Starting point is 00:01:08 A little cookie crumb, a little sprinkle, some lollies. And Aaron's just like clocking this. And he was like, um, excuse me? And he's like picking up the menu being like, I've never seen this in my life. The waiter looked at him and said, do you want one? And he goes, yes, please. And then I've got this photo of this big man making his little dessert like a sweetie.

Starting point is 00:02:20 But they don't let you order from the kids' menu if you're not a kid. No, I know. I will say the other day I went to a very I went to the fancier place near my house The one just down the corner Very fancy very famous One more time Yeah I went there right

Starting point is 00:03:28 Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Is everybody relaxed after the long weekend? Oh. No. This is what happens when you have kids, right? Oh, my God. It's got nothing to do with the children. It wasn't long enough.
Starting point is 00:03:43 It tricked me. It's been like the lead up to this long weekend is always like long, long, long, long, long, long weekend, long weekend, long weekend. It gets said a thousand times. Yeah. So you expect it to feel really long and then it just feels kind of ordinary. And it's literally a day. Yeah. Long is like a two week.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Yeah. A long weekend is a two. An eight week long weekend. I think every time we celebrate something for a long weekend, we should get at least a week, if not two, off. Yeah, but that's a week or two weeks off. A long weekend is just three days. No, but I'm saying we should change that. A long weekend should include two weekends at least.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Right, okay. And all the days in between. That's my strong belief. Yeah, you've come back happy after the long weekend. Oh, so happy. Gosh, gosh, listen, look at me. That frown is permanent, isn't it? Yeah, you've come back happy after the long weekend. Oh, so happy. Gosh, gosh, listen, look at me. It is. That frown is permanent, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:04:29 Hey, this will make you happy. Today is World Pasta Day. Correct. I know you love your little pasta. I don't really know. You don't love pasta. No, I don't love it. It certainly isn't in my top five.
Starting point is 00:04:38 You love your lasagna. I love lasagna, but. That's not pasta. I mean, the meat and the cheese and the tomatoes are doing all the heavy lifting there. Yeah, fair call. There's not a dish where the pasta element's my favorite part. You don't love a pepper dally? Nah.
Starting point is 00:04:52 And you know what I don't like? Creamy pasta. You hate mac and cheese. You see, I love mac and cheese and creamy pasta. Yeah. The top six dealing with today, being world pasta day. I've got the top six words that could be past the dishes if you say them
Starting point is 00:05:05 in an Italian accent. Okay. Is this going to get you cancelled? No, because we still haven't forgiven the Italians for World War II. That's right.
Starting point is 00:05:14 They joined the wrong side, didn't they? Germans, Japanese. Let's not forget the fascists down there in Italy. It's also fine. I'm a little bit Italian because Aaron's Italian.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Right. So I'm a little bit Italian. Coming up also. Right. So I'm a little bit Italian. Coming up also on the show, I've got, if you need some inspiration for a holiday, the holidays coming up or next year, planning a trip away, Google's most searched for destinations in Australasia. What are you doing? Not on the list. Not on the list?
Starting point is 00:05:39 But worth a stop in. One hell of a mall. Yes. One hell of a mall. Next on the show, though. I want to talk about what side of the bed we're sleeping on. Because actually, it may have more impact on us than we think. Play.
Starting point is 00:05:55 ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Silly little po. Silly little po. It is so silly, silly, silly that a silly little pole. Silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole.
Starting point is 00:06:17 When you sit down next to someone on a plane, do you say hi? Yeah, but that's it. That's it. And then headphones in and that signals. Don't freaking talk to me. Don't talk to me. Well, two thirds of people always say hi. So I would have considered, Hayley, you're quite outgoing and you'd say hi and you're
Starting point is 00:06:39 friendly. Fletcher's the, what do I delicately call this? Standoffish. Spit of an a-hole. I know. But even you say hello to people, 33% completely ignore. No, you don't ignore.
Starting point is 00:06:51 You can't ignore. You've got to acknowledge their existence. Maybe I can imagine a 45-minuter or an hour domestic. You just sit down, put your headphones on, and you ignore the person. I could imagine that. But a long haul, and you're going to need I could imagine that, but a long haul, they're your neighbour now. And you're going to
Starting point is 00:07:05 need them to move at some stage. You're going to have to rub your anus against their knees, basically. I always go Jenny's towards. No! I'm going to ask the front seat, Jenny's towards. That is so aggressive, Vaughan.
Starting point is 00:07:21 I straddle across. It's too much. Nobody goes front. Nobody goes front. Nobody goes front. That's psychotic behaviour. That's another silly little pal for another time. What way do you face when squeezing past people? Genies to seed or genies to face. Unless they're tiny, you've got to get up so that you can let people out.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Don't let people climb over you. Even someone who you wouldn't consider tiny, how rude is it when you say, I'm so sorry, I need to go to the bathroom, and all they do is shuffle their knees? Yeah. So then you have to smear yourself against them. Oh, no, I like that. You love a bit of frottage. Jenny's forward smearing across the knees.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Sarah says, no, I don't say anything I completely ignore. I don't want to encourage them to chat the whole flight. Yeah, because the other thing is you could get stuck next to an elderly person that doesn't know how to work the television. Oh, I had that recently. I'll help them. I like old people. I'll help them, but then I don't want to know about the movie they're going to watch.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Right. Kate Winslet. Oh, Kate Winslet. We like her. Oh, we like her. Oh, I like her. She was in the English patient. Was she in the English patient or was that that other woman that looks like her?
Starting point is 00:08:23 Oh, I don't know, But I love her in that. Titanic. Sian says, I keep to myself. If you start a conversation with them, you are running the risk of having to chit-chat with them the entire flight and that is a game I don't want to play. Oh, God, no. Samantha says, always got to give them the awkward white people smile. Yeah, that.
Starting point is 00:08:41 No teeth. No teeth. Big, wide, lip-heavy smile. Maddie said you say, hi, how are you? I'm good. I found a really good podcast I'm excited to listen to. Chest kiss, headphones in, no more chat. Some people don't get it.
Starting point is 00:08:58 You could say that, but then you can also put headphones in. That's an international symbol to not talk to me. Please leave me alone. But people will still try, won't they? Yeah, people don't get that. No. People don't play that game.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Tegan says, if we make eye contact, I'll do the polite thing and smile and say hi, but otherwise, no, I'm very shy in that way. Okay. Oh, T.
Starting point is 00:09:20 I'm shy. Shy a little. I'm just a shy little girl. I'm shy. I'm shy. I'm shy. I'm shy. Catherine says, I say hi and then completely ignore them for the rest of the flight.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Alexandra says, I feel it's more awkward to not say hi. I'll judge by their reaction to the hi whether or not to ask them about their trip. So she's the chatter. We're going to chatter. We're going to chatter. We're going to chatty Cathy. We're going to chatter. Attention please.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Alexandra is a chatty girl. And Hannah says, if they say hi first, I'll say hi back, but I won't go out of my way. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you're talking about generations now that do not want to talk to strangers. Yeah, exactly. They don't know how to look people in the eye.
Starting point is 00:09:55 It's understandable. Yeah. So there you go. It's a little poll today. The majority of people not even saying hello. I say hello, but that's it. 33% nothing at all. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

We're all gathered in the town square to hear you and what you have to say. I, the town crier, have something for the town to hear. So this is in the UK, looking at the self-checkouts. Right. Which we love. I always go for a self-checkout.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Sometimes I like to push the limit. They say 12 items or 15 items. I'll rock a 20. I'll take the half trolley into the self-checkouts. Right. Which we love. I always go for a self-checkout. Sometimes I like to push the limit. They say 12 items or 15 items. I'll rock a 20. I'll take the half trolley into the self-serve. You're a monster. No, no. It has to be basket.
Starting point is 00:15:31 No, because do you know that like at my local supermarket, The Countdown, the height of the self-serve checkout is perfectly under the height of a trolley, a half trolley. So it actually sits over the top of it. Oh, that's handy.
Starting point is 00:15:46 It's handy. Yeah, I think, and you know what? I don't think that's an accident. What? You think it's intentional? You think that's a design? I think that's... No, sir.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Yes. Jeepers, you're out of your mind. Well, I use it all the time, but I have genuinely never stolen or, like, used it to take advantage by taking an item without paying. Yeah, people are in the UK, aren't they? People are one in three. One in three?
Starting point is 00:16:14 33.33333%. See, I don't. Repeating? Infinite. I mean, it's the whole being done shoplifting as a grown adult would be quite embarrassing, right? Yeah. And then being banned. How embarrassing. grown adult would be quite embarrassing, right? Yeah. And then being banned.
Starting point is 00:16:26 How embarrassing. Mum, can you come and get me? What's happened? I've been arrested for shoplifting. Or someone being like, oh, hey, I've just got to quickly tuck in here. Oh, I can't go into New World anymore. Oh, that's right. I've got a trespass.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Oh, God. Oh, from when you were a kid. No, from when I was 40. A couple of weeks ago. So all of this little light stealing that these people are doing, be it that, you know, like scanning one item as another of a cheaper item, or
Starting point is 00:16:54 just straight up stealing, equates to 500 million pounds. So that's a billion dollars. A billion dollars a year in the UK. Wow, New Zealand dollars New Zealand dollars a year So this is why they're implementing more of those
Starting point is 00:17:11 Well we talked a few weeks ago Didn't we about the It's happening in Australia at Kmart And a lot of supermarkets Is that at the self-serve checkouts They're checking the dockets and your item count No, I mean more the scan And they can see the item so you
Starting point is 00:17:26 you can't put it down can i borrow your apple i haven't tried this yet but i've been using my fitness pal yeah have you guys been using my fitness pal on our journey to health yeah but you can't and it's scanning yes you can it says scan a meal and every time i see it and shadow's like yeah you just like scan a meal and it tries to identify what's in your meal. Do you think they will know that's an apple? What? Because I scan a barcode on a box. Oh, I have to be premium.
Starting point is 00:17:53 I'm not paying for this shit. Oh, I think I'm premium. Don't be so stupid. You are a student. You would be nice. You must be nice. You belong to so many. I've got money to burn and calories to burn.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Repeating. Have you got? Pick on. Because you're right, though. My local supermarket with the self-serve checkouts has a scanner. It's got AI and it scans the color. It knows. You know, the shape.
Starting point is 00:18:17 And it will give you the options on the screen of what it thinks it is. And if you go back into the menu and select another fruit, for example, you'll need a checkout supervisor. I am premium. Why wouldn't it let me do this? Well, look, it's an apple. You know it's an apple. But I'm premium.
Starting point is 00:18:34 I need to use a premium function. I was going to give the AI something simple. Hang on. Snacks. Scanner meal. There is nothing worse than paying premium for an app and then the features are rubbish. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you're
Starting point is 00:18:45 like oh i just got to remember to stop paying before the next month oh hang on and then it keeps charging you every month it's retrieving retrieving food image database oh okay ready to log meal scan is ready to go start scan i mean i'll just say in this time you could have gone into my fitness pal selected apple selected one apple, but I'm premium. Medium. And she's paying a premium to be premium. She wants to enjoy. It's actually just taking so long to retrieve food image database. Let's not bang on my food. Here it is.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Start scan. MyFitnessPal. That could just be the work Wi-Fi. Here we go. This is also. Yeah, that's true. It's a freaking terrible apple. Oh, it's a terrible apple.
Starting point is 00:19:19 Is that the last of the apples? Yeah. It's starting to go. It's too flimsy. It looks like Gran when she's in the home. Goes wrinkling and a bit soft. Generic apple, one medium. Yeah, do that.
Starting point is 00:19:31 What else can I scan? Wow, I tell you what. Scan this bell. Yeah. Oh, is it broken? No, you just can't have your... Holding the vibrating part. There you go.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Okay, scan the bell in MyFitnessPal. What does that say? It's gonna think it's the Mellow Puff. Metallic Mellow Puff. It can still see the apple. It's like, hey, hey, hey, hey, eat the apple. Don't eat the bell. Imagine if it's like Mellow Puff.
Starting point is 00:19:53 What happens if you scan bad food? Searching. Does it, um... Now you've gone from that angle, it looks like a booby. Point the camera at food. I am, dude. It's a bell. It knows it's not food. It knows it's not food. Move closer.
Starting point is 00:20:04 It knows it's not food. We knows it's not food. It knows it's not food. We're not going to be able to trick our robot overlords are we in the future. Like they know. She like dresses a tree and hope they all go past you. What if I scan Fletch searching. Oh my god how many calories do you reckon I'll be? Okay. How many calories do you reckon I'll be? Oh my god if you ate me how many calories? Scan that I'll be? Oh, my God. If you ate me, how many calories? Scan that. I wonder if it'll recognise. It's in its wrapper still. So you could take a bark. Oh, it doesn't have a bark.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Okay, here we go. Right, scan that. No, I think it's got to be out of its packet to realise it's a muscly bar. Because it doesn't know what it's covered in, right? No. Hang on, hang on, hang on. Take it out of its bag. I mean, this is not riveting radio listening, is it?
Starting point is 00:20:42 Yes, it is. They want to know if it's scanning. Point the camera at food. They want to know if Hayley's premium subscription to MyFitnessPal is worth it. It's not, is it? Food not found. Yeah. Okay, take it out of the thing.
Starting point is 00:20:53 I know it's a muesli bar. I don't know if Jared's ready to eat the bar. I don't want to ruin the bar. Stay tuned as we find out if it knows it's a bar. And also, don't shoplift from the supermarket, I think. Never shoplift. It's a bar. And also don't shoplift from the supermarket. And don't shoplift. Never shoplift. Costing a billion dollars a year.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Play ZM's Fletch for the daily. Play ZM. I feel like I engaged a superpower or a magic ability while leaving work. I already knew this, your ability to guess people's mum's names. Oh, yes. That's one of my superpowers. Well, I found my secondary superpower. It's the power of wishing or suggestion.
Starting point is 00:21:28 I was driving out. Oh, hang on a sec. This sounds like the secret, how you wish for money. And it happens. I wish I wished for money. If this was my one, you'd imagine if for one second in everybody's life, no matter what you're thinking came true, that would be a good TV show. It's called The Second.
Starting point is 00:21:43 And it follows a different person every time and it leads up to what their thing is at the end and you think it's all going to be like nice but in that moment
Starting point is 00:21:49 they're thinking or wishing for something really dark and then something really bad happens oh my goodness The Second The Second
Starting point is 00:21:57 I'll leave that with some proper writers so what you just go what is it and you've got to say it well no no you don't even get asked it just happens to be
Starting point is 00:22:03 whatever you're thinking about and this may have been my episode of the second. You'd be following me at work. You'd be thinking, oh, here's a handsome boy. That's what you'd be thinking watching the show. Who's playing you on the show? Obviously someone handsome.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Statham. Jason Statham. Jason Statham. Right. And I'd even let him have the accent if he wants it. But I'm leaving work in my Suzuki Jimny. Right, this actually happened. This actually happened.
Starting point is 00:22:28 So this is actually, I'll go back to the real story. Jason Statham, not included. Yeah. And I was leaving work. Jason Statham's not getting in a Jimny, is he? No. He'd get in a Jimny. Although, is he quite short?
Starting point is 00:22:38 Because he was a diver. Like he was at the Commonwealth. He's not as tall as. You think he'd be like 6'4". I'm 5'11". Yeah, I think it was, it came out he was at the Commonwealth He's not as tall as You think he'd be like 6 foot 4 5'8 I'm 5'11 Yeah I think it was It came out he was 5'8 No he must be taller than that
Starting point is 00:22:50 Jason Statham is 1 metre 78 Oh I'm 1'79 Wow Okay so he's not He was actually quite tall for a diver then He's 5'8 1'78 is 5'8
Starting point is 00:23:02 Well that doesn't make sense I'm 5'11 Well you've got to be taller than 178. And I'm 179 centimetres. You must be getting into the 80s. Someone's been adding some inches. Oh, but down here it says 178 is 5'10". Oh, make up your effing mind.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Yeah, so 179, I'm 5'10", 3 quarters. Well, either way, Jason Statham is not involved in this. Oh, I'm sorry. Statham is not involved in this true story. So it's 5.8 feet, but 0.8 because of this stupid imperial measuring system. Another inch. It's 5'10", but it's 5.8 feet because there's 12 inches
Starting point is 00:23:36 in a foot. Right. Not 10. Christ, get on board with the decimal system. This is why. Okay, so he's 5'10". And there's no Jason Statham. You're leaving work the other day in your Suzuki Jimny. Yep, that's how they prefer it to be said. And I see a man carrying a massive platter of sandwiches. Now, this was a big circular plastic platter,
Starting point is 00:23:56 but it wasn't a Subway sandwich. It was just club sandwiches. And it had a plastic dome over the top. Now, he was carrying a lot. So much so that when he was carrying it, his arms were probably at, like if you tuck your elbows into your sides and hold your arms straight out like that,
Starting point is 00:24:12 that, and there was a little bit of overhang. Now, I thought to myself, gosh, that's a lot of sandwiches. Wouldn't it be funny if he dropped those sandwiches? Vaughn! Vaughn! For a second. It happened. It happens.
Starting point is 00:24:24 He literally, as I'm watching, I think to myself, man, wouldn't it be funny if he dropped those sandwiches and then he like stands on something that came off a tree. Is it conker season?
Starting point is 00:24:33 No. Are those, you know, are they those spiky ball things? But it's not conker season, aren't they? Don't they fall down? Whatever fell off the tree,
Starting point is 00:24:41 whatever the leaves were in. Oh, okay. Because all the trees are opening up and they're shedding whatever their leaves are hidden inside. Yeah. And he stood on one of those and it was like wobble. And I was like, oh.
Starting point is 00:24:50 And then he went, boof. And the thing flipped. Flipped? It hit the ground. The flat platter hit the ground at 90 degrees. Oh, no. And so the plastic top went, boof. And like popped off and the sandwiches just went. Everywhere. Oh, that poor guy. Did plastic top went, and, like, popped off, and the sandwiches just went everywhere.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Oh, that poor guy. Did you grab a sandwich? I know. I was driving, and I just looked at him, and I was like, I did that. And then I cracked up laughing. And he looked, and he saw me just, like, cracking up laughing. And then I couldn't stop laughing. Like, I laughed.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Gosh, I laughed. I sent you guys a voice message after it happened. Yeah, you did. And I was just laughing. And then my mom called. I called her. And I laughed. I sent you guys a voice message after it happened. Yeah, you did. And I was just laughing. And then my mum called. I called her. And I just couldn't stop laughing. She's like, what's the problem?
Starting point is 00:25:30 And I told her. And she's like, oh, Vaughn, that's terrible. What a waste of sandwiches. Yeah, it is a waste of sandwiches. But then my mum's angry at me because I'm 40. And she's angry at me because I laughed at a man dropping sandwiches, which made me even laugh even more because that's funny. So I apologise.
Starting point is 00:25:45 I'm trying to find out. I've got the voice message. There might be swear words in that because I was fairly jovial. Let me play it. Just as I was leaving work. Oh, you turned your phone. I hate when it does that. You've got to keep it right up.
Starting point is 00:25:58 You've got to keep it on portrait lock. I saw a guy carrying a plate of sandwiches, like a big platter of sandwiches, and I thought to myself, man, it would be so funny if he dropped those sandwiches. And he then proceeded to drop the sandwiches. And it was as funny as I had hoped. And I somehow think that's my new superpower. There it is. I say, man, it would be funny if, and then the thing that I think would be funny actually happens.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Can you say, man, it would be funny if you... I won lotto. Yeah, had like ripped abs. I don't think it works like that. I'm not using my power. I think it would be so funny, Hayley, if you got a sponsorship with Moochie. That wouldn't be funny, though. It would have to be funny. Imagine me every day turning up and I'm in Moochie. That wouldn't be funny though. It would have to be funny.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Imagine me every day turning up and I'm in Moochie. That's also not that far fetched. It's funny. Get on board with it. Man, it would be funny if you got sponsored by Moochie. Hayley.
Starting point is 00:26:58 It hasn't happened. It hasn't happened immediately. You're still wearing the same bloody... Your phone's ringing. It's Moochie HQ. Hello, Hayley speaking. When I heard the term fubbing, and then I heard that our lovely Morgan sexologist was coming in,
Starting point is 00:27:19 I thought fubbing was much ruder than what I'm reading here. But it's not, is it? Yeah, so Morgan, welcome back. Hi, it's good to be here. So good to have you. What is fubbing? So it's when you are in a union with somebody and you are there in the flesh with them,
Starting point is 00:27:36 but you are distracted by your phone. So you are snubbing that person in the flesh by being on your phone. You're fubbing. I think I fub. You fub. I think everybody fubs. I think everybody's guilty of a bit of fubbing. I'm really bad at fubbing. I think I fub. You fub. I think everybody fubs. I think everybody's guilty of a bit of fubbing.
Starting point is 00:27:47 I'm really bad at fubbing while there's a movie playing. Like Aaron's idea of quality time would be just like sitting on a couple of beanbags side by side watching a movie and then he gets annoyed because I'm on my phone. But does he have to be doing something more attention worthy for me to fub him or can I be fubbing him?
Starting point is 00:28:04 It could be in that context but it is happening I guess, I mean when you're watching a movie you're kind of distracted anyways you're not really connecting with that other person I'm going to bring that up with him, thank you actually That's rubbish, that's rubbish connection It's more like when you are actually chatting
Starting point is 00:28:20 with somebody and then you keep getting distracted like there's somebody else entering into the conversation yeah no i still do that what about phone phone prioritizing there's another term i've just come up with there where you're prioritizing your phone over your partner well i think that's the most hurtful thing right when people feel like i'm here in the flesh with you we could be connecting we could be touching we could be having big dnms and here you are going into this other little world some hot instagram model
Starting point is 00:28:52 but it is like it is escapism as well. That's the scary thing. Like, we could just be having dinner here, our chicken breast and broccoli with our partner. Oh, bro, why are you making chicken breast and broccoli so dry? And I've asked you a thousand times, woman. Cook the thigh. The thigh is the go-to, not the breast.
Starting point is 00:29:20 What I'm saying is we could live these very routine, bland lives, and we could be on our phone looking at somebody on the Amalfi Coast Having cocktails and wishing we were there You are literally I just fubbed you What? I just in this moment fubbed you So you were talking about something really interesting
Starting point is 00:29:38 And I'm really engaged with you And I respect you as a person And I really enjoy your company Thank you And then I felt my wrist buzz And I looked over to my laptop, and I saw a text from Erin, and I stopped listening to you, and I just read it.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Wow. There's another one. Call me. She was prioritizing. I can't, Erin. I'm talking to Morgan. She was prioritizing her partner there, though. Yes, but in this moment, this is the person that I have chosen to engage with.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Right. And I'm all you've got in this moment as well. I'm going to re-engage with you and ask you a question. As a sexologist who works with, you work with both couples and singles, right? Is this something that is becoming more of a problem as we are being drawn more into our phones? The pandemic's drawn us in, the news is constant. Algorithms. The algorithms are hooking us.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Attention spans. Is this coming up more and more? Absolutely. It's actually something that couples need to negotiate in a relationship. Like, what does the phone usage look like? Is there a cutoff time for work emails? Is there a cutoff time for social? Is it like do we have phones in the bedroom?
Starting point is 00:30:33 Because honestly, I remember coming in here like last year and talking to you guys. And we were talking about like if phones are the last thing that you touch at night, we've got an issue. You know? And that's pretty common i always give myself a little um exam before you tuck yourself in tuck myself in right exam of what i'll check that it's all still there men do that i've always liked to air and i'm like what are you doing i've got this thing with yourself terrifying every now and then i'll pop it in my head been like has one of your testicles retracted?
Starting point is 00:31:06 And so I need to check that they're both there. Because I haven't felt them for 20 minutes. Anything could have happened. Yeah. My body could have been like, I want my hair back. And then I'm like, oh, where's it gone? But they're always my fear. Because I'm not consciously aware of my genitals at all time.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Well, ours don't move the same amount as men's. They actually shift and retract in different temperatures. We have to tuck in place. We're all in. You don't want to lie down on it, funny. No, God, no. You know, I see these cyclists doing your Tour de France, your Tour of Southland.
Starting point is 00:31:37 I've been in a spin class of this one when he sat on one of his boys. I've sat on a ball. Yeah, that's possible. Yeah, so if you're doing that for however many hours a day, these cyclists, there's got to be a worry. Always check, yeah. It's going to get pushed back. I think we're getting distracted from fubbing.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Okay. Fubbing. If you are hearing this now and you think, I'm a fubber or I'm being fubbed, am I using this term correctly? Or you're fubbing each other. You're fubbing each other. How can you get out of that cycle?
Starting point is 00:32:02 How do we put the phones down? Well, we all know the rule is the first person to put their phone down is allowed to say to the other person, you get out of that cycle how do we put the phones well you we all know the rule is the first person to put their phone down is allowed to say to the other person you're always on your phone but that's a good point right because then we retaliate fub and then that creates like a vicious cycle so we don't want to be doing that we want to just have awareness around it and and maybe find out like what's the priority like why are you on your phone what do you need from it like how can we connect so as long as you I don't think it's an issue if you have got dedicated quality time with each other or you just naturally make time but if this is a recurring thing it just has to be
Starting point is 00:32:35 talked about like this is impacting me and just share how you don't feel prioritized or how you feel like you're not seen or heard in that space and what you might need to do differently. What do you reckon about in the bedroom, keeping phones out of the bed? Because when you hop into bed and you jump on your phone, you're probably not going to be jumping on each other. Totally. I think so. It is almost like having another person in the room. You know, like think about the old days.
Starting point is 00:32:58 If somebody wanted to come in to the house by phone, they'd have to call the landline. Everybody heard it ringing. Everyone knows exactly who's on the other end. We don't even know what's happening as well, which I think is a big piece of this. The insecurity, the secrecy, whatever else could be happening as well.
Starting point is 00:33:15 But yeah, I don't think phones are conducive to a good sex life. So in the bedroom, get them out. But then what if that's your alarm for the morning? Just leave them down on the ground? Are you cheating on me? Because I'm hearing a lot of excuses. A lot of excuses.
Starting point is 00:33:29 He really wants that phone and in the bedroom. He does message me late at night. I bet he does. He's a naughty boy. I'm guessing you can plug it in, charge it, and just have it on the floor face down. It doesn't need to be in your hand. If it's a functional use like that, of course, bring course bring it in do that but then connect with whoever you're with or with your
Starting point is 00:33:49 your own body as well it's not about just couples like you can totally be a form of distraction to yourself that's right fledge thank you i've been feeling that you haven't been giving yourself enough time okay i'll work on i'll work on myself's great. Okay, so some great tips there. Any other tips for fubbing? For fubbers? I honestly just think it's about, like, it's actually quite sexy and uncomfortable to put your phone aside. So say if you go, okay, we're going to do dinner tonight, phone's in the corner.
Starting point is 00:34:19 Or, like, you know, actually have a dedicated technology free time. It's actually quite uncomfortable. Yeah, what if your partner's boring hell of a way to find out hope you're not too far down the track good vaughn you're you're in too deep to find out that shard is boring now i dare and find out great okay so phones out of the bedroom phones out of dinner time make some time for each other Was that real awkward? No, I loved it. No, it was punchy. Do you just want to do them? Okay, so phones out of the bedroom, phones out of dinner time,
Starting point is 00:34:53 make some time for each other, dedicate time to remove the fub. Exactly. And just talk about it. Like, it is obviously something that's happening in front of both of you, so let's not make it like an elephant in the room. Let's address it and just bring it into the light. Less fub, more rub. I think that's the saying.
Starting point is 00:35:08 If people want to get in touch, your website? Yes, morganpenn.co.nz. It's two Ns, by the way. Honestly, it is such a good website. Oh, no, not a pen, like a peneraco. Like pen as in Sean Penn. Yes. Fantastic actor. Yeah, no relation.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Fantastic sexologist. Well, I've got the same big nose, so I think we could be. Okay. Morgan, thank you so much. It's such a pleasure. Play ZM's Fletch Vordernaley. Play ZM. Hey, just asking for a friend.
Starting point is 00:35:37 It's our segment of the show, Just Asking for a Friend. Where someone sends us a conundrum that their friend is facing and we chime in ourselves, we get callers on the phone to try to get to the bottom of it. Yeah, so your chance now to weigh in, because we're all a nosy bunch, aren't we? Us Kiwis. I love to have a nosy. All got an opinion about something.
Starting point is 00:35:58 What's an opinion of yours, Vaughan, that might be quite controversial? Too many of my controversial opinions here. Quite interested in keeping my job, but I will say no. Let me say this about the current government. Let me say this about fracking. It's a bad rap. It's all right in my books.
Starting point is 00:36:16 What about vaccines? No, no, let's save it for later. So we have received an in-mail in our hot little inboxes. It says, hi hi FVH. I know a girl who's in a super awkward predicament. Her best friend is single and has been for five years. She is a huge fan of all the dating apps and all five of her profile pics have her and this friend that I know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Both friends are beautiful, but one of them, me, is far more conventionally attractive. Rate yourself. I'm absolutely ready to take you down to the knees, by the way. This girl keeps going on dates and then getting ghosted, and I'm wondering if it's down to the guys thinking that they're meeting with the other girl in the pics. Asking for a friend.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Is it weird to have your friends in their dating pics? And is it time to ask to be removed? Well, you certainly shouldn't be in all five. It's annoying when someone has group photos or multiple people in every photo and you can't work out who's who. I know. And then you swipe to the next one and that's a group photo. You're like, oh, so who's the common? When some of them are hot, you're like, well, I'll swipe right.
Starting point is 00:37:30 I'll match. I know. I feel like if you're going to go on a date with someone, though, you need to find out which person it is in the photo, right? Absolutely. Or it's like a game. Find the common one in each photo. I would just message and say, which one's you? But then what about a privacy thing? Like, what if your friend was using one in each photo i would just message and say which one's you but then what about a privacy thing like what if your friend was using you in their photo like would
Starting point is 00:37:50 you would you be okay with that yeah i know what you mean because then it kind of it could look like you were on and then if someone you knew saw your face yeah yeah they might go oh my god you know they're on tinder i don't know i've never been on Tinder. I've played on people's Tinders before though. I feel like a lot of people as well on Tinder, if they do have friends or people in their profiles, they'll put like an emoji over their face or just, you know, squiggle it out. That could be like something to do. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:21 I don't know on this one, but I mean, it is obscure that she has all five of them with this other friend. Maybe she's, I mean, because this person who's messaging on behalf of this person, shall we say. Oh, asking for a friend, of course. Asking for a friend. Yeah. Has said that one of them is far more. I don't know if I hit the word far more. One of them is far more convention I don't know if I hit the word far before. One of them is far more
Starting point is 00:38:46 conventionally attractive. So they're like baiting them in with this incredible hot friend. Well, that's what I reckon the suspicion is. Is this just a mistake or is this intentional baiting? You've got to do it the other way around though.
Starting point is 00:39:01 You've got to be the hottest one in the photo. So you've got to get photos with... That's what I do. Absolute dogs. I go friends. Yeah, my absolute dog friends. Yeah, yeah. Wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Who are your absolute dog friends? I've got a few of them. Oh, my God. And do you want to admit right now? Let's just say I have to look at them every bloody morning. Oh, I did not know. Wow. It would be an honor to make you look far better in comparison.
Starting point is 00:39:24 No, I don't have any dog friends. I only hang out with attractive people. It's part of being one of my friends. Okay. This is what we want to know. Yeah, we need your help now. 0800 dials at him as a number. Text as well.
Starting point is 00:39:35 9696. Asking for a friend. Should this person ask to be removed? From their dating profile. From their dating profile. Pictures, yeah. And have you been in this situation before? Like, has there been any friend group fights
Starting point is 00:39:49 over people using your image? To sort of put line and sinker a date. Oh, it's terrible that they're walking away. I just have one hell of a face on. All right, asking for a friend, if you've just joined us, just quickly. So the friend, there is another friend who has a
Starting point is 00:40:06 tinder profile and always puts the friend in the photos and now the other friend keeps getting ghosted and the friend who is emailing us
Starting point is 00:40:16 on behalf of a friend is wondering if it's because they think they're going on a date with the other person but again who's not running a check this is what I think I would literally just be like which one is it cute pics yeah They're going on a date with the other person. But again, who's not running a check?
Starting point is 00:40:26 This is what I think. I would literally just be like, cute pics. Ha ha ha, can't tell which one you are. Can't tell who you are. Somebody said, has this girl not watched a single episode of Catfish? Yeah. She's posing as her hot mates. I always ask for the Instagram Snapchat for this very reason.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Yeah. She should embrace her face. One group photo is fine because it shows she has friends, but very out of the picture. Embrace your face? If someone ever said to me, Hayley, just embrace your face, I'd be like, what do you mean? Which bit of it? Why? Why do I need to embrace it?
Starting point is 00:41:04 Oh, it's, no, yeah, it's fine. Just embrace it. And somebody else said, as, yeah, it's fine. Just embrace it. And somebody else said, as a dude, I'd probably roll the dice hoping she's the hot one, but I don't know if there'd be a second date. Oh! Hey, just asking for a friend. Well, asking for a friend, just a quick recap. We've received an email, of course, asking for a friend. Asking for a friend, and this friend is in every single photo of another friend's dating profile.
Starting point is 00:41:28 And they keep getting dates and then getting ghosted. And this friend is wondering, is it because the people that they're going on a date with think that they're going on a date with her? It's very complicated. Yeah. And then, like, how do people feel about having friends in their dating profile pictures. Exactly. And she wants to know, you know, is it time to ask to be removed? Yeah. To see if this is the core of the problem
Starting point is 00:41:49 of getting ghosted all the time. Leah, what do you think? Honestly, I'm a big fan of being honest about it. Like, maybe she's got super low self-esteem. I think if she just had, like, a really gentle conversation with her about it, it might help. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Yeah. Would you be okay if you were in a friend's dating profile pic and they hadn't told you? Yeah, I mean, I feel like I'm on the dating ads that I put my friends in my profile pics and don't tell them about it. But do you do it intentionally to, you know? Make yourself look hotter.
Starting point is 00:42:21 Make yourself look hotter. I mean, no, probably not. But if someone else felt something about it, I'd want them to tell me. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. But I wouldn't have really even thought about it because I guess your friends, there's a photo and everyone's probably put it on Instagram anyway and it's public. Yeah, and if you're looking good.
Starting point is 00:42:35 And if everyone's looking great, yeah, you probably wouldn't ask your friends. It just shows the sort of like fun gal squad you could be hanging out with if you were lucky enough to be picked as the beau. Yeah. Yeah, true. Leah, thanks for your call uh abby what do you think um about friends being in your uh dating profile pics i think it's all good i think it's life too short she shouldn't stress about it and it would just be so awkward to bring that up oh so you're going like, don't, just let it be. Don't ask for permission.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Yeah. Like, it's a little bit, yeah, I think it's all good. It's quite flattering for the friend. Actually, yeah. Yeah, that's a good way of looking at it. Unless they are using you to make themselves look more attractive. Okay, what if, here's a scenario, right? You're like, Fletch and Vaughn, you're in a profile picture together.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Yeah. I'm swiping and I see one of you And I go Oh yeah That's a bit of me And then I go to date with you And I go That's not the one
Starting point is 00:43:28 That I thought was the one And then I'm like And then I get to know your personality And I'm like Okay I'll go with them Even though they've got a dog face And then at the wedding Which one of us has got a dog face?
Starting point is 00:43:38 That's why I'm not naming names At the wedding Yeah I finally see the other one Who was originally in the profile picture That I was baited with And I go Oh my god there's the one I wanted. Right.
Starting point is 00:43:48 Then what all those years ago? It's taken you all these years to meet the other best friend. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then – Right. Yeah, but then it's burly, baby. That's how burly works. You put the burly out, the fish just swim into the trail
Starting point is 00:44:01 looking to yum up something, and they might not get the bait that they wanted. But they want it. Abby, thanks. Someone's getting nibbled on. Thanks for your call. Thank you, Abby. Ashley, what do you think? Even though it's kind of low-key flattering for her friend, I reckon it's a bit too weird.
Starting point is 00:44:15 It's like brutal, but she needs to be hit up and kind of given the truth. Yeah, and saying, hey, I think this isn't working for you. Because it's all about being a good friend and saying, like, you know, you're getting ghosted. You just need to be honest. Yeah. Especially if she's coming to her every time and like, that guy didn't show up again.
Starting point is 00:44:32 Yeah. Yeah. Because he didn't. But then, like, who is going on a date with someone without, like, you, you. Which one are you? You say, oh, this one is nice. Which one's you?
Starting point is 00:44:42 Yeah, which one is you? Like, you're not, who's going on a date without checking? I don't know, but does that come across as vain? Not vain, sorry, shallow. Maybe. You want to know. Who am I looking out for? That's on you.
Starting point is 00:44:52 If you don't have a single photo of you. I know, but Fletch, just to remind you that emails said one of them, as in the person in the email, far more. I know, yeah. Far more conventionally attractive. Ashley, thanks for your call.
Starting point is 00:45:04 So I think overall text coming in, Vaughn, you'd say, talk to your friends. Talk to your friends. Talk to your friends. Just have a conversation. Who cares? She's only hurting her own feelings. That's one of the texts.
Starting point is 00:45:18 Okay. Tell her she'll get more matches having photos of just herself, and then you don't have to get hurt feelings you know where it doesn't happen oh so you take it back on yourself be like oh don't put my blood yeah do you
Starting point is 00:45:28 remember we talked to that Bumble expert what a year or two ago and they were saying the same thing like people don't like group photos on dating apps
Starting point is 00:45:35 like they want to see you they want to they love smiles yep smiles people react to photos with smiles otherwise we think
Starting point is 00:45:41 you're a serial killer yep don't hold like a dead fish don't hold a dead fish. Have you ever matched with someone, you're the only person here that's used dating apps, have you ever matched with someone just to ask them who the other person is in the group photo because they're hot? No, but I have thought about it.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Yeah. I want that one. Yeah, I don't want this flavour. I want that ice cream, but I've got to ask that ice cream what that ice cream's name is. Is that mint choc chip? Because I want the mint choc chip, not orange choc chip. Oh, I see. No, I'd want the orange choc chip.
Starting point is 00:46:07 No, I always go orange. I was just doing a scenario. Is a three scoop an option here? I don't want the French vanilla. Hey, you've got to have a bit of pain in the neck. No, no, no. What are you going to put on an apple crumble? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:46:20 I'm going to go for the triple chocolate. On an apple crumble? Yeah. What the hell is wrong with you? Once again, we reiterate, Fletch is trash. He's a trashy little bee. Play ZM's Fletch Vodaneli. Play ZM.
Starting point is 00:46:39 Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about Genghis Khan. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. Mongolian restaurant. Oh, wow. Throw up. I used to live in Wellington and there was a Genghis Khan right in town And when I was hungover and Aaron and I first started dating I used to wake up and he'd turn to me
Starting point is 00:47:14 And I'd go Genghi Oh my god Amy Genghi And we'd go to Genghis Khan And I'd last like two bowls And that was it Right well Little sigh have you heard of Kublai Khan? No.
Starting point is 00:47:29 I've heard the name before, but I've never known what Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan was Genghis Khan's grandson. That's just a little. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's just a little side note.
Starting point is 00:47:40 That's just a little name I saw that tickled my fancy. Any info on Kublai? On Kublai? He ran a pokey restaurant, didn't he? It was a pokey bowls. Pokey bowls. Kublai Khan was, he died,
Starting point is 00:47:54 well, yeah, his granddad was Genghis Khan. Yeah. And he was the ruler a couple of generations afterwards. Okay. Kublai Khan and Marco Polo
Starting point is 00:48:03 apparently. Oh yeah. They probably played that game. Okay. Kublai Khan and Marco Polo apparently had some. They probably played that game. Marco. Kublai. Kublai. Now, this isn't going to work. I think one of us is going to say Khan.
Starting point is 00:48:16 No, Polo. Okay. Khan. Polo. No, it's not working. Kublai. Yeah. Kublai is way more fun to say than Polo.
Starting point is 00:48:24 Yeah. But today's fact of the day is about Genghis Khan and the fact that, you know, easily the most famous Mongol Empire leader. Yeah. No one knows where his tomb is. What do you mean? Where'd they put him? They know the exact date he died, which was the 25th of August, 1277. But they don't know where Genghis Khan's ancient tomb is.
Starting point is 00:48:50 What a great idea. Like a mystery burial. No. Do this when I die. And then you've got to find me. I could be under a Westfields. I could be in a park. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:02 I could be floating out to sea. Why not? Are you telling us Where to put your body When we murder you Or when you actually Just naturally pass away Naturally pass away
Starting point is 00:49:10 Okay because The things you listed Were also where people Just dispose of dead bodies Yes I would definitely If Vaughn and I Accidentally murdered you
Starting point is 00:49:18 I would find a construction site And pour you into a pit And pour concrete over you That sounds like it Okay yeah I've got enough sort of like Do you know what I mean? Because I mean Are you going to dig up the construction site and pour you into a pit and pour concrete over you. That sounds like it. Okay, yeah. I've got enough sort of like plan. Because, I mean, are you going to dig up a $200,000 building for me?
Starting point is 00:49:32 No, you're not. Not for some old radio announcer. Of course not. He was asked. We're not going to murder you for a few years. It'll just be like you didn't come home from one of your overseas sex jaunts. What? Those cruisers. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:49 Did he get off the boat? Nobody knows. He fell. So he asked to be buried in secret. So they carried his body home. They're killing anyone they met on the way to burying him. His massive army. Then when he was buried, and they believe along with treasure, a thousand horses rode over his grave to destroy any, like,
Starting point is 00:50:09 trace of the grave being there. And here we are, like, 800 years down the track, and nobody knows where it is. Have they tried looking? Yeah. Okay. But Mongolian, like, the government don't want people to search. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:50:27 For Genghis Khan's grave because they said it's one of the, you know, one of the, like, mysteries of Mongolia, and it was his final wish was not to be found. Yeah. The dude was, like, one hell of a leader. He ran all of Asia at one stage from the Caspian Sea right to the Pacific Ocean. Yeah, right. He had it all sorted.
Starting point is 00:50:48 And from what I hear, he liked the ladies. Did he? Oh, did he? And I'll tell you what else he liked. Flipping his shield over on a hot flame. And grilling some meats. And walking up a tree. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:01 That's why they're such big, those pans, is because that's how the Mongolian army cooked on the back of their shields. That's why they use a big old wok. So today's fact of the day is Genghis Khan's tomb, his grave, and presumably a whole lot of treasure that he was buried with, has never been found. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. I thought this was something people didn't really talk about anymore.
Starting point is 00:51:41 What's your number? What's your body count? Yeah, what's your body count? My number's 021. No, no, no, don't give that out. You'll be inundated. Sadly, sadly, I don't reckon. Two people. Sorry, I just heard this number. I didn't know.
Starting point is 00:51:56 I thought maybe you had some free stuff. No, what's your number? How many sexual partners you've had in your life? I don't know. I don't know. No'll go around the circle. I don't know. I honestly don't. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:52:08 It's not high. It's not high. No, no, it's not high. His nickname in the Hamilton days, I can't even say it on air. Oh my God, I know. It's low. Less than Jesus
Starting point is 00:52:16 had disciples, that's for sure. Oh, there you go. And that's also showing that I'm a good Catholic boy. Yeah, good boy. So you waited.
Starting point is 00:52:23 You waited until you and Sade were married. Yes, but it's always the Judas that gets you. Sade, in. Yeah, good boy. So you waited. You waited until you and Sade were married. Yes, but it's always the Judas that gets you. Sade, in this case, is Judas. So you're saying people lie about their number. So people lie about this. Bumble did a big, they called it the Modern Romance Report, about this, around a number of things.
Starting point is 00:52:40 And one of them was, do you lie about how many sexual partners you've had? And 38% of Aussie singles, this is where it was done, are lying about it. Now, are they lying? That's a huge percent. Are they lying because it's an astronomical amount of partners and they feel like they don't want to be slut shamed? Yes. Or are they lying because they feel like they haven't got enough partners?
Starting point is 00:53:01 They didn't differentiate, but by the way that they're saying that they feel like they would be judged based on their number. So actually, I suppose it could go either way. Yeah, okay. You'd be judged for like having one or two. Too many or not enough. Or one or 200. I didn't really think it was a thing anymore because I remember like back in the day, it
Starting point is 00:53:21 was either like a source of pride for people or it was like, and then it kind of went like, it actually doesn't matter. But there was always a double standard. For guys, it was the more the merrier. The more the merrier. Whereas if females had more, then it was bad. Yeah, exactly. That was only when you were talking,
Starting point is 00:53:36 guys talking to other guys would boost their number, but guys talking to girls would always lower it some. What did they? It's weird that you'd even exchange yeah your number yeah it's a strange thing so 38 of people have been lying about it unless you're about to be number one that should probably be discussed but this is interesting so 38 of people that they interviewed um that they surveyed said they're lying about it but 64 of people that they interviewed said they don't care at all or judge based on number of sexual partners.
Starting point is 00:54:07 Right. 22% of singles said that someone having too many previous partners is a turn-off. So that's actually like a lower percent. Yeah. And 13% of people considered it a positive as it indicates that their partner might know what they're doing. They might know a thing or two.
Starting point is 00:54:23 Yeah, so what's that golden things. What's that golden number? What's the golden number? Let's just say them. I honestly don't know. Ballpark number. You'd fill a ballpark? Jesus Christ. Was it Eden Park or like a little one?
Starting point is 00:54:39 No. Sold out Eden Park? A little. Like Basin Reserve. Or like Auckland Blues Eden Park. Basin Reserve. Or what about Blues Eden Park. Basin Reserve. Or what about a Warriors end of season? Are we sitting on the grass or only sitting on the seats?
Starting point is 00:54:50 We're up on the bank. A Warriors end of season where like hardly anyone's turning up. Oh, you're hard and Warriors fans though. They go hard. Yeah. It's like one of us in this room has an All Blacks audience. One of us has a Black Ferns audience. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:03 And Fletcher is Superbowl. Including everybody watching at home. Are you hearing this shaming? Are you hearing this shaming? At halftime, there's some bloody good ads though. Oh, the great ads at halftime. Oh, it's all about the ads. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:55:18 What side of the bed do you sleep on? Stage right. Middle. Stage right. Stage right is when you're on the stage. What way? A. Yes.
Starting point is 00:55:31 But if I'm standing at the foot of the bed, looking at the bed. Left. Yeah. Same. I'm left looking at the bed. I'm more left, but also can be center and starfish because I'm the only one in the bed. Me and my body pillow and cat. So jealous.
Starting point is 00:55:47 When I get too much room is when I do the twist at the hips and sprawl the legs thing. Yeah. And I wake up with a stiff lower back. It's too much room. Yeah. I'm the same. And I can't sleep. I can't sleep with him. Can't sleep without him.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Am I right? I'm on the right side. Aaron's on the left. What about if you went to a hotel, like we're going away for work, it's just you and the bed. What side do you sleep? I go on the right side really yeah sometimes i'll mix it up at a hotel i'll be like i'm going on this side you're kinky
Starting point is 00:56:10 man i know yeah aaron went away recently and i slept on his side just to check it out what did you think it's absurd over there yeah it's not it's not for everybody it's not brave men in front of me who sleep on that side it's a a wild time. Yeah, definitely not for everybody. Well, apparently I'm going to be worse off than you guys. So the majority of people who, there are more right side sleepers than left side sleepers according to this survey.
Starting point is 00:56:36 And then people on the right side, I don't know how much of this is true, but the people who sleep on the right side of the bed have an easier time falling to sleep but when they wake when they finally hit the pillow they're more likely to keep waking up and then feel groggy and exhausted once they had a sleep whereas if you're on the left side you have a you find it harder to go to sleep really yeah who conducted this while i mean
Starting point is 00:57:02 how because i want to because i i sleep on the left side now because it's closer to the door. And when I flatted in my old flat for like eight years, I was on the right side because the door was on the right side. Yeah. Yeah, it's an interesting thing because I chose the right side because it was not where the door was when Aaron and I first got together and he was in protective mode. Yeah, he was your protect door.
Starting point is 00:57:25 So when the burglar came in, boom, here he is with a bat. And then I would probably do the same at hotels. I would sleep on the side closest to the door because that's normally nearer to the bathroom. And I need to go for a midnight wheeze. Yes, always. Or a 2 a.m. wheeze. So I don't want to be on the other side of the bed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:43 But I've never noticed that I sleep any differently on either side. No, I know. But the left side's the best side. Yes, and right side, right side is more likely to get too hot. Okay. Don't ask me how they know this. Probably solar flares. Yeah. Oh, solar flares.
Starting point is 00:57:59 Yeah, it'll be solar flares. And less likely to have a good sense of humour. I mean, that's me. Old serious Sally over here. No sense of humour. It mean, that's me. Old serious Sally over here. No sense of humour, right? It's because I'm on the right side of the bed. I need to switch over to the left. Yeah, just for creative, you know, creativity, if nothing else. I'd have a grumpy boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:58:15 You know what I mean? With no sense of humour. So you're willing to take that bullet. You're willing to be that person. For him. You are that selfless. Yeah. People on the right side also can't switch off their brain
Starting point is 00:58:28 due to feeling anxious. Is this where it's all come from? All I need to do is just switch the side of the bed. Well, maybe you need to swap with Aaron, but then you'll need to be the protector of him. Yeah, I will. With the baseball bat. It's not the side of the bed's not causing this.
Starting point is 00:58:42 It's just that the people who have these tendencies tend to levitate to that side. So they're not saying whether or not they blame the bed, but they're saying right side sleepers are more prone to being anxious, humorless. It's also, we've got to remember, there's two sides. So this is like a coin toss every time. Yeah. I think, I'll call call it This is some stats BS
Starting point is 00:59:05 That's a skew Are you second guessing my stats? I am second guessing this wild internet story That I'm guessing is from some reputable Statistical analysis website like Study Finds No, this is actually a survey conducted by a duvet company Always getting the best stats Redact your rejection please
Starting point is 00:59:26 I will reject your Redaction of my rejection Redacted Rejected An expert A friendship expert Has spoken on How to show your friends
Starting point is 00:59:38 You love them Oh I'm a friendship expert And I've read this list And Fletch You do none of these things Oh no Oh wow How long have you guys Been friends for? 18 I've read this list, and Fletch, you do none of these things. Oh, no. Oh, wow. How long have you guys been friends for?
Starting point is 00:59:47 18 years. Has it been 18 years? 18 years. Wow. Yes, 18 years. July, was it 18 in July? Nope, it was April. You piece of shit.
Starting point is 00:59:59 It was one of them. It was one of them. Oh, it was one of those months. It was a one in 12 shot. Yeah, I know. I was out by a couple. Here you go. Here's how to show your friends that you love them.
Starting point is 01:00:12 Shower them with platonic affection. Keep it platonic. Don't shower them with love. Right. That's when you're moving from the friend zone to the lover zone. Well, I give you a lot of compliments. I shower you. I wouldn't call it a shower. When was the last time you noticed me give't call it a shower.
Starting point is 01:00:27 When was the last time you noticed me give Vaughan a compliment? Go on. I've got some time. That's a nice shirt. Vaughan? Probably something like that. He's never said it. I can't remember saying that.
Starting point is 01:00:38 You wouldn't say that. Way back when the Blademan Queen died. Do you remember? You asked a great question in an interview, and Fletch, you said that was a good question. That was a great question. I don't think Fletch said that. You said that. Did I say that?
Starting point is 01:00:54 You said that. I don't think Fletch said that. Well, maybe I've got to work on that because I am quite negative towards. Well, give him one now because you know that I love a compliment. I am quite negative towards. I'm only ever saying bad things like, why are you so late all the time? I'm always,
Starting point is 01:01:07 so that doesn't encourage me to not be late because that's the only affection you give me. So I'm playing up. It's like, you know, when kids are naughty and it's the only time their parents give them any attention is when they're naughty.
Starting point is 01:01:16 So they get into a habit of just behaving naughty because at least some attention is better than none. I'm always like, why is the motorway always effing shut for you but not Hayley? It's the same motorway. It's the same motorway.
Starting point is 01:01:25 It's the same motorway. Can you please look, Fletch, I ask of you now, can you please look at your best friend Vaughn? In the eyes. In the eyes.
Starting point is 01:01:33 Oh my God, he's so uncomfortable. I can't do it, I looked at him in the eyes. And just say one thing, one nice thing about him. You have a great beard. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:01:40 Oh gosh. That's a good beard. Tell them how much they mean to you when they reach out. Tell them how happy you are to hear from them. Lovely to hear from you. I, gosh. That's a good beard. Tell them how much they mean to you. When they reach out, tell them how happy you are to hear from them. Lovely to hear from you. I see you every day, Nelly.
Starting point is 01:01:49 No, no, I'm off this. Oh, okay, good. You're a lost cause. I'm not assuming anything. Be excited at their good news. Compliment them. Praise their hard work. Greet them warmly.
Starting point is 01:02:02 Let them know when they share something meaningful with you. This is how to be a good friend. I do all of these things. No, this is just point one of showering them with platonic affection. This is the sort of sub points of point one. Smile at them genuinely. Oh, God. That looks terrifying.
Starting point is 01:02:21 Jeffrey Dahmer's here, everybody. Remind them that you are grateful to know them. That could it. Jeffrey Dahmer's here, everybody. Remind them that you are grateful to know them. That could get a bit much. I'm grateful to know you. If all these things happen in a short space of time, I'd be like, he's getting a bit much. This is so me. It is you.
Starting point is 01:02:36 This is me. I do this. I'm a great friend. Friends come first. Aaron, seventh, and he knows it. Wow, he's got a will. But he always says, know He appreciates that I'm a good friend
Starting point is 01:02:46 Because I do I always say to my friends I'm so grateful for you Remind them how grateful You are to know them Tell other people How great you think they are And tell them
Starting point is 01:02:55 That they'll succeed In reaching their dreams I can't do that one It's the Kiwi in you You want them to Fail I feel like You tell someone
Starting point is 01:03:04 They're going to succeed in reaching their dreams, they feel like they've already succeeded in some way. And then they'll stop trying and then they'll fail and it'll all be my fault and I won't do it. Lavish them with your skills and talents. Lavish them with your talents? Give them a piano recital. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:19 If that's your only talent, I'm sure they would have it. Would you guys like to come over to my garage and I'll give you a piano recital? You can share acts of generosity like this with your friends. If you're great with kids, you might offer to babysit for your kids, for your friends who are parents. If you're a gym rat, you might help your friend train for a race. I've got coming up. If you got a raise at work,
Starting point is 01:03:40 treat your friends to a fancy dinner to celebrate. That's my raise. Yeah, that's my raise. Your hand's off my raise. Get your friends to a fancy dinner to celebrate. What did that do for you? That's my raise. Yeah, that's my raise. Your hand's on my raise. Get your own raise. Get your own raise. You work hard to get a raise. We all sound like terrible friends.
Starting point is 01:03:52 Yeah. Share and spill your struggles, joys, and guilty pleasures. You might notice, yeah, Fletch will every now and then pop up on social media doing something. You're like, oh, he didn't tell us he was doing that. What do you mean? Didn't tell us about that guilty pleasure. Like what? Kept that under his hat.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Like when I went a couple of weeks ago when I went temper bowling, you were all very amazed at that. Yeah, also, I'll go temper bowling with you guys. I don't want to go temper bowling.
Starting point is 01:04:14 I don't want to go either. I'm not a huge temper bowling guy. Because I'll win. Especially now, the pandemic times, I don't want to stick my fingers in the ball. Yeah, they do.
Starting point is 01:04:23 How are you cleaning the hole? No, I squirted hand sanding into each of the holes. Into the balls? Yeah, into the holes. But then you'd have slippery fingers. You wouldn't get a good grip of the ball. Yeah, no, I had a couple of gutter balls. But the ball would have been full of hand sanding as well.
Starting point is 01:04:37 No, I poked it out and cleaned it and then got a tissue in there. It dribbled out. Yuck. Yuck. And the shoes. Yuck. The shoes. And the shoes. Yuck. The shoes. Do you know what?
Starting point is 01:04:46 It was the first time I didn't have to rent shoes. They didn't care. Oh, just wear sneakers. That's nice. It's great to wear my own shoes. Okay. Probably with non-marking sole, though. You'd need to check away with that.
Starting point is 01:04:57 But yeah, share your struggles because that kind of shows that you're open to, you know, them knowing your weaknesses as well as your strengths. Yeah. And don't sweep your disagreements under the rug. Air them out. This just sounds like how every therapist tells you to talk. Start by telling your friend how much you value them. Then use
Starting point is 01:05:14 I statements when explaining your concerns. I believe. I feel. Yeah, exactly. I feel hurt. You're a dick. Yeah, definitely. And ask your friend for a different behaviour you want to see from them in the future. Oh, that's quite deep, isn't it? Imagine talking so formally to a
Starting point is 01:05:29 friend. Yeah. Born, I value you but I do feel like you did this thing and in the future I expect more from you as a friend. Imagine. Wow. That's like being told off. You're too full on. Yeah, exactly. A lot of this, yeah, temper it, you know, because a bit of this came out a little bit before.
Starting point is 01:05:45 Add in a gag or two. Okay, a woman's TikTok has gone viral. Instagram close friends. Yeah. Do you use it? No. Nah. You've got friends that use it?
Starting point is 01:06:01 Yes. Yeah, heaps of people I know use it. I feel like it needs a different name. It's a different colour. It's green. Yeah, it's a different colour. It's a green story. But I feel like close friends is like five or ten people, right?
Starting point is 01:06:15 I know. I'm a close friend on some people, you know, because I get to see them. And when I see I've got access to it, I'm like, I wouldn't call you my close friend. I know. Exactly. I'm like, appreciate that you think I'm a close friend. Yeah, it's like the New Zealander in you. You're like, rate yourself.
Starting point is 01:06:29 I sort of get it with people I know who work in the media. Because then you go like, here's my public persona. And here's the ones I just want my friends and family to see. Or people I know at least to see. But lots of my friends who are absolute nobodies. Yeah. So a TikTok has gone viral. A woman cannot believe what close friends is being used
Starting point is 01:06:46 for now she says that like for her close friends would be yeah like you say things that she only wants certain people to see like maybe a wild night out well night out pictures of your kids yeah that kind of stuff but apparently a lot of people are using it as an x-rated dating tool so you match with someone on one of the dating apps like Tinder or Bumble or whatever. And then it gets to adding on Instagram. And then you only add the kind of people you want to show your thirst traps to on close friends. So you're just curating a smaller audience. Yes.
Starting point is 01:07:21 And so when you're at the gym and you want to put up like a thirst trap of you and your active wear in the mirror looking booty poppin'. Absolutely, you know, 10 out of 10. They will be the only ones that see it on your Instagram. And then your friends won't be like, oh my god, how shame that you're doing a booty poppin' photo. Yeah, or it could even be worse. It could be more X-rated. Wait, but you could
Starting point is 01:07:40 be sending it to multiple people. You could have a... This is like online The Bachelor. You're one person and you're showing your booty calls to... To a numerous group. To numerous people in a group who don't know about each other. Yeah, but they would know because otherwise it's just a DM. Yeah, and they'd know that they've got access to your close friends.
Starting point is 01:07:59 But they don't know how many other people have got access to it. They wouldn't see the views. But yeah, this woman is absolutely shocked because she was, I think, accidentally on the close friends group of this friend. Kept seeing. And so she kept seeing all the X-rated stuff and was like, I had no idea people were doing this.
Starting point is 01:08:15 Can you put boobs or butts on stories on Instagram? I don't. Unless someone complains about it. Unless someone complains about it, yeah. There might be an algorithm looking out for nips. Yeah, there might be, actually. A nip-rig-a-thum. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:31 What if there's a nip-rig-a-thum algorithm? I guess you could put a little gif over the nip. Like, ooh, a sunflower. Where's the fun in that? But then if you did get a post reported, a story reported, you'd know one of your close friends reported it. Oh. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:08:47 So you'd be like, which one of you two narked? Narked on my nips. Yeah. A nip nark. But yeah, apparently a lot of people using that in that way. Well, I don't use it, so maybe that's a feature I could use it for. How do you do it? But who would be on your close friends?
Starting point is 01:09:01 So you've got to like. You guys want to see my nip? You've got to set up a close friend. Nah. I feel like that's crossing a line in the workplace relationship. A professional.
Starting point is 01:09:07 Yeah. I kind of want to see this ass everybody's talking about. Oh, it's phenomenal. Ursula Carlson can't stop going on about it. She talks about it
Starting point is 01:09:14 incessantly and says, you've got to look at it before and I'm like, no, I don't think I need you. It's high praise from a lesbian, isn't it? She said it's one of the
Starting point is 01:09:21 two best asses she's ever seen. Oh, wow. And she said she's seen some asses. Yeah, right. She's seen a few. Wow. She said, yeah one of the two best asses she's ever seen. Oh, wow. Yeah. And she said she's seen some asses. Yeah, right. She's seen a few. Wow. She said, yeah, she's really tight back there.
Starting point is 01:09:31 Yeah, keeping it tight. Keeping it tight. I'm impressed. Thank you very much. Thank you. It turns out wearing glasses doesn't always make other people think you're intelligent. What? Really?
Starting point is 01:09:46 Yeah. You know how you were like, I need a couple more INT points. I'm going to pop on some glasses and that will make everyone think I am intelligent. Don't work. It works for me. I reckon I can tell if someone's a glasses wearer or not. What, if they're faking it? Yeah. Okay. Like, you know, if they're faking it? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:05 Okay. Like, you know, if you've got a lot of... Do I fake it? What? Remember, sometimes I wear, like, blue light blockers. Yeah. I don't need glasses. No, no, I know you don't need glasses.
Starting point is 01:10:12 I knew those were blue lights. But you can tell someone who's had glasses for ages because I think their face shapes around a little bit. Yes. Do you reckon? Yes. My brother is basically blind and without glasses. He's got those real like thick bottle.
Starting point is 01:10:27 Like Coke bottle. Yeah, jar. Yeah, jar. Jar. Preserving jars. So you've got perfect vision and he's got absolute shit vision. Yeah, he's not like he is blind without them. Oh, wow.

Starting point is 01:17:22 and even then it's still pretty strapped some Some hoops. Yeah, still some hoops. There's still some hoops to jump from. Oh, Japan, not that cheap. Yeah, I was going to say, I've heard it's expensive, but like, incredible experience. Oh, you got it. Did you buy
Starting point is 01:17:35 anything out of a vending machine? Yeah, we bought a few. I was with my brother and his ex-girlfriend. Oh. So we won't go too much into it. But yeah, we were buying little things. Just like little toys and stuff. We bought some sandwiches.
Starting point is 01:17:50 We bought coffees and beers. From vending machines? Yeah. Tell you what, you can buy everything. That's so clean, I would have expected something dirtier from you. Oh yeah, I bought an absolutely huge sandwich. Apparently, 55% of people when they were surveyed Absolutely huge. Yeah. Samway. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Apparently 55% of people when they were surveyed said they're okay with co-workers knowing what they earn.
Starting point is 01:18:12 Okay. Thoughts? Prez? Well, I mean, a lot of places like they like to keep it. They'll say to you, you know, keep this secret. We'll give you a little pay rise, but don't tell your co-workers. Do you know what? I've always thought this because I have been a freelancer since leaving drama school until recently,
Starting point is 01:18:32 and we would always say how much are you getting paid? Because you always get paid per job as opposed to a salary. It'd be like I'm getting X amount for this shoot day or X amount for this gig. And as actors and comedians and stuff, we'd always share because the only reason they use your discretion to pay other people less. Yes. That's all they're doing.
Starting point is 01:18:52 Yeah, and it's good in that way because then you know that you're going to get the same and not ripped off. Yeah, you know how you can be valued. But what if you're the one getting more? Yeah, that's true. But that's good for you. I've had this before. I worked on a job and I was told this is the most we can pay you. Yeah, that's true. But that's good for you. I've had this before. I worked on a job and I was told, this is the most we can pay you.
Starting point is 01:19:06 Yeah. And then I was talking to another person on that job and he was like, well, I'm getting paid this much with these kind of rules. And I was like, excuse me? And was it like way more?
Starting point is 01:19:18 Was it like a big, okay, wow. And I went back and I was like, excuse me, you told me this was the top fee. And then I got more money. See, that's why in a workplace. Why do they lie?
Starting point is 01:19:29 Incredibly insulting. Because they want to pay people as little as possible. Well, I got quite rocked up about that, didn't I? Yeah. 73% of people think that greater transparency over salaries would make workplaces fairer. Yeah. So they're not necessarily like like this is what everybody earns, but more transparency about it.
Starting point is 01:19:50 Weren't they trying to make that like a rule? Or weren't they looking at bringing that in? So workplaces with a certain amount of workers had to publish what people earned? Yeah. It was something like that, wasn't there? Yeah. 31% were neutral on the subject
Starting point is 01:20:06 and 9% report being very unhappy about the idea. That's management. That's management, yeah. That's your management. Oh, that's pretty, like, so people are quite keen. That's your management right at the end there, that 9%. It's also a bit of, like, sticky beaking, isn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:18 But then also, if the company's listed, like, CEOs say how much they earn. Yeah. Like, you can find out how much your ceo yeah that's why like that list at some stage in there they're like and the country's top earning ceos and then you like if you're working for one of those companies they told you there was no money and you're like you've got a bit of it oh my god i've just googled just googled how much what the richest ceo in new zealand in the 2021 financial year, he earned $5 million plus $2 million in shares.
Starting point is 01:20:50 Ross Taylor at Fletcher Building. No relation. I wish. To Ross Taylor the Fletcher. No, to Fletcher Building. Oh, right. And nothing to do with me. $5 million a year.
Starting point is 01:20:59 So they estimate, this is from a Renews article, they estimate that the CEO of Fletcher Building earns 88 times more than his average employee. The gap between CEO and worker pay has been widening in recent decades. And yeah, crazy, eh? Well, that took a turn, didn't it? I mean, look, I don't think the transparency around pay is to make sure
Starting point is 01:21:26 that everyone's getting the same. It's just that everyone's getting a fair representation or reflection of the work that they're giving. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:21:34 I'm all for it. Say it on three. One, two, three. Oh, another one in the bag. It's a Versace bag as well.
Starting point is 01:21:43 If you enjoyed that, give us a rating and a review and be sure to tell your mates. You don't sound sincere there, boy. I'm just reading what's written here.
