Short week. Short week. Yeah, good. Did you get up and go to the dawn service? No. Night? Night. I saw the planes fly over, though. The old planes. Yeah. That was pretty cool.

Love a flyover. World War II. World War II planes? Yeah, because the World War I planes are slower. They're the ones in Snoopy's Christmas, eh? Yeah, and they've got a top wing and a bottom wing. Yeah. That's the World War I ones. Peter Jackson's got a big collection of those, doesn't he?

He does, yeah. He's got a real stiffy for World War I stuff. War stuff. Specifically World War I, I think. Right. Okay. Yeah. Strange passion to have.

The war? Oh, I love a bit of war. Yeah. Strange passion to have. The war? Oh, I love a bit of war. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, that one was a goodie. Yeah. The guys that went didn't want to talk about it. No. No.

The guy that made The Hobbit wants to have the planes for it. Because he was going to do that movie, The Dam Busters. That's a World War II movie. Yeah, is that a World War II? Yeah. Yeah. He loves it. What happened to that?

They got scrapped in it? Yeah, I was into World War II. Yeah. Loves it. What happened to that? They got scrapped in it? Yeah, I think so. Because those were the planes that used to fly in real low over the water and drop bouncing barrels to try to blow up the dams. Ah. That's pretty cool. I don't think they had a great return rate. No.

Often their mission would be their last. Coming up on the show are the top six. Yeah, YouTube is 17 years old. Wow. So I've got the top six things YouTube taught us in its 17 years. Heaps.

So much stuff. A lot of food for me. A lot of food for the cook. Yeah, man. Yeah, totally. I did my last YouTube was how to change a window wiper because I had my friend James' car, the little Suzuki,

and I was driving it on Friday and it was wet and the back window wiper wouldn't work and it was hanging off. It was like flopping. Oh, dear. And I was like... Was it just the rubber? Yeah, the rubber bit. And so I tried to take it out and I was like,

that's weird, you can't get it out. You've got to replace the whole thing. Oh, the whole arm. The whole arm. Did you know this? I've done that before. No, I've gone to replace my blades. It's not the blades, it's the issue. Yeah. The whole arm's got to go. You've got to do the whole thing. It's like a printer cartridge. So do you have to pay for it?

Because this happened on your watch? Well, I did because I was like, well, surely this will be $5 to get a new blade. So I go into Super Cheap or whatever it's called. Yeah. Repco or Super Cheap or whatever it's called. Yeah. Repco or Super Cheap. Repco, yeah. And then the whole, it was like $30.

$30? So what are you going to pay for? Not the sticky outfit. The arm that holds the blade, that whole thing comes off. Yes, so not the device. So not the rubber. No, the bit that holds the rubber. The arm.

Yeah. It goes the same way. Yeah. The whole thing. Not the arm that attaches to the car. Yeah, the bit that holds the rubber. The arm. Yeah. It goes the same way. The whole thing. Not the arm that attaches to the car. Yeah, that thing. The whole thing. Oh, that whole thing. Yeah. Jingos. But you said it was hanging. Was it like, was the arm bugger? The blade was flopping off.

No, you can't replace the blade. Did you go through a car wash or something? An aggressive car wash? No. This was my favourite. When I went to the petrol station, it was my favourite when someone would come in and be like, oh, help, I need a new blade. That was me. I was like, I need one of these cute little wiper blade thingies. Yeah, they do it for you.

And they'd be like, oh, thank you. Yeah, you've saved the day. Good stuff. Alright, well, the top six dealing with YouTube's 17th birthday soon. But first up on the agenda, what's first on the show today, Hayley? Wow, speaking of Peter Jackson's study. I've got

a bit of an unfortunate study for Kiwi willy owners. Oh no. Okay, great. It's next, Zedem. Now look, take this with a grain of salt, because this was done by that UK men's wellness website From Mars

Okay So I won't say this is the most Scientific study Right However, they have conducted Some research of their own That look at the average length Of penises.

Right. Length. Length. When it's both. Okay. When it's at rest and at play. And when it's out to party. Whenever I hear these studies, I'm like no one's knocked on my door and asked. Have they asked you?

Did you take part in this? I took part in this. I was the one New Zealand representative. Jeepers, what I will say. How did they go? How did they go? Because they said we just need one sort of real average New Zealander. They seem to be sort of the average New Zealander. Okay, that's not a good sample size.

Oh, no. Not a great sample size. 86 countries were involved. Okay. New Zealand, we're 50th Oh no So if it was just you, Vaughan, offering up your member to... Offering up my sample size

to be the small sample size You are 50th You are flanked by the likes of North Macedonia Cape Verde Macedonia Macedonia, I did Alban. Macedonia. You said it like Macedonia.

I did. Macedonia. Albania, Poland, around our times. Ukraine, Spain, Finland, all around the sort of late 40s, early 50s. Rocking at the bottom of the list. Okay. Shout out to our Cambodian listeners. Okay.

You at your... Are they last? Yeah. 86 out of 86. At your peak interest. Yeah, at the top of the list. At the top of, you know, in the moment where you are showing all you've got to give,

average of, are we an inch or a centimetre? It's weird. It's like we measure penises in inches. Penises and subways. In inches. Yeah. Okay, 3.95. New Zealand average when you are at your peak, 5.51

inches. Right at the top of the list with a 6.93. Netherlands. Ecuador. Ecuador? Ecuador. Ecuador. But it's the big bananas, isn't it? Yeah.

So it's the big straight bananas. No, Netherlands is tied seven with Gambia, Cuba, and Netherlands. So who's like second? Cameroon. Okay. African nation, Cameroon. Bolivia, Sudan, Haiti, Senegal, Gambia, Cuba, Netherlands, Zambia. And then France.

Apart from the Netherlands. France. And the Levin. Ooh la la. Apart from the Netherlands, all of those top ones, tropical countries. Yeah. It's the heat. So you're saying it's the heat makes it grow.

And the coconut juice. Bananas. Bananas. Coffee. Coffee, coconuts. The coffee bout, you know, in between the tropics of cancer and Capricorn You've got your jar of Macona there that you're leaning on Yeah maybe this is the problem

God Italy's up there 19th United States 59th Now where does Ecuador get its massive wangs from? I don't know too much about it I know recently I learnt that Ecuador Because I said it sounds so much like Equator It's the same thing It's below Colombia It's the country of the equator Recently I learned that Ecuador, because I said it sounds so much like Equator,

it's the same thing. It's below Colombia. It's the country of the Equator. That's where it gets its name from. Spanish for the Equator. Very high altitude. Makes absolute sense. Could be that. Could it be that?

Yeah. The capital, yeah. Capital is one of the highest altitude. Is it? One of 17 mega diverse countries in the world. It's a mega diverse country. It also includes the Galapagos Islands. Yeah.

Those massive tortoises. Massive wangs. Massive, massive tortoises. Huge turtles. Huge wangs. Yeah. Okay, that'll be it. Well, congratulations, Ecuador.

And yeah, I guess keep trying, New Zealand. All right, next on the show, a Fox News host has admitted to something Congratulations, Ecuador. And yeah, I guess keep trying, New Zealand. All right, next on the show, a Fox News host has admitted to something that some people, most people, are calling creepy. He saw it as romantic. This is 10 out of 10. Full creep behaviour. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

Well, Fox News host Jesse Waters, he's 43. They were on Fox News last week. They were talking about climate activists letting the air out of SUV drivers' tyres. Right. As like a protest. Oh, yes, yes, yes. So they were talking about that.

And that's when he slipped in that a few years earlier, when he was 39, he let the air out of a colleague's tyres. She was a producer for the news show. She was 25 and he let the air out of her tyres so he could slip in there and drive her home. No. Because she couldn't get home. No, it's not on.

You can't take away someone's mode of escape. Yeah. You can't order them in your vehicle. What a romantic stud. So apparently, and so now, this happened when he was 39. She was 14 years his junior. They're married now. They're together.

He trapped her. Oh, okay, so it worked. Well, we were wrong, weren't we? Yeah, we were actually. Hey, love. Love takes all sorts of forms, including captivity as it turns out. But apparently she didn't know about this. So I don't know if there's been a follow-up to this.

Oh, this was news to her. I don't think he broke the news to her like, you know, a few months later. By the way, that was me that let your tires down. Why can't you just ask her for a date? She was obviously single. And she obviously liked him. Yeah. But was it the saving her that drew her to him?

Oh, yuck. It's creepy, isn't it? Like everyone is just laying until just like you're an absolute creep. And did he, I wonder if he punctured it repairably or if she had to get new tires. Because that's like $1,000 for four new tires. I mean, did he puncture them all? How much of a psycho was he?

Did he punch them or just let them down? I think he just let the air out. Oh, okay. But that's still quite psycho too. Yeah, it is. Like even doing that. Because if she hadn't have wanted, if she wanted nothing to do with him and he was like,

oh my God, your tyres, I'll drive you home. Yeah. She wouldn't have had a choice. He strapped her. Yeah, creepy. By the way, have you got a spare tyre yet? No, I haven't sorted it. Oh my God.

I know, I haven't sorted it. You got stranded with a flat tyre and no space saver. I did. And then I had to buy two new tyres. sold you the car

without a space saver. Do you think Pax was trying to trap me? Do you think Pax was trying to take you out? He says he was competition. He wants you to break down in the middle of nowhere

and not be able to escape. Get stuck. And eventually just die there. Die lost in the forest somewhere. And then he swoops in and does the baking show. Far out. What a prick. I mean, how much does that guy want?

Yeah, God, he's coming for my jobs. Okay, well, put that on your list. You should go for his jobs. I should. I can see you selling Fletcher's Homes. Yeah, I've got Fletcher's Homes written all over me. Yeah, look at you. You've got a real family vibe with no children

and a passionate distaste for children. You'd rock in on that TV commercial with a big goon of wine. A big goon of wine. All right, kids. Who want a three-bedroom home with a trunk and... Who's children are these? Not mine. All right, will you put that on your list, please?

This week. Buy a space saver. It's actually going on my to-do. You can go to the wreckers, can't you? They'll sell them. Space saver for the Maz. The top six is next on the show. YouTube yesterday turned 17. It's been around 17 years. 17 years

and the top six things YouTube has taught us in that time. From the Panoramic ZM Think Tank, this is the top six. Hi there. The top six today, the top six things we can learn from YouTube. 17 years old, YouTube. What was the first ever video uploaded? I wonder.

Was it a how to Fix Something? Video on YouTube. I was 15. Me at the Zoo is the first video ever uploaded to YouTube on April 23rd, 2005. Still on there. What zoo was it? Does it say what zoo?

It's the San Diego Zoo. Oh, good zoo. They've got escalators. It doesn't look like a good zoo. No, it's a good zoo. The elephants are just behind like wire. Yeah. I mean, it's a zoo.

I mean, no zoo's a good zoo. It's a zoo, yeah. No, it's not the wild. Have you got my line up? Why can't we hear what this guy's... All right, so here we are in front of the elephants. Cool thing about these guys is that they have this guy oh my god come on does he not do cuts yeah come on where's his opening title sequence all he said was how many views has it had

this is 228 million views oh wow oh my god. Is that because everyone's like, I wonder what the first video is. Yeah. And then they watch it. And then they do what we did and just stop it. So, yeah, all he said was the really cool thing about these guys is they've got really, really long trunks and that's all there is to say about that. That's news to no one that an elephant has a trunk. Jord was the...

Okay, so Jord has only uploaded one video ever. It's me at the zoo 17 years ago. 2.8 million subscribers to the Jord channel. Everybody's waiting for the follow-up. Everyone's waiting for the sequel. Does he work at YouTube? Was he just like some guy testing it? Has he monetized?

I've got so many questions about Jord. He redid it in 2018. Same guy went back to the zoo. Oh, was that like the something anniversary? Yeah, right. Yeah, where are they now? They didn't even do it on the anniversary day. No.

Oh, they did it five, yeah, 13 years later, which. Huh. Yeah, 17 years of YouTube. It's a lot of how-to videos. Oh, yeah. A lot of makeup tutorials. A lot of makeup shoots. A lot of cooking vids for me.

Well, the top six things YouTube has taught us is destroyed by these two who just listed three of the top six things. We like to keep Vaughn on his toes. I reckon I could round out

the whole sex and then we'll pass it over. Number six. The things we've learnt from YouTube in 17 years. A kid can start opening toys on camera and one day have a range

of his own toys. How much is that shithead kid worth? He's got his own TV show now. Millions of dollars, eh? Ryan's world is what he does now. It's more than just a toy review. The parents, right?

The mum's the true star of the show. The dad and the kid are dead weight. If you've ever watched this, the mum's the absolute champ of the show. Yeah, right. The dad and the kid are dead weight. If you've ever watched this, Mum's the absolute champ. They've had 48 billion views as of November 21st, 2021. I don't have his net worth. They're probably not keen to print an eight-year-old's net worth. Yeah, it's a bit off of that. It's not really his, is it?

$100 million. He was born in 2011. He's 10 and he it? $100 million. He was born in 2011. He's 10 and he's worth $100 million. Why are we even at work, Abe? What have you done with your life? What have I done? Nothing. What are your kids worth, Vaughn?

Not that much. Yeah. Lazy. Get off their ass. I'm going to get home and whip them. Yeah, you should. Number five on the list of the top six things we can learn from YouTube is when Paul Walker dies, the song from the movie will get watched a lot.

That's the Wiz Khalifa. Charlie Puth? Yeah. Yeah, 5.3 billion times for that one. But that would have also been like a big song when anyone dies. Yeah. Right, you just play that over and over again. Yeah, yeah, it's a funeral song.

It's an funeral song Yeah It's a modern day Bloody classic For funerals Number four on the list Of the top six things YouTubers taught us How to fix things

But then break them worse We see that And then just order them Yeah Yeah Order a new one Of AliExpress Which would have some

Interesting stats as well Number three on the list Of the top six things We can learn from YouTube is 17-year anniversary. I looked up the most viewed videos on YouTube and one, a very popular category, comes from an Indian production company that has a YouTube channel

where they take nursery rhymes, not traditional English nursery rhymes, but other nursery rhymes, and sing them in English, and then they become very, very popular. For example, the Johnny, Johnny, yes, Papa, eating sugar, no, Papa, open wide, mm-mm-mm,

something, something, ha-ha-ha. So he did get sugar. He was eating sugar. He was eating sugar. I mean, we all ate sugar straight out of a container when we were kids, right? Oh, absolutely. Get up there, the one that's there out of the container with our kids, right? Oh, absolutely. Get up there, the one that's there for the cups of tea and stuff,

and you just, mum can tell because when you put the spoon in your mouth and you put it back in, the sugar then sticks to the spoon because it got wet in your mouth. I used to, you know, when you go to a cafe and you get those little squares of butter, and then I would pour the coffee sugar on top of it and just eat butter and sugar. As a kid? As a kid. Because, you know, when you do the baking,

you'd whip the butter and sugar and then you'd eat it and be like, oh, my God, that's the best flavour in the world. I think I put two and two together and was like, there's a knob of butter, there's some granulated sugar. That's not the same, though, is it? Poured it on top. Because it's not whipped. It's not whipped.

It's not whipped. I mean, speaking of that, could be number two on the list of the top six things we've learned from YouTube in 17 years. How to cook things. As simple as butter and sugar. Meal done. Do you know what? We were making muffins the other day.

What were they? Yeah, they didn't have icing on them, so they were muffins. Yeah. And the girls were like, oh, no, you can't eat the mixture. It's got raw egg in it. Oh, yeah? I was like, where did you hear that? And they're like, oh, when we've seen people cooking on YouTube and stuff.

I was like, we know where our eggs come from. Yeah, eat it. It's not America. And then I was almost like, rather than erring on the side of caution as a parent, I was like, get a finger in there. Absolutely. Get a finger in there. This is when cakes, muffins, anything you're about to bake,

this is what it tastes best. It's best. The dough is always better. The dough is always better. The batter is always better. Yeah. God, I used to crack an egg into my smoothies. A raw egg. Yeah.

When I was better. I'd get it at games. Yeah. But that's like... Raw egg. If you know where your eggs come from, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. God, what's this generation going to be like?

Weak. Soft. Soft. Not going to take any risks, are they? No. No. God, you're about to scare them away with an egg yolk No. God, you better scare them away with an egg yolk. I don't know.

Chase them away with an egg. And number one of the top six things we can learn from YouTube, and we have learned from YouTube, number one, the traditional structure of the shark family. You see you have the baby shark. Yep. Do-do-do-do-do-do. And then you've got mama shark.

Do-do-do-do-do-do. Yep. Daddy shark. Do-do-do-do-do Mama Shark. Daddy Shark. Grandpa Shark. So you've got the... And multi-generational living there as well. They were all still living together when the song was written. That is today's top six.

I reckon this is good news. Because, you know, there's been lots of chit-chat, I guess, over time about the benefits of red wine. Do you know what it is? Trolling news sites all the time. It's coffee, chocolate, wine. One day it's good for you. The next day it's bad for you.

The next day it's bad. Well, I'm still not going to clarify that for you. No, meth always bad. No, meth always good. Always bad. Really? Yeah. No, come on.

I'm on a health buzz right now. But so there's a study out of Iowa State University that is not only, because they're saying that, you know, when people say like drinking wine is good for you or drinking wine is bad for you, but they never properly like break it down into the,

they're like, people say drinking is bad, but they go, they don't break it down into the types, like beer, cider, wine, spirits. So this university has done this and what they found was that drinking any variety of wine,

and here's the good news, is better for you than consuming beer, which we know, but spirits as well. Really? Yeah, because I always, when I'm doing a diet, A vodka soda? A vodka soda. Yeah.

The old skinny biatch. I always feel better after drinking vodka sodas because you drink so much water. Yeah, but still drinking spirits has a higher level, like a higher risk of creating visceral fat, which is the bad fat. Belly fat. Yeah, that real yellowy belly fat

than drinking either white or red. What does it say about Prosecco? Because that's my fave. Well, they've just separated this one into your reds and your whites. Okay. So I'm going to say I'm going to about Prosecco? Because that's my fave. Well, they've just separated this one into your reds and your whites. Okay. So I'm going to say I'm going to include Prosecco. In white.

Champagne in the white. Which actually, because then they go, of course, we already know that red wine has lots of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. And then everyone's like, and white wine's trash. White wine gets you white wine drunk. Yeah. But white wine actually helps with higher bone mineral density. Oh, good.

Oh, so it's like milk. Thank you, Vaughan. It is simply just like milk. Well, osteoporosis is a problem that affects everybody, but more predominantly females. So I would say, Dr. Vaughan speaking, have your glass of Chardonnay today. And drink it too.

So they look this, and the study they did is on people age, from age 40 to 80 that are at higher risk of gaining fat and dying, basically. Yeah, right. And they said that if you were to go in your older years, if you were to reach for any drink, let it be a white wine. So no whiskey for you. Whiskey, terrible. On the Chardonnays from now on, please.

I'll drink whiskey aged in a Chardonnay barrel. You can do that. I don't think that counts. Yeah. You can do that. Or you can get a red wine aged in a whiskey barrel. Whatever. Or you could just pop a shot of whiskey in your whiskey barrel. Whatever. Or you could just pop a shot of whiskey in your red wine.

I've done. And then I'll have a white wine as well because I need that bone density. That's a rosé. If you add red to wine, you've created rosé. With a whiskey. Yeah, with a whiskey shot. Let's call it an Irish rosé. The Irish rose.

Boom, done. Red wine improves gut health, lowers diabetes. Oh, daddy boy. Lowers diabetes risk. Oh Irish Rose. Boom. Done. Red wine improves gut health, lowers diabetes. Oh, daddy boy. Lowers diabetes risk. Oh, God. Oh, God. You got that? Yummy, yummy.

Well, today's episode of Yummy Yummy taking a look at a new food item. This looks so delicious. So Cadbury and Tip Top have... It worked for me. Did it work for you? Yeah, it got there. I was just calling out Karlyn because she gave a crap link, but then it sorted itself out.

It's a perfectly working link. Yeah, I've got it now. Yeah, right, okay. So Cadbury and Tip Top have a new creation, and it is the Boysenberry Ripple chocolate. Wait, so what's the space on the Boysenberry Ripple ice cream? Yeah, so... I would never get Boysenberry Ripple ice cream,

because to me, that's the trumpet. Yeah, but that's one of their most popular trumpets in ice cream. Yeah, trumpet. Yeah, totally. Yeah, if you feel for a ripple, you go for trumpet. No, you're going to go for trumpet. Trumpet, I'm getting the mint one. Yeah, same.

Mint chocolate chip isn't a fully the mint one. Yeah, same. Mint chocolate chip isn't a fully available all-time Trumpet, though. Isn't it? I think they limited edition that one. I'm getting one of each. But this is, so the Tip Top Boysenberry Ripple is dairy milk, dairy milk milk chocolate. It looks like a marble.

Do you remember marble chocolate? Do they still do that? Yeah, it's marble. Dairy milk, this is what it says,airy milk milk chocolate and dream white chocolate blend. So marbles. Swirly. With boysenberry flavoured jelly and vanilla cream in the middle. That's the ripple. True out or is the boysenberry jelly playing the caramel role in the caramel?

Oh, yes. And then the cream's on top. Okay. Covered in a marbled chocolate. I'd eat it. I'd try it. I'd absolutely have a hoon chocolate. I'd eat it. I'd try it. I'd absolutely have a hoon on that. Twist my arm.

I'd have a go. Yum. We could have broken this news weeks ago. Do you not remember I sent this to the group chat? Yeah, but now that Karwin's sent it, it's official. Sometimes a few sent through is not appropriate. I didn't always click on the links that you sent. And Karwin's Gen Z.

So you've got to wait until Gen Z are ready to digest this. Care about it. Because otherwise it could be too big, the news. Too much for them to handle. They're a fragile generation. They'll be rocked. You've been before, an egg. We can't be here.

We talk about the fact that Gen Z can be rocked by a raw egg. Yeah. We'll be promoting Werther's Originals of the links that you send. Yeah. Oh, look. Werther's Originals got a new flavor. What we need is Dixie D'Amelio to eat something

and then we can talk about it. Right. Or Charlie D'Amelio. One of the D'Amelios. Is that right? Just checking in with Gen Z. I'm just saying I had to scoop about this new Boysenberry ripple.

Yeah, okay, Boomer. Weeks ago. Okay, Boomer. Weeks ago. Okay, Boomer. It's in the group chat. It's available in stores now, according to me. Okay, great.

It's available in stores now, and now we care about it. Cadbury Tip Tops, Boysenberry Ripple, shakala. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. And we're hearing that Elon Musk, who offered to buy Twitter for a bajillion dollars. 66 billion New Zealand dollars. So just shy of a bajillion. I think that's just a couple of bucks.

That is ridiculous. I think 100 billion is a jillion. A bajillion. I think we've skipped trillion and gone straight to bajillion. So about 66 billion dollars. It sounds like Twitter have accepted that offer for Elon Musk to now own and control Twitter. Does that mean Trump

will be back? This is why he's doing it. He wants freedom of speech. Yeah. Well, have you ever looked at those things that explain to you how much money a billion dollars is? And then the jump between a billion and a million.

Yeah. Or a hundred million. Yeah, so people are like, millions and millions of dollars is heaps of money. And they're like, wait till you find out how much a billion is. And then they break it down into how many million or how far a billion dollars could go. It's crazy. So 66 billion dollars. It's a thousand millions, right?

It's a steal. Traditionally, it was a million millions. That's numerical, but in currency, they talk about it being a thousand millions. Yes. So $66,000 million is how much he paid for it. $66,000 million. It's a loss.

Today's Silly Little Poll. Do you know your partner's salary or how much they earn if they are a contractor? I would have assumed this was an open thing, but I guess money's hard to talk about. Yeah, and some, I know ages ago we talked about, because I always remember this, we talked about like when women earn more than men, some men hate it. Do you remember when we talked about that? It blows my mind. I know.

It's 2022. They just feel like they're, I don't know. Emasculated. Oh, dear. Wow. 89% of people said, yeah, I do know my partner's salary. And 11% of people said, no, they don't. That's because they're earning, like, way too much, right? And they don't want to tell their partner

yeah yeah and they're like how much do you earn and you're like 50, 55 yeah because they don't want to have to pay like more it's just Porsche in the garage yeah

how far into your relationship did you open the finances open the books immediately in terms of joining like finances no no no I mean just like telling

Aaron how much money. We were at university, so I earned whatever the student loan was. Right. And then when you got paid work, you'd come home and be like, oh my God, I'm going to get paid this much. I got a gig. I got a gig. It was easy for us because we were both contractors working in like creative arts.

In the arts. In the arts. In the arts. An artist. So like, yeah, you'd always celebrate getting gigs because it's hard to get jobs. You'd be like, how much? You'd be like, $10. Yeah.

$300 for 10 weeks. Yeah, I was busking today. I got $8. Oh, my God. This is great. Let's go out for dinner. So, yeah, we were really transparent straight away. Right.

What about you guys? You and Sade? I can't remember. I don't think it was ever, like, a secret, but it was also, like, she didn't ask, but when we first got together, not much at all. Not much at all.

I wonder if that influences it. Well, some messages in from people. Lisa says, no idea. We've been married for 32 years. No. What? He has his own account,

and my wages go into the joint house account. What? Lisa. But then what's he go into the joint house account. What? Lisa. But then what's he putting into the joint account? Lisa, what's he putting in? He must be putting in the same amount at least, right? Sounds like someone's got an escape account. An escape account.

No idea. 32 years married. Carly. I'd get that well updated, Lisa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then go on a walk down a treacherous path. Indeed. Carly says, after being together for 15 years,

married for five, I've never ever asked him. Also, these are from the people that don't know. He's financially comfortable enough and he sorts all the bills. So I've never had a need to ask. I work part time and look after the kids. So she's going like,

I'll run the household. I hate paying the bills. I hate paying the bills. What are you paying? You don't, you just, it's all set up automatically. Yeah, I pay the bills. I hate paying the bills. It's all set up automatically. I don't pay anything. It all just goes and happens.

What do you sit down with your statements and make it a bank transfer? Go through, keep all the receipts. Can I pay 50 on this card and 50 on this? Ashley says, I mean, don't get me wrong, he's told me, but all I remember is that he makes more than me.

Just can't remember how much. Taylor, no, because I don't care. He makes his, I make mine. We go halves on everything. I'd just be so curious. I'd want to know, yeah, just purely out of interest. Yeah. Yes, I do know because Casey says because I manage all of the money, would be broke

if he had access to it. Or Becca, I helped him negotiate his salary. Oh, okay. You know, when you say I've been offered a job, how much do they offer you? XYZ? Oh, God, no. Push for ABC. Betsy, we have kids, a house

and therefore a joint bank account. No hiding there. Very transparent. Well, it would go back to joint bank account. No hiding there. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Very transparent. Well, it would go back to Lisa, though. 32 years married. Oh, I know. And still, she doesn't know. Mari says he's never told me.

In fact, I think he has lots of secrets. Mind you, we are 33 years in. Mari. I think he has lots of secrets But do you know what? It's working 33 years Yeah, I guess Everyone's got secrets

Yeah I've got a chamber of secrets And I've got a prisoner of Azkaban And Fletch is the half-blood prince It's Harry Potter. I don't get those references. Because you know I have only seen one Harry Potter. Yeah.

You saw one Harry Potter. No, I've seen two Harry Potters. No, I've seen two thirds of the first one. Yeah, I haven't seen them either. I've still got a third of the first one. Because I was like, I'll watch these. It was all right. It was fun though.

It was good. It's a bit much. Fledged joint. I needed to go to bed. The second to last movie. Yeah. And he was like, who's that? What's happening here?

Oh, Christ. Oh, get out. No. If you're going to drop into a franchise, you've got to start at the top. No, no, no, no. Drop into the sixth or seventh. Well, I had to watch that movie because of the interview. Oh, okay.

Well, that's fair. Oh, dear. Next on the's fair. Oh, dear. Next on the show, I got, I've had this thing, right? I've held on to this thing for ages. And I finally found

where it went. I'll tell you the whole sordid event next. You're such a hoarder. Not at the moment. I've got to skip. Oh, my gosh. It's so much fun having a skip.

Oh, I might have a little bit to go. No, get your shit out of my skip. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. So this thing, this little plastic rectangular thing showed up one day. A bit. A bit. Yeah.

And it looked like it went into something. Like, you know the things that go into the bottom of chairs? The plastic bits that stop the steel from hitting the ground and, like, scratching your floors? Like, it's a, what do you call that? A plug? A plug or a bung or a plastic cap? Bung? Yeah, cap. That's what I was thinking of.

So, what? I've got a drawer for those things that just, I don't know what they are. I've got a cap plastic drawer. Yeah, yeah. Just a drawer of crap. Yeah. So, don't know what they are. I've got a cat plastic drawer. Just a drawer of crap. Yeah, so this thing showed up ages ago, and I was like, where are you from? Now, it was inside the house. Okay.

So I was like, you're a house-based plastic plug cat. Well, this is a fun game. We're inside the house. I find they're always on the windowsill. That's where our plastic bits always turn up. My ones on the windowsill come from the end of my blinds. They fall out the end of your blinds. So I actually glued mine in.

I was going to say, well, you only fall out once and then you glue something like that in. I think it was just on the floor. But then we've got a golden retriever, so wherever you find things doesn't necessarily mean that's where they fell Yeah Because they'll pick something up and carry it around the house And then put it down and forget about it

Have their fun with it So this thing is like rectangular And it's been pestering me Because I did, I put it in the drawer Not in the clutter drawer Which is the top drawer In the second drawer With your tin

foils and your baking papers. So every time I open the tin foils and the baking papers and the glad zip slide bags. That's no drawer for this. That should have been in another drawer. No, I wanted it there because I didn't want it lost amongst the clutter. I wanted to be, I thought I need to be constantly

reminded of this thing. So every time I'm getting something out of that drawer. It sounds like the end of outdoor furniture. No. Okay. Because our outdoor furniture doesn't have ends. Okay. I'm more than willing.

End of a chair? I know the answer. End of a chair? No, because we don't have those sorts of chairs. What about like clicking onto a vacuum cleaner? Not a vacuum cleaner attachment. What area of the house was it found? You give us a category.

No, I found it in the lounge. It was just on the floor. I remember when I found it, it was on carpeted floor. Is it something? So every time I open this drawer, it's... No, because our table's a big wooden thing. It doesn't have the... Something you'd use every day? An item in the... doesn't have the... Something you'd use every day?

An item in the... Is it part of an item you'd use every day in the house? No. Oh, it's not. It was a guest item. An item that guests start at the house. Oh, 800 times a day. What do you reckon it is?

You've got to tell us. So I've been cleaning out, because we're getting a new garage, I've been cleaning out the garage. Yes. And in the process of cleaning out the garage, a lot of things have been traveling around. Now, I want this. This bung was found months ago, pre-garage clean out.

Okay. So one of the things was I found all these batteries and I took them inside and I put them in the drawer. And when I was opening the drawer to see where I should put the batteries, they ended up in the clutter drawer, by the way. I opened up the other drawer and I saw them in the drawer. And when I was opening the drawer to see where I should put the batteries, they ended up in the clutter drawer, by the way. Yeah. I opened up the drawer and I saw that thing, the bong. And I was like, you've had your time.

Oh, this is it. I'm cleaning out, baby. Yeah, right. I'm doing a proper clean out. You haven't needed it. So obviously it's not important. I've got to skip. So you've got to fill the skip.

Every little bit counts if you're going to fill the skip. I love seeing a neighbour with a skip and just chucking some stuff in there. Yeah, yeah. You miss rubbish day. You're like, whoop, fill the skip. So you've got to fill the skip. I'm going to fill the skip. Every little bit counts if you're going to fill the skip. I love seeing a neighbour with a skip and just chucking some stuff in there. Yeah, yeah. You miss rubbish day. You're like, whew, into the skip. Someone's doing some renos. Yeah. Always.

When we were doing renos that time, we had a skip. We looked out the window and someone was going through the skip. And I said, are you all right? Because it was inside our fence. So they'd seen the skip. They'd hopped through the gate. So they were trespassing. I said, are you all right?

And they're like, we're just looking for some bits I'm like bits of what and they were like wood scraps recycle upcycle yeah yeah I was like just ask

yeah yeah it is weird um where was I batteries inside bong back in hand

walking outside I tossed it in the skip goodbye I was like goodbye walked back into the garage I got in rearranging, and found my spirit level. You know, like the...

Yes. Yeah. The levels where you can hang pictures and make a level. And guess what it's missing from the end? The thing. It's plastic bong. Literally, this thing has been,

every time I open that drawer, it's staring me in the face, and I just find it like, nah. Chucked it, walked back to the garage, maybe two to three minutes tops I pull the spirit level off and I touch the end of it

I'm like that should have a plastic cap to it spin it to the other end one plastic cap remaining it must have fallen out when I took the spirit level inside to make sure something like shelves or something

were going to be sitting level does that mean that your spirit level is no longer level? Because one end's got a cap on it and the other doesn't? No, because the cap slips within and just pokes out the end. Oh, okay. It doesn't affect its side. You know that your phone has a level on it, eh?

Does it? Yeah. Yeah, I don't trust that. No, I know that. Why don't you trust it? Well, because your phone's got buttons on both sides as well. I just don't trust the phone level. Is that why my TV's off by a button?

Yeah, every time I go to your house, I'm like, I feel a why my TV's off by a button? Yeah, every time I go to your house I'm like, I feel a bit sick everything's on the piss. Well, it's because of the volume button. Yeah, so now

It's close enough. And you didn't put it in the bin, you put it in the skip. I put it in the skip. Did you get in the skip? It's gone. Because I chucked it

and then it went tink, tink, tink, down right to the bottom. Tink, tink, tink, tink, right to the bottom. I'm not climbing in the skip. New spirit level then? Probably a new spirit level.

Now what, we're getting you for your birthday next year? A lovely big spirit level that doesn't have dumb, stupid plastic caps on the end. Fletch Vaughan and Hayley's Community Notices. All the weird and wonderful things that you see on your local Facebook page, Community Notices. Yeah. This one from the Kandala Community Notice. This is one of those place names that's always puzzled me about New Zealand. Kandala.

Kandala and Brindoon. Brindoon. Just because they sound funny, is that what it is? Brindoon. No, Kandala sounds like an Australian suburb to me. Kandala. I used to live in Kandala. What's the...

Is it named after...? I have no idea. Well, maybe when you live somewhere you should know. I know, I only dabbled. I wasn't from Kandala. My parents moved there and then I lived with them for like, you know, eight months or something. I mean, I know I live in Auckland.

It's up the back. Bruce Auckland. Who founded Auckland. Bruce Auckland. Who founded Auckland in 1720. It's named after Kandala in Rajas. Kandala, which is... Is it Indian?

Yes. Yeah, that's what I always assumed Kandala was. Oh, I didn't assume. But now that you say it, of course it is. Yeah. Yeah. The name may have come from a homestead

built in the area in 1884 by Captain James Andrew who had recently returned from India and had been consoled in Baghdad. There you go.

Goodness. So yeah, there you go. It's named after a place in India, Kandala. He was all over the show colonising,

wasn't he? Yes. Woo wee! Try to keep up with that colonising. You won't be able to. He's everywhere. Well, the Candala Community Notice Board, Camille writes, my children went down the slide at Narville Kids Playground this morning

and told me that there were naked ladies and boys' private parts with marker on the inside of the slide. Oh. I went down the slide to check, and the drawings were very explicit and graphic and drawn on multiple sections on the inside of the slide to check, and the drawings were very explicit and graphic, and drawn on multiple sections on the inside of the slide. Very large as well. I went back home, got some varnish remover, and cleaned them off.

But I thought I'd leave a note here warning parents to maybe do a test slide now and again before letting your kids go down the slide. Oh, and it's just a bit of fun, isn't it? Just a slow mum slide, using your feet as brakes. Yep. Just to check. Have a look around. Check for any poo smears, any razor blades.

Don't want poo. Actually, you know what? Send the kids. Send the kids. You don't want a poo smear. Give it a quick one-on-one for a poo smear at the top or the bottom. Yeah. Wait for some other kids to go down a poo smear at the top or the bottom. Yeah. We'll wait for some other kids to go down first.

Yeah, send the neighbour's kids down. Let's go to Huntley. This one was sent in many times over the weekend. Personally, I know this was sent to my Instagram, maybe five. Lisa from Huntley, this is the Huntley New Zealand buy-sell page, writes, designer! Exclamation mark, exclamation mark. Don't offer anything below 50. Designer.

Nothing below 50. This is nice. My now ex-husband purchased these for me on our last anniversary. And that's when the picture you'll see below, three pairs of knickers. Designer, though. Designer knickers. The description goes on to say, well worn, but well taken care of. No longer want as they remind me too much of him.

Please pay me if interested. We paid $90 per pair. Far out. Are they like lacy, fancy lingerie or something? Or just with that G-Bangers? Gruts. Oh, yeah, okay. Oh, God, you want a bit more fabric for $90.

Yeah, and the G-Banger's touching everything from front to back. It is literally in you. My big problem with... If you go for a quick walk, it could... Yeah. Upsy-doodle-dandy. And it's touching the butthole the whole time.

I've got a big problem with it. It's touching everything there. It's touching everything the whole time. Front and back. Yeah, cover a big problem with the period. It's touching everything there. Front and back. Yeah, cover sure but the touching. Anyway, if you're into that,

I'm imagining the person's going to be paying $50. I mean, people are, aren't they? Yeah, they're not going to be paying $50 to wear them though,

aren't they? No. Well, they won't accept any offers under $50. Maybe wear them at a truck stop. Yeah. When Daryl stops

for a pie and a V and he puts on his pretty knickers to remind himself he's a good looking boy. He's a good looking boy. Don Yeah. When Daryl stops for a pie and a V and he puts on his pretty knickers to remind himself he's a good looking boy. He's a good looking boy. Don't king shame Daryl. I'm not going to king shame him.

I'm not king shaming Daryl. I'm saying that's what he does in the privacy of his own Kenworth. It's none of my business. Pop into the Scania sleeper and put on

your pretty knickers Daryl. There is a truck driver called Daryl listening right now that's refusing wearing lacing panties. Get on the CB.. There is a truck driver called Daryl listening right now that's... Wearing his lacing panties. Refusing wearing lacing panties. Yeah, get on the CB. If you know a truck driver called Daryl and he's on the radio,

get on the radio now and ask him if he's wearing his pretty knickers. Yeah, grab a ducky. Has anyone commented to Poo Chase? I couldn't see that. It was just the screen cap to include the statement and the knickers took up the entire screen cap. This one from the Woku community, Grapevine. If anyone went to Dave and Maureen's Liquorland tonight,

I love that Dave and Maureen have bought into the Liquorland franchise, but they've kept Dave and Maureen on the phone. Dave and Maureen's Liquorland tonight, and I'm missing a black shoe. It fell out of your car in the car park. We have it in store. It's not a cheap one, so you need to tell us what shoe it is or bring in its mate as proof. Oh, yeah, nice.

Oh, yeah, makes sense. Yeah, so if you lost a shoe there in Wauku. What are we talking about? Mi Piace. Maybe. Well, he didn't give the brand because then it would be easier to bluff. Bluff, and there would be like an amputee in the area that only needs the one. Yeah, and he'd be like, don't have the other one.

Yeah, no game to play. Kim writes on the Newmarket Parnell Rimuera Community Group. Hi, guys. We have a turtle who has escaped and is on the run in Remus. No. We're right next to the Rimuera Library.

The turtle's name is Ariel and is a Reeves turtle the size of a small hand and has a yellow and green underbelly and features. Call me if you hear anything. She's likely to have burrowed under a plant somewhere nearby. Her mate if you hear anything. She's likely to have burrowed under a plant somewhere nearby.

Her mate's really missing her. Missing turtle. Missing turtle alert. That's what blows my mind about people. The turtles go missing. These things move. Yeah. You know, the turtle and the hare, it's a slow mover.

You think they go slow, but they're quite fast. They do. They can really honk along. And from the Nelson Community Group, did anybody on Toy Toy Street order some firewood that was due to be delivered today? I've arrived home to a large pile of drummers blocking my entire driveway, but I haven't ordered any. Worst part is I don't even have a fireplace.

Oh, dear. So you can't even steal it and put it down the back? Nah. Molly then does comment, fiasco, all sorted, belonged a couple of doors down. So they just dumped it. That's why it's important to have good, bold numbers on your letterbox, you know, letting people know your street number.

And one more from the Mount Maunganui Notice Board. Nicole writes, I'm hoping to do this swim on Saturday. This would have been, oh, yeah, she may have got it done. I'd love to know if she got it done at the weekend. On Saturday or Sunday, April 23rd, I'd love for someone to accompany me in a kayak for safety with gels and a drink bottle. It's about 7Ks.

Oh, Jesus. So a good couple of hours in the kayak. Yeah. I'd be forever grateful and there'd be some bearsies in it for you. Dear me. Now, this is a swim I was unaware of at Mount Maunganui. Is it one of the ocean swims? No, that's longer than the ocean swim they do down there.

So you go out. You leave from the base of the mount. Yeah. On the boat ramp side. Yeah. If you're familiar with it, the harbour side. Pilots Bay. Pilots Bay, yes, correct. Pilots Bay by the boat ramp right at the foot of the mount. Yeah. On the boat ramp side. Yeah. Are you familiar with the harbour side? Pilot's Bay. Pilot's Bay, yes, correct. Pilot's Bay by the boat ramp right at the foot of the mount. Yeah. A lot of jellyfish

there. And around the mount. Yeah. And then when you get out, you don't come back in at the mount. You keep going. Yeah. Past Leisure Island. Yeah. And then you do a little jut around the island. Yeah. That I'm sure has a name. That's not Rabbit Island. No, Rabbit Island's at Ponga Matar. And then back

to the main beach over the top. Why are you smirking? Because I saw the... The shape of the... Yeah, big sea and bee. The shape of the sea and bee. Do you know what that swim's called? Stroking the monster.

Oh, my God. I didn't even know that. Yeah, big. My God. There is no taper. No, it does not taper. There is no taper. Big. No, it does not taper. It's just a strong jut.

Wow. That's just fascinating to me that somebody drew that ocean swim, saw what it looked like, and then this one's called... Amazing. The Sea Monster or Stroking the Monster. Because stroking, because you're swimming. And monster, because it's 7Ks, it's a long one. Of course, and that's the only reason why.

That's absolutely the only reason why. Absolutely the only reason why. Those are today's community notices. If you see anything on your local Facebook page, you can screen cap it and send it to us, FVHZM on Facebook. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. I mean, this feels dangerous to me. So, on average, we dip into our medicine cabinet or medicine drawer or basket.

I've got a drawer. Yeah, big drawer. I've got a basket at the moment. The situation's not great. What about just a basket of, like, cold and flu and lozenges? It's a nightmare. We had a whole cupboard growing up. Yeah, yeah.

It's still there in my parents' house. It's this massive cupboard full of everything. What was that stuff? Objects. Eyewash was always on the top line. And there was like cough syrups and a big box of bandages. Well, it's pretty likely that a lot of the things in that cupboard are expired. Oh, 100%.

Especially if they've been there since your childhood, Vaughn. Yeah, diarrhoea medicine. Pink diarrhoea medicine. Oh, yeah. Pink diarrhoea medicine. Yeah. Sometimes you just say you had diarrhoea just because you want a little taste of that medicine to see if it tasted better than you remembered, but it never did. Well, three quarters of people surveyed here said that they forget to replace expired products.

They just sit there and they'll just keep adding more things and they'll just sit there. But 55% of people don't even check. They're taking meds. Yeah, they're taking medicines that are well expired. I once got told by my doctor and I had some antibiotics, you know, that I didn't take or something like that. Yeah, you should always finish the entire course. I was like, oh, I've got some antibiotics at home for this thing.

She's like, yeah, they'll be fine. And that expired like two years earlier. Yeah, but don't you want fresh ones? Like you're at the doctor. They can just give you. Don't be a snob. I can have crusty old antibiotics. What are antibiotics?

No idea. Like you mean like just ground up. I'll do some online research into medical stuff. This has not gone badly for anybody lately. No, no. No, absolutely not. But are they living? That's a dumb question.

Surely the meds that have expiry dates, they're good for at least another couple. They're just being safe, right? Well, most people it's pain relief like your Panadols and the likes. But they all have expiries of like 2026 and stuff. Yeah, cough and cold medicine.

Right. Suncare, like sunblock. If you get to the part where the condoms have expired and you've not used them, it's the same with, like, headache stuff. You're not living life right. Yeah, you could apologize. Yeah. I mean, what? It's a condom.

What could possibly happen? That's a bit of fun. But I remember cleaning out my, like, the drawer of all the medicine stuff. Yeah. And then, like, actually looking at the expired ads. I checked out so much stuff. So much stuff. I was like, the drawer of all the medicine stuff. Yeah. And then, like, actually looking at the expired ads, I checked out so much stuff. So much stuff. I was like, whoa.

And I was taking some of it. Another top one is multivitamins and vitamins. And you always know. See, I think that's multivitamin company wants you to buy more. Big Multi wants you to buy more. I get a little bit wet. You know, if you might have, like, at some point, biffed the silica packet.

Oh, yeah, okay. And they get a bit congealed. Yeah, yeah. I like my multivitamins slightly swollen from moisture. Yeah, yeah, a little bit soft and squishy. But, yeah, people are popping these expired medications all the time. And so we wanted to ask you, what did you have that was expired? Like, are we taking food as well?

Yeah, we had some expired chicken. Like, how expired? One day. Food's different. It's best before. The best before and expiry's a different thing. Expiry suggests it's done. It's done.

Best before suggests there's some leeway. It's getting a little bit wet. It's getting a little bit wet. It's getting a little bit green. Like green milk, green type milk, couple of days past best before, a week. That's fine. Give it a sniff test. Yogurt? Oh, it's already sour. Yeah, yogurt and cheese.

You know it's bad when you open the jar of yogurt though and it goes pfft. That's not carbonated and it's fizzed itself. Yeah, maybe you took some medication and... It didn't work because it had expired? Yeah, like these antibiotics that I'm still holding on to. Or, yes, some expired food, expired sunblock. I mean, you've got third-degree burns.

Oh, yeah, I didn't even think about it. It doesn't last forever. No, because it's got an active ingredient, right? Yeah. Sunscreen. Oh, okay. All right, well, yeah, maybe you got burnt using expired sunscreen. 0800 dials at M is the number.

Give us a call now. You can text as well, 9696. When did you realise you'd had something expired? Play ZM. McCafe. Great brewers to make coffee on the go. Play ZM. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

It's eight minutes away from eight. So 55% of people, it turns out, according to a new study, are using expired medications. Yeah. Because they just sit in the cabinet or the drawer, the medicine drawer. Or do you ever, like, get a medication and then you're like, this is going to be part of my routine, and then you get out of taking it, and then you find it again. You're like, oh, yeah, I'll have a bit of that again.

I don't know if that's a medication. I'd love an bit of that again. I don't know if that's how medication is. I'd love an example of that. Because if it's like a vitamin, I don't class vitamins as medication. No. As supplements. I know on medication, you're just like, yeah, I might get back into this medication. Get back on my antibiotic situation.

I had a medication that's like an ongoing medication. What was it? But then don't fall out of the habit of taking it then. I did, and. That's like an ongoing medication. But then don't fall out of the habit of taking it then. I did and I was like, oh, I can't be bothered and then I found the box of them and I was like, yeah, I'm going to start taking that again. It was quite good. That's not how medication That's absolutely not how medication. Okay, that's not. Jacob joins us. Jacob, what expired

thing were you using? Yeah, so I was off work for five weeks because I rolled my ankle real bad. It was a moon boot. It was a whole ordeal. I'd run out of the fresh tramadol. But my mum had some. What's that?

Did you have the free range organic tramadol? No. No. That fresh, straight off the farm, tramadol. No, I don't like opium. I don't think we're talking about opium.

Yeah, I just went straight to the source. So you had an old, what, an old pack of Trammies? Yeah, my mum had some. Yeah,

mum's always got the stuff. Yeah, yeah, mum's always got the stuff. She reckoned she was hallucinating on it when she took it, so she didn't use any of it. Right.

So I used some of that. It was about 10 years old. And it didn't work. Waited a couple of hours. Didn't work. So I popped a couple more. Oh, no. Jesus.

Never pop. It all kicked in at once. I went to sleep, woke up at 3 a.m. My heart was beating real slow, eh? Yeah. So this is really a PSA for why we don't use expired medications or double up doses. Did you hallucinate?

Did you ride the magic carpet? Yeah, not quite. My vision was a bit blurry. I don't mess with trammies, eh? I don't have to be in a very bad way. It's a real Hayley Sproul approach to medication.

A real loose approach. Might just get back into the habit of that. I'll have a couple of those. Thanks, Jacob. 0800 DALS. It doesn't have to be meant to anything you've used past this expiry date. Maybe you realise later it had expired.

0800 DALS. It's 9696 the text. Mascara. Does that expire? I said this to the Have You Been Paying Attention producers the other day. I was like, that mascara, you bought us that for season one. This is the fourth year we've been doing that show.

But does it expire? Makeup expires. Makeup, they've got a shelf of maximum 12 months, most of the time six. Really? What? Oh yeah. I had no idea. A lot of people listening will be like, oh my god, go and check. It's got a little jar and it says 6M. We're talking about checking expiry dates.

And not just on medication, on food, on anything. Yeah, it turns out 55% of people still have expired meds in the medicine cabinet. Yeah, and they're honing them down. Oh, Jacob on the trammies, the two-year-old trammies. Yeah, mum's tripping trammies. No, don't take the old ones. Has your mum still got much of her Thailand supply left or is that all gone? No, no, no.

Gone. Oh, gone. Those were Valiums though. I brought so much medication home from Oman when I went. So cheap over there. I had a suitcase full of it. I'm doing a prescription to get it back in. I think that's illegal.

No, they should have checked. Because mum just went and asked, the first time they ever went to Thailand, she went and asked for somebody to help her sleep. Oh, yeah. And they, I'm just guessing, maybe a little bit of a language barrier. Anyway, she got these pills that she described as her little triangle helpers. They were yellow, little yellow triangles. And then, like, she talked about them for years.

And when we went to Thailand, she's like, I have to get you to get me some more of my little triangle helpers. They've cracked down on that because of people like your mum. Yeah, and then my brother was, because he's a pharmacist, he was like, what are these? And, like, looked into them and they were a Valium. Oh, lovely. They are a little helper.

I was like, you can get those here. All the backpackers would take those And do the big 14 hour bus trips overnight Oh yes Sleep out Yeah Not have a worry in the world Crazy stuff

We went to Australia This is a text message And we went to Australia For an exercise with the Australian Army They gave us our rations packs And we Oh bacon and What's the flavour?

Cheese and bacon Oh yum No rash Rash Ration Rations Rations Ration Yeah And bacon and what's the flavour? Cheese and bacon. Oh, yum. No, rass. Rash. Rassian. Rassians. Rassians.

Rattire. Yeah. That was six years past their use by date. Oh, yeah. Wasn't that they found all the burnt out tanks, the Russian tanks and the supplies, and all their rations were like expired and potatoes and onions. Really old.

My granddad lived his life on expired food because he used to deliver food bank stuff, you know, so they'd get all the donated cans and cereals and stuff. What an additive skin. And then he would, like, put up the packages, give them to the needy as a good Christian man, and then his whole pantry was just, like, expired cornflakes, expired spaghetti. Oh, because he couldn't give them the expired stuff.

Expired tins, yeah, so he'd just eat it. And I go, how old did he live to? He lived in his 90s, didn't he? Yeah, yeah, 91. His fire's probably what kept him alive. Yeah. Nothing can touch you if you're living on expired food. Do you know those aren't even cherries in a fruit salad?

Are they? Yeah, no, we've talked about that. Cherries? There's only ever one in a jar. Yeah, no, but there's one, but it's an effing grape that's dyed red. It's a grape that's healed. Did you know that? What? Yeah, no, but there's one, but it's an effing grape that's dyed red. It's a grape that's healed. Did you know that?

What? Yeah, and dyed. It's a grape. It's a cherry controversy. It's not actually a cherry in the fruit salad tin. I mean, I could be wrong, but. The whole life is a lie. No, no.

They were using olives, but it was too obvious. Black olives. What are you talking about? That is a cherry. I was expecting sweet. It wasn't sweet. My husband gave me a massage with some body lotion one night. Oh, okay.

Things got intimate and there was some burning. We checked and the lotion had well expired. I wouldn't expect it. Maybe on the sensitive bits. Maybe that's where the... I'm confused. Why are you using lotion as a lubricant? Or are you using lubricant as a lotion?

They were using lotion for a massage. And then they got into the intimates lotion? No, no, no. They were using lotion for a massage and then they got into the intimates and it was all over them. Yeah, right. Thanks. God, I would certainly have to know using body lotions. Remember Sarah the housekeeper? We talked to her a little while ago. Everyone needs a little Sarah in their life.

She said, it blows my mind when someone asks me to clean out their medicine cabinets. The amount of medication that they have in their house has expired. Yeah. And people just hold on to it because I guess if you paid for it or you're given the restriction, you feel like throwing it out, it's the wrong thing to do. Yeah.

Yeah, lots of people, I made some mac and cheese at my dad's place. Found out the mustard powder had expired nine years previous. But that's just every herbal spice at your parents' house, right? It's fine. Oh, it's eternal. It's eternal. Yeah. And all those old things, those old tins sealed well,

so no moisture got in. No harm, no foul. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. When did we have this conversation? I knew as soon as I sent you this that you would roast me for this. I knew it. Pretty embarrassing. you this that you would roast me for this. I knew it. Pretty embarrassing.

Oh, it was Saturday Eve. Yes, it was. Saturday Eve. Big Saturday night, eh? Vaughn Smith popping down to get takeaways for the family. Yeah. Heard something on the radio. Thought my radio colleague would like to hear about that.

So I messaged him. I sent him a video. He sent me a video back that says. I can actually. There was no swearing in this audio. No, no, don't play that. No, what are you doing? Oh, my God.

Yes, that's right. That song was flying. I'd forgotten about that. Apple bottom jeans,ots with the fur The whole club was looking at her She hit the floor Next thing you know Low, low, low, low

It's a great song That's the song that was playing In the homazine That Fletch was in. He said, currently in a hummerzine. Accidentally. I said, what the F word is going on here? Yeah.

And then I just couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. I put it up on Instagram. I said, this is easily top five weirdest messages I would have expected to receive from Fletch. You're not a hummerzine guy, and then you are in the hummerzine bottle of bub. I said it was an accident.

How is it you don't accidentally hail a hummerzine? Like, oh, let's go to the next location. I didn't even plan a big night out. Because I didn't even think I'd be allowed in the Viaduct after our boozy Friday pre-Easter lunch. Jesus. That's another story in itself. So I went out with my friend Morgan, friend of the show.

I know, because she sent me a video saying, in case you need this, you might need to lighten it up, but you can see our boy having a real good sing-along in the end. So I'm thinking, Carween, we need to get that into the social media computer. Get that lit up. Get that on TikTok. She knows. She knew I was apprehensive.

So we went out and we had a glass of wine because we hadn't seen each other for a long time. And we had a glass and then we're like, well, it's cheaper to get a bottle. So we'll just get one bottle. And then it was a really nice sunny day. And we said, well, let's just have one more. Bottle. And then a friend was like, oh, my God, we're going to be next door at the same time you finish your second bottle of wine having our friend's birthday.

And I was like, oh, we can't join a friend's birthday. No, you don't know this friend. Because I don't, we didn't know them prior. I had met them once. Oh, wow. Why not hop in a hummus then? Why not go four ways on a hummus then? They absolutely insisted that we join them

and we did and then we had more wine. And the night got carried away. And then I said, it's my home time. Yes. To which they said, no, you can't. The hell it is. There's a hummazine coming and you have to come in it. We've got to go to this frat party

and we can get there the only way we know how is in a hummazine. We've got to go to this frat party and we can get there the only way we know how is in a hummerzine. We've got to go to the school ball. To the third form school ball. And I think that's why they got it because it was just extra and funny. And I was like, well, I don't want to do it. Yeah, I mean, we're crashing this birthday party. I feel bad enough as it is. And now you're about to take one of the... How many seats are in a hummusine?

Twelve? A lot. One of the twelve seats. Twelve or thirteen of us, yeah. And my friend Morgan, she was like, apparently she told my friend, I have to go on this hummusine. I can't imagine Morgan doesn't strike me as a hummusine. This is Morgan, sexologist Morgan. She's a woman of the earth.

She doesn't want to go on a big gas guzzling gross, big, tacky hummusine. She wanted to earth herself to the hummusine. Wow. And so she said, we've got to do this. And I was like, oh, all right. She earthed in the hummusine. Why in the hummusine?

I reluctantly went in it. Oh, bullshit. You opened the door open and you were the first gal in. And there was more wine and I was like, fine, I'll go on this and you went over it for an hour and that's what I missed. There was no destination, you just drove around. Do you know, I had so many people reply being like,

oh my god, is this downtown Auckland? They just drove past and literally the group of friends I'm with who I'm having dinner with were like, I bet those are the most obnoxious people you can imagine in that hummusine. No, every,ine. No, everyone was so lovely. No, they weren't. They were.

They were in the hummazine. Everyone at the party was lovely. Everyone's just looking at your hummazine full of jerks though. That's the reason hummazines have reflective mirrored tints on them. So you can deny you ever went in the hummazine. Well, I did it. I did it. You want to go in the hummazine. You do want to ever went in the armazen. Well I did it.

I did it. You want to go in the armazen. You want to go in the armazen. Off the top of my head top five reasons I'd hate armazen.

They're long. Too long. You don't like long vehicles. Too long. Can't take a corner. Well you're not driving it.

Going everywhere is just a nightmare. Two. Too many people. Three. Too loud. Four. The people. Three, too loud. Four, the lights. It was very loud.

You wouldn't have liked how loud it was. I wouldn't have liked it. The apple-bottom jeans was very loud. Five, should we get low? I bet I'd get stuck in the sideways seat and I don't travel well sideways. I was in the sideways seat. I don't travel well sideways. I don't travel well backwards. You didn't pay for this hummerzine.

You just dogged in on this hummerzine. You should have been going backwards. That's free old free free rider over here with his hummusine. I know, I was like, how am I in a hummusine? You literally just said before

that we're making plans for another boozy lunch next long weekend. Let's get a hummusine. Yeah, he did. Let's get a hummusine. Guys, we're gonna get a hummusine. It was like when they were like,

okay, limousines are obnoxious. What else is obnoxious? A hummer. Somebody sounds jealous. Somebody sounds jealous. I'm looking it up. Hummerzinehire.co.nz Inquire now. What's the hourly rate

of these hummerzines? Well, I don't know, but we only had it for an hour. They only had it for an hour. Did you have a 12-seater or a 15-seater. I don't know, but we only had it for an hour. They only had it for an hour. Did you have a 12-seater or a 15-seater? I don't know. Discounts for weddings and balls. Why are you giving the weddings a discount? Say it's a wedding. Say it's a wedding.

Yeah, yeah, I'll put on a white frock. Yeah, sounds lovely. All right, wow. Don't be jealous. Certainly, I promise you, I'm not going to replace the jealousy. I've got some hot news, some good news for your mouth, your mouth health, especially if you don't like brushing your teeth.

It is suggested that you do do so twice a day. Yeah. But a dentist has said that kissing is just as good. Locking lips with a SO, a significant other, is just as good. Locking lips with a S-O, a significant other, is just as good for your mouth. Wait, wait. One dentist has said this? I feel like there's hundreds of thousands of dentists worldwide. Hayley, it sounds like a dentist has gone rogue.

No, he is the chief of Impress Orthodontics. He's the chief. Good for you. Now he is the chief. Good for you. Now he is the chief. He operates out the back of a hummerzine. Born. You can hop in a hummerzine and get a gun. If you want me to get you a hummerzine for your birthday,

I absolutely don't want a hummerzine. I got told off just when that song was playing because Fletch said I was mean to his friends in the hummerzine because they were all really lovely people. They're lovely people, but they still hop in. You've met some of them. They sound like jerks. I've met a lot of them. Hummerzine because they were all really lovely people. They were lovely people, but they still hopped in. You've met some of them. They're lovely people. I've met a lot of them.

Hummerzine-hiring jerks. They're lovely people. They dipped a toe into jerk land. Yeah. As they took an hour-long, you know. They dipped a toe, the jerk felt fine, so they just jumped into Jerkville by driving the mayor's Hummerzine.

I don't care what it costs, I'm going to get Vaughan a Hummerzine for his next birthday. You're still getting that. I don't want what it costs, I'm going to get Vaughan a hummusine for his next birthday. You're still getting that. I don't want a hummusine at all. You are. Oh my gosh, should we start broadcasting the show live from a hummusine?

It sounds great. A mobile show from a hummusine. Oh God, no. Imagine the smell. Imagine being on the Harbour Bridge. Imagine the smell. I can take a plug in. A Glade plug in.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll sort it out. Anyway, back to what I was saying. Yeah, so if you kiss, you create more saliva, and saliva production is really good for your mouth, good bacterias. But that's not going to, kissing someone isn't going to floss and remove the plaque.

No, no, he's not. Yeah, he's saying please still keep doing it, but it is good for your oral hygiene, keeps bacteria and acids away by the boost in saliva production. He suggests pashing, so not... Like a bit of tongue. Sharp. Well, it's got to be saliva producing.

Okay. Wetter than that. Right. Four minutes a day. Four minutes a day. No way. Jeepers. What am I, a 15-year-old at the afterboard?

In a Hummerzine? In a Hummerzine. Oh, you know what, Pat? If Bourne Smith had a hummus in a Morrinsville High College... He still wouldn't have got any. He's a loser. Yeah, it's going to give you nice breath, healthy teeth. Of course, it could also give you cold sores and the flu.

Yeah, right. So, you know, there's bad sides to it. They say keep brushing and flossing, but have a four-minute pass a day. But if you're not brushing and flossing, you might struggle to find someone to pass you four minutes a day because you're going to taste manky. You're going to taste like a hummusine. You're going to taste like a hummusine.

You're going to have that. Don't be jealous. Your mouth will taste like licking the seat of a hummusine after a night out with which in is for you. It's like you're pashing the hummusmer zine after a night out with Fletch and his friends. Is that your passion, the hummer zine itself? Okay, you are out of line. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. No.

Sorry, I was messaging my friend about the hummer zine. This is a problem. I knew this was going to be a problem. Now he's distracted. All he can think about is hummer zines. All he can think about is hummer zines. All he can think about is homozenes. He's got a homozen on the brain. I said, I'm sorry.

Vaughn is just jealous because he didn't get an invite into the homozenes. This is the problem. I knew when I saw him in the homozenes, I'm like, this is him now. He's going to be all he can think of. I haven't changed. It's a gateway. I haven't changed. I didn't want to go in the homozenes. You are a different man.

His ego is the size of a literal homozenes. I said, homoazines aren't me. Come back down to earth. I have a bicycle. Your brand is hummazine. I'm a bicycle. My brand is an eco-warrior. It's like you've been eating nothing but rice

and you just had a taste of the richest food known to man. You can't stop thinking about that rich dish. All your good work that you've done with the biking and the walking and the scooters, it's all undone. It was absolutely undone. One hour in a hummus ain't. Sat in a hummus ain't hardly moving due to it's poor turning circle. Oh I know.

And downtown Auckland. How many bottles of wine deep were you at this point as well? Oh guys. I haven't been flying for two, two and a half years. Long haul. Nobody has. Nobody has. One hour in a hummuszine is the equivalent of 13 around the world trips.

Well anyway, it's time for Fact of the Day, Day, Day, Day, Day. Yeah. You guys heard of fractal burning? Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. You guys heard of fractal burning? What did you just sniff and go, oh?

On someone's pissed my kiwi fruit. Oh, gee. Someone. See, he's turning his nose up at even just a slightly bruised fruit now because he's had a taste of the hummusine lifestyle. They wouldn't serve bruised fruit in a hummusine, wouldn't they? He wants a hummusine lifestyle on a bruised fruit budget. That's what he wants.

Fractal. Fractal burning. Burning. Fraction burning. Fractal burning. Carpet burns. No, carpet burning. Fractal burnings where you will have seen this on craft videos.

I don't think I have watched a lot of craft videos. You will have seen this though. You have a large piece of lumber, a large piece of wood. Or you burn a logo in. You drive a nail in one side and a nail in the other and then you connect mains power to it and it starts trying to connect.

The electricity starts trying to connect through the wood and it looks like lightning marks. And then it gets there and it burns. You must have to put a lot of power into it. Yeah, well, there's a machine that you use for it, a Lichtenberg machine. Oh, yeah.

And you can control the voltage. Right. And this power is, because, you know, that's how electricity works. That's what lightning's doing. It's trying to find the shortest and path of least resistance from point A to point B. So you've got this electricity desperately trying to connect to itself and so it burns through the wood and it leaves these cool patterns. It looks like coral reefs or trees.

These cool burning things through it. So I was watching some crafting videos. At the moment I'm getting a lot of blacksmith content. It gives me shit for being in a hummerzine having fun and partying But you're at home watching craft videos Craft videos I'm getting a lot of blacksmithing I don't know who I want to hang out with more on the weekend to be fair

Come round to the blacksmithing Smith's blacksmithing Fractal burn some wood or hang out with you in the back of a hummerzine I won't be fractal burning Because this hobby Has killed 33 people. Jeepers. So people are warning against it.

Our woodturners, the American Association of Woodturners, has banned the process. Not the American Association of Woodturners. Yes. When they speak, you've got to listen. You're when they speak, you listen. They're the American Association of Woodturners. Yeah.

A-A-W. So how this happens is they put these nails in either side of the thing and try to get the electricity to connect. And as they're cranking the machine, they'll touch something, and there's so much voltage going through it, it kills them. 33 known deaths have been caused by it. And it's not just amateurs like Vaughan Smith whacking a nail on one side and whacking a nail on the other

and then taking a lamp that he's taken apart and taken the wires from and connecting it and hoping for the best. Experienced electrician. An electrician with 20 years experience. Died. Died. See, it's safer to be in a Hummerzine, isn't it?

Safest car on the road. Only car that can fit on the road. If that electrician was out with us on Saturday night. He wouldn't have been fractal burning. He wouldn't have been fractal dead. Okay, so that's the American Association of Woodturners, but the American Association of Hummerzine Owners and Riders would speak highly of Hummerzines.

Yes. So next time you see one of those videos of it going through the wood and leaving all the marks. Dangerous. Yeah. Look away, Pat. Very, very dangerous. 33 people have died from it,

so it's not all fun and games and easy crafts. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- complaining about your bruised kiwi fruit, and I said you want to live a hummusine life on a bruised kiwi fruit budget. Budget. Budget was today's sneaky little word, and there's a word starting with F that not enough kiwis are talking about finances.

And look at us. We're in the middle of a radio show talking about finance. We've teamed up with ANZ to do this. Now, ANZ wants kiwis to talk more about their finances, from what you're spending to what you're saving. You can get more conversation starters at the ANZ Financial Wellbeing Hub. But Eden, you were the

first one. Good morning. You heard the word budget today. Sneaky little word and you have got $500 thanks to ANZ. Thank you guys, this is awesome. Congratulations. What are you going to spend that on? Why don't you hire a hummerzine for the day?

Oh, I would. I actually would. That sounds like a great time. Thank you, Ed and Q. It was a great night. It does. It looks like a fun time. Yeah, it's really long, Ed.

You get in it and you're like, oh, my God, the end of the car is way down there. I know. I love it. All right. Hey, congratulations. $500, Ed. Well done. We'll have another sneaky little word tomorrow.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Harry Styles, as it was, had Lizzo on stage at Coachella over the weekend for Weekend 2. Weekend 1, though. Oh, Shania. If you haven't watched that, great stuff. And of course, we announced the show last week. Those details, ZM online

for ticket sales. Get ready. Oh, Wayne signed up for a credit card. Didn't you sign up for a credit card to get the pre-sale? This makes me sound so bad. And then what happened? No, no, no. So I was like, oh, I'm the only one who's available out of my group of friends that are going

to buy tickets. I'll get a little credit card so I can pop it on there. Didn't come in time, did it? But it's okay. Yeah, because credit cards take more than a day to come, don't they? Did you not know that? Yeah. Everyone should have transferred you the money. I didn't know that the past purchases pre-sale was going to be the next day. No one told me that.

Yeah, right. Okay, well all the details, ZM online. I have to apologize. Yes. See how quickly I ate my sausage roll? I'm a professional. It didn't even touch the sides. We were out there and then Vaughan just said there's sausage rolls outside. So I ran I ate my sausage roll? I'm a professional. It didn't even touch the sides. We were out there and then Vaughan just said, there's sausage rolls outside. So I ran and I got sausage roll.

I'll give you one, Fletch, because I know that you're keeping it tight these days. Well, you can't fit in a hummus in if you're a slob. Not enough room. There's a certain amount of, I mean, ironically, there's a ton of enough room. It's just the sort of, if you're going to put the hummers in on Instagram, if you're going to put the hummers in on Instagram, you ought to be looking, you know, keeping it tight. Now here's something that's going to tickle you.

So there's a parenting group called Mouth of Mums. It's a very popular Facebook page. A lot of Australian mothers get on there and they share their experiences, being a mum, being pregnant, you know, tips, tricks, the works. Yep. And they, one of, you know, tips, tricks, the works. Yep. And they, one of them posted on there saying, what is the thing that tipped you over the edge when you were pregnant that made you burst into tears?

The results are so funny. One mum turned up to Bunnings and she was in the line for a snag for a saucy, got to the head of the line, they were out of saucy, she burst into tears. It's the hormones, isn't tears. It's the hormones, isn't it? It's the hormones. One woman couldn't find her favourite flavour of ice cream at the shops and crumbled in a heap

on the ground. Another one got to the bathroom and her husband had accidentally turned off the heated towel rail and her towel was cold. Cold towel absolutely broke me. I just thought a heated towel rail's her towel was cold. Cold towel absolutely broke me. I just thought a heated towel rail's job was to dry the towel, not to keep it toasty warm.

No, some people like a toasty warm towel like in winter. I like a toasty warm. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. This is a good one. I cried because the fish in the fish tank at the obstetrician's office was picking on one of the big-eyed fishes. It was very stressful for me to watch.

My blood pressure went up and I sat there crying. Another woman said she kept putting all of her groceries in the freezer, like for getting and getting baby brain, and then she'd be hungry and go to get it, and it would be frozen and she'd cry. Because she couldn't eat it. Yeah. I mean, ice cubes.

Ice cubes wouldn't come out of the ice cube tray, so I threw it across the room and burst into tears. And then Lillis goes on about the silly things these hormones do. So we wanted to ask you, what small thing made you overly emotional when you were pregnant? No one in this room has been pregnant before. No, so we can't. No.

So we don't have stories of our own to share. I mean, there'd certainly be people that weren't even pregnant and just your day had got too much. Oh my God, constantly, you're banging there and you're like, right, that's it, this day's a cry. This is a big old cry. Here comes a cry. So 0800DARLS at M is the number.

You can give us a call, text in 9696. What small thing made you emotional? Just tip, just that little. Just tipped you over the edge. That little thing that you normally wouldn't cry about, but because you were pregnant... You cried like a baby. Yeah.

We asked you what tiny little thing tipped you over the edge when you were pregnant. Yeah. Made you burst into tears. A mum's group in Australia has gone viral with anyone sharing all the silly things that made them cry. Jacqueline, good morning. Hi.

What was it when you were pregnant that just tipped you? Well, look, it's still upsetting to talk about it And my kids are now nine But I was pregnant with twins I was measuring like I was 52 weeks pregnant Like I was massive So I was a bit vulnerable Not a fun time

I bought a takeaway chai latte and a scone from my local cafe Got home ready to tuck in They'd given me a proper latte rather than a chai latte And a scone from my local cafe, got home, ready to tuck in. They'd given me a proper latte rather than a chai latte and I don't like coffee. You want a chai? You want a chai? Oh my god. So that was just devastating. And then I went to try and have my scone.

It was too crumbly and I couldn't butter it. I cried. Oh my god. I cried for half an hour. Like, as I said, I can feel myself getting upset just reflecting on it. It was tough. You can't do that to a pregnant woman. It was terrible.

How horrible is trying to, like, butter a scone? Oh, he just takes it. Yeah, just ripping off the scone. Why am I taking scones? There's no structural integrity to a scone. Yeah, and then afterwards, you're like, you get that kind of roof of your mouth feel. Jacqueline, thanks. You're cool.

Jessica, what was the thing that just tipped you when you were pregnant emotionally? I was watching Marie Kondo on Netflix, the cleaning show. To be fair, it was the episode where the lady has to clean up after, like get rid of her husband's things after he passed away. But I just felt a little silly when my husband walked in and I was like, I'm watching the cleaning show. Got you going. It got you good. Yeah.

Are we still Marie Kondo-ing? It would have got me anyway, but... Is Marie Kondo still Kondo-ing? No. She was a thing, like, a few years ago. Yeah, big thing. Now everyone's just holding on. Now everyone's like, let's...

Let's hold on to it for life. Jessica, thanks. You're cool. More messages in like, let's hold on to it for life. Jessica, thanks. You called more messages in. Of what got you going when you were pregnant. When I was pregnant with my first baby, I sat in the middle of baby city and sobbed disgustingly because the port-a-cot doesn't come with a mattress. Are they sold separately?

Must have been. We moved house and the movers forgot the mattress. I literally collapsed onto the floor Sobbing in front of them Someone said one night My partner said You're so weird Just jokingly

And I had a breakdown And I asked him why he was with me If I thought I was so weird then Oh no That's a good one Alright We want to know all the silly little things That tipped you over the edge

And made you cry When you were pregnant Ash this was your partner wasn't it Yeah it was It was We want to know all the silly little things that tipped you over the edge and made you cry when you were pregnant. Ash, this was your partner, wasn't it? Yeah, it was. It was. So we had our first about two years ago, and during the pregnancy, one of our dogs wouldn't settle.

Like, it was trying to ruffle the bed up and tidy it all up. And then I got up and made the dog bed, like, put the blanket on nicely. And as I finished it, I turned around and she was just in tears, bawling her eyes out because the dog liked the bed made like she does. Oh, my God. The dog likes the bed made like she does. Yeah, and she was like, it's like me. What did you say to her? I didn't really know what to do.

I thought it was a piss take to start off with, but it lasted about 10 minutes. You're like, oh. And I knew asking, are you being serious, was not a good thing. No, not even to a non-pregnant person. Yes, smart man, Ash. Brilliant, Ash, thanks for your call. Some more messages in.

What set you off when you were pregnant? I'm pregnant now, 36 weeks, two weekends ago. My partner hit a bird while driving, fully flew into the yurt. I cried the whole drive. Yep, that'll do it. We were only 10 minutes into the drive when it happened. Had to live with that for the rest of the night. Just say it went under the car. That's what I'd say.

You're like, oh, I just, no. So they said it fully smashed into the window screen. You just say, oh, I think it's just stunned. It's not dead. It's just a bit stunned. It'll get up. Yeah, no, no, it's just a bit stunned. Put the wipers on and flick it off and it'll fly away.

Yeah. I was six months pregnant, asked my husband to get a spider web out of the corner of the room. He said he'd do it, but then he didn't and I bawled my eyes out because when I did it, there was a new nest of daddy long legs and I felt like I had killed an entire family.

Oh. And it broke me. You've got to leave the daddy long legs because they get rid of all the little bugs. Yes. Yeah, they're mosquito killers. They're harmless. I was supposed to order 500 grams of ham with the grocery deliveries,

but I accidentally ordered 5 kgs of ham. Yum. And even it showed up, I called my husband and cried, and I said, we have so much ham. And they couldn't eat any of it because, of course, you're not supposed to eat cold deli eggs while you're pregnant. And you couldn't freeze ham. You'd literally just.

No, it wouldn't fit in the freezer. Not 5kgs of it. Yeah. I can't give it a good nudge, though. I don't know. Give it a shove. Many, many recipes call for a good slice of ham. An omelette with lots of ham.

Ham steak. Whip up a couple of ham daiquiris. Yeah. Oh, I love a ham daiquiri. Put it in the blender. Oh, yeah. A bit of coconut milk. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

A bit of rum. Mmm. The taste of the tropics. Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm. Ham daiquiri. Put it in the blender. Oh, yeah. A bit of coconut milk. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A bit of rum. The taste of the tropics. Ham daiquiris. Pineapple ham daiquiri. My cat wants shit on the floor while I was home on my own and being pregnant. You can't. You're not supposed to go near cat poo because it's toxic. So I rang my husband totally beside myself.

You've got to come home from work. You've got to come home from work and clean it. And he was like, oh, this really could have waited. But again, you've got to come home from work You've got to come home from work and clean it And he was like Oh, this really could have waited But again, you've got to pick your battles
