Vaughn would like to talk about his
I've drawn a robot
This is awesome for an audio base
I can describe the robot
Experience
It's um Well the head looks like a router Some kind of like wireless device This is awesome for an audio based experience. I can describe the robot.
The head looks like a router, some kind of wireless device.
That's cool.
I'm happy with that.
It's strange you've gone for a side profile.
Because he can't draw.
No one can draw faces.
No.
Well, it doesn't have a face.
He's just got an ocular receiver in the middle.
I wouldn't call it an eye because it's not an eye.
It's his ocular receiver.
He doesn't have ears ears He's got an antenna
Yeah
And this is
He's got a little speaker box
On either side of his head here
So this is basically
A Yui boom on wheels
That's exactly what it is
No
It's a tiny speaker
Yeah
And then he's got a
Pinchy arm
And he's on tracks
He's on like a
A digger tracks
Like a
Triangular digger tracks
Like a
Like a
Like a bomb disposal robot.
No, what are those things?
Those are his tracks.
Tanks, like a tank.
Yeah, like a tank.
Except triangular.
Tanks only have two points of contact on their tracks.
Yes.
This has got three, one higher.
I think it'll make him slightly more mobile for all the adventures he's going to go on.
What's his name?
Well, so I was just out there and I was like, what do you think of this robot?
And Georgia, who does the day show,
just absolutely decided to neg me hard.
She said, it's a dumb, boring robot.
You should call him Blandy because he's so bland.
But I like that.
Blandy.
Blandy bot.
He's bloody bland, I tell you what.
The Blandy bot's 6,000.
What color is he going to be?
I have not decided.
We need to spice it up a bit because he's so bland.
He might have a WALL-E vibe. He spice it up a bit because he's so bland. I mean,
he might have like,
he might have a WALL-E vibe.
He might be like
a little bit rusty.
Oh, right.
He might be like
a little bit weathered.
He's seen some things
through his ocular receiver.
Right.
And his Yui Boom head.
Yeah,
and his,
and he says some things
out of his mouth speaker.
His speaker box.
Oh.
That was fun though.
That was a little
creative exercise.
Yeah. And you know, I didn't know what I was drawing when i started you're not getting into any art college i just did i did these curves i was just fiddling it was coming to you and then just yeah
it came it's like that could be the front of a robot and now i've got a whole robot blandy
your talent goes nine pounds. Oh no. Absolutely not. Blandy.
That's
Ross Boss's. Ross Boss
literally groaning in the background.
That entire intro.
Yay!
He has to pay me.
Play ZM's Fletchford
and Hayley.
Thanks Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show.
Fleach, Vaughan and Hayley, three minutes past six.
It's been a wild 24 hours, hasn't it?
Yeah, well, yesterday we were reporting, and about this time,
the police moving on the protesters,
and now it's just a big wasteland in front of Parliament.
Yeah.
With mattresses and tents and smouldering playgrounds.
And saying that, I do have a few tents for sale,
if anybody's interested.
The odd one's got a missing peg and just a little singe mark.
A couple of burns.
You wouldn't even notice it.
And a faint waft of old milk.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A lot of milk in Parliament yesterday.
Peppery, peppery, milkery.
I was just trying to find the, somebody set up a
GoFundMe or a
Givealittle for the
Wellington playground, or for the playground
that's on Parliament. Apparently that
cost $240,000. I know,
I saw that. That fancy playground.
And they burnt it down.
They did. The place.
Jesus Christ. Like did. The police. Jesus Christ.
Like, it's sad.
It was watching it unfold.
It was sad.
And then, like, seeing people being like, oh, you know, really feeling it.
Like, ex-police officers been, like, really feeling it for the boys and girls in blue.
Yeah.
And people being like, well, you shouldn't have started the fire and you did this. I was like, how do you begin to convince somebody
who's gone that far down the rabbit hole
that you can just lie to make it suit whatever narrative you want?
And then they started like pulling up the pavers
and that's what they were chucking at the cops.
That's when I was like, how does this end?
How does this go well from here?
Well, I saw a few police photographers and some live streams,
so there'll be some people in trouble.
I did see a friend of mine from Wellington shared bigcleanup.org.nz.
Next week, they're going to do like a big roster for the community
to come in and start the cleanup process before Parliament can re-sow the lawn.
Yeah, it's going to be a big cleanup, so you might want to take some tents and just stay
there, I think.
I don't know if that's...
It's going to take a long time, so you might want to just set up camp.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's cooling down now because it's officially autumn, so you might want to light a fire,
bonfire, keep warm.
Just keep warm.
Sure.
Important to keep warm while picking up the rubbish.
Back to square one.
Top six today on the show?
Yes.
It was my own idea
so I'm confused
as to why I can't remember it.
The top six things
I'd throw at the police.
We got there.
We got there in the end.
The top six things
I would throw at the police
after we were just,
you know,
just discussing
the projectiles
launched at our
police force yesterday.
Yeah.
I'd throw some things too.
But not bad things.
Not cobbles.
No.
Not cobbles.
Curveballs?
Chuck up a curveball.
Chuck up a curly question.
Yeah, the top six.
Coming up.
All right.
Silly little poll on the way as well, but next on the show.
First on the agenda, $15 cauliflowers.
They're not even that nice. Oh, my God. I'm so glad I'm not doing keto anymore. No. What about that? on the way as well, but next on the show, first on the agenda, $15 cauliflowers.
They're not even that nice.
Oh my God.
I'm so glad I'm not doing keto anymore.
No, what about that?
Those popcorn cauliflowers at Hello Beastie.
Did you just say cauliflowers
are not that nice?
Yeah, with what about
the sauce on it?
It is not plain.
It is not plain.
Oh my God.
Plain cauliflower is very plain.
Roasted cauliflower.
Yeah, but roasted cauliflower
is not plain.
It's roasted.
Yeah, but roasted cauliflowers aren't cheaper than a normal $15 cauliflower.
Oh, yeah, but I'm not wasting $15 on a roasted cauliflower.
Get a whole chicken for that.
The debate continues next.
Play.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Well, shock and outrage after News Hub
drew to the nation's attention there is a $15 cauliflower.
To be fair, it's not cauliflower season at the moment.
No, it's your winter brassicas.
It's your winter.
Is it?
Yeah.
Okay, right.
Good time to plant some cauliflower.
Yeah, but still, $15?
It's like complaining about asparagus being expensive in July.
Yeah, good seasonal knowledge there of asparagus being expensive in July. You know?
Good seasonal knowledge there of asparagus.
I'm impressed.
These are my favourite veggies, you know?
Right.
You've got to buy seasonally.
You do.
Or just buy frozen.
Yeah, just buy frozen.
Frozen cauliflower, watery.
Siri.
Inappropriate time. What part of watery cauliflower made her think that it was a cat too? I've switched on Hayley and Siri? An appropriate time.
What part of watery cauliflower
made her think that
I can't do it?
I've switched on Hayley
and Siri this morning.
Yeah.
It is.
Yeah, 15 bucks is ridiculous.
I love that cauliflower
rice stuff.
Yeah, that's good, eh?
Ground up cauliflower.
There's no need to get
a fresh cauliflower for that.
I've been a keto girl
for the last two years
and I'm glad I'm not anymore.
I couldn't afford it
with cauliflower. Cauliflower is the staple, is the core. Is it? The cornerstone. The cornerstone been a keto girl for the last two years, and I'm glad I'm not anymore. I couldn't afford it with cauliflower.
Cauliflower is the staple, is the core.
Is it?
The cornerstone.
The cornerstone of a keto diet,
because it replaces your bread, your rice,
every single carbohydrate replaced by cauliflower.
What is cauliflower?
Fibre.
It's a vegetable.
Yeah, but what's its main dietary?
I guess fibrous.
Fibrous.
Probably got some vitamins in there too.
Do you reckon it's got some vitamins
Some B's
B's
B's
Stays away from the C's
Stays away from the C's
Because you know
It's white
It's got
Barely any fibre to it
Well it's only good
When it's covered in
Big cheese sauce
Yeah or battered
And deep fried
Yeah
Yeah cauliflower
Popcorn chicken
Oh yum
But this
Just adding to the long list of things
that people are finding more expensive in the grocery store.
Oh, I know.
Everything just seems to be going up.
And there's talk as well at the moment,
a lot of cafes are saying coffee has been too cheap for too long.
It has been.
$3.50, right?
Yeah, they've been like absorbing the prices,
but everything, milk, the beans, it's all going up.
So expect coffee to go up as well.
The price of Moet and Chandon, I tell you what,
that's gone up as well.
Every week I'm like, oh my God, my grocery bill.
Through the roof.
I can't keep up with this.
So you put the cabbage and the cauliflower back.
I put that back.
Well, yeah, one cauliflower, that's a bottle of wine.
That's exactly it.
And you're getting your ribo things and your vitamins and that.
Riboflavins.
Riboflavins.
Anytime I see anything that's $15, I always think,
that's a bottle of wine.
That's a bottle of wine.
I'm not doing that.
That's a bottle of wine.
There was a $9 cabbage at the supermarket.
$9 cabbage?
Yeah, cabbage isn't even that good.
Cabbage sucks.
Yeah.
Again, unless you sort of like fry it.
Japanese mayo.
Japanese mayo.
Slaw it.
Add mayonnaise.
Add butter.
Yeah.
But you can get a bag of.
You can get that bag of coastal stuff for three or four bucks.
And then you can pick out the cabbage if that's what you want to.
If you're really, really into it.
If you're a cabbage fan.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
There's a new dating app out on the market there.
Another one.
Just what we need.
This one's slightly different.
Because I feel like all of the dating apps that I hear of are the same thing.
Okay.
They're the same thing.
This is an Australian dating app that's come out.
It's called Hello Tiger.
It's got two notable features
that people are talking about. Sounds like an Asian fusion restaurant
doesn't it? It does.
Have you been to Hello Tiger for their pot
stickers? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then they
also have like katsu curry. You're like, which part
of... You said Asian
fusion, but I feel like this is the entire Asian
continent. I will
get a pad thai and a
butter chicken. And a Mongolian barbecue
dish. Oh, now
I want to go to an Asian fusion restaurant.
Same. I could go to
an Asian fusion restaurant every single day.
Yeah, same. You're full fusion.
You like fusion? Full fusion.
I read a funny quote about Asian fusion
recently.
How it's something for, I don't know.
Anyway, can't remember.
Good. That was a really good start. recently. How it's something for... I don't know. Anyway, can't remember. This is...
Good. That was really
good stuff. Hot content. That was great stuff.
The main feature of
this is, so you get on
and you swipe through like normal.
It's another dating app, just the same.
So find someone you like. Find someone you like.
Once you have matched, the only
way to move forward is to have a 60
second live
video chat. So
it pops up and you're face
to face. 60 seconds to work out
whether we've got an instant connection or not. Once
the minute is up, you then, at the end of the
video, choose not for me or
skip for now. This is like
speed dating. Not for
me or skip for now. Those are the same things. Yes
or no. Speed dating.
It is.
It's like the old school speed dating.
Yeah, it is.
Basically.
Which I've never, did you ever do speed dating?
No.
No.
That's horrible because you've got to see them.
And then, like, they move on to the next person.
You do have to see them eventually.
Yeah.
And then if they're hot and you're like, oh, like that one.
And then they look like they're having way more fun with the next person.
Oh, I know.
Then you're sitting there with your uggo in front of you looking across the table like, oh, that guy again.
Yeah.
Let's change the rotation.
Let's go counterclockwise.
Yeah, play the Uno reverse card.
So the other thing that's amazing about this is, you know how like on Tinder or Bumble or whatever,
you would put your like hottest, most filtered,
most well thought out photos.
On this app, Hello Tiger, you can't.
So you can't upload a photo from your camera roll.
You have to use the camera in app.
And take a photo.
Take a selfie that has to be updated every week.
So I kind of like that.
It's trying to like vet out the catfishes.
Yeah, because you couldn't catfish.
Well, this is me.
Yeah, you have to have the camera and go da-da-da. But then that's not going to stop you from caking on the makeup, is it?
I will cake it on.
I will get the lights.
I will absolutely get the angles going.
The selfie ring light.
Yeah, but that's still, I mean, it's better than, yeah,
like nip, tuck, pinch in here, remove my third arm here,
and voila.
Leave the third arm on.
Some people like that third arm.
Imagine the possibilities.
Yeah, this is pretty cool.
I mean, I think it would make a lot of people nervous,
the moment being like, oh, I like this.
The video call. Hi. Yeah, the is pretty cool. I mean, I think it would make a lot of people nervous, the moment being like, oh, I like this. The video call.
Hi.
Yeah, the video call aspect.
Like, do you even like getting a video call from a random friend?
Decline.
Yeah.
Always decline.
Is chat roulette still a thing?
Like the random video calls?
Remember chat roulette and all it just turned into was like,
how many chat roulettes would you do before you saw a diddle?
I don't know if it's still a thing.
I was going to say a big old diddle, but a lot of the time it wasn't.
And then they wanted you to say, that's a small penis.
And then they were like, yeah, humiliate me and stuff.
God, I spent some Saturday nights humiliating some people from around the world.
You think you call that a penis, do you, mate?
That's not a penis.
This is a penis.
Chatroulette.com.
It's still a thing.
It's still going.
Go.
Click on it.
Enable camera.
See how many... See how long it takes you
to get
a penis. How do I
go start? Here we go.
I'm going.
Press start.
Oh yeah.
Oh! Hi!
Next, go skip
She was in a sexy mode
I hear it
People are still using it
Oh he's frozen
Hello cutie
What's happening here
Everyone's frozen I think it's the work wifi
My work wifi is like oh hello
I'm surprised work wifi
Get him out
Get him out You Get him out!
Get him out!
He'll trick us out of 25 grand!
That's actually
amazing you've gone through five guys
and haven't seen a penis.
That's a pretty good looking people in it.
No.
Oh, hello.
Oh, he swiped me!
Oh, God!
You did it to five people and then someone did it to you. See how that feels? Hello? Oh, he swiped me. Oh, God. Oh!
You did it to five people and then someone did it to you.
See how that feels? Hang on, I'm going to take my jacket off.
Take my jacket off.
Also, you're wearing headphones and you have a microphone.
Oh, yeah, that's a little obvious.
I should have been working from home.
I should have been doing a podcast.
Yeah, you just look like an amateur podcaster.
Damn it.
Still amazed you haven't seen a pain.
And it's been like, what?
No pain.
You say amazed, you sound disappointed.
I'm up to my...
Hi.
Hi.
Oh, he's cute.
All right, well, we'll just leave Hayley there on chat roulette,
which is still a thing.
I'm cute!
I'm cute! Let's find Hayley's silly little pose. Silly little pose.
It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pose.
Silly little pose.
Silly little pose.
Silly little pose.
Silly little pose.
Should you be paid less for choosing to work from home?
If you were given the choice to work from home or pop into the office,
should you be paid less to choose working from home?
I think you should be paid more.
Because you're shouldering the power bill, the coffee and tea,
the water usage that you use every time you flush the toilet,
the internet.
Exactly.
You're costing the company less.
Because if you're a company person, like on a salary, you can't claim
that back as like, you know, like freelancers. We can claim anything. Yeah, you can claim
your internet, your power, a portion of it. Yeah. So a story from the UK says that, yeah,
a lot of employees are accepting pay cuts to keep working from home, but they shouldn't,
says this article. Because, yeah, like you say, paying for power.
I would just look at the workload.
Like, if the workload that you have for the week is still the same
and you're expected to achieve the same things, what difference does it make?
You get paid the same.
And the fact that if you're not going to work,
so you're not driving to work, you're freeing up the roads
so people can get to work on time, the people that are going,
and you're more productive.
You're saving for the productivity of the nation.
Yeah, but then you're saving that.
How much are you saving on petrol if you didn't have to go to work every day?
True.
That doesn't matter because you could bus or bike and how much you spend on gas.
So I don't know where they got to, but Google threatened to cut workers that paid from home
25% of their wages.
Google, the online company, would be the greatest example of a company that could work from home 25% of their wages. Google, the online company,
would be the greatest example of a company that could work from home.
Surely every single person that works for Google could work from home.
A 25% K-part?
K-part?
A K-part.
Are you having a... Sorry.
Is my cheek melting?
Yeah.
25%?
Yeah.
That's absurd.
Crazy, right?
Oh, yeah, because Google's really struggled through this.
And aren't you doing the business a favour by staying at home in a time like this? 25%. Yeah. That's absurd. Crazy, right? Oh, yeah, because Google's really struggled through this.
And aren't you doing the business a favour by staying at home in a time like this?
Well, yeah, because if you are sick and you come to work and then the people are at work and you make them sick, you're going to take productivity down.
This American survey found that 61% of respondents would be willing to take a pay cut to remain
working from home.
Well, yeah, because their costs, like you said about petrol, if they pay for parking, et cetera.
Yeah.
Plus you get to watch Rachel Ray in the background.
Yeah.
I pay my tax.
That woman knows a pastor.
She knows a pastor.
She knows how to cook, that woman.
God, how she's not eight times her size.
Oh, I know.
So many carbohydrates.
I know she keeps it pretty svelte, to be fair.
Yeah, she does.
She must work.
Yeah.
Well, we asked today in our silly little poll about working from home.
Should you be paid less from choosing to work from home?
94% of people said nope.
Nah.
If you can do it, you should be totally allowed to
and remain on the same amount of money.
Because your workplace is going to use less office space,
so they can pay less.
Downsize.
They can downsize. They can downsize.
Mrs. B,
she said 100%
of the people
that have said yes
to this are somebody's boss.
That's true.
Yeah.
I know there was
people putting in
those programs
on their
work from home laptops
that can see
if there's somebody
sitting in front of the camera
or if the mouse
moves and clicks.
Yeah.
And so people were like trying to come up with crafty ways
of being like, I've got to get my mouse moving and clicking
while I'm not at the computer.
And they put peanut butter on it.
What about putting it in their Roomba?
Yes.
You move around, drag it behind the Roomba
so it toes it around the lounge.
That works.
That works.
But did they say, look, I remember last year when,
no, not last year, 2020 when people first started
Working from home
That they looked at productivity
And how much work was getting done and it didn't change
It was even more in some cases
Yeah, people were working longer hours
Because they couldn't differentiate between like
End of the work day
And personal time, which I'm hoping
Everybody's found a better balance for
Luke said, if you choose to work from home, then yes,
because you aren't sitting at a desk for eight or nine hours a day,
maybe working five hours max.
But if you can get the job done in five hours.
Yeah.
Some countries that are looking into three-day weekends,
when you've got time after everything else you're doing.
Get what's at home, put those cobbles back.
But they say you wouldn't have to change the workload
or the amount of people that work there in the workload.
You just become more productive in the hours that you are working
because they're less demanding.
You're less like,
I'm doing this five days a week, eight hours a day.
Melissa comments from someone who is unable to work from home.
I'm in early childhood education.
I can't look after children from home.
And let's face it, no one worked eight hours during the lockdown.
They took the piss for sure.
But again, if you can get the work done in five hours
that you would expect to be, you know, done in eight.
Could she not, could Melissa not just put a sandpit in the back garden,
make some play-doh at home and kidnap the kids for the day?
Or get the parents to drop them straight off?
You know what, Melissa could. Sort of like a doggy daycare, but for kids home The day yeah Or get the parents To drop them straight off You know what
Melissa could
Sort of like a doggy daycare
But for kids
Yeah yeah yeah
Gotcha
Upload photos of them
Running around
Sure
Love that stuff
Sarah said
Businesses make savings
In office space
Cleaning services
Forks to restock
Forks
She's put forks up there
As one of the big
Big costs of running a business
You know
There is never any forks In the work drawer She thinks forks are bad She's put forks up there as one of the big costs of running a business. You know that there is never any forks in the work drawer.
She thinks forks are bad.
She's tried teaspoons in this building.
It's a fork economy.
You can't.
It's a cutlery economy.
Yeah.
So yeah, if they're making all those savings,
there's no reason why you should be paid less.
Do you think the fork industry is hurting the last couple of years
with people working from home?
Well, you look after your own forks better,
don't you?
Yeah, you look after it.
It's not some jumbled
collection of bloody...
Yeah, even this workplace,
it's a nice new building.
Oh, yeah.
The forks,
the cutlery drawer
looks like a bloody flat.
It's bad news.
Yeah, it's terrible.
We need to talk
to Bogsy about getting
a uniformed cutlery look.
I, for a long time,
have said
all the forks should be on a nylon string.
So you have to eat in the...
So you have to eat within a radius
of whatever the nylon string is.
How do you wash it?
You put them in.
Put it in a right tangle.
There's lots of string going into the dishwasher.
Sounds like a tangle.
It sounds like such a tangle.
Such a tangle.
Well, Louise said you've got to ask yourself
are you being paid for a job being done or travel?
It's the job.
It's the tasks.
So you can do it from home.
You're not being paid to travel to a certain location, are you?
Liana says, personally, I'm more productive at home.
I can concentrate.
My output has been higher.
Yeah, but then when do you switch off?
I don't know, when you've had a couple of wines.
Yeah, a couple of wines and the chase has started.
Yeah.
I mean, if you're still working and Bradley Walsh has passed the cash building rounds,
it's time to call it quits.
Yeah.
You should be paid more because of the expenses you are now covering
that your workplace doesn't need to.
That's Jodie.
Yeah, good call.
So there you go.
Overwhelmingly.
Absolutely not.
You should not be paid less if you choose to work from home.
Play.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. RAT. R-A-T. Rapid Antigen Tests. You should not be paid less if you choose to work from home.
RATs.
R-A-T.
Rapid Antigen Tests.
Yeah, I've been saying RAT tests.
Rapid Antigen Test Tests.
Test tests.
That's like saying pin number, personal identification number number.
Number number. But we all say it, don't we?
Yeah.
Well, RATs are the go-to test now for COVID-19.
In most of the daily figures, like what was it yesterday?
22,000 positive tests.
Was it 22?
Yes.
Most of those rat tests, if you get a rat test,
you do it at home, you go to My COVID Record and you...
I wondered how to do that.
I was just going to wait till I tested positive,
then ask you.
And then I like that you asked me, because I know, right?
How do I... That's literally how I'm going to tell you I test positive then ask you. And then I like that you asked me because I know, right?
That's literally how I'm going to tell you I've got COVID.
I'm going to be like, how do I report that I've got COVID again? So it's not the
COVID tracer app, it's the MyCOVID
record that you booked your vaccine
through on the interweb.
On the interwebby thing. It's linked to your
MyHealthy thing. But
pharmacies have started selling
rats and supermarkets as well, I believe,
from the end of this week or next week
will start selling them as well.
And Consumer NZ have taken a look
at the price variations of rat tests,
and they have found that prices range
from $6.50 per test to $19 in the most extreme cases.
Now, it's probably at this point we can point out it's free to get a rat test.
Yeah.
I mean, you may have to wait a little bit at your local testing centre,
or you can go to a lot of doctors, GPs are doing it.
That's still always going to be free.
But if you want to just, like, get someone to pop out for you, grab you one,
you've got to pay for it.
Or if you're going to have, say, you're going to have a gathering with friends
at the weekend, and you say to everyone, hey, go get a rat test or I've got a rat test for you.
You could buy like a pack of them.
Is that what we should be doing now when we socialise?
Well, I don't know.
Do you?
I mean, all the Kardashians did before they went away on holiday.
Otherwise, you're going to be held up as having a party.
A super spreader party.
You know when your potluck to be a super spreader.
And, you know, you don't want to be irresponsible.
But yeah,
so consumer looked into
the variations.
Warehouse stationery
was found to currently offer
the lowest prices on test.
$31.99 for a pack of five.
I didn't expect
the warehouse stationery
to be stocking.
You're picking up your
printer ink and cartridges.
Printer ink and a snussey test.
I guess it's everything
for work, right?
True.
Yeah.
So I don't know if the warehouse would be the same price-wise as well
or online, the market.
Foodstuffs will sell five packs for $32.99 a pack.
So that's, I guess, five pack.
What does that work at?
That's quite cheap per test.
That's cheap.
It's about six bucks something.
Yeah.
And Chemist Warehouse is selling five packs for $44.99,
working out at $8.99 a test.
So definitely going to pay to shop around
if you're going to buy a pack of them.
And there's different brands.
So I tried a different brand last night.
Oh, yeah, the TVNZ ones.
So we've been doing the NZ Me ones every second day,
but I tried a TVNZ one last night,
and it was delightful. What's the TVNZ next here? What's different about I tried a TVNZ one last night, and it was delightful.
What's the TVNZ next tier?
What's different about it?
Thinner swab.
Oh, yeah.
Bender swab.
Oh, so you can really bend it around your snussy.
Yeah, absolutely.
The spin around didn't make me like tickle hard out sneeze as much.
But I tell you what, the TVNZ one on the way up,
because it's thinner, I poked something.
Did you start bleeding from the brain?
I saw sounds.
Wow.
Just a little bit.
A reason why it pays to shop around,
one pharmacy,
it doesn't say which pharmacy,
it doesn't name it,
was selling a five pack for $74.99.
Are they profiting from that?
Yeah, 100%.
Making $15.
Yeah, $15 a test.
So whoever's selling them can choose their markup on them,
like any product?
Pretty much, yes.
That's greedy.
That's not playing.
Is it on Price Spy yet?
Oh, I don't know.
Do you guys use Price Spy when you're looking for electronics?
You get a Price Spy and it'll tell you who's got the cheapest.
Well, they've said, like, don't let it become the new toilet paper.
And over the weekend, 10 million rat tests arrived.
There's a photo of a plane landing at
Christchurch airport. You said rat test again.
Rats.
There's a photo of a plane at
Christchurch airport. Singapore Airlines
plane brought 22 million in.
And Aisha Verrill, the
health minister
said they've got orders for 180 over the next six months.
So don't go crazy buying them.
Yeah, I just saw in Australia they've actually made it illegal
to have more than a 20% markup on rats.
Good.
Yeah, it should be.
You can't profit off of the health needs of others.
If you're doing that, if you're doing that and you're listening, stop it.
Shame on you.
For shame.
From the bustling ZM think tank,
this is the top six.
Hello there.
Today's top six is the top six things on throw
at the New Zealand police. The New Zealand police
had a hell of a day yesterday. My kids,
when we were watching this,
the riot sort of situation
outside of Parliament
at the peaceful protest.
My kids didn't know
that there were that many police officers
in New Zealand.
Yeah.
They're like,
where have they all come from?
I assume that's every police officer
in New Zealand.
Well, they had Maxi Van,
some from the regions,
hadn't they?
Yeah.
Good day to commit a crime yesterday.
Great day for crime and master.
I didn't take that up. I day to commit a crime yesterday. Great day for crime in Macedon. I didn't take that up.
I didn't do any crimes yesterday.
Rural West Auckland police officers
all the way down there.
But I tell you what,
your Featherstones,
your Macedons,
you white it up,
it would be a great day
for a little B&E.
But they're back today.
But they had a raft of things
thrown at them.
It was a disgusting display.
Oh, the paving stones.
They were just...
Ripping up the streets.
Ripping them up, yeah, from Parliament.
That's going to need repacking.
They'll probably have to take the whole lot up,
repack the sand, put them back down.
You said there's a volunteer kind of army that's going to come in.
Yeah, Big Cleanup, I think it is.
Bigcleanup.org.nz.
Obviously, the grounds are out of bounds at the moment for everyone,
but next week I believe they're going to do some volunteering to help clean it up.
Right, so big police presence
on the streets this morning, but trains are operating.
Trains are back operating, but I
think they'll kind of get you to scooch
more waterfront than that side.
Than that way. Yeah, totally.
Into the CBD. Well, after having
heaps of bad things thrown at them, I've got the top
six things I'd throw at the police.
Nice things.
Number six on the list.
A hang loose sign.
Shaka.
When you're in the car and you see a cop going the other way.
Throw him away, shaka.
That looks guilty.
A little hang loose.
That looks weird and guilty.
Eureka?
You're trying too hard to...
Or maybe just if you're walking past one and you see one.
Throw a cop a hang loose. Is that what that says? You're trying too hard to... Or maybe we'll just, if you walk your parcel and you see one.
Throw a copper hang loose. Is that what that says?
It says, yeah.
Don't look at my glove box.
Me, drugs, nah.
Nah, man.
Shut up, bro.
Just offer a boogie board.
Boogie board.
What's that?
Boogie board.
Number five on the list of the top six things I'd throw at the New Zealand police.
A compliment.
Yeah.
That's a lovely pair of blue slacks.
Yeah.
You look great in that hat.
Or a thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you for your hard work.
Yes.
Number four on the list of the top six things I'd throw at the New Zealand police.
A free coffee.
Or maybe a voucher for a free coffee.
Are they allowed free food?
Yeah, you're allowed to buy them things.
I wouldn't throw it at them.
You're not rob buy them things. I wouldn't throw it at them.
You're not robbing them.
Yeah. Unless you're buying them
a, you know,
a Mercedes Benz
to turn a blind eye
to your international drug ring.
Yeah.
Then, of course,
that could be problematic for them.
Yeah.
But maybe a coffee
for the New Zealand police.
Could you do that?
Like at a coffee place,
like a drive-thru coffee place,
could you just say,
put one on the board
for the boys and girls in blue?
Yeah, I'd do that.
Yeah, yeah.
Rather than give them one,
which as a cop,
you'd be a little bit suspicious.
You'd be sus.
You'd be sus.
I can't drink this suspicious liquid, sir.
No, but if you...
You'd have to see it being ordered.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, or maybe just say, you know, you can do that pay it forward thing,
but make it specifically for the New Zealand police.
Yeah, lovely.
Yeah.
Number three on the list of the top six things I'd throw at the New Zealand police,
an invite to a fun community event.
Always good to have a police presence if there's a bouncy castle.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah.
They love a big gay out.
Yeah, huge fans of a big gay out.
Yeah.
Lying around the block
if New Zealand police officers
wanted to volunteer their time.
Yeah.
I mean, they're in a uniform.
Yeah.
Nothing goes down better
at the big gay out
than a man in uniform
or a woman in uniform.
Yeah, absolutely.
Number two on the list
of the top six things
I'd throw at the New Zealand police, a high five.
I don't know if they want to touch you in these COVID times.
Yeah.
Okay, cool.
Cool.
I understand.
Air high five.
Air high five.
Yeah, sure.
Some sort of hand-based congratulatory situation.
And number one on the list of the top six things I'd throw at the New Zealand police, a Vortex Mega Howler.
Oh, yeah. In a game where they catch it
and then they throw it back to me. Right.
Have those things hit?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've got to
hate being at the beach and hearing those things.
Oh, you grubby old prick.
You agree. It's the sound of
summer. No, it's not.
Take your fun elsewhere.
Throw a tennis ball.
I'm trying to get a tan.
Throw a tennis ball.
It's not the bloody 1960s.
Let's throw things that make an insane amount of noise.
And they've got a tail on them,
so I can throw them further than I could throw an ordinary football.
And that is today's top six.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM.
I'm looking at, wow, this is a crazy little list.
I'm looking at the list of the top 10 most common dreams in the world.
The things we dream of the most.
I find it weird when people are like, I don't dream.
Like, what is that? You know, I don't dream. Like,
what is that?
You know people that don't dream?
They smoke too much weed,
don't they?
Is that the problem?
That's a side effect.
What's cheese do?
More dreams.
More dreams,
more vivid dreams.
Magnesium really steps up the old dreams.
If you use like a magnesium oil
to relieve pain
or to recover from sports fatigue.
Muscle pain.
You really have some crazy vivid dreams on that stuff.
Yeah.
Well, I think I've probably dreamed of all of these.
Number 10 on the list of top 15 most common dreams from around the world.
Fish.
Beg your pardon?
I've never dreamed of fish.
Fish.
What do you mean, like fish in a pond?
Just fish in the dream.
Eating fish.
Catching fish.
Seeing fish.
Swimming with fish.
Fish touching you. Number nine, cats. Do seeing fish, swimming with fish, fish touching you.
Number nine, cats.
Do you know what it means if you dream of fish?
I don't know what fish mean specifically.
I've got more of the top ones.
Right, okay.
And cats are nine.
Yeah, nothing about fish.
Cats are nine.
Because, like, my cat would jump on me because he wants to be fed.
Yeah, probably.
You probably dream more about cats if you're a cat owner.
Right.
I'll get to the top of the list and tell you.
Number eight, money.
I often dream of having money that I don't have,
and then I wake up and I'm like, money's gone.
Money's gone.
I'm not in my Italian lakeside villa.
Yeah.
Number seven, and this is the one that I probably dream of Money is gone. That money is gone. I'm not in my Italian lakeside villa. Yeah.
Number seven, and this is the one that I probably dream of second to most for me, teeth falling out.
I don't ever have that dream, but I know that's a common one. It's a really common one.
If you dream of your teeth falling out, it's often about some kind of anxiety you have, self-doubt, frustrations, fears.
So maybe you've got like a lot on your mind at the moment.
Right.
Which is, I mean, if it's anxieties,
that's why I have that dream every night.
Number six, an ex.
Dreaming of an ex.
Oh, yeah.
Dream of exes?
Nah.
Or do you do that thing where where you'll see someone on Facebook,
maybe you haven't seen them for a while,
or maybe they'll message out of the blue,
and then that night they're in your dream?
The main character of the dream.
That's weird.
Don't they say in our dreams,
every face in our dream we've met before?
Yeah.
Our brain doesn't make up a face.
Our brain doesn't make up a face.
It doesn't make up a human.
So even when you're in a dream,
you're like, I don't know that person.
You have seen them.
Wow.
Number five, I've had this, cheating.
When you're like sleeping with someone else.
Yeah, I had a sexy dream the other night.
And what, you were cheating?
I was cheating.
Who were you cheating on your fiancé Aaron with?
A lovely lady.
Oh!
And so you'd obviously seen this face because...
Yeah, I knew who it was.
I know the woman.
But now that I'm thinking about it
I can't remember who it was specifically
It's a friend
Yeah I know those situations where you like
Are somewhere and you know it
When you're in the dream
I know this person very well
Yeah
And then afterwards I'm like
Was that
Who was that
You know the old
The human brain can't make up a face
And it can't make up a fanny
Can't make up
Couldn't make up this one I tell you what
10 out of 10
10 out of 10 Wait how We the picture perfect? 10 out of 10.
Wait, how?
We went all the way.
What do you want?
There was nothing else to the dream other than we had sex.
So it was an erotic.
I had a horny, hot, horny lesbian dream.
And I loved it.
God bless you.
Wow, okay.
Yeah, I woke up, no guilt.
Felt good.
But if you'd had a dream where your fiance had cheated on you,
would you be pissed off at him when you woke up in real life?
Yeah, that's the thing.
You wake up and you're like,
I remember what you said to me.
And he's like, I didn't say anything.
I didn't say anything.
I've been asleep for eight hours.
Number four, I'm sure we're all dreaming of this a lot,
travelling.
Yeah.
Travelling.
If you dream of travelling, it means exactly that.
Like you want to break free from your current situation.
So maybe it's not about actually going overseas,
but you want to go like where I am is not the thing. I want to be out of here.
Well you've been locked in a pandemic for two years
and haven't been able to leave the country.
I don't think I dream of travel.
Oh.
You dream about it.
Little corner of the world.
Number three, snakes.
Maybe not so much for Kiwi.
I would say that we're like
we're snake free. It's not a
reality to us. Number two, being pregnant. I've had this dream before and I've w that we're like... Because we're snake free? We're snake free. It's not a reality to us. Number two, being pregnant.
I've had this dream before
and I've woken up being like,
what am I going to do?
What am I going to do?
And it's the second most popular dream.
Second most popular dream.
Second only to, number one, dogs.
Dogs?
Dogs.
And if you dream about dogs...
Scary dogs.
I've had a dream that I've been chased by dogs.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Well, that means that
something really needs your attention
That you're not giving it attention
So if you're running away from a dog
You're running away from something in your life
That needs addressing
Yeah
If you're dreaming about an ex
The dog was called drinking problem
Drinking problem
Stop chasing that man
Get away
I can't even look you in the eye right now.
Catch me, drinking problem!
Yeah.
Leah, lots of meaning behind them.
I mean, it's all a bit of hoopla, isn't it?
If you're dreaming about an ex,
it could be a sign of healing about something else.
Like healing.
Or it could just be too much cheese before bed.
Could be.
If you're gardening in your dreams,
it can be that you,
if you've got overgrown weeds,
it might mean that you've neglected
a part of your life.
Right.
Like you've neglected your garden.
Or you've neglected your bush.
Somewhere money,
dreaming of money,
I mean, that's just, you know,
something that we all dream of.
Dreaming of money is thought to be a symbol just, you know, something that we all dream of. Dreaming of money
is thought to be a symbol of self-confidence
and self-worth.
Right. If you dream about
money regularly, it could mean that you're feeling
rich in your life,
but perhaps not.
Or it could just be a dream.
Or it could just be
that lovely baked
brie you had as an entree yum the world's most chaotic game show

What did you think of the World's Most Counted Game Show?
I'm just checking my heartbeat.
Oh, my God. It was so full on. World's Most Counted Game Show? I'm just checking my heartbeat. Oh, my God.
It was so full on.
It was like, bye, bye, bye.
Yeah, you've got to get rid of it.
A lot of it sounded you control, too.
Yeah, exactly.
Just go with the flow.
That just happens.
The game of chance.
Next on the show.
We're talking about what your argument style says about your relationship.
What's your argument style?
Every one of them.
We're very adaptable.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
A British relationship expert has delved into the world of arguing.
Something I pride myself on.
Looking into the different styles of arguing in your relationship
and what it could mean for your relationship.
Because if you're in a relationship at some point,
you are going to argue.
Yeah.
And if you don't, you're psychopaths.
You're sitting on a line.
When you meet a couple and they're like,
we don't argue.
I guess we don't really argue.
It's like, I guess you don't really care about each other.
So one of you is just an absolute doormat.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay, so the first style of arguing,
the volleyball, the back and forth. Boof, boof, boof, boof, boof, boof, boof. Over the net. Okay, so the first style of arguing, the volleyball, the back and forth.
Boof, boof, boof, boof, boof, boof, boof, over the net.
Okay.
It can be heated.
It can be chill, but it goes back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
And then spike.
And then spike, probably.
When she brings up something from six years ago.
Yeah.
That's the spike.
Yeah.
What it means for your relationship.
This is a healthy argument style because even though it's not enjoyable and it
could feel like it's going to go on forever,
you are actually giving each
other time. You're airing
everything, aren't you? Going back and forth.
You go, I go. It gives
both parties a chance to
speak, which eventually
will resolve any issues afterwards.
Sounds good in theory.
Yeah, exactly. This isn't a debate.
No.
Where there's a moderator saying,
excuse me, if you could just hold your retort
until it's your turn to speak.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, I'm going to move on to something
a little bit more familiar to me,
the screamer.
There we go.
This is when you're arguing with your partner,
but one of you is not letting the other person talk.
So they just keep raising their voice.
I'm getting louder and I'm getting louder and louder.
Oh, poor Aaron can't get a word in.
Oh, bless his soul.
This, deep down,
it means that you don't respect
your partner's opinion.
Do you respect your partner's?
I don't respect anybody's opinion.
Apart from mine.
No.
My opinion is the most important opinion
out of all the opinions.
So if you're just shouting down,
you're showing a lack of communication skills
and this is not a good sign for your relationship.
If this is the only way that you can argue, you're doomed.
You're going to break up.
Right.
The next one, flickering, a.k.a. bickering.
You never actually argue.
You're just constantly.
Oh, I don't like that.
Get it all done, that little nitpicking.
It never explodes.
It just kind of goes, biting.
And you are not a fun couple to be around too. You are not a fun couple to be
around. No. Don't talk to me.
I'm not getting into this. Yeah, oh no.
Can you fix your shirt? You've got a thing
on your collar. What this means
for your relationship, at some point you
are going to blow and because you haven't
allowed it to sort of have these peaks and troughs
you're going to break up. You're over.
You're kind of like a volcano simmering away. The gas
is building. You are. It's getting trapped. And everyone knows that you're going to break up. You're over. You're kind of like a volcano simmering away. The gas is building.
You are.
It's getting trapped.
And everyone knows that you're going to break up too.
Yeah, exactly.
People are just like tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.
I broke up with Steve after eight years.
You're like, oh.
Yeah.
Didn't see that coming.
I'm like, well, you're not surprised.
What?
I'm so surprised.
Yeah.
Reactive arguing, a classic sign of passive aggressive behaviour
in the heat of the moment
spiteful comments can be made so someone might start saying something and then you just hear
one thing gets into you and you react i'm pretty reactive um it's you it's usually due to a lack
of expressing your true feelings throughout the day or throughout the relationship. So one thing kind of just ticks you a bit and you'll react.
This is usually a sign of a narcissist
that can't take responsibility for their own actions.
So they're going, say that, say that.
Just totally like, I can't hear what you've got to say.
You're doomed.
You're set to fail.
And the last one we'll talk about, oh,
four, no, no, I'm going to include that one. There's two more.
This one's bad. You never
argue. This is what we talked about
before. You never argue. Just say, I don't want to
rock the boat. I don't want to upset things. That's
fine. That's fine.
You're doomed. You're doomed
basically because you're just like, you're not
passionate enough to care about anything
to actually sort of fight for something.
Or like you said, maybe want to use the doormat
and you just roll with it.
Yeah, totally.
And the last one that they've talked about
is called fiery social rows.
Fiery social rows?
It's when you save your arguments
for when you're out and about in public.
Drunk?
Such as a pub. Yep, pub or a party. your arguments for when you're out and about and public drunk such as
sounds like it
a pub
yep
pub or a party
such as a pub
that maybe
yeah party
maybe you're just like
it's fun
no I'm not even
going to talk about that
and you have a couple
of drinks
and you're like
you know what
well I actually
nah you know what
can you
another one of those
you know
and then off you go
they say oh off you go.
They say, oh, there you go. You can see that in the eyes too.
Yeah.
As long as your opinions, as long as the arguing is the messy bit,
but your opinions aren't too different to each other, you could be okay.
But put down the bottle and just have a little conversation over a cup of tea at home instead.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Gen Z, according to Bidu, it's a dating app.
They've released some studies, some figures,
that show that Gen Zers are definitely dating differently
than other generations, and they're favouring dawn dating.
Beg your pardon?
So morning dates.
Like, for example, not a dinner date.
That's not at all what they want.
A lot of them as well are going alcohol
free dates. Things like going to
the gym classes in the morning.
You might go to a pump class together.
You might go to yoga.
You might go to yoga
together. The only reason you would have
a dawn date is if you've stayed the
night from the night before.
Yeah.
And you're like, well, I'm here.
No, they'd rather go for coffee in the morning.
They'd rather do like maybe a morning walk.
Could have a mimosa?
No, alcohol free.
Where are they walking?
I'm not confused.
What are they walking to?
Where are they walking from?
So the key thing.
Is it the walk of shame?
That's always a good thing.
Are they walking home from town?
No, it's not.
They can't afford the Uber?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you can get a pie on the walk of shame? That's always a good thing. Are they walking home from town? No, it's not. They can't afford the Uber?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you can get a pie on the way home?
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
And I don't know if it's the pandemic,
but they're cutting to the chase and doing things that couples would usually do together for first dates.
They're psychopaths.
You just can't comprehend, can you?
So Gen Z's are about 24 years old and under.
Okay.
I believe.
And then what does it move into after that?
Gen A.
We've gone back.
We've started again.
Are we starting again?
Gen A from the block.
I'm still Gen A from the block.
But I mean, though, Gen As would be what?
Like up to eight at the moment and still going?
Yeah, between nine years old and 24 years old.
I don't know how the nine-year-olds are dating,
but we're talking more about the 24-year-olds.
It seems psychotic to me.
It seems wrong.
What are you going to talk about?
I wouldn't want to go to a gym class on a first date because you're all sweaty and stuff.
Sweaty stanky and you're in your skanky gym clothes.
I mean skanky isn't like falling apart
yeah
another thing
another activity
they may do
like you might go
to a craft
class
like you're just
shaking your head
oh I could be on board
with a craft class
for a first date
maybe like a
it's a little bit cute
yeah
it's a little bit cute
you get to take something
home at the end of it
and then like
if it works out
you can
hark back to that
And years come and be like
Yeah
Your mother and I went on a date
Maybe a coffee
And do you know what else?
It's cheaper than dinner
It's cheaper than a dinner date
But dinner doesn't have to be expensive
You could go to a little
Yeah but if you're
If you're trying to find someone
To get into a relationship with
You might have to go on dinner with like
Four or five different people
Yeah
It's a lot of money.
It adds up.
It does.
Even if it's just a cocktail or a drink.
What about like craft-wise,
could you make it,
would it be a bit much to make a sword?
I think so on a first date.
We're going to a smithery.
We're going to bash ourselves a sword.
I don't know if it would be too much,
but you'd certainly attract a certain type of partner.
Yeah.
If you were making a sword on your first date.
So I was wondering this morning, and it doesn't matter how old you are, what generation you're
in, with Gen Z coming to the chase and preferring morning dating, have you been on an unconventional
first date?
Like, what did you do for a first date that wasn't going out for dinner?
Going to the bar, having a drink.
Wasn't going for coffee.
Yeah.
What was the untraditional first date?
Like, was it something different? Did you go
mountain biking? Yeah.
Did you go whitewater kayaking?
Did you go bungee jumping? You know?
Nice to meet you.
Mountain
biking you would have to be
skilled. Mountain biking worries me because
someone like the guy
or the girl or the, you know,
whoever in this setup of the first date, the chat, the Tinder match and then the chat.
They're like, oh, I like mountain biking.
What about you?
They're like, yeah, me too.
Because they can ride a bike and then they're going to, you know, overpromise what they
are capable of on the two wheels.
I know someone who had to lie about liking biking, mountain biking, and then ended up
getting, you know, dragged into a mountain bike. Oh my God, I couldn't. Afternoon. two wheels. I know someone she had to lie about liking biking, mountain biking and then ended up getting
dragged into a mountain bike.
Oh my god, I couldn't.
I wouldn't even know what to do.
Give us a call. 0800 Dials at M.
You can text in as well. 9696.
What was your unconventional,
your untraditional first date?
Something a bit unusual. What did you do? Give us a call.
Gen Zers are dating
differently. I was like, which generation?
Not millennials.
Gen Zers,
24 and under,
are preferring
dawn dating.
No more wine and dining
in the evenings.
Alcohol-free dates,
most of them,
things that couples
would do together,
but for the first date,
like going to a gym class together.
No.
Going on a morning walk.
No.
A morning coffee
or a craft class?
So we want to know those first dates
that were just a little bit different.
Carl Wayne at the social media desk.
Hi. Now is this a date
that you've been on?
Yeah, it is. With current
partner and Nintendo
Switch hog, Ryan?
Not current partner, an ex.
An ex. Okay. What was the date?
So I actually went to his
grandparents house for drinks.
What?
What, Bailey's and cooking sherry?
Oh yeah. What would grandparents have to drink?
No, they did actually have a great selection of
alcohol. So what was the proposition?
Hey, do you want to come on this
date with me? Double date.
No, so we'd been talking for a while. It was
like during a lockdown. Yeah.
And we were like, oh, let's go get drinks on
the Viaduct. That's the vibe.
That's the vibe. Yeah. They
also live near the Viaduct. So
he was like, oh, let's just like pop in for pre
drinks. I always do this. So pre-loading
with the grandparents. That's cool.
And you went there.
Yeah. I don't know why.
Were they nice?
Yes, lovely.
Did you like them more than him?
No comment.
Okay.
What kind of drinks did you have?
What kind of drinks
did Nanny serve you?
The biggest glasses of gin
I've ever had in my entire life.
Oh, yeah.
Good stuff.
Wow, a little preload
at Nanny's pad.
But that's a first date.
That's not a first date.
You're trying to impress them. No, exactly.
You don't go, come over to my nan and pops.
Alright, well keep your texts coming in.
9696 0800 dials at M.
The unconventional, weird
first dates that you've had that
weren't, you know, dinner and drinks at a restaurant.
What's wrong with dinner and drinks at a restaurant?
Nothing.
See, I can't help myself.
I've always gone overboard.
You need to go home and sleep afterwards.
Yeah, let's go dancing.
Talking about the unconventional first dates that you've had,
because according to a new study,
Gen Zers, 24 and under, prefer first dates.
They're cutting to the chase.
Yeah, they're doing activities
and having brekkie and actually talking.
Well, preferring like morning dates,
things like going to gym classes,
going on a morning walk.
The gym class thing, no.
And a lot of them alcohol-free as well.
Yeah.
Cool.
Which you just cannot comprehend.
My first date with Aaron was just drinks, drinks, drinks, drinks, drinks,
drinks, drinks, drinks for hours.
Not like drunk, but, you know, it was just part of it.
Cocktails.
Cute.
We were like bar hopping down Courtney Place.
Good Lord.
Some messages in.
Different times.
Yeah, somebody said,
we took a seven-hour road trip to a gig for our first date.
Seven hours.
No, no, no.
What if about hour five you realise that you don't like them at all
and you've still got the gig to go and the ride home?
Somebody said, my first date, my partner took me shooting.
I shot a deer.
I mean, you had to kind of have been into that beforehand.
That's a big animal to shoot.
Your first animal you ever shoot's a deer.
You're jumping in the deep end of the pool.
Jess, what was your unconventional first date?
Good morning.
So my partner took me surfing for our first date
and I might have talked a slightly bigger game than I had.
It's not something you just sort of pick up and hop on.
Yeah, it's really not.
And it turns out I was good at hopping on and hopping off.
Didn't know much about the etiquette when you're out surfing and cut so many people
off.
My date spent the whole time just apologising to people and saying how nice it was that
we could take the blind kids out for the day.
Oh, babe.
Was there any more
dates and surfers?
Any more dates?
No more surfing dates, but plenty more dates.
We have been together eight years and we get married next year.
Oh!
Shaka hang
tin, guys.
Yeah, he likes to call me Kelly Slater.
Oh, babe.
Brilliant, amazing. Cheers, thanks for your call.
Donna, what was the unconventional first date?
Yeah, morning, guys.
How are you?
Good.
Good, thanks, Donna.
Our first date, we went and got our tongues pierced in Camden Town.
Oh, my God.
Your tongues.
Yeah.
Was that the plan?
Like, did you plan to do that on the first date?
Yeah, I think that was kind of, I knew we were going to Camden,
but, oh, gosh, it was a while ago.
Yeah, I think we kind of had some kind of plan to go to Camden Town.
I can't remember if tongue piercing was on the cards then,
but, yeah, we went and got a tongue piercing,
and then, obviously, we couldn't do much else.
We went and watched a movie and ate ice cream
Didn't seem to hook up, did you?
Not a lot of passion, not a lot of heavy Frenching
With a freshly pierced tongue
Did you end up going on any more dates with this guy?
Person?
Yeah, absolutely, yeah
Me and my now husband
We've been together for 11 years this year
And we've been married for six
Still pierced?
Yeah.
Still pierced?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
I've still got mine pierced.
His is no longer pierced.
He took it out, did he?
Yeah, he took it out eventually.
Yeah, but mine's still pierced.
Wow.
Donna, thanks for your call.
Molly, the unconventional first date, this was you.
So it was actually my parents, and it was mountain biking.
They'd actually met three months before, and Dad took my mum's number,
and so Mum was waiting on the call up for the date,
and waited three months, and then he called up and said,
hey, let's go mountain biking, because he was trying to plan the perfect thing.
So had Mum been mountain biking before?
Not really, no.
Is that why your middle name's Avanti?
Not very much.
Molly Avanti.
Helmet.
Helmet, pedal, Santa Cruz.
Your poor mum, she's waiting three months for your dad to call.
Yeah.
And then he finally calls and he's going to make her do some.
I guess she had nothing better to do. Yeah. And then he finally calls and he's going to make her do some. I guess she had nothing better to do.
Yeah.
Wow.
And then so, I mean, because mountain biking,
it's not like you're going, let's go for a little e-bike around
or a little push bike around.
It's quite full on.
You've got to have some skill in that area.
Yeah.
He actually kind of like left her in the dust as well.
Like he just kind of went off.
So I'm surprised.
Molly, how do you exist?
Yeah.
I know.
Do they still mountain bike now, Molly?
My dad bikes three times a day.
Oh, wow.
But mum's hung up the pedals?
Yeah, he actually bought her a bike for Christmas one year,
and I think she's used it twice.
But they've been married like 23 years now,
so I guess something else worked out.
Early days of mountain biking there.
Pioneers.
Pioneers.
Molly, thanks for your call.

Patrina? Patrician.
Yeah. A mum's name.
You only lost

So more wins than losses this year.
Yeah.
We want this today.
We need this.
We've had a good week.
Yeah.
Out of the funk.
I'm out of the funk?
You're out of the funk.
You're saying this week's flying because you're out of the funk.
I was going to say the world is getting worse and worse,
but my personally.
Yeah, I think the world needs this win.
They do.
With everything that's gone on this week.
The protesters,
the Ukraine situation.
Can I just say
the sexy wheelbarrow,
aka Vaughn Smith, you're putting a lot
of pressure on here.
And then if I feel if it goes wrong, everybody
felt like I was going to drag them all out of the funk
and then their funkness is going to be
placed at my feet where I've got nothing to do with their funkness.
Alana, have you been in a bit of a funk recently
and need to get pulled out of it by Vaughan?
No, no. I don't want to put pressure
on him. Yeah, put the pressure
on him. Put the pressure on.
Okay. Question one.
Does your mum go fishing?
No.
Not at all.
Okay. It's not really a mum thing, is it?
Traditionally.
Excuse, excuse, excuse.
It's not.
The men do it to get away from the wives.
I mean, he's not wrong.
Shake off those gender roles, boyfriend.
It is 2022.
Yeah, and they still exist.
Okay, always start with a Karen.
My dad loves a fly fish down in the river.
Does he? Yeah, he's a whited upper boy. I've always wanted to be taught that. Oh, come down with a Karen. My dad loves a fly fish down in the river. Does he?
Yeah, he's a whited upper boy.
I've always wanted to be taught that.
Oh, come down.
I feel like I'd like it because no one else is there.
You just love it because of those big leather overalls.
Put your waders on.
The chats.
Those sexy leather overalls.
Do the long, do the waders come arseless?
Yeah.
Fantastic.
They do.
Chills your bottom.
I think you have to order those specially from a special store.
I could just buy a pair of waders and then cut the ass out.
You can.
You can DIY them.
I'm like an arseless chap.
And then you've got your Pride Week costume.
Bingo.
Two in one.
A twofer.
I'm fly fishing.
Yeah.
I've got a lovely little rainbow trout on the line.
Oh, my Lord.
Would I have said that?
Shush, you're distracting me.
And now I'm not writing enough names down.
I'm using, I'm standing today and I have said, that's sure, she's distracting me and now I'm not writing enough names down. I'm using,
I'm standing today
and I'm using this
ridiculous long pad.
This is the reason
I asked about fishing
is because the pad's got
the centimetre measurement
down the side
and it reminded me of a,
oh, when you're on a boat.
Yeah,
and you've got to,
she's making a,
she's making a snapper.
That's why I asked
if your mum goes fishing.
No, she'll eat the fish.
She just won't go fishing for it.
So she's a fan of the fish.
Definitely.
Cool.
Definitely.
Cool, cool, cool.
My mum's a fan of the fish, so I'm going to put my mum's name down.
Okay.
But my mum will go fishing too.
Will she?
Yeah.
She loves it.
Always wears her life jacket too.
Safety first.
Yeah.
Second question.
What is mum's sweet treat?
Like if mum was going to make, if someone was coming
around for an afternoon tea and
mum was going to make a sweet treat, what would the
sweet treat be?
She wouldn't make, but she would buy
a packet of those
chocolate mint slice biscuits.
Minty biscuits.
It's a minty biscuit.
It's a delicious minty biscuit. It's a delicious minty biscuit.
It's a delicious minty biscuit.
Right.
I thought you were going to say like a sourly.
What about Barry from Watford?
I thought you were going to say like a sourly cheesecake or a mousse.
One of those things.
A mousse cake.
Yeah.
Mum is not that fancy.
She's not that fancy.
Okay, mum's not that fancy. And she doesn't bake. She doesn't bake. Yeah. Mum is not that fancy. She's not that fancy. Mum's not that fancy.
And she doesn't bake.
She doesn't bake.
She doesn't bake.
She's definitely not.
What?
She doesn't even use her oven,
so there's definitely no baking. Are you kidding me?
She doesn't roast either. Sounds like a
Tracy. I don't think a Tracy would use an oven.
Yeah, yeah. Tracys. Are you kidding me?
Tracys love their oven, but not as much as they love their microwave.
True, yeah.
Tracys love microwaving things.
Okay.
What is mother's date of birth?
The 21st of September, 1955.
55.
55!
And she doesn't use an oven.
I'm surprised she hasn't been shunned from society.
She's from the 50s.
Yeah.
Women were out of the womb and straight into the kitchen.
She doesn't like hot food.
She only likes eating things cold.
She doesn't like cook anything.
What does she have for dinner most nights then?
Most of the time she'll have like shredded chicken
that she's brought from the supermarket and a salad.
Oh, wow.
Probably costing her bloody moonbeams at the moment
with $18, $50 lettuces.
Yeah.
$45 doesn't look enough for us.
Now, is that a clue?
That's more clues than a name.
Yeah, you've just got a bonus question there.
It's a fussy Fiona there.
Oh, a fussy Fiona.
Yeah, right. Cold food. Yeah. Cold food. Lor a bonus question there. It's a fussy Fiona there. Oh, a fussy Fiona. Yeah, right.
Cold food.
Yeah.
Cold food.
Colleen.
Okay.
Cold food, Colleen.
The 50s.
Room temperature, Ruth.
Ruth.
Pat, have you got a Pat there?
Yeah, and a Maureen.
A Pam?
A Pam.
I'll put a Pat and a Pam.
And a Sally.
Okay, fourth question.
What are mum's siblings' names?
She's only got one sister and her name's Christine.
Oh, I'm going to cross Christine off my list then.
She was on there.
That's your mum's name too, isn't it?
My mum doesn't have any sisters,
so I can't like in place add my mother's sister
because that would have been born around the same time.
If your mum did have a sister, what do you
reckon your auntie would be called? Well, I've got an
Uncle Paul and an Uncle Murray in that family
so maybe Paula. Okay, yep.
And Maureen.
Maureen, okay.
Okay.
Siblings.
Last question.
Check. What's mum's favourite
TV show?
Oh, like The Chase or Tipping Point.
Oh, she's got good taste.
She loves that.
She's got a game show streak.
Okay.
Game show streak.
So you've got your...
I don't know if you can call it a streak.
I didn't say she's good at it.
She's like watching it.
Yeah.
Oh, no, no.
I mean like a streak.
Like a...
Like a flare.
Yeah. She's no, no, I mean like a streak. Like a flare. Yeah.
It's got a streak for...
I don't quite know how to describe streak, but I know what I mean.
Got a Janice on there?
No.
Oh, yeah, that's a good one.
I put a Jan after it because you'll be really annoyed if you get that close.
Yes, exactly.
Got to cover your bases.
I've got a Linda.
I don't have a Linda.
I'm going to put a Linda on the list.
What was that?
I'm going to put a modem on the list.
Your mum could be a modem.
Are you wearing a tinfoil hat, Alana?
Is it affecting your cell phone coverage there?
You're back.
Okay.
Okay.
That's your five questions.
All right.
So, Alana, Vaughan now has 15 seconds to guess your mum's name.
If you hear your mum's name, yell out, stop, that's my mum's name.
Your time starts now.
Karen, Wendy, Glenda, Kate, Louise, Margaret.
Stop, that's my mum's name.
Wait, what?
Which one?
Glenda.
Glenda.
That was the third on your list.
And despite the fact that you told me your mum doesn't go fishing,
that name is from a mum I know who does go fishing.
Shout out Glenda.
Glenda.
Shout out Glenda Petrie.
Anna's face.
She did not believe you could get Glenda.
Glenda Petrie.
Glenda.
Glenda.
Lovely.
Mrs. P.
Where does Mrs. P live?
Back home in Lawrenceville.
Oh, lovely.
She loves a bit of fishing.
Yeah.
Well, actually, they do a lot of travelling now, her and Simon.
They're getting around.
I see it on Facebook all the time.
Okay.
Simon.
They're really living life.
Well, Alana, this has now triggered the bonus round.
Bonus round!
While you're on the phone, I'll have a go at guessing your dad's name.
Wow.
You tiny prick.
How do you do this, glenda all right so what about
glenda and greg no i don't know it won't be two g's no 55 it's got to be a classic your classic

The Rolling Stones.
Who were they?
If you're thinking of more. Keith.
Yeah, Keith.
Oh, a Keith.
Keith and Glenda.
Could be a Keith.
Could be a Keith and a Glenda.
Keith and Glenda named their little baby Alana.
Mac.
I reckon it's got to be something more like a Paul or a Peter or a John.
Not a Keith?
Got to be something simple.
It's 50, you know, mum's 55.
But then a Keith.
Keith really came in
in the early 60s.
We also don't know dad's name.
Mum could have gone younger.
You know what I'm saying?
On those age.
Because Alana doesn't sound,
like that's my parents age
and Alana doesn't sound my age.
So I'm saying.
No.
I beg your pardon?
Okay, to a certain.
Not with that tone you don't't know but that tone you don't
no definitely not i was the mistake like 20 years after my sibling so oh okay wow 20 years a mistake
mum and dad were celebrating the kids finally being out of the house. And Mum's like,
Glenda's just had a cold meal.
Glenda's like,
Keith, I told you to get that vasectomy.
You never listened.
She's like,
I'm all worked up from my room temperature quiche.
Because I can't eat it hot.
I had to make it last night and I need it today.
God, did you just hear that Glenda and Keith are pregnant?
Glenda and Keith.
It's not Keith. Okay, well, we now need a name. Glenda and Keith are pregnant? Glenda and Keith. Glenda. It's not Keith.
Okay, well, Vaughan.
Keith's not sitting right.
Dave.
We need a name.
Glenda and Dave.
Lock in a name.
What is Alana's dad's name?
Glenda and.
I need this, Vaughan.
The nation needs this.
Yesterday was a terrible day.
No, the nation's got what they need.
They got Glenda.
This is just purely for joy.
I love it. I love that.
Oh, that's so bad.
I'm stuck on Dave
more than I am on Keith.
Okay, well,
are you going to lock in Dave?
Do you know the answer?
I do not know the answer.
Dave.
Are you going to lock in Dave?
Dave.
All right, Alana,
what is your dad's name?
Alan.
Alan.
Alan.
That's my middle name.
Oh, Alan.
I thought you said Owen.
Oh, wait.
What did you say?
No, Alan.
Alan.
Alan.
That's your own name.
That's just Alan.
Alana is Alan with an A.
Alana.
Yeah.
So he knocks your mum up 20 years after she's done
and then vanity names his daughter.
But Glenda and Alan, Alana.
They've just moved their names.
Wow.
Well, Alana, congratulations.
$100 cash is yours.
Vaughan managed to guess your mum's name.
Congratulations.
Thank you so much.
Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan managed to guess your mum's name. Congratulations. Thank you so much. I gave Aaron a very simple task yesterday.
I asked him to do me a favour.
I wanted him to go out to the shops and buy me a Swiss ball.
You know, the big, bouncy exercise balls.
Full of Nazi gold and Toblerone.
No, just full of air.
Just a big Swiss ball full of air.
Neutral air.
Swiss air.
I used to have one.
It was my office desk chair.
Yeah.
And they're really good for your posture.
That was such a craze.
Everyone was on the Swiss balls instead of the chairs.
You've got to watch out because you know the buttons on your jeans? Yes.
They kind of wore through and then
I like sat on it one day and it popped.
Or like, not popped, but slowly deflated
and kind of encased me.
And I was like, well, that's a wake
up call, isn't it?
I always think they're going to pop.
But anyway, I was like, I got home
yesterday and I said,
did you manage to pop out to the shops and get me a Swiss ball?
He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I was like, have you pumped it up?
And he said, no, no, no, not yet.
And I was like, oh, do you mind doing it?
I need to do my exercises.
I mean, do it yourself.
Absolutely not.
Why have a partner?
And then he was like, oh, yeah, cool.
Is he your partner or assistant?
Column A, column B.
Okay, yeah. He went out to the garage and got it. He brought it in. Is he your partner or assistant? Column A, column B. Okay.
He went out to the garage and got it.
He brought it in.
He'd even bought a special bike pump in order to pump it up properly. Oh, yeah, because you need like the rugby ball or the netball needle.
Yes.
Not just like a bed pump.
What PSI did you get that bad boy up to?
Absolutely no idea.
And then I sort of left the room to let him
to pump it up.
Anyway, I came back in
and he goes, it's not
does it stretch? Because it's not
pumping up any bigger than this.
This is what he'd bought.
It was like one of those
medicine ball.
He thought that that was
a Swiss ball and he pumped it up.
And when it got to this point, he thought that at that point
it would just expand into the size.
Because they do expand quite a bit when you pump them up.
No, but when you have a saggy Swiss ball,
it is the size of the Swiss ball.
You just fill it with air.
That is the size of a net ball.
Yeah.
What is that Swiss ball used for?
I don't know.
Stretching?
Yoga? Not what I
need it for. Rolling on the backs?
He just had no idea.
It is exactly, it's the same pin
that you put in when you pump it up. Same pin, same
texture, same material.
So at this point, I will
say that this photo of
Hayley's tiny Swiss ball is
on our Instagram, FVHZM.
We've had to strategically position the text.
Oh, yeah, well, so I was a bit baps out.
Over the boobs there when you send that to the group chat.
I didn't want to say anything, but it's very breast heavy.
It was almost like you were one of those people that was like,
look at this new necklace my partner got me,
but underneath the necklace it's just like shaboomba.
Oh, I know.
I wasn't really anticipating sharing it.
I just had to capture the moment that Aaron
thought that this tiny
netball-sized ball
was a Swiss ball. He thought he was just being
boyfriend of the month
getting this Swiss ball. And the fact that he
pumped it up and didn't realise
that he didn't realise it wasn't going to work.
That he still pumped it up thinking it was just
going to magically turn into a Swiss ball.
Did he take it back and get a refund?
No, because he'd blown it up and ruined all the packaging and stuff.
So now we've got that and absolute no use for it.
And I still need a Swiss phone.
And we can do some kind of ballet routine.
Oh, yeah.
I could do ball gymnastics.
Like, what's that, circus?
Cirque du Soleil.
Yeah, that.
We're the brothers.
Cirque du Soleil.
Yeah.
You just dance around
With a ball
Okay well maybe
I'll work on my
Rhythmic gymnastics skills
With it instead
So it's not just
A complete waste of money
Bless him
Or
Put it up a baggy sweatshirt
And get people to freak out
Thinking that you're
Six months pregnant
With that same baby
No I do that
Just by eating some onions
And cauliflower
Gotcha
The old FODMAPs eh
Play ZM's
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Today's fact of the day is about our genetics.
Okay.
Our DNA.
8,000 years ago, for every 17 women that reproduced, one man did.
So that means, to break it down, one man would have relations with 17 women on average.
I thought you meant back in the day men got pregnant.
My whole brain was like, what?
Why did they stop doing that?
So one man would impregnate on average 17 women.
Yeah, they studied the chromosomes.
Chromosomes. Yeah. The family trees? No, the X and the Ys. Yeah, they studied the chromosomes. Chromosomes.
Yeah.
Chromosomes.
The family trees?
No, the X and the Ys.
Oh, yeah.
The two Xs, the X and the Y.
And they could work out going back that thousands and thousands of years ago,
the female genetics got spread a lot more than the males.
And they're like, what's going on here?
Further study into it showed that, yeah,
women would be reproducing with a single male,
and a single male could be reproducing with up to 17.
Now, did they know about each other?
Clear.
These other women?
My man.
So it was a little bit different to modern society.
Yeah.
It was more thought upon that the men who first figured out how to, like, crop
or put a fence up around some animals, they could feed people.
And that, obviously, is a very attractive thing.
Yeah, right.
Survival, the hunter-gatherers, except, you know, the hunting was easy
because they were inside of a fence and the gathering was within Kui
because they'd worked out how to
plant things close together. So it's not, it's
less gold digging, more potato
digging. Yeah. Really, potato
diggers would come for this man. I'm saying I'm a potato
digger. But she doesn't
want no guy who can't provide her
food. Good
rap lyrics. Yeah, that's pretty much
how that would have been 8,000 years ago
Kanye. So, yeah's pretty much how that would have been 8,000 years ago, Kanye. So, yeah, and so these men became the ones that could feed you
and in return they would breed.
Did they then have to provide for their multiple children?
Yes.
It's a lot of child support.
It's a lot of child support.
A lot of child support, but when they're old enough, workers.
Yes.
And you could expand your food lean empire.
More potatoes, more women.
Yes.
It's a cycle, isn't it?
But then you would have daughters and sons.
And then a couple of those daughters or sons might get eaten by a T-Rex.
Yeah.
Or you've always got to account for a T-Rex loss.
Absolutely.
I still account for a T-Rex loss.
That's why I've got two children.
You know, there's a 50% chance of a T-Rex loss.
Any moment one of them could get swallowed up by a T-Rex.
Yeah.
Absolutely by a T-Rex.
Or stood on by a, what's one of those big ones?
Brontosaurus.
Yeah, Brontosaurus.
Oh, they're cool.
With the big necks.
Or cornered in a kitchen by a raptor.
Oh, God.
That's worked out.
I'd open the door because clever girl.
Yeah.
So reading more into it, it just worried me a lot about inbreeding.
Yeah, I bet.
Yeah.
There must have been a lot of it.
Yeah.
And also worried me, I would like to sit down with racists and show them this.
Yeah, yeah, true, true, yeah.
I mean, just another string in the bow of why racism is the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Yeah, they're certainly open to a great conversation.
Oh, that's what I've found.
Racists, homophobics, transphobes.
These are people who have open minds.
Absolutely.
Wildly open minds.
You're just going to pose them a new idea and they'll go
They'll laugh it up
Never thought of it that way
Well put they'll say
So today's fact of the day is 8,000 years ago
For every one man
Who reproduced
17 women did the same
It's like an R value
Isn't it?
It is
Like a virus.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Despite most of us having a closet full of clothes,
apparently we complain that we have nothing to wear
at least six times a month.
Mine's every day.
It's because nothing fits.
Thank you, COVID.
But another finding to come out of this study
that looked into the wardrobe habits of the Brits,
but I'm sure it's very similar over here,
was that people have on average around $300 worth of clothes
that have never been worn.
Would that be, if it's from Britain, would that be pounds?
So is that $600?
Well, I think there's an American website,
so it'd be closer to like, say 500.
Five.
500 bucks worth of clothes, outfits,
that have never, ever seen the light of day.
Like, is that when people buy, like, gold clothes?
Like, I love this.
Yeah, but they only have it in a 10.
But I think I could be that size again one day.
Yeah.
So it goes in your wardrobe and then you're never that 10.
Yeah.
I have a rule that if I buy something new, I'll leave the tag on.
And then if I notice that it's, like, still got the tag on,
months and months later,
I'm like,
I'm not going to wear that.
Months later.
So then you can like sell it
brand new with tags.
Right.
That's a good plan.
That's never been worn.
Yeah, that's a good plan.
But then why buy it
in the first place?
If you weren't that into it
that you put it in your wardrobe
for two months.
I know,
but sometimes I think
I'm funkier than I am
and I'll buy something
really brave and funky
and I'll be like,
hell yeah, I want to be that girl.
I'm never that brave.
And then every day I'm like, I'm not that girl today.
I'm not that girl today.
She can't wear that wide brim hat to work.
You know?
Because we would instantly call you a gardener or something.
Yeah, probably.
A boomer gardener.
I'd be here for a wide brim hat, but you can't wear them with headphones.
Headphones, yeah.
Like that.
Maybe. Okay, maybe. I look like a DJ. Yeahphones, yeah. Like that. Maybe.
Okay, maybe.
I look like a DJ.
Yeah, you look like an Outback DJ.
We'd probably call you DJ Outback.
Yeah, it's cool.
We'd still, we'd give you shit though.
Yeah, of course you would.
So that's why I'll just slap on a flappy frock
and just come to work and not say anything about it.
Only 6% of adults say that they have worn everything
in their wardrobe at least once.
I'd say that.
I'd say I've worn everything.
Definitely.
Easily.
And then when I do, I wear it to death.
Yeah.
Every day.
So how many items, if you had to put a value or an item count,
how many garments in your wardrobe have never-
Have I not worn?
Yeah.
Not too many, I would say.
It's mostly stuff I haven't worn for a couple of years.
So I've got like lots of nice clothes that haven't seen the light of day for at least pre-2020.
And what happened in 2020?
I stayed inside and I got fat.
And so nothing fits.
And I'm not ready to part with my beautiful clothes.
You can't get rid of them.
One day.
One day. One day.
We don't know.
Executive Intunanya, would you be able to do this?
Put an item counter, a dollar amount?
I would say between $1,500 and $2,000.
Absolutely.
That's normal.
Stuff that you haven't worn but you've bought.
Yep.
And now.
Hang on.
Just to put it into context,
these boys are both wearing probably
a $25 t-shirt
at this point,
but that is not
health.
This one is free.
They said I could
keep this because
I put it on
and I stunk it up
or whatever,
yo.
Women's clothes
are more expensive,
so $2,000 worth
of clothes
in your wardrobe,
Fletch,
is not,
we don't have
as many clothes
for that much
buck.
I don't even have my entire wardrobe would ever have added up to that.
No.
100%.
Yeah.
Do you remember that light to medium iconic addiction that I had a couple of years ago?
Oh, iconic, yeah, the Australian shopping outlet.
Constantly getting orders.
Yeah, well, look, that was 10 kilos ago.
But why don't you sell all of those clothes?
Because one day.
One day.
One day my prince will day. One day.
One day my prince will come. One day, probably the same day it'll happen to me.
Yeah, any same day I reckon.
Any day. But then, by the day, if that does
happen, even if these things are a couple of
years old, they're not in fashion anymore. No, they'll be wildly
out of date, but I'll be a skinny and fitting
into them. Would it be like a little peplum top
or something? People are like, we're not doing peplums anymore
you're like, but look, I'm tiny again.
Look at it, it's on.
So we want to ask this morning, 0800 DALS at M and 9696,
how bad is it in your wardrobe?
Yeah, how much money is just sitting in there?
What is your most expensive unworn purchase?
Just sit in there because one day maybe you'll find the occasional.
One day maybe you'll fit it again.
And if you can't put a dollar amount on it,
maybe just how many things are in the wardrobe that you've never worn.
Maybe like me, you've split your wardrobe between three wardrobes in your house.
The daily wardrobe, the fancy wardrobe, and the skinny wardrobe.
On average, people have about $500 worth of unworn clothing
just sitting in their wardrobe for various reasons.
We asked you what's happening in your wardrobe.
Sarah, what's the damage?
I have two wedding dresses that are brand new with tags
that are worth over $8,000.
Wait, did you never get to wear them?
Well, we got engaged and then we were starting to plan our wedding
and then COVID happened and we've got a lot of family in Australia
and a lot of really close friends.
So we sort of put that all on hold until after this whole situation settles down,
which it just never seems to be doing.
And now our mate-mom's pregnant, so I'm not going to be wearing them for at least a year.
Wow.
And did you think, so that'll be like three years, maybe, and once you've had your baby,
do you think in three years' time you're going to even like those dresses?
Yes.
I know I'm definitely going to like the one that I, because I bought two.
The long dress,
that was my absolute dream dress
and I wouldn't have bought it
if I didn't absolutely love it
and it's absolutely timeless.
Okay.
Why did you buy the other one then?
Because it was only $200.
Yeah, backup dress.
A backup.
Or you can do a costume change.
That'd be cool.
Oh yeah, one for the reception,
one for the ceremony.
Yeah, well, it's a 10-length dress,
so I was thinking I could wear it for the night before,
you know, the rehearsal.
Rehearsal.
Oh, yeah.
Hold on to them, babe.
Hold on to them, I reckon.
Good idea.
Sarah, thanks for your call.
Mahalia, what's happening in your wardrobe?
So I decided during lockdown I was going to do a massive wardrobe clear out and just get rid of everything and replace it with less items but more like high quality items.
Quality, yeah.
We all had that thought.
So I bought a whole bunch of stuff but I'm about OCD so when I buy like one brand I kind of like everything to be the same brand.
Okay.
So I bought some Ralph Lauren clothing because I was like, oh, this is nice and fancy.
And I
saw this beautiful swimsuit
on the iconic website.
So I bought it
and it was like $450.
Oh my gosh!
But I was determined that I was
going to have it. So I bought it online
and the risk of buying things online is you don't get to try them on.
It's a swimsuit.
My God.
And I'm really tall.
I'm 5'11".
And it doesn't fit.
And it's too short.
So it basically rides right up my hoo-ha.
Oh, my God.
I know.
I'm 5'11".
Hoo-ha.
Hoo-ha.
I'm 5'11".
There's no one piece long enough to fit this bot.
No.
It's infuriating.
Right at the hoo-ha and the baps are out as well at the same time.
It's ridiculous.
Long torso.
Long torso.
Long in the torso.
Are you long in the torso too, Mahalia?
I am very long in the torso.
Long in the torso.
And in the legs.
Yeah.
Long in the legs and the torso.
Sure.
I'm short in the head there.
I'm squat in the legs.
I'm currently just sitting in my drawer and I'm too light.
I don't want to throw it out because it was so expensive
and it's so beautiful, but I'm probably not going to shrink.
You're not going to shrink your height.
It's never going to fit.
I could chop a little bit out, and then it will fit.
You're going to chop.
You're going to chop.
No.
C1 vertebrae is gone.
Everything drops down an inch.
Oh, just sell that.
Mahalia, thanks for your call.
So the average person has about $500 worth of unused,
never worn clothing in their wardrobe.
Well, that's what a study showed,
but from what we're hearing,
it seems to be slightly higher than that.
I'll just buy something and wear it to death.
You're the same.
Like this T-shirt I've probably worn 100 times.
Oh, no way.
I can't tell.
Yeah, you could do with them.
I'd wash it between wears, I reckon.
I'd wash it between wears.
Some text messages.
That is today's breakfast.
Yeah, okay.
Disgusting extravagance.
You know, it's a sign of a late stage capitalism,
if you ask me.
Society itself is crumbling.
I don't want to be all, like, green-pacing stuff,
but I saw a documentary.
Oh, no, don't.
Don't talk about it.
This is where they were sending all of the, you know,
the clothes you put into recycle bins in Australia.
They were going to, like, Africa.
And this village in Africa had mountains of clothes.
Lucky. No, that were
like in landfills.
Because they try to recycle and
resell some stuff, but a lot of it is just
rubbish. So much of it's going to landfills.
So much fast fashion. There was a time a friend of mine
bought a boxing bag and it had a zip on
the back. I was like, what's in these? And we
unzipped it and it was stuffed full of clothes.
Oh yeah. Yeah.
It's wild. It's just old people's old clothes.
There's people like Haley are slowly ruining the planet.
Yeah.
I know.
Some messages in.
I have $1,000 genuine leather Balmain sneakers,
never worn, present from an ex, and I hate them,
but I can't throw them away.
They're $1,000.
Trade me.
Some other sucker's going to buy those.
Yeah.
Even if you get $300 for them.
$200 for them. Yeah, especially if they were a gift. And you don't
like them. Get rid of them. And it's an X.
Get rid. Just before lockdown
I was over in London. I bought an insane
amount of clothes and all their 70% off sales.
I sent them back.
I sent them shipped back.
And so
lockdown, then lockdowns came and I haven't taken the tags off yet
because there are all these clothes that I haven't had occasions to wear them for.
No, exactly.
Thousands of dollars worth of clothes in there.
What about going out clothes?
Seldom.
Yeah.
Sitting there.
Chantelle, how bad is it?
Hi.
So I have about $5,000 worth of clothing.
And I'm ashamed of my wardrobe.
Chantelle, what kind of stuff is just sitting in there?
It's not even just sitting in there.
It's all over the floor.
I can't actually get in my wardrobe.
And why aren't you wearing it?
Because I put on weight.
Yeah, me too, girl.
Oh, but do you think you should sell it
and then use that money to buy clothes that you can fit now?
Or do you want them as a goal?
Absolutely.
So funny you should say that.
I've actually just started to put things up for sale,
but it's really hard to part with them.
Oh, I know.
I know.
Because you do take a loss, eh?
Even if it's, you know, got the tags on.
No, it's more the emotional connection, isn't it, Chantal?
Never got to wear you.
Yeah, particular dresses you think, God, that was gorgeous.
And some of it I brought that wasn't in my size,
thinking, yeah, I'll get to that one day,
and it's just not happening.
Now you've gone the opposite direction.
Well, good luck dealing with all of those.
What's the centimetres from the armpit to the neck?
Oh, my God.
Can I have hem to neck, please?
Just burn them.
Just burn them.
Chantal, thanks for your call.
Some other text messages.
There are thousands and thousands
and thousands of dollars
in my wardrobe.
I've got a wardrobe
from when I worked
at a very fancy corporate industry
where I had to wear shirts
and suits and dresses,
expensive ones from Ted Baker.
I still have all my maternity clothes
that I can't part with
even though the uterus
is closed for business. I still have all my maternity clothes that I can't part with even though the uterus is closed for business.
I have
my fat clothes from after
babies and pandemic innings and now I'm even
in fatter clothes and yet I still buy clothes in the
pre-baby size that I know I can't
wear. No, we've got to stop doing that.
The goal sizes. The goal
sizes. Bad for you because then you open your wardrobe
every day and feel bad about yourself. Yeah, don't feel
bad about yourself. No.
I have a pair of Zara white stilettos that I can't bear to throw away even though I never wear them in a cupboard full of designer clothes
that I inherited from my mother because she was a compulsive shopper as well.
I bought a dress for $150 in Australia when I was 16.
I'm now 29 and never wore it, but I've kept it.
Get rid.
That's the thing.
Somebody else said that I have a size 10
moochie dress
that I bought myself
in 2006
for $350
but I was a size 10
but after birthing
three strapping lads
and battling PCOS
I'm a size 18 to 20
but I refuse to part with it
because one day
I'm going to be that size again
and Y2K fashion is back
oh mate shout out to a fellow sister it's bloody hard going to be that size again and Y2K Fashion is back. Oh mate.
Shout out to a fellow sister.
It's bloody hard.
Get rid of that size 10 dress.
It's just making you feel bad.
Yeah, don't do that.
I have RM Williams boots.
They cost me $800.
Apparently I have to wear them in
but they're too uncomfortable
to wear in.
I'll have them.
Are they a size 11 male's boot?
The only reason
they're not wearing them
is because they're hard to break in.
Yeah.
Wear them in the shower.
Put them on
and wear them in the shower. And because they don't live in cross shoes. Leather boots. Yeah. Yeah. Wear them in the shower. Put them on and wear them in the shower.
And because they don't live in crushes.
Leather boots.
Yeah.
We do it with marching boots.
You put them on, you stand in the shower and it just breaks them right in.
Nah.
It's leather.
Cows get ruined in the rain.
Yeah.
You see the melting puddles of cows?
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
