Hello, welcome to the Fleach, Vaughan and Hayley podcast. It's thanks to McCafe, great barista made coffee on the go. I just walked past one of the lovely receptionists, Jackie, at the front desk on my way to the loo after the show. And she was getting a courier delivery and I said, I want treats. And she said, there's a box here for you. I thought, oh my God, treats. What are we talking? Your choccies, your cookies, your promotional donuts. You just literally said that I wasn't allowed to derail you with a breakfast after the show and you just said you wanted treats. Yeah. Which one is it?

Yeah, but if someone was just like, send me a treat, it would be rude not to. Whereas I'm in control of it at the moment. Anyway, I sort of wanted something. I sort of wanted something a little tasty. And I've opened up and I have some poop powder. Someone sent you poop powder? Yeah, a woman from the Wholesome Co. She said that I talk about pooping on national radio a lot.

Well, you do because you've got the issues. The IBS. The IBS. IBS, which leans more towards a constipato as opposed to an explosivo. Yeah, the explosivo. And so she's giving me some powder to help me shit. She says she's very invested in the health of New Zealand women's poops. Okay.

Ingredients. Give it to me. Is there some psyllum husk in there? Hydrolyzed collagen. You know I love collagen. Look at my skin. I'm tight. Verisol collagen peptides.

I love a bit of peptides. Chicory root powder. Lemon powder. Black currant powder. Slippery elm powder. That was actually my nickname at high school. Slippery elm powder. The old slippery elm.

The old slippery elm. What a nickname. The slippery elm. Oh, here he is. He's like the slippery elm. Bloody slippery elm what a nickname the slippery elm oh here he is he's like a slippery elm slips sliding in uh kamu kamu powder marshmallow root powder i love marshmallows and yum yum yum what else i've used this is right by my i'm not gonna say that is because people will find out where i live but that's's right. Aren't you on the electoral roll? I could just pop up the road and be like, do you have any more shit powder?

Hey, I can't poop. But what's in there that makes you move? It's all the fibrous stuff, right? The psyllium husk. That's what's in Metamucil, right? Psyllium husk. I have to give my cat that too. Yeah.

It's like psyllium and kiwi fruit ground up in his little pellets and he poops away. I take a high dose magnesium and it seems to be working, but I'll give this a red hot go. Does your magnesium, it doesn't slide. I just tried to slide it back across the desk. It's a fatty slapper. Good for a game of cornhole. Great for a game of cornhole. A packet of, yeah, right.

I'm not the only one with mail though You're pretty stark flesh I got a soda stream today, I'm an influencer now So what do I put this on? Bold stand on Israel versus Palestine there my friend Do you know why? It's because actually You had a bit of a salt Because I got sent a soda stream

Yeah and I was like, because they have glass bottles now Glass bottles It's like, you know when you get Coke in a glass bottle, why does it taste better? Because it's from Mexico. No, it's not the Mexican Coke. Because Mexico uses, but we do too. The full strength uses sugar.

Whereas in America, American Coke is high fructose corn syrup, which is your body can't break down high fructose. That's a problem. It's like Guinness. Guinness in a can, made in New Zealand. Guinness in a keg, made in Ireland. Tastes different. Are there kegs?

A keg poured Guinness can't be beaten. Oh, my God. We've been having them at the local tavern, the Hua Pai Tavern. Yes, Hua Pai. Have you started to join the Guinness Club? No. Oh, you don't do that. You get a glass on the wall.

Oh, on the board? Yeah. Oh, my God. We walked in and we saw one of these old pubs that has a name and a handle hanging from the roof. That's not the Guinness. The Guinness Club is when you buy a Guinness, they put a mark beside your name. Yes, I've seen that.

When you get 100, you get 100, or 500, or 500, or 1,000, or 1,000. Yeah, right. And the names dwindle down. And some of the names that are lower on the 100 come up a little bit on the, and then they're the only ones on the 1,000. And you're like, someone's died in between the 500 and the 1,000. 100,000 Guinness. I'm imagining some sort of weight-related issue.

Yeah. I know, but the ones that, those are regulars. You take in your handle and they put a number on it, and you're like, 45 Kev, and it says up there what Kev is drinking. What your order is. So they know that you don't have to ask. They already know. But, yeah, I got a SodaStream and then I text them saying,

oh, Fletch is jealous. Right. And so then now you've got a SodaStream. Now I've got a SodaStream. You text SodaStream themselves. Yeah, I did.

Wow, okay. And just wanted to support the work that they do. You got a bit of pull there. I just wanted more gas canisters because that's my thing. I run out of the gas. Yeah.

And then you're like, I must take this in and get it changed. And then you never do You never do You never do Got a whole new one What did you get in the mail?

Something pretty cool? Oh no I just got my Dollar Shave Club thing He's still doing this You don't even Shave I shave my head

Andy Perspirant And the Shave You go through so many Shavers doing your head These ones are so sharp When they come You've got to be very careful for the first few shaves.

And then there's this Goldilocks period of where they're blunted a little bit, but they're not too blunt. Oh, my God. I remember when you took an absolute chunk out of the back side of your head. Yeah, you've got to go slow. I'm going to do it one day. What? Shave my head.

Are you? Yeah, I'd love to. Yeah, I'm going to have a Britney moment. I'm going to do it in an absolute moment of chaos. Wow. I think it's suit a shaved head. Do you reckon Yeah, I'd love to. Yeah, I'm going to have a Britney moment. I'm going to do it in an absolute moment of chaos. Wow. I think it's suit a shaved head. Do you reckon? I don't know. Quite long in the face, quite an egg head. You know? It's an eggy head.

It is eggy head. Turn side on. And not a strong jaw. Oh, you would look very eggy. And quite square from side on. Yeah, let's maybe get someone who works in special effects to see what that looks like before we jump into that. Alright, yeah, let's maybe get someone who works in special effects to see what that looks like before we jump into that.

All right. Yeah, okay. We'll do that first. Great. Play Zed-In's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Hello. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletchets, Fawn and Hayley.

Happy Wednesday. Happy Wednesday. Wednesday. Witness Day. The middle of the week. Don't. Not the H word. We don't say that here.

We don't say the hum. Happy Wednesday. We don't say that. Yeah. It's not allowed. It's lovely lady lumps day. Yes. Do you know today's the 23rd of November,

so we're a couple of, it's nearly a month away from Christmas. I'm ready. I saw someone I haven't seen in ages yesterday at the gym, and I was like, how are you? She was like, yeah, just like waiting for Christmas. I was like, yeah, same. Just like ready for Christmas. Waiting was like, yeah, same. Just like ready for Christmas.

Waiting for Christmas. Yeah. I was talking to my nan yesterday, and she said, oh, we'll see you at Christmas at the end. I was like, well, we might talk before then. She's like, no, we won't. Probably not. And she's right.

It just flies by. It gets busy. It gets too busy, doesn't it? Yeah. You've got a nan still. Yeah, I'm very, very lucky. And God, yesterday when I talked to her, she... That's so retro.

That's a man. I want a throwback. I know. It's a little bit, you know, a little bit, you know, pitch, a little bit me, a little bit vintage. Yeah, she was in charge yesterday. She was telling me all about sports and T20 and how she loves her sports. Yeah, she does.

Yeah, she controlled the conversation. So she's sharp as a tack. Yeah. Old Marlene. This will be my first Christmas not heading up to church because my pop died last year, and so no... Did you have to go to church? Yeah.

Right. Yeah, yeah. What church? Catholic church? Methodist. Methodist! Wesley Methodist. Shout out to Wesley Methodist in Dargaville when you walked in

did you like feel a burning hot yeah yeah yeah yeah anytime I'd look at the cross it would

my retinas would burn yeah and you'd have a little whispering in the air it'd be like Hayley it's me God and you'd be like not now God

you're my only way to talk to the entire population of humans not now God let me speak through you yeah no I got other things to talk to the entire population of humans. Not now, God! Let me speak through you. Yeah, no! I've got other things to talk about. Coming up on the show, the top six.

Yeah, the popsicle sticks. There's an interesting, rather than the old days, we used to get prizes on the popsicle sticks. Yeah. Every time I say popsicle sticks, I get a funny feeling because I can imagine licking them. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that taste.

You can taste it immediately. When did they stop doing... Yeah. Yeah, when did they stop doing prizes on the popsicle sticks? Oh, a while ago. But now I think, you know, you can't have prizes on popsicle sticks. Oh, my God. It's real bad.

Because of COVID, obviously, you've slummed all over it. Oh, yeah, so you couldn't hand it into the dairy for your prize. Oh, God. Let's not talk about them. Oh my God, grow up. But that's great. It's like paddle pops. You know, you get like a free paddle pop.

Yeah. Suck down the stick. It's like a Magnum stick smoother than a Popsicle stick. Yeah, Popsicle sticks are like the trash of popsicle sticks. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but anyway, they were printing messages on them. And one of them's like, take a selfie with a stranger.

And people are like, my kids were eating those. I don't want my kids taking selfies with strangers. Excuse me, sir. Hey, my popsicle stick said take a selfie with you. Is that okay? If we take it in the back of my car. Seems okay to me. Yeah, sure.

That's a nice backdrop. Problems. So I've got the top six other rejected popsicle stick suggestions. There has been video footage on social media of the Auckland police chasing a man in the CBD on a beam scooter. A beam?

Yeah, an electric scooter. This is just around the corner from your place, Fletch. You should be sitting a little road spikes. You're always on the beams as well. I always, yeah, I've got a monthly pass. Oh, must be nice. Must be nice. Must be nice.

Described as a solidly built man. Oh, ouch. Ouch. Ouch. What would be your, like, worst nightmare description of you anonymously in a paper? Like, as an offender. Yeah. Okay, so you've done something and they're looking for you.

Stocky, pale female. Heavy set, pasty male. Yeah, big boy. Oh, no. Yeah. But then they're a suspected criminal. Heavyset pasty mail Yeah, big boy Oh no Yeah But then they If they're a suspected criminal They don't have to use

Nice adjectives, do they? No, but I think They have toned them down Because if you remember Crime Watch back in the day Growing up They'd be quite ruthless Oh yes

With descriptions Yes, yes, yes Of people Big old tub-a-lubs Yeah Big fatty face here, man Fatty fatty boomsticks Wanted for crime in Christchurch.

Yeah. But they got him. But probably because he entered one of the 15-kilometer. Where they just go. You're driving an e-scooter and you're panning that. And then it goes. They cut the speed in half. Horrible.

Wait, so the runaway was on a beam and the cops were on a beam? No, the cops were on foot. Oh. I was like, that'd be funny. It'd be cool if they were on a lime and they had some override code so they could just pull up alongside them and be like, pull over, buddy. Even at their full, I mean, maybe when they're on their full noise, you probably wouldn't be able to run as fast. But when they're

at 15 kilometres an hour, even that is quite quick. When it's restricted, you could catch it. But it's when it's not restricted, I don't think you. When it's restricted, you could catch it. But it's when it's not restricted, I don't think you could catch it. No, you're going like 30. Yeah. And the police are in police shoes and long pants and heavy jackets. It's like a bloody F45 class.

Yeah, see with the vests. Yeah. The weighted vests and away they go, but yeah, they got them in the end. Not exactly, also not exactly the best way to do a getaway because you've got to put your credit card down. Yeah, or doot and unlock it with your phone. Oh, my God, yeah. Identity. So they can just literally find out who pushed somebody else off.

Oh, yeah, and stole their beam. What do you say when you're something someone's vehicle? Commandeer. I'm commandeering. I'm commandeering your beam. New Zealand Police, I'm commandeering this vehicle. Take off. off Oh damn it But if you're off the beam

And somebody jumps on it And takes off Can you lock it on your phone? Yeah you can stop it Oh really? That would have been fun That would have been fun See the police chasing him

He'd be like I got this boys Click Like yo Especially if it like Stops right in its tracks Just locks up that front wheel Ooh baby Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn And Hayley Like, especially if it stops right in its tracks. Just locks up that front wheel. Ooh, baby.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, ASB have done a study and they're launching, it seems, a similar thing. Do you remember we did that promo a few weeks ago? You're with this bank. ANZ. ANZ, the card tracker. I think they're launching something similar. They've found that one in five people don't know how many

subscription services they're joined up to. I didn't know until Aaron and I worked out a budget. And it was like, go through all of you know, like a few months worth and check out the subscriptions. Predominantly subscriptions, I reckon, is where my money

goes. Anything from like Netflix, Neon, I've got is where my money goes. Anything from, like, Netflix, Neon. I've got all of them. Literally all of them. And then to, like, storage subscriptions. Oh, yeah. I've got a couple of those bad boys. Yeah.

So one in five subscription holders are paying for services they don't use. And nearly a third spend more than $100 on rolling subscriptions each month. Yeah. I know because the other day I was like, am I still paying for Amazon Prime or video, whatever it's called? Yeah, Prime Video. Because I wanted to watch something and I wasn't. Yeah.

I had a friend who's been very busy recently, lives in the mountains, and he called me yesterday and he said, God, I wanted to watch something. And then I realised I'm on your Prime video account. I was like, dude, I gave that to you like two years ago. He's like, yeah, I use it all the time. I forget. I always share my password.

Leeches. Naughty. It's like if people want to watch just one series on something, I'm like, oh, just log on to my account. And then they just keep it locked in. They've been doing it for years. A little bit. A little bit. Didn't they say they just worked out a new,

was it Netflix or someone worked out a new way to absolutely put me into it? Yeah, but I don't think they've nailed it. They've been trialling it in like some South American Central American countries, but. I'm just looking at mine. Mine's bad. I've got Spotify. Well, I could be getting it for free on iHeartRadio. Yeah, no, exactly.

I'm a company man. I've got two different storage things, like two different online storage things. Yeah, same. I've got, what's that one? God only knows. I've got Amazon. I've got Netflix. I've got Disney.

I've got Neon. I've got YouTube Premium. Apple TV. Apple, yeah, yeah, I got that one. When's the last time you used Apple TV Apple Yeah Yeah I got that one Yeah When's the last time You used Apple TV Um

I watched something On the SMB recently Yeah but I always Forget about it I know see this is This is the thing I feel like you're better to Unsubscribe from all of them

And just go one at a time This is what my friends do Yeah like watch Everything you want to watch On Netflix Unsubscribe And then the next month Watch watch everything you can on Prime. My privilege is jumping between apps.

What about this Pirate Bay I'm hearing a lot about? Is that still a thing? What's the suffix these days? The what? Remember how it used to be PirateBay.org and there was PirateBay.se, PirateBay. I believe it's.org. I've just Googled it. It's.org.

.Switzerland. But look at this..Cayman Islands. I've just Googled it. It's.org..Switzerland. But look at this. .Cayman Islands. Then there's the other subscriptions. Like I've got a video editing subscription. How much do I pay for that? A video editing subscription? Yeah, splice.

For what? For like my TikTok career that hasn't taken off. Oh, well, cancel that because you're not a TikToker. I've paid an annual subscription. An annual subscription? Shouldn't a junior manager be paying for that? Yeah, well, Carwen's going paid an annual subscription. Shouldn't your manager be paying for that? Yeah, well, Carwin's going to be down. Wait, Carwin should be paying for that.

For an editing app on your phone. It's an absurd amount of money. I just don't know how much I'm going to pay for that. There's an iMovie app. Then I've got Word. I've got Microsoft. I've heard of them. Pay for that.

They do quite well for themselves. Right. NBA. And then I've got Chris Hemsworth's fitness app. I've never used it. It's $125 a year. You're paying Chris Hemsworth $125? Yeah, but he's had some bad news. He's 8-10 times more

prone to Alzheimer's than the average person. He's quitting Hollywood and spending time at home. But these are the ones that I forget about. It's like your app subscriptions that you might go, I'm going to use this. Look at the ones that are inactive that I've had before. Oh yeah, see, just unsubscribe from all of those.

It's a plant identifier. Where did you find that? You go into your, if you've got an Apple phone, you go into settings and you just go into your iCloud thing here and then subscriptions. Click on your name. Yeah. And you can cancel them from in there.

Yeah, cancel them from in there. I mean, that's the thing. So many people don't know what they've got. No. And what they're subscribed to. And, you know, with the way that things are financially at the moment. Do a spring clean.

Just do a spring clean. Yeah. Go through your accounts and just get rid of a few. Yeah. Because you're just used to paying for them. I'm funding

Chrissy's life and I've never used it once. I've got a personal trainer. Why am I paying that? This video editor, that's got to go. NBA though. Oof. Not getting rid, that's got to go. NBA though. Oof.

Not getting rid of that one. Miami Heat all the way. For you watching, watching the basketball. Are you wearing a new hat, by the way? I'm wearing my Memphis Grizzlies hat today. Oh, you're nice. This is a team that I will now be supporting primarily because this was the hat that I liked. It's a good hat.

Bucks is my main team. Stupid hats. Yeah. With the, it looks like the Jagermeister logo on it. And people often say, is that a Jagermeister hat? And I say, no, it's a Milwaukee Bucks hat. You look like trash. You look like club trash.

He just looks like someone that would wear a free promotional Jagermeister hat. Next on the show. Great news. I've got great news for those that have a urethra. That's everybody, right? That is everyone. Fantastic. I thought it was a trick question for a second.

Yeah, you had to think about your anatomy there. You guys ever had a UTI? No, I can't say I have. Really? I've got a bloody steel pipe for a ureth, mate. Pour a bit of hot water on it and away we go. Run a hot cycle. Yeah.

I don't think that's how urethras work, but okay. Yeah, it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shake it out. No, I've never had one. I will be, and I'm imagining completely wrong, I hear a lot more about them from the females than I know than the males. Because ours is all sort of in, you know, and it's near a lot of other stuff.

The bloody Petri dish up there, isn't it? It's the perfect conditions for a bacterial infection. Well, sometimes. It also likes to balance itself out. It's also very magical. No, it's absolutely self-cleaning. It's wonderful. So I've googled, it's a myth that only women get UTIs. 12% of men. Yeah, I know

a guy that got one and we were on a road trip once and he kept being like, you gotta stop, I gotta wee. And he said, yeah, I've got this U got one and we were on a road trip once and he kept being like, you got to stop, I got to wee. Oh, okay. And he said, yeah, I've got this UTI. It's so funny to hear from the male perspective. Like, I know a guy who had one once. With women, it's like,

had one last week. Like, they're so common. Oh, this was 2003 that this guy had one and that's the last known case of a man I know or man in my life that had a UTI. Well, it's wild. I used to get them all the time when I was a kid. I had them like fortnightly

and I always remember it was because of my kidney. Before I got my kidney, it was like that whole system wasn't working. So I was wetting the bed and all that kind of stuff.

And then I still remember the taste of the medicine, you know, like those medicines you had as a kid because I'd have it so often. It was like a thick, milky consistency,

kind of like a Gaviscon. Oh, I love the Gaviscon. A Gaviscon. A little G a thick milky consistency, kind of like a Gaviscon. Oh, I love the Gaviscon. We need a little Gaviscon. It wasn't a Gaviscon, it was orange flavoured. It was orange flavoured. And I can smell it now. I think I know the stuff you're talking about. Was there a pink version?

I remember a raspberry pink medicine growing up that was real yum. What was that? I don't know, I think it was just. What was that? I can taste it now. I don't know. I think it was just a generic flavoring they used for kids' medicines. Look, there's still an orange Pamela. But I haven't come across a raspberry Pamela. Yeah, this is gross.

Anyway, I'm good now. But we're very prone to them, ladies, no matter what we do. I mean, there's got to be a downside to being a lady. Everything else is bloody sunny side up. Oh, my God. Breeze. I mean there's got to be a downside to being a lady everything else is bloody sunny side up Oh my god, breeze Life is really skewed in your face You're not looking forward to menopause

I cannot wait to sort of want to kill everyone and sweat through my sheets And then be freezing cold and then just be crying After bleeding every month for my entire life, I can't wait to then go through hell until I die.

We're going to wrap it up with a big hormonal imbalance for the last 15. Maybe at some point for nine months I'll have a human growing inside me to ruin me top to bottom. It's so much fun. Anyways, there's going to be not only like because the only medication for UTIs is like afterwards.

Cranberry juice. Retrospectively. Where's the cranny, granny? Like, oh, my God, I drank so much of that as a kid as well. But there's now a medication that you could take if you're prone to them, like I was, and it edits your actual genetics. Oh, wow.

The antibiotics are not going to like this. No, they're not, are they? So suffer through stingy wheeze rather than taking the meds. So it gets applied. This gene editing medication is put directly into your bladder by a catheter. Have you ever had a catheter? No. I've had one when I had my kidney operation.

I remember waking up and being like, what the hell is this? And then you don't even feel like you're weeing and there's a bag getting? No. I've had one when I had my kidney operation. I remember waking up and being like, what the hell is this? And then you don't even feel like you're weeing and there's a bag getting filled up. So what is it? Does it go all the way up into the bladder?

The catheter? I don't know. It just goes into your urethra. Right. In the little tube. I know. It's tight.

It's tight. Oh no. That's why you wake up and they're already in because I imagine putting them in. Yeah. That's the only time I've had it when in because I imagine putting them in. Yeah. That's the only time I've had it when I was a kid.

Okay. I don't know if as an adult. Somebody I know was in an accident. I can't remember who it was. And they got one when they were under and they woke up and they panicked and they pulled it out. When they came out of the thing. Leave it in.

Leave it in. Oh no, then you'd have to go again. Oh my God. Put me back under, don't. Oh, that's awful. Anyway, so it attacks the DNA inside the bacteria that causes the problems, ultimately destroying them for good. Oh, so it alters the gene of the bacteria, not your particular.

Yes, but once you've done it, you can't get them again. So it could literally, like if you had it, rather than antibiotics, which, ladies, am I right? Because that opens a new world of problems. What does that do? Carwen's nodding her head. Well, when you mess with your internal bacteria, you mess with the good stuff too.

So then you probably get thrush. So you've got UTI. Jesus. And then you take antibiotics. A lot of the time you'll get thrush. It's so much fun. Wow. And you're working for free until the end of the year too.

Oh, yeah? Oh, my God. I'm loving this. Yeah. But at least Iran's coming around. Yeah, that's good. Aren't they? Aren't they?

Iran's been great for women as well. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I thought. Oh, we're just getting celebrities were talking about it I assumed that they would have listened to them

yeah yeah and that it's fixed well surely women in America are doing alright it's the land of the free it's the home of the free they've just lost autonomy over their own

bodies haven't they oh my god oh my god I wish I had some better news oh well I do UTIs are gone so then hopefully

you don't have to take antibiotics and then you don't have to deal with thrush and go in and you say can I had some better news. Oh, well, I do. UTIs are gone. So then hopefully you don't have to take antibiotics and then you don't have to deal with thrush and go in and you say, can I get some thrush medication? They say, oral or vaginal? And you say, don't make me say it. Why am I whispering? You figure it out.

What are you putting in the wrong hole if you're going oral? No, you can get oral thrush. Oh, you can get oral thrush. You can get thrush in your mouth or thrush in your face. I was going to say, wouldn't you go straight to the vagina if that was where the issue was? No, no, no, direct to get oral thrush. You can get thrush in your mouth or thrush in your face. I was going to say, wouldn't you go straight to the vagina if that was where the issue was?

No, no, no, direct to the source. Right. Well, yeah, if they say oral or vaginal, wouldn't you just be like, ah, obviously not there. I'm always just like, why am I whispering? This is a medical profession. I'll tell you what, it's not oral. Is it because the last time you said vaginal out loud,

the pharmacist was like, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee? When it's vaginal out loud, the pharmacist was like... Yeah. When it's also because you go to the pharmacy in the supermarket. Yeah. And that's less... Yeah. I just try to make it obvious by the way that I walk in there in my shorts. Big waddle. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM.

From the yummy ZM think tank, this is the top six. I've got to warn you, I can hardly talk about popsicle sticks without feeling like I'm going to be sick. Why? I can taste them too. Yeah, I can just imagine them rubbing in my mouth. Get it out. Well, they're under tip top.

Dude. This is bad. Tip Top's marketing this summer across, by the way, I thought this was just Popsicle sticks. It's across their entire range. It's across Memphis, Mountdown, Popsicle, Fruji, Rocky Road, Jelly Tip, Choc Bar, all of the Tip Top branded stick products. Yum.

Oh, no. They had challenge sticks, and it was, you know, break your routine and be outside and get off the screens and do something a little bit different. Now, there's 32 different sticks. Yeah. The one that's drawn the most sort of like bad attention was take a selfie with a stranger.

What's the best that could happen? And a New Plymouth mother of four, all her kids are aged seven and under. She's the one that's got a real bee in her bonnet about it. Her seven-year-old got one. And she's like, these shouldn't be on ice blocks that kids could be eating.

No. Because it goes against everything we've taught them. Yeah. About stranger danger. Also, COVID. Yeah. That's popping off at the moment, isn't it? Yeah, and that stranger might have it. Here's another one of the ones. This is an actual one. Start a flattering rumour.

Start a flattering rumour. How did these get past, I don't know, like a team of people? What's a flattering rumour? I hear Fletch has got a massive wang. Oh, wow. That sort of thing. I hear Vaughch has got a massive wang. Oh, wow. That sort of thing. I hear Vaughn's a really great dad. Don't say that.

I don't know how to do it. It's strange to think rumours are... Rumours by nature are bad, right? And to be, you know, whispered. But anyway, I've got the top six. Wait, what are they pulling them? be, you know, whispered. Yeah. But anyway, I've got the top six. Wait, what are they pulling them? Oh, they said no more will be produced.

But of course, they're all inside packets. So it'd be impossible for them to go through and open every one and be like, in the bin. Yeah. In the bin. But they said going forth, like, because production of these things is just continual. Yeah. They won't be doing any more of these ones.

Keep an eye on your kids. Tell them don't get in a van with a strange man with a camera. Yeah. So I've got the top six vetoed popsicle stick suggestions. So these were ones

that were on it but didn't get printed on the sticks from the planning stage. Number six on the list of the top six vetoed popsicle stick suggestions are why don't we sharpen

the stick and stab an animal? Yeah. Shank a rabbit. Yeah. Just like finish your ice block. Yeah, that was yum. And then you look across and your kid's just rubbing it on the concrete to sharpen it up. What are you doing there?

My popsicle stick said we should sharpen the stick and stab an animal. Does it? Don't do that. What animal? Seagull. Eh, knock yourself out. Yeah. Pests. Pigeons. Knock yourself out. Yeah. Pests.

Pigeons. Fun. Number five on the list of the top six vetoed Popsicle stick suggestions is when you finish your Popsicle, the stick would say the Popsicle band died when they melted in the sun. Remember the Popsicle stick? Yeah. The Popsicle band? Yeah.

R.I.P. That's why you don't see them anymore. They melted in the sun. And they're just letting everybody know on that popsicle stick. Number four on the list of the top six vetoed popsicle stick suggestions. This one didn't make it. When you finish your ice block, you'd read, your parents are lying.

They don't always love you. Yeah. And when you've been really naughty, you just have a little click of hate. I hate you. Wish I'd never had you. Yeah. I hate you. Wish I'd never had you. Yeah. I regret the day.

Number three on the list are the top six vetoed popsicle stick suggestions. Finish your popsicle and see the suggestion. We should use this stick and another stick to start a fire and light a bin on fire. Start a bin fire. Start a bin fire. You can see why that one didn't make it. It didn't make it, yeah. You can't have kids starting bin fires willy-nilly. It was fun, though. Yeah. A fire in Start a bin fire. You can see why that one didn't make it. It didn't make it, yeah. You can't have kids starting bin fires willy-nilly.

It was fun, though. Yeah. A fire in the bin. Yeah. Not if it's a plastic bin. God, remember those plastic orange rubbish bins? They'd always go up in flames. Yeah.

Jesus. This is why there should be no public bin that's not hard steel. Yeah. If you are after a hard steel bin, you know the ones that are like in the ground at parks, green with the hole in the top. The frame on the top, yeah. There's a whole lot of them at the West Auckland dump. Is there?

Yeah, because I stop in. I've kind of made it a Tuesday tradition. I stop in at the dump on the way home to see if there's anything. God, you're weird. You're so weird. You just really don't want to be home, do you? It's always, I don't know if Tuesday's the best day. There might be a better day to go.

I need to get when the fresh load of stuff comes in. But yeah, a couple of Tuesdays ago, all these bins appeared. I'm like, what's going to happen to those? Why don't you take one home? You could have a bin. Where am I going to put it? Or when we come over for a party, there'll be a bin there. Even then I'm going to have an unsightly outdoor bin.

Do you know what would be a funny bin to have in your kitchen? Is those green dogs whose head you lift up and put the poop in. The dog shit in, yeah. Wouldn't that be really cool? Oh my God. I'm going to Google.

Have a dog poop bin. That would be a fun, just like a compost bin. Yeah. Have it in the, because open the bottom up, put it in the garden and put your scraps in

and the worms will come up through the bottom. You've got a fun looking little compost bin there. Yeah, I'm really having real... I'm having trouble finding them. I remember reading a thing overseas. People saw them and were just, like, blown away by them.

They're so funny. Yeah. That's him. $400 New Zealand dollars. I'll pay it. If I find one at the concourse... Yeah, get me one. Yeah, if I find one at the zero-waste shop.

That's funny. I'll get you one. Number two on the list are the top six vetoed Popsicle stick suggestions. Number two was, did this ice block taste a little bit like wheeze to you? Oh. Just got to keep people on their toes. Got to keep people on their toes. Retrospectively, though.

Yeah, but actually there was a tan. A tan. Now, do you want the pole with the dispenser for the plastic bags as well? Because that's $2,200. No, I'll go without the poop dispenser. Just the dog bin's $400. You're telling me that the dispenser on a stick is $1,800 then? The dog bin bag dispenser's $500.

The dog bin bags, the plastic bags, are $700 for a big roll. How many? God, $700. How many are on there? And the pole itself is $33. So the steel pole is actually the cheapest of all of them. I don't buy it in parts. It's cheaper than buying it as a combo.

That's anti-combo. Combos are always supposed to be cheaper. Right. Well, you can get the dog bin for your kitchen. It's $403, excluding just. Send me the link. It's funny. It's a good gag.

It's not a $400 gag when you're running a tight budget, though. I'm renovating my kitchen and I'm going to ruin it. Is it the same green as your kitchen cabinets? It's a different green. Not quite, but it fits the colour scheme. You could paint it the same colour. It fits the palette. And number one on the list of the top six vetoed Popsicle stick suggestions.

If you're reading this, then Satan already has your soul. Oh, no. I know, but that was the deal you made. You didn't read the fine print on the outside of the wrapper. You just opened it and tucked it in. Always read the fine print. Always read the wrapper. That is today's top six.

Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. If you like a drink and you don't like mixing them, I mean, it's part of the entire journey. It really is. You know, you put your ice in and then you put your bourbon and then you put your Coke. I mean, what a journey.

What a beautiful journey. What an artistic journey. You do bourbon and Coke? Nah. I do rum. You do rum and Coke? No, you're shaking your head too No I used to

I don't mind a rum and coke I don't mind a rum and coke Oh I'm not being judgmental For like two years I only drank bourbon in a can When I was like 19 Diesel? No no Woodstock

Woodstock Or Cody's 12% Wow Haven't you changed? No, I like a spagliato. McBrandy's. Well, a guy has invented using Alexa a cocktail making side table.

Oh, okay. So I also didn't know this thing is called a black, you remember the, you don't know the name Black & Decker. Yeah. Black & Decker invented a thing called the Bev, which it would say plug in a Jim Beam here and this, that, and there, and there, and there, and there, and then you push the button and it'll pre-mix it for you,

like a coffee machine. It sucks a bit out of each and puts it into your glass. Okay. So that's a cute little cocktail machine. Right. So you just load up whatever spirits and mixes you want in this machine. Yeah. Okay.

But this guy has gone a step further because I hear a lot about these Raspberry Pi. It's like a mini computer. It's not actually a Raspberry Pi. Oh, I got really excited for a second there. Because you love raspberries and you love pies So no this guy's got a raspberry pie And he has Coded it

The girls came home from school the other day and said Oh we've learnt a bit of coding I was like yes I hear so much about the coding Stick to the coding Learn the coding The coding is the future And this guy's turned coding into A side table that can make a drink. Wow.

He puts his glass in there, which has got a storage part in the cupboard. So he literally just puts his glass on this little top bit, and he says, Alexa, will you make me a drink? And then it takes the glass down into this hidden area. Oh, yes. Ice goes in, and then it'll say, what drink do you want? And he'll say, one of his pre-programmed ones, and he's done the coding.

He's done the coding. And it'll put the measurements in. Yeah. And then, you know, if it needed mixing, it'll mix it and then pop it back up, and he's got a drink then and there so he can have it in his lounge. Look at your face. You need one of these.

Oh, one of these. Next to the bed as well. Yeah, his side table is like in the lounge where you sit and have a side table. But yeah, when I read it, I was like, beside the bed is dangerous. There is nothing more luxurious than lying in bed and having a cocktail. I've been half propped up. Yeah. Watching a little telly or something. Yeah, you feel bougie.

Because you've been getting the girls to make the spagliatos. Yes. Just get them coding. Are you wondering if there's little children inside the side table? No, I'm just saying. Get them coding. Get them coding. The raspberry pie.

Yeah. Yeah. Get them coding for your future. Well, yeah, because every time you teach them a new drink, they have to make about half a dozen of them to memorise it and I'm like let's just do this Dad will take care of the getting rid of them They can make spagliatos

Negroni spagliatos What else can they make? Oh I mean like simple stuff. G&T Yeah gin and tonics Yeah like rum and cokes. What about a dirty martini? Not yet. Have you got them on the espresso martinis? Not yet.

Because I've got to make the espresso first. The homemade. Yeah, that would be the key. The homemade espresso martinis. Well, if you could just get them on those before our end of year dinner. Yeah. That'd be fantastic. Yeah, absolutely.

I'll get them in little tuxedos. Yes, please. Behind them. And can you ask them not to look us in the eyes? Yeah, no, no, absolutely, ma'am. Is this illegal to have kids making cocktails? No, it's illegal for kids. We're not paying them.

I don't want to pay them. No. Yeah, but is it illegal? It's work experience. It's just a hobby. It's valuable, valuable work experience. Radio's been getting away with that forever. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

What are you laughing at? It's really, I'm laughing away with that forever. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. What are you laughing at? I'm laughing at you. Vaughn is trying to organise a trip to Wellington for the lads. It's a stag do. We're going to a stag do. And he's asking how to book things. This is why I didn't want to tell you because I told Sade at the weekend about how we haven't really got anything organised

and it's in the middle of nowhere and we don't know like food or anything what we're doing and like. And now now Bourne's like. And Sade was like oh no no don't help me anymore I'm getting too stressed I'm getting too stressed I'm getting too stressed because it's all so like fly by the seat of our pants. Lads. Lads lads lads. Oh my god. I watched a thing about how men

are wired different to women because if they haven't done something they just assume it's going to work out right and that's privilege 101, right? Yeah. But Shale was like, you've got to stop telling me about the lack of plans. But then she kept asking. She's like, what about this?

I was like, I don't know. And so I'm now... Oh my God, yeah, that stresses me out. I'm taking it upon myself because there's three of us that need to be taken care of. Three men. One's worse than me and the other's in England. So I'm going to be like, I be taken care of. Three men. One's worse than me and the other's in England. So I'm going to

be like, I'll take care of this. And I said to Fletch, how do you hire a car? And how do I book a hotel? And then Vaughn's like, there's three of us. We only need two beds. We'll have the big beds. We'll push the beds all together and we'll just have one big bed. Yeah, but one of you's going to be in the

crack. It's alright. Callum you is going to be in the crack. It's all right. Callum. Callum will be in the crack. Callum's the crack guy. He'll be in the crack. He'll be too drunk. He won't care.

Orban and I will be on either side. We'll push the beds together as hard as we can. I'm going to have to help out with some organisation here. Can you please flip Stephen? I can't. And we want a cool rental car. No. Because we're lads. Why?

We're not driving a Vitz if we're with. No offence, Jared. It's embarrassing We're not driving a Hyundai i30 A Tida We'll get you a Tida No Okay well we'll sort that out Right now though time for

Fact of the day Day day day, day. Ah, just get out of here. Do you mean the phantom of the rectum? Phantom of the rectum is here. Inside your butt. Inside your butt. No, phantom of the rectum are very serious. Is it the latest Star Wars?

Is it like we... The phantom rectum. That I like. That's good. That's good. Is it like when you think you've got a text or a notification and your leg tingles, but your phone's not in your pocket and you're like, uh-oh. No.

Like, you know, Phantom, what do they call that? Phantom bone. The easiest way to say it is you hear about people who have amputations and they still have, like if they have their arm amputated. They feel like they've still got their arm there and they've got to like scratch their face with it. They're like, oh, that's right, I don't have an arm here. Get away, sandflies.

And they're like, oh, that's right, I don't have a leg. It's gone. Yeah, exactly. Why are you swatting away sandflies with your leg? Because it's phantom. No, they're on the leg, they're phantom. Swatting, you know know Swatting it away Oh no

No no Like how a dog Scratches its face With its back leg You were swatting away Phantom rectum is It's like we're laughing But it's a very serious thing

If you have Rectal cancer Or colon cancer Of the area And you have it removed And you get put on the old The bag On the old bag

Well this took a turn For the serious, didn't it? Colostomy bag. I know we made all these jokes. You can still feel like you've got a rectum. Okay, great. But I'm not constantly consciously aware of my rectum. Okay. I'm going to send some thought to it.

When you need to poo, you feel it's doing God's work back there, holding back the dam. You can still feel, you can still get that as a phantom pain. Yeah. What are you? Jared has changed her name in the group chat to Phantom of the Wrecked. I will be talking to HR immediately after the show. Who's the phantom?

Phantom of the Wrecked is here. Inside your butt. There's noises in my butt. It's nothing. It's the phantom of the rectum. No, so phantom, you experience, you can have the feelings like that. Oh, I need to poo. Oh, okay.

But you've had it removed. It's gone. If you've had your rectum removed, serious question. I might not know the answer, but. But you've had it removed. It's gone. If you've had your rectum removed, serious question. I might not know the answer, but... Do you... I'll give it a nudge. What, the rectum? The rectum is here.

No, the answer. Answering the question. Shall we just go to the ants? Carry on. My question is, how do you release gas? Oh my god Oh that's a good question Why does it bubble into the bag? I don't know

Yeah it would go into the bag I think it would go into the bag But But then you wouldn't want the bag filling up See we gave it a go answering that question We gave it an absolute good nudge Yeah If you would like to learn more

You can go to inflamedanduntamed.org, which is like a kind of lighthearted way of looking at a very serious issue. Right. Bowel cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, all of those things. Very, very, very, very serious. This woman's been through it and she's written about it. She uses the line, I am the ghost of wrecked and passed. We've had a good laugh, haven't we?

We've had a good laugh. I just googled, can you still pass wind if you have a stoma, which is like the bag, you know. No. Not in the same way as before. Some messages in. Okay, our kind listeners

with, what are the bags called? Colostomy. It leaks slowly The same way as before. So where does it go? The message is in. Okay. From our kind listeners with Colin. What are the bags called? Colostomy. It leaks slowly through the bag. I've had a bag. Gas goes into the bag, makes the bag big and puffy, and bag farts is what happens. Imagine pulling a little valve.

You'd save up all your gas. Then when you got somewhere. Boop someone. You're out the back of the shop and you're like, oh, finally. Yes. Let it all out. And then someone walks in, they're like, oh, finally. Yes. Let it all out. And then someone walks in, they're like, oh, bad timing.

Yeah. Or save it up and you could corrupt us, the whole office. Yeah. Bag farts. Wow. A stoma bag has a filter to release the air. That's what somebody else said. And the gas will slowly blow the bag up.

Someone is saying there's a difference between a stoma and a closety bag. I was just Googling that. I don't know the difference. I was just googling that. I don't know the difference. I was just googling that. Are they the same? They're not. Somebody said I'm a bowel cancer survivor. And yes, it's weird. You still get the urge to poop.

Luckily for me, it was just a temporary thing. It doesn't happen anymore. But yeah, totally phantom rectum. Phantom of the rectum. Okay, wow. Alright, well we've learnt a lot with today's fact of the Day. We sure have. And we've had some fun learning, and that's the best way to learn. Fact of the Day, Day, Day, Day, Day.

Yeah. Just that name again for Hayley's dad? Want to know? Lewis Capaldi. Forget me. Forget me. He's got a message from my parents. Dad's asking, what's the name of this song? Which means it's tickled him.

It's going straight on one of the playlists. Okay, great. Well, he doesn't listen to the radio enough. He would have heard that one already. Yeah. Well, it's early for him now. He's retired. Speaking of dads. Good segue. Every day's an education with you two. Hey, speaking of dads,

Kim Jong-un is a dad and I just learnt that today I never really considered North Korea's dictator a father Just because he looks like a man baby He looks a little bit like a man baby Imagine him Like birthing a baby Changing a diaper

Singing to it Wouldn't happen I don't get to have people for that Yeah Well he took his daughter to work For the day His nine year old daughter To see some missiles.

Sorry? A missile launch, but also to see, you know, North Korea's latest missiles. Okay, right. Yeah. Did she get to press the button to launch it? I don't know if she got to press the button to launch it. Oh, but he took her handheld, a few photo opportunities there,

walking out by the missiles You know in front of the missile At the missile launch Kiosk I like to call that a kiosk Yeah It's not really a shed It's like a viewing kiosk

Yeah To launch the things And yeah he took us To take your daughter to work day Huh And the photos rung true Of those days Where it was teachers only day

And your parents had no choice But to take you somewhere because they couldn't leave you unattended because you were too young by law. Yeah. What is the law? Is it 14? I think it's 14. Yeah.

To leave your kids unattended. We hung out a lot at mum's work as kids after school. Yeah. Wait for the ride home. Yeah, you just get a couple of bucks and go next door to the fish and chip shop and get a half scoop. That's what we used to do. Which is, it'll ruin your dinner.

No, we were never given food. No, that'll ruin your dinner. Yeah. No way. You wouldn't be in the mood for dinner for a half a scoop. We got chips. Spoiler. $8,000 piano and a scoop of chips.

That's unbelievable. Really hearing how the other half lives this morning. Oh, it was delightful. It was so good. Are we experiencing that? I used to go with my mum to open homes. She was a real estate agent in the 90s. Open homes.

And she used to go around with like the mallet and put up the signs. Oh, yeah, hammer them into somebody else's berm. Hammer them into the berm. Did she have a big picture on her signs of her face? Yeah. Patsy? Oh, my God, I have to show you because I've got one of her real estate photos. Patsy's going to be absolutely, it's saved in my favourites.

That's how bloody good it is. What year are we talking here? I'd say 1997. Great year. Great year for mum fashion. Yeah. The 90s were big for mum fashion. Shoulder pads in 97?

No, no. A little after the shoulder pads. More the bowl cut. Yeah. If you've got a mum now and you're like young and your mum's like quite hip and stuff, mums were never like that back in the day. No, they weren't.

Mums, as soon as they become mums, had to cut their long hair short. They had to, you know, get a cardigan. They didn't wear Lululemon. Oh, my God, no. No, they're not wearing a nanny pananny bing. They wouldn't have been. Oh, my God, I can't find this photo. I will show you.

Mums aren't mums anymore. No, they're not. New mums aren't mums no more. My mum was straight mum. Yeah, my mum had big mum energy. My mum looked older as a 26-year-old mum than she does now as a 64-year-old grandmother. Oh my God, it's even got the model grey background.

Patsy Sproul, Castle Real Estate. Wow, that's amazing. Oh, I think this might have been LJ Hooker days, actually. Isn't that great? She's got the perfect little bowl cut. That is brilliant. That was wonderful. And so you'd have to go along and help her put the signs up.

Put the signs up. I remember being in the car once, having a strop. I didn't want to be in there. Putting up the signs. I wanted to go home. And she came back in because she used to have to get the staple gun to put it to the wood and she came in and she was like

and just started driving with her hand under her armpit. It was absolutely gushing blood. She'd stapled right through her finger. Oh my God. You know, an open home waits for no injury. Did she ever pay you to walk around the house and be like, man, I am a kid and I love this place. Yeah.

I would love, oh mummy, can we live here? Please mummy, man, I am a kid and I love this place. Yeah. I would love, oh, mummy, can we live here? Please, mummy, please. Can we buy it? What a beautiful home for children. Look at this indoor-outdoor flow. No, but she did pay us

to like fold up the flyers. It used to be like you print an A4 piece of paper, right, and fold it into three and deliver them to houses. Oh, yeah. And then once she paid my brother to be the hooker bear.

Remember the hooker bear? For LJ Hooker? Not the hooker bear. Remember the hooker bear for LJ Hooker? Not the hooker bear I was thinking of. No, it was a different hooker. It was a young man. And he had to wear like a full bear suit at the Petonia Carnival. Oh, wow. Okay.

Jeez, no. Mascots always get punched. Yeah, he did probably. There's a punch in the costume. I've got a sneeze coming. Pineapple. We're in the middle of a show. Just so much better.

I'm jealous now. God, I love a sneeze. That was a really good one. That was a good clear. That cleared it all out. Has everybody got involved? Could be. Could be.

That's the world we live in. Very much could be. But we want to know where you got dragged along to with your parents. Maybe you sat endlessly. The time I burnt my finger outside a Weight Watchers meeting. That's right. On a cigarette lighter. Don't touch that. It'll be hot. They never looked hot, did they? No, because they came

out red, but they quickly lost their colour. I must be cold now. I've still got the scar on the end of my finger. That was when Dad was doing something, so Mum was like, well, I can't leave you kids at home. You're going to come to the Weight Watchers meeting. Or maybe you got taken to your dad's nuclear missile test launch. Or like me, my mum used to take me to the pump classes.

Oh, at Les Mills. She used to go to Les Mills and there was a pump class and I used to stand behind there, do deadlifts, and they had G-string leotards. That's how long ago it was. You couldn't do that now. Well, I'm always asking Sade to take me to her pump classes. Yeah, I know.

And leave me in the back. Leave me in the back. So you could sit at the back and watch the show and do it. I can't believe that. Fair enough. I can't be left at home unattended. Absolute best. All right, 0800 DALS at Emma's number.

We want you to give us a call now. Text as well, 9696. Where did your parents drag you along to? We're talking about when you got taken along, maybe it was to mum and dad's work maybe a hobby because they had no other choice, they couldn't just leave you at home alone. My mum has just shared with me she said, do you remember the hangover lookout?

And I said no, when she used to take me to these open homes. She said on a Sunday I would go to the open home, bring you with me so I could sleep sitting up with a hangover and you would wake me up and tell me if anyone was coming down the drive. So I'd be on the lookout. So my mum would be like, oh.

And then be like, hi, welcome. Beautiful three-bedroom house, perfect for a young family like yours. Just get your name and number here. Was she smelling like Chardonnay? Yeah, probably. A buttery chard. She's like, and then here's the kitchen. Taylor, whereabouts were you taken as a kid?

My mum worked at Tip Top Ice Cream. She still does. So we got to go there after school and during holidays and get free ice cream. Oh, my God. Were you the coolest kid at school? Pretty much, yeah. I'd say so.

Wow. Did you ever get sick of getting free ice cream, though? Oh, no. Not as a kid. You could take all you could get. Yeah. Oh, my God. This is so cool.

So you just go in and just hoon it. Was there an area? Because what did Mum do? She didn't work in the factory. You weren't sitting on the factory floor or anything on the factory. No. No, she worked in engineering, and they would just have, like, the sort of freezers that they have at Derry

just all around the site with the ice cream. You just take it. Rad, because we got to go and make a flavour a few years ago at the Tick Tock Factory. What did you make? What flavour? Pavlova. Pavlova. Hokey Pokey white chocolate something.

It was like white chocolate. No, no, no. It was a jelly tip and it was white chocolate covered with a kiwi fruit jelly thing and Hokey Pokey is the ice cream. It was amazing. It was yum. But we got to go into the food tech department and it was, it was like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Oh yeah, the lab, yeah.

Yeah, they're like, oh, if you want it to taste like that, put two drops of that in. I was like, okay. I'm so jealous, Taylor. Yeah, it's a happy place. Yeah, oh, so excited. Taylor, thank you for you calling some messages in. Ah, lots of, lots of people being taken places. My parents worked

picking asparagus and me and my sisters would just have to sit in the Hawke's Bay heat. And due to, you know, the trauma of it, I couldn't eat asparagus for 20 years. Wow. Okay. At least your wee's wouldn't smell. Yeah. Your big, bright, fluoro wee wee's. It's so bright.

It's so bright. Mine doesn't smell. But then apparently everybody smells, but not everybody can smell it. Is that true? Oh, I don't know. Mine smells of, like, asparagus. Yeah. And it's very quick, isn't it?

Oh, my God. Like, so quick. Like, you can have them for breakfast and go wheeze, like, 10 minutes later, and you're like, how is this happening so quick? So quick. So quick. Anonymous has called up. Where did your parents drag you to as a kid, Anonymous?

Kia ora. My mum is a rural GP, so often when we were driving home after sports practices, she'd get the occasional call out, and we would have to turn up to car accidents or other health emergencies.

Jesus! She's like, now you kids wait here. Barry's had a heart attack. He's keeled over the table. Mum's just going to go sort him out. Yeah. Occasionally, we would have to, like, you know, go and talk to the children or, you know, help out as growing up. But, you know.

Oh, my gosh. Did you see some pretty gnarly stuff? If it was pretty bad, mum would always assess the situation before we were brought in to help from there. No woodshed for accidents. Yeah, the best one is... No, we didn't have any of those, but the best one was when there was a car accident once

and my little brother was going through a phase of sticking plasters and there wasn't enough ambulances, so my mum had to take one of the patients in our car and he had a broken nose. And so my brother offered him a Batman sticker for his plaster for his broken nose. Good. When you're a kid,

these two might not know it and might not remember it, but like my kids, when they were plasters, they'd be like, I've hurt myself, I need a plaster. You're like, show me the cut. They'd be like, no, it's inside, I just need a plaster. They were obsessed with plaster. But do you know why? Big plaster industry has done this because they've made minions.

And if they're plain plasters and there are no cartoon plasters, this wouldn't happen. Yeah. Remember when it was cut your own a long length of boring material stuff? The adhesive on that, it wouldn't come off. Anonymous, thank you. Chris, where were you dragged to as a kid? My dad was a supply officer at an iron ore plant and they used to have to throw the supplies out to

the ships that were like 2km offshore, so we'd get helicopter rides. Oh man, that's so cool. Yeah, it was really sucky. We actually wanted, heaps of friends wanted to come with us, but it just never happened.

Oh, wow. But you got to go in a helicopter all the time. I've never been in a helicopter. Yeah, it was awesome. So, yeah, very privileged. Yeah. Wow. Hashtag blessed.

Yeah. You know what I mean? Hashtag blessed, baby. Yeah, very much so. Chris, thanks for your call. Some more messages in. I always get taken out on the farm my job at the age of four

was to steer the truck while dad was on the back feeding out the hay we used to do this with my grandad and we just used to think it was the thing and every now and then

an arm would come in the window and he'd just grab the steering wheel and point you in a different direction so you didn't go down a hill jeez and like we wouldn't have been much older than four

when we were doing that but when I had to go to school and I wasn't there to help on the farm every morning, I thought the farm was just going to absolutely fall into ruin. But it didn't. Dad's still farming. Yeah, he's still farming. A great story. Great text.

Then Dad was a debt collector. I lost count of how many times we'd be on our way to school and suddenly we'd be on an exciting car chase after Dad spotted the number plate of a car he'd been hunting down to repossess. We were late for school so many times. Just because Dan had to do a quick repo. Quick repo. Wow. Jeez.

I got dragged to an old person's home to do the pill rounds with Mum after school until Dad finished work. I was trusted to allocate the pills. Wow. Yikes. Hang on. If you've got your loved one in there. One for Ethel, one in there. Jeepers.

One for Ethel, one for me. Yeah. Woo! So mum said this was also Matt's homework. So Ethel gets twice the amount of pills as Barry, but Barry's amount of pills is half that of Steve's. How many pills does Steve have? Four.

One of them had four. Just give them all four, I reckon. Well, we've had Sim Corrin, haven't we? We have from the Girls That Invest podcast. She wrote a book. I read it. Aaron's read it. It's so good.

She's all about accessible investing. So going like you don't have to be rich or male to get into investments. It makes things easy to understand. Honestly, the book is so amazing. It's genuinely free play. How's your shares looking after reading the book? Indeed. Actually, it's been bouncing the last couple of weeks.

Well, a post, and I saw this article on the Daily Mail, a post, an Instagram story she put up on Friday has gone viral. It's a website called whatsthesalary.com. Now, if you're searching for a job, one of the frustrating things is they don't always list the salary, like what you're going to earn. No, they very seldom do. Because they want the power to negotiate with you.

Exactly. And then have you ever like had that where they're like, oh, what do you expect to get paid for this job? I hate that. How much money do you have? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. You tell me.

What do you say to that, you know? Like, do you go too high? Like, $200,000. And they're like, well, actually, it was more like $60,000. Yeah. Right, well, meet in the middle. $180,000. And then come down and, yeah, get like $60,000. And they're like, well, actually, it was more like 60. Yeah. Right, we'll meet in the middle. 180. And then come down and, yeah, get like 60.

So awkward. I know. It is awkward. So apparently when a lot of job listings go online, they actually at the back end have to put in like an expectation or a range. And by pasting the job listing URL into whatstosalary.com, it will then reveal the salary range. I'm just practicing this.

I'm on seek and I found a job here for an architectural designer. Oh, okay, okay. Now, I will say this, the whatstosalary.com, there's a little bit at the bottom. The service was built by Tony Liu. I'm on Tony's LinkedIn page right now. He's an impressive man. You can make a donation because I think it's been made with love.

Yeah, and the more popular it gets, the more bandwidth it uses. Oh, yeah, like Ancestry.com. The more people that use it, the stronger it gets. So I just put in this link, right? Well, no, I think the point was the more people that use it, the more expensive it costs. Oh, beg your pardon. Because it's just set up as a free service. That's not as good.

The role of architectural designer is paying around 80 to 1,000. Sorry, 80 to 100,000. It didn't say that in the listing. No. But you pasted it into what's the salary. Yeah. What role was that? An architectural designer for a building company.

They're going to design the buildings. Or is it? Yeah, I don't know. They're just doing the drawing. It's just drawing, is it? Just drawing. Just doing some doodles on a board. Some scrolls.

A couple of ideas. Like it's basically what you do in primary school. House, chimneys, smoke. Yeah, it's the draftsman and the engineers. The tree pathway. All the calculations. The seagullsman. Smoke. Yeah, it's a draftsman and the engineers that do all the hardware. Tree pathway. All the calculations. The seagulls. But yeah, isn't that amazing?

Very cool. See the website, whatsthesellery.com. See, make sure I'm getting all right. Radio presenter. What? Shocking hours. Jeez, yeah. Let's have a look.

Affecting mental health. It just sent me to a Wikipedia page for shock jock. Which I've been thinking about getting into. You've been thinking about a shock jock? Do you want to try something? A shock jock is a radio broadcaster or disc jockey who entertains listeners and attracts attention using humour

and melodramatic exaggeration that may shock listeners. Yeah. Do you want to try a bit of that? I don't reckon you need to. I don't. Just maybe not.

Women are all. Hey, see, this is what happens. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. We know about pheromones, right? Yes. It's your natural stink that you can't generally smell on a day-to-day basis. But it can attract people to you. The opposite sex or the same sex?

Yeah, or anybody. Anyone. Anyone. But it can, you can't buy it in a can. You know what I mean? You can't spray on Link's pheromones. I mean, if you could, it would be a hot seller. Oh, my God, yeah.

You're like a magnet. Well, that's what, isn't it? What is your horniest smell? Like, what is something you smell and you're like, oh, my gosh. Because mine's really weird. Am I allowed to say KFC vents? You know when the vents at KFC, you go past, you're like. If someone says, if someone says KFC vents, you're like.

Hey, what's yours? David Off Cool Water and menthol cigarettes. What? Dude, I was going to say like tobacco and leather. I don't like cigarettes for themselves. I'm like gross. And menthol cigarettes, even worse. But there's something about this perfume brand called David Off Cool Water.

It's like a blue one. Yes, I know it. And ciggies. Menthol ciggies. Not the smoke, but just like the sort of lingering atmospheric smell of it. I don't know. Yeah, because you know I've got that scent. What's that one that I've got?

The Eros or whatever that's called. Yes. That's a good one. People like that. Yes. Remember we did it. That reels in. You need to find what goes with it.

Oh, I don't know. Coriander, for example. Coriander. You're going to rub coriander on yourself. Some sm. Oh, I don't know. Coriander, for example. Coriander? You're going to rub coriander on yourself? Some smacked mint. I don't know. I'm just saying, as good as these things are, there's always something that can be added to it.

It just makes it pop off. I recently found out I stink of MDMA. That's right. Because my friend who works in the drug-busting realm was like, the MDMA, it's my perfume. And it's a really expensive one, isn't it? Let's not talk about it because Aaron will be up by now. Well, anyway, apparently there's been lots of,

so many studies done about pheromones and what it means. And apparently if you are genuinely turned off by the smell of your partner's armpits, like their natural, normal stank, you're very unlikely to last. Really? Because you don't have that compatibility that your natural chemicals and your hormones aren't compatible.

So you should save yourself a lot of time from the outset of a potential relationship by just getting straight into sniffing the pit. Yeah, because it's like that sense of sexual attraction just won't be there. It is going to be a forced thing if you're not naturally sexually attracted to your partner. What about if I can't smell my partner? Yeah, but I can't smell. Because shut up, I'm stinky and I can't smell it.

So does that mean what? Because you just think she smells like an angel. You're just lucky to have her around. You'd know after all these years if you didn't like the smell of your partner. 100%. Yeah. Yeah. You're just lucky to have her around. Sounds lovely the whole time, yeah. You'd know after all these years if you didn't like the smell of your partner. A hundred percent. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there's moments where I've, like, Aaron's worked a hard day.

Yeah. You know, on the house or in the garden or something. I go, God, you need a shower. But does that smell repulse you or is the smell like, there's the smell of my hardworking man? Yeah. Yeah. I like coming home with a box of beers for my hardworking boy.

For your big boy. Yeah, yeah. My hardworking man. Whipping up a Sammy and a beer. Yeah. Yeah. I like coming home with a box of beers for my hard-working boy. For your big boy. Yeah, yeah. My hard-working man. Whipping up a Sammy and a beer. Yeah, a hot man needs a cold beer. Yeah. But that's the only sort of classic roles we play in our house. Right.

Yeah, so what? So apparently if you do not like it, if you smell them and go like, oh, my God, you stink. It's a much deeper meaning than just like they need to have a shower. If you are repelled by their natural scent, which I'm not. Oh no, I've got a little perfume on but I forgot, Dio. Thank you for coming to work without deodorant today. No, it's fine. Nothing's happening yet.

Nothing's happening yet, but it's a long day ahead. I'll put Aaron to the test. I'll shove his nose into my armpit and be like, still love me? Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM. I had a laser appointment yesterday. I'm done with

the legs, pits and bits. Oh, congratulations. Thank you. Did you get the whole leg done? Yeah. Holy moly. Toe to bits. Yeah,ly. Toe to... Yeah. Toe to...

Bits. Bits, yeah. Wow, okay. I know. Smoothie as. Anyway, so now I'm just... I'm with the face. I'm behind on the face.

Right. So I went yesterday for my little face appointment. Shave my face in the morning. You've got to shave before you go. Aaron walks in. You go for a wee. I'm like, good day, mate. Good morning.

Yeah, love. Have a little shave of the chin. Anyway, I went to the appointment. I love the place I go, they're great. I hopped up on the table and any changes,

and then I pay for the whole face, but I don't get the whole face. Right. It's just where the burns connect to the beard, to the tash. That's me. Okay, yeah.

Just like what Vaughn's got on his face, that's what I get lasered. Yeah. This is the whole face. No, but not your cheeks. Oh, no, okay. And you can get your forehead me. Yeah, okay, yeah. Just like what Vaughn's got on his face, that's what I get lasered. This is the whole face. No, but not your cheeks. Oh, no, okay. And you can get your forehead done and that kind of stuff. What about your mono?

No, you can't. It's too close to the eyes. Okay, right. Too close to the eyes. Yeah, too close to the eyes. Yikes. Also, what mono? I was waiting for that.

No, you have a very distinctive gap. Thank you. Thank you. Very much. Anyway, so every now and then, because it's someone different every time, they'll say, are we doing the cheeks today? And I'm always like, I mean, are the cheeks that bad? I don't know.

I'm always like, no, no, just sort of more lower. Yeah. And then she was doing my upper lip, got right up towards the nose, and then she goes, she touched me here and was like, and are we going to do the tip of the nose? The what? I've got a couple of rogue. On top of the nose.

Just rogue, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, like the tip of an eyelash on there. And I'll see it every now and then. Do you? Yeah. I don't know if they're there at the moment. Do I have a hairy nose? And it's seasonal. Look at the tip of my nose.

It's seasonal. No. I don't see any hairs. And the light was coming down. Yeah, but the light, she's got like a cosmetic grade light. Oh, right. Looking down on the tip of my nose. And now I feel like, should I do the tip of the nose?

I don't know. I'm just having a little look up close. I mean, if you've paid for the face, like, why not just get it done, right? Because then I'd have to start shaving the tip of my nose. And for me, that's just too much admin. It's very, like, round. You could easily, like, get a blade in there. Yeah, and I've got that boof at the end,

the little bauble bit at the end. How am I supposed to get round that? I didn't even know there was hair on it. I don't think there is. So I used to go in, when I'd get my back lasered, I'd get my nose waxed, my nostrils waxed, and just to tidy up around the ears so I don't have old man ears. And one time they popped

a little bit on the end of the nose, and then just it was that wax that they put it on, no paper required, then they just like peel it off. Oh my god. Can I have a look at the tip of your nose? Yeah, yeah, I can't see from where I am, but if you get a light on, there might be like just a... Yeah, there's a couple.

I just shut my eyes because you were so close. But then I didn't want you to think I was going to kiss you. What do you think when I kiss? I don't shut my eyes when I kiss. So if you shut your eyes when you're that close to someone, it means you're not going to kiss. If your eyes are open, I'm looking at a lamb of smooch. Do you know what's confronting?

Those mirrors. And you've probably got one of these. Those mirrors when you go to a hotel and they're real full up. Magnified. I'm always like, oh, this is a cool mirror. Light on. I was like, ugh. It's so you can do your eyebrows and stuff.

Right. Yeah, I don't need that mirror in my life. No one does. No one does. No one does. Do not look in it. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. So a Taylor Swift fan has gone viral online because they feel embarrassed and filled with regret

after paying five and a half thousand US dollars, which is nearly ten thousand New Zealand dollars for two concert tickets. And you would have, if you've been following the news, there was the whole Ticketmaster Live Nation debacle in the US where tickets were put on hold, the sale.

Yes. Oh, yeah. Because didn't Taylor say she was the one who stopped it, right? Yeah, and then all the resale sites have been selling tickets, some of them for tens of thousands of dollars. God, get a grip. Get a grip. You could buy so much house for that.

Producer Carwain, huge Taylor Swift fan. How much would you pay for tickets? What's the most you'd go? Now, my mum is awake, but if she's listening, please block your ears. Probably maybe maximum like $600 for a ticket. If it was like the best seat, you know, like quite close to the front, VIP. I suppose if it's your like number one artist, your number one band.

There's some bands I would pay. I mean, I'm going to Billy Joel next week and I paid quite a bit for that. I was going to say like touring bands at the moment, like the big bands, the big shows. If you're seated up the front VIP, you're paying that much anyway. Yeah. Four, five, six hundred dollars. She puts on a show, you know, like it's a full production.

It's worth it. Ever seen Freddie Mercury on the stage? Ever seen The Wiggles? Oh, that concert and that was only like $49. Yeah, that was cheap. Oh, and that was a concert

of a lifetime. Yeah. I've never seen Vaughn so happy in my life. I've never had me that happy. It's not even an exaggeration. I've never seen Vaughn that happy. I've never seen you that happy. I've never seen Aaron thatn so happy in my life. I've never had me that happy. It's not even an exaggeration. I've never seen Vaughn that happy. I've never seen you that happy.

I've never seen Aaron that happy. We were two big happy boys. Big happy boys jumping around, bouncing about. It was fun. But yeah, it's a lot of money. And yeah, there's just a lot of regret. And people are forking out a lot of money at the moment. Yeah, they are.

Because, you know, she's touring and there are only so many tickets. Yeah, but still, there should be a cap on that stuff. Yeah, on the resale? Emotional buying, right? Yeah. Because I was talking with friends about Adele's new Vegas concert and we were like, if you were in America, if you were in Vegas, would you go? Yes.

And out of interest, I think we looked at tickets and they were like a thousand bucks. No. No. Yeah, I'm like, I like Adele as much as the next person. No. Not $1,000 like Adele. Not a truck on top of a holiday cost. No.

Like maybe if you weren't on holiday and you were saving and something, but to add that, to me, that goes under the umbrella of how much the holiday costs in total. And now we're going a little bit crazy. It's getting crazy. You're up, Dad. But I thought, could we take some calls this morning? And it doesn't need to be concert tickets, but have you had some buyer's remorse, some regret? I bought my house in the peak of the market.

A couple of months later, did it dramatically drop in value? Yes, it did. This is what auctions thrived on yeah during the peak of real estate in new zealand the panic and the passion and i'm never going to find another house and prices are going up so quickly i'm going to get in now and you get emotionally attached to a house and just what do we just drop five and five and five more five yeah put your hand down what's your maximum you're like it's this amount and you go like that goes early on and you go like we can find more we'll find more i mean it can't, that goes early on. And you go like, we can find more.

We'll find more. Keep going. It can't be that much more. You'd think you would have learned. And then at Vaughan's Kids School charity auction the other night, you nearly bid hundreds of dollars on a house cleaner. And I don't even have a house, really. You don't even have a house to clean.

You get wound up in the moment. You get excited. I don't get it. You do. It's the frenzy of a purchase. It was me. I was with you guys when I bought Billy Joel tickets. And I panicked.

And Carwen got great, cheap, good seats. And I was like, I can't find them. I can't find them. And they were ticking along. And we had to get back to a meeting. I paid an exorbitant amount. You did. You did.

But next week I'm going. And I'm second from the front. Maybe you got carried away at a charity auction. Yeah. Or just something online. Maybe you had a little tipple. Oh, yeah. True. Maybe you had a little tipple and you hopped online. You thought a little tipple. Oh, yeah, true. Maybe had a little tipple and you hopped online

and you thought, I need that. Okay, 0800-DARZEN. We want to take your calls now. You can text as well, 9696. When did you pay too much for something and then had a bit of buyer's remorse? All right, give us a call. We want to know when you've got a bit carried away,

spent a little bit too much money and maybe had a little bit of regret, some remorse after the purchase. A lot of people experiencing this at the moment with Taylor Swift tickets in America. Gone a bit full on, spent absolute thousands. Yeah. Jesus.

There are some text messages coming in that are making my wallet ache. Yeah. I feel it running my wallet. Remember how we went to the school fundraiser? Yeah. My girl's school fundraiser. I feel it right in my wallet remember how we went to the school fundraiser yeah my girls school fundraiser

and there was a car park for sale yes two car parks when they went for like a few hundred dollars each yeah

drunk at a school fundraiser spent five thousand dollars on a VIP car park at a school problem is my kids don't go to that school oh that's a donation.

Gifted it to my pregnant sister. Oh my God. I'd put a tiny home on that car park and Airbnb it. That's a great idea. To the groundskeep. Sure.

Whoever wants to score. I'm over teachers that don't want to. Teach teachers that want an app. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Let's take some calls. Victoria, when did you regret a purchase? Yeah, so, um, I think about the early 2000s. I went over to LA and I thought we'd go to Victoria. We're going to go to WrestleMania. Victoria, Victoria, we've got a bit of a muffly phone problem.

Are you going to hand over it? It unmuffled for a moment. And then remuffled. I'm trying my best. That's cute. That's cute. That's cute. Yeah, that's good.

That's good. So how much did you pay? About $600. For what? For WrestleMania tickets? Yes. Yeah, but it's WrestleMania. It's the Christmas of wrestling on the wrestling calendar.

Oh, my God. But they're acting. They're acting. I know. I know. I think it was about $30 for a ticket, but we didn't know this. This was like pre-internet. We just had to trust the Flight Centre lady,

and it was like a once-in-a-lifetime. But now I'm thinking, what a minute. Wait, you bought WrestleMania tickets from Flight Centre? and it was like a once in a lifetime. But now I'm thinking, what an idiot. You bought WrestleMania tickets from Flight Centre. You idiot. I didn't know how else to do it. I'm young. Little mark up there for the Flight Centre captain.

Yes. Amazing, Victoria. They said lowest airfares guarantee, but not the WrestleMania. Not the lowest WrestleMania tickets. Jade, when did you spend too much? When or where? Yeah, where? Well, what did you buy?

When, where, what, how, who? Some post-regret pictures. I bought an outrageous amount of pyjamas for an outrageous amount of money. You only need a couple of sets? Yeah, you do. But every year, I get me and my partner and our son some matching pyjamas for Christmas, as you do. Oh, okay. Are they Peter Alexander?

Are they Peter Alexander? Of course. Oh my God. Let's make him a wallet, eh? Guys, it gets worse. It gets worse. So this year, we've got a daughter as well. So I had to buy four pairs, obviously, and it's her first matchy-matchy Christmas. Yep.

But also my mum and my uncle are coming and my sister lives here with her partner and her little boy. So I bought nine pairs of PJs. Also, you don't need PJs in summer. Yeah, but you need Christmas matchy-matchy. And my mum's coming all the way from England, so it has to be done. Okay. Are they summer jams?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're shorts and T-shirts. Jade, how much are nine pairs of matching PJs from Peter Alexander? Tell us. They're about $721. What? In pyjamas. Pyjamas.

Oh, my. If my partner's listening to this, I'm in so much trouble. Do you know Vaughn could have married into this? You could have got free pyjamas. I don't know if you know this, Jade, but Peter Alexander wanted it. Was he hitting on you? I mean, me. I don't know if he did.

I think he was just being nice to Vaughn, and Vaughn took it as... He was much nicer to me than everybody else. Yeah, that's true. It did seem like he was flirting with you. We could have offered you a discount. I was going to say maybe next year you could get me some pouches off. Vaughn 40. Vaughn 40 at checkout.

Jade, thanks for your call. Some messages in. When you've had this post-purchase regret. Oh dear. There's so many. There's so many and there's a lot of money to it. As another school auction story, I paid $3,000 at a school auction for use of a house in Italy

for two weeks when I was drunk. But, of course, this didn't include getting to Italy. I had to book an entire holiday around it. Estimations cost about $30,000 all up for everything. What? It doesn't cost $30,000 to get to Italy for two weeks. Yeah, but it is if you want to do it in style. But this is also the woman that paid $3,000 for the house. She doesn't sound like the one

who's looking for the cheapest option, you know. And you just get a full new wardrobe. Business class flights. Of course. Husband told me I'd committed so I had to follow through on it. Kids had a great holiday, but I've been banned by my husband from going to any auctions forward. Yeah. Ultra

competitive husband spent well over retail for a second hand little tykes plastic car on Trade Me for our toddler because he didn't want to lose. Oh yeah. Lots of that. I couldn't stand somebody else getting something that I wanted and I ended up paying three times as much. Yeah. It's different at a school,

a charity auction or an auction because you can see the people. But on Trade Me, you don't know who they are. Yeah, they don't need to trash talk you afterwards on Trade Me. Do you think it would work if everybody had a picture of themselves? Because if I saw a smug little round photo of you,

I'd be like, I can't let him win. Do you know what? On Trade Me auctions, because I've been bidding on little tractors, I don't think people don't take me seriously because I've only got two stars because I don't let him win. Do you know what? On trade me options, because I've been bidding on little tractors, I don't think people don't take me seriously, because I've only got two stars, because I don't trade me. Oh, that'd be why.

Have you got two stars? I've got two stars. I just don't trade me. Right. I don't do anything on trade me. I've got two stars, and then there's these guys with a big star, and then all these stars around the outside. Oh, yeah.

Authenticated. They're big dogs. Imagine a picture of his smug little face and two stars. Yeah, I know. I reckon I'd bid more on a little tractor. You'd just outbid me. Outbid you, yeah. Well, I'm never going to get more stars because you guys won't let me win any auctions.

I've got four stars. Fantastic. How many stars have you got on your tractor? I can't remember. And 171. Does that mean I've engaged in 171 interactions? Yeah. I've got, let me tell you, I've got two stars.

What's your percentage positive feedback? I'm just loading that. I don't know. Mine's 98.9. Because once I bought something, I never reached out. Really? Because I was a teenager. So you're naughty.

My rating is 15 and two stars. Yeah. 100% positive feedback. Yeah, because you've only had 15 engagements. I've had 17 feedback. Yeah, because you've only had 15 engagements. I've had 171. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM.

Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little boy. Silly little boy. Silly little boy. Silly little boy. Silly little boy.

Hey, Birkenstocks, yeah or nah? I'm big yeah. Big yeah. I've got my first pair. I'm breaking them in. I was nah. I was nah. But then I turned 40 and I became a yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. That's good. I think they're all the rage, but aren't they like an old man's sandal in Germany? Well, like a tourist's sandal. A tourist's,

but then tourist's sandals are back in fashion as well, like the Tevas. Oh, I know. Tourist's sandal generally has a little bit more on the back, like a Roman. A strap.

Strap to hold it in, you know, a bit of sports mode. You can maybe go hiking and just use them in the city. A bit of, I'm going to climb this Mount Taranaki I hear so much about. Yeah, and I don't have to change my shorts. No, I go in these sandals, very ill-prepared. Yeah.

Yeah. Birkenstocks, yeah or nah. 63% of people, yeah. 37% of people, nah. It'll be interesting to see the reasons, nah, because price might put some people off. Yes, but Carween rocks a faux stock. Is that right, Carween?

Yeah, well, call me out. You've got sort of a plastic version. No, no, no, they're still the same. They're Birkenstocks. Yeah, but they're Kmart. Oh, no, so they're not Birkenstock. But they look exactly like them. Yeah, right.

$9. Birkenstock. They were founded in 1774, Birkenstock. I mean, they've been around foot as long as America. Yeah, centuries. They're as old as America. Jane said, Jane's got a profile picture of her jumping a horse I wouldn't jump a horse

no she's on the horse the horse and her are jumping a fence I thought she was peddling over a horse Jane I wouldn't recommend them while riding a horse

you want those fully enclosed boot don't you bought some last week after all the hype about them on your show I didn't know we'd been hyping them

on the show we've been hyping the stock well we've given a casual mention yeah god I hope she's going to have blisters like me I've got blisters all over the show. And we've been hyping the stock. Well, we've given a casual mention. Yeah. God, I hope she's going to have blisters like me. I've got blisters all over the show. Where are your blisters?

One on the side of my foot. Yeah, and on the top? And on the top with a... Really? Because the leather has to wear in. Yeah. Yeah, because I went for the leather ones. I've got suede.

I had leather and now I've got suede. Okay. Got that comfy though. Incredible. Christian, can you wear them on planes? Yeah, if you're an a-hole. Why is it an a-hole move? No one wants toes on a plane.

Oh, no, jandals on a plane. Yeah, but people wear jandals. Are you allowed to even wear jandals? You're not supposed to. You're not meant to because if the plane crashes, how are you going to walk on the burning wing in jandals or Birkenstocks? With your flip-flops. Stick to the wing,

won't they? Mm-hmm. They will stick to the wing. And that mount as the wing as you walk across the wing on fire. In other words, they said don't open the door

if you see any fire or smoke. See, I was listening. Yeah, I haven't listened for a while. Yeah, I haven't listened for a while. Has it changed? The safety instructions,

have they changed? No, pretty much the same. Because I haven't listened in years. Pretty much the same. Emacy is yes, but only on girls. If a guy's wearing them, I assume he's a douchey corporate kind of guy who gets out off the city in the weekends to go to his parents' beach house

that he claims is his own with a few douchey mates to make margaritas because they're so cool before moving on to long whites. That is you. And talking about big shots they are at their companies. That's you. I mean, she's ticked all the boxes. You know my mum and dad have got that beach house that I'm always at with my other mates and friends.

Although rude, because I was making margaritas last weekend in my Birkenstocks. Yeah, I made margaritas over the weekend as well. In my Birks. Moving on to long whites. I like the idea of moving on to long whites. Yeah. Guys, I can't.

This margarita's a bit sweet for me. Should we move on to something with, you know, a bit more of a neutral taste? These ultra sweet long whites. Should we move on to something with a bit more of a neutral taste? These ultra-sweet long lines. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bronte says, I'm going to buy white Birkenstocks for my wedding when I need to change out of my heels.

Oh, yeah, nice. Classic. Nice. They have me high. The foot stains them. You talk to Georgia Burt. Is she here yet? Oh, she's got manky ones.

She needs some new ones. Well, she's got very sweaty feet, I think. It's a medical condition. But they do start to darken somewhat. Yeah, mine are darkened. Yeah. Yeah, but that's really only comfy. Black.

Yeah. Oh. So that's why I wondered how white they would stay. For how long? Somebody just paid $600,000 for Steve Jobs' old Birkenstocks. Well, they're having the geniuses going to rub off, are they? Oh, from the toes. God, you should have seen them.

They're manky. Yeah, I bet they're manky. Ashley says, my mum calls them vegan shoes because my vegan friends wear them. Yeah. That's in the debate with the friends over the weekend. They did say that it was the shoe choice

of the unvaccinated. Did they? And I said, I don't know if the unvaccinated have a stranglehold on the Birk market. Expensive shoe. Correlation doesn't equal causation is what I'm saying. Expensive footwear to fork out if you've lost your job

because you're not vaccinated. Or you can get them from Kmart for $9 and apparently they're, quote, exactly the same. Antonio says, they're too wide for my feet and they look weird. I do have vegan Birkenstock slippers though and they're great. Now, what are vegan Birkenstock slippers? I don't know. They've got like a fluff inside. Or don't know animal products involved in them.

They've got like a fluff inside. Or so you can get narrow. Mine are narrow. Right. Birkenstock's actually vegan. You can get vegan ones. Oh, okay. But no,

most of the time they're leather. You can tell they hang around the broccoli and the carrots and the party. Yeah, of course. The vegan ones. Michael says, I'm a croc slide boy.

Oh yeah, okay. I'll croc around the house I'm not ashamed to admit it now I'll croc around the house super comfy great they get wet nothing can hurt those crocs

I can't I'm not here but if you were to wear them across this ultra hot plane wing that we're all getting off because the planes crashed on fire

the crocs would probably melt Birkenstocks are better than jandals every day of the week says Kat also Birkenstocks with the right socks is cute. They're basically a year-round shoe. Yeah, because that was my playing question.

I feel a nice sport sock with Birkenstock would look quite cool. I'm not brave enough to rock a sock and stock. No. Sock and stock, no. It would look quite cute with a little dress. A little dress and a sock and stock. I think it would look cool. Okay, tomorrow I'm going to dress and a sock and stock. I think it would look cool. Okay, tomorrow I'm going to do dress, sock and stock.

Okay. And you can tell me if it's a vibe. But then if you find yourself in the situation of Georgia Burt with a very black Birkenstock from your ultra sweaty feet. Black sock then. What are you going to do? She's not here yet. She's still not here yet.

I'm just wondering. She's probably dealing with her feet this morning. Or I believe she's got a podiatry appointment. Extremely sweaty feet. Black feet. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, well then if you go to the lights. She's probably dealing with her feet this morning. Or I believe she's got a podiatry appointment. Extremely sweaty feet. Black feet. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, well, there you go.

Stocks rock. Yeah, I'm pro Birkenstocks. I'm pro Birkenstocks. Yeah, okay. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Romances in the workplace. They've done a big survey in the,

I was going to say in the Britons, in the United Kingdom, on people's perception of workplace relationships. 15% of people say, oh my God, so unprofessional. It's a little old fashioned. Where else are you supposed to meet people? I genuinely don't know.

It's hard. If you get up in the morning, you go straight to work, you're there all day, get home. I know, exactly. And do that on repeat. It would be hard not to fall in love with someone you work with. Especially when Carmen walks in every morning.

Bloody gorgeous blonde hair. She's always got a nice outfit on. Oh, my God. I mean, what are we doing today? What are we doing? Up to you. Okay. Holy moly.

Wow, it's finally happening. Triggers have been pulled. Oh my god. This is great. That was easy. You can see how easy it is. She comes in here, she's rocking a new top. Oh, I'm not going to notice that. She does have Kmart Birkenstocks. Oh, hang on. I'm out. Cut her off. Cut her mic off.

I don't want to hear from her. 15% of people say they would absolutely not do it. 28% of Brits admit they have had a relationship with a workplace crush, whether that's like gone all the way. 24% of people, of people that had had those relationships, married their co-worker. Wow. I know.

I could imagine you'd never get time apart though. 38% of Brits know someone who had an affair With a co-worker That's a lot Yeah Oh my gosh Might still be the same person Yeah that's true Yeah

It makes it very awkward though If you have an affair with someone at work And it goes bad Oh god Like I couldn't imagine anything worse I think that's the thing It's a little admin A little admin heavy for me

To balance it. You'd rather have an affair out of the workplace. Yeah, I just want to go more for a strange and less connected to my main life. That's why Bruce is just perfect. He's not connected to any other area of my life. I go out to his house in Devonport. Devonport, Bruce. He's doing all right.

Do you drive all the way around I picture Bruce as a bit more of a Glenfield type no no no no well he's ex-Glenfield but he moved to Devonport ex-Glenfield he's worked

his way up to Devonport yeah yeah he got a good promotion at his job as a labourer I think he might be a bezling Bruce sounds dirty you should meet him one day

well you can't meet him though because that's the whole point is I don't want him connected to any aspect of my life okay right also Bruce I'm going might be embezzling Bruce sounds dirty You should meet him one day Well you can't meet him though Because that's the whole point I don't want him connected To any aspect of my life Okay right Also Bruce I'm going to be late Because I think we're going to
