered at the time, but then I just couldn't care less. Yeah. The Movenpick guy started out as like a restaurant, a restaurateur in the 1948 was the first restaurant opened in Zurich in Switzerland. And then more, and then there was wine. What kind of wine? Wine in bottles.

Oh, I drink mine out of a box. And then coffee shops and then ice cream and then hotels. But then I think now the ice cream's owned by someone different. Right. By the looks of it. But all the same brand

and still working together on some tie and I don't know. So I've just gone to, because this is the other thing, whenever a hotel gets mentioned on the news, I don't know what one it is.

I'm always like, what hotel is it? And Fletch knows exactly like, it'll be like the Auckland something. So if you tell. I've got no idea. I knew where all of the... MIQs were.

MIQs were. Because I lived by them. Yeah. And this was an MIQ hotel and then that's why, I think that's why they've rebranded. So I just went to Graham McHugh at Auckland.com

and it says, we've transformed into Movenpick Hotel Auckland, steeped in Swiss tradition. Swiss tradition. I love a Swiss tradition. Yet unequivocally modern. Blah, blah, blah.

Discover Movenpick. I still don't know which hotel. They've got a 24. You know it's right at the bottom of Queen Street where the new mall is over from that? That one. Where like R.M. Williams. Opposite H&M.

Opposite H&M. Opposite H&M. Opposite H&M. Yeah, there was always the big fence there when it was an isolation. That looked like an alright one to get

for an isolation hotel. Yeah, definitely. Great views and such. Yeah. Okay, well they've rebranded and they've got a 24 hour Sunday shop. That sounds pretty good.

Yeah. Which actually is going to be great after we finish in the viaduct and you can just, instead of getting into a taxi, get a sundae. I can get a sundae. In a discount room. That was empty anyway. Oh my god, yes. A discount room

in a sundae. It'd be cheaper than that taxi they charged you for that time. $170. It probably might be. Top six ice creams that also need their own hotels. Number six, goody goodgoody gumdrops. No real colour scheme. Hard to pinpoint exactly what the flavour is.

You're mostly there for the lollies. All the chairs in your room could be like beanbags. Like beanbags. Yeah, shaped like goody-goody gumdrops. Or poofs. Ottomans. Yes. Yeah, no real.

You're not sure which one's the bed. The flavour is... Bubblegum. Yeah. But why is bubblegum that greeny teal? To me, bubblegum should be pink. That would be a hideous colour scheme. The whole thing smells like someone's just walking through the halls

constantly vaping bubblegum flavoured vape. Yes. Yes. It's a hotel and a half. Number five on the list of the top six ice creams that need their own hotel. Vanilla. Very, very plain. Your mum will love it.

Yes. Oh, God. It's more of a sort of side of State Highway 1, you know, pull in for a night. The vanilla motel. Yeah. The vanilla in. Yeah, the vanilla in. The vanilla in. And they've got sky in a sparkle. Oh, and they'll let you know Vanilla Motel. Yeah. The Vanilla Rinna. The Vanilla Rinna. The Vanilla Rinna.

And they've got Sky and a Sparple. Oh, and they'll let you know on the sign outside. Yeah. But then the Sparple's out of order. And the old couple that run it are just grumpy pricks. Yeah. Why are they in hospitality? Because they hate people.

They've got no personality. No. Number four on the list of the top six ice creams that need their own hotel, French Vanilla. It's like vanilla, but it's got French accents. Yeah, they do croissants in the morning instead of omelettes. They'll do a breakfast croissant. Yeah.

And there's pictures of like the Eiffel Tower. Nice. And the Triomphe. And the foyer. But other than that, it's exactly the same. Yeah, it's Murray from Timaru,

but he says bonjour when you walk in and that's it. Bonjour. Bonjour. Bonjour. Bonjour. Bonjour. Bonjour.

Bonjour. Number three on the list of the top six ice creams that need their own hotel, Memphis Meltdown Grandma's Gooey Raspberry. Oh, my God. God, imagine working on reception and having to answer the phone to that all day. Yeah, hello, Memphis Meltdown Grandma's Gooey Raspberry.

How may I direct your call? This is Grandma speaking. Sorry, I wanted the Gooey Raspberry. How may I direct your call? This is Grandma speaking. Sorry, I wanted the Gooey Caramel. Oh, you want... They're on the... Right city, wrong... Other side of town. Memphis Mountdown.

Yeah. You're after Memphis Mountdown Gooey Caramel. This is Grandma's Gooey Raspberry. Sorry about that. That's okay. Bye. That was just... I'd already hung up. It was just a fun ad, and it was fun to say Grandma's Goo's okay. Bye. That was just a... I'd already hung up.

It was just a fun ad, and it was fun to say, Grandma's gooey raspberry. Yeah. Number two on the list of the top six ice creams that need their own hotel, Much More Awesome Foursome. This is the Much More ice cream, and they've got four flavors in one tub. It's like Neapolitan, except they're good flavors. Oh, yeah.

And it's in squares. I just saw this. I was just telling Hayley that that Goody Goody Gumdrops that much more do, whatever they call theirs. Groovy Gumdrops. I think that's better than the Tip Top. It's a controversial call. It's a controversial call. I think it's better. Now, I'm Tip Top through and through, but I have not tried

the Awesome Foursome Goody Gumdrops. Well, pick up one on the way home. No, that's not what I'm doing at the moment. Someone messaged in saying a couple of years ago you were talking about how they should just sell the goody gumdrops lollies as lollies. Yes. Rainbow Confectionery in Oamaru made the lollies for goody gumdrops and they sell bags of seconds.

Now, how would there be a second? I want some. When they sometimes look a little bit mad. Yeah, they're a little bit... Put them in ice cream. No one's like... Maybe they drop them on the floor. Getting one in their mouth, putting it in their finger and be like,

not quite up to standard. I reckon they'll just, you know, drop some on the floor, they'll pick them up, giving them a... A blow. Give them a bit of a blow and then put them in a baggie. Okay, well, next summer in Dunedin for work, maybe we need to see her drive up. Yeah, cook drive.

Could we do that? Could we drive down from Christchurch or drive up from Dunedin? It's kind of in the middle. I think we should add an extra day. Yeah.

I think we should add a day. Add a day onto proceedings. So, yeah, the much more awesome foursome hotel room. Lots of flavours, no questions asked and Fletch is someone

who's had a foursome in a hotel. What more can you tell us about this? This has never happened. Good that it's not your sheets. Good that they're not your sheets. You don't care about the neighbours because you're checking out the next day. No, you're checking out the next day.

You're just hoping not to have eye contact with them in the hallway. This is slander. One of you goes down for refreshments. They've got the big walk-in showers. Plenty of room for four. Get my lawyer on the phone. Get my property lawyer on the phone. Do they do slander?

Get my property lawyer. Can you get the person that looks over limb reports on the phone, please? I'm in trouble. I've got a defamation case against my workmate. And number one on the list of the top six ice creams that need their own hotel, Duck Island ice cream. It's posh. It's a little costly.

The rooms are small, but dang, girl, treat yourself. Do you have to line up for half an hour to get it? Oh, yeah, if you're getting it in a cone, you do. If you're getting a little tub-tub, take one with you. That is today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. So in the United States, and I don't actually know how this is affecting the rest of the world,

but there's a major baby formula shortage. Oh, is that good for us? We make a lot of baby formula shortage. Our biggest market would be like Asia, wouldn't it? Yes, massive market. Massive market. Well, apparently there's a number of reasons why. One was COVID affecting domestic supply of formula. That's interesting.

Da-da-da-da-da. Yeah, I'm not quite sure how it works. And then another was that there's just three big companies in the States controlling the formula market. Right. So when one kind of suffers as a result of whatever, be it COVID or something else. Slow on.

Everything kind of turns as a result of whatever, be it COVID or something else. Slow on. Everything kind of turns to crap. And obviously, like, people use formula for a number of reasons, some of them because they can't breastfeed, some because they don't want to, and some because it actually works better for the baby. And I've been seeing some horrible things of babies that are, like, having allergic reactions because they can't get the only formula that works for them.

That's what they say if you're going to, man, it's crazy. I've forgotten all this, having older children. But yeah, when you transition from like newborn formula to toddler or infant formula, you've got to slowly do it. You make like a mix because if you straight change it, it's a really upsetting test. Oh yeah, that's how I got my cat onto different biscuits. A slow integration of the new biscuits.

We can relate to this as well. Through cats. Hey, however you can relate, you now know how it works. And you know how sensitive the tum-tum is. The tum-tum of any small thing. Very sensitive. So, I mean, there's always been breast milk banks where people can donate breast milk. So if you're a breastfeeding woman or whatever, you can donate to these breast milk banks.

But apparently now they are like, women are cranking it up and they absolutely just sit in there pumping all day and either donating or selling their breast milk for people to buy or to go to these breast milk banks people to buy. Oh, wow. Or to go to these breast milk banks and get them. And I actually saw this because there's an article of a woman who's got like 120 litres in her freezer that she's like taking to the breast milk bank.

And then I saw this on my… She's a bloody top producing Frisian. You want to know? This is what they're doing. She's going to need a Fonterra truck to get all that to the bank. Is that how it works? So like it's just like it's just there on demand. And if. Yeah, different producers, right?

Some people struggle, don't produce anything. It's not for them, as you say, and rely on formula. And they're so lucky they can rely on formula because prior to that... You'd have like wet nurses. Yeah. Well, this is effectively a wet nurse. Yeah, but not straight on the boob. Can any milk work?

No. Would the baby be like, ooh, this is yuck? Yeah, I don't like Sandra's milk. I'm more of a Cathy gal. Yeah. Don't I. Because I saw this. I follow a girl who's on Instagram. I've followed her for years and she's just had a baby. And like, yeah, her baby doesn't drink a lot or need a lot and

she makes a lot. So her freezer is like, they just label them up and they put your name and all this and then you have a profile. So if it was me, you'd have a profile saying like my health and all this kind of stuff and then they donate them and then the baby's going to have a little milk. Wow.

Well, I just googled New Zealand infant formula export in 2020 was $1.8 billion New Zealand dollars. We're in the wrong industry. We should start making this. How do we make that? Breast milk. Grind up some stuff. Oh, formula.

No, no, formula is cows and there's goat milk formula. Okay. So we've got to get some cows. For people with a lactose intolerance, yeah, we've got to get some cows. We've milk formula. Okay. So we've got to get some cows. For people with a lactose intolerance, yeah, we've got to get some cows. We've got to get some cows. We've got to get some goats. I've got two goats. Well, one of them's a man goat.

Can we use man goat milk? No, no, no. No, you can't have man milk. No, no, no, no, no. It's not going to be good for anybody. But just looking like we're one of the big, like, per capita, we're going to be the big player in the market. The EU produces more than us and China and then

Southeast Asia. But then maybe they're making formula with the product we export to them. Because when I think of Southeast Asia, I don't think dairy cows. No. No. Maybe we're sending them the dairy element. And then they're turning it into formula. I think vodka buckets.

Yeah, that's what I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think delicious, long, hour-long massages. Yeah, that are $5. Yes. I think of it's 30 degrees, I'm sweating, but for some reason I'm eating a spicy tom yum soup. And it feels right.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Today, Taco Tuesday, officially. And great news when it comes to Mexican food. Two great inventions. Phenomenal inventions. I would like to highlight now. Students at the Johns Hopkins University have invented burrito tape. Edible burrito tape.

So that your burrito doesn't fall apart. Yeah, so I'm just showing you a picture there. Oh, it looks... Oh, I thought you just meant... When you told me about this before. Like, you know the fruit for yonks? Yeah. Like that, except you'd eat it and it would taste like...

Tortilla. But that's got an adhesive property. Yeah, but also it's like a fruit for yonks or a roll-up kind of look. Is it flavoured? But it sticks. Yeah, so they do. They come in different flavours.

The students say their invention was inspired by burritos that frequently busted out of their titty yards. They've overstuffed them. Onto their laps. You've got to stuff a burrito. You've got to stuff a burrito. Don't stuff a taco. No, no, no, don't be a fool.

But stuff a burrito. Because you can always go back for more tacos. Yeah. So firstly, they say they learnt about the science around tape and different adhesives, and they work to find edible counterparts. And they say that it's like a food-grade fibrous scaffold is what they've described it as.

Food-grade fibrous scaffold. Sounds like asbestos to me. They're not saying what's in it, because they're saying it's so good that they want described it as. But they're not saying... Food, bread, fiber, scaffold. Sounds like asbestos to me. They're not saying what's in it because they're saying it's so good that they want to patent it. They should. And that's kind of the idea. So they've got a little Instagram and Facebook page,

but it hasn't really taken off because I guess they're waiting until... I want to place an order. We had wraps last night, not burritos, but just sort of wraps. And I always do the pan seal. you know, like you do a little roll and then you give it a little kiss in the pan. Does that make it hard though?

Yeah, a little bit of a crunch, a little crunch on the wrap. That's your chimichangas. That's the way you go, your chimichangas. I don't deep fry it, but yeah, shallow, shallow fry. Well, apparently the tape will come in flavours guacamole, salsa and sour cream. No cheese flavour yet. Doesn't say cheese, no.

Hard to get an artificial cheese flavour though. I learnt that when I tried to be a vegan for a week. Nutritional yeast? Don't try to tell me that's cheesy. It's got, I mean, in addition to cheese. Yeah, fantastic. The other great invention, and I'm, and I'm going to look on AliExpress to see if these are on here.

No, no, no. Don't do this with your AliExpress crap purchases. So this guy, his username is RightCoastGuy. Yeah. His name is Matty Benedito. He has a YouTube channel and he makes videos where he invents fake products. So it's not even on. The thing is, once you've invented it, it's no longer a fake product,

because he actually makes these things. Yeah, this is a great product. Patented them. Patented it. Well, he's made some other inventions. One of them is a cup holder that attaches to your shoe so you can sit with your legs crossed in public and have a cup holder to put your coffee in.

That's great, except never move your leg. No, no, no, don't get a fright. One of his other inventions was the best way to butter corn. Oh, yeah. Because you have a corn cob, but with a knife it's hard. He said the hand is the best thing to butter the corn. So he's invented a prosthetic hand and you put a knob of butter in it and then you like run the corn cob up and down up and down back and forth back and forth

to butter his corners yeah he's got the reverse swear jar okay where um you put in a coin and it prints you out a swear word oh okay so you can get creative. But it's his burrito bumper that's got everybody talking. Eating a burrito, I feel an overstuffed taco falls into the same category. Yep. A lot falls. Yeah. And in the end, it's on your plate. Yeah.

And you look at it and you, like, scrape it into your hand and push it in your mouth. And after you do, like, four or five tacos on Taco Taco Chesa, you've got enough for a whole new taco. So that's effectively what he's invented. A funnel with a giant hole on the bottom and underneath that a half round bed.

You sit your soft shell taco in there. You eat over this thing. It all falls out of your mouth, out of the burrito, into that. And at the end, you get to eat the leftovers

in a taco. And it'll be better because it'll be all mixed up. Yeah. You know, rather than layers, it'll be all mixed up. Yeah. You know, rather than layers, it'll be all mixed up. Yeah. Yum. Yeah.

And I'm like, yeah. Such a good idea. Such a great idea. Should we get tacos? I would 100% do a breakfast burrito. Who does tacos at 5 to 7 a.m.? Well, you can do breakfast burritos at some places. Oh, yeah.

That's probably your closest. All right, I'll take it. Play ZM's Fletch Vornanalee. Play ZM. Now Fletch, I know you're a huge fan, so don't get too excited when I'm talking of James Corden. Look, he's beside himself. You absolutely love the guy. I don't know why, but I just cannot

stand James Corden. I always really enjoyed him until you just hear too many bloody rumours, don't you, about the fact that he's a bit of a I don't like how he'd have guests on, but then wouldn't let them be the stars. Oh, yeah, right, right, right. Like if he did singing with Ariana Grande, he always had to be like...

Yeah. I don't know. I'm definitely not saying I could do a better job because he can sing. He's a good singer. He's a good singer. He was in Cats too. Yeah, that's why in Cats too. Yeah,

that's why we hate him. No, I hated him before that. Oh, okay. You were pre-Cats hate. Well, anyway,

he was on a show, the Late Late show. Yeah. Late Late. And they were talking about the fact that in the moment, LA residents are being asked

to cut the amount of time they spend in the shower because of water shortage. Yeah, like their dams and lakes are like dry. Always. Always shower because of water shortage. Yeah, like their dams and lakes are like dry. Always. America's a desert.

So they were asked to cut down on showering. They were talking about this on a show and he was like oh, I'm in and out in like three or four minutes which is great, like quick shower. And then they were like, oh yeah, because you don't use soap. He's like, yeah, I use soap of course, but I don't wash my hair. I wash it every two months. And he's like, yeah, I use soap, of course, but I don't wash my hair. I wash it every two months.

And he's almost like, ew. That's gross. Because you've got to think as well, how often does he do a show? Five nights a week. Five nights a week. He'd be getting it done, which means he's adding product and dry shampoo, obviously,

so it doesn't look like a greasy mop. Yeah. And then not washing it for two months. Yeah, I mean, I don't have... Even the LA smog as well. Yeah. I mean, when I did have hair, I'd wash it all the time. I mean, men definitely don't have to wash it.

If they've got short hair, you don't have to wash it as often as, like, if you had long hair. But every two months, it would be so stinky. It would be stink. And even though they'll be adding all sorts of perfumed dry shampoos and sprays and the likes, it'll all be gathering.

His pillow must be a nightmare. It must be a scene. His wife must be snuggling in. Yeah, because that's, I remember when I had acne and everyone would be like, are you changing your pillowcase? And you're like, don't come at me about my pillowcases. It's more than that.

But they were like, because if the oils of your hair rub onto the pillowcase and then you rub your face onto that. So it must be dirty. Even having a beard, you've got to shampoo and condition it a couple of times a week. Because otherwise, yeah, the smell. A friend of mine grew a beard once and then he showed it off. I was like, oh, where'd your beard go? He's like, oh, I don't know how you put up with the smell.

I'm like, what? We're washing it? He's like, with what? I'm like, shampoo and conditioner. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, I didn't even think of that. I was like, oh my God.

That's nasty. That's nasty. You've got to wash it. Anyway, a lot of people coming on the line being like, ooh, that's gross. Even hairdressers are saying like, it's actually, it's not good for you to like let that build up like that. Especially someone like him who works on TV and he has his hair done all the time. Or these products.

You'd think they would tell us. Because you hear about people who go back and don't wash their hair and let the natural oils and stuff, but they're probably not also getting their hair styled, blow dried, full of product every night for TV. I remember watching this because I'm always searching for the next big hair thing. I remember watching a YouTuber, a female YouTuber with long hair,

go, I'm going to try out this theory of if you don't wash your hair for long enough, it starts to self-cleanse. And about two months in, she just looked like a saggy sack of oil and was like, well, I'm going to go wash my hair. And that was it. That was the experiment. She gave it a go. Yeah.

Anyway, but I've been reading all these comments about everyone being like, oh, this is so gross. It's so manky. You're so gross. And I want to hear how gross you are. Do you have a gross, maybe a grooming habit that you will admit to? No one is going to call up and admit they've got a gross habit. I want to.

I want to. I want to hear whether you don't, maybe you shower once a week and maybe you've got a gross habit. I want to. I want to. I want to hear whether you don't, maybe you shower once a week and maybe you've got a valid point for why you do that or maybe you wear the same undies every day for a few days. Some people do undies two days in a row. I personally don't. No, no, no, no, no. After a gym, it's showering new undies.

Oh my God. You could not wear the same undies after the gym. No. Sometimes they're binners. You've got to put them in a bin. Maybe some people need a solid bleaching. Maybe some people do. Yeah, well, if you do, can you admit it on air?

You can call up anonymously or text anonymously. We won't say your name. Okay, if you've got a gross habit. Maybe you're a nose picker and wiper or eater. Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm a nose picker. But again, no one's going to ring up and wiper or eater. Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm a nose picker. But again, no one's going to

ring up and admit to that. I just admitted it. I pick my nose to smithereens. I love getting in there. Especially in the car. Yeah, great place for it. Oh, flickety doodah

everywhere. 0800 dials at M is the number. You can text 9696. What gross habit will you admit to? Maybe you want to dob in your partner.

Oh, yeah. We'll take some dobbing. Yeah. We'll take dobbing. Because I think people are more likely to dob their partner for their gross habit will you admit to? Maybe you want to dob in your partner. Oh, yeah, we'll take some dobbings. Yeah. We'll take dobbings. Because I think people are more likely to dob their partner for their gross habit or an ex. Or you can do the quote-unquote, my friend does this. But we know it's you.

We know it's you. But we know it's you. It's you. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Right now, though, and Hayley, I just want to remind you that you asked for this. Anna's reading the text messages that they come and do. These are disgusting.

I asked, I want to know your gross habits that you'll admit to on radio because James Corden admitted on his show that he only washes his hair once every two months. And people are like, that's pretty gross. That's gross. Stinky and manky. Very gross.

So we want to know what you, how gross are you? All right, let's start with Erin. Erin, what gross habit will you admit to? Okay, this is really bad. It's not something I do to myself. It's something I do to my partner. Okay. I sort of like scratch around in his beard

until I can feel like a lump or a pimple or something and then I start picking and squeezing it. Like a monkey? In his beard, so... Yeah, like in his beard around his face. Like I start feeling like maybe an ingrown hair or I don't know, something. Is it the unseen?

Is it the hunt with the fingers that excites you compared to just popping an ordinary pimple? Oh, I don't know. I just start sort of like, I don't know, I just start sort of massaging his face. Just rummaging. You know, and rub it, and then I'm like, oh, what's that? But like when you're looking for a flea on the cat.

Yeah, yeah, like a little monkey, and then you see it, and you pull something out of the bed, and you're like, and then you eat it, and then you get back in, and you have little nib and then you eat it and then you get back in and you have little nibbles. Yeah, I do not put my hands near my back, to clarify. I bet it would feel nice. I'm going to say it is gross, Erin, but I bet it would feel nice for him. Erin, thanks for your call. Anonymous, good morning.

Good start. Good morning. Good morning. What's the gross habit you'll admit to? So I had this ex-boyfriend where he didn't, I don't think he showered properly. So, you know, when it just comes down to a certain moment, you just, you kind of have to say no and say, hey, you kind of smell.

I don't really want to get down to that. Jump in the shower and give it a thorough wash. You're talking about the junk. Oh, well, yeah, I am talking about the junk, unfortunately, because I just don't know how else to explain it,

but I guess that's the perfect way to put it. Well, that's terrible. No wonder this is your ex-boyfriend. I think if junk's in a bad way, you call it trash. It changes junk to trash. Get in the shower

and clean the trash. It's really dirty. Yeah wow Get in the shower And clean the trash Yeah wow Oh yuck Private Polish that trash Yeah Make it junk Make it junk again

Anonymous Seek you some messages in Make genitals junk again Yeah yeah yeah Are you going to make a hat Are you going to make a red hat So you can make genitals junk again Probably not

Someone said I've got really curly hair I wash it with conditioner No shampoo Once a fortnight. I wash it with conditioner, no shampoo, once a fortnight. If I wash it too often, the curls go flat.

It needs a bit of oil to keep the ringlets. Yeah, Aaron doesn't, Aaron conditions more than shampoo because conditioner dries it all out and goes crazy. Shampoo does. Yeah. Yes, but conditioner keeps it.

Yes, that's right. There's some of these, I think I'll once again play my podcast only card where we will record a special end of podcast because the thing about broadcasting on the radio is that we have to adhere to a set of rules set forth by the government, but the internet's the wild west for rules, as you're well aware.

So maybe on the end of the podcast we can put some of these because some of them are just too filthy. Maybe one made me gag. You can do anything on a podcast. Have we got more trashy junk? No. No. No.

No. No. No. He's literally sifting through. There's a lot that we can't read out. Also, my brother rubs between his toes with his finger and then sniffs it. He doesn't realise he's doing it and does it in front of anyone.

He's just like when he's watching TV, he just subconsciously starts... Mindlessly... Monitoring his... His foot health. Okay. At least he's on top of his foot health. Yeah. Yeah, you've got to look after the tootsies.

No athlete's foot there. No. Well, I hope no is putting it on his face. Look at you sifting through to see what's able to be broadcast. I'm just thinking, you know, like it's breakfast time as well Yeah, I know, yeah People are eating things they shouldn't be eating People are eating their sloppy porridge

Yeah, they don't want to hear about People's sloppy porridge Sloppy porridge I guess we'd say this one because it's so unusual My brother-in-law picks his nose and then offers it to the dog Oh, don't bring the dog into this. Poor dog. He doesn't know that that's your bug.

The dog doesn't know that that's not done. What's wrong with people? So the rest of it will be a podcast only. At the very end of the podcast, there'll be a disclaimer and trigger warning. I want grot. You'll get your grot because you'll be there when we record

the special podcast segment. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. A gaggle, I believe it's a gaggle, a gaggle of marriage therapists have come together to share the number one complaint they get from women about their

spouses. Right. And I didn't really, I didn't, maybe I didn't predict this, but it is wives often, quote, whine about needing to tell their husbands to do mundane household chores. Wait, so who told the therapist this is a problem? The women, the wives. Ah, okay. In this heterosexual setting.

Because I would also say to a therapist, they ask me to do something and I say, yeah, it'll get done. And then I constantly tell for the next three hours at five-minute intervals that it still needs to be done. And I know it needs to be done. But why don't you just do it? It'll be done when it's done. Why don't you just do it?

When I'm asking for you to do it. If you want it done right now, you probably do it. But my priority isn't that right now. It will get done. And it's not like I'm diffusing a bomb and I'm just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll do it soon. And it's ticking down for 59 seconds. You're asking me to do something that is not at all time sensitive.

Or maybe it's time sensitive to them and this is where the argument starts. All the whinging and the effort that you've made to remind Vaughn about the task, you could have just done it. So if we played out that way, that the wives don't whinge and they just do everything so they don't ask. Well, that's a good idea. So then what are you doing? What are you doing?

I'm doing what I want to do. This is my time. I'll get it done. So they say that the division... I mean, if you want to list the jobs that I'll demand of you immediately, feel free. I agree, it should be tip for tat. I think this is a very classic, maybe kind of old-fashioned setup.

Yeah. But they say the division of household duties falls into two categories of responsibility, active and passive. So active would be like you looking around and being like, what needs to be done? I'm going to do that without having to be asked. Passive responsibility is being available to help, but waiting for somebody to tell you what needs to be done.

Right. And then they're like, my wife, she's always nagging. Because you're like, no, I'm not nagging. I'm asking you to do something because you're not taking an active role in the division of our household chores. The robot vacuum cleaner took care of this. vacuuming is a good example of people have different levels

of when vacuuming needs doing. Oh yeah, I can put up with a little speck or two on the carpet. I can have some dust. Especially if I know it's likely to get more immediately after the vacuuming's done. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Yes, yeah, yeah, more immediately after the vacuuming's done. Yeah.

Do you know what I mean? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No point vacuuming now if I know in the next few hours or half a day something else is going to add more to it. Yeah. Yeah, don't vacuum the kitchen if you haven't cooked dinner yet. Exactly. There's going to be rice everywhere.

That sort of thing. And crumbs and whatnot. Yeah, wait until afterwards and do it after that. But if you're so upset about that, just go and do it now. Yeah. Yeah. That line, remember the Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Aniston movie, The Breakup? I want you to want to do it?

Yes. Yeah. She's like, can you do the dishes? He's like, yeah. And then he keeps putting it off and she's like, don't you want to do the dishes? And he's like, nobody wants to do the dishes. Yeah. Dishes aren't something anybody wants.

It's a have to and it doesn't have to right now. And this argument they have, it's so beautiful. And she's like, I want you to want to do it. And he's like, I will never want to do the dishes. Yeah. I mean, the only time I'll like insist on a time, you know, like a time for things to be done. As if it's in the way of me doing something else that serves the both of us.

So say the kitchen has dishes that are there from lunch. Yep. And I've cooked lunch and you're on dishes for lunch. And I'm about to cook dinner and the dishes from lunch aren't done. I'll go, can we do the dishes now because I'm going to cook dinner. And that's getting in the way of me providing you with a lovely meal. Yeah, meal, yes. Okay, that's fair enough.

You can do them now because... They need to be done before I can... I'm not doing lunch and lunch dishes, then cooking dinner. And then you just do dinner dishes. That's not how this transaction's going down. So, I mean, if all of these... Is that the most common complaint? Yeah.

That's the most common complaint. Are there any others that these... No, they're just looking at the number one thing that they hear the most. And I go, if this is the number one thing that you were complaining about in your relationship, I reckon you're doing pretty well. Yeah. I reckon you're in a good place and we could just choose to let some of these things go. You could probably save some counselling, some relationship counselling money by just

doing the dishes. Yeah, just doing... Or why don't you get a dishwasher and an automatic vacuum cleaner? Because all the amount of money you'll spend on therapy will equate to that amount, and then voila, no more problem. We solved it. Therapy's easy. Tip done.

Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley. Fletchford and Hayley, silly little silly that the silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole. Do you say bless you when a stranger sneezes? Always. I try to, but sometimes I forget. That's because it's rubbish, isn't it? The most popular theory of saying bless you when someone sneezes

originated in Rome in the times of the bubonic plague. Okay. Yeah, that's why I say it. Sneezing is one of the plague's main symptoms, and it was believed that Pope Gregory I suggested a tiny prayer in the form of saying God bless you after a sneeze would protect the person from death. Well, that didn't work. It didn't work, did it?

Millions died. Certainly hasn't protected us from other viruses and plagues, has it? No. Gesundheit. So again, I hate it when people say it. You can't pray the virus away. I'm just like, stop it. It's so stupid.

Bless you. Like, it really gets me so wound up. You hate it. You need to relax. You're in my thoughts and prayers. I'm going to pray for you. I think you need thoughts and prayers. You need some thoughts and prayers. I'll be praying for you. Can our listeners see

thoughts and prayers? If anybody is dropping a quick prayer to JC, the big fella, whoever you pray to, just keep fletching your prayers. Yeah. Wow. A lady told me once she was going to pray fella, whoever you pray to, just keep fletching your prayers. Yeah. Wow, yeah. A lady told me once she was going to pray

for me. Pray for me? Don't waste your time. I'm already in his good graces. Oh my God. Jesus. Him, yes, that's him. Gesundheit, which is German, means health. It's just saying, basically, stay healthy. I hope you're healthy. Yeah, that's a better. Like it's just saying basically stay healthy.

I hope you're healthy. Yeah, that's a better one because it's non-religious. Gesundheit. What was the one growing up someone said it was? Because I just looked up responses to sneezing from around the world. Oh, yeah. And I remember people saying when I was growing up that the Navajo of Native American Navajo, one of their words was to stop your soul escaping your body.

And I just looked that up and that's not true. No. I'm sorry to have ruined that fun little lie we were all told as children. I thought it was when you, I remember being told when you sneeze, you go, yeah, you're so open that the devil can get in. So then. That's the bless you shield. So then you say, bless you.

Mate, you've just got to close everything. Yeah, so when you sneeze... Pop it out. Yeah, really suck it in. Pop an eye thing. You should never hold in a sneeze. No, never hold in a sneeze. If you were trying to sneeze with your eyes open,

you know how they say it's impossible? And then the moment you hear that, you're like... Your eyes pop out. That's what was always said. So what was the poll response for saying bless you? 59% of people said bless you. 41% said nah, they don't say that. Yeah, no.

Now, I want to thank... Also, don't say it to a stranger. Oh, so this is what got us onto it. Dan messaged in. Insta Dan Pritchard, because his last name's Pritchard. He's done Insta Dan rather than Instagram, and Pritchards rather than Pritchards. I like what he's done here.

I had a lot of time for a pun. I have a question if you guys are short for a silly little poll. I said bless you to a stranger when they sneeze while walking past us. My wife thinks it's crazy for me to say that to a stranger. Is it okay to say bless you when a stranger sneezes? No. And we were like, is it even, like, do people even say bless you anymore? Stop saying it is what I'm going to say.

I think it's a nice way to connect with strangers. You know I love to make connections with strangers. I bless you. Vinnie writes, now you say COVID, which is a good one to bless you when it originates. You do, actually. Which is what we have always been saying lately. Anytime anyone sniffs, sneezes, COVID. Livvy says

I did this to somebody in the showers at Les Mills. No! I was on autopilot and said bless you before I thought about it and someone laughed. I stood in the shower for an extra 10 minutes so I didn't accidentally pass them in the changing room. Yes. Emma writes, definitely not.

I find it weird and patronising when people say bless you. Especially in COVID times where you feel the need to justify a hay fever sneeze. Victoria said, I once said bless you out of habit when a person in an upstairs sneezed and I heard it through the ceiling. They told me to F off. I guess they did not want my blessing. Yes. Wow.

Bless you, if you. Bailey said, not to a stranger, maybe a friend or a colleague. Okay. Thoughts and prayers for colleagues only. Louise said, I yell gesundheit at them aggressively because it's health in German and yelling

health in German at someone is fun. Okay, yeah. Sharon said, it's far too late in life to even begin to start blessing me. So no, I wouldn't say it

to a stranger. Straight to hell. Yeah. So there you go. The majority of people but only slimly would say bless you to a stranger.

Keep your blessings to yourself. Yeah. But also send thoughts and prayers flex away. If you could, keep pledging your prayers.

I mean, if you're going to send them to someone who needs them. Oh, what about just could keep I mean if you're gonna Send them to someone who needs them What about just best wishes No I don't need anyone's best wishes I'm fine Thoughts and prayers I want to

No, no, no. I don't smoke, by the way. Okay, can I just get a dollar mixture, please? The dollar mixture of cigarettes? No, no, no, just of the candy. Oh, yeah, you can get that. We're in 2022, so there are approximately three lollies in there. Okay, thank you very much.

How much is that? It's $1 because it's... I'll just get out my coin purse. Oh! Oh, gross! that? It's $1. I'll just get out my coin purse. Oh! Oh, gross! I'll just get out some money. Oh my God. I thank you very much.

Thank you very much, sir. I'm going to go enjoy this $1 mix. That's right, because Hayley has been sent a frog coin purse, which Vaughan now has on the live social media stream. Oh my God, this is great content, guys. Our social media is popping off. This is a bit of a flashback.

We did a phone a while ago. When were you given a gift that you just hated? Or when did someone give you something that you were like, ooh, oh my God. And one of our listeners called up and they were given a taxidermied frog coin purse. Jared, this would make a wickedidermied frog coin purse. Jared, this would make a wicked Dungeons and Dragons dice bag. Ew, yuck.

It should be thrown away. When this lovely listener called up, I was like, oh my god, this sounds right up my alley. She was like, I hate it. I'm going to send it to you. You've got a few taxidermied things, don't you? A taxidermied thing. So the frog, for those that can't see the live stream,

it's like the head of the frog. Yeah. But then the body has been made into like an oval purse with a zip on it. A coin purse, yeah. Well, it's just its legs have been taken off, right? You can see in the front where the legs have been stitched. Stitched shut. Here's where you can see the legs have been stitched off.

You could get quite a few coins in that. I honestly love this so much. Imagine this would be perfect for, like, tampons. Yes, your friends are like, I've been caught short. You don't have a tampon, do you? Oh, I do have a tampon. Hang on, babe. Ooh, nobody's taking a tampon.

Even if it's in a seal. Yeah. They're not taking a tampon from that. It'd be good for little, like, mints, chewing gum, coins, anything. What are people saying on the live stream? Are they just disgusted? That's a little bit gross. Let me load up some comments.

Oh, my God, was that a real frog? My friend is watching the live stream in Dubai, and he said, Hayley, that is awful. It is awful. Because you can see the eyes still. And he's grumpy. He's a grumpy frog. He doesn't like giving up his money and his coins.

He does. He looks like he's really like, you're not going to my bum to get another coin, are you? Ouch. Wow. Anyway, thank you to our lovely listener who sent this to me. I will cherish it.

It looks a little snaky. It's got a real reptile. It's hideous, isn't it? Oh my God, you can see it's like little skin detail. Is that a bio, like have they bought this into New Zealand illegally?

Yes, definitely, because their father, from memory, their father brought this home from an overseas trip, and she was like, ew. Okay, but yeah. Oh, no, don't get that. The government can't come and take this away from me, can they? I think they're going to come and put it in a furnace. Cut the live stream.

Cut the live stream. Cut the live stream. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. ZM's Retro Petrol Time Machine. ZM's Retro Petrol Time Machine. Good morning, Gemma. How are you?

Oh, I'm great. How are you guys? Good, good. Welcome to the... Well, I mean, Mercury's in retrograde, so... Sorry. Yeah, we're feeling a little bit sluggish. As good as can be expected,

given this planetary issue. Well, welcome to our retro petrol time machine. It's all thanks to Gal, fueling your mission all year round. You can search Gal on Facebook to hear about discount days and prizes. Now, today, a tank of petrol, the average tank will cost you $143.

It's just going up and up and up and up. It is, it is. So we're going to go back in time and see what you would have actually paid. 1976. Oh! Bloody Ebba. 1974. Bloody Abba, how dare you.

How dare you, sir. Well, 1976, your tank would have cost you in 1976, Gemma, $13. Far out. Holy crap. Didn't we do 1974 yesterday? Yes. And it was $7. Yeah. So you're telling me in two years it went from $7 to $16? Holy crap. Didn't we do 1974 yesterday? Yes. And it was $7. Yeah.

So you're telling me in two years it went from $7 to $16. That must have been shocking at the time. It would have been at the time. Yeah, well, nothing compared to today. But yeah, we're going to top up the rest. $130 is yours, Gemma. Well done. Amazing.

Thank you so much. Congratulations. But we do have a chance now to double or nothing. Double or nothing. You got Michael Bublé to actually come and do that jingle for us. He did, he did. Now, $260, that's double. That is double of $130.

You're a clever boy there, Carl Fletcher. To win that much, all you've got to do is answer a question from 1976. And I think this is an easy question. Gemma, were you alive in 1976? Hell no. No. Don't say it like that. What do you reckon? I don't think I was even a twinkle.

Not even a twinkle. Do you want to go double or nothing? Or do you want to take your 130? Double or nothing. Classy attitude. Okay, here is your question from 1976. Which major fast food restaurant first appeared in 1976? McDonald's. Ah!

Whoa! Yay! We didn't even finish the question. It was in Porirua. It was. Congratulations. We wouldn't dare have said one of the other ones because they're our dear friends and show sponsors.

Exactly. Gemma, congratulations. $260. Congratulations with our retro petrol time machine. All thanks to Gal. And another chance for you to win free fuel is coming up with Georgia at midday, Brian Clint as well at five o'clock.

And what are their names? You've actually already mentioned a sibling name, Trudy. Oh, get rid of that. So that's where that was coming from within you. And another sister, Rowena. Rowena! That's a spanner

in the works, isn't it? I don't think you've ever said the name Rowena. Trudy, Rowena. And Patsy. Patsy fits in there, doesn't it?. Trudy, Rowena. And Patsy. Patsy fits in there, doesn't she? Actually, all Trudy wants me to do is take some names off my list. Because she's got a Trudy. I've got a couple here that are the Turs.

Yeah, she's not going to go Trudy, Tracy, and Trish. Or will she? Oh, I reckon you're being a little player here, Millie Elder Holmes. It's not Millie Elder Holmes. We don't know that. It's that pesky Millie Elder Holmes. She didn't trick us. Or will she?

She's playing with you, Vaughn. She's got you in the back. I'm going to save them for last if I get to the end of my list and I don't have it. Oh, okay. That's where I'm going to put them because I don't want to waste them early because who's going to call a kid that, it that's where I'm going to put them because I don't want to waste them early because who's going to call a kid that

Bonus round. While you're on the phone, I'll have a go at guessing your dad's name. You've triggered the bonus round. One guess. One shot at dad's name to win another $100. It's Ken. That's absolutely Ken. Ken and Trace.

Tracey and Ken. Oh, yeah. It does ride rails. But then I feel like a Paul or a John. Yeah, but you always say that's the key to the dad. Because dads are always, there's only 10 different dad names. Yeah, there's dad's names are much more limited than mum's names. Because you don't want to hear these. There's a smaller Paul.

You go in Ken. I'm telling you. It want to hear this. There's a smaller Paul. You go in Ken. I'm telling you. It's too out there. It's too out there. Ken, yeah. Ken. Like Kenneth. It's not out there.

You're going to lock in Rob? Let's lock in Rob. Millie, what is your dad's name? I actually had a John. Oh. Oh, I told you.

You always do the Beatles. You always say Paul, John. I would say like 80% of the time we've done this, John's been the dad's name. Yeah. You should just lock in John. It just feels like a safe bet. We should just always say John. It just feels like a safe bet john robert oh my god we got his middle name so close well that's got to count for 50 bucks come on it's 100 bucks in the first name i reckon we go a hundred for mom's name that's the rule

but if i get dad's middle name... Look at Anna. Look at her indicative in her 90s face. She doesn't want to be missing out. JR. Oh, his initials are JR. She's not cool. You've missed out on the Hyundai, Millie, but unfortunately you still get the $100. Yeah, you got your mum's name. Thank you, and you've made my daughter's

I have board a plane Oh a triple seven A 787 Dreamliner Oh lovely Thank you What were you up to? Well this time I will be

Telling You're going to John Travolta's house Frederic Frederico, my pilot, to take me to Los Angeles, California. Right, okay. Why does your plane have all the New Zealand paint on it? Because I bought it secondhand. Oh, okay. It's like, you know, every now and then you'll see a van on the road

and it's an old Courier Post van and they've just haphazardly ripped the stickers off but you can still tell it was Courier Post. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because A, it's yellow and B, they've like just haphazardly ripped the stickers off but you can still tell it was courier because a it's yellow and b it's got the sticker juice on it the sticker juice i don't have any i don't have a 787's worth of dissolve it to take all the air new zealand livery off so i'm leaving it on until i can solve that yeah and you get to go to disneyland yes to celebrate star wars day star wars celebration day you've maybe got some interviews lined up for the show. Going to panels, making a lightsaber, going to Galaxy's Edge, just having the time of my life.

It's dreams come true stuff. Is it a work trip? Is it a work trip? It's business. And now with the pandemic, it's not over. What are we saying? It certainly isn't over. I think we're ignoring it.

With the pandemic simmering on the back element. I think there's actually a resurgence is what we're calling it at the moment. It certainly feels like it. Especially in California where you're going to, but then who cares? You'll be there. Once you're there, who cares? Yeah. A new study has found that two and three people think that bringing family

or friends on business travel is acceptable. So if you've got a work trip, people think, well, it's alright, I just bring my partner, my boyfriend, girlfriend, my husband, wife, And what do they do while you're doing the mahi? Are they just hanging out at the hotel by the pool? I guess so. Pooling it up. Shopping. Who's paying for them?

Well, I'm guessing... The individual. Yeah, the individual. You would be. Right. Yeah. Work's paying for you. You would have to pay to bring family. Well, they'd have to be very self, they'd have to be able to look after themselves because you'd be away a lot, wouldn't you? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

How have you closed all your rings on your watch already? Because he's got them down to like zero. French just got a notification, a big thing, he's closed all his rings. He's got his stand now hours at five. His exercise at five. No, because of my COVID not being able to breathe, I just want to close them so I set them to every

low. He recovered from COVID how many months ago? Like two and a half months ago? Yeah, you've been going to spin classes and shit. Don't give me this. I'll set it later so I can recover on COVID. His smart watch is telling him he's done for the day. It's 8.30. I've got to reset my goals. Please do. It's very day. It's 8.30. I've got to reset my goals. Please do. It's very distracting.

It's time you faced your sedentary nature. It also made me feel terrible about myself. I know. Okay, well, I'll open up a ring. Okay, good. So when you got told that you were going to Disneyland. I asked if I'd be interested in going to Disneyland for a Star Wars celebration.

It was a silly question. Of course I'd be interested. But I was like, yes. And then I was like, uh-oh. I do have responsibilities of a family. Yeah. And so then I was like, yes. And then I was like, uh-oh. Like, I do have responsibilities of a family. Yeah. And so then I was like, I have to break this to my wife. I said, I've been offered this trip to Disneyland.

And she's like, fantastic. When is it? Maybe we can sort out all going. And I shook my head and I was like, just me. It's like next month. Yeah. It's in three weeks. There's no way.

You're only going for a few days. Yeah. She looked at the price of flights and she was like, it's a bit on the expensive side. And I was like, I'm just going to have to stop you there. There's no way we can afford to do this at this short a notice right now. Yeah. You could have afterpaid.

They do afterpay now. And then I had to tell my kids. Daddy's off to Disneyland. I'm going to Disneyland. And they said, we're going to Disneyland. I said, you've misconstrued what I've said. I said, I'm going to Disneyland. And they said, we're going to Disneyland. I said, you've misconstrued what I've said. I said, I'm going to Disneyland. But do you think it's acceptable?

I think it's acceptable. It depends. I get kids more than I get partners. So we're child free, obviously, as far as I know. I've lived a wild life. What can I say? You just gave birth and forgot about it yeah I could have blacked out for that time

you never know but I've had some definite like amazing work trips like the last couple of years I've worked with Tourism New Zealand for TVNZ and the likes and gone off like jumping off bridges and going you know kayaking and all this kind of stuff and Aaron was definitely like oh I wonder

if next time I'll be able to come with you. And I was the same, like, I don't really feel like that's going to work. Because most of the time you are kind of working. So it's not like you're doing the activities together and then, yeah, you're going to have to pay for it. So you're like, well, we're not having a holiday. But then if you've got a free hotel. It's semi-important that they do come

so they see it's not just skylarking. I mean, it's skylarking, but it's skylarking. Yes. With a purpose. Aaron used to always say this when I used to travel the world with my marching team. He'd be like, oh my God, you get to go to Scotland or something. You're like, I'm marching from morning till night. Yeah.

And then lucky if I get an hour of free time. And then maybe afterwards I'll come home via Bali. But you know what I mean. Play. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Today's Factor of the Day comes to us from the International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Research

Oh, okay Legit It's got all its legits, it's got its citation You can download the citation as a secret document I will You can read the entire article The article is entitled Beauty Parlor Syndrome,

A Modern Threat to the Feminine World. Oh, okay. Put that to one side. I'd like to present to you a piece I prepared earlier. Last week, I was at the dump.

Okay. And I love going to the dump. There's a shop at the dump. West Auckland on the concourse. You can go and go to the dump, but you can go into the shop and there's just like, what is this? I love going to the dump There's a shop at the dump West Auckland on the concourse You can go and go to the dump But you can go into the shop And it's just like What is this?

I love that dump They rummage around the dump And if they see something They put it in the shop Correct If you're taking stuff to the dump Yep You can pull in there

And be like This seems too good to throw away Do you take this, that and the other? I like that Because we should be recycling more It is Zero waste It's a program

It's great There's some really good stuff in there. Eco warriors. Yeah. So in there was the first time I've seen the hair wash basin from hairdressers. You know the ones you lean back in, you tilt your head right back and they wash your hair in it and they'll have a little chat to you and stuff. And I was like, man, I haven't seen one of those for ages because I go to a barber to get my beard trimmed, but I haven't actually been into a salon for years, 18 years probably. So this is really interesting.

Now I'm going to meld these two piles that I've – you'll remember Beauty Pallet Syndrome, a modern threat to the feminine world, and the fact that I saw a basin. Let's push them together. Beauty Pallet Syndrome refers to a transitory set of symptoms due to reduced blood flow to the posterior circulation of the brain. When you lay back in that sink, some people, when they

lay back and tilt their head back, put pressure on the part of their neck that is transporting oxygenated blood to the brain, leading to a stroke. Now, this doesn't happen to everybody, but there have been many cases over the years of people that are in the sink, lean right back, and all of a sudden when they go to get up,

they experience extreme vertigo and dizziness due to decreased blood flow to the vertebrae basilar distributions. Of course. Visual disturbances, graying, Double vision. Blurring. Complete blindness. Drop attack. So after they're like, you can go back to the other chair now

and you stand up, they just stand up, fall straight over, buckling of the knees, numbness or tingling, slurred or lost speech, confusion, headache, issues of swallowing.

Some people straight up have vomited. You thought that this, you just thought it was the wine they gave you for free. Oh, I love it when a salon gives you wine. But she drinks eight of them. Yeah, well, that's why I have my hairdresser come to my house because there's always a bottle in the fridge.

What sink does she wash her hair in? I just go in the shower. All right. She's like, go wash that off. Yeah, not with her. You take her in. You stand your togs, though. Because it's not sexual.

She's in a one-piece, like, Speedo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Red Speedos. But if I go to her house and my shower's not there, I'll just do it in her kitchen sink. Right, so I don't know if that would be the same. I put my head forward. Oh, okay.

Yeah, so it's the leaning back and the pushing on the parts of the brain. It doesn't happen to everybody, but if you also have the risk factors associated with stroke, like advanced age, which is just a scientific way of saying you're old, hypertension, obesity, all of the things you know lead to a stroke. Normally, it can wildly increase your chances of pushing in there, forming a little clot, and then when you stand up, the clot shoots up into your brain.

Be careful. Be careful out there. Just don't put all your weight on your neck. Yeah. It doesn't go into how to – it says the way to go about preventing this, stop smoking, exercise, control your diabetes, and eat a low diet, low on cholesterol. Boring.

But I'm already at the hairdressers, it's too late. What do I do? Just don't push too hard on the, and then when you take it off, just take it easy for a bit. Yeah. Okay. So today's fact of the day

is there is a thing called beauty parlor syndrome and I don't know because that's just panic causing really. That's just clickbait panic causing and it might make you a little bit dizzy.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Well, it's time now for the impossible finding topic. And you think, Hayley, you've found something impossible that no one will admit to. Yeah, see, I don't think it's impossible that it's happening. You know it's happening. I know it's happening. But I've actually been approached to have this happen to me,

if you remember. Once, just once. Yes, yes. But I don't know if people are going to share with us the inside of this. So a new thing on TikTok, people, lots of young women, are sharing their experiences

of being a sugar baby and having a sugar daddy, which is, of course, they are young, the daddy is old, and he pays for them to live their luscious life. And they're sharing, like, they get to stay home all day, they just work out and do a little bit of Instagram, and then daddy brings them some jewellery and some handbags

and some luscious food. Daddy, I want a new handbag. Veruca, sweetheart. And not always do they have to sleep with them either, eh? Not always. Lots of different experiences being shared on TikTok. Some with some sexual sides and others with nothing. They just have to chat with them and go out to dinner

and make them feel... Just some company. Like a happy daddy. And then there are those sugar daddies that love to have their credit cards spent. Oh, yeah, they're like tarantially humiliated. They're just like, yeah, humiliate me and spend all my money. Oh my, I know. Like that would be the perfect sugar daddy, right?

I know. Well, I've been approached once on the gram to be a sugar baby. Ten years ago? No, this was this year and I was like, I'm 32. Wow. 32 and I'm doing alright. So it was sort of like. You didn't need it. You were just like no thanks. No, I mean it's not that I don't need it, but I was like, I'm 32. Wow, okay. I'm 32, and I'm doing all right. So it was sort of like...

You didn't need it. You were just like, no thanks. No, I mean, it's not that I don't need it, but it was a little bit like, I don't think I'm what you're looking for. What if they were one of those ones that wanted their money spent? You've really missed out there.

Damn it. Anyway, so that's my impossible phoner. Are you in an arrangement like this? Are you a sugar baby? Or have you been? Do you have a sugar daddy or sugar mama? You hear more about sugar daddies. That's right. Yeah, but you can get sugar mamas too.

Sugar mamas. And if you you can call anonymously and I want to know the workings of this relationship. What you give, what you get. I wanted to go on record and say I don't believe this to be an impossible phone-in. You reckon that we will not find this impossible?

I think we may find it impossible for people to admit. Yeah, because I want the inside goss. It's 100% happening, but I just don't know if people will admit to it. Well, let's see how possible or impossible this is. All 800 dials at M. We want to hear from Sugar Babies. Well, it's the impossible phone-in topic.

Topic, you think, Hayley, we won't get anyone to admit. Yeah, I want to know the inside goss of being in a sugar baby relationship. Anonymous has called up. Anonymous, it's not you. No, it's my sister. Oh, okay, and so she was a sugar baby. Yes.

And so what was the arrangement? I mean, that's the thing sugar baby? Yes. And so what was the arrangement? I mean, that's the thing I want you to tell me. What was the arrangement? Well, she was up on one of those websites. She had a mixture of sexual and non-sexual, but she got a heck of a lot of stuff out of it. Like what? Like what's one of the best things a sugar daddy bought her?

Well, she's had trips to Thailand and Bali. Oh, yes. Two of my favourite places in the world. And I actually just remembered she got a van imported in from somewhere brand new with personalised plates and everything. A van? A van? Why does she need a van?

She turned it into a camper van. Oh, okay. Because I was going to say, I'd want my sugar daddy to get me an Audi. Yeah, I'd be like, a Polish please, daddy. Oh, my God. So she'd just go away on holiday with these guys? Yep, and sometimes without them.

But it pays for her to go without. And how, oh, my God. See, that's the arrangement I want. I don't want to hang out with them. What did your family, what was your feelings about this arrangement? A little bit of jealousy at the moment. Jealousy?

Get yourself a daddy. Anonymous? You can do it. Wow. Okay, thank you so much for sharing. So many of some texts and calls coming through. We'll get to more of those next, but it turns out not impossible. Hello? Well, the impossible phone and topic.

Hello. I want to hear from sugar babies or sugar daddies or sugar mamas, a sugar arrangement because lots of people at the moment are sharing on TikTok of their experiences of being a sugar baby. And I'm so fascinated by it. Not that I want to do it. I'm just like fascinated. You probably missed the boat, to be honest.

I was approached a few months ago. They're not called sugar middle-aged ladies, are they? Oh my God. Middle-aged? I'm 32, old man. How dare you. Sophia, good morning. Hello, good morning. How are we? We're so good. Now,

are you a sugar baby? Were you a sugar baby? I was when I was younger. What age were you? I was 19. Okay, and what kind of stuff did you get? I ended up getting $500 for just going to a dinner paid by a man and I just had to wear a nice dress. That was all. Did he pay for the nice dress? Those things don't come cheap. He gave me a few gift cards afterwards as well. Gift cards. Okay, that's tax free too.

Let's see the IRD come for your bloody prezi card. Was he trying to show other people that he had a partner or something? See, that's the thing. I have a feeling that that was the point in it, that he just wanted to have a nice lady on his arm. But I didn't have to do anything else.

Right, you didn't get any free trips to Thailand or anything? I wish, but I kind of gave up. How long did the arrangement last? Oh, yeah. Oh, we only went on a few dates, maybe about three. Okay. So how did he find you we only went on a few dates, maybe about three. Okay. So how did he find you? Were you on

the Sugar Baby website? I was. Many of my friends had done it before, so I thought I'd give it a go as well. Right. And so you can choose

like if it's non-sexual, sexual, right? Yeah. So that's... Yeah, right. Okay. Well, I mean,

you know what? Live your life and what an experience to tell. Maybe you could get your feet on there. I do have a good thought. Honestly, it would work. Okay, Sophia. Okay, I take that.

You've got renos to pay for, mate. The cost of construction's only going up. I know. Get a few prezi cards. Buy some jib with some prezi cards. Yeah, okay. All right. Prezi cards.

Imagine being a sugar baby for jib. Sophia, thank you for your call. Because it's so hard to come by at the moment. I need to find myself a jib daddy. Yeah, I'll send you two photos of my feet for eight sheets of jib. Who do I need to take out to dinner or sleep with at Winston Jib? Or Fletcher Building. Sophia, thank you for sharing.

Mike. I'm not having a hearty plank. Mike, you've been a sugar baby. Sophia, thank you for sharing. Mike. I'm not having hearty plank. Mike, you've been a sugar baby. Yeah, I have indeed. This is interesting because we were just talking about some people that we know that were guys and also sugar babies. It works both ways.

Of course. Tell us about your arrangement. So I met a lady through, it was actually my sister's ex-boyfriend, he started dating a dentist and sort of took me to a mixer and I met a woman there who was a businesswoman, very successful and yeah, she sort of cornered me and took me home for the night and in the morning she sort of... Cornered you took me home for the night. And in the morning, she sort of... Cornered you like a feral cat.

Yeah, almost, almost. But I had a lot of fun. And she sort of in the morning said, look, this was supposed to be a one-night thing, but she goes, I think I'm going to keep you for a while. I'm going to keep you! Oh, my! Wow, OK.

And what was the arrangement then? She used to fly me to Auckland and we'd sort of just go out for dinner and stuff and she put me into a lot of nice suits and clothes and taught me how to dress. I was only sort of 18 at the time, so I learned a lot about things from her. Yeah, and then out of the bedroom.

I was going to say, if she's a businesswoman, would you pick up any good tips on how to be an effective business leader? Put any investments anywhere? Inside of trading, maybe? Yeah, that's right. You don't want to get down for that. Yeah, wow. And how long did that last?

It was probably just a little bit under four years, I guess, on and off. Wow, did you get any overseas holidays? Only to Australia, but yeah, that was nice. Yeah, wow. A couple of times. Wow, look you get any overseas holidays? Only to Australia, but there is, yeah, that was nice. Yeah, yeah, wow. A couple of times. Wow, look at that. Amazing, Mike. Thanks so much for sharing.

More messages in. Someone said, Hayley, you still have a chance. I'm 37 and I have a sugar daddy. I thought you were going to say, I'm 37 and I'll be your sugar daddy. I was like, what? Yeah. I was only joking. You'd be great as a sugar baby.

What, when you call me middle-aged? Acquaintance of mine has a sugar daddy. I didn't think too much of it. She was like, oh, yeah, he bought me this. It was like nice things. I was like, oh, yeah, good on her. And then he's just bought her a $95,000 Ford Mustang. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I'd cry. I'd cry. I'd cry. I've always wanted a Mustang. And you know what? He'd fill it up too. At today's gas prices. He'd give you a little petrol car. Yeah, that. I'd cry. I've always wanted a Mustang. And you know what? He'd fill it up too at today's gas prices. He would. He'd give you a little petrol car.

Yeah, that's the thing. You get given one of these things and then it costs you a fortune to drive it. Daddy, I can't fill it up. It's $3 a litre. Daddy, help me, Daddy. I was a sugar baby. I got flown around the world first class, fancy dinners, weekly allowance, shopping, designer hand handbags expensive car in my name although they do say here

they were in their early 20s so that to me says that would be hard to insure if it was in your name I'd probably keep it in his name yeah just for insurance purposes um

it was fantastic love making oh okay he was not attractive do not call me we have not called you he was not attractive do not call me thank you for sharing anyway yeah. Do not call me. Thank you for sharing

anyway. Yeah, yeah. I've been one, got some good money, everything was consensual, he was very respectful but just didn't believe he had time to dedicate himself to a, you know, traditionally functioning relationship. Oh, okay. I had a friend we referred to as my sugar mama for a while.

She put money in my bank account unannounced and then she paid for our whole friend group to go on holidays. It wasn't an arrangement as such and we used to joke about it a lot. What is it then? You just get free holidays and what do they get out of it? Just seeing that you're having fun? Perhaps. Just sharing the wealth around.

Wow, there you go. Not the impossible phone-in topic. Not impossible, but God, it's just fascinating. And now is everybody feeling broke now? I'm just going to quickly check my DMs to see. Have you got any more offers? No. Anything?

ZM's Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley. Right, so it's time now for the bits that we couldn't say on air. I scrolled back. I can't even remember what ones we did say on air. So we talked about gross habits that you're willing to admit to. Yeah, James. James Corden. Fuck, I hate him.

Yeah. I cannot stand even people like, I love carpool karaoke. I love all the people in the car with him. I can't stand him. Yeah, it was fun a few years ago. I'm over it now as well. But apparently he's a bit of a jack. Yeah, you hear the stories, don't you?

You do hear the stories. They go around the industry, I tell you what. Well, he doesn't wash his hair, so that was what got us onto, like, how gross are you? What's your gross habit? And these are the ones I didn't read on air. I pick my scalp until it bleeds. Yuck. And then I'll pick the scalp for months.

Why is your scalp still scabby? Sort that out. Well, that won't heal if you keep playing with it. Gross. I pop my pimples and wipe the pus on the wall beside the mirror in the bathroom. I have a collection. I told you these were

fucking gross. I was reluctant to do this. You didn't give the trigger warning. Ah! Trigger warning. I was reluctant to do this. You didn't get the trigger warning. Ah. Trigger warning. Trigger warning. This is fucking yuck. That's what we should call the little podcast only segment of the show. And this is just on-air brainstorm with Producer Jarrett.

Producer Jarrett wants to talk after this with us. We've already been here for an extra hour. He's like, actually, no fucking cares. About doing extra work. I'm already doing just enough, I think. So pop my pimples, wipe the pus on the wall, beside the mirror. I have a collection. I wipe it off at the end of the week when I clean the bathroom.

Why are you collecting it? What is this for? What are you doing? Put it down the sink. Put your hand under the tap. Just get a flannel. You do the hot, hot, hot flannel. My ex picks his scabs and eats them.

He even did it in public as well. Now, how does that kiwi fruit feel in lieu of the news you've just taken on board? The kiwi fruit skin would have a scabby quality to it. Yuck. Yeah, that's gross. I'm glad you said my ex. My partner, when he gets dead skin on any part of his body, will pick it off and eat it. The first time I saw this, we were already married, and it was too late for me to do anything about it.

I'm pretty sure I vomited. I just choose to pretend it doesn't happen nowadays. He's like, what's that Austin Powers character? Gold member? Yeah. Oh, Flakey, Flakey. You want a flake? Oh, it's a good one.

Smoking a pancake. Oh, amongst those text messages, someone says thoughts and prayers. For Fletch, you're on that list. Oh, good thoughts and prayers. Don't give me your thoughts and prayers. For Fletch, you're in their prayers. Oh, good thoughts and prayers. Don't give me your thoughts and prayers. It's a load of rubbish. Again, if everybody could keep Fletch in their prayers.

During my evening prayers tonight, it's going to be all about you. Yeah, I've got a couple of prayers lined up for today. Give them to people that need them. I'm looking at them. You need them, yeah. If anybody needs a cleansing of the soul. I'm going to save this one for last. Oh, I don't know. If anybody needs a cleansing of the soul I'm going to save this one for last I made a comment on the weekend

Oh no that's done I went to school with a girl Who would pick things out of her hair and eat them What like Flaky bits Dandruffy bits My ex partner used to use his hand To wipe off the number twos and then just wash them. What?

What the hell? You are kidding. Oh, yuck. Then wash his hand under the toilet flush water as he flushed it. No, no, no. Someone's just trying to freak us out. Wait. No, that's not true.

That's not true. That's fucking feral. Someone's just trying to freak us out. Wait, no, that's not true. That's not true. That's fucking feral. That's so gross. Do you think, you remember the toilet paper shortages during COVID? Yeah. He's probably, oh, these suckers. Oh, he would have been laughing all the way to the bank.

These absolute suckers. Oh my God. Oh, Jared's just said, during the phone, we did try to call that person, but it went straight to voicemail. Yeah, I'm not surprised either. Oh my God.

That's something he's going to admit only in text. Anyway, this was gross. I'm full of regret for reading them all out. Everybody feels a little bit yuck. I think we should all go have a shower. And if you made it this far

through the podcast, we both congratulate you and thank you and we'll see you next time. Do you still want to talk to us, Jared? No. Let's go home.

He knows we're a couple of hard-working bloody speed humps. You two will be from here on out. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
