Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley podcast. Thanks to McCafe, try the refreshing McCafe iced coffee, available now at Macca's. Hi! Hey babe! Hey! So I got a message from an Instagram account a while ago when I was making some Friday night smash burgers.
Starting point is 00:00:24 Okay. This is from the burger appreciation page. Yeah. They were very, very nice and I started following them. And they just, a lot of them are overseas. Some of them are in New Zealand and they all contribute to this page. And it's all about burgers. And they all just eat burgers.
Starting point is 00:00:38 And they rate the burgers, tell you where the burgers are from, if this is a good burger. And they'll tell you how it is. They're not afraid to call a shit burger a shit burger. Okay. Anyway, they said that Amy, who is a crucial member of the Burger Appreciation Society, it's her birthday today. Oh, okay. And she is currently stuck overseas because she hasn't,
Starting point is 00:00:58 despite her trying, been able to get an MIQ spot to come home. Has she tried contacting the Herald? Yeah. to get an MIQ spot to come home. Has she tried contacting the Herald? Yeah, and painting one picture, but when you read the article, there's a bit more to it. Has she tried tagging Jacinda in a Facebook post? Yes, an angry one that would certainly make the Prime Minister, who's currently in isolation due to close contact with an Omicron case, be like, you know what, I'll change the law.
Starting point is 00:01:23 I like when people get very, very angry at me on Instagram is when I decide laws will be changed. I wonder if she even can be bothered doing her job. I'd just leave. I would be head under pillow. I'd take some fucking isolation too. Clark, I wouldn't do it anymore. Yeah, I feel for everybody stuck overseas.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Yeah, same. Shitty times at the moment. But no, you know, Clark's there to help out because he's on home detention. There are some wild rumors going around. This is the craziest bullshit internet craziness that is on its like eighth round that has been disproven in the first seven rounds. But why not? We'll try to get on our way. It's a wild time.
Starting point is 00:02:07 So he's not on home detention? No. Oh. No. No. Yes. And this time, I heard.
Starting point is 00:02:15 That's what they'll tell you. I heard. It's because he got caught with too many undersized crayfish. Yeah. Because that'll be John's home detention. They covered it up. Because it works with the police. Really? Yeah. And so they said it was. She must work. And they covered it up. Yeah. Because I have a friend that works with the police. Really?
Starting point is 00:02:26 Yeah, and so they said it was... She must work. And they covered it up. Yeah, so my friend's cousins are partners in the police and so they... They know.
Starting point is 00:02:33 But don't... Because my auntie works with someone whose cousin is in a government department. Oh, wow. And they know. What I love about these centres is it's always like,
Starting point is 00:02:42 this is about to break. Yeah, what you're about to hear. You heard it here first. Tomorrow, watch the news. This is about to break. And it never breaks, does it? No. I guess this is never broken.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Never breaks. Unless it is the headline, current rumour full of fucking shit. Who's birthday? Burger friend's having a birthday. Amy. Amy. Amy's birthday And she's on the burger page Does she run it?
Starting point is 00:03:10 No she's involved And then they said We love Dungeons and Dragons for life And then I was like yay And they said I hope you're looking forward To the new Star Wars series I said what do you mean?
Starting point is 00:03:18 And they said Boba Fett And I was like mate We're almost finished Boba Fett And they said I won't lie to you I don't know anything about Star Wars and Dungeons and Dragons. I was just really trying to appeal to your nerd side. What is this group?
Starting point is 00:03:28 I thought this group was about burgers. It is about burgers. What are you talking about? Well, they were trying to, like, butter me up. Trying to connect. Well, it's worked, hasn't it? Yeah, I mean, I just want to see more pictures of burgers. You butter.

Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Two minutes past six. A lot of the country probably fast asleep right now enjoying a long anniversary weekend. I made sure as I backed down the drive this morning and drove through my suburb that I

Starting point is 00:04:16 I did. I don't think my social life sort of, you know, cotton-on-ed my new routine. We had a Sunday dinner party. I'm all right. I've had four. I've had four hours. At your house. At our friend's house.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Oh, this was your first come-dine with me. Our first come-dine with me. How did they go? They set the bar high. What did they run us through the menu and entertainment? Okay, the first was a caramelised onion and feta tart tatan. Was the starter. What's a tart tatan?
Starting point is 00:04:42 Is that a starter or is that how you say it? Tart tatan. It's a tart tatan? Is that a starter or is that how you say it? Tart tatan. It's like a pastry. Pastry, like a little pastry thing. With a beautiful side salad. And then a homemade sweet corn ricotta and spinach ravioli. Wait. Homemade pasta.
Starting point is 00:04:58 This wasn't vegetarian. It was, but no one's a vegetarian. With a big leg of ham on the side. I'm so excited for the meat. There we go, there we go. And PUD was like a cardamom pistachio homemade ice cream. I mean, they were all there. And they did all of it.
Starting point is 00:05:13 They did all of it. Oh, wow. And then our entertainment was a photo shoot. We had a photo shoot. It was really, really fun. And we're up next. We did a paper scissors rock with the second couple, the two couples that didn't go, and we're up next. We did a Papers is Rock with the second couple who, you know, the two couples that didn't go
Starting point is 00:05:25 and we're next. Can you imagine having a photo shoot at a dinner party? To put into context, these are six people that met at drama school. Right. Oh, okay, so they love attention. Yeah, oh, we love it. Oh, we love it. Yeah, we did think that we were all wearing wigs and costumes
Starting point is 00:05:42 and stuff, having a photo shoot in their garage. On a Sunday night. On a wild Sunday night. Good lord. Actors, eh? Coming up on the show today, it all kicks off at 8 o'clock. It's back and to cart.

So 8 o'clock this morning, we'll add the first item to cart and then again at 11, 2 and 4. And we've been told we're not allowed to look in the envelopes
Starting point is 00:06:10 until 8 o'clock. They want us to be surprised. But I'm like, you've been to acting school. I'm an actor. I'll read it and then I'll give you the performance of a lifetime. Yeah. Oh my God. What?
Starting point is 00:06:24 So 8 o'clock for Add to Cart, the top six is coming up. Yeah. Oh my God. What? So eight o'clock for Add to Cart, the top six is coming up. Yeah, home and away. Palm Beach is where it's filmed in Australia, just north of Sydney and they would kindly like
Starting point is 00:06:34 Alf Stewart, Irene, what's her face? And the ghost of Chris Hemsworth to piss off. They've had enough. Yeah. The locals have had enough
Starting point is 00:06:43 of not being able to use their beach. Most of it's filmed in studios anyway, isn't it. Yeah. The locals have had enough of not being able to use their beach. Most of it's filmed in studios anyway, isn't it? Yeah. But it's the external shots that they film at the beach.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Up there. So I've got the six new places for Home and Away to film. Alright. Also coming up, five signs your partner might be micro-cheating. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:07:00 For those suspicious out there. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. All right. Because there's already not a thousand of them to scroll through to find the one that best suits the sort of mood where you could have just probably in the time it took to find the perfect emoji just written how you feel.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Yeah. But you've got to write the emoji. Some new emojis are inbound. I think melty face looks pretty cool. You've got to write the emoji. Some new emojis are inbound. I think melty face looks pretty cool. This is a face that you've fritted. You're at a festival and it's the end of the day and you've chewed your face off. Your face is being so chewed off it's starting to melt. Your teeth are half the length that they were.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Yeah. I feel like we knew about some of these emojis, but they're imminent imminent, aren't they? Yes. This is going to be in the iOS 15.4 beta, but it's Unicode, so it'll be everywhere. Some of them are very usable.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Little peeking through the eyes. Like you're watching a horror movie and you're looking through your fingers. Oh my god, I can't watch for example. There's a salute. There's a half a face movie and you're looking through your fingers. Oh my god, I can't watch for example. There's a salute. There's a half a face, very stern straight face with a salute. Oh yeah, okay. I use that a lot. There's an invisible it's kind
Starting point is 00:08:14 of like the emoji version of the Homer Simpson walking backwards into the bush Oh yeah, that'd be good. I wish I wasn't here, straight faced. There's, you know the big puppy dog eyes that we're saying is like when you're begging for it and it's like a little bit pathetic. And you kind of get eyes welled up.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Well, this one's welled up, but it's got like a smile, like you're happy. And like, you know, when you get so overwhelmed with happiness, there might be a little bit in the corner, a little bit of welling up. There's some coral reefs, which is a bit sad. I don't know if we're going to be able to use that one anymore. Yeah, because they're not even bleached. No, they're orange, which is just, that doesn't exist.
Starting point is 00:08:50 There's, is that Neptune? Is that like, what is this ogre-y looking situation? Oh. Oh, no, it's not. I thought it might have been like Neptune, like King of the Sea. Right. Poseidon. Are those kidney beans?
Starting point is 00:09:03 Yeah, those are kidney beans. Who sits down there like, right, it is time for a refresh. What are we missing? Do you think they have a board meeting? The people in charge of emojis? What do we need most? Yeah, there's a disco ball, which I think is good call. It's been very much needed.
Starting point is 00:09:19 The two hands making a heart. That's nice. Oh, yeah. That's cute. There's a biting the lip. There's like the lips. You know the lips where there yeah. That's cute. There's a biting the lip. There's like the lips. You know the lips where there's just the lips, but it's like biting the bottom lip.
Starting point is 00:09:32 There's some new handshakes, which is great. Yeah, interracial handshakes. Interracial handshakes. Oh, okay. And the pregnant man emoji. There's a pregnant man emoji, and there's also pregnant non-binary. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Yeah. And there's this You know where you pretend you're rubbing two coins together. Hey show us a little bit of a queen and you rub your finger and your thumb together There's that in there too now Out of these, which ones do you think you'll use the most? I quite like the point
Starting point is 00:10:00 right down the barrel point you Uncle Sam, we want you. I reckon you're a bitey lip. Do you want to go out for brunch? I don't know. What is your name?
Starting point is 00:10:16 Yeah, it's more of an appetite bite than a sexual one. Do we know when this update's out? Nah, didn't read that much, didn't care. Stopped caring. It'll just be a red bubble on your phone one day soon
Starting point is 00:10:27 and you'll be like, ugh, another update. Oh, it's a next update. So it's a troll. That thing is like a troll. So you can say, I've been trolled. Trolling you.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Oh, right. That's a troll. Identifying a troll. Yeah. Likely be a few weeks, it says. Lots of questions about why we needed
Starting point is 00:10:44 an empty glass jar. And the feedback further down, everyone's like, I can understand most of these, but what's this? iOS, that next iOS update is going to also be able to do face ID while you're wearing a mask. Yeah, I saw that. That's good. Especially if you use Apple Pay, tap, tap, and it's like, nope, who are you?
Starting point is 00:11:04 You're going to pay with passcode. But now you're going to be able to set it up so it will ID your face with the mask on. I went to Apple Pay the other day and it didn't work, so I took my mask off so I could see my face and then I was like, oh, that defeated the purpose, didn't it? Yeah. Totally. Masks don't work. This is what we've learned.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley. Here's something to spoil your day. If you're just a little something to spoil your day if you're a little bit suspicious that your partner might be having a little bit of a flirtation behind your back. I always wonder what it's like to be in a car with your partner and you hear a radio station be like,
Starting point is 00:11:35 here's something that might get you discussing something with your partner. Does it look like, what looks worse, sitting through it and having to deal with your partner like totally thinking you do at least two of these five things? Or reaching down and flicking across the radio station. So then they're like, why did you do that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:52 You get that guilty before you even know what you're being accused of. Yeah, guilty. Yeah, definitely a guilty sign. Well, I've got the five signs that your partner is micro-cheating. Oh, what do you reckon they're doing on The Rock? So this is from a psychologist. They've revealed the five signs of micro-cheating. So micro-cheating, I'm guessing, is your sexting,
Starting point is 00:12:15 your messaging, your little flirtations. Sexting's not micro-cheating, right? That is cheating. Sexting's like cheating. That's macro. Yeah. That's like, yeah, proper. But it's not like the full. It's not physical, but sex things.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Yeah. Wow. Here's a number one there. Still subscribe to a dating site. Yep. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Yeah. Alarm bells.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Even so, you know, like if you met on a dating site perhaps and you just haven't gone around to. Like it's been a month or two. Yeah. And you're like, you have sort of decided you're exclusive, but they haven't removed that. It's undermining month or two. Yeah, and you're like, you have sort of decided you're exclusive, but they haven't removed that. It's undermining your current relationship. The next one is you hang out,
Starting point is 00:12:49 they hang out with someone that they fancy. So that, I mean, these are a little bit obvious, aren't they? These are not even, to me, they still fancy someone as a sign. So if they spend time with a colleague That you know they would find attractive Basically Or you've noticed that there's sexual tension between them And they constantly go like Oh me and Jess are gonna have brunch
Starting point is 00:13:14 I'd like to apologise to all of your partners It must be pretty hard and harrowing Knowing every day Before the sun's up They're sending their loved ones off. Don't you kiss them. Don't you dare. Don't you do it. Don't you dare look at his package. Try to keep your eyes on the prize.
Starting point is 00:13:32 The prize is not his package. The next one is they keep up with their ex, so they still chat with them on social media. Right. That's situationally dependent. Yeah, I agree. Personally, but I know some people just kind of amicably parted ways and they won't go back there.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Yeah. They flirt with your mates. Yep. What's the level of where it goes from being friendly to being free? When you're out with them, they spend more time chatting and flirting with your friends than they do with you. I like that, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Because they're so charismatic and my friends are like, Aaron! Aaron! Aaron's so fun! And I'm like, yeah, he's my man. Aaron, what do you think of these nipples? Check them out. And the last one is that they downplay their attraction to someone,
Starting point is 00:14:20 so they might go like, oh, what do you think of Sarah? They'll be like, oh, she's a dog! Oh, no, no, no, no way. No, I wouldn't dream of it. But then there's no perfect balance there. Yeah, I know. You can't win. Because you've got to find the south of flirting, but north of
Starting point is 00:14:38 plying it down. I'm surprised there's not one about the speed in which they grab their phone when it goes off. Yeah, I thought it was going to be stuff like that or like Instagram scrolling or following. Yeah, no, it's just they talk to other women. Okay, so
Starting point is 00:14:56 big red flags there. Big red flags. 20 past 6, next on the show, if you haven't done today's Wordle, a language expert We're not giving it away. There'll be absolutely spoiler free on today's Wordle. I'm going to give it a go. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:15:08 A language expert has weighed in with the ultimate first word. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Wordle is taking the world
Starting point is 00:15:17 by storm. A couple of days ago, three million players worldwide. I thought it would have been more. I thought it would have been more too.
Starting point is 00:15:23 I know most of those are probably New Zealanders. It was massive in New Zealand. I thought it would have been more too. I know most of those are probably New Zealanders. It was massive in New Zealand. I think it got a real kick in New Zealand. Yeah, it's not an app. It's just a website. You get one go a day. You've got to guess a five letter word and you've got five chances. Yeah, I'm having a go now and I'm
Starting point is 00:15:38 really, I'm up to number three and I'm not doing well. I'm new to this. This is maybe my second go, my third. You're not hooked as much as Horne. You're every day, aren't you? Nah, yeah. Yep. I missed one once since I've started, which cost me a streak.
Starting point is 00:15:52 But you know what I'm like with a streak? The minute I say that word streak. So the idea is you put in your first word as a guess, but it's that first word that's important because it will tell you if a letter is in the right place or if a letter is in the word at all. Yeah. And if it's grey, it's not present. If it's yellow, it's in the word but not in the right place. And if it's green, you got it buddy, right there.
Starting point is 00:16:12 So a lot of talk about what your first word should be. Because I've gone for a five letter word in my first one all grey. Yes. I've even tried this word that a language expert reckons is the best word. And it didn't work.
Starting point is 00:16:27 So a language expert has weighed in over what the ultimate first word for wordle is. And he goes into why this is. Letter frequencies it comes down to. E is the most popular letter in the English language, appearing in 46% of words. Holy moly. Congratulations, E. That's because it's silent at the end of a lot of words
Starting point is 00:16:52 as well as being in the middle. Yeah. And has something to do with like the 16th century and words and stuff. The next common letter. That's some great etymology there. Thank you so much for partaking in the history of the letter E. That's the history of words and stuff.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Imagine that on Sesame Street. Today's letter is the letter E. The 16th century and stuff. Cookie. Followed by A, 39%. That's in 39% of words. R is in 34% of words. O is in 29.
Starting point is 00:17:21 I and S are tied for sixth place with 28%. What's last? Q. Oh, it doesn't say. Q really gets used without U. So it would have to be Q. Oh, no. X.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Quiet. I think X would be the least popular. Yeah. Okay. So he's worked out this language expert. The word sore. S-O-A-R-E. S-O-A-R-E. S-O-A-R-E.
Starting point is 00:17:47 The term for a young hawk. That's what a baby hawk's called, a soare. Which I think is also pronounced soare, is it? Yeah, like a party. You can do it, but not spelt that way. No, there's the same spelling.
Starting point is 00:18:01 One is Norwegian, young hawk. One is Romanian. Name. It's a name in Romanian. Okay. So apparently using... Soiree as in a party is S-O-I-R-E-E. Apparently using that word is the best
Starting point is 00:18:18 because there are other words that have R and a combination of those letters, but it puts the R later in the word, which is more likely. No, I'm steam. I start every day with steam. Because it gets your S to your T, a couple of vowels,
Starting point is 00:18:31 probably could do with another vowel. M's quite a popular. Yeah. I think if you Google, there are like quite a few words that people are using, but yeah, this language expert, based on how common letters are in words, says that sore, S-O-A says that SOARE is the most common.
Starting point is 00:18:48 But yet, you tried it first and you got... Spoiler alert. Oh, yeah, well... The rarest letter in the English alphabet and non-named words, Z, X, and J. J. J. Okay, so your first word shouldn X. And J. J. J.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Oh. Okay, so your first word shouldn't have a J in it. Unless you're absolutely going to fluke it. I guess most words with J's in it start with J. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my God. Adjoin.
Starting point is 00:19:21 This should be one of those Facebook things. Name a word with a J in it that's not at the start. Adjoin. You know how this was? Hayley's just done it. Adjust. Another one. Adjective.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Adjective. That doesn't start with A-D-J. Producer Jared, you had your first fail, Wordle fail over the weekend. Yeah, it was a rough day. Oh, mate, I'm so sorry. I know he sent it through to me because he sends every day a little update on how Jared did on Wordle,
Starting point is 00:19:47 and he sent it through, and it was like the first one, and it was like X. And an X. And I was just like, buddy. Mate, I'm so sorry. Tough. Yeah, mate. Stupid word yesterday, though.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Yeah, it was ridiculous. Wrung, as in wrung out to dry. W-R-U-N-G. Yeah. That's hard. Yeah. I'm so sorry, Jared. Did you get it though? Yep. Oh, well, it's not that. And mum got it in three, which was
Starting point is 00:20:12 pretty killer. Is mum hooked now? Yeah, mum got me hooked. And now every day we send our little grids. It's totally like, my mum's not really a puzzle gal who's got time for bloody puzzles. That's what she'd say. I haven't got time for that. But she's all about this.
Starting point is 00:20:27 It's a real mum. It's a real mum trick. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I was talking to a friend at the weekend who was in the midst of deciding how they were going to deal with a berm invader. A berm invader. A berm invader. They live urbanly and somebody had parked on their berm, not just in front of
Starting point is 00:20:47 their house, which can be a little bit annoying if you live in the suburbs and there's parks for people, but you know, with high intensity housing, that's kind of going to become a problem everybody has to deal with. People who don't live in your house parking in front of your house, but this person was actually parked on his berm. So the berm is the grassy bit in front of your house, but this person was actually parked on his berm. So the berm is the grassy bit in front of your house, which is normally owned by the council. Yeah, you don't own it. But you mow it.
Starting point is 00:21:10 But if you wait for them to mow it, it'll never get mowed. So you mow it, you take care of it, you take some pride in your berm. And then this other person came and parked on his berm. He's like, I don't think this is illegal, but Christ, it's annoying. Well, especially if they ruin the lawn and they love their lawns. Yeah. We had, we're very berm proud in our household. As well as we should be.
Starting point is 00:21:32 And we had an issue because we were having, two houses ago, the apartments getting built across the road. So they'd have all their trucks backing out and then they'd have to back onto our berm and they'd like tear it into shreds with their massive truck wheels, which makes it very difficult to mow. Yeah. I'm like, the berm is mine.
Starting point is 00:21:51 If I mow it, I own it. Yeah, you've got a sort of a guardianship upon the berm. It's not legally yours, but as its guardian, you hope for the best for your berm. Can you plant on your berm? No. People have done that before. People do it.
Starting point is 00:22:06 There are berms with trees in them, but I think it's council planting trees. So you couldn't just cut the tree down. If you're looking after it, I reckon you should be allowed to plant. But the problem with trees is they don't want everyone going willy-nilly with trees because the roots can go down
Starting point is 00:22:20 and there are essential services sometimes under the berm. See the footpaths all cracked with the roots and stuff. Yeah, and like the sewage and the water and everything's down there. Even a veggie garden. I think they've told people to rip up veggie gardens. I think you should be allowed a raised garden. No, it looks yuck. Nothing's going to go down enough.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Nah, it looks yuck. You're more of an organic man in the ground, straight in the ground. Just have a nice green berm. But some people put rocks or posts, don't they, to stop. So they can't go, they'd have to go up over the curb onto the berm. That's what my suggestion was. A few well-placed sort of like landscaping rocks. Or fire bricks.
Starting point is 00:23:01 No, you just go straight over those. Oh, yeah, I suppose so. Unless you did a pile of firebrooks, but then you're the weird person with a pile of firebrooks on your front lawn. And it looks yuck. You've essentially built a small wall around your berm. Which, again, is illegal as well. You've walled it in, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:15 The Great Wall of Burma. But you're right, though. With the high-density housing popping up everywhere, there's no car parks. But the council don't even like you parking on the berms. They're anti-burn parking. They need to make some more car parks. Because they're going to the essential services under there
Starting point is 00:23:33 and if the heavy things are coming and going all the time, it can push, it can put undue pressure on there. So what's your friend going to do? Well, I think he's going to get some nice rocks. Yeah. A couple of which will be easier to move so that if they need access to their berm. But then you've also got to think about mowing.
Starting point is 00:23:49 What about road cones? Just 24-7? Just road cones outside your house? Yeah. I don't think that's berm proud. It's not berm proud and it looks a bit nasty. Yeah, but you're only putting them up when you're away in your car, right?
Starting point is 00:24:00 Oh, it's so ugly though. Somebody just messaged in saying, our neighbours have a caravan parked on their berm. It's a real pain in the arse because you can't see past it. Yes. Oh, yuck. Sometimes depending on the angle of your street, eh? If someone's parked on the berm you're like, I can't. You can't safely
Starting point is 00:24:16 see past them. If you've got a caravan, it's got to be on your property. Yeah, otherwise. Is someone living in the caravan? Because then that's someone on council. Yeah. Council, technically council property. I just listed on Trade Me and say just tow it away then that's someone on council. Yeah. Council, technically council. I just listed on Trade Me and say just tow it away. It's free for anyone. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Don't have to knock. Just transfer the money. Just take it. Hook her up and take her away. Maybe during work hours while they're at work. Yeah, yeah. Problem solved. They take away the caravan.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Yeah. I'll make sure it's empty. Yeah. Yeah. Most annoying but not to the level of being illegal behaviour can be taken care of in the most petty way possible. Exactly. From the sophisticated ZM Think Tank, this is the top six.
Starting point is 00:24:57 41 kilometres north of Sydney, Australia, you'll find Palm Beach. Yeah, beautiful beach. Palm Beach. Yeah, beautiful beach. Palm Beach. And since 1988, Palm Beach has been the home to home and away. That's the outdoor. That's Summer Bay. Yeah, Summer Bay. They do everything else in a film studio, don't they?
Starting point is 00:25:18 Yeah. All the sets and stuff. They have like a couple of film days, a fortnight up there, where they get all the outside stuff done. And if it's like bad weather and they need it to be nice, then they'll plan it around that. Yeah, right. Because I know people that have gone up there on filming day
Starting point is 00:25:32 when they've been in Australia and it's not there because it's too cloudy. Oh. And it's got to look beautiful. But it is an actual beach, Palm Beach. Yeah. Multi-million dollar homes. And those people, the residents of Palm Beach,
Starting point is 00:25:46 are saying that the TV production of Home and Away is creating an intimidating presence and ruining the public enjoyment of the green space. Oh, God. They were there first. Home and Away. They've made that place famous.
Starting point is 00:26:02 They'd be getting heaps out of tourism. People going to Summer Bay. Oh, yeah, and that's the famous. They'd be getting heaps out of tourism, people going to summer by. Oh, yeah, and that's the thing. They pay to film at, like, the surf club and stuff, but the residents are saying, yeah, that's all very well and good, but I don't get anything out of that. Enough's enough. Yeah, and the tourists are probably urinating on their letterbox and stuff.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Yeah, absolutely. And then they go down to the beach and look at all those trucks that are parked there. Yeah, I see that. Oh, my God, that's quite a lot, isn't it? Yeah, right. It's not a full-time production. They have to truck it all in and truck it all out every time they do work up there. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:34 It would be a bit of a pain. Yeah. So they want them to piss off, basically. Okay. So I've got the top six places for Home and Away to relocate to. Number six on the list, he got his start on Home and Away, and he's doing it right for himself. Chris Hemsworth's house in Bondi.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Oh, I bet it's nice. Oh, okay, yeah. Not Bondi. Yeah, he's in Bondi. No, he's not. No, he's got a couple of places. He's got a place in Bondi, but that massive place. Byron Bay.
Starting point is 00:27:01 Oh, Byron. That's Byron Bay. The Westfields. He's got the big Westfields. He's got that huge house up in Byron. Yeah, they could totally go up to Byron Bay. Oh, Byron. That's Byron Bay. The Westfields. He's got the big Westfields. He's got that huge house up in Byron. Yeah, they could totally go up to Byron. Yeah. He'd probably have a little private slice of the beach.
Starting point is 00:27:12 A little cove. They could use the cove. Hemsworth Cove. Yeah. How would they work that into the storyline, do you think? An earthquake and it changes the coastline? Yep. Yeah, 100%.
Starting point is 00:27:21 That would work well. Number five on the list of the top six places for home and away to relocate to. A lake. A cold lake. So it would be home and away with nipples. Right. Like a frosty, like, popor vibe. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Okay. Yeah. When they're swimming, they're like, shut up. They're like, is there water cold? And it's just like their nipples are two foot long. No. Would the surf club have to shut down? If it's a lake?
Starting point is 00:27:51 Just their lake club. Okay, lake club. The yacht club. Turn them into a water skiing club. Yeah. Okay. Number four on the list of the top six places for home and away to relocate to, the Mount. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:02 They could just go to the Mount. It's pretty much New Zealand's bloody summer bay, isn't it? Yeah, it is. We went there over summer and went for a walk up the Mount. At like an early... The absolute bodies going up there. There were some stunning units. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:28:14 Some very well put together. Everybody. Dudes with their shirts off. Glowing tans. That's what the Mount's all about. I know, just bods. Yeah, right. Hot lululemons.
Starting point is 00:28:25 Yeah, mate. You don't need to see that after Christmas dinner, do you? Nah. Nah, you don't. Nah. I wondered what they had for Christmas dinner. God, you're a mountain pest as well as a gym pest. I'm just pesting everywhere I go. Wow, pesting with your kids in tow?
Starting point is 00:28:37 Such a thin path. Yeah, it really is. A lot of brushing. Oh, beg your pardon. Whoopsie doopsie. And they're like, well, there's heaps of room. I'm like, no, no, no. We'll just... Mountain pest as well.
Starting point is 00:28:47 That's pest. Number three on the list of the top six places for home and away to relocate to are Wet n' Wild. Oh, yes. Wet n' Wild.
Starting point is 00:28:55 That'd be fun. They can turn the waves right up when it's like supposed to be a storm and stuff. Yeah, nice. And go down the slides. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Just sounds like a fun place to film something, to be honest. Number two on the list of the top six places for home and away to relocate to, just a totally CGI'd beach. Yeah. You can do anything these days. Yeah, just a big round green screen,
Starting point is 00:29:14 like how they've done, you know, the Mandalorian, and it's got a name, this new technique. It looks pretty. In fact, if you see the new TVNZ breakfast show thing, that's all fake. That's not a real set. There is not a room in TVNZ breakfast show thing, that's all fake. That's not a real set. There is not a room in TVNZ that looks anything like that. No, no, no, no. Two-story loft ceilings.
Starting point is 00:29:32 No. Very much like a Soviet missile bunker. It does. Inside TVNZ. And number one on the list are the top six places for Home and Away to relocate to. Love Island. Merge the two TV shows. That could work. They don't film Love Island all Merge the two TV shows. That could work.
Starting point is 00:29:46 They don't film Love Island all the time, right? No. It's got a beach. They've got the same bodies, same bikinis. Let's meld those two together and make it work. That is today's Top 6. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Paul Blart, Mall Cop, one. That's a good film. Paul Blart, Mall Cop, one. It's a good film. Paul Blart Mall Cop, two. Didn't need to happen. Right. But you just said the first one was a good film. Yeah, but it's not part of a trilogy or anything, is it? Paul Blart Mall Cop, three?
Starting point is 00:30:24 Kevin James has said he wants to kick off Paul Blart Mall Cop 3? Kevin James has said he wants to kick off Paul Blart Mall Cop 3. Why doesn't he just make a new film? Like a new, whole different story. It's not like he does intense character work and plays someone different every time. Full disclosure, I haven't seen either of the first two films. So stupid. Because they look so stupid. Wasn't there a Seth Rogen movie that came out about the same time
Starting point is 00:30:50 and he played a mall cop? There was two of them. They both came out very close to each other. Well, Paul Blart Mall Cop 1, the movie, was rated 34% on Rotten Tomatoes by critics. Audience rated it 43%. Like yourself, Hayley, you thought it was all right? Oh, it's a bit of a laugh.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Number two, the second film was rated 5% by critics. 5%! I haven't seen it. I can't vouch for it. And the audience, who are not critics themselves, rated it 33%. Yeah, we love trash. I don't know if we're getting a trashy... We're raccoons. We're in the bin. we love trash. I don't know if we're getting a trash.
Starting point is 00:31:25 We're raccoons. We're in the bin. We love trash. I don't know that there needs to be. There didn't need to be a second. There definitely doesn't need to be a third. Well, he's keen to make one. But it did get us talking about those really bad movies that critics hate, that most people don't like,
Starting point is 00:31:42 but you just absolutely love for some reason. Mine's like anything with Paul Rudd. You wouldn't say, I mean, like he's done some really great stuff, but he's done a lot of crap. And you wouldn't say that that stuff is very like critically acclaimed. What's an example of a crap Paul Rudd movie? Do you know which one I watched recently and just laughed the whole way through in tears? It was Wanderlust.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Which is the one where, like, everyone knows that one by, he does the monologue in the mirror when he's preparing to partner swap. Have you seen that? Oh, right, no. I'm gonna get up on ya. Oh, it's so funny. I can't say the words he says because it's rude. It's a funny one.
Starting point is 00:32:25 It's him and Jennifer Aniston. It's a piece of trash film and I love it. And I laughed and laughed and laughed. I have never even heard of that movie. I was going to say Paul Rudd doesn't do bad movies. Justin Theroux plays this like cult leader. It's so stupid. It is so funny.
Starting point is 00:32:41 You've got to watch it. You've got to watch it. I love a bit of trash. I feel like my brain is always ticking like Darude Sandstorm tempo. So I can't often sit down and watch like a Golden Globe nominated drama.
Starting point is 00:32:53 Like a slow burn drama. Historical drama. I'm always looking for a cheap laugh. Yeah. Good quick comedy. Quick one like no longer than an hour thirty. Yeah love a Will Ferrell. You see 80 minutes 82 minutes. You're, that sounds about right. Love a Judd Apatow. Yeah, love a Judd Apatow or a Will Ferrell movie.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, they're never gonna win awards, are they? Well, some of them have, but... No. Do you know which one was really bad, though? Amy Schumer's second film. You know where she was like, I'm ugly, but I'm pretty now. Oh, where she got a dong on the head.
Starting point is 00:33:25 She got a dong on the head. You're like, we can't have films now. No. Rebel Wilson, Amy Schumer. Feels the real 80s. Where we don our head and suddenly we're pretty. Yeah. Like a shallow hell. Yeah. I mean they learned that. They learned that lesson. I love a Jack Black. Well Jack Black doesn't make bad films. Jack Black only makes
Starting point is 00:33:42 the highest quality. He makes a lot of terrible films. He only makes the highest quality content. He makes a lot of terrible films. He's a great content creator. He is. Well, we wanted to open up the phones this morning and take your text messages. What are those terrible, horrible, trashy films that you
Starting point is 00:33:58 absolutely love? Do you have a favourite movie that nobody else likes? Christmas Time, I Reach for Love, actually. And I won't hear another word about it. That's not a, that's. That's a timeless. That's popular. Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:34:08 That's popular. I don't think that counts. I wanted to make sure. That's generally accepted, that movie. You're talking about if your like favourite film was Dude, Where's My Car? Yes. What shitty movie do you absolutely love
Starting point is 00:34:21 that other people just maybe can't stand? Yeah. Looking at you, people who are still watching those parody movies, you know, like Scary Movie came out and then there was like Superhero Movie and then they started covering. It's not about teen movies. Oh, that sucks. The first three Scary Movies were funny.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Problematic now. I wouldn't stand by them. Very problematic. Pick my straw, Hayden. Aren't you gonna Mix the potatoes Alright What really That was good
Starting point is 00:34:50 Give us a call 0800 Dial ZM You can text 9696 What really Shitty movie Do you absolutely love
Starting point is 00:34:56 And you stand by Play ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley We're talking about Movies that are terrible that you have a soft spot for an affinity for some trash
Starting point is 00:35:09 Yeah, news over the weekend that Paul Blart Mall Comp 3 could be in development We don't need that We don't need to We really don't need that But hearing from you this morning about those terrible movies that you just love Someone said Pootie Tang
Starting point is 00:35:24 I remember Pootie Tang What I remember Pootie Tang. What happens in Pootie Tang? There is a terrible movie. Is this Pootie Tang a lot? It's like 2001. Soul Plane as well. Now, Soul Plane, I can remember. They have a big purple 747 or something, don't they?
Starting point is 00:35:40 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Snoop Dogg's one of the pilots at one stage. The guy gets a massive payout because he's sitting on a toilet on a plane when he flushes it and it sucks his guts out his bum
Starting point is 00:35:49 and so he gets... So he buys a plane? Or something happens and so he gets a massive payout and he starts his own airline and he calls it a soul plane and it's like they put spinners on the wheels
Starting point is 00:35:58 and the plane's got hydraulics. Oh my God. Terrible movie. Terrible movie. Sam, what terrible movie do you love? Snakes on a Plane. Really? Yeah, no,
Starting point is 00:36:11 it's so terrible, but it's so good to the fact that, you know, 19-year-old Sam thought it would be funny to get a snake tattoo. There's a snake on this plane. How many times would you say you've watched Snakes on a Plane? Maybe 10 plus times.
Starting point is 00:36:29 That's too many. Do you know what? Of all the terrible movies that I've been Googling, Snakes on a Plane actually has quite a nice Rotten Tomatoes rating. Does it? 69%. 69%. Nice.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Yeah, but Snakes on a Train is terrible. Don't watch that one. Was that an official sequel or was that just like someone just ran with it? I don't think it was official. It was terrible. Right. Because it was all of those scary animal. Sharknado.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Sharknado. Mega shark versus giant crocodile. Thingiverse Godzilla. Oh, no, those were good. Hey, that was a blockbuster. Sam, thanks for your call. Come now, come now. Beth, what was the terrible movie that you absolutely love?
Starting point is 00:37:06 So, mine is Hat by Mike Myers. Oh, Cat in the Hat, Dr. Seuss. Yeah, I'm such a fan. The only acceptable work from Mike Myers. Yeah, Mike Myers in anything is pretty good, but I feel like Cat in the Hat was a bit of a flop. Yeah, 9% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Starting point is 00:37:27 I don't think 9%. It was generally loved by the audience that it was meant to be targeting, right? Beth, thanks for your call. Victoria, what really bad movie do you love? Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve.
Starting point is 00:37:43 No! After Love actually was like a success, Hollywood's like, we've got to get these huge ensemble casts around a holiday. Don't you look at those casts and wonder how, what did they pay them to say yes to doing this? I know. Zac Efron is so bad in that movie.
Starting point is 00:38:00 It's honestly the worst movie he's ever been in. But it feels like with those movies, because of how much the cast would have cost, they promised they could get all their filming done in like three days. Oh, absolutely. We've got Zac Efron for three days. We're just going to say the lines to you,
Starting point is 00:38:15 you say them back to us, and we'll record it. Yeah. Absolutely. They're so bad, but they're so good to put on, you know, with a bottle of wine and some chocolate. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. You seem a little bit comfy there. 18% on Rotten Tomatoes, Valentine's Day.
Starting point is 00:38:30 So there you go. Victoria, thank you. Some messages in. Quite a few people saying Sharknado. Quite a few people. The first one was okay, but I think the eighth was they've probably done enough sharks and tornadoes. The Twilight series, it's so bad.
Starting point is 00:38:46 The acting is terrible, but it is such a guilty pleasure. You weren't there for the acting, though, were you? I've never seen Twilight, any Twilights. I thought they would have been right in your kind of goth. No, I was too old. I was out of it. Right, yeah. Someone said, what about all the American pies?
Starting point is 00:39:03 The first one was alright But after that They were pretty trash Did you see Was it Someone like Vice Or someone did an article Where they got like Millennials or Gen Zers
Starting point is 00:39:12 To watch American pie And give like Their thoughts on it And they were just like It's very problematic Oh yeah Hugely problematic
Starting point is 00:39:19 We loved The more problematic The better Yeah Like back in the 90s In the early 2000s That's what we loved. Those coming of age movies in the late 90s were just.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Oh, yeah. Racial stereotypes. I mean, they were everywhere. They weren't afraid to throw them right around. Somebody else said, any Jim Carrey movie? Oh, he's done some good ones. Fun with Dick and Jane. I love that.
Starting point is 00:39:42 I haven't seen that one. You know when it's like him, he gets fired and then loses everything and then they become robbers? That's right. Yeah, it was a bit of fun. Now, me, myself and Irene, whilst now looking back on it, might be slightly problematic.
Starting point is 00:39:55 I watched it like a couple of weeks ago. I don't know why. We put it on. It's bad now. It's naughty. It's no good. Naughty. But we can't watch it.
Starting point is 00:40:02 We can't support it. Can we? Problematic. Ace Ventura also on a rewatch is like, that wouldn't get made. He's a pest. There's a certain aspect. He's an absolute pest.
Starting point is 00:40:14 This is very exciting. We're about to be joined in studio by our resident sexologist, Morgan Penn, talking to us about the seven-year itch. Yeah, how to keep your relationship fresh. How itchy is it? And how do we scratch it? Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Now we are very excited this morning to be joined in studio by sexologist extraordinaire Morgan Penn. Great to have you in studio. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here. Pleasure indeed. Speaking of pleasure, we want to talk to you about the famous seven-year itch.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Oh. Is it real? Why is it there? What happens at seven years? Okay. So it's not actually a thing. It's just a thing that people have used to represent a point, like a pivotal place in a relationship where things kind of slump. And it's like the honeymoon phase is over and things are getting a bit boring, routine,
Starting point is 00:41:08 and people start questioning, do I even really want to be here? But actually studies show that this happens more like at the four-year mark and people tend to carry on. But nothing usually changes unless they actually work for it at that point. And then they get to about seven years
Starting point is 00:41:24 and they're like, this is not good. So it's the fact that over the last three to four years of your relationship at the seven-year mark, nothing has changed. Correct. You've been stagnant. Stagnant is the word. So what sort of things should people change
Starting point is 00:41:36 to avoid the seven-year itch? Well, I mean, the thing is, it's like a great opportunity, right, to get on the same page, especially if communication hasn't been a strong point in the relationship. It's time to go, what's working? What's not working? What's our common goal here? Like, honestly, life's too short, right, to be having these mediocre relationships that you just do in the daily grind. The relationship should be fun and exciting. And there's so many
Starting point is 00:42:00 different things you can do to, like, keep that going. And, you know, we sort of think we know a person after seven years. Like, we know every single thing about them. And so our curiosity fades. So it's about bringing the curiosity back into the relationship. It was probably about seven years that I really got into nipple play. It took you seven years? I was pretty just stoked with it happening full stop. And then, you know, why not?
Starting point is 00:42:26 Yeah, and what did that change for you? Well, I just loved it, didn't I? And continue to. I'll go on record and say, don't neglect the nipples. Guys' nipples or girls' nipples, that's an erogenous zone for both genders. Agreed. Yeah, everybody loves a bit of nipples. Well, I mean, that's actually up to the individual
Starting point is 00:42:44 and play does the definition of between the individual. Yes, and let me just say that some nipples are quite numb, but you can wake them up. How? How do you wake up a dead nip? Like a dormant nip? Yes, yes. Deep presence and just continued attention and playing
Starting point is 00:43:00 and bringing it in. And if you have a pleasure centre in your body that's already awake, like in your genitals, you start to incorporate them while that play is happening at the same time. So you're kind of rewiring your brain. And you can actually do this with any erogenous zone in your body. What are the top five erogenous zones on the body?
Starting point is 00:43:19 To reawaken during the dormant seven-year itch. Okay. Good question. Yeah, that is. So the ears and the neckant seven-year itch. Okay. Good question. Yeah, that is. So the ears and the neck. Love a bit of ear. Love a bit of neck. I love a bit of ear on both ends of that ear too.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Okay. Giving a bit of ear, having a bit of ear. Yeah, great. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? We're being honest here. We're having an open and honest prank conversation. I don't think I've ever seen you so honest and open.
Starting point is 00:43:44 I don't know why. I'm just being honest today, guys. It's Morgan. She opens me right up. Whoa. That's a job, man. Good. Lips.
Starting point is 00:43:52 Okay. Okay, so like kissing is great, right? But have you ever taken like a petal or just like so, so slowly rubbed a finger over your lips? I can't say have. The lower belly. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Sort of around there, below the belly button. Correct. Yep. And then it's quite a wide space to work with as well. And then you can kind of go low, but then keep bringing it back up.
Starting point is 00:44:17 It's a very vulnerable area. For you? For me, yes. So that's sort of, you know, like my little, it's my weight gain area. Well, you know, just even primarily, like, you know, if a dog rolls over and shows you the soft belly,
Starting point is 00:44:30 it's a submission show, isn't it? So to open up that area, you're really showing someone some trust. Yeah, that's true, actually. Yeah. Okay, so lip, ears, neck, belly. The back of the thighs. Yeah. Oh, that does something for you.
Starting point is 00:44:49 Big breath from Sproul. I forgot we were on air. Yeah, love the back of the thighs. Yeah. Again, very vulnerable because you don't often, like often you're touching your own shoulders and arms through the day and your face and stuff, but the back of the thigh, often neglected.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Yeah. Absolutely. So, yeah, so you can like, what the thighs tend to like is actually a bit of nail, like, scratching upwards. Yeah, and it can go between soft and hard. Well, you can't do it aggressively. No, but I even just, like, I enjoy an itch on the area. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:45:19 So perhaps there is a, like, the nails down the back, but up from the thigh. Mm-hmm. But is a seven-year itch, is it just about trying different sexy time things? Or it's more than that though, isn't it? It is more than that. I think that sex is important at this place. And I think it's worth like bringing in a sex therapist to support
Starting point is 00:45:37 because, you know, you've obviously been floundering for a while and it's time to like get serious about it if you're going to continue together and you need to make a plan. So actually things like when you think about what bonds people at the start of a relationship is what helps fix it and bring it back together. So doing things together like holidays or building, like having a project together so that you feel like you're creating something together. So if you are listening and you're at that seven-year mark and you're thinking, I'm like this, we've been stagnant for a number of years now,
Starting point is 00:46:10 if you've sort of had that thought, how is the best way to approach your partner and say, this is what I've noticed and I want to try and do something about it? Very, very carefully. Very carefully because this is a very tender place. But the thing is that it's very rare that only one person is actually feeling something like this is a very tender place but the thing is that it's very rare that only one person is actually feeling something like this so it is about and I guess what I would
Starting point is 00:46:32 encourage is that even if your relationship is really good is to start working on communication skills so that if you get to this point you can easily talk about it and you can talk about it openly and without hurting each other. So it really is just, but radical honesty is the best, but you need to know your own needs first, right? Using lots of I statements, don't be blaming the other person for the position that you're in.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Yeah, but just sharing from the heart what you're experiencing and what you would like, what you'd ideally like this to be looking like. Bit more nipple price. Bit more, be looking like. Bit more nipple. Bit more, no, I was going to say more nipples. You don't want to just go in and start yelling at Sade, more on the nipples.
Starting point is 00:47:11 Especially at family Christmas. No. We can't have a 2017 situation again, can we? Time and a place. But Morgan, thanks so much for coming in. Oh, absolutely a pleasure. If people would like to find you, they can do so on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Yes, Morgan the sexologist. That's where I'm sharing all my hot tips. You do share hot tips on there. I'm a keen follower. Thank you. Here's an interesting little tidbit about when you want to give birth. Not that it's always a choice but if you
Starting point is 00:47:42 can make it happen they say get pregnant now. It's January. Yeah. You want a September baby. So you want to be, you're almost too late. You got to get in there. But they say that September babies grow up to be stronger, smarter, and healthier. Now, the reason why is a little complicated. So bear with me. But it's because they end up being the oldest in their class. So they have a lot more. Not in New Zealand. Oh, in America.
Starting point is 00:48:13 This is a UK article. A UK, right. Northern Hemisphere. Because it's generally like. So they start school. I daren't speak out of turn, but I think it's sort of like late April cut off. Right. So that's why. I daren't speak out of turn, but I think it's sort of like late April cutoff. Right.
Starting point is 00:48:27 So that's why. So basically they end up being the oldest in the class, which means they arrive at school already with more like motor skills and, you know. Maybe taller even. Maybe even bigger, stronger. But I was the youngest. I was amongst the youngest in my year. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:48:44 Look at me now. You're a little weedy dum-dum. I was amongst the youngest in my year. Well, exactly. Look at me now. You're a little weedy dum-dum. I'm a little weedy dum-dum. Am I such a little weedy dum-dum I can't even like recognize that I'm the little weedy dum-dum? Yeah. I'm so dumb I don't recognize my dumbness. Yeah. So I assume I'm quite smart.
Starting point is 00:49:00 Yeah. Yeah, yeah. The dumbest people always do. Which is a sign of your... Little weaky weedy dum-dum. Your lack of intelligence. So is that all it comes down to, the September babies? That's all it comes down to. But I think that's what it actually comes down to.
Starting point is 00:49:13 Right. But because there's this idea that September children are stronger and smarter for sort of more mythical reasons, I guess, there's like a flurry of women who are like holding off. There's this one woman that was interviewed here called Katie who actually put a sex ban in her household from the end of the year on until the top of Jan where she was like, let's do it now. Sex ban.
Starting point is 00:49:37 Are they the people that make the garages? Yes, they are. Who can't sex ban? Gotcha. But yeah, she put a sex ban on with her husband and said, we're not going to do it because I don't want no dum-dum November, you know? Yeah. So what would the New Zealand equivalent be?
Starting point is 00:49:55 April, May? May. April, May babies. April, May babies. No. Yeah. Yeah. Because then when would you be starting school?
Starting point is 00:50:06 Well, like August is June. That's confusing because that's two months. My daughter, August, was born in June, and she's amongst the oldest in her year. See, that's the same as me. Yeah. Strong and smart. Strong and smart.
Starting point is 00:50:18 June, baby. Week in dumb. Week in dumb-dumb. I'm October. Oh, you're just absolutely run of the mill. Run of the mill. You're just middle average. Unremarkable.
Starting point is 00:50:27 Nothing special at all. Seize good degrees, baby. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Hey, if you're 20 and listening, check this out. This is what happens when you hit your 30s and 40s. This is good stuff. You're going to love this.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Stay tuned. You're probably like, I don't know what, like, regretting taking too many pingas at a festival, at a party, or drinking too many sugary bloody pals or something over the weekend. Well, strap yourselves in because you're about to hear some people in their 30s and very early
Starting point is 00:51:01 40s argue about how to do washing right. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. I love washing so much. I hung out two loads the other day and I kept sort of popping out and popping my head around the corner and just looking at it. Yes. Why?
Starting point is 00:51:17 That looks nice. How good is it when you hang it and there's no breeze and then the next time you look out the window you just see it flap, flap, flap it. And do you know what was good about it? Two loads emptied the basket. Oh, yeah. To the bottom. Not a sock was missed. I enjoy the hanging on the line and the bringing in from the line.
Starting point is 00:51:34 Hate folding and putting away. That's Sade's territory. I'll hang them there. I'll wash it, and I do a separate load for everything. I'll do a socks and undies on a low water. I'll do multiple loads. Sade loads up the washing machine. She can't do that for everything. I'll do a socks and undies on a low water. I'll do multiple loads. Sade loads up the washing machine. She can't do that for shit. Fletch, before we get into your problem,
Starting point is 00:51:50 powder or liquid? I know you're a liquid. I'm a powder. I'm a powder. Have you tried liquid? No. Please do. Does it clean at the same? Yeah, way better. Do you ever find yourself, you pick at your washing, do you ever find yourself looking at the weather forecast
Starting point is 00:52:05 and you better bring the sheets in? At the moment, no. It's bone dry. The lawn is brown, the clothes will dry. Do you give your favourite clothes a little bit of fabric softener? Yes, I do. Honestly. Me too.
Starting point is 00:52:18 I smell like the fields of Tuscany. This is sexy stuff. So this is what happened, my issue at the weekend, I mentioned to you this morning, you were aghast. I was aghast. Hayley. You just washed it? My friend Lovely James.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Lovely James. Was at my place, and I was. I was sad. He's too good to be your friend. He's a beautiful man. He's a beautiful man. He's got a kind soul. Everybody loves him.
Starting point is 00:52:41 You are yin and yang. And I'm going to sound very ungrateful here, but he put out a load of washing so that we had enough time to go to the beach. I was making my way back. He's like, I'll put your washing out. I was like, oh, my God, you don't have to do that, but thank you. So nice. That's so nice.
Starting point is 00:52:57 Get back to my apartment, and the next day I'm taking everything off the clothes horse, and I'm like, oh goodness. He's hung my underwear by the by pinching the scrotal area of the undies. The pouch. The gusset. He's hung all of my undies by the bulge
Starting point is 00:53:18 area with one peg. And now there's a peg mark on my bulge area. Is this how he functions? Or is it just because he was on limited space because you were using those air drives? I'm using a clothes horse. No, this is how he hangs. Side note, brilliant invention.
Starting point is 00:53:33 Oh, so good. Oh, my God. Sidebar. If I might approach the bench, Your Honour, the clothes horse is an amazing invention. Bravo. Bravo. Being an apartment lover, I can fit so much on a clothes horse. And they fold away. Yeah, I know. Under thevo. A bravo. Being an apartment lover I can fit so
Starting point is 00:53:45 much on a clothesline. And they fold away. Yeah. Under the bed. Slip. Goodbye. Yeah. But this is how he
Starting point is 00:53:51 hangs his undies. By the gooch. By the gooch. Not really the gooch the front. The pouch. The pouch. Let's say the man
Starting point is 00:53:59 pouch. Right. Like if you were to be wearing the undies and he was to pop a peg straight on there it would be the head of the end of the
Starting point is 00:54:04 bed. It would be the tip. It's a foul. Do you have right in the money-making area a little pinch? Can you feel it? No, but it's in there. Yeah. And I'm like, I don't know if that's going to wash out.
Starting point is 00:54:18 I think he's permanently damaged. Undies are permanently pinched. Everybody knows you hang undies by the... No harm, no foul. Waistband. The waistband. What he's done is he's done you a favour. I don't think he's done anything wrong. No one's going to see it.
Starting point is 00:54:27 I just asked if you could feel it. You said you can't feel it. You might see it every now and then. No, it's silly though. But what if you go to have a little romantic time and you're in that stage and the pants come down and they're like, what the hell is that? It's a peg mark.
Starting point is 00:54:38 It's my little pouch pinch. That could be an absolute deal breaker. That might be a real washing aficionado. Because it's not the way it looks. He'll be going, oh my God, this monster hangs his undies by the pouch.
Starting point is 00:54:48 By the pouch. How do you hang your undies? By the waistband. One peg on the waistband. No, if you're going waistband, you've got to go two pegs. No, too much washing line. One on each.
Starting point is 00:54:57 Remember, so then turn them 90 degrees. This is how I hang my undies. No. By the side. So you're going leg and waistband. Leg and waistband over the top of the line and one peg in the middle. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:55:08 If you hang one peg in the middle of the waistband, it's going to hang down. You get a line. You get a line. You go waistband, waistband, pinch, pinch. You hang your bottoms from the top and your tops from the bottom. Yeah, I agree. No, if you're going to hang pants, you hang pants from the ankles. What?
Starting point is 00:55:24 I always peg the ankles. Yeah, because the pockets are too busy. The pockets are too, you hang pants from the ankles. What? I always pick the ankles. Yeah, because the pockets are too busy. The pockets are too, you can't pinch the pockets. On a jean, it's too much bunched up denim. You'll never get through five layers of denim. It's not going to dry. No, you're right. And if you hang too much over, it's the thickest part of everything.
Starting point is 00:55:34 Well, you hang it by the ankles. And it takes up less space as well. The absolute monsters, people like my friend James who hang undies by the pouch, people that hang t-shirts halfway over the line so they have a line through their T-shirt? Right through the waistband. Oh, no. Or worse, hang it from the shoulder and then you go to work with like a little shoulder pinch.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Yeah. Like a small shoulder pad. Monsters. How do you hang your T-shirts? By the hem. By the hem, by the bottom. What about the people who have the clothes? What are these things called?
Starting point is 00:56:04 You hang your clothes on them and put them in your wardrobe. Wardrobe? Clothes hangers. Oh, I know this. Some people put their t-shirts on those and then hang them on there. And then they take up less space on the clothing. Yeah, that's all right. But they blow off if it's a windy day.
Starting point is 00:56:19 Do you know with a coat hanger, here's another little tip if we're getting really into the specifics of it. You hang your coat hangers like a question mark. So when it faces you, it should be the right way around and a question mark, not the other way. The hook should be question mark way. No, my mum told me you hang your clothes so that the gaps far away from you,
Starting point is 00:56:38 so that if your house is on fire, you grab all your clothes and you pick them up and take them. Yeah, that's it. I said I'd let them burn. You go, yeah, I'd let them burn. Oh, priorities. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I said I'd let them burn. You go. Yeah, I'd let them burn. Oh, priorities. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not going back in.
Starting point is 00:56:48 Get out of that house. I'm not going back into some jeans. Even though we disagree on how to properly hang men's underwear, I think we all agree that it's not by the pouch. Not by the pouch. It's not a single person. Don't pinch the pouch. It does the pouch.
Starting point is 00:57:01 I'm so sorry all of your underwear is destroyed. Better go shopping today. You'd write them off, would you? Oh, I would. You'd throw them out. They're ruined for life. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. ZM's Add to Cart.
Starting point is 00:57:17 But it's back. Add to Cart. So here's how it works if you don't know. We're going to add an item to the virtual shopping cart right now. There'll be items added at 11, 2 and 4. So you've got to be listening every day at 8 o'clock, 11, 2 and 4 for all of the cart items.
Starting point is 00:57:34 And then at 5 o'clock this afternoon, Brie and Clint are going to give you a chance to call through and if you can name all the items in the cart, you win them. You get them. If you get through. And we're not talking about, you know, a singlet top and a bag of raisins. The carts. There might be
Starting point is 00:57:50 a bag of raisins. The carts are mwah. Alright, Bourne. You have our very first item there. Oh, yeah. It's a Bissell spot cleaner. Oh, is that like you Abyssal Spot Cleaner.
Starting point is 00:58:06 Oh, is that like you can spot clean your carpet? Yeah. And your upholstery, some chairs? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I want that. Have you got a little bit hummin' a hummin' over these at the end of last year? If you've got a little mark, rather than getting it out and having to dab, dab, dab, dab, dab, dab, don't rub, dab, dab, dab, dab, dab.
Starting point is 00:58:22 Dab, dab, dab. What is it? Red wine spill? White wine solution. This one would take care of it. Producer Ross Boss got a little bit. Yeah, Ross Boss got one of these. I'll say horny.
Starting point is 00:58:34 He got horny about it. He did. Yeah, he does a lot of sort of horny content with his upholstery sucker. Yeah. It's, um, you don't really want to know how manky your couch is, though, do you, when you use one of those? Confronting. Can be confronting. It's very confronting. There's a lot of brow in your couch and you don't really want to know how manky your couch is, though, do you, when you use one of those? Confronting. Can be confronting.
Starting point is 00:58:46 It's very confronting. There's a lot of brow in your couch and you don't know it. Yes, no, carry on. So Bissell Sponk Cleaner. Add that to the cart. The next one coming up with Georgia at 11. So make sure you're listening out for that. Up next, though, one in 12 people have what I'm going to call an unforgivable eating technique.
Starting point is 00:59:14 It was a survey conducted, surveyed 2,000 Americans, and we all know Americans love their pizza. There's no R in pizza. No, I think they're pizza. Love their pizzas. Well, they surveyed 2,000 Americans about pizza. 94% of those surveyed had had a pizza within the past month of taking the survey. 72% of them love pizza so much they could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Starting point is 00:59:41 Nearly half think it's perfect for next day leftovers. We've had this discussion before. Pop it in the air fryer, a bit of mayonnaise on top. But the disturbing statistic that I want to talk about, one in 12 surveyed eat their pizza with a knife and fork. What is that as a percentage? It's quite low, right? What is it?
Starting point is 00:59:57 One in what? One in 12. Half and six? Ten. Both divisible by... 8.3. One in 12. I was going to go on the other side of 10%, by the way. I'll be honest, I was going to say 12%.
Starting point is 01:00:18 8.3333% of people. That's too many percent of people. That's probably just why they said that. If you think about having... Imagine having a dinner with six couples. That's too many percent of people. That's probably just why they see you. If you think about having, imagine having a dinner with six couples. Yeah. That's too many people at my house, but one of them's going to pick up a knife and fork to eat their pizza.
Starting point is 01:00:34 We experienced this. Yeah. Just before we did the Whangarui River Kayak Adventure. Who was it? A very good friend of mine, Amanda. A very good friend of mine, Johnny, his fiance, Amanda Boots. I'll fully name her. I'll give you her address if you want. Yeah, yeah. I'll Amanda. A very good friend of mine, Johnny, his fiancee, Amanda Boots. I'll fully name her.
Starting point is 01:00:45 I'll give you her address if you want. Yeah, yeah. I'll too. I'm sure it was her, right, that picked up a knife and fork to eat her pizza the night before. And, well, there was a table slaying. Everyone, I love, I absolutely, nothing brings me more joy. I don't like being on the receiving end. But when an entire table turns on someone for the way they ate something.
Starting point is 01:01:04 Yeah, absolutely. And then she got off the hook because producer Jared ordered a whole pizza but could only eat two pizzas because he eats very small amounts. Jared? He's like a hummingbird. He eats more regularly. Do you ever order the kids menu? No.
Starting point is 01:01:20 You totally should. You totally should. The little cute kids fish and chips. Yeah, fish fingers and chippies. Actually, I think I remember. Oh, no, hot dog, please. I've only ever been to a cafe with you once, and I think we all finished the rest of your meal.
Starting point is 01:01:34 Yeah. Yeah, it's a thing. You left half the bloody rosti on there. But yeah, eating pizza with a knife and fork. It's a no-no. If it's too hot, which is the only excuse, just wait. Tie a hole in it, and it will cool down and pick it up with your hands. Because it's like when you're at
Starting point is 01:01:47 a dinner with someone and maybe you're at a place and maybe it's a little fancy but there's burgers and then people go at it with a knife and fork. No. You don't do that, right? Or you get like an open sandwich, like a steak sandwich and people start
Starting point is 01:02:03 deconstructing it. It's already slightly deconstructed. It's an open sandwich for God's sake. Put the lid on it and get it eaten. Pick it up. So that did get me thinking. What are your other weird food techniques? Food eating techniques.
Starting point is 01:02:20 Eating techniques. Like, do you get something like a sandwich and eat it section by section? Ew. Ingredient by ingredient. What about how Fletch doesn't eat his crusts? That's kind of normal. Yeah, there's no law that says I have to.
Starting point is 01:02:34 That's wasteful. Well, there's no law saying you can't eat a pizza with a knife and fork, but we all know there actually is. Yeah, but I'm not like one of those people that, I don't know, cuts it into weird little squares and eats it or something. I don't know if I've got a weird one. More of a hack is when I eat dumplings, I nibble just the edge off, so then when I dip it into the soy, the soy gets in the meat rather than just on the wrapper. Oh, right, so you're kind of opening up the soy floodgates.
Starting point is 01:03:01 Yeah, and filling it up. Oh, that's too much soy, though. The soy would overpower the dumpling. No, no, no, but I'm going to soak it. It's just so you can let it seep in somewhat. soy floodgates. Yeah, and filling it up. Oh, that's too much soy though. The soy would overpower the dumpling. It's just so you can let it seep in somewhat. Do you just give it a light squeeze in the soy,
Starting point is 01:03:08 release squeeze. Release squeeze in the gob. It's like people that eat crunchies. You go side, side, side, side, side. Yep. Side, side, side, side, side.
Starting point is 01:03:15 Side, side, side, side, side. Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Yeah. Honeycomb, honeycomb, honeycomb. Yeah. It's the only way. It's the only way, yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:24 If you're going to go to all that effort to expose the honeycomb, you don't simply bite the honeycomb. No, you suck it. You dissolve it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You put it in your mouth and you go. Yeah. Until the honeycomb just turns into liquid sugar
Starting point is 01:03:36 and then your dentist is literally lying in bed and their teeth start to ache. Yeah, yeah. They feel the pain. Yeah. So if you've got a weird way of eating your food, we want to know about it. We're talking about weird
Starting point is 01:03:49 food eating techniques. And this comes on the back of a survey that revealed that out of 2,000 people, 1 in 12 ate their pizza with a knife and fork, which we all agree. Monsters. Is monstrous. Yeah. So we asked you, what are your weird eating techniques? So many messages and calls, and we all agree. Monsters. Is monstrous. So we asked you, what are your weird
Starting point is 01:04:05 eating techniques? So many messages and calls, and we'll start with Kate. Is this your husband, Kate? Yes. Okay, so what does he do? Well, he, for starters, would be one to eat the pizza with the knife and fork. But also, fish and
Starting point is 01:04:22 chips, like kiwi staple, you need to kind of sit around the paper and everyone just eats off it. He puts his on a plate with a knife and fork, and with every meal he has a fabric napkin. He sounds a bit precious. Oh, he's just, he thinks that I'm a savage. He sounds like a lord of the land from 1800s England. Yes.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Oh, that's good manners, that's what he tells me. Right, but what about if you, so that's if you're eating fish and chips at home, or if you were at the beach, what would he do? Would he bring a plate? Well, we've never actually done that. Because he wouldn't dream of it. No. We're eating something to be done at I was going to dream of it. No. We're using something to be done at a dining room table, of course.
Starting point is 01:05:09 Wow. Amazing. Kate, thanks for your call. Suzanne, the weird eating techniques. Yeah, hi, guys. So this is my kids. Yeah. When we go to get sushi, they really confidently grab their container,
Starting point is 01:05:24 fill it up with all the sushi they want, take it up to the counter, and they'll be asked if they want chopsticks. And I'll be like, no, I don't need chopsticks. And they are, yep, yep, we definitely want chopsticks. And the staff will look really impressed that these kids are going to use chopsticks. Yep. We take it outside and they open their sushi and carefully use the chopsticks to push through any vegetables, avocados, that kind of thing.
Starting point is 01:05:46 So it's just the meat left. So it's just the chicken left, yeah. What are they getting, just the chicken? Now, as a parent, that would drive me nuts if my kids were getting the mixed one because often there's just ones with just chicken in them. This is only when there's not. If there's just chicken, you get that, yeah. That's quite a good little technique, though.
Starting point is 01:06:05 Yeah. Pop it through. Push it through. Suzanne, thank you. Samara, your weird eating techniques. Yeah, since I can remember, I will make poached eggs on toast and cut around the outside of the yolk
Starting point is 01:06:19 so the mouth feels the best having the yolk as a whole. Wait, explain that again. Wait, how does that work? Wait, so you isolate the yolk. Do you poach till, because you wouldn't be able to do that on a poached egg that I ate, too runny. Yeah, so I'll cut around the outside of the yolk
Starting point is 01:06:36 and eat the white and the toast together and then make sure that the last mouthful is putting the whole yolk in my mouth at once. Runny yolk or hard yolk? No, it has to be runny. But you're just leaving a little bit of the white around to encase it. Yeah, just have to leave the best bit till last. But just having the white.
Starting point is 01:06:57 Yeah, but it's worth it for the end. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm just going to interrupt this. Did you just say that the white is the best? It is yum, but obviously the yolk is good just so... No, the white's just to make up volume. The yolk's the star of the show. No, don't nod.
Starting point is 01:07:11 No, no, no, the yolk's the star of the show, but he can be a little bit full on by himself, but you've got to mix it with the white for volume. He's too full on by himself, the yolk. But that's also a game of skill, Samara, too, isn't it? You're playing a game of, like, skill. Operation. You've got to really cut around it.
Starting point is 01:07:28 Yeah, I'd love to say it was a skill. Right. Oh, it is. We'll tell you it's a skill. You've got a LinkedIn account? Put it on that. I'll endorse you. Yeah, no, Samara, thanks.
Starting point is 01:07:38 You call some messages in. I have this one. I cannot eat cake without dipping it in a glass of milk. Everyone hates me for it, but I just hate chewing. Two options here. Every cake you've ever had has been far too dry. Or how are you getting it out of
Starting point is 01:07:56 the... The cake I eat wouldn't survive a dip in milk. You'd have to have a big spoon, right? A ladle of sauce. A soup spoon. In there, on there. In milk. You get a moister cake. Yeah. You need to spritz it. You know when you spritz the sponge of a cake? Yeah. Add moisture back into it.
Starting point is 01:08:12 Could you do that with alcohol and alcohol? Absolutely. Brandy. Dark alcohols. Anything actually. I just pour a bottle of vodka on anything I eat. Sometimes I'll save myself the additional calories of the cake and just pour the vodka straight into my mouth.
Starting point is 01:08:26 Yeah, same. Yep. I have a vodka cake, sans cake. Follow us for more health tips. I take the skin off a watermelon and then stick a fork in each end and eat it like corn on a cob. A whole watermelon? How big is this watermelon?
Starting point is 01:08:42 What? Hang on, say that again. So they peel the entire watermelon by the sounds of it. You'd have to just like slice it with a knife, right? You'd have to knife slice it. And then you're left with a giant pink ball. And then they stick a fork in each end and Like corn on the cob.
Starting point is 01:09:04 Yeah. There is too much watermelon. Watermelons are huge. Somebody said I would like to put my hand up and ask if anybody else eats the border of a Girl Guide biscuit. So you eat around the edge of the Girl Guide biscuit, taking off the raised edge. Then you use your teeth to scrape off the logo and see how flat and smooth you can get it. And then you eat the rest of the biscuit. What are you trying not to die in squid games?
Starting point is 01:09:27 That's ridiculous. I've done similar things. There's nothing like a good teeth scrape on a Bickey. Your Oreos, your chocolate covered Bickeys. Yeah, take it off. We were just talking about the crunchy eating techniques. Yeah, take all the chocolate off. It's a little bit precision, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:09:42 Because you can't really see it very well because it's too close under. Eating hack, air New Zealand cheese and crackers during the Koru RIP. But if you've got
Starting point is 01:09:51 a crumbled cracker, use the cheese as the base. So then if the cracker crumbles, it still stays on top of the cheese. The cheese won't
Starting point is 01:10:00 crumble. You've got a good thick bit of cheese there. That is so smart. It'll work for your hearted cheeses, your cheddars and the
Starting point is 01:10:04 like. But you still get the crunch. Yeah. I eat a Big Mac layer by layer and hope that no one is watching. What, so you'll eat the top bun? Yeah. And then whatever's on next. And then some cheese and a patty.
Starting point is 01:10:19 That's madness. And then the next bun. And then the last thing you eat is a bun. I mean, there might be a bit of like mayo on it or meat juice, but no. Save the meat juice soaked bun. Someone said for clarification, re-cake and milk. They put the cake in a bowl and then they pour the milk into the bowl until it's level with the top of the cake and then eat a cake like one giant piece of cereal.
Starting point is 01:10:48 Get a bit of ice cream. Get a bit of yogurt. Or whipped cream. You need a whole bowl of milk. You're not a cat in the 90s. I know you've clarified that, but you're still a monster. These are terrible. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:02 I toast my crumpets until they are really charred, like set off the smoke machine, smoke alarm bad. Then use butter and peanut butter, and I'll eat the top off the crumpets first, the whole bit, the soft, until there's just a flat, very crispy base. So they're doing the same thing. They're eating downwards
Starting point is 01:11:19 until they just leave with the base of the crumpet, which you'll remember they've cooked to a cinder. It's so good because the butter and peanut butter have been soaking in. My parents hate me for doing this, but I'll never stop. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day is about carrots. Okay. Yum, yum, yum.
Starting point is 01:11:54 Carrots. This is today's fact of the day. It's a simple, sweet little one today. They used to be purple. No. Oh. I do like the purple ones, though. Carrots are native to Afghanistan. That's where carrots are from. I do like the purple ones though. Carrots are native to Afghanistan.
Starting point is 01:12:06 That's where carrots are from. I know. Really? A route that has changed. As you say, it was purple most popularly. And then the Dutch developed the orange carrot. I wonder what came first. The Netherlands love for their sports team
Starting point is 01:12:25 to be orange. Maybe it's orange because of the carrot. Perhaps. Because they invented the orange carrot and it became so popular. Or they invented the orange carrot because orange was already a colour so synonymous with the area.
Starting point is 01:12:41 Orange is the colour of the Dutch royal family, which hails from the House of Orange. Okay. But how do you make a vegetable a colour? You just selectively breed it, don't you? What do you mean, though? That doesn't answer the question.
Starting point is 01:12:55 How? How do you go, I want this cauliflower to be... Purple. Yellow. Because they do a purple cauliflower. And they do a yellow one. Okay. So how do you do it?
Starting point is 01:13:09 Well, do you mix it? You mix it with something else that's similar? Food colouring. Put a bit of food colouring on it. Yeah. And then, yeah. A bit of banana essence. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:18 It just blows my mind, the science of it. And now we just grow carrots and they're orange. They're always orange. We can grow those like... And what do they call them now? Heritage. Heritage. If something's not the normal, like a heritage tomato. No, heir're orange. They're always orange. We can grow those like, and what do they call them now? Heritage. Something's not the normal, like a heritage tomato. No, heirloom.
Starting point is 01:13:29 Heirloom. Is what you're thinking of. Heirloom tomatoes. Heirloom tomato. They're green, they're yellow, they're orange, they're red. They're big, they're funny, they're ugly. You wouldn't buy them in the supermarket. That's what they really should be called, ugly.
Starting point is 01:13:39 Big, funny and lumpy. Big, funny, lumpy. I'm an heirloom. It's a radio presenter. What did Afghan carrots look like then? Well, they changed. They were kind of like the culture that developed them because you know how you see like,
Starting point is 01:13:54 what did the food you, have you ever seen those articles? The food you eat today hasn't always looked like that. And it was like how it was a little nutritious root, but they're like, well, it'd be better if it was bigger. So again, selective breeding. They make it bigger. Put it on the roids. And then they get it out there. So that's the...
Starting point is 01:14:07 Did the Dutch... The Dutch took the carrot and then in return gave... Because where are poppies native to? Because they both grow in those countries as well. The Netherlands and Afghanistan, massive poppy producers. Oh, I just googled. I went too fast.
Starting point is 01:14:23 Where are poopies from? Your butty. Native to your bot bot. Native to your butt. Turkey, Iran. Okay, so Middle East sort of. Middle Eastern. Yeah, so they might have been in Afghanistan again before they were.
Starting point is 01:14:37 Yeah. The Dutch are just. But you're next thing you're going to be telling me windmills and wooden shoes are from Afghanistan. And extremely strong weed brownies that you only take one bite of, but it absolutely lays you out for two days. You don't get to enjoy everything as much as you could because you're freaking out that you'll never get home and your eyes are bleeding. Then you nearly miss your Kentucky bus.
Starting point is 01:14:55 Yeah. All these things. So classically Dutch slash Afghanistan. So today's fact of the day is carrots are native to Afghanistan. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Silly Little Polls Well, today's Silly Little Poll. People are riled up online. I'm feeling very passionate about this one.
Starting point is 01:15:42 I know. Do you prefer to split the bill or pay for what you ate? So obviously this is in the context of going out for dinner with your friends or a group of friends or a little couples date. The results are, I thought it would be more evenly split.
Starting point is 01:15:58 But it wasn't. It wasn't. Split the bill, 39%. Pay for what you ate, 61%. But it's going to be very rare that if you have, especially a group of friends, a big group, that everyone's going to be earning the same amount of money or in the same financial position.
Starting point is 01:16:16 Yeah, I just saw a message that says, if we're with close friends, split the bill with a bigger group, pay for what you ate. And I'm sort of like, oh yeah, I'm on board with that. Matt sent that in. So if you know Matt and you, split the bill with a bigger group, pay for what you ate. And I'm sort of like, oh, yeah, I'm on board with that. Matt sent that in. So if you know Matt and you go out for dinner with Matt and he says, we'll just pay for what we ate, he considers you an acquaintance and not a close friend.
Starting point is 01:16:36 Yeah. That's one way to find out if, oh, Matty likes you or not. Some people, some places only do like one bill per table. And then, and I've quite often done this with friends as well. Someone will just put it on their card. And then send it to the group chat. The group chat. Here's the receipt, the docket.
Starting point is 01:16:54 And then you transfer me your bank. Yeah. I think that's good. Because part of the reason that I'm a splitter, not a pay for what you ate, is just the admin. There's a lot of admin at the till. And there's always a rogue set of fries, you know, that the last bugger has stuck with. Do you want to be paying for those fries if you didn't eat them?
Starting point is 01:17:16 I know. And then there's like, well, you and me shared a bot. Yeah. So do you have to now, you know, does the other person have to chime in for the bot? I don't know. It's all circumstantial, I think. And especially it's like about being aware if you earn more money than your friends, maybe. Well, Tash said, I'm vegetarian, so my meals generally cost less.
Starting point is 01:17:36 I don't want to pay for part of your $40 steak. That's not fair. But to be fair, we did sit through you probably giving us a sermon about vegetarianism. You should pay our time. Yeah. And like what, are we going to split the protein bar you have to buy afterwards because you didn't get enough protein with your meal? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:57 Are we going to just split what you ate on the way home because you're so hungry? You're so hungry because those beans didn't really touch the side? Taylor says, people who want to split the bill are always the people who ordered the most. Are guilty! Yes, they are.
Starting point is 01:18:11 I love splitting the bill, but I also love eating. But I don't go out to not finish the meal like full. Yeah. That's on you. If you see me ordering
Starting point is 01:18:21 my second main or third dessert, Yeah. State. What about... I don't want to split the bill, Fatty Fatty Boom Boom. Yeah. What about the circumstance of when you go out and you get a bunch of small plates?
Starting point is 01:18:33 That's hard because then if you're a person who doesn't eat as much and you're watching everyone order, oh, add this, add this, add this, add this, and you split it and you're like, all I need is a chicken skewer and a side of beans. You know, like, how do you split that one? There's no way. The Tupperth style.
Starting point is 01:18:51 Sarah messaged in saying, I like to split the bill because I order like Vaughan and Sade. How about that? Our reputation precedes us. But again, we don't go out to pick. We go out to eat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to try a bit of everything. I want a whole lot on the table. We don't go out to pick. We go out to eat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's an event.
Starting point is 01:19:05 I want to try a bit of everything. I want a whole lot on the table. I want the wait staff to literally be like, how many people are joining you? I'm like, it's just the two of us. They're like, I think you've got enough. The hell I do. Didn't they have it in Queensland?
Starting point is 01:19:18 They were like, are you sure you want this much food? We're like, yes, we do. I think you're overdoing it. And then we said, I think you do your job. Somebody said, Hannah said, sometimes we do a, oh, we'll pay this time,
Starting point is 01:19:34 you pay next time situation. Yeah, we do a bit of that. Oh, no, but then next time you're going to order more. But when it's your turn. It's like when you know someone else is picking up the bar tab,
Starting point is 01:19:42 so you go for a couple of cocktails versus just going for the house wine if you're paying. That's why if you're ever going to shout someone dinner, you don't tell them until the end. Oh, yeah. Because then they order the expensive. And then you pop to the bathroom. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:54 You pop to the bathroom, pick up the tab. Yeah. You're the hero of the night. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But you didn't give them the license to go absolute cray-cray and tell them early on. Exactly. That's a good idea.
Starting point is 01:20:05 That's a hero's journey. It really is. You've good idea. That's a hero's journey. It really is. That's a hero's journey. So there you go. Well, there you go. If you're heading out for meals with friends, the vast majority of people just want to pay for what they eat. Fair enough. One quarter of people wouldn't sleep with someone if they supported the opposite sports team
Starting point is 01:20:30 to their favourite sports team. Like, for example, Hayley's a big Crusaders fan. You can't get enough. I'm from Wellington, thank you very much. Oh, okay. I'm a Hurricane. You're a Hurricane supporter. Why did I have a Bush supporter?
Starting point is 01:20:43 I am. Yes. It was always-upper bush supporter. I am. Yes. It was always my favourite team growing up. That's what they call the supporters, full bush. We're full bush in the white-ed-upper. We're full bush. Because it was my favourite because in my mind, every time this rugby team played, they emerged from the bush.
Starting point is 01:21:03 Like, ooh! Ooh! And then you just hear, coming! From an opposite valley. And then these guys would come out of the hot of Fenua bush. Yeah, full bush. And they always played third grade rugby against Thames Valley, which was our home team.
Starting point is 01:21:18 So a quarter of people wouldn't sleep with someone if they supported the opposite team. This was a survey done through a sports website. So these are your fanatical people that said if you met someone and they were like perfect, but they supported the biggest competition to your team, does it really matter? I don't know if I could sleep with a man if he was a... Holden? Pioneers of Canterbury seniors marching team supporter.
Starting point is 01:21:46 Oh really? That would be difficult for me. They your biggest opposition? No, they're not around anymore but I'm just trying to think of who your biggest who the biggest comp is. I guess Ford and Holden maybe? Like what you just said, maybe there's something
Starting point is 01:22:01 there. The cars, because that's something. Yeah, but if someone's hot and you're into them, who cares? Yeah. Sade and I made it work. I'm a huge Warriors fan. She, of course, is an absolutely diehard Cronulla Sharks fan. She's got the tattoo of the shark and everything. Yeah, she does.
Starting point is 01:22:19 Her full back piece. Yeah, she does. And, you know, like just above her privates, there's the, that said, parking reserved for E.T. Andrew Ettenhausen. Andrew Ettenhausen. Who?
Starting point is 01:22:32 Legendary player! Who gets that into it though, really? Parking reserved. I don't know. I am so, I would like to formally apologise publicly for it,
Starting point is 01:22:43 insinuating my wife has any sort of tattoo. Yeah, no. Even in the vicinity of her privates. No tattoos. If someone was like really the opposite of your political beliefs, that could be a deal breaker, eh? But not sports.
Starting point is 01:22:55 Well, that's sort of more core values based. Whereas sports is, is this controversial to say it's not? But your politics align with your values and where you put value in the world. So, yes, if you had completely conflicting political views, I can see how that would be more difficult. Sports teams, you're like, this team's better, this team's better. It's like, who wins on the day? Yeah, who cares?
Starting point is 01:23:19 Yeah. But no, they're saying that. They wouldn't sleep with someone if they supported their greatest sporting rivals. That's powerful support, isn't it? If it trumps the genies. Well, especially if your team's like constantly losing, like the Warriors or something. You could really dig in your heels with that one.
Starting point is 01:23:38 If you only sleep with their supporters, you're only sleeping with losers. Oh, boy. I was just saying, metaphorically. This year's our year. This year's our year. Isn't that what people say every year? I heard through the grapevine it's next year.
Starting point is 01:23:52 Next year. Next year's next year. So someone told me that 2023, it's the year of the Warriors. But I heard it was this year. No, no, it's next year. Well, it's 2023. Maybe it's a whole year of no action. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:03 It can't be both years. Unless you find another Warriors fan. Where would you start? Don't know.
