Well boys, assemble the glam squad.
Glam squad here!
I'm off to a wedding!
This weekend?
This Saturday I'm off to a wedding And so finally remember you guys
This is why I'm calling on you because you were my glam squad
We went to the Mount and I went and bought a dress there
For the radio awards and the radio awards was cancelled
So now I have a very expensive dress
I'm going to wear it
I don't know if Vaughn and I did anything
You encouraged me
Yeah but I think we just looked at the price tags
And were like oh you're what?
Oh my god. No, but you were also like,
damn, hails, deadass.
Yeah, you did look good. Shake it, deadass
be poppin'. Yeah, but with your consent
we said that. You were like, slap,
slap, oh my god, deadass.
We're all slapping.
We're all slapping. There's hands everywhere.
We're slapping asses. Everybody was slapping
asses. Here's my question.
The mission had been granted.
Okay.
Very expensive dress.
Very nice.
Yep.
Elegant dress.
Yep.
Wedding, I think we have an air of elegance.
It's in a vintage cinema.
Oh, okay.
Couple?
Yeah.
Great.
Yeah.
It's a homosexual wedding.
And I can imagine.
I'm out actually.
As a conservative.
Are we going to our first homosexual wedding,
Maddie McLean's?
I've got two homosexual weddings.
What's your other homosexual wedding?
Zach's homosexual wedding.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm going to that one as well.
I thought you'd been invited to a homosexual wedding with Ari.
Well, I got invited to a homosexual wedding years ago,
but I couldn't make it.
I was overseas at the time.
My friend Kim, she's married to a woman.
And that makes her a homosexual. She dropped that bombshell at the time my friend Kim she's married to a woman and that makes her
a homosexual
she dropped that bombshell
at your wedding
didn't she
she did
it's not the fact
that it's a homosexual wedding
that's dictating
my fashion choices
it's that my friend
it sounds like
the homosexual
no it's that my friend
I know he's going to be
wearing something
extraordinary
and I know this
because for his
30th birthday
he wore a ruff
and a balloon sleeve
what's a ruff and a balloon sleeve. What's a ruff
and a balloon sleeve? Like a Shakespearean ruff around the neck.
And a balloon sleeve. He's extra.
He's extra. And so my question
is, I don't want to wear high heels.
I need a shoe option.
I don't want to heel.
We are edging back into
Birkenstock season.
Now this friend of mine loves a Birk.
Well could you do that, the high-sided Birk?
You know, the new Birks that are in there?
Yeah, they might like a clog.
I don't know if I can rock a clog with this silky gown.
I think you'd better just to wear heels.
Like, that's your safe option.
You wear heels to a wedding all day.
Yeah, bitch.
You wear heels to a wedding all day.
Producer Jared's saying chucks are timeless.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind wearing a chuck with this dress.
With your Avril fucking Levine in a formal dress.
Tuck a bloody tie on
around my neck as well.
I don't know what other,
just some sensible flats and cumps.
Oh my God, a sensible flat.
A sensible flat.
I said assemble glam squad.
A crop?
Yeah, one of those
stiletto crocs.
You could ask to borrow
Lou's Balenciaga croc.
Our friend has the Balenciaga
croc high heel.
Oh, get out.
Yuck.
She's out of her damn mind, this woman.
But we're a different foot.
We're a different size foot.
I'm a big foot.
You're a hoof.
Siri, shut up.
You're not now, Siri.
Siri can't help you.
It's a glam squad.
It's a hoof.
The glam squad and Siri can't help you.
Because I know a nice dress and a sneaker is good, but all my sneakers look like shit.
Yeah, yeah.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You're classy.
What about a dock? I'm rocking a dock today.
Dressing a dock. What is the dress?
I can't picture the dress. It's black.
It's black and it's kind of to the shin.
Oh, okay. Maybe some nice
you could go a dock. A sandal?
A little tip of the hat to your
previous life as a goth emo.
Maybe chucks?
Nah, that's not a wedding.
I'm just worried about the formality of the thing,
because it's one of those invitations that says, you know,
come as you are.
Oh, that's another kettle of...
You should see him at the moment.
He looks like he's straight from the bush.
Because he's in full Reno mode.
His beard is getting so long, but also as wide.
Yeah, that's why my beard does that.
It gets to a certain length and then just goes sideways.
He's got to have it trimmed before the wedding.
The man is made of 50% sawdust at this point.
I don't know how I'm going to clean him up.
I honestly don't.
Take him to a car wash and sit him on the back.
I need to hose him down outside.
The good thing is if you keep him unkept and sawdusty at the wedding,
you, my comparison, will look really glam when you walk in.
Yeah, that's good.
Think about that.
Beauty and the beast.
Beauty and the beast.
Yeah, that's good.
So no one will be looking at your shoes.
They'll be like, this guy
hasn't even made an effort for a wedding. He'll be wearing
his bloody steel cap boots, some shorts,
a ripped plaid
shirt. Yeah. Yeah, maybe, what about
a nice white sneaker?
But a nice white sneaker, like a
Yeah, a dress white.
Are you saying I have to go buy new shoes today?
What are you talking about, cement knees?
Fucking hell!
We're talking some Entneys.
Yes.
Some DCs.
I don't know.
I think you've got to go.
Oh, look, I don't know.
Sleek, sleek, semi-platform shoe.
Yeah.
This has not helped at all.
Disassemble Glam Squad.
Glam Squad.
Disassemble.
Disassemble Glam Squad.
Disassemble Glam Squad.
I want to get dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. Disassemble Glam Squad. Disassemble. Disassemble Glam Squad. Disassemble Glam Squad.
Hello, good morning.
Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Two minutes past six.
Happy Wednesday.
It is Wednesday, eh?
Happy Costco opening day.
Oh, actually, yeah, that's picked me right up.
I've been gagging to get a new coffin for ages. Oh, yeah.
I know.
They better have jet skis.
I've got to stop my mind on a Wednesday jet ski.
They had like motocross bikes.
Were they e-motocross bikes that I saw advertised?
E-motocross bikes.
Or like a motocross.
But are you even driving a motocross bike
if it's not making that obnoxious sound
that a two-stroke engine makes
when you're absolutely ringing it out?
Wham!
Wham!
Wham!
I saw the coffins when I went to pick up my membership card.
But there was no price on them.
So I'm assuming the prices go on the coffins today.
Right.
That's going to be nuts.
Also, I would love to know if the coffin industry,
I don't know what the undertake is, if they're like pissed that Costco are coming in with some half-price coffins. Yeah, I would love to know if the coffin industry, I don't know what the undertake is,
if they're like pissed that Costco are coming in with some half-price coffins.
Yeah, but it's about quality.
It's about quality.
Why is it just going in the ground?
It's going in the ground.
Yeah, I know.
And they look decent.
Who cares what they look like?
From where I can see you, who cares what they look like?
Chuck me in a bloody wicker basket.
That's what I reckon.
Of a rat hand.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're a bit rat.
A bit of a rat hand
vibe, yeah. Let's chuck me in a
Kathmandu sleeping bag.
And then pull the strings.
Pull the strings. Get them wound up.
Nice and tight. Biff them in.
Chuck me in an old fridge box and run me straight into the
crematorium. Why not? You're dealing with
the top six, the Costco
opening in the top six today. The top six things
to remember if you're going to the Costco opening today.
Well, people have been camping out overnight.
Guys, guys, guys.
I drove past there, well, every day on the way to work.
I didn't even think to look.
I don't know if you'd see them from the road.
No, they're around the corner.
Yeah, around the other side.
I'm avoiding that for at least a week until that dies down.
I do want some bulk, like peanut butter or something.
Something ridiculous.
Bulk M&Ms.
Yeah, so excited for this.
This is going to be a big destination for Auckland tourism too.
Oh, huge.
Shouldn't it just sound the news that people have flown into?
Yeah, people have taken the day off work.
I mean, to be honest, get a grip.
No, to be honest, get a grip. No, to be honest, get a hobby.
You flew to Auckland for the opening of a huge multinational.
Get a grip.
This is some people's church, Vaughn.
You're like, church itself is unusual.
If this is your church, you're even more unusual.
This church has songs.
That's the best part about church.
They've got the speakers on the roof at Costco.
Oh, yeah, we could sing some praises.
I bet they crank a good royalty-free almost cover.
Well, they probably do, yeah.
At Costco.
All right, also coming up on the show,
we've got the secret sound.
Thanks to Neon, seven and eight this morning.
Your next chance is to get through and have a shot at winning that $100,000 cash.
That'd really bump us up today.
Yeah, it would.
First up, though, NASA's done something insane.
I hope you saw this.
If not, I'm going to tell you what it is, and then you should Google it immediately.
Play.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
I hate space.
Oh, I was prefacing space.
I hate space.
Before you got to work this morning, Vaughan,
Hayley and I were talking about the fact that NASA have crashed.
What have they crashed?
$300 million.
They've called it the DART.
It's a spacecraft.
A spacecraft.
They've crashed that deliberately into an asteroid.
They have.
You do.
And the reason they would, oh my God, it makes me feel so unwell.
I hate space.
So you couldn't, if somebody was like, you've got a free trip to the International Space Station
or a trip to space, you wouldn't go?
If they were doing a mass evacuation of Earth and we had to leave because Earth was going to explode,
I'd be like, goodbye.
I don't want to go up.
I hate it.
Why?
I hate it.
It's wrong.
It's too big.
Is it enclosed spaces?
No, it's infinite spaces.
Yeah, I'm not into it at all.
Wow.
We shouldn't be up there.
But at least you can see sharks coming.
Yeah, exactly.
This is why I like space over the...
No, no, this is why I prefer space to the ocean.
Oh, okay, right.
In the ocean, you're bobbling, you can't see what's underneath you.
But in space, you can see the shark coming.
Well, you can see 360, can't you?
If you just float down in space, you can see the space shark.
Yeah, okay.
I don't want to borrow it.
So it hurtled towards an asteroid, a distant asteroid,
a hypersonic speed.
There's a spaceship.
It's evacuating everyone on Earth because of giant moths.
Ah!
Why did you do this to me on a Wednesday?
I've got another thing.
Technically, Earth is just a spaceship.
Yeah, it is.
Earth is just a big circular spaceship with an atmosphere.
So in 10 minutes, you'll be surrounded by giants.
Oh, hey.
Now let's not get crazy.
Would you get on the spaceship then?
Yeah, but then I, I don't know.
Can I choose death?
A quick non-MOTH related death.
A quick death.
Wow, you really hate space that much.
I hate space. I hate space.
I hate space.
So they hurtled a, yeah, it's called a spacecraft,
NASA's DART, into a meteorite, very distant.
And the reason they did it was because they were trying to see
if they could alter the motion of an asteroid
so that they could
prevent a potential
We're talking Bruce Willis
Doomsday. Yeah, wow.
And so they bang on.
They hit it where they wanted to.
Yeah, they hit it. And there's
footage of it because they had a camera on it.
It's incredible footage. Have you watched
it once? No, I haven't. I'm just loading
it up now. Initially, it looks like a cluster of Ferrero Rocher.
It does.
Or like, you know, a coconut rough lolly you'd get maybe sometimes in a bougie pick and mix.
Yeah.
And you're like, wow, okay.
And then when it gets like really close to impact, you can see like the rocks and the
formations of it and stuff.
The thing I'm seeing close up here,
it looks like you're down at Central Landscape Supplies.
It does.
It looks like you're going to go pick up a trailer full of gravel.
Yeah.
It's incredible.
And then it just cuts out because obviously the dart hits the asteroid and explodes.
So it was flying at 22,500 kilometres an hour.
What?
That's how fast this golf cart-sized dart.
Right.
It slammed into Dimorphos, which is the name of the asteroid it hit,
while flying at 22,500 kilometres an hour.
So the idea is they would then the next time put an explosive device on there,
what, like a nuclear warhead?
Yeah, something like that.
That would explode the asteroid and stop it hitting Earth.
Yeah.
So this could like, because I guess they're going, you know,
a lot of the time you hear like, oh, God, it's like, it's circling.
It's getting closer to Earth.
Watch out.
But if there was a massive one, it would obliterate us.
Wow.
So the idea is that they've got all the science to detect when these things are
near us.
But we didn't have the science to stop
it in any way. And this is like,
this is huge. If you watch,
because I'm on space.com,
and if you watch,
God, it would be Houston, wouldn't it?
Where they did this. The control centre.
I'd say so, yeah.
So they're all up on their feet, hugging, you know, like this is a huge moment.
Well, I mean, you'd need to be so precise.
You're travelling at such speed as well.
We better hope these don't happen that often.
The dart costs $313 million.
US dollars, yeah.
US dollars.
Well, so what if there's a giant asteroid coming
and they send a bomb up and they hit it in the middle,
but it just splits it into two giant asteroids
that then obliterate even more of the Earth?
What would happen to the Earth if one side was obliterated?
What the whole thing would get.
Because, well, that extinction event
that wiped out the dinosaurs was one that hit
and they reckon it hit somewhere in the
US but it's just the ash cloud that went up
from it blanketed out the sun
it'd screw us tidal waves
it doesn't matter where it hit if it was big enough
it would be a full blown. Goodbye your tan
because
no sun. Oh but I've been working so
hard. I'd have to buy a tanning
bed. Yeah. They still exist? I don't know if hard. I'd have to buy a tanning bed.
Yeah.
They still exist? I don't know if you'd be able to breathe.
Tanning beds?
Yeah.
Well, you would be because you'd be in the little chamber.
You've got a chamber now, do you?
No, the tanning bed chamber.
Oh, right.
You're locked in.
It's airtight.
You live in it until it all settles down and the tidal waves stop.
I'll come out a beautiful golden brow.
Golden time.
You'll be the only one left on earth as well.
Or you'll be like that piece of toast that you popped down and forgot about
and then the smoke's pouring out of the toaster.
Yeah.
One of the two.
One of the two.
Both a hell of a look for the apocalypse.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Well, Consumer NZ are at it again.
If they're not staining some white shirts and testing laundry detergent.
And then telling you that your favourite sunscreen does nothing.
It doesn't work.
I know.
I know.
Well, they are in May.
They called 71 property managers in New Zealand.
All across the country,
agencies in Auckland, Wellington, Palmerston North,
Nelson and Dunedin.
And they found that 10% of property managers
in their nationwide mystery shop
asked for more personal information than necessary.
Oh, so they rang and said,
hello, it's me, 24-year-old Beatrice,
and I need a house.
And then they were like, okay, we'll send you the paperwork.
And in the paperwork, there were questions there
that weren't legally required.
What did they want to know?
Medical records?
It's unlawful to discriminate and not give somebody a rental property
based on sex, including pregnancy or childbirth.
Like how much you're having.
Yeah.
Because I don't want to like...
The wall's rocking.
Exactly.
I don't want to rent it somewhere to a place...
Someone's got a wooden headboard.
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
Yeah, you've got weak floorboards.
So it's also unlawful to not give somebody a rental based on relationship or family status,
religious or ethical beliefs, colour, ethnic or national origins, physical or mental disability,
illness, age, political opinion, employment
status and sexual orientation or gender identity.
What if they're Satanists
and they're sacrificing goats in the
lounge? And nailing them to the lounge wall?
And nailing them to the wall. Well you put a bit of blood
above your door, don't you? Wards off the evil spirits.
But I know, but you've got to know.
Blood stains. I mean I guess you're just not getting
that's why you've got a bond. Maybe if you've got laminate floors it'll be alright, but but you've got to know. Blood stains. I mean, I guess you're just not getting, that's why you've got a bond.
Maybe if you've got laminate floors,
it'll be all right.
But if you've got carpet,
that's a full replace.
I'd get a bond.
Right.
Get a bond for the Satanists.
10% were maybe trying to weed out the Satanists.
Yeah.
Because, yeah,
they apparently encouraged the mystery shopper
to provide more personal information
by way of a cover letter or a rental CV,
which would include the extra information that they're not allowed to ask for.
I thought they were going the other way and they were removing things to make it easier.
Like, wasn't there something a while ago about you can't ban pets?
Remember that was going to come in a sentence?
Yeah, but I don't know.
I don't think it has happened.
I don't think that happened, no.
But because there was, you know,
saying that pets bring so much goodness into people's lives
that you can't prevent people from having them.
So no cats or dogs.
But then in saying that, if I took my cat into a rental,
he would eat the carpet.
He's a clorer.
He's a clorer.
He's like, my couch is ruined, my carpet's ruined.
Yeah.
Like, it would actually
Cost me money
Lots of friends do
Like little pet bios
When they look for houses
Oh yeah
So it'll be like
They'll take along
An extra thing
With their form
And say like
This is Rolly
Rolly is a good boy
He doesn't
But everybody says
Their pet's a good boy
Yeah
Yeah
Everybody says
And you know
You think of the parents
That are quick to tell you their kid's a good kid.
They're always the worst kid.
They are.
I feel like if you're leading with, he's a very good dog.
Why?
No, he's not.
I didn't ask.
Yeah.
You know, what's he chewed?
And he's a dog.
Yeah.
He ate a steel-belted radial tire.
He's a good boy.
Yeah, he's not getting the flat, is he?
Consumer NZ also found 6% of rental managers
asked mystery shoppers to include bank statements.
You can't do that.
I know.
That's not them, is it?
So I remember...
Mortgage can do that.
I remember even before they brought in these rules,
like, yeah, a lot of rental agencies
would ask you for your salary.
And then you'd have to provide, like,
the last three payslips.
Are they allowed to do that?
I don't think so. I mean, I guess it's proof of affordability,
right? Yeah. I don't know.
But then they also found that
14% of agents on the
phone became less interested
in the mystery shopper when they started
questioning the privacy and security of their info.
Yeah.
Sounds not legit. Like they're just like, this person's trouble.
Yeah, too much like hard work.
Sounds like a Satanist.
Yeah, I don't know.
Sounds absolutely like a Satanist.
But yeah, interesting.
So I mean, yeah, definitely Consumer NZ there with that study.
So you know your rights if you're looking for a flat
and they're asking for too much info.
Is there a conclusion on whether or not they are allowed
to ask for your bank statements?
Well, at the moment, they are looking at
the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development
is currently looking at the regulation of property managers.
Oh.
Because I don't think there are any fines.
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma.
Yeah.
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma.
You're in.
But yeah, there are laws and rules,
but I don't know, Google them.
I don't have them.
Wait, if you turned in to get facts or actual information...
Well, I mean, how long do you...
We could be here all day.
Yeah, we could be here all day.
We're not the bloody Citizens Advice Bureau.
Yeah, exactly.
Look out for that logo that looks a little bit like a taniwha.
That's where you'll find your Citizens Advice Bureau.
If you come here on the lookout for a JP,
you're not going to find one.
No, you're certainly not.
Well, Jared Pickstock, the producer, technically that's his initials.
No, he's not, but just to avoid any confusion.
You should do that, though.
JP the JP.
Citizencab.org.nz.
Yeah, there you go.
They'll help you out.
All right, 6.22.
Next, something is good for you and I don't consume it.
I might have to start.
This morning, even.
Ooh.
I hope it's bread.
Oh, God, I want bread.
No, she's off the carbs.
Play it.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
We were all just tossing around the idea of grabbing a round of mockers, weren't we?
Well, yeah.
I wasn't.
Which, as we learned yesterday.
I'm not a teenage girl trying to start drinking coffee.
Vaughan's anti-the mocha.
He's anti-the mocha.
Oh, no, I used to punish the mochas.
Yum, yum, yum.
Mochas with two sugars in them.
Oh, boy.
It was a syrupy sweetness.
Yeah, that was in Vaughan's younger days.
Oh, yeah, where the sugar flowed right through you.
Now, you know, moment on the lips.
You've got big fat hips.
I don't think that's quite how they're saying, guys.
But we're all suffering a little bit of this sort of midweek
because it's, you know, the, what was it called?
Daylight savings.
Daylight savings.
We've got no words.
It's this time of year.
I've been talking to a lot of people lately,
unexpectedly tired.
Yeah, it's not warm enough yet, but it's not cold still.
The air is snuggly. Daylight savings absolutely stuffed me. Yeah, it's not warm enough yet, but it's not cold still. The air is snuggly. Daylight savings
absolutely stuffed me.
So we're all a bit tired and we
thought, maybe a round of moccas.
Even you are contemplating a coffee.
And I don't drink coffee. Yeah, because it makes you anxious.
It makes me extremely anxious and
jittery, but maybe that's the energy I need
for the day, you know what I mean?
I'm going to roll the dice.
Is there a corner for me to have a quiet panic attack in?
You should really roll the dice and get like a short black.
Just a little shot and just honk and run.
Or extra shots.
I reckon my heart will explode.
But according to this study, maybe I should.
How many cups of coffee would you say you drink a day, Vaughan?
So I have one, but I have double strength every time.
Same.
So one now,
cup of tea at seven's replaced my seven coffee.
Yeah, I look forward to it.
Cup of tea at seven.
Another one at nine.
Probably one at lunch.
Maybe one at three.
So you have four.
Three or four.
Four and a tea.
I'm four.
I'm three.
Five on the weekend
because sometimes I'm just like,
I'll put the jug on, shall I? Yeah. I always remember my grandparents saying that to each other. I'm four I'm three Five on the weekend You're three Because sometimes I'm just like I'll put the jug on
Shall I
Yeah
Oh yeah
I always remember my grandparents
Saying that to each other
I'm putting the jug on
Yeah
You want one
I would explode
I would be like
I don't
A pile of ants
One
Like midday
One o'clock
That's my cut off
For coffee
Because then you
Otherwise
Your sleep's a bit
Messed with
Do you know what that is
Whereas
And we've mentioned this before,
Vaughan's mum will have a pre-bed coffee.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
South Africans are big on the pre-bed coffee, eh?
Yeah, my parents used to do it.
I remember talking about my mum being wild
and, like, having a coffee before bed
and then bitching and moaning that she couldn't sleep.
But then I was saying to Ursula and Carlson,
and she was like, yeah, it's a big South African thing,
like a black, strong coffee before bed.
That's why they're always so bloody pissed off, aren't they?
Because they're so angry.
That's why they're so angry.
They're not getting enough sleep.
So how many, what?
Well, there's a study out of France, and they know their coffee.
Oh, they do.
Almost as well as the Italians.
Yeah.
That says coffee drinkers rejoice because they say that drinking two to three cups of coffee each day
could help you live longer for many a reason.
And I know that there are health benefits, but then there's always the counter argument for not drinking coffee.
But they found two to three cups of coffee each day lowers heart disease risk
and the risk of death from all causes.
And it also applied to a wide range of coffee varieties,
including instant ground and even decaf coffee.
Yuck.
I mean, why are you drinking decaf?
And then I read another study to be like, is this true?
This one's from Harvard.
Oh, okay.
Well, they know their stuff.
They know everything.
Moderate coffee intake, which they're calling between two and five cups a day.
So I think you guys are all right for a moderate intake.
Linked to lower likelihood of type 2 diabetes,
heart disease, liver and endometrial cancers,
Parkinson's disease and depression.
So all of those things can lead to death in various ways, right?
And so drinking coffee by helping those causes
lowers the risk of death and stroke.
But then offset by all your excessive drinking.
Yeah.
It's all about balance, baby.
It's all about balance.
I'll sing it loud in case you don't already know.
Pack up your shit and go.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Play ZM.
Blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
This is the Top Six.
Well, well, well.
How did that go?
Well, well, well.
The day is finally here.
Costco opening day in Auckland.
It's been delayed a little bit.
Yeah.
I remember Dave and I from Mitre 10 Mega there.
Yeah.
At Westgate. Dave and I are very close personal friends. And I remember Dave saying to from Mitre 10 Mega there at Westgate.
Dave and I are very close personal friends.
And I remember Dave saying to me, I said,
Dave, whereabouts is this bloody Costco going?
Yeah.
Because there's a few massive industrial sites left out there.
Yeah.
And he said, it's going over there, Vaughan.
And I said, Dave, you're a madman.
That's not a big enough space for a Costco.
Well, it was, wasn't it?
Well, Dave was right and I was wrong. It's humongous enough space for a Costco. Well, it was, wasn't it? Well, Dave was right and I was wrong.
It's humongous.
It's a giant.
It's got parking in it.
Yeah.
Not a lot of parking around it.
Probably pretty good for the place over the road.
There's a lot of parking in there.
Yeah.
Resene, I think, has four parks out the front.
Yeah, Resene.
They need all four of those parks.
Yeah, reserved for Resene only.
Please.
Yeah, there's like a traffic management plan today.
I know.
They sent out a like, hey, guys, I know you're all planning on coming.
This is where you need to drive your cars and please be patient.
People have been camping overnight to be the first.
People are taking the day off work.
I wonder if people are going to live stream it.
What time does it open?
Yeah, sure.
It'll be on the talk.
14,800 square metre Auckland store.
What's like your normal Mitre 10 or Bunnings or supermarket?
What is that?
Square metre-age.
I don't know.
It's pretty big.
Do you know off the top of your dime?
I don't know.
But Costco's massive.
I don't know if it's as big as Dave's Mitre 10.
I think that's the biggest Mitre 10 in New Zealand now.
That's a good one.
It's a massive Mitre 10.
It's a big, long Mitre 10.
So you can go in there, you can get a bit of everything.
I liked my wife, Sade, showed me a thing yesterday,
them saying, hey, we're not all just bulk products.
Here's a massive diamond ring that we also stock.
And one of the top comments was,
G up the Toyota, it's time for a Ram Raider.
No.
Wow.
You'll never get in.
No.
Although they've got big doors.
All right, I'll let the top six things you need to please remember
at the Costco opening today.
Number six, there will be enough $5 coffins for everybody,
so please be patient.
I don't think they're $5 for an opening day special.
I don't know.
But they've got coffins.
That's pretty crazy, man.
I assume the coffins are always at their own dedicated shop.
Nope.
Costco makes its own rules.
Yeah.
Number five on the list of the top six things to remember
at the Costco opening today.
Please love thy neighbor.
Unless that bitch is taking more than her fair share of the kayaks.
Then it is on.
It is on.
I want a kayak.
I wanted a green kayak.
And you've got all of the kayaks.
Fight the kayak aisle.
Number four on the list of the top six things to remember
at the Costco opening today. Traffic
is likely to be crazy.
So please remember to buy your very own set of traffic lights when you're in Costco.
$5.
Oh, only $5.
$5 for a set of traffic lights.
Those fun little ones that you can move around because they're on wheels.
Yes.
I never really take them seriously, I'll be honest.
They're not at the right height.
It's like listening to a kid.
Yeah.
You're like, okay, kid, but you're not really listening.
Tiny traffic lights on wheels.
You don't tell me what to do.
You're not cemented into the ground.
No, you're cemented into a 200-litre tin barrel.
I can't take you seriously.
I can see the road is clear as well.
I'll zip through.
They're the relief teacher of traffic lights.
Yes.
There's no respect for a temporary traffic light.
Oh, we've got to
relieve it today.
It is time to play
up.
It's time to play
up.
And then the
traffic lights with
the, one of the
lights isn't working
is the old teacher
who is not yet
ready to retire but
no one's really
taking them
seriously anymore.
Oh God, when it's
flashing orange.
Yeah.
Oh, that's the
hungover teacher.
Number three on the
list of the top six
things to remember
at the Costco opening today. That's not a memory phone pillow. That's just howover teacher. Number three on the list of the top six things to remember at the Costco opening today.
That's not a memory phone pillow.
That's just how big Americans like their marshmallows.
That is edible.
Yeah.
Would be a nice thing to sleep on, though.
And as you draw that.
You get sticky.
You could lick your pillow.
You'd dissolve it.
Yeah, yum.
If you went to bed, it was hot.
Yum.
You'd sweat it away.
Yeah.
No good for our humid summers.
No.
Number two on the list of the top six things you need to remember at the Costco opening today.
You probably don't need a 40kg sack of thumbtacks.
You're not going to use that many thumbtacks.
I don't know, though.
When you're looking for a thumbtack, it's good to have them around.
It's good to have a 40kg sack of them, but you probably don't need it.
And number one on the list of the top six things to remember at Costco is opening today.
You've had the same bottle of Worcestershire sauce at home for three years,
and that was 300 mils.
There's no way you need a 25-litre bucket of Worcestershire sauce.
It's good flavour, though.
It's a great flavour, but you always forget you've got it.
And then you buy another one.
Yeah.
You've got two Worcestershire sauces.
And then you start the new one, and then you tip the old one into the new one,
and you've got another full bottle again.
It's never ending.
You never finish a bottle.
And at the bottom of the Worcestershire Sauce is where the good stuff is
because it settles over time.
That's the real concentrated tang.
Extra tang.
The extra tang.
I want that.
I just want a bottle of the extra tang, you know?
The extra Worcestershire sauce.
That is today's Subsex.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. extra Worcestershire resource. That is today's Sub 6. Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
When we think of baby names in 2022, we think of like Celestial.
Trust Tomato.
Trust Tomato.
Grandpa.
Are you just naming random things now?
Lily.
Sophia. Olivia, Amelia.
Lemon posset.
Amelia, Ava, Issa, Isla.
Creme brulee.
Those are some of the most popular female ones, yeah.
But do we think of the name Gary?
Gary?
Gary.
Gary.
Do we think of the name Gary?
We really don't. Because apparently, according to UK baby names,
Gary is on the rise. It has
not cracked the top 100 just yet,
but it is ever increasing
in popularity for new babies.
Do they know why? Like, normally
it's a celebrity, right? Yeah.
Is it like a Gary on Love Island?
Like a cultural thing?
Or Big Brother in the UK?
I don't know, but some of the names on the rise really surprised me.
I mean, the classics, some traditional names,
James, David, Peter, Jack, Oliver, Thomas and Matthew,
all kind of hanging strong in there.
Right.
Other names like Percy, Eugene, Lars, Artie and Bernard.
Wow.
Like quite these like, yeah, like very British sort of posh old names.
Do you think it could be people naming their babies, their new sons,
after say a grandfather or a dad?
Yeah.
Maybe the big throwback.
Yeah, maybe. I mean, oh my God, they've or a dad? Yeah. Maybe the big throwback. Yeah, maybe.
I mean, oh, my God, they've literally listed the top 100.
I'll go to 100.
Aisha for the gals and Miles for the boys.
Right.
Is your 100.
All right.
I think we've got time.
We'll just hit the top 100.
All right.
Number 99 for boys.
For boys is Jaden.
We don't have time.
Before that, Ibrahim.
Let's call it 98.
No, you know what?
Stop.
Go back to 2000.
We'll call it The Names 2000.
And we go through and we go number 1479.
God, the Bogans will love this, won't they?
The Bogans love a big list.
Yeah, big list.
The Name 2000.
Yeah.
We're going to have a live thing at the end of it
where we reveal the number one name.
86th, Chester.
Move up.
You've got Jaspers in there,
rocking about 81.
Jasper Carrot.
But see, where was Gary on the list?
Just off.
Just off.
But it's enough that it's making a comeback.
Yeah, but it hasn't been in the top 100 for years.
Right.
It's Uncle Gary.
My granddad was Garrick, but he went by Gary.
Gary.
It's a very sort of manly name.
I don't ever look at a sweet baby boy's face and think,
Gary.
My little Gary.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
I am a big Drew Barrymore
fan. I like her in films.
Yeah. I think she's fun and funny
and lovely.
Sometimes, she cray.
Right. You know what I mean? Like when she went
out to eat the rain. Yeah, I feel like
Drew Barrymore, since she's got this talk show,
she's doing a lot of things just to be talked about. Yes. Yeah, I feel like Drew Barrymore, since she's got this talk show, she's doing a lot of things
just to be talked about.
Yes.
Like, she does things that other people are like, that's unusual.
Well, maybe this is one of them.
This is one of them.
And the stinks of it.
Yeah, it really does.
She posted a video that has now gone viral to TikTok, and it is for when she is trying
to, quote, avoid carbs. who would do such a thing?
They're the best food in the world.
You are literally doing that right now.
I'm regretting it every moment.
Anyway, she said, when you still,
I can't do Drew Barrymore,
when you still feel like a pizza,
what you do is you order yourself a pizza.
I'm like, danger zone, danger zone, alert system,
step away from the pizza.
But no, you still order the pizza,
and then what she does is she makes a little side salad,
and you think, well, that's better than not, you know,
than having pizza with no side salad.
Yeah.
No, it's the next step that's going to drive you wild.
What she does is she takes a slice of pizza,
and she runs a fork along it,
and she scrapes off all the toppings on top of this bowl of salad and that gives you a pizza salad.
And she said, it makes me feel like I'm eating a pizza.
But the toppings.
It's slop.
An insane amount of cheese.
Slop salad.
I love it.
I hope that didn't sound negative when I said an insane amount of cheese.
Yeah.
But it's, yeah, if you're having a salad it's counterintuitive.
She said, yeah, I just take the top
of the pizza and add a little salad which
basically has all the same toppings as the pizza
then I just kind of mix it up.
It's really crunchy and delicious. I get
the satisfaction of eating a pizza.
And then what, she'll just chuck the base
away? Yeah, and then she puts a
dressing on it
and you'd eat the salad on its own and you would
chuck the base away. She said, I know people are
going to be like, you can't do that to a pizza, but if you
are trying to not
eat pizza at the moment,
just eat a normal salad. Do you know what I mean?
Don't get pizza. Yeah, or make a
cauliflower pizza base. I've had those
before. They're really nice. I mean, they're a bit
of a mish to make. They're not pizzas.
They're not pizzas. No, it's're a bit of a mesh to make. They're not pizzas. They're not pizzas.
And they're an absolute
misher. Or just do a really thin, crispy
base. Just eat the pizza.
Yeah. You know?
Anyway, at the end of the video, she does take a bite of the pizza and everyone's
like, you're a hero for showing us
that you'd also take a bite of the pizza.
Right. But people are mad that she eats
pizza in such a stupid way. It's also
wasteful, right? Yeah.
So this is what we wanted to ask you this morning.
Do you eat food a weird way?
Is there a food that you know you eat differently
or you know you eat wrong?
Does eating Nutella just out of the jar
without putting it on bread or toast count?
Is there another way to eat it?
Well, yeah, yeah.
Apparently people put it on toast.
Why would you?
Well, that's unhealthy because, you know, you're just getting extra
carbs. Yeah, well, it's the bread.
You could reinvest that allocation of calories
to more Nutella. It's blended up
nuts. There's nothing more to it.
That's health. It's literally
health in a jar.
So I wouldn't worry about Nutella.
No, but maybe you sort of want, you know, a twister
and a dunker and a ripper and a...
I like with a big pizza slice to fold it.
Yeah.
And I eat it like folded.
Yeah.
You know the big slices?
Yeah, the big one.
New York style pizzas.
Why are you ramming it in so tight?
Because then you're just getting double thickness.
The whole joy of it is that it's thin.
Yeah, but then you don't lose anything.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's like a pizza sandwich.
Yeah.
Pizza taco. Yeah. Or maybe you make tacos. You eat a pizza sandwich. Taco. Yeah. Pizza taco. Yeah.
Or maybe you make tacos. You eat the filling and then
you finish it with the taco. I don't know.
Maybe you're crazy. Who would fill
a hard shell taco, eat it
with a fork. Scoop it out. And then
eat the crispy shell. But that's the better
way of doing it. If you think about
it, because the worst part about a hard shell taco is the minute
you bite it, it self implodes and you
lose all structural integrity.
No, the bigger question is who's still eating hard-shelled tacos?
Get a grip.
Okay, what about people that eat soft-shelled tacos with a knife and fork?
Goodbye.
What's wrong with them?
Yeah.
What happened to them?
Why are they doing that?
That's a hand food.
It's a hand food.
That's a hand food.
What if someone gets fish and chips, you know,
and they unfold the paper, and then they start eating the chips with a hand food What if someone Gets fish and chips You know And they unfold the paper
And then they start
Eating the chips with a fork
What are they doing that for?
We were born with ten forks
Yeah
Most of us
Yeah
So
Anyway
Maybe you eat something funny
That's what we want to know
Do you eat a certain food
In an odd way
Give us a call
0800 DALS at M
Is the number
You can text as well
9696
Don't do silly things like, I eat my
biscuits up my bum.
We don't have time for that.
That's a fetish. Take it
seriously. I don't think anyone's shelving
a Tim Tam. Although if you were going
to, that'd be the biscuit to do it with, I reckon.
We're talking about the weird and wonderful.
We'll celebrate you. We're not here to judge
ways that you eat a certain
food.
Drew Barrymore has been outed for her pizza salad. She scrapes the toppings off on top of some leaves and calls it pizza salad.
I've dabbled with low-carb for years and years.
I'm not doing a pizza salad.
No.
I'm not.
I might, you know, if there's one or two slices of pizza left
when everyone's finished, like, the pizzas,
I might pick some toppings off.
Oh, same.
Because I'm full, but I just want the good bits.
Yeah, or I just eat the tip off.
Huh.
Yeah.
And that's it.
When it's cold, and you say pizza tip,
and you go, well, no one's going to eat it.
Huh.
Just that last little bit.
Sean joins us.
Good morning, Sean. How do you eat a Big Mac one's going to eat it. Ha, just that last little bit. Sean joins us. Good morning, Sean.
How do you eat a Big Mac?
I like to do it layer by layer.
So I start with the bun,
you know, the top bun,
and it's a bit dry,
but then you get down to the juicy part.
And if you order it without any onions,
you know you're getting a fresh patty.
And then you eat that
and then mix your salt and pepper,
you know,
and you just keep going down
and you make less mess.
It's the best way to eat a Big Mac.
So, wait, the last thing you eat is the bottom bun?
Yeah, correct, before all the salad and the Big Mac sauce.
But the point of the Big Mac is that there's, you know,
the dry of the bread, the juice of the meat,
the crunch of the salad, and the wet of the sauce.
The tang of the pickle.
And it's all, it's designed to be in together.
Layer by layer, you know.
You can get each individual taste, you know,
and that's what I'm all about.
That's weird.
It is weird.
I encourage you to just take a bite.
Do people see you doing?
Yeah, I get a lot of judgment.
I was going to say.
What are you doing?
Yeah, I explain myself every time, but it's okay.
All right, well, thank you, Sean. No judgment here. Oh, I think about myself every time, but that's okay. All right.
Well, thank you, Sean.
No judgment here.
Oh, no.
It sounds like we're judging.
No, that was very judging.
It was very judging.
Very judging.
The two people who promised no judgment went pretty judging.
It's because we care about him, and he's missing out on a wonderful experience.
Even that sounds judging.
I just want all the flavors in his mouth at once,
not individually.
Well, it's his mouth
and he'll put in
what he wants,
how he wants.
That's true.
Emma, how do you
eat a hot dog?
I will set up
this hot dog
beautifully
and make it all lovely
and then as soon as
I put it on my plate
at home,
I will tip the
frankfurter out
and eat the bread first
before I eat the frankfurter.
Why don't you just have frankfurters?
Why?
I don't know.
It's just always what I've done.
You're not having a hot dog.
You're having some bread and a sausage.
Yeah.
Why do you do this?
The only good part about the frankfurter,
which is often highly processed,
is the entire bread, mustard, onion, sauce package.
The bread is only palatable because it's soaked in sauce and it's got the meat.
Yeah.
And the meat's...
I know.
I have no idea.
I mean, no judgment, Emma.
No, no.
We're not casting judgment.
No, certainly no judgment.
Very.
We're all being very judgy.
Now you are.
Again, I just want Emma to have the right experience
and not the experience of a psychopath.
But again, no judgment.
But it is very judgy.
You two are saying no judgment, but you're both,
me included, being very judgmental.
I just think Emma's out of her damn mind.
No judgment, Emma.
Each to their own.
I like it.
Don't you dare do it like that again, but each to their own.
Each to their own.
I wouldn't want to do it with your freedom,
but never, ever do it that way again.
But it's up to you.
I'll have to try it the normal way.
Can I ask, what if you go to Bunnings and get a sausage in the breed?
What do you do with that?
No, I will eat that normally.
I will eat that.
So you admit that it's normal to eat it.
It's just at home.
So it's your own private shame is what you're saying.
Yeah, that's the one.
But we're not judging, but you're mad.
Plenty of judge.
Lots of judge.
I say that with love, not judgment.
Yeah, thanks.
You call Emma.
Some more messages in.
We had some replies on Instagram where we asked,
Sean says, subway from both sides
into the middle.
No.
But they cut it in the middle
and you eat from the middle
to the outer edge
and then get your other half
and eat from the middle.
And sometimes that outer edge
is too crusty
and yuck,
you chuck that away.
That could go.
Yeah.
You know?
Right.
And sometimes like,
they say foot long
but they haven't put everything
right to the end,
have they?
No.
There's a bready buffer at the end there.
Katie says, I eat cereal with a fork.
I'm judging.
You're not going to get much milk there.
Although, but that's why.
That's actually quite genius because then the milk drains away.
What do you do with the milk?
This is from a guy who overfills his milk every morning.
I know, way too much milk.
Every morning.
Way too much milk.
And then he leaves a bowl full of milk.
What's in that bowl over there behind you? Milk. It's milk. It's too much milk every morning. I know, way too much milk. Every morning. Way too much milk. And then he leaves a bowl full of milk. What's in that bowl over there behind you?
Milk.
It's milk.
It's too much milk, man.
Why do you put it in the bowl in the first place?
Don't put that much in there.
Because I don't want my porridge all, like, glumpy.
There's kids in Africa who don't get milk.
Yeah.
They have to have soy milk and now they've got boobies.
Oh, my God.
I say that to my mum.
Oh, my God.
Soy milk and boobies.
Soy milk.
This is the problem.
The kids in Africa, they aren't getting the milk. And then they get the soy milk, they're milk and boobies. Soy milk. This is the problem. The kids in Africa, they aren't getting the milk,
and then they get the soy milk, they're getting the boobies.
And now they've all got boobies.
I remember in the year 2000 trying to be so subtle,
asking my mum if we could switch to soy,
and she absolutely knew why I was doing it.
Because you wanted bread.
I thought I might switch to soy.
Why?
I don't know.
I think it tastes better.
It didn't.
You just wanted boobies.
Did your boobies come?
No. True? No. I'm still boobies. Did your boobies come? No.
True?
No.
I'm still waiting.
I've been hooning soy for years.
Maybe it's something about Africa.
Yeah.
Maybe it's the heat, do you think?
It could be the heat.
It could be hot.
Were you drinking your soy at room temperature?
Maybe 36 degrees.
I was.
Oh, it was straight from the fridge.
Could be the proximity to wildlife.
Could be.
All right.
I'm an idiot.
Caro says, always eat the pizza from the outside in. I crust first. That, I'm an idiot. Caro says always eat the pizza
from the outside in.
Crust first. That's a mess. No!
Everyone says you're holding the tip of it with all the
sloppy bits. I know.
Quite often I don't eat the crust.
But a lot of people are doing crust
dippers now, which is the best trend,
the best new advancement in
pizza eating in a long time.
They're just trying to make the most of their scraps.
Another Big Mac layer by layer eater there.
What is wrong with people?
I mean, still no judgment.
No judgment.
No judgment.
Georgia says, I eat my burgers upside down.
I'll pick it up with thumbs on top, fingers under, and flip it.
I do this depending on how the burger's stacked.
If the weight of the burger is a little top heavy, I'll do that.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
You can do the old flip and chop
I flip mine as I go
As to where the slop is moving
Yeah, yeah
You've got to be agile
You might need to do a tactical bite
Because your paddy's slipping
Yeah, so then you've got to flip
Oh, of course, always
Flip and bite
Turn, num, num, num, num
Yep, yep
Tidy it up
Absolutely
Bit of a sauce drip
Clean that up with a little nibble
Lick, lick, lick, nibble
Flip it again.
Flip them over.
Flip it.
Flip it back over.
A little flip.
A nibble.
Keep it nice and tidy.
Keep turning around.
Turn, nibble, turn, nibble, lick.
Num, num, num.
That's how it's done.
Erica said, when I eat chips, I lick my fingers at the same time and scoop them under my tongue.
So she's putting her grubby, saliva-covered fingers back into the chip bag.
Yeah, but no, judge.
Oh, plenty of judge.
That's grotty.
Plenty of judge.
Keep your salivary fingers out of the bag
because if they bounce off a chip
and you don't pick it up,
now that chip's got your salivary bits on it.
All right, your next shot at Secret Sound
is coming up at 8.
All thanks to now $100,000.
It's a jackpot.
Got a Prince George update next.
You know that little skelly wag?
It's a pop-down time.
Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey.
Play ZM.
When I need serious news, I turn to the Hindustan Times.
Hindustan Times.
Oh, me too. And this is where I turn to the Hindustan Times. Hindustan Times. Yeah, me too.
And this is where I turn for this story,
where apparently after a spat with a classmate,
Prince George said,
my dad will be king one day.
You better watch out.
Wow.
Big Joffrey energy on this guy.
Wow.
What a threat.
Yeah.
How old is this? How old is he? Seven this guy. Wow. What a threat. Yeah. How old is this?
How old is he?
Seven.
Seven.
Wow.
Yeah.
To be fair, that would be something you would say at the playground though, right?
Absolutely.
Do they go to a fancy school with only rich people?
I'd say so.
What is it?
Is it Eaton?
Eaton's the high school, but is it like Eaton Prep or whatever it is?
Eaton Mess.
Oh, this apparently
Took place at his
Former school
Thomas Battersea
In South London
Right
Yeah
So
Second in line
He should have been like
Skip Dad
You better watch out
I'm gonna be king
Yeah
He needs to say that
To Will
Yeah
Hey Uncle
Oh no
Hey Dad
Yeah
That's his dad eh
Dad's
Yeah yeah Dad
Harry's his uncle.
Hey, dad, move aside.
Yeah.
When granddad dies, I'm king.
I'm a king.
Yeah.
I'm going to be the king.
Imagine trying to tell him to do things like, have you brushed your teeth?
Dad, I'm going to be the king one day.
Back up.
Yeah, the king needs a good set of chompers, though.
Yeah.
No, the Brits famously have terrible teeth.
Terrible teeth.
Yeah, he could be the king. He could be a king of the peopleompers, though. Yeah. No, the Brits famously have terrible teeth. Terrible teeth. Yeah, he could be a king of the people.
Yeah, yeah.
With the teeth.
A toothless king.
He's got a bit of flair.
Yeah, he's got a bit of sass.
Well, he's very sassy.
He's very meme-y, isn't he?
He's very meme-y.
He's very meme-y.
Very sassy little man.
God, I feel like people used to say that, like,
my dad's a policeman, so...
He could arrest you.
He could arrest you.
Yeah, or my dad's tougher
than your dad.
Yeah.
That was a classic.
My dad's a teacher.
I'm going to tell on you.
My dad's a finance manager.
He's not going to lend you
any money when you grow up.
That's what I used to say.
How did that go down
in the playground?
Oh man, they would run
for the hills.
He's got connections
with the IRD.
He's going to get
your parents audited. My mum's a real estate agentD. He's going to get your parents audited.
My mum's a real estate agent.
You're never going to get on the property ladder.
Play.
ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Give them some good news.
Give them some good news.
Then give them some bad news.
Good, good, bad, good. Well, I've got some good news. Then give them some bad news. Good, good, bad, good.
Well, I've got some bad news coming up for anyone that's got an overseas holiday anytime soon.
But we're going to wrap it up in our segment.
Good, good, bad.
We'll wrap it in lots of good news so you forget about the bad news.
I've got a couple of bits of good news.
Vaughan, you've got some bloody good news.
I've got some bloody, bloody good news, especially for children of the 80s.
Oh, wow.
Do you want a headline?
I can headline.
I'll warm up.
I can headline.
I'll MC.
Okay.
And then I'll do opening act.
Then you'll be the flopper, you know, the guy who comes in.
Yeah, I'll flop.
You'll flop.
Yeah.
And then you'll pick it up and save it.
Okay, cool.
Okay, well, speaking of travel, here's some great news.
A Chinese petroleum company
has just obtained
an airworthiness certificate
for their new biological jet fuel.
A lot of words there.
Yeah.
They've basically got airworthiness
for a new type of fuel
that is made out of used cooking oil.
And it has very, very little
emissions, carbon emissions.
Right.
So aviation is one of the last remaining transportation sectors
that still has no decisive alternative to fossil fuels.
This could be the answer.
Yeah.
So you go to your local fish and chippery.
They've been working on like little electric commuter planes,
but the big jet planes, they can't be battery or solar powered, can they?
And we talk about it all the time, Lily.
This star jetting around, Taylor Swift, was the worst of all.
And yes, I know, Carween, she was lending out her plane to her friends as well,
but she did that knowingly.
She's putting that into the environment.
So this could be a huge thing.
Used cooking oil.
But do you want to be flying along at 30,000 feet
when a little bit of fried potato gets sucked into the fuel lines
and clogs them up because they didn't sieve the fuel.
Yeah, I don't know.
They made out of cooking oil they picked up from a fast food restaurant.
Because have you ever seen those trucks that come and pick up the oil?
Have you ever been behind them on the motorway?
No.
They smell amazing.
Yeah.
You're driving behind them and you're like,
what do you have in there?
A bit of chicken, did you?
A bit of chicken.
A bit of chicken, a bit of meat.
Does that mean on your 12-hour flight to LA,
if you're in a plane powered by cooking oil...
Oh, they'd probably have to do some refining on it
and take the little chunks of fish batter out of the bottom, I reckon.
But could it smell nice?
Oh, yeah.
Like on the plane, will it just smell like being in a fish and chip shop?
Regardless, the best part of this news
is that compared to traditional petroleum-based aviation kerosene,
the usual gas they put in planes,
this kind of fuel can reduce carbon emissions by up to 50% through the plane's life.
I kind of like that smell at the airport, though.
Yep.
I know, I love a little gas.
I love a bit of aviation fuel.
Only because you probably associate it with travel.
So now if it smells like delicious, greasy food that you already love and travel. Yeah.
Well, I've got my 12-pack of Krispy Kremes
taking them back to the family in
Dunedin. Yeah, yeah. We don't have
these down south.
So that's good news for the environment. I've got more good news.
Kind of in another environmental way,
but also a humanitarian way.
A 12-year-old girl
from Presterton,
Denbyshire.
I don't know what that is.
Sounds British.
Is making blankets, survival blankets for homeless people out of chip bags.
Chippy packets.
Is she wiping them down?
Yeah, she cleans them.
Oh, right.
Oh, yeah.
Here's a greasy blanket.
Yeah.
She flattens them out, cleans them out, uses an iron to fuse them together into a single sheet,
just like, you know, when you come off a mountain
and you got stuck and they wrap a bloody tinfoil blanket around you
and it instantly keeps you warm.
These do the same thing.
Oh, wow.
They're made of, like, very similar material.
Wait, so it's still got all the chip designs on the outside.
Like, you're looking down, it's cold,
but you're being hugged by a lock of Changi salt and vinegar.
Oh, yeah, but they've got cool designs on them.
So during the past year, she's made more than 200 blankets herself.
12 years old, she's doing this
and has saved 10,000 crisp packets from the waste.
Oh, wow.
Good news.
That's good news.
Are we ready for my bad news?
We might have a triple.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, go on. Is it environmental? That's good news. That's good news. Are we ready for my bad news? We might have a triple. Oh, yeah. Okay.
Go on.
Is it environmental?
Because we've had three.
My good news story, which is next, hang in there.
Mine's probably anti-environmental because it has to do with travel.
Okay.
And overseas travel especially.
And especially if you have an American holiday coming up or you like shopping on American and overseas websites because the US dollar has taken a walloping
and has plummeted in the last few weeks.
What does that mean?
Because I always thought, oh, that's good, but no.
It's good if you sell stuff to America,
like farmers and exporters.
And you sell them and be like, yes.
But for everyone else, the cost of things will go up
and especially travel.
So the US dollar at the moment, do you remember when it was like high 70s or mid 70s?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like you could go to America and it was 75 cents would get you.
Yeah, well, what is it now?
It's 56, hovering around the 56 cent mark.
So everything's pretty much double.
Yeah, so when you're in America, if you're going to America, a Disneyland pass, if it's
$200 US, that's
$400. That's basically like
for us in the UK, right? I always
think the pounds basically double.
Yeah. And that was always so much more
than America. Yes, but
even the pound as well.
What's the pound at? The pound's at 52.
But that's taken
a dive as well. Do you know when I
the first time I ever went to Edinburgh in 2008,
it was triple.
Yeah, I remember when it was triple.
And it was so that we couldn't afford anything.
Yeah.
But all the people coming from like Norway and that for the tattoo,
they were big spenders.
They were loving it.
Yeah.
Well, I remember the first time I went to America in the 2000s,
it was 42 cents.
And so, yeah, it's not as low as it has been.
But think about that now.
If you're thinking about an overseas holiday,
America is not going to be cheaper.
It's only getting more expensive. So it changes with good news for our exports. Yes. But most people want a holiday and go to America.
Yeah, that's the bad news.
Could you go to America with a whole lot of cheese?
Sell it to when you got there.
I think customs may have something to say about that.
Butter and cheese.
Yeah.
Cheese and butter.
Yeah.
Well, my good news, to finish it off, the good news is the scientists have put a date
on the time that when the ozone hole, the hole in the ozone layer, will be completely covered over.
What?
And the good news is it's only 50 years away.
What?
If you're not familiar with the hole in the ozone layer.
I feel like we were scared to death as children about this in the 80s and 90s.
I just read this article about it.
In 1987, scientists had discovered, in 1980,
scientists were like, these CFCs we're using.
And fridges and everything and propellants.
They're not good chemicals.
And when they get into, they destroy ozone.
And so they get over Antarctica and they put a big hole in
and everything's getting in and there's no atmosphere there
to stop the blah, blah, blah.
We're all getting skin cancer.
It's melting the ice caps.
Everything about these ozone-destroying chemicals is bad.
Seven years later,
they were outlawed
because people saw a catastrophe on the horizon.
Why can't we do that now too?
This is what I always think.
Make a law.
You can't do that anymore.
Global warming.
It's like 197 countries agreed to it.
Yeah.
Imagine 197 countries agreeing on anything now.
Yeah, it wouldn't happen.
It wouldn't happen, but they agreed.
They outlawed them, and they said it stayed bad for a little while,
but it has been.
It's been closing over.
So I didn't know this.
It closes over every year,
and it's just in our southern hemisphere summer months.
August it starts opening.
Yeah.
That's why, you know, also a great reminder to get some sunscreen on if you're outside.
Yeah.
And it stays open for all of our summer really bad.
But it has been getting smaller and less intense.
Is that why we burn so well down here?
I'm literally just writing on my to-do list.
Get some sunscreen.
Sunblock.
Get a big family sunscreen.
Yeah, so us in Australia
get it worse
and that's why
our skin cancer rates
are so terrible
because we put a hole
in the ozone.
But scientists have said
it is slowly improving
and by our current...
That's very good news.
So wait,
in 50 years
when the polar ice caps
have melted and...
Yeah, all the good news is
we'll be...
We probably won't need
as much sunscreen.
That's good.
But we will need
more boats.
We'll need a snorkel.
Oh heck yeah.
We'll probably actually
need more sunscreen
and more zinc
because the water's
going to be reflecting
off the water
and the water's
going to be everywhere.
Is this good news
or bad news?
It's good.
It's silver lining it.
It's good news.
Play ZM's
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Ready?
Set.
Well hi there honeys.
Looking for a husband?
Well, if you read McAllis Magazine from 1958,
they've shared an article.
That was the year someone who might be my mother was born.
I just realised as I was saying it,
you don't really talk about a lady's age, do you?
No.
So on the cover of this McAllis magazine from 1958, which has
gone viral. Someone found it in an op shop. They bought it
because the cover's cute. It's got a cat on it.
Fletch. Oh, wow.
Cat in a champagne glass. My God, I've never seen a magazine
so fitting for you.
On the cover is a cat. It says
three women of courage. And then the other
article is a sex manual
is a threat to happy marriage.
Written by Dr. David Mark.
And 129 Ways to Get a Husband.
129!
In 1958, was it just like whoever's left over from the war?
58.
Like.
Yeah.
It was a little way after the war.
Yeah, but you know, men had been depleted though, hadn't they?
They had been, yes.
There are some doozies on here.
I'm going to skip.
I've got the whole list of 129.
I haven't read it all, so I'll just pick some random ones.
Okay.
Number five.
Look in the census report for places with the most single men.
Nevada has 125 males for every 100 females.
That is a move to Nevada.
That is a move to Nevada.
That is a really strategic play, isn't it, to find a man?
I'll roll right on to number six on the list.
Read the obituaries to find eligible widowers.
Oh, my God.
Wow.
Hey, John, sorry to hear about Susan, see,
but I'm new in town and I've got a petticoat on.
Oh, my God.
Number nine, sit on a park bench and feed the pigeons.
Yuck.
I don't know about that one.
I could just imagine people that are single now who want a husband listening to this list and they're like, that's not going to work for me.
I didn't give them enough time to get a pen and paper.
Guys, get a pen and paper because there's more coming.
Here's a free idea.
Here's a free idea.
I've got 129.
Do I need another one?
I'm just going to, just moment Here's a free idea. Here's a free idea. I've got 129. Do I need another one? This is a, I'm just going to, just momentarily, a free idea. If you're a female and your whole like shtick is that you're single or can't find someone
or whatever, find this list and make a TikTok account where you, each TikTok is you doing
one of them to see how it works.
Oh yeah.
I mean, thank me later.
There's a free idea.
Thank me later.
What they could do, number 14,
be nice to everybody.
They may have
an eligible brother.
I like how everybody's
default before that
was just not be nice
to everybody.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, my God.
Number 17,
be friendly to ugly men.
Handsome is as handsome does.
What does that mean?
I have no idea.
Wow.
If they're handsome, they're going to cheat on you,
so be nice to ugly men because they'll be more loyal.
That's kind of what I got there.
Number 20, take a job in a company run...
Don't, sorry.
Don't take a job in a company run largely by women.
No men there.
Get a job demonstrating fishing tackle in a sporting goods store.
Oh, can you imagine the mansplaining that would have gone on to...
Yes.
You don't know wrong, sweetheart.
Oh, my God.
Number 26, don't room with a girl who's a sad sack
and let her pull you down to her level.
Okay, I've got to keep moving on.
I'm still in my 20s.
Something in the 30s, carry a hat box.
Number 33.
Number 35, make a lot of money.
Sure, I'll try.
That's a great tip.
Yeah, that's a great tip for anybody.
Okay, I'm going to head down.
Where do we want to go?
I'm going to head down to...
Number 47.
Accidentally have your purse fly open, scattering its contents all over the street.
And then so the man would help you.
And then that's if he channels you.
And you know he's a good fellow.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Number 48.
Men like to think
they're the authorities
on perfume.
Ask his advice
on what kind
you should wear.
I mean that's fair enough
right because
depending on who you
that's the idea of
perfume is to
attract somebody
or appeal attractively.
Yeah.
So you should ask
your partner what smell they like, perhaps.
Number 55, take good care of your health.
Men don't like girls who are ill.
Okay, so if they're rearing like that at 50,
go right to the end of the list.
I'll go right to the end.
That's in my 50s.
Now, this is a list of how to get a husband from 1958.
What is this?
Okay, I'll go right down the bottom.
Remain innocent.
Too late.
Read between the lines there.
Okay, I'll read you the very last one.
Number 129.
Don't marry him if he has too many loose buttons.
What?
That's not even a tip on how to get a man. I think they were stretching. Yeah. What? That's not even a tip
on how to get a man.
I think they were stretching.
Yeah.
Do you think they wanted 130
but they just couldn't?
I think they could have
shaved off at least 29
from this list.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM.
Studies show that when you're stressed,
you are extra aggravated by your partner's annoying habits.
Did we need a study to tell us this?
I don't think we need a study, but stress apparently the big one.
If you're sad, not as much.
Tired?
Well, what's causing the tired?
Stress.
Yeah.
Well, then if it's stress- related, that's the common factor.
Because I was making a joke like, yeah, when I'm stressed, Aaron's annoying habit is breathing.
Am I right?
But I'm actually the opposite because I am quite like a bitey kind of a woman anyway.
When I get stressed, I actually become a little bit more vulnerable at home because I'm like, oh my God. Is this
when you're more likely to be like, tell me five things you
love about the way that my toes
When I'm stressed, it might be like, tell me
10 things you like about my toes.
And as you do,
just feel free to touch them.
You know? Yeah, sure.
But I, because I do go the opposite
way. I get less annoyed by him because I'm like,
he can see.
He's good now at going, she's working or she's doing something or her brain's like that.
She's stressed.
Stay back.
And then, you know, just a list of things that you like about her elbows and stuff.
Give her a bit of space.
Yeah.
Right.
I haven't done the elbows actually.
I might chuck that this afternoon.
Tell me five things
You like about my elbows
Fletch, warm it up
One thing
Just one thing
They're round
Oh for God's sake
He's terrible at this
Born?
Bone
Okay
A nice
Oh the skin covering
The skin covering them
Is red
You don't have a weenus
You don't have a big weenus
You don't have a dangly weenus
No I do Actually I've got a tight weenus You've got a tight weenus You're don't have a big weenus. You don't have a dangly weenus. Actually, I've got a tight weenus.
You've got a tight weenus.
You're keeping it tight.
There you go.
And they're not pointy.
I've got a pointy little elbow.
If I elbowed someone, they'd know about it.
I've got a pointy little elbow.
You've got a rounded, a non-knobbly elbow.
It's quite pink.
Have you been leaning on it?
Have you been on them?
No, it looks like you've been leaning on them.
I've been doing a lot of painting.
Why have they got carpet burn?
You know I've been doing a lot of painting.
Yeah.
Smiley carpet burn.
Did you fall over when you were doing painting?
He's been up the ladder.
He's been up the ladder.
He's got high stud.
High stud.
Yeah, right.
Doing the leaning.
Doing the leaning.
Gotcha, gotcha.
Oh, that's really cheered me up, guys.
That's actually stripped away a lot of stress
from me.
The elbow compliments?
Yeah.
Wow, that was easy,
wasn't it?
Do you want another one?
I do.
All right, we'll go for it.
Tell me one thing
you like about my under chin.
I can't see it enough.
It's hair free.
It's symmetrical.
It's hairy.
It's symmetrical.
I've got quite a hairy,
like I can grab it,
it's quite hairy.
Why would you bring that up?
It's like you're saying it
because you know that it's
more hairy than other undershirts.
But you can't see it,
I couldn't see it.
It's a light coloured hair
you can't see from a distance.
It's fluffy,
it's tufty.
But you can't see it
from a distance.
Alright.
And I said symmetrical.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Fleece said hairy,
I said symmetrical.
So the stress in a relationship
That causes you to
Get so annoyed
By your partner's habits
It's
You know
It's the stink thing about
It's
They're the people
That are there
All the time
So you're often like
They're the first ones
To wear it
But they're also
The first ones to
Get the good stuff
Yeah
Like you know
Be the brunt of the bad mood
And the good of the good.
You always treat the people you love the most the worst
because you know that they'll forgive you
and they know you well enough to know it's just because you're stressed.
Yeah.
So you wouldn't, you know, be at work and be snappy.
But apparently the little things that you can let go,
the little, I know it's this for Sade at home.
I go, if I've got something in or around my teeth,
I give them the old.
And that drives her crazy.
And if she's stressed,
that's exactly the sort of thing that this study says.
She could probably let go, but if she's stressed,
it's an outlet for the stress.
Yeah.
You pop off at them for their annoying little habits.
Stop sucking your teeth.
Yeah.
Stop sucking the air through your teeth to try to dislodge a grizzly pit of meat
You do do that a lot but it doesn't worry me
You're not really a stress
A stressy person
Fletch even though you've got a busy life
And a high stress
High octane job
You don't
Wear your stress a lot he pops
he just apparently it does annoy um of the other producer uh producer anna uh when you when you
and when you're stressed anna especially that annoys you yeah and like vaughn you're the
epicenter of most of my stress yeah so when when you're the cause and then you follow it up with a little stupid thing,
oh, crikey.
Look at that.
Gets you going.
So this is what we wanted to ask this morning
is that when you're stressed,
what habit of your partner's really annoys you?
Like, breaks the camel's back.
Oh, you almost want them to do it, I guess.
Yeah.
I bloody dare you.
So I can pop off just a bit of steam
Yeah, I'm going to laugh
And normally they could do this any other time
If you're not stressed, you just let it go
It doesn't bother you
But when you're stressed
You're stressed, you come home and your partner's cutting his toenails on the carpet
You know what I mean?
Does he vacuum them up after?
Because that's okay
Aaron cuts his outside like a gentleman
Oh yeah, good
Like a good boy Like a good boy.
But I was saying, for example,
that could be you. Alright, well, I'll wait
Hunter and Darls at him. We want to take your calls now.
What if he cuts them on the toilet?
While he's going to the toilet and then he opens his legs
a little bit and pops them into the gap. Do you do that?
Feral, feral man.
You are feral. Why? Because you shouldn't
put toenail and fungal infection that close to your junk.
No, I open up my legs and I push it to the side and I drop it down the hole.
With each toenail, you open your legs.
No, no, no, I make a little pile.
Oh, weird.
I sit down on the floor in the middle of my two things
and I make a little pile of all the toenail clippings.
Oh, my God.
I pretend I'm a claw machine and I go.
You are disgusting.
I pick it up and open up the little gap between my legs and drop them down there.
Wait, you drop the clippings from a height.
Not from a height.
I was going to say because they could hit like your jump.
That or I chuck them because we've got a window beside the toilet.
I chuck them out the window.
Oh, my God.
Both are manky.
All right.
Well, 0800 dials at M.
We want to take your calls now and you can text as well, 9696.
When you're stressed out, what partner habit absolutely drives you nuts?
When you are stressed, your partner's little annoying habits can really set you off.
When you're sad, not as much.
All the different moods.
Stress is the big one.
Yeah.
God, it would be terrible if being happy set you off.
Come on, you're like, I feel so good, I hate you.
You might need to have some medication.
Some therapy.
If you're happy.
Or maybe just find a new partner.
Yeah.
But this is also, people are venting now.
Yeah.
So I feel like we're almost relieving a little bit of the stress
with the venting now and what your partner does.
It does your head if you're stressed.
We've had so many messages.
Taylor, what is the annoying thing your partner does when you're stressed?
Leave a brand new toilet roll next to the empty one but not replacing it.
So we need to make toilet rolls flushable.
Yeah, I mean...
Cornstarch.
Yeah, like something that when it goes in the water, it dissolves.
Yeah, but that's still...
But it can hold toilet paper.
He would probably still leave it there and not flush it.
If you could flush it.
And you get sick carrying it.
But if you're not stressed and you're in a good mood,
you'll just be like, oh, silly man,
and you'll just put it in the bin, will you?
Yeah, sometimes I've even left it there and seen how long until he actually changes it over.
And it still doesn't happen.
Yeah, but Taylor, the only person that's suffering when you do that is you because it's still there.
This is me.
I do it too.
We're already boy-hustled.
Yeah, I'm like, I'm not going to move it.
No, I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to move it this time.
And you leave it there, and then it's just only annoying you.
Yeah, it's a bit like how no one
empties the bin apart from us in the studio
and you leave it and you hope that
Bree and Clint will do it but they never do.
No, instead they left a cup of water on the desk this morning.
Is that my problem, Bree?
Is that my problem, Bree?
Taylor, thanks. You call some messages in.
My partner breathes sometimes
when he's concentrating and
his nose does a little whistle.
Oh, that would drive me nuts.
How do you do that?
You can't create a nose whistle.
It just happens.
Yeah, either have it or you don't.
Oh my God.
I'd kick him out.
Gulps water very loudly.
It's like they're trying to annoy me.
We'll be sitting on the couch and he'll start bouncing his legs.
Dude, I'm stressed from work and I'm trying to eat
and I want to feel like I'm on a bloody boat.
My husband has a lovely singing voice,
but if I'm stressed and he casually starts singing,
I want to punch him in his throat.
Is it because he's so happy and relaxed that he's singing?
Yeah, that would be a big bit of it, surely.
Ingrid joins us.
Ingrid, what is the thing your partner does
that annoys you when you're stressed?
So he rubs his toes together.
We'll be, like, at the end of the day,
lying on the couch watching TV,
and he rubs his toes,
and it makes, like, a really faint sound.
Oh, I know the sound.
What, like a squeaking sound?
No, it's like a skin to skin.
Like a...
Yeah, skin to skin, yep.
But if it's the toes, it's a little bit... It's a bit of a harder skin, isn't it? Because it's like a skin to skin. Yeah, skin to skin. Yep, definitely.
But if it's in the toes, it's a little bit harder skin, isn't it? Because it's on the foot.
It's got a little bit of a rubby sound.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So normally that's...
And he's always like, how can you hear that?
And I'm like, oh, it's just skin.
Because it's so freaking loud, dude.
So it's the sound, not the movement that you don't like.
I think it's the sound.
Sometimes it might be like on the couch or like, I don it's the sound. Sometimes it might be, like, on the couch or, like,
I don't know how to explain how he does it, but, yeah,
or on the edge of the table.
Right, but most of the time it's fine.
It's just when you're in a bad mood and when you're stressed.
Yeah, yeah, definitely when I'm stressed.
All right, Ingrid, thanks for sharing some more messages in.
My partner has ADHD, so often when I'm stressed,
he's trying to calm me down and he'll talk really, really fast
and I can't cope and I have to say, stop talking,
which makes him just want to talk more,
talk his way out of the problem.
Yes.
Somebody else says, my husband puts his keys in his ear
and scratches the ear.
You do this?
My dad does it.
It's good.
The good thing about the key is the texture, the change, it's like a surprise when it's going in the ear. You do this. My dad does it. It's good. The good thing about the key is the texture, the change.
It's like a surprise when it's going in your ear.
Yee, yee, yee, yee.
But when I'm stressed, it absolutely sets me off
if I see that key going in that ear.
Yeah.
When I'm stressed and he's like, what have you got to worry about?
Oh, my God.
And compares my daily stresses to a massive worldwide event. What have you got to worry about? Oh, my God. And compares my daily stresses to a massive worldwide event.
What have you got to worry about?
Ukraine?
Have you seen what's going on?
What have you got to worry about?
You're not a woman in Iran.
Jeepers.
Yeah.
It's all relative, isn't it?
He's trying to put it into perspective for me,
but I don't want perspective in these stressful situations.
I just want him to tell me I'm right,
which is often the case.
Yeah.
They don't want a solution.
No, we just want you to tell us
that we've got a nice tight weenus.
You know?
The elbow.
The elbow, yeah.
The elbow skin.
Yeah, that's one.
What's going to happen
when you get old
and you're in a rest home
and it's all floppy?
I'll get it tucked.
You've got to look after your weenus.
You've got to keep it to it.
Yeah, cool.
Fact of the Day is next on the show.
I hope it's a biggie to follow up yesterday's big moccaccino.
It'll never live up to the string of coffee facts we had yesterday.
Fact of the Day, Day, day, day, day.
Yeah.
Today's fact of the day is about a fern in Australia,
the desert fern.
Nah, do the desert fern.
Okay.
Is it that fern you touch it and
its leaves go... Don't touch me.
No. Don't touch me. Tickle, tickle.
It's so much better if plants
made noise. Oh my god.
How fun would it be? Imagine the noise in my house
though. Yeah, well you'd go around
water in the mead and you'd just hear...
Thank God.
Oh no no not talking
I don't want them to talk
that would be scary
I don't want them talking
what like
like kind of creaking
and groaning
little noises
right
didn't they work out
like when vegans
eat lettuce
the lettuce is like
crying out
oh no it's when
the lettuces get cut
and plucked
they send out a noise to the other lettuces Get cut and plucked They Oh they're like
They send out a
They send out a noise
To the other lettuces
Being like
Watch out
She's coming
There's a machete
There's a machete coming
Yeah run
Oh wait
Women and children
Women and children
Yeah
What?
Run
I'm a lettuce
What?
I'm rooted in the ground
Yeah
We're not going anywhere
Yeah
And then what is it
What grows so quick it squeaks
is it asparagus asparagus grows very very quickly asparagus might be it's asparagus
season brussels sprouts grow so quick oh okay wow yeah it is asparagus season hooray hooray i love
asparagus hooray for smelly weeds and it doesn't make my way season soon corn and asparagus on the
barbecue with a steak yeah why did you why have you put your lip away?
When you start talking about asparagus and corn, your lip disappears.
Because I got excited.
Right.
I'm just going to eat up that corn.
Well, this is about a fern that was discovered.
This is another little sub fact of the day when I was reading about this fern.
The people that discovered what I'm about to tell you about it,
they were trekking across Australia.
Did you know before they mapped out the middle part of Australia,
which they didn't do for a very long time,
they assumed there was a giant lake or an ocean in the middle of Australia.
Because it's so big. It's too big.
They're like, why haven't we had any water in there?
And it turns out there's not.
If you were a mapper, though,
of course you'd put Australia in the too hard basket.
You'd be like, let's do the islands first.
We'll do New Zealand.
New Zealand took ages.
We went around this thing.
It's massive.
What's in the middle?
Have you seen early maps of New Zealand?
Yeah, duh.
They thought Banks Peninsula was an island
and they thought Stewart Island was a peninsula.
How dumb were they?
Did they not have a drone?
Get a satellite up.
Get up there.
Didn't they have Google Earth?
Yeah.
You dummies.
Dumb dumbs.
Dumb, dumb early 1800 cartographers.
You're dumb.
Shame.
With your sextons and your compasses.
Losers.
Anyway, they're all dead now, aren't they?
Yeah.
They won't hear this.
Don't feel sorry.
Of course we're joking, but they're also dead, so don't worry.
Yeah, better. This fern they joking, but they're also dead, so don't worry about it.
This fern they found, the Nardoo fern, I don't know if you know this,
you can eat ferns.
A lot of ferns, you can eat the roots of ferns or the early unfurling of ferns,
take all the furry bits off, lots of yum-yum.
Yeah, you can eat ferns.
And so these explorers were like, obviously they couldn't carry too much food with them,
so they were like, oh, a fern.
Let's eat this fern.
Well, this fern, the Nardoo, they were eating a ton of it a day.
But they were all losing all the weight and like pretty much starving to death.
And it's because there's something in this fern that stops your body being able to process food and get nutrients from it.
The food just passes straight through you.
Where do we find this fern?
In Australia.
I know.
You feel full, but your body's not getting any nutrients off it.
Oh, my God.
Fantastic.
But you're missing the key part here.
Your body's not getting any nutrients.
Yeah, but you can buy those in a bottle.
Take a Barocca or something.
Get a Panadol.
Yeah.
Get an IV drip.
And put some Vegemite in it. Vegemiteol. Yeah, get an IV drip with all like,
and put some Vegemite in it.
Vegemite's got everything, right?
Oh my God, absolutely.
They're always saying they've got everything.
Put a Vegemite in the drip.
Beautiful.
And away we go.
But yeah, it stopped them from the thiamine.
The enzyme is called thiaminase,
and thiamine is what it stops breaking down.
That's vitamin B1.
So you couldn't get any vitamin B1,
which of course helps you draw things from the food you eat.
Vis-a-vis, they were starving to death.
Wow.
Even though they were eating tons of this plant.
Well, no, one of the...
Okay, just for them to map anything.
Yeah.
They were lethargic.
Just absolutely starving.
So today's fact of the day is there's a fern in Australia
that bucks the trends of ferns being edible
and actually makes it impossible for your body to absorb any nutrients.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah. Do-do-do-do-do. You ain't nothing but a dog player, I get it.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM.
Well, most mornings in this studio, we're on Cow Watch, Calf Watch.
But this morning, we were on Costco Watch.
Costco opened today.
And we wanted to get an on-the-ground report.
So we contacted New Zealand Hero Focus reporter
Cherie Kinnear. Good morning Cherie.
Good morning guys. How's it going?
Don't worry about us. You're in
heaven right now.
How is it here?
Is it heaven? We've got to remind
everyone this is not a paid endorsement. It's just
a fascinating thing for us.
Is it heaven or is it hell?
A bit of both.
Okay.
Let's start with the bad news.
What's bad about it?
Oh, no, not bad at all.
It's just very busy this morning,
but it's great.
It's really, really great.
It's good to see, I mean,
so many Kiwis coming in
and they were only supposed to open
at eight o'clock this morning.
We rocked up just past seven
and people were already in the door
and we were like,
oh, we're late to the party.
So they actually let people in early. Oh, wow. Okay, because people were already in the door. And we were like, oh, we're late to the party. So they let people in early.
Oh, wow.
Okay, because people were camping overnight, weren't they?
Yeah, or at least I heard from as early as like three,
four o'clock this morning that there were people coming into the car park
and lining up.
We should have broadcasted from the line.
That's about the time that we drive past it,
Vaughan and I on our way to work.
What have you seen?
When you walked in, what took your eye? What's for sale?
Oh, there's just honestly so
much. I think the first two things when you walk in the
door, I mean, the first thing I saw were these giant
teddy bears that were probably twice the size of a human,
which were absolutely massive.
And then to the left of that, you've got, like, engagement
rings and jewellery, like, really expensive
stuff. Don't have those by the door?
Don't they know about our ram rating? Yeah, but better
if they're going to ram,
the better they just ram
the front of the shop.
I've been,
you couldn't ram rating.
I've got some bull eyes,
is it?
Literally,
you'd have to go
down the stairs
in your car.
Good, good.
How much are the coffins,
Cherie?
Because that's,
when I picked up
my membership card,
that's what I saw,
the coffins.
The coffins,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're sort of
towards the back end
of the store,
right next to the Astro Turf and the Spar Pools.
Spar Pools.
So much random stuff.
It is so random what you can buy there, right?
Yeah.
We were walking around the store,
just sort of talking about all the things we saw,
and I just thought, is there something they don't sell?
It's just everything.
Is it cheap, though?
Because I always feel like there's no point in us getting excited
about this thing if it's just as expensive as everything else right now.
Yeah, no, the prices are really, really good.
I mean, you could get a Calvin Klein T-shirt for about $25,
which is pretty good.
Penny, it's not 1994.
No, the 90s are back, baby.
Yeah, the 90s are back.
Oh, my God.
Are you sure they're not those Clavin Cleans that I got in Bali?
No, these ones are legit.
They're legit.
Oh, okay.
Wow.
Oh, yeah.
I can't wait to go check it out.
What about the lollies, Cherie?
What about the lollies?
Yeah, what have we got, lollies?
Yeah, yeah, lots of that.
There's heaps of really interesting sort of like food stuff as well.
So you can get these massive jars of jelly beans and all sorts.
They've got a lot of American-type stuff,
but then you've also got the local stuff too.
So you've got lots of Kiwi brands in bulk,
and then you've got the real American stuff that you see
all the time on movies and stuff.
Do they do the big buckets of cheese balls?
Cherie, have you seen those?
I don't know if I saw cheese balls, but, I mean,
there was just too much to see.
I probably missed them.
I wouldn't be surprised if they had them.
Report back to me on that one.
What about pickles, Cherie?
You love your bagels.
Do they have buckets of pickles?
Yeah.
Yay!
Oh, my gosh.
It is wild.
And it's amazing that you've got to get a membership to shop there,
but that hasn't stopped people, has it?
No, no.
I mean, people are signing up.
I can see people where I am signing up still,
and we've had so many people sign up before it even opened.
We're all signed up.
Because obviously the petrol was open.
But, I mean, people signing up, they couldn't even use it for months.
Wow.
And people, is it true that people have,
have you talked to anyone that's flown to Auckland for the opening?
Yeah, yeah.
There are a few people that flew in, people drove up from other parts of the country.
I think they were among the few that were here very, very early.
Wow.
Get a grip, eh, Cherie?
These people need to get a grip.
That's so brilliant.
I love it.
Cherie, thank you so much.
Can you pick us up a big bucket of Vegemite, please?
And pickles.
Yeah, sure.
I'll bring it back.
And some crackers.
Let me know about the buckets of cheese balls
because I got one of those in America once.
So we've got an order for a big Vegemite,
a big bucket of cheese balls,
and a big bucket of pickles.
I'll put it on the shopping list.
And some crackers.
And three coffins because we'll eat so much.
We'll need it after that.
Make mine an extra, extra large.
Thanks, Cherie.
New Zealand Herald Focus reporter.
Thank you so much.
Thanks for having me. Little pose, silly little pose. Silly little pose, silly little pose.
Silly little pose.
Be honest, are you a gracious loser, a gracious loser, or a sore loser?
I'm a bit of a sore loser.
I'm a sore loser.
I don't like losing.
Like, I don't do things.
You know, when people are like, it's just a game.
It's like, you know, you play a game to win.
Yeah, your face is just a game. It's like, yeah, no, you play a game to win. Yeah, your face is just a game.
That's what I say.
Yeah.
A jumbled game that I can't work out.
Yeah, yeah, a terrible game that won't sell well,
and then Milton Bradley will regret ever investing, you know,
2022's R&A, R&D rather, into developing your face.
Yeah.
I tend to avoid just playing games because I know if I lose,
it's just a bad night.
It's a sore loser.
So I'd rather not participate.
Yeah.
And, you know, just sit and watch
and have a little wine
rather than play.
Yeah.
The older I get,
the more I just don't care.
Yeah.
Winning or losing, you know,
it's all the same.
You've just given up, haven't you?
Yeah.
That's fair enough.
Yeah.
Like, yeah, you're getting all, you know,
oh, big deal, you won the US Open tennis,
but, you know, what is that going to matter five years' time, you know?
Yeah, that's true.
When you're on your deathbed and you've won the US Open,
people are going to be like,
hey, you did well that time you won the US Open.
Yeah.
They probably would be, actually.
They probably would be, actually.
Bad example, bad example.
Whereas when you're on your deathbed,
they'll be like, you've won nothing, Vaughn.
Yeah, and I'm like, well, you nothing, Warren. Looking back at your life.
You know what?
I didn't try, so I didn't win or I didn't lose.
I mean, I'm exiting with the neutrality that I entered.
Yeah.
Fair call.
No thought of feeling towards or against anything.
I will be remembered as long after I'm gone as I was thought about how long before.
Jeez.
Wow.
Today's, what was the result for a silly little poll?
57% of people believe themselves to be gracious losers.
I don't believe that.
Neither.
43% said I'm a sore loser.
Andrea writes, gracious loser on the outside, very sore loser on the inside.
Yeah, I think that's a bit of me.
Yeah, because you're not going to pack a tanty.
I don't even care.
I don't care.
So why are we pushing the issue? I don't care. It's just
a game. I don't care. It's fine. Let's not
ever play again. I had fun. It was fun.
Yeah. Why do you keep saying you don't care?
Because I don't. Because I don't.
I don't care. Andress is
gracious to your face, then stew on the loss
for way too long. Yeah, totally.
Stacey said, I hate losing so bad.
So, so, so bad.
Yeah. She hates losing. That. So, so, so bad. Yeah.
She hates losing.
That's a sore loser.
Nicola.
Gracious loser until I get home and then I bag out everybody.
Oops.
That seems to be the thing, eh?
To the face, the gracious.
Look out, everybody on that Indoor Netball team.
Louise says, there should have been a third option.
A, gracious loser.
B, sore loser.
C, I don't lose.
She's a sore loser.
The option's already there, Louise. Sore loser.
You've got it written all over you.
Melissa said, gracious now, but it only comes with age. I was definitely a sore
loser when I was younger. Extremely
competitive. Yeah.
Extremely competitive. Maybe like you. You just
mature and you don't care. I once played a game of
rugby against my second cousin, and
at the end of the game, I didn't want to shake hands.
So I just walked off the field.
I did this quite often.
That's sore.
That's a sore loser.
Yeah.
So I see where Melissa's coming from.
And the next time I saw my granddad, he said,
I hear you didn't shake your second cousin's hand.
I was like, big pardon?
My second cousin told his grandmother, who was my grandfather's sister.
And he's like, don't do that, boy.
Always shake hands.
Did you have any family left being such a loser at sports?
Such a loser?
Yeah.
A sore loser.
A sore loser.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
What do they call it when you divorce your family?
Emancipation.
Yeah, great.
Me and Mariah Carey.
Start again.
The Emancipation of Mimi and the Emancipation of Vivi.
Kim says, I lose so often it doesn't even matter anymore,
but I am a really bad winner.
Oh, okay, yeah, right.
Yeah, really.
In your face, I win.
So good.
The people that act like that don't win often.
I feel like you've got to give it to them, you know?
Let them have their little loser's moment in the light.
Chox says, gracious until it's Monopoly.
It's a trigger thanks to my older brother
being a smug git when we were kids.
I have been known to throw the entire board.
Yeah.
So there you go.
I never lost Monopoly.
Because you cheated.
But that's life, isn't it?
You always say I'm the banker
when you sneak little...
Bankers and financial institutions
are always ripping off the little guy.
Yeah.
That's just life, isn't it?
Yeah. It's the way, isn't it? Yeah.
It's the way the cookie crumbles.
Deal with it.
