Starting point is 00:00:00 For a few years, in the 1970s, the Mr Asia syndicate made millions. Heroin creates its own market. It acts like a form of play. Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down. Then he just pulled out a gun, shot her in the back of the head, and then said to Wayne, you're going to help me bury her. This is Mr Asia, A Forgotten History. All episodes now available on iHeartRadio, Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:00:34 Hello, welcome to the Fleeche, Vaughan and Hayley podcast. It's thanks to McCafe Graber Rich Smooth Barista Made Coffee. The day after the shortest day of the year, and it is cold. Your nipples are staring me in the eye. Yeah, I was questioning whether or not to wear this white shirt today. It is very, like, if the nipples start pointing, this shirt doesn't hide them. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:00:57 However, I had a last minute, you know how I just grab clothes and it doesn't matter to me? I had a last minute change of plans. Okay. Because I bought a pair of jeans, same brand as these, but in a different color. Oh, okay. And for some reason they fit different. Oh, I hate that. They're a bit tighter, which is weird because I made sure I purchased
Starting point is 00:01:15 just the black version of these. They stretch a little bit. So you've just got to keep wearing them. But these are new. These are new and they fit better. Oh. And so I'm going to fabric soften them anyway. This morning I was in no such mood to squeeze into black pants and start my day bad.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Not a lot of sleep. Late night in Hamilton. A lot of eating yesterday. I had a fucking amazing sandwich yesterday. Ruben. Oh, so nice. Ruben's sandwich. Jesus. It was a... Oh, Ruben's sandwich sandwich.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Jesus. It was a, oh, the closest to climax the sandwich has put me in. It was slutty. And it was, I couldn't eat enough. I couldn't eat it quick enough
Starting point is 00:01:53 and then when I'd eaten it I just was full of regret at rushing things. Much like sex actually. I couldn't get it done quick enough but then when I was done I regretted rushing things.
Starting point is 00:02:02 And then when we got to Hamilton we were like, go on, I'm full. And they said, do you guys want anything from the bar menu? We're like, yep. And we ordered one of everything. That was delicious.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Truly a lot of food. Yeah, so with that kind of in my mind, I didn't want to squeeze into the black. But then I had the black jeans, but then I stayed with this white shirt, and it's cold, and yeah, it's a very nipple-dominant. We can see your nipples. Fletch, yours are dormant? They're tiny. No, they're there.
Starting point is 00:02:27 They're just tiny little. No, I can't see them. Tiny. Yeah. Do me, do me. What am I doing? New comment. The ZM Podcast Network.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley. Shall we start? Far out. Another one. The floorboards. The floorboards were cold this morning. Yeah, everyone wants a polished floorboard until it's winter, don't they? Oh, they look pretty, don't they?
Starting point is 00:02:53 They look great. They're right in summer and then they're drafty and freezing cold in winter. What was the car temperature gauge saying on the way to work this morning? Mine was three just up the road from you. The chimney was like one and here's a snow icon. Well, just as I look around the country, the coldest place right now is Omadama. Always is.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Central Otago, isn't it? Minus 9.9. It's minus five in Queenstown. It's minus two in Christchurch. Wellington, a balmy seven degrees. Jeepers. Oh, Wellington. That's why they call it the Rarotonga, don't they?
Starting point is 00:03:29 Is it one of those good days? Yeah. Well, it's going to be another clear day across the country, which does mean cold. And yes, one in Hamilton, seven in Auckland at the moment. It's a little snapshot of around the country. Gorgeous. Chilly. Gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Chilly. Freezing. Speaking of trying to escape this cold, I've got the hottest honeymoon destinations of 2022. Okay. Is this a push
Starting point is 00:03:58 to get your marriage happening sooner? Oh my God, I sort of forgot my engagement ring. I was like, oh, let's just give up on it. Yeah, a little bit of a push.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Yeah, right. Right. I've got to have the wedding before the honeymoon. Yeah. Do you though? You can probably do it reverse order nowadays. Do it at the same time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Get married on the honeymoon. Yeah. What a move. Good idea. Are the top six coming up? Yeah, there's been a study by Randstad. This is a survey Randstad
Starting point is 00:04:26 Not Randstein The German heavy metal band Prolific in the early 2000s No not them Randstad Yeah That has found the most Attractive place to work
Starting point is 00:04:36 Now when I read the headline I thought that's inappropriate Yeah Just walk into an office And be like Hotty It must be in Naughty
Starting point is 00:04:43 Yeah it must be in Denmark Or Copenhagen or is that what you mean? No, no, no. It's New Zealand's most attractive place to work. Right. By meaning like
Starting point is 00:04:51 as a potential employee. Right, like free pastries. Things stack up. Yeah. Yes. Okay. This is the award that Air New Zealand won
Starting point is 00:05:00 for like three years in a row but then I guess they couldn't win it this year because they fired everybody. They didn't do anything. Yeah. They fired everyone and they just sat there for a bit.
Starting point is 00:05:08 And then their staff were like, can I get the money back for those flights? And then, hey, can I have some credit? And they're like, I don't want to go anywhere.
Starting point is 00:05:15 I can't go anywhere. Yeah. Your credit's expired. But yeah, what made this, I'll tell you what the place is and what specifically made it. In today's top six reasons,
Starting point is 00:05:23 it was the most attractive place to work. All right, next on the show. It's been a standoff. Okay. A standoff upon a bus. Okay. Over something that I'm passionate about.
Starting point is 00:05:35 All right. I've chosen my side. So there's a woman in the UK who was out quite late. It was close to midnight. Oh, okay. And she was just trying to head on her way home. She's a 23-year-old woman. She's travelling on her own around London.
Starting point is 00:05:52 A 40-minute journey to her house. Got on the bus and the driver immediately asked her to get off the bus because she had in her hot little hand a hot box of hot chicken. Some delicious No eating on the bus. Delicious chicken wings did she have upon her. She wasn't eating them.
Starting point is 00:06:12 She just had bought them and was taking them home to devour. I'm assuming she's going home drunk? Well, she was. I mean, no, that was not even in the In the article. In the article. You'd assume though if it was late at night.
Starting point is 00:06:28 But there's a video of it, and she's like, no. She's not intoxicated. Maybe she had a few drinks. I mean, if you're getting fried chicken wings at midnight in the middle of London City heading home, one would assume that drinky poos are on board. So he said, you've either got to get rid of that or get off. And they had this argument. And she's like, why not?
Starting point is 00:06:45 Like, so when is this a rule? And he was like, it's offensive. And then there is a rule on the buses. I don't know what it is over here. But in the buses in England, if you've got a food that will cause offense, you can't come on. Right, because it's a wafty smell.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Nothing offensive about a hot chicken. I know that the Kentucky buses have rules like this, like for hot food, because it gets in the air con vents. Right. And it goes everywhere. Well, that's the thing. He says it's going to stink out the whole bus.
Starting point is 00:07:20 So then she, with her hot chicken, was just like, nah, that's ridiculous. And she was scared that she'd be left on her own, you know. At night in the dark. At night in London, on the dark, 23 years old. Was nothing but a chicken wing to protect herself. So she just went upstairs. It was a double-decker.
Starting point is 00:07:36 And was the driver okay with that? Get out, get out, get down. And then everyone on the rest of the bus was just like yelling at him, like, carry on, move on. Like, who cares? And they were also like, hot chicken. I'm going to get me some hot chicken. Do you know what I smelt this morning on the way to work? And I don't know, I always come the same way to work every day.
Starting point is 00:07:55 And I don't know why today I smelt it. Maybe the wind was going a different way. But you've never smelt it before? No, never. It was bakery. I was going to say. It was fresh bread. Oh, the bread.
Starting point is 00:08:04 It was like, because there's a couple of bakeries around. Oh my God, it was? No, never. It was bakery. I was going to say. It was fresh bread. Oh, the bread. It was like, because there's a couple of bakeries around. Oh my God, it was so good. Yum. I was like, yum. Carbohydrates. I always just think that early mornings in the city smell like Marmite,
Starting point is 00:08:17 but it's the smell of like burnt coffee. You know that smell that can sometimes fill the air in the CBD if you're near like a roastery? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You get a smell, it's like, oh God, why does the city smell you're near like a roastery? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You get a smell. It's like, oh God, why does this city smell like Marmite? Yeah. It's not.
Starting point is 00:08:29 It's burnt off. That's also the smell of a, is it brewing that smells a bit like Marmite? Yeah, because it's the yeast. Which is a pleasant change because normally the inner city smells like piss. Smells like, yeah. Piss and squalor. And a hidden poos. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Can we ask our lovely resident vegetarian, Carween, at the social media desk, if someone was to come on with, you know, like a grocery, say, a grocery hot chop. Oh, yeah. Would you be offended, Carween? I can appreciate that they smell pretty good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:59 What's the vegetarian, like, version of smell? Tofu doesn't smell. Like mushrooms. Someone gets on a bus and it Tofu doesn't smell. Like mushrooms. Someone gets on a bus and it stinks like mushrooms. No. Yuck. Like a fungal... Chips.
Starting point is 00:09:11 I don't know. Hot chips. Oh, but hot chips are so good. Yeah, the girl loves a bit of a hot chip. Yeah, hot chips. As long as they're cooked in animal fat. Yes, of course. Duck fat.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Duck fat potatoes. Duck fat potatoes. Yum. Actually, Carwain, some great news for you. Soon on the show, there's rumours of a new Whittaker's chocolate, which you'll love, being a veg-er-an. A veg-er-an? A veg-er-an.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Who's that guy from England that sings those songs? Are you a vegan or a vegetarian? Vegetarian. Okay, well, a great use of vegans. You love a bit of cheese, don't you? Yeah, yeah. Love a bit of cheese. You'll live life.
Starting point is 00:09:43 That's soon on the show. But next on the show, one in five people would quit their job because of this one thing. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. A study, and this is out of America, so bear this in mind. One in five workers would quit their workplace unless their office gets eco-friendly. So apparently it's a bit of a, because I don't know, we've worked here for, what, eight years at NZME, and we've always had the recycle bins, haven't we?
Starting point is 00:10:11 Yeah. Is that all you need to do? You've got to. Do you use them? Have you used them correctly for the last eight years? Yeah, I would say the little bin in our studio here, that's mixed. Well, that's mixed. But outside we've got the, I can put my mandarins in the waste here. That's mixed. Well, that's mixed. But outside we've got the,
Starting point is 00:10:25 I can put my mandarins in the waste bin. Yeah. And then I put my newspaper in the recycle. Yeah. And then I put my car batteries in the landfill.
Starting point is 00:10:35 In the landfill. Yeah. You're a hero. I am a hero, yeah. Just as long as the mandarins in the green one. Where do you put your asbestos? Just downstairs in the car park.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Bingo, that's right. In the big bin. Yep, that's correct. In the big communal skip. Well, Vaughan, you do a lot of recycling here at work. I do. You'll bring in your boxes. Polystyrene, flat cardboard boxes.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Filling wrap. Yeah. Well, here's the choice. The bin at home will be full. Do I burn it or do I bring it to work and recycle? Just burn it. But, you know, every now and then. Yeah, you love using the work bins. be full, do I burn it or do I bring it to work and recycle? Just burn it. I must. But, you know, like every now and then.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Yeah, you love using the work bins. I love using the work bins. Yeah, love it. I just want it to go to the right place, you know? Yeah. But what else? What did we get the other day? Didn't we all receive a booking for something and it had the carbon emissions of a hotel that we're going to stay at?
Starting point is 00:11:24 For our tour. I didn't like that. I didn't think that was necessary. At the bottom of the booking, it told me how many... Suits. How many kilograms of carbon dioxide my stay at the hotel will be. Yeah. And if the same place had booked the flights, they'd put that on there as well.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Who knew going to Tauranga for a night would be so carbon emitting? Yeah, be ruining the planet. Well, just the hotel aspect of it Was 10.4 or 10.9? Something like that. That's because they... Kg's of carbon dioxide. But that's because you run a big bath and all that water heating.
Starting point is 00:11:53 God, he loves a rub-a-dub-dub, doesn't he? He does a bath bomb. He loves a bath. And a big warm bath. There better be a local Lush. Oh, yeah. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:03 A glittery bath bomb that's pH neutral from a vaginal health. Are you looking after your vaginal health? Absolutely. Every time I have a bath with a bath bomb, my first thought is, what will this mean for my vaginal health? He's tried some low brand bath bombs and they've been, they've played absolute havoc down there.
Starting point is 00:12:21 UTIs. Oh, God. Yeah. You can't get glitter in that region. Very true. And that's not eco either, glitter. Small plastics. And the bath bombs, well, I speak because I asked.
Starting point is 00:12:34 It's degradable. It's all natural shimmeries. Oh, yeah, what's that stuff they put in makeup? You get it from like clay. Asbestos. Asbestos. That's what I do to get a nice shimmer on the cheeks. Get some asbestos happening. Would you quit a job?
Starting point is 00:12:49 Like the study's saying one in five would quit a job if the workplace is not eco. A lot of big talk. Yeah, a lot of big talk. But also depends what they're doing. If you're working for a multinational oil company, then yeah, yeah. Sure, put a recycling bin in the office.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Get a paper shredder. What scale are we talking? Yeah. I mean, you've got to pay the bills, don't you, at the end of the day? There won't be any bills when the planet's on fire. Yeah, it's not until the last tree's cut down you realise you can't eat money.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Could you? No. No nutrients. Upset your stomach. Yeah, there's nothing to it yeah okay nothing to money well that'd be on the way out as well especially the coins
Starting point is 00:13:29 right I don't know that that'd break down uh twenty past six next on the show yummy yummy yeah a new vegetarian

Starting point is 00:13:42 always said vegan did she not know to try to make it fancier. And she also says palio. Instead of paleo? Yeah. So I might do a little bit of palio for a while. Palio diet.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Is that vegan? That goes for me. Patsy. It's very opposite to vegan. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Yummy, yummy, yummy. In my tummy. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Well, can oat milk even be considered vegan when you think how many rodents and insects are killed using pesticides and poisons to keep the oat crop unaffected?
Starting point is 00:14:23 I'll leave you with that. Thank you very much. Good frothy alternative, though. I love an oat milk mocha. God, it's frothy. It's thick. Yeah, it's good. It's not like almond milk.
Starting point is 00:14:33 We're done with that, eh? Was that almond the curdley? Yeah, almond gets all curdley. Almond's a bit curdley and long-winded. It makes your coffee look like a miso. Yes, little bits go floating around. It's got big miso energy. Yeah. Well, this is go floating around. Got big miso energy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Well, this is great news for lovers of chocolate. Hello, chocolate lovers. There's heavy rumours. Have they confirmed it? Last night when I saw it, they had not confirmed it. Oh, I tell you what, Typen Whittaker's oat milk is right at the top. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:59 So would this, correct me if I'm wrong, this would be the first chocolate that vegans could enjoy from the range? No. Have they done one before? The dark Ghana ones don't have dairy. And it's like 99% Ghana. Yeah, I mean, it's like eating a bag of soot, but vegans can enjoy that. I love dark, dark chocolate, that bitter.
Starting point is 00:15:19 It stops you eating a whole row at a time. Yeah, I quite like it. Half a row at a time. But if you're trying to eat good, you're like, oh, just have a little square. I just have this thing square. Because it's 95% Ghana
Starting point is 00:15:30 and then you end up, you still eat half a block. I know, and then you're like, I might smother some peanut butter on this. Yeah. Try to freshen it up a bit. Everybody's asking the question that they're releasing their first
Starting point is 00:15:39 block of oat milk chocolate. So it's not milk. It's not chocolate milk. It's chocolate. It's a block of chocolate made with oat milk. Because So it's not milk. It's not chocolate milk. It's chocolate. It's a block of chocolate made with oat milk. Because normally they use dairy milk. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Yeah. I wonder how that's going to taste. That's going to be interesting, isn't it? I have enjoyed in my days of trying to fix whatever's happening in my stomach quite a few vegan chocolates made out of alternative milks. Yummy.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Okay. Coconut milk chocolate. Really, really yum. Yeah. Haven't tried an oat, I don't believe. So this actually came up. It spread on Twitter, didn't it? And the spinoff picked up and ran with an article yesterday.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Yeah. Somebody Googled. It's in the Herald today. Is it? So there was a Google search and it just appeared in a search. And that's kind of what sparked the rumours. Yeah, but the link was dead to click through to be like, it was like purchasable.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Right. So they got it planned but hadn't released it yet. Ooh. Okay. Come on, Wodekers. Come on, answer. Answer the people. I think this will be yummy.
Starting point is 00:16:43 So it's just a normal, there's no bits in it? It's just oat milk. What do you mean there's no bits in it? It's just a plain, it's like buying a dairy milk. Yeah, it's just, it's oaty milk or whatever they would call it as a dairy substitute. Okay. Straight. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:01 I don't know, yeah. Maybe it's got little leaves in it and seeds. I mean, we're hypothesising about a chocolate that doesn't exist so they might release an oat milk but the photo's been taken
Starting point is 00:17:09 it's got a wrapper no but that's so easy to make people have made petrol and cigarette flavoured Whittaker's labels before
Starting point is 00:17:18 I haven't seen the petrol it's a lot of effort to go to yeah but it was like in when you searched Whittaker's to buy. Yeah, right. It popped up alongside places you could actually buy it.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Okay. So is that a supermarket's website that's given that away by the looks of it or Google? So the picture said, yeah, they'd Googled shop or buy Whittaker's oat chocolate and it came up. It's a New World link. But the link's dead. So New World have got it there in their system ready to go. Maybe. Spilled the beans too early. All the oat milk beans.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Yeah, spilled the bag of kernels. The oat seeds. Yeah, the oat seeds. Spilled the steel cuts. Yeah. What if it was like an Anzac-y, you know, so it actually had oats in it. It was made of oat milk. Oh, that would be disgusting.
Starting point is 00:18:11 And then bits of crumbly Anzac-y oats. No. Yum. Yeah. Like golden syrup. Yum. I'm on board now. Crumbly.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Don't you like the Anzac biscuits? I hate Anzac biscuits. I hate them so much. Oh, wow. Well, thank you for your service, Anzac biscuits. I hate them so much. Oh wow, well thank you for your service Anzac soldiers. They would have taken squiggles if they were around. They couldn't have squiggles in the
Starting point is 00:18:34 trenches of Gallipoli? No, but I'm saying if squiggles were invented they would have taken them. You're probably right. You always go a squiggle over at Anzac. Tough times though. There's not time for a bougie biscuit. That was the thing about it. It travelled well, lasted ages and it was very simple to make. Yeah over at Anzac. Tough times, though. There's not time for a bougie biscuit. That was the thing about it. It travelled well, lasted ages, and it was very simple to make. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:48 The Anzac. Because marshmallows as well. No, the Mallow Pals would take up too much room in your army coat as well. They'd crack. Yeah, the whole top would crack if you were in the trenches of war and Gallipoli. This is a New Zealand company that looks at workplaces and tells you if they're good to work at or not. Okay. Their attractive qualities, all those sorts of things. They do the survey every year.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Yeah, yeah. And you did mention before that Air New Zealand won three years in a row. They were ineligible, uneligible to enter this year? Yeah, it was because they fired everybody, didn't they? Not great. I mean, they had to, the pandemic. Of course. Is this based on actual employee experience or is this based on actual employee experience

Now, someone's in trouble with the Tenancy Tribunal and their landlord. Okay. Anytime I hear Tenancy Tribunal, it makes me want to cry.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Because you know when you were flatting and you had no power and like no power within yourself to uh stick it to the man even though you lived in a wet house with a broken door and you know like no key or anything like that yeah and they wouldn't fix the shower yeah and then you start researching like tenancy tribunal everyone's like don't bother just move anyway so someone's in trouble better now though but i think yeah because they've got more rules now like you know you they've got to have insulation and heating and stuff. Yeah, I think there's the perception now that the Tenancy Tribunal
Starting point is 00:33:08 is there for the tenant, not for the landlord. The rich land daddy. Anyway, so someone, a business in Auckland, has been running a, quote, posh, a posh doggy daycare service, servicing Auckland's wealthiest suburbs. Looking after their shipoos and their pommy schnauzer and their... Yeah, pomskies. Pomskies.
Starting point is 00:33:33 And bernoodles. Same bernoodle. Labra. Labradines. Labramation. Anyway, so they run this whole business out of their property. They've got like a sign printed truck and everything for the doggies. And it's ooh la la.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Right. But the bloody landlord didn't know they were using the building to do that. So it was like a flat. They'd rented a place. They'd rented a place. And is it in Dairy Flat? Is that fancy? Dairy Flat?
Starting point is 00:34:07 Kind of farmy? Yeah, it's farmy. There's some fancy. We've kind of got Dairy Flat. I was getting for you. Flatbush is South Auckland. Dairy Flat is North. By that beach.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Coatesville. Oh, please. There'd be a bit of money up there. I've been by the Kim.com mansion. Oh my God, that thing is hideous. Anyway, so she was running this business out of this house. Somebody doesn't want some Zuru water balloons. I take it back, I take it back.
Starting point is 00:34:38 You're not getting free water balloons for Christmas. Anyway, so she was running this whole business out of it. It was like not only a doggy daycare, but like a, they could stay a couple of days. Not quite a kennels, but like if you're a bougie puppy,
Starting point is 00:34:50 you know, you wanted to pop away to Waheke for the weekend. And the landlord had no idea that there was a business out of this place. Yeah, so then when they came to do an inspection,
Starting point is 00:34:59 this business owner was caught trying to hide the dogs. So that they didn't know. But they couldn't have come and done an inspection without the full warning, right? 72 hours notice. You have to give notice, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:10 And then that's the day you take the dogs to the beach. Yeah, but you'd also have to hide all of the set up because the doggy daycare wouldn't have grooming stuff and tables. Yeah, well, she's saying that like, no, I was allowed to run this business here. Right. That was established in 2015.
Starting point is 00:35:24 And they were like, we didn't know there were going to be all these dogs here. Absolutely destroying our hardwood floors and our curtains and our lights. They were surely going to be inside. They would have been in a garage or a shed or a room. So that's why it's gone to the tribunal. That's why it's with the tribunal. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:38 I don't know where it's at now. Oh, my God. Yes. I just saw the property. It's a manor. Oh wow, that's beautiful. It's ooh la la. Yeah, that's ooh la la.
Starting point is 00:35:48 How are you going to afford the rent on that if you're not running a side hustle to pay for it? Yeah, that feels like a house you own. No, not rent. I don't know if you can rent manors. Anyway, very fancy. In a bit of trouble with this. Right.
Starting point is 00:36:00 But it kind of reminded me of the good old days of flatting. Because I was going to say, very rich of you to have any comment on this, Vaughan, when you used to have to hide your dog every flat inspection.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Yeah, yeah, yeah. We had our cat for a good couple of years from our flat in Wellington. And you'd have to hide them when they did inspections? Yeah. We were just lucky
Starting point is 00:36:21 that our house had a cat flap. Yeah. But we didn't install it. I was already there. And it was already there, but the rule was no pets. So we used the cat flap, but we'd just lock it. And if he tried to come in, we'd be like,
Starting point is 00:36:32 God, that bloody mongrel trying to get in the bloody house. Scamper out of here, you bloody mongrel. Get out of here. Come back later. Oh, boy. Yeah, we used to take the dog for a very long walk or drop it off for the day somewhere. What did you do with the cat?
Starting point is 00:36:47 I can't remember what you did with the cat. Just chuck it outside. I think much the same as that. Yeah, cats. I don't know. You just give them a scare. I don't know what the story is with that cat. Give them a scare.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Light a Roman candle in the backyard. A daytime Roman candle. Yeah. I once spray- I can't believe I did this my first ever flat i spray painted the carpet by accident so we got like um squares of i was 18 squares of newspaper put it down we bought a bird cage me and my flatmate louie and we're like this will look cute we could put things in it and so we spray painted it black and then of course on the carpet
Starting point is 00:37:22 and then of course we removed the newspaper there was like a then, of course, on the carpet. And then, of course, we removed the newspaper. There was like a perfect square of spray paint on the carpet. We couldn't get it out for the life of us. So we used to just have this hideous shag rug. It was red that we would put over the square. And then what did you do when it came to leave the flat? One day they came to us and they said, we're going to replace your carpet. Because it was like a really old, manky carpet.
Starting point is 00:37:43 And the landlord was going to replace the carpet. We're like, perfect. We just never mentioned it. And then they gave us a your carpet. Because it was like a really old, manky carpet. And the landlord was going to replace the carpet. We're like, perfect. We just never mentioned it. And then they gave us a new carpet. Yes. What a deal. So we want to ask this morning what you've had to hide from the landlord. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Can you beat an entire doggy daycare centre? Or did you have a spray paint patch on the carpet? Or did you have a hole in the wall? Or what about the three tenant flats with six people living in them? Yes. Because it's... Packing up bedrooms, people sleeping under the stairs. Can we talk to Producer Minion?
Starting point is 00:38:14 Jared. Hello. You have to hide every time there's a flat inspection. Yeah. In my flat in South Auckland. Yes. That's right, Producer John. Yep. Yeah, every time we have a flat inspection,
Starting point is 00:38:30 all my nerdy stuff goes into a box, into the shed, and my pillow goes away, my toothbrush goes away. Oh, because you don't live there? I don't live there. Oh! I'm sure they're not counting toothbrushes. Just paranoia I thought that you were going to say that you were hiding it
Starting point is 00:38:47 because it's embarrassing Well there's that too So whether or not you have to hide a flatmate for a flat inspection, what do you have to hide from a flat inspection? 0800 Dials at M, you can give us a call Talking about what you've had to hide from your landlord.
Starting point is 00:39:06 There's a business in the news at the moment, a doggy daycare, posh one at that, who didn't, their landlord didn't know there were all these dogs in the house. Then they were running this business. So that's going through the tribunal at the moment. That's at the tribunal at the moment. Do you know, Jared just said,
Starting point is 00:39:22 I mean, producer John in his South Auckland apartment block said he hides his stuff because he's not supposed to live there. Yeah. And we were all like, ooh, toothbrushes. So someone said, I'm a property manager and I always count toothbrushes. Jared, you're doing the right thing. John, John, John. John, I am onto it.
Starting point is 00:39:44 And another thing is they look for if there's lots of different size shoes at the door. Yes. But at the same time, like, they're paying the rent, you know.

Starting point is 00:40:24 Good. Someone else his share. Good. Someone else wasn't. Oh. That's all I'll say. Anonymous, what did you have to hide from the landlord? Hey, so I had a few plants at the back. Oh, what are we talking, your monsteras or your peace lilies or... Natural herb plants. Oh, tomato plants. Oh, yes monsteras or your peace lilies or? Natural herb plants.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Oh, tomato plants. Oh, yes, yes. Parsley. Rosemary. Yeah, yeah, you know. Yeah, right. The ones that grow naturally. Yeah, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:40:55 How do you hide those from a flat inspection? You hang some tomatoes on them. I grow a lot of corn around today, so. Corn? When she walked up the back here, she walked up the back and she looked over at the corn and she's like, oh, you're growing some corn. And I'm like, yep. Yep.
Starting point is 00:41:10 So you basically did a small-scale operation of what happens to farmers who actually grow corn when they go out to harvest it and there's a whole weed crop in the middle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You were doing a small-scale. Yeah, yeah. Nice, nice.
Starting point is 00:41:21 Sage crop. I was only, you know, a couple of pounds, but, you know. Yeah. Amazing that she timed it just right, that the corn had grown tall enough to hide. Yes. Yeah, yeah. Because she'd been two weeks earlier.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Yeah. Exactly. Thanks for that, Maggie Barry. Josh, what did you have to hide from the landlord? We had four 20-year-old boys in a brand new house, and we decided to do an oil change in a car and that's who they cared. Josh, who is leading a flat to four 20-year-old boys when it's a brand new build?
Starting point is 00:41:54 I have no idea. No one. Yeah. So you did an oil change in the garage, on the driveway? Yeah, and there was no bucket underneath the car. Oh, my God, Josh. That doesn't come out, does it? Turkey? Yeah, it seeped through the
Starting point is 00:42:11 carpeting and the shed, the whole concrete. I went to the might attendant and bought some new carpet and covered it up and then she came in for an inspection and obviously noticed something was up. Lifted it and yeah, found all the shed stained with oil. I mean, obviously you lost your bond.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Did you have to pay any more? No, no. We agreed with her. We leased the stream cleaner. The whole garage managed to get the majority of it out. Oh, that's good. Leashed into the nice door so we had to scrub that the next day too. But we actually got our bond back, which was
Starting point is 00:42:44 really fun. Absolutely wild. Wow. Yeah. Oil doesn't really get out of much. Famously. Yeah. Quite famously. Ask the seagulls.
Starting point is 00:42:53 I was going to say, in the Gulf of Mexico. Thanks, Josh. Cameron, what did you have to hide from the flat inspection? We've got a bit of a double header here, but when we first moved into our flat about a year ago, we had a cat that we just got newly. We didn't know we got it and it was pregnant. And so we sort of had to hide a whole kit of kittens from it.
Starting point is 00:43:20 So that was a bit hard to do, as you can sort of expect. How many in the litter? Was there like five, six? I think we had six, yeah. And I tell you, kittens make a mess, so. Yeah, man. Shit everywhere. And did you just take. Oh, I'm on the curtains.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Oh, no. You're climbing up the curtains. So did you get away with it? Yeah, we got away with that. But now we've got another problem. We've got a broken couch in our lounge. And my flatmate laid a battery down as the fourth leak, and the battery...
Starting point is 00:43:48 A car battery? What? No, no, no! What? You should go and flat with Josh. Yeah. As soon as I found out, I was like, oh, my God, you can't lay a battery down.
Starting point is 00:44:00 The acid will come out. We lifted it up, and it's just melted all the carpet away. Oh, my God. Oh, wait, so they laid the battery on the side? Yeah, on its side. Of course they did, because those are the two flat sides of a battery. Yeah. Who did that? They should have to
Starting point is 00:44:16 pay for that. Yeah, we've got an inspection in a week, so Oh, good luck. Get a rug. Get a Kmart rug. Get a beautiful little rug. A little rug, hide that, and then that'll just rug. Get a Kmart rug. Get a beautiful little rug. A little rug. Hide that, and then that'll just buy you a little bit more time. Get a rug. To get down to Flooring Extra and get a matching carpet.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Amazing, Cameron. Thanks for sharing some more messages in. My boyfriend discovered he had a brothel running out of his rental. Oh, okay. So he was the landlord, and he found out that it was being used for brothel-esque purposes. So did he have to hide like a couple of married businessmen on the flat inspection? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:44:51 He owned the place and went round to do an inspection and found out that it was a brothel. I mean, what's the problem? You worried about dogs bloody marking the floor? Let's come and go. As we said before, mo' tenants, mo' wear and tear. Mo' wear and tear.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Yep, somebody said, we had some herbs too and I'm sure you're hearing that from a lot of people. Yeah, we are. Yes, we are. We had a whole hydroponic set up in the garage, had to get dismantled and put in a van and taken away
Starting point is 00:45:22 every time the landlord came for an inspection. I mean, I know lettuce prices are out of control, but to put a hydroponic system in to grow lettuce in the off-season? No, I know, but good when you just want to whip up a quick salad. Yeah, fantastic. We dropped a painting on a wall plug and it ripped out, so we just put the painting leaning on the wall covering the hole. Yeah, good.
Starting point is 00:45:40 If they had the power disconnected to that PowerPoint, that could be problematic. Probably not. I'm a plumber and I go to lots of tenanted houses. One dude asked me not to tell the owner he had three dogs because they were supposed to have no dogs. And there were scratches on the floor and real signs that a dog lived there. And I just said to him, this landlord's going to know.
Starting point is 00:46:00 Yeah. Someone said, I take my cat for a drive every time the landlord arrives and the cat absolutely hates it. Every time it's like. Oh, gosh. Someone said we had a light fire. Light fire. We managed to put out ourselves.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Oh, good. It involved a whole lot of repainting and reflooring, but we did manage to get it by the landlord. They never noticed. Wow. Gosh. Until one day someone falls through the floor and they pull back that new lino
Starting point is 00:46:36 and they've discovered the rot and the bird. You'll be long gone from that flat by then. Yeah. Yeah. Play. C.D.M.'sletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley's Community Notices.

Starting point is 00:51:15 Do you reckon you're up for that, producer Jared? You can't scan in, eh? You've got to make a, what do you call it, a 3D, you've got to make a 3D computer button first to print it. If you can scan it in but then no. What do you reckon
Starting point is 00:51:34 Jarrod? Yeah, I'd need a scanner first but I would take it a step further and I'd put one of those bank pen chains on it so it doesn't happen again.

Starting point is 00:53:52 There's some wild stuff happening on Talkback. Got a window fog though, tell you what. Oh no, it was fog, fog in the headlights. Oh yeah, that was huge debate.
Starting point is 00:53:59 Should we go full beam or low beam? Not full beam. It was nice that they gave the beneficiary bashing a break. Marcus won't. Marcus is reluctant to punch down. Yeah, he won't.
Starting point is 00:54:09 That's why I like him. He's a good man. He's a good man. So he broke to us the news that Ernest Adams, the legendary Kiwi brand of baked goods, cakes, slices. Maker of my favourite raspberry slice. A smacker of a raspberry slice. A queen of a Louise slice.

Yeah. When I think of this, I think of my grandfather's church. You know, like after church, kopiti.
Starting point is 00:55:06 Yeah. And a bloody Ernest Slice. Yeah. So, yeah, I mean, it's been a Kiwi institution for a long time, but has it just not been selling? Is that why they're getting rid of Ernest Adams? COVID. They've blamed COVID.
Starting point is 00:55:19 Supply line problems blamed for the demise of the Ernest Adams baked treat. Right. I just Googled Ernest Adams and went to images. Yeah. Christmas cake. Yeah. They did the pre-ice Christmas cake. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Ready to go. Yeah. You'd have that ready. Mum and Dad would have one of those ready to absolutely drop if they had an unexpected visitor. And, and the Ernest Adams unfilled sponge. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:44 It was a trifle shortcut. Trifle. Yeah. But then most supermarkets will do an Unfilled Sponge. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. It was a trifle shortcut. Trifle. Yeah. But then most supermarkets will do an unfilled sponge. Yeah, but it's not the same. Yeah, not Ernest. It's not the same. Not Ernest.
Starting point is 00:55:52 These will be dry. It tastes like shit. Oh, that's terrible news, isn't it? Yeah. Well, they even branched into gluten-free territory, I see. I just saw that on celiac.co.nz. They had a great run. They praised. Well, noiac.co.nz. They had a great run. They praised.
Starting point is 00:56:06 Well, no more. They praised Ernest. Ernest Adams is gone. The jammy raspberry slice is no more. Now, can I give a shout-out to another slice that is still going? All right. And what? He's warm in the ground.
Starting point is 00:56:18 Yeah. Are you already moving on to your... Granddad's in the ground. Here's another granddad. Here's another granddad. I don't want another granddad.

I don't want another granddad. Here's a de facto granddad. You'll never be my real granddad.
Starting point is 00:56:27 You had a mistress all lined up and we just got him. You son of a bitch. Oh, I've been sleeping with this Belgium slice from Baker Boys for years. Ah! Shame on you. No, they sell these at New World. It's Baker Boys brand in the Belgium. And they do a good lolly cake too.
Starting point is 00:56:44 And this one is the white chocolate Rocky Road. I don't know what Baker Boys is, but yeah, they resell them in my local New World, and they are just as good as the raspberry slice. Yeah, but you're CBD. You're bouge. That New World's bouge. When you said CBD, I'm like, no, it's DTF. DTS down to slice.
Starting point is 00:57:10 Well, yum, yum, yum. RIP to Ernest. Now, your friend, have you messaged your friend? I'm asking for a please explain. He worked for Goodman Field of the parent company. Yeah, right. God, he'll be wearing it from all the boomers. A heads up would have been nice.
Starting point is 00:57:23 I would have thought so. Just one last raspberry slice. One last. So how long is it going to take to get off the shelf? No, I just searched. I can't find any. I searched online shopping for the supermarket and I can't find any.
Starting point is 00:57:35 I can't just say goodbye. I didn't get to lick the jam out one last time. You know, you could peel back the Latisse top. I feel absolutely shorthanded by this inability to not say goodbye to the slice. I will be accepting on the text machine 9696 your delicious alternatives. I just gave you some, didn't I? Yeah, but yours has got bouj written all over it. Baker boys.
Starting point is 00:58:01 What does it set you back for a raspberry slice? Yeah, give us a price. I just had it open $5.99 for a massive one. Not bad. That's massive. That's not bad. That's not bad. Lockdown one, I could get through one of those in a day.
Starting point is 00:58:14 Well, that's what I was going to say. I remember. That's about the price of a head of cauliflower, and I tell you what, I'd rather sit down and eat. Hi, ZM's Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley. I want to dive into the world of unpopular opinions. The loose way we're getting into this is that future trillionaire by 2024, trillionaire Elon Musk took to Twitter to ask,
Starting point is 00:58:37 is TikTok destroying civilization or social media in general? He said on TikTok. Yeah. I think even pre-TikTok, civilization was on her. Oh, we stuffed it. Yeah, she's been a crash course with death. What's the current war as well? What's the doomsday clock at?
Starting point is 00:58:57 Because the doomsday clock has never been this close to doomsday ever. Doomsday clock? No. Does it move back? Bulletin of the... It hasn't been updated since January. I feel like a lot's happened since January. So much.
Starting point is 00:59:14 Anyway, everyone was jumping on the comments. Oh, 100 seconds to midnight, says producer Jared. How did he Google that and you didn't? It's just under what I clicked on. But again, I said it hasn't been updated since January and that's what I said. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:28 Wait, Doomsday is only 100 seconds away from midnight? Yeah. Tonight? No. No, so it's a figurative clock, isn't it? Yeah, the closer to midnight, midnight's the end and the closer to midnight we get. But when they started it, it was already like, wait,
Starting point is 00:59:44 it wasn't like lunchtime when it started. Oh, I see. And I also don't know what lunchtime would be like. But they need to specify what midnight is. Midnight's the end of humanity. Yeah, I know, but they need to specify on our calendar that we use when that's happening. Oh, you mean like a June 6th or something?
Starting point is 01:00:00 Yeah, June 6th, 2020. That's not quite how it works. Okay, right. Poetic. Yeah. Anyway, so yeah, everyone's jumping on and saying like, you suck. You suck, Elon. That's an unpopular opinion.
Starting point is 01:00:10 So we started talking about unpopular opinions. Fletch, you've got a rockin' topical unpopular opinion. I just said I love early Beyonce, but lately, Beyonce, I could... Over... You didn't like Lemonade. No. You didn't like Lemon Over... You didn't like Lemonade. You used to like Lemonade? No, I only liked the early stuff. And then ever since, I've been like, eh.
Starting point is 01:00:32 And that is an unpopular opinion because people absolutely love Queen B. I got to see Fletcher's face the first time he heard, surfboard, surfboard. I know my surfboard. Surfboard. And he was just like what that was
Starting point is 01:00:47 it's an unpopular opinion and you know I might be roasted for that what album was that off that wasn't Lemonade Drunken Love that was oh my god everyone who is listening is like Hayley
Starting point is 01:01:02 I know you Beyonce do you have an unpopular opinion Oh my God, everyone who is listening is like, Hayley! Yeah, I know you, Beyonce. Anyway. Well, do you have an unpopular opinion? I mean, you've got to be careful in this day and age. You could be cancelled for an unpopular opinion. I'm going to think children suck. See, I have that opinion, and that's an unpopular opinion,
Starting point is 01:01:26 because most people love them. They love to ride. They're not like anybody else's. Yeah. But then you did have a bit of a twinge the other day, other week, didn't you, when Vaughan posted the birthday video? Yeah, an ovary twinge. I had an ovary twinge when you posted a video of your kids crying because you called them a cat and I thought that would be bloody nice,
Starting point is 01:01:42 wouldn't it? I'd like to see Aaron cry about cats. No, my unpopular opinion, I mean, I've got a very, I think the Doors are overrated. The Doors? The band. You mean Doors and Houses or the band?
Starting point is 01:01:55 The band. Okay, right. And I think that they've got a legacy as being like a classic rock sort of staple. Yeah, but you've got to be careful when you're talking about a dead musician who died like during the good times because you can assume that they would have
Starting point is 01:02:10 had a meltdown or faded away or started making terrible music. Yeah, I get that Jim Morrison's a great musician. But people say the same about... The music's dreary, isn't it? Kurt Cobain. It's an unpopular opinion to say like, how long could that have lasted?
Starting point is 01:02:24 Yeah, yeah. Dave Grohl's killing it. Do It's an unpopular opinion to say, like, how long could that have lasted? Yeah, yeah. Dave Grohl's killing it. Do you have an unpopular opinion, Vaughan Smith? I hate being like... I hate women. I don't hate women. I just hate when they think their opinions are as important as mine. I'm just kidding.
Starting point is 01:02:42 Being, like, anti-social and reclusive and introverted in public heaps of unpopular opinions like I don't like concerts I know people love concerts but I hate them you don't like
Starting point is 01:02:52 I've been to concerts with you and you've loved them but how often do I go it has to be like one of my top absolute top tier

Starting point is 01:03:14 Yeah I don't like festivals I think they go for too long Yeah Heaps of stuff like that Yeah Yeah I think that's why
Starting point is 01:03:24 You left the very first R&B you went to after the first day. Couldn't stand it. You're like, no. I don't like people. Is that an unpopular opinion? No. I think that's very normal. I've met some really awful ones.
Starting point is 01:03:34 Yeah. All right. Well, we want to take right now your unpopular opinion. What's just come through on the chat? And honestly, we all screamed. We'll bring it up soon. I don't know even if we could read that out. No, I think we should.
Starting point is 01:03:46 It's quite disgusting. Shall I read it now? Yeah. Princess Diana was overrated. I'm going to punch them. Get them on the phone so I can punch them. The People's Princess.
Starting point is 01:03:54 The People's Princess. The People's Princess. Fashion icon. Humanitarian. Mother. Wonderful lady. She pulled out the first brick
Starting point is 01:04:04 from the impenetrable fortress that was the royal family. Yeah. She humanised them. She did. And they killed her. Allegedly. They murdered her.

Starting point is 01:04:41 Just because you have a dog, it doesn't mean everybody should have to like your dog. This is true. That's true. You're like, give him a pet. You're like, that's annoying. Your dog's annoying me. This dog is licking my hand.
Starting point is 01:04:54 Paris is not romantic is another. Oh, okay. My parents said that. My parents, they were like, eh, don't worry about it. You've seen the Eiffel Tower in pictures. I wouldn't bother. But the buildings are charming. It is beautiful.
Starting point is 01:05:09 Paris is gorgeous. Yeah. They've got a cold heart. Oh, I hate lolly cake and it should be outlawed. That's worse than the Princess Diana one. How about this one from Caitlin? Wait a second. We need more time on that one.
Starting point is 01:05:22 We need to sit around. Oh, I know. We're sitting on this. How can you hate lolly cake? It's butter biscuits and lollies. And condensed milk. So we need condensed milk. And rolled in coconut. If you want. If you so desire. How do you say it? Desecrated.
Starting point is 01:05:34 Desecrated. Desecrated. A priest comes and said, no, this lolly cake is no longer properly in the church. Anonymous, good morning. Morning. Good morning. What's your unpopular opinion? Is it that I think people should only have One, two children
Starting point is 01:05:51 Absolute max Okay, I'm with you on this one It rives me up I think I heard the other day someone's having a third I'm like, why? China, China with this? China with a single child population You need to buy another car
Starting point is 01:06:04 It's more people to feed on this planet Why? China did this? China did the single child poverty. You need to buy another car. It's more people to feed on this planet. Anonymous, with this, you get a whole lot of different situations. What if someone has a child with someone that they're not with? It was just like a oopsie-daisy. Yeah. Does that count towards their total? Or when they get married, do they get to start again?
Starting point is 01:06:26 Well, I get, no, I don't think they get to start again. I think that, you know, I mean, you just, you were talking about the doomsday clock. I think, you know, I think we're just running out of resources, really, and I think that, you know, unfettered growth is not really the way to go. And also, like, it's another person in the line at McDonald's, you know?
Starting point is 01:06:42 I don't need that. I'm waiting for my number on the screen. If that person hadn't been born, I would get my food faster. Especially kids. Okay, they marry a person, they've got one kid, they have one kid together. Is that person who's only technically had one child allowed to have another?
Starting point is 01:06:58 Yeah, is it per person? Because then you'll be four per family. Oh, look, I don't know. It's hard, it's hard, the rules. They can just have a stepsister and just deal with it. Thank you very much, Anonymous, for your unpopular't know. It's hard. It's hard to rule. They can just have a stepsister and just deal with it. Thank you very much, Anonymous, for your unpopular opinion. Another anonymous caller. That was like really a wild opinion. Anonymous, what's your unpopular opinion?
Starting point is 01:07:15 Good morning, guys. Good morning. I have to say I'm a mother of two, and I hate to say it, but I would have pets over kids. And we've got a dog and a cat and my daughter is a preschool teacher. Not enough people are honest about the fact. She'd kill you. What did these children do to you?
Starting point is 01:07:40 Not enough people are honest about the fact. They are just the gorgeous kids. They're just like, you know, they're beautiful. But they absolutely saved the life out of you. The kids are more understanding, aren't they? Yeah, they don't judge you. They just lick their butt, don't they? Carry on with life. They're not telling you you're getting old, Mum.
Starting point is 01:07:59 Oh! The cat and dog just love you. The cat and dog aren't going to ship you after a Ryman, are they? No. That's exactly. That's it. You've got to love it. All right, Anonymous, thank you for your unpopular opinion.
Starting point is 01:08:11 Some more in on the text machine. So many. Avocado is gross. That's my unpopular opinion. But I tell you what, it's not that unpopular because a few people have messaged in. It is a bit gross. It's a text, but I love it. Because some people have a thing with the text here.
Starting point is 01:08:22 And when they go bad, God, they're feral. Someone said, my unpopular opinion is both Fleetwood Mac and Mac and Cheese are both horrendously overrated. They've got a real problem with the Macs there. The Mac, okay. Somebody said, my unpopular opinion is that I do not have time for that Kate Bush song from 1985 that everybody's raving about. Well, they'll be happy to know I just deleted it. Well, time... Yeah, Fletcher, you join Fletcher,
Starting point is 01:08:48 he keeps going, why are we playing Kate Bush? My Unpopular Opinion... But I don't mind the song. It is a good song. It's just a weird thing. It's just long. Someone said,
Starting point is 01:08:58 My Unpopular Opinion is pad thai is the grossest thing you can get when you get thai and it tastes like feet. That's wild. Come on, it's my go-to. You've got to get something else as well that's a little bit more refined, but a pad Thai.
Starting point is 01:09:09 You can't hate a pad Thai. I mean, there are better dishes, but it is a great dish. Even a bad one's good. Yeah. There's so many. My opinion is cemeteries are an absolute waste of space. I think this too.
Starting point is 01:09:26 And morbid. Build a park with plaques or something. Get rid of cemeteries. There are those. There's plenty of plaque parks. How long do you think cemeteries are going to be a thing? Not very long. And they're a real like wildly out of date old fashioned thing.
Starting point is 01:09:39 Yeah, it depends on a lot of religious and family beliefs. Yeah, I'm going to the mud eye. Because you're being buried, aren't you? Yeah, I'm being buried. So thanks for wasting land. It's my land. From future generations. It's not your land.
Starting point is 01:09:52 I'm sure we can just end up building a deck over cemeteries. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like an old pool. Yeah, so, you know, like... The easiest way to do it is just to build a deck over it. Top level of the Westfields is movies, and then you've got shop, shop, shop, shops, basement parking, and then underneath the cemetery.
Starting point is 01:10:07 Yeah, and you could have swipe access to get in there and go under and say hello. Wilson's cemeteries and you have to pay $2 an hour. Perfect. Or $2 for the first 10 minutes to go see Nan. You know Wilson's will charge you to see Den Dan. Wilson's actually a tournament or something. Getcha.
Starting point is 01:10:26 My unpopular opinion, I thought the Egyptian pyramids were shit. When you go though, they're quite small. Right next to the city. So you think of them in the middle of a desert. Yeah, mysterious and wondrous. My unpopular opinion is Rotorua actually smells pretty good. I like winding in the windows and getting a couple of whiffs when I first get there. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 01:10:51 I mean, we all love smelling our own farts, let's be honest. Yeah, and Rotorua is that. Marriage is a crock and the biggest scam of all time. That's my unpopular opinion. Oh, that sounds like a jilted someone's been cheated on. Caitlin said, did I read this one out before? It blows my mind. I read it again and I forgot it and it shocked me.
Starting point is 01:11:07 I prefer free-to-air television over streaming. I find the ads comforting. I love an ad. They put a lot of effort into ads. You're in a minority. Oh, I walked past some filming an ad yesterday. The All Blacks. Or, I don't know if they were All Blacks, but they were dressed like All Blacks.
Starting point is 01:11:21 Well, they'd have to be associated then. Yeah, and they were filming a commercial but it was so cold they all had blankies. Oh, the boys. Tutes for the boys. Tutes.
Starting point is 01:11:31 Weeksie's unpopular opinion is Harry is the worst character in the Harry Potter series. Yeah, I'd agree with that. I think that's pretty popular. He sucks.
Starting point is 01:11:38 Ruth, my unpopular opinion because I field tested it this week is if you don't think New Zealand should also be called Aotearoa you probably shouldn't

Oh my God, if you don't know. I like how Ruth said that's a field tested unpopular opinion to just a walking around ask.
Starting point is 01:11:52 This one's interesting. Katie's unpopular opinion, the only time you actually need to wear undies is under a flowy dress. Oh no, but you've got to think about Jane.
Starting point is 01:12:01 You can't wear, you can't go Kamado in Jane. You absolutely could. Jane's absolutely getting up in there. Tasha, let's finish with you. What's your unpopular opinion? I absolutely hate marshmallows and ice cream with lollies in it.
Starting point is 01:12:14 What? No, no, no, no. You're talking to two people. I'm hanging up on her. You're good. Hang up. Tash, no way. Goody Goody Gun Drops is the best flavour.
Starting point is 01:12:23 Oh, no, I hate it. I absolutely hate it, I hate it. I absolutely hate it. I hate you. Is it because you've got ice cream in your mouth and then a lolly comes along and it's a surprise? No, it's chewing time. Oh, it'd be because I don't like lollies. It probably would be why.
Starting point is 01:12:39 Wait, you don't like lollies? No, I think you need to hang up. No, I don't like lollies. What do you like? Vegetables. I'm more of a like, I like muffins and like a savoury kind of person. I thought you said. She loves flour.

Starting point is 01:13:18 Fact of the day Day day day, day, day. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Quick fact of the day today about World War II fighter planes. What was that? I love World War II fighter planes. He loves it. Have you been in one? No.
Starting point is 01:13:46 We went in a... Was it a World War I? A biplane, a bisexual plane. Yes. Good for them. We had to squeeze together in the back. And it was only a one-seater. It was a one-seater.
Starting point is 01:14:00 It was in Blenheim. Yes. And you can go along to the museum there and they will take you up in one. It was like a tourism thing for... Was it a World War I or a World War II? We saw a lot of biplanes, but I feel like it was one of those underwing ones. And it was one of the ones where you put a cute little hat on and goggles. And it was like Snoopy's Christmas.
Starting point is 01:14:19 Freezing cold. But it was amazing. It was a beautiful day over Marlborough. Beautiful. Well, today's fact of the day about Spitfires in particular. When you think of World War II movies or TV shows and the Spitfires come in and they just start lighting dudes up with the machine guns.
Starting point is 01:14:39 Turn around, come back. Which they, by the way, wouldn't let us do over Blenheim. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, for God's sake. I was like, come on. Which they, by the way, wouldn't let us do over Blenheim. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, for God's sake. I was like, come on, those cows. Just Blenheim. Those cows are old. Let us light them up.
Starting point is 01:14:50 I was lining up the vineyards. Yeah. Let's light up some of that. Let's light up some of them Merlot grapes because Merlot is trash. Merlot is straight trash. Let's light up that entire Merlot vineyard because Merlot is the worst red wine. Get yourself a Noir. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:08 Always a Noir. It was a World War. Maybe a Syrah. Maybe a Syrah or a Shiraz. That was today. It was a Boeing Stem and it's a World War II trainer. So it was a World War II plane.
Starting point is 01:15:15 Okay, a World War II plane. Man, that was cool. Okay, so we have been in a World War II plane but this is a Spitfire, the underwing dude, the tough looking guy. Today's fact of the day is they only had 20 seconds of trigger time
Starting point is 01:15:28 before they were completely out of ammunition. Really? So when you think about it, when there's like a boat. Who flies? Yeah. So they'd have to go back, land, and get 300 more rounds per gun. So in 20 seconds, there were 300 rounds. So you'd line them up, go around.
Starting point is 01:15:46 So you couldn't just sort of fly away. Well, willy-nilly. You have to have a plan. No, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You definitely have to have a plan. Otherwise, yeah, you had to turn around and go and land. And you might have, like, heaps of fuel left.
Starting point is 01:15:58 But you didn't have any bullets left. Gosh. Which kind of takes the whole... I figured that were just super effective because they'd just come in and they'd just be able to light things up for ages and then just get home on a smell of an oily rag and land and get more bullets.
Starting point is 01:16:13 But yeah, once they'd offloaded 20 seconds of trigger time, they were just a distraction, really. Huh. I mean, you didn't know if they had 20 seconds. You could see one coming and be like, oh no, is it coming? Run for your life. Run for your life, everybody.
Starting point is 01:16:27 And did the German planes, did they have more? I'm just trying to Google, but I can't find anything. Oh, I don't have that. I don't have that follow-up piece of information. Huh. Yeah. So, yeah, next time you see a World War II movie and that Spitfire's flying over and lighting it up for, like, 10,000 bullets,
Starting point is 01:16:43 very unlikely, as they had 300 rounds per gun and they had about 20 seconds of trigger time. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. I like you, my doll Play ZDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley Play ZDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley Silly little pole, silly little pole It is so silly, silly, silly that

Like Mondays, we do dinner and drinks. Saturdays, you and me, baby, we're going out. Or every Thursday night, you get a babysitter. Yeah. Or that's your night where you just like...
Starting point is 01:17:55 Ditch the kids with the grandparents and just get it on. Well, this is a bit sad, actually. 8%, yes. Only 8% of respondents, of which there are thousands, said that they have a regular date night. But then wouldn't you just end up doing stuff at the weekends? So it's not so much scheduled, it's just... Yeah, no, totally.
Starting point is 01:18:20 We don't schedule a date night. But if you don't schedule it, you can, you know, let it slide by. I think that's good. Yeah, it could be easy just to spend the whole weekend watching Netflix. Yeah, I sound like a proponent of a scheduled date night here, but no, I'm not. Yeah. It happens when it happens.
Starting point is 01:18:35 Yeah. And sometimes it doesn't happen for a long time. Yeah, you do the odd scheduled thing, though, eh? You plan something every now and again? I've planned a date on Sunday. Oh, yeah. But see, that's a planned one-off. To me, a schedule is like the first weekend of every month

Starting point is 01:20:13 What's alphabet dating? Let me Google. A, you have to go to a restaurant that starts with A or do something that starts with A? The Albatross Centre, which can I say I've been to in New Zealand? It's incredible. Okay, what are you doing on the B date? Basketball.

Well, there you go. Spice it up. Spice it up, guys. Do it tonight, Wednesdays. Just slip on a little slinky number.
Starting point is 01:21:27 It's cold. Maybe we'll just wait till next week. No one's slipping on a slinky number tonight. They're putting on trackies and frothy socks. You know when you put on like a satin or a silk when you first put on, it's always cold. Yeah, it feels wet. It feels wet and cold. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:40 And slippery. How much satin and silky things are you putting on? All of my clothes. I'm constantly wearing satin silky things are you putting on? All of my clothes.

Starting point is 01:22:13 Fletch, I was driving, so no reply from me. Sorry, no idea, mate. Push in and twist. Give it a Google. That was helpful from Fletch. Yeah. Carwin is obviously with the Jeep as well. Google's not helping.
Starting point is 01:22:24 Fletch said, do you have a manual in the glove box? We don't have one in ours, and is there a key? And I also did Google, and surprisingly, there is no help for how to get it out. Truly none. There's truly no help. When you Google it and it's not a common problem or hasn't been written on there,
Starting point is 01:22:40 that tells me something's broken. Yes. So this is a fuel cap with a keyhole in it. So you've got to put the car key in it and then I think you've got to do a half twist and push. It's like getting a medical safe cap of a bottle. Yeah, yeah. A child proof.
Starting point is 01:22:54 Yeah, child protectors. Yeah, which I think is where producer Jared ran into trouble. Yeah, so like it gave us instructions on how to remove the fuel cap. Yeah. But they just weren't clear enough. No.
Starting point is 01:23:08 It said quarter turn. Yeah. And we eventually figured out it meant 1.2 millimeters to the right at a 45 degree angle. And then you have to also push in and pull out at the same time. Javis. Push the can, but pull the cap out. Yeah. It was just a nightmare. We were there for 20 minutes, I think.
Starting point is 01:23:29 Yeah, and four degrees temperature. And of course, we were in the other Jeep and nearly home, so our care factor was minimal. Oh, guys, no, that sucks. That's so sad. We were messaging you guys. We were messaging the ZM Girls chat, in case any of the other girls have used the car before. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

What do you talk about in there? Just gals things. Who's the cutest boy here? Oh my god. Do you talk about how cute we are? As in me? Do you talk about how cute we are? Guys, I can't say. Oh my god.

Starting point is 01:24:29 Who knows how to get the gas cap off the bloody ZM car? Photo included, which was helpful. Would have been helpful, Gerard. In the men's group. This shite will not come out. We're in Bombay. Larissa, it's a push in and then twist, which is what you said. Yeah, I said that. Carween, nothing working.
Starting point is 01:24:48 Are you sure the twist isn't working? Nothing working. I want to know what was discussed previously. Give us some juicy chat. What's said in the girls chat stays in the girls chat. I'll tell you. We've got to start a lads chat.

Starting point is 01:25:31 and both went, need to take a photo of that. We should have been rigging the retro petrol time machine last week and just taking all of the cash. Oh yeah, we should have. What was it? There'll be no more price patrols. Fuel does it take?
Starting point is 01:25:40 Premium or 91? Well, now we put 91 in and I don't know what it takes. That's cheap, Rob. It's company gal there saving some money. It still worked the rest of the way, so I'm assuming it was fine. Yeah. We got home.
Starting point is 01:25:50 Was it stuttering? Not really, but that 20-minute delay at the gas station meant they shut the motorway. Oh, and they need to go the long way. Yeah, for some roadworks. Did you ask the girls, Chad, if they knew a better direction? Well, the gals always know. But we keep them secret for when we need to get places.
Starting point is 01:26:10 Right.
