What time did you guys get to bed last night? I reckon after midnight, Vaughan. After Florence and her damn machines. What a show. What a show. It was so good. What a show, what a feeling. And you guys, of course,

tip of the hat, you went to a concert completely sober by the looks of things. Absolutely. Not a drop of alcohol was touched on. Of course we did. I think we had one Sauvignon Blanc with dinner. Oh, as well you should.

And that was it. It helps with the digestion. It's more the lack of sleep, the tiredness, really. Oh, absolutely. It's got nothing to do with about the four espresso martinis and the nine bottles of Prosecco. That'll do it. Four espresso martinis.

I lost count. But they were made with love. Homemade instant coffee. No, delicious Vaughan. I tell ya. You should have got the coffee

from show sponsor McCafe. They might not have been open. Can I put out a plea to McCafe? A plea? Some begging? To get some... I'm going to need one of those bagels

some hash browns and hot chocolate. Good stuff. Great start to the show. Coming up on the show, the top six. Vaughan,

what have you got lined up for us today? we are the 10th happiest nation. Us and Israel are the only ones outside of that little Scandi circle

in a Scandinavian place. Yeah, Scandi's a happy place. Happy little buggers. You know why? It's because they've all got little mini home saunas. How cool would that be? Now, I'd be happy if I had a mini home sauna. Yeah, me too.

I don't know if I would be. Why? I don't like saunas. It's too hot. Too hot. And you get quite sweaty. And I go, and that hot air hits your lungs. Oh, yeah, okay.

It hurts, eh? Yeah, it hurts the lungs. I'm not a huge sauna guy. Okay, well, maybe you could get some huskies in a sled. Now I'm happy. Yeah, now you're happy. Now I'm happy. It's so easy to be happy there.

Yeah. And the crunch of fresh snow underfoot. Well, us and Israel are the only ones outside of that circle who make the top ten, but we were higher. Everybody was happier previously. Okay. I've got the top six ways to make us happy again. Alright. Coming up in the top six,

Hayley next on the show. Oh, let me tell you, Fletch. The world record-breaking egg on Instagram has shocked the world again. Cryptic? Perhaps. We'll dive into this. I did not open the article

during that song. Okay, what we're dealing with here is some absolutely hungover pieces of shit. The sexy wheelbarrow is definitely going to need a step up today. I don't know what he did.

Where did three minutes go? We were talking about hot gays there for a while. We were talking about hot gays. Weddings and hot gays. Every wedding needs some hot gays. Because we were talking about whether or not how long you've been with someone dictates whether or not they get a plus one.

Now I'm going to a wedding on Friday. I'm the celebrant. I've got to get my head around that. But also I'm a guest and Aaron's not invited because I don't know him. How do they know you well enough to ask you to be celebrant? Kind of like old friends.

But they've not hung out with Aaron? Like once or twice. Wow. He really doesn't like social occasions, does he? He hates socialising. I was like, yeah, that makes sense. When you're on a tight budget. He's the bread and the sandwich.

He's a big man, too. He eats a lot. He's the bread and the sandwich. You're the pastrami. Thank you so much. You're salty and you need the bread to balance it out. Salty. You're a bit much.

What I'm saying is they're missing a trick by not having Aaron at the wedding. You need a slice of tomato to calm you down. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Bit of plain mayonnaise. Now, do you remember the egg? Oh, you've had time to open the article, have you? It's open, but I'll just stumble my way through it. Okay. Now, you remember the egg that was posted on Instagram

became the most liked picture on Instagram of all time. Was it until recently and somebody beat the egg? Well, Alan DeGeneres did with the Oscars photo. Yeah, that's right. And then someone beat that recently, didn't they? Yeah. A Jenner? I feel like it was a Jenner. Wasn't it

a Jenner with the baby hand? Let their baby Marsophocles or whatever stupid name it's got What's the baby's name? Rainshine or something Rainshine Zendaya Was it Zendaya who just beat the record?

Mmm, okay Top 20 Instagram posts Leo Messi Photos of Leo Messi And the Argentinian national football team after winning the 2022 World Cup. That was it. Photo of an egg.

Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo. They absolutely dominate the top 10. Wow. The footies, the footy balls. Anyway, so that picture of the egg has been deleted. Why? By the Instagram page itself. And what is left is a picture.

It's like a white picture with just the shadow of where once was an egg. Okay. And no warning that this was going to happen. People were like, excuse me. And now it's just like where the egg once was with the comment, where's the egg gone? Or what are they playing at? Because these were marketing people that did this, right?

Yeah. Yeah. But everybody was waiting for it to, but it never really did. Didn't it associate itself with a charity? A charity at one stage. Yeah. So now like no explanation, no one can get to the bottom of why the eggs disappeared

and why they might say, where's the egg gone? So now everyone's just waiting. Re-following. This feels like a little refresher to get back into relevance. But they're just re-following the, what is the Instagram? World record egg, I think. Yeah, world underscore record underscore egg. Blue tick verified.

It could be some kind of charity thing. Or do you think it's just egg shortage? Some kind of political statement. Where do you get the egg? Could be an egg shortage, yeah. World record egg. I'm a follower. Easter's around the corner.

That's probably your most egg-based holiday. Imagine if it comes back wrapped in tinfoil. It's cream. It's a cream egg, yes. So it's got no posts on its page now. All it has is the shadow saying, where's the egg gone? Well, we shall follow that and update you. Rest assured.

And update you, dear listener. If there's any moves. Yeah. Any move on eggs. You will be the first to know. Yeah. Play ZM's Flet. Yeah. Any move on the eggs. You will be the first to know. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Now, I promised you I was going to tell you about Jesus.

Well, here it is. Brother, please. This is a wild story. This is insane. A 13-year-old's down at the park playing with his buddies and there's a gathering at the park. Classic. Classic 13-year-old behaviour. Come hither.

Come hither. Would you like a burger and some lollies? Oh, my park. Classic. Classic 13-year-old behaviour. Come hither. Come hither. Would you like a burger and some lollies? Oh, my God, yes. Now, like, actually, a burger right now would be so great. Oh, my God, with onion rings in it. How good was a burger? So, yeah, so this 13-year-old is down at the park. There's burgers and lollies and then a quick dip in a pool

and a few words. Oh, my God. I love pools. And boom for bam for 13-year-old baptised. At a park. Yeah, he goes home and he walks in the door. This is the best part. The mother said he walked in the door and I said,

all right, son. All right, son. Like she's in a Guy Ritchie movie. All right, son. All right, son. Been down the blower, have you? Yeah, all right, ma. Yeah.

Ma, been out with the boys. Yeah. Oh, a bit of Barney Rubble. You find yourself in a bit of Barney Rubble, why don't you call me on the dog and bone? So he walks in, all right, son. It's every Guy Ritchie movie ever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Who are we waiting for? Fat Ted. Where's Fat Ted? Oh,. Who are we waiting for? Fat Ted? Where's Fat Ted? Oh, getting a feed probably. You know Fat Ted. Well, tell him, Fat Ted, we've got to go. Guy Ritchie. Produced by Guy Ritchie.

Walked in the door. All right, son. And he said, yeah, all right, mum. Just been baptised. Mum was like, I beg your pardon? The Guy Ritchie facade dropped very quickly. They said, yeah, their kids had been playing down at the park and some church was doing like a mass baptism and said, do you guys want to do some burgers and some lollies?

And him and his mates were just like, well, we're hungry. You know what you're like when you're a 13-year-old boy? Constantly hungry. Just eat and be ready to eat straight away. I'd probably get baptised right now for a quarter pounder. Literally, if some people walked in here and said, I'll get you a burger if you swear your life to Christ, I'd be like, 100%.

You'd be like, he can have it, 100%. I mean, good lie. He's got his work cut out for him. Absolutely. Yeah, they'd probably flick the holy water on you and it would sizzle as it hit you, like when a bit of water hits a pan. Like a witch. Smel witch melting were you baptized born

i was yeah as the resident resident catholic as the resident catholic uh how old were you when you were baptized baby baptized oh baby baptized which one's that yeah baptized is that the same as a christening no christening's like a naming thing right right? I don't know. I think you do them both at the same time. Do you? And then First Communion when I was a kid. And then I did the confirmation thing as well, where they wouldn't let me have the name Jesus, because they were like, you've got to pick a name. Oh, yeah, what's your name?

Joseph. Oh, that's a nice name. Aaron's is like, I can't remember what is it. It's something so funny. Like, stop, ropper, dopper, lease. You know, like a slight drop of ropper lease. Okay, ropper. funny. Like, stop rop-a-dop-a-lease. You know, like a slight drop of rop-a-lease. Okay, rop-a-dop-a-lease. Stop drop and rop.

He was named after, you know, well-known religious hymn by the Decepticons, Stop Drop and Roll-a-Please. Stop Drop and Roop-lop-lop-a-please. Stop Drop and Roll-a-Please. That's a great name. Did he do it for a burger? No.

No, he just did it. Wow. Well, there you go. That's something for parents to watch out for. Yeah. And if you're at an out park. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was 1,500 people there.

It was a Jubilee Park. 60 baptisms. And then apparently a further 100 people just got baptized on the spot for the burgers and the lollies. It's so easy to get carried away in the moment. I mean, like, how lucky are you if your kid, the worst thing they're doing is accidentally getting baptized. Getting baptized. Yeah.

Your 13-year-old comes home, where have you been? Doing drugs, vaping, ram raids? Mother, I accidentally got myself baptized. What a good boy. Oh, you bloody scallywag. God, when I ended up at church, accidentally was mostly on the hunt for ladies. Yeah, we were ended up at church accidentally, it was mostly I'm a hunt for ladies.

Yeah, we're sniffing out those good Christian gals. Yeah, I had a real penchant for, well, I just like good girls. And the good girls were mostly at church. In Hamilton, we had a huge church scene. It was happy clappers left, right and centre.

Happy clappers. Yeah, there was. And that was what they said, oh, you should come to church. And I was like, oh, yeah, okay, I've been to church. I know what church is like. It's sitting through an hour of boring old Irishmen in a lady's robe. But then teenage born found out there were ladies. Yeah. There were ladies.

But then these churches were like, let's get a rhythm going for Jesus. Really? And I was like, uh-oh, I'm not confident enough in my clapping. You didn't have rhythm for Jesus. Yeah. I'm not good at the clapping. The best part was, and he absolutely bamboozled them. He said, you know, a lot of people think that churches like ours are money driven.

People think, and this is the number one criticism we get, is that we care more about the money than the people. And that is not true. So let's get it out of the way. I'm just going to pass the collection basket around, pop some money in, and let's get it out of the way. Let's get it out of the way. I'm just going to pass the collection basket around, pop some money and let's get it out of the way. Let's get it out of the way. Because we don't care. And they were all like, yeah!

Yuck, money! And I was like, wait, wait, what? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Short on rent? I'll just borrow 10. No, I didn't. Do you have change? Do you have change for 20? I've only got, oh, it was before the days of pay wave. Yeah.

Next on the show, there is a new app to help people like Vaughn, who are terrible with life admin. Oh, that's good. Oh, I like apps. Yeah, this will be good for you. Although I'm pretty sure your wife would take care of this specific thing. I just thought of an app called Baaptism. Leave it.

You just open the app and you push the button and it squirts water on your face. It's a little jetty out of the camera lens. Out of the phone. Holy water. It's just a filter. Oh, look, a song about Jesus. Our Lord and Saviour. Let's talk.

Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM. Well, a new app has been released. There's talk about this new app. It's great for people that are terrible with life admin. And one thing in particular, wafts and regos. Oh, I saw this. Yeah, great idea for an app.

Carween, producer Carween, we cast our minds back now to what, a month ago? When you lined up at VTNZ for how long? Two hours. Two hours and you got to the front and what happened? It wasn't my time to get a waft. It was for my old car that was ridden off. It wasn't my time.

It wasn't my time. You wasted two hours. It's not time to get a waft. Just go home and wait six more months. So this app is called Bonnet and this would be great for you, Carwen. No, I don't want another app on my phone.

I did an app delete the other day. App purge. I don't use any of these. I don't use the Tabata timer. You don't have, is that for breathe? Who's exercising for 20 seconds? Tabata.

Breathe, isn't it? Tabata, the exercise, 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off. It's been years. Yeah, you don't need that. I don't need the Tabata timer. So it goes, beep. Counts to 20. Beep.

Rest. Rest. Start exercise. Round four. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, that sounds horrible. I mean, you don't need to have it on the main page. counts to 20 beep rest start exercise round four oh yeah oh no that sounds horrible yeah I mean you don't need

to have it on the main page just chuck it in chuck it in a folder somewhere it's called Bonnet and it's free to use and download you enter your number plate and then you get reminders

All right, well, next time you forget your wharf by a month. I won't forget my wharf. No, I get the postage. I get a little letter. You get it in the post. I can't be bothered turning it off. Yeah, I get it in the post too. Do you know what's interesting about my current car situation?

Yeah. Get happier. Number three on the list of the top six ways to get to number one on the happiness scale. Go to bed early. Sleep is important. Yeah. And you can play with yourself before your partner gets to bed. And we all know that helps you get to sleep.

Yeah. Get there nice and early. That's a great one. Shut the door. Play with yourself. Number two on the list of the top six ways to get a great one. Shut the door. Play with yourself. Number two on the list of the top six ways to get to number one on the happiness scale. Listen to your favourite music. It's a beautiful reminder that everybody else's music taste is trash compared to yours.

You've got the best music taste. You do. And number one on the list of the top six ways to get to number one on the happiness scale. Go for a walk because the world is full of things that you can hate and judge when you're out on your walk. You've just got to find them and feel so much better about yourself. Someone else's interior design choice? Yuck.

Someone else's garden? What were they thinking? Oh, God, how embarrassing. Someone else out walking? All right, jog on, Ugmo. Ugmo! And you'll feel better about yourself. And that is the way we get to number one on the happiness scale.

That is today's top six. Play. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. We get to number one on the Habit of Scarlett as today's top six. There is a woman in America, which I believe... Just the one? I think it's predominantly men. Good. Well, you can kind of see why the courts and stuff keep making decisions that way then. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they've got the power. Right, gotcha. Apparently there's a massive labour shortage. So like people, a labour shortage would be like they need workers, right? Yes. Yeah, they need workers.

Because we've got a similar thing here, right? A lot of industries struggling to fill jobs. Yeah. Unemployment's low. Yes. Isn't it? Now what is this company she worked for? America.

Beauty, a beauty company called Ulta. Right. She was looking for a job. They really needed workers. She got the job at Ulta. Always going well. She turned up for her first day. And then in the middle of her first shift,

she was like, eh, I'm out. Because she said, quote, the vibes are off. Wow. The vibes are a little bit off. She just felt like, eh, nobody introduced themselves to me. Like, people aren't super chatty and friendly. The vibe's off. The vibe's off.

She did a vibe check, and I tell you what. They were off. They were off. She did a vibe check and I tell you what. They were off. They were off. She checked the vibe's best before date and went off three weeks ago. Yeah. And everyone was like messaging her saying, you didn't give it enough time. A vibe check takes a little bit longer. Now, when you know, you know.

I'm famously good at first impressions. Are you? Immediately judging whether or not I'm going to like somebody and absolutely sticking by that decision. You just keep to yourself and you don't talk to people. Yeah, I know. I'm judging. I'm moving around them.

You wouldn't let them prove you wrong and be like, win you over? Well, I never am wrong. Right. There's yet to be a case where my first impression hasn't been perfect. Really? Oh, that person's a bit much. That's my first impression. That was your first impression of Hayley,

but now look at you. I still believe she's a bit much. Bit much. Who's ringing you? Yeah, I'm getting a call from my friend. Hell of a time in the morning for a call. No one's calling at this time of the morning. Why are they calling you?

We're about to ask people to call. Yeah, yeah, no. We're about to ask people to call. Because I want, no. We're about to ask people to call. Because I want to know, this woman did a vibe check, vibes are off, she quit, first shift. I want to know the weirdest reason you quit. Or maybe someone quit at your workplace. Yeah, yeah, yeah, why'd they leave?

Maybe they did a vibe check and they went, vibes are off. Vibes are off. Vibes are off. Poo, what's that stink? What are these vibe flies here for? The vibes are off. Vibes are off. Poo, what's that stink? What are these vibe flies here for? The vibes are off. And they're getting into it. So weirdest reason people have quit.

Yeah, I've never quit a job. Have you ever been fired? I've only ever been fired. Only ever been fired from lots, quit from none. No, I've soft left jobs. You know, like, oh, I work here full time and now I'm going to uni, so I'm going to like cut that down. And then I was a freelancer. And oh, I work here full time and now I'm going to uni, so I'm going to, like, cut that down. And then I was a freelancer.

And then now I work here and I'll never leave. All right, well, maybe you've worked with someone. I'm dying, I'm irrelevant. I'm unrelatable. Maybe you've worked with someone and they gave you a weird reason. Maybe there was a strange smell in your office and you're like, I'm out of here. I'm out.

I can't put up with this every single day. Or you just hated your workmates. Or you accepted a job and then you drove there and it took a long time. Oh my God. I'm not doing that every day. Yes. Stuff this for a living. I'm not doing that every day.

Yeah. I'm miles away from my house. We are wanting to know the strangest, weirdest, randomest reasons why you quit a job because a TikToker shared that she quit a job midway through her first shift because she did a vibe check. The vibe was off.

The vibe was off. Yeah, yeah. Now my mum just reminded me because my mum like retired many, many years ago. Yeah. And then when they were, they live in a sort of wine region. Yeah. And mum was like, you know what, I'm going to get a little bit of a job.

What, stop the boredom? Just to have something to do? Yeah, why not? Like, just to do something. Yeah. And she went to a winery and then she quit on the first day. Two reasons. Yeah.

One, she took a sip of the wine and it was shit. Wow. That's, when you know, you know. She can't be out peddling this crap. Yeah. She was like running a cellar door and then she was like trying to talk to people about this wine and she was like, ew, yuck. And the second one was they asked her to clear the spittoons and she was like, no.

What are the spittoons? The spit. When you taste, if you don't, if? The spit. You taste if you don't, if you're like a whiny and you don't, just drink it. Yeah. You spit it out into a bucket. If you're a whiny who's spitting,

grow up. Yeah, get it down you. And she's like, I'm out of here. Yeah, she quit on day one. She did a vibe check. All right, the unusual or weird reasons you've quit a job. Lacey, why did you quit?

So, yeah, I was working at this garage store company and to be honest, there was a bit of a language barrier. And, yeah, the guy came and he was, like, telling me what to do the first time and I was only, like, 16. And I just didn't quite get it, so I asked him again and he just, yeah, he went off at me, eh? And then so I got...

He just left. He was just not a heavy man. I'm out. I got to smoko time and I was like, oh, yeah, I'm just going to go down and grab a pie. And you just never came back. And I just kept walking. I made it home and, yeah, never went back.

So you made it to morning tea. Wow. Yeah, I made it to morning tea. It was, yeah, it was the shortest job I've ever had. Not even worth putting on the CV, I reckon. It does blow my mind on the first morning before morning tea who's angry at you for not knowing what to do, but it was literally your first couple of hours.

Yeah. On the job. You can't go to garage door university and learn before you get there, can you? No. It's an on-the-job learning. Lacey, thank you. Georgia, why did you quit a job?

It wasn't me. It was someone that we were inducting into our workplace. Oh, okay. We took her upstairs to meet all the office staff, and it turned out her recently ex-husband's mistress was the payroll lady. Wait, her recently ex-husband's mistress. So the reason for the ex-husband. Oh, wow.

And she was working at that job, and she's like, I just cannot work here. Yeah, she kind of just just complete shock, walked away, burst into tears and never came back. Oh. Oh, that's really sad. The mistress. Yeah. Who was hotter, payroll lady or the new recruit?

No comment. Oh, okay. You're right. You said I quit. Georgia, thank you. Let's go to Sarah. Sarah, why did you quit a job? So I was at university.

I needed some cash. I got a job on a local chicken farm collecting eggs. Oh, yeah. Were these happy chickens or were they stuffed into cages? Well, they weren't in cages, but they were very stuffed into a barn, like two-foot feet. Right. Unquote free range.

Right, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was at that moment I realised I was actually bloody terrified of chickens. Why are you scared of chickens? Chickens are scarier than people think. They've got massive talons. Yeah, and I think those guys were a little bit hungry

so they would like fly at me when I would crouch down to pick up the egg. So I was like putting one egg in the bucket and then throwing one egg away for all the chooks to chase that. And I'd put another egg in the bucket and then I'd throw the other one. Like a D-boy egg. Would they cannibalise the egg?

Yeah, they would just eat the egg. Eat their own egg? No, you were teaching them to eat the egg. You can't eat an egg. Yeah, I lasted 45 minutes. Oh, wow. And then I got in tears. Dude, and...

I got in tears. Sarah, how bad did chicken barns stink? Oh, it was awful. The smell. I bet, I bet. Now Sarah's a vegan. Sarah, thank you for sharing. Jeff, why did you quit a job?

G'day. So back in the days when there were milk runs, a guy at school's dad was offering jobs, so I went and worked for him for a night and I quit for two reasons because he paid me $2.50 for seven hours and and the creepy reason the main reason I left was because he used to squat down next to the truck and he didn't wear underpants and his scrotum would hang out the side. Oh no we don't need to scrotum. We don't need a scrotum for a milk delivery.

We don't need to see some old man sack hanging out of his... Yeah, truck drivers love a scrot squat. A scrot squat. They do. Maybe one of those old mates at the urinal that doesn't pull down his shorts, he just lifts a leg. Yeah, he goes down the leg. What is this?

Sorry. Oh, no. So guys who wear short shorts, people who wear like Canterbury shorts, short shorts, they won't pull down the front of their pants and go penis over. They snake the penis out the leg part and they're kind of like, I remember as a kid trying it and, well, granted it was a smaller penis, not a lot smaller, but it was smaller. And it has to go down the leg and then out the angle.

There's a bit of an angle there. There's a twist in the urethra. It can't be good for your urethral health. No, you can't bend the urethra. There's a kink in the hose. Jeff, you're not an under. Are you an over, traditional over? Yeah, oh, yeah.

Yeah. He sounds like he would have been an under the undies. I never saw the main bit, just the balls. Yeah. He sounds sad about that. Arguably, arguably. You've been through it. You've been through it, Jeff.

I would like to award you the Caller of the Week prize. Yeah, it's fantastic. You've won a $50 McCafe voucher thanks to our mates at McCafe, where I can guarantee not a scrotum to be seen. Not a scrotum to be seen in that kitchen. Fantastic. Thank you very much. Wear a long pant.

Thank you, Jeff. Well, that's why, because you can't have it. So they urinate in the traditional fashion too. Yeah, fantastic. Fantastic. Thank you very much. They wear a long pant. Thank you, that's why, because you can't have... So they urinate in the traditional fashion too. Yeah, fantastic. Jesus. That's just going to be flashbacks.

Serious. I didn't know that behaviour happened. Because your father would never have worn a short, short, apart from on the squash

No, he would have in the 80s, 90s. Yeah, but he'd be a penis over, traditional penis over. I would hope that my father, Craig Sproul, is a penis over man.

Patsy's listening. Can we get just a confirmation of Craig? Ian's anal leg it. Can you ask dad? Because he's always wearing short shorts. Or he'll always leg it. Risking a lot of dribble on the thigh. It's just the kink in the penis that I worry about with nutritional down

the short leg. It shouldn't be bending the wreath like that. Okay. Someone wants us to run a pole. A silly little pole. No, it doesn't need a pole. If we're going over, are we taking everything over or just the hose? No, I want you to sleep. You leave the balls in and you just take the hose. Or are you taking everybody?

I take everybody. I take everybody. I take everybody. I take the whole family. I'm taking the whole package. All right, okay. I can't believe I just messaged my mum saying, Mum, can you ask Dad if he's a penis over man? No, no, no.

She's not going to know what that means. She's listening. She's listening. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She said, I am not waking your father up to ask him. Craig, wake up. Hayley's got a question. Craig, are you a penis over man?

When you're weedy, just blob it out the bottom of your shorts or do you go over the top? Or do you bend the urethra? That's the bend that pulls me off. It's spritzy. It's weird. Should we leave it there?

And you need short shorts. Should we leave it there? We have more reasons people quit on their first... Okay. Are we going to beat the milkman bulls though? No, I don... Okay. Are we going to beat the milkman bulls, though? No, I don't know. We're going to beat the milkman bulls. Yeah, I don't think we're going to beat that.

I started a job at a fish processing plant. I lasted one hour. The smell was unbearable, but the eyeballs of the fish were what did it to me. They stared at me as I had to begin to butcher them. Until they put them in the mincer and make fish fingers. Yeah, yum. Yum. Yum.

Yum. Someone said they quit on their first day when they found out that they didn't get to use their annual leave when they wanted. They had to use it when the place shut down over Christmas and in mid-year there was a break as well. Yeah, some places make you do that. That's rough. That's rough, isn't it?

I work in HR. I have had heaps of weird reasons people have quit. The funniest was because they had to walk too much and thought they'd be better suited to a desk job. Okay, wow. Yeah. I worked at a fast food joint for a week as a teenager. I quit because the floor was too sticky.

And then when they cleaned it, it got squeaky and the sound grossed me out. Wow, okay. Okay, somebody said that they were in the car with their four-year-old who's very intrigued about this hot topic and asks if he's been doing it right because he takes the whole family out when he does wheeze. No, that's right. That's acceptable.

Takes the whole situation out. I mean, it's not bad. Flipping it all over the waistband. No, that's not bad. Flipping it all over the waistband. No, that's not good. Are there any growing men out there who are dropping their entire pants and undies to the knees or lower on a urination?

Sometimes that would be a good laugh would do that, wouldn't we? It's a good, if you get into the toilets and you're at a urinal and you've got to agree, everybody's pants right down. I pulled my pants right down

because I knew form was coming. It cracked me up a lot. And I was at the urinal just with my pants like you did when you were a kid. My husband wears short, short for work, but he doesn't go out the leg. He goes over. In fact, he drops his pants right to the ground every time. He's a grown man. He's a grown man in full-time employment.

And his pants, pants on the ground. Pants on the ground like a kid. Right to the ankles. When you do that when you're a little kid, it's to avoid dribbling. Why did you do that as a kid? Because I remember doing that as a kid. But why did you? I thought it was to get the pants and everything out of the way so you didn't

dribble. And someone said on their rugby trip, they've got a rule, it's called kiddie piddles only. And you've got to take your pants all the way to the ground. Wow. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.

Now, ACC have, you know, they always release their stats, what's causing the injuries, the injuries, what's causing the claims. Yep, yep. Always a scooter's an avocado cutting, isn't it? I've made two claims on ACC this year, both were for chipped teeth. One was my necklace went like boof at the gym and chipped the front.

And the other one was Aaron accidentally punched me in the jaw. He was trying to point at something at the ceiling as I was looking down and we went and connected. Brittle teeth. Brittle teeth. I've got such brittle teeth. Brittle teeth. I need to drink more milk. I think. Yeah. Will that make my teeth stronger? Sure. So they say. Bacteria. Bacteria I reckon.

Bit of calcium. Bit of calci. What is costing the taxpayer in ACC $36,000 this year is the crock. The humble crock. The humble crock has cost tens of thousands of dollars.

I can see why. In only a couple of months as well. Yeah, exactly. So this, there have been 51 active crock-related claims in the past 12 months. The shoe is to blame for multiple injuries to multiple parts of the body. The most common body part?

Ankle. The foot, including the ankle. Because in the dry, a croc is fantastic. But when wetness gets inside the croc, they do become slippery. Yeah, right. Like if a bit of mud works its way, and if you're in the garden and a bit of dirt gets in there, and then the sweat of the foot or maybe the water from the hose gets in there,

it becomes a real slippery guy. A rubbery mess. Right. A real slippery rubbery guy. Do you have a back strap? Would that help? That's four-wheel drive. You can chuck it into four-wheel drive,

but a lot of people just have it in sports mode and casual. Yeah. Yeah, right. Well, that was the majority of the claims was either foot or ankle claims from slippage. And then people are actually writing on the ACC form. Crocs. My crocs were slippery dippery.

There was eight ankle injuries, 15 foot injuries, and the rest of them were kind of around the foot area. Miscellaneous foot area. Yeah. Soft tissue injuries, 25 of the claims made. Bit of tissue. And those in the 65-plus age group rocking the croc, not good for old grandma and grandpa.

Oh, really? They are the most popular claimers. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. So the inclusion of the term croc is what defined these stats. They had to say, I was out in the garden wearing my bejeweled croc when I slipped from the...

Oh, heavens. There could be many more because I don't think people would get too specific on their form, would they? Yeah. Always think when I write out an ACC form, I'm like, you don't want to write anything embarrassing. Yeah. Just be vague.

So there's a podiatrist chimed in saying that they're good for around the house, definitely not for tramping in. No, no, no, no, no. Or kind of full-on physical activities. Who's going tramping or for a walk in them? Yeah. So he's saying they're very cheap to make. They don't have an outsole or a midsole.

They're just one material. There's not a lot to them. They're not great for the foot for a long-term thing, which is interesting because doctors and kitchen staff wear them a lot, don't they? Nurses, yeah, they love them, yeah. People on their feet. But he says they're good. They're a good shoe, but if you wear them on

like a polished concrete, it's an accident waiting to happen. He says it's like skating on ice. So be careful out there with your Crocs, because I know they're very popular now. Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley.

Silly little po. Silly Little Pole. If you were seeing your favourite artist in concert, what time would you prefer? This was brought up because Jamie Lee Curtis in the lead up to Oscars Awards, she did the awards red carpets and she floated the idea to bands that they play at one o'clock in the afternoon.

Not so late at night because she'd like to go for a matinee performance. I mean, I guess you go to an afternoon festival. It's cool. It's nice when it's in the sun. But then do you think it's better with the lights when it's at night? For sure. Like, do you think My Chemical Romance a couple of weeks ago would have been as great if it was one o'clock?

No, because all the goths would have got burnt. They would have sizzled. They would have sizzled under the sun. Yeah. You can't go in the sun. All the goths. No, I love a night time concert But I get the idea

if it was at 1pm. Really? Okay, yeah, right. We've got some more time at the end of the day. Sammy said, I'd be plastered by 9pm. So 9pm's too late.

Maybe more of a 5 o'clock situation there for Sammy. Delicious. Dana says, worst part of a hangover is tiredness. If I can get the day drinky boogie in the daylight and be in bed by 10, I'm a happy wee girl. Yeah. Fair. That's a great point. Tiana says, I retract my 1pm

But that's what they're saying, they'd take a day's annual leave If it's your favourite band you'd take a day's annual leave for For sure So there you go, that's the little poll today Move concerts to more daytime concerts, please. I love hot cross buns. And as I get older, I like them. They're my preferred Easter treat to chocolate eggs.

Controversial. Oh, no, that's a controversial statement. You can have both. It's a controversial statement. But chocolate reigns supreme. Sorry, you say that you'd rather hot cross buns than chocolate. Yes. I think I agree. Like a good hot cross bun.

Because I had a hot cross bun at the weekend and it was some trash. Oh, was it? It was dry. It was dry. Well, you've got to soak all the dryness up with butter. Yeah, I know. The butter's got to really sponge through. But at the same time, the best hot cross buns don't need butter.

Butter will always make them better, but the good ones don't need butter. No, yeah, they're not like, they're not that dry. This is actually the one hot cross bun of the year. Ooh. Romano's hot cross buns. Oh, no, that's the man. Romano's is the man That makes them

He makes the The sourdough hot cross bun Huh And the sourdough The daily bread Fermented Daily bread That's in Auckland

They've got a couple of places Okay The best way to eat them Fresh out of the oven Just as they are You won't even need butter That to me That's gonna be a moist

Hot cross bun Yeah Moist but like a little bit of toast Yeah Like a little bit of toast. Yeah, like a little. Do they have a glaze? Do they have a glaze? Oh, they're glazed. Oh, they're glazed.

You've got a glaze. I'll tell you a little bit more about this. Warning. Yeah. Following description may cause salivation. They're mixed with fruit candies. The sourdough dough is mixed with fruit candies made from Gisborne-grown oranges. And this is the longest part of the operation,

adding sugar to the oranges and removing water to produce super glossy crystals that take four days. Four days. And obviously we use sultanas and currants, as well as an in-house paste and spice that we grind ourselves. Yum. Oh, mummy. Oh, mummy, please. And then baked and gla ourselves. Yum. Oh, mummy. Oh, mummy, please.

And then baked and glazed. Yep. And, yeah, I mean, these are high-end hot cross buns, $4.50 each for a six-pack for $20. Okay. You're going six-pack. What a saving. Yeah.

What a saving. So that's the number one in the whole country. According to this, Simon Brewstrom Timaru's U-Bake placed second and third place is awarded to John Thompson from Copenhagen Bakery in Christchurch. Okay. Delicious. Yum, yum, yum. Hot cross bun. So, you've got a place by your

place that makes, and there's always a line around the block for those hot cross buns. Yeah, they sell it every year. Because they don't do a flour paste cross. They do a custard cross. It do a custard cross. It's a custard cross. That's right. Yes, it's a good cross.

Yeah, it's a good cross. What is that place called? A great way to remember Jesus. Ema. Ema. Ema. Yeah. And they've won in the past. They have.

They've won awards or best buns. Also, the place opposite work. Yeah, they do. Is it Scratch? Well, everybody's doing them at the moment. It's Easter, imminent, two, three weeks away. They've got to be these ones

that you can get in your mouth pretty quick. I don't want one made in a massive factory and then put in a sorting machine and then a Gryffindor and they get put in a truck and then they get sent

to the supermarket and then they sit there for the day and then I take them home and I put them in the toaster to try and get them to cook and then they dry out, you know? Every Easter, you're thumbing that into a toaster.

I know. And picking it out with a fork. Yeah, I'm going to put a fork in there. It's time you started using the oven grill for your Easter buns. Yeah, that's true. That's true. But do you remember about an air fryer? Could you pop it in there?

No, too crisp. It'll be too crisp. It'll tune to dust. Nah, it'll be too crisp. Remember, there was a couple of Easter's ago we had, we got them and we overcooked them. You've got to be careful. You've got to watch them.

You don't want to bake it. Watch them like a hawk. But then, okay, so this is the problem now as we speak now on this networked radio program across this beautiful country of ours. Aotearoa. Christchurch knows where because they've got the third place. Timaru knows where. They've got the second place.

Auckland knows where. What about in between? Where's Valley? Is it time to dust off the old index? And the lead up to Easter? I like the ice cream index. Ice cream index. I tell you what, that got a bit heated over some of the ice cream index.

Yeah, people were like, you messed up. Well, this is an index made by you for you. If you didn't put your hand up at the time, don't come in late having a whinge in a mug. I couldn't agree more. So, yeah, I'm thinking we might have to dust off the index for a hot cross bun index. Yeah, I like that.

All the best places to get hot cross buns across this nation of ours. Next couple of days. Take some calls. Maybe we could do North Island tomorrow, South Island the day after that, Friday. Yeah, I think so because we don't want to leave out Wellington and the likes. Hamilton will be upset. We've got to get the best hot cost cash. I reckon I've got a couple of hot contenders for Hamilton.

Do you? Just from my own personal experience. Well, let's launch this tomorrow. Let's get into it. Not today. We're too hungover, aren't we, Hayley? I couldn't possibly do anything more than a bad minimum today. Is your Uber Eats come yet?

All those details are at ZM Online for Lizzo. Siding. Pink is another woman. Well, she announced a tour, didn't she? She announced a tour recently. Yeah, we're going with book tickets. Like 18 shows. I wish I'd remembered that.

I could have said, speaking of women. Yeah, you really missed a segue there. Women. Yeah. Pink has said that her daughter is the only girl in her class without a cellular telephone. Oh, really? Yeah, she's the only 11-year-old in her class without a mobile phone. 11?

Yeah. What age are kids getting cell phones these days? Like, what age would you get one? Well, Andy, go on for her 11th birthday. Right. Yeah, like 10 and stuff. Yeah. But she doesn't take it to school.

Does Augie have a phone? Nah. She plays on yours. She's got an iPad or yeah, she'll play on one of our phones. But Pink's main reason is that she doesn't want her

having free and easy access to social media. Okay. She said a lot of the kids her age are on TikTok and such and she's like, it's just,

I just don't think it's good for her. So she doesn't need one. And Sage Willow is like, Meme, Meme, Meme, everybody in my class has a pen and a Tic Tac.

Yeah, but everyone in her class doesn't have a mum who like acrobats around like huge arenas. Yeah. She said, they're not my kids. You're my kid.

How good's that? That's so good from mum. Yeah, they're not my kids. I remember at primary school, there was a family that didn't have a TV and that just blew my mind. That would be the equivalent. Was that the equivalent in like the 80s or the 90s?

Yeah, I reckon. Of social media. It would rot your brain. Yeah, you don't want to poison your brain. Yep. That's what I reckon too. That was the modern equivalent. Wow.

Of the brain rot. What was before that? Books. You would just, if you were, you'd just eventually buy a phone of your parents. Once you got old enough as a teenager, you'd just save your money and buy one. And buy it, yeah. You'd just get one somehow. Yeah.

Yeah. Or just get a real simple one if it's for communications and stuff. Yeah. 20 cents a text. I don't think we were ever really not allowed anything. No, I was given anything I ever wanted. I mean, we've... From a private school.

You weren't allowed guns, eh? Toy guns. Oh, every now and again, we... Yeah, but they weren't big on it. Yeah. Like super soakers or something like that. Yeah, we had super soakers. Yeah.

What about like a nerfy... the idea of blasting somebody else with. So great. Yeah. Maybe that's why as an adult I had nerf guns. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. Because, yeah, we were like those, and I remember some kids at school would just be like,

I can't believe you're allowed those. Yeah. Believe it, sucker. We weren't allowed fruit roll ups You know they're like Yeah yeah too sugary Yeah yeah yeah too crazy Yeah lots of good

Those were teeth rippers too If you had all those tooth that was a great one Accidentally swallow your teeth On a roll up We just didn't have them because we were poor They were expensive We never had little snacks. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. But that wasn't

like a, you're not having those. You're not allowed them. That was a money thing. A money issue. Your mum said I can make you some of those if you want them that bad. Melt some cheese. Big bag of crackers and some cheese in a bowl. And a bit of dip stuff. And glad wrap.

So, I want to take some calls. I think we've got to ask the nation, what weren't you allowed as a kid? It's so weird. Was anything bad? Because now we're adults, I can literally have whatever I want. I mean, not like I can't buy a boat because that costs money. Yeah.

But I'm allowed to. I just ordered McDonald's. For breakfast. I didn't have to ask my mum. And now I've got it. Yeah. Because I'm an adult. Yeah. It's so weird thinking about being a kid when you, like,

have to get permission for things. There were probably kids that grew up where their parents were like, no fast food. No fast food, yeah, no nonnies. No, yeah. That was a big treat for us because we lived in the country. That was basically just the sense of everything. But there would be parents that are like Fitz Boaz.

Yeah. And they'd just be like, no, those are always the parents that like get a couple of drinks in them and then they're just like blah, blah, blah, blah. Just like, you know, eating them all. We're talking about what you weren't allowed as a kid. Pink's daughter is 11 and doesn't have a cell phone and she said she doesn't need one. She's not getting one, but everyone in her class has got one,

so it's not fair. Yeah. It's not fair, Mum. I need one. You don't know what it's like. I hate you, Mum. I hate you, Pink. You're such a...

Do you think she calls her Mum, Pink? Yes, she might do. What's her name? Alicia. Alicia. Alicia Beth. So we're talking about what you weren't allowed. There are some.

Some are really interesting. Some are sad. Some are sad. Wasn't allowed Barbie dolls. This has come from a few people. Oh, yeah. Okay. Wasn't allowed Barbie dolls.

One person in the message is saying, I'm 45 now. I still don't have one. Go get one. They're cheap as chips. Yeah, go get yourself one. Or get a knockoff Barbie doll. Yeah. Or you go to the markets. They do the as chips. Yeah, go get yourself one. Or get a knock-off Barbie doll. Yeah. Or you go to the markets.

They do the same job, don't they? Someone said I wasn't allowed a Barbie doll because apparently it was an unrealistic role model for young girls. That's not true. I've got a 10-centimetre waist and I'm seven foot tall. And your feet are constantly in a... Yeah. A higher heel shape.

I don't have any genitals. We know this. Yeah. Just a mouth. And you can do that thing with your leg and it just spins round and round.

Yeah. And that's why you never cut your hair because it won't grow back. It simply won't. It simply will never grow back. In the producer's booth, Shannon,

Shannon let pyjamas. What weren't you allowed in your house as a kid growing up? We didn't have a microwave. Why not? Oh, happy parents. You got happy parents. I don't know and I We didn't have a microwave. Why not? Oh, happy parents. You've got happy parents.

I don't know, and I didn't know what a microwave was until I was maybe 10 years old, and oh my goodness, it blew my mind. A microwave. It really heats food up quickly. Who knew a plate of soup

could be piping hot to the touch and the soup be just cold? If we were heating up a curry the next day, you'd have to put it in a frying pan. It's a better heat, though. It is a frying pan. It's a better heat, though. It is a better heat. It's a better heating to do it the old-fashioned way. But do your parents still, because this could explain why both your parents are quite hot.

They are very. Very attractive people. They're attractive people. Yeah, I would. Do they still microwave? So they have one now. But, yeah, we just used to have a gap in the pantry. There's like a microwave hole.

And I had no idea why. Yeah, we just had stuff have a gap in the pantry. There's like a microwave hole. And I had no idea why. Yeah, we just had stuff in there. Yeah, right. But finally, maybe when I was 15, 16, I was like, it's okay, it's time. They gave it. Can we get a microwave, please? I'm a young person. I want two-minute noodles.

Yeah, noodles. I knew it was going to be noodles. I knew it was going to be noodles. Easier. Way easier to cook in the microwave. It was a big day in the pyjamas household. Some messages in. I was never allowed a school sweatshirt.

Mum always knitted ours in whatever colour the school. Mum. You can't do that. But they probably lost one. That would have been expensive. So they knitted. Mum would knit it. And then when we got to a certain age where they were like,

that's not school uniform, mum had a big go at them about it. Oh, wow. And somebody else said that their mum went to a shop and found an old school sweatshirt and cut the logo off and then sewed it onto the knitted sweatshirt. Shame. That's all good. Hey, well, you know, you're going to save...

It's going to be a tough year for some people money-wise. This is selling some great money-saving tips. Oh, absolutely. Heather, what weren't you allowed as a kid? I wasn't allowed glad wrap on my sandwiches. Aw, for the environment's sake or? Yeah, pretty much. Mum was kind of like, why would you want glad wrap when you have a perfectly good lunchbox?

So I'd kind of like step aside. Oh, wait, she was just flopping it in raw. No, to be loud. Raw sandwich in there. Oh, wait, she was just flopping it in. No, to bounce around. Raw sandwich in there. Yeah, pretty much. I'd step aside and I would kind of unwrap it and pretend that I had Glad Wrap on it. But you'd be remaking the sandwich in the lunchbox, wouldn't you?

Oh, pretty much. That's like saying, why do you need a seatbelt? You've got a perfectly good car to protect you. Yeah. It's rattling around inside the car. Oh, Heather. And do you glad wrap now? I do.

Everything is super glad wrapped. Oh, Heather. But the environment is over the top. Nah, the environment's fine. Well, I mean, the environment had like eight years of me

not having glad wraps. So you're saying the environment owes you one. Oh, yeah, it does. You've got a great point. You're welcome. That's how it works. Because the earth

had it good for millions of years before humans turned up. We're just making up for lost time. Yeah, that's right. We'll show you climate. Thank you, Heather. Heather? Brad. Heather.

Brad, what weren't you allowed as a kid? Morning, guys. I was raised a Jehovah's Witness, so I didn't have any holidays of any kind, like birthdays, Christmas, Easter. No birthdays. Okay, ready? Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday, dear Brad! Times 25. Happy birthday to you! Thank you. I celebrated my first birthday and my first Christmas this year. Oh! Holy moly. Aren't they so much fun?

Are you still in the witness protection? No. Jehovah's Witness Protection. It's when you leave the Jehovah's Witnesses, but you've got to be protected from them. But you've got to be protected. Jehovah's Witnesses Protection. Okay leave the Jehovah's Witnesses, but you've got to be protected from them. But you've got to be protected. Jehovah's Witnesses protection. Okay, so you left.

You left. And now you're free to have birthdays. I am indeed, yes. My cousin left as well, and she didn't have any growing up either, so we celebrate together now. Wow. Did you go rogue when you left?

Did you just get out there and cause a ruckus? A little bit, yeah, a little bit. I want to talk to you a little bit more. What else? Made up for a bit, yeah, a little bit. Oh, okay. I want to talk to you a little bit more. What else? Made up for a bit of lost time, you know? Yeah, right. Didn't you have, as a member of that church,

because, I mean, birthdays and Christmases I kind of knew, but I'm sure there's other things. Because you only use horses. No, as Amish people. Oh, okay. No, no, so those are fine. There was a lot of things, especially like on TV, we weren't allowed to watch, so I saw Lord of the Rings the first time when I was 23. Oh, okay. No, no, so those are fine. There was a lot of things, especially like on TV, we weren't allowed to watch.

So I saw Lord of the Rings the first time when I was 23. Oh, dude. Harry Potter. Wizard and stuff. Oh, I bet. Yeah, Harry Potter. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, all of that stuff.

Yeah. Wow. I feel like I could talk to you for... I know, same. Did you go door knocking? Oh, yeah, that was... Oh, that's the thing. I didn't play sports in school

because I had to spend my Saturdays knocking on doors. Oh, hey, you know when people are hiding behind the couch, eh? And don't want to come to the door. Yeah, yeah, we know. They know that you're hiding. Do you see them peeking through the curtains? I did see that from time to time. Honestly, for most of the kids growing up,

we were quite happy when people didn't answer the door. We'd knock and we'd be saying, please don't answer, please don't answer. I just think it's so sad to hear the kids have put through that. What? So you went to, like, a public school, like a school with heathens? Yes, so all of primary school,

and I did the first year of high school, and then I was homeschooled from that. You were homeschooled. Was that, like, hard when you'd go to someone's house and you're like, oh, my gosh, I know them from school? Yeah, because I grew up in a really small town, so I knew everybody at the time. They all knew me.

It wasn't too bad after a while because, I mean, everyone knew that I was the witness kid. The witness kid? Yeah, yeah. I feel like Hayley wants to hang out with you just so she can corrupt you. Like looking at your face, Hayley. I'm just thinking about all the things I did

while you were door knocking. Good lord, Brad. I've made up for it. Don't worry. Oh, good for you. How fascinating. Thank you, Brad. Thanks, Brad.

Thank you. Call again, Brad. Happy New Year sometime. When's your birthday? My birthday is January 14th. Oh, we've missed it. We've just missed it. So what would you do on your birthday?

Just be like, congratulations, today is the day you were born, but that's all you're getting. Or it just wasn't acknowledged, or you'd be like, maybe this is the year they're going to do it. Oh, it's just another day. Just another day. Oh, my God.

Man, as a kid? Come on! Can you call us next January, please? And we are going to celebrate you. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. We probably would have forgotten by then, so just some context would be helpful.

Don't just cold call and say, hey, it's my birthday. It's Brad. Who cares? I'm Brad. Like, who's Brad? Brad, thank you so much. Happy birthday. Some more messages in. What weren't you allowed as a kid? I wasn't allowed to watch Doctor Who because mum thought it was

evil. Yeah. A lot of TV shows. A lot of TV shows. Weren't you, didn't Christine ban you from South Park? No, no, no, no. She never really knew what, it was Simpsons. We weren't allowed to watch the Simpsons.

Oh, yeah. Hey, man. Hey, man. Respect my third dad. If my mum had seen any South Park clips, we would not have been allowed to watch South Park. No. We weren't allowed to watch the Simpsons

because it was on after Married With Children when it first came on television. They didn't have a problem with Married With Children, which if you've watched recently. Highly problematic. Highly problematic. Highly problematic. Aged very badly. Oh.

Yeah. But it was on after that. And mum was like, well, the show that's on after Married With Children can't be for children. How was that on before The Simpsons? Yeah. Wild days. Yeah. Yeah. Wild days. Yeah. Yeah.

Somebody said, I wasn't allowed the Eminem album because mum heard Paul Holmes say something about him on the radio that she didn't like. R.I.P. Yep. That's Paul Holmes on Eminem. The next day she got me the latest Grand Theft Auto game because they told her it was a car racing game. Highly problematic. Highly problematic. For a young person.

Terrible game. We weren't allowed to fart anywhere but the toilet. Highly problematic. Highly problematic for a young person. We weren't allowed to fart anywhere but the toilet. So you went to the toilet to go wheeze, to go pose and to go fart. And you'd be like, hurry up! I'm farting in here! Would you have private farts in your bedroom? Not if mum

came in there and smelt gassy expulsion. It's not what you think! It's not what you think. I promise, Mum. I promise. It's my socks. It's my socks. We weren't allowed to watch America's Funniest Home Videos. Mum thought it was repugnant that people would laugh at other people getting hurt.

Aw. But when Mum wasn't home and Dad was in charge, he'd let a sneak watch it. And it just made it so much funnier. Brilliant. Oh, my God. So good. How does Mum feel about TikTok? I'd imagine she'd hate it.

Probably. Yeah. Play ZM's? I'd imagine she'd hate it. Probably. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is Gordon Ramsay's tongue has insured for approximately $16 million New Zealand dollars. Oh, my God. Get a grab.

Gordon Ramsay's insurance policy, he insured his tongue, so should he become unable or have a very limited ability to taste food properly after a serious injury or medical diagnosis, he would be able to claim $10 million. $10 million US dollars. A serious injury like the cat got it?

Pause for applause. A Cadbury chocolate scientist who tastes his chocolate for a living, her tongue's insured for $1.25 million. Because didn't like Elle Macpherson insure her legs? Was it Elle Macpherson or what? You know, like a supermodel's insuring her legs? Yeah, she was the legs.

Julie singing was the voice. Julie Andrews? Oh, yes. Singing Julie. Singing Julie. I suppose because it's like If I lost that ability I would lose my ability to work Yeah

So you've got to insure it Bruce What would you insure? I guess it would have to just be The ability to talk right This story from 2016 Mariah Carey Has insured her voice

Yes 35 million dollars I mean that's fair She's Mariah Carey She can do the whistle bit So can I has insured her voice Yes. $35 million. I mean, that's fair. She's Mariah Carey. She can do the whistle bit. So can I. So can I.

Yeah, but she could just like retire and live off the Christmas royalties every year. Yeah, Nick Cannon's child support. But also, how much are you paying for this insurance? Yeah, I don't know.

It's very niche. It's very high paying things. Like, is it worth it if you're paying like, I don't know, what is the premium? Half a mil? I don't know. Very niche, very high-paying things. Like, is it worth it if you're paying, like, I don't know, what is the premium, half a mil? I don't know, because she wouldn't smoke durries, eh? I don't know. Because that would make your premiums even larger if your voice was insured,

but you were doing things that weren't great for your voice. You'd have to be looking after your voice. But, yes, Gordon Ramsay's insured his tongue and his ability to taste. Wow. Because he's such a, you know his tongue has the ability to taste. Wow. Because he's such a, you know, food is sort of his main earner. I mean, he could still make it, but you've got to test it don't you? You have to. You've got to taste as

you go, taste as you go, salt as you go. Salt, taste, season. Salt at every step. What is the three? Salts, fats and? Acids. Acids. Chocolate. Salts, fats, and? Acids. Chocolates. Chocolates. Salts, fats, chocolates.

And acids and chocolate. So today's fact of the day is Gordon Ramsay has his tongue insured. Fact of the day, day, today would be a good day to do it. Wednesday. Wednesday, middle of the week. Hinge, the dating app, did a big chunk of research on what were the most successful days to go on a date. Yeah. And Wednesday, Thursday was the winner at the end of it.

They say Monday, Tuesday, too early in the week. A lot of people don't want to go out late. And also don't want to ruin Taco Tuesday. Don't want to ruin Taco Tuesday. That's so important. Yeah, or go out and you overdo it on Taco Tuesday and you sort of expose yourself early as a taco guts. Yeah.

You're a big taco guts, aren't you? Yeah, I'm a big taco guts. You've got to hide your taco guts until you're at least a few dates in. Yeah, exactly. So Monday, Tuesday's out. People don't want to like ruin their routine. They're setting up a good sort of, you know, I'm not going to drink. I'm not going to go to bed early, read a book.

Friday, Saturday, they say most likely there are nights to be safe for socialising with friends, a guaranteed good time. Yeah. Whereas you wouldn't go like, I'm going to give up my Friday and my Saturday. Yeah. To like some date that might not go that well. So Wednesday, Thursday, if you're planning. Wednesday, Thursday, or if you really don't want to go out in the middle of the week,

they say Sunday brunch. So not Sunday Eve. Hungover though. Hungover? Every Sunday? Nah. Could be a cute little. Yeah.

It's a good idea. Would you judge somebody by what they got for Sunday brunch? Why? What would be a meal you'd judge? No, no. I wouldn't. I don't think there's any Sunday brunch meal I would judge. I want a little bit of these.

I want a little taste of these. A question like when people go for the big sweet one. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the pancakes? Like you're an adult and you're getting like the stack of pancakes with candy floss. Candy floss and maple and that creamy, that real sweet creamy stuff. What's wrong with that? Sometimes I do that.

No, yeah, and we judge you for it. Yeah. That's weird. Like, we're out for eggs. We're here for the eggs. I haven't thought about that going on a first date because it goes without saying if we go out for a meal, we try each other's meals.

It's too soon on a first date. You don't just try the other people. You don't get to try their pancakes. That would be a huge red flag. That would mean that going out with you, going forward, you're nipping at my meal. But I'm going to give them some of mine. I would have ordered what you'd gone if I wanted, George.

No, I got the big breakfast. I got everything. What do you want? Sausage, hash brown. Maybe a bit of sausage. A little bit of scrambled egg. Maybe a bit of sausage. A little bit of bacon.

Yep. A toast. Yeah. You gave me some halloumi the other day, didn't you? Yeah, I did. Yeah, that was great because I added it to my order and you were like

no I won't add it to mine and then you saw it and you thought you were panged with regret I was panged did you get the sweetie did you get the sweetie what did you get

no you got I got big breakfast you got big boy breakfast I got the big boy breakfast but that's the problem if I was going out for the brunch I'd eat the big boy breakfast

I don't want people judging me for eating the big boy breakfast because I'm a big boy. Me and Aaron used to go to like a pub when we lived in Wellington, like just down the road from us, The Realm. The Realm Hai Tai Tai. And their big breakfast was called the big boy breakfast.

I used to love making Aaron. He'd say, can I get the big breakfast? I'd be like, no. What's it called? What do you want? The big boy breakfast. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

Well, Gen Z and Millennial Travellers, according to Flight Centre, have... Lowest airfares guarantee. ...taken up cruise ship bookings. The number of 18 to 34-year-olds going on cruises has gone up from 8%. It's doubled. It must have been 4% before that. So it's up 8%. Wow.

So typically... No, it's up to 8%. That is an increase. Oh, they make up... No, wait. They make up 16% of... That's doubled. They make up 16% of bookings.

Yep. It's up from 8%. It's doubled. It's doubled. It's doubled in the last year. So it's up 100%. So what they're's doubled it's doubled in the last year so it's up 100% so what they're saying is

200% okay you know I'm not good at maths it's increased 100% it's 200% of what it was but 1000% of them are into it

yeah that are on board right dude you vibe attract your tribe I've always said it so apparently because airfares now are so expensive

like if you look at Europe airfares now they're like, like if you look at Europe airfares now, they're like at least two and a half grand. At least. Like you're looking like closer to three grand just to go to Europe return. Are they still accepting German francs? Yeah, they're getting the francs.

No, they're not, no. It's just a Norwegian Corona. Ah. Yeah. A Corona. What a currency it was. I don't think they've been using the German franc for like 25 years. Oh, come on. I think Ah. Yeah. Corona. Ah. Yeah. What a currency it was. I don't think they've been using the German franc for like 25 years.

Oh, come on. I think it's all Euro now. Oh, come on. But yeah, it's the increasing cost of airfares and it's meaning that a lot of younger people are turning to cruise ships. Wow. No thanks.

Although I did see one. I left the gym yesterday and you can see them parked up in the waterfront and one had like a hydra slide and a zip line on it. Yeah, yeah. That's where they get the diarrhea off the ship. Whee! Do you just park yourself on the top of the hydra?

Oh, yeah. As the... It rips through you on a cruise ship. What is it? Gastro. Yeah, gastro. Gastro tears through a cruise ship. Oh, I would...

Seriously, if I was on a cruise ship, I'd jump off the back. I like cannot. The thought if I was on a cruise ship, I'd jump off the back. I, like, cannot. The thought of being stuck on a boat and not being able to leave is hell. You get off every day and you do the touristy thing. Although there are times when you're at sea for, like, what, a week? When they go from here to Australia, I don't get that. I think I'd love cruise ships. It's just the sickness that scares me, the gastro, the COVID.

It seems impossible to escape the sicknesses on these things. Yeah. Look, I love the idea of unlimited food and drink. Yeah. I love the idea of island hopping. Yeah. I love the idea of dressing like a captain and walking around and being like, I should really be steering this thing.

Yeah. Anyway, Costa Concorda. And I love the idea of it. The one thing that puts me off is the sick. But that doesn't happen that much. It happens to everyone every time. It does not. Not everybody that goes on a cruise gets sick.

I think it's like a 100% hit rate. It's a big old roll of the dice. You get at least a bit of a squirt. Yeah, you have at least a little bit of a squirt. You have one that you're not suspecting. You go to the bathroom, you're like, holy hell. Yeah. Where did that come from?

You'll have to take your shart warning alert up to Amber. Yeah. From green where it sits. It's the buffet food. It rips through you. It's just everything. Well, I mean, just be prepared. You may be asked to join friends on a cruise.

Bring a nappy. Because with Gen Z Millennials, it's up 4,000%. I think you've got your stats right now. I'm on board. Yeah. I'm good. Can you? Don't.

Oh, another podcast in the bag. The plastic bag. Are they back? No, no, still banned. Okay. They never left. No, sorry. That's where you come in with the line, Bourne.
