Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley podcast.
It's thanks to McCafe.

It's available now at Macca's.
Well, whenever someone says something, I don't know, pointless, useless, stupid, wrong.
Or something that's already been discussed.
Yeah, they bring it up like it's a new idea,
but it's already in the room.
Or we often tell them to go fuck themselves.
They can take a seat in the go fuck yourself seats,
which are two...
Which we've often called the knock, haven't we?
Yeah, it's been renamed.
Yeah.
The GFY corner.
The go fuck yourself corner.
Yeah.
And you sit there, I I guess for a moment In shame
And just in reflection
Of what you've said and done
It's like a dump
Sometimes even
You'll nominate yourself
Oh should I just go fuck myself
Yeah you go
Take a seat
If you say something
To a little response
Yeah
Should I go fuck myself
Yeah
And I'm sitting there
Well we've just been discussing
We need for the
Go fuck yourself corner
Which has two chairs and a table
We need a plaque
We need a plaque
And a pot plant Yeah that'd We need a plaque And a pot plant

A plaque and a pot plant
Should we shush it up
Give it a full reno
It's a plaque that says
The Go Fuck Yourself Table
Yeah yeah yeah
Or corner
Corner
Yeah
Go Fuck Yourself Corner
Because it'll always be a corner
But we might switch out the chairs
And there might you know
Might be less of a table
More of an ottoman situation
You're also not allowed
To put your feet up on the ottoman
When you're in the
Go Fuck Yourself Corner
If you're sitting there
Recreationally Absolutely Recline Relax Breathe Slouch Yeah Also not allowed to put your feet up on the ottoman when you're in the go fuck yourself corner. If you're sitting there recreationally, absolutely.
Recline.
Relax.
Breathe.
It's your right to do so.
Yeah.
But if you are there because you've been told to go fuck yourself, you've got to keep your feet on the ground.
Yes.
You've got to sit there like a stupid dunce.
Yeah.
No poofy ottomans for you, my friends.
Well, we'll get a plaque and a little bit of a-
Plaque and a plant.
What about a hat?
You could put the hat on as well.
Oh, the hat's maybe too much.
Is it too far?
You think it's too embarrassing.
Like a dunce cat.
Like a hat that says, don't talk to me, I'm currently fucking myself.
I'm on the way to fuck myself.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, great.
Give me a minute.
So those are our plans.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's all we've got on the boil.
What are you guys up to?
Love a bit of DIY.
Love a plot.
Hello, good morning.
Welcome to the show, Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Hayley's getting very upset at the state of the studio pre the show this morning.
People are treating this room like it's a storage room.
Brie Thomasel.
I'm seeing a lot of trash from you.
Wow, shots fired.
She's got her trash.
There's confetti here from ages ago.
There's confetti in the roof from last year.
To be fair, that confetti up there is from Secret Sound, I think, season two.
We had a real shooter.
Enough is enough.
You absolutely had a shooter there.
You had our producer
Jared wheel out
Our winning wheels last week
Yeah
That's been in there
For too long
That's
No no no no no
I seem to remember
Jumping on the desk
And whacking at the roof panels
To dislodge that
And just like this
Cloud of toxic
Black
Spores
Came raining down
On everybody
So I think we settled
With confetti
Rather than
Whatever that toxic
Yeah, we just leave those up there and don't.
No more.
I'm whipping this studio into shame.
Bring your vacuum cleaner in.
Yeah, it's in my boot.
I'm going to bring it up.
I'm going to give this place a clean.
Coming up on the show today, Vaughn, you've got the top six.
Yeah, the top six today.
It's 1977.
So 45 years to the day since Annie debuted on Broadway.
It's a hard knock life for us.
It's a hard knock life for us.
Jay-Z's not that old.
For us.
Oh, my God.
Is that a kiss?
Jay-Z.
That could sample Little Orphan Annie.
Are you sure?
Little Orphan Annie opened you sure? Little Orphan Annie Opened On this day
In 1977
So I thought
We would celebrate by
Having the top six orphans
Know a lot of orphans?
Tons
Tons
A lot of orphans
And works of fiction
Yes
Right
Famous orphans
Okay
Next on the show though
Oh well
Listen up boys Whakarongamai Turns out that you guys Right. Famous orphans. Okay. Next on the show, though. Oh, well, listen up, boys.
Whakaronga mai.
Turns out that you guys, you're more likely to do this thing, and it's not good.
It's very naughty.
Us specifically?
Like Vaughan and I?
Or just men?
Men in general.
I'm making a wild generalisation.
Play.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
The most obnoxious social media, in my opinion, is LinkedIn.
I don't have it.
I don't have it.
Would you call LinkedIn social media?
It is.
Yeah, it is.
It is.
It's like officially recognized on all like the social media stats.
Ranks and stats and everything.
I've never used it.
It's the most obnoxious.
Look at me. I think it obnoxious look at me.
I think it outranks look at me.
It outranks Instagram when it comes to look at me
because it's a, I don't mean to brag,
but it's a real, here's what I've been up to.
But it kind of encourages it because it's putting yourself
out there for other jobs, isn't it?
It's a business profile, isn't it?
Yeah.
I mean, I hate talking about how great I am.
I mean, it speaks for itself.
So perhaps I don't need to as much as the everyday person.
But it is, oh, it's just horrible.
And everybody on there is a motivational speaker in some capacity,
telling you to follow your dreams and I don't
know.
But this little statistic also doesn't surprise me.
Men far more likely to lie on their LinkedIn and CVs than women.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Yeah.
What kind of stuff do you put on there normally?
Like your qualifications, where you've worked before.
What else?
What do you put?
Your skills.
Good with kids.
Apparently, something like that is the good with kids,
the things that are hard to prove.
Right.
The things that can't be, that can't ring your old employer
and be like, was he good with kids?
And the employer's like, what?
I don't know.
No, he lost eight of them.
Yeah.
It was a primary school teacher. I'm, he lost eight of them. Yeah. It was a primary school teacher.
I'm surprised he's even been considered.
Yeah.
But things like that, or apparently putting things like,
once a month I spent the entire day planting native trees.
On an island.
With who?
It sounds great, but it's also easy to say you did
without actually having to prove you did.
Or volunteered time at an old folks home.
So these are the kind of lies that men are putting on their LinkedIn.
Yeah.
What would you put?
Well, I think I told you guys,
I don't know if I mentioned this on air before in the past,
but a friend worked for a company
and they would send all of their employees like,
you know how people post articles about like,
this is how I would market or um five marketing tips from me
you know those kind of stories people posting those all the time or opinion pieces the company
would supply all their employees with these kind of things and he posted them all the time they'd
have to post one one or two a week and another company saw them and were like this guy's really
on to it and gave him a job. They head onto them.
Wait, but his workplace was telling him how to seem more attractive to other employers.
That's shooting yourself in the foot because then if you want to keep him, you've got to pay him more.
But I think they wanted their employees to look like they were just all great.
All great.
Yeah.
And I was like, well, that's great for you because you've just got a great new job that pays even more.
Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, my one's just, that's great for you because you've just got a great new job that pays even more. Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, my one's just, it's a joke.
I hope I never find myself out of work because, like.
Your LinkedIn is a joke.
My work history is ridiculous.
Like, I asserted myself last year as head content creator for small town active marketing makeovers.
Or STAM, as we're known here in new zealand yeah
because if your town needed remarketing we could come up with a thing famously you run the
organization just to uh run any new designs of buildings don't you that's the incidental
genitalia and design identification consultancy that i run incredible that was after the qatar
um vagina stadium yes yeah and i started the company And now I get sent
Quite often
Tagged in things
That like from
A bird's eye
Could look very phallic
Right
I say your services
Were required here
Now
They didn't ask you
About Jeff Bezos'
Dick rocket
Did they?
And they should've
They should've
Had they consulted me
I would've said
Little penis-y
Yeah
Let's tone down the penis-y
It was the balls
That did it
Oh it was absolutely the balls.
Rockets have always been quite a fallacy.
Have they not seen Austin Powers?
Yeah.
It looked exactly like the Austin Powers.
Laughing stock.
But I have had messages from people that are like,
like with that small town active marketing maker,
it was Stan, Stan Menzied.
I had someone message me saying,
do you have like a portfolio of your work?
Oh, fantastic.
I think I just said, look it up yourself.
Some real arrogant.
There's no way to get a job, is there?
No, I know.
But I'm so busy.
I don't have time for people's general inquiries.
Put some cash on the table.
And I literally mean cash.
In a briefcase, unmarked, non-sequential bills, and Stan will be in touch.
Yeah.
What would your town's little tagline be?
Come visit us or something.
Oh, it depends.
You give me a town and I'll give you a tagline.
Ikeda Huna.
Where is it?
Dagaville.
You're meant to be.
Takumura.
Takakumura.
I was going to say Taito Town.
But then I remembered it's not.
Dagaville.
Takakumura. Takakumura. Targaville, take a kumara.
Take a kumara.
Take one home.
Take one home today.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Not bad.
It's not bad.
Targaville.
You guys like kumara?
That's what it would be.
Yeah, you can see why he runs an agency on LinkedIn.
He's bloody good.
I don't want to get too caught up in this stuff.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
A new study has shown that One in eight people get
Big anxiety
When their phone battery is gonna die
You know when you look and you're like
You don't realise maybe it fell off the charger at night
And you go to look at the phone and you're like hey what
And you flick it down and it's like seven
I had that once when I woke up
I put the charging cord between my case
And the phone
I do that all the time.
I know.
That's an easy one to do.
And you don't realise it.
You're starting the morning on 6% and you're like, oh, I've done a bad thing.
Or the day where the fluff from your pocket just fills enough of the charging port where the thing won't go in 100% of the way.
It's like 97% but it won't charge it.
It's like when you've got the charger and it's going bling, bling, bling.
You know, it keeps connecting, connecting, connecting. That's a fluffy hole. That's charger and it's going bling, bling, bling. You know, it keeps connecting.
That's a fluffy hole.
That's a fluffy hole.
You've got to wring your hole out.
Get a pin.
Beg your pardon?
You've got to get the pin or a paperclip and flick it out.
Don't blow in it.
Don't blow in the hole.
That's what they say.
Make it further.
It makes it worse.
It jams it in further.
Yeah, well, one out of eight people say it gives them actual anxiety.
Also, the worst is when your phone's old.
It's like getting to a couple of years old and the battery's just... Happens every day.
Yeah, it's done.
I've got quite a new phone.
I could go a day without charging, I reckon.
Well, I think when my phone's like that, I'll always have a cord in my school bag.
Always in your school bag.
Always in my school bag or get the old portable battery pack out.
Yes. Well, I drive like half an hour to work in the morning half an hour home always there's a good
bit of charge there yeah yeah because that that would make me anxious if you didn't have a car
charger and you were on low and you didn't have access to google maps i'd die i wouldn't know
what to do the worst is when you're traveling and you're out all day you're in a foreign city
not an english-speaking country yeah and you're out all day. You're in a foreign city, not an English-speaking country,
and you're on 5%, and you need to find your hotel or hostel
or wherever you're staying.
Not only that, but the sun sets going down in Venice,
and you can't even take a photo of it.
Oh, my God.
Imagine that.
What was the point?
That's disgusting.
I won't even contemplate it.
Were you even there if there's no photo?
If it's not on the gram, it doesn't exist.
Yeah, I get a little bit of anxiety.
Also, like music.
It's not the use of the phone that gives me anxiety.
It's not so that people can contact me in an emergency.
It's so I can take great photos.
Yeah.
Listen to some good jams.
Do a spot of online shopping.
What if there's a sale on, on Onesit, and I can't get on the app?
Well, I'm going to pay full price for sheets.
Don't get yourself worked up about these situations that are yet to, you know.
No wonder you've got anxiety.
Chance you're fine, maybe.
I'm very on now.
84% is too low.
It's too low.
I've got to charge up.
It's fine.
84% is fine.
No, I've got to charge up.
I'm going to charge up.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Well, it's no secret, no news really, that as a race, as the human race,
we're throwing out millions and millions of tons of food
every year. Billions of
dollars worth of food, unused, because we're
like, oh, that's off and that's a bit mad.
Yeah, and all those vegetables in the
drawer have turned into a soup.
Yeah, they've already souped themselves
and I didn't even soup them.
Thousands and thousands a year.
When a courgette's like, um like What are your plans for me next?
And you're like
Oh, you're going to sit there for a while
Really?
Well, stick this one
Yeah
I'm going to mash myself
They go festery
I'm everywhere
Yeah
Broccoli can go bad too
Broccoli goes
Like rubbery and limp
Yeah
Well, there's a company in the UK Called Too Good To Go Broccoli can go bad too. Broccoli goes like rubbery and limp.
Well, there's a company in the UK called Too Good To Go that is trying to urge shoppers to be smarter with the way
that we waste our food and waste less.
And they've listed some of the foods that we can ignore
the best before date.
Now, the best before and the used by are two different dates.
Best just means it's best before this date.
Like, literally.
It'll be prime freshness before this date if stored in the correct way.
The fridge or the pantry, whatever that particular thing needs.
And then I always imagine they're always going to have a buffer, right, of a month or two.
Yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
I mean, I don't need the best.
I'm not fancy like that.
Whereas expiry is you definitely shouldn't, this product won't be ideal.
Yeah, well, they're saying like you can eat food right up to the use by slash expiry.
Same thing.
But afterwards, it's a roll of the dice.
It's an absolute roll of the dice.
I reckon trim milk you can get away a couple of days.
Yeah, milk's on the list.
They're saying like scratch the dates that you see on the things.
Go by looks, smell, and, I mean, taste, which sort of seems we've already eaten at that point.
Yeah.
But if you start eating something, you're like, yuck.
Stop eating it.
Okay.
Not my rule.
Just push on through.
Push on through.
I don't want to waste anything.
Milk is there.
I'm going to eat this till I like it.
Milk is the fifth most
wasted food and drink product.
Yeah.
After potatoes and bread.
Bananas.
Yeah, we always throw that.
And lettuces that just go limp.
You can tell.
It goes lumpy.
It smells funky.
It goes all sour.
Gross.
Don't have it.
If it's not,
it's absolutely fine.
Yeah.
Bread.
You can put bread in the fridge
after two weeks past the best
before date.
Yeah, freezer. Stick it in the freezer. Eggs. All the time. You can put bread in the fridge up to two weeks past the best before date. Yeah, freezer.
Stick it in the freezer.
Eggs, all the time.
You can put them in the fridge and they'll be absolutely fine.
Easy test to see if an egg is still good is put it in a bowl of water.
If it sinks, it's all good.
If it floats, gross.
It's gone all gassy and putrid.
Hard cheeses, ignore the date.
They'll be absolutely fine.
Cheese is mould.
Yeah, I'll scrape a bit of mold off a block of cheese.
Cheese is expensive.
If I bought a $15 block of Tasty, I'm scraping the mold off.
Oh, yeah, cut that right off.
Sometimes I ate it.
It went in a penicillin.
Absolutely, it's good for you.
Mold is mold.
Yogurt, same thing.
It's really obvious when it's gone off.
You'll be probably fine to ignore the date on there.
Any canned foods, they've got expiry dates on them,
but you can just ignore them.
It's canned.
Yeah, and full of preservatives.
I'm taking some liberties here.
Yeah.
But you can tell.
Yeah.
Frozen foods, you can freeze foods.
Well past their best before dates, obviously.
Pasta's are good.
Rice is good.
Biscuits, unopened.
Weeks and weeks after the best before date.
After six months. I wouldn't even look at a biscuit's best before date. Nah. Weeks and weeks after the Best Before date. After six months.
I wouldn't even look at a biscuit's Best Before date.
Nah.
No, and they're dry.
Unless it was open, then, you know.
What about white chocolate?
Have you ever opened up, like, it's dairy milk, but it's got that white film on it?
Yeah, it goes, that melts off.
Oh, no.
You can't get a wipe with a warm, wet, moist, warm handy towel.
No, that's gross.
And all the crevices and everything.
When chocolate's gone rank, it's rank.
You can't have that.
That's gone.
You send it to me, I'll have it.
The last of the foods, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and baking soda.
All absolutely fine to just keep it in the fridge.
Honey.
Honey lasts.
There's Egyptian honey from the pyramids.
It's still absolutely edible.
Am I the only one that would love to see a documentary on baking soda?
What can't it do?
What is it?
What can't it do?
Who discovered it and what is it and when will it not be the best thing for everything?
I think you should make this documentary.
I will.
I'm passionate about it.
Every time I...
New Zealand Film Commission, we want to get some funding let's get some a baking soda documentary every
time i pull out the it's a chemical compound drawer full of baking and there's like the
the soda and everything in there the bacon oh no this is a school project called baking soda movie
i thought someone had actually made a documentary it's just some school kid doing a rocket with baking soda on it.
I mean, that's another thing.
It reacts so insanely.
It's a salt.
What?
Sodium bicarbonate.
Bicarbonate of soda is a chemical compound with a formula NAHCO3.
It is a salt composed of a sodium cation and a bicarbonate anion.
Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is crystalline but often appears as a fine powder.
That's why you can always taste that saltiness in the banana cake when you add that if you add too much.
Yes, and it needs an acid.
Otherwise, it doesn't do jack.
Oh, okay.
It needs an acid to activate it.
I just think it's a fascinating product that costs like next to nothing.
It is.
But don't throw it out if it's past its use by.
For years you can keep using that.
Also take everything I say with a grain of salt.
So you know how sometimes you're in the mood for something like really energetic
and like that gets your heart racing when you want to watch a film
yeah and sometimes you're like i don't want to feel a thing i just want to watch moving images
i want to watch explosions uh needless gun violence um things blowing up yeah well this
is sort of more around like romantic films so i don't know what film you're watching with
explosions and the like right uh so there's
a marketing agency they wanted to figure out um what was the most stressful romantic films to
watch and what were the least stressful romantic films to watch and the way they did it is crazy
so they used rotten tomatoes to compile a list of all these romantic films right then they fed it in
all the screen they got all the screenplays like the scripts thread it through um fed it through a sentiment analysis tool called tens of strength that
analyzed the language that is used in the film wow okay uh you know like more stressful words
and less stressful words uh and that gave them a list of that isn't that crazy that they can do
that so like ai ai wow gave them a list list of the most stressful romance films and the least stressful.
Were the most stressful romance films the one with explosions?
Well, not so much explosions, but like high stakes or big adventures.
So I'll give you the top 10 most stressful to get the heart racing.
And then I'll give you the top 10 least stressful.
Okay. Most stressful list, Notting Hill. And then I'll give you the top 10 least stressful. Okay.
Most stressful list.

I was like, nothing happens in the film.
I've not seen it.
They go to a dinner party and they're like, I kind of like you.
I kind of like you.
Oh, we'll just go for a run together and that's love.
Oh, wow.
It's very chill, very chill, even the way I'm talking about it.
Chill in its simplicity.
Number eight, I would say this is more stressful, Erin Brockovich.
Well, yeah, that's quite stressful.
Like the town's all got poisoning.
But based on the language they use, not stressful.

And number one is Up in the Air, Anna Kendrick.
Oh, yeah.
George Clooney.
He has to go around laying people off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I didn't know that would be classed as a romance.
Who are they romancing?
There was no romance in the end of that, was there?
Well, they don't romance.
George and Anna.
No.
He's got a wife or something that he's trying to.
Yeah, because he's ending chapters of other people's lives,
but can't do it himself.
You couldn't pay Aaron to sit down and watch a romance film with me.
None of those movies, none of the ones you just mentioned,
I've got any desire to see.
Yeah.
No.
He's more your vibe.
Explosions.
Yeah, I want to see some explosions.
Robots.
Yeah.
I'm down for a robot.
Lasers Anything really
And any romance has to be like straight up dirty
Yeah
In the shower
In the shower
If you want a stressful romance or an easy romance
Those are the ones
There's your list
From the bustling ZM think tank
This is the Top 6.
Hello.
Today's Top 6.
April 21st in 1977.
Yeah.
Annie opened on Broadway.
Oh.
Annie, the musical.
Fletcher, you look a little bit lost.
I've got no idea what happened.
It's a hard night.
The sun will come out.
Tomorrow.
We went for two different songs from Annie's.
Absolute mess of songs.
Okay.
The sun will come out tomorrow.
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow there'll be sun.
Just thinking about it.
Little redhead.
It's a hard knock life for us.
It's a hard knock life for us.
It's a Jay-Z song.
Jay-Z sampled.
So, Annie.
I've actually covered this.
I've written this down.
Jay-Z covered it in 1998.
So, there was a 21-year gap between Annie on Broadway and Jay-Z.
And now there has been 24 years since Jay-Z covered it.
So, the gap between Annie and Jay-Z Is now smaller Than the gap between
Jay-Z and now
So tell me what happens
In Annie
There's a little ginger kid
She's an orphan
She sings songs
Little Annie orphan
Times are tough
It's a bad orphanage
And then she meets
A rich man
Dude
Without a wife
Rich guy without a wife
Like you'd say
He's a paedophile nowadays
You wouldn't give him
The benefit of the doubt
I think you'd throw
The word paedophile around
Yeah you wouldn't
Just chuck a kid at him.
He buys it.
And then your life is good. And then it turns around.
Does she want to help other... Yeah, she tries
to help everyone. She's a good orphan.
She's a good kid. So why
today the top six orphans?
Top six orphans? Okay.
Can you find six? Yeah, I have.
I've done my research. Number six, Lord
Voldemort from Harry Potter.
Is he an orphan?
A bad orphan.
Annie, good orphan.
Voldemort, bad orphan.
Less good.
Yeah, less good.
His parents died when he was young, according to Harry Potter lore.
Well, that's probably why he's so bad.
He just wanted attention.
And when he got attention, it was for misbehaving, and then the cycle began.
He just needed a hug.
Yeah.
Dumbledore should have hugged him.
You would have thought that would have connected him with Harry Potter.
Who was also orphaned.
Who was also orphaned.
You're right, because he killed Harry Potter's parents.
So without him, Harry Potter wouldn't have been an orphan.
Right.
God, what a cycle.
It's a vicious cycle.
It's a vicious cycle.
Number five on the list of the top six orphans, Paddington Bear.
I did not know that Paddington Bear's parents were murdered.
Were they?
Yes.
By hunters.
Yeah, they were hunters.
He lived with his auntie and uncle.
The bears that raised Paddington before he shipped off to the UK.
To London.
Yeah, and was found at Paddington Station with his hat and his jacket on.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
I bought a Paddington Bear at Paddington Station.
Do you remember that when we were in the UK? Yeah, I do. I've still got it. I love it. I love Paddington. Oh, wow. Yeah. I bought a Paddington beer at Paddington Station. Do you remember that when we were in the UK?
Yeah, I do.
I've still got it.
I love it.
I love Paddington.
And those movies...
Great.
I'm not even shitting you.
So good for everybody.
The Paddington movie
is some of the most
wholesome content
you'll ever enjoy.
Speaking of movies,
number four on the list
of the top six orphans,
J.R.R. Tolkien.
Oh!
He's the guy that wrote
Lord of the Rings.
Orphaned.
He was born in South Africa when he was three years old.
His father died from rheumatic fever.
And then when he was 12, his mother, Mabel, died of diabetes, type 1 diabetes complications.
Oh.
They were then, him and his siblings were raised by a friend of the family.
But he was an orphan.
Huh.
Wow.
Yeah.
Number three on the list of the top six orphans Mowgli from the Jungle Book
His parents died in the plane accident that rendered him the jungle boy
Of the Jungle Book
And of course he was raised by a menagerie of jungle based animals
Had a hell of a time doing it
Number two on the list of the top six orphans
This one's a twofer
Anna and Elsa from Frozen
Oh they are orphans
They are orphans.
Their parents died in that boat thing.
They went on the boat.
And then there was a crash and then she locked herself away.
So much death.
Well, that's what you need.
You need two deaths for an orphan.
Yeah.
Or to be abandoned in a dark, scary building. I was looking up famous orphans and there were people who weren't orphans because their
parents were alive, but they were put up for adoption. I don't call famous orphans and there were people who weren't orphans because their parents were alive but they were put up for adoption.
I don't call them orphans.
To me, an orphan has to have had their parents die, right?
No, if they abandoned you on the steps of an orphanage,
then you're an orphan.
Yeah, or abandoned you at the fire station.
Oh my God, my list could have been so much easier.
Yeah, I thought I was into my hard and fast rule
of both parents must die.
I thought I was an orphan once.
I got lost in farmers. couldn't find mum and dad
For that moment you go like I guess it's just me now
It's me in the road
I live in the furniture section
An orphan is a child whose parents have died
Are unknown or have permanently abandoned them
In common usage only a child who has lost both parents
Due to death is called an orphan
When referring to animals only the mother's condition
Is usually relevant
Because men animals are just useless.
Not pulling their weight at all.
Not at all.
Not surprised.
Absent.
They just bugger right off.
And number one on the list of the top six orphans for today,
celebrating the anniversary of the opening of Annie on Broadway,
Batman.
Of course.
Of course, yeah.
It was being orphaned that led him down the path to be Batman
Yeah, a vigilante life
Yeah, yeah
You watched it happen too, you know
He did, he did
He was right there
That really makes you an orphan
What would have happened if they hadn't killed his parents?
He'd just been a accountant or something
There's a version of Batman where the parents don't die
He dies, Bruce Wayne dies
And the dad turns into Batman and the mum turns
into the Joker
because the death
of her son
drives her like
insane
and the dad
let's be honest
that's a cool version
the Thomas Wayne
Batman's a cool Batman
they are the
Wayne family
they are so wealthy
if his parents
didn't die
he would have
grown up to be
such a prick
he would have
been a real prick
an investment banker
he'd be at the polo
at the weekend
he'd be at the clubs with the girls.
Driving home, coped out of his mind, runs someone over,
it gets covered up.
Daddy covers it up.
Yeah.
Totally could have been.
That's my alternative universe of Batman.
The alt-Batman.
That is today's top six.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley.
Play ZM.
30% of people surveyed about their working conditions
said they'd be willing to give up a week's worth of pay
for more recognition from their employer.
Jeepers creepers.
Madness.
Wow.
Madness.
Now, having worked for some people, Vaughan, in our time
that certainly don't heap praise on you.
Oh, it certainly taught me not to care for the opinions of management whatsoever.
Really?
Even compliments. Now, I can't take them. I know. I don't like compliments. I don of management whatsoever. Really? Even compliments.
Now I can't take them.
I know.
I don't like compliments.
I don't like them.
I thrive on them.
No, I don't need them.
I don't want them.
Really?
Because I'm allowed to give and receive compliments.
From employers, relationships, friends.
I'd just rather be left alone.
Here's the job.
Do it.
And here's your pay.
You don't want it to be like, Fletch, you're doing such a great job.
No, because it doesn't
I know that
It doesn't
That's what I say
Vaughn that was wonderful
Yeah Vaughn gives me enough compliments
So I'm giving myself compliments
You're just living by proxy
Yeah
I'm like shit I'm good
And you take that as
You played a part in that
But then it is hard because
If you're in a job where you don't really know
I guess maybe you're new to it
And no one's giving you feedback
That would be hard
Because are you doing a good job?
It is hard, guys.
And a little bit more feedback would be really appreciated.
I mean, you've been doing this for months.
You're all right.
Yeah, I'm doing okay.
You haven't been fired yet.
I've been sorting out my P's and learning how to not say bad words.
And less complaints too.
Way less complaints.
They've gone down.
Way down, haven't they?
That's good.
See, you're doing a great job, Hayley.
Thank you.
Receiving that compliment makes me feel really good about myself.
Put that one in the bank.
But then taking like a pay card.
No, no, no, no.
Nothing would make me take a pay card.
No.
That's ridiculous.
Like people want like affirmation or those kind of like positive statements.
More than money.
More than money? That's ridiculous. More than money. More than money?
That's ridiculous.
More than the money you earned.
Seems absurd.
That's crazy.
Maybe they're just, oh no, but this surveyed a lot of people.
Half of the people surveyed said they'd left a job because they felt underappreciated there.
Right.
And then they said if their current employment could improve in one aspect,
it would be recognition from other people at the company.
What is recognition other than compliments?
Like a pay rise?
Yeah.
A role upgrade?
Maybe like the way that they treat staff, like, you know,
events and, you know, Friday drinks.
Friday drinks.
Are you talking a pizza party?
A pizza party.
We'll give you a pizza party.
Classic morale booster.
Fancy bickies in the staff room.
A motivational day maybe.
Oh yeah.
Where you catch each other.
We can do some trust falls.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know about trust falls.
But I always remember someone saying to me, you're always going to be working for some
arsehole.
You know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, what?
You are always going to be working for some arsehole.
And you know.
You are the arsehole.
What if you're working for yourself?
Well, that's what I was going to say. Unless you want to work for yourself. Be the boss. Then you're the arsehole. And then working for some arsehole. And you know. You are the arsehole. What if you're working for yourself? Well, that's what I was going to say.
Unless you want to work for yourself.
Be the boss.
Then you're the arsehole.
And then you're the arsehole.
Wow.
It's like Batman, you know.
You be a hero or you live long enough to become the villain.
Wow.
I'm not up to that Batman yet.
I'm not up to that Batman.
Thanks, man.
That was ages ago.
That was like Clooney.
It wasn't yet.
Wasn't that Val Kilmer in Batman?
God. That was ages ago. That was like Clooney. It wasn't yet. Wasn't that Val Kilmer? Remember that?
Gosh.
Well, today's silly little poll as we get into the colder months.
Do you keep your pyjamas under your pillow?
There's no other place for them in my...
Unless they're on the floor.
Yeah, where else would you put them?
Why don't sleeping pyjamas?
Or you could put them in your dresser drawer.
Yeah, I suppose you could if you've got all the time in the world.
This is a real split.
53% say that they don't put them behind the pillow.
47% say they do.
If I've made my bed and my room's all nice,
then yes, I'll hide them under the pillow.
I'm a piece of shit.
I sleep in boxes and I just kick them off when I have a morning shower
and I just kick them anywhere in the ensuite.
Yes, you do.
Kick them off and just leave them there shower and I just kick them anywhere in the ensuite. And I'm like, yes, you do. Kick them off!
And just leave them there.
Sometimes they go under the thing.
The other thing is, I wear PJs like I'll have a shower before dinner and then get them a PJ.
Don't you dare.
No.
What?
No.
What?
No.
Why?
You don't wear PJs between the shower and the bed but take them off for the bed?
You're a grown man.
What are you? Clothes! Put clothes! Put some clean clothes on! between the shower and the bed, but take them off for the bed? You're a growing man.
What are you?
Clothes!
Put clothes!
Put some clean clothes on!
Oh, no. I've got my t-shirts.
No, because they're comfortable.
So I wear my PJ bottoms and a t-shirt.
Oh, my God.
And then I'll just pot around.
You want to sleep over?
Yeah.
And then...
You wake up and piss the bed?
I need my mum to come and get me.
And then when I go to bed,
I take them off and I sleep naked.
And they just stay on the floor.
Do you sleep naked?
You both sleep naked.
Well, do you sleep in pyjamas?
I wear pyjamas.
Ooh.
I don't like the feeling of having all my bits and flips and flaps.
Actually rubbing around the sheets.
I don't like it.
That's why I wear underpants.
I'll roll on a ball. I don't like it. Oh, wow. That's why I wear underpants is because, yeah. I'll roll on a ball.
I don't want to do a leg twisty roll and crush a ball.
Your body regulates.
Your body needs a cooler temperature when you sleep.
I'm not wearing, like, fleecy.
Well, no, some people do.
Their pajamas are, like, fleecy.
What do you call that?
Flannelette.
Fiber flannelette.
Too hot to sleep in.
Oh, you'll catch on fire.
Yeah, bloody moist, humid situation down there.
No, I just wear a little shorty and a T-shirt, an oversized T-shirt.
Do you wear normal clothes before bedtime?
You don't get into pajamas?
No, I wear cumps.
Cumps, we call them in our house.
Put my cumps on.
What are your cumps?
Like a track pant and a jumper.
What if it's too hot for a track pant?
Well, a track little short.
I love my fleecy PJs.
My PJ Alexanders. They're just delicious.
You've got fleeces? Yeah.
Oh, God. That's so unsexy.
You don't live
in a cold house in the 1960s.
You don't need fleecy jams.
You live in a concrete...
They're comfortable.
Get a hot water bottle or something. You don't need fleecy germs. You know what it is? They're comfortable. Get a hot water bottle or something.
You're talking about regulating heat, but just before you get completely naked,
you like steam yourself up to cool yourself off.
Yeah, great stuff.
It's out of madness.
Well, people have contributed to the poll.
Oh, I've got to find those results again.
I just shut my computer in a fit of rage.
So 47% said they do keep their PJs under their pillow.
53% nah.
Nah, they don't.
Jessie's messaged in saying they're there.
So they put them under your pillow so that they're there when you go to bed.
Where else would they go?
That's great.
I mean, it's where you keep your pajamas.
Sarah said it just makes me feel like a kid who's being taken well care of
instead of an adult who's just trying to hold my shit together.
Yeah. Yeah, that's nice. It's easy, isn easy isn't it fold your pjs put them under the pillow
the pillow acts as a sort of a soft press i don't even fold them i shove them are you shove i shove
you wrinkle and shove i just wrinkle and shove what do i mean wrinkly pajamas i'm hopping into
bed if i'm putting them under there they're getting a fold um vicky says i keep them on
top of my bed waste of time putting them under the pillow.
But no, it's to disguise it,
Vicky. It's to hide your shame. It's not a
cushion. No, it's not on top of the bed.
It's under the pillow. Jess says
people still have sets of pyjamas.
I mean, grow up for starters.
Ouch.
I could go...
I can't bring myself to
even consider getting a set of pyjamas. No could go. I can't bring myself to even consider getting a set of pajamas.
No, neither.
I haven't owned a set since I was a kid.
Yeah.
Because I go shower, bed, bang, bang.
Like that.
If I have a shower in the evening, bang, bang.
Shower, bed, straight into bed.
Damp.
I get into bed with a slight moisture to me.
And then in the morning, I'm out of bed.
You're barely drying off.
Out of bed, straight back into that shower.
You're also scared of catching on fire next to the heater too, aren't you?
I am so scared of backing up too close to the heater.
Yeah.
And catching on fire.
All of those product recalls and kids catching on fire.
It really does.
Jen says, who wears pyjamas as an adult?
It's nerd for life.
No.
I agree.
It's all everywhere.
Everything's everywhere.
Nadine's washing the pyjamas on the daily.
Nadine, what are you, living in a palace? She's like a. Everything's everywhere. Nadine's washing the pajamas on the daily. Oh, Nadine.
What, do you live in a palace?
She's like a very sweaty sleeper.
Yeah.
Maybe, but...
That was part of my routine as a kid.
Breakfast, make your own bed, get dressed, put the PJs under the pillow,
brush the hair and the teeth, pack your school bag.
And it just has continued through life.
Wow, I grew up in the army?
Yeah.
That sounds horrible.
Very regimented.
Snap. Oh, snap, you two. Get a room. Regimented. through when I was a grew up in the army yes very regimented I would if she's got
these bloody floppy jams oh it's a whole it's a whole thing to undress it before Does Aaron go like Tonight should we make love
And you're like
Yes but I've already put on my
No
Pajamas
That's exactly it
It's part of the fun
And he's like
Scooch out of these long pants
I'm not wearing long pants
And you're like
Whoa
And he's like
Now let's unbutton this top
All the way down
And take it off
Because if we just try to pull it over your head
You're going to get stuck
And that's not sexy.
And then afterwards
you've got to button them all back up
and pull them back on.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Well, a New York dating expert
who's big on TikTok,
she's got a huge following.
She has a company.
Is she married?
She is, yes.
So you can,
she knows what she's doing.
Oh yeah, proof in the pudding.
I always say as a dating expert and they still
aren't with anyone, I'm like how much of an expert
are they? Yeah, fair call.
She runs a company that
basically reviews women's
dating profiles and fixes
them up or gives people pointers
where they might be going wrong.
Has she studied to do this? Because I do this
for my single friends.
I don't think there's a course.
All I have is arrogance.
Well, you should be charging money
because she's got a waiting list.
Oh, really?
As long as you can imagine at the moment.
So she charges people money.
I can imagine a very long waiting list.
I think you've made a mistake there
leading it up to my imagination
to imagine how long this waiting list is.
So what does she do to these profiles?
She makes them all snazzy and attractive.
Yeah, and wording as well.
A lot of it's in the wording.
So she has shared a couple of things that everybody can be doing on their dating profiles.
I'll go through the list.
Firstly, make your first photo your best shot.
Absolutely.
So a lot of dating apps.
Mine would be my bum they could they
could rotate through at random all of your photos but you can select it to have it in a certain
order so you might put your bum i put my tush you're like just like me like over just a little
bit but predominantly all tush so this is why she says this for women especially women uh when they
look at guys profiles they'll go know, swipe through all the photos,
whereas men will mostly just look at one photo
or have a quick glance.
Really?
Yeah.
They just have a little like, nah.
Yeah.
On one photo,
whereas women are more likely to go through all the photos.
I don't know if anybody's picked up on this,
but men are pieces of shit.
I've been picking up on it a little bit.
Have you?
Just a little bit.
Why didn't you say something?
Why has no one said anything about this?
They've just been letting us away with this for years.
Oh, no, we've been screaming.
We've been yelling it.
Yeah.
Another one.
Lighten up.
Dark selfies are a turn off.
So make sure your photos are bright and you can actually be seen.
Yeah, yeah.
Nothing like a muddy, terrible lighter.
Terrible news for Batman.
Well, that's what she finds.
A lot of people will submit their profiles
and there'll just be photos where they can't be seen.
Lose the booze.
Holding a glass of wine.
Avoid having alcohol.
So all of your winery pictures or your...
That's just being dishonest.
If I was on Tinder, I'd be
selling a lie if I didn't have a glass of wine
in my hand at all times.
Go for the bright stuff is another thing that she says.
Use a picture of yourself in a vibrant
floral dress to attract men
online. Like a bee.
Like we attract bees.
You know, you wear a yellow top or something
and bees will come swarming around you.
So men are like bees.
Bees are a sign of fertility.
They like bright things, yeah.
Or crows.
Another tip she has, be straight about your photos.
Like, if you've got a hiking photo or a photo fishing,
like, is that one day that you went hiking or fishing?
Or are you a hiker?
Or are you actually a hiker?
Yeah, exactly.
Another one, avoid cliches.
I guess just don't be cheesy in your bios and your writing
and if you're answering prompts and questions.
Do you like pina coladas?
And getting caught in the rain?
Because I like making love at the end of your sales.
Yeah.
And another thing she said, use prompts to start a conversation.
So in your bio, I ask. Yeah. And another thing she said, use prompts to start a conversation.
So in your bio, ask questions.
Or you can actually, a lot of apps might have automatic questions.
Who's your favorite Spice Girl?
Could be a good question starter.
That's a great starter. Yeah, that's a great one.
If they come in and they're like posh, you're like,
who was your favorite Spice Girl in 1998 and who's your favorite Spice Girl now?
Because then you might see a change. You might see a change in people. It's changed. It's a real, who was your favourite Spice Girl in 1998 and who's your favourite Spice Girl now? It's changed. Because then you might see a change.
You might see a change in people.
It's changed.
It's a real, who was your favourite originally?
Baby.
And now it's...
Could be Posh.
Posh.
Oh, okay.
Really entrepreneurial lady Posh.
But apparently she only eats the same salad, doesn't she?
Boring, she'd be a nightmare to eat.
She eats the same steamed veggies.
Yeah, no, I'm going ginger.
Well, according to this new survey,
we're having a bit of a hard time letting go of previous relationships.
Okay.
They looked into if we keep mementos or gifts from an ex
after we split with them,
two-thirds of people are still holding on
to an item that the ex has given them.
I just don't see the point.
Well, it depends.
Like, what is it?
Oh, if it's expensive jewellery, but then you'd sell it, wouldn't you?
Yeah, the most common mementos people still keep, letters that they've received, like
little notes and stuff, 50% of people.
My mind was on very practical items, like the blender.
Love that.
A chair.
Less common.
Photos, 46%.
And jewellery, 43%.
See, that's where I go, like, if he bought me a nice pair of earrings.
You'd keep them.
I'm still going to wear them.
Yeah.
Have you ever kept anything from, like, say, like a high school boyfriend?
Yeah, I've got lots of, like, notes, like love letters and stuff. So you do have the notes, say, a high school boyfriend? Yeah, I've got lots of notes, love letters and stuff.
So you do have the notes?
Yeah, I do.
But if you looked at the notes now.
Oh my God, they're so cringe.
You are my love.
You are the one.
I love you so much I could die.
Is that what he wrote or you wrote it?
Both, both ways.
We were so in love.
How long did this last?
Like 14 months, which as a 16-year-old is crazy.
Is this when you looked like you were in Paramore or Evanescence?
He looked like we went to the school ball and he went as Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance
and I went as Helena from the music video.
Wow.
I'll give you a photo.
Yeah, wow.
No, we were like burning burning love wow and i just i love that
vaughn's got this to look forward to just in a few years around the corner yeah with his two girls my
there was letters that i wrote to a girl we weren't boyfriend girlfriend or anything about
college and then like years and years later like 10 years, she sent me a photo of one of them. And it was literally like, Evadana Fart smells like onions.
And then I was at high school being like, why am I not getting heaps of kisses?
I was going to say, no wonder she wasn't your girlfriend.
Why is no one kissing me on or around the mouth?
Wow.
That probably is an indication why maybe.
Yeah.
Maybe.
But we thought this morning we'd ask you,
what item do you still have from an ex?
Is it a letter?
That's super cringe now.
Well, the survey also said that only 18% of people keep a pet that they had.
So I guess, I don't know, you get rid of it.
Do you just work out who the pet likes more?
Yeah. Or who paid for the animal?
Yeah, who it connects with on a spiritual level more.
Yeah.
Yeah, but what do you have?
What do you have that you've hung on to all these years?
And also, is it bad if you're hanging on to a memento
that's got like kind of personal sentimental value
or, you know, meaning to you,
but you've also got a new partner?
Like, is that allowed?
That'd be weird.
I have some rose trimmers.
Some secateurs for the garden.
What?
From a previous lover.
Really?
They still-
She purchased you secateurs.
Why?
Sexy secateurs.
I don't know.
I wanted some.
She taught me how to prune a rose.
Oh.
Is that a euphemism?
No, no, no.
You go down.
No, you go down until there's a shoot off on the inside
and it's got to have three or more leaves.
Was she hoping that you'd go to like council gardens
and steal roses for her?
I don't know.
No.
If that's not a hint, give me roses.
No, because that's where she worked.
Oh, okay.
She didn't want me going and stealing.
Oh, so she wanted you to come along and help.
No, I just think I showed an interest.
Wow.
I mean, what's better?
The guy who showed an interest
In something she did
Or the guy that wrote a letter
And made like
Even her farts smell like onions
Oh god
Yeah fair call
Saw a dog taking a poo today
It was pretty stinky
Yeah look at that dog
Taking that
But a lot of poo based stuff
Alright well

What item do you still have
That an ex gave you?
Well, according to a new survey,
two-thirds of people can't let go of certain items
that an ex gave them, holding on to things for years.
Like little notes, mementos.
Little love notes, little pieces of jewellery.
You name it, we're keeping it.
Playstations.
Yeah, the money.
I mean, I can see holding on to You know something of value

His ghost
His ghost
His beard
What does that mean? Why did you say ghost?
She killed him.
And I kept the ghost.
She's kept the ghost.
And a bottle.
His bed.
He ghosted me after seven years.
That's why I said ghost.
Right.
Okay.
He ghosted me after seven years and it's a comfy bed.
Why shouldn't you keep it?
Oh, because of the memory of him.
Man, he really just left aye.
Yeah.
Seven years.
That's bad.
He left the bed.
Maybe he is a ghost.
Leah, what did you keep from a previous relationship?
I received a cap.
Like a hat?
A cap, like a 80 days cap.
Oh yeah.
My new boyfriend really likes it so he wears it every day to work.
Oh.
He's kind of taken over the hat, the cap.
Yep.
Okay.
And then is it weird, though, when you see your new boyfriend,
does it look like your old boyfriend?
No.
Wow.
There's no confusion there?
I couldn't do that.
I could do that because hats do carry the scent of the previous owner.
No, no, it was a gift to me.
Ah, right.
And did he know that it was a gift from your ex?
Yep, he does.
He just likes it a lot.
Does he know that he's wearing a lady hat?
Yeah, I think my boyfriend actually got me a boy hat.
Ah.
Okay. Well, he's into recycling. That's good. Waste not, want not. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I think my boyfriend actually got me a boy hat. Ah. I see.
Okay.
Well, he's into recycling.
That's good.
Waste not, want not. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
Thanks for your call.
Gemma, what do you keep from an ex?
I kept his favorite knife.
Oh, is it a Japanese knife?
It was one that he made himself.
Oh.
The craft.
The love. You've made a knife Vaughan? I've made a few knives. Yeah.
A lot of love goes into a knife.
I thought you meant, you know, sometimes in the cutlery
drawer if you've got a mishmash of cutlery
and a flat, you've got your favourite
knife. Yes, you do.
You always reach for it.
It was his handmade
kitchen knife.
Wow.
Is it cut good?
Cut good?
Yeah, it cut really well that time.
Oh, I get it.
And so when you broke up, did you just hide it or just take it
and he had no option of getting it back?
Pretty much.
I just kind of tried to avoid bringing it up in conversation.
What knife?
Right, yeah, exactly.
What knife?
I don't see a knife.
What knife?
Did you pay for the knife? No. Oh, exactly. What knife? I don't see a knife. What are you talking about? What knife? Yeah, did you pay for the knife?
No.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, girl, take it.
Take it, take it.
Jim, thanks for your call.
Some messages in.
Elise said it's house keys.
Five years later, I've still got them.
I don't even know if they open the door anymore.
We should go around and try.
I reckon go around, even if he doesn't live there anymore.
The family that purchased it because the landlord sold it
because all of a sudden the house was worth way more
than the landlord paid for it.
You know the family might like to see it.
It's probably five townhouses by now.
It's absolutely bold.
Chuck those keys out, sister.
Throw them out.
Their debit card details, says Maddie.
I've kept a hold of them.
I don't know.
How much can you do before it'll pop up, they'll notice?
I reckon you could probably do a Netflix subscription.
Yeah, because you wouldn't even notice.
You'd be like, there it is.
I mean, you aren't breaking the law as soon as you do that.
Are you?
Yeah.
Says who?
Are you?
The police.
What?
The matching tattoo, Lucy says.
I'm left with the matching tattoo.
Regerts.
Big regerts there.
Flight credits for a trip last year.
He ended it
And I think he'd be too awkward to ask for them now
But it was under my name
So I get all the credits
Yes
I think it was
It's under the flying name isn't it?
Yeah it is
So when
Yeah we got a flight credit back after 2020 happened
Yeah
And it gave me like this amount and him this amount
Oh right
Yeah
So maybe he paid for this flight.
Yeah.
And they broke up so she got the flight credits back.
Well, you could use yours.
He's never going to be able to use your credits because they won't do that.
Yeah.
It's annoying.
Gabriel says $600 headphones are very nice headphones.
I did try to give them back in my defense.
And he said, well, I want to keep seeing you.
And she said, well, I don't want that.
And he said, well, keep the headphones because one day I'll come for them and we'll be seeing
each other.
And that's not how that works.
He's leaving a little seed.
Yeah, that's not how that works.
No, no.
She's also in her profile picture has a huge wolf looking dog.
So I'm imagining he's scared of that thing.
Yeah, probably.
Spare car key.
I didn't want the spare.
He gave me the spare car.
Go and take that car.
That's yours now.
Yeah, that's yours.
That's not how it works.
The key owner
Owns the car
Okay you're a lawyer now
I've seen enough
Police shows
To know that's
Against the law
Okay
Small heart shaped
Hot water bottle
It's now my period
And back pain
Hot water bottle
Because it's the perfect size
But it was his
And he left it behind
He had a little
Heart water bottle
For his period
Yeah
When he gets his I've had a little heart water bottle for his period. Yeah.
When he gets his cramps. I've never seen a heart water bottle.
That's cute.
It sounds cute.
Structurally, that's...
I wonder if he got it from a mum or a...
Yeah, maybe.
Where's the nozzle at the end of the tip?
I'd say it's in the middle where the heart curves come over in the middle.
That's where I'd put the nosy.
Yeah, right in the top there.
That doesn't sound structurally good to me.
Again, I will say this time of the year, heading into hot water bottle season.
Buy a new one.
Always buy a new one every season.
They're eight bucks.
No, what?
What a waste.
I was just about to say, remember, don't fill it with boiling hot water.
No, because I fill it.
Check the lids on tight and always have a hotty cover.
I fill it with boiling hot water.
I don't give a F about those warnings. cover. I fill it with boiling hot water. I don't give a F about those warnings.
Yeah, I do it with boiling hot. Do you know what I used to do
though until I realised that that was
the mankiest thing and Aaron was like, what?
Oh, you don't tip it back in the jug.
I did for a bit.
I just didn't even think about it.
You manki sprout.
I know. One day he was like pouring a coffee
and all this rubber came out.
And he was like, the hell is this?
Yeah, he's like.
And I was like.
It's the new Makona.
It's a rubber.
Makona water bomb flavor.
Yeah.
Gross.
Yuck.
I stopped.
Okay, good, good.
You've learned.
Yeah.
As for you, replacing your hot water bottle every year,
what, do you not give a F about future generations?
No, because I use hot water.
That's right.
I don't. I don't.
I don't.
Because I use...
I'm choking up here.
That's good!
That's how a whale will choke on your rubber hot water bottle
when it ends up in their ecosystem.
You thought you were breathing in krill
and you've breathed in a huge hot water bottle.
No, because I use boiling water.
I don't want a break in my hottie.
How often have you had a break in your hottie?
Never, but because I'm...
Even in boiling water, I reckon I could do at least two seasons.
Absolutely.
Well, I don't want my third-degree burn legs to take the risk.

The full name is Isabella, which I definitely don't mind,
but everyone seems to call me Izzy.
We'll go with that.
Izzy, okay.
Wait, was that one of the questions?
No, nope.
Just clarifying there.
Isabella, I'll give you the name as your mother gave it to you.
What is mum's favourite pet?
Oh, her favourite pet, that's a tricky one.

I might put Nadal instead.
Oh, okay.
Because I don't think it's going to be an Adina.
Yeah.
It might be slightly more.
You're not going to put down my mum's name Bev?
Because she doesn't like dogs.
Yeah, just cats.
Oh, she did go and show us the neighbour's dog that time we were there.
That's right. That was weird, wasn't it?
Yeah, because I thought she was
absolutely anti-dog. Yes, but
that was quite a cute little fluffy dog.
Yeah. You felt we stayed
too long. We definitely stayed too long.
Did you ever out-stay-your-welcome about it? I was like,
we need to get out of these people's house.
Him and his dad went and stood by the door and put
their shoes back on. Like, that's, hello Bev,
I think these men want to leave.
Wow.
I was just following the alpha, which in Fletcher's family is definitely his mum.

I'll put a Tracy down there.

I'm going to start thinking of people who's...
Did you put Karen down?
You've always got to have Karen.
Everyone's mum's name is Karen.

She turned 58 a couple of weeks ago.
Oh, young mum.
Young mum.
Yeah, so what is that, young mum, young mum.

She's a young mum. What does that tell you, Vaughn?
Vintage-wise.
She's probably going to be slightly, um...

You're walking right into Emma territory.
That kind of looks 58 minus 60s, late 60s.
Yeah.

Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Now, how do we feel about finding food and keeping it?
Depends on the state of the food and what the food is.
We wrapped.
Did it need to be refrigerated?
Did you find it in an unrefrigerated location? Okay, so this is actually my second time this year seeing something in the supermarket car park
that could easily be in the finders keepers
category. So you think it fell out of a trolley on the way
to the car? Well it was a pack of hot cross buns
now I don't like that much
carbs. Well you know I can tell
Man I love a hot cross bun. I don't
yeah I mean there are some good hot cross buns
dense, thick you know and got to be soaked
in butter. Oh dripping in it.
So these were the you know the supermarket
hot cross buns that they do in the bakery.
A bit dry.
A bit dry.
And yuck.
A bit yuck.
They're a bit cheap and dry.
A bit cheap and dry.
But they were like.
No, you know, you just need more butter.
Yeah, add more butter.
Well, yeah, you would literally have to have.
Moisten them with more butter.
Dip it in butter.
Like half a block of butter for a whole six pack.
You could melt down some butter in a ramekin, perhaps.
And just dip.
Dip and eat.
Sure. Dip and eat. See, I could probably do that but they see someone obviously dropped these genius thank
you somebody probably obviously dropped these out the back of the uh car or trolley when they were
loading and driven away and not seen or they dropped out of their bag but the second time
that's happened the first time uh earlier in the year a packet of um oreos just in the supermarket
car park unopened would you have taken those uh because they were red velvet flavor not
nice flavor red velvet flavor yeah and what's the red velvet the biscuit or the cream well the cream
is the cream cheese and a red velvet so it must have yeah must have tasted but red's just chocolate
no i think the icing was red.
But I was like, yuck, flavour.
If it had been that...
You know those Oreos?
I don't know if they do them here,
but in America,
it's like double thick icing.
I would have taken those.
I witnessed something the other day.
My daughter did this.
She sat down at the bench
and, Sade, this is another thing.
These kids don't know how lucky they are.
This is why I really have to tell them.
You know the little bags of chips? I didn't even get the little bags of chips to school. Oh, neither. You get little bags of Oreos now. Yes, I is another thing. These kids don't know how lucky they are. This is why I really have to tell them. You know the little bags of chips?
I didn't even get the little bags of chips to school.
Oh, neither.
You get little bags of Oreos now.
Yes, I've seen them.
With like eight Oreos in them.
They're mini Oreos.
They're not big size.
And she sat down with a knife, cracked open every Oreo,
and then scraped it and made one giant.
Oh, yeah.
Eight loads of icing between two biscuits.
She's like, mega Oreo.
And I was like, well done.
And she went and pushed it all in her mouth at once.
Did she eat the other biscuits though?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
So not wasted.
But I used to do that with cameo creams.
Oh, yum.
Spray the teeth down them?
Yeah.
And then chuck out the biscuit if I wasn't that hungry.
So you left the Oreos.
I left them and I left the hot cross buns.
But in these times, you know, when food and everything's so expensive.
You could have taken that.
It's such a waste to see it there.
That's like three meals.
I'm stuck on this idea of sort of a liquid butter dipping situation.
What about like a rip and dip hot cross bun?
So you heat them or toast them, you make them warm,
and then you don't eat the bun like as God intended
when he put his son on the cross and said everybody eat buns
and constantly think of the man who was brutally murdered.
There's no need to drink religion in Tohono K'os puns.
What are you doing that for?
Well, there's a cross on there and that is the time of the year.
I'm just putting two and two together.
Like rip them.
Like a pull apart.
Yeah, like a pull apart.
Like a pull apart.
But instead of pesto, it's just straight up salty butter.
Yeah.
Like when you get fish and chips at the beach and you get the little rip open tin.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
The rip and dip.
Okay, so is it primarily a butter dip that we're concentrating on here?
Or just microwave butter in a cup?
But is there something else we could be adding to the garlic?
To the...
No.
I was thinking if this was savory, garlic and salt would be... Chocolate chips. Cocoa. Chocolate the. No. What I was thinking of this was savory. Garlic would be.
Garlic and salt would be.
Chocolate chips.
Cocoa.
Chocolate chips.
Yes, cocoa.
Cocoa.
Cocoa.
Like a buttery chocolate.
Like chocolate icing, but without the icing sugar.
Or maybe like a chocolate.
Chocolate.
Yeah, but then you get into Sally Lunn territory.
Okay.
And then, okay.
So you've got a ramekin of butter and then beside it a ramekin of chocolate chips.
Dip in the butter, dip in the chip.
Like a batter, like a panko crumb with an egg.
And then straight in the gob.
And because you're not technically, your mouth's not touching it in between.
No.
So the dip, the cross-contamination is going to be absolutely fine
because you're mixing the butter with the chocolate chips.
I think you've just nailed Easter.
I'm literally going to eat this tonight.
Next year, because this is going to need some product and development time.
For Easter.
Yeah.
You can have a little, like, accompaniment that goes with the package.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A rip and dip.
Yeah.
Good, you're an ideas man.
I tell you what.
You're an ideas man.
All right, calories, absolutely zero calories.
Because it's holidays, right?
Yeah, we'll make it low-cal.
We'll make it low-cal.
Holiday cals.
Zero fat.
Apart from the butter, which is 100% fat.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Today's fact of the day is about chess.
Okay.
Oh.
Still haven't seen the Queen's Gambit.
Oh, you simply must.
You simply must.
Really?
Yes.
That's really great.
Okay.
Today's fact of the day is in 17 years, humans have not beat a computer at chess.
What? The last time a human
beat a computer
under normal chess tournament conditions
was in 2005
when
Pono Mariov
versus Fritz, and I don't
know which one was the computer.
Could have been either.
Yeah.
In November 2005, three former FID World Chess Champions,
Alexandra Klaffman, Ruslan Ponomarov, and Rastam Kasimdanov
played computers against Hydra, Junior, and Fritz.
The computers won 8-4.
And the last time, yeah, it was Fritz versus Ponomarov.
That was the last time that a human bet a computer at a game of chess.
They're going to be our computer overlords one day, aren't they?
Oh, they absolutely will be, and I have nothing but respect for them.
Why would people play computer against chess then?
A chess against a computer.
Yeah, why would they?
Why? Well, they're trying to beat them. Well, they're trying to beat them. You can't. No against a computer? Yeah. Why would they? Why?
Are they trying to beat them up?
Or they're trying to beat them.
We can't.
No, I know.
Yeah.
But surely there's a way.
Unless you pour a jug of water
on the computer.
Yeah, or just
do it during the power cut.
Who's the winner now?
They're like,
go, it's your turn.
Go, it's your turn.
Why you can't go?
You suck your little...
And then it's like,
I have developed
an internal battery.
Be like, okay. Shit, mate. Swipe them all off. You win. And then it's like I have developed an internal battery Okay
Shit mate
Swipe them all off
You win
It's quit
Yeah so in 2005
Coming up 17 years ago
Was the last time humans were capable of beating computer at a game of chess
We're all dead
This is Terminator
What's her name?
Oh the chick that was the Queen's gambit
Yeah, she would be able to do it
She was good
She was pretty good at chess
Yeah, right
She was really good at the whole thing
She's quite fond of Green Pearl too
Yeah, oh yeah
Big fan of a tranky
Oh
Big fan of a tranky before bedtime
Hold on to the mattress
Watch the chess happen on the ceiling
Also, it's more than just chess
Oh yeah, it's a great
It's a great You should watch it It's been on the list for like a year just chess. Oh, yeah. It's a great, it's a great, you should watch it.
Okay.
Well, it's been on the list for like a year now.
It's really, really good.
It's really good.
So today's fact of the day is don't bother playing a computer at chess because you shan't
win.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah. Now a few years ago
And by a few I mean nearly three
Times are ticking
I was proposed to
Yet to be married
But there's no timer on it
Nine years so far?
Well three years engaged
Eleven years together Right Not married But we're timer on it. Nine years so far? Well, three years engaged, 11 years together.
Right.
Not married, but we're working on it.
Right.
But when I received an engagement ring, one, I had given him some clues about what it was.
And two, I was excited and I said yes.
But that doesn't happen for everyone.
No.
For every happy story, I'm sure there was a sad story. Well, jewelers have been sharing
the top reasons why people
return engagement rings.
What is, when you say you went
to buy an engagement ring,
what is the return policy normally?
Because there's nothing wrong with it.
No, I mean, it depends.
Was it custom made?
Or did you buy it from the shelf?
If it was custom made, you couldn't return it, surely.
No, you'd have to go to old cashies.
You'd have to be willing to accept a loss on it if you were to return a custom.
But if you were to return one that was off the shelf and will go back onto the shelf,
no harm, no foul.
Yeah.
Surely.
Well, they've shared the top reasons why people return engagement rings.
While they'll make an engagement ring, send it off with the proposer
and why it will come back into the shop.
The first reason, which is actually not too bad, wrong style or size.
So I got mine resized after I was proposed to.
It was a little big, a little bit big, and I was scared it was going to fall off,
so I got it resized
I think that's very common
Are you like, Aaron, do you think I've got giant hands?
Do you think I've got big
Sausage fingers
Man hands
No, it was only slightly
It was just that it sort of got nervous
You know, that I'd go like that and it would fly off
Sweaty and it would fly off
Especially when I'm out and about, you know
I'm not paying attention to my fingies
So I got it resized
But that happens all the time It's not easy to, you know, subt'm not paying attention to my fingies. So I've got it resized, but that happens all the time.
It's not easy to, you know, subtly measure your bride-to-be's finger.
Or the wrong style, and that leads to the second reason why engagement rings get
in turn, lack of conversation.
So perhaps, like, if you're going to propose, some men will just make a wild
stab in the dark about what their partner, some proposers, sorry, might make a wild stab in the dark
about what their partner wants in a ring
without kind of actually having a conversation about it at some point.
And then they'll get some kind of weird ring
that they'll never in a thousand years wear.
And that's a reason that'll come back.
They didn't sort of chat about it, what they wanted.
The third reason
is an upgrade. So if
your fiancé
has proposed to you with a little
itty bitty diamond that's not enough for you,
you might go yes to the marriage,
no to that little tiddly thing.
That's gotta hurt.
But also
upgrade because it might also be ugly.
Not just ring size, it might also be ugly not just ring size
it might just be
no but that's the last one
which is like
that's the lack of conversation
right
if it's a style thing
that's better to go like
look
yes I want to marry you
it's just not my style
so let's go shopping
for something else
this is
I want
a bigger
better one
wow
this is why I say that literally
they come in for upgrades
they want bigger and better diamonds and Wow, okay. This is why I say that literally, they come in for upgrades.
They want bigger and better diamonds.
And then the second to last reason is a failed proposal.
So he's tried.
They say no, bring it back.
I don't need this.
That's pretty straightforward.
And then the last reason is a breakup
further down the line.
And jewelers say that they have this.
So they've proposed.
The person has accepted and said yes
and then further down the line they split
and then they try to take the ring back and be like,
what can I do with this?
Oh, gotcha.
Mount it down.
Use that for something.
A lot of the time it's past the return or exchange window.
Often the jewelers will just send them off to a porn shop and go, nah
Oh wow, okay
Good lord
Good luck
You're losing money on that
Try and claw back some money on that
You don't want to buy for your engagement a second hand engagement ring that's already carrying a curse
Yeah
No, I'd absolutely accept a second hand engagement ring
Why not?
Pretty diamonds Pretty diamonds.
Pretty diamonds?
You could probably afford to get more.
Because what, some woman wore it for a short amount of time and then realised it wasn't the magic ring.
I was just on the Michael Hill website
when we were talking about refund policies.
Yes. And it says here,
you may return new items sold and
unfulfilled online by Michael
Hill or install within 30 days for a full refund,
excluding personalized with engraving.
Oh, yeah, engraving.
Oh, yeah.
And then I just left the page open and the auto chat bot popped up.
And they said, feel free to reach out with questions.
I said, where is Michael?
And Tamara has just said, hi, thanks for chatting today.
Sorry, I'm unsure what you mean.
What does she mean?
Michael Hill.
You weren't specific with your Michaels.
Where's Michael Hill?
Michael Hill.
And then comma, jeweler.
Can I please talk to Michael Hill comma jeweler?
Michael Hill, jeweler.
Jeweler.
It's me, Michael Hill, jeweler.
How many times do you reckon Michael Hill practiced saying jeweler?
And again?
I reckon he was practicing when his house burned down.
Michael Hill, jeweler.
Now she's ignoring me. I think she's
a robot. Are you serious?
Michael Hill has a robot running the website?
Well, he's doing well for himself. That's why he can
afford all the best robots. He's got that
yacht, doesn't he? He's got a yacht.
Looks like a navy frigate. He's got a golf course.'t he? He's got a yacht. That big, looks like a Navy frigate.
He's got a golf course.
That's not the experience you want.
Michael Hill, jeweler.
Michael Hill.
Oh no, she thinks I'm asking for where a store is.
No, no, where is Michael Hill?
Can you say, where is Michael Hill, jeweler, hyphen, the man?
I did and she said, we have a number of stores.
Where are you looking to locate a store?
The man. I'm just closing the window. No, no, we need to number of stores. Where are you looking to locate a store? The man.
I'm just closing the window.
No, I'm closing the window.
We need to find out where he is.
Maybe Google can help me.
I nearly made an online shopping mistake.
Nearly?
Nearly.
I was literally one click away.
Okay.
So I've been crawling.
Crawling?
Trawling.
Trawling.
Like a fishing trawler.
Yeah, with a net out the back and the sea of AliExpress for Suzuki Jimny accessories,
little bits and pieces.
Oh, God, I know I shouldn't, but I love AliExpress.
God, that'll be a bit off-brand, won't it?
What's that?
What have you found on AliExpress? Well, be a bit Off brand won't it What's that What have you found
On AliExpress
Well most of it's
Not branded
Suzuki
But it's just little
Bits and pieces
Oh yeah
Like what
What kind of stuff
Do you want to add to it
Okay so some stuff
I've got so far
Is there's this
Around the handbrake
There's a lot of space
And someone crafted
A plastic thing
That sits around
The handbrake
That can have your Wallet and keys and an additional cup holder.
Oh, okay.
That's nice.
Double drink.
That sort of thing.
How many cup holders do you have?
Two cup holders.
Because I saw this amazing thing.
It just kind of was targeted advertising.
And you put it in your cup holder and then an arm comes out
and it becomes another cup holder.
So you can have the original cup holder and a new cup holder.
Two cup holders.
Two cup holder and a one.
So you've got two already and you want three.
Well, that back a little bit.
One would be more located up the front.
Right.
Slightly forward.
And then, I'm not saying I'm going to, but I am contemplating there's an armrest attachment
you can get that sits in the two original cup holders
wow so you can have a bit of a lean around all these white girls that have suzuki jimneys are
they doing this as well are they accessorizing who knows yeah who knows you've got the roof racks
yeah they were like they were a legit they're a legit nice roof you got that toe plate thing
that you put on the yeah the recovery point yeah recovery point. Yeah. Yeah, but I'm just looking for little bits.
So yesterday, because now because I started,
I'm constantly being advertised.
Oh, yeah. Every advertising window on various websites,
there'll be a chimney and little bits and pieces for chimneys.
And yesterday I saw something.
I was like, oh, I want one of that.
And it was these two lots to it.
These four-wheel drive, these tracks.
So when you get stuck, you can ram this board under your wheel
and it will help you get out of it if you've dug yourself a hole.
How often are you getting stuck somewhere?
Yeah.
Always good to have the option to get out.
Okay.
It doesn't speak very well of the Jimny as a four-wheel drive
if you have to keep getting yourself unstuck.
To be honest, it's aesthetically pleasing.
Oh, they look cool.
They sit on the outside of the back window.
It makes you look pretty tough.
And they're like ball.
I've seen them.
They do look pretty cool.
Yeah, they look pretty cool.
You look like you're into some outdoor action.
Yeah, okay, that's hot.
That's hot.
So I saw some that came with the thing that straps to the outside of your car.
Yep.
And then beside it, I saw just the four-wheel drive things to get you out.
The little skateboard-sized things that you ram under the wheel.
Now, the ones there, they were two bucks.
Jeep is great, but it's cheap.
The Express is so great.
So good.
I know.
So I'm like, add to cart.
Like, I don't need the rack for the outside at the moment.
I'll just have these.
I'll put them somewhere.
Yep.
You know, for any situation.
Click next one.
Add to cart.
Go to shop.
Yeah.
Except just about to do the final click.
And I was looking again and I thought to myself, what does RC mean?
And that's when it struck me that RC means remote control.
Apparently.
And that's why they were $2.
Yes.
I wish you hadn't have seen that.
Me too.
You would have got a little ding.
Little package.
Package at reception for you, Vore.
And you're like, here it comes.
Although you can't laugh because a few months ago,
your fiance got you a Swiss ball and it was a mini Swiss ball.
Do you remember that?
Yes.
I asked him to go buy me a Swiss ball and and he bought a netball-sized exercise thing.
Size can be very deceiving.
It can be.
Did you find the actual ones for your car?
Yeah.
I mean, they're reasonably priced,
but now that I've seen $2, everything seems really expensive.
I was so prepared to spend $2.
$2?
I don't want to spend $200.
No. Oh, and free postage. I'm like like, I was so prepared to spend two bucks. Two bucks? I don't want to spend 200. No.
Oh, and free postage.
I'm like, hard to beat.
So the hunt continues.
