The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast. Thanks to McCafe, try their refreshing McCafe iced coffee. It's available now at Macca's. We're going to talk about something that didn't quite make the cut of the On Air show. Well, I thought we'd put it in today's show and then we get to the end of the show and it wasn't in there. And you were very excited to talk about this.

I had a lot of stuff to say about it. We've got the map of the world in accordance to penis size. Right. Okay. The biggest pain. Biggest dick around the world. Wowza. Is New Zealand on the list?

No. No. No. No. I've got to say, yeah. But what about biggest dick per capita? Not a lot of... Oh, because we always, you know, at the Olympics and stuff,

where it was per capita we do really well. They haven't done biggest dick per capita. I will say not a lot of Pakeha countries, not a lot of British countries. Also, why do you think they bloody colonized? It was all making up for some wild insecurities. Overcompensating. Yeah, absolutely.

But, like, how do they work this out? Do they just, like, have you ever had a knock on the door and someone's got a tape measure? Yeah, but your disguise wasn't very good. So I said, I see through your disguise. Like, would you let someone in to measure you up like how are they or it's gonna be a survey right because if you want self measuring you add an inch add a couple add a whole inch or a centimeter or whatever makes you happy

uh hang on i'm just saying i'm just trying to find out if we're talking This will be inches won't it Give me a number because if it's like 23 it's not going to be inches 6.4 It's not centimetres So we've got the average So is this The top 10 countries The UK's 54th

Is New Zealand We're away I'll get the full list Open the full size version here But we'll do the top 10 Panama with an average of 6.4 inches Jamaica 6.4 inches

Then above that Hungary, yes please, 6.5 Very hungry Hungry by name, hungry by nature Number 7, Bolivia, 6.5 inches. Lebanon, coming in hot and hard at 6.6.

Yeah, I see what you did there. Venezuela, 6.7. Fourth is Colombia, 6.7. Number 3, Ghana, 6.8. Number three, Ghana, 6.8. Number two, Ecuador.

Ecuador! 6.9. Jesus. And number one, Congo, 7.1. So that jumped up quite a bit, didn't it? Are we saying flaccid? Are they saying flaccid? Surely not.

New Zealand, where are we? Oh, babe. You're still scrolling. You're still scrolling. Oh, we're smack bang in the middle. We're in the, our whole country is highlighted little bit below Australia, but don't get, no, no, no. Do Australia beat us?

Yeah. But don't get No no no Little Do Australia beat us? Yeah Oh That's not what we wanted to hear today is it? 5.3 to 5.8 No no no no no Oh they've got it out of order there Yeah yeah yeah they beat us So we're average 5.3 to 5.8

That's our general We're not miles behind a 7.1 5.9 Not miles So they're just above behind a 7.1 5.9 So they're just above 5.3 to 5.9 Gosh Far apart Did you see there was another

Celeb What's his name, Big Sean? A leak online Did he leak it himself? I just hate using the word leak when we're talking about a penis pic. Especially one of that size.

Yeah, absolutely. Monstrous thing. Monstrous thing. He held it beside a Nintendo Switch, didn't he? Yeah, the Nintendo Switch was like,

please, I'm embarrassed. This is what I like though. That's something we can all compare ourselves to. Yeah. Well, not in New Zealand. You just heard the stat.

Yeah, yeah. Nothing to be proud of but nothing to be ashamed of. No. Take the N's off the Nintendo Switch. Yeah. Well, not in New Zealand. You just heard the stat. Yeah, yeah. Nothing to be proud of, but nothing to be ashamed of. No. Take the ends off the Nintendo Switch. Yeah. And then that takes a bit, like an inch and a half of each end. Yeah, right. Okay. You're getting a bit closer. Maybe just use the end.

Yeah. For the comparison. Yeah. We'll do it right there. Bit of loving, everybody. Thank you, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Flea, Tvorn and Hayley. Three minutes past six.

I'm off to a good start. That's the sound of me trying to type. I'm going to get it in closer. Get it in closer. What's wrong with your computer? I don't know. It's not mine. It's a work computer. It's not my problem, is it? Oh, no, it's not mine. It's like brand new. It's a work computer.

It's not my problem, is it? Oh, well. Hard reset? Soft reset. Which is the reset I'm after here? I mean, you could be in Ukraine right now. Yeah, I'm going to put it in perspective, to be fair. Yeah.

I'm just going to do a soft restart. Okay. Keep it in perspective. Give it a softy. Tell you what, though. Day two, no funk. No funk this week. You went to the gym yesterday? I did. I breathed it in perspective. Tell you what though, day two, no funk. No funk this week. You went to the gym yesterday? I did.

I breathed it all in. And I'm still fine. Miraculous. I licked a few surfaces at the gym yesterday. I thought, let's just get this out of the way. We've got the sweepstake in the office as to who's getting COVID first. We call the COVID kitty. The COVID kitty. We're putting in $5 each. I've got my sweepstake in the office as to who's getting COVID first. We call the COVID kitty. The COVID kitty.

It's got a name. We're putting in $5 each. I've got my $5 right here. So you can't say you're an idiot. You used to do this with the Melbourne Cup. I'll have that horse. I'll bring the money later. Then he would lose and he'd never put the money in.

Oh, because I always got the shit horse. He's a piece of shit. Are we doing cash rather than a transfer? No, I only do electronic transfers. I've got a $10 note in my wallet, so I'll cover you. Jared's the kiddie master because he used to work at the Trackside radio stations. He knows all about odds. Producer Jared, who's got the odds?

Who's got the best odds at the moment? Or the lowest, would you say? I think I have the highest odds. So you're the... As in you're paying more if you get it first? Yep.

Okay. I think I set myself as like $5 last night. So that means you are the least likely to get it first. Yeah. Who's the most?

I had... I think I had Vaughn and then I had Fletch, and then I had Hayley. What? What about Anna? She's got like 10,000 friends. Anna's surrounded by her. It's true.

She's a dollar five. And I kissed all of them on the mouth on the weekend. I reckon you're Fletch, you're gymming, and you're at a gym that's had cases. Yeah. Mind you, last night, Executive Intern Anya, you got how many notifications that you had been in the

proximity of somebody with one on the old COVID app? Yeah. I reckon you were rocking a straight $1.10. I've got kids who

are back in the public schooling system, so I mean, I'm a flat one. I'm not a good bet. Who gets all the money in the kitty? The very first person

that gets COVID. But shouldn't it be the last person? I think it should be the last person. It it be the last person? I think it should be the last person. It should be the last person. I thought the COVID kitty was sort of to soften the blow

of the fact that you've got COVID. No, because you'll just go out and start for 30 bucks. I'm tight and I love winning. You love more for less. I love winning. In my 20s maybe, baby. I'm 40 now.

Should it be the person who's last? But then what if there's a couple of people And they don't get it for ages Also, I kind of want to get it done by Easter I don't want to be No, it's got to be done by Easter Yeah, I don't want us to start getting competitive About avoiding it, locking ourselves down

It's got to be done by Easter So the first person who gets it gets the kitty. This $5 note, I found it folded up in the back of my wallet. I don't know when or how it got there, but yeah, it's buggered. That doesn't look real. It is. The machine the other day that I tried to get changed from

wouldn't believe it was real. I think you've got until tomorrow to bring in your cash. I'll spot you. I've got a $10 note I'm dying to get rid of. Yeah, it's all electronically transferred. And you can email me. And then put it there. We need a jar.

We should know we should get one of those wavy cat kitties. Yes. Oh, yeah. And then put it in that. And put the COVID logo on it. Dealing with COVID and rat tests in the top six soon on the show. Yeah, the top six spots that you'll find a rat test at the supermarket. Foodstuffs is going to start selling rats.

From today? Rat tests. Yeah, they're allowed to. No, not rat tests. Rat tests is like saying pin number. It's a redundant. Rats.

Rats. Rapid antigen tests. Right. Rapid antigen tests. The top six places you'll find them in the supermarket. Okay.

It's coming up on the show. Also, we've got a new colour in the midst. It's called Werdl Green. We've just given it away. No, I'm going up on the show. Also, we've got a new colour in the midst. It's called Wordle Green. We've just given it away. No, I'm going to talk about it. I'm going to go into in-depth.

Oh, I don't need to know any more. It's going to be in-depth. You've done what we call that doing a Vaughan. You've given it all away. No, no, no, because they'll be back. If you've done a Vaughan, they'll be back. Wait till you see what I do with it. Wait till you see what I do with it. I'm going to

weave it into a very interesting three to four minute bit. Next on the show, 80% of people are doing this. Oh, so that's how you tease something. Yeah. Because you've got no idea what that could be, right? And then so I'm like, I keep listening because I'm like Right. I'll give you a clue. It's something that

people are doing at the supermarket. Well, this data comes to us from the UK. Eight in ten shoppers at the supermarket are doing this. You know, with inflation, it's just as crazy over there as it is here. The cost of, you know, vegetables and anything at the supermarket. Petrol. The cost of living. Do you get your petrol from the supermarket?

Some people do. Do they? The pack and save petrol. I take it back. Yeah. So, 8 out of 10 shoppers are seeking reduced items or reduced to clear items.

Oh yeah, always. I love a reduced to clear item. But you have to make sure when you see or reduced to clear items. Oh, yeah, always. 80%. I love a reduced to clear item. But you have to make sure when you see a reduced to clear flap that you lift it and see what it originally was. 100%. Because sometimes it's like nine cents. Yeah, or it's 20 cents.

Or it's the same price. Yeah, or like one cent different. Or did you see, I think maybe last week there was one that people were like, can I get the old price? Because the old price was cheaper. Yes. Yeah, yeah. People have been calling out supermarkets

because sometimes they don't change their prices in the system. Cheeky. Cheeky boogers. I love a discount. I always go through that little bin. It's like, you might find something that doesn't really matter. There's a little bin they have, which might be like stuff that's been dented

or like has been ripped out of six packs or something. Or the expiry's like tomorrow. Yep. It doesn't really matter. There's a little bin they have, which might be like stuff that's been dented. Yeah. Or like has been ripped out of six packs or something. Or the expiry's like tomorrow. Yeah. But then there's also the reduced to clear sickers they put on like, you know, like meat. Oh, yeah, always. Because there's like a day left and they're like, quick, sell it. Have it for dinner tonight.

Yeah, that's what I'll do. I always get it. But then you, do you get a little bit nervous? Like sometimes I'll get the reduced to clear meat and then I'll put it in the freezer. And then when you bring it out, you're like, how long are we giving this? I've forgotten what date it was.

Well, you've frozen it. It's fine. Yeah. When you freeze it, it stops the process, doesn't it? Absolutely. And then you defrost it in the fridge for a few days. And then the process begins again. And then you're like,

how many days have we been defrosting that? What's the date on the thing? I know that was months ago because I froze it for a couple of months. Sniff. Visually assess. And then you're like, what does chicken smell like? What is raw chicken supposed to smell like? A little bit of nothing.

Lots of sauce. You won't notice. I had a bit of a grey chicken breast last night. And then I was trying to use, Aaron bought a new thermometer and I was pan frying a breast. Couldn't be bothered with the oven. Yeah. You know, it's hard.

It's hard to get to the core. Yeah. So you had a gray chicken breast that you were like, look, I might just try to cook the outsides of this. Yeah. And then Aaron bought- And you want diarrhea, don't you? Aaron bought a meat thermometer and I was like,

well, I'll just use that to make sure it's reached 75. And it got to like 63 and it just wouldn't go up. And I was like, meh. Well, did you cut it open? It was white. It was super juicy. And you're here today. And I'm here today. And I'm fine in the tummy.

It'll be a couple of kgs down though, if that goes bad. Fingers crossed. I've been talking about The need to lick a chicken Soon It's the latest fad diet Licking a chicken Well every year of course Pantone releases their

Colour of the year Do we talk about this? Yeah. Earlier this year or last year maybe? Is it some gross purple? Yeah, it is. It's called Very Perry. It's a really yucky purple.

Yeah. It's mauvey. I don't know. I don't like it. Is it kind of eggplant? A light eggplant? Yeah, it's like a grimace. Yes, more of a grimace purple.

Grimace purple. Well, move aside Very Perry, because there's a new colour trend. It's called Wordle Green. And it is, of course, the colour of the green squares you are lucky to get in Wordle. And it's taken the fashion world by storm. Is the mustard also making a comeback? It's a nice – oh, I was going to show you my wordle. Oh, no, don't show me because I haven't done today's wordle yet.

Well, I'm not doing so well. I've got one green and one yellow. Right. But no, no mustard. The mustard hasn't come out. It's the green because the green is the thing that gives you the – Yeah, it gives you a good feeling, doesn't it? What about word or grey?

That disheartening grey that if you're still seeing too many of them on your... Word starts causing real anxiety. My car's the colour of word or grey. Very depressing. Yeah, well, they're saying it's the new colour. Everyone's going to be wearing word or green. So not just sort of like a light green or a dark green. I don't do...

I'll do a dark green. A dark green. You're a forest. Forest green. You can pull or a dark green. I don't do green. I'll do a dark green. A dark green. You're a forest. Forest. You're a forest green. You can pull off a forest green. Thank you. I don't do earthy tones.

You only do earthy tones. No, I mean like browns and greens. Blue's not an earthy tone. I wouldn't say blue's earthy, even though the water's predominantly earthy. Where else do you find water? Where have you guys ever seen water? Earthy you even though the water is predominantly... Where else do you find water? Where have you guys... Where else have you seen water? If earthy, you mean of the ground. Of the ground.

Yeah, like browns and greens. And thorns. It's the only... Is thorn a colour? I don't know. Yes. Is it? Is it?

Suck it. Thorn. Oh, my God, I just got flipped to the bird. It's 20 past six, I got flipped to the bird. Is thorn a colour? Yeah. What is the colour of thorn a colour? Yeah. What is the colour of thorn crown?

Brown. You've really come at me this morning with petrol stations at supermarkets. Do you mean thorn? Thorn. Thorn.

Thorn. Thorn is a brown. Thorn is a tan. Thorn's like, bush. Yeah, like bush. Thorn is a thing. Thorn is a thing.

What is the colour of thorn crown? It's one all now, isn't it? No. You, can I, did you see that now, isn't it? No. You, can I, did you see that?

I'm flipping you to bed. Oh Jesus, it's a return, it's a return dude. Get one back. I think you could rock a little bit of Werdl, Werdl green.

Yeah. Because the other day you wore a lovely light yellow t-shirt, bright. Yeah. You look like a banana. You look like a beautiful banana.

Yeah, right. Now you could look like a lovely. You look like a beautiful banana. Yeah, right. Now you could look like a lovely... I feel like people have been, interior-wise though, couches and duvets, like that kind of wordle green, that green, those kind of colours. Jewel tones. Yeah.

Yeah, people have been loving the green. We love a bit of green in our house. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. You've got, yeah, you had an orange wall in your last house. We did, but we also had a green room

that was almost Wordle green. Before Wordle. Before Wordle. So you're like, you're actually ahead of your time. I guess ahead of our time.

Treating wise. The top six next on the show and from next week, I incorrectly said from today. Yeah, you stupid idiot. Because it's the first. I'm going to flip you the bird.

One more bird. Two more birds. Stop the bird. Because it's the first... I'm going to flip you the bird. One more bird. Two more birds. Because it's the first of March today. I got all excited. But RIP summer. It's autumn now. Shush. I mean...

Oh my gosh, shush. It's if you go by the month thing. Otherwise, if you go by the equinoxy business, you've got a week a bit. Okay. A week and a bit. It's like 28 degrees in Auckland. From next week...

It's global warming, baby. You'll be able to buy rat tests in the supermarket. So the top six next. The top six spaces in the supermarket that you'll be able to find the rat tests. From the yummy ZM Think Tank, this is the top six. Hello. From next week, rat. Rat. Rat. I've really got to stop myself saying rat tests. So from next week, rat, rat, rat. I've really got to stop myself saying rat tests.

The T in rat stands for test. So it's like saying pin number. It's just your pin. But everyone says your pin number. Yeah, I know. You can't just say rat tests. You can't just say rats. Rapid antigen tests are going to be available in supermarkets.

So I've got a quote here from Foodstuffs. This was the Foodstuffs North Island... Is it like a motivational quote? Nah, it's not. Is it a cat hanging off a branch? Yeah, is it hang in there? Hang in there. No, it's not. It's nothing like that. Is it a biblical

quote? No. Is it a quote to get some work done? Well, I'll tell you what the quote is and you tell me if you'd put this on your wall. Gonna come in a pack of five for about $32.99, so that's $6.60. The Mahatma Gandhi said that, not foodstuffs. Yeah, yeah. Plato, didn't Plato first one of those words?

Is that ancient Greece? But no, they've said that they're selling, they're gonna be at, that's at like, cost. They're not gonna go like crazy and mark them up. They're not gonna profit at. Foodstuffs have said they've made a commitment to sell rats at a cost. Cool.

At cost. So it'd be, and correct me if I'm wrong, it'd be best just to get a pack. And have them? Pending, you know, yeah, yeah, and have them rather than wait till you feel sick, then go get them. Totally. I hate to say that people are absolutely going to,

I mean, they'll have to put a limit on them, right? 100%. Or did you see a friend of ours post on Facebook yesterday about all the abuse she's getting, like she's rat testing or just at a testing station, just getting abuse, handing out rats from people to people. Yeah. I'd say, what are you here for?

And if they said a rat, you stupid bitch, I'd throw an actual rat in their car. Right. Yeah, yeah, rat for a rat. South African hijack situation. You want rats? Throw a rat in a rat, you stupid bitch, I'd throw an actual rat in their car. Right. Yeah, yeah. Rat for a rat. South African hijack situation. You want rats? Throw a rat in the car.

They jump out of the car. That's your car now. Yeah. Yeah. So be nice to... Pack of five rats, you dumb bee. And then you're just like, five rats, is that? And you throw five rats in the car.

Watch your mouth, I'd say. Watch your damned language. Well, the supermarket's got little sorts of nooks and crannies. Oops, wrong window. The tops? No, that's yesterday's. Hold on, I've got too many pages open. It wasn't today. It wasn't yesterday's top six. Shit.

Just looking back on that. We didn't want to say, did we? We have to listen to it again when we arrive at work in the morning. Oh, it fell short. It's the first thing. Well, at least you know it fell short. I woke up, that was on my clock radio this morning when I woke up. Yeah.

The top six. We were at work. I don't have a clock radio. Calm down. I was on the road. Here we go. Top places. Top six places in the supermarket to find rapid antigen tests.

Number six. In the freezer beside the profiteroles. So you might as well grab some of them. Oh, you might as well. You might as well grab a profiterole. Because if it turns out

that your rat says positive, you're going to want a profiterole. You're going to want a profiterole to soften the blow. And also grab some marshmallows. I remind myself

every winter, marshmallows are great for a sore throat. Suck on them, they slowly melt. There's something about the coating, something about the hoof, something about the hoofs in the marshmallows, the melted for a sore throat. Suck on them. They slowly melt. There's something about the coating, something about the hoof,

something about the hoofs in the marshmallows. The melted hoof on the throat lines the throat, reduces the scratching. Not those giant ones, Olai, for the fire. Nah, because the marshmallow quality of those is terrible. No, you can eat little ones. The packet ones. The little higher quality. The proper Pascal ones.

I love having a mouthful of those massive ones though. You're just like. And it slowly melts in your mouth. Although I will say the instructions on our rat tests say that you've got to have it at room temperature

for a certain amount of time. So don't if you're getting them from the freezer section or don't store them in the fridge. Could you give them a quick nuke

in the microwave? I don't know about that. No, I wouldn't think so. Before using them. Well. No. No. What wouldn't think so. Before using them. Well. No. No. What's the harm in trying?

Number five on the list of the top six places in the supermarket to find rapid antigen tests are in the free fruit for kids basket. There might be a couple in there or they'll be beside that free fruit. I mean, to be, and my feeling is that free fruit for kids basket, to be in my feeling is that free fruit

for kids basket is also the most likely place you're going to get COVID in a supermarket. So you get it as you get in the text. Yeah. Grubby little mitts in there for a Mum, I'm going to grab a banana. And then just eat two bites of the banana and then drop it on the ground so that woman falls over

in the Christchurch supermarket and demands free fruit for kids has ended immediately. What happened to a free slice of luncheon? Well, I think they were like, this extremely high-sodium, ultra-processed meat isn't good for children. Oh, it was good, though. It was, wasn't it?

We're doing all right, eh? Yeah, we're okay. We're doing all right. We grew up on that junk. Now we're fine. I'm just going to get my heart going again. I'm just going to work a little bit. I'm just going to work a cholesterol chunk through my heart.

Number four on the list of the top six places in the supermarket to find rapid antigen tests. Check out between the chewing gum and the choccy. Yeah, it'd be a good place for them. Yeah, that'd be a good spot. I reckon that's where they're going to be. Because you'll forget,

won't you? Yeah. I'll grab a couple of rats for later. A couple of rats and a couple of sesame snaps. Yeah. You buying sesame snaps?

Oh, yuck. I hate those things. What are you, a budgie? Because I have all the things to pick you picking up a sesame snap. You go home and sit in your cage

and have a nibble. Yum. Aaron's like, oh, you've dropped it all over the floor of your cage, Hayley. You're like, ah,

ah, sesame snap. Yuck. I'm going to find the page again because I just googled sesame snaps to make sure they're as gross as I remember.

Oh, my God, you're so wrong. So dry. So dry. Dry? They're doused in honey. Oh, I'm eating the wrong sesame snap. They are like – They're gooey.

They're made of honey, sesame, and glucose. That's all it is. Look at you, big bird bitch. Come on. How dare you. Number three on the list of the top six places in the supermarket to find rapid antigen tests

amongst that weird collection of things that are before the trolley gates into the supermarket Yeah but after the checkouts Oh yeah You know there's a whole lot

of stuff out there There's always specials always some good specials there Out there there's like I don't know, chips. Hackensave always had that, eh? When you go through the trolley gates. Yeah. It's like special, special.

Palm olive body wash. Special. Yeah. Before you get to fruit and veg. It's almost like they're daring you to try to steal that stuff. Yeah. Because you haven't gone through those irreversible trolley gates yet. You can just nap back. No, they're always past the trolley

gates. No, there's some supermarkets where it's like as you're going in, there'll be like some market fruit and veg deals and then like, yeah, packets of chips. Before you go through. Right. But it's also after the checkouts. Right. Number two on the list of the top six places in the supermarket to find rats

in the magazine rack. Beside horse and pony, hunting and fishing, cars and wheels. Who's still buying magazines? Mums. We were reading a lovely magazine yesterday. Oh, that's right. The Company Viva. The Company Viva.

Lorde's guest editor. She is. And we enjoyed it thoroughly. You were loving all the frocks in that, weren't you? Loved the frocks. Yes. enjoyed it thoroughly. You were loving all the frocks in that, weren't you? Loved the frocks. Yes. Available now. You played that game,

hold your breath and flip through the magazine till you find something you'd sleep with. We used to do that. Fletch almost passed out. Fussy boy. He did. I got to page two. I was like, yep, I'm out.

To be fair, I'd missed the page two. I think page two had something for everybody. What, you think page two is sticky? No, I missed page two. What did you do when you found your purse? Licked it. Sealed it. Shut.

Bagzies. She's for me. That's the old school, Bagzies. Page two had something for everybody. And if you would like to see if page two had something for you, it's Viva. Available now. From NZME.

Is it a Herald thing? it's a company yeah but it doesn't come with the Herald no but you buy it you buy it when you buy your magazines

because everybody I don't know if you heard me say before everybody's still reading magazines magazines are the medium that people are buying they certainly are

there's one on the table there Vaughan we've got four copies over here oh yeah page two was oh it's Anya Joy Taylor. Yeah, from Queen's Gambit. And he's handsome too. He's

absolutely handsome. I wouldn't kick him out of bed in the morning. I would actually, but my wife's at you home any minute. Please, sir, please get out of the bed. And number one, how did you even get in here? What did we drink last night? Oh my god. And number one on the list of the top six places in the supermarket

to find rapid antigen tests. In that thing with the muscles where you have to stop the water spray to grab them. They're in there. They're wrapped up. They're in a bag. I thought you would have had some rats in the wine, in the wine aisle for Hayley.

Wine and a rat. Yeah, you know how sometimes with a wine, they have like a ribbon around it. They could tie a rat to the wine. Yes. Same thing, soften the blow. They could call it a rat's eye. A cool glass of rat's eye.

Always thinking, old marketing smithy over here. He's a marketing man. He's an ideas guy. Won't follow through on anything. That is today's top six. Came home yesterday morning? Afternoon? Afternoon

and my friend who's a landscaper our friend Tim and Aaron were trimming the hedge we've got like a long driveway

with a sort of pittosporomy hedge Oh yeah yeah yeah Alright What's a pittosporomy hedge? Is it one of those small light brain leaves?

Yeah yeah Okay I'm imagining that. Kind of bushy. Right. Is that a native plant? Well, I've recently found out one hedging plant that everyone uses is native. And I was like, that blows my mind. Why does it blow your mind?

I assumed hedging plants were all brought in from overseas. Yeah. Right. Like back in the day, they were like... Pittosporum's a native to New Zealand? A species of New Zealand native evergreen tree. Right. Evergreen, meaning year round.

So are they... You're welcome. You come home and they're doing the hedge. Are they doing a straight hedge line? Yeah, yeah. God, yeah. Flat, man. I'll tell you what.

I get so jazzed when I see some old mate that's done a straight. I gave you a lawn hedge compliment, didn't I? Yeah, that hedge grew back. I needed to retrim my hedge. It's like pubes. If you leave them too long, out of control. Is there a season where pubes grow quicker? Because I feel like this, I thought it was too dry.

Yeah, your pubes grow faster with more moisture and more heat. Really? It's in the summer. It's just like an indoor plant. Anyway, so they were doing the trimming and I was like, I bought my boys a sandwich.

Okay. Oh, yeah, boy, you're a hard-working boy. I bought them a sandwich. I said, I'll go inside. I'll cut your sandwich. You boys come inside and have a little rest. I went in and cut their sandwich. And then Aaron just comes in and he's like,

that was full on, man. And he opens up the freezer and gets this big clay ice pack out and he puts it on himself and he just hoons into the sandwich. I was like, what did you do? He's like, I hit a wasp's nest. I was like, what do you mean you hit a wasp's nest? He's like, yeah. And he pulls it off and he's been stung on his arm six times.

Six times? Six times on his arm. And he was like, yeah. I would have been crying. I know. I got stung by two bees in a week last year, and I made a scene for months. But he was just like, oh, yeah, hooned into the sandwich. I was like, are you all right?

He said, yeah, I think so. As the poison coursed through his veins. Yeah, and then they went outside, and our friend Tim was like, I'll deal with this. You got any fly spray? I was like, guys, this seems insane. We need to call someone to get rid of this. He was like, no, no, no, no, no.

Tim went low end. We used to petrol them. Well, we wouldn't have any petrol. no, no, no, no, no. Sam went low end. We used to petrol them. Well, we wouldn't have any petrol. Oh, lawnmower. Lawnmower, I guess. Oh, no, he just grabbed a tin of fly spray. Like a black flag. Like a black flag.

Just went ham. Oh, I didn't go out. I wasn't about to get stung. Aaron's already taken six on the arm. And they got rid of it. I don't know how. They just sprayed it to death and picked it up and put it in the bin. Right. How would you like it if you were sprayed it to death and picked it up and put it in the bin. Right.

How would you like it if you were just in your house and some blades came through the roof and then a big... I mean, when it's your time, it's your time. Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, right. I don't know, I just sort of... And then some aerosol spray comes through the roof and you're just watching TV.

Yeah, but they're wasps. It's not like... We didn't spray a beehive. We love the bees. Yeah, wasps are the the bees Wasps are the enemies Yeah wasps are the enemies Wasps are the enemies Anyways so Aaron comes in

And I was like Surely that hurts He was like yeah It's quite full on And he just lies on the ground And he's like I feel a bit dizzy And he died

He's a big unit though He's dead now Yeah that's what I thought Only a big unit Can take six in the arm Yeah And he lies on the ground And he's like

I feel a bit dizzy A bit silly And I was like Do you want Should we go to the A&E And he was like No no's like, I feel a bit dizzy, a bit silly. And I was like, do you want, should we go to the A&E? And he was like, no, no, no, I'm going to have a shower

and I have a sleep. And I was like, yeah, that's what you do when you're not feeling very well. When you're lightheaded. You go to have a sleep and he has a shower

and he comes out and he's in his like little, oh, you'll hate this, his little sleeping boxes to have a little lay down for a bit. And he turns around

and I look up and he's got them stung all up the back of his legs as well. Jesus. How many stings did he get? It would have been like 12 in total. Wow. Bad this time of year.

Neighbours got set upon by wasps. They said they pulled out some flax and they just like put it somewhere. And then someone's like, yeah, I'll have that flax. So they came and got it. Picked it up. Picked it up and it was just riddled. When they picked it up, it ripped someone's like, yeah, I'll have that flax. So they came around and got it. Picked it up. Picked it up, and it was just riddled. When they picked it up, it ripped the wasps' nest in half. So they were like, fight!

And went to town on them. But what I was trying to research as he went off to sleep to make sure that he wasn't going to die. But it looked like, because they weren't doing that puffy thing, so it looked like they just sort of stung him but maybe not quite got all the venom in. You know, like a bee sting. If they were bees, oh my God, it'd be a My Girl situation.

I'd be running up with his glasses. Yeah. He can't see. So he woke up and he was fine? He woke up. Yeah, he woke up. Has he woken up this morning? No, he left.

He left at 4.30. Wow. I didn't check, I didn. I left at 4.30. Wow. I didn't check. I didn't check. He's a big man, though. He's a big man. That's my big boy, man. He just takes 12 wasps things like it ain't no thing.

Can your boy take 12 wasps? Can yours? Can your little boy take 12 wasps? Little baby. Little bitch. Your little baby boy. You can't take 12 like mummy. You pathetic little wimp.

Apparently people pay more attention to ads with cats and dogs than them. Absolutely. Yeah, because I see a cute cat, I'm like... Yeah, but what facilitates a cute cat? Fluffy, big eyes. Yes, big eyes. Curious. Yeah. Little paws going,

thump, thump, thump, What about a cat that's, you can tell, has been through the ringer? Like, lived a life.

Like a cat with a half an ear. They wouldn't put that on an ad. Oh, yeah, not the ear. Yeah, no, they would.

What do you mean they wouldn't? Nah, they wouldn't. They would, but for different reasons, right? You get a bit emotional because you're like,

what did that cat do to deserve that? They wouldn't advertise products where the cat was like one eye and cysts everywhere. If it was a lump, a bump. Because it's been in a fight and it's got like a little pus in it. If it was OPSM it might.

Because it's like, you've got one eye left. Oh yeah, maybe. Avoid, yeah, make sure you can see problems on the horizon. It's a cat putting an eye on them. Are you listening OPSM? Yeah, I mean, do it. Dogs also. Yeah, right.

People will just pay more attention to them because they automatically form an emotional bond with them according to the study. Well, think about the lotto ad when that dog... Wilson. Yeah, Wilson with the lotto ticket. That was a journey. Or Roly. Roly dog. From...

The toilet paper. Yeah. Is that still around? That Roly dog? Hey, hey, Roly, Roly, hang on. Hey, hey, Roly, hang on. No, that dog's dead. God, it was a sharp hay.

Oh, yeah, couldn't breathe. It was a purebred sharp hay. It wouldn't... You're talking... Six years. Well over 20 years ago that that happened. Oh, right, but then they used... That dog's dead. Yeah, but they used a different one that looks the same. You're talking Six years Well over 20 years ago That that happened Oh right But don't they use

That dog's dead Yeah but they do use A different one That looks the same Spot from Telecom ads Back in the 90s Dead What about

Dulux Dulux dog They've been through British Paints British Paints They've probably been They've probably been 18 of them

British Those English sheep dogs You're right though You do That cute One With the old fella who adopted the dog. Was it Trispelred?

Trispelred? That dog died recently. Blue. I know. That was sad. Actually, now that I think of it, dogs far more so than cats. Yeah. Name ads with cats in them.

I think it's easier, apart from cat food ads. The ad for cat food had a cat in it. Fancy Feast. What a familiar. But it would be harder cat food had a cat in it. Fancy Feast. What a familiar little cake on it. But it would be harder to wrangle a cat on a film set. Making an ad. That's why they're not on a cat. Cats are a-holes.

Yeah, 100%. Aaron worked with a cat recently on a shoot for something, and it was the most passive little cat. And we were like, our cat would run a mile. If anyone walks up our driveway right was it a rag doll

yeah I think so yeah they're always like floppy and was he filming a commercial for a cat food wasn't filming a commercial for cat food

this cat might be in another ad who knows who knows who knows what a cat possibly who knows what Hayley's

fiancee really does ads for? Nobody knows. Nobody knows. Nobody knows. Nobody knows. Maybe I'm getting in trouble. Maybe you've let the cat out of the bag. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Wow, this is an absolute shock to the Australian influencer community. Of which I follow a number. Can I just say win the morning, win the day? What? Okay. Can I also say your vibe attracts your tribe.

It does. It does. Can I say hashtag hoes before bros? I don't know if you can say that actually, Charlene. It does. Can I say hashtag hoes before bros? I don't know if you can say that actually, Charlene. Damn it. I don't know. Anyway, so new advertising rules for Australian social media influencers is now banning them from promoting health products.

So anything like vitamins, skin care. Jeez, skin care? Skin care. That's skin care? Skin care. That's like influence is bloody bread and butter. Anything that claims to diagnose, treat or cure any kind of health

or skin condition, they are now banned from providing. Oh my God. Wow, they're going to just have to go to those accommodation pods. That's the only thing left.

Oh, glamping. Yeah, glamping. Glamping. In accommodation pods. It's the only thing. It's, glamping. Yeah, glamping. Glamping. In accommodation pods. It's the only thing. It's supposed to sort of bring them in line with like, you can't promise things that they won't deliver. Yeah, gotcha.

So they can't say anything that's like therapeutic that they have been paid to use. What about, because I've actually got an upcoming like endorsement, I'd call it a campaign. Tell me about it though. With a collagen product that promises all sorts of things that I believe mostly is psychosomatic. I've had a very delicious collagen smoothie and I think you can really see it in my skin this morning. Well, your body can't say that.

Hashtag 32 looking more like 24. You can't say that. Hashtag 32 looking more like 24. You can't say that. So things like sunscreen, skincare, vitamins, protein powder. Really? What's that? Even like gym bras couldn't be like. Collagen powders, supplements, anything like that. So they could say, just to clarify, they could say, I like this,

but they couldn't be paid to say it. Can't be paid. So anything they're paid to do. And so they can't even use, they can't say things like removes toxins, fades age spots, relieves pain, aids metabolism, reduces inflammation. Anything like therapeutic. Anything that you're saying like this will do this. It's kind of good, right?

Is that the advertising standards authority? Yeah, that's their version of that. Wow. That's quite big. Because you think about it, like a chemist couldn't say that. No. Anyone advertising a business online couldn't say that. But yet for years, influencers have been like, look at me, I'm 10 years younger.

This has removed my acne. Yeah, 100%. I have to say, like, that's, when I first started following influencers, that's what it was all about for me. I had acne and I was like looking to people to be like, how can I fix this? And anything they said, I'd buy. But it never worked.

I did that too. Justin Bieber sold me some face wash that took the colour out of my towels. Oh. Proactive. Proactive, yeah. That's right. Oh, that ripped the colour right out of my towels.

Bieber actually owes me a set of towels. That's just bleach, babe. This is huge. So now I guess it would be more like fashion, sportswear, lifestyle. Yeah, like accommodation, like travel. Accommodation, travel. So much lifestyle tiptoes, though. Yeah, it does. Lifestyle tiptoes travel. So much lifestyle tiptoes though. Yeah, it does.

Lifestyle tiptoes. There's some claims that lifestyle products make that won't be able to be made. That's so crazy. And that's going to be great for anyone that you follow that you find annoying always posting that. Yeah, who's just like this. Have the skinny T.

Yeah, this is why my skin looks like this and not the Botox I get once a month. Somebody said, what if they're doctors as well as influencers? Well, like we've said, they can't be paid. They can say this works because of that. Yes. But they can't be paid to say it. They can't be paid to say it.

It can't be hashtag sponsored by La Roche-Posay. You know, like it has to be. What did you just say? La Roche-Posay. I don't think you can say that on the radio. But yeah, this is huge. This is crazy. Could they be given like a free, like...

Oh, so they're given free product. They're given free product. But then they'll still have to clarify that they got that for free. But it's still payment though. No, look, the TGA, so they're sort of broadcasting people. Not broadcasting. What is it? Advertising people.

Yeah. Advertising people. Explains that the rules apply whether a payment is disclosed or not. So whether they say hashtag partner, hashtag sponsored, hashtag gifted, even if the testimonial made by the influencer is genuine, they still can't do it.

So you can't even talk about going like, hey guys, this is my hand cream, it makes me all soft and stuff. Wow, that's the Therapeutic Goods Administration in Australia. Wow. So like, you just can't say that this product in my hot little hand will do

anything. God. What about their discount codes? What if they don't think of the codes? Listen, this bans also extend to those with expertise in the field, including current and former health practitioners, health professionals and medical researchers. Wow, I think that's kind of cool. And people that have

spent 20 minutes on Google. Well, they have done their own research. They have done their own research and I think we should all do our own research because the government is actually trying to lie to us through these brands. So do your own research. Do you think that'll happen here then? Well, we changed stuff only a couple So do your own research Do you think that'll happen here then? Maybe

Well we changed stuff Only a couple of years ago About like Declaring When things You've got to say If it's sponsored And yeah that kind of thing

Spawned and all that kind of stuff And transparency around that And then we've got to pay tax On things like that And I don't know Huh Alright well if you follow Some Aussie influencers

Yeah maybe they just Won't see It's a dark day They'll be shitting They'll be shitting bricks Send them a little DM Like thinking you're bad Huh. All right. Well, if you follow some Aussie influencers. Yeah, maybe they just want to see. It's a dark day. They'll be shitty. They'll be shitty bricks. Send them a little DM, like, thinking you're bad. Oh, God, Ashley, I hope you're okay.

Can I use your discount code one last time? All right. Our silly little poll is next. How do we feel about the ends of loaves of bread? What do you call them? The big crust? The crusty bits. Silly Little Pole today is all about those ends of the loaves of bread. You know what I'm talking about.

It's got a different name. People call them different things. We always just call them crusts. Crubs. Crubs? Crubs. Somebody messaged saying Americans call them the heel of the bread. Oh, yeah, because I've just Googled, yeah.

End piece or heel. Other popular terms included butt or crust. Butt. Butt. The loaf butt. We always called them dad slices growing up because dad would eat them. Yeah. Poor dad.

I'll be honest, most of the time I throw them out. So do I. But because I don't eat a lot of toast, I'll freeze it. So they're always good just to put on the end. Yeah. So it doesn't make the bit go crusty. Yeah, we always keep them. The last one's left. And then you put on the end. Yeah. So it doesn't make the bit go crusty. Yeah, we always keep them. The last one's left.

And then you just chuck them out. Yeah. I mean, if I had ducks outside my apartment, I'd probably give them to the ducks. I have been known to make a crouton out of them. Oh, yeah, great for that. You know what I mean? Here's a little secret.

Toast them, like in the toaster. Yeah. Not too, you've got to really watch it, though, because you don't want to go in too hard. Give yourself, you're eating the ends of the bread, so butter and calories don't count. Okay. And then you put on heaps of butter and then you like really go to town on something like marmalade. Oh, okay.

It's the best piece of bread for a marmalade. Why? Because it can hold so much marmalade. Because it's kind of cupped. It can't, like if you put too much marmalade in an ordinary piece of bread. Yeah, exactly. It'll go through or the bread won't be able to hold it. Or you've got to over toast the toast so that it's got the structural integrity to be really loaded down with marmalade.

Whereas that end piece will play the game. Also great for a folded sandwich. Okay. With lots of cheese. It does depend on the bread, though, doesn't it? Like, an end piece of a soft loaf, I can come around to if I need to. I'm really craving a piece of toast.

But like the end of a Vogel's, that thing is going to like, oh yum, that's going to murder your mouth. Oh. Because it's already a harder bread when you toast it.

And then the end. Well, how does the nation feel about the bread butt? We asked, do you chuck them or do you eat them? 62% of people throw them out.

Yeah. What a wasteful little wasters we are. Yeah. Food waste, guys. We know we are. Oh, think about our vegetable drawers. What, am I eating like 30% of that stuff and then chucking out the rest? Give them to me, I'll feed it to the pigs or the chickens.

There you go. The chickens love the bread, the pigs love your veggies. Do you really want us to bring in our sort of expired Going off vegetables? We'll just bring in a slop bucket And we'll add our I'll have a compost bin here We should get a compost bin going at work

Get some worms, get some wormweed coming out Where are you putting it? Outside No, absolutely not It doesn't get the sun Because you can't have your compost, you can't have your worm bin in the sun. In the direct sun it'll cook your worms and then it'll really stink. But we asked, yeah, we asked if you were eating them or throwing them out and the majority of you were throwing them out,

but here is some feedback. Okay. Cody writes, I'd buy a bag of crusts if Vogel's just sold crusts. Really? Oh, no. Yeah. Because of the way they curve, the edges get too close to the grill. To the toaster.

To the toast plate. I've got a friend that works for Goodman Fielder, who do Vogel's. He's always after a marketing idea. Give them some customer feedback. If you're on your e-bike, he might be on his e-bike. Might be on his e-bike already. Is he an e-biker? He's an e-biker.

He's looking very svelte, as usual. He's got a cycling body. But that as usual. He's got a cycling body. But that's why. He's got a tight quad. A man who works in carbohydrates. He's got a tight little body. He's got a tight body. Doesn't make any sense to me.

He's got a tight little body. Three kids at home and a tight little bod. Jesus. Works with bread. Tight little bod. It does not compute. Tight little bod. Looks absolutely fantastic in a nice slim fitting-fitting pair of business pants.

I love it. Tucks it in. Not a belly to be seen. If I worked for a carbohydrate company, I'd be a tubby little man. I would look like a carbohydrate. But I'm going to hit him with this. Yeah. I'm going to approach him with this Vogel's Ends.

Yeah. Vogel's Ends. Vogel's Ends. And give it a Lord of the Rings bit of a feel. It's got a bit of a Hobbit situation going on, doesn't it? You pay a lot of money. I mean, we'll have to absolutely pay the J.R.R. Tolkien estate. Yeah.

I think that's our third great marketing idea on the show this morning. So Cody wants to buy a bag of Vogel's ends. Yeah. Chelsea said, I'm gluten free, so low costs even more, but I still throw them out. She throws out the end of the gluten free? Yuck. I mean, you can't tell me that that's any less cardboardy

than the rest of the gluten-free bread. It's all cardboard. It's one big stodgy loaf of cardboard. Katie says, who the, and she uses the full F word. Right. Who the F can afford to throw away any food at the moment with supermarket prices the way they are? Maybe, could you keep all

of your ends in the freezer in a bag and then make some stuffing? Oh! How good is stuffing? Good idea from me. Do I have the stuffing recipe for you? Oh my God. I only just recently found out my mum doesn't like stuffing. Oh,

Bev does a good stuffing. This stuffing my friend makes has like cranberries in it, bread. You don't stuff anything in it, you just make the stuffing. Yeah, Bev does a good stuffing. This stuffing my friend makes has like cranberries in it, bread. You don't stuff anything in it. You just make the stuffing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course. And it's got sausages in it.

Oh. Sausage meat. Sausage meat. So you cut the skin open and squeeze out the sausage. Squeeze out the meat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's so good.

I'm going to send it to you. Yeah, yeah. That would be pretty hard. Mel writes, the crust in the first two slices and the last two slices I won't eat. The last, no, that's four slices. That's six slices all up.

Yeah, but four good slices you're throwing out. What, just because the crust has touched them? Yeah. That's how much she doesn't like the crust. Although, sometimes, do you know, they miss the, this is another thing you can pass on to your tight-bodied friend at the breed.

At the top, top to bottom. Top to bottom tight. Sometimes the cutter, the slicer, misses the crust, and then your first slice is a bit of... Yeah, it's got a bit of crust. It's a bit of crust on it. It's a bit of crust.

Yeah. You feel a bit short-changed. Mm. Or is it using more of the life? Because then you're just not eating the very end of it. Yeah, that's a good way of looking at it. So she chucks out the crust, the first two slices, the last two slices,'re just not eating the very end of it. Yeah, that's a good way of looking at it. So she chucks out across the first two slices,

the last two slices and I always take the bread from the middle and leave the kids the bits I won't eat. Wow. Nothing wrong with the bed, just me being a fussy ass bitch.

Yeah, I was going to say. She said it before we did. Yeah. Fussiness. Jess says, I cook those pieces for my boyfriend because I refuse to eat them.

So she's, do you want some toast, babe? Yeah. And then she'll chuck home a cup. I hope you're really slathering it with butter and marmalade. Yeah. I'm Paddington Bear over here with my marmalade. I can't get enough of it. You are. I hated it when I was a kid. Now

I just love that tangy bitterness. Kind of like, you know, my life. Nicole writes, no one eats them and then touching them to get to the bed is so gross. Yeah. She won't even touch them. Oh, really? She won't even finger touching them To get to the bed Is so gross Yeah She won't even touch them Oh really She won't even finger them down

To get to the loaf You just use the plastic To finger them down Do you not even finger them down You're using the plastic as well Don't be scared of the crust No I'll finger the I'll finger them down

On the other one Right I don't even know How to say that name Clodagh Only if they're thick And then have them toasted With lots of butter

There you go. I don't know if I've mentioned my marmalade, Pershaun, but get a bit of marmalade on top of that. Bad boy as well. And Josh says, eat them. They're great for toast and toasted sandwiches because they can hold in all the super hot ingredients. Oh, I don't know if I'd do a toasted sandwich with a crust.

No, it's too much. Because you want the outside to get that buttery. The butter wouldn't soak in as well. It wouldn't soak in enough. Well, we are throwing it out, aren't we? Wasteful. Entitled and wasteful. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

I made a controversial move in the kitchen area yesterday at my house. You did. And I told you about this this morning. And you were... I'm dubious. I'm dubious. I'm dubious that it's actually going to do the thing that you're hoping it's doing. I ran out of the squirty hand soap in the kitchen. Yes.

The squirty bottle. And so the pump thing. Where you'd wash your hands. Yeah. And so, because, you know, I love a bit of bulk buying. So I went into the laundry area and I didn't have any more hand soap. Do you have a funnel for your big bottles to your small bottles? Yeah, I've got a funnel.

Do you have a soap funnel specifically or do you use that funnel, wash it and then maybe do a sauce one as well? No, I don't use the soap funnel for the sauce. You've got a specific soap funnel. I've got separate funnels. I've got one funnel. One funnel fits all. One funnel because then you'll wash it.

You'll funnel soap and then funnel... Yeah, but you'll wash it between. Yeah, but you'll wash things with dish soap. No, that's weird. You've got to have separate funnels. I mean, funnels aren't $400 each. They're literally... You can buy a three pack at the $2 shop.

I'm not usually out and thinking, oh, grab a pack of funnels. Well, next time you see a funnel, grab a pack of funnels. One funnel fits all. Next time you see a funnel, buy a funnel for your soap. Because I freeballed last night from a really big jug of tomato sauce into a tiny, one of those wadis ones that sits upside down

so the sauce is always near the squirty bit. Is it free-eyed? Free-balled? Free-poured. Free-poured? Whatever it was. Free-balled? From a big jug oh without going but you know how the first one you've got to like give it a squeeze

to get there and he goes yeah there was no over spill it was an absolutely perfect pour I wish someone had seen it well I didn't have any like bulk by hand wash

but I did have another container of body wash like a little wee hand pumpy one and I was like it's soap. You would, in the shower, you would use it on your hands and your body.

So now in my kitchen, I have a body wash for a hand wash. But where does the line cross over from a hand wash? I think it's around the antiseptic qualities, antibacterial qualities of your soap. Hand soap's harsher than body wash, right? Yeah. Yeah, but it's still cleaning you. Because you don't antiseptic your armpits. But the soap before wasn't like, it's not one of those 99.9% antibacterial hand washes.

I don't like those. It's just a bouge soap. It's just a bouge soap. A gentle bouge soap. So what's the difference? When does a body wash become a body wash? I'd say what's the difference between body wash? Past the wrists.

And hand wash. Oh, no. Sometimes when you do a hand wash, you best go up to the elbows. Yeah, maybe the elbow. You're not going into surgery. You're not on Grey's Anatomy. Do you not wash up to your elbows the whole time? Or if I'm in the shower.

No, but if you're... No, no. Oh, with the wrists. Or just do hands and maybe the wrists. Or if I'm in the shower. No, but if you're... No, no, if you've been out... Oh, with the wrists. I'll just do hands and maybe the wrists. Yeah, I'm hands and wrists, actually. I've jumped teams. You're not doing your whole fourie. Why are you doing your fouries?

At home, I'm going up to the elbow. Like you're about to go... Like you're Dr. Chris Warner. Yeah. Right up to the elbow at home. Do you walk through your door backwards with your hands up? Oh, see, here you go. It's all about the moisturising qualities.

You're right. Hand wash is a lot harsher. It tends to dry out your skin. But body wash has a lot of extra moisturiser. But it's still got the cleaning stuff in there. I mean, it's all cleaning you. But it's not, I don't think, especially in a COVID time, I don't think body wash is going to clean your hands and remove germs.

Yeah, well, we've started the COVID kitty. We're the first of us. The first one to get it gets the kitty. Well, I reckon you've gone up because now we know that you're not washing your hands properly. Yeah, you're $1.20 now. I'm $1.20? Yeah, you're $1.25. You live in the absolute hot pot of central Auckland COVID.

Didn't your youngest isolate in her room last night? She did, yeah. There was a little bit of in-home panic about COVID at our house yesterday. Right, because it's what, ripping through the schools? Yeah, there's some kids at the school with it. Right, so you're $1.05. I think it's going to happen.

Oh, I've got to be, I've got to almost be $1 flat. I've got kids. $0.09 at some point. This is actually an incredibly awful story. So I'll try to peep it up a bit with a couple of gags. Okay.

I don't know how. There's a woman who was looking for love online. She was an American woman. Went on TikTok to share her experience of a recent Bumble date she went on.

Okay. She went on the date and, you know, it was fine. Absolute, had a match and like good chat, good banter. And then the guy messaged and she was like, oh, you know, it was fine, absolute, had a match and, like, good chat, good banter.

And then the guy messaged and she was like, oh, you know, like we could meet up after work but I'll be in scrubs because I'm, like, coming. She was a nurse. I'm coming straight from work. And he was like, look, I can't wait to meet you. You're so beautiful. We're at around 7-ish work.

She's like, oh, okay, why not, you know, in my work uniform, ha, ha, ha. And he said, I'm sure you'll look beautiful either way. I'm a lucky guy to even get to take you out. You know, I'm going, all right. You're keen. All right, Don Juan. Here we go. So they went on their day.

It was absolutely fine. Oh, my God. No, they didn't go on their date. I'm sorry. I've misled you here. So this exchange happened and then she gets another message. So the message is a photo of herself in a bikini

that he's taken from her social media profile and the message says, nah bro, she's a solid four and I would for sure keep it on the low but desperate times call for desperate measures and beggars can't be choosers. All I saw was, four and I would for sure keep it on the low but desperate times call for desperate measures and beggars can't be choosers all I saw was I'm not even gonna say the second part because it's absolutely so derogatory it's embarrassing immediately after so that she he sends this

about her to her so he's obviously meant to send that to his friend yeah he would have been like the friend he would have been like the friend you, are you going on a date tonight with that chick? Is she hot? Nah, mate. She's not. She is. She's gorgeous. And then immediately sends her, damn, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to send that to you. I was actually talking about someone else and clicked your picture on accident.

No, you weren't. No, you didn't. Oh my gosh. That's so embarrassing. You piece of garbage. So she just like Went in and was like You Don't Obviously we're not

Going on this date anymore Do we have a picture of him A piece of He must be a solid ten No I don't And he's dishing out These Guys that

Talk about women In such a manner Often are Boy Absolute oil paintings Thank god she didn't Even go on this date Thank god she didn't

Go on this date With this guy. Dodged a bullet there. The sentence I'm leaving out is so bad. He's absolutely disgusting. And just that backtracking, which I've done before. Oh, I'm trying to think about. It would have been like 10 years ago talking about someone

sending it in a group chat that they're in, not the group chat that they're not in. And I'm not proud of this. And then going, ah, jokes. As if I would talk about you like that. And everybody knows it wasn't a joke. Everyone knows it wasn't a joke. Everyone's just like, you sent that to the wrong chat, didn't you?

Honestly, it makes me. But it's easy to do because you're talking about this person to whoever you're wanting to send the message to, but then because they're top of the mind, you accidentally send it to them. Yeah, like when your mind's an autopilot and you're like, oh yeah, I'm going to send it to Carl Fletcher.

Thinking about them. I'm talking about them. It's the same. I'd like to know if there's a name for that when you sort of like passively absorbing what's happening around you. Like when you're writing something and someone's talking about something and you start typing the words you'd be saying to them or a word that they say. There's got to be a, if you're a brain man or woman or person. Or a linguist.

A linguist brain man person. I'm somewhat of a linguist. You can tell by the fact I called a person who works in the brain a brain person. Yeah, right. It's like when you send an email saying, please find attached. And now Gmail's like, it looks like you didn't attach. And you're like, thank you.

Does Gmail hook it up now? It's amazing. How many times have you said like, please find attached my da-da-da-da. And then they email back saying like, not attached. You're like, oh my God, here we go again. Now Gmail stops you saying like,

it looks like you've said attached. No document attached. We wanted to ask this morning, have you ever done this? I don't know if I'm ready to hear it because it just makes me so uncomfortable. It's so bad. Because you want to just dig a hole and just get in it, right? I know.

And usually, I mean, maybe you've got a time where you were talking about someone in a nice way or you were surprising them or something. But generally, let's be honest, we're bitching about them. Yeah. And that's not very nice. But let's just get it out. Let's just get it out there and share these painful experiences. A woman in

America received a message from a potential bumble date, and he was talking about her, accidentally sent it to her. Yeah, called her a four. Called her a four. Jeepers. Georgie, you were the receiver of a message not meant for you. Yes, I

was, but it was quite a nice one. So it's quite good. Okay, this is good. This is good because this is stressing me out. Yeah, I was sat next to my partner on the sofa, just at home, minding my own business, and up pops a WhatsApp message of an engagement ring in a group with me and my brother and him.

And, like, the ding went off loud, and he kind of... I looked at him and he looked at me, and his face just fell. He was like... Oh, that's so nice! He was sending it to get some thoughts on it to some other people where they thought it was nice or all good.

And, yeah, I mean, I still haven't received it yet. It was pretty blingy, so I guess he's still saving. But it was good. Oh, you haven't even been proposed to yet? No, but apparently it's coming. Oh, my God. Well, no, because he wants you to forget about it or think it's not going to happen or that he's changed his mind.

And then, you know. Well, exactly. He could just keep me hanging on for a few more years with that now, you know. It could just be time to go. Yeah, wow. Well, that's a nice wrong message, isn't it? Thanks, Georgie.

Regan, you were on the receiving end of a message not meant for you? My sister actually sent a message to someone that wasn't meant to receive it. It was hilarious. About 15 years ago, my dad was dating this lady who used to wear her pants quite high. And my sister was out with them one day and she sent a text message to my dad saying, Oh my goodness, look at so-and-so's camel toe. She accidentally sent it to the lady, the girlfriend. Oh my God.

Do people with a camel toe know that they've got one? Because it's hard to see from the other angle. You can't see. You'd have to identify it in a mirror. Have you ever camel toed? Absolutely. She had no idea what a camel toe was, and they had to weasel their way out of what this message meant.

It was so awkward. There's too many layers to it. So not only do they have to say, oh, that wasn't meant for you, this is what a camel toe is, and you have it. Wow. Brilliant, Regan. Thanks for your call. Some messages in. I'm a beauty therapist, and I accidentally messaged a client

rather than my friend. The content of the text was a terrible description of his genitalia and how he had hit on me but there's no way I'd ever date a man with a diddle like that. Oh no! Are they self-employed

or employed by a bigger company because they surely would lose his job. He messaged me back thinking it was a joke and that I was hilarious and we should totally go for a date.

Oh thank God. You'd have to go for a date. You'd have to go for a date. You'd have to go for a date just to cover it up. Just to cover that up. Even knowing what was underneath. Yeah. So there's a Tupperware lady

who's trying to force me to have a Tupperware party. Is that still a thing? Big Tupperware. The Tupperware mafia. Oh, okay. And that's the thing. If you cross the Tupperware mafia,

you'll be sealed in one. Yeah, you will. Forever. And they'll try to drain you in the harbour, but it'll float. It'll float Yeah

No matter how many rocks You put in Because that's how good The seal is on Tupperware Do you guys What are you doing this weekend You want to come to a Tupperware Absolutely not

I didn't know how to tell her I didn't want to And she kept going And kept on about the Tupperware So I text her And told her that I was busy And blah blah blah Sorry for the inconvenience

Then I added I'm not sorry at all You crazy bitch And forwarded it Onto who I thought Was my mum With the screen cap, but I sent it to her instead.

I bet she stopped, though. Yeah. Yeah. That's one way to stop a big tupperware. I accidentally sent a text to a friend called Rebecca saying that our other friend Rebecca's husband was not a nice man and I hated him and he gave me the creeps, but I sent it to the Rebecca that was married to the man.

That's too many Rebeccas. That's so bad. After I've done it, I think we talked about this the other day, like I'm so conscious of it now, like so worried, that if I'm talking about someone, even being a little bit catty, I'll quickly check my phone just to make sure I haven't accidentally pocket dialed them. Check it, check it. My friend James does this all the time.

We'll be talking about someone and he'll just pick up his phone just to see it's not dialed pocket dialed them. Check it, check it. My friend James does this all the time. We'll be talking about someone and he'll just pick up his phone just to see it's not dialed. Me too! All the time! Driving in the car. Just to make sure they're not listening.

Driving in the car talking about someone and I'll always pick up my phone and Shade's like, what are you doing? I'm like, well, imagine if my phone's just dialed them

because we're saying your name. Yeah. Yeah. It's a terrible feeling. Not that Shade and I ever bitch about anything. Oh my God. Some other messages.

I was on a very average date with a guy that ended with a super awkward kiss. I said goodbye, walked away, took out my phone and texted my bestie about how awful the date was but sent it to the guy that I was literally walking away from. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Bought tools for the garage when my wife told me I wasn't allowed to buy any more tools. But I did it anyway. I was mad trash talking about my wife to a mate but I sent it to my wife told me I wasn't allowed to buy any more tools but I did it anyway and I was mad trash talking about my wife

to a mate but I sent it to my wife instead. To your wife? She said nothing only sent me a selfie of her eyes with a look

that could have pierced the sun. Yeah, no more tools for at least six months after that. Naughty. I'm currently going through a personal

grievance case against my old work because I was sent an email that was meant for my manager. Oh, you've got the evidence. It was about me, yeah. So there you go. They're trying to manage you out of the polls. You can't do it in the workplace.

No. No. I accidentally sent an explicit meme from the girl-related After Dark page. Which have you ever been on? I've seen, like, friends have showed me some of the stuff on that After Dark page. Girls After Dark. What is it? Girls After Dark.

Are you not on this page? Oh, you simply must. It is wild. Is this a branch of the Girls Get Off page? No. No, no, no. What's that page? That's a New Zealand brand.

No, no, no. That's a New Zealand brand. Oh, right. No, this is just a page. Anyway, I sent a very dark meme to a school group chat. I got three messages from the other mums before I could take it down. Are guys allowed to join that page just for the lulz? No, no, no.

You're not even allowed to talk about it. Are you guys in the group? Ladies, are we in the group? It's made community notices a couple of times, and boy, have we heard about it. I'm joining the group. We don't now. We give that a wide berth. Well, you probably won't get accepted.

Your membership is pending. We just talked about it probably won't get accepted. Your membership is pending. Why? Because you've just talked about it. I mean, your membership is pending. I reckon by tomorrow, welcome to Girls After Dark, I got accepted. Okay. Oh, my God! Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. One petit conundrum that I, I don't know. I don't know what to do. I was going through my wardrobe because there's too many clothes in there. Too many clothes and I hate them all.

I'm at that point in my wardrobe, you know. Are you a hoarder? No, I'm not a hoarder. I'm a collector. That's just a different name for a hoarder. Okay. Collector of fashion. Nothing fits.

So I just don't know whether to hold on to it and just keep hoping. Well, it's always good to have a goal. Yeah, always good to have a goal. But anyway, at the back of my wardrobe is some very well looked after bridesmaids' dresses. I've been a bridesmaid four times at this point. Wow. Always the bridesmaid. Yeah.

Always the bridesmaid. And I've kept three of the dresses. What happened to the fourth? The first one, I mean, it was like over 10 years ago. Okay. Moths Yeah, I don't know where they went Okay, it's gone

You've got to have moth balls I don't know where they went Okay, these are dresses You're never going to wear them again, are you? Well, one of them No, definitely not Okay, is it purple? No, it's pink

But it's like It's um I don't know if it's I don't know Bosom heavy? Yeah, yeah, yeah You're indicating a lot of bosom there With that hand action It's, I don't know if it's, I don't know. Bosom heavy? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're indicating a lot of bosom there with that hand action. It's titty heavy.

It is like quite showy. It's like, check these out. I'm like, at the time, I was like loving BAPs out energy. I'm not sure if I'd wear it again. Your BAP energy changed? And also just like, it has, it has. I'm much more high neck. I don't go anywhere formal enough.

Right, yeah. And I don't think I can wear it to a wedding because there's so many photos of me in these dresses as a bridesmaid. And also similar friend groups, they'll see you at the wedding and know that that's an old bridesmaid's dress. I'll be like,

isn't that Jess's bridesmaid's dress? Yeah. They'll be like, yeah it is. Okay. But I don't know. There's something about it that like these women, obviously I'm very close to them.

They're my best friends. I was their bridesmaid. But I just, I'm not going to wear them. And I have a block of being able to just sort of. Who paid for them? Actually on all three of the dresses that I still have, we went 50-50. Bride paid half.

I paid half. See, I think you can sell them then because she paid to ensure you got what she wanted, but you paid to help out your friend because you were keeping it at the end. You fulfilled your duty to her. It's now 100% your dress. Sell it if you don't want it.

Is that your conundrum? You don't know whether to throw them out or to sell them? I don't know whether to No, no. Keep them forever as my ongoing duty to the bride. Yeah. Or I think I would sell them. They're like fancy.

How much would they be worth if you don't mind me? One of them would be worth like $300 or $400. $300? She's environmentally sustainable and it costs. The other two may be a little bit cheaper. But they could be worn for a formal occasion. Or do they look like a bridesmaid's dress? A third option.

Yep. Aaron could take me to more balls. Okay, that's not happening. More sort of formal occasions. Yeah, okay. Some sort of high school balls. I also sort of imagined as well, like, when I got into TV, that I'd be going to more glamorous events.

But I don't get invited to any of them. It's probably more on you. But also there's been a real dry patch of glamorous events for the last two years. There has. It's the New Zealand TV Awards tonight and I'll be in my pyjamas. Good. So, okay, so there's definitely a market for the sale,

but it's more of an ethical, a moral question. Can you sell them on air? Can I use my platform here? No. So one of them is a beautiful pink sort of strap. Unless we're going to take a cut. And then the company will probably want to cut it. I don't know.

There's just something about it. It's the emotional tie. Yeah, I get that. Like, I just feel like, for me to go like, oh, I'm done with this dress. It's like, do you still have that dress?

The dress that was on my special day? No. Any of these marriages? I don't know. No, no. They're all still married? Yeah, the first one. Okay.

And that's that dress? The first one is the dress that I don't own. That wedding, we've just all pretended it didn't happen. That's gone. That's already gone. We've all been to weddings we pretended didn't happen. Beautiful marriages.

Okay. Well, we put a poll up. Is it okay to sell your bridesmaid's dress? Okay, tell me. You can. I think you can sleep easy. You can sell without any kind of guilt or bad feelings. 91% said yeah for sure

it's fine. Why is this getting away at me for years? 9% saying it's rude. See that's how it feels. It feels rude. Some messages. Somebody said I just binned mine. That's the thing. I could cut it into rags. You could cut it into rags.

Somebody else said you can donate them to people who run high school ball charities for girls who can't afford ball dresses. Oh, that's a great idea. But you said it's too... One of them? So one of them's going to come home and be like, Dad, I know we couldn't afford a ball dress, but I got this from ZM's Hayley Sproul. And he's going to be like, no, you're not wearing that. Look, your nungs are falling out.

One of them is super nungy. No, you're right. Some girls might like that. Other ones are a little bit more classy. And then you can go on about your charity. My charity. I know you don't like to go on about your charity. I don't like to go on and on about it,

but I was unable to put coins into the coin jar earlier because I did give them away to someone on the street. So this could also add to my charitable work for the week. Oh, that's what I'm going to do. That's an absolutely amazing course. Three beautiful dresses worn once coming their way. Oh, bride for the week. Oh, that's what I'm going to do. That's an absolutely amazing course. Three beautiful dresses worn once coming their way. Oh, bride to the show. My bridesmaid tried selling the dress from our wedding.

I found it when I saw the listing on Marketplace. So that's, I guess, the good thing about donating them is if they ever say, what happened to that dress? Be like, I donated it to a charity that helps people get to balls that wouldn't usually be able to afford ball gowns versus seeing their blanked out face in their wedding photos on a Facebook marketplace listing. Huckery dress that don't fit anymore.

Too much tit. $50. Great solution. Thank you, listeners. Yes. Well, how often should you replace your pillow? When did I move to Auckland? Let me start with when did you all replace your pillows?

Very recently. Same. Is it because we got new beds at the same time? No, it was well after that. I felt my old pillow wasn't providing me the support I needed. Oh, is that when you had your bad neck? Yeah. I changed pillows.

Okay. I reckon we are coming up two years. But we have a pillow protector on. I don't know if that helps. It's the same, eh? Well, according to experts, you should be replacing your pillow once a year. Two years absolute max. Okay.

I reckon I'm close to three. I reckon I'm close to three. I'm talking about house. Six months is when your pillow kind of, you've broken it in. It takes ages to break in a pillow. To get used to it, it gets used to you. Yeah, get a bit of a dent. Get your familiar spots. So, yeah, they reckon that it's the dust mites that cause like a myriad of health issues. They could be causing acne.

They could be causing like sore throats, bad necks. I remember this. Just the saggy old pillows as well. It was a big thing when I had acne. Everyone would always say, are you changing your pillows? But you change your pillowcase like weekly, right? I change my pillowcase

every week. But then that's the thing, where does a protector, if you have a protector, a pillow protector, so you have pillow, pillow protector and then pillowcase,

do you wash your pillow protectors what? Every season. Oh, I was going to say every second wash of the pillowcase. Every season? Yeah, I reckon I'm every season. Every, so we do to say every second wash of the pillowcase. Every season? Yeah, I reckon I'm every season. We do a spring

clean each season. Right, but then the dust might still get through all of that, don't they? Oh, those pillows. They'll be feral at this point. Let's cross now to producer Jared. Hello. Hello. You knew this was coming. Are you guys ready for this?

When did you last change your pillow, Producer Jared? I've had the same pillow since we moved to New Zealand 21 years ago. Oh, Jared! So your pillow is one giant dust mite now. Yeah, you brought a South African pillow. What did you buy it here? No, from Namibia. So how old was it in Namibia?

I don't know. I can't remember. A secondhand pillow. A dusty sack? how old was it in Namibia? I don't know. I can't remember. A second hand pillow. A dusty sack? What sack is it in? It's brown. What? No.

Dribble stains? It's probably got some dribble stains in it. That's disgusting. Jared. But I have like a pillow case protector. Yeah, a pillow protector.

Yeah, a pillow protector. Why are you protecting that piece of shit? It's old. I can't sleep without that pillow. Really? Is it a comfort, like a familiar friend? Yeah, it keeps the cold in such a way that other pillows don't.

Grow up. If I need a thin pillow, it's fine. If I need a thick pillow, I fold it in half. Now, what's the inner workings? Is it a foam? Duck down. Oh, okay. You know you can buy, like, a new duck down pillow.

Not the same. What does the midi make of this 21-year-old pillow? Or have you not brought this up until now? She's seen it, but I don't think she knew how old it was. Oh, it's gone now. She's not letting that stay. There are people listening to the show that weren't born. When that pillow was made. Yeah, it's the only thing I've

got still from... But you can keep it as a sort of, you know, memory. I don't think you should be sleeping on it anymore. I'm going to keep sleeping on it. Jared, you're a working professional and we care about you and your health and your well-being. That pillow

has made me immune to all the diseases. I think it's giving you diseases. I don't know if it's making you... That pillow saw the Twin Towers fall. Yeah, it did. Saw me get dumped by my first girlfriend. Oh, it carries the tears of your first love. It says, ears got ducked down, stained with tears.

Pretty stained with a lot of things. The way I used to treat my pillow when I was young. Alright. Fact of the day is next. Play. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's Fact of the Day is another fact about the Ukrainian president. Because after we had yesterday's Fact of the Day about how we won 2006's first season of Ukrainian Dancing with the Stars. Yep. In which she was very good. Very good dancer. Quick on the feet.

Very quick on the feet. I was messaged by multiple people because they know my love since I was a small boy for Paddington Bear. Yes. I loved Paddington Bear books when I was a kid. When we were in the UK, I bought a Paddington Beer from Paddington Station. Oh, wow. And then, well, imagine my joy when the Paddington movies came out

and they were absolute masterpieces. That's so good. Paddington 2, one of the finest films you'll ever lay your eyes upon. And somebody said to me, do you also know Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky was the voice of Paddington Beer in the Ukrainian translation of Paddington Beer? That's the voice of Paddington? Yeah.

Paddington's a man. That's a low voice. It's a grunty. He's got to be a bear, doesn't he? He's a grizzly bear. Yeah, he is. I don't know if he's a grizzly bear. No, he's not a grizzly. He's a bear.

Well, he came from Peru, which I didn't know that was. I also said that like Mike Peru, didn't I? Yeah, yeah. Peru. No, because that sounded too much like Mike Pero. No, that's Pero. Peru. South Peru.

Peru. Do they curl their arse? Peru. Peru. Peru. Peru. Peru. Peru.

And Paddington Bear from Peru. Wow. Wow, okay. Yeah, so he was the voice of Paddington Bear And Paddington Bear from Bero. Wow, okay. Yeah, so he was the voice of Paddington Bear in Paddington Bear 1 and 2. And now he's leading his country in a war against Russia. Yeah. Which only seems to get crazier by the minute. Yeah, the latest this morning, there were peace talks, and they've all gone away now to talk that through.

In neutral territory. Yeah. But, again, still fresh fighting this morning in regions. And a lot of residents in shelters. To a quick resolution. I wonder if he'll use his Paddington Bear voice at the peace tour. He's been such a, he's so bright.

Good leader. A really great leader. Yeah. Like he's fronting up. He is fronting up. I would be terrified to roll into Kiev. Am I pronouncing that? That was another thing. I thank you for all the links yesterday explaining that Kiev, which is how I always thought it was said,

is the Russian pronunciation. And since they've really made a stand of being we are Ukraine, we are our own country. Kiev. They've gone back to the traditional spelling and the traditional pronunciation of it. The mayor of Kiev. The boxing guy.

Imagine coming around the corner if you're a Russian soldier and seeing Klinshko. You see a Klinshko standing there just being like out. I'd be like, mm-hmm. Bye. Absolutely. Back to St. Petersburg for me. Today's fact of the day is the Ukrainian president is also the voice of Paddington Bear in the Ukraine.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. ZDM. Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Avril Lavigne. She's got new music. Eh. I don't think we'll be playing it.

I don't know. I don't know that we'll be playing it. But Avril Lavigne was being interviewed with Vogue and she was sharing that she has a Hello Kitty bedroom in her house where everything is Hello Kitty. A big Hello Kitty bed, a big Hello Kitty pink couch, Hello Kitty stuffed animals everywhere, gifts from fans, Hello Kitty things. Because she had a song called Hello Kitty in 2014 or something.

Oh, she must love Hello Kitty. You're assuming she loves Hello Kitty things because she had a song called Hello Kitty in 2014 or something. she must love Hello Kitty. Are you assuming she loves Hello Kitty? Yeah. Okay, is this her main bedroom or a guest bedroom? So it's

a guest bedroom. No, we've got two beds. I've made up both rooms, the Hello Kitty room and the other plane room

that sucks. Do you want to sleep in the Hello Kitty room? I'd go the plane room. So, Hello Kitty takes front and centre in her home, she says. The house was actually built around this room, the theme of this room. It's a massive room.

It also has a stripper pole. Don't know if that's Hello Kitty on brand. Did Hello Kitty ride a stripper pole? Oh, Hello Kitty could get up. She could get up and swing a leg? She could get up, get upside down. It's the guest bedroom and everyone wants to stay in there. Imagine.

No, they don't. No, they don't. Oh, thank you. Just pop your stuff in there and come down for a cuppa. Money doesn't buy taste, eh? No. Money does not buy taste. Why did she have to go and make the room so complicated?

I don't know. See what you did there? It's an Avril song. Yeah, no, it's an Avril song. We know, yeah Don't know. See what you did there? It's an Avril song. Yeah, no, it's an Avril song. We know, yeah, we know. She also collects Doc Martens and tiaras. God, I was that girl once.

Aren't you glad you're not now? I'm so glad I'm not now, but she sort of stopped growing up, didn't she? But now, this Hello Kitty room. You've got all this money. I guess if you had all this money and you were into it, you'd just start You'd just keep getting stuff. You'd buy stuff, wouldn't she? But now, this Hello Kitty room. Well, see, you've got all this money. I guess if you had all this money and you were into it, you'd just start... You'd just keep getting stuff. You'd buy stuff, wouldn't you? I don't know what I'd endlessly collect.

I collected Barbie dolls as a kid. I've got 52 of them, still sitting in my parents' garage. Don't know what to do with them. Ever maybe. I don't want to. You'd probably get a lot of money for them. No, no, no. I play the hell out of them. They're all used.

They're being played. Haircuts and hair dyes and draw on them and rip their eyebrows off and all sorts. Jesus. They're not in good luck. Could you melt them down and make a mega Barbie? I could. Just an idea. Or a chair maybe.

Yeah, get them old. You could make a chair, a nice big chair out of them. Well, that's weird. Yeah, weird collector things. Aaron, I don't know why, but he really enjoyed the, I know why he really enjoyed the Lord of the Rings films, the first three. Was he in any?

Ridiculous, isn't it? Look at the area, massive dude. Massive, curly-looking, Alfie dude. Yeah. No, but he collected all of the Lord of the Rings figurines. Oh, wow, okay. Still got those in a box. Who are we talking?

Taking up space. Everyone. The whole fellowship. I think he's only missing like four or five. Like unopened. Unopened. Oh, wow. So they'd be worth some money.

In the boxes. Okay. Yeah, people will spend money on that one day. Yeah, I know. Do you guys collect anything? He should have made it a Lord of the Rings room. Don't. Don't say that.

No, I don't collect anything. You don't collect anything? You've got made it a Lord of the Rings room. Don't. Don't say that. No, I don't collect anything. You don't collect anything? You've got a few nerd toys, don't you? Mm-hmm. Which have to be put away. You like the bobbles, the pop. Yeah, I like those. But I'm not allowed to put them anywhere.

They're just hidden away. They hide away. Yeah, when you become quite passionate about something, people always get you it as gifts. Yes. Yeah. That was the thing. Aaron, for like 10 straight years, any birthday, Christmas, people were just like, oh, people always get you it as gifts. Yes. Yeah. That was the thing. Aaron, for like 10 straight years,

any birthday, Christmas, people were just like, oh, what ones do you need? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They'd be like, oh, this guy, this guy. And they'd be like, sweet, there you go. Easy. Get him that one.

What's the new old person equivalent of, you know, old nannies and granddads and they always had elephants or dolphins. Dolphins. Dolphins. China dolphins. They had the dolphin things with the magnet in the bottom

and you'd swing them And a dolphin would be like Yeah Swing back and forward Just anything elephant or dolphin There'd be statues And all kinds of pictures and stuff My mum collected eggs for a while

Like concrete eggs Marble eggs Clay eggs Painted art wax eggs Decorative eggs Yeah like decorative eggs You should see our collection of Fabergés, honestly. You've got Fabergés?

Absolutely not. Stolen from the Russian Tsar in the People's Revolution of 1918. No, no Fabergés. Right. It's weird, eh? People just start to sort of gather things together. So we wanted to ask you, listening, what do you collect?

Do you have a weird collection of things in your home that's just sort of gotten out of control? Maybe like Avril Lavigne, you've even themed a room in it. Oh, bonus points if somebody's got a whole room dedicated to the collection. Oh, absolutely. A koala room or something. Well, what about those people that collect pens?

Like, pens. Or like commemorative cups from. Commemorative cups from theme parks. I dare say there'd be a couple of aunties, maybe great aunties out there

with a lot of Princess Di or just royal memorabilia. The royal plates, the commemorative plates every year. Yeah, buy plates

out of that little magazine that fell out of the paper every now and then. It was like, do you like plates? Well, boy, do we have a plate

for you. All right, well, give us a call. 0800 dials at MSN number. You can text as well. 9696. What's your weird collection? Well, Avril Lavigne has revealed her Hello Kitty bedroom. It's as disgusting as you can imagine.

Pink, pink, pink, pink, pink. Big pink couch, Hello Kitty everything. Big pink energy. Probably a Hello Kitty pencil case in there too. Oh, there'll be at least one. We asked you, what do you collect? What's your strange collection? Yeah, bonus points as well if you have a room in your house

or flat dedicated to the collection. We'll start with Charlene. Charlene, is this your dad that is the collector? Yes. A few years ago he kind of took over the living room with his pen collection. Pen? You did say pen.

The living room? Is he one of those people that collects like nice pens or just like throw away Bic pens? It was a collection of business pens, pens that had bits that floated in them. Oh, yes. There were a couple of R18 pens as well. Yeah, where you tip them upside down and the clothes come off. I remember when I was a kid, my

gran always had an Inter-Islander pen and it was a fairy. He had that one. But pens are quite small, so if he's taking over the lounge, he must have a fair few of them. There was about four or five string lines set up over

two walls. Oh my God, blessed dad. And his mum just like doesn't care anymore? Well, she did some renovations a few years ago and the pens mysteriously disappeared. I bet they did. We should send him an NZ Me pen.

I was just going to say. Because he can use the non-ballpoint end on his smart device. Yes, because it's got a little rubber thing on it. Very fancy. I think Dad would love it. Some messages in. Lots and lots of collections. Headphones.

I collect headphones. Oh, why? That's expensive. Expensive, yeah. I have a room for my Disney Cars collection. How old are they? Don't know, but they have a husband who also has a room. Okay.

Oh, wow. I collect Coca-Cola memorabilia. Have been doing so for 40 years. Oh, yeah. And lots of people collect the Maccas toys, too. Oh, of course. Happy Meal toys. Someone said, I collect Golden Circle creaming soda cans. Yum, the best creaming soda. Oh, God course, yeah. Happy Meal Toys. Someone said, I collect Golden Circle creaming soda cans.

Yum, the best creaming soda. Oh, God. We'll get to more of your texts and calls next down under ZM. Avril Lavigne, Blaster in the Past, has revealed her Hello Kitty room in a Vogue interview. Yeah. It's pink and disgusting, and it's got a stripper pole in it. Yeah, the stripper pole seems off-brand.

For Hello Kitty, anyway. For Hello Kitty. Christy, what's the weird collection in your house? It's my husband. He has a huge Lego collection. A few people messaging in on the old Lego collection. That's not cheap though.

No, he's got a whole bedroom full of Lego. Right, does he keep it in the boxes unopened, or does he make them all up? He makes them all up, and he has them all on display. Well, at least he's enjoying it. Yeah, what's his proudest? Does he have, like, a centrepiece, a proud piece? Like a Death Star?

I don't know. I don't even go in that room anymore, because he's got too much. I don't know. I don't even go in that room anymore because he's got too much. I don't even. He loves his minifigures, and I think he told me on the weekend that he's just hit 3,000 minifigures. Oh, my God. That's probably a house deposit there or something, eh?

Don't even think about it. That's a lot of money, Christy. Thanks for your call. Anna, the whole family collects. Yeah, that's right. What do you collect? So, cars. Model cars.

A model car. Does everybody have a sort of a model car they're into? Like Dad takes care of the vintage. Someone's into the 1990s Japanese imports? We're all into the vintage. We're all old souls, but we've all got a favourite, but then we've all got ones we like in common too, so there's always a big fight.

But it's definitely getting pretty ridiculous. I would definitely have a deposit on a house if I... If we sold some of them. As a family, how many do you reckon you have, all up? I would say we're probably getting close to 15,000, 20,000 cars.

Do you mean like little Hot Wheel things? Cars. Yeah, like they do go bigger. But yeah, we've got nine ginormous cabinets and then we've got them in boxes We've got a container full It's ridiculous

How did it start? What was the first one? Well, my husband was the first one He's a rotary fan And got him one And it started from there And then we found that my older son had an obsession too And then it carried on to the little one, and now I'm involved.

Off it went. I mean, you can have actual cars. Yeah. You can have actual cars. Yeah, we definitely could. I could probably have my oldsmobile I've wanted all my life. This is way more fun. Way more fun, yeah.

Drink yourself down and drive one of the many you've already got. Yes. Anna, thank you for your call. Some messages in. My auntie collects Pukeko everything. Really? She's got a Pukeko chess set. I bet she's got a couple of garden ornaments.

Oh, absolutely. She's even got Russian nesting dolls painted up like Pukeko. Oh, okay. I was never allowed dominoes when I was a kid, so I collected Tic Tac boxes and used them. Oh. To make a little... Yeah.

Would you have to put anything in them to make... What do you think they'd tip anyway? I collect wishbones from chickens all in a jar. That's a little bit... Do they wish on them? Do they snap them and wish on them? It doesn't sound like they snap them. Sounds like they've just got to...

Well, they're not lucky. Yeah. That's odd. I collect shot glasses whenever my friends and family go overseas. They bring me a shot glass. Oh, yeah. Someone says, I collect dragons. What about fridge magnets? You know, when you... My parents have got a lot of fridge magnets.

We just went recently magnetless. And I'll tell you what. Oh, yeah, I'm magnetless. Transforms the space. It's good. It's good It's good Yeah we went magnetless But then Every now and then You get a piece of paper And you're like

I need to remember about that So you've got to stick it On the fridge And then you're back With a couple of rogue magnets But they've got to be Strong magnets you see They do

Quality Yeah Lots of people Filling up their Whole houses with collections
